Chapter 432 The Gotei 13 Suffers Heavy Losses

Bane's body returned to its original form, but Yamamoto Genryusai still seemed a little dazed.

Seeing Bane's gaze turn towards him, he couldn't help but ask, "Spirit Lord, what was that spell just now?"

"Didn't you say that sealing techniques could solve that guy's problem? So I used sealing techniques, and the effect was indeed quite good." Bane patted his stomach and said.

This is like stating the obvious; it's as if you haven't said anything at all.

But Yamamoto Genryusai understood what he meant: Bane was unwilling to explain further.

Seeing this, Yamamoto Genryusai stopped asking questions, withdrew his Bankai, and the Zankatana gradually disappeared, returning to the form of a cane Zanpakuto, which he held in his hand.

With this action, the increasingly hot air inside Seireitei stopped heating up.

Glancing at the devastated Seireitei, Yamamoto Genryusai's expression gradually darkened. He said in a deep voice, "The Tsunayoshiro clan has committed heinous crimes, disregarding the safety of the Central Forty-Six Chambers and plotting to wreak havoc on the Seireitei. They deserve to die!"

At this point, Yamamoto Genryusai looked at the Second Division Captain, Shihouin Ryoya, and said, "Captain Shihouin, I have already ordered Captain Kuchiki to lead the Sixth Division to seal off the noble district and suppress the Tsunayashiro family. Now that the trouble here has been quelled, you should quickly lead the Second Division to provide support and make sure to suppress the entire Tsunayashiro family. We will then await orders from the Central Forty-Six Chambers and the Spirit King Palace."

Ryoya Shihōin gave Genryūsai Yamamoto a deep look.

He did indeed dislike the Tsunayoshi family, but the Tsunayoshi family was one of the four great noble families. Although the fault for today's disaster lay with the Tsunayoshi family, Yamamoto Genryusai's indulgence was also a factor.

Judging from Yamamoto Genryusai's words, it is clear that he intends to exterminate the Tsunayoshi family, which inevitably touches Shihouin Ryoya's heart.

It's not so much a case of "the rabbit mourns the fox's death," but the thought is still there.

However, in the end, Ryoya Shihouin nodded and said, "Yes, Captain-Commander."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the area in a flash.

Seeing that Shihouin Ryoya had gone to carry out the order, Yamamoto Genryusai breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although the Tsunayo family is one of the four great noble families, in reality, the Shihouin family is the one that truly troubles Yamamoto Genryusai.

After all, the other nobles only held monopolies over resources, while the Shihouin family truly had a large number of private soldiers. The Second Division had the most members among the Gotei 13, and the Hidden Mobile Force included the Execution Squad, the Patrol Squad, the Supervision Squad, the Flying Squad, and the Secret Service Squad, encompassing a considerable number of people.

It can be said that the Second Division is essentially a mini Gotei 13.

Furthermore, the Shihōin family has been passed down through generations, making them completely impenetrable and airtight.

Its history is so long that it is even older than the Gotei 13 founded by Yamamoto Genryusai.

Fortunately, the Shihōin family has a good relationship with Yamamoto Genryūsai and is a staunch force in maintaining the Soul King Palace. To some extent, the existence of the Shihōin family is also a check and balance between the Soul King Palace and the Central 46 Chambers on the Gotei 13.

Yamamoto Genryusai naturally understood this problem, so he was very clear that he had no reason or position to take action against the Shihōin family.

The Shihouin family was clearly aware of this situation, and therefore never considered extending their reach to the Second Division to further erode the power of the Gotei 13.

Both sides maintaining rationality and restraint, and preserving a delicate balance, is what the Spirit King Palace and the Central Forty-Six Chambers would like to see.

After Shihouin Ryouya left, Yamamoto Genryusai looked at Bane and asked, "What about Hueco Mundo?"

"Including the captain of the Fourth Division, seven people from the Tsunayo family went, including the head of the family, Tsunayo Tokina. However, they have all been dealt with. I captured Tsunayo Tokina; perhaps he will be useful to the Captain-Commander." As Bane spoke, he waved his hand and released a dark surge, throwing the unconscious Tsunayo Tokina at Yamamoto Genryusai's feet.

Yamamoto Genryusai nudged Tsunayoshi Tokina with his cane. Seeing that he was still breathing, he pondered for a moment and said, "Very well, with him here, we can confirm the Tsunayoshi family's conspiracy and crimes, making it easier for me to eliminate them completely."

Bane nodded, then added, "I also encountered the first captain of the Sixth Division, Saito, who is immortal, over there, but I couldn't kill her; she ran very fast."

"Saito?" A complex look flashed in Yamamoto Genryusai's eyes. After a moment, he said, "The Ninth Division is really in big trouble. I have noticed that some members of the Gotei 13 have been influenced by the Tsunayashiro family. I didn't expect that even Tenbu Ross would become their lackey, daring to take such a risk and release the criminals from the Infernal Affairs!"

"It seems the losses are quite severe?" Bane asked, stroking his chin.

"Tenmu Ross's death is not a pity." Yamamoto Genryusai said with a grim expression, "However, the Eleventh Division Captain, Genryu Kenpachi, died in the line of duty, and we don't know what happened to Nora Heiwa of the Third Division. In addition, the soldiers have obviously suffered heavy casualties, but because all the spiritual pressure and spirit bodies were absorbed by the Undying King, we will have to wait for the results to make a total of the statistics."

Including the captain of the Fourth Division, Tsunayoshiro Tokinada, the Gotei 13 has lost three captains. One captain is seriously injured and it is unknown whether he can return to his post. Ukitake Jushiro, Kyoraku Shunsui, and others have also suffered injuries, and a large number of soldiers have died. It can be said that they have lost nearly a quarter of their strength.

The losses were indeed severe.

This shows that the Tsunayoshiro family is quite formidable.

After Ukitake Jushiro and the others saw that the situation here was alright, they quickly took Kyoraku Shunsui to receive treatment.

After Bann and Yamamoto Genryusai exchanged a few more words, they saw the Sixth Division Captain, Kuchiki Ginrin, quickly arriving from a distance.

"Captain-in-Chief, Lord Spirit Lord." Kuchiki Ginryu greeted Bane and Yamamoto Genryusai with great composure.

"How is the situation?" Yamamoto Genryusai asked.

"The members of the Tsunayoshiro family who stubbornly resisted have all been killed, and a few remaining members have been taken into custody by the Second Division," said Kuchiki Ginrin.

"Have you found anything out of the investigation?" Yamamoto Genryusai asked again.

As for those remaining people being detained by the Second Division, that was to be expected; Yamamoto Genryusai sent Shihouin Ryoya with this purpose in mind.

After all, the Ninth Division is no longer trustworthy. The captain is a lackey of the Tsunayo family. As for the situation among the members, vice-captains, and seat officers, Yamamoto Genryusai dared not make a judgment.

It's impossible to imprison the Tsunayo family in the Ninth Division's large prison; otherwise, wouldn't that be tantamount to embezzlement?

Upon hearing this, Kuchiki Ginryu first glanced at Bane, then said, "There are some clues. For example, the Tsunayashiro family's initial plan for this turmoil was not like this. They originally wanted to release Saito, the immortal, to wreak havoc on the Seireitei, and bring the Undying King to Hueco Mundo to suppress Lord Spirit Lord. However, they later carried out the opposite operation."

At this point, Kuchiki Ginryu couldn't help but look at Bane and ask, "Lord Spirit Lord, are you in Hueco Mundo?"

"I saw her, but I didn't catch her. She got away. I have to say, she's very capable." Bane naturally understood what Kuchiki Ginryu meant and immediately responded.

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

Kuchiki Ginryu's expression was also somewhat complicated. Saito Immortal was his ancestor, which was a historical issue left over from the Kuchiki family. In the past, it was fine that Saito Immortal was imprisoned in the Abyss.

Now that he has been released by the Tsunayo family, and has not yet been captured, he has escaped into Hueco Mundo. It is likely that even the Gotei 13 will have a hard time reaching in and finding him.

That means the Kuchiki family has been given another hidden danger by the Tsunayo family, and who knows when it might cause trouble again.

This made Kuchiki Ginrei even more unhappy, thinking that she must wipe out the entire Tsunayo family this time, those bastards never do anything right.

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Genryusai said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, they changed their plans, otherwise it would have been a much bigger problem."

Although the Tsunayo family's plan now seems somewhat ridiculous and absurd, and ultimately failed completely, even such a ridiculous and absurd plan still resulted in the annihilation of a quarter of the Gotei 13's strength. From this perspective, the plan was undoubtedly still very destructive.

In Yamamoto Genryusai's view, if the roles of the Immortal King and Saito's immortality were switched, the harm would be even greater!

Firstly, given the lack of intelligence, in Hueco Mundo, a battlefield where immortal kings reign supreme, the Spirit Lord alone might not be able to deal with the Tsuna-Yayo family and the immortal Saito family as quickly as he could. He would most likely be delayed in Hueco Mundo and unable to return to Seireitei.

Although Saito was imprisoned for nearly five hundred years, the Seireitei had not changed much during those five hundred years. Once she appeared in the Seireitei, it was as if she had returned to her "home turf" and was very familiar with the place.

In addition to her elusive spatial abilities and the destructive power and harm that her troublesome Bankai could bring, it was no less than the damage caused by the Immortal King in Seireitei.

Yamamoto Genryusai thought for a moment and realized that among the current Gotei 13, there was probably no one who could break through Saito Immortal's Radiant Heavenly Treasure: Infinite Mystery. Only he, Yamamoto Genryusai, had that strength.

But this means he has to resort to brute force to solve this problem. With Saito's immortality and the endless mysteries that could cover most of Seireitei, if he were to break through by force, it would be equivalent to completely destroying most of Seireitei, and it would take hundreds of years to recover, just like the scorched earth of Rukongai.

How painful will it be for Seireitei then?

Moreover, given Saito's immortal nature, he might just launch a surprise attack and wipe out the entire Kuchiki family.

The Kuchiki family is a key ally of Yamamoto Genryusai; how could this loss be small?

Even following this line of thought, the Tsunayo family might not be unable to win. Of course, this is on the premise that the Soul King Palace does not intervene.

However, if they were in Hueco Mundo, and had truly restrained or even suppressed the Spirit Lord, then with the Pure Land as their backup, they would indeed be able to both attack and defend.

It might become a major disaster in the future!

However, upon further reflection, Yamamoto Genryusai felt that this was impossible. How could someone as arrogant as the Undying King be manipulated by the Tsunayoshi family? If it were really as planned, the Tsunayoshi family might have been wiped out and eaten like spiritual pressure cookies as soon as they met the Undying King in Hueco Mundo.

Gathering his thoughts, Yamamoto Genryusai looked at Bane again and said, "Thank you very much for your help this time, Lord Spirit Lord. However, our Gotei 13 suffered heavy losses and there are still many things to arrange. I won't say anything more to you for now. Once everything has settled down, I would like to invite you to come to the headquarters for a chat."

"Haha, it's alright, Captain-General, please go ahead with your work." Bane laughed and waved his hand dismissively.

Yamamoto Genryusai's meaning was quite clear: once he had sorted things out, Bane would naturally offer him his benefits.

In this respect, Yamamoto Genryusai was quite shrewd; he didn't intend to take advantage of Ben for free.

Clearly, this riot has solidified the previously somewhat unstable and ambiguous cooperative relationship between Bane and Yamamoto Genryusai.

To a certain extent, both sides have reached a tacit understanding and consensus.
