Chapter 189: Impart?
Second Division training ground.
Dozens of black-clad members, half their faces covered by masks, were engaged in combat training.
No shouting, no flashy movements—only silent, lethal strikes aimed directly at vital points!
One member, wielding a wooden dagger, seized an opportunity to thrust directly at his training partner's neck.
But halfway through his thrust, his movements suddenly froze.
His eyes widened with an incredulous expression.
Seeing his reaction, his training partner instinctively turned to look as well.
Then, showed the same expression.
At some unknown time, a figure had appeared in the air not far from the training ground.
The white captain's haori, along with his long white beard, fluttered in the wind.
"Captain-Commander Yamamoto?!"
"Why would that great man... come here?"
Yamamoto stood in the air, squinting as he surveyed the surroundings.
Finally, his gaze settled on a building with a distinctly different artistic style.
From its outline, one could vaguely tell it had once been a dojo.
However, the layers of special Kidō covering it, along with the special materials used to isolate Reiatsu, highlighted its unique purpose.
After confirming the target location, Yamamoto's Reiatsu slightly surged.
The long wooden cane in his hand turned to dust under the impact of his Reiatsu, revealing the long sword inside.
Snap!
Yamamoto reached out and firmly grasped his sword.
Then, he looked at the surrounding Second Division members.
"Everyone, evacuate the Second Division area."
"Riding Corps, notify the Kidō Corps to deploy a barrier wall, covering the Second Division barracks!"
After speaking, he took a step forward, his entire form trailing a long stream of Reiatsu light as he instantly descended before the Mikami Technical Bureau.
Seeing Yamamoto's actions, the Second Division members showed shock in their eyes.
Then, they quickly sprang into action.
Marenoshin rushed out of his office, staring dumbfounded in this direction.
What was happening?
The Captain-Commander had suddenly descended, heading straight for the Mikami Technical Bureau.
At the same time, he ordered everyone to evacuate and isolate the Second Division barracks with a barrier?
While still shocked, he suddenly sensed several new Reiatsu approaching from various directions.
Looking up, he saw several captains arriving from different directions.
Eighth Division Captain, Shunsui Kyōraku.
Twelfth Division Captain, Kirio Hikifune.
Thirteenth Division Captain, Jūshirō Ukitake.
Good grief, all three were heavyweights!
Under Marenoshin Ōmaeda's astonished gaze, the three captains arrived above the Second Division.
After confirming the Reiatsu fluctuations, the three exchanged glances, nodded, and then headed together toward the Mikami Technical Bureau.
Marenoshin: "..."
It's over. Something major has happened.
The Captain-Commander, accompanied by three veteran powerful captains, was going to kick down the door of the Mikami Technical Bureau.
What did this mean?
It was impossible for any enemy to infiltrate the Second Division barracks.
So external enemies were ruled out first.
Then, there was only one answer left.
Satoru must have committed some heinous crime, and the Captain-Commander was personally leading a team to arrest him!
The more he thought about it, the more Marenoshin felt his reasoning was sound.
Although only a third seat, it was well known that Satoru's strength was sufficient to serve as a captain.
The current scale of this operation was indeed a bit excessive, but considering Satoru's troublemaking ability, it still fell within a reasonable range.
So the question was, what should he do?
If Satoru had committed such a grave crime, he would surely be condemned by the Soul Society.
But, Miss Yoruichi clearly liked him.
If he rushed to report to Miss Yoruichi now, with the Shihōin Clan's status, it might not be impossible to protect Satoru...
Hesitating for two seconds, Marenoshin gritted his teeth and prepared to go find Yoruichi.
As soon as he turned around, he let out a startled cry and retreated several steps.
Without him noticing, Yoruichi had arrived with Suì-Fēng.
Seeing the gathering captains, Yoruichi frowned slightly.
Marenoshin hurriedly said, "Young mistress, you've come at the right time. Satoru, he—"
"Ōmaeda, go carry out Captain-Commander's orders."
"Suì-Fēng, find Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi."
Yoruichi's stern voice cut off Marenoshin's words.
Looking into Yoruichi's calm eyes, Marenoshin was initially surprised.
Then, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a relieved expression:
"Yes, Lady Yoruichi!"
The two disappeared with Flash Steps, and Yoruichi crossed her arms, looking toward the Mikami Technical Bureau.
Unlike Marenoshin, she wasn't worried that these people had come to deal with Satoru.
His teacher, two seniors, and one "disciple."
All were people close to Satoru and incredibly powerful.
Rather than worrying they would target Satoru, it was better to worry about what trouble Satoru had caused this time to draw out so many people.
...
...
Yamamoto stood quietly at the entrance of the Technical Bureau, holding Ryūjin Jakka.
When Shunsui and the others arrived, he slowly spoke:
"Jūshirō, and Captain Hikifune."
"You two guard this place. Until I emerge, no one... no being may enter or leave."
"Yes!"
Hearing Yamamoto's serious tone, both responded without hesitation.
"Shunsui, come with me inside."
"Be prepared."
With that, Yamamoto stepped into the Technical Bureau.
Shunsui drew his sword and quickly followed.
Watching their retreating figures, Jūshirō and Kirio wore grave expressions.
Just what had happened?
As soon as they entered the Technical Bureau, Yamamoto and Shunsui sensed Satoru's overwhelming Reiatsu.
Following the direction of the Reiatsu, they hurried forward.
Pushing open the door, they saw Satoru standing in the room, using his Reiatsu to suppress the entire space.
Not far away on the floor, a girl in a white uniform lay face down, restrained by several high-level Kidō spells wrapped around her like a cocoon, her face filled with despair and terror.
Shunsui couldn't help but blink.
What was this situation...
Judging by the girl's Reiatsu, she didn't seem to be a Shinigami.
A thought instinctively crossed his mind.
Could it be that our junior captured a human and called Old Man Yama here for some kind of party?
With this rebellious thought, he turned to look at Yamamoto.
He saw the old man's eyes wide, staring intently at the girl on the floor.
The old man's Reiatsu grew restless.
Shunsui instinctively stepped back two paces.
A killing intent as tangible as substance radiated from Yamamoto.
The next moment, the old man took a step forward, his violent Reiatsu instantly filling the entire research institute—
"Sternritter... why have you appeared here?!"
"Where did you come from?!"
"Where is Yhwach?!"
Bambietta's eyes widened, tears welling in their corners.
This old man... was he a monster?!
That little monster already had terrifyingly powerful Reiatsu, but this old man was far beyond even him!
