Kuruyashiki stared at Sai who was so absorbed in his own thoughts.

Knowing about a lot of Sai's characters, the murderous aura was something that Kuruyashiki had never seen in Sai.

For a decade, Kuruyashiki saw that no matter what he faced, Sai was always level headed in any situation. He was always consistently doing so in every situation he faced.

Even after hundreds of his friends and underlines were killed in the battle against Quincy remnants, Sai was capable to stay put and calmed down before going for his next action.

Amongst all his officers, Kuruyashiki valued Sai the most whether for his strength or his character. It was just that Sai didn't even bother to rank up his position, otherwise the vice captain could already be his base on his strength and performance. Not only Kuruyashiki had the thought, even other officers including vice captain Touma himself agreed with the thought.

Unfortunately Sai wasn't interested with the rank and stayed put on his seat every time the challenges were held.

Not only that, throughout the years, Sai always reached for Kuruyashiki for whatever was in his mind, making him understood the most about Sai's line of thoughts.

Seeing the sudden a small change in his character made Kuruyashiki wonder why he had that murderous thought just because he told Sai about his epiphany.

"Pow!!!"

Seeing Sai was still deep in his thoughts, Kuruyashiki flicked him on his head and sent him flying.

"What are you thinking about? Interfering with my fight?" He asked Sai as the later stood up from the floor.

"N-n-no.." Sai was stuttering as he was thinking for an excuse.

"Don't bother. I always feel like this whenever big fights are coming. It's not like I'm going to lose. Besides, It might take years before it happens."

"Years?" Sai was confused.

"Yeah, I always felt like this a few years before a big fight is coming. It is like a warning to prepare myself as a strong enemy has appeared and is coming. Well, the last time it happened was years before the big war against those Quincy, hundreds of years ago. I'm almost dead before winning the fight. Hahaha." Kuruyashiki laughed as he explained.

"So, he had already come in contact with power." Sai remembered that the person was very well prepared before challenging Kuruyashiki.

"Remember Sai. Whatever you happens, do not interfere with my fight. Let's cancel today's sparr." Kuruyashiki said and left Sai to himself in the training room.

"Fighting Junkies!" said Sai as he saw his captain walked away.

"I am." Sai heard Kuruyashiki answer him feom far.

"Sigh. I'm being disrespectful to you if I still don't listen to you. But that fight is hardly considered as fair. Urgh." Sai muttered as he thought about it.

Walking on the street, Sai finally sort out all his information from what he remembered.

The fight that supposed to happen wasn't anyway near from his current timeline. The fight was about to happen in the upcoming 40 something years.

To think Kuruyashiki already had the epiphany for his last fight, Sai was shocked at how far his instinct could be.

Suddenly he stopped. "It's the execution hole? He's awaken?" Another information suddenly appeared in his mind about Azashiro's history.

He remembered, Azashiro's zanpakuto never had any Shikai form which he had awakened his bankai as a kid after his sister's death.

In the end, all the information could only be kept in his mind as it was a taboo for a normal shinigami as himself to investigate the noble's family.

Whether the Execution Hole insident really happened or not, Sai couldn't confirm it.

"Care about your damn strength first, you idiot." A voice suddenly came to his mind.

"What the..." Sai was shocked as he heard the brat voice was talking to him.

"Good. Reeally good. When I'm trying to talk to you, you become a mute. When I'm not talking to you, you become a busybody. Damn brat. Just wait. It won't be long. Even if it is, I'm eventually going to dig you out so I can kick your face. Just wait.." Sai smacked his zanpakuto on the road and walked away.

After a period of time, the zanpakuto disappeared from the road and reappeared with Sai again

Five years passed.

Sai was sitting on a boulder as he quietly. Things had happened during the period of time.

One of the main officers of 11th Division, Ryōma and the vice captain Touma and had died during a mission.

After a year, Kentarō came out and succeed Touma during the seat selection. Then another two shinigami took the 8th and 9th seat.

As for his other friends, Sai had seen Shinji take over the lieutenant of 5th Division. Hiyori was the 4th seat in 12th Division. Lisa was the new lieutenant of the 8th Division since last year.

As for Sai, he was still stubbornly sitting as 5th seated officer of 11th Division.

After a decade, everyone had used to his behaviour and didn't said anything about it anymore.

Closing his eyes, Sai meditated and initiated Jinzen.

As usual, he would appear in a cave with full of mist.

"Still not enough?" Sai shouted.

As he waited for the answer, Sai walked into the endless cave. After a decade of effort, Sai didn't know anymore which way the enterance or the exit. It was like aimless walks for his answer.

"What do you mean still? It's just the beginning." Finally after 15 years Sai could hear his zanpakuto answering his call.
