Chapter 20: Fighting two Lieutenants
Seeing Yuna pulling out her sword while simultaneously making a joke, Matsumoto couldn't help but chuckle a little herself while Kira frowned deeply.
'Why is she so relaxed despite standing in front of two Lieutenants? Maybe she doesn't know who we are? No, we have both called each other by name and rank, so she should know who she is facing. In that case, she is confident... or arrogant.'
"Since you've already drawn your sword, it's clear that you plan on resisting, so we'll have to use force."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kira vanished from his position and appeared in front of Yuna with his sword already swinging downward.
"Well then, let's see what a Lieutenant can do."
*Clang*
A loud metallic sound was produced as the two swords clashed, Yuna easily blocking Kira's downward strike. However, the moment his sword was blocked, Matsumoto appeared next to them and slashed at Yuna horizontally.
"You might think fighting two-on-one is dishonorable, but I don't care about stuff like that~"
Fortunately, Yuna saw the attack coming and slightly twisted her blade, resulting in Kira's sliding away, resulting in his sword blocking Matsumoto's, while Yuna's moved and stopped just before cutting off Kira's head.
"That was pretty unimpressive. Are you perhaps looking down on me?"
As she said those words, power Spiritual Pressure erupted out of her and engulfed the duo, making them sweat.
Yuna moved her sword, but instead of cutting off Kira's head, she casually rested it on her shoulder as she looked at the duo in boredom.
"Well? At least show me your Shikai before I defeat you. I'm curious and have only seen weird-feeling ones."
Seeing that Yuna had taken away her blade, the duo quickly jumped backward to gain some distance from Yuna. Neither of them had expected to meet such a powerful, unknown figure. They briefly glanced at each other before nodding their head.
"[Growl, Haineko]"
"[Raise your Head, Wabisuke]"
As soon as they finished speaking, both of their Zanpakuto went through a change. While Kira's got bent at its tip twice, forming a rectangle with one side missing, Matsumoto's straight-up turned into dust. Seeing the duo's Shikai forms, Yuna couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Okay, I take that back. It seems like Shikai are always a little weird."
As she said that, she blocked Kira's weirdly formed Zanpakuto, and as soon as the two swords collided, Yuna's eyes widened in surprise.
Due to Kira only using a light strike, he was immediately ready for the next one, but instead of clashing again, Yuna used the palm of her hand to lightly change the trajectory of the sword while moving her body to dodge the attack fully.
While doing so, the dust Matsumoto's sword turned into, engulfed Yuna, and as soon as Matsumoto made a slash with her bladeless hilt, Yuna could feel an attack coming and moved her body to the side, barely avoiding a slash wound.
"*Whistle* Those are some nasty abilities~ Especially your, it's disgusting. Doubling the weight of what your attack is nasty business. I wonder if it doubles every time or if you only add the base weight~"
Kiba's face grew solemn when Yuna instantly figured out the ability of his Zanpakuto, while Matsumoto wasn't looking good either due to Yuna actually dodging her first attack. The first one tends to be a freebie.
"Well, since you showed me your Shikai, I guess I should at least show you mine as well."
As she finished speaking, she pointed her Zanpakuto at the duo with a twisted grin on her face.
"[Unleash Pandemonium on this World, Chaos.]"
As Yuna finished speaking, her sword twisted and distorted, with rigged edges everywhere, while not a single straight line could be seen, making it look like a large saber with a twisted and sharp edge on both sides of the blade. Additionally, its color scheme was twisted as well, as the whole sword turned into a twisted mess of black and white, making it impossible to see a pattern.
Seeing Yuna's Shikai, the duo couldn't help but frown. Although it didn't necessarily look evil, there was a certain uncanniness to the sword. It felt like it didn't belong here.
"Well then, shall we?"
As soon as those words left Yuna's mouth, she disappeared from where she stood and reappeared in front of Kiba, slashing her sword down, seemingly seeking to clash with him.
Obviously, Kiba would oblige, as this was the easiest way for him to make Yuna's Zanpakuto too heavy to use, but the moment they clashed, he regretted that decision. It felt like Yuna's weighed a few tons as it collided with his own, making him groan.
'How can she swing something so heavy?'
However, the next moment she raised her sword as if it was as light as a feather and slashed toward Matsumoto's dust, causing it to clash with her flying slash, blocking it.
Yet again, she put her focus on Kira, making him frown. Although he would rather not directly block Yuna's strike again, he could still reflect it by using some strength. So, as he angled his sword to deflect some of the blunt force, Yuna's sword landed on his yet again; however, this time, the attack felt like it weighted more or less as much as a normal Zanpakuto, resulting in Kira using to much strength, making him stumble.
Yuna would have probably cut him right there if it wasn't for Matsumoto blocking the attack for him. And just like that, the trio continued fighting, with Kira mostly on the offensive, while Matsumoto would defend; however, the more they clashed, the more Kira wanted to curse as he couldn't get a read on Yuna at all.
'What is her Zanpakuto's ability? Is it just to change its weight? Have I really encountered an enemy that perfectly counters my ability? No, there is something of about this! She uses the change in weight too clumsily and randomly.'
While Kira had an internal dialogue, Yuna had her own inner dialogue,
'Ohh~ This is pretty interesting.'
[Gah~ Wanna do more! Boring!] The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
'Hahaha, well, it can't be helped, Chaos. You are still young, after all.'
[Soon, something new *Gah*!]
[*Sigh* I don't think there is anyone else in existence who can make use of such an outrageous ability.]
'That's right; I'm that awesome~'
Meanwhile, in the outside world, the fight was in a bit of a lull, as Matsumoto and Kiba were standing next to each other while breathing heavily, and Yuna was busy ogling Matsumoto's cleavage that she so graciously displayed and was now covered with a thin sweat film, while her breasts were moving up and down due to the heavy breathing.
'Such a nice view~'
[*Gah* Big tiddies! Big tiddies!]
Meanwhile, Kira managed to catch his breath and glared at Yuna.
"Your Zanpakuto's ability allows you to freely change the weight of your sword, right? Shit, to think I would encounter the perfect counter to my sword."
"Yeah, I noticed you staring."
"Wasn't trying to hide it."
"I noticed that as well. Personally, I don't mind, but are you always acting so outrageous?"
Yuna wagged her finger at her before she resumed talking with a smug voice.
"It's only outrageous when the other party thinks it is. Considering your deep cleavage, you clearly use your assets as an additional tool to distract your enemies, so it would be weird for you to hate when I do what you want me to do."
As soon as Yuna finished speaking, Matsumoto's steps halted as she looked at Yuna in disbelief.
"Wait a moment, are you actually smart?
Yuna couldn't help but chuckle in amusement when she heard Matsumoto's question, while a slight blush appeared on Matsumoto's face as she realized that that question was rather rude.
"Sorry, I..."
"No need to be sorry. I'm fully aware of the way I act and how people perceive it. Oh, and don't get me wrong, that battle-hungry face I showed you wasn't a facade. I DO love to fight."
Seeing that Yuna wasn't angry, Matsumoto sighed in relief while a relaxed smile appeared on her face. However, a few moments later, she realized something else and couldn't help but chuckle a little, causing Yuna's eyebrows to rise.
"What's up?"
"Hehe, nothing, it's just that no one ever told me they 'can't wait to sink their face into my breasts', so I couldn't help but chuckle at the boldness."
"WHAT!? That's outrageous! How is it possible that no one ever told you that? Are all men in Seireitei eunuchs?"
"Rather than eunuchs, I think they simply have enough common sense not to say that to a woman they have just met."
"That's common sense?"
"Yup."
"As expected, that shit is totally useless."
Hearing Yuna's words, Matsumoto could only chuckle in amusement.
Meanwhile, in another part of Seireitei, a kind-looking man with ruffled brown hair was patiently waiting for a certain group to appear in Seireitei. He had noticed a temporal fluctuation within the zone between the two worlds and had calculated where and when Ichigo's group would arrive in Soul Society. Considering he was the only one that knew that people would be coming, he was confident that no one else had noticed.
A few minutes later, a young man with a treacherous facial expression entered the room.
"Captain Aizen, it seems intruders have appeared."
Aizen's eyes widened slightly, as he had not predicted for people to be here already. Did he miscalculate? Or maybe, not everyone was caught up in the fluctuation.
"Please tell me what happened, Gin."
Instead of answering, Gin took a piece of paper and showed it to Aizen. On the paper was a photo of the current state of Seireitei's outer wall, fully revealing the damage Yuna's bolder had done, causing Aizen's eyebrows to twitch briefly.
"Well, that certainly is one way to get into Seireitei, but who came up with such a crude method? There is no way Urahara Kitsuke would allow something like this, and neither would Yoruichi Shihōin. Who is the intruder?"
Hearing Aizen's question, an awkward expression appeared on Gin's face. They had spy cameras all over Seireitei, but somehow that intruder managed to dodge all of them.
"Unfortunately, we don't know that yet. We neither know who it is and not even how many there are. I'm not sure what is going on, but whoever got into Seireitei either knows it like the back of their hands or is an absolute master of stealth."
Hearing Gin's explanation, Aizen briefly pondered the situation, and after around a minute, he opened them again while a small smirk appeared on his face.
"Or both. I see; Yoruichi Shihōin has taken it upon herself to scout the situation beforehand. She used a crude method of entry to draw more attention to the gate, to distract the people to make it easier for her to roam the inner city. It's not a method the Yoruichi Shihōin I know would use, but it has been a while, so who knows? Personally, that is the only theory I can come up with right now."
Hearing Aizen's words, Gin nodded in agreement. He had come to the same conclusion, as, in his opinion, only a previous member of Seireitei's Stealth Force could infiltrate the city so flawlessly.
"Would you like me to do something to counter her actions?"
Hearing Gin's question, Aizen briefly fell silent as he pondered what kind of ramification her presence could have, but after thinking about it for long enough, he simply shook his head.
"She can scout however much she wants; she won't find anything of significance. We have been hiding out moves from all of Seireitei for decades now; there is no way a single person can unmask us in a mere week. The only weak point we have left behind is the Central 46, which is now filled with corpses, but, as the group making decisions for Seireitei, access is highly restricted, so it's impossible for her to get in there."
On a side note, the only reason Aizen could enter it so easily and kill everyone without any outsiders noticing was due to his outrageous ability to control the five senses of everyone that has seen his Shikai release.
Meanwhile, at Division 13, a single woman with long black hair and almost white eyes was diligently swinging a Zanpakuto up and down. Clearly, she was immersed in her training.
"Oh, you are as diligent as ever. You really aiming for that third-seat position, aren't you?"
The woman twitched slightly when she heard someone talking to her, and as soon as she realized who it was, a kind smile appeared on her face as she bowed lightly.
"That's only natural, Captain Ukitake. It's only a question of time before I get the Lieutenant position!"
Hearing the woman claim, the man, Captain Ukitake, couldn't help but laugh in a happy tone.
"Hahaha, a commendable attitude. I'm looking forward to your achievements."
"Thank you very much!"
After this small exchange, Ukitake left, leaving the woman to her training and her own thoughts.
'As expected, choosing the 13 Division was the right choice. Considering what will happen in the future, this should be the safest path to choose.'
While these thoughts passed her mind, she continued swinging her sword while being careful not to swing hit too fast.
'Haa~ Seriously, what did I do to be caught in this mess? My first life ended abruptly, so I was rather happy to get a second one, but why the hell am I at my third life now? My second life ended happily, okay? I peacefully died of old age surrounded by my children and grandchildren, so why do I have to go for another run!? *Sigh* I wonder if my wife at least managed to have a peaceful afterlife.'
Just like that, the woman continued swinging her sword at a measured pace while internally chanting a few words after every swing.
'Don't notice me, Aizen. Don't notice me, Yhwach. Don't notice me, Aizen. Don't notice me, Yhwach. Don't notice me, Aizen. Don't notice me, Yhwach.'

Chapter 20: Fighting two Lieutenants

'What is her Zanpakuto's ability? Is it just to change its weight? Have I really encountered an enemy that perfectly counters my ability? No, there is something of about this! She uses the change in weight too clumsily and randomly.' While Kira had an internal dialogue, Yuna had her own inner dialogue, 'Ohh~ This is pretty interesting.' Gah~ Wanna do more! Boring! The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.'Hahaha, well, it can't be helped, Chaos. You are still young, after all.' Soon, something new *Gah*! *Sigh* I don't think there is anyone else in existence who can make use of such an outrageous ability. 'That's right; I'm that awesome~' Meanwhile, in the outside world, the fight was in a bit of a lull, as Matsumoto and Kiba were standing next to each other while breathing heavily, and Yuna was busy ogling Matsumoto's cleavage that she so graciously displayed and was now covered with a thin sweat film, while her breasts were moving up and down due to the heavy breathing. 'Such a nice view~' *Gah* Big tiddies! Big tiddies! Meanwhile, Kira managed to catch his breath and glared at Yuna. "Your Zanpakuto's ability allows you to freely change the weight of your sword, right? Shit, to think I would encounter the perfect counter to my sword." "Yeah, I noticed you staring." "Wasn't trying to hide it." "I noticed that as well. Personally, I don't mind, but are you always acting so outrageous?" Yuna wagged her finger at her before she resumed talking with a smug voice. "It's only outrageous when the other party thinks it is. Considering your deep cleavage, you clearly use your assets as an additional tool to distract your enemies, so it would be weird for you to hate when I do what you want me to do." As soon as Yuna finished speaking, Matsumoto's steps halted as she looked at Yuna in disbelief. "Wait a moment, are you actually smart? Yuna couldn't help but chuckle in amusement when she heard Matsumoto's question, while a slight blush appeared on Matsumoto's face as she realized that that question was rather rude. "Sorry, I..." "No need to be sorry. I'm fully aware of the way I act and how people perceive it. Oh, and don't get me wrong, that battle-hungry face I showed you wasn't a facade. I DO love to fight." Seeing that Yuna wasn't angry, Matsumoto sighed in relief while a relaxed smile appeared on her face. However, a few moments later, she realized something else and couldn't help but chuckle a little, causing Yuna's eyebrows to rise. "What's up?" "Hehe, nothing, it's just that no one ever told me they 'can't wait to sink their face into my breasts', so I couldn't help but chuckle at the boldness." "WHAT!? That's outrageous! How is it possible that no one ever told you that? Are all men in Seireitei eunuchs?" "Rather than eunuchs, I think they simply have enough common sense not to say that to a woman they have just met." "That's common sense?" "Yup." "As expected, that shit is totally useless." Hearing Yuna's words, Matsumoto could only chuckle in amusement. Meanwhile, in another part of Seireitei, a kind-looking man with ruffled brown hair was patiently waiting for a certain group to appear in Seireitei. He had noticed a temporal fluctuation within the zone between the two worlds and had calculated where and when Ichigo's group would arrive in Soul Society. Considering he was the only one that knew that people would be coming, he was confident that no one else had noticed. A few minutes later, a young man with a treacherous facial expression entered the room. "Captain Aizen, it seems intruders have appeared." Aizen's eyes widened slightly, as he had not predicted for people to be here already. Did he miscalculate? Or maybe, not everyone was caught up in the fluctuation. "Please tell me what happened, Gin." Instead of answering, Gin took a piece of paper and showed it to Aizen. On the paper was a photo of the current state of Seireitei's outer wall, fully revealing the damage Yuna's bolder had done, causing Aizen's eyebrows to twitch briefly. "Well, that certainly is one way to get into Seireitei, but who came up with such a crude method? There is no way Urahara Kitsuke would allow something like this, and neither would Yoruichi Shihoin. Who is the intruder?" Hearing Aizen's question, an awkward expression appeared on Gin's face. They had spy cameras all over Seireitei, but somehow that intruder managed to dodge all of them. "Unfortunately, we don't know that yet. We neither know who it is and not even how many there are. I'm not sure what is going on, but whoever got into Seireitei either knows it like the back of their hands or is an absolute master of stealth." Hearing Gin's explanation, Aizen briefly pondered the situation, and after around a minute, he opened them again while a small smirk appeared on his face. "Or both. I see; Yoruichi Shihoin has taken it upon herself to scout the situation beforehand. She used a crude method of entry to draw more attention to the gate, to distract the people to make it easier for her to roam the inner city. It's not a method the Yoruichi Shihoin I know would use, but it has been a while, so who knows? Personally, that is the only theory I can come up with right now." Hearing Aizen's words, Gin nodded in agreement. He had come to the same conclusion, as, in his opinion, only a previous member of Seireitei's Stealth Force could infiltrate the city so flawlessly. "Would you like me to do something to counter her actions?" Hearing Gin's question, Aizen briefly fell silent as he pondered what kind of ramification her presence could have, but after thinking about it for long enough, he simply shook his head. "She can scout however much she wants; she won't find anything of significance. We have been hiding out moves from all of Seireitei for decades now; there is no way a single person can unmask us in a mere week. The only weak point we have left behind is the Central 46, which is now filled with corpses, but, as the group making decisions for Seireitei, access is highly restricted, so it's impossible for her to get in there." On a side note, the only reason Aizen could enter it so easily and kill everyone without any outsiders noticing was due to his outrageous ability to control the five senses of everyone that has seen his Shikai release. Meanwhile, at Division 13, a single woman with long black hair and almost white eyes was diligently swinging a Zanpakuto up and down. Clearly, she was immersed in her training. "Oh, you are as diligent as ever. You really aiming for that third-seat position, aren't you?" The woman twitched slightly when she heard someone talking to her, and as soon as she realized who it was, a kind smile appeared on her face as she bowed lightly. "That's only natural, Captain Ukitake. It's only a question of time before I get the Lieutenant position!" Hearing the woman claim, the man, Captain Ukitake, couldn't help but laugh in a happy tone. "Hahaha, a commendable attitude. I'm looking forward to your achievements." "Thank you very much!" After this small exchange, Ukitake left, leaving the woman to her training and her own thoughts. 'As expected, choosing the 13 Division was the right choice. Considering what will happen in the future, this should be the safest path to choose.' While these thoughts passed her mind, she continued swinging her sword while being careful not to swing hit too fast. 'Haa~ Seriously, what did I do to be caught in this mess? My first life ended abruptly, so I was rather happy to get a second one, but why the hell am I at my third life now? My second life ended happily, okay? I peacefully died of old age surrounded by my children and grandchildren, so why do I have to go for another run!? *Sigh* I wonder if my wife at least managed to have a peaceful afterlife.' Just like that, the woman continued swinging her sword at a measured pace while internally chanting a few words after every swing. 'Don't notice me, Aizen. Don't notice me, Yhwach. Don't notice me, Aizen. Don't notice me, Yhwach. Don't notice me, Aizen. Don't notice me, Yhwach.'
