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

Chapter 272: 271: Awakening to Oneself, Sagara Dragon
Just by standing there, a lot of strong aura had already completely locked onto Arima Shizuya.

It is literally a 'high hatred' unit. In this respect, Arima Shizuka is even more exaggerated than Prison Master.

Watching Soi-Fong, Hitsugaya Toshiro, Kyoraku Shunsui and others being blocked one by one.

The plot seemed to be heading in its original direction in the haze.

Arima Shizuka also raised his right hand, gently rubbed his temple, and murmured to himself in a deep voice.

"Am I so annoying?"

"Of course, Captain Arima."

Gin Ichimaru, who spoke, maintained his usual sarcastic attitude. He stayed beside Shizuya Arima with the smile on his face.

"After all, although Aizen Sosuke was the apparent leader, Captain Arima, who was actually in charge of the execution, actually deceived many people."

"..."

Always feel like something is wrong?

But if we analyze the facts, it seems that we can barely understand what the other party said.

——I can only say that in the timeline where Arima Shizuka appeared and participated, he indeed changed too many things, making him the object of hatred.

It's kind of self-inflicted in a sense.

"By the way, why have you been standing here? Don't you have any unfinished business to take care of?"

Just like Tosen, even if Dagou didn't take the initiative to speak, he would find the other party and Xiubing and make a decision with the two of them.

When Gin Ichimaru heard this, he just shrugged lightly.

"I don't have such troubles. Things like love, hate, and vengeance are not that important to me~"

The words fell.

A familiar voice was heard not far away.

"silver……"

Arima Shizuka also turned her head and saw Matsumoto Rangiku standing at the edge not far away with a complicated expression.

This beautiful blonde woman no longer had her usual relaxed expression. At this moment, she was holding her Zanpakutō in her hand and looking at her childhood friend with complicated eyes.

"..."

Gin Ichimaru couldn't laugh anymore.

Arima Shizuka did not choose to miss this 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity. At this moment, she put her hands to her mouth and shouted as if to cheer someone up.

"Oh, what a stupid couple who loves each other but can't express it."

"...!!!"

Matsumoto Rangiku almost couldn't hold the knife after hearing this, and Ichimaru Gin even lowered his head.

"I'll fix it right away..."

"It's okay if you don't rush."

Looking at Ichimaru Gin's departing back, the smile on Arima Shizuya's face gradually faded.

The Battle of Karakura Town itself has no special significance.

Even now that there was no need to create the King Key, Aizen Sosuke and his party could have completely staggered the Soul Society's arrangements and chosen a more appropriate time...

Use a sneak attack method to attack the Palace of the Spirit King.

But this behavior will never be recognized by others.

Leaders disdain to do anything sneaky, and subordinates also have bonds and connections that need to be resolved with each other.

Without this link, the skin and flesh stuck together would only make both parties more painful.

Just as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said.

Everything so far has been just a battle between the 'new and old' of the Gotei 13.

As his thoughts wandered, Arima Shizuka took a deep breath and placed his right hand on his waist.

There is no point in just standing by and watching. As part of her duties, Arima Shizuka also needs to make her own contribution.

The Zanpakutō hung at the side of his waist, and the hilt was grasped by his drooping right hand.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's rival...

It's him.

Taking a step forward, Arima Shizuya's figure flashed, like a stunning beauty that disappeared into space, and in just a blink of an eye he arrived beside Aizen.

Shan Ye's expression did not change at all, but his eyes narrowed by more than three points at this moment.

"..."

He remained silent, and the way he tightly gripped the handle of the knife expressed his attitude at the moment.

Aizen calmly glanced around him, his eyes rested on Arima Shizuya's right hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Aren't you going to take care of some personal matters first, Shizuya-kun?"

A person as proud as Aizen would naturally not care about things in the past.

But Arima Shizuka is different. He left behind too many emotions and ties, even more than Tosen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin.

"It's not a problem for me to just hold the captain back. During that time, Shizuya-kun can move freely."

Although the personal feelings and lifestyles of subordinates will not be evaluated.

But no matter what, appropriate special care is also necessary.

I understand the intention.

However, Arima Shizuka didn’t think so.

He raised his right hand with a wry smile, gently patted the back of his head, and spoke in a somewhat embarrassed tone.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite thin-skinned..."

Rather than facing other people's questions and gazes, Arima Shizuka would rather face the old man on the mountain.

Although escaping is shameful, it does work.

"Yeah."

Without making any comments about his godson, Aizen closed his eyes slightly and made a gesture to step back.

"Since this is also Shizuya-kun's will, then it is up to you."

His figure floated backwards until he returned to the queue.

Like a helmsman directing the fleet, Aizen's attitude remains as proud and fearless as ever.

He raised his right hand lightly and snapped his fingers.

The black cavity that had been prepared long ago squirmed and expanded, like vomiting... Groups of large hollows gushed out of it and fell rapidly towards the ground.

"what is that?!"

"So many Hollows! This is not good. Only people above the level of vice-captain can handle them..."

"Don't retreat! As the chief officer, this is our responsibility. Protect the other team members, organize the front, and advance!"

Bringing these great voids along is simply to disrupt the situation.

Although it will not have any impact on high-end combat power, it can only affect the opponent's mentality, which means that the goal has been achieved.

Do everything to extremes.

This is also the creed of Sosuke Aizen.

They were facing off against several high-ranking Broken Faces, and many of them were showing signs of being a little uneasy at this moment.

It seems that Aizen's plan does make sense... However, just before the two sides were about to clash.

Everyone's eyes turned to the other side at this moment.

That area is the edge of the barrier, and now there is a clear fluctuation...

Moreover, a number of "familiar" spiritual energy masses appeared one after another.

It was a 'stranger' who had intruded into the area.

The Shinigami and Arrancar who were clashing stopped and stared at them.

"who are you?!"

The leading man drew out his Zanpakutō deftly and revealed his signature sarcastic smile.

"He was just a wanted criminal who happened to be passing by~"

Masked Army.

Although the appearance time is slightly different, the things to do are almost the same.

"The old party that has been eliminated by history should do some cleanup work... I don't think I need to emphasize what should be done, right?"

Hirako Mako was the first to place his right hand on his face. The aura belonging to the Hollow appeared and instantly enveloped the spiritual pressure that appeared.

The others followed suit and, as reinforcements, effectively blocked the surging group of Voids outside the safety line.

A little surprising.

But not to the extent that it would raise eyebrows.

Aizen just glanced at them calmly, and then looked away.

But there were just a few more grains of dust that suddenly needed to be wiped away.

It will not have any meaningful impact on the results at all.

and……

Aizen would not let these trivial things affect the direction of the supreme battlefield.

"Then I'll leave Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni to you, Shizuya-kun."

It's not even worth mentioning the names of that group of people, as if in Aizen's view, the existence of these people itself... is not worthy of any attention.

If you look down on something, you just look down on it.

This is also the consistent style of the prison master.

Although Arima Shizuka still had some things she wanted to say to Hirako, the current atmosphere was not suitable for such behavior.

I can only sigh and shift my attention back to the present.

"Well, I'll take care of this."

Standing sideways, Arima Shizuya had a confident smile on his face. Having adjusted his mentality, he was in the best condition at the moment.

"Ah……"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

A rare hint of gentleness appeared on his serious face at this moment.

A low humming tone, short syllables.

After uttering a self-deprecating whisper for a moment, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's gaze was fixed on Arima Shizuya.

Said slowly.

"Don't you want to attack both of you? I won't show mercy."

Just as the other party said.

Old man Yamamoto is the most powerful fighter in Soul Society, and also the most aggressive Zanpakuto owner to date.

Such power and might was so great that even Aizen Sosuke, who had achieved extraordinary strength, could not ignore it.

In the original storyline, in order to delay the time and progress of the awakening of the Broken Jade, a part of the energy must be devoted to developing a Fire Extinguishing Prince specifically for the old man in the mountain.

The enemy's strength comes from many aspects.

Historical records and personal experiences have created a sense of fear that is enough to scare people away.

So, what is the extent of the power that I have?

He is only a little over a hundred years old.

His past resume, even taking into account his experience as captain and the speed of his training, could not be described as impressive at all.

Perhaps razing Seireitei to the ground was enough to raise eyebrows, but that was all.

After all, if he wanted to, that skinny-looking old man could evaporate the entire Soul Society.

The strength between the two sides...is it truly equal?

The doubts lingering in my mind at this moment are also the reason why everyone present is looking at me in awe.

The confrontation and fights among the rest of the people were just entertainment at best.

"Both of you attack together? Well, maybe that's a good option. But the previous battle isn't over yet, right?"

He drew out the Zanpakutō from his waist and grasped it tightly in his right hand.

He placed the blade upright in front of him, like a wheat spike gleaming in the sun, and Arima Shizuka raised it slightly...looking at Yamamoto who was 'cut in two' by the blade.

There was a hint of emotion in his tone.

"My thank you gift to my teacher is not limited to that level."

He continued the unfinished battle from that day and brought his journey in Soul Society to an end.

This is also what Arima Shizuya insists on.

Yamamoto said no more, he just silently held the Zanpakuto in his hand horizontally in front of him.

The knife has a dark purple handle and an oval blade, and it exudes an ancient connotation from the inside out, just like its owner... It is a representative object of conservatism.

"Such a spirit is worthy of my teachings."

And Yamamoto will not let this kindness down.

Everything will turn to ashes...

The blade is like fire.

boom! ! ! ! !
Just like a volcano appearing in the sky, the hot, boiling, and soaring flames seem to swallow up the entire sky.

The roar was far more exaggerated than that in the confrontation in Soul Society, and even Kyōraku Shunsui who was present could not help but frown.

It’s serious now, Mr. Shan.

And on the other side.

Urahara Kisuke, who received an order from Soul Society and shared some of Kurotsuchi Mayuri's techniques, was observing the situation from outside the barrier.

Boss Urahara's head was already starting to sweat.

"What a bunch of people who only know how to cause trouble for others..."

Although I knew things would develop to this extent, I didn't expect that I would have to be on my toes just after we met.

In the distance, Wuling Tiezhai, who was maintaining the spiritual power to fix the barrier, also looked quite nervous at this moment.

"Mr. Urahara, are these people really not going to make a more exaggerated noise?"

"To be honest, I can't guarantee it."

If it were any other day, Urahara Kisuke might still be in the mood to tell some jokes, but right now he really couldn't be happy.

After all, if the barrier collapsed, the energy that overflowed from inside would be enough to completely destroy the entire world.

The implications are serious and we cannot afford to be careless.

But then again...if you were to doubt the strength of the barrier itself.

Boss Naurahara didn't think this was necessary.

"After all, this is a targeted preparation we have been making several months in advance."

The Soul Society rescinded the wanted order for Urahara Kisuke and others, but the price was that he needed to provide help in many aspects.

Opening the black cavity leading to Hueco Mundo is one thing.

Another requirement is to create the most solid and reliable barrier to date.

Putting aside their obsessions and prejudices, the two scientists worked together to try to create the most sturdy "octagonal cage", whose characteristic is that it only has one.

Sufficient tolerance.

Even the captain-general's Bankai can limit its influence to the minimum.

Pulling his fisherman's hat lowered, Urahara Kisuke forced a self-deprecating smile.

"In the Three Realms today, I'm afraid there is no place more suitable for them to make trouble than this place."

Inside the barrier, Arima Shizuka was also watching the flames rising into the sky.

Come and don't go indecent.

Then, we should show some "real skills" here.

Turning the blade in her hand downward, Arima Shizuka also loosened her clenched right hand.

"Turning the rivers and seas upside down, stirring up the heavens and the earth."

"Showing his true power, all living beings lose their heat and annoyance."

Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, Arima Shizuka did not choose Bankai, but instead regained her past strength...

And that is the name that symbolizes the beginning of enlightenment.

It had been a long time since she last heard Arima Shizuya call her name softly.

"Awaken to your own self, Sāgara-naga."
