Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

That's what they thought, and that's what they did. After a few simple provocations, they started fighting, not using Zanpakuto or Kido, but like children fighting...

"Huh? What's going on?"

Things developed too quickly, and Ishida Uryu was momentarily stunned. How did things suddenly turn out like this?

Yoruichi Shihouin didn't say anything. As one of the people in the know, she knew Ichigo Kurosaki's identity and that it was nothing for him to play with Ganju Shiba for a while.

It's normal for brothers to be more enthusiastic when they meet.

After the two had been fighting for a while, Yoruichi Shihouin said, "Separate them."

Chad Yasutora acted quickly and stepped forward, pulling the two apart with one hand on each arm.

"Shiba Ganju, take us to your house..."

"What?! How do you know my name?!"

Although Yoruichi Shihouin had gone to Kukaku Shiba's house several times with Fang Rui, she had never encountered Ganju Shiba, so Ganju Shiba was unaware of Yoruichi Shihouin's identity.

Yoruichi Shihouin knew what Shiba Ganju looked like. The reason was simple: Shiba Kukaku had described Shiba Ganju's appearance, and his appearance was very special. He was neither particularly handsome nor particularly ugly, but rather very distinctive.

In addition, Shiba Kukaku describes certain behaviors of Shiba Ganju.

Therefore, Yoruichi Shihouin was able to recognize him.

"Besides, why should I take you to my house?!" Shiba Iwaju said disdainfully, raising his head.

"Tsk!" The cat scoffed, adding a cat punch.

Boom! It slammed onto the grass with a dull thud, half of its head embedded in the ground.

"Uh..." Kurosaki Ichigo and the others were stunned. They looked at Yoruichi Shihouin. How could a cat possess such enormous power?

He glanced at Shiba Ganju again and asked in his mind, "...Is he alright?"

"Ha—" Shiba Ganju suddenly raised his head, panting heavily: "I almost died~"

"Hurry up and lead the way, your sister and I are friends," Yoruichi Shihouin explained.

"Friends?" Shiba Ganju pondered. There weren't many people that his sister could call friends, and they were all related to Shinigami.

"Follow me!" Shiba Ganju did not refuse any further and led the group forward.

Shiba Ganju was very confident in his older sister's strength. Even if these people harbored ill intentions, he was not worried at all and believed that his sister could defeat them.

Besides, he vaguely remembered his sister's friends, especially the cat; he seemed to have seen it before...

The group set off again and arrived at a uniquely designed building some time later.

Ishida Uryu pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, saying nothing, but his expression clearly conveyed his feelings.

"Shiba Kukaku?" Inoue Orihime gazed at the banner and read it out, word by word.

"Come in!" Shiba Ganju opened the door and entered the house first.

He needed to find his sister first, tell her about it, and prepare her.

Fang Rui and Shiba Kukaku were prepared for this; they already knew when Shiba Ganju and the others arrived near the house.

"Train them according to your ideas. I'm going to talk to Yoruichi for a while. We can discuss it at dinner."

With that, Fang Rui got up first and walked outside.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Shiba Ganju's hand reaching out to touch it, and his surprised expression, as if asking: What are you doing in my sister's room?

"Lead the way." At this moment, Shiba Kukaku came to Fang Rui's side, his expression unchanged and his tone indifferent.

"Okay." Shiba Ganju, who had doubts but no courage to ask, led the way earnestly, while his mind wandered.

Fang Rui and Shiba Kukaku didn't care what Shishiba Ganju was thinking; the two went straight to their target.

"Yoruichi, come with me, I have something to tell you." Fang Rui said bluntly the moment he saw the black cat.

Immediately afterwards, the person and the cat left.

"Come with me. If you want to enter Seireitei, you must master some skills."

As she spoke, Shiba Kukaku's gaze lingered on Kurosaki Ichigo's face for a moment. In terms of appearance, Kurosaki Ichigo and Shiba Kaien were very similar.

Kurosaki Ichigo and the others exchanged glances for a moment, said nothing, and followed Shiba Kukaku to the training ground.

"I'll demonstrate the basic training once, and then you can follow along and study the training. I'll check your progress before dinner."

After saying that, Shiba Kukaku left, intending to eavesdrop on Fang Rui and Yoruichi's conversation.

Kurosaki Ichigo and the others exchanged glances for a moment before approaching Shiba Ganju and watching his every move.

The menacing gaze made Shiba Ganju, who was about to say something, suddenly fall silent.

I don't know why, but I can feel a sense of oppression.

Shiba Ganju toned it down a bit and practiced with the three of them. With Shiba Kukaku's demonstration, they all knew what to do.

In another room, Fang Rui and Yoruichi were discussing the situation in Seireitei when Shiba Kukaku suddenly burst in...

Fang Rui glanced at him and saw Shiba Kukaku sitting next to him. Seeing this, Fang Rui didn't say anything and continued, "You and Kurosaki Ichigo are part of the assault team, responsible for drawing attention on the surface. I've already told some people that the pursuit will be less intense, but some people are uncontrollable, such as Zaraki Kenpachi..."

"I'll be keeping an eye on Aizen from the shadows, but don't expect me to stop him..."

"I feel like there's something else hidden in your words." Yoruichi Shihouin raised an eyebrow slightly. She felt that what Fang Rui said was very pointed, as if it was referring to a certain matter.

“There is indeed another meaning.” Fang Rui nodded slightly, indicating that you guessed correctly.

Shiba Kukaku and Shihōin Yoruichi: "…………" Your honesty leaves me speechless.

"I have a very bad impression of the nobles of Seireitei and the Central 46, so when Aizen targets the nobles and the Central 46, I... will not help them."

Fang Rui spoke slowly and deliberately, very seriously.

"Really?" Yoruichi Shihouin raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It depends! If I meet someone I like, I'll help them. But if they're the kind of people who do evil, it's already merciful of me not to add fuel to the fire."

Fang Rui dislikes bad people.

Although some villains may have a lot of charisma, they are still annoying, and even if you don't beat them up immediately, you won't give them a nice look.

There might be a few exceptions, but those few... are really very few.

"They're really being quite casual," Yoruichi Shihouin remarked, then asked Kukaku Shiba, "How's their learning progress?"

"I haven't been paying attention, but judging from the pace of Ganju's learning, he should be able to learn it in a day or two..." Shiba Kukaku's tone was not very certain.

"By the way, I will participate in this operation and will be working with Fang Rui."

"Huh? How come you..." the cat asked, puzzled.

"There's something I need to do."

Fang Rui offered a high price, which she couldn't refuse. Incidentally, she wanted to see if what Fang Rui mentioned was true or false.

"Oh~" It was clear that Shiba Kukaku was hiding something, but Yoruichi Shihouin had no intention of asking further. Everyone has privacy.

After a moment of silence in the room, Yoruichi Shihouin suddenly spoke up: "Do you think the plan will go smoothly?"

"It won't go smoothly. Now that Aizen has discovered the problem, how can things proceed as originally planned? Therefore, I've already revised the script from the beginning, waiting for Aizen to make his move."

"Wait a minute, what did you do?" the cat exclaimed in shock.

“It’s a small matter.” As he spoke, Fang Rui raised his hand, his index finger and thumb pinching a dazzling gemstone.

It is a Hōgyoku, an incomplete Hōgyoku.

“You…” the cat was stunned.

"Don't worry, Rukia still has the energy of the Hogyoku in her body. A fake Hogyoku can maintain its form for half a month. Unless Aizen studies it seriously, it is impossible for him to find out that the Hogyoku is fake in a short time."

"Because it has the function of the Hogyoku, which is time-limited."

Chapter 434 It's all an act

"You did very well."

Upon hearing this, Yoruichi Shihouin agreed, saying that taking the Hogyoku in advance would indeed be a precaution, and leaving a fake one would also prevent Aizen from continuing to hide it.

"What I did will certainly be very good."

Fang Rui raised his head slightly, looking quite proud, though it seemed somewhat deliberate.

The conversation between the three did not last long. After Jin Yan said that "dinner is ready," Shiba Kukaku went to the training room to assess the progress of Kurosaki Ichigo and the others. Yoruichi and Fang Rui did not go with him, but went to the restaurant to wait for dinner.

Speaking of which, does the Seireitei possess ingredients that enhance souls? Logically, the Gotei 13, with their long-standing tradition, should possess similar techniques. As for whether these techniques involve ingredients...

"It's hard to say." Fang Rui rubbed his cheek. He vaguely remembered someone who had mastered the cooking method of special dishes used to enhance spiritual pressure.

"What's so hard to say?" Yoruichi didn't revert to her human form, but remained in her cat form, sitting in her special chair, turning her head to look at Fang Rui, who was talking to himself.

"Oh, I was thinking about something." Fang Rui neither hid nor spoke directly, but instead asked another question, "Do you know Hikifune Kiryu?"

"Captain Hikifune? I do know him. Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Yoruichi asked, somewhat surprised.

"You should know about the special technique she possesses! It's cooking that can enhance spiritual pressure."

"Hmm, I've heard of it, and I've even eaten it..." A smile appeared on the cat's face, as if it were savoring the delicious food.

Although Kiryu Hikifune possesses the skills, the conditions required for cooking are very strict, so Kiryu Hikifune rarely cooks, and very few people have the opportunity to eat his special dishes.

"Are there similar dishes in Seireitei? Dishes used to increase spiritual pressure?"

Fang Rui was not surprised by Yoruichi Shihouin's answer. After all, given Yoruichi's status and her way of doing things, it was normal for her to come into contact with people from other squads.

"Similar?" Yoruichi Shihouin thought for a moment before replying, "Similar dishes do exist, and ordinary ingredients can also have similar effects..."

As she spoke, Yoruichi raised her right paw, as if raising her right arm, to illustrate her point: "Think about it, ordinary food can provide the soul with sufficient nutrition, solve hunger, and increase spiritual pressure."

"Although the effect is not as dramatic as that of special dishes, it is still effective."

“That makes sense.” Fang Rui nodded slightly upon hearing this; Yoruichi Shihouin was right.

Indeed, as Yoruichi Shihouin said, Kiryu Hikifune's cooking differs somewhat from ordinary cooking, but the underlying principles are similar.

While the two were rambling on about nothing of substance, Ichigo Kurosaki and the others had finished their assessments. Except for Ichigo, everyone else had completed their training.

Therefore, feeling like he was holding everyone back, Ichigo Kurosaki didn't come to eat and instead trained alone...

"Sometimes, having too much spiritual pressure isn't a good thing."
