Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

"Hmm? Did Vice Captain Hinamori discover anything?" Yumichika's nerves were undoubtedly more sensitive and he noticed Hinamori's abnormality.

"Ah? No..." Hinamori was thinking about something and was startled by Yumichika's interruption.

Just now she felt that the figure of that person...somehow looked a bit like Captain Shifengyuan?

Combined with this, the conversation between the "mysterious god of death" and the "perverted Arrancar" also made her somewhat concerned.

It's just that the [Bankai] of the last two are completely different, which makes Hinamori feel relieved...but she is not completely relaxed!

At the same time, Yilong had just "defeated" Shiba Isshin by targeting his weakness...

"That's enough, Shiba Isshin!" Yilong looked down at Isshin, who was already leaning on a sword, with a haughty look.

"Why do you look so proud? Did you win?" Yi Xin complained about Yilong's behavior.

Just now, Yilong used the power of the [Throne of the Sky] to coordinate the power of the Bull-Headed Hollow that had not yet been completely extinguished in Yixin's body, forcing him to release his Hollow state...

If it were any other "Masked Shinigami", even if they couldn't enter the [Masked] state, they could at least use [Bankai] to fight, which could be considered as a level of power.

But Shiba has a different mind...

His [Bankai] is quite special and can only be used when his spiritual body and spiritual pressure are in good condition.

After being attacked by the Gyuto Daihou, Shiba Isshin could only fight with his Shikai [Yangetsu], and was then easily defeated by Ichiryu...

In Shiba Isshin's opinion, this was naturally an unfair victory.

At this moment, Yilong was also stunned for a moment - Luo Jia, who had just emerged from the [Anti-Membrane Bandits], contacted him with [Anti-Membrane Silk], letting him know the situation at the scene...

Yilong then said: "It's over, I'm going to go and appease those people from the Masked Army." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Urahara..." Shiba Isshin muttered to himself at this time.

Obviously, I have understood what Yilong said...

Of course, Isshin Shiba also believed that Urahara Kisuke... most likely made the mistake on purpose!

"Oh, right! After that I plan to be in Seireitei..." Ichiryu suddenly remembered something and seemed to ask Shiba Isshin's opinion.

"The affairs of Seireitei have nothing to do with me anymore. Maybe some of them want to go back, but I'll let it go." Shiba Isshin interrupted with a wave of his hand, looking bored.

"They" naturally refers to the other members of the Masked Army, but it is obvious that Shiba Isshin no longer wants to return to Soul Society.

"Eh? Why do you look like you already have a family in this world?" Yilong asked in surprise.

"I just don't bother with them..." Isshin rolled his eyes - "them" of course refers to the nobles of Seireitei.

Yilong even suspected that he had been in contact with people from Seireitei over the years, but had not been able to achieve the results he wanted.

"Okay, then I will tell Shiba Kūkaku and Shiba Ganju that you agree. It's okay, you don't have to show up." Yilong nodded and said as a matter of course.

Now Shiba couldn't keep calm anymore and interrupted, "Wait! What are you going to do?"

"Hmm? Didn't I tell you? As for me...after I go back, I plan to push for the "Shiba family to return to the ranks of the nobility" in the Soul Society." Yilong asked knowingly.

Yixin was silent for a moment after hearing this, then he said seriously: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Other things would be fine, at most it would be a fight between Yilong and other nobles, but... now he obviously wants to use the "Shiba family" to do something!

Even though Isshin had been away from home for a long time, he couldn't ignore her anymore.

"The Shiba family is one of the oldest noble families in Soul Society. The siblings Shiba Kūkaku and Shiba Ganju had previously contributed to resisting Aizen's conspiracy, which shows that their vision is far more far-sighted than that of ordinary nobles. In addition, Shiba is determined to stay in the human world. In order to thwart Aizen's conspiracy, he hid his identity and reached a level close to that of General Marshal Yamamoto.

"I think the Seireitei should accept the Shiba family again so that the glory of one king and five dukes can be restored as soon as possible. Moreover... the five great nobles are about to have major changes, and the Shiba family should also take more responsibility." Yilong said calmly.

but……

Having said so much, I only believed one sentence in my heart!

"What major changes will happen to the five noble families? Is it... the Tsunayashiro family?" Shiba Isshin directly distilled the key points.

In response, Yilong just smiled.

Why did they suddenly want to make the Shiba family a noble family again?

Because... Yilong has no way to depose the Spirit King!

Since ancient times, the most direct way to control the center is to "depose and enthronize the head of state."

Firstly, it is to establish authority, and secondly, it is to re-sort out the interests in a short period of time. Once successful, it can directly form a powerful force in the center that no one dares to disobey.

But now, for the Soul Society, the Soul King has long been illusory. What's more...if Yilong has the ability to depose and enthrone the Soul King, why would he have to engage in intrigue with them here?

The next best option is naturally the nobles... and they must be great nobles!

If Ichiryu can take this opportunity to crush Tsunayashiro's family and bring back the Shiba family, which is no longer aristocratic, then for at least the next hundred years, Ichiryu Shihouin will establish unparalleled prestige in Seireitei.

After all, this means that the followers of the Tsunayashiro clan will be sluggish in the future, and their positions will be occupied by the direct descendants supported by Yilong. This is different from the previous re-election of the Forty-Six Chambers - the current judges and sages, after all, are mostly some changes within each family. Yilong just used this opportunity to establish good relations with each family and reached some consensus on interests. However, if they really want to do something that goes against their interests, not many "direct descendants" will cooperate.

Of course, if it weren't for the foundation laid in the previous hundred years, it would have been difficult for Yilong to accomplish these two things, but now... Yilong felt that he could give it a try!

Once successful, it will not only be the current situation of "the Shifengyuan clan is in its heyday and has many followers", but it will truly be the one that has the final say.

(In the official novel, Tsunayashiro Tokitan also wanted to "bring the Shiba family back into the ranks of the five great nobles", and wanted to directly support Ichigo or his sister to be the head of the family, but was warned by Kyoraku and others not to commit suicide...)

but……

Shiba Isshin obviously didn't think that Yilong had good intentions.

"I don't care what you are going to do in Seireitei, but..." Although Shiba Isshin is not the direct descendant of the Shiba family and is not from the same bloodline as Shiba Kūkaku and Shiba Ganju, there are only three of them left in the Shiba family and no closer relatives.

"In fact, the Shiba Kūkaku siblings are used to being wild. I hope that Captain Shiba can come back and be the head of the Shiba family." Yilong looked very sincere at this time.

"Remember that Aizen is still here, and also remember... it's good to have me around!" Shiba Isshin just shook his hands at this time, looking like he didn't want to listen or say anything more. However, it can be imagined that if Ichiryu did something too much, Shiba Isshin would definitely not watch it.

"Don't worry, after all, I'm also doing this for the Three Realms, and... Master Yamamoto is still alive, how could I do anything reckless?" Yilong just smiled slightly at this, acting as if he would "put the overall situation first."

Yilong understood that Shiba Isshin's previous reminder was not only a warning to him that he was still alive in the Shiba family, but also a reminder for him not to forget that Aizen was still eyeing him covetously and would wait for the right time to cause an "internal strife" in Soul Society!

Don't let your cleverness backfire and end up being used by Aizen, that would be embarrassing!

Although it is normal for others to be used by Aizen, and only a few people in Soul Society have discovered his true face before, but... for Ichiryu, a "Hollow" who has been the captain of Soul Society for more than a hundred years and has been stirring up trouble all the time, in Shiba Isshin's heart, he is definitely a conspirator of the same level as Aizen.

And... in Shiba Isshin's opinion, Ichiryu and Aizen were indeed using each other.

Just like this time, Ichiryu was indeed helping Aizen and captured Urahara Kisuke, but... Shiba Isshin would never believe that the old fox Urahara Kisuke could not resist being captured.

And if Urahara pretended to be captured in Kyonya Palace, he had other plans, then...had he discussed this plan with Ichiryuu?

It's normal for others, but... for Ichiryuu, it would be a great humiliation if he was used by Aizen, so Isshin specifically reminded him of this.

As for the simple "internal strife within Seireitei", in the eyes of Isshin Shiba, it is not a big deal - after all, over the past thousand years, the nobles of Seireitei have fought among themselves countless times. It is not quite accurate to call it an "internal strife". It should be said that very few nobles of Seireitei really have the idea that "we are on the same side"!

Intrigue and even fighting are the norm; now is a rare period of calm.

The Shiba family was expelled from the ranks of the nobility as a result of internal strife, and it was also a milestone in the rise of small and medium-sized noble forces at the time.

If this matter didn't concern the Shiba family, Shiba Isshin wouldn't care at all about what Ichiryu was doing in Soul Society.

……

Not long after Ichilong and Shiba Isshin separated, they once again received a message from Luojia using the [Anti-Membrane Silk].

"Saar Apollo..." Yilong muttered.

It was indeed a pleasant surprise to be able to kill Sal Apollo this time.

If Sal Apollo was prepared, it would be difficult to kill him completely, and... he could not be easily led into the "Broken World". If he was within the Three Realms, various information would not be isolated, and Sal Apollo would most likely have other ways to resurrect.

Originally, Yilong thought that in order to completely kill Sal Apollo, he would have to use methods such as [Superman Medicine] to isolate his consciousness and body in order to succeed. Unexpectedly, he got an unexpected surprise.

Because it was truly an unexpected sneak attack, there is no such thing as being "cheated".

Even if it weren't for Madarame, Ayasegawa and the others, Sal Apollo's "sneak attack" would have really succeeded. It can be said that Sal Apollo lost unfairly this time.

Then Ichiryuu returned to Karakura Town...

"Oh no! Is this a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Looking at the mess in Urahara's shop, Yilong's face darkened.

Wuling Tessai and Yadomaru Lisa were still rescuing others at this time and ignored Yilong's reaction.

Seeing this, Yilong also quickly came down from the air and checked Kunanbai's injuries, while asking: "What happened? Where is Urahara?"

Because of Urahara, Wuling Tessai was very wary of Ichiryu. He became cautious when he saw him approaching. However, when he saw that he only came to Kunanbai, who was the least injured and had only external injuries, he relaxed a little and did not stop him - he thought that Kunanbai's injuries would not be tampered with.

Of course, Yilong had no intention of doing anything. At this moment, a green light flashed on his hand, and he used [Hui Dao] to help Jiunan Bai recover from her injuries. Soon she made a "嘤" sound and came to her senses.

Kunan Bai only fainted due to excessive accumulation of external injuries in close combat and the backlash of spiritual pressure during the last confrontation and collision.

The principle of [Reincarnation] is to first replenish spiritual pressure and then stimulate it to recover on its own. It is particularly effective for Shinigami with intact [Lock Bond] and [Soul Sleep].

Therefore, Jiunanbai's rescue was put last. After all, even without rescue, he would wake up on his own...

Jiunanbai woke up in a daze and groaned, "It hurts, it hurts..." - one of her legs was broken!

"Don't move." After Yilong reminded her, he used [Return] to help her speed up the recovery of her calf - in essence, it was Kunanbai's own spiritual pressure that was recovering her calf, and because of the consumption of spiritual pressure, the spiritual pressure here had been decreasing, but Yilong was constantly replenishing it.

"Uncle! Where's the manager? Why are you all..."

Just then, Jin Tai came running over with Xiao Yu, and there were traces of bandages on Jin Tai's face and body.

Yilong glanced at the two children, and Wuling Tiezhai immediately shouted angrily: "Who asked you to come!"

Jin Tai was shocked by Uncle Wu Ling's attitude, and immediately said with his neck stiff, "Of course I'm here to help!"

Xiaoyu, who had a personality opposite to the usually tough Jin Tai, seemed to have discovered something at this time. Her expressionless face showed a little more anxiety, and she pulled Jin Tai who was about to argue with Uncle Wuling.

“These two are the ones who bravely faced the [Espada] and defeated their first attack, right?” Yilong walked over with a smile and touched the two children’s heads as he spoke.

Jiunanbai's most serious leg injury has basically healed, and he can now stand up.

"That's nothing!" Jin Tai felt a little proud of what Yilong said, but he still dodged Yilong's hand in disgust.

Although Xiaoyu didn't say anything at this time, her expressionless face seemed to show some alertness. However, she just leaned back slightly and was still touched on the head by Yilong.

"Captain Shifengyuan, please take care of Saruaki's injuries... Jinta, Xiaoyu, go and repair the surrounding buildings, otherwise we will be discovered by ordinary people around." Wuling Tessai walked over and vaguely separated Yilong and the two children.

"Well, leave it to me." Yilong nodded in agreement, but he still confirmed: "Why is Captain Urahara not here? Could it be..."

After a moment of silence, Wuling Tesai said, "Captain Urahara has been captured."

"What? The manager..." Jin Tai became anxious when he heard that.

"Even Captain Urahara can do it... How could it be possible?" Yilong's face was full of urgency.

"That's right! How could the store manager be captured by those [Arrancar]?" Jinta's face was full of disbelief.

"Shin Tai!" Wu Ling Tie Zhai urged again.
