Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

"Did you do this, Kuchiki Hibiki?"

Faced with the questioning, Kuchiki Hibiki remained calm and composed, meeting the other person's gaze without the slightest hint of guilt, and said in a deep voice:

"No."

"We had just finished a battle against a traitorous Grim Reaper and were preparing to report the situation to the Captain-Commander when we were suddenly enveloped by the Kido Barrier as we approached this area."

"Then, the other people's Zanpakuto went out of control, and I intervened to save their lives. That's how it happened."

Upon hearing this, Unno Kumohira narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Kuchiki Hibiki from head to toe as if examining him.

"Both sides have their own version of events, but judging from the traces left at the scene, you are indeed highly suspicious."

"Is there any other evidence to prove the truth?"

Kuchiki Hibiki frowned, a vague sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

All signs indicate that someone is persecuting him in secret, trying to frame him for the taboo of murdering his colleagues.

Although no one was injured this time, it is hard to guarantee that a similar incident will not happen again.

Just then, another familiar spiritual pressure appeared on the street.

His aged face could not conceal his majesty, and a heavy sense of oppression covered everyone like the sky falling, making them feel suffocated.

"Captain Silver Ridge."

Unno Kumohira turned around and nodded in acknowledgment, showing considerable respect for this senior figure among the captains.

"Perhaps we should first detain Kuchiki Hibiki, and then hand the specifics over to the 46th Division for a decision after the interrogation."

"Captain Umino, is there any evidence that Hibiki was responsible for this?"

Kuchiki Ginryo lowered his gaze slightly, and his calm tone made it seem as if he had no connection with Kuchiki Hibiki.

Upon hearing this, Umino Yunping frowned slightly: "No."

"Were there any casualties in this incident?"

Unno Kumohira looked around and found that the only injured person was Kuchiki Hibiki, whose blood on his fist added to his intimidating appearance.

After hesitating for a moment, Umino Unpei shook his head.

"Without evidence, without casualties, and based solely on unfounded speculation, you are arresting Captain-Commander Yamamoto's direct subordinates."

The voice of the rotten wood ginkgo rose slightly, and a heavy pressure suddenly spread out, instantly enveloping the entire street.

"Captain Umino, what you're doing doesn't seem to follow procedure."

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

Everyone stared in astonishment at Kuchiki Ginrei, never expecting that Kuchiki, the head of the Soul Society, known for his fairness and impartiality, would say such a thing in public.

On the surface, there is a hint of cover-up.

But upon closer examination, it does make some sense.

Although various signs indicate that this incident may indeed have been committed by Kuchiki Hibiki, it is indeed excessive to arrest someone without any evidence or even any casualties.

Even Kuchiki Hibiki looked shocked, finding it hard to believe that the person who had just said those words was his unapproachable father-in-law.

That doesn't make sense.

His father-in-law wasn't like this in his mind.

Normally, he should be made to give up resistance and cooperate with the covert operations team in the investigation.

Such an incongruous performance led Xiu Mu Xiang He to suspect that Xiu Mu Yin Ling had been replaced.

Noticing the suspicious look in her son-in-law's eyes, Kuchiki Ginryo's blood pressure suddenly rose.

This scoundrel had repeatedly ignored his earnest advice and acted recklessly on the battlefield, influencing the course of the war with his personal bravery.

Later, he was misled by some idiot and gave up his Zanpakuto, which was the fundamental power of a Shinigami, in order to practice some kind of Hakuda swordsmanship.

He's loud and boisterous, and not steady at all.

Now that you've been framed, I'm trying to clear your name, and you're starting to doubt me? You've really turned your brain into muscles.

That's absolutely outrageous.

"That is Captain Yinling's opinion."

Unhei Umino's eyes flickered as he calmly said, "We should first deal with Kuchiki Hibiki..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kuchiki Ginrei interrupted him: "I will personally take him to see Captain-Commander Yamamoto and explain the whole story in detail."

"Let's wait for news from the Riding team regarding the specific investigation results."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kuchiki Ginryo walked up to Kuchiki Echo River, his sharp, knife-like gaze lingering on him:

"Come with me."

"Oh."

Under the watchful eyes of dozens of people, the father-in-law and son-in-law left in the direction of the First Squad's barracks.

……

……

"Did it fail?"

In the quiet study of Tsunayoshiro's residence, the candle on the desk cast a warm glow, its flame flickering gently.

The old man remained calm and composed, as if he were describing something completely unrelated to himself.

At the desk, Gosuke stood with his head down, silent, his face full of guilt.

"Lord Gosuke need not worry about it."

The old man's deep voice echoed in the study, "It's normal for plans to have both gains and losses; you've done very well."

"First, plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of the Gotei 13 members. Now, all we need to do is fertilize and water that seed."

"It will then take root, sprout, and grow strong until it becomes a towering tree."

Gosuke looked up, a look of astonishment on his face.

Judging from the outcome, this plan was a complete failure.

But judging from the adults' words, could there be a chance for things to turn around?

"No need to be surprised."

The old man said in a low voice, "Composure and calmness are essential qualities for those who achieve great things."

"Lord Gosuke, do not forget what we seek."

"This is just the beginning."

……

……

The fifth division team building.

bass!

Naraku Sora bent over and stepped forward, his muscles tense, as if a deep, resonant sound of a bowstring being tightened resounded from his body.

A powerful roar erupted the moment the blade struck.

Secret Technique: Dragon Flash!

The blade sliced ​​through the air, and the scorching sword pressure erupted like magma, instantly raising the temperature within the dojo.

In an instant, the sound of metal clashing and exploding resounded throughout the dojo, and countless sparks burst forth.

As the sword pressed down, the dojo trembled, and the demonic barrier attached to it swayed precariously, as if it were about to collapse.

The air was thick with the heat of the heat.

A hint of surprise flashed in Aizen's eyes, and the number eighty-first binding spell standing in front of him immediately became even stronger.

These past few days, after Naraku Sora has undergone brutal training in the First and Fourth Divisions, his basic fighting skills have visibly improved.

Besides the Hakuda swordsmanship, even Shunpo is much faster than before.

Most importantly, this guy somehow gained inspiration from somewhere else and mastered an incredible move.

The name seems to be something like Black Flash.

The principle behind it is quite simple.

By reducing the interval between spiritual pressure impact and physical strike to a value that is difficult to observe under normal circumstances, space is distorted, thereby unleashing a terrifying destructive force far exceeding its own limits.

It's easy to understand.

However, the difficulty of learning this move was somewhat beyond Aizen's expectations.

Even with his talent, it would be difficult for him to even begin to grasp the basics.

According to his estimate, it will take at least some more time before he can get a basic grasp of it.

In addition, Naraku also attempted to fuse the secret technique, Dragon Flash, with the Demon Sword Technique in its first stage.

Perhaps due to some conflicts in the details, the destructive power of the two was not ideal.

For example, right now.

Even with an attack of almost full power, it was still blocked by his binding spell, and not even a crack could be formed.

"Kong, I think you're going down a wrong path."

Aizen removed the binding spell and suggested:

"The power of Dragon Flash has reached its limit. Forcibly fusing it with the Ghost Path will only cause a conflict between the two, reducing its destructive power from ten parts to one-third or even one-third."

Naraku sheathed his sword, temporarily abandoning this unrealistic idea.

Because of the remarkable achievements of Black Flash and One Bone, he wondered if he could combine Dragon Flash with swordsmanship to create an even more powerful move.

Strictly speaking, Dragon Flash belongs to pure swordsmanship.

By simply following the previous approach to the Ghost Sword Technique, it can be fused with the Ghost Path techniques that have already been perfectly mastered.

But as it turns out, he was being a bit delusional.
