Tadashi sighed under his breath as the Head Captain and the other two Captains stood in front of him. The Head Captain wasn't portraying any emotion but the others were at least.

Captain Shunsui Kyoraku smiled, It's strange, he's been a Lieutenant for more than ninety years yet has been so powerful all this time. I can't wait to have a drink with him.

Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya frowned slighty, This is strange, has he been fakely his strength this whole time?

The four of them were outside, far away enough from Seireitei for Tadashi to unleash as much reiatsu as he could without impacting any weak shinigami. They were standing in the middle of a plain with nothing to hide them or anyone else. A lone tree was in the background but that was it. Tadashi smiled and then turned to see Shunsui stabbing a target doll just in front of the far away tree.

The Captain Commander spoke up, "Impressive Hakuda, now for Kido. Fire off your highest Kido."

Tadashi frowned and looked around the area. They were outside, far away from both Soul Society and Rukongai so he could go crazy with whatever he needed to.

"With a full incarnation I can use Senju Koten Taiho but do I really need to use something so destructive?"

"It is not my choice."

He sighed and turned to his target, "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man!" He threw his hands out in front of him, pulling back as a trail of reiatsu followed his middle and pointer fingers, "On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens."

Tadashi pointed both hands, with his left hand pressed against the back of his right hand, "Hado 73-Soren Sokatsui!"

A massive stream of blue reiatsu was fired towards the target, the power behind it was enough to force everyone's clothes to flutter. The kido hit the target, completely incinerating it and then the tree.

The attack died down and Tadashi panted for a second. He smiled at the look on Hitsugaya's face, he must've noticed because it was quickly gone.

"Good, now then, demonstrate your Bankai."

Matsuri was frowning as he looked at the report in front of him, it was something that should've been sent to the 12th Division really.

72 District-South Rukongai, 247 residents have been reported missing with no trace as to their whereabouts. Mihane Shirogane-Ninth Seat of Squad Sixth and a team consisting of three unseated officers was sent to investigate and has recovered several reiatsu trails leading towards the 78th District 'Hanging Dog'. Ninth Seath Shirogane has since reported that the trails end there and sent Unseated Officer Rikichi to invistigate 'Howling Wolf Forest' to the North of where the trail ends. He has since been missing and assumed incapitated or dead, request permission for a Captain or Lieutenant to invistage further.

Along the message was a detailed report of everywhere they searched, which members were there, a list of the missing residents, and the location where they lost the trails.

Matsuri sighed, "Interesting, I wouldn't mind be on that mission." She was brought out of her focus when he saw Captain Soifon walking out of the division.

Must be going to a meeting, it might be as to why we haven't seen Tadashi in a while, or to this report I just read. Well whatever the case it means a free day for us. And that only means one thing!

"Seems like I'm in charge for a while." Matsuri grinned, "Lee! Would you mind grabbing me some smoothies from the longue?" She leaned back and smiled, "I love abusing my limited power for smoothies."

Soifon frowned as she took a look around the room, noticing the absence of her Lieutenant behind her. Every Captain and Lieutenant of the Gotei 13 were standing in the Assembly Hall, minus Squad Three, Five, and Nine Captains and Squad Two Lieutenant.

"I'm sure everyone has gotten the report." Said Head Captain Yamamoto, "We have decided to send Two Captains and a Lieutenant to 'Howling Wolf Forest' to find and eliminate the threat."

Captain Sajin Komamura stepped forward, "I will go on this mission Head Captain."

The Head Captain shook his head, "Disallowed, I have already picked the Team Leader, if he is to pick you then so be it." He opened his right eye and looked towards the door, "You may come in now!"

The door opened slowly, a bright light filling the doorway and the room. A set of footsteps were heard and a few of the people in the room gasped. The door closed and everyone looked into the eyes of the newcomer. There he stood, his read hair now tied back in a ponytail, tan skin, and hazel eyes. He wore the regular shinigami garb but with the torn sleeves. He carried on his left hip a long zanpakuto with what appeared to be fur for a guard and a brown hilt with white diamonds and a black colored scabbard. Above his shinigami garb was a long sleeve white haori with the insignia of the Fifth Division on the back.

"Hello everybody! Fifth Squad Captain Tadashi Takeshi reporting for duty!"
