“You think my method is stupid, don’t you?”

Shin suddenly asked Yoruichi, whose lip was twitching uncontrollably.

“I do think it’s a bit foolish. Do you really think scouting all of Hueco Mundo is that easy?”

Yoruichi felt she needed to talk some sense into him. The workload was just too massive—she, for one, had no interest in doing it.

“Actually, this is the most reliable way. Do you have a better idea for finding Kuchiki Koga? Besides, for me, scouting all of Hueco Mundo isn’t that hard.”

Yoruichi thought about it. She really didn’t have a better plan. The only alternative would be to get Koga’s Reiatsu signature, then have the 12th Division build a device to track him.

“Alright, just follow me. Stick with me, and I guarantee we’ll find that Koga fellow,” Shin said, patting Yoruichi on the shoulder.

With that, Shin led Yoruichi on their search for Kuchiki Koga. Unless Koga had already left Hueco Mundo, Shin was certain he would find him.

———————————

It took about two days, but Shin pinpointed Kuchiki Koga’s location. Standing beside him was another man—Muramasa, the materialized form of his Zanpakutō.

“It seems Kuchiki Ginrei didn’t give me false information. You really did run off to Hueco Mundo.”

Shin looked calmly at Kuchiki Koga and Muramasa.

Muramasa, in turn, regarded Shin with extreme caution.

“Master, that’s Shin Uzumaki, the Captain of the 2nd Division. The Seireitei really sent a captain after us… Why don’t we just storm our way back?”

Muramasa suggested to Koga.

With his power, Muramasa was confident they could fight their way back and even had a chance of defeating the entire Seireitei.

Although Kuchiki Koga wasn’t even a lieutenant, his talent was exceptionally high. Kuchiki Ginrei had planned to groom him to become the next captain of the 6th Division.

After all, Ginrei’s own son, Sōjun Kuchiki, was frail and sickly from a young age, his talent and strength lacking. Becoming a lieutenant was the best he could hope for—a captaincy was out of the question.

So, while Koga was only the 3rd seat of the 6th Division, his strength already surpassed that of an average captain. He had achieved Shikai in his academy days, making him one of the most gifted Soul Reapers in the Soul Society’s history. Otherwise, he never would have been allowed to marry into the Kuchiki family.

“Shut up,” Kuchiki Koga said flatly to Muramasa.

In truth, Muramasa was a tragic figure. A Zanpakutō completely loyal to its master, only to be rejected in the end.

“I’ll give you two choices. The first is to come back with me quietly. The second is to die here in Hueco Mundo. I’ll respect your decision. Now, choose.”

Shin said to Kuchiki Koga.

“Shin Uzumaki, I know you’re strong. Today, let me see just how powerful you really are.”

Kuchiki Koga drew his Zanpakutō and charged toward Shin.

“Your Shunpo is impressive, but not quite there yet.”

Just as Koga’s blade was about to strike Shin, Yoruichi’s own Zanpakutō intercepted it.

“You want to hurt my captain? You’re not worthy… You’re just the third seat. I’ll be the one to deal with you.”

Yoruichi’s words were sharp and merciless, dismissing him as nothing more than a third seat.

Her words struck a nerve, reopening a deep wound in Koga’s heart. The third seat.

He, whose talent he believed was second to none, was now no longer just a genius but a true powerhouse. Yet, he was still just the third seat.

Of course, Koga was resentful. Ginrei had said it was to temper him, but Koga no longer believed that. The power struggles, the conspiracies against him—his heart was filled with hatred.

“DIE! <Adamantine Burst!>”

The tip of his Zanpakutō suddenly unleashed a fireball that exploded with tremendous force, sending Yoruichi flying.

Covered in dust and soot, Yoruichi’s expression turned ugly.

“Looks like I underestimated you.”

She was annoyed. To be caught off guard like that—even though she wasn’t injured, she looked completely disheveled. And Shin was watching from the side.

For Shin to see her in such a state was incredibly embarrassing.

‘Should I tell her about Muramasa’s power? Nah, let’s not.’

Shin thought for a moment and decided against giving Yoruichi any intel on Koga. He wanted to see how far she could go on her own.

In truth, Yoruichi was no weaker than Koga. Moreover, she had a crucial advantage: her Zanpakutō had no Shikai. A Zanpakutō without a Shikai probably couldn’t be turned against its master. Even if her Asauchi materialized and rebelled, how strong could it be?

So, she didn’t have to worry about Muramasa’s most broken ability.

However, Muramasa also possessed a degree of hypnotic power, similar to Kyōka Suigetsu, though not nearly as potent.

Muramasa was a powerful Zanpakutō, but Shin had no intention of copying it. It had limited use for him. If he were to copy Muramasa, he might as well copy something cool like Senbonzakura.

Senbonzakura wasn’t the strongest among all Zanpakutō, but in terms of sheer elegance, few could compare. It was perfect for showing off.

Strength wasn’t everything—style mattered too. Shin fully intended to copy Senbonzakura someday, but Byakuya was probably just a baby at this point.

“Master, I’ll help you.” Muramasa transformed into a shadow and lunged at Yoruichi.

His speed was so great that he left only a dark blur in the air.

“<Shunkō!>”

Sensing the danger, Yoruichi activated Shunkō without hesitation, instantly putting distance between them. She watched Koga and Muramasa warily.

“What exactly is this Kuchiki Koga’s ability? And that demonic-looking guy… that must be his Zanpakutō, right?”

Yoruichi retreated to Shin’s side and asked.

“No idea,” Shin replied, shaking his head.

Yoruichi didn’t doubt him—she assumed he genuinely didn’t know. If she knew he was deliberately withholding information, she’d probably want to eat him alive.

“Just be careful. You’re essentially facing two captain-level opponents,” Shin reminded her.

Both Kuchiki Koga and Muramasa possessed captain-level combat strength, and they were quite formidable even among captains. If Yoruichi wasn’t careful, she could be in for a world of hurt.

“Mm, I’ll defeat him.” Yoruichi nodded, a spark of battle in her eyes.

If she couldn’t defeat him, what was all her hard work for? Yoruichi was absolutely confident.

Let her see what kind of power this genius Soul Reaper, whose reputation even surpassed her own, truly possessed.

With Shunkō activated, Yoruichi’s presence was equivalent to that of a Soul Reaper in Shikai. Her aura was now every bit as strong as Kuchiki Koga’s.
