Urahara Kisuke stared at the arrow, and when it got closer, he chopped at it with a knife.

The arrow shot by Amemiya seemed to have no power and was shattered by Urahara Kisuke in one go. However, the shattered arrow did not dissipate. Instead, it turned into light spots and gathered on Urahara Kisuke's Benihime. In less than a moment, it completely enveloped Benihime.

Kisuke Urahara carefully felt the changes in Benihime, but the next moment, Benihime showed abnormality.

His pupils began to dilate, and he couldn't believe the change in his Zanpakutō. "How is it possible! Benihime, it's changed back..."

The Zanpakutō, which had already reached its Shikai, was transformed back to its original form by Amamiya Toshi's attack. This was what surprised Urahara Kisuke.

Urahara Kisuke increased the amount of spiritual energy he injected, trying to call Benihime again, but no matter how he called, the spiritual energy he input seemed to have fallen into the sea, and there was no response at all.

"This is the ability of your Zanpakuto." Urahara Kisuke slowly lowered the hand holding the sword and stared at Amamiya Tou.

"What do you think? Mr. Urahara, do you think that the power of my Zanpakuto can really stop Kyouka Suigetsu?" Amemiya Tsuya canceled his Shikai, put back his two swords, and asked him.

Urahara Kisuke lowered his head and thought for a long time before looking up at Amamiya Toshi.

"I understand. I will tell you what I know. I just hope you can really do it." Urahara Kisuke said in a deep voice, as if he half believed what Amemiya Toru said.

"But before that, you have to complete the first stage of training with Mr. Kurosaki." Urahara Kisuke turned his gaze to Kurosaki Ichigo.

"Xiaoyu, I'm leaving it to you." Urahara Kisuke came to Kurosaki Ichigo and said to Xiaoyu Yu.

Then, he aimed the bottom of his cane at Kurosaki Ichigo and struck him hard.

Ichigo Kurosaki's soul left his body, with a long chain dragging across his chest, connecting him to his body.

"Mr. Kurosaki, this is the first time you've left your body in a non-Death God form," Urahara Kisuke returned to his usual nonsensical look and said to Kurosaki Ichigo with a smile.

"In the rest of the training, you have to tell me everything. Be it your identity, your Zanpakutō, your Shikai, or your real name. Tell me everything." Ichigo Kurosaki did not scream or shout because he had left his body. Instead, he paid more attention to the information revealed by the battle between Kisuke Urahara and Tomo Amamiya.

Seeing Ichigo Kurosaki's serious look, Urahara Kisuke also promised: "I understand, I will... tell you one by one. But the prerequisite is that you can regain the power of the God of Death."

Ichigo Kurosaki passed the first test quickly and his spiritual power began to improve again.

Then, Wu Ling Tessai chopped off the chain of cause and effect on Kurosaki Ichigo's chest with an axe and threw him into a deep pit. From inside, Kurosaki Ichigo's screams continued to be heard, becoming smaller and smaller.

"Okay, next, it's time to talk about our business." Urahara Kisuke turned and looked at Amamiya Miyabi.

"I would like to ask Mr. Urahara about the origin of Kurosaki Ichigo. It's not just his huge spiritual pressure before. And now, wanting to practice to become a god of death in this way is simply unheard of." Amemiya asked Urahara Kisuke with a smile.

Amemiya wanted to see whether Urahara Kisuke would sincerely cooperate with him, and whether he would continue to hide Kurosaki Isshin's true identity or tell him directly.

"..." Urahara Kisuke was silenced by Amamiya's conversation right from the start. "Amamiya-kun is really..."

"Okay, I understand. I'll tell you everything, starting from the time I defected from Soul Society..." Urahara Kisuke realized that Amemiya Tsutomu seemed to know a lot of information, so he didn't plan to hide it anymore. After all, if Amemiya Tsutomu joined, their chances of winning would be much greater.

Next, Urahara Kisuke explained to Amemiya everything that happened after he became the captain of the 12th Division, word for word.

"Aizen Sosuke..." Amemiya heard more details from Urahara Kisuke and could see more clearly how terrifying Aizen was.

"Mr. Urahara, if Aizen is really as scary as you say, then combined with the abnormalities in Soul Society, it can be assumed that the people in the Central Forty-six Rooms have been hypnotized by him." Amemiya said to him.

"Is that so... So that's the case. That makes sense."

Amemiya knew that if Rukia returned to Soul Society, she would basically fall into Aizen's hands, and it was only a matter of time before the Hogyoku in her body was taken away.

"Besides Ichigo Kurosaki and his gang, do you have any other backup plan?" asked Amemiya.

"I also have a trusted partner. Her strength is the greatest guarantee for this operation. I cannot enter Soul Society, so I gave most of the things to her."

"Is it Shihouin Yoruichi?"

Urahara Kisuke was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Brother Amamiya, I always feel that you know everything, even though I have hidden it very well."

Amemiya ignored what he said and told him: "I have basically understood it. So Mr. Urahara, I will return to Soul Society without further ado. If I meet Ichigo Kurosaki and his group in Soul Society, I will give them some convenience, but in public, we are still enemies."

"I understand. I will tell Mr. Kurosaki and the others." Urahara Kisuke said in a deep voice, "Then, the task of stopping Aizen will be left to you. However, I cannot reveal too much about Aizen to Mr. Kurosaki and the others at the moment, and I hope you will be the same."

"Also, if things really come to that, I hope you can..."

"I understand." After all, Amemiya had considered this and asked Ukitake to apply in advance to have Rukia guarded in the 13th Division.

"And if there is a chance, it might be possible to borrow its power." This is also one of Amamiya's purposes.

Chapter 62 The Center of the Vortex

In the suburbs, in the captain's office of the 13th Division, Amamiya discussed with Urahara Kisuke, took away the necessary items, and returned to Soul Society.

"The above is all the information I have investigated in the present world." Amamiya said to Ukitake.

"It's full of anomalies..." Ukitake frowned as he looked at all the information Amamiya had collected. "In fact, I asked Rukia herself, and her statement was similar to what you investigated."

"Du, there is one more thing you must know." Ukitake said in a deep voice, "The Soul Society has made its official verdict on Rukia."

"Rukia is sentenced to a first-degree felony. Rukia will be executed as a prisoner at the Mao execution ground in 25 days." Ukitake told Amemiya the news with a grim face.

"Punishment..."

"That's right, the punishment of death. The double punishment will only be unsealed when it is executed. When it is unsealed, the power will expand dozens of times in an instant, and it has the destructive power equivalent to a million Zanpakuto. Its true identity is the torture instrument called the King of Destruction. When it pierces the body of the criminal, the punishment of death will end."

"Moreover, Soul Society rarely uses the 淨形 (Kei-style) form. Given Rukia's crime, they wouldn't even have to use the Double 淨形 (Kei-style) at all." Ukitake expressed his confusion as to why Soul Society would issue such an order.

"If the execution is really carried out, is there any way to stop it?" asked Yu Gongdu.

"Do you want to..."

"Captain Ukitake, we should prepare for the worst as soon as possible instead of trying to solve this problem step by step. If the execution is really carried out, perhaps this is what the person behind the scenes wants to see most."

"Do you think someone is manipulating all this?" Ukitake asked in surprise.

"Yes. But even if not, I still want to save Rukia." Amamiya told Ukitake firmly.

"I understand. I'll think about it carefully..." Fuzhu was unsure at the moment and hoped to think about it for a while.

"Captain Ukitake, this matter is of great importance. I hope you won't tell anyone about the speculation about the mastermind behind this." Amemiya reminded. He didn't want this matter to reach Aizen's ears.

“…I will do as you say, all.” Ukitake also realized the seriousness of the situation. If there has always been such a dark hand in Soul Society that can influence the decision-making of the Central Forty-Six, then it must not be made known to the public.

"Then Captain Ukitake, I'll take my leave first." Amemiya said to him.

After leaving the captain's office, Amemiya came to the place where Rukia was detained by the 13th Division. Although Rukia was detained in the 13th Division, the periphery of the 13th Division was secretly monitored to prevent Kuchiki Rukia from escaping.

Amemiya said to Kotetsu Kiyone who was guarding Rukia, "Kyone, could you please go out for a moment? I have something to talk to Rukia alone."

Kotetsu Kiyone nodded and walked out the door. Amamiya made sure that no one was eavesdropping before going up to talk to Rukia.

Seeing that Amemiya Tsu finally returned, Rukia hurried forward and asked: "Tsu, you finally came back from the human world. How are you? Are Ichigo and the others okay?"

"Ichigo Kurosaki and the others are all fine." Amemiya comforted.

"Really... That's great." Rukia felt relieved and began to soften to the ground. She no longer wanted anyone to lose their life because of her. After hearing the news that Ichigo Kurosaki was safe, she completely relaxed.

"Hmph, it's too early for you to be happy." Seeing that she didn't care about her own life or death at all, Yu Gong couldn't help but get angry.

"Not only is Kurosaki Ichigo not dead, he is also in the present world preparing to break into Soul Society to save you."

"What? Why is that guy Ichigo... I clearly reminded him. No, he has lost the power of the God of Death, so he can't come to the Soul Society by himself." Rukia said anxiously after hearing this, but quickly realized that this was an impossible thing.

"Who said there is no way? Have you forgotten the person who gave you the artificial body?" Yu Gongdu reminded.

"Urahara? He's just a small shop owner. Even if he has some unknown means, he can't just..."

"Urahara Kisuke, his real identity is the former captain of the 12th Division and the first director of the Technical Development Bureau." Amemiya said calmly.

"What..." Rukia was extremely shocked at this moment. She didn't expect that a weird shop owner was the former captain and the director of the Technology Development Bureau.

"You still don't see the problem, Rukia? Think about it, why after you gave Ichigo Kurosaki spiritual power, your own spiritual power can't be restored?"

"Could it be..." Rukia couldn't believe it. She thought Urahara Kisuke really came to help her.

"In short, I won't allow you to die like this." Amemiya told her angrily. "Not only will I not agree to you dying alone like this, but Captain Ukitake and everyone else will not agree to it either."

Her eyes gradually turned red, and her will to survive was rekindled.

"Also, have you forgotten? My dignity is that I cannot let my companions die. I will not accept this kind of inexplicable judgment."

Rukia couldn't help but laugh as she heard the words that even Amemiya was familiar with.

Rukia looked at Amamiya Tsutomu and said, "Tsutomu, you are right. I absolutely cannot die alone like this. If I have to die, it should be on the battlefield. After giving my heart to my companions, I will die openly."

Seeing that Rukia Kuchiki's stubborn look had finally changed, Amemiya breathed a sigh of relief. It was so hard to calm down the girl, and now she was depressed again.

"Then Rukia, I hope you can keep your mouth shut before the execution. Don't tell anyone what I just told you." Amemiya said seriously.

"Why?"

"Just believe me, I will tell you when the time comes." Amemiya couldn't explain too much now, so he could only let Rukia remain silent.

"Deputy Captain To, Deputy Captain of the Sixth Division Abarai Renji is here to visit you." After a while, Kotetsu Kiyone informed Amemiya Tou outside the door.

"Renji?" Rukia asked in confusion. After being arrested and brought back to Soul Society, she was sent to the 13th Division and never saw Abarai Renji again.

Abarai Renji looked at Rukia in a white prison uniform and couldn't help but ask, "Rukia, are you... okay?"

"Me? I'm fine." Rukia said to Abarai Renji naturally. After Amamiya Tou's guidance, she was really fine at the moment, but her red eyes had not faded yet, making Abarai Renji think that she was just showing off.

"Rukia, don't be too depressed. Maybe things can turn around. Don't give up." Abarai Renji said firmly.

"Huh? I..." Rukia now realized that Abarai Renji wanted to comfort her, and she couldn't help feeling relieved.

"Thank you, Renci, but as for me..." Rukia looked at Amamiya, not knowing whether to express her determination.

Amemiya shook his head at her, indicating that she should not tell Abarai Renji.

After Abarai Renji left with a heavy heart, Rukia said embarrassedly: "I always feel like Renji seems to have misunderstood something."

"Let him misunderstand like this, Renji will make his own choice." Amemiya knew that no matter how conflicted Abarai Renji was, he would definitely resist in the end.

But he couldn't really tell him anything, because Aizen was still paying attention to Abarai Renji, and it was best not to let any news reach Aizen's ears.

On the contrary, Aizen would actively hint to Abarai Renji to resist the orders of Soul Society. After all, Aizen hoped that there would be greater chaos in Soul Society so that he could fish in troubled waters.

Chapter 63 Already planned

At one o'clock in the morning, after hearing Urahara Kisuke's spoof-like notice, Ichigo Kurosaki rushed to Urahara's store.

After arriving at the store, Ichigo Kurosaki found that several of his companions had gathered here, preparing to go to Soul Society to save Rukia, which made him feel very relieved.

Urahara Kisuke explained in front, opening the gate to Soul Society.

"Mr. Kurosaki, I have something to tell you." Urahara Kisuke covered his face with his hat, "If you meet the vice-captain of the 13th Division, Amamiya Miyabi, in Soul Society, you can ask him for help."

"Amemiya? He mentioned to me about rescuing Rukia. But the 13th Division? I seem to have heard him mention it..." Ichigo Kurosaki asked confusedly.

"You will know when you arrive in Soul Society. Brother Amamiya is considered one of us."

"I understand. I will pay attention. It seems that the guy is not bad. He is actually willing to rebel against Soul Society for Rukia." Kurosaki Ichigo thought that Amemiya was just talking, but he didn't expect that he had already discussed it in detail with Urahara Kisuke.

On the other side, Amemiya also set out early from Xijinglingmen and headed for the Shiba family.

There should still be some time before Ichigo Kurosaki officially invades Soul Society. During this period of time, the Soul Society has not yet strictly restricted the entry and exit of people.

So now, Amemiya can still come to Rukongai to look for Shiba Kūkaku.

"Is this Jinyan and Yinyan? Please tell Miss Konghe that Amemiya is here to visit." Amemiya said to the two people at the door.

After waiting for a while, they brought Amemiya into the house.

"It's you again. What's the matter with you coming to see me this time?" Shiba Kūkaku asked irritably while sitting on the ground, holding his pipe.

"Ms. Kūkaku, do you know what happened in Soul Society recently?" Amemiya asked.

"Things about the God of Death? I'm not interested in knowing. Kuchiki Rukia has already come to apologize, and we have nothing to do with the God of Death anymore." Shiba Kūkaku said nonchalantly.

"Rukia was sentenced to death by Soul Society because she gave the power of the God of Death to humans in the human world. The execution will be carried out in a dozen days." Amemiya told her the news with a blank expression.

"What? That little girl?" Shiba Kūkaku asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"Ms. Kūkaku, do you know why I came to see you today?" Amamiya did not answer Shiba Kūkaku's question, but asked an unrelated question.

"Kid, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me." Shiba Kūkaku now realized the seriousness of the matter. He couldn't let Shiba Kūkaku watch Rukia die, someone his elder brother had entrusted to him with great difficulty.

"The human that Rukia gave the power of the God of Death is named Kurosaki Ichigo." Amemiya continued to keep the secret.

"So what? It's just a human name. Instead of discussing this, why not explain what's going on with Kuchiki Rukia?" Shiba Kūkaku asked with a frown.

"Don't worry, Ms. Kūkaku. I investigated Ichigo Kurosaki's family in the real world and found something interesting." Amemiya said.

Seeing that Shiba Kūkaku was about to lose control of her eyes, Amamiya Tsutomu stopped playing the role of a riddler and told her directly.

"Kurosaki Ichigo's father's name is Kurosaki Isshin. But the surname Kurosaki doesn't seem to be his original surname."

"Kurosaki... Isshin?" Shiba Kūkaku said the name in surprise, "Could it be that..."
