Yamabuki was originally taking an afternoon nap in his office when he suddenly heard a loud bang from Central 46 in the distance, startling him awake.
"What happened? Did the Quincy attack?" Yamabuki quickly patted his face to clear his head and looked towards Central 46. He saw a three-colored spiritual pressure column soaring into the sky, directly destroying half of Central 46.
Yamabuki couldn't help but exclaim, "How spectacular! No, this isn't the time to marvel at such things. I should hurry and see what happened!"
He quickly used Shunpo and headed towards Central 46.
Inside Central 46, it was a mess. Half of these normally high-and-mighty Great Sages were now lying dead on the ground, and the other half were crying and wailing, completely devoid of the composure expected of elites.
Kinroku Izuhara lay on the ground, completely incapacitated. Saitō Furōfushi gasped for breath, glaring fiercely at the woman in front of her. In a two-on-one situation, the opponent had defeated two Captains without a scratch. This combat power was too exaggerated.
"Aren't you going to call out the strongest person here? Otherwise, you will die." Unohana spoke the cruelest words in the gentlest tone. Saitō gritted her teeth. The elites of the Gotei 13 were all out on missions. If the Captain-Commander were here, you wouldn't be so arrogant.
"It seems you won't tell me. Farewell, young lady!" Unohana raised her sword, pointing it at Saitō Furōfushi's chest. Saitō had no strength left to resist and could only watch as the sword light, representing death, descended. But the next second, Unohana's expression changed because her sword did not pierce Saitō Furōfushi's body; the young lady had vanished into thin air.
"I finally made it."
A young man's voice came, and Unohana looked warily at the young man who had suddenly appeared before her.
Yamabuki held Saitō Furōfushi in one arm and his sword in the other, gazing at the surrounding devastation with a joyful expression. "Who did this? This is so incredibly satisfying! I've long been annoyed by these Central 46 members. Seeing these once high and mighty good-for-nothings wailing in pain, Yamabuki's face was filled with sorrow, but his heart was bursting with joy."
"Yam… Yamabuki, you're here! Thank goodness! Quickly, kill this madwoman!" The Central 46 members looked at Yamabuki as if he were their savior.
But when Yamabuki clearly saw the "madwoman" in front of him, he was completely taken aback.
"Unohana… Yachiru!" A chill ran down his spine. The craziest of the original Gotei 13 Captains had finally arrived.
Yamabuki suddenly recalled the mountain of corpses he had seen in the Zaraki District not long ago. No need to guess, it must have been this big sister's doing.
"Can you still move?" Yamabuki asked Saitō, who was in his arms.
Saitō said with a haughty expression, "Of course, no problem. Hiss, it hurts!"
Saitō had many wounds, big and small. Yamabuki activated Kaidō, slightly healing Saitō Furōfushi's injuries.
"I never thought that in the most crucial moment, the person who came to save me would be you!" Saitō Furōfushi said, her face a little flushed.
"You still owe me twenty-nine days of work. Of course, I can't let you die just like that. Leave this to me. You take the old man and go first." Yamabuki watched Unohana warily.
"Are you kidding me? The old man and I together weren't her match, let alone you!" Saitō Furōfushi said anxiously. In her opinion, the only hope now was to immediately bring the Captain-Commander back. This woman's strength was beyond what ordinary Captains could contend with.
"Don't underestimate me. Take the old man and go first. Leave this to me." Yamabuki said with great confidence, "And you all!"
Yamabuki's sword pointed at the remaining good-for-nothings from Central 46: "If you don't want to die, leave this place immediately. Seal off five kilometers, no, fifteen kilometers around here. No one is allowed in, or if you get caught and die, I won't be responsible."
The Central 46 members finally saw a glimmer of hope to survive. They scrambled out of this hell, then ordered other Shinigami to set up a barrier covering fifteen kilometers. Unless Yamabuki confirmed he had slain the enemy, the barrier would not be opened.
Unohana quietly watched Yamabuki calmly direct everything until only the two of them were left in the entire area.
"Are you the strongest person in the Gotei 13?" Unohana asked.
"No, I'm just a civilian officer. There are many stronger people than me. However, those who can fight aren't here right now, so I have to deal with you. My name is Yamabuki, Chief of Staff of the Gotei 13," Yamabuki said indifferently. At this moment, he was still wearing his haori, but his back was not a squad number, but a large character for "strategist."
A civilian officer? Unohana was a bit disappointed. The opponent's spiritual pressure was indeed not weak, but it was similar to the two people from just now. Such spiritual pressure could not be her opponent.
One strike should be enough to end the battle!
Unohana's figure instantly appeared in front of Yamabuki, raising her sword and slashing down. Just as the blade was about to touch Yamabuki, he disappeared. Then, a cool sensation pressed against Unohana's cheek—the touch of a blade. So fast!
Unohana instantly moved from her spot, the blade grazing her cheek.
"What a pity, what a pity, I thought I could kill you in one blow!" Yamabuki smiled slightly, but the next moment, that smile turned extremely ferocious: "Flash Flower!"
Yamabuki pushed the speed of Shunpo to its limit, using the speed of Shunpo to enhance the power of his swordsmanship.
However, Unohana's Shunpo was faster than Yamabuki's, and her swordsmanship was fiercer than Yamabuki's. The swordsmanship she used was similar to Yamabuki's, also using the speed of Shunpo to enhance the power of her swordsmanship.
Their figures flashed past each other, both standing in the other's previous position.
"Ah! It hurts! Such a fast sword!" Yamabuki looked at the wound on his shoulder.
Unohana's expression was somewhat surprised, because Yamabuki's sword had actually left a shallow mark on her hand. Although it was very shallow, it had been a long time since anyone had injured her.
Comparatively, Yamabuki was more severely injured, with his shoulder bleeding non-stop.
But the next second, Unohana's expression became even more peculiar, because she saw Yamabuki actually begin to use Kaidō to heal himself. In just a few seconds, such a wound completely healed.
"What kind of ability is this?" Unohana asked in surprise.
"This is Kaidō, a type of Kidō, specifically used by Shinigami for healing. Do you want to learn it? I'll teach you!" Yamabuki asked with a chuckle.
The opponent's strength is indeed very strong, but for now, it is still within my control. The advantage is mine!
