Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 3.3. Tosen Kaname, Join
The process of persuading Tosen Kaname was very simple, so simple that Higashino Shuichi was a little worried for Aizen. Could this guy be faking his surrender?

To summarize in Higashino Shuichi's own words, when Tosen met Aizen, felt the immense spiritual pressure emanating from Aizen that he deliberately didn't hide, and heard Aizen's grand ideal of changing the corrupt Soul Society, which was no less than Wakakura's, he "cried his eyes out" and shouted, "Take me with you!"

That's why people say Tosen Kaname was an idealist until his death.

From beginning to end, he was fighting for his close friend Ge Kuang's elusive dream.

He even gave up on himself for this, but ultimately failed on the road to realizing his dream.

"If love exists in this world, the first one should be the love between Tosen Kaname and Kagami, which began as friendship but transcends life itself."

Standing in the corner of the room, Higashino Shuichi silently watched "Aizen Tames Tosen Kaname.avi" and sighed to himself.

However, subduing Tosen Kaname was somewhat expected; the most troublesome thing at this stage is the Asauchi sword in Tosen Kaname's possession.

"Yes, now that you're a comrade, there's one thing I want you to tell me truthfully: where did you get that asagi in your hand?"

After Aizen and Tosen Kaname finished their conversation, Higashino Shuichi came to their side, looked at Tosen Kaname, and asked with a serious expression.

As a time traveler, Higashino Shuichi naturally knew the origin of this Asauchi sword, but for now, he had to pretend not to know, which was in line with his current identity.

"This is something I took from Ge Kuang; I hope to inherit her will and dreams!"

Tosen answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Higashino Shuichi gasped and turned to Aizen. "According to regulations, the asauchi of dead Shinigami are collected by a special department. If what you're saying is true, then I think the higher-ups should have found out about this by now."

At this point, Higashino Shuichi turned to look at Tosen Kaname again, "And unauthorized possession of asauchi is a capital offense according to Soul Society law."

As soon as the word "death penalty" was uttered, Higashino Shuichi saw Tosen Kaname unconsciously tighten his grip on Asahi's hands.

"I will not hand over the shallow attack of Gekuang. This is my bottom line. Even if it means death, I will not!"

Tosen answered decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

"This is troublesome."

Higashino Shuichi looked at Aizen for help.

He naturally knew how to solve the problem, but as an excellent subordinate, he knew he should give the spotlight to his boss.

"Tomorrow you will take 'Yasu' to see Kyoraku Shunsui of the Eighth Division, and then have 'Yasu' tell the whole story truthfully."

As expected, Aizen already had the answer.

Today's verdict from the Central 46th Chamber was unlikely to satisfy Kyoraku Shunsui, and Tosen Kaname is just a commoner. If they could gain some goodwill from Kyoraku Shunsui, it would definitely be a worthwhile deal for the Central 46th Chamber.

After all, every Shinigami who can become a captain represents a significant force in the Soul Society.

Therefore, on the morning of the second day, Higashino Shuichi brought Tosen Kaname to the Eighth Division barracks.

The whole process was as easy as Aizen had predicted last night. Kyoraku Shunsui felt deep sympathy for Tosen Kaname's plight and expressed his understanding.

Before the Central 46th Bureau could launch an attack on Tousen, he had already revealed Tousen's deeds to the authorities.

Surprisingly, the Central 46th Bureau's attitude was remarkably unified this time.

No problem, absolutely no problem!
Since it only involves ordinary people, not to mention that Kyoraku Shunsui made concessions, stipulating that Tosen Kaname must enter the Shinigami Academy to study, which is equivalent to patching up the origin of the Asauchi sword in Tosen Kaname's hands.

Afterwards, no one could find anything wrong with it.

Thus, this major event, which should have shaken the entire Soul Society, was resolved perfectly and quietly. Tosen was to enter the Shinigami Academy, and Higashino Shuichi's life returned to normal.
"Yamada Seinosuke, how many times have I told you? You can't beat me anyway, so what's the point of you challenging me so diligently?"

Looking at the cold, grim figure standing in his lounge, Higashino Shuichi felt a headache coming on.

"Vice Captain Higashino, I believe that the main responsibility of our Fourth Division is to save people. Therefore, we cannot be like other divisions, where strength is the only factor. Instead, we should look at a Shinigami's ability to recover. If you insist on fighting me and refuse to test your ability to recover, then, with all due respect, you are not worthy of being in our Fourth Division! The Eleventh Division might be a better place for you."

"I am neither humble nor arrogant," said Seinosuke Yamada.

"Fine, then you'd better try to convince the captain. If Captain Unohana agrees, I'll agree to your challenge too!"

"I can only say this helplessly," said Higashino Shuichi.

This is also his consistent response to Yamada Seinosuke every time.

He could never understand why Yamada Seinosuke would keep challenging him so persistently, even though he always managed to shut him down with the same reason.

But today, he understood.

"The captain has agreed!"

"See? The captain still waited! What did you just say?!"

Higashino Shuichi was starting to lose his composure. Had he just been hallucinating?
Would Retsu Unohana be the kind of person to agree to such a request?

Don't let her seemingly intellectual and mature image fool you; she's actually the first Kenpachi, the strongest swordsman in Soul Society. Would someone like that agree with the theory that Vice-Captain Seinosuke Yamada only needs to be good at talking?!

Hideichi Higashino doesn't believe this conclusion at all.

But Yamada Seinosuke would never lie to him about something like this, which means that Unohana Retsu must have really agreed to Yamada Seinosuke's request.

So, what's the reason?

In an instant, Higashino Shuichi broke out in a cold sweat.

"Could it be that my secret extraction of the spirit particles from the injured Shinigami and my giving them to Aizen has been discovered?"

"No, impossible! If that were the case, it wouldn't be Yamada Seinosuke who came; it would have to be Unohana Retsu himself, perhaps even accompanied by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni."

"That will be when I understand."

Higashino Shuichi's brain quickly went through a brainstorming session, and he soon figured out the key points.

The truth is that Retsu Unohana vaguely sensed that the physical condition of the Shinigami who had been treated by Shuichi Higashino was slightly off, but she was not quite sure of the specific reason. So she simply found a suitable reason to take Shuichi Higashino away first in order to minimize the risk.

Seinosuke Yamada happened to be a suitable candidate.

Having figured these things out, Higashino Shuichi knew that he most likely couldn't keep his position as vice-captain.

If something were to happen to him at this time, Aizen would definitely not come to his aid. Instead, he might even silence him to prevent him from revealing more information.

He'll be caught in the middle, pleasing neither side.

"I understand. How about we hold the competition for the return route tomorrow?"

This time, whether from the heart or from reason, Higashino Shuichi wore a bitter smile.
