Above the World of the Living, two gates materialized in the sky. As they opened, Shinigami began to pour out. Sora followed behind Unohana, emerging from the Senkaimon.
He observed the terrain. It was a river valley, nestled against mountains, with lush vegetation and a high density of spiritual particles. It was no wonder the Quincy had established their base here.
On Sora's shoulder was a wooden tag engraved with the number "4." Unohana's requirements for her lieutenant's Kaidō skills were high, and she had not yet found a suitable candidate. After learning that Sora was participating in this war, she had made him the acting vice-captain of Squad 4.
He was in charge of protecting the medical relief team and leading them onto the battlefield to treat the wounded. This was a kind gesture from Unohana; she knew Sora needed to earn merit in this war, and with Squad 4, all he had to do was save a few people.
"Katori-kun, the battlefield is quite large. Let's split up," Unohana said to Sora.
"I will establish a medical camp here. You will be responsible for leading a portion of the medical team to the battle zone to provide first aid and evacuate the wounded to the camp. Their safety is in your hands."
"I will do my utmost to ensure their safety!" Sora promised.
The medical team did not enter the battlefield immediately, but waited for the fighting to go on for some time before moving in. The river in the valley flowed from west to east. The west was the upstream area and the center of the battlefield. Sora could sense several powerful Spiritual Pressure fluctuations still clashing there. He led his team to the downstream area, which should have been the site of the initial battle.
Upon entering the downstream forest, he sensed many unstable spiritual auras ahead. The forest was devastated, littered with signs of battle. Every few meters, one could see the body of a Shinigami or a Quincy.
"There are no strong enemies nearby. Form groups of three, quickly search the forest for the wounded, and bring them here for centralized treatment!"
"Yes, sir!"
A short while later, a Shinigami came to report. "Acting Vice-Captain Katori, we have finished searching this area. We have found 102 wounded and 69 dead."
Sora split the team in half, sending one group back to the main medical camp with the casualties. "The rest of you, continue forward with me."
He led a dozen or so medical personnel upriver. The battle ahead seemed to have been even more brutal. The river was no longer clear, and from time to time, the corpses of Shinigami and Quincy would float down.
Sora suddenly raised his hand, signaling the team to stop. "There's a fight ahead. I'll go first."
"Stealth Force?" Sora saw several figures in black uniforms. They were also participating in the war, responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and eliminating any straggling Quincy. But when he saw the technique one of them was using, his face darkened.
That Stealth Force member was using "Raikiri"! Although the person's face was covered by a hood, the sun-kissed skin and the arcs of lightning on the blade all pointed to one person: his disciple, Yoruichi Shihōin!
"How did Yoruichi get into this battle? Are the Shihōin family that reckless?" Sora was in disbelief. She was their primary heir.
The battle was already in its final stages. Yoruichi and her comrades were facing an injured Quincy. A volley of spirit arrows shot from a longbow was easily blocked. A Stealth Force member appeared beside the Quincy. At the same time, Yoruichi, holding her lightning blade, used Shunpo to get behind him.
Facing the coordinated attack of four people, the Quincy was overwhelmed and was cut down by two blades.
Yoruichi wiped the blood from her Zanpakutō. "Hoo, Quincy are much tougher than Hollows..."
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, giving her a great shock. The other three Stealth Force members also raised their Zanpakutō in alarm. When Yoruichi saw who it was, she was overjoyed. "Professor!"
Sora asked, "Yoruichi, what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to fight alongside you, professor!" she said, pumping her fist. "I heard the Stealth Force was participating, so I came along with them!"
Sora's eyebrow twitched. He noticed that a new training mission had just popped up on his panel.
[Current training mission added: Guide disciple Yoruichi Shihōin to complete battlefield training (In progress).]
"This is reckless. The battlefield is too dangerous," Sora said, still worried for his disciple's safety.
"The Stealth Force isn't the main frontline unit. It's not that dangerous. Besides, I'm not weak anymore!" she said. "And my family also hopes I can grow up quickly, so they agreed to let me come to the battlefield for experience."
"Then you will stay by my side. The medical team needs an escort as we go forward to treat the wounded," Sora said.
"Yes, sir!" Yoruichi nodded. The medical team, now with four Stealth Force members as guards, continued to advance.
