Based on previous intelligence, Kisuke Urahara speculated that Hui possessed the ability to entirely control space, and this possibility was extremely high.
This encounter with Hui confirmed his thoughts; this mysterious human did indeed possess the abnormal ability to control space.
Moreover, his mastery of this ability was likely very high!
At the same time, he further understood the strength of this mysterious human.
This strength was so terrifying that it could easily kill him.
A wry smile appeared on Kisuke's lips; he felt both joy and sorrow.
Joy that Yoruichi hadn't met with an accident and might even be able to advance further in her strength.
Sorrow that he didn't know how to get Yoruichi back.
Moreover, it wasn't just this one issue; recently, troublesome matters had been piling up one after another, giving him a splitting headache.
But what gave Kisuke the biggest headache was Hui.
In fact, it wasn't just Kisuke who had a headache because of Hui.
In Soul Society, within the Seireitei, Yamamoto was equally troubled.
Speaking of the Seireitei, after the last great battle, there had been considerable changes.
It was quieter than before. Because, everyone had gone to train.
Actually, as Shinigami, there was no need for them to be so pressed for time.
Because the gains from their training weren't much to write home about once one crossed a threshold of their strength growth.
However, the last battle had stimulated most of the Shinigami in the Seireitei. Especially the Captains.
Every one of them was exceptionally talented, a genius among geniuses.
Whether it was strength or authority, they were at the apex of the Seireitei.
The Shinigami they usually encountered were ultimately not on the same level as them.
Unconsciously, they had become accustomed to this feeling of superiority. However, in this great battle, where they faced Hui, they were so overwhelmed that they felt despair.
They felt that deep sense of powerlessness that hadn't appeared in their lives for a very long time.
This battle completely shattered their pride, pulled them down from their high pedestals, and made them experience powerlessness and weakness once again.
This feeling wasn't pleasant, whether for ordinary people or for the high-ranking Captains.
In fact, precisely because they were the high-ranking Captains, they cared more about this feeling and were even more stimulated by it.
It was this strong stimulation that made them start to train silently.
Of course, this didn't include Yamamoto.
His strength had already reached the peak, a point where he had no further room for advancement.
So, while other Captains were training, Yamamoto was just like before. However, he now had a headache.
Because just now, Yamamoto had received a message from the Royal Guard, informing him that the Shinigami sent by Squad Zero to investigate Hui had completely disappeared, vanished into thin air.
It was too difficult! And they gave him a task: to find out everything about Hui by any means necessary.
This left Yamamoto speechless.
Finding out the situation by any means necessary sounded simple, but putting it into action was anything but.
He couldn't help but recall the previous battle.
After that human's eyes changed, his strength had already surpassed that of ordinary Captains.
Even when fighting against all ten of them, he still didn't fall behind.
Although this was partly due to the battle taking place in Soul Society, where he couldn't go all out for fear of causing damage, the opponent's strength was undeniable.
Furthermore, after both sides were completely enraged, almost all of the Captains used their strongest trump cards, combined with some mysterious techniques, and finally managed to suppress that person.
However, after that mysterious human entered what he called 'Silver lightning Mode', the situation reversed again, and they were once more overwhelmed.
He was such a powerful human, who also seemed to possess incredible sensory abilities, how could investigating him be easy?
"Could it be that I have to go myself...?" Yamamoto muttered to himself.
That person seemed to crave an exhilarating battle, so if he extended an invitation to fight, would there be a chance to understand the opponent's situation?
Moreover, as long as the battle location was chosen in an insignificant place, he wouldn't have to hold back and could unleash his full strength.
Losing last time left Yamamoto feeling frustrated.
He hadn't experienced defeat in hundreds, even thousands of years. And this time, he had lost without being able to go all out, how could he not care?
"Perhaps I could go."
Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded from behind Yamamoto.
He didn't need to turn around to know who it was; he had heard this voice for hundreds of years.
"Unohana, do you have any ideas?" Yamamoto asked, then turned around.
The one who spoke was, of course, Retsu Unohana.
Her current appearance was different from before, with long, jet-black hair cascading down her back, not braided to cover her scar.
"I think he should be a relatively easy person to get along with. Perhaps by asking directly, we can learn about his situation." Retsu's words stunned Yamamoto, who then fell silent.
Easy to get along with...was he? A person who, for no valid reason decided to single-handedly crush the Gotei 13, was easy to get along with?
"After all, he didn't intend to fight us at first, did he?" Retsu continued, causing Yamamoto to fall silent again.
He thought carefully, and it seemed to be true.
But it also seemed not to be. As soon as that human appeared, he caused a violent reiatsu fluctuation in Soul Society.
No matter how you looked at it, this action should be considered a provocation, right? And then he said he was just here to look around?
This reason was too unconvincing; it was simply perfunctory.
"If that's the only reason, it's not enough to convince me." Yamamoto said, his eyes fixed on Retsu.
He needed a more sufficient reason.
His gaze shifted to the now invisible old scar on Retsu, she does seem to have a more compelling reason.
Retsu naturally noticed Yamamoto's gaze and understood his thoughts. However, she remained silent.
It seemed she could give a more sufficient reason, but she couldn't say what it was.
Both of them remained silent.
After more than ten seconds, Yamamoto finally spoke.
"I understand. Then, you shall go and investigate that human's situation, Retsu Unohana." After saying that, Yamamoto turned around, his back to Retsu.
"Yes." Retsu replied and also turned to leave.
