High upon Mt. Koifushi, a lone figure clung to a cliff face. Pulling himself up onto the ledge, Nobufusa took a moment to think on why he was here again. "....The Highest Physical Point...Nigh Unbreakable...", he rasped, repeating the words of the Captain Commander to himself. Mt. Koifushi was in Hokutan, 3rd District of West Rukongai.
He was not certain it was the highest point in all of the spirit world, he didn't even know if all the spirit world had been mapped, or if it could be mapped. Perhaps it went on forever? What he did know is that mountains were the most unbreakable thing he could think of. Even with his Bankai, he could hardly give a mountain what to it would seem a papercut, though it might seem like great fissure to him. They were also the highest physical places in all the planes. In times immemorial, humans traveled to distant peaks to be closer to the gods. They built monastaries, consecrating earth as hidden, forbidden, holy ground. Either of the powers associated with those ancient riddles could be here, or perhaps both, or none at all.
Though he looked, he could not find record that anyone had actually been all the way to the very, very peak of Mt. Koifushi. What irony it would be if one of the swords for which now all the Seiretei searched, lest they fell into the hands of Aizen, was right here all along. It was unlikely, but it was best to search close before searching far. Finding another foothold, he continued his ascent to the summit.
