Within the Soul Society, near a forest just past the Junrinan district part of West Rukongai, a man clad in white has been seen wandering around for several days, many people from west rukongai have reported seeing this man but none have had the courage to approach him, for what purpose was this man wandering around Junrinan.
It was a bright sunny day, the man in white was enjoying the peaceful scenery, his back against a tall tree, and he was sitting on the ground, looking upon the horizon. "This is what I truly enjoy about the outside world, when I was inside him I was unable to see such beauty".
Hitsuke was screaming at one of his superiors. "HUH?! No courage to approach that man? And you call yourself me superior?!" He then stormed off in the direction of that man. "What are you doing here?!"
Zangetsu was enjoying the peaceful and quite scenery, but not long after he was approached by a man with blue hair and piercing red eyes. The blue haired man approached him and started shouting at him for now reason, he asked Zangetsu "What are you doing here?!". With a calm expression Zangetsu replied, "That’s none of your concern, boy". "I am here of my own accord and it has nothing to do with you".
"Boy?! Boy?!" Hitsuke was angered at the man calling him a boy. "How about you? You look like a rotten old man!"
"It seems your eyes need to be checked, my appearance is that of a young man and yet you are calling me old. Although I was at one time called an old man, but that was a long time ago. So boy why do you stand before me, do you have business with me or do you enjoy mouthing off to people for no apparent reason all the time".
Zagetsu got up from the ground and faced the young boy standing before him, as always with a calm expression on his face.
Hitsuke was blushing, finally seeing his face properly. Before, he looked like a ragged old man. "Sorry. We just want to know why you have been walking around here yet my superiors don't dare to ask you. They really... nevermind, so why are you here?"
