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

Chapter 317 Chapter 316: The Sun of Soul Society

"Business?"

As if hearing a joke.

The corners of Aizen Sosuke's mouth rose slightly, expressing his emotions at the moment through the simplest and most abstract movements.

"Is it because you've become a leader? Kyoraku Shunsui, you can tell inappropriate jokes now."

He spread his hands and made a gesture as if he was sighing.

The prison warden's single eye was slightly narrowed, with a playful look in it.

"For a prisoner like me, what is the so-called 'business'?"

After all, you need to know...

"There's nothing here."

It's not a so-called description, but loneliness in the literal sense.

"The concentration of spirit particles has become so thin that it cannot be any thinner. The air has also become extremely scarce."

"Just wanting to breathe, to take a breath, would require an ordinary person to use all their strength to do it..."

"And I will have to stay in this place for who knows how many more years."

Aizen Sosuke paused for a moment and returned the question to Kyoraku Shunsui.

"So what is there for me to care about now?"

long silence.

From the perspective of the Gotei 13, Kyoraku Shunsui really couldn't find any room for rebuttal.

After all, the difference between the two camps has already been highlighted, and at this time, no matter what you say... it seems a bit far-fetched.

"Although I really want to apologize to you, after all, I am sitting in this position, and I can't say anything too embarrassing~"

Kyoraku Shunsui said with a playful smile.

"Since you have done so many bad things, it is only natural that you should be punished and punished like this, right?"

"Oh..."

Aizen Sosuke couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

"You can say such things. It seems that your temper has changed a lot."

If it were in the past, Kyoraku Shunsui would definitely not choose such a clear-cut way of expression.

This also made the prison master's expression a little subtle.

The image of the captain of the Eighth Division in my memory gradually became blurred at this moment.

"Yes, regarding this matter... even I can't help but sigh when I think about it."

Kyoraku Shunsui lowered his eyes with emotion.

"If I just give in a little, things will become much easier. I've known this before, and I've lived my life this way."

It's just imitating the previous footsteps and doing it again.

There shouldn't be any difficulty at all.

but……

"My heart no longer allows me to do this."

Carrying the title of captain-general, even in this corner where no one can see him, Kyoraku Shunsui will never allow himself to do anything that would damage his reputation.

The captain-in-chief should act like a captain-in-chief.

True.

Continuing to use a polite tone and a compromising attitude in the conversation will prevent the atmosphere between you from becoming too stiff.

But as the captain-general, Kyoraku Shunsui would never do such a 'shameful' thing.

Everyone has to live with something on their shoulders, and this is the case with Kyoraku Shunsui at this moment.

"After all, so many people are looking at me. If I don't notice it, it would be too disappointing~"

Aizen Sosuke looked at the other person's face in silence for a long while, but did not say a single word.

Until the end.

He raised the corner of his mouth, revealing an expression that seemed like a smile.

"It seems that the pressure this position brings to you is much more exaggerated than I expected."

"Oh, if you can help me understand to this extent, it's a big help. In short... we have been through a lot together."

Kyoraku Shunsui tilted his head, examining Aizen Sosuke's face as if he was trying to find something, and finally spoke softly.

"And then again, I didn't expect you to be willing to continue chatting with me... If it were in the past, I'm afraid the two of us would have already broken off the conversation, right?"

This view cannot be denied.

After all, if it were a hundred years ago... Aizen Sosuke, who was arrogant, contemptuous, and looked down on everyone, would indeed be disgusted by such an offensive behavior.

However, times have changed.

Having lost something and experienced more things, Aizen Sosuke no longer has the same personality and temper as before.

Aizen Sosuke responded with a light laugh.

"Because I have touched the highest peak, I can feel at ease in the valley. Compared with the current reality, some of my past persistence and perseverance seem insignificant and ignorant to me now."

See the same things from a different perspective.

Although this theory has appeared a long time ago, how many people can actually put it into practice?
After all, human beings are a mixture of emotion and rationality...When one is in high spirits, it seems as if one is in control of the world's destiny. The world is so big, there is no place that one cannot go.
Only by falling from above and being smashed to pieces can a person wake up and realize his or her own shortcomings.

Aizen Sosuke, benefited a lot.

"From this perspective, I should even say thank you to you... but this is not your subjective behavior after all, so my gratitude seems meaningless."

Therefore, I take back what I said.

"Let me continue to hold this contempt for you."

Although it has changed, it seems that it has not changed?
Kyoraku Shunsui laughed bitterly.

"You're making such a philosophical statement... Well, it seems that someone like me will never be able to follow the same path as you."

It is difficult to evaluate the fact that two people who were arguing with each other the moment before are now having such a calm and peaceful conversation.

The two sides seemed to have reached a certain consensus without saying a word, and at this moment they selectively ignored these processes.

Back to the topic.

"The reason I came to see you today is actually because of some things later..."

Before he finished speaking, Aizen Sosuke spoke.

"Is there any content about the Quincy?"

Without responding immediately, Kyoraku Shunsui raised his head calmly, with a hint of subtlety in his tone.

"I hate it. I'm not used to hearing you speak so bluntly... But it's true."

The Quincy are coming.

"Although the detection equipment made by Captain Nie cannot pinpoint the exact location, even if it only determines the general direction, it is enough for us to make further judgments."

"What Arima Shizuya said before was not wrong. The enemies who have had a thousand-year-old feud with us Death Gods are gathering in some inconspicuous corners..."

"And about to launch an attack."

Not at all surprised by this statement, Aizen Sosuke simply glanced at it calmly, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"And then?" "We may need your strength."

"That's an interesting way of putting it, Kyoraku Shunsui."

Capture the other party's intentions from just a few words, analyze them, and finally fully resolve the most essential and specific content.

As a former leader, Aizen Sosuke definitely does not lack this kind of "quality".

"He lost his Zanpakutō, was restrained, and was shunned by today's mainstream society."

"People like me will be hated if they just appear under the sky of Soul Society again."

"But facing a vicious guy like me, you actually want to borrow my power?"

How ridiculous.

Considering the other party's current identity, it seems even more puzzling.

and so……

Bow your head to the person who once betrayed you and beg for help.

"Captain-General, is this the demeanor of the Gotei 13 that you want to display?"

Aizen Sosuke tilted his head back slightly, and the only eye exposed stared down at the other person condescendingly, with a look in his pupils.

The outline of contempt began to gradually emerge.

"In comparison, although Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was stubborn to the point of being annoying, he would never disgust me in this way."

There is no doubt that this is a personal attack in some sense.

Just hearing a little bit about the torture of dignity and personality will make people want to get angry.

But for Kyoraku Shunsui, these things did not seem to be worth his attention.

He pondered and thought, until finally he clasped his hands over his chest and nodded... a gesture of approval.

"It may sound harsh, but that's exactly what I'm thinking... Well, this is what they call good medicine tastes bitter, right?"

Raising his hand and scratching the corner of his mouth, Kyoraku Shunsui had a somewhat conflicted expression.

"This problem actually existed a long time ago, and I have even been taught a lesson by Master Shan several times..."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. Everyone has their own persistence and opinions. I think this level of individuality is indeed something important that needs to be preserved."

"Former Captain Aizen, if it were you, you would understand, right?"

Kyoraku Shunsui raised his finger and pointed at himself, the smile on his face seemed inexplicably forced.

"Although I look like this, I'm actually a very careful person~"

All available means should be used.

It doesn't matter whether they are enemies or friends, or whether their nature is pure or not.

What is important is to achieve the 'result', not the 'process' to reach this end.

"I don't have the strength as Master Shan, nor do I have the ambition as arrogant as you... In the final analysis, you and I are not on the same path."

Kyoraku Shunsui sighed and tilted his head slightly, with an expression of helplessness on his face.

"I don't have any outstanding talent. At best, I just have some clever little ideas."

"So I have a headache too... I am asked to take care of these disobedient guys, who always quarrel and give each other bad looks. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about them."

"After all, he is new in office. If he is too harsh, I am afraid many people will have objections, right?"

I don't know if he is trying to convince the other person or just talking to himself.

Kyoraku Shunsui just stared at the floor in front of him and stated in a flat tone.

"Being a leader is very tiring... Especially as a captain, everyone's lives are in my hands. Just thinking about it is enough to give me a headache."

"But I have to take responsibility. After all, this is everyone's trust... If I fail to live up to these things, I will die with regrets even if I go to hell."

"But I'm not a gifted child like you, with the most outstanding talents and abilities. I'm just a fool who knows how to be clever and a sly guy who loves to drink."

and so.

"If you want to do everything, you naturally have to sacrifice something, right?"

This is what dignity is.

Kyoraku Shunsui's honor as an individual can be completely ignored or ignored.

From the moment he became the captain-general, what he wanted and what he had always focused on was the 'comprehensiveness' of the Gotei 13.

“I don’t want too many people to die.”

"So it is necessary to integrate some useful manpower in advance."

"Now that I've said that, former Captain Aizen should understand what I mean, right?"

Kyoraku Shunsui raised his head slightly, spread out his right hand, palm facing up, and stretched it forward.

"My dignity and other things, just take them away. Be it ridiculed or despised, these things don't matter to me..."

"In return, I just want to know your attitude."

"How about it? Former Captain Aizen, how about you consider my request?"

Without answering immediately, Aizen Sosuke was silent for a moment and then spoke calmly.

"So, what's the reward?"

Fair suggestion.

Since there has been an effort, it is natural to demand corresponding returns.

Kyoraku Shunsui nodded without any surprise, and spoke as if he had already made relevant preparations.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

It's a bit too straightforward.

"After all, you are a serious criminal in the Soul Society. As the captain, I cannot give you too many guarantees... This will cause many more difficult problems."

The prison warden glanced towards him.

"Are you going to ask people to work hard just by giving them a blank check?"

"Ahahaha, I'm not that naive... It's just that from a personal perspective, I can only make some basic guarantees first."

After a brief pause, Kyoraku Shunsui returned to his original state and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Speaking of which, how long has it been since you last looked at the sky of Soul Society? If possible, I can let you walk around for a while with my personal guarantee."

It's just leaving the Avici Hell, staying outside for a short time, and traveling.

As a transaction, I have to pay a high price...

This proposal, which was unacceptable to anyone, made Aizen Sosuke look thoughtful.

——How long has it been?
Although it is not exaggerated to the point of being calculated in years.

But even so, this place is too empty. Without a tool to keep track of time, Aizen Sosuke will gradually lose track of time.

Even the feeling of the sun shining has been gradually forgotten.

So-called human beings are, after all, a kind of living being that yearns for warmth.

“This proposal…”

Aizen Sosuke gave a clear answer.
