Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

Jinta was just saying it simply, but if someone were to gossip, they might say "even Urahara's subordinates thought he was captured on purpose" and then come to the conclusion that "Urahara took the opportunity to meet with Aizen for a secret talk"!

Shen Tai, who had a naughty temper, was annoyed when he heard that, but... he remembered that Uncle Wuling was injured while saving him and Xiaoyu, so he suppressed his anger and said sullenly: "Okay, okay!" Then he went to work with Xiaoyu to use the [Ghost Way] to repair the surrounding buildings.

Wuling Tessai sent Jinta and Xiaoyu away - on the one hand, he didn't want them to mention Urahara in front of Shihouin; on the other hand, he didn't want Shihouin to have any contact with these two children.

after all……

Others may not know their origins, but Wuling Tiezhai must know!

Even his alertness was too late. Yilong had already seen some clues in them. If Yilong was not mistaken, they should be completely "artificial" lives like Nie Yinmeng...

However, the degree of completion is much higher than that of Nieyinmeng, and it has become a completely independent life.

From this point of view, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's desire to surpass Urahara Kisuke by "completing the true creation of life" is completely wishful thinking.

The "end point" he had been pursuing was already behind Urahara Kisuke.

From body to will, Jin Tai and Xiao Yu have become truly independent lives.

Even their true "identity" is...

"Captain Shifengyuan, please don't worry about this." Wuling Tiesai came over again at this time, blocking Yilong's gaze from the two children, looking very alert.

At this time, other Grim Reapers who had been "lured away from the mountain" had also rushed back, including some from the medical team. The injured "Masked Grim Reapers" had all received treatment.

Even Soi Fong, who was not there originally, rushed back because of the previous spiritual pressure fluctuation.

At present, those with relatively minor injuries have all woken up, and those with more serious injuries, such as Fengqiao Loujuro and Aikawa Luowu, are no longer in danger of life...

"No need? Captain Urahara has been captured to Kyonya Palace. No matter as the commander of the punitive army or as the head of the Shihouin family, I can't sit idly by. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the old patriarch!" Yilong said righteously.

Upon hearing this, Soi-Fong rolled her eyes.

Wu Ling Tie Zhai didn't know how to refute for a moment, after all...

Urahara had indeed never said that he had betrayed the Shihōin clan and was no longer a retainer of Shihōin. It was just that before, apart from Yoruichi, no one considered him a member of Shihōin.

Moreover, Wu Ling Tie Zai was not very good at anything other than [Ghost Way] and muscles, otherwise, with his identity as [Great Ghost Taoist Priest], he would not have become a wanted criminal so confusedly back then.

Wu Ling Tie Zhai held it in for a long time, and only managed to utter one sentence: "You...have you explained it to Miss Ye Yi?"

Yilong pretended not to hear this slander that questioned his loyalty to the Shihouin family.

At this time, Soon-hei Hirako, who had just woken up, interrupted and asked, "So what are you going to do now? Go to Kyonoya Palace to rescue Urahara?"

"No, doing this will play into Aizen's hands, and... we have more important things to do right now!" Yilong said in a serious tone.

"More important things? More important than defeating Aizen?" Hirako didn't think there was anything more important than this.

"It can also be said that these are some preparations for the expedition against Aizen..." Ichiryu's words attracted everyone's attention - not only the Masked Shinigami, but also the other vice-captains and officers present.

After all, those whom Yilong brought into the world were all the elite of the expeditionary army, and...they were basically civilian death gods.

Yilong no longer kept the secret and said directly: "After all, the fight against Aizen is the business of the entire Soul Society, and it should be done by the combined strength of the entire Soul Society, not just by us."

"Gather the entire Soul Society..." Hirako rolled his eyes at this time, as if he understood what Yilong meant.

"Then I wonder how Captain Shifengyuan plans to gather the strength of the entire Soul Society." Hirako asked knowingly.

"Today, the corrupt officials are in power in Seireitei. Instead, great people like Captain Hirako, Captain Shiba, and you have been framed. The expeditionary army has also been repeatedly excluded before... To gather the strength of the entire Seireitei, we must first eliminate all the ills of Seireitei!" Yilong said it without any concealment.

Not only were the awakened [Masked Army] somewhat surprised, but also...

Hinamori, Kira, Madarame, Ayasegawa... these vice-captains and chief officers were all stunned.

"Hey, we don't have time to play Game of Thrones with you." Yadomaru said coldly at this time.

"No, this is not a game of thrones, but a crucial preparation before defeating Aizen." Yilong said seriously.

"Captain, the traitor you are talking about..." Kira Izuru had a bad premonition at this time.

"You will definitely be shocked when I tell you this, but it is indeed the truth. It is... the Tsunayashiro family!" Yilong righteously said out the name "Tsunayashiro".

Kirara Izuru and the others heard this...

They all breathed a sigh of relief!

Just now, they thought that Shifengyuan Ichiryu would say the name "Yamamoto Shigekuni" the next moment!

In Hueco Mundo, they were not completely unaware of some of the "changes" in the expeditionary army... at least not everyone was completely unaware!

In contrast, Captain Shifengyuan now pointed his finger at a noble...

Even if he was one of the greatest nobles, it was not worth making a fuss about!

After all, this seems much more normal. Although it is a little unfamiliar to Kira Izuru, a "newcomer" who became the vice-captain more than 30 years ago, for old veterans like Madarame and Ayasegawa, bloody infighting among the nobles... and using the power of the Gotei 13 in the infighting, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice in their careers as Shinigami.

Of course, the former 11th Division was never involved.

Firstly, Captain Zaraki is not interested in these things; secondly... the Gotei 13 used to have old man Yamamoto in charge, so even if a certain detachment was occasionally implicated, the involvement would be limited; thirdly, the nobles who instigated internal strife were often wary of the Gotei 13 and did not rely solely on them.

Yilong is now talking about this matter in front of these deputy captains and chief officers, undoubtedly in order to stabilize this part of the death gods and make them the core circle.

Seeing that no one directly objected, Yilong also mentioned the evidence of the Tsunayashiro family's crimes.

When everyone heard that the Tsunayashiro family not only used the collected spiritual pressure to conduct various secret experiments, but also... those civilian Shinigami who "died young" after marrying into the Tsunayashiro family or becoming sons-in-law were used as experimental subjects by them, they were shocked and angry.

Of course, there are still some doubts above this - the premise is that Commander Shifengyuan is not lying!

Although Ichiryu also mentioned Soi-Fong, and Soi-Fong did not deny his words, but... given the relationship between him and Soi-Fong, it can hardly be considered as evidence.

While many Death Gods were still skeptical...

"What Captain Shifengyuan said is right, and I can prove it!"

At this moment, Yagyu Kyubei came out...

Dongdong: I’m back home. I was going to update once more, but now I feel dizzy, so I’ll just update once today… I’ll resume updating tomorrow.

272. Chapter 270 Ye Yi's Information

272.

2023-10-31

March 998, 3 of the Holy War Calendar, Seireitei.

Ichigo and the other Shinigami who participated in the operation acted individually and quietly sneaked into the area controlled by the "Zanpakuto".

The short-term goal is to find out the news about General Yamamoto...

Although Jingle firmly refused to believe that Old Man Shan needed them to "rescue", it was true that Old Man Shan now looked like he was trapped in the Marshal's headquarters!

Those who acted with Ichigo were all Shinigami who had recovered their "Shikai"...

The common feature they all have is that they have fought with their own Zanpakutō before.

The result of the battle was that the winner was never determined, as the opponent was summoned and left in the middle.

After the battle, these Shinigami inexplicably regained their "Shikai" abilities - such as Kuchiki Byakuya, Abarai Renji, Hisagi Shuhei...

As for Ichigo, his Zanpakutō was not affected in the first place. Everyone was worried whether he would be affected after entering Soul Society, but the conclusion was that he was not.

Muramasa was also wondering what this thing was. It seemed... it wasn't a [Zanpakuto] at all!

In addition, Shihouin's confidants, the Shinigami who usually wear masks, have not lost their "Shikai", and... Kurotsuchi Mayuri has not been affected at all!

Kyoraku even felt a little uneasy about this...

He released his [Hua Tian Kuang Gu] on his own initiative, otherwise he would not be affected.

However, it is hard to say that it is a coincidence that none of Shifengyuan’s confidants are affected now.

In addition... Kyoraku didn't think that there was such a high degree of recognition between Kurotsuchi Mayuri and [Hiksha Jizo]. He suspected that the relationship between Kurotsuchi Mayuri and Shihoin was closer than he thought!

Of course, Kyōraku wasn't sure about this, because as a researcher, it wasn't impossible that Kurotsuchi Mayuri had discovered some way to circumvent this.

Now, Kyōraku's [Zanpakutō] has nominally lost its power, and with Byakuya Kuchiki strongly demanding to attack personally, Kyōraku stayed behind to take command.

One night had passed since the operation began, and so far everything seemed to be going smoothly. Although Kyōraku was unable to obtain real-time intelligence because he could not communicate using the "Hell Butterfly", at least there was no bad news, and...

Just as daybreak approached, Yoruichi took the initiative to rush to the aid of Seireitei!

"Who?" Kyoraku noticed the movement.

"Don't be so nervous, it's me, it's me." Ye Yi walked in with a relaxed tone, as if he was not lurking in.

"As expected of Miss Yoruichi, I wanted to ask you for help, but I didn't know how to start." After seeing Yoruichi, Kyoraku also flattered her with a high emotional intelligence, without feeling guilty at all, as if... the woman in gorgeous clothes who was pouring wine for him next to him was not Hanaten!

"Kyoraku, you lazy guy have now become able to speak. Is this what it means to be in a position and do your job well?" Yoruichi teased directly.

In Yoruichi's impression, Kyoraku is an old-fashioned "uncle", and although he is smart, he never shows anything.

Of course, Yoruichi also looked at "Hanaten" as she spoke, obviously with some sarcasm in her eyes - after all, Kyōraku was still slacking off... After all, he didn't tell anyone that although his [Zanpakutō] also appeared independently, it didn't actually rebel!

"Hahaha, please spare me... I actually hope someone can replace me." Kyoraku begged for mercy.

"Oh? How about me? But this means the Shihouin family has absolute power..." Yoruichi said deliberately.

"It would be great if Miss Yoruichi is willing to take this seat." Kyoraku was quite serious and didn't seem to be worried at all that Shihouin Yoruichi would join forces with Shihouin Ichiryu.

However, Ye Yi did not say anything more about this matter, and instead asked: "Do you have any information about this Zanpakuto riot?"

"I'm confused, but..." Kyoraku said, shaking his head, and then asked Yoruichi, "What do you know, Miss Yoruichi?"

Kyoraku actually wanted to say that there seemed to be some strange changes in the Tsunayashiro family.

However, because there was no evidence and he had learned from the previous experience, Kyōraku did not say it directly.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the Tsunayashiro family. The unusual movements of the Tsunayashiro family were because their secret was discovered by Shihouin, and the assassination attempt on Yagyu also failed!

"I'm not sure, but... there is a record of something in the secret records of the Shifengyuan family! Back then, there was a son-in-law in the Kuchiki family who was wanted for attacking his colleagues and escaping from prison. Do you still remember it?" Yoruichi reminded at this time.

Even though the secret records of the Shihouin family may not be as complete as those of the Kuchiki family regarding the affairs of Kuchiki Hibiki and the demon sword Muramasa, but... they still know more of the inside story!

Kyoraku was stunned when he heard this, and then he murmured, "Demon Sword [Muramasa]?"

Obviously, in Kyōraku's eyes, his impression of his [Zanpakuto] is far greater than his impression of Kuchiki Hibiki himself.

Then, Kyōraku also compared the current chaos in the Soul Society with the ability of Muramasa in his mind...

Back then, Muramasa had never used this ability to materialize his Zanpakutō, but he was indeed able to control his opponent's Zanpakutō, and could be said to be a true "civil war expert."

only……

"Well, although in the official records of Soul Society, it was the head of the Kuchiki Ginling family who killed his own relatives for the sake of justice, you should have heard that Captain Yamamoto also took action at that time." Yoruichi told the story at this time.

Kyoraku nodded upon hearing this, this wasn't a very secret thing up to this point, the older captains all knew about it.

Then Yoruichi added: "However, there is one thing you probably don't know, that is, Kuchiki Hibiki is not dead. For some reason, Captain Yamamoto and the old head of the Kuchiki family just sealed him up."

"I see..." Kyoraku nodded in sudden realization. Since Kuchiki Hibiki is still alive... then the current Zanpakuto rebellion is most likely related to him!

It’s not only because of Muramasa’s ability, but also because... the old man in the mountain’s “unexplained loss of contact”!

Now Kyoraku is even more certain that the old man on the mountain must have noticed something back then, so he only sealed Kuchiki Xianghe. Now... this is probably the second half of the old man on the mountain's plan!

In this way, the old man's "helplessness" and even "trapped" behavior seems reasonable - this should be part of his plan.

Otherwise, it would be hard for Jingle to believe that the old man in the mountain really had an accident.

For a moment, Jingle felt relieved.

Immediately, Kyoraku took the initiative to say, "By the way, Miss Yoruichi, you won't be affected by [Muramasa], right?" It seemed that he wanted Yoruichi to help.

It's not that he really needs her as a fighting force. Kyoraku mainly wants to show that he has never doubted Shihouin Yoruichi's attitude because of someone.

However, Yoruichi said at this time: "[Muramasa] It's actually not important now. I have something else that you will definitely be interested in... about the Tsunayashiro family!" As Yoruichi said this, a dangerous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
