Chapter 247 247 Battle of Ultra-High Speed!
"Oh my, oh my, Toshiro-chan, you're too impatient," Yoruichi teased.
"However, since you're so eager for a fight, I'll grant your wish!"
Swish!
Before her words even faded, Yoruichi's figure flashed, instantly appearing beside Toshiro. Then, a high roundhouse kick whipped straight towards Toshiro.
Seeing this, Toshiro remained calm, casually extending his right arm to block in front of him.
Thump!
Yoruichi's kick was easily blocked by Toshiro's right arm, unable to advance an inch.
"Is this all you've got, Shihoin Yoruichi?" Toshiro said expressionlessly.
"Heh, that was just a greeting, Toshiro-chan," Yoruichi chuckled lightly.
Then, Yoruichi immediately retreated, putting some distance between them and staring intently at Toshiro.
"Next, let me show you the true power of the Goddess of Flash," Yoruichi said seriously.
As her voice fell, Yoruichi moved instantly.
Swish swish swish...!!
Yoruichi's figure revolved around Toshiro at extreme speed, creating numerous afterimages due to her ultimate velocity. At a glance, it seemed as if countless Yoruichis were circling Toshiro.
Toshiro's eyes followed each of Yoruichi's afterimages.
"Truly worthy of the title Goddess of Flash. At this speed, there are indeed few in the Soul Society who can match you..."
Before Toshiro could finish, countless 'Yoruichis' suddenly attacked him together.
Swish swish swish...!!
Countless 'Yoruichis' attacked Toshiro with punches and kicks.
Seeing this, Toshiro's hands also blurred into afterimages, meeting Yoruichi's attacks.
Bam bam bam bam...!!
Fists and feet collided. In the briefest instant, the two exchanged hundreds of blows.
However, in their clash, Toshiro ultimately gained the upper hand.
Under Toshiro's punches and palm strikes, countless 'Yoruichi' figures continuously vanished. Finally, only one figure remained, leaping into the air and delivering a whip kick towards Toshiro's head.
Slap!
Yoruichi's right foot was caught firmly in Toshiro's hand, unable to break free.
"Your movement speed and attack speed are indeed fast. Few in the Soul Society can rival you. But unfortunately... I am faster than you!" Toshiro said gravely.
"I thought if it were the Goddess of Flash, at least your speed could impress me. But in the end, it's only this level. Did I overestimate your strength?" Toshiro said somewhat disappointedly.
"No, it's not that my strength is too weak. It's that your strength is too strong... like a... monster!" Yoruichi said with a serious expression.
She understood very clearly that she was no match for Toshiro. After all, Toshiro was the Vice-Captain Commander of the Gotei 13 and Captain of the 10th Division, his strength comparable to Yamamoto, hailed as the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years.
So even if she ultimately lost to Toshiro, Yoruichi wouldn't be particularly surprised. But what truly surprised her was that Toshiro hadn't even used his Zanpakuto, suppressing her with just Hakuda.
As the former Captain of the 2nd Division and Commander of the Onmitsukido, Yoruichi's specialties were Hakuda and Hoho.
But now, in Hakuda, Yoruichi was completely at a disadvantage, which genuinely astonished her.
"I'm too strong? Perhaps," Toshiro said noncommittally.
Although Toshiro's strength was indeed formidable, he wasn't invincible. Not to mention others, within the Soul Society alone, there were Yamamoto and Aizen who could rival Toshiro. Perhaps one was slightly stronger or weaker among the three, but they were generally on the same level.
And that was just within the Soul Society. If it were the final boss, Yhwach, Toshiro wouldn't even have confidence in winning with his current strength.
"However, let's end this boring fight now," Toshiro said with a bored expression.
With that, Toshiro, holding Yoruichi's right foot, suddenly slammed her towards the ground.
Swish!
Yoruichi's body plummeted rapidly towards the ground.
Before Yoruichi could hit the ground, Toshiro's figure appeared beneath her at several times her falling speed and kicked towards her.
Yoruichi hurriedly crossed her arms in front of her to block.
Thud!
Although Yoruichi blocked Toshiro's kick, under Toshiro's immense power, her already rapidly descending body was sent flying back into the air.
Just as Toshiro was about to pursue and attack again, Yoruichi suddenly flung a bandage that wrapped around a nearby tree. Using the leverage, she swung back onto a rooftop.
"Toshiro-chan, if you have the skill, come catch me!" Yoruichi suddenly taunted Toshiro.
Then, using Shunpo at full power, she ran into the distance.
Tap! Tap! Tap...!!
Yoruichi's figure appeared on the rooftops of various buildings, using light steps to propel herself further away.
"Hmph, let me show you what real speed is, Shihoin Yoruichi!" Toshiro shouted.
"Shunkuho!"
Tap! Tap! Tap...!!
Toshiro's figure continuously flickered, pursuing Yoruichi at a speed even faster than hers.
With Toshiro using Shunkuho at full capacity, the distance between them began to shrink.
"What?!"
Yoruichi, running at extreme speed ahead, glanced back to see Toshiro's figure flickering, rapidly closing in at a speed surpassing her own. It seemed he would catch up in no time.
"Yare yare, even in speed... I've lost? In that case, what does that make the Goddess of Flash?" Yoruichi said somewhat bitterly.
Yoruichi had always taken pride in her speed, believing no one could surpass her. But now, she had to admit Toshiro's speed was far greater than hers.
'If I keep running like this, it's no solution. I'll be caught soon,' Yoruichi frowned.
Thinking this, Yoruichi immediately pulled out several throwing knives from her body and suddenly turned, flinging them towards Toshiro.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Combined with Toshiro's forward momentum, the knives reached Toshiro in an instant.
"Throwing weapons?"
Seeing this, Toshiro had no intention of dodging. Instead, he actively charged forward.
Clang clang clang!
The knives struck Toshiro's body. However, Toshiro remained completely unharmed, while the knives snapped in half.
"What?!" Seeing this, Yoruichi couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"What an incredibly strong physique!" Yoruichi said incredulously.
Swish!
While Yoruichi was stunned, Toshiro's figure flashed, instantly catching up.
"Caught you, Shihoin Yoruichi!" Toshiro shouted.
Then, Toshiro threw a punch towards her.
