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

Chapter 479 Aizen: First, drag Orochimaru into this mess!

"Bankai?" Bane sat up slightly upon hearing this and asked curiously, "Are you confident?"

"Yes," Orochimaru replied softly.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door again. Kenpachi Kuruyashiki peeked out, smiled, and greeted him, "Aizen-kun, you're here."

"Captain Kuruyashiki." Aizen Sousuke greeted Kuruyashiki Kenpachi with a warm smile.

After a slight pause, Aizen asked, "Is Master busy?"

"No, come in," Bane greeted him upon hearing the voice.

At the same time, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki yawned, waved his hand, and said, "I'll invite you to Hueco Mundo next time. You guys chat, I need to go back and think about how to appease my lovely and skilled subordinates."

After saying that, he left without waiting for anyone else to speak.

Aizen Sousuke then entered the room, but after he came in, he casually closed the door that had been open.

Undoubtedly, this action also indicates that he has some topics to discuss that he needs to avoid in public.

Seeing this, Orochimaru asked directly, "Should I step aside for a moment?"

"Of course not," Aizen Sousuke said with a smile. "Orochimaru-sensei, please go first."

Orochimaru hadn't closed the door, so he obviously didn't care whether anyone heard him or not, which is why Aizen didn't suggest avoiding the area.

Orochimaru nodded, then asked, "Let's go back to the previous topic. Is there anything you need to tell me about my trip to the human world?"

"It doesn't seem like anything," Bane said after a moment's thought.

However, after a slight pause, he added, "That's not right either. When you go to the human world this time, pay close attention to the methods of those Quincy, and then find some troublemakers, capture them and study them carefully, especially the pure-blooded Quincy. Perhaps there will be a use for this research in the future."

"That suits me perfectly. Actually, even if you hadn't said anything, I would have done the same thing. Not only me, Mayuri Kurotsuchi thought the same thing," Orochimaru said calmly.

"You can't stop talking about Mayuri Kurotsuchi. Isn't Kisuke Urahara also in your Technology Development Bureau? You should spend more time with him, instead of engaging in workplace bullying here!" Bane couldn't help but complain.

When Urahara Kisuke was mentioned, Orochimaru said with a slightly helpless expression, "We probably just don't get along."

Clearly, he didn't like hanging out with Kisuke Urahara, but according to information that Bane and Yoruichi occasionally gathered to drink and chat, Urahara really enjoyed talking to Orochimaru, and would go to see Orochimaru almost whenever he had free time. The relationship between the two is really complicated.

After Orochimaru finished speaking, Bane looked at Aizen, his expression slightly more serious, and asked, "What is it?"

"It's somewhat related to what Orochimaru-sensei just said. Aren't we in the Eighth Division also heading to the human world in a few days? So I wanted to ask you if there's anything you need to tell me." Aizen asked in a very calm tone, with a hint of seeking advice.

However, it was clear that Bane had already given the answer, so Aizen didn't wait for a response. Instead, he asked curiously, "Master, you asked Orochimaru to keep a close eye on the Quincy, and even to capture a few for research. Is that because of Yhwach?"

"Hmm?" Bane was somewhat surprised and looked at Aizen, asking, "Where did you hear the name Yhwach from? I didn't mention that guy to you, did I?"

"I read it in the Great Spirit Book Corridor." Aizen Sousuke was always so frank with Bane, daring to say anything.

Bane?

Orochimaru, standing nearby, looked at Aizen with a surprised expression and asked, "The Great Spirit Book Corridor? Since the destruction of the Tsunayoshiro family, that place isn't open to anyone without the approval of the Central 46, is it?"

Could it be that the Eighth Division's authority has secretly expanded, allowing even the three seats to enter the Great Spirit Book Corridor?

Aizen Sousuke's expression remained unchanged, still displaying his gentle and sunny demeanor. However, he spoke of illegal and disorderly conduct, saying, "It's true that people aren't allowed in, but I've managed to sneak in many times, and so far, I've never been caught, so it's fine."

Orochimaru looked at Aizen for a moment, then burst out laughing, saying, "It has to be you. I might do some borderline things, but you completely ignore serious crimes."

Aizen looked at Bane and asked hesitantly, "Is it wrong for me to do this?"

"The reason you chose to join the Eighth Division was for the Great Spirit Book Corridor?" Bane asked, as if he had just realized something.

"Pretty much, of course, also because the Eighth Division is closer to you," Aizen Sousuke said.

"You rascal." Bane raised his hand and scratched his head, then sighed helplessly, "I knew you would do some messy things. Oh well, just remember to clean up the mess and don't let anyone find out. If it comes to light, I'll pretend I don't know you've been there and lock you up in a big prison for hundreds of years."

"Don't worry, teacher, no one will find out." Aizen was much more relaxed after receiving Bane's approval and said with a smile.

Although his life has undergone many changes and he has changed as a person, he remains quite proud and very confident in his actions.

For example, if he didn't bring it up, Bane wouldn't know that he had sneaked into the Great Book of Spirituality multiple times.

Without dwelling on the issue, Aizen continued, "According to the records in the Great Spiritual Scroll, Yhwach died in that bloody battle, but his body was retrieved by his surviving subordinates who risked their lives to escape Soul Society. After returning to the Human World, he disappeared without a trace, and his whereabouts have not been traced to this day. Sensei, do you believe that the records in the Great Spiritual Scroll are incorrect? That Yhwach did not die? Is that why you asked Orochimaru to pay attention to the Quincy and prepare for the potential chaos that may arise in the future?"

After a slight pause, Aizen asked, "Should I search the mortal realm for any trace of Yhwach and the other remnants?"

"You've got quite a lot of connections. It seems you really did see a lot of things in the Great Book Gallery. Speaking of which, how did they record my story there? I'm quite curious," Bane asked with a chuckle.

Bane had never paid attention to or ventured into the Great Spiritual Library, hence his question.

Aizen shook his head upon hearing this and said, "So far, I have discovered two beings in the Great Spirit Book Corridor that cannot be recorded. One is a former complete Spirit King, and the other is you. Therefore, there are no records about you in the Great Spirit Book Corridor. I can only investigate from the perspective of my interactions with you."

"You little rascal, you really were secretly investigating me in the Great Book of Spirits corridor!" Bane said with a laugh.

Aizen was taken aback. Perhaps because he trusted his teacher too much, he had unknowingly been tricked into revealing information. He then scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

However, he also realized that his teacher didn't seem to be angry about it, which emboldened him even more.

"As for Yhwach and all that you mentioned, he's dead, but not quite. He's currently in the process of being resurrected, so there's no need to go to the mortal world to look for him," Bane replied.

Upon hearing this, Aizen Sousuke asked with some curiosity, "Resurrected? Is he hiding somewhere?"

The latest novel is first published here!

"Right beneath your feet." Bane pointed to the shadow beneath Aizen's feet and said, "In the shadows of Seireitei."

If Yhwach still possessed self-awareness, then Bane might have closed himself off, sealing off space and shadows with darkness before discussing such matters, lest Yhwach overhear.

But he knew very well that Yhwach had not yet regained consciousness and was now a living dead, so there was no need to worry about him. The other Quincy of the Wandenreich were not yet able to hear what he was saying from these shadows!

"Huh?" Aizen and Orochimaru both looked down in surprise.

"Alright, that's all for now. If you're interested, you can figure it out yourselves. I won't say any more." Bane didn't delve into the matter of Yhwach and casually ended the topic.

This made Aizen, who had originally wanted to ask more questions, fall silent for a moment, and finally decide that he would investigate it himself when he had time.

On the contrary, Orochimaru looked at Aizen with an extremely eager gaze. When Aizen noticed, he felt his scalp tingle. After all, Orochimaru's pupils were too cold and sinister. When he suddenly looked at you like that, it was as if he wanted to prey on you and swallow you whole.

"Orochimaru-sensei?" Aizen called out softly.

Orochimaru then withdrew his eager gaze and said with a smile, "I'm also very interested in the knowledge recorded in the Great Spirit Book Corridor. How many people are suitable for your infiltration?"

"Hey, you're getting excited too, aren't you?" Bane couldn't help but complain.

"Knowledge is power. The things recorded in the Great Spirit Book's corridor may very well give me new inspiration, allowing me to create technologies that can benefit the Soul Society with a completely new approach. This is a righteous and good thing," Orochimaru argued.

Aizen Sousuke, standing to the side, smirked slightly. He brought up the Great Spirit Book Corridor in front of Orochimaru, mainly because his teacher, Bane, had asked about it. Aizen never liked to lie to his teachers, so he answered frankly.

But at the same time, in that instant, he also had the idea of ​​using the Great Spirit Book Corridor as bait to lure Orochimaru-sensei.

Because he knew very well that once Orochimaru learned that he could secretly enter and exit the Great Spirit Book Corridor and obtain knowledge from there, it would be impossible for him not to take the bait!

In particular, he knew even better that Orochimaru was just like him, someone who didn't follow the usual path, didn't take laws and regulations seriously, and had no mental burdens!

His captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, would always have one phrase on his lips whenever the Great Spirit Book Corridor was mentioned.

Aizen also strongly agreed with this statement.

That is, "The more you know, the harder it is to control your greed."

Rather than calling it greed, Aizen believed that "ambition" would be a more appropriate term.

Aizen still couldn't figure out his teacher's thoughts and style of doing things, so he felt that he should do more in the process of understanding his teacher. The fact that he went drinking with Orochimaru with Hirako Shinji was a beginning.

Now, he's preparing to go even further and drag Orochimaru down with him first!

With more knowledge, Orochimaru will surely come up with many ideas. When they find themselves in the same situation, they can definitely have a good exchange of these ideas!

"Once this operation in the mortal realm is completed, I will invite you to the Twelfth Division when I next visit the Great Spirit Book Corridor, Orochimaru-sensei," Aizen said with a smile, looking at Orochimaru.

"I have a feeling that there's something sinister about your smile," Orochimaru said with a chuckle, licking his lips with his long, thin tongue.

Before Aizen could speak, he continued, "But I must admit, your bait is too tempting for me, so I'll wait for you to invite me."
