Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 420 The ancestor Arrancar and Saito are immortal!

After the elders discussed it amongst themselves, they...

Tsuna tapped the tea table in front of him, silencing everyone.

"We need to solve a few problems to take down that guy," Tsuna said honestly.

After a slight pause, he said, "Firstly, that guy is extremely strong. I witnessed his power in the human world before. Although it was the human world and everyone couldn't unleash their full potential, it is an undeniable fact that he defeated Unohana Yachiru head-on. Furthermore, after that, he defeated Unohana Yachiru a total of thirteen times in Soul Society."

At this moment, Tsunayoshi Tokina also spoke up, "Everyone is probably very clear about the personality of Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai. If he didn't have absolute certainty, his current attitude towards that man would not be so gentle. This also proves that the man is very difficult to deal with."

"That's right, we should regard him as someone comparable to Yamamoto Genryusai," Tsuna nodded.

The fighting strength of the Tsunayo clan is not particularly outstanding, nor do they possess as many divine weapons as the Shihouin family. Taking down such a ruthless individual would be quite a troublesome matter.

"Secondly, besides us, everyone else is watching him too. Yamamoto Genryusai invited him to join the Shinigami Academy and make him the headmaster of some kind of Oni-do Academy, wasn't that just to keep him under his control? In addition, Yamamoto Genryusai has always been at odds with our Tsunayoshiro family, so we absolutely cannot make a move against that man in Seireitei, or even in Soul Society, otherwise we might face Yamamoto Genryusai's hostility again."

"And there's Unohana Yachiru, I heard she's been getting very close to that man lately."

"Thirdly, the Shihouin family doesn't seem to have any plans recently, but the Kuchiki family has to keep an eye on them. Since the Kuchiki family joined forces with the Tenseiin family, they have been known as the 'head of the four noble families'. They can't sit idly by and watch us seize these benefits without restraint. We must abandon these illusions and regard them as potential enemies, and find a way to restrain the Kuchiki family's actions to prevent them from having any free time to act," Tsuna said slowly on behalf of Makoto.

"Then let's solve the problems one by one," an elder said in a deep voice.

"Let's assume that man is a strongman no less than Yamamoto Genryusai. Then, we first need to find someone with the same level of strength who can defeat him to cooperate with," Tsuna said calmly.

"Finding someone like that in the Soul Society is no easy feat," an elder said, his brow furrowed.

"There are many villains buried in history. These beings were once erased, but with the Great Spiritual Library, we can easily find this person. I already have a target," said Tsuna, speaking on behalf of the speaker.

"Who is it?"

"Arturo Pratidoo," Tsuna said, speaking on behalf of Makoto.

After he uttered the name, the rest of the Tsunayoshiro family looked bewildered, clearly having never heard of this person before.

"After failing to find any records about that man, I had already considered the current situation, so I searched for records of powerful figures in the Great Spirit Book Corridor: Arturo Pratidoo." Tsuna paused slightly at this point, then continued, "It's normal that none of you have heard of him, since the Great Spirit Book Corridor records that he was at least a Vasto Lorde Hollow who existed at least 1,200 years ago."

"A Hollow?" One of the clan elders of Tsunayoshi frowned and said, "Vast Todd-class Hollows are indeed very powerful, even stronger than ordinary Captain-level Shinigami, but I'm afraid there's no one who can rival Yamamoto Genryusai, right?"

"No, this Vasto Lorde-class Hollow almost defeated Yamamoto Genryusai back then. At that time, he single-handedly stormed into Soul Society. In those days, there was no Gotei 13. Yamamoto Genryusai was entrusted by the Central 46 to deal with this guy and was almost defeated. If Arturo hadn't underestimated him, Soul Society would probably have been massacred." Tsuna said sincerely on behalf of the speaker.

"Where is he now?" Tsunayoshi Tokina asked curiously.

"The lowest level of the underground prison beneath the Central 46 Chambers—the Abyss," Tsuna said sincerely.

Arturo Pratido, perhaps even Tsuna and Makoto, are unaware of just how special his existence is.

He was not simply a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow, but an extremely powerful top-tier Hollow who had already awakened his own Hollow nearly two thousand years ago, at least fifteen hundred years ago, before Aizen Sousuke introduced the concept of "Arrancar" to the Soul Society.

It can certainly be called the "Progenitor Arrancar".

His abilities are extremely powerful; he can devour the spiritual power of anyone he kills to strengthen himself. Back then, he single-handedly stormed into Soul Society and almost killed the young Yamamoto Genryusai. In the end, Yamamoto Genryusai only managed to defeat the underestimating Arturo Pratidoo by using the sacred artifact, the Blazing Mirror, issued by the Central 46 Chambers.

Finally, he was sealed in the lowest level of the underground prison, the Mukan, beneath the Central 46 Chambers, receiving the same treatment as Aizen Sousuke later on.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, the Central 46 Chambers completely sealed off all information about this incident and buried it in history. As a result, nowadays, apart from a very few veterans who actually experienced this event, no one in the Soul Society knows that there was such a ruthless person imprisoned in the Muken.

Tsuna, who represents Makoto, is not from that era. He discovered this "blind spot" through the Great Spiritual Book Corridor.

"So you mean we should release him from the Abyss, cooperate with him, and defeat that Spirit Lord?" Gang Midai asked after thinking for a moment.

"That's right, what do you guys think?" Tsuna asked Makoto on behalf of the character.

"That's not appropriate," said a bald old man with a white beard.

Judging from his appearance, he was older than the other so-called elders, and he hadn't spoken until now, so he was obviously a big shot in the Tsunayoshi family.

Even Tsuna, acting as Makoto's representative, straightened his expression and humbly asked, "Grandpa, what do you think?"

"You mentioned in your previous discussions that you can't take action in Soul Society. In that case, the only suitable location is Hueco Mundo. But don't you think it's too far-fetched to want to cooperate with a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow in Hueco Mundo? Once he leaves Mugen, it's fine in Soul Society, but once he returns to Hueco Mundo, we will no longer have any means to control this Arturo Pratidoo. At that time, it wouldn't be surprising what he does. How can you guarantee that this plan can continue?" The bald elder said in a calm tone.

After a pause, the bald clan elder said, "I think you'll recommend a second candidate later, as a pawn to restrain Yamamoto Genryusai and the Kuchiki family in Soul Society during this operation in Hueco Mundo, right? Who is it? Why not switch their roles? Let this Arturo cause a ruckus in Soul Society, restraining Yamamoto Genryusai, the Kuchiki family, and even the Gotei 13, and then use the person you originally wanted to restrain them in Hueco Mundo to deal with this Spirit Lord?"

"But this would probably cause great damage to Soul Society. After all, it's a Vasto Lorde-level Hollow." Tsuna said hesitantly.

"When did you become such a weak person? For the future and glory of us, the lowly people of Soul Society, what does it matter if rivers of blood flow? What does it matter if Yamamoto Genryusai dies? The Gotei 13 is just an organization established five hundred years ago. Even if they are all wiped out, it will not affect the million-year history of Soul Society. At worst, we can rebuild the order after we have supreme power." The bald clan elder said in a ruthless tone.

Yamamoto Genryusai and Kuchiki Ginryu's assessment that the Tsuna-Yashiro family was too selfish and extremely radical was indeed not without merit.

After a moment of silence, Tsuna nodded and said, "Since you say so, Grandpa..."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

As he said this, he looked at the other elders and noticed that although there was some hesitation on their faces, it was quickly replaced by greed and ruthlessness. So he said in a deep voice, "Then let's make some adjustments and let this Vastod-class Hollow restrain Yamamoto Genryusai and the Kuchiki family in Soul Society."

"So, who was the person you originally intended to use to restrain Yamamoto Genryusai and the Kuchiki family?" the bald elder asked again.

"Saito is immortal." Tsuna said sincerely on behalf of the emperor.

As soon as he finished speaking, compared to the confusion and bewilderment he showed when the Arturo thing was mentioned earlier, among the Tsunayoshiro family members, apart from the young man Tsunayoshiro Tokina who looked somewhat puzzled, the rest of the old guys all had complicated expressions.

Tsuna hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Is this Saito, who is immortal, the one I remember? The first captain of the 6th Division of the Gotei 13?"

Tsuna glanced at Tsuna Tokina, then nodded and said, "That's right, it's her."

"He's quite a good candidate. That madman has a deep-seated hatred for the Kuchiki family and Yamamoto Genryusai. He's also quite powerful," the bald elder remarked.

Tsunayoshi Tokinada was clearly very curious about this and couldn't help but ask, "Is this first captain of the Sixth Division still alive? Where is she? Apart from having heard her name, I know nothing about her. How come all of you elders seem to know something about her?"

"Only five hundred years have passed, and the Kuchiki family has almost completely erased her existence?" The bald clan elder, seeing that Tsunayoshiro was completely unaware of this situation, clicked his tongue with a sigh and then said, "Saito, the immortal Sixth Division, don't you think this has a lot to do with the Kuchiki family?"

"Saito.ki? Kuchiki. Immortal? The Sixth Division is now the succession of the Kuchiki family. Could they have been a family?" Tsuna asked Tokina with some uncertainty.

"That's right." Tsuna nodded on behalf of Makoto. "More than 500 years ago, Yhwach led the Quincy to attack Soul Society. Yamamoto Genryusai formed the first Gotei 13 and defeated Yhwach in a head-on battle. Saito, who is immortal, was one of them. Her former surname was Kuchiki."

"Is that really so!?" Tsunayoshi Tokina exclaimed in surprise.

"She was originally supposed to become the head of the Kuchiki family in that generation, but because of her eccentric personality and somewhat crazy nature, she was regarded as an oddball by the Kuchiki family and was ostracized. Later, she simply announced her departure from the Kuchiki family and changed her name to 'Saito Immortal,' which was completely the opposite of the Kuchiki family's surname," Tsuna said on behalf of the family.

Then, the bald clan elder added, "I personally experienced that era. The first generation of the Gotei 13 is now considered the strongest in history, and there's a reason for that. In the past five hundred years, apart from Yamamoto Genryusai and Unohana Yachiru, the other captains have been just so-so. But back then, these thirteen captains were all incredibly powerful. Even Yamamoto Genryusai couldn't completely subdue them. Among them, the most troublesome were Unohana Yachiru and Saito, who was immortal."

"After the bloody battle with the Quincy, Yamamoto Genryusai was officially appointed by the Central 46 to transform the originally unorthodox Gotei 13 into a legitimate armed guard within the Seireitei. This meant that the Gotei 13 went from an assassin organization to a 'guard force,' and it was from this period that Yamamoto Genryusai began to have many conflicts with those unruly first captains," said the bald clan elder.

"Saito is immortal, and he nearly changed the history of Soul Society during this conflict," Tsuna said sincerely on behalf of the group.
