Shadow is an indifferent guy with almost no other expressions on his face. This is something that everyone knows about Seireitei.
However, at this moment, Shadow twitched the corners of his mouth, his brows were twitching, his face was covered with black lines, and he looked helplessly at the documents in the half room. For a long time, he was speechless.
"You can't blame me!"
Yoruichi Shihōin folded his hands on his chest, looked at Shadow with squinted eyes, and smiled slyly, "Who asked you to leave for just one month? This is not a long time!"
"Yes!" sighed, okay, Shadow accepted his fate.
Looking at Shadow's depressed look, Yoruichi Shihōin smiled crookedly. She had no choice but to tease Shadow when she had nothing to do. In fact, Yoruichi Shihōin knew very well that only in front of her would Shadow show expressions other than indifference, such as helplessness or laughter...
······
Since Shadow came back, Yoruichi Shihōin has returned to her former self, looking as energetic as ever. Everyone can clearly feel her change.
Shadow still leaves all team duties to Shadow. Yoruichi Shihōin probably only has time to play every day, taking Kisuke Urahara to drink, or playing running games with Byakuya Kuchiki, or teaching Soi Fon Hakuda and Shunpo.
The days were as ordinary as autumn water, but no one would have expected that a big thing happened in those ordinary days.
When the news came, Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara were finishing their drinks in the secret base of the cave, planning to take the Tenshintai 'gifted' by Kisuke Urahara back to Shihōin.
After hearing the news, Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara, whose faces changed drastically, immediately rushed to Fourth Division as quickly as possible.
When we arrived, the ward was full of people. Kaien Shiba, Hiyori Sarugaki, Kensei Muguruma, Lisa Yadomaru, Mashiro Kuna and others, as well as the other captains of Gotei 13, were all standing here.
But Kūkaku Shiba was lying on the hospital bed, his face was pale and bloodless, and one arm was empty.
"Kukaku!" Yoruichi Shihōin said worriedly.
"What kind of expression do you have! Yoruichi!" Kūkaku Shiba smiled pretending to be strong; "I just lost an arm! It's not like I'm here and I can't see you anymore, so don't make me look like I'm going to die soon, okay!"
Having said that, how to explain the bitterness and loneliness in that smile!
"Captain Unohana!"
Yoruichi Shihōin was obviously no longer in the mood to quarrel with his friends in the past, and turned to look at Retsu Unohana. She and Kūkaku Shiba grew up together, and their relationship was much deeper than that of Hiyori Sarugaki and others. Kūkaku Shiba has always been one of her most cherished friends.
"I can only save her life, but as for the arm..."
Retsu Unohana shook her head and did not say the rest of the words, but the meaning was very obvious and there was nothing she could do.
Yoruichi Shihōin's heart gradually sank as Retsu Unohana answered, and Kaien Shiba and others who had known the result for a long time also lowered their heads one by one.
"Isn't there any way!" Kisuke Urahara asked.
He shook his head again. For a Bleach, losing her arm would at the very least mean losing part of her strength. Especially for Kūkaku Shiba, the captain of Tenth Division, losing her arm meant that she could no longer serve as the captain.
"Don't worry, everyone, it doesn't matter if you don't become the captain! I can go back to Rukongai to be my pyrotechnics master. At the beginning, my dream was to become the most powerful pyrotechnics master. Now I have worked hard to realize it. You should be happy for me!"
Seemingly sensing the depressive atmosphere and the heaviness in the eyes of her friends, Kūkaku Shiba smiled and spoke. She didn't want everyone to worry about her or be unhappy about her.
Although Kūkaku Shiba said so, who would feel relaxed!
"Shadow, what about you!"
Yoruichi Shihōin turned around, looked at Shadow who was leaning on the door frame, and asked quickly, "You have a way, right! Shadow!"
In fact, Yoruichi Shihōin also sought medical treatment indiscriminately due to an acute illness. It's not that she didn't believe in Shadow, she just didn't have much hope. Even Retsu Unohana's medical skills were something that no one could do anything about, but she still asked, maybe because she wanted to hear a different answer.
"Yeah!" Looking at the anticipation in Yoruichi Shihōin's eyes, Shadow nodded slowly.
"Really!!!"
This sound was shouted out by everyone at the same time, with Yoruichi Shihōin, Kaien Shiba and Hiyori Sarugaki shouting the loudest.
"Yeah!"
"Then, Shadow, you can help Kukaku recover his arm!"
"..." Shadow shook his head expressionlessly and said nothing.
"What do you mean when you nod your head and shake your head now?" Yoruichi Shihōin spoke unhappily.
"My medical skills can make her grow arms again, but not now!"
"Hey!" Yoruichi Shihōin was stunned; "Why!"
"As long as you can restore Kukaku, I swear as the head of the Shiba Family family, Shiba Family will do whatever you want!"
Kaien Shiba couldn't help but rushed forward, grabbed Shadow's collar, and shouted eagerly.
Shadow narrowed his eyes, threw away Kaien Shiba's hand, and sneered, "Stop joking, if you were not Lady Yoruichi's friend, just what you said just now would make me unable to help but kill you!"
"Shadow!"
Yoruichi Shihōin's furrowed brows were almost glued together, and he spoke impatiently.
"I just saw it. There is still a very strong and special power left in her broken arm!" Seeing Yoruichi Shihōin become really anxious, Shadow said, "This kind of power will affect my technique and produce some consequences that even I can't predict!"
"You mean..."
"Find a way to get rid of it, or wait for the power to dissipate naturally, this is the best way!
"Really!" Yoruichi Shihōin gritted his teeth and asked, "Then, you can't even predict the consequences!"
"The lightest one will lose the power of Bleach! The heaviest one will die!!!"
······
In the end, Kūkaku Shiba chose to wait for the remaining power to disappear naturally, because no one could get rid of the strange power fluctuation. Originally, she did not agree to wait, but she could not withstand the persuasion of Kaien Shiba. Yoruichi Shihōin and others, so she had no choice but to give up.
Afterwards, Kūkaku Shiba resigned as captain of Tenth Division because he was injured while protecting a child while fighting Menos Grande who had fled into Seireitei. Therefore, Kūkaku Shiba stubbornly entered in the record that he had sacrificed his life instead of retiring. As for why, no one knows.
Kūkaku Shiba, who returned to Rukongai, put on his prosthesis and began to study the fireworks inherited from the Shiba Family's family attentively, and threatened to become Soul Society's number one pyrotechnics master.
Seeing Kūkaku Shiba, Yoruichi Shihōin, Kaien Shiba, Hiyori Sarugaki and others cheering up, they all breathed a sigh of relief and were very happy. We all grew up together. They were really worried that Kūkaku Shiba's impulsive temper would do something stupid.
The days were still going on in an ordinary way. Yoruichi Shihōin and Kūkaku Shiba, two masters with similar personalities who feared that the world would not be in chaos, suddenly thought of it. In front of Rukongai's Shiba Family gate, they piled two huge pillars with stones and hung a banner in the middle with "Kaien Shiba" written in super large characters.
This time made Kaien Shiba feel extremely embarrassed. After the resistance was ineffective, he finally decided not to take his colleagues home from now on. Of course, this is a story for another day...
