Is it that you don't want to get involved in this?

Or are they secretly waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow?

Regardless of which one it is, it's not a good time to look for or disturb them.

"Sasuke, Ichigo, what are you doing standing outside? Come in!"

Renji Abarai found Rukia, but then realized that the other two hadn't followed, so he ran out to look for them.

Seeing the two people leaning against the wall, seemingly resting, he yelled at them in annoyance.

They've reached the door but are still waiting outside. What are they doing?

"You think everyone's like you? Getting into the Kuchiki family isn't that easy..."

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Renji who jumped in front of him and kicked him.

This guy can't really be unaware, can he?

"Once you get used to it, you forget..."

Renji Abarai gave an awkward laugh; he seemed to have indeed overlooked this matter.

At first, he could freely enter and leave the Kuchiki family home because he was the vice-captain of the Sixth Division. Whenever he needed to see the captain, he would frequently come over.

Later, he confessed his feelings to Rukia. Although he was often singled out and disciplined by the captain, he was not considered an outsider in the Kuchiki family.

Thinking about it this way, it's normal that these two were stopped, since they are outsiders!

Chapter 222 The Kind-hearted Jushiro Ukitake

"I heard from Renji that Captain Zaraki shattered the Zanpakuto of several captains and vice-captains?"

Rukia hugged the reunited Sode no Shirayuki and rubbed her face against it for a while before remembering the news Renji had told her.

She hadn't said much before going out to meet Sasuke and Ichigo because she realized they hadn't come along. Now she wanted to hear the specific version of events.

"This is probably a rare opportunity; even Captain Zaraki wouldn't let us make a move..."

Renji sat down next to Rukia and recounted in detail what had just happened, adding his own thoughts as well.

In short, his former captain was truly powerful, while the other captains' Zanpakuto were really nothing special...

"It would be good if there was a solution. My only worry right now is my older brother. His sudden disappearance makes me wonder if he needs our help..."

Rukia wanted to laugh at the fact that her Zanpakuto had been shattered, but the thought of her older brother's disappearance completely killed any of her joking thoughts.

Although everyone said there was no danger, she couldn't help but worry until she saw him return safely.

"He'll be fine. The biggest problem right now is with the captain. I heard he's been sealed away, and we can't find the approximate location of the seal."

Sasuke didn't mention that Kuchiki Byakuya had gone undercover; he was only concerned about whether the Captain-Commander could be found.

That seal wasn't set up by Kuchiki Kyouga; it was simply a way for the Captain-Commander to seal himself away so that Kuchiki Kyouga wouldn't get the information.

However, now it's not just Muramasa who needs to know the location of Kuchiki Hibiki; Sasuke needs to as well.

However, figuring out how to control Kuchiki Hibiki River discreetly is something that needs careful consideration.

"Are you sure the village isn't lying about the captain being sealed away?"

Rukia thought about it and still found the matter very strange.

Legend has it that if the Captain-Commander's Zanpakuto were unleashed, it could burn down half of Seireitei. How could such power be sealed away?

Moreover, since the incident began, no one has seen the captain...

She didn't mean to portray the captain as a conspiracy, but this whole thing just doesn't make sense.

"It should be true. I can't sense the location of the Captain-Commander. If he's not inside the seal, then he can only be outside Seireitei."

After sensing it once more, Sasuke shook his head in confirmation.

His strength has always been unclear, but everyone has assumed that he is very strong.

"I forgot, Sasuke, you can sense... Sasuke! You can sense the location of the Shinigami in Seireitei, so you've always known where my older brother is?"

Rukia suddenly realized that Sasuke must know where her older brother was.

"I know, but I can't say now. The reason he hid it was because he didn't want anyone to find out."

Sasuke shook his head. He had already said that he couldn't say too much about Byakuya Kuchiki.

Anyway, there's definitely no danger to the people.

"Oh... let's continue with the Captain-Commander's matter. It's said that the Captain-Commander was sealed by a Zanpakuto. You can try to sense the location of the Zanpakuto..."

With a blink, Rukia understood.

We changed the subject and returned to the matter of the chief captain.

“That makes sense, but I don’t know the spiritual pressure of Soshoyo Riki and Katen Kyokotsu… Let’s go find Captain Kyoraku and Captain Ukitake!”

Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he stood up to go out and find someone.

"I'll go too!"

Rukia jumped up and went back to her room, quickly changed into her Shinigami uniform, and the four of them ran towards the 13th Division.

On the way, they encountered some patrolling Shinigami. When they saw Ikkaku Madarame of the Eleventh Division, they asked him to help them find Shunsui Kyoraku.

The four arrived at the 13th Division and immediately discovered that Jushiro Ukitake had fallen ill again.

"Cough, cough... I'm sorry, I should have gone to find Pisces Ritsu..."

Upon hearing the purpose of the four men's visit, Jushiro Ukitake became slightly agitated and immediately began coughing as if he were about to die.

Jushiro Ukitake repeatedly expressed his remorse for Souyo Ri's involvement in the Sealing Captain-Commander's affairs, believing that it was his failure to keep a close eye on Souyo Ri that led to this outcome.

"Shuangyu Li's aura isn't particularly strong. Let's wait for the Jingle band leader to arrive before we talk about it. If the two of them search together, we should be able to get a more accurate result."

Sasuke's fingers slowly stroked Ashura's head. Looking at Ukitake Jushiro's sickly appearance, he didn't intend to start now.

However, the power of the Spirit King's arm was still being transmitted, and even though the distance was usually far, it was still relatively stable.

With this sudden acceleration, he was genuinely worried that if he wasn't careful, Ukitake Jushiro might not be able to wait until the time to offer sacrifices at the Spirit King Palace.

"He should be here soon, Sasuke. Some things are beyond our control. Shunsui was just following orders, so don't blame him..."

Jushiro Ukitake looked at the black cat Sasuke was holding and suddenly remembered that there was still one thing that hadn't been resolved.

When they first received the mission to investigate Sasuke's Zanpakuto, it was a joint effort between the Second and Eighth Divisions.

Later, all the participants in the Eighth Division, except for Kyoraku Shunsui, died.

The Second Division was unharmed, but the Shihouin family was completely wiped out...

Even the Captain-Commander has given an order that no one is allowed to target Uchiha Sasuke.

If we connect the dots, if Sasuke isn't hiding his true strength, then it can only mean that his cat is too powerful.

In order to prevent Kyoraku Shunsui from suddenly disappearing one day, he felt it was necessary to talk to Sasuke about that matter.

"..."

Sasuke looked at Ukitake Jushiro with a strange expression, wanting to ask him whether he wanted to help Kyoraku Shunsui or just thought Kyoraku Shunsui was living too comfortably.

And if you want to act as a middleman for your friend, shouldn't you at least wait until there's no one else around?

Now, because of that one sentence, all those eyes are fixed on me. Even if I could agree to something, I can't just say it out loud.

"It seems we've discovered a secret we shouldn't know. Will we even be able to leave here today?"

Kurosaki Ichigo reached out and quietly patted Ashura's head twice, as Ashura stared back and forth with wide eyes.

This was the first time he had ever seen Sasuke in such a speechless state.

It seems that Sasuke is still unaware of what his position in Seireitei is.

"able..."

Ashura raised his front paw and slapped Ichigo Kurosaki's hand away.

Looking at Jushiro Ukitake, whose eyes were still full of expectation, he yawned and slowly expressed his attitude.

"Asura, the person who suggested killing you back then was the band leader of the Jing Band."

Sasuke stroked the kitten's fur with his fingers, casually reminding it that explaining its behavior as following orders wasn't so easy to fool.

“I said everyone could leave, but I didn’t say we wouldn’t settle accounts with him. We just haven’t figured it out yet. We’ll talk about it again in a few years when we do.”

Ashura's little paws tugged at Sasuke's sleeve, indicating that their feud with Kyoraku Shunsui would be postponed.

Anyway, there's no rush now. Once Yhwach comes out, Shunsui Kyoraku will become the next Captain-Commander.

At that time, we'll settle old scores with the chief commander and negotiate some terms...

"Then let's wait a few more years. If you come up with a solution, you can come find me..."

Seeing that there was no way to discuss the matter for the time being, Jushiro Ukitake had no choice but to put it aside for the time being.

Anyway, he has already gotten the result he wanted. As long as he doesn't take advantage of the chaos to make a move against Kyoraku Shunsui in the near future, he can rest assured.

Chapter 223 The Sealed Captain-Commander Was Found

"Sasuke, I heard you have a way of finding the Captain-Commander's location?"

Kyoraku Shunsui didn't arrive quickly; he arrived at the 13th Division more than half an hour later.

He sat down after entering, pulled his hat down, and looked at Sasuke with eyes full of curiosity.

"Since I can't find the Captain-Commander, I want to try to see if I can find the location of the seal by using the spiritual pressure of Soyo Riku and Katen Kyokotsu."

Sasuke acted as if nothing had happened, calmly discussing serious matters with Kyoraku Shunsui.

"That's one way too. Although Katen Kyokotsu has left the Zanpakuto, it still retains the same spiritual pressure..."

Kyoraku Shunsui sat cross-legged, placed his Zanpakuto horizontally on his lap, and channeled his spiritual power into it.

Although it cannot be released into its initial form, it is perfectly acceptable to simply stimulate spiritual pressure for detection and observation.

However, the process was not particularly smooth. Just when Sasuke said that he could distinguish the spiritual pressure of the Katen Kyokotsu, Kyoraku Shunsui simply sprawled on the ground and lay down without any regard for his image.

"Let's rest for a bit..."
