Seeing how determined he was, no one else dared to stop him.

"Then I'll rest for a bit too..."

Madarame Ikkaku simply sat down next to him to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation to attack him.

"Thank you."

Sasuke glanced at Madarame Ikkaku beside him, smiled and thanked him, then continued to look at the chaotic situation.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni got angry, so he took Ukitake Jushiro and Kyoraku Shunsui to fight in another location.

The three of them, master and apprentices, were quite in sync; they knew they needed to change locations for their act.

Soi Fon led her men to eliminate several vice-captains and seated officers who were causing trouble, and then Yoruichi Shihouin appeared and took them to a distant place to fight.

Ichigo Kurosaki confronted Byakuya Kuchiki, and the two drifted further and further apart as they fought.

As for Rukia, when Renji was about to take her away, she for some reason let Renji carry her to Sasuke's side, and they simply sat together to watch the show.

This attitude shows that they don't consider themselves outsiders at all.

Sasuke had no objection to this, and even turned around to give Rukia and Renji a smile.

In that instant of smiling, he and his shadow clone switched places. The shadow clone, still holding the cat, now had two small bells missing from the black cat's neck.

Because Sasuke didn't make any move, and the black cat was curled up in his arms, no one would notice that the bell had disappeared.

In the main residence of the Shihouin family, Sasuke, holding a long sword of gold and silver, stood hidden in the air, looking down at the dense crowd below, and revealed a cruel smile.

The Shihōin family is very powerful, and it has many affiliated families.

Some of these companies are involved in the production of so-called "miracle weapons".

Those magical artifacts have both good and bad aspects.

The good ones were used openly to maintain the prestige of the Shihōin family's divinely bestowed weapons.

Drugs with significant side effects are usually used secretly and discreetly; once discovered, they're attributed to someone's selfish motives...

Now, these demonized 'artifacts' are worn by members of these affiliated families.

Each with their own reasons, they entered from multiple directions, led by several elders of the Shihōin family.

"Swastika, the dance of sound!"

Sasuke used Phantom's swastika for the first time.

Although this is only one of the Bankai, it is enough.

As his Bankai was activated, the gold and silver Zanpakuto in his hand transformed into two beams of light and scattered.

The light reunited and transformed into a one-meter-tall girl wearing a golden retro-style dance costume, with silver hair longer than her floor-length skirt.

"Huan Yin greets Master. Please enjoy this piece, the Sound of Slaughter, the Dance of Carnage!"

The little girl bowed gracefully to Sasuke, then turned and jumped into the air above the Shihouin family compound.

The moment she raised her hand, waves of spiritual energy rippled out from around Huan Yin, and the silent sound waves, along with the dance movements, quickly covered the entire sky.

During the dance, the sound of the bells was deliberately suppressed; only ambition swelled and murderous intent grew stronger.

"The Shihōin family..."

Sasuke stood in the air, looking down at the nobles below, whose ambitions were rapidly fermenting due to their thirst for power.

The demonized 'artifacts' they brought also began to erode the consciousness of these nobles.

The two forces were at work simultaneously, and what was originally intended as a gathering that combined threats and negotiations had turned into a killing spree.

The battle is about to begin; the victor will reign supreme!

Whoever survives to the end, all the resources left behind by their opponents will belong to that survivor!

No one voiced this thought, yet they all shared the same idea.

A fierce, life-or-death battle has erupted!

"Master, a few of them are trying to escape!"

The dance of the illusory voice continued, and the sound of the bells became a melody.

She was somewhat displeased when she saw someone trying to escape the frenzied killing.

For Huanyin, this was the first time her master had used her to create this illusion, and it was an opportunity for her master to approve of her. If she made a mistake, she would definitely be disliked by her master again.

"The fact that they chose to leave at this time means that they truly have no ambition or murderous intent. There is no need to stop those who can leave."

Sasuke didn't intend to wipe them out completely, because many members of the Shihōin family were on missions in various regions. He only needed to eliminate the Shihōin family's aristocratic concept.

"Yes!"

Although Huan Yin was not in a good mood, she obediently stopped targeting the people who had escaped.

"The sound fades, the dance ends, all is but a dream..."

As the music ended, the girl who had been dancing just moments before vanished once more in a flash of light.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Sasuke looked at the ruins of the Shihōin residence, now filled with blood and corpses, and ran his fingers over the two bells that had appeared in his palm.

It worked well; thank you for your hard work, little one.

Chapter 193 Today is truly a good day

Beneath the shattered bipolar.

"Asura..."

Sasuke pinched Ashura's two small ears with his fingers, and gently stroked them before Ashura could glare at him.

The main body has returned, and the shadow clone that temporarily took its place has also been retrieved.

Beneath the Asura kitten's neck, two bells, one gold and one silver, swayed silently.

"Sasuke, you haven't finished yet. Are you sure Rukia will be alright?"

Renji, seeing Sasuke suddenly bend down to stroke the cat's fur, urged him anxiously to continue.

“I already said this whole thing is abnormal. Based on what I learned at the True Spiritual Arts Academy, nobles have certain privileges. Although the Kuchiki family has many members, the main branch only has the two of them…”

Seeing Renji's anxious state, Sasuke reminded him to think more about the reasons why this kind of thing exists.

If the Kuchiki family really couldn't protect Rukia, then he wouldn't need to go to such lengths to destroy the four noble families.

"I also think this is a conspiracy. Krukia was almost killed just now, so this can't be a lie, right?"

Renji still felt that many of the clues didn't add up.

Even if there was a reason, it's possible that the layout was designed in the first place, but Rukia almost died...

"Before Ichigo Kurosaki appeared, those two had already prepared the sealing tools. Regardless of whether rescuers arrive or not, Rukia will not die..."

Sasuke, seeing the two shocked people, directly explained the two captains' prior preparations.

However, he himself was also curious about who these Grim Reapers were waiting for.

Judging from the fact that the Captain-Commander took those two away and then the others cleared the area, Ichigo Kurosaki was just an accident. What they were really waiting for was someone who wanted to take the Hogyoku.

However, Ichigo Kurosaki appeared at the perfect time, so the Hogyoku was destroyed before it could be created.

"How could this be... If the intention wasn't to kill Rukia, then why..."

Renji wants to ask, why did Rukia become the bait?

Why make her suffer like this?

However, after being glared at by Ikkaku Madarame, he ultimately didn't ask the question.

He knew better than to say anything. Sasuke's words just now had already been somewhat dangerous; he couldn't continue asking...

"Uncle Ichigo, please don't glare at me. Given my condition, where I could die at any moment, even if I said something I shouldn't have, it wouldn't matter much..."

Sasuke looked at Madarame Ikkaku's glaring eyes and smiled, indicating that it really didn't matter.

He was not only physically weak, but also at risk of being hunted down by the Shihouin family again at any time. Saying a few more words or a few less words would not change his safety.

"What unresolved grudge do you have with the Shihouin family?"

Madarame Ikkaku was annoyed, but he had to admit that those who wanted to kill Sasuke wouldn't give up just because the kid was staying put.

"I don't know either..."

In his pale and sickly state, Sasuke's light laugh seemed more like a mockery of his own bad luck.

Just then, someone fell from the sky and landed not far in front of Sasuke and the others.

"The Shihōin family's divine weapon?"

Madarame Ikkaku looked at the thing that had brought people here. He wouldn't mistake it; it was the Shihōin family's teleportation weapon, bearing their unique mark.

"Seriously? If you're going to kill me, you don't need to be in such a hurry. There are plenty of other Grim Reapers here..."

Sasuke paused for a moment, then looked at the boy who had fallen to the ground, his purple Zanpakuto appearing in his hand.

"Notify the Captain-Commander! The Shihouin family has been attacked. The Gotei 13 is to provide immediate support..."

The boy on the ground raised his head and took out the identity token of the head of the Shihōin family.

He came here to ask the Commander-in-Chief to arrange a rescue operation. He had previously gone to the First Squadron, only to find out that the Commander-in-Chief was in Sotoku...

"Ha, ha ha... Oh my, I feel like today is a really good day!"

Sasuke laughed.

Laughter was mixed with coughs, and his original weakness was replaced by a renewed spirit due to excitement.

"Sasuke... don't get agitated..."

Seeing Sasuke's condition, Rukia had to remind him not to cough up so much blood in his excitement that he would die.

"While I was being treated in the Fourth Division, I kept thinking about the two pieces of news I most wanted to hear: one was that Captain Aizen was alive, and the other was that the Shihouin family had been destroyed..."

Regardless of what others thought, Sasuke talked about the two things he was most looking forward to.

"Since you have such expectations, then... so be it!"
