Chapter 245 Encounter! Who are you?

"The current captain of the 5th Division, Sosuke Aizen, was killed by the current captain of the 3rd Division, Aize."

"All captains of the Gotei 13 have been ordered to arrest Aize."

"The execution date of Rukia Kuchiki has been moved forward."

"The restrictions on Zanpakutō carried by all Shinigami in Seireitei have been lifted. All Shinigami are allowed to carry their swords anywhere in Seireitei."

When such news spread in Soul Society, everyone was shocked.

"Captain Ai killed Captain Aizen?"

"How is this possible?"

"The execution date of Rukia Kuchiki has been moved forward?"

"Knife Permit... Is this true?"

Many people who heard the news, whether they were Shinigami or not, fell into uncontrollable shock, causing the entire Soul Society to fall into noise and restlessness.

Especially the people from the third and fifth squads, when they heard the news from their captain, they either shouted that it was impossible or simply stayed there and fell into a state of confusion.

"How, how is it possible?"

In the Third Squad's barracks, Hinamori Momo, who accidentally fell asleep due to being too tired, stood up suddenly when she heard the news.

"This is impossible! Captain... How could Ai-kun kill Captain Aizen?"

Hinamori Momo couldn't believe what she heard.

But soon after she learned the news, the 10th Squad, a patrol guard, came to the 3rd Squad’s barracks and took everyone under control.

The leader was none other than the vice-captain of the 10th Division, Hitsugaya Toushirou.

He brought Matsumoto Rangiku, the third seat of the Tenth Squad, to the Third Squad's barracks and broke into the captain's office.

"…I'm sorry, Hinamori, from now on, this place will be under our supervision."

Hitsugaya Toshiro tried his best to speak in a businesslike tone and attitude, but he inevitably closed his eyes, unable to bear to look at Hinamori Momo's pale face.

"Xiaobai!" Hinamori Momo seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and ran towards Hitsugaya Toushirou, saying, "This must be a mistake, right?"

Hitsugaya Toushirou did not answer this question.

He also hoped that there was something wrong.

After all, Aize had guided him, and he certainly didn't want to see Aize become the public enemy of the Gotei 13.

pity……

"This is an order personally issued by the captain, Hinamori." Matsumoto Rangiku said reluctantly, "Captain Ai killed Captain Aizen. Many people saw it at the time, including people from other squads."

"Captain Aizen's body is now in the Fourth Division, and Captain Ai has simply fled in fear of his crime. There is still no news about him."

"I know you don't believe it, but it's true. Captains of several squads have been ordered to capture Captain Ai. I heard that the captain-in-chief is ready to take action personally at any time."

Hearing these words, Hinamori Momo trembled all over and almost collapsed to the ground.

"I don't believe it...I don't believe it..."

Hinamori Momo murmured with a pale face.

"Captain...how could Ai-jun do such a thing?"

This is what Hitsugaya Toushirou wanted to say.

He and Aize had some friendship, and he knew very well that the man was not someone who would kill others casually and commit a serious crime.

That person is not a good person, but if no one provokes him, he will never kill others casually.

Did Captain Aizen do something to that guy that caused him to lose control?

But hasn't Captain Aizen of the Fifth Division always been very gentle and amiable, and would never offend anyone easily?

"Hinamori." Hitsugaya Toushirou couldn't help but say, "You are Captain Ai's adjutant and the person closest to him. Before this, didn't you notice anything unusual?"

Hearing this, Hinamori Momo was stunned.

"abnormal……"

Her eyes flickered slightly.

If there are any abnormalities, then there are definitely some, and they are particularly obvious.

For example, before Rukia Kuchiki's crime was exposed, the captain seemed to have known about it and asked her to keep an eye on her whereabouts.

For example, when Rukia Kuchiki was arrested and taken to the prison of the Sixth Division, the captain seemed to know that she would be sentenced to death, and did some strange things to Rukia Kuchiki.

Later, the captain had an argument with the captain-general in the captain's meeting room, and was very concerned about the arrival of the trip and the current situation of Seireitei, or was well aware of it.

It was as if the development of all current events had not exceeded his expectations, as if he had seen through everything.

These behaviors are what Hitsugaya Toshiro calls abnormalities.

At that time, Hinamori Momo was already puzzled by Aize's various behaviors. Looking back now, she feels that Aize took certain actions, which led to his current situation, because he knew something in advance.

Thinking of this, Hinamori Momo couldn't sit still anymore.

"I'm going to find the captain!"

Hinamori Momo stood up again.

"No." Hitsugaya Toushirou refused, saying, "According to the captain's instructions, from this moment on, all the Shinigami in the third division must be monitored."

"Especially you, Vice Captain Hinamori. From this moment on, you are not allowed to leave the Third Squad's barracks."

Hinamori Momo was stunned.

"Matsumoto." Hitsugaya Toushirou didn't dare to look at Hinamori Momo's expression again. He turned around and said to Matsumoto Rangiku beside him: "I'll leave this to you."

"Yes." Matsumoto Rangiku nodded in acceptance.

Hitsugaya Toshiro left the office directly and even left the Third Division's barracks, but the Tenth Division's Shinigami surrounded the place and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

"Hinsen..."

Matsumoto Rangiku looked at Hinamori Momo who was standing there, and walked up to her and hugged her.

"Rangiku-sister." Hinamori Momo sobbed with tears in her eyes, "The captain must have some important reason to do such a thing."

"...I believe you." Matsumoto Rangiku hugged Hinamori Momo and said with a complicated expression: "Men are like this. They never tell people around them when they have something on their mind. They just act on their own and do things that are misunderstood. They don't even consider those of us who are worried about them."

Thinking of the man who always avoided her even after becoming her immediate superior, Matsumoto Rangiku could especially understand Hinamori Momo.

"What a bunch of bastards."

Matsumoto Rangiku started to curse, making Hinamori Momo's crying even more obvious.

Similar things happened in the Sixth and Thirteenth Divisions.

"What on earth is that bastard planning to do?"

Abarai Renji, who was originally anxious because Kuchiki Rukia's sentence was advanced, gritted his teeth, grabbed his Zanpakutō, and rushed out of the squad room.

"There must be something wrong here!"

Kira Izuru also didn't believe that Aize would do such a thing. If Ukitake Jushiro hadn't asked him to lead the team, he would have wanted to rush out to find Aize.

"What exactly is that bastard planning to do?" When Soi-Fong, who was looking for Black Cat, learned about this, she felt that she could not escape the blame.

If I could stop Aize and prevent him from leaving the Third Division's barracks, then Aizen Sosuke would not be killed, right?
Feeling that she had some responsibility, Soi Feng gritted her teeth, turned her head away angrily, stopped looking for the cat, and started tracking down Aize.

The other captains had different reactions after hearing the news, some were indifferent, some were incredulous, some changed their actions, and some insisted on staying at their posts, causing the entire Soul Society to fall into an atmosphere of impending storm.

At this time, Aize swaggered past the sky above Soul Society.

"Ugh!" "Uh-huh!" "Uh-huh!" "Uh-huh!" "Uh-huh!"...

With each use of the instant step, Aize's figure would rush forward a distance as if teleporting, and the speed was so fast that a faint sound of breaking through the air could be heard.

"Isn't it here?"

Landing on the top of a building, Aize held the hilt of his Zanpakuto tied at his waist with one hand, his eyes closed, as if sensing something.

“Not here either…”

Aize tried to sense in several directions, but found nothing.

"That guy is more shameless than me."

Aize opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Aize felt two strange spiritual pressures.

"Whose spiritual pressure is this?"

Aize was a little surprised.

These two spiritual pressures, one fluctuates unsteadily, when strong it is comparable to the captain level, when weak it is only at the level of the third or fourth seat, performing quite unstable; the other is extremely weak, but gives Aize a feeling that it cannot be underestimated, as if it is deliberately hiding something.

If it weren't for his outstanding ability to sense spiritual pressure, Aize would never have noticed the peculiarity of these two spiritual pressures.

"Shh!"

Immediately, Aize activated his flash step and flashed to the location of the spiritual pressure.

Not long after, Aize landed on the wall of a building and saw the real owners of the two spiritual pressures.

"That is……"

After seeing the full appearance of the holders of the two spiritual pressures, Aize was inevitably stunned.

It was a combination of a Grim Reaper and a black cat.

"Hey! Ishida! Chad! Inoue! Where are you?"

The Grim Reaper was running quickly on a road, shouting loudly as he ran, which forced people to pay attention to him and be attracted by his conspicuous orange hair and his overly exaggerated Zanpakuto.

"Idiot! You are a nuisance now! If you yell randomly you will attract the Gotei 13!"

The black cat that was following the orange-haired Grim Reaper and running at his feet scolded him, looking as if it was shocked by his actions.

"Then what can I do? There's no signal here! I can't send them a text message to call them over!"

"Who told you to let them run first? I told you guys not to get separated in Seireitei!"

"What else can I do? That bald guy and that sissy are blocking our way, and you said they are not something that ordinary people can deal with. Of course I have to let them run away first!"

"Can't you just run with them? It's not like we have to deal with them!"

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Mr. Yoruichi! How can you escape without knocking them down?"

"You little bastard..."

The man and the cat were quarreling while running quickly, constantly moving, as if they were avoiding the god of death around them.

"It's actually them?"

Aize finally understood why the two spiritual pressures were so strange.

Because the master of Reiatsu is very peculiar in himself.

Especially the orange-haired Grim Reaper. Aize stared at him for a while and suddenly smiled.

"Shh!"

The next second, Aize disappeared with a flash step, and when he reappeared, he was already behind the man and the cat, less than one meter away from them.

"------!"

The moment Aize appeared, both the orange-haired Grim Reaper and the black cat who could speak changed their expressions suddenly.

"Ichigo!"

The black cat screamed at the top of its lungs.

The orange-haired Shinigami didn't even think twice and directly grasped the hilt of the Zanpakutō behind him. While letting the bandages wrapped around the blade loosen, he slashed behind him without hesitation.

The exaggerated-looking Zanpakuto exuded chaotic spiritual pressure and slashed towards Aize violently, causing the whistling wind to blow Aize's bangs first.

"That's a really rough slash."

Aize simply raised his head slightly to avoid the rough cut of the Zanpakutō, causing the sharp wind from the blade to blow on his body.

The man and the cat then took the opportunity to jump a long distance and confront Aize.

"who are you?"

The orange-haired Grim Reaper stared at Aize, questioning him while feeling a chill in his heart.

For some reason, he felt that the person in front of him was particularly dangerous, extremely dangerous, the kind of terrifying existence that would make his instincts scream and make him subconsciously want to escape.

He had never felt this way before. No matter how powerful the Hollows were in the real world, or whether he met and became enemies with Byakuya Kuchiki, Renji Abarai and others, he had never been so fearful and terrified.

This is definitely the most terrifying, powerful, and unmatched existence among all the characters he has encountered so far!
This idea was soon confirmed.

"A boy wearing the third squad captain's haori...?!"

The black cat at the feet of the orange-haired Grim Reaper's pupils shrank and it cried out loudly.

"Run away! Ichigo! You must not fight him! You will die!"

Hearing the rare panicked cry of the black cat, the orange-haired Grim Reaper smiled with sweat on his face, as if trying to find a way to amuse himself.

"It seems like he's a very important person... Mr. Yoruichi, do you know who he is?"

Black Cat gave the answer to this question almost without hesitation.

"He is the captain of the Third Division and the most outstanding genius in the history of Soul Society. He has broken Soul Society records many times and achieved many incredible achievements!"

"He became the captain when he was less than 20 years old. He only spent half a year learning to become a Death God and was able to defeat the captain of the 11th Division. Now, decades later, he has become even more unfathomable!"

"Among the enemies we imagined, he is definitely one of the worst people to encounter. He is a person you can never defeat in the present!"

"Run! Run quickly! The farther the better! Don't fight him!"

"You'll die!"

As the black cat warned him in a way that sounded almost like a scream, the orange-haired Grim Reaper began to sweat more and more on his face.

Aize looked at the man and the cat, and a smile appeared on his face.
