"You're injured. Who did this to you?"

In the 4th Division, Retsu Unohana looked at Shutara Senjumaru with a puzzled expression.

Hearing the question, Shutara's mood soured. After all, it was Shin who had injured her.

"Would you believe me if I said Shin Uzumaki did it?"

Unohana paused for a moment, then nodded. "Of course, I believe you. You must have provoked him."

In her experience, Shin wouldn't attack a woman without reason, especially not someone he considered a friend.

"You should be glad I've already treated you. If you had told me this before I finished, I would have thrown you out myself," Unohana said bluntly. She wasn't joking. Shin had obviously been provoked, and Unohana's loyalty was with him.

"That man is so ruthless, and you're just as bad."

Shutara's anger flared. A few words, and that man had turned on her, injuring her without a second thought for her beauty.

"Aren't you going to ask why he attacked me?" Shutara asked, unable to stop herself when Unohana remained silent.

"Why should I? I'm not one to pry. If you want to tell me, then tell me. If not, then don't." Unohana had no interest in gossip. "Do you want to leave the 4th Division now?"

"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Shutara asked, annoyed. She and Unohana were friends, weren't they? And now she was being kicked out? This was too much.

"Yes, I am. You angered Shin, and I don't want him to ignore me because of you. So, you should leave."

With that, Unohana escorted Shutara out. Shutara couldn't believe her trip from the Soul King Palace had ended like this.

"Damn it."

Fuming, Shutara stormed back to the 2nd Division.

"You're back again?" Yoruichi asked, surprised to see her.

"I'm staying here now," Shutara said with a straight face.

"Heh, you really have the nerve to stay here? You don't care at all, do you?" Yoruichi sneered, then turned and walked back into the barracks. "If you really have the guts, then come on in. But be prepared to die. I wouldn't want you to get yourself killed by Shin."

Yoruichi offered a "friendly" warning.

Shutara walked in, her expression icy, and once again came face to face with the man who had so ruthlessly injured her. Seeing that he showed no remorse, her anger grew.

"I'll be staying in the 2nd Division for a while," she said, taking a deep breath.

"Fine, as long as you pay. If you don't have the money, then get lost," Shin said, nodding.

"You actually agreed?"

Yoruichi was surprised. Why would he let this woman stay?

"Why shouldn't I? Making money is important."

Shin was in it for the money. If she was willing to pay, why would he turn her away?

"Alright, you're a real money-grubber," Yoruichi said, at a loss for words.

It wasn't just Yoruichi who was surprised. Shutara had been prepared to be thrown out. The only reason she had come back was because she was too angry to let it go.

"Changed your mind? You can leave if you want," Shin said, noticing her expression.

"Hmph, I'm staying." Shutara took out her money. She wasn't short on cash, and having stayed here before, she knew the price. She paid and left, though she would be back. She had business to attend to.

Arriving at the 1st Division barracks, she began to discuss matters with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto—matters concerning Aizen and the Hōgyoku...

————————

Meanwhile, in Hueco Mundo, Aizen's Hōgyoku was complete.

Gazing at the beautiful, radiant orb, Aizen's eyes burned with a fiery passion. This was the treasure he had dreamed of, and now it was finally his.

"With the Hōgyoku, I can hold my own against even Shin Uzumaki. And as I continue to evolve, I will eventually surpass him."

Aizen picked up the Hōgyoku and began to merge with it. He had moved so quickly because he was afraid Shin would try to steal it. After all, he knew Shin's target was the Hōgyoku. Since Shin was after it, he had to merge with it as soon as possible.

"Once I've fully merged with the Hōgyoku, it will be time for me to settle the score, Shin Uzumaki."

Aizen's eyes were as cold as ice.

The Arrancar in Hueco Mundo trembled under the pressure of his Reiatsu.

Aizen's Spiritual Pressure was already the strongest among the Soul Reapers. Now that he was merging with the Hōgyoku, it was running rampant.

Though he was in Hueco Mundo, his Reiatsu was so immense it could pierce through all three realms.

"That's Aizen's Reiatsu. It seems his Hōgyoku is complete."

The lazy demeanor Shin had maintained vanished in an instant, his eyes sharpening.

'I'll just wait for Aizen to come to me. That guy will definitely come for revenge. I don't believe he won't.' Shin thought, then lazily lay back down.

Though their previous interactions had been somewhat friendly, Aizen secretly wanted to destroy Shin, to tear him to pieces. Shin had caused him to suffer setbacks several times; it was impossible for Aizen not to hold a grudge.

So, Shin didn't need to do anything. He just had to wait, and Aizen would come to him for revenge.

Aizen's Reiatsu was felt not only by the Soul Reapers but also by the Visored in the human world. They were all too familiar with it.

At this moment, they were gritting their teeth. Aizen was the reason they had become what they were. They all wanted to tear him apart.
