When Kenma returned to the Shihoin residence draped in the white haori, Yoruichi's face instantly showed an expression of astonishment.
"Where did you get that haori?"
"Or did that old man Yamamoto recommend you to become a Captain?"
After spending time with her husband, Yoruichi had gradually realized that he was deliberately hiding some things from her.
Among them was his personal strength.
Even so, Yoruichi didn't feel that her husband would do anything detrimental to her or the Shihoin family, so she simply let it be.
She would wait until he was willing to tell her.
However, a cat's curiosity is very strong.
Yoruichi had once been unable to restrain her curiosity and pressed her husband for answers. At that time, Kenma's reply was that he had just reached Captain-level Reiatsu and hadn't mastered Bankai yet.
Yoruichi always felt that he hadn't explained everything thoroughly and was definitely hiding something.
According to her speculation, her husband's strength was likely considerably stronger than some Captains.
At least around the same level as herself.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back unscathed after encountering Kuchiki Kōga.
Hearing Yoruichi say this, Kenma turned around, revealing the large character 'Stealth' (Onmitsukidō) on his back.
He extended a thumb, pointing at the character on his back.
"Considering the Gotei 13's lackluster performance in the Kuchiki Kōga incident, Central 46 specially issued an order to support the Kidō Corps and separate the Onmitsukidō from the Gotei 13, hoping to better protect the Seireitei."
"And I have been appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Onmitsukidō."
"In other words, Yoruichi, you no longer have jurisdiction over the Onmitsukidō. You are just an ordinary Captain of the Second Division!"
Hearing Kenma's words, Yoruichi raised an eyebrow, a look of realization appearing on her face.
"So that's what you meant when you mentioned the Onmitsukidō the other day."
As her voice fell, Yoruichi grabbed Kenma's shoulders from behind, leaped lightly, and straddled his shoulders, riding on his neck.
She extended both hands and squeezed Kenma's head tightly.
"I say, why are you still putting on airs with me?"
"Whatever orders Central 46 issues, isn't it all just a matter of a single word from you!"
Kenma felt a weight on his shoulders and a soft sensation against the back of his head. The palms pressing against both sides of his head had that familiar, slightly cool feeling.
He looked up, Yoruichi's grinning face reflecting in his eyes.
"Mr. Uptight, did you know? I told Father about you controlling Central 46..."
"What was his reaction?"
"Not good."
"Hmm?"
Under Kenma's puzzled gaze, Yoruichi smiled and said, "When he heard what you did, Father got so excited he almost passed away."
"He also said this was the first time he had suppressed those guys from the Tsunayashiro family. By the way, the members of the main Tsunayashiro family are pretty much all dead now."
"Who is the head of the Tsunayashiro family now?"
Yoruichi frowned; the name that had just been in her mind vanished as soon as she tried to say it.
Kenma was clearer on this than Yoruichi. Just as he was about to prompt her, Yoruichi covered his mouth.
"Don't tell me, I can remember."
"It's... it's that, that..."
After thinking for a long time, Yoruichi still couldn't squeeze out the name. Finally, she moved her hand away from Kenma's mouth.
"Anyway, his surname is Tsunayashiro, right?"
"...Yoruichi, you're really smart..."
Faced with Kenma's praise, Yoruichi rubbed the back of her head embarrassedly and laughed sheepishly.
Kenma sighed.
"The current head of the Tsunayashiro family is from a branch family. His name is Tsunayashiro Tokinada."
"Right, right, that's him."
Saying that, Yoruichi gently knocked on Kenma's head below.
"I told you not to give me a hint; I could have remembered."
"You couldn't remember jack."
Kenma rolled his eyes.
After Kuchiki Kōga's slaughter, all the heirs of the Tsunayashiro main family were dead, and it finally fell to this branch family member with a terrible and malicious personality.
Kenma knew a bit about Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
Years ago, he had murdered his own wife and colleague but escaped punishment due to the Tsunayashiro family's status. Later, he was reported by Kyōraku Shunsui and imprisoned for hundreds of years.
And the wife he killed was the friend of Tōsen Kaname, who was by Aizen's side.
It was precisely because of him that Tōsen Kaname fell completely onto the path of revenge and was eventually taken in by Aizen.
Mentioning this person, Kenma's voice revealed a sense of solemnity.
"Yoruichi, he is from the same era as Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jūshirō. He has been imprisoned at home for the last few hundred years, so it's normal that you don't know him."
"If I had to say, this person is undoubtedly a villain!"
"You must absolutely not get involved with him."
It was rare for Yoruichi to see Kenma show such an attitude toward someone. She couldn't help but get curious.
"That guy actually disgusts you that much!"
"What evil deeds did he commit to be locked up by the Tsunayashiro family for hundreds of years?"
Such an exaggerated sentence—if it were Yoruichi, she'd rather they just kill her.
Kenma said, "Years ago, Tsunayashiro Tokinada killed his own wife and colleague..."
This person had a twisted personality, was insidious and vicious, and would do anything to achieve his goals.
Take the incident committed by Kuchiki Kōga this time. Saying an outsider slaughtered all the heirs of the Tsunayashiro main family?
Regardless of what others said, Kenma didn't believe it.
He had a feeling that Tsunayashiro Tokinada's handiwork was definitely involved.
It was even possible that Tsunayashiro Tokinada had slaughtered the entire main family line himself and then framed Kuchiki Kōga.
Annihilating one's own clan wasn't something Tsunayashiro Tokinada hadn't done in the original story.
"Killed his colleague and wife..."
After listening to Kenma's detailed introduction, Yoruichi's golden eyes suddenly contracted, revealing an expression of disgust.
No wonder Kenma had such an attitude.
Such scum—anyone with a normal moral compass would be disgusted upon hearing about him.
The Tsunayashiro family was nauseating trash as a whole, and this current head was the trash among trash.
Yoruichi reacted, reaching out to stroke Kenma's face, feeling a burning warmth from her palm.
"Mr. Uptight, will you be like that one day too?"
"Just like that scum, killing me and my brother to seize the Shihoin family."
Kenma looked at Yoruichi's utterly serious expression, feeling speechless inside but showing a trace of helplessness on his face.
Thinking random thoughts all day—he didn't know how her mind had jumped to this.
"Yoruichi, even if I wanted to seize the Shihoin family, would I need to go through so much trouble?"
"Besides, you're underestimating me too much."
"How could a tiny Shihoin family satisfy my appetite? My goal is the entire world!"
Hearing her husband's words, Yoruichi felt a bit of amusement at her own paranoia.
She chuckled lightly, bent down, and lowered her face, pressing her lips against his.
Waiting until Yoruichi was flushed red, Kenma released her tongue and urged, "Yoruichi, how long are you going to stay on me? Doesn't it feel uncomfortable?"
"Nope. You'll be my horse from now on, ridden by me for lifetime after lifetime."
Yoruichi grinned mischievously, her legs locking around Kenma's neck.
"Giddy up! Go forward, through the corridor."
"Yes, back to the bedroom."
