When Abarai Renji officially declared war on Byakuya Kuchiki, the other captains also took action.

For example, Komamura Sajin and Tosen Kaname, when Kuchiki Byakuya attacked Aize but was stopped by Abarai Renji, the two of them took a step forward and prepared to rush towards Aize.

But in front of them, someone also stood up and stopped them.

Moreover, these two people were colleagues who had just stood with them.

"Captain Kyōraku? Captain Ukitake?"

"…What are you planning to do?"

Komamura Satsuki made a sound of surprise, while Tosen Yao beside him directly questioned him with a very serious expression.

The people standing in front of the two men were none other than Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro.

"I'm sorry, both of you." Kyoraku Shunsui took off his straw raincoat and smiled at the two of them, saying, "It's very lively over there right now, we should not disturb them, what do you think?"

Ukitake Jushiro did not say a word, but stood up silently, fully demonstrating his will.

"What do you mean?"

Komamura Sajin's expression changed immediately.

"Have you fallen as well? Captain Kyōraku! Captain Ukitake!"

Tosen Kaname held his Zanpakutō tightly, looking betrayed.

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro looked at each other and then spoke one after another.

"We have some things that need to be verified."

"Before that, let's not act rashly."

As they talked, they couldn't help but think of the message they found in their own team dormitory two days ago.

The messages they received were different.

"Aizen Sosuke is not dead yet."

This was the message Kyoraku Shunsui received.

"Rukia Kuchiki has been drawn into the conspiracy."

This is the message that Ukitake Jushiro received.

These two messages were naturally left by Aize.

He knew who would choose to believe in him and who would not, so while waiting for the day of execution, he left messages in the barracks of the 8th and 13th squads respectively.

Of course, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro did not believe it directly, but they were also half-believing and half-doubting.

Unlike the other captains, these two had already begun to have some suspicions about Rukia's execution when Aize explained the various anomalies encountered over the past hundred years in the captain's meeting room.

In addition, Rukia was a Shinigami who was not even a chief judge, but she was sentenced to such a heavy punishment as double execution, and the execution date was abnormally advanced. All these signs made the two people suspicious and suspected that there might be some inside story that others did not know.

But at that time, they had not taken any action.

It was not until Aize suddenly attacked Aizen for no reason, and when the two met, he directly stated that he was going for Aizen, that the suspicion in Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro's hearts suddenly reached its peak.

So, after receiving Aize’s message, their behavior became suspicious.

Because they are using their own methods to verify whether these things are true.

Kyoraku Shunsui went to the 4th Division's barracks and paid attention to Unohana Retsu's examination results on the corpse.

Ukitake Jushiro went to the Palace of Confession and, with the permission of Byakuya Kuchiki, had face-to-face conversations with Rukia several times.

Combined with other actions, the two actually found some suspicious areas.

So, the two of them were here today not to watch the execution, but to temporarily save Rukia.

But before the two of them took action, Aize appeared first, causing the situation to become chaotic.

Realizing that this was a good opportunity, the two naturally didn't mind intervening to prevent Komamura Satsuki and Tosen from affecting the development of the situation.

Komamura Satsuki and Tosen Kaname, who were unaware of all this, naturally would not compromise.

"As captains, how could you sit back and watch the judgment of justice being destroyed?" Tosen was the first to attack, and said with a stern face: "Are you still captains of the Gotei 13 like this?"

"This is not the situation that the captain-general wants to see." Komamura Sajin said bluntly: "I hope you can think carefully before taking action."

Hearing this, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro did not move at all and still stood in front of the two men.

"In that case..."

Komamura Sajin suddenly became angry and slowly drew out his Zanpakutō, releasing his spiritual pressure.

“Get out of the way!”

Dongxian Yao even rushed out directly.

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro immediately drew their Zanpakutō and faced the two captains, engaging them in combat.

"This is where things get interesting."

Gin Ichimaru looked at the four captains who suddenly turned against each other and started fighting each other, and he laughed for a moment, not knowing whether he was gloating or finding joy in the misfortune.

He also drew out his Zanpakutō, holding the hilt with both hands, with the tip of the blade pointed in the direction of Aize, as if preparing to launch a sneak attack on him with the divine spear.

"…I advise you not to do this, Captain Ichimaru."

A slightly childish voice suddenly sounded behind Gin Ichimaru, causing his squinting eyes to open slightly.

"Isn't this Vice Captain Hitsugaya?" Ichimaru Gin turned around, looked at the familiar man behind him, and smiled meaningfully: "I remember you were chasing the fleeing Vice Captain of the Third Division, right? What's the point of appearing here now?"

"Are you talking about Hinamori?" Hitsugaya Toushirou appeared behind Ichimaru Gin at some point, staring closely at his captain, pointing in a direction, and said, "She's over there."

Gin Ichimaru looked in the direction of the sound and saw a chaotic battlefield.

At this time, not only were the captains of each team fighting each other, but the vice-captains present were also fighting fiercely.

The vice-captain of the 8th Division, Ise Nanao, is fighting against the vice-captain of the 7th Division, Sheba Tetsuzaemon, and the vice-captain of the 13th Division, Kira Izuru, is fighting against the vice-captain of the 9th Division, Hisagi Shuhei. The battle is very fierce.

Especially the latter, the two had encountered the same incident when they were students at the Shinō Spiritual Academy and had a connection. Now that their positions have become different, they both tacitly want to stop the other, so after a fruitless negotiation, they started fighting and were about to release their Zanpakutō.

The second squad's vice-captain, Oomaeda Kichiyo, seemed to have gone over to help under Soi-Fong's order, but was stopped by Matsumoto Rangiku who appeared out of nowhere.

Under such circumstances, Hinamori Momo rushed up to the Double Killing Hill with instant step. After seeing Aize, she looked so happy that she cried. When she was about to rush to the opponent, she was stopped by the vice-captain of the first team, Chojiro Suzuki.

The vice-captains of each team started fighting. Although the battle was not as intense as that of the captains, it made the scene even more chaotic.

Ichimaru Gin couldn't help but glance at Matsumoto Rangiku who was fighting with the second squad's vice-captain Omaeda Kichiyo, and then pretended to sigh and spoke helplessly to Hitsugaya Toushirou.

"That means you have switched sides to the other side, right?"

The person in front of him was his adjutant, but he stood up to block him. Gin Ichimaru never thought that he would receive the same treatment as Byakuya Kuchiki.

“…When I found her, she was crying.”

Hitsugaya Toushirou was silent for a while, then spoke irrelevantly.

"Although she has always been prone to tears, this time is different."

"Because we are childhood sweethearts, I know that the bed-wetting Tao is really anxious this time."

"To her, Captain Ai is special and different, and even I can see that."

As he spoke, Hitsugaya Toshiro slowly drew out the Zanpakuto from his back.

"I'm sorry, Captain Ichimaru, but I have to help my childhood friend this time."

These words made the smile on Ichimaru Gin's face fade a little.

"Childhood sweetheart...?"

Ichimaru Gin glanced in the direction of Matsumoto Rangiku again, and a complex look flashed across his eyes as they narrowed into slits.

"That's right, you have to protect your childhood sweetheart yourself." Ichimaru Gin didn't know whether he was talking to Hitsugaya Toushirou or to himself, and said: "But, can you protect your childhood sweetheart in front of a powerful enemy that you can't defeat?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro was unable to understand the deeper meaning in Ichimaru Gin's words. He raised his Zanpakutō and spoke with a serious expression.

"Indeed, you are a strong enemy, but I am not completely without growth."

A cold chill began to emanate from Hitsugaya Toushirou's body.

"I won't lose easily this time."

In response to Hitsugaya Toshiro's declaration, Ichimaru Gin smiled silently and released his spiritual pressure.

The two of them confronted each other at first, just like when they were competing for the position of captain of the tenth squad, and then ran out together and collided with each other.

At the same time, Soi-Fong also encountered someone who tried to stop her.

Her emotions have been very unstable in recent times, so after Aize appeared and defeated the two assassins, she wanted to attack Aize directly like Byakuya Kuchiki.

But just as she took a step, a figure stopped her at alarming speed, causing her face to twist.

"Hey, long time no see, Soi-Fong."

An exotic beauty wearing a tight outfit that allowed for easy movement stood in front of Soi-Fong.

Those words without any sense of tension and the familiar voice, face and appearance made Soi-Fong pinch her hands until they bled.

"Four! Feng! Yuan! Ye! Yi!"

Soi-Fong called out the name word by word, as if she was spitting out the emotions that had accumulated in her heart for more than a hundred years.

"You're welcome." Shifengyuan Yoruichi said with a bold and fearless smile on his face, "You always called me Master Yoruichi before."

"You are no longer worthy of this title!" Broken Bee said loudly, as if she wanted to bite her teeth and break them: "After all, you are just a traitor who abandoned others!"

"I can't refute that." Shifengyuan Yoruichi calmly accepted Soi-Fong's rebuke and said, "So what? What do you want to say to a traitor like me? Tell me about it."

"Of course I have nothing to say to traitors." Shattered Bee suppressed her emotions and said coldly: "I have always done this to traitors."

Soi-Fong pulled out her Zanpakutō and released it immediately.

"kill!"

Carrying many years of emotions, Soi-Feng rushed towards Yoruichi Shifengyuan and started a fight with her...
