Chapter 10: old friend, new enemy
(OPENING: Leader – Warrior Inside)
ABANDONED MATSUKURA HOSPITAL – KARAKURA TOWN - EARLY AFTERNOON
Ashido, Naibu, and Shinji walked presumably trimerous towards the building, along with their comrades, each one of them holding their weapons in their hands, ready to face the enemy which awaits them around this place.
„so it's that building, I see" Hiyori suddenly spoke.
„you were here once? " Ashido asked since despite being around the mortal world, he rarely visited Karakura town despite its position as the current largest 'Jureichi', making the city rather unfamiliar to Ashido, especially since Karakura town changed a lot from the times he visited it around the last century and a few decades.
„yeah, an episode of 'Cazh Souls' was broadcasted around a few weeks ago here."
„you mean that 'Medium' show with that 'Ghost Hunter with Dreadlocks'? I remember that Seireitou said he enjoys watching that, his name was 'Don' or something? " Naibu wondered.
„yeah, Don Kanonji, " Hiyori explained „because Don Kanonji amuses even me, I, Kisuke, and all the others went for his broadcast here, turns out he really can see Ghosts and Hollows as well. And what's more … " Hiyori continued explaining, „ … it was also here the first time we saw that Ichigo Kurosaki. "
„wait, so you all really saw him already ? " this surprised both Ashido and Naibu, to which Hiyori nodded.
„at first when we saw him, I thought he was just a fresh Newcomer, who has been sent down here from the soul society since that's still common practice for Shinigami-newcomers among the Gotei 13" Hiyori continued her explanation, „but after the Broadcast when we left for home, that idiot Shinji briefly made a comment about him, to which Urahara corrected him that he's a Human who recently became a 'substitute shinigami before disappearing, and of course I was mad at him for not telling us more about him. " Hiyori finished her explanation with a bored expression, probably because of Urahara.
„Anyway, since everyone should be in their position, let's get inside." Ashido said while he, Naibu, and Shinji entered the abandoned Hospital.
While Ashido and Naibu remained calm about the situation, Hiyori was slightly nervous, because he now couldn't feel anything at all. Was the enemy able to conceal their strong Reiatsu that much all along?
Adding from what she saw and what Ashido and Urahara said during their walk, both enemies' leaders were wearing black cloaks which highly resembled those which Urahara used when they left the soul society 100 years ago for their sake.
And hearing that those cloaks were able to conceal even stronger Reiatsus like the Visored's Gigais, means only one thing
'they know we outnumber them, that's why they play hide and seek with us'.
Right now, the three are seeing the stairs which lead to the next floor up.
„WATCH OUT" Ashido shouted which made the three look behind them.
a glowing energy-like sphere was aiming towards them with an incredible speed, was aiming towards them, Hiyori in particular.
Luckily, Ashido can block it with his Zanpakuto, saving Hiyori.
„a Cero? " Naibu asked, ready to activate his Einhander.
„no, Bala, it's faster but weaker than a Cero." Ashido corrected him.
The three still looked towards the direction from where the 'Bala' came from.
Suddenly, they've heard rather loud footsteps, as if it's done on purpose.
„it's coming from the stairs." Naibu commented.
Hiyori, who has a very angry expression on her face right now, put out her own Zanpakutos, ready to face the enemy.
„We have no time for this stupid child's play." Hiyori said angrily while using Shunpo, teleporting towards the stairs.
And in actuality, Hiyori did saw someone with a black cloak for a small moment, on the stairs, before said person presumably used shunpo to teleport to went up the floors, to which Hiyori immediately followed, not wanting to lose to that suspicious person.
Ashido and Naibu of course came along, not wanting to put Hiyori in possible danger, since those black-cloaked individuals seemed a much larger danger for someone like Hiyori.
MEANWHILE –STREETS OF KARAKURA TOWN – EARLY AFTERNOON
Shiyo, Matsuri, and the two Fujimarus were running towards their comrades, following their Reiatsu.
Matsuri was at first against secretly following Ashido, Shinji, and the others since that means that they would disobey orders, but when Namikaze reminded them that not only Shinji isn't their superior anymore but that they might also kill some hollows on the way they might have missed, made Matsuri finally agree to come along.
Of course, to not be found and stopped by them, they waited for some minutes before they can finally go.
While secretly following them, Matsuri noticed how Namikaze was secretly watching Fujimaru with a serious expression, the same expression when he introduces himself in front of them.
At first, she thought it was some coincidence, maybe he was concerned about something else when he introduced himself, but now seeing that Namikaze watched her twin brother again with the same serious expression as if he doesn't like him or that, she somehow neither liked nor couldn't understand it. Matsuri needed to change the subject.
„You know … " Matsuri started speaking to the group of four, „when I and Ashido were dealing with the hollows at the middle school, he mentioned that we've been watched since those hollows appeared, what's more, those hollows weren't even going berserk like hollows usually do, to which Ashido concluded that they must be controlled by someone from behind." Matsuri stated.
„Now that I think about it when I arrived with Shinji at our hotspot, I saw that those hollows really weren't on a rampage as well, they weren't moving at all until I've arrived, which was really strange, to be honest" her twin brother confirmed
„well, my case was even stranger" Namikaze stated, „when I and Naibu-sensei fought against the hollows in the Park, we saw how a young girl has been kept hostage by hollows." he added.
This made the other three looks even more curious, especially Matsuri.
„After we introduced ourselves to her, she said her name is Yuzu Kurosaki, and from what she explained to us, she and her siblings are obviously 'high-spec' Humans." Namikaze explained.
„Did you just said 'Kurosaki'? " Matsuri asked in disbelief, which made Namikaze to turn around, nodding.
It was at this moment where the whole group decided to stay so that they can discuss the whole situation.
„at the middle school where I and Ashido went, there was also a girl, who's been held hostages by two hollows." Matsuri started while looking towards Shiyo and her twin brother, „it's the same girl who saw us while she and her friends were playing that ball game, remember." Matsuri explained.
„yes." Fujimaru said, „so she was a hostage as well ? " he wondered.
„not only that, but her name is Karin Kurosaki." Matsuri confirmed.
„ „ „WHAT? " " " Shiyo and the two Fujimarus wondered in disbelief.
„so, does that mean that the enemy is targeting Ichigo Kurosaki as well ?" Namikaze asked the group.
„so you've been told about him as well, Namikaze-san ?" Matsuri wondered, to which Namikaze nodded.
„After we parted ways with Yuzu, Naibu-sensei explained to me about everything that's going on, like that you three are from a lower noble Family of the soul society, " Namikaze stated while he pressed his both hands into a fist unnoticed by the three youngsters.
„After that, Naibu-sensei started explaining about Yuzu's older brother, Ichigo Kurosaki, and that he became a Substitute Shinigami, what's more, he even challenged a Quincy named Uryu Ishida, which caused a large mass of hollows, like today, to appear around two weeks ago. And After both of them presumably buried the hatchet, they went for the soul society, together with two more 'high-spec' humans" he finished explaining.
„So Urahara wasn't kidding about that, damn … " Fujimaru said, „the more I hear about this Ichigo Kurosaki, the more crazier everything gets. I wonder what else he has done so that the enemy even bothers to capture his sisters? "
Namikaze wondered the same as his namesake, but then he remembered about that strange lion-plushy and of course that strange feeling he had when Yuzu has touched his hand.
„If I may ask, how much did they tell you about the current situation anyway?" Namikaze asked the three if they might have more information to share.
„Well … " Fujimaru stated, „before we went for the Human world, Kawahiru-sama told us that the Arrancar, hollows which gained Shinigami like powers, are on the rise, what's more, that there are even traitorous Shinigami's being involved as well, like Bansui Amatsuki" Fujimaru added while his namesake pressed his eyes along his two hands.
„and I think I saw one of them." Matsuri stated, which made the others giving her attention immediately, „After Ashido and I saved the girl and finished the hollows off, we saw how a cloaked person appeared out of a nearby tree." Matsuri stated which made everyone even more attentive.
„not only I was surprised how we didn't even realize him sooner, but when that cloaked person snapped with his fingers, a pair of hollows started attacking us as if he gave them orders to do so. And as if that wasn't strange enough … " Matsuri stated, „that cloaked person even seemed somehow familiar." she added.
„familiar? How do you mean that, Matsu-nee? " Fujimaru asked her. Meanwhile, Namikaze became very attentive, remembering what Naibu told him about the twins in front of him, making him somehow rather angry inside his mind.
„I don't know" Matsuri stated, „but now that I think about it, I believe Ashido and Shinji know something, something they didn't tell us."
„After I finished the hollows with Tessai-sensei, I saw how he looked behind us, with a concerned expression as if he saw that someone is watching us. When I asked him, he remained silent before saying that it was nothing." Shiyo explained
„ and after Ashido and Shinji pointed out that the current Enemies might be Visoreds as well, they all strangely wanted us four to stay at the shop." Fujimaru pointed out
„maybe they want to solve this among themselves, right? " Matsuri suggested.
„But even if that's the case, as I said before, that is actually still a bad decision, strategically speaking" Fujimaru reminded everyone again.
„So, to summarize … " Namikaze stated, „the enemy, who has been watching us, who's eighter an Arrancar or a Visored, is not only targeting us but also Ichigo Kurosaki's sisters as well? , and for what purpose exactly? "
„I have no clue, but … " Matsuri said before looking towards Namikaze with a serious expression „But I have a question to you, Namikaze-san, and please, I want you to be honest with us. "
„what is it." Namikaze blinked, wondered what Matsuri was about to ask him.
Matsuri breathed before she started her question,
„do you have a problem with my brother ?" she finally asked.
Now there was silence among the group.
„I noticed it you know … " Matsuri started with a concerned expression, „ that you looked towards my brother as if you don't want him to be near you."
Not only her twin brother and Shiyo, but also Namikaze himself was shocked as well, not only was it true what Matsuri said, but also he was too focused on his namesake that he didn't notice Matsuri noticing his stares towards her twin brother.
„ if possible … let me first ask you three a question of my own first … " Namikaze stated, to which the three nodded.
„ Is it true that Ashido, Shinji, and Kawahriu-dono explained to you about what happened during the 200 years you were gone? " Namikaze asked them how much the Leader of the Visoreds told them since according to his sensei, they were taught about the basics of this time period.
FLASHBACK – AFTER NAIBU AND NAMIKAZE SAVED YUZU
Namikaze actually wanted to be much more direct, but his sensei forbid him to talk about that matter, since 'it's not our concern' to reveal that in front of them. Even though he didn't show it openly, Namikaze was very angry because of that order since from Namikaze's POV it was his concern as well, which Naibu of course understood, but he remembered how his sensei told him that.
„The three have just woken up and that they should be given time to process their thoughts in this new era if you're going to tell them about 'that', not only the most likely won't believe it, but they'll be very likely angry with you as well if you understand" Naibu stated towards his previous pupil, „I can see that you're not agreeing with me, but believe me when I say that the three shouldn't be made responsible for what happened." were the words Namikaze remembered.
END OF FLASHBACK
The three meanwhile were confused at first, of course, did Seireitou explained about the rising Arrancar threat and how they became Visoreds. But then the three realized, remembering what Namikaze and Naibu are, what he's most likely referring to.
„the Quincy-massacre … " Fujimaru stated, „ …. is it about that ?" he asked his namesake, this time however as tactful as possible since even he realized that it's understandable that he most likely has a grudge against Shinigami because of that event.
„Kawahiru-sama explained to us that because of a Quincy-Organisation called the 'Imawashi' the soul society ordered to kill the Quincies, vulnerable women and their children included and that he was the only one openly against that order. And because of that, he secretly tried to save as many of them as possible from being killed by the other shinigami." Shiyo now explained sincerely but seriously as well from what she remembered.
Namikaze meanwhile was in very fearful and negative thoughts since very bad memories of his past seem to return because of how Shiyo explained it.
„Even though I'm indeed thankful for Kawahiru-dono and the Visoreds, unfortunately … " Namikaze breathed before he continued, „ my family on the other hand didn't have any luck. " Namikaze stated with a serious expression, which of course shocked all three of them.
„I'm sorry to hear that" Matsuri stated sadly.
„don't be, after all … " Namikaze stated coldly, „you three were just lucky enough to disappear before all that happened, anyway, now that we understand each other, let's focus again on our task." he added, trying to end the conversation for now since there's a rather strong enemy ahead.
While the group of the now four youngsters thought about their next move, there was someone, hiding behind a wall, who watched them from far away.
„what's that ? " the person, who wore a Shinigami's shihakusho and a Farmer's hat as well, wondered.
He grinned then, „well well, seems that leaving Kagamino City to investigate here was indeed the right decision." he commented while looking towards the two individuals who also wore each a shinigami shihakusho, and the other two youngsters, all of them having rather high Reiatsu.
ABANDONED MATSUKURA HOSPITAL ROOFTOP – KARAKURA TOWN – EARLY AFTERNOON
When both reached the rooftop, where they felt Hiyori's reiatsu, Ashido and Naibu saw two black-cloaked individuals in front of them, whom face was hidden by their cloak's hood.
Hiyori was about to attack those two with her Zanpakuto until she felt someone holding her hand.
„ Don't … " Ashido spoke to her in a calm voice.
Hiyori became angry towards Ashido for stopping her, but as soon as she looked towards him, Hiyori saw that Ashido's looked more serious than usual, calming Hiyori down slightly.
„ You'll be more than sorry if they escape from us, you understand. I don't care if you're our Kyodai or not right now" Hiyori commented, knowing that Ashido stopped her because they seemed for him much stronger than her.
„Understandable" was Ashido's only answer before he went for those two individuals along with Naibu.
Right now, Ashido and Naibu were facing the two black-cloaked individuals.
One of them then lifted his cloak, a strange-looking cane with a skull head on its top could be seen on his both arms slightly. That Person then bumped the cane again on the roof's ground, causing a loud sound, which then resulted in loud growlings to be heard in response.
After some seconds, a horde of winged hollows, the likes they already dealt with before, appeared again.
Despite their large numbers, Ashido, Naibu, and Hiyori remained calm.
When the winged hollows were aiming for them, all of them were suddenly slain out of nowhere, causing for them to be all erased.
When the two cloaked men looked up, they saw the other Visoreds on the air, each with their Zanpakutos on their hands.
Among them, Shinji, Lisa, and Kensei were especially attentive since they've seen each of those two already today.
„As she already said" Ashido started speaking towards the enemy while putting his left hand on Hiyori's shoulder, „we don't have time for child's play, last chance, surrender !" Ashido offered in a strict voice, despite their possible refusal.
One of the cloaked persons then turned its head towards his cloaked partner.
„didn't expect for him to ever talk big like that" one of them said with an older sounding voice, to which Hiyori, Lisa, and Hachigen realized it was the same she already encountered with Urahara and the Others in the Children Park.
„No wonder … " the other one spoke, „since he's now in a position to afford such behavior. Something none of us could really afford in the soul society back then " the other voice spoke.
„Strange, but true, I admit." the one with the older Voice spoke before.
Both of them then lifted each their left hand, stretching each both their forefinger and middle finger.
Then, their black cloaks began to glow in dark yellow before disappearing entirely, revealing their true appearances.
The first one is an elderly man with a dark purple goatee and dark purple hair, which has a white streak going through the center. He wears a white kimono with a dark purple hakama, a black sash and a black vest, which vaguely resembles a captain's haori, and brown boots.
The other one is a middle-aged man with dark red hair that is parted down the middle with one stray bang on the left side of his face. Similar to his partner, he also wore a white Kimono, a black sash, and a black vest, but his Hakama's color is White as well as his black tabi and white zōri, and his sash also kept a Katana around his waist.
Except for the female Visoreds, everyone's eyes opened wide in disbelief, especially Shinji's.
There was a silence before the dark red-haired man spoke.
„ It's been a while, Everyone. " the dark red-haired man spoke coldly, looking at all the present Visoreds, and Naibu. „it is truly unfortunate that we have met like this".
Shinji, still not believing that his previous Taichou is staying in front of him, then made an angry expression.
„Is-" Shinji couldn't pronounce clearly at first because of the unbelievable sight in front of him, „Is it really you, Taichou? "
„Hachi, Who's that ?" Lisa asked curiously, seeing that the red-haired man seemed familiar to most of her comrades.
„These two men right there are Seigen Suzunami, the previous Captain of the 5th Division right before Shinji was in that position, and the other man is Bansui Amatsuki, the previous Lieutenant of the 12th Division, which means Hiyori's predecessor, what's more, he was also a mentor of Urahara-san himself. "
„wait, Suzunami? Isn't that … " Lisa wanted to finish her Question.
„Yes … " Rose spoke to Lisa „ he's the Uncle of Shiyo and the adoptive father of the twins." Rose finished his statement.
„Now I understand why Ashido didn't bring them along" Mashiro realized.
Naibu is also surprised to hear about Seigen Suzunami, but compare to the clueless female Visoreds, he already heard about Seigen Suzunami before.
'It's good that I ordered Fujimaru to stay back at the shop as well' Naibu thought while being slightly relieved.
Seigen then looked towards Shinji.„ Like yourself, I'm no longer a pathetic Shinigami, but it's still me underneath it all. " he explained.
„ 'still you' you say? Then why … " Shinji said angrily, „WHY ARE YOU WORKING UNDER AIZEN ?, WHAT HAS THAT A**FACE DONE TO YOU SO THAT YOU'RE NOW BOOTLICKING HIM ?" Shinji asked more angrier, still not really believing his previous Captain is staying in front of him as his enemy now.
Now, a small breeze could be heard and felt around the area.
„I'm not 'bootlicking' Aizen as you all wish to believe" Seigen explained before putting out his Zanpakuto „however I can't deny that we both have an agreement with him. " he added while referring to himself and Bansui as well.
„and I can only agree with his statement." Bansui said while grinning, meanwhile also lifted his Skull head-cane, which then changed its Shape into a Katana, or rather a Zanpakuto. Bansui then also took out his blade.
„and for us to adhere said agreement, we both need to eliminate all vermins which stay in our way, including all of you." Seigen explained before looking towards Shinji again, „let's see if you've all actually improved since the last time we called ourselves each other comrades ." were Seigen's final words before he went for Shinji.
Both, the previous Captain and his previous Lieutenant, clashed with their Zanpakutos many times.
'he's indeed stronger than back then.' Shinji and Seigen thought while seeing into each other's eyes.
But then, Seigen used Shunpo, teleporting behind Shinji with an unbelievable speed.
Seigen was about to hit Shinji on his back, but then Ashido appeared between Shinji and Seigen, blocking the latter's attempt to stab Shinji.
Bansui, who saw an opportunity to make a finishing stroke, then run towards Shinji, only for him to be stopped by Naibu with his 'Einhander'.
„interesting, so this is the so-called 'Einhander' which Rudolph Leister has successfully created." Bansui said while grinning at the blue-glowing blade.
Naibu on the other hand remained calm and silent, not caring what his enemy is talking about, but relieved that he didn't bring his pupil along for obvious reasons. He also just continued using his blade to hit Bansui, who unfortunately blocked every hit of Naibu's 'Einhander'.
Meanwhile, both Ashido and Shinji continued attacking Seigen with their blades, without true success.
Seigen, realizing that fighting those two only is is rather time-wasting for his current mission, used Shunpo again.
At first, Shinji wondered where Seigen disappeared this time, looking behind him again, but then immediately looked in front of him.
„HIYORI ! " Shinji shouted, hoping that she'll react and getaway right now.
But to his and Hiyori's shock, Seigen appeared directly in front of her, making her feel paralyzed out of fear when Seigen used his blade to aim at her neck.
It was at this moment that Seigen used Shunpo again before Kensei could hit him, making Kensei now staying in front of Hiyori.
Right now, Shinji couldn't do anything but to stay still. How couldn't he act accordingly? Was it because of his previous Captain? Ashido already confirmed that he betrayed them long ago. But Shinji just couldn't accept it.
„Shinji" Ashido called his ally out of concern. „ I know what you're probably thinking right now, but don't forget that he's now our enemy."
Now Shinji pressed his teeth, knowing that's the truth, „seems we have no other choice, thank you for not bringing them along" Shinji said while referring to the twins and Shiyo.
Seigen has now appeared in the sky, what's more, he saw how Love and Rose were attacking him with their Zanpkatutos. The three now were also clashing many times with their blades.
Naibu also had difficulties on his own fighting against Bansui. No wonder, since from what he had heard, Bansui is famous even among the Ankoite as Naibu recalled.
Bansui and Naibu were about to clash again, until Bansui saw an on blog blast of purple energy aiming towards him, making him use Shunpo, also teleporting in the sky while seeing how the purple energy exploded in the air.
Naibu then realized that this was a Kido-spell, and looking from where it came from, seeing it has been performed by Hachigian.
Now in the sky, Bansui was approached by Mashiro's kick and Lisa's Zanpakuto.
„you alright, Hiyori? " Kensei asked fast towards his comrade since Hiyori's still seemed paralyzed while Shinji and Ashido came towards her.
Hiyori, who just came back to normal, made an angry Expression, holding her Zanpakuto ready.
„Shinji, Ashido … " Hiyori said rather quietly, but anger could be felt by her voice.
What's more, now some white substance seemed to be collected around her head, resulting in a hollow mask with a horn centered on the forehead and a row of diamond-shaped markings over the mask's eyebrows to be formed.
„ While I take on that old dude along with the girls, will you kindly take on that other dude, I don't care if he was your Captain or not. "
„ you're right, Hiyori" Kensei answered, knowing that both Ashido and Shinji were somehow reluctant to answer.
(soundtrack: Extended: Magi: the Labyrinth of Magic – Enfin Aparu)
Hiyori, her Zanpakuto on her right hand, then went towards Bansui, who was still busy clashing with Mashiro and Lisa.
Bansui, who noticed the little blond girl coming, blocked with his own Zanpakuto, clashing with Hiyori's.
„nice mask you have, brat" Bansui spoke, „so you're the one Kirio has chosen as my successor. " he added, which Hiyori felt rather insulted, making her sword hits even harder.
„I won't allow anyone to insult 'oka-san' like that, you hear me 'goatee' ?"
„a sassy one, I see, " Bansui said while grinning, „Kirio must have really spoiled you with her cooking." he added.
„BASTARD ! " the masked blonde Visored-girl shouted at her opponent even louder, getting even more aggressive with her sword hits, which were all blocked by Bansui effortlessly.
While Shinji joined Love and Rose, who also mostly struggled against Seigen, Naibu joined the female Visoreds against Bansui, making now everyone fighting against the enemy.
Ashido and Kensei went first towards Hachigen, telling him something which made Hachi's eyes stretching slightly before they both joined Shinji's team as well.
ABANDONED MATSUKURA HOSPITAL ROOFTOP – KARAKURA TOWN – EARLY AFTERNOON – NAIBU'S TEAM VS BANSUI
Naibu, now using his 'Ankoite-Cross'-Pendant, went straight on towards Bansui again, this time however he used "Scheibe", a Hirenkyaku technique that allows him to manifest a platform of Reishi beneath his feet, making him more like hovering in the air rather than walking in the air, like his fellow Visored peers.
Mashiro and Lisa meanwhile also activated their Hollow masks after realizing that they won't defeat Bansui without them. While Mashiro's mask had the shape of a bee or hornet, Lisa's looked rather like that of the 'Lozenge/Diamond'-Symbol from the known poker card set, along with a cross-shaped opening for Lisa to see through the Mask.
While Hiyori is still angrily hitting Bansui, supported by Lisa and Mashiro, Naibu himself used his 'Toten Pfeil'-Reishi Arrows from the Distance, making it impossible for Bansui to escape.
While the Visoreds expected for the old man to be afraid, the opposite is the case: Bansui seemed to somehow enjoy the fight as if playing with children which were in some way the case considering the female Visoreds' age and the age of Bansui himself, despite that Hiyori has put on her Hollow mask. What's more, Bansui even looked towards Seigen, probably wondering how his fellow partner deals with his current opponents. He then looked towards Hachigen if he's performing another Kido-spell against him, but seeing that Hachigen is presumably more focused on Seigen's fight, made Bansui feel less concerned.
Then, Bansui suddenly stopped.
„I've to admit, your three's hollow powers aren't bad at all, even though Aizen referred to you as 'failures'. " Bansui stated, „I would really wish to continue playing with you youngsters, but I'm afraid Seigen and I are running out of time." Bansui confirmed while stretching his right hand with his Zanpakuto's blade pointing vertically towards the sky.
„decide the verdict" Bansui called, „Rosutowanzu" Bansui shouted, releasing his Zanpakuto's Shikai.
A slight reiatsu shockwave could be felt while Bansui's Zanpakuto's changed its shape from a usual Katana into that of a Scythe without grips. While the Scythe's Chine is black colored, it's Snath's color is purple, fitting Bansui's clothes of choice.
After a slight moment, Hiyori was about to attack Bansui again, until she and her fellow Visored comrades saw a Reishi-Arrow flying towards Bansui, who blocked and destroyed it with his Rosutowanzu without much effort.
„wait. "Naibu, who meanwhile appeared on Hiyori's right side, spoke towards the young blonde Visored, holding her right hand with his left hand, while Naibu used his 'Einhander' on his own right hand before also looking towards Lisa and Mashiro if they were also about to attack Bansui.
„you can't order me around." Hiyori shouted angrily with her Hollow mask, wondering who Naibu thinks he is to act superior towards her since he isn't a Visored, despite knowing that he's respected by the others. It doesn't mean she has to show respect to anyone just because someone is stronger
„But I also can't afford for us all to be easy targets eighter " was Naibu's reply while still facing Bansui and his released Shikai, „which is now even more likely than before."
(end of soundtrack)
Bansui himself meanwhile slowly lifted his Rosutowanzu before using Shunpo, disappearing. Naibu and the female Visoreds took immediately a defensive position, but didn't saw or felt Bansui coming for any of them. It was at this moment when they've felt a loud slice behind them, which made them turn around.
