The three men stood with their mouths gaping at Shunsui who had just told them the news. The Head-Captain tilted his hat as he looked to the three shinigami and stated, "I don't think I need to tell you how critical this is."

The woman had long black hair that was pinned up, and light blue eyes with a deep hint of violet to them. She wore glasses with a slight oval shape to them, and the standard uniform. Her lieutenant badge was fastened to her left arm. There were also three men, one of them stood at 5'11 and had spikey black hair. He had three scars that went over his right eye, on his left cheek he had a tattoo of the number 69. In addition to this he wore a black choker around his neck and matching arm bands on both arms, attached to his left arm was the ninth division Lieutenant badge. His shihakusho was sleeveless. There was a blonde haired man who stood at 5'8, and wore the third squad lieutenant badge on his left arm. He wore a modified shihakusho with a white hood lined with small black dots, and currently that hood was up over his head. The shortest of them stood at five feet, even. He had dark hair and seemed to be quite youthful, almost having the appearance of a teenager.

"But there's many co-complications that could arise, sir. Without knowing why this happened, sending her to any living world would be risky," the shortest man objected, stuttering a little. He had medium length black hair and blue eyes, he was a bit lanky and not very muscular.

"I agree with Hanataro. Admittedly it's been a long time since I was in the fourth, however there's many risks to both mother and baby," a blonde haired man spoke. He bore the third squad lieutenant badge on his left arm. He wore a modified shihakusho with a white hood lined with small black dots, and currently that hood was up over his head.

"I know. That's why I'm sending one current high ranking member of the fourth divison and a former fourth division member who can double as a combat specialist and Nanao who is highly skilled in kido and kido techniques. Additionally I'll be sending someone else with you who is a strong fighter," Shunsui countered.

The ninth division lieutenant inquired, "Sir, who else will be accompanying us?"

"Lieutenant Renji Abari," Shunsui answered.

The other three men had mixed reactions, the tattooed man and the blonde were both smirking while the shorter man, Hanataro tensed at the idea. Renji was once a member of the eleventh divison and Hanataro had always been in the fourth division.

"Don't worry, Hanataro. I may not be in the fourth any longer but I won't tolerate bullying of any medical personal while on a mission," the blonde offered.

"Thank you, Lieutenant Kira," Hanataro replied. The ninth division lieutenant patted Hanataro's shoulder as he reminded him, "don't forget, you once risked your life to help Rukia. Renji wouldn't lay a hand on you, or let anyone near you."

"Uhh yeah, that's a good point Lieutenant Hisagi," Hanataro agreed. The taller man smiled at the shorter man before looking up to Shunsui.

"So it's basically going to be an all guy team except for Nanao," Hisagi concluded.

"Don't mistake me for timid," the woman stated as she straightened her oval glasses and pushed them up her nose as she concluded, "especially when my cousin is involved. If a fight does happen, and I'm not otherwise needed, I will give everything I have to that fight."

Kira smiled a little as he revealed, "I'd expect nothing less."

"I'll also be sending a few shinigami out to scout Rukongai. From what I understand, this man has expired in the world he originated from. As such, he may be in one of the districts," Shunsui concluded.

Hanataro blinked and proposed, "may I suggest then that Yumichika Ayasegawa, Momo Hinamori, Yoruichi Shihouin and Kisuke Urahara partake if possible? They've met him before—well uhh Yumichika and Lieutenant Hinamori not as much as Yoruichi and Kisuke."

"I'm aware of that, and that is precisely what I intend to do," the Head Captain replied as he took his seat and dismissed the men in attendance.

The three left the Head Captain's office and made their way out of the first division barracks. They noted that Nanao had stayed behind but given that she was the co-lieutenant of the first division, that wasn't too surprising.

Hisagi looked to Hanataro and asked, "So you met the guy?"

"Yes, during the recapture of Former Captain Aizen, Chiaki helped me with healing some of the Shinobi that Aizen had overwhelmed with reiatsu. It turns out that what the Shinobi use, Chakra, is pretty similar to Reiatsu, it even uses the same internal network," Hanataro revealed.

"Alright, but what does this guy look like? What's his personality like? You said you met him," Kira pressed.

"Ahh, right! His name is Neji Hyuga, he's one of the branch members of the Hyuga clan from the Hidden Leaf village. He's pretty loyal to his family and friends. His cousin Hinata was one of the ones affected by Aizen, as well as his friend Rock Lee. He never went more than five paces from either of them, especially Hinata. He's calm, intelligent, he has this ability that he inherited from his parents, and far back in his family history I guess… it was a umm—a – I forget what he called it," Hanataro rambled, laughing nervously towards the end.

He then added, "he had long dark brown hair, he was about an inch or two shorter than Lieutenant Kira, and what I remember most was his eyes. They were unique."

Hisagi raised a brow as he inquired, "how were they 'unique'?"

"They didn't have any colour to them. No pupils, nothing. They were just—white," Hanataro revealed.

"He had white eyes? It sounds like he was blind," Kira reasoned.

"Not at all, this guy used this uh hand to hand combat style that's unique to his clan, called 'gentle fist'. The reason it's unique to them is because they're the only ones that can properly use it, because they can see the internal chakra network of shinobi and as Neji found out hollows and Shinigami as well," Hanataro objected.

At this Kira's mouth gaped before he grasped Hanataro's wrist and flash stepped off with him. Hisagi blinked yet he headed towards the ninth division to pack for his mission.
