After recovering, a wave of exhaustion washed over Yoruichi. She had been through several intense battles, and it had taken a considerable toll on her.

"If you're tired, get some rest. Don't worry, it's completely safe here," Shin said, noticing her fatigue.

Hueco Mundo was hardly what you'd call safe, but any place Shin was, was the safest place in the world.

Yoruichi nodded, trusting his words completely. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

For someone so energetic, she was surprisingly peaceful when she slept.

Shin lay down as well, closing his eyes. But even with them shut, nothing in the surrounding area could escape his senses.

——————————————————————

Months flew by in Hueco Mundo. Shin made a few trips back to the Seireitei, but always returned quickly. Yamamoto remained unaware that he had taken Yoruichi to Hueco Mundo, thanks to Retsu Unohana covering for him.

"So, how does it feel? Your strength has been skyrocketing, right?" Shin asked with a light chuckle.

"It really has," Yoruichi admitted with a nod. She felt like she could easily wipe the floor with her past self from a few months ago.

"Come on, let's head back to the Seireitei. Training here any further won't do you much good."

Shin decided to take Yoruichi back. Pushing her training here any more wouldn't yield significant results, so it was better to return.

"Finally! I was about to lose my mind if I had to stay here any longer."

Though her power had grown immensely, the one thing she couldn't stand was Hueco Mundo itself. The environment was just awful.

"Don't get too excited just yet. When we get back, you've got a little strength test waiting for you. I'm going to have you fight that Adjuchas."

Shin was referring to the Adjuchas he had captured and kept in his Kamui dimension. He figured Yoruichi was strong enough to handle it now.

"Perfect. I've been wanting to test my true strength. But are you sure it's okay to bring an Adjuchas back?"

Yoruichi was a little worried. If he were discovered, Shin might become public enemy number one.

"Don't worry. I've been keeping it in the Kamui dimension. It won't be appearing in the Seireitei. Besides, I have a feeling you'll probably beat it to death before long," Shin said, reassuring her.

He then used Yomotsu Hirasaka, teleporting himself and Yoruichi back to the 2nd Division barracks in the Seireitei.

"After you defeat the Adjuchas, I'll promote you to Vice-Captain."

"Really?" Yoruichi's eyes lit up. She was thrilled at the prospect of becoming a Vice-Captain.

A faint smile played on Shin's lips. She probably thought being his Vice-Captain was a good thing. It absolutely wasn't.

He was already thinking about how, once Yoruichi became Vice-Captain, he could dump all his responsibilities on her.

Yoruichi had no idea Shin was already planning to turn her into his personal workhorse. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

After returning, Yoruichi rested and got herself back into peak condition. Shin then brought her into the Kamui dimension.

There, she saw the massive Adjuchas. The moment it spotted Shin and Yoruichi, the enraged Hollow attacked.

Being suddenly trapped in this bizarre place had driven the Adjuchas into a fury. It wanted to tear apart any Soul Reaper that showed up. If it wasn't mistaken, they were the ones who had locked it in here.

"He's all yours, Yoruichi. If you can't handle him, just give me a shout," Shin said, immediately backing away to avoid the Hollow's attack.

"As if I can't beat this thing," Yoruichi retorted. She didn't think for a second she'd lose to this Adjuchas. Her strength had grown so much; she was filled with confidence.

Shin stepped back to watch. Yoruichi skillfully dodged the Adjuchas's relentless assault.

She moved like an agile assassin. With the way things were going, the Adjuchas couldn't even hope to land a finger on her. Her Flash Step had reached a whole new level of mastery—it was, after all, her greatest strength.

"So, what do you think?" Yoruichi asked Shin.

"I think you should probably focus on the fight instead of asking me for a critique," Shin replied.

Just as Yoruichi's attention wavered, the Adjuchas seized the opportunity, striking her and sending her flying. Its claws nearly pierced her heart.

The close call sent a shiver down Yoruichi's spine. That was really dangerous. She had to admit, she had underestimated this Adjuchas.

"Looks like I need to get serious."

Yoruichi activated her Shunkō, and a tangible spiritual pressure enveloped her entire body.

Her physical abilities skyrocketed, increasing more than tenfold. Her spiritual pressure even generated arcs of lightning that struck the ground around her.

"Die." Yoruichi stomped the ground, launching herself high into the air. She appeared directly above the Adjuchas and aimed a powerful kick at its mask.

"ROARRRRRR! DAMN SOUL REAPER!"

The Adjuchas raised its arm to block the kick. Although it was sent flying dozens of meters and its arm was broken, such an injury was nothing to it.

"..." Yoruichi frowned, a sense of unease creeping in. Using Shunkō drained her stamina considerably.

Her attack didn't seem to be effective against the Adjuchas. If the fight dragged on, she would likely be the one to lose.

The Adjuchas's shattered arm regenerated in an instant. High-Speed Regeneration—even a severed limb could grow back in moments.

"Now you see it's not a pushover, right?"

Shin had been watching the whole time. Of course, he knew Yoruichi was in a tough spot. He just had no intention of helping. He was only there to make sure she didn't die.

As it stood, the chances of Yoruichi defeating this Adjuchas were slim to none. If she could, it would mean her strength was already on par with a Captain.

"Cero."

The Adjuchas opened its mouth and fired a Cero, a massive beam of spiritual energy, straight at Yoruichi.

"<Utsusemi!>"

Using the advanced Flash Step technique, Yoruichi left behind an afterimage and dodged the attack, then quickly closed the distance. She knew she had a better chance up close than trying to fight it from a distance. Her greatest strength was Hakuda, after all. Her Kidō skills were average at best.

Shin had taught her Kidō, and her talent for it wasn't bad, but she never took it as seriously as her Hakuda training.

The Adjuchas was massive, far larger than Yoruichi, but to her, that was an advantage. She was clearly much more agile.
