The only player in the world of Bleach

Ok?

Did I do something to upset her? Or is it simply because she's been acting strangely lately?

Although I don't understand the reason, in short... it's better to stay away for now.

After finishing processing the relevant content himself, Matsushita Yusuke sat in his office, looking at his panel with a worried expression.

Tsk, you've gotten stronger again.

But it doesn't feel real?

I originally thought that the battle with Kenpachi Zaraki would be a thrilling and life-or-death struggle.

But the result was surprisingly simple. After Matsushita Yusuke's barrage of attacks, Zaraki collapsed, just like the big dog in the original story, groaning and starving.

'Could it be that I'm actually incredibly strong?'

Of course, this was just a joke.

Because Yusuke Matsushita is very clear about his strengths and the key to his victory this time.

The most important thing is to have prepared enough countermeasures and made the most accurate plans. When facing this type of strong opponent, as long as you have the right countermeasures, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Clearly, this encounter provided Matsushita Yusuke with a great deal of inspiration.

At the same time, he roughly understood Lao Lan's behavioral logic—regardless of whether he could win or not, it was always right to use his brain and think of a countermeasure.

Even if it's impossible to predict everything, it's still necessary to take precautions to some extent.

However, Matsushita Yusuke thought this was a test, but it turned out to be a pure welfare scheme... So the question is, if he went all out, how far could he go now?

Yusuke Matsushita rubbed his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

At the same moment he was pondering this, a familiar presence was silently approaching.

soon……

A figure appeared quietly and stood beside Matsushita Yusuke.

The other party appeared as if squeezed out of thin air, in a manner that was almost 'unbelievable'.

It's Tosen Kaname.

He was no longer the disheveled man he had been when watching the battle; now he was dressed neatly and speaking in a rather serious tone.

"Matsushita... Lord Aizen wants to see you."

Considering that Tosen had been watching the game before, this development was not unexpected.

Matsushita Yusuke agreed and stood up.

"Then let's go."

Although he is also a squad leader, and his duties are not so few as to be nonexistent, under the influence of Kyoka Suigetsu, a fake 'Matsushita Yusuke' can completely take over some of his responsibilities.

Achieving a 90% or higher level of imitation within a short period of time essentially eliminates the vast majority of potential exposure.

After leaving the Eleventh Division's base, the two made no attempt to hold back and headed straight for the Fifth Division.

However, although they had the illusion of a mirage as cover, they were not to the point of being 'unbridled'.

At least when traveling, you can't use Instant Step to move, because even if the opponent is confused, an old-generation expert like the Mountain Elder will still be able to sense something is wrong most of the time.

The changes in spiritual pressure are difficult to conceal, so for safety reasons, it's more practical to just run away on foot.

As for the less common ones...

That means that while traveling, both sides should also be careful to avoid some normal soldiers.

Because the targets of the "Mirror Flower Water Moon" technique are fixed individuals, even though Lao Lan occasionally goes to the Spiritual Arts Academy to use her methods on everyone, there will always be some who slip through the net.

If someone were to accidentally witness the two captains becoming sworn brothers, then any subsequent explanations or follow-up actions would be an unnecessary drain on the Sky Club.

Aizen was quite cautious in this regard, so Matsushita Yusuke and Tosen Kaname naturally didn't show any negligence.

Both of them acted cautiously.

Only after entering the territory of the Fifth Division did both sides breathe a sigh of relief.

After a period of management, Aizen's territory had long been developed into an impregnable fortress.

Here, the two of them could act a little more casually, because in the eyes of these people, he and Tosen were just ordinary team members with average appearances and nothing memorable about them.

They drove straight in and quickly found the captain's office.

Raise your hand and knock on the door.

dong dong dong...

"Come in."

Inside, Aizen Sousuke, seated behind his desk, was smiling at the two of them.

"Welcome... my two most capable assistants."

While this sounds nice, a closer analysis reveals the problem with the statement.

—Boss, do you still have any so-called third party under your command?

It doesn't exist...

While reflecting on this, Matsushita Yusuke rubbed his chin thoughtfully and noticed that Aizen was staring at him with a smile.

"Sir... is there anything you need?"

"Matsushita-kun".

He suddenly stood up, quickly stepped forward, and looked Matsushita Yusuke up and down for a while before whispering something.

"Although I had some expectations about your strength before, I didn't expect you to be this strong."

"Uh...you flatter me, it's just that I was well prepared."

“Being well-prepared is a demonstration of strength! There’s no need to belittle yourself, Matsushita-kun… In fact, given your current level of ability, I already have a slightly unrealistic plan.”

"...???"

Hold on.

Well known.

Lao Lan has always been a very cautious and careful person.

For this guy... he always weighs the pros and cons of his actions, and after careful consideration, he finds the key point with the least risk and the greatest benefit.

Based on this premise.

What could possibly make Lao Lan use the adjective 'impractical' to describe it?

Boss, you have a problem!

178: I'm going to fight Yamamoto?

Seemingly noticing Matsushita Yusuke's slightly surprised expression, or perhaps simply realizing that his words and actions were a bit too 'direct'.

After a brief silence, Aizen Sousuke coughed to cover up the embarrassment on his face.

"Ahem... Let's get straight to the point."

Then.

Start with the simplest and most straightforward things.

"Matsushita-kun, and... Tosen, you should also think about this for a moment. What is the most pressing problem for us right now?"

This is a rather broad question.

This caused both of them to show a thoughtful expression.

After careful consideration, Yusuke Matsushita gave his answer first.

Is it a problem with Hueco Mundo?

After all, that place is the future base camp. If it drags on for too long without any results, it will indeed become a headache.

"Could it be a problem with the research progress?"

This inference has its merits, considering the recent research, which is currently mostly stuck at key technical junctures.

Although if things proceed gradually in chronological order, the goal will eventually be achieved.

However, faced with the answers given by the two, Aizen Sousuke sighed, shook his head, and looked troubled.

What are you even talking about...?

"Our current problem is that we don't have high-level combat capabilities to deal with Captain-Commander Yamamoto."

Aizen raised his right hand and spoke with a slightly wistful tone.

"In Hueco Mundo, issues like research progress can be resolved with time; they're not problems in the literal sense. In contrast... Captain-Commander Yamamoto is a mountain standing in our way. If we can't find a way to deal with him, our plan can't be implemented."

That statement does have some merit.

Considering the content of the original work, Aizen's many years of planning ultimately stemmed from his fear of Yamamoto.

Thinking about it carefully, Lao Lan can be considered the kind of person who has endured hardship and bided his time... Your opponent is an Asura who can burn through the Three Realms when he goes mad, and your ability is illusion. So how do you deal with this opponent now?

According to the original storyline, the solution that Lao Lan found was to rely on the resources of Hueco Mundo to create a targeted 'Fire Extinguishing Prince' to counter it.

Of course, the results were quite successful.

Not only did he successfully extinguish the old man's flames, but he also forced the old man to lose his temper with his witty remarks, making him use a foolish move like "One-Sword Cremation," which would cause him to lose a thousand points of his own strength and only a few points of damage to the enemy.

If it weren't for Ichigo Kurosaki, Aizen's grand plan would have been complete after dealing with the old man. All that would have been left was to storm the Soul King's Palace, get passed around by a few Soul Reapers, and finally end up in Avici Hell...

So wait, does the result itself not change at all?

Yusuke Matsushita scratched his head, ultimately deciding not to delve any deeper. He felt that continuing like this would only give him a brain...

all in all.

Old Man Shan is indeed the final boss of this version; you have to take him down first if you want to unlock the Spirit King Palace dungeon.

But...

"Aizen-sensei, isn't it a bit too much to try and deal with Captain-Commander Yamamoto now?"

Tosen nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with this viewpoint.

However, Aizen Sousuke seems to have other perspectives.

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with that statement itself. But... that's not a reason for us to 'remain inactive'."

His gaze was sharp, gleaming with anticipation, and even his tone became subtle.

"Before we completely eliminate Captain-Commander Yamamoto, we need to continuously probe him... to find out his bottom line and strength. Just like conducting an experiment, we need different data to derive the most accurate result."

After a pause, Aizen added.

"Gentlemen, don't you feel the same way?"

Honestly.

Theoretically, there is no problem.

But I always felt that this sentence sounded a bit strange.

Matsushita Yusuke and Tosen Kaname exchanged a glance. Although the blind man's eyesight was usually poor, the troubled look on his face was hard to hide.

The former tried to ask.

"So... Aizen-sensei, do you mean we should turn against Captain-Commander Yamamoto?"

"Of course, it's not that extreme, but we can try... to test Captain-Commander Yamamoto's strength little by little in our own way, so that we can come up with some countermeasures for him later."

Theoretically, there shouldn't be any problem, but...

Who made the move?

Aizen Sousuke turned his gaze to Matsushita Yusuke; though he didn't speak, his eyes spoke volumes…

Hey?

Should I fight Yamamoto?

Is this for real...? It'll just evaporate, right?!

"Matsushita-kun, your Zanpakuto ability is the kind that gives you a significant advantage."
