As the figure in the white captain's haori approached, the Shinigami of the Third and Thirteenth Divisions showed excited expressions.
"It's Captain Uchiha! Thank goodness, we're saved!"
"With Captain Uchiha here, we'll definitely defeat this enemy!"
Cheers erupted from the Shinigami.
Looking at the carrion flies pinned to the ground, Renji, puzzled, asked Momo, "Does Hyapporankan really have that much power? I remember seeing others use it, and it only controlled one target."
Momo, with an expression of admiration, replied, "A normal Hyapporankan doesn't have that kind of power. I never imagined Captain Uchiha's mastery of Kidō was so profound."
Renji exclaimed in awe, "Captain's a captain, after all. Looks like I still have a long way to go before I reach that level!"
Kira Izuru, standing beside Renji, shook his head. "To wield Kidō to that extent... even most captains couldn't do it. Captain Uchiha must be among the top-tier captains in the current Gotei 13."
Seeing the newcomer, Krickle ceased his attack on Yū.
Because Yusuke was wearing glasses, Krickle didn't immediately recognize him as the ruler of Hueco Mundo, only finding him vaguely familiar.
Locking onto Yusuke with his spiritual pressure, Krickle grinned cruelly. "A captain has arrived. Impressive strength, indeed. But soon, I…"
Mid-sentence, a look of utter terror washed over Krickle's face, as he realized exactly who he was facing.
"Impossible… you… you…" Krickle stammered.
The Shinigami below were equally perplexed. Logically, the enemy's power should rival that of a Gotei 13 captain, yet he was suddenly overcome with such fear towards Captain Uchiha.
Yusuke displayed his signature warm smile. "Really, you almost hurt my precious subordinates."
Before anyone could react, Yusuke vanished. No one saw his movement; the next moment, he stood behind Krickle, back to the Arrancar.
Krickle seemed to want to speak, but before he could utter a word, a thin line appeared across his body.
As the line appeared, a massive amount of spiritual energy erupted from his body. In mere seconds, the once-powerful Arrancar, Krickle, dissipated into thin air.
Except for Yū, who remained impassive, all the Shinigami present were stunned into disbelief.
They had expected an epic battle, a clash between captain-level fighters, but instead, it was a one-sided massacre.
With a single strike, their seemingly invincible enemy was obliterated.
"Is this… captain-level power?" The Shinigami couldn't help but wonder.
Unbeknownst to them, Yusuke's power wasn't merely "captain-level"; it was more accurately described as "Commander-level."
In the entire Gotei 13, only Yusuke, Yamamoto-Genryūsai Shigekuni, and Aizen could achieve such a feat.
With Krickle's death, the hundreds of carrion flies formed from his spiritual energy began to dissipate into pure spiritual particles.
However, these particles carried a strong aura of impurity; if left unchecked, they would cause considerable trouble for the surrounding souls.
"Yū, I'll need your assistance," Yusuke said with a smile.
Yū nodded, immediately using SennoHana to unleash the "Pure Spirit Light Ring," purifying the surrounding tainted spiritual particles.
The Shinigami felt invigorated, and any wounds caused by the carrion flies healed instantly.
"Amazing! Senior Yū's abilities are incredible!"
Seeing his Zabimaru restored to its former glory, Renji exclaimed with delight.
"Probationary Shinigami Abarai, please address me as Senior Nagato or Vice-Captain Nagato," Yū said impassively, adjusting her glasses.
Renji scratched his head and laughed. "Got it, Senior Yū!"
Shiba Kaien, who had been sent crashing into the ground by Krickle, finally recovered, supporting himself on his trident as he limped towards Yusuke.
"Captain Uchiha, thank goodness you arrived in time. The consequences would have been unimaginable," Shiba Kaien said with a grateful smile, despite his injuries.
Looking at Shiba Kaien, Yusuke saw a reflection of Ichigo Kurosaki.
Both were incredibly responsible individuals, capable of selflessly facing powerful enemies. Sharing Shiba bloodline, their appearances were remarkably similar.
During the fight with Krickle, Shiba Kaien had used all his strength to directly engage the enemy, creating opportunities for Yū's ranged attacks.
However, their individual strengths were insufficient to defeat an experimental Arrancar possessing power exceeding that of a typical captain.
Patting Shiba Kaien on the shoulder, Yusuke smiled warmly. "I saw your performance. Excellent work. You truly live up to your reputation as the Gotei 13's most respected vice-captain. I'll be sure to praise you to Captain Ukitake the next time I see him."
Shiba Kaien, unusually shy, blushed at the praise. "Thank you for your kind words, Captain Uchiha. It is a shame that I was unable to defeat my opponent. I am truly ashamed!"
Yusuke waved his hand dismissively. "Strength is built through continuous effort. One day, you will surpass me."
Except for Yū, the Shinigami present were invigorated by Yusuke's words. The thought of reaching Yusuke's level through hard work filled them with aspiration.
Yū, however, remained impassive, silently criticizing her captain's hypocrisy. She knew that reaching his level required far more than mere effort, yet he was still deceiving these naive youths.
Yusuke surveyed the group, noting their relatively good condition. Despite the apparent danger, his timely arrival had prevented any casualties.
With Renji carrying the injured Shiba Kaien, Yusuke led the group back to the Seireitei.
On their way back, they sensed several powerful spiritual pressure fluctuations emanating from the distance—the other four experimental Arrancar.
