Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 343 341. All is fair in war

Before setting off, Byakuya Kuchiki finally came to the dungeon where someone was sealed.

Kuchiki Hibiki, this person should be Byakuya Kuchiki's uncle in terms of seniority.

"This is the situation in Soul Society now. We have lost too much combat power.

The entire Soul Society can no longer withstand major turmoil."

Kuchiki Byakuya knew that this matter was difficult to talk about, but he had to admit the reality.

That is, Kuchiki Hibiki's Zanpakutō ability is very useful when dealing with Shinigami.

If not for this, when Kuchiki Hibiki took the initiative to bring the first generation captain's spirit back to Soul Society, he would not have been determined to be guilty by the Central Forty-Six Chambers at that time.

It was just that at that time, most of the nobles were still afraid of Kuchiki Hibiki's power.

"Haha. Is this your opinion, or the opinion of those noble masters?"

Kuchiki Hibiki raised his head and sneered.

From the day he was sealed by Byakuya Kuchiki himself, from the day he saw his wife being driven away by Byakuya Kuchiki and not allowed to come to see him for the rest of her life, Kuchiki Hibiki no longer considered himself a member of the nobility.

He was a commoner from Rukongai, and he was, and he is even more so now.

Now, he has chains nailed to his back, arms, and legs.

His Zanpakutō is also sealed.

It can be said that Byakuya Kuchiki has no mercy on Kuchiki Hibiki.

And this is right in Byakuya Kuchiki's eyes.

An excellent head of a family should put his family first when faced with a disagreement between personal and family interests.

At that time, the existence of Kuchiki Hibiki had seriously affected the status of their Kuchiki family among the nobles.

If Byakuya Kuchiki did not do this, those wavering, and even some nobles who were originally loyal to their Kuchiki family, would turn to the Tsunayashiro family, which still existed at that time, because of Kuchiki Hibiki.

Even after the Tsunayashiro family was massacred by Higashino Hideichi overnight, there was still a Shihoin family in Soul Society that inherited the Tsunayashiro family's legacy.

For the sake of the Kuchiki family, Byakuya Kuchiki had to do this.

And now, it is the same to let go, or even "condescend" to come here and ask for help from Kuchiki Hibiki.

If their Kuchiki family can perform well in this war against Aizen Sosuke.

Then the status of the Kuchiki family will rise.

It is not impossible to overshadow the Shihoin family in one fell swoop.

"It belongs to those nobles, and it is also mine.

Such a choice is the best way to preserve the combat effectiveness of Soul Society.

Otherwise, Soul Society will be consumed and broken by the enemy one by one.

When everything happens, it will be too late."

Byakuya Kuchiki said slowly.

He even mentioned a name that made Kuchiki Hibiki's heart clench.

That was the name of Byakuya Kuchiki's aunt, who was also Kuchiki Hibiki's wife.

"I'm telling you, Byakuya, I promised you this time, not for your Kuchiki family, nor for this damn Soul Society.

I only did it for her!"

Kuchiki Hibiki believed it.

Compared to the nobles in Soul Society, Aizen Sosuke, who framed so many Shinigami, is indeed less of a good guy.

This is a world of rottenness.

But in Kuchiki Hibiki's cognition, Aizen Sosuke is worse than those noble lords in Soul Society who just eat and eat.

So Kuchiki Hibiki followed Kuchiki Byakuya and left the Kuchiki family's residence.

Dragging his broken and exhausted body, he joined up with Hitsugaya Toshiro, the new captain of the 9th Division who came over and took over the original Tosen Yamashita's duties.

And the three captain-level Shinigami fought with Ichimaru Gin at the west gate of Seireitei.

Divine Spear, Divine Killing Spear.

These abilities were originally the abilities of Gin Ichimaru's Zanpakutō, and Byakuya Kuchiki and the others, except for the new captain Hitsugaya Toushirou, were very clear and familiar with them.

After all, both Byakuya Kuchiki and Hibiki Kuchiki had experienced the dark period shrouded by the shadow of Higashino Shuichi.

All these abilities of Gin Ichimaru were used when he fought against Higashino Shuichi.

This time Byakuya Kuchiki was very ambitious and wanted to capture Gin Ichimaru alive.

That's why he created such a big three-person team.

Otherwise, according to Byakuya Kuchiki's judgment, he alone, together with Hitsugaya Toushirou, two captain-level Shinigami together, would be enough to force Gin Ichimaru into a dead end.

But it is obvious that only the result is considered.

At least this time, Byakuya Kuchiki miscalculated.

Gin Ichimaru's Divine Spear is still the Divine Spear, and the Divine Killing Spear is indeed still the Divine Killing Spear.

Only the gray floating around the blade of Ichimaru Gin's Zanpakutō is not the original power of Ichimaru Gin's Zanpakutō.

More like.

"The Zanpakutō power of Rangiku Matsumoto, the former vice-captain of the 10th Division"

Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly thought that after the last defection of Aizen Sosuke, there seemed to be rumors that Rangiku Matsumoto's Zanpakutō power disappeared.

It is said that Rangiku Matsumoto can no longer use her Zanpakutō to perform any operations related to the release of Zanpakutō.

Even if the Zanpakutō Shikai is completed, Rangiku Matsumoto may not be able to complete it in her current state.

Did Ichimaru Gin use some special method to absorb the power of Rangiku Matsumoto?

Byakuya Kuchiki could only think of such a reasonable explanation.

After all, Byakuya Kuchiki is still only a captain of the 6th Division who has seen a little bit of the world.

For example, Gin Ichimaru once separated a part of his soul to save the young Rangiku Matsumoto at that time, so that Rangiku Matsumoto would not die so quickly.

Such a thing, even if Byakuya Kuchiki had a hundred minds, he could not imagine it.

Even if he heard it, Byakuya Kuchiki would not believe that there is such a stupid god of death in this world unless he saw it with his own eyes.

He actually gave part of his pure soul for an ordinary little girl.

In this regard, if Gin Ichimaru could hear Byakuya Kuchiki's voice, he would definitely tell the latter.

"No, it's just because you don't understand what Rangiku means to me!"

That is, when Gin Ichimaru had lost the desire to explore the value and meaning of life, the appearance of Rangiku Matsumoto made Gin Ichimaru regain the desire to live.

It seems that at that time, for Gin Ichimaru, protecting this poor girl who shared the same fate as him and allowing her to eat a few delicious dried persimmons every day was Gin Ichimaru's greatest pursuit.

Of course, it is still the case now.

Gin Ichimaru knew that now, after obtaining the complete Hogyoku, Aizen was no longer the Aizen who had the opportunity to kill him according to the original plan.

So he needed new power.

And this time, he was targeting the part of Matsumoto Rangiku that originally belonged to his own soul.

Gin Ichimaru succeeded, but what he waited for in Hueco Mundo was not the opportunity to get close to Aizen.      Instead, he was "exiled" to Soul Society by Aizen as a chess piece to contain.

The reason given by Aizen was that he was very strong and had the ability to contain most of the combat power of the Death Gods in Soul Society as a Shinigami.

This reason is mostly commendatory, but for Gin Ichimaru, it is absolutely derogatory.

So it turns out that being too powerful is not okay?

"But if I succeed in this mission, maybe I can further gain Aizen's trust."

Ichimaru Gin could only comfort himself in this way.

Little did he know that he could never gain half of Aizen's trust.

Because Aizen knew very well from the beginning the purpose of Ichimaru Gin approaching him.

But it must be said that Aizen was still very caring for Ichimaru Gin, who he had raised for so many years and was about to cultivate.

Aizen knew that if he followed Higashino Shuichi to deal with Urahara Kisuke, and the Ten Espadas of the past, there would definitely be very few left.

It's not that Aizen didn't trust Higashino Shuichi, but that Aizen trusted Urahara Kisuke too much.

He was sure that with Urahara Kisuke's ability, it would be easy to deal with some small fish.

And Ichimaru Gin was in the category of small fish classified by Aizen.

In fact, after Ichimaru Gin took back the part of his soul from Matsumoto Rangiku and replenished his own soul, his strength, even if placed in the entire Gotei 13, is a captain-level Shinigami who can be ranked in the forefront.

But the difficulty is that the objects that Aizen used for comparison are Shinigami of the level of Higashino Shuichi, Urahara Kisuke, Yhwach and the members of the Zero Division.

Compared with these existences, Ichimaru Gin is still a little bit away.

So Aizen gave Ichimaru Gin such a seemingly reasonable task, so that Ichimaru Gin would not have to follow him to intervene in the war in the present world.

Before setting this task, Aizen did not expect Ichimaru Gin to really delay for a long time.

In Aizen's mind, the battle between him and Urahara Kisuke would not take much time at all. As long as Ichimaru Gin could continue, then Ichimaru Gin's mission would be completed.

But Ichimaru Gin unexpectedly won.

Even though the price was high, Ichimaru Gin lost an eye.

But it was all worth it!

He defeated Byakuya Kuchiki and Hibiki Kuchiki.

Similar scenes also occurred in other places in Soul Society.

When Tosen Kaname, the former captain of the 13th Division of the Soul Society, who had been declared dead by the Soul Society and was about to be cremated, appeared in front of those Death Gods.

These Death Gods were terrified.

They didn't understand why Tosen Kaname appeared.

They didn't understand how Tosen Kaname's strength had increased so much in just a few days.

They only knew that they would die facing the current Tosen Kaname!

"Haven't you contacted Shunsui yet?"

Sitting in the 1st Division's barracks in Soul Society, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto wanted Vice Captain Nagajiro Suzuho to bring Kyoraku Shunsui over to discuss countermeasures together.

But he was told that Captain Kyoraku had already left Soul Society.

And leaving with Kyoraku Shunsui were Ukitake Jushiro, the captain of the 13th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division, and Yoruichi Shihoin, the current captain of the 4th Division.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's first reaction after hearing the news was the same as Kyoraku Shunsui's.

Oh no, this is coming for them!

But this is not the worst news, after all, this is only Tosen Kaname.

No matter how strong Tosen Kaname becomes, it is not so strong that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni feels a little worried about him.

What really moved Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was the news brought to him by Jigoku Butterfly.

Kyōraku Shunsui died in the battle, Ukitake Jushiro is also dying, and Shihouin Yoruichi may follow in their footsteps.

In this message, Ukitake Jushiro briefly described the overall situation in the world to Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni.

And his evaluation of Urahara Kisuke and Yhwach, who had just woken up.

"Urahara Kisuke has extraordinary wisdom and research and development capabilities. In time, he will become a height that our 12th Division Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi cannot reach;

Yhwach has completely changed his bad habits from a thousand years ago.

The current Yhwach is not only extremely powerful, but even Urahara Kisuke may not be able to defeat him."

Finally, at the end of the message, on the wings of the Hell Butterfly.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni finally saw a string of suggestions left by Ukitake Jushiro.

"Higashino. Shuichi?"

For some reason, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's mind suddenly emerged with the scene of him fighting with Higashino Shuichi that day.

It also emerged that day when he came to the Tsunayashiro family with the support of Kenpachi Zaraki, and witnessed the whole process of Higashino Shuichi killing the head of the Tsunayashiro family.

This is a death god that is difficult to control once released.

If before seeing this message, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni would definitely not take the next action, but after reading this message.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni still hesitated.

Until that man, "arrived as promised."

It was Aizen Sosuke.

When he appeared in the Soul Society, it was just when Higashino Shuichi and Urahara Kisuke were fighting fiercely and about to end.

People who know the business may have seen it.

Aizen had already seen the outcome of the battlefield over there, so he chose to come to the Soul Society in person.

Was he exiled to the West Shokubu?

Judging from the result, yes.

But judging from the process, Aizen took the initiative to accept it.

While Higashino Hideichi was calculating Aizen, wasn't Aizen also calculating Higashino Hideichi?

Since Higashino Hideichi could use himself as a knife, Aizen felt that he didn't need to be polite. He took advantage of the great opportunity created by Urahara Kisuke to leave the battlefield, and then saw through all the cards of Urahara Kisuke and Higashino Hideichi.

Higashino Hideichi and Urahara Kisuke will definitely have a big fight.

Aizen could see this from Higashino Hideichi's undisguised targeting.

So this is called war is not too tiring.

But Aizen thought that this time there should not be a real victory or defeat between Higashino Hideichi and Urahara Kisuke, and the final result would most likely be that Urahara Kisuke would run away again, and Higashino Hideichi would return disappointed.

At the last moment, the power used by Urahara Kisuke and Higashino Hideichi was so strong that even Aizen felt palpitations from afar.

If he wasn't afraid that he would be discovered by these two people after the fight, Aizen might have stayed until the end.

But it didn't make much difference anyway.

At least that's what Aizen thought.

"As for now, I'll play with you guys again!"

Aizen stood above the Soul Society, his mouth curled up.
