Fang Rui complained, "Especially those that are acquired suddenly, without any training."

“You’re right,” Yoruichi agreed.

Ichigo Kurosaki has great talent, but his foundation is too weak. However, given the current situation, there is no time to help him improve his foundation. We can only force him to reach a higher level and overcome difficulties with greater strength.

As for the basics, we'll find an opportunity to make up for them later.

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent. He knew how to remedy the deficiency, but unfortunately, there wasn't enough time.

After the meal, some people returned to the training ground to continue training, while Fang Rui went to Seireitei to check on some things.

The Seireitei remains under martial law. Rukia is imprisoned, the fake Hogyoku has not been removed, and Aizen has faked his death...

"Hmm? He's planning to proceed as originally intended?" Fang Rui's tone was somewhat strange.

To be honest, the current situation is quite complicated, and the probability of Aizen proceeding according to the original plan is low. After all, with him around, unexpected situations are likely to occur.

"Who cares! As long as Rukia is protected, there will be no problem. No matter how Aizen changes his plans, Rukia is an obstacle he cannot get around. After all, Aizen's goal is the Hogyoku."

With that in mind, Fang Rui kept an eye on Rukia here while his clone went to other areas of Seireitei to chat with some "acquaintances".

First, there's Gin Ichimaru. We couldn't find him at his residence. Judging by the time, he's probably in the Central 46th Room right now.

Those in power at the Central 46th Bureau, while not all of them are evil, probably make up more than 50%, after all, they represent power.

Cleaning it once won't cause any problems, since it will be reassembled later anyway.

Speaking of which, did the chief of the newly reorganized Central 46th Bureau plant any spies...?

Given his personality, it's unlikely.

The clone left Gin Ichimaru's residence and arrived at the Fourth Division.

"Hey! It's been a while. How's your verification of the information I told you?"

In Unohana Retsu's bedroom, Fang Rui sat on the windowsill, looking at Unohana Retsu lying on the bed, speaking casually.

"Visiting a woman's room late at night without prior appointment is a rather inappropriate behavior."

Retsu Unohana slowly got up. Her thin nightgown could not hide her beautiful figure, and her slightly disgusted gaze was so cold.

"Is it that bad? I don't think there's a problem. It's just hanging out with friends at night, right?"

Fang Rui feigned doubt, attempting to deceive the authorities.

"Let's not talk about this. What brings you here?" Unohana Retsu didn't dwell on the matter and immediately changed the subject.

"Answer my questions first, and based on your answers, I will give you some more information."

“Heh~” With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Retsu Unohana said, “I have verified the information you gave me. The accuracy rate is indeed very high. There is another person besides you who is causing trouble in Seireitei right now... no, perhaps more than one person.”

"As expected of you, your efficiency is truly remarkable." Fang Rui clapped and praised.

"It's not that I'm efficient, but some things are very unusual." Unohana Retsu said with her eyes slightly closed.

The Central 46, while often problematic, operates within the rules. But now... some actions have crossed those lines.

They kept shortening Rukia's trial time, as if they wanted to understand the matter as soon as possible, even though it involved nobles, and the most elite nobles at that.

This time, however, the nobles' opinions were completely ignored, and the orders were carried out by force.

Furthermore, Aizen's actions seemed somewhat deliberate, and his subsequent encounters were too coincidental.

Gin Ichimaru and Aizen were both captains, so how could Gin kill the other quietly, especially in such a flamboyant way? There's clearly something fishy going on.

Not only her, but many people in the Gotei 13 could see the problem, but no one spoke up and they acted in secret.

Even the chief commander was operating in secret. Under martial law, one captain was eliminated without a trace, and the suspect was another captain.

There was clearly something wrong, but the captain had no leads. He could only gather intelligence, investigate diligently, and wait for the mastermind to come forward.

Aizen, too, knew that his plan was riddled with flaws, but he did not revise it. Instead, he used a flawed plan to make the Seireitei suspicious, which actually benefited his actions.

Anyway, since he has a mirage, if he doesn't want to be discovered, it's very difficult for others to find him.

"This is unusual!" Fang Rui rubbed his cheek, unable to figure out what Aizen was doing. Although he knew what Aizen's goal was, he couldn't be sure of the process.

"You're right, is there a response?"

"No, we're waiting, waiting for the troublemakers."

Thanks to the information provided by Fang Rui, Retsu Unohana has identified the suspects. Gin Ichimaru and Aizen are both candidates, and there are others as well.

"To wait in ease for the enemy to tire themselves out, or to wait for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?"

“That’s a good summary.”

Retsu Unohana nodded slightly. "Anyway, we don't have accurate intelligence, so we'll just wait for the enemy to come out. With the Seireitei's military reserves, once we determine who the enemy is, we can easily deal with them."

After all, the title of Captain-General was earned through battle, and the strength of each captain was genuine. She found it hard to imagine anyone being able to escape from being ganged up on by this group.

"Relaxed~" Fang Rui drawled.

"do you have any opinion?"

"Of course not, Sister Hua is right."

"Hana-nee?" Unohana Retsu was taken aback. It was quite interesting that someone addressed her that way.

"Let's wait and see!"

As he spoke, Fang Rui leaned back and fell off the windowsill, disappearing into the night.

The next target is the captain of the First Division.

Instead of approaching the captain rashly, the clone handed him a letter as a reminder.

If Aizen hadn't succeeded in escaping, accepting Las Noches would have been much simpler.

Although there were a lot of Arrancar, cleaning them up was quite simple. Very few Arrancar completely obeyed Aizen's orders, partly because Aizen's strength was too high, which made them dare not have any disloyalty.

If Aizen didn't exist in Las Noches, the first to rebel would definitely be the Espada.

Afterwards, the clone returned to the original body, chose to revert, and its memories were acquired by the original body.

"Didn't you see Gin Ichimaru? A few minor flaws, but nothing to worry about."

"I have a feeling that Aizen is secretly plotting something big."

Looking down at the pure white tower, and at Rukia.

………………

The next day, a ball of spiritual energy flew in from afar. Shiba Kukaku had already arrived near Seireitei. Sensing Shiba Kukaku's spiritual pressure, Fang Rui sent out a clone to meet him.

The spiritual energy ball shattered the barrier, scattering Ichigo Kurosaki and the others, who fell into the Seireitei, escalating the chaos from that moment on.

Aizen calmly observed the chaos in Seireitei without offering any opinion; in fact, the chaos in Seireitei was more in his interest.

"Go ahead and cause trouble! Let me see who's plotting against me."

The fact that a series of coincidences occurred one after another already indicates that it was not a coincidence.

Obtaining the Hogyoku is important, but knowing who is plotting against him is equally important.

A person hiding in the shadows, constantly watching you and causing you trouble, is just too annoying.

Besides, he can't feel at ease holding the Hogyoku until he finds the person who is hiding.

Kurosaki Ichigo and his companions were running around in the Seireitei. Most people ignored them, leaving the task to the vice-captains and crew members, while the captains simply watched.

Aside from Kenpachi Zaraki, he was the only one who had no other intentions but was just wandering around the Seireitei looking for someone to fight, whether it was Fang Rui or Ichigo Kurosaki.

Of course, Rukia's execution did not stop; the order from the Central 46 was still to accelerate and carry it out ahead of schedule.

The anomaly was obvious, but those who were prepared had no doubts and continued with their preparations.

The story even embellishes the plot, accelerating the pace. In the original story, there were several days of buffer between Ichigo Kurosaki's invasion and Rukia's execution, even giving Ichigo time to train. But this time...

There was clearly not much free time, and the whole process was completed within three days. While Ichigo Kurosaki was practicing his Bankai, Rukia had already been put on the execution platform.

It's hard to say whether Ichigo Kurosaki will be able to save the day this time, and if he fails, how will the story proceed?

A group of people stood near the execution platform. Aizen was also hiding there, quietly watching the situation unfold. There were few people present who were genuinely worried. Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai were quite flustered.

On the other side, when Yoruichi Shihouin told Ichigo Kurosaki that Rukia was about to be executed, Ichigo Kurosaki immediately erupted. Zangetsu, who doted on Ichigo Kurosaki, went even further when he saw this.

Yoruichi Shihouin, who was watching the show from the sidelines, said that the whole plot was very interesting. By the way, this was the first time she had seen a Zanpakuto that was so lenient, although she had never seen one before.

Thinking back to when Kisuke Urahara was training his Bankai, the difference between then and now is truly vast!

Just like intimacy, normally, training for Bankai should involve cultivating intimacy with the Zanpakuto. Once the intimacy level is reached, the Zanpakuto's will will tell the wielder its name.

The entire process can be seen as the Zanpakuto's will testing its wielder. The wielder's every move is observed by the Zanpakuto's will, which judges whether the wielder is qualified through daily observation and tests during interactions.

Simply put, it's not an easy task, and Ichigo Kurosaki's test was a bit too easy.

With Zangetsu deliberately letting him pass the test quickly, Ichigo Kurosaki mastered Bankai and rushed to the execution platform immediately.

Meanwhile, the execution had already begun, with fiery red birds soaring through the air.

"A creation formed by the fusion of Zanpakuto? Unlike regular Zanpakuto, it doesn't have a clear will."

While thinking, Fang Rui habitually touched his face. He felt that the knife was just so-so. Although it seemed to have a lot of energy, it was also very weak.

It works for those below the captain level.

However, if it's someone at the captain level or above, it's quite ordinary.

It's probably a prop created for the sake of creating a sense of ritual; it's a Zanpakuto without will, merely a collection of power.

With all his might, Ichigo Kurosaki finally caught up and stopped the Firebird.

At this point, the scene reaches its finale.

The space around the execution platform suddenly burst open, with dark cracks spreading everywhere, enveloping the platform...

The Void's roar echoed through the air, and crimson flashes flickered.

Chapter 435 The End

Hundreds of crimson beams of light attacked from all directions, covering the small execution platform in crimson light.

Without hesitation, the team captains, who were already prepared, used Instant Step to leave one by one.

As for Rukia, she was carried away by Ichigo Kurosaki and escaped out of the attack range, while Byakuya Kuchiki watched from the side, ready to rescue her at any moment.
