Watching Shunsui's retreating figure, Shin shook his head.
'I'm not trying to ruin your fun, I'm trying to save your life. If I had actually gone with you, Unohana would probably be storming the gates of the 8th Division by now.'
After sending Shunsui away, Shin turned his gaze to Yoruichi.
"What do you want?" Yoruichi retreated a few steps, looking incredibly wary, as if afraid of what Shin might do to her.
"What are you worried about? A little kid like you with nothing to offer—what do you think I'd do? You don't have what it takes to get my attention."
Shin said with a dismissive glance.
"Hey, that's a horrible thing to say! A guy like you will never find a girlfriend." Yoruichi was genuinely angered.
She looked down at her own figure. Sure, she was flat as a board, but she was still young. She definitely wouldn't be like this in the future.
Wait, why did she care so much? A well-developed figure would just be a burden, right? To some extent, it would affect her combat ability, especially for the Hakuda-specializing Shihōin clan.
"Alright, it's time to start our training," Shin said to Yoruichi.
Since he had already promised Kiyotaka Shihōin to train her, Shin wouldn't just go through the motions.
"I know."
Yoruichi didn't refuse. Her grandfather had a reason for sending her here. Though she had initially doubted Shin's strength, after some thought, she no longer believed he was weak. If he were, her grandfather would have never sent her here.
"Let's start with your physical conditioning."
Shin began to create a training plan for Yoruichi, and at the same time, he studied the Shihōin clan's Shunko. Kiyotaka had specifically given it to him, so there was no way he wouldn't learn it.
It was a combat technique that combined Kidō and Hakuda. But Shin remembered this was a technique Yoruichi had invented. Why did the Shihōin clan already have it? He couldn't figure it out, so he decided to drop it.
Though he knew the technique, practicing it was still a bit difficult. But for Shin, learning it wasn't hard.
The Shadow Clone Jutsu was perfect for learning any technique.
"What do you think of my clan's technique?" Yoruichi asked Shin with a hint of pride.
"Hmm, it's not bad," Shin gave a decent evaluation, which made Yoruichi slightly dissatisfied.
"That's it? You think it's just 'not bad'?"
"What else? That's a high compliment coming from me. At its core, it's just a technique for explosively releasing spiritual power."
After studying it thoroughly, Shin spoke. He could even create a similar technique himself.
"You're so annoying," Yoruichi said, scratching Shin's arm like a little cat to vent her frustration.
"Don't forget, I'm your teacher now. Aren't you afraid I'll retaliate?" Shin asked Yoruichi playfully.
"You wouldn't do that, would you?"
Yoruichi shrank back, looking at Shin with some fear. Though he was handsome, in her eyes, he was incredibly annoying.
"Just kidding. I'm not that petty. I wouldn't bully a child."
Shin patted Yoruichi's little head. Though he could be a scoundrel at times, he wouldn't bully Yoruichi.
"Even though you say you won't bully me, I don't really believe you," Yoruichi glanced at Shin, her eyes filled with suspicion.
"Alright, get to training. This used to be my rest time, and now I'm wasting it on you."
Shin sent Yoruichi off to train. She needed to absorb spiritual particles to increase her spiritual pressure, but since she was still young, he wouldn't push her too hard in this area.
When Yoruichi grew up, her spiritual pressure would naturally increase. Yoruichi's talent was actually quite good, even by Shin's standards. Especially her talent in Hakuda, and her talent in Shunpo was also extremely high.
But as for her talent in swordsmanship, Shin felt it was better not to mention it. It was truly terrible, like trying to carve a rotten piece of wood.
As for Kidō, Shin hadn't tested it. After all, with her current spiritual pressure, she couldn't release any powerful Kidō.
—————————
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed. In these ten years, Shin had the added task of training Yoruichi, which was a real pain. It took up so much of his time that he barely had any to visit the 4th Division.
"Finally sending you off to the Shin'ō Academy. I'll have a lot more free time now," Shin said with a smile.
Yoruichi Shihōin was no longer the little girl from back then; she had blossomed into a young woman. And though her skin was dark, she was a true beauty. Shin, however, had long since become immune to beautiful women.
"I didn't realize you were so tired of me," Yoruichi said, glancing at Shin with a hint of annoyance.
"It's good that you know now. Don't bother me anymore. I've taught you everything I can."
Shin took a sip of tea, then gestured to Yoruichi.
"You're really treating me like a servant," Yoruichi said as she poured tea for Shin, glaring at him irritably.
"I worked hard to teach you. Letting you pour me a cup of tea shouldn't be too much to ask, right?" Shin shrugged.
"Even though I'm going to the Shin'ō Academy, I'll still come back." After saying that, Yoruichi agilely left.
"Whew, I should go to the 4th Division."
Shin put down his teacup and headed towards the 4th Division. The current Seireitei was indeed boring; there were no wars.
Perhaps others enjoyed this peace, but Shin wished for something interesting to happen.
"Good day, Captain Shin."
As soon as he arrived at the 4th Division, Shin was greeted by many people. He smiled. There really were a lot of girls in the 4th Division.
Among the thirteen squads, the 4th Division had the most women. Many female Soul Reapers who didn't like to fight naturally joined the 4th Division.
He smiled and greeted every Soul Reaper. Of course, the only reason he did so was because they were all beautiful. If they were all men, Shin wouldn't have bothered.
"You haven't been here in a long time."
As soon as Shin pushed open the door and entered Retsu Unohana's office, she looked up at him.
Though Unohana didn't show it too obviously, Shin could still feel a hint of resentment from her.
"Ahem, I was busy training Yoruichi, so I didn't have much time." Shin wasn't making excuses; he was really tied up with that little wildcat Yoruichi and had no time.
