Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

Kuchiki Ginrin also understood that after Kuchiki Hibiki's Bankai ability was revealed, this day would come sooner or later...

Therefore, he ignored his daughter Masumi's pleas, put Masumi under temporary house arrest, and then joined forces with Yamamoto Shigekuni to seal Kuchiki Hibiki!

The reason why it is "sealed" is because at the last moment, the two discovered that Kuchiki Hibiki's [Zanpakuto] "Muramasa" not only has special abilities, but is also infinitely close to the sword spirit of the Sword God Wang Yue - even if the master dies, Muramasa may not die.

And until the very end, after Kuchiki Hibiki discovered that he had fallen into a trap, he did not summon "Muramasa".

What everyone fears is the power of Muramasa. If Muramasa does not disappear after killing Xianghe, they will have to face a crazy revengeful Muramasa...

Therefore, at the last moment, Yamamoto changed his plan and changed the original elimination into "sealing".

Xianghe, who is in the "seal", can feel the passage of time, but this "seal" not only seals his body, but also closes his inner world, making Muramasa unable to hear his voice and even affecting his mind.

In this way, naturally, there would be no response to Xianghe...

If the constant calls go unanswered, the trust between Hibiki and Muramasa will be destroyed - if Hibiki is killed directly, Muramasa may not disappear, but if Hibiki kills Muramasa, then it will be completely wiped out.

Originally, Yamamoto Shigekuni and Kuchiki Ginling did not think that it would take more than a hundred years, but...

Until Yinling passed away, Muramasa did not appear on his own, which made this matter always linger in Yinling's heart.

After reading Yinling's analysis of the matter in the Kuchiki Secret Records, Yilong believes that the [Chains of Chaos Spirits] should be able to disrupt the inner world of the sealed Kuchiki Hibiki, and thus alarm Muramasa!

So he secretly ordered Wei Huo Hu and Zhen Shui Yin to take the opportunity to make this happen after the "punitive army" left - if it didn't work once, try twice, three times... He didn't intend to succeed quickly, the main purpose was to do it imperceptibly, so that old man Yamamoto wouldn't find out in advance, and sooner or later he would wake up "Muramasa"...

At the same time, Yilong was also constantly expanding his influence in the expeditionary army - on the one hand, he established prestige among the original soldiers, and on the other hand, he was constantly absorbing the expeditionary force and "diluting" it into the expeditionary army...

At this time, Yagyu also discovered that it seemed that it was not only because of Captain Amagai, but Shifengyuan Ichiryuu himself was also very familiar with many expeditionary forces - beyond the level of familiarity because of "coming from the expeditionary force". For example, the Asido expeditionary force was obviously Shifengyuan Ichiryuu's confidant!

Gradually, rumors began to spread among the Hueco Mundo expeditionary army, such as "Seireitei intends to restrict the legion leader", "the expeditionary army has become a discarded child", "after Aizen was killed, the expeditionary army will be reorganized into an expeditionary force to stay there for a long time"...

After Yagyu Kyubei realized that people were unstable, he felt more and more that something was wrong!

Kyubei had known before that there were many people in the Soul Society who hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to transfer Shihouin Ichryuu away from the center so as to fight for power and profit, but now... Kyubei was getting more and more worried that this move might play into Shihouin Ichryuu's hands.

The formation of the punitive army did indeed remove most of Ichiryu's direct descendants from the Soul Society, but...

It will also be easier for the army to stick together when they are away.

Previously, the [Expeditionary Force] was within the Soul Society, and no matter how deep Ichiryu's mark was, it was still a Soul Society force. But once it was pulled out, it would truly become a private army.

So Kyubei restricted the rumors among the expeditionary army, and at the same time wrote a special report, which was sent back to Soul Society using the "Hell Butterfly", hoping that the Forty-Sixth Chamber would take the matter seriously.

but……

Kyubei was disappointed by Seireitei's reaction.

Not only did they reject many of her applications, but they also began to restrict the "punitive army" in various ways, which made Kyubei very confused - it was okay that her father was overambitious and was played around by Tsunayashiro, but why did the Shihouin family, and their allies like Kasumigaoji and Amanmon just sit back and watch this happen?

If she were in Seireitei, she probably wouldn't be confused...

Because after receiving the message, Yagyu Yukari's first reaction was that the "big boy" had finally started to do real work and wanted to increase the influence of the "punitive army", so he began to run around with his short legs, trying to increase the influence of the Yagyu family on the "punitive army".

His attitude meant that the credibility of Yagyu Kyubei's message was greatly reduced...

However, even if Tsunayashiro didn't believe it, he still wanted to take the opportunity to make it happen, so he restricted the "punitive army", and... to the surprise of the Tsunayashiro family, the "resistance" of Ichiryuu's allies, including the Shihouin main family, was very weak, causing the "punitive army" to fall into a dilemma of being attacked from all sides - there was a direct threat from Aizen's Kyonyomigu outside, and the Seireitei behind had other ideas!

Tsunayashiro Murao also suspected that this might be a conspiracy arranged by Shifengyuan Ichiryu to completely turn the [Subjugation Army] into a private army, but...

In the end, Tsunayashiro actively promoted this matter - as long as there were no major problems within the Soul Society, all they had to do was wait for the warlord Shihouin Ichiryu and the traitor Aizen to be defeated!

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since the tug of war. Aizen should be in the final preparation stage. Is there anything that requires them to be recalled in advance?

210. Chapter 209 Attack

210.

2023-10-08

On March 998, 3 in the Holy War Calendar...or perhaps even earlier, unusual cases began to occur in Seireitei!

At first, no one paid attention. It was just that a soldier from the [Guardian Force] was injured by a "shallow blow". Everyone just thought it was a common drunken fight with weapons...

At the same time, the "punitive army" in the Hueco Mundo gradually came into small-scale contact with the Hueco-Shock Wave.

The degree of restraint shown by both parties far exceeded Yagyu's expectations...

I had thought that after two months, Aizen would have already started a war with the punitive army.

However, if you are in Hueco Mundo, for example, from the perspective of Yagyu Kyubei, the competition between Hueco Mundo and the expeditionary army, let alone being "intense", is more like they are "training" with some kind of tacit understanding!

However, it did not exceed the expectations of Room 46!

Because from the report written by Ichiryu, the battle was still very intense. Kenpachi Zaraki had even fought for three consecutive days and killed three [Arrancar]. The record of the entire combat team was two or three times that. The entire "Suppression Corps" easily eliminated tens of thousands of "Hollows" every day. Those who didn't know would think that they had achieved a great harvest.

But actually...

Kenpachi Zaraki was already feeling a little bored - these [Arrancar]... were so weak!

As for the other Hollows that were killed, it cannot be said that they were fake, but... these Hollows were not even cannon fodder for the Hueco Mundo. A random "Achukas" could summon so many.

If Zaraki continues to fight these weaklings, his spiritual pressure will probably "regress instead of advance", and he will instinctively suppress more - a low-level game is extremely toxic to him!

Normally, Zaraki would not bother to fight this kind of opponent, but...

Now, not only did Zaraki himself apply and strongly request to be the vanguard officer, but the "Kyouyagu" also sent out multiple [Arrancar] every time. Although these ordinary [Arrancar] were not very strong, they were just at the level where they could fight Ikkaku and Yumichika on equal terms.

In this case, it would be useless for Zaraki to let Ikkaku and Yumichika hold off the "guys with insufficient skills" first, because there would always be [Arrancar] who were not being watched to confront him, and they were all guys who could block a few moves and could not be killed instantly, but they also could not be beaten to his satisfaction.

after all……

These are all carefully selected by Aizen!

Just when Zaraki was bored and brushing up his battle records, Yagyu Kyubei finally got his chance - Room 46 summoned him secretly!

"It seems that the previous secret report finally played a role." Kyubei didn't understand why it just worked - the guys in Room 46 didn't worry about Shifengyuan Ichiryu at all?

She just didn't know that Yagyu's unruly behavior as a teammate had greatly reduced her credibility, and... the Tsunayashiro family also had other plans for this.

"Young Master, are we really going to leave without saying goodbye? Although we are going back to report the matter to the commander of the Sifengyuan Army, I think even if we tell him the truth, he will have no reason to refuse..." Dongcheng Bu always felt a little uneasy.

"No, this is not a question of 'trust', so let's not make things more complicated." Kyubei finally decided to carry Ichiryu on his back and return to Soul Society alone, and explain the pros and cons to the Forty-Sixth Chamber in person.

"In that case... Young Master, please let me follow you too!" Dong Chengbu pleaded.

"You really are a worrier...Okay." Kyuubi said helplessly - but this was more than the first or second time that Dongcheng Bu had worried about nothing, and it did not cause Kyuubi too much suspicion.

On March 998, 3 of the Holy War Calendar, Shifengyuan Ichiryuu was dealing with a conflict between the combat team and the supply officer...

As the leader of the corps, Ichiryu Shihouin is in charge of almost everything about the "Subjugation Corps", but as for the "supplies", he only has the right to distribute them, and the specific amount of supplies is transported from Soul Society.

"Hey! You obviously have less, right?"

"What's missing? Isn't it the same as on the receipt?"

"That's what's written on the receipt! After our expeditionary army gathered the troops, we now have more than 3,500 people. You don't need to count to know that you're missing at least half of them!"

"Tsk, I'm just delivering the things on the documents. As for whether there are more or less documents, it has nothing to do with you. Just check and sign quickly!"

"Do you believe that I can..."

"What are you going to do?"

"Everyone stop it."

……

For some reason, it was the combat team with the most bad temper that was responsible for connecting with the supply officer sent by Seireitei...

And the combat team really showed their subjective initiative, not only checking the documents, but also killing people if they were given less...

"Captain Shifengyuan, please control your men!" the supply officer said angrily.

"I will handle the matters concerning the punitive army, but... there are indeed problems with the supplies these times, right? What is Room 46 doing?" After Yilong stopped the combat team's temper, he did not hesitate to speak politely himself.

Seeing Shifengyuan Yilong looking at him coldly, the supply officer also shrank his head and became less tough...

"The Soul Society has been in a rather tense situation lately, and... considering the concentration of spirit particles in Hueco Mundo, they don't need too many supplies, right?" The supply officer repeated the views of the Forty-Sixth Room.

Under Yilong's angry gaze, the supply officer left in a hurry, and at the same time...

There is another rumor in the army - some nobles led by Tsunayashiro said that the "Hollows" in the Hueco Mundo do not need extra food here, then these guys in the punitive force are even worse than the "Hollows". They should learn from the "Hollows" and not waste supplies!

Of course, the "rumor" also emphasized that the supply officer who said this had been dismissed by the legion commander, and the legion commander had resubmitted his application to Room 46.

That afternoon...

"Captain! It's bad, Mr. Dongcheng is injured and asks us for help..." At this time, Hinamori Momo hurriedly broke into Yilong's main tent.

"Dongcheng?" Yilong's thought flashed through his mind, and then he realized that it was the retainer of Yagyu Kyubei.

"Where is the help...? I'll go check it out." Yilong stood up and let Hinamori lead the way.

Soon, Yilong saw Ayumu Tojo being treated by the people from the Fourth Division. The person who was treating him looked familiar to Yilong as well. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Hanatarō Yamada.

"How is he?" Yilong asked directly upon seeing this.

"The interlocking knot has been damaged and an immediate repair surgery is required!" Yamada Hanatarō said skillfully and swiftly, regardless of his usual shy nature.

"Can we let him wake up first?" Yilong asked with a frown - according to what Hinamori said on the way, after Dongcheng Bu came to the expeditionary army, he just said "Go and save the young master" and then fainted.

“This…” Yamada Hanatarō hesitated after hearing this—it’s possible, but it would aggravate the injury.

"This is exactly the reason why he tried so hard to come back!" Hinamori persuaded Yamada from the side.

“Okay, but at most ten breaths.” Yamada gritted his teeth and said, then pressed his hand, which was using [Kaido], on Dongcheng Bu’s forehead.

Under the stimulation of the power of [Huido], Dongcheng Bu woke up temporarily in an overdrawn manner.

"Dongcheng Bu! You only have ten breaths to tell me where Liu Sheng is and what happened. Don't say anything else." Yilong said immediately.

"Young Master... in Dangkai... Tsunayashiro... attacked..." Tojo Ayumu said, stretching out his right hand, and after opening it, a "Hell Butterfly" flew out of his palm.

211. Chapter 210 Attacker

211.

2023-10-10

"Young master... in Dangai... Tsunayashiro... attacked... Soi Fon... Yoruichi..." Tojo Ayumu said while struggling while releasing the Hell Butterfly.

Yagyu Kyubei was attacked? Or in Dangai?

Ichiryu had previously suspected that the Tsunayashiro family had hidden ill intentions towards Yagyu Kyubei - and the final operation of sending Kyubei to Hueco Mundo seemed very abrupt to Ichiryu.

So at this moment, Ichiryu, like Kyoraku, instinctively thought - it must be Tsunayashiro's conspiracy!

but……

What do the last Soi Fong and Yoruichi mean?

Were they attacked too?

How can it be……

Although Ichiryu didn't know where Yoruichi was, Soi Fong just walked over and is now next to Ichiryu!

"Huh? What do you want me to do? Hey, make him wake up again!" Soi-Fong frowned and looked at the unconscious Dong Cheng Bu.

"This..." Yamada was very hesitant when he heard this.

“Forget it, we’ll just go there and find out.” Yilong then stretched out his finger and let the Hell Butterfly that Dongcheng Bu had kept fall.

It now appears that the location of the attack is in the "Broken World"!

As for why Kyubei would go to "Dankai" quietly, Yilong could guess roughly - he could only say that he was too young!

Normally, if you don’t find the [Cross-Boundary Gate], you will not be able to locate yourself in the “Broken Boundary” at all, nor will you be able to cross the channel safely. However, if you have a positioning “Hell Butterfly”, you can lock it.

Yilong then released the "Hell Butterfly", opened the [Gate of Crossing the World], and entered the "Broken World".

"Tsk." Soi-Fong followed.

Originally, she hardly followed Ichiryu's actions now, but... this guy Tojo Ayumu mentioned himself and Master Yoruichi at the end, but he only said half of the words, which made Soi-Fong curious and followed him.
