Just thinking about it, it's impossible!
Those are Yamamoto's disciples.
Among them, Kyoraku is even being groomed by Yamamoto as his successor.
This much, Unohana is clear about.
As for the others...
Don't be fooled by Kyoraku's seemingly frivolous appearance… if one carefully consider the many Captains of the Gotei 13, Kyoraku is actually the most reliable one.
Now, the fact that Yamamoto would rather stage a fight with his two disciples than take action against Ichigo has already revealed a lot.
If she stayed here, she would only be causing trouble for Yamamoto.
If she acted, she would disrupt the plans of Yamamoto and Kyoya.
If she didn't act, it would give the nobles of the Central 46 an excuse.
Rather than that, it was better to go study Aizen's corpse and see if there were any new discoveries.
"Tch, ran away, huh?"
In the Tsunayashiro Residence, Kyoya looked at the empty manor and couldn't help but shake his head.
It was clear that this guy, Tsunayashiro Tokinada, was quite cautious.
No surprise, this guy probably usually used his Zanpakuto, Enrakyoten, to copy the Bankai of Soya Azashiro's Zanpakuto, Urozakuro, and integrated it into the air of the Seireitei to monitor everything.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to flee the Seireitei upon detecting Kyoya's move against the nobles.
After the Thousand-Year Blood War, it was also by relying on this ability that Tokinada was able to take Ikomikidomoe from the Royal Guard after all its members were killed by Yhwach.
Although Tokinada's escape was unexpected for Kyoya, it wasn't a big deal.
After all, Kyoya was just taking a casual shot in the dark.
If he could kill Tokinada and vent some frustration, Kyoya naturally wouldn't mind.
But forcing Tokinada to flee, thinking about his wretched appearance, would also make Kyoya happy.
Anyway, there was plenty of time in the future.
After dealing with Aizen and Yhwach, he could use Tokinada for some entertainment.
After all, using Enrakyoten consumes the user's soul.
Tokinada had been constantly using Enrakyoten to copy Urozakuro and monitor the Seireitei, so his own soul was almost depleted.
Generally, the lifespan of Shinigami is more than ten times that of ordinary humans.
But because Tokinada used Enrakyoten for extended periods, his own lifespan was similar to that of an ordinary human.
No surprise, in order to keep himself alive, or because he wanted to go on a rampage before his death, he would execute his [Substitute Soul King] plan.
Of course, currently, because Tokinada still lacked Gremmy's brain, Ubuginu Hikone was still just a defective product lying in nutrient fluid without a brain.
Not finding Tokinada at the Tsunayashiro Residence, Kyoya didn't linger and directly left.
Sensing the Reiatsu released by Yamamoto in the distance, and the surging Reiatsu of Kyoraku and Ukitake, Kyoya knew that they must have already sealed Sokyoku and were currently in a confrontation with Yamamoto.
"Oh? The fight over there has started too?"
As for the others...
"Interesting, Ichigo is actually facing Sui-Feng?"
Rubbing his chin, Kyoya's eyes shifted, and he hurried towards Sokyoku Hill.
Within the shadows of the Seireitei dwell the many Quincies of the Wandenreich.
They constantly monitor everything in the Seireitei, collecting information.
Currently, Kyoya, while unable to perceive the interior of the Wandenreich, could still sense if there were any 'gazes' focused on him.
When no one was paying attention to him, Kyoya would use his Logia intangibility to travel.
But when gazes gathered on him, Kyoya would use Shunpo to travel.
For Kyoya, the difference wasn't significant.
Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Ichigo's and Sui-Feng's Zanpakuto collided, sparks flying everywhere.
'This guy, such strong power!'
Sui-Feng gritted her teeth.
She never expected that Ichigo, who reportedly became a Shinigami less than two months ago, would possess such strength.
Every time their blades clashed, she felt her hands go numb from the impact.
'If this continued, I might actually lose!'
When it came down to it, Sui-Feng had only been a Captain for a few decades.
Within the Gotei 13, her strength was probably only slightly stronger than Komamura Sajin's.
But if they fought purely based on Bankai, Komamura Sajin's giant blade, Tenken, was more powerful than her assassination techniques.
Realizing her current state was no match for Ichigo, Sui-Feng didn't hesitate and directly retreated.
"Sting all enemies to death… Suzumebachi!"
"Brat, you'd better be careful from now on."
Wiping her hand over her Zanpakuto, instantly, the Zanpakuto in Sui-Feng's hand transformed into a golden and black spiraled fingerstall, sheathing the middle finger of her right hand.
After releasing her Zanpakuto, white Reiatsu light shimmered around Sui-Feng's body.
"My Zanpakuto, Suzumebachi, has the ability 'Two-Hit Kill'!"
"As long as my Zanpakuto stings the same spot twice consecutively, the target will die instantly."
"If you can't hold on, you can surrender and admit defeat at any time."
"Ah, thank you."
Ichigo held Zangetsu with both hands and said solemnly, "However, I don't think I'll need to surrender."
Zanpakuto possess all sorts of abilities, Kyoya had already mentioned this to him during their practice yesterday.
Kyoya's Zanpakuto ability was 'Light', possessing nearly invincible speed.
Even his own speed after Bankai was far inferior to Kyoya's.
As for this 2nd Division Captain's Zanpakuto's 'Two-Hit Kill', although it sounded fearsome, in Ichigo's view, it was nothing special.
Truly powerful abilities only needed one move to kill the enemy.
If being stung twice meant death, then he just needed to be careful not to get stung twice.
Better yet, try not to get stung even once!
"Is that so? I hope you remain this confident later!"
Although she said that, Sui-Feng wouldn't actually use the Two-Hit Kill ability on Ichigo.
'No matter what, this brat was a junior chosen by Yoruichi-sama, and Yoruichi-sama had previously asked me to look after him a bit.'
'Knocking him down without letting him get seriously injured should count as fulfilling my duty to Yoruichi-sama!'
'After all, if this guy encountered other Captains, they wouldn't be as lenient as me.'
Whoosh-
Sui-Feng's figure flashed, appearing beside Ichigo.
Swish-
Ichigo swung his sword, but Sui-Feng's figure dissipated into an afterimage.
Next, Ichigo used Shunpo while simultaneously swinging his Zanpakuto around himself.
Sui-Feng's figure traced numerous afterimages circling Ichigo, all eventually shattered by Ichigo's slashes.
A few seconds later, Ichigo looked at Sui-Feng, who had reappeared in front of him, his expression extremely grave.
"See that, brat?"
Ichigo's gaze lowered slightly, and soon he discovered black butterfly patterns swelling up on his arms, legs, chest, and various other places.
"Every place stung by my Zanpakuto will manifest a 'Homonka'."
"As long as two identical Homonka overlap, it will activate my Zanpakuto's Two-Hit Kill."
"At that time, even a god won't be able to save you!"
"Considering your relationship with Yoruichi-sama, I will plead for leniency for you."
"Ah, thank you for holding back."
Ichigo glanced at the Homonka on his body and thanked Sui-Feng.
He knew that with Sui-Feng's speed after releasing her Zanpakuto, she could easily have stung him twice before he could react.
"However, I'm going to go all out now too!"
Taking a deep breath, Ichigo pressed his left hand onto his right wrist-
"Bankai-"
Boom
With Ichigo's roar, violent Reiatsu erupted from his body.
Boom!
The sand and dust on Sokyoku Hill, under Ichigo's Reiatsu, formed a huge sandstorm tornado, encircling Ichigo in the eye of the storm.
"Tensa Zangetsu!"
As Ichigo's Reiatsu surged to its limit, the sandstorm tornado was directly shattered, spreading outwards like a donut in waves of sand and wind.
Seeing Ichigo's new form, Sui-Feng's pupils abruptly contracted.
"What did you just say?"
"Bankai?"
Unlike Byakuya, Sui-Feng did not question whether Ichigo's slender Zanpakuto was truly a Bankai.
After all, in Byakuya's understanding, a Zanpakuto's Bankai enhances the ability's range to its maximum.
What shocked Sui-Feng was naturally Ichigo's growth speed.
From Yoruichi, Sui-Feng knew Ichigo had only been a Shinigami for two months.
That he possessed Captain-level Reiatsu was already astonishing to Sui-Feng.
She never expected this guy to have even learned Bankai.
Even within the Gotei 13, Shinigami who can learn Bankai are considered one-in-a-million geniuses.
Like Sui-Feng herself, it took her about twenty years to complete her Zanpakuto's Bankai Training and truly become the Captain of the 2nd Division.
'This guy actually completed Bankai Training after only two months as a Shinigami?'
'No, if this guy had achieved Bankai, Yoruichi-sama would have told me.'
'From the time Yoruichi-sama met me until now, it had only been three days.'
'That meant this brat learned Bankai in three days?'
For some reason, Sui-Feng sensed the shadow of that detestable man on Ichigo.
"..."
Sui-Feng gritted her teeth.
'If not for that man, Yoruichi-sama would never have left the Seireitei!'
'Even if she left, she would have taken me with her.'
'After all, if that man hadn't violated the Seireitei's ban and been judged by the Central 46, Yoruichi-sama wouldn't have been in such a hurry.'
Ichigo's figure turned into an afterimage, instantly appearing in front of Sui-Feng.
Ding-
Sui-Feng was greatly alarmed, pressing Suzumebachi directly against Ichigo's Zanpakuto.
Then-
Boom!
The tremendous force directly sent Sui-Feng's small figure flying.
'This guy is so strong!'
'So fast!'
Sui-Feng never imagined that after Ichigo's Bankai, she couldn't even withstand a single move from him.
If not for her high proficiency in Shunpo, she might have been instantly defeated by Ichigo earlier.
"This kind of Zanpakuto's ability-"
With just one strike, Sui-Feng saw through Ichigo's Zanpakuto's ability.
Of course, this wasn't because Sui-Feng's insight was greater than Byakuya's.
Rather, Ichigo's Zanpakuto's ability was something Sui-Feng had once dreamed of.
Her Zanpakuto Suzumebachi's Shikai Ability, Two-Hit Kill, was very compatible with the 2nd Division.
But Sui-Feng's Zanpakuto's Bankai went against her understanding of 'assassination'.
The power of Jakuho Raikoben was unquestionable.
If hit head-on, few could survive.
However, Sui-Feng didn't like this ability.
In her mind, as the leader of the Onmitsukido, her Zanpakuto's Ability should naturally be silent and undetectable.
'Damn it!'
If her Zanpakuto's Bankai were like Ichigo's, completely condensing her Reiatsu to enhance speed and power, Sui-Feng felt her strength would be several levels higher than now.
Cursing inwardly, Sui-Feng didn't want to admit defeat like this.
At the very least, she didn't want to lose to that lazy man!
"Shunko!"
With Sui-Feng's shout, lightning erupted from her shoulders, directly tearing the sleeves of her Shihakusho.
Shunko is a technique created by Shihoin that fuses Kido and Hakuda.
Once, Yoruichi's Zanpakuto's Ability also wasn't the ability she desired.
Even after completing her Zanpakuto's Bankai Training, Yoruichi rarely used her own Zanpakuto.
Regarding this, Yoruichi's Zanpakuto felt neglected and repeatedly poured out its feelings to Yoruichi in the Inner World, hoping she would use its power more.
But Yoruichi found this troublesome and ultimately abandoned it.
To compensate for the loss of combat power from not using her Zanpakuto's Bankai, Yoruichi created a technique that fused Kido and Hakuda, named… Shunko!
Of course, Yoruichi only left this technique with the Shihoin Family.
The 2nd Division only held records of Yoruichi's ideas for creating this technique.
Based on the materials left by Yoruichi, Sui-Feng herself completed the training of Shunko over the past few decades and used it in her previous battle with Yoruichi.
This was the second time Sui-Feng used Shunko in battle!
Moreover, because she received guidance from Yoruichi, the completeness of Sui-Feng's Shunko had improved significantly compared to before.
Stimulated by Kido, Sui-Feng's speed and power received a huge boost, now barely able to keep up with Ichigo's speed and power after his Bankai.
