I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

There are some strange things in the present world's Hollows. Even Byakuya wouldn't believe it if Aizen hadn't sent them there. It seems Aizen couldn't hold back any longer, and his plan will most likely begin soon.

Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly test the strength and everything else of everyone in Soul Society.

This seems to fit Aizen's personality quite well.

I'll lead the team myself, and then I'll assign one or two Hollows or some random guys to this squad.

If he is weak, Aizen will not worry and will arrange for the Hollow to kill him. If he is strong, Aizen will start another plan against him.

To be honest, I really am going to have to meet Aizen.

"So, Sister Hua, you came to me just to talk about this? Why didn't you just say it at the team barracks?"

After realizing this, Bai Ye did not run away.

He knew very well that he couldn't escape this time.

Actually, it wasn't just Aizen; everyone else probably wanted to see their own strength. Perhaps the old man had the same thought. Since graduating, Byakuya had never made a move and had always been the vice-captain.

Although the Fourth Division is not a combat division, since he is the vice-captain, his strength cannot be weak to a certain extent.

You guessed it, didn't you?

Retsu Unohana glanced at Byakuya's expression and understood that Byakuya most likely knew what she meant.

"kindness."

"So, I'm not just here to tell you this, but also because I don't want my vice-captain to die on this mission." With that, Retsu Unohana looked intently at Byakuya: "So let me test your strength!"

She hadn't made a move in a long time. Originally, she planned to avoid making a move if possible, but the incident with Byakuya made Retsu Unohana realize that she needed to understand Byakuya's strength.

She didn't have any strength requirements for her own squad members, but this time, Baiye was going to go out on a mission with her, so she had to test them. Even if the others didn't have strength requirements, Unohana Retsu at least had a general idea of ​​what they were capable of, but Baiye herself knew nothing.

"Should I feel honored?"

A bitter smile flashed across Bai Ye's face. He hadn't expected that his first opponent would be the first Kenpachi.

Can I really avoid fighting?

Just as Byakuya was about to say those words, he saw that Unohana Retsu had already drawn his Zanpakuto.

"No one will come here, so let me test you!"

"."

It seems there's no way to avoid it.

"You go first."

Once in battle mode, Retsu Unohana seemed like a completely different person, and her tone was no longer as gentle as before.

"Then I won't be polite!"

After saying that, Byakuya's Zanpakuto slashed directly at Unohana Retsu.

"The power is good, and the speed is also very fast. It seems that you have put a lot of effort into the cutting technique."

Slash the fist and walk the ghost.

These are the four most basic abilities of the Grim Reaper.

Whether it's Shunpo (Instant Step) or a slash, Retsu Unohana feels that Byakuya has practiced them quite well.

but

They are nothing compared to the legendary geniuses who were once hailed as geniuses!

Retsu Unohana frowned, feeling that Byakuya's strength shouldn't be limited to this.

The repeated attacks gave her the impression that Bai Ye's strength was at the vice-captain level.

"Sister Hua, I feel like I've almost reached my limit!"

After saying that, Bai Ye estimated in his mind that he had probably revealed the strength of a vice-captain.

He needs to survive!

You must never reveal your true strength and abilities.

"Use the power of your Zanpakuto, shall we?"

Unohana Retsu nodded and didn't pursue the matter further. Although Byakuya felt somewhat guilty about the rumors from back then, she didn't say much, since he was strong enough.

Let's see what Byakuya's Zanpakuto's abilities are before we talk about it.

“Okay, Sister Hana, my Zanpakuto is a lightning-type Zanpakuto, so I can control lightning.”

Is it lightning-related?

"Shine, thunder!"

After using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power, Byakuya unexpectedly discovered that there were actually three lurking bastards hiding here!

What the hell!

Sister Hua, didn't you say there was no one there?

He wouldn't have noticed if he hadn't been thinking about activating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and using his Observation Haki as his Zanpakuto ability.

However, since those three guys were watching from here, Bai Ye didn't mind letting them think that his Zanpakuto's ability was lightning-based.

Anyway, he had planned from the beginning to expose this ability.

As for his other abilities, he will keep them hidden for the time being.

And damn it, he had been thinking that if Aizen invited him in the future, he would at least try to contact him.

Unexpectedly, after I left the Fourth Division with Retsu Unohana, those three sneaky guys followed me here.

Lightning snakes flashed on the Zanpakuto, and the destructive aura it exuded piqued Retsu Unohana's interest.

"Is your Zanpakuto similar to Toshiro's?"

"Yes, but the abilities are slightly different."

"Then I'll be more serious from now on!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Sister Hua, are you trying to kill me?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bai Ye's body was cleaved in two by Unohana Retsu.

Bai Ye, who was originally in a split state, was still able to speak, which surprised her. She raised the knife in her hand and asked curiously, "I gave you time to react, but you didn't even try to dodge, so I just slashed down. But I'm still very confident in my strength."

During her previous battle with Bai Ye, she discovered Bai Ye's lightning-fast combat reflexes.

Therefore, Bai Ye was given time to react when he struck.

Bai Ye could have easily dodged if she wanted to, but she didn't, so she slashed down.

She can control her strength; if she really hurts Bai Ye, she will stop immediately.

In retrospect, it seems that Bai Ye was simply trying to demonstrate his abilities.

"So this is your ability?"

"That's right. My ability is that as long as I hold a thunderbolt, I can make it help me transform my body into an element, and anyone hit by the thunderbolt will be paralyzed. At the same time, I can control a small electric current to shock people."

The thunderclap will also give me a speed boost, but I must hold onto it. Once it's out of my grasp, I can't use this ability!

"Is that so?"

Retsu Unohana nodded, mentally assessing Byakuya's ability.

This Zanpakuto seems very powerful.

The ability to transform into elements is already quite impressive, and it also possesses the ability to enhance physical skills and lightning.

It's a bit of a shame that this knife needs to be held in your hand.

"Then it seems I don't need to worry about my vice-captain dying in this mission!"

Unohana Retsu was worried about Byakuya before, but now she doesn't have to worry anymore. At least this elemental transformation has given Byakuya the ability to save his life.

Moreover, Bai Ye wasn't carrying out the mission alone this time, nor was he part of the combat team.

"Let's go, I'll gather some herbs for you."

"Hey, hey, hey, Sister Hua, are you cursing me?"

As Bai Ye listened to Unohana Retsu's words, a dark line flashed in his eyes.

Good grief, what does this mean?

Does that mean I'll get injured this time when I go to the real world to carry out a mission?

"No, I really hope you can come back uninjured, Xiaobaiye. After all, I'd be very worried if you came back injured!"

What's troubling you?

"."

Hey!

You should say something!

Seeing that Unohana Retsu seemed to have no intention of continuing, Byakuya mentally complained.

on purpose!

Retsu Unohana did it on purpose!

And she previously said that she didn't care about what he said at all, but now it seems that she was deliberately retaliating for what she said before, right?

Moreover, that enigmatic smile... it's clear that the Sister Hua I used to know is no longer here, or rather, the Sister Hua in front of me seems to have never existed at all.

Shaking his head, Byakuya glanced casually in the direction of Aizen and the others before leaving with Unohana Retsu.

In any case, his abilities had already been 'exposed' to Aizen and the others.

What they do next is none of his business.

He was also curious whether Aizen would continue to take care of him after he had revealed his abilities and the extent of his threat.

After all, he was unaware of his own abilities before, and always thought he was very strong. But now that Bai Ye has said it all out loud, he probably won't think so anymore, right?

"Lord Aizen, he doesn't seem to be as strong as I thought."

After Byakuya and Unohana Retsu left, Aizen and the others did not choose to follow. Tosen glanced at the place where Byakuya and Unohana Retsu had fought. They had all seen Byakuya's abilities, though he could not see them, he could sense them.
