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

Chapter 79, Section 78: Open the door, and go to hell!
A light rain was falling outside the window.

This was the first rain of spring in Soul Society. Higashino Shuichi sat alone in his living room in the second ward of West Rukongai, silent.

He had already spoken to Retsu Unohana about it.

Thanks to Higashino Shuichi's increasing resilience (and stamina), Unohana Retsu has found a whole new kind of fun in Higashino Shuichi, and she always tries to kill him in different ways.

Therefore, Retsu Unohana is becoming more and more relaxed about Shuichi Higashino. Apart from still not allowing Shuichi Higashino to start a family and become a captain on his own, it is not difficult for Shuichi Higashino to get some extra leave.

However, when Higashino Shuichi asked for leave yesterday, Unohana Retsu's special addition, "I'll wait for you to come back," seemed to be setting a flag for Higashino Shuichi.

Higashino Shuichi had already explained the reason for Aizen's actions beforehand.

But Aizen's attitude really surprised Higashino Shuichi.

"You want to go to hell?"

"Yes, Lord Aizen, I want to hone my skills there."

"You're still too hasty, both towards the nobles and yourself."

"Perhaps it's just my personality, Lord Aizen."

"Okay, then you go ahead. Gin Ichimaru recently applied to join the team, and I was thinking of asking you to come along."

"Never mind, Lord Aizen. For now, it's best for me to keep my distance from you, especially in front of Gin Ichimaru."

"up to you."

"Um, Lord Aizen, those imprisoned in Hell are mostly Shinigami or Hollows with excessively strong spiritual pressure."

"Ok, I know."

"With my abilities, it would be quite difficult for me to survive inside."

"Yes, Shuichi, you know I have high hopes for you, always have."

"."

Thus, the plan to dye wool with indigo was declared a failure.

Higashino Shuichi originally thought that Aizen would at least give him some boost with the Hogyoku, considering how hard he had worked for him for so many years.

It's just intangibility, right? With the Hogyoku in hand and having already collected so much experimental data from the Kasumi family, how difficult is it to intangify oneself?
As a result, Aizen remained unmoved, clearly wanting to see Higashino Shuichi perform on his own.

Besides these, the rest of the Shinigami, such as Matsumoto Rangiku, Soi Fon, Kisaragi Shusuke, Ichimaru Gin, Mukkaru Kensei, Shihouin Yoruichi, Gin Ginjiro, Sato Yoko, and others, who had a fairly good relationship with Higashino Shuichi, were all dismissed by Higashino Shuichi with the clumsy excuse that "the Soul Society is so big, I want to go and see it by myself."

Because Hell is ultimately an unknown place, even with the Kabuto family's divine artifact and the infinite regeneration of the Soul King's fingernail fragments as a safety net, Higashino Shuichi couldn't guarantee how long he would stay there or whether anything unexpected would happen.

For him, the danger was never about how to get to hell. Even if the Kabuto family wasn't what it is today, but instead the Tsuna Yayo family at its peak, Higashino Shuichi was confident he could get a ticket to hell.

It's nothing more than being a lackey again and switching allegiances to the boss once more; he knows this tricks inside and out.

For Shuichi Higashino, the danger and uncertainty always stemmed from how he could accomplish his predetermined goals in hell and then escape unscathed.

According to Kabuto Sayaka, the girl who knelt on the ground beneath the Kabuto family's house, Maki Kurato was able to go to Hell because he possessed a faint fragment of the Spirit King within him. However, Maki Kurato couldn't even stay there for half a day before fleeing back in a sorry state. The reason he was able to borrow the power of Hell was because a Hollow had left a mark on his body there.

However, according to the Kabuto family's original plan, in order to truly release the sins in Hell back to Soul Society in the form of spirit particles through the medium of the Shinigami, they needed to...

The best course of action would actually be to defeat that sinner in hell, and then, with the power of the Kabuto family's sacred weapon, the Zanpakuto Seimei Basa, to inscribe a divine mark similar to a vow on his body.

In this way, the power from hell will not be as violent, uncontrollable, and extremely aggressive as that of Maki Kurato.

Upon hearing this, Higashino Shuichi knew he had been taken advantage of, because regardless of whether he made that request or not, the Zanpakuto Seimei Basa would ultimately end up in his hands.

The only difference is whether, after returning from hell, he will return the World-Miyasa to Masayako, just like Masayako did.

Because of her forced communication with Hell, Kabuto Asayako's body has long been entangled by the power of Hell, making her unable to move freely. She might pass away at any time. If Higashino Shuichi really doesn't return the money, it's not a big problem.

However, Higashino Shuichi was not shameless enough to back out on the spot. In any case, he had already achieved his goal, and whether there were any additional gains was irrelevant.

Breathe a long sigh of relief.

Higashino Shuichi looked at the Zanpakuto placed in front of him, which resembled a carving knife, and sighed.

Without a doubt, this is an extremely special Zanpakuto; in fact, Higashino Shuichi believes it shouldn't even be described as a Zanpakuto.

Thinking of the other two Soul Society artifacts whose information has been revealed, the Ise family's Eight Mirrors Sword and the Tsuna Yayo family's Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, both Zanpakuto passed down through generations, are not limited to any particular owner and each has its own unique strengths.

Do the other noble families, who are also among the five great noble families, possess similar magical artifacts?
Higashino Shuichi grasped the Semi-bosha in his left hand; it was too early for him to consider this question now.

The process of communicating with the world is very simple, perhaps because it was explained to him beforehand.

"Crossing to the other shore of this world, the world is still in samsara!"

As Higashino Shuichi's voice fell, the Shimi Bosatsu in his left palm bloomed like a flower, and the silver petals that flew out transformed into the outline of a door in front of Higashino Shuichi.

The only knife hilt left in Higashino Shuichi's hand is the handle of this door.

With just a gentle push, the door would open for Higashino Shuichi.

If it's a normal initial release, then there's no need for Higashino Shuichi to open the door himself; those past beings who made contracts with Seimei Basa will come out on their own to fight for Seimei Basa's master.

Furthermore, these past existences do not need to exist now; it is sufficient that they left traces in the past.

If a more vivid metaphor is needed, then Higashino Hideichi believes that the word "heroic spirit" is the most appropriate way to describe it.

Unfortunately, it seems that this summoning comes at a price.

Whether it's communicating with heroic spirits, summoning them to fight, or sustaining their combat efforts, all of these require the user's lifespan as a price.

This is exactly the same as the Zanpakuto "Kyuten Kagami-dani" of the Tsuna-yayo family.

Fortunately, while heroic spirits need to pay a price in terms of lifespan to come over, Higashino Shuichi does not.
