"Well, aren't you full of yourself? Aren't you afraid you'll bite off more than you can chew?"
Kyoraku Shunsui raised an eyebrow and said with a snort.
"Do you think it's that easy to establish a Special Operations Squad? And even if it is established, are you really so confident that you'll become its captain?"
Kyoraku Shunsui continued to snort.
"Are you stupid or something?"
Uchiha Hikaru looked at Kyoraku Shunsui as though he were looking at an idiot.
The Special Operations Squad was being established because of him in the first place, and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had not said a word.
Yet a mere Kyoraku Shunsui was saying that he would not become its captain?
Uchiha Hikaru nearly laughed out loud.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's expression darkened.

He should never have let him come to the Human World!
First he had caused trouble for him by arresting people at random, and now he was spouting nonsense again.
"Ahem. Kurosaki Ichigo will not be arrested for the time being. He will be retained as reserve Shinigami combat power. We will deal with him after the Special Operations Squad is established."
Yamamoto glanced at Kyoraku Shunsui, then turned and left the courtyard.
"Captain Commander Yamamoto, how are we supposed to explain this to the Central 46 Chambers?"
Kyoraku Shunsui hurriedly asked.
"I'll handle whatever comes up!"
Yamamoto could not even be bothered to look back as he walked out.
"Uchiha Hikaru, right? It's a bit of a shame that I couldn't fight you this time. I hope we'll have another chance in the future."
Kyoraku Shunsui looked at Uchiha Hikaru and spoke.
"Don't worry. There'll be plenty of chances in the future."
Uchiha Hikaru smiled faintly and replied calmly.
"Hmph!"
