Yusuke Uchiha fixed his gaze on the largest building in the center of the dilapidated village, slowly extending his right index finger towards it. "Hadō #88. Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō."
A blinding white energy wave, laced with blue lightning, instantly reduced the targeted building to rubble.
Although it was a chantless Hadō, Yusuke Uchiha's immense spiritual pressure amplified its power considerably.
Lisa Yadōmaru, who had been about to warn Yusuke Uchiha to proceed with caution, stared wide-eyed in astonishment, unable to believe that he had unleashed such a high-level Hadō technique without any incantation.
The 6th Division members behind Yusuke Uchiha, however, were unsurprised. Having fought alongside him, they were accustomed to their captain's overwhelming power. No matter how formidable the enemy, they were as helpless as infants against their captain.
The entire 6th Division had complete faith in Yusuke Uchiha; their respect for him surpassed even that for their former captain, Ginrei Kuchiki, who had led them for many years.
Following the destruction of the rebel base's building, a powerful spiritual pressure surged forth, manifesting as a colossal wall of fire that seemingly blocked Yusuke Uchiha's Hadō.
As the wall of fire dissipated, dozens of rebel Shinigami, covered in dust and grime, emerged from the ruins. Leading them was a powerfully built man with fiery red hair.
This man wielded a Zanpakutō whose flaming blade had a lion's head for a hilt—a fire-type Zanpakutō reminiscent of Ryūjin Jakka. This was Shinada Kōji, the rebel leader.
"Which damn coward ambushed us?!" Shinada Kōji roared in fury, his volatile temper evident.
Upon noticing Yusuke Uchiha, the captain in his haori, he immediately recognized him.
"You're the new 6th Division captain, Uchiha Yusuke. You're the one who's been harassing our revolutionary army!"
Yusuke Uchiha had been actively leading the 6th Division in suppressing the rebels. While Shinada Kōji hadn't met him personally, he'd gathered intelligence on him.
Yusuke Uchiha smiled. "Shinada Kōji, I'm afraid you'll have to accompany me. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence."
Shinada Kōji responded with fury, "You want me to go to the Seireitei? No way! You tried to wipe us out with that spell, but thanks to me, your plan failed."
Yusuke Uchiha shook his head. "You're mistaken. That wasn't my intention. As a law-abiding officer, my duty is to bring you all back to the Seireitei for trial."
As Yusuke Uchiha stated, he hadn't intended to kill them; the Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō was merely a tactic to draw them out of their hideout. If he'd wanted to eliminate them outright, he wouldn't have used a chantless technique.
Shinada Kōji snorted, "Regardless of your intentions, I'll settle this with you here and now, preventing further losses among my comrades!"
With a flash of fire in his eyes, Shinada Kōji brandished his Zanpakutō, bellowing, "Roar, Crimson Flame Lion!"
As Shinada Kōji released his Zanpakutō, a colossal lion, its body enveloped in raging flames, materialized beside him. Clad in scarlet armor, its claws shone menacingly sharp.
Witnessing their leader's powerful Bankai, the rebel Shinigami's morale soared.
Based on the spiritual pressure emanating from the Crimson Flame Lion, Yusuke Uchiha assessed Shinada Kōji as one of the strongest among the Gotei 13 captains. Kensei Muguruma, previously defeated by Yusuke Uchiha, would likely be no match for him.
"Release, Susanoo!"
Yusuke Uchiha immediately activated his Susanoo. While his sword alone was sufficient to defeat Shinada Kōji, the awe-inspiring Susanoo provided a significant psychological advantage.
Indeed, Susanoo's sheer size, imposing presence, and overwhelming spiritual pressure dwarfed the Crimson Flame Lion, instantly instilling fear in the rebel Shinigami while bolstering the 6th Division's confidence.
Shinada Kōji's rugged face took on a serious expression upon witnessing Susanoo's appearance. As the rebel leader, he wasn't as impulsive as he appeared; this was precisely why he had previously avoided direct confrontation with Yusuke Uchiha. Had Yusuke Uchiha not initiated this encounter, he would have continued to evade direct conflict with a Gotei 13 captain.
Without giving Shinada Kōji time to contemplate, Yusuke Uchiha, positioned atop his Susanoo, launched a preemptive assault against the rebel Shinigami.
Before the attack, Yusuke Uchiha instructed the 6th Division members to form a defensive perimeter, encircling the rebel Shinigami to prevent any escapes.
"Roar!"
The Crimson Flame Lion roared, charging towards Susanoo, its flames burning even more fiercely in battle.
Undeterred, the larger and more powerful Susanoo, wielding a massive katana, met the charge head-on. A single, devastating downward strike sent the Crimson Flame Lion staggering.
The force of Susanoo's blow caused the massive Crimson Flame Lion to plunge heavily into the earth, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
Unrelenting, Susanoo continued its relentless assault, its katana raining down blows upon the stunned Crimson Flame Lion, which could only manage occasional counterattacks with its sharp claws.
However, its claws proved virtually ineffective against Susanoo's hardened armor, failing to inflict even the slightest scratch. The intense flames surrounding the Crimson Flame Lion also posed little threat to Susanoo, which had already absorbed the power of Ryūjin Jakka.
Seeing his Crimson Flame Lion completely outmatched, Shinada Kōji gathered his spiritual pressure, launching a powerful flame slash towards Yusuke Uchiha, perched atop Susanoo, while simultaneously commanding the Crimson Flame Lion to unleash a biting attack.
Yusuke Uchiha effortlessly dispersed the incoming flame slash with a casual, sideways swipe of his left hand.
Although the Crimson Flame Lion managed to sink its teeth into Susanoo's shoulder, its sharp fangs failed to penetrate the sturdy shoulder armor, leaving only minor scratches.
"Crimson Flame Lion, Lion's Roar!"
Shinada Kōji bellowed, and the Crimson Flame Lion, its jaws still clamped onto Susanoo's shoulder, concentrated its spiritual pressure, forming a searing fireball within its mouth.
The fireball detonated, the resulting shockwave sending the Crimson Flame Lion flying backward while leaving a large, charred wound on Susanoo's shoulder.
