"Hey... what's your name, Hade? Can I become the Grim Reaper before we fight? You don't want to win unfairly, do you?"

“Boring. Tell me where Kubo Aizen is, and I'll spare your lives.”

Do you think I'm the kind of person who would obediently comply if threatened?

Damn it! I must wear gloves with me next time, otherwise, it would be terrible to be unable to turn into the Grim Reaper when danger comes!

It's all my fault for trusting Rukia's abilities too much, which is why this happened.

Suddenly, the door to the small room opened, and Kubo slowly walked out.

"Stop! The person you're looking for is me. Don't hurt them. I'll go with you."

"What are you doing out here? Mr. Kubo, this is definitely not the time for you to show your manliness!" Kurosaki Ichigo was speechless.

As a bodyguard sent by Soul Society, the consequences of allowing the person he was protecting to be captured are unimaginable.

At that time, Aizen would definitely extort a large sum of money from him.

If their assets in the Soul Society are also taken away, they'll have to sleep under a bridge.

Thinking of the consequences, Ichigo Kurosaki disregarded everything else and immediately reached into Rukia Kuchiki's skirt pocket, groping around.

He took out gloves, put them on, and patted them on his chest. Instantly, his soul left his body, and Ichigo, the Shinigami, appeared.

Chapter 369, Section 370: Everything is Under Control

"Come on! If you want to take him away, then step over my dead body!"

Kurosaki Ichigo gripped Zangetsu tightly and tentatively unleashed a Getsuga Tenshou, while simultaneously charging forward at top speed.

boom!

In just a brief moment, Ichigo Kurosaki flew back at an even faster speed, and Zangetsu was broken in two.

His clothes were tattered, his body was covered in wounds, and he stared weakly at Hasward.

Seeing this, Kubo Aizen suddenly spoke:

"You haven't forgotten the conditions from before, have you? Let him go, and I'll go with you."

"Of course I will not forget, as you wish."

Hasward sheathed his weapon and said:

"Time is running out. Take Kubo Aizen with you and return to the Wandenreich."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, several Quincy immediately walked to Kubo's side and grabbed him from both sides.

Rukia Kuchiki only regained her mobility after all the Quincy disappeared.

Feeling that she could move again, she quickly ran to Ichigo Kurosaki's side and used her healing technique to treat him.

"Fortunately, it was just a superficial injury, but my Zanpakuto is broken and I have to go back to Soul Society to repair it."

"Kubo, Kubo-sensei has been taken away by them! We must notify Aizen immediately!"

Ichigo Kurosaki struggled to stand up, but Rukia Kuchiki pressed him to the ground.

"Don't move! The wound has reopened."

"Rukia, Kubo-sensei has been taken away, why aren't you worried at all!"

"Do you really think that's Mr. Kubo?"

"What do you mean? Who else could it be but Kubo-sensei?"

"Idiot, I'll explain in a bit."

About a minute later, Ichigo Kurosaki's wounds began to heal, and he regained his mobility.

"Fortunately, Terashima and the others had all fainted, saving us the trouble of explaining."

Rukia Kuchiki breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Ichigo Kurosaki up, and slowly walked towards the half-closed small room.

"There should be some kind of mechanism here, Ichigo, you should look around too."

"Uh...you don't actually suspect that the Kubo we just saw was a fake? How could that be? We've been here all day, practically never leaving his side. How could he have been switched?"

"No, when he was here, we were all in the living room outside, and we didn't see him at all."

As she spoke, Rukia Kuchiki lifted the tatami mat, revealing a downward staircase.

"Ichigo, we've found him!"

"Isn't this the second floor? How come there's a basement?"

"They probably bought the first floor as well and then extended it downwards to create a basement."

The two walked down the stairs one after the other and soon saw Kubo pacing anxiously back and forth in the basement.

"Kubo-sensei!" Kurosaki Ichigo exclaimed in surprise. "Kubo is here, then who was the person who was just taken away?"

"what?"

Kubo (Shin) instinctively wanted to ask for details, but remembering Aizen's instructions before leaving, and worried that the two were bluffing him, he quickly changed his story:

"Who are you? Why didn't my brother come?"

"Huh...?"

Ichigo Kurosaki was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and couldn't help but look at Rukia Kuchiki:

"Rukia, I understand! The pen name Kubo Aizen was actually used by three people. Besides Aizen, who provided the Shinigami information, there were also two twins named Kubo."

"What do you know?" Rukia Kuchiki couldn't help but tap him on the head, laughing and scolding, "Idiot, didn't I just make it very clear? Kubo-sensei's personality has changed drastically these past few days, it's all fake."

Upon seeing this, Kubo quickly retorted:

"No, I am Kubo's younger brother, whom you all know. What this young man said earlier is correct; this pen name is used by three people."

"Mr. Kubo, please stop misleading us, or this idiot might actually believe it."

Rukia Kuchiki paused for a moment, then said seriously:

"Let me be blunt. All this time, Captain Aizen has been impersonating you, hasn't he?"

"Huh...? Aizen?"

Kurosaki Ichigo gasped in surprise, his face full of confusion as he said:

"Is it really Aizen? What on earth is that guy up to? He sent us to protect Kubo, and then he himself impersonated Kubo without us even realizing it. Is he playing us for a fool?"

"No, I think we're just bait. After all, given the strength of those Quincy, if they really wanted to protect Kubo-sensei, they wouldn't just send the two of us."

Seeing that Kubo seemed about to object, Rukia Kuchiki spoke again:

"Please stop acting, Mr. Kubo. Your acting is terrible. We are Captain Aizen's colleagues, and we came here specifically to protect you."

Kubo fell silent, hesitant about whether to reveal his identity.

If we acknowledge our identities, will it cause inconvenience to Mr. Aizen's work?

After a long silence, he decided to trust the two of them.

"How is Mr. Aizen?"

"Don't worry, Captain Aizen has everything under control," Rukia Kuchiki replied without hesitation.

......

Meanwhile, Kubo Aizen, led by a group of Quincy, arrived at the Wandenreich hidden in the shadow of Seireitei.

'So this is how you enter the Wandenreich. No wonder I couldn't find any trace of the Quincy no matter how many times I scanned with Observation Haki.'

Because it is a space composed of spiritual particles, it is naturally difficult to detect using conventional methods.

However, now that I have personally entered this place, it will always be like a guiding light in my eyes.

"Your Majesty, Kubo Aizen has been brought here."

"You all go back upstairs, I need to talk to him alone for a bit."

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye, only Yhwach and Aizen, who resembled Kubo, remained in the King's Village.

Yhwach, seated on his throne, scrutinized Kubo from head to toe before slowly speaking:

"who are you?"

"Manga artist Aizen Kubo".

"Is this a pen name? What's your real name?"

Here we go again. Come to think of it, I've never asked Kubo's full name.

Fortunately, Aizen had already considered a contingency plan when Rukia Kuchiki tested him that morning.

"For manga artists, pen name is everything; apart from Kubo Aizen's name, real name has no meaning whatsoever."

"You are peculiar; I cannot see your future."

"Isn't this normal?"

"I see... I apologize for inviting you here, because after reading your comics, I have a question."

"Please speak."

"Which came first, comics or the world?"

Upon hearing this, Aizen fell silent.

This is a question. In itself, comics are naturally ahead of the world, but who knows if comics will be the next big thing?

What kind of answer are you hoping for?

"I see, I understand now."

Yhwach nodded slightly, as if he understood something.

"Mr. Kubo, would you like to stay here and become my subordinate?"
