Crossover Anime: Transmigrated as Sasuke, but Must Start from Prince of Tennis

Although he didn't know where this Zanpakuto came from, he now clearly understood his master's resentment and hatred...

"Muramasa... let's go!"

After a long while, Kuchiki Hibiki finally awoke from his unconscious state and opened his eyes to look at Muramasa in front of him.

His eyes were somewhat vacant, showing neither the joy of a long-awaited reunion nor any resentment.

With his Zanpakuto still embedded in his heart, he simply reached out and grabbed Muramasa's shoulder, and the two of them vanished like mist.

The speed was so fast that Byakuya Kuchiki didn't have a chance to react at all. Even when the Captain-Commander tried to capture it with his spiritual pressure, it was blocked by an invisible barrier.

They came and went in a hurry. Apart from Byakuya Kuchiki, whose eyes showed a hint of anxiety, the others hadn't had time to figure out what was going on.

"Is that Kuchiki Hibiki a member of the Kuchiki family?"

Ichigo Kurosaki shifted his gaze away from Sasuke's expression and tried to distract himself with a topic.

He was now certain that Sasuke had secretly sabotaged the disappearance of Kuchiki Hibiki.

What on earth is this guy trying to do?!

But he had many questions, yet he couldn't ask them, and he couldn't let anyone else know...

"Kuchiki Hibiki, a son-in-law who married into the Kuchiki family, should be Captain Kuchiki's uncle by seniority. A hundred years ago, he was permanently banned for murdering a colleague, but did he actually kill his colleague...?"

Sasuke shared some of the information he knew with Ichigo Kurosaki, while also letting Rukia and Renji know about this past.

As for the charge of murdering a colleague...

Whether to believe or not is a matter of personal interpretation.

"He didn't kill his colleagues; he was simply the target of jealousy, which is why he was repeatedly framed..."

Senbonzakura added a comment from the side, explaining the crime committed a hundred years ago.

He is Byakuya Kuchiki's Zanpakuto, but he has been by Muramasa's side for some time now and has gained some understanding of what happened back then.

"That's easy to understand. A genius's path to stardom, without someone to protect and guide them, will ultimately be caught in the web of power..."

Sasuke sighed, holding the cat, glanced down at Ashura, and then turned and left.

He is the fifth seat of the fifth division, but before the Muramasa incident, he was stationed in the human world, and now there is no need for him to return to Seireitei.

"Sasuke... he was also oppressed by the nobles back then..."

Kurosaki Ichigo stared blankly at Sasuke's retreating figure, as if he had finally understood something.

Because they had similar experiences of being suppressed, Sasuke secretly stepped in to help at this time, simply because Kuchiki Hiyori had once been a victim of the struggle for power among nobles.

He should go back to school and study properly.

Learn knowledge, protect yourself, and strive to live for several more decades in this world.

Compared to the human world, the Soul Society's Seireitei is far too dark!

As for nobles and such, he, a commoner whose status was still uncertain, needed to keep his distance...

"Captain, please allow the Kuchiki family to resolve the matter of Kuchiki Hibiki himself!"

Kuchiki Byakuya didn't care what the others did. He could guess that Kuchiki Kyoga would retaliate later, but this was a Kuchiki family matter and no one else needed to be involved.

"It's up to you now."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni approved of this approach, turned around, opened the portal, and returned directly to Seireitei.

As for the Kuchiki family...

The Captain-Commander could already foresee that the Four Noble Families would eventually become a thing of the past in Soul Society. Although he didn't like change, he cared more about the stability of the three realms.

As long as the Spirit King and the Three Realms are stable, nothing else matters.

Not just the nobility, but also himself...

Chapter 226 It seems I've arrived just in time.

"Sasuke, is Kuchiki Kyouga really innocent?"

Back home, Ichigo Kurosaki became increasingly conflicted, and unable to figure it out, he went to the hotel to find Sasuke again.

"Because everyone in Soul Society fears him, most Shinigami rely on their Zanpakuto, and Muramasa's ability allows his Zanpakuto to kill its master and see the secrets of every Shinigami. Even if Kuchiki Kyoga wasn't a genius, countless people would still want him to disappear..."

Sasuke leaned back on the sofa, stroking the fur of the black cat with two bells hanging around its neck.

Seeing the curious look in Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes, Sasuke felt it was necessary to teach him a lesson.

Being strong is essential, but before you are truly strong enough, you always need some form of self-protection.

If you can't even protect yourself, at least hide the powers that would arouse jealousy and fear in others, so that you can live longer.

"Because of fear... What was the situation with the Kuchiki family back then? Why didn't they want such powerful forces and instead chose to destroy them?"

Ichigo Kurosaki still didn't understand. If this power was so formidable, the Kuchiki family could become the strongest noble family simply by keeping Muramasa.

“The Kuchiki family dares not protect him. If they shelter Kuchiki Hibiki, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the other nobles.”

Shaking his head, Sasuke's fingers traced the gold and silver bells.

He was unaware of the specifics, but the information brought back by his shadow clone contained some of Kuchiki Hibiki's memories.

The reason why Kuchiki Kyoga was chosen by the Kuchiki family to become their son-in-law was not only because of his strength, but also because of his good personal character.

It was only later that he discovered Kuchiki Ginryo's plans that he was forced to go mad.

At least, taking a gamble offers other possibilities; the worst that can happen is death, but if it succeeds, no one will dare to covet it anymore.

But if we don't fight, then we're just waiting to die...

"noble..."

Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly realized that he really didn't understand the nobles of the Seireitei at all.

He used to think that the nobles of Seireitei could do whatever they wanted, but the facts proved otherwise.

However, the rules and regulations of the nobility ultimately prioritized self-interest above all else.

Including the noble dignity that Kuchiki Byakuya had mentioned before, he now had absolutely no interest in what this so-called dignity actually meant.

"Don't think about things that have nothing to do with you. Even if your father has a special status, you have nothing to do with nobility anymore."

Sasuke took an apple from the fruit basket and tossed it to Ichigo Kurosaki, telling him to snap out of it and stop thinking about the noble family's affairs.

"My father...what is his identity?"

Instinctively reaching out and grabbing the apple, Ichigo Kurosaki was once again stunned by the new information.

"The Grim Reaper, Isshin Shiba, from a branch family of the Shiba clan, married Masaki Kurosaki and became an adopted son-in-law of the Kurosaki family..."

Sasuke took out a small piece of paper, on which was clearly written Kurosaki Isshin's past identity and the changes he had undergone over the years.

"My dad is a Shinigami? Shinigami can have offspring with humans? My mother... is a Quincy?"

Ichigo Kurosaki reached out and took the note. Looking at what was written on it, he felt confused about his identity once again.

Who is he?

"There are some things you should ask your father about, and tell him that the Quincy's progenitor should be awakening soon."

Sasuke, seeing that Ichigo Kurosaki was completely dumbfounded, told him he could leave.

If there's anything you don't understand, go home and ask your parents.

"I'm going back now!"

Frustrated, Ichigo Kurosaki hurried away, wanting to go back and get some answers from his unreliable father.

After watching the person leave, Sasuke took a shower and lay down on the bed to rest.

He has almost finished dealing with the matter of Kuchiki Hibiki River; at least Kuchiki Hibiki River has calmed down.

Although this silence is the result of forced suppression and brainwashing.

That piercing stab was actually another form of Huan Yin's Bankai, a forced brainwashing.

Even a madman can be turned into an obedient little baby.

The price is just a bit too high...

Kuchiki Kyouga's spiritual pressure is not weak, and he also has the power of Muramasa.

Huan Yin's Bankai technique will not be usable again for the next few years.

Having spent the night in a semi-conscious state, Sasuke opened the Transcendental Gate once again and headed to Soul Society the next morning.

.........

Soul Society.

The meeting of the captains of the 13th Division of Seireitei was not complete. In addition to Aizen and the others who had already left, there were also unfortunate ones like Komamura Sajin who had been seriously injured and had not yet recovered.

Fortunately, since there weren't enough captains, vice-captains could fill in. This captains' meeting was held in the head captain's office after enough people had been gathered.

"Excuse me, I think I arrived at a slightly inopportune time..."

After Sasuke returned this time, the first thing he did was to go and see the Captain-Commander.

Sasuke appeared out of thin air in the Captain-Commander's office, raised his hand and waved to greet the stunned captains and vice-captains.

"Sasuke, you've really given us a pleasant surprise..."

Kyoraku Shunsui's smile was somewhat awkward.

They were having a meeting when someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which makes people very suspicious of the security situation in the Chief of Staff's office.

"There is indeed a surprise. I suddenly remembered that before I came back last time, I went to Hueco Mundo and heard that Captain Aizen was planning to forge a King Key, so I ran back to say hello to the Captain-Commander. The location they chose is Karakura Town, but I am not quite sure about the specific date."

Sasuke, amidst their increasingly shocked gazes, recounted Aizen's plan to forge the King Key in Karakura Town.

This is indeed the reason why Sasuke came back once again.

He left after letting Kuchiki Hibiki and Muramasa go, and at that time he really forgot about it.

"Actually...we were just discussing Sasuke's trip to Hueco Mundo..."

Upon receiving a look from the Captain-Commander, Jushiro Ukitake smiled, scratched his head, and simply stated what they had been discussing in their meeting.

Originally, half of the captains believed that Sasuke would betray Soul Society.
