Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 144 142. Captains, long time no see!

In Soul Society's Seireitei, a unique meeting is taking place in the hall of the Tsunayashiro family, one of the five nobles.

Higashino Shuichi stood alone in the center, surrounded by a circle of nobles wearing various noble costumes. Higashino Shuichi looked around and found that most of the influential nobles in the entire Seireitei had sent people to participate. this meeting.

There is only one person sitting in the innermost seat, and that is the current head of the Tsunayashiro family, Tsunayashiro Kamihara.

"God of Death Higashino Shuichi, do you know why we called you here?"

Even though he was begging Higashino Shuichi, Tsunayashiro Kamihara still maintained his aloof attitude.

"I know, because you, Tsunayoshi-sama, asked Central Room 46 to sign an amnesty order for me, so that I no longer have to bear the name of a traitor in Soul Society. I should come here to express my gratitude to you, Tsunayoshi-sama!"

Although Higashino Shuichi was disdainful in his heart, he still had to do enough on the surface.

"Well, you know that this is our effort, so there is one thing, I need you to tell us the details truthfully!"

Tsunayashiro Kamihara was not even willing to pull the strings, and went directly to the topic, which shows his urgency.

"Excuse me, sir. As long as Xiuyi knows, he will tell you everything he knows."

Hideyoshi Higashino replied respectfully to Tsunayashiro Kamihara.

"Do you know the true identity of the gray-eyed man you fought with in Osaka Prefecture ten years ago?"

"I know, sir, his name is Qiushi, and he is a Perfectionist."

Before Higashino finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tsunayashiro Kanhara: "You only know part of it. Akumi is not an ordinary Perfectionist. His eyes are the eyes of the Soul King that fell off. , As for what a Soul King is, you must have heard about the deeds of the former captain of the 12th Division, Hikifune Kiryu, after he was promoted to the Zero Division, so you should be very clear, right?"

"Yes, Tsunayashiro-sama, Shuichi knows it very well."

Higashino Shuichi lowered his head and said.

He knew that Qiushi's eyes were definitely not simple, otherwise how could an ordinary Perfectionist possess such terrifying abilities?

Being able to fully retain the improvements gained in the fictional future back to the real world cannot be described as a relatively strong ability. Usually in another world, most people like to call it cheating. .

But if this is the power of the Soul King, or it comes from one of the parts of the Soul King's body, the very important eyes, then Higashino Shuichi can understand it.

It's just a part of the Spirit King's body. Can that be called cheating?

That's called rational use of granularity.

"Through the ability of those eyes, you can see the real future and use it as a blueprint to construct a false future. However, due to Qiushi's body, he can only activate this ability once in his life.

Therefore, what you see and experience in that world may not be the real future, but it must be not much different from the real future.

Now, tell me, what did you see in that world? "

Tsunayashiro Kanhara asked Higashino Shuichi the most important question.

At the same time, Higashino Shuichi could clearly feel that all the noble families around him had their ears pricked up. Some of them with bad memories even secretly took out paper and pens.

“I saw a god of death massacring all the members of the forty-sixth central room in the near future;

I saw that it was the same Shinigami who personally killed the captain of the Gotei 13th Division, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni;

I also saw that God of Death, who single-handedly almost subverted the entire Soul Society. After the war, not one of the nobles in Soul Society was left alive, and not even one of the God of Death was left alive."

Higashino Shuichi felt ridiculous in his heart while describing the future scene he had carefully weaved.

Because the nobles who were shaking their heads and listening, and the nobles who were immersed in taking notes, were so innocent and inexplicably cute.

Even if Higashino Shuichi was not a time traveler, how could these nobles dare to believe what he said?

Do they really think that all previous misunderstandings and all the injustices inflicted on them can be erased with just an amnesty order?

Even if this was done by Higashino Shuichi on his own initiative.

In this regard, Higashino Shuichi felt that if he had to find a culprit, it would probably be Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the strongest man in the Soul Society for thousands of years.

It's all because Yamamoto protected these nobles so well that they didn't even know the real world.

I don't know if arrogant people like them would have even the slightest chance of survival if the Gotei 13th Division led by Yamamoto were not there to act as a deterrent.

And after Higashino Shuichi finished talking about the future that combined the actions of Sosuke Aizen, Yhwach Bach, and part of Tsunayashiro Tokinada, as expected, this future, even if it may have been partially modified by Akimi, is enough to make People feel terrible.

Especially for Shinigami like Tsunayashiro Kamihara and others, time has never been a problem. In other words, the future described by Higashino Shuichi is most likely a fact that they will experience personally.

But what a scary future is that?

Listen, even Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni will die at the hands of that god of death, and the entire Soul Society will fall into ruin.

Not long after the entire hall fell into a noisy discussion, an unknown person suddenly spoke out,

"If the Death that Akimi replaced actually appears in the future, even though Higashino Shuichi just said that he didn't know the name and appearance of that Death, have we forgotten one fact?

That's because Higashino Shuichi defeated Akumi, who completely replaced the god of death, to return to the present! "

There is no doubt that this person was arranged by Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

Higashino Shuichi saw that the person who spoke was not even a member of the aristocracy, but was just a Shinigami responsible for maintaining order at the scene. But that was not important anymore. What was important was that what he said was a fact. A person who Higashino Shuichi said to himself was That being said, it is an indisputable fact.

In fact, Higashino Shuichi had previously thought about whether to expose the matter of Yhwach and Aizen. In this case, with the help of these nobles and the cooperation of the other captains of the entire Gotei Thirteenth Division, it would be possible. The opportunity is first to deal with Aizen who has not integrated the complete Hongyoku at this moment.

Then, before Yhwach has regained consciousness, use Higashino Shuichi's technology to travel to the shadow world that he obtained from that fictional future to counter-invade a wave of invisible empires. In this way, Yhwach can definitely be defeated before Yhwach wakes up. Kill him.

But after confirming from Tsunayashiro Kanhara that Akumi's eyes were those of the Soul King, Higashino Shuichi hesitated.

Because from Qiushi's fictional future, he inherited not only the power of the Quincy obtained by swallowing the heart blood of Yhwach, but also the eyes of the Soul King, but now these have been temporarily transplanted to that person The fictional human Kabutuma Takuya.

But an indisputable fact is placed in front of Higashino Shuichi, that is, he does have two body parts of the Soul King now, one of which is an important part like the Soul King's eyes. In addition, Higashino Shuichi at this time, Possessing the power of a Shinigami, Hollow, Quincy, and Hell at the same time, and only missing the Perfection Technique, Higashino Shuichi can proudly announce that he is an enhanced version of Ichigo Kurosaki and an adult version of Ichigo Kurosaki. .

Under such circumstances, Higashino Shuichi would have thought it was impossible for the monk from the Zero Division not to have the idea of ​​being a Soul King candidate in his mind.

So how about saying that fate plays tricks on people?

Once upon a time, Higashino Shuichi was still a little Karami who only wanted to survive the troubles caused by Aizen Sosuke and Yhwach. Now, with Higashino Shuichi's tireless efforts, there is finally someone who can make these two people become nothing. The boss gave him the opportunity to die early, but he didn't dare to implement it.

Otherwise, God knows, in the future, when the original Soul King's body collapses, will the monk from Division Zero capture him and cut him into a new Soul King human stick?

Higashino Shuichi cannot bet and dare not bet before he can defeat the entire strength of Team Zero.

Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing and fabricate an unfounded god of death.

Fortunately, it was such a completely fabricated future, and none of these lovely and simple nobles questioned its authenticity.

"Yes, didn't Higashino Shuichi defeat that god of death?"

"But isn't that in a fictional future?"

"Are you stupid? If you don't know the details of that God of Death, Higashino Shuichi can defeat him. Now that you know the abilities and fighting methods of that God of Death, even if you fail to find him out in advance, when the two of them fight, then Higashino Shuichi must have won casually, right?!"

"But Higashino Shuichi is a ghosted Shinigami after all."

"Well, the same goes for the tapirs of Kasumadalu's family back then."

"But he was also characterized as a rebellious god of death who escaped from this world."

"this"

The nobles around were chatting away. Their voices were very small, but in such a small space, for a Shinigami of Higashino Shuichi's level, he could hear all those sounds as long as he wanted to hear them.

But Higashino Shuichi was very calm, because he knew that all these people's words were useless, and the real decision-maker was the head of the Tsunayashiro family, Tsunayashiro Kamihara.

And if you look at Higashino Shuichi from the perspective of Tsunayashiro Kanbaru, you will come to a completely different conclusion from those nobles.

Higashino Shuichi knew that Aizen must have seen this in himself that day before he said those words.

Because for these aristocratic groups headed by the five noble Tsunayashiro family, Higashino Shuichi is the only and best choice they can find.

Even if there is no such thing as Akimi's fictional future, Higashino Shuichi believes that it is only a matter of time before the Tsunayashiro family comes to him.

The facts were not what Higashino Hideichi expected. After a long period of thinking and discussion, and even Tsunayashiro Kamihara made a special trip to the Great Spirit Book Corridor midway, he announced the result.

Two days later, in the early morning, the current captain of the second division of Gotei Thirteenth Division, Zaihou, had just gotten up, put on his protective gear, and was about to start today's training session. Suddenly, he received a message from the captain, saying that an urgent meeting was to be held. Captains meeting.

It's very strange. Broken Bee remembers that there shouldn't be any major events happening in Soul Society recently. Why did the captain suddenly hold a captain's meeting?

However, Zaihou didn't think anything of it. After entrusting the team's affairs to the vice-captain Ohmaeda Kichiyo, he immediately rushed to the first team's building.

There was more than one captain who had the same doubts as Broken Bee. Most of the captains were confused by the temporary captain meeting called the chief captain.

Especially after seeing the captain of the 13th Division, Ukitake Jushiro, and the 12th Division, Captain Niryuri. These two captains, who usually rarely attend captain meetings, also rushed over in a rare occasion. Everyone felt even more confused.

"What exactly happened? Captain Kyōband, do you know?"

Before the meeting, Zaihou looked at Kyōraku Shunsui opposite and asked.

"I don't know, little bitch~" Kyoraku Shunsui said lazily with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, "But I heard that the Tsunayashiro family, one of the five nobles, recently A new division has been established, and it seems to have been approved by the old man, and it seems to have been approved by Room 46 of the Central Committee~"

"New squad?"

Broken Bee frowned, why hadn't she heard of it?

Did this matter completely bypass the Sifengyuan family?

As a member of the Bee family, a lower-level noble family serving the Sihoin family, even though she hated Yoruichi Yorui because of her previous defection from the Soul Society, she and the Sihoin family were left with The relationship with Shifouin Yoruichi's younger brother, Shifouin Yuushiro Sakimune, is still okay.

Therefore, she did not know about this matter, which can only mean that the Tsunayashiro family bypassed the Shifengin family.

And this is not the first time this happened after Shifengin Yoruichi defected from Soul Society.

Since the collective defection incident more than ten years ago, the current structure of the five major nobles in Soul Society is that the Tsunayashiro family is the dominant family, and the Kuchiki family only guards their own one-third of an acre.

The Shihoin family has not yet been able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Shihoin Yushiro Saki nobility, and the nobles who originally had a good relationship with the Shihoin family showed signs of turning to the Tsunayashiro family;

Not to mention the Shiba family, which was originally very unpopular among the nobles. They basically had no say and no loyalty from the minor nobles;

The last Kabutuma family has never participated in Soul Society affairs, and now the only head of the family has gone directly to the living world to find his old friend Higashino Shuichi.

Although very few people among ordinary Shinigami knew about this matter, for captains like Zhihou, they still knew something about it.

Broken Bee still remembers the buzzing in her head when she learned the news that day.

For a moment, she wanted to run away to the present world, because the two people she "treasured" the most had defected to the present world (one almost killed her, and the other did not notify her at all before running away).

Fortunately, she endured it in the end.

Soon, all the captains of the first team were present in the conference room of the first team.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was in the chair, did not say any nonsense, but went straight to the point: "Today, I held a captain's meeting for no other purpose but one, and that is to pass the resolution of the 46th Room of the Central Committee. , in the future, a new noble team will be added to the Seireitei directly under the leadership of the Tsunayashiro family, one of the five great nobles, and the team name will be Tokugari Shou!"

"But don't we already have a noble squad?"

Jushiro Ukitake, captain of the Thirteenth Division, asked, while looking at the current captain of the Sixth Division, Sojun Kuchiki.

The new head of the Kuchiki family, who had just taken over the captaincy from his father Kuchiki Ginrui who had died in battle, looked a little weak.

"It's different, Jushiro. Most of the time, our Sixth Division obeys the orders and deployment of the captain. However, the newly established Sword Hunters are not subject to the deployment of the captain. They only obey the Tsunayashiro family and the Central Forty Instructions from Room Six.”

Kuchiki Sojun shook his head and said helplessly.

Obviously, as the head of the Kuchiki family, he knew some inside information.

"So? It's just to inform someone about the establishment of the Sword Hunters. There's no need to call us captains over, right? Old man?"

It was the captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki, who was the most direct, directly making his impatient attitude clear to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

In this regard, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who had long been accustomed to the offensive names of Kenpachi Zaraki, just looked around at the captains, and then said calmly: "If it is just to announce the establishment of a new division, the Sword Hunter Squadron, then it is indeed There is no need for captains to come over, but as long as it is still a division, then our tradition must be respected in the selection of its captain.

First of all, I don't approve of him at all, and secondly, he has not been recommended by any of the current captains. Therefore, if this god of death wants to become the captain of the Sword Hunters, there is only one way left."

"Hey~ Do you want to accept the testimony and assessment of the three captains?"

Zaraki Kenpachi didn't wait for Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni to finish, and immediately said with eagerness.

Having served as the captain of the 11th Division in the Seireitei for such a long time, he could not be considered completely ignorant.

At the same time, the other Death God captains present were even more upset.

After all, how outrageous is this God of Death to be able to let the captain directly say that he does not approve of it?

Everyone imagined several names in their mind, but they were all crossed out.

Soon, most of the Death God captains present looked at each other, and only a few guessed the correct answer.

Zhanfeng, the captain of the second team, has a small brain and naturally cannot guess the answer, but there is no need for her to guess, because the door of the conference room was suddenly opened. Zhanfeng did not dare to think about it, and one simply did not think about it. The man who could not appear here appeared in front of all the Death Captains.

The moment she saw this man, Sui Bee clenched her fists, bit her lip tightly with her teeth, and her eyes instantly became crystal clear;

Zaraki Kenpachi, on the other hand, had his eyes shining and looked up to the sky laughing, he knew that this man would come back;

Unohana Retsu, who had been standing quietly next to the captain, smiling, quietly raised the corners of his mouth a few more arcs;

Aizen, who also maintained his usual gentle smile, was very cooperative and showed a slightly surprised expression like most of the other captains;

When Kyōraku Shunsui responded to the appearance of this man, a smile appeared on his lips that was completely expected;

As for Nirvana, under the mask, he has an expressionless face, but he has already begun to plan in his heart that after the meeting is over, he will go to this man to ask for some materials. The materials from ten years ago have long been used up;

The captains had different reactions, but they saw the man with his back to the sun, his head held high, one hand in his pocket, looking at the captains inside, and showing his bright smile,

"Captains, long time no see!"
