Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 230 Chapter 229: Civil strife

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

Almost everyone present showed a surprised expression at the same time.

"Captain Unohana, do you really understand what you are talking about?"

Kyoraku Shunsui rubbed his chin fiercely, and the light in his eyes became empty and subtle.

The captain of the Eighth Division always prefers to compromise, and under normal circumstances, he would never speak in such a questioning tone.

And nowadays we can do this.

The judgment is based on cautious considerations.

"I suspect that my colleagues in Team 13 are carrying out internal persecution. As for our reputation outside, that's another matter... The most important thing is the current problem."

After a pause, Ukitake Jushiro next to him took over the conversation.

"The suspect... there is no clear candidate yet, right?"

Unohana Retsu closed his eyes and nodded slowly.

"Yes."

This is indeed where the problem lies.

If it is confirmed that this incident was an act within Team 13, then until the matter is concluded, the remaining twelve people will not be able to escape the suspicion of murder.

What should I do then?
Should we start an internal fight before finding the murderer?

Not far away, Aizen Sosuke frowned and pushed his glasses up uneasily.

"That really has become a rather tricky matter."

Ginhan Ichimaru turned his head and spoke in an uncertain tone.

"I heard that a similar invasion had happened before? It seemed that a captain had been attacked by unknown people?"

It can be said that Ichimaru Gin's intention was very clear. It was the battle in which Rokuguruma Kensei was almost defeated by Arima Shizuya.

It's just that since the person involved is not a participant, he can only speak in a more roundabout tone.

In response to Ichimaru Gin's question, Kyoraku Shunsui answered it almost instantly.

"Not very likely."

A simple analysis will make you understand the reason.

"Captain Arima showed no signs of struggle, which means he was brutally murdered without any resistance."

Someone you trust, or a surprise attack without any resistance.

"In comparison, since the guy who was able to fight Captain Liuche at the beginning was unwilling to show his face in public, I guess his ability must not be that strong..."

If it were an opponent, even if Arima Shizuka was injured, she should not have been taken down so easily.

"Besides, I don't think Captain Arima would know that guy and have any connection with someone of unknown origin."

To sum up, the probability of the other party being a suspect is very small.

Ukitake Jushiro coughed twice lightly and expressed his opinion.

"But... we can't rule out the possibility that the guy might develop an offline organization, right?"

After a subtle silence, Kyoraku Shunsui closed his eyes helplessly.

"Well, so this is the problem that is giving me a headache."

The enemy is in darkness and we are in the light.

Not sure about the other party's background.

I don't know what the other team's lineup is.

It is even impossible to be sure whether the people standing here are accomplices in the murder of Arima Shizuya.

Ukitake Jushiro looked around, his tone extremely serious.

"If that's the case, things will be much more troublesome."

Then.

Who is the murderer?

No one spoke in the field, but the tense atmosphere had already begun to build and rise!

It was as if something invisible was tumbling rapidly, giving rise to something so exaggerated...

During this silence, Soi-Fong frowned and said "foolish man" before turning around and leaving.

But Byakuya Kuchiki stood in front of her.

"Captain Shattered Bee, where are you going?"

"Isn't it obvious? Go find the disaster, and then find a way to avenge the idiot lying there!"

Not enough words to speculate.

Kuchiki Byakuya lowered his eyes and stroked the hilt of the sword with his right hand.

"Didn't you hear what Captain Unohana said just now?"

Since everyone present is a suspect.

We should start from here, investigate each person's motives one by one, and provide evidence.

"Captain Shattered Bee, where were you last night?"

Even though there was no need for any additional explanation, the moment he asked this question, Byakuya Kuchiki's position was clear.

The captain of the second squad caught this hostility and sensed the other party's intention.

At this moment, it was very obvious...he revealed an expression of extreme disgust.

"what?!"

incredible.

"You actually come to doubt me!"

"I just want to confirm something."

The feeling of not being trusted is really disgusting. Even in Soi-Fong's opinion, this level of suspicion has reached the point of finding fault.

but.

If the purpose is to find the murderer, it is not a bad idea to make some concessions.

Unable to help but sigh and turn her head away, Soi-Fong spoke in a rather impatient tone.

"I deployed at the headquarters of the Secret Mobile Force last night, and circled the Seireitei in the second half of the night. No one followed me at that time."

"Can anyone prove it?"

Hearing this, my patience ran out.

"Hey! Are you trying to cause trouble for me on purpose?"

"No, this question is not directed at Captain Soi-Fong, but at others in the future. I will also analyze them in detail and try not to miss any clues."

Kuchiki Byakuya was terrifyingly calm, his tone did not fluctuate at all, and at this moment he was like an ice-cold machine.

"I am only thinking from the perspective of the captain of the second division. I cannot understand why Captain Soi-Fong would leave the headquarters and act alone."

Then.

"Can you explain a little bit?"

"Gu..."

If it is placed in the game of chess.

This might be a 'checkmate' situation.

After all, at this point, in front of so many people... Soi-Fong couldn't reveal even a hint of her purpose.

"I have information about Yoruichi Shihouin, and I want to find her whereabouts."

Can you say this?

You have to know that the other party is also a nominal traitor to Soul Society, not to mention a person who is strongly related to the Shihouin family.

If my carelessness caused the Shifengyuan family to suffer an unexpected disaster... then I would truly deserve to die!

Just thinking of this, Soi-Fong's heart began to feel conflicted.

"Do I need to report to you about everything I do?"

"This attitude is really suspicious."

"What's with that look of yours?! Are you publicly suspecting me, the captain of the second division, of murdering my colleagues? Ha! If you really think so, come and try it yourself!"

There was silence for a moment.

It's just a pause for breathing.

Kuchiki Byakuya's right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword.

"Right on my mind."

Seeing that both sides were on the verge of a showdown, the spiritual pressure that had been condensed but not released at this moment was already showing a tendency to overflow.

Kyoraku Shunsui, who had been playing the role of peacemaker, smiled wryly, took two steps forward, and spoke in a soothing tone.

"Obviously, the matter has not been concluded yet. Isn't it too reckless to point swords at colleagues at this time?" If others saw it, they would be laughed at.

and so.

"Be a little restrained. Give me some time. Wait for Master Shan to take over and investigate. Then..."

The words have not yet fallen.

The cold light flashed silently for a moment.

"?!!!"

Everyone present couldn't help but be surprised, and even Kyoraku Shunsui stumbled back a few steps.

The response is fast.

It is also because of this that you will not get hurt.

There was only a slight "puff" sound, and the clothes on Kyoraku Shunsui's shoulder were cut directly at this moment, leaving an extremely glaring crack.

Kuchiki Byakuya drew his sword and spoke in a very low voice.

"This is my final advice. Please... cooperate with my investigation."

--why?

——We always realize the importance of something only after we lose it.

——Grandpa was like this at that time, and I thought I should have made some progress, but now...

Only then did Byakuya Kuchiki realize that he was still the confused bastard who couldn't take responsibility.

Caring about the world's perspective and calculating the gains and losses on the surface. These things are indeed what a family head must think about, but, but...

Human life is fleeting.

There are so many words of thanks that I want to express but haven’t yet spoken. I have received so much care and guidance from you for a long time.

But I haven't had time to do anything yet.

How foolish, how ignorant.

Now that things have come to this, all I can do is to try my best to make the truth known.

Tears silently rolled down his cheeks, and the head of the Kuchiki family stood with his head held high, his voice trembling slightly.

"Everyone, please... cooperate."

This is what is meant by falling out.

As a result, Kyoraku Shunsui no longer had his usual nonchalant look.

He turned his gaze expressionlessly and fixed it on his chest.

——The opponent had no intention of holding back. Even the slightest hit would have resulted in his skin and flesh being torn into two pieces, with blood splattering five steps away.

Although it is not life-threatening.

"But it's still a little troublesome if people look down on me~"

Slightly hunched over, with the same playful expression as always.

"Although I have no problem with this kind of behavior, after all, even clay people have tempers."

"Especially at a time like this? Well, after all, humans are more emotional creatures after all."

Even if it’s me.

“I also feel a little sad because my drinking buddy died.”

An extremely gloomy atmosphere emerged at this moment. Ukitake Jushiro hurried forward, grabbed his friend's arm and shouted.

"Chun Shui! Don't cause trouble for others at this time. Are you going to do such an irrational thing?!"

"Ahahaha, that depends on Captain Kuchiki's judgment of course~"

Unohana Retsu looked around and had no intention of stopping it.

Aizen Sosuke in the distance seemed to want to say something, but was also pulled back to his place by Ichimaru Gin who was standing next to him.

The balance that didn't exist in the first place was like a toppled scale, falling in an irreversible direction in an instant...

boom! ! !
Amid the earth-shaking roar, pink 'petals' shot up into the sky.

The continuous spiritual pressure aura flickered and flickered in it, causing the people who were still watching outside to disperse with strange cries.

The gods started fighting.

The 'mastermind' who witnessed all this stood in a relatively safe corner, watching the figures colliding above his head...

He showed a calm smile as if his plan had succeeded.

As expected?

No.

It should be said that it far exceeded expectations.

The sad news of Arima Shizuya's death was like a bomb driven into the foundation of a building.

The chain reaction caused was not only beyond imagination, but also made those who were hiding in the shadows have more associations and plans.

on the other hand.

Ichigo Kurosaki had no idea what was happening and continued to move towards his destination.

He is facing his first 'life and death crisis' since entering Soul Society.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack me?"

The sound was rough and cold, like a dull hatchet, cutting through flesh, and the distortion was almost instantaneous...

It's enough to make one's breath hold.

Afro, scarred face, skinny and broad body... The way he holds the knife is not very particular, but it gives people a feeling that "this guy is very strong".

No.

Not feeling.

It is a real entity.

It was visibly that the air began to distort along with the other person's smile.

Dong dong dong dong dong…

It wasn't the sound of my heartbeat, but the ground cracking inch by inch! Physical objects were shattered and broken by the invisible stance.

Until it returns to the simple sense of the soul, floating around like fireflies.

Eye……

Everywhere he looked seemed to be painted in pure black and white. The dark and gloomy lines covered the entire area of ​​his vision, causing Ichigo Kurosaki to breathe faster.

Not a match - the moment I saw the opponent with my own eyes, I already knew the answer in my heart.

But... this is definitely not the time to retreat.

Have courage.

Just like how he defeated the Madarame character, Abarai Renji.

It's just repeating what you have done along the way. There is no difficulty at all.

Zhan Yue also said that!
I must not retreat... not even a single step, I must move forward courageously!

……

"Why, is this all your strength?"

It pierced through the strange-looking Zanpakutō and went straight into the heart and lungs.

After seeing that his opponent had no ability to resist anymore, Kenpachi Zaraki showed a lack of interest.

He is able to defeat the vice-captain level, but is still far from being able to touch a higher level of power... Having said that.

But the fighting spirit is indeed commendable.

Turn around and leave.

I have no interest in killing the weak, and I will not bully the weak in a simple sense.

Anyway, there are others who will pick up the slack, right? That’s enough…

"and many more……"

Even the voice became weak.

It doesn't even arouse the slightest interest.

But in Ichigo Kurosaki's sight, time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

On the black and white background, it was like a wet, soaked canvas...

I saw that, on the left and right sides of Kenpachi Zaraki...

Two familiar figures appeared one after another at this moment.

PS: I am not too satisfied with the following plot, and it affects other contents, so I will not post it. I feel there is still room for further revision... Well, it is the plot related to Standing in the Sky.

Anyway, it is quite different from the original, please wait a little longer, I will update twice a day tomorrow
