Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy

"Even the head of the Tsuna family is dead, and we're the first to know... It'll probably be all over Soul Society by tomorrow!"

"Tsuna has already killed them all, let's go!"

Ōmaeda Kinosugu and Obana Jiro left the roof of the council hall.

Chapter 258: The Gate of Hell Reappears

Shikamori Nanatsuki and Aizen Sousuke walked briskly through the courtyard.

The two encountered some other people on their way.

Apart from the servants, everyone else wearing clothing bearing the Tsunayo family crest was killed one by one by Shikagari Nanatsuki and Aizen Sousuke.

The two moved very quickly.

There are many things to do and time is tight.

They weren't just going to kill people and be done with it; they had several other things to do.

"Teacher, this is where the 'Mirror of Beauty' is kept."

Aizen Sousuke led his teacher to a magnificent tower-like building.

This is the most heavily guarded place by the Tsunayoshiro family.

However, the guards here were completely unaware of the commotion outside and remained in the pavilion guarding the treasure.

Besides killing people and creating a hellish atmosphere, July also wants to take away the treasures inside.

Here is a treasure that is extremely attractive to July—

Fragments of the Spirit King!

The ancestors of the Tsunayo family participated in the dismemberment of the Spirit King's body, and they also preserved some fragments of the Spirit King.

"The upper level contains the library and some rare treasures, while the fragments of the Spirit King are in the basement."

Aizen Sousuke had been here before and had scouted the location in advance, knowing where the Soul King fragments were kept.

"Take them all away!" July swiftly completed her Bankai, "Bankai, All Forms are Shadows!"

July now has a stronger grasp of shadow abilities than before.

Initially, his Bankai could only summon a shadow with a strength of about one to five-tenths of his original body.

If it is his own shadow, then he has 50% of the strength.

If it's someone else's shadow, then it depends on the object being replicated.

The stronger the object to be copied, the lower the percentage of power that can be replicated.

He can now summon two such shadows at the same time.

Not only that, he can also make his shadow clones further differentiate.

The shadows can split into more shadows, but doing so will weaken their strength.

July summoned dozens of his own shadows.

He then handed over the prepared spirit space pockets to the shadows.

After obtaining the spirit space pocket, the shadows immediately entered the pavilion and packed up its contents to take away.

Meanwhile, July and Aizen Sousuke went to deal with the dozen or so guards in the attic.

These guards were all members of the Tsunayo branch family. Since they had already chosen to take action, they did not intend to leave any future troubles.

The guards in the attic were just like their master.

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late to struggle.

The location where the Spirit King fragments are stored is protected by a spiritual barrier, and July needs to retrieve them in person.

In July, Aizen Sousuke and Shichiru arrived at the basement of the pavilion.

The Tsunayo family seemed very confident in this spiritual barrier, as there were no guards or protectors here.

The two walked through a narrow corridor and arrived at a secret room.

"The fragments of the Spirit King are inside, and the 'Mirror of Beauty' is stored in the room on the right."

Aizen Sousuke pointed to the room on the right, where there was only an empty sword rack, which was obviously the sword rack used to display the 'Enchantress Mirror'.

The secret chamber has two side chambers, with the fragments of the Spirit King stored in the left side chamber.

The shadow space of July extended outwards, instantly crossing the spiritual barrier of the side chamber.

Inside the side chamber, there were more than ten containers filled with a green solution.

The fragments of the Spirit King are soaked in a certain medicinal liquid that inhibits their activity and prevents them from developing self-awareness.

Of these containers, only two contained relatively large pieces of body tissue; the rest were fragments less than one centimeter in length.

The two containers containing the larger fragments of the Spirit King contained a bone in one container and a piece of meat in the other.

"This must be Lord Spirit King's knee... This is... a muscle in his calf."

July is very familiar with human anatomy and can tell at a glance where these two parts come from.

They are all tissues from the legs.

"So, Lord Spirit King was truly separated from their ancestors..."

Aizen Sosuke's eyes flickered slightly. Although he had previously obtained a fragment of the Soul King from his teacher for research, a small bone could not explain the Soul King's current state.

The bodily tissues he was seeing gave him a deeper understanding of the Spirit King's current state.

Time is of the essence, so I don't plan to study these things here in July; I'll just pack them up and take them with me.

A while later, the shadows returned to July's side.

The books and treasures in the pavilion were all taken away by the shadows.

"Now we'll do one last thing, Sousuke!"

“I’m ready, teacher.”

The two left the pavilion and came into the air.

In July, she took out the box containing the 'Hellfire Pyrod'.

After infusing spiritual pressure into the 'Hell Rinjutsu', he threw it down to the ground.

Moments later, the 'Hellfire Pyrod' exploded inside the Tsunayoshiro mansion.

The visible blackish-red hellish phosphorescence spread rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the mansion of Tsunayoshiro was filled with a strong hellish atmosphere.

The traces of spirit particles left by July and Aizen Sousuke were instantly tainted by hell pyrokinetic energy into hell spirit particles.

Even the spiritual particles in the atmosphere were tainted by the hellish pyrokinetic energy and transformed into hellish spiritual particles.

The hellish spiritual particles had become so dense that they were visible to the naked eye, turning into a blackish-red mist.

The entire courtyard was filled with black and red mist and hellish phosphorescence.

Under Aizen Sousuke's manipulation, people near the Tsunayashiro residence saw a "Gate of Hell" slowly emerge within the Tsunayashiro family compound.

Ōmaeda Kinosugu and Obana Jiro have left the Tsunayashiro residence and are in a pavilion closest to the Tsunayashiro family.

"Vice Captain, I found Tsunayoshi Tokinada at the Tsunayoshi family's residence!"

Ōmaeda Kinosugu is using a communication device to contact Vice-Captain Shihōin Yoruichi.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My teacher has already killed Tsunayoshi Tokinada!"

Yoruichi Shihouin's voice came through the communication device.

"It's true! He's returned from hell, and he even killed the head of the Tsunayoshi family..."

Noriyuki Omaeda rushed forward.

"Hey—look at that!"

Obana Jiro tugged at Omaeda Noriyuki's sleeve.

"I'm reporting to the vice-captain, don't disturb me... uh... the Gates of Hell?!"

Ōmaeda Noriyuki turned around and looked, then froze instantly.

He saw a gate to hell appear in the courtyard ahead.

The 'Gates of Hell' opened a crack, and dark mist emanated from within.

Holding the 'Mirror of Beauty', Tsunayoshi Tokina stood before the Gates of Hell. He transformed into a wisp of black and red mist and entered the crack of the 'Gates of Hell'.

A moment later, the 'Gates of Hell' gradually disappeared.

"Hey...hey...why did you suddenly stop talking...what did you just say? What's this about the Gates of Hell?"

The voice from the messenger machine pulled the stunned Ōmaeda Kinoshita back to reality.

"Vice Captain! I've discovered urgent intelligence! The Gates of Hell have opened at the Tsunayo family's residence!"

Chapter 259 Brainstorming

The news of the strange events in the noble district quickly reached Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

The Noble District is one of the core areas of Seireitei. The sudden appearance of the Gates of Hell here immediately plunged Seireitei into a state of emergency.

The entire Gotei 13 quickly sprang into action.

Within ten minutes, the captains and vice-captains of each squad arrived at the residence of the Tsunayo clan.

The Tsunayo family mansion was shrouded in black and red hellish spirit particles.

Some light shone through the flames.

"Such a dense aura of hell! The hellish spiritual particles here are even visible to the naked eye!"

Kyoraku Shunsui exclaimed in amazement.

The group could sense that there was no more spiritual pressure fluctuation inside the mansion, so they did not rush to go in.

The fifth division's vice-captain, Yan Yuan, is confirming information with Obana Jiro and Omaeda Noriyuki.

Some servants who had escaped from Tsunayoshi's house were also reporting the situation to the Shinigami of the Fifth Division.

Kiryu and Kisuke Urahara are using a spirit particle instrument to detect the hellish spirit particles escaping from inside.

"We really saw Tsunayoshi Tokinada!"

Ōmaeda Kinosugu was certain that he hadn't seen it, and he wasn't the only one who had seen Tsunayoshi Tokinada.

"Tsuna died some time ago... but only those at the captain level or above can go to hell after death!"

Deputy Captain Yan Yuan frowned deeply.

The incident involving Takeshi Nobukatsu a few years ago gave the captains and vice-captains some information related to Hell.

It is now confirmed that powerful individuals at the captain level or above do not reincarnate in the mortal world after death, but are reborn only in hell.

However, Tsunayoshi Tokinada only has the strength of a vice-captain, and normally he does not have the conditions to go to hell for rebirth.

"Is that so...? It must be the interference of that 'Lord of Hell'?"

Ōmaeda Kinosugu revealed the information he had overheard: "I remember Tsunayoshi Tokinada saying that the Lord of Hell gave him the chance to return here."

"The Lord of Hell...the legendary Will of Hell?"

Deputy Captain Yan Yuan felt that things were getting very complicated.

“That persistent ghost…” Kyoraku Shunsui’s face darkened slightly. “Did you personally witness Tsunayoshi Tokinada leaving this place through the Gates of Hell?”

"Yes, we were in that building at the time, very close to here."

The two nodded.

“The servants who escaped also saw Tsunayoshi Tokinada leave through the Gates of Hell,” Yoruichi Shihouin said. “I just asked around the area, and people nearby also saw the Gates of Hell.”

Yoruichi Shihouin was the first to arrive. After arriving, she first checked the information with the servants and people nearby.

"He actually has a way to open the gates of hell within the Seireitei..."
