Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

After testing and analysis with professional equipment, Aizen confirmed his previous suspicions.

“There is indeed a fragment of the Soul King in Inaba Kagerousa’s soul, and it is a very important part of it.”

"Based on the results, it appears to be an organ similar to the Grim Reaper's Knot."

"The spiritual pressure contained within is not particularly strong, but it can create things like spirit remains by dividing the soul."

"This ability reminds me of the Enra Kagami of the Tsunayo family."

A flicker of excitement flashed in Aizen's eyes.

As a researcher, although he was not as devoted to science as Mayuri Kurotsuchi, he was equally eager to explore the unknown.

Now that a new project topic has come up, and it overlaps with the content of previous research, it naturally arouses considerable interest.

Naraku Sora, however, had little interest in this.

Instead of wasting this time, you might as well go back and see how the war between Captain Death and the undead is going.

"Well, you can take your time studying it. I'm leaving now."

Naraku turned and left the laboratory.

…………

Second Division, Torture Room.

Kujo Nozomi looked at the two figures standing in front of her with some nervousness.

A woman with wheat-colored skin, delicate features, and a cheerful smile.

The other one, though lacking in physique, had a cold expression and disdainful eyes, which gave him a unique charm.

I had little impression of the latter, but I was very familiar with the former.

The captain of the 2nd Division, the commander-in-chief of the Onmitsukido, the head of the Shihouin family, a powerful figure at the top of Soul Society in terms of both power and strength.

Yoruichi Shihōin

As for the person next to him, he should also be an important member of the Covert Force.

Thinking of this, Kujo Nozomi immediately tensed up.

She was well aware of her identity. As one of the sources of this turmoil, even if she did nothing wrong, she would still be punished according to the laws of Soul Society.

Now that he's been detained in this interrogation room, he's probably going to be tortured to extract all the information he has about Inaba Kagerousa.

Therefore, it's better to confess sooner rather than later in order to suffer less.

“My name is Kujou Nozomi, and I am the other half of Inaba Kagerousa’s soul. He…”

However, before she could finish speaking, Yoruichi interrupted her with her hand:

"Stop, stop!"

"Miss Kujo, have you misunderstood something?"

"what?"

Kujo Nozomi looked completely bewildered.

"Nobody here cares about Inaba Kagerousa's petty squabbles. The reason I had Soi Fon bring you back is to ask about Tsubasa and Sora, um, the guy who rescued you..."

Yoruichi explained earnestly.

However, when she heard that it was related to Naraku Sora, Kujo Nozomi's expression immediately became wary.

She was unaware of the relationship between the Second Division Captain and Naraku Sora.

But as far as she knew, the various institutions of the Seireitei were not monolithic, and it was perfectly normal for disputes to exist between them.

If Captain Shihouin wanted to get information about Lord Naraku from her, he was likely to be disappointed.

Kujo Nozomi would never betray her benefactor!

Yoruichi stared intently at the green-haired girl in front of him with a serious expression, while Kujo Nozomi met her gaze with equal determination.

Then she heard:

"Miss Kujo, please answer truthfully, do you like Sora or not?"

"I don't know anything... ah, um?!"

Kujo Nozomi stood there, her eyes glazed over, as if the universe and stars were unfolding in her mind.

Does something involving personal feelings fall under the jurisdiction of the Covert Mobility?

This wasn't how she remembered torture and forced confessions.

Seeing the girl standing there dumbfounded, unable to react for a long time, Yoruichi sighed helplessly and waved her hand, indicating:

"Soi Fon, write this down."

"This time, we have one more enemy."

Kujo Nozomi suddenly snapped out of her reverie, as if she had thought of something during her recent brainstorming session, and denied it with her cheeks flushed:

"I didn't, I didn't, I..."

Soi Fon looked at the girl with some pity and asked:

"Miss Kujo, if your crimes are pardoned, are you planning to join the Gotei 13 or the Shinigami Prison?"

"Of course, it's the Central Prison."

Kujo Nozomi replied without hesitation.

really.

Ye's eyes twitched.

Every time that guy saves the Seireitei, he manages to win the heart of a young girl.

That's a bit outrageous.

Damn it, she was here first!

Thinking of this, a creaking sound of unwilling gritted teeth echoed in the interrogation room.

Sensing the sudden surge of resentment in the room, Kujo Nozomi instinctively shrank back.

Suddenly I feel like I've gotten myself into something really serious...

…………

First Squad, Conference Room.

Yamamoto stood at the head of the table, his aged hands resting on his swirling cane. His dignified gaze swept over the captains present, a hint of displeasure flashing in his slightly closed eyes.

During this Relic Remnant Chaos, some captains performed worse than the Shin Gotei 13 from next door.

Let's leave aside the fact that they were trapped within the rift.

This was caused by information asymmetry, and it was his dereliction of duty.

but.

In the battles after returning to Soul Society, however, they were unable to defeat those clones of the spirit body for a long time.

With his subordinates proving incompetent, Yamamoto had no choice but to intervene once again.

Although the losses were not significant, this was undoubtedly a blatant trampling on the dignity of the Gotei 13.

"I'm sure you all already know some of the inside story about this turmoil."

"The mastermind is the seventh seat of the 12th Division, named Inaba Kagerousa. He was inspired by the 'Pioneer Project' and developed the concept of 'spirit corpses'."

"Later, for his own selfish reasons, he plunged the entire Seireitei into chaos."

"According to the intelligence provided by the acting captain, this person was caught up during his escape, put up a stubborn resistance, was no match for him, and was killed by accident."

Upon hearing this, the team leaders all showed some unusual emotions.

Hirako Shinji narrowed his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them.

If he remembered correctly, the first person to pursue Inaba Kagerousa was probably his family's vice-captain.

But when it came to Yamamoto, he became the mastermind behind everything and was killed by Naraku.

Considering their close friendship, he could guess with his toes what kind of unspeakable secret these two were hiding.

In addition, there were his unusual actions in the past when he sensed Aizen's presence, as well as his deliberately concealed strength.

It's hard not to suspect that this guy is secretly plotting some evil scheme to overthrow Soul Society.

No, we absolutely cannot sit idly by and do nothing.

Hirako Shinji immediately made up his mind that once the captains' meeting ended, he would immediately launch an investigation into Aizen.

If possible, Naraku Sora should not be let go either.

Just as he was pondering, a dull thud echoed in the conference room, immediately drawing everyone's attention. Yamamoto, his face grim, looked at the crowd.

"As the captain, he neglected his training and was unable to defeat the enemy at crucial moments, even requiring me to take action."

"Gentlemen, what exactly do you take the name 'Gotei' for?!"

Some people lowered their heads in shame, while others grinned with schadenfreude.

Yamamoto glared at Naraku Sora, who was listening in the background, with annoyance. If it weren't for the fact that it was meeting time, his fist, the size of a sandbag, would have landed on the traitor's head.

"From this day forward, everyone, including the captain, must prioritize cultivation and not slacken our efforts!"

The team leaders breathed a sigh of relief.

After everything that's happened, even if Yamamoto doesn't mention it, they still need to take time to train. If they don't work hard now, they won't be able to catch up with the current version.

Just when everyone thought the meeting was over, Yamamoto's deep voice rang out again in the room:

"There's one more thing!"

Chapter 324 The best way is to become the rule itself.

"Regarding the position of captain of the 10th Division, does anyone have any thoughts?"

Naraku, who was just about to run away, stopped in his tracks upon hearing this and immediately raised his hand in greeting.
