Sasuke and Rukia continued watching the show, while Ichigo Kurosaki faced Byakuya Kuchiki, and Renji Abarai faced Senbonzakura.
When they were playing against each other, things were going normally at first, but soon they started to go astray one after another.
Whether it's Kido or Zanpakuto, attacks always seem to accidentally land on the formation sealing the Captain-Commander.
Meanwhile, Muramasa, on the other side, seemed completely oblivious, staring down at the pure white Zanpakuto in his hand, as if lost in thought.
"Are they... Is this really okay? Shouldn't we go and help them?"
Rukia looked at the seal, which had weakened due to the attack, and waited excitedly, her fingers holding Sode no Shirayuki trembling slightly with excitement.
She wanted to help, even though she knew she couldn't beat her older brother, but she could break the seal.
"The band leader and the others have arrived; there's nothing we need to do now."
Sasuke shook his head, signaling Rukia not to intervene.
It wasn't just that Kyoraku Shunsui and the others had arrived; it was also because there was a problem with the sealing formation, which could potentially harm Sode no Shirayuki.
All the Grim Reapers believed that Muramasa had sealed away the Captain-Commander.
In fact, this was a self-imposed isolation by the captain to prevent Muramasa from probing his inner thoughts.
Unfortunately, these Grim Reapers didn't know the Captain-Commander's intentions and all came to try their best to 'rescue' their Captain-Commander.
"Sasuke, what's going on? Why is Captain Kuchiki fighting with them?"
Jushiro Ukitake walked over to Sasuke's side, watching the two sides fighting, and felt that something was wrong.
"Let's have a friendly spar and release our captain while we're at it. It's just a bit strange that the village chief doesn't seem to be going to stop us. I wonder what he's up to."
Sasuke gestured for them to look at Muramasa's location. The guy was still looking down, completely absorbed in his own world, ignoring the enemies.
"I think he felt there was no hope, so he gave up the struggle, right?"
Hitsugaya Toshiro also followed in, looking at Muramasa with a hint of mockery.
They've all come this far; the village headman clearly has no chance of winning. They're just waiting for them to break the seal...
"Something still feels off; this situation is a bit strange..."
Sasuke shifted his gaze to examine the sealing formation, muttering that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what the problem was.
His puzzled expression made Muramasa, who was opposite him, look up and glance at him, before looking down again at the Zanpakuto in his hand.
Are you sure?
Muramasa looked at the Zanpakuto in his hand, and couldn't help but respond in his heart.
This is not his Zanpakuto itself. Although it looks the same, his intuition tells him he can't be wrong, which is why he had a thoughtful expression when he received it.
After this Zanpakuto appeared, it kept sending him the same image.
His master was found, but the released master not only rejected him, but went mad and headed towards destruction.
'This is the future that is about to unfold. What will your choice be?'
The Zanpakuto continued to ask that question.
'I want my master to live. I can't hear his calls. I don't know why he misunderstood me...'
As a Zanpakuto, Muramasa always tries to please its master.
Even though he knows he will be abandoned, he still hopes to stay with his master.
Sometimes, you need to make him see reality clearly. Arrogance without a foundation in reality will eventually lead to self-destruction. You can save him once or twice, but he'll still lose himself to the flattery of others...
The Zanpakuto continued to stir Muramasa's thoughts.
Once Muramasa is brainwashed, changing Kuchiki Hibiki won't be difficult.
This replica Zanpakuto was created by Sasuke using Shadow Clone Jutsu and then Transformation Jutsu.
Before the transformation, this shadow clone was holding the bell that should have been on the cat's neck.
Illusory sound.
Illusion and hypnosis are manipulating Muramasa's mind.
'My master's safety and future are the most important things, but I could never raise a knife against him...'
Muramasa thought about it more and more and it made more sense. His master had been hurt by those people's schemes in the past. If he could get his master to calm down and think and observe...
However, he couldn't lay a hand on his master, couldn't deceive his master, and couldn't make his master angry...
Muramasa became increasingly anxious as he thought about it; he was now at a dilemma.
If you don't take your owner with you, your owner will be killed in a state of madness.
But if he wants to take it away, he'll have to attack its owner.
'Let me do it, I'll take your place just this once...'
The Zanpakuto emitted a sorrowful sigh, successfully resolving the matter that had troubled Muramasa.
If this had happened before, Muramasa would never have believed it, and he would have broken his Zanpakuto immediately.
But he didn't do that now. Instead, he thanked them gratefully and waited to find his master's location so he could take him away as soon as possible.
Chapter 225 Muramasa Kills Kuchiki Kyouga
"Commander-in-Chief!"
With the seal broken, a group of people stared anxiously at Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, waiting for his response.
However, what they thought was good intentions left the captain somewhat bewildered with anger.
"Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, you see, I told you your self-imposed isolation was meaningless. Now I have what I wanted, and we will meet again!"
Muramasa laughed maniacally. He had been blocked by this seal before, which was why he was unable to find the location of the master's seal.
"What did you say? This seal..."
Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro were both dumbfounded.
In this situation, it turns out that they broke the seal set up by the captain?
So they're helping Muramasa?
"Muramasa, you can't save him!"
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni opened his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping over Muramasa.
Regarding Kuchiki Hibiki, he is now indeed the only one who knows the location of the seal.
Even if they find it and break the seal, it will only hasten the death of Kuchiki Hibiki.
A hundred years ago, due to the Kuchiki family's concerns about their reputation, they couldn't kill Kuchiki Hibiki directly, so they had to seal him away.
But things are different now. He can no longer keep this secret, so he can only let Byakuya Kuchiki, the new head of the Kuchiki family, get rid of that dangerous guy.
"Humph!"
Muramasa, too lazy to waste words with them, gripped the pure white Zanpakuto in his hand and vanished in the blink of an eye.
"We must stop him!"
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also opened the portal and led Kuchiki Byakuya and Kurosaki Ichigo, who happened to be rushing past, inside.
"Sasuke, aren't we going?"
Rukia looked up at Sasuke, who was still holding her shoulder, wondering why they weren't following.
Because she was still under control, Renji didn't go either, and the other Shinigami, whether captains or vice-captains, all expressed their curiosity from the sidelines.
"I'll take you and Renji there. This matter seems to be a family affair of your Kuchiki family..."
Sasuke gave Rukia a heads-up before leaving with her and Renji.
Since he said it was a family matter of the Kuchiki family, Kyoraku Shunsui and the others couldn't go any further. They looked at each other and went back to deal with the chaos in Seireitei.
.........
The present world.
When Sasuke and his companions emerged from the Transcendental Gate, they encountered a somewhat eerie scene.
Muramasa, who had been searching for his master, pierced Kuchiki Kyouga's heart with his Zanpakuto.
On the other side, the silent Captain-Commander, along with a shocked Byakuya Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki...
"How is this going?"
Rukia carefully walked to Byakuya Kuchiki's side, looking at the two figures who seemed to be frozen in time. The feeling that someone was plotting against the Kuchiki family came back to her once again.
But this feeling always appeared for no reason. She wanted to express it, but she didn't know what to say.
"He broke the seal, but attacked at the same time, seemingly intending to kill Kuchiki Hibiki, but this situation seems rather strange..."
Kuchiki Byakuya also felt that something was wrong with the situation, but he couldn't guess why.
However, it is now certain that this piercing blow is definitely not the way to break the seal.
"Sasuke, can you tell what that slash meant?"
Kurosaki Ichigo quietly walked up to Sasuke.
He actually suspected that Muramasa's unusual reaction was likely related to Sasuke.
But these are things you can't ask, so let's talk about something else that can be discussed.
Can a Zanpakuto kill its master?
Sasuke shook his head, speechless. He hadn't made his shadow clones that ferocious.
"It shouldn't be... right?"
Ichigo Kurosaki thought for a moment. He had been stabbed by Rukia and then gained the power of a Shinigami.
Given the current situation, it's definitely not about killing that guy named Kuchiki Kyouga. Could it be that, like in his previous situation, this is just to help Kuchiki Kyouga regain his power?
"Owner..."
Muramasa carefully lifted his trembling fingers and removed the remaining seal marks from Kuchiki Hibiki's face.
His master, sealed away for a century, suffered far too much...
