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

Chapter 268 Chapter 267: Let's go, towards the already chaotic future

Yohabach.

The ancestor of the Quincy, the son born under a curse.

People who are born without all five senses need to draw strength from others in order to extend their lives.

Thousands of years ago, he was rampant in the world. In order to seek eternal life, he attempted to destroy the three realms and return to chaos, so that all things would no longer be under the shadow of death.

"And among them, he possessed a power called 'Holiness', which was the root cause of the destruction of the Quincy clan."

Ishida Uryu.

"This man is the enemy of your clan, and also the murderer of your mother."

Ishida Ryugen may not have confessed this part to the other party, but it doesn’t matter. Since Uryu has appeared here, it means that the other party has agreed with his approach.

It is time to clarify the grudges of the past to the younger generation.

"The Book of the Quincy records Yhwach and the Invisible Empire that existed a thousand years ago and a thousand years later."

"This is the most powerful evidence. I have just roughly read it, and the content is basically the same as what I understand."

"If you need this book in the future, Ishida-kun, you can just take it back... After all, this is also your grandfather's legacy."

As for the other one.

"The proof of the invisible empire, this thing has no special meaning."

"It is merely a certificate of entry that allows the bearer to pass through the shadows and enter the Invisible Empire."

"It's not that hard to understand, right? After all, this is the headquarters of Yhwach. If anyone can come and go as they please, it would be strange."

(At the end of the 14th episode of the third season of the Thousand Year Blood War, the two fathers used silver coins to enter and exit the Invisible Empire, and complained that they were lucky to have a father with dirty hands and feet)

Arima Shizuya's statement was straightforward and simple.

He almost exaggeratedly told everything he knew about Youhabach.

Ishida Uryu, who had been maintaining a calm and composed appearance, gradually turned his expression into one of shock and even astonishment after hearing these words.

Inoue Orihime, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth, and whispered something "this is too much".

By comparison.

Ulquiorra had no interest in these things at all, and his expression was the same as it was at the beginning.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri, who was only half the height of a human and was in the form of a bacterial fusion, had the calmest reaction.

He just stared and rubbed his chin.

Finally, he let out a light chuckle.

"I see. That's pretty much what I thought."

Ishida Uryuu on the side couldn't help but glance at him.

"What's with your tone as if you knew everything from the beginning?"

"That's because I already know the content of this part."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri slightly opened his right hand, and while widening his eyes, he made a movement as if to stimulate his thinking.

"I felt something was wrong when you acted like a madman in Seireitei before."

"I later brought up related content at the captains' meeting... In fact, I have already conducted further research and confirmed the existence of the Invisible Empire."

"Essentially, it's just to test Captain-General Yamamoto's attitude. After all, the Captain-General once fought against Yhwach a thousand years ago, so he should understand the interests involved the most."

I didn't expect Kurotsuchi Mayuri to have gone this far.

Arima Jing was also a little surprised. At this moment, she rubbed her temples and showed an interested expression.

"What happens after that?"

“It was ignored.”

Simple and clear statement.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's tone didn't change at all, as if there was nothing in this world that could cause him to feel a change in emotion.

"I think Captain Yamamoto has understood the reason for the incident, but I don't understand why the other party is evasive."

"Considering the current situation, I can only make a simple guess at the moment."

"That is, Captain-General Yamamoto wants to deal with you and Aizen's group first, and then consider matters related to Yhwach."

It turned out to be the case.

"Must we first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression?"

If this is the explanation, it is not difficult to understand the old man's logic.

"I have mentioned similar topics in other meetings since then, but since the captain has been avoiding the topic, I can only pretend that it never happened."

So, back to the point.

"You did that on that day in order to force the Invisible Empire out of Soul Society..."

"I think that's OK with my understanding."

"Arima Shizuya?"

The questioning tone made the other two people present involuntarily stare at the person involved.

If you agree.

It seems that the 'atrocities' he committed also have corresponding explanations.

Everything... seems to have its reasons. Is it understandable behavior?
However, Arima Jing just chuckled at this moment, and then waved his hand nonchalantly.

"That's all in the past. There's no point dwelling on it now. And the reconstruction of Seireitei is almost complete, right?"

The grievances of the past cannot be completely resolved by a few words.

Since I have chosen a path that is not understood by others, I naturally need to face the price of being hated and hostile.

"..."

Kuroshio Mayuri fell into a brief silence.

As one of the few people who knew the truth, he also learned the attitudes of the majority at the captains' meeting.

He could fully understand Arima Shizuya's current situation.

"It's a little... a little infuriating."

"……What's the meaning?"

"You are just a simple-minded captain of the 5th Division, but you want to shoulder all these responsibilities? Really... there should be a limit to your arrogance."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri raised his right hand with his index finger raised, then waved his finger towards Arima Shizuya with a stern tone.

"Let's put aside the matter of Yhwach for now. Arima Shizuya, you must understand your current situation."

The problem is that.

"Captain Yamamoto has absolutely no intention of letting you go."

"Has Aizen Sosuke's Hogyoku fully awakened? Since he wants to replace the Soul King, he must be against the ideals of the Gotei 13."

"This means that we are now entering the final stage of conflict."

"War is inevitable, and I won't say anything discouraging."

But, before that.

"Even if it's for the sake of those desserts in the past."

"Finally a word of advice, Arima Shizuya."

"Soul Society's actions against Hueco Mundo have begun."

"Just after Kurosaki Ichigo and his men decided to invade, the Gotei 13 also began their action."

Just as the content was arranged in the original book.

As Kurotsuchi Mayuri reported a long list of names and whereabouts, Arima Shizuya's expression became subtle.

"Kushiki Byakuya, Zaraki Kenpachi, Unohana Retsu, and I, a genius researcher, are currently moving within the Black Chamber and will soon reach our destination."

"On the side of the real world, Captain Yamamoto and the remaining captains are ready to respond."

The current configuration was revealed, and not only the two people next to him, but even Ulquiorra cast his eyes over at this moment.

I really can't care anymore...

However, the arrangements for this war seemed to be far more than just that.

"I know that you and Aizen Sosuke have both reached the level of Captain-General Yamamoto."

"Although I hate people like you who value strength above all else, I have to admit that the battle between Shinigami does require the basic spiritual pressure as a trump card."

"That's why, in order to ensure that you and your group are taken care of..."

After a pause, Kuroshiro Mayuri emphasized his tone for once, speaking word by word.

"Team Zero has also been dispatched."

Zero Squad.

"what is that?"

Ishida Uryu and Inoue Orihime were completely out of the situation. In contrast, Arima Shizuya's expression moved slightly.

Then... he smiled with relief.

No wonder he often had similar palpitations these days. It turned out that the source was waiting for him here?

The Bingzhubu and his group of friends? Although the timing is a bit off, it's not that we are completely unprepared.

In a sense, it was expected.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi seemed quite dissatisfied with Arima Shizuya's attitude.

"What are you laughing at?! Do you know how dangerous your situation is?"

Arima Shizuka nodded embarrassedly and sighed softly.

"Sorry, I just suddenly realized something..."

No desire to argue.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri ignored this part of his emotions and moved on to the final stage of the conversation.

"Don't go to the real world, leave Hueco Mundo."

"Find an unknown corner and hide there first, Arima Shizuya."

"Besides that, I can't think of any other way for you to survive."

a little……

It's a little surprising.

Arima Shizuka also blinked, and her expression became a little subtle.

"I didn't expect that you, who think you have no emotions and are completely rational, would say something like this."

"Rationality doesn't mean you don't have the ability to think. It's just a simple weighing of the pros and cons, idiot."

The style of cold remarks has not changed.

"I wouldn't feel the slightest bit of sadness or grief if someone like you died."

"After all, in my opinion, the more stupid ones are those who can't see the whole story."

"Someone will surely shed tears of regret and say some words of regret at that time. Of course, I am not interested in these things."

But at the same time, Kuroshio Mayuri did not forget to add one more sentence.

"It's just that if you really died, Yin Meng might be sad."

That's it.

"Really? That's true..."

Arima Shizuya smiled and nodded slightly.

"Thank you very much."

"What's your answer?"

"I'm sorry, I also have my own ideas and decisions, but thank you Captain Ne for your concern."

Without showing any surprise, Kurotsuchi Mayuri just maintained his original posture and continued speaking in a calm tone.

"how to say……"

"I had a vague feeling of what your answer would be before you opened your mouth."

"But I always feel that if I don't speak out these things, I might feel regretful when I go back."

As a researcher, I actually had similar thoughts.

It's a humbling thought.

"Since you have made your decision, I won't say any more."

After a pause, Kurotsuchi Mayuri stared at the other person's face and spoke calmly.

"You have to live on, Arima Shizuya."

"Well, let me borrow your good words."

Having said this, the two of them looked away tacitly.

Arima Shizuka also fixed her gaze on Ishida Uryuu who was standing beside her, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Ishida-kun, I have said everything I wanted to say. If you want to say something to Long Xian later... that is your family matter, I will not interfere."

Also.

"Do you still want to take this book back?"

After a moment's silence, Ishida Uryuu slowly walked forward, stretched out his hands, and respectfully took back the Book of the Quincy.

His attitude has changed drastically as the story unfolds.

"Thank you...Captain Arima."

"You're welcome. This originally belonged to your family."

After saying these words, Arima Jing also turned his head halfway and looked behind him.

Inoue Orihime was staring at him with a nervous look on her face.

"Um, Mr. Arima..."

"Inoue, I'm really sorry for keeping you under house arrest for so long. You should know that I have no ill intentions, so in the end, I hope you can promise me one thing."

Whether it's the aura when speaking or the caring attitude in daily life.

All of this made Orihime Inoue unable to find a reason to refuse, so she subconsciously tensed her body at this moment.

"Okay, okay! You go ahead!"

"I hope you won't underestimate yourself... You are very capable and can definitely change things when necessary."

Walking forward, Arima Shizuka smiled, stretched out her right hand, and gently patted the other person's head, just like before.

“Don’t give up the power to change the world just because of your personal preferences.”

The girl nodded confusedly.

"I, I understand..."

Completed all the instructions.

Arima Shizuka also stood up. He came to Ulquiorra and looked at his stiff face. He choked for a moment.

And in the end, Arima Shizuka also showed an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, Ulquiorra. I made you run around all this time, but in the end I still couldn't help you find your 'heart'."

"…It's okay. I don't care that much."

"Ha, is that so? That really does make me feel a little better."

Patting the other person's shoulder, Arima Shizuya finally said.

"Your duty is to protect the Xuye Palace and prevent others from invading it. But after that... I have another order."

Wu Laosi stared at Arima Shizuya with a stiff tone.

"Please tell me."

Arima Shizuya pursed his lips slightly, then smiled.

"Don't die. If you can't win, just give up."

……

He left the barrier where he had been alone for quite some time.

Feeling the spiritual pressure in the Hueco Mundo that was shining like the sun, Arima Shizuka also approached it rapidly.

Until I saw Aizen Sosuke and the two former captains surrounding him.

And a bunch of broken faces.

Aizen also gave Arima Shizuka a very familiar smile.

"Shizuya-kun, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

After taking the loose robe handed to her by Ichimaru Gin, after a brief silence, Arima Shizuka also revealed a relieved smile.

He took off the loose robe he usually wore for easier movement and put on the white uniform of Hueco Mundo.

Fitted waist and stand-up collar.

The Zanpakutō hung at the side of his waist, holding it firmly in place.

Arima Shizuka also took a long breath and looked at the black cavity that appeared in front of her.

His expression also became extremely firm.

Let's go.

Towards the already chaotic future.

Arima Shizuya took a fearless step forward.
