"Shisui, now!"
With the order given, Shisui's feet suddenly pushed off, and he immediately rushed toward Kuchiki Kōga, whose Zanpakutō was bound.
At the same time, Kenma leaped backward, jumping onto a high courtyard wall, looking down on the battlefield from above.
In his vision, two faint threads appeared from his chest. One end was connected to the charging Shisui, and the other was linked to Fushiguro Toji.
Kuchiki Kōga glanced out of the corner of his eye at Fushiguro Toji behind him, who was binding Muramasa. After his initial surprise faded, it was immediately replaced by contempt.
'Trash without even any spiritual pressure isn't worth mentioning at all.'
Seeing Shisui rushing over, Kōga's expression turned serious.
Although it was his first time seeing this person, he recognized him immediately.
He had heard from his father-in-law, Kuchiki Ginrei, that the Shin'ō Academy had recently produced two geniuses comparable to himself back in the day. One of them had attached himself to the Shihoin family and become their vassal.
"Named... 'Uchiha Shisui?'"
A look of disdain appeared on Kuchiki Kōga's face.
He originally had some interest in this so-called genius, but looking at him now, he was merely at the level of a seated officer.
'Far inferior to myself back then!'
'Father really is getting senile, comparing such a mortal to me.'
Seeing Shisui charge over holding a bizarrely shaped weapon, Kuchiki Kōga sneered.
'I'm really being underestimated.'
"Die, Vajra Blast!"
Facing Shisui, who was about to reach him, Kuchiki Kōga extended a finger and used a Kidō he had developed himself.
A scorching fireball condensed at his fingertip, its surface crackling with several crimson bolts of lightning, emitting a violent and dangerous aura.
The moment the Kidō took shape, Kuchiki Kōga fired it. It shot toward Shisui's position like a cannonball.
Seeing this unfamiliar Kidō instantly appear before him, Shisui immediately stopped, held out his hand, and chanted softly. "Bakudō #81, Dankū!"
A transparent barrier erected itself in front of him, blocking the entire street.
Boom!
The Vajra Blast struck the barrier and immediately exploded, erupting with endless high temperatures and flames, completely engulfing the street.
But no matter how powerful the Kidō was, it never broke the transparent defense.
Seeing this, Kuchiki Kōga's heart shook. 'An incantationless Bakudō #81!'
To be able to do this at such a young age... Kuchiki Kōga had to admit that he had just underestimated this genius from the Academy.
Besides this talent in Kidō, what shocked him even more was that in the instant Shisui used Dankū, his spiritual pressure suddenly erupted.
In that single moment, it surpassed that of an ordinary captain, almost equaling his own spiritual pressure. It reached the level of a Second-Class Rei'i!
'Is this really a level an unenrolled student can reach?'
"It seems I underestimated you."
Kuchiki Kōga's expression turned solemn, and he subconsciously went to draw his Zanpakutō. But the Zanpakutō didn't budge.
Kuchiki Kōga looked to the side. At the same time, the sound of something tearing through the air attacked him.
The man with no spiritual pressure had, at some point, broken through to his side and was gripping the blade of the Zanpakutō tightly.
'Such strength!'
His emerald-green eyes shrank abruptly, showing a look of disbelief.
'He's clearly just an ordinary departed soul with no spiritual pressure, how can he have so much strength?'
The sound of tearing air grew more intense.
The muscular man was holding his Zanpakutō with one hand and a three-section staff in the other.
The end of the three-section staff came from a distance, tore through the air, and was already smashing toward his chest.
Kuchiki Kōga's expression changed. 'Not good!'
Boom!
Kuchiki Kōga took the blow squarely. His figure was sent flying backward, crashing through a nearby courtyard wall. He didn't stop, continuing to fly into the distance.
He crashed through four or five walls in a row, flying two or three hundred meters before finally stopping.
A somewhat savage smile appeared on Fushiguro Toji's face. "Idiot. It wasn't just Uchiha Shisui you underestimated." "You underestimated me, too!"
In this surprise attack, Shisui was the cover, and he was the main attacker!
Toji shook the Zanpakutō in his hand, then tossed it to Kenma, who was standing on the distant wall.
Just as Kuchiki Kōga was taking his attack, his grip loosened, and Toji seized the chance to snatch it.
"Mission complete."
Kenma caught Kuchiki Kōga's Zanpakutō, held it in front of him to examine it, and nodded slightly.
'It's definitely Muramasa.'
'I didn't think I'd get it so easily. Kuchiki Kōga was too careless.'
Jumping to the ground, Kenma waved to the two of them, turned, and strode away.
"We have the target." "Let's go."
Shisui flashed behind Kenma, looking in the direction Kuchiki Kōga had been sent flying.
"My lord, shouldn't we finish him completely? Letting such a dangerous man exist in the world isn't a good thing."
Kenma shook his head. "We don't need to do it. The commotion here will soon attract a large group of people. Kuchiki Kōga won't be able to escape."
"Continuing to stay here will only put us in everyone's line of sight."
Besides that, Aizen, whom Kuchiki Kōga just mentioned, also had Kenma concerned.
'Who knows where Aizen is hiding right now.'
Kuchiki Kōga was extremely difficult to deal with. If they continued to fight him, even if he could win, the three of them would inevitably suffer injuries.
'If they ran into Aizen then, the outcome would be predictable.'
Toji crossed the street, which had been destroyed by the Kidō, and came up behind Kenma.
"It's fine to leave him. He took my attack head-on. He probably won't live much longer."
They had only taken a few steps when Toji's ear twitched. He suddenly stopped and looked back in confusion.
Kuchiki Kōga's voice rang out. "Cough cough, wait, brat!" "Give me back Muramasa!"
Kenma sighed, stopped, and turned around.
Kuchiki Kōga was clutching his chest with one hand and leaning on the wall with the other, walking out of the gap.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. His voice was much weaker than before, and interspersed with several coughs.
Looking at Kuchiki Kōga, who seemed relatively unharmed, Fushiguro Toji's eyes narrowed slightly.
He had used his full strength just now, without holding back, and the weapon he used was Yūun.
'He took that attack head-on, and the man in front of him can still walk and move, just coughing up a little blood?'
'Shinigami... are they all this strong?'
"Senior Kōga, I really don't want you to die at my hands. If you leave now, with any luck, you might still be able to escape the Seireitei."
These words from Kenma immediately made Kuchiki Kōga grit his teeth, his anger irrepressible.
"Brat, don't underestimate me! I was careless with that last attack. You won't get me so easily again."
As he spoke, Kuchiki Kōga used Shunpo, crossed the broken street, and appeared before the three of them.
Kenma looked at Kōga, who was clearly forcing himself to stand, and frowned. "Senior, you're without your Zanpakutō. What can you do now?"
"I can still do this!"
Kōga once again extended his palm toward the three, his spiritual pressure rampaging wildly, as if brewing an extremely dangerous technique.
Kenma immediately said, "Kill him, Shisui!"
Shisui had already been preparing himself from the moment Kōga came over.
Receiving Kenma's order, Shisui immediately used Shunpo. His figure flashed, appearing in front of Kōga, and he thrust the strange blade in his hand viciously toward his chest.
Facing Shisui's surprise attack, a triumphant smile tugged at the corner of Kuchiki Kōga's mouth.
"Whisper, Muramasa!"
