As Aaron and Unohana Yachiru engaged in an intense battle, two figures watched from the shadows, observing them carefully.

"How about it, Yamamoto? Isn't that kid impressive?"

"Impressive, yes. But he killed a Shinigami," replied the bald elder, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, coldly.

"Come on, don't be so rigid and sanctimonious!" Oetsu Nimaiya, the Sword God of the Royal Guard, sighed as he massaged his forehead in exasperation.

"He killed a Shinigami. Therefore, he must die," Yamamoto retorted, his expression stern and eyes filled with a chilling resolve.

"It was just a low-ranking member of the Gotei 13. Surely, that doesn't warrant such drastic action? The guy barely met the requirements to be a Shinigami!" Nimaiya protested, trying to reason with the Commander-General.

"Even the weakest Shinigami is part of the Gotei 13. His death demands justice," Yamamoto replied unwaveringly. "As for the girl, if she can pass my test, I may consider her potential as a Shinigami."

"Yamamoto, I looked into the Shinigami who died. Before joining the ranks, he was a notorious rogue from Rukongai. Even after becoming a Shinigami, his behavior never improved. So tell me—what will it take for you to let the boy go?" Nimaiya pressed, clearly frustrated.

"It's simple. The favor you owe me will be considered repaid," Yamamoto answered, a sly glint flashing in his eyes.

"You scheming old man! So, this was your plan all along!" Nimaiya exclaimed, finally realizing Yamamoto's intention. Though annoyed, he quickly calmed himself as he recalled the extraordinary potential he had seen in Aaron.

After all, rare talents like this were worth protecting.

"If the great Sword God is willing to repay his debt to shield this boy, then perhaps there's more to him than meets the eye," Yamamoto mused, his gaze returning to the battlefield.

"You'll see soon enough…" Nimaiya said smugly.

Meanwhile, the clash between Aaron and Unohana Yachiru had reached its peak.

With Unohana focusing her strategy on overwhelming Aaron with her immense Reiatsu, the battle had become a relentless exchange of blows. While her sheer power kept pressing Aaron, he skillfully deflected her attacks using a variety of techniques.

Despite his clever countermeasures, Aaron knew he couldn't overpower her outright. Her Reiatsu was leagues above his own, creating an undeniable gap in raw power.

This realization solidified Aaron's determination to grow stronger. He understood that in the world of Shinigami, battles ultimately boiled down to a clash of Reiatsu. No matter how many ingenious techniques or inventions he developed, their effectiveness was limited without a strong foundation of spiritual energy.

After enduring wave after wave of attacks, Aaron decided to bring the fight to a close by using his full strength.

"Bakudō #8: Sekiho!" Aaron chanted, unleashing a cage of blue spirit particles that quickly entrapped Unohana.

"A mere parlor trick," Unohana scoffed. She channeled all her Reiatsu into her blade, gripping it tightly with both hands before slashing at the spirit cage.

Boom!

With a resounding crash, Unohana shattered the cage but was taken aback when an invisible force weighed heavily on her.

"Condense!" Aaron called out, intensifying the spiritual pressure around her.

Unohana found her movements sluggish, as if trapped in quicksand. Though the technique caused her no direct harm, it effectively restricted her speed and fluidity.

In the shadows, Nimaiya and Yamamoto both reacted with intrigue.

"The kid's Reiatsu may be weaker, but his ingenuity in combat techniques is extraordinary," Nimaiya remarked, his tone filled with admiration.

"Hmph. We'll see how far innovation can take him," Yamamoto replied, his stern expression unchanging, though a flicker of curiosity danced in his eyes.

Back on the battlefield, Unohana managed to dispel the binding pressure with great effort. She surged forward; her blade aimed directly at Aaron.

Calmly, Aaron gathered the surrounding Reishi in his palm, molding it into a condensed sphere of crackling energy.

"Hadō #11: Raihō!" he shouted, releasing a powerful beam of lightning-infused energy that hurtled toward Unohana at blinding speed.

This technique, a derivative of Hadō #1: Shō, was one of Aaron's most recent innovations. His experiments over the past few days had finally yielded a result he found satisfying.

Caught off guard by the sheer velocity and intensity of the attack, Unohana instinctively gathered all her Reiatsu to form a barrier. Though she managed to deflect part of the blast, the remaining energy streaked toward her unimpeded.

Just as the beam was about to strike Unohana directly, an overwhelming Reiatsu suddenly erupted from nearby, halting the attack mid-flight.
