Kisuke stared intently at Sora: "However, that thing in your hand isn't something to be played with. Could you hand it over to me?"
"Hand it over to you? Heh!" Sora shook his head: "Why should I hand it over? Is it yours?"
"But if it is yours, then why did I take it out from inside Rukia?"
"Also, Rukia's Gigai has the ability to seal Reiatsu and dissipate Reiryoku. Over time, Rukia herself would completely lose her Reiryoku and become an ordinary person!"
"This was your doing, wasn't it?"
Under Kisuke's shocked expression, Sora leisurely said: "Your idea was probably to have Rukia carry the Hogyoku and disappear into the vast sea of people."
"So, since you've already abandoned this Hogyoku, why should I give it to you?"
Sora looked leisurely at Kisuke.
Hearing Sora's words, Kisuke's face darkened.
Because at this moment, hearing Sora's words, Rukia finally reacted.
"Urahara Kisuke, what exactly is going on!!?" Rukia questioned Kisuke, her purple eyes filled with intense anger!
"You set me up!"
Clang! Rukia drew Sode no Shirayuki, pointing it at Kisuke.
It seemed that if Kisuke didn't give a proper explanation today, she would take action!
Looking at Rukia, Kisuke knew that even if he had ten thousand mouths, he couldn't convince Rukia now.
Fortunately, just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, Kisuke's reinforcements arrived.
"My, my, little sister Kuchiki, why so hasty?"
"Your sword can't hurt anyone, put it away!"
A lazy, sultry voice sounded behind Rukia.
"Who!!?" Rukia turned around and was shocked to find a woman with wheat-colored skin.
And the key point was, she recognized this woman!
"Shihoin Yoruichi!!?" Rukia exclaimed in shock. Yoruichi was the former head of the Shihoin Clan!
After defecting a hundred years ago, her whereabouts had been unknown. She never expected to see her here now.
Suddenly, Rukia took half a step back.
She sensed that she seemed to have unknowingly fallen into a huge web with her current mission in the Living World!
At present, everyone she encountered were people her own strength couldn't handle. In this chess game, Rukia didn't have the initiative.
Whether it was Sora, the current Yoruichi, or Kisuke.
Thinking more carefully, Ichigo wasn't simple either. His talent, his combat power… it was simply outrageous!
A person with no training at all, after she turned him into a Shinigami, directly one-shotted a Hollow that could severely injure her!
This was practically the Reiatsu of those elite children from great families!
Thus, with the thought of giving up appearing in her mind, the world instantly widened.
Simply put, Rukia directly retreated, no longer involving herself in these disputes!
"Smart little girl!" Seeing Rukia's choice, Yoruichi praised.
Then, she looked at Sora: "Young man, could you please hand over that thing in your hand? It's not something you should possess!"
"Heh, is that so?" Sora neither confirmed nor denied: "This isn't something I should have? Then what should I have?"
"You? But you don't even know its true capabilities. How can you say it 'should' be yours?"
Mizuki addressed the two: "You arrived long ago, not long after I released my Reiatsu!"
"So, you saw it too, right? The enhancements I gave Rukia!"
"Indeed, shocking!" Yoruichi and Kisuke nodded.
They never expected the Hogyoku to have such abilities… modifying both Reiatsu and the physical body!
But if that's the case, then it's even more impossible to leave it in Sora's hands!
This person's origins are unknown, everything is unknown. Who knows what he might do with the Hogyoku!!?
Yoruichi couldn't help but take two steps forward.
"Precisely because of this, we cannot give you the Hogyoku!" Kisuke said.
Seeing this, a glint flashed in Sora's eyes: "Then what if I tell you both that I don't intend to give it to you?"
Yoruichi spoke up: "Then there's no other way. We'll have to settle this with you today!"
"Heh!" Hearing Yoruichi's words, Sora didn't reply. He just looked at Kaguya beside him.
"Speaking of which, you've followed me for so long, but it seems I haven't really enhanced you much… I only gave you Blut earlier."
"Alright then, you are the Chakra Progenitor, after all, with some prestige. Let me give you a bit more enhancement!"
"Hogyoku! Grant her Captain-level strength!" Sora said, pointing the Hogyoku at Kaguya.
Instantly, a powerful force poured into Kaguya's body!
Immediately, a Zanpakuto manifested at Kaguya's waist, and simultaneously, memories of Zanjutsu, Kido, Hoho and Hakuda… the four Shinigami combat arts, entered her mind!
