Chapter 609 The advantage is mine
However, the forty sages still showed no trust or doubt in the face of his request.
"Isn't this kind of lie ridiculous? The Fifth Division Lieutenant didn't leave Seireitei at all last night."
"The 124 squad members and all the captains can attest to this; there is no doubt about it."
"What did you say?"
Kisuke Urahara broke out in a cold sweat. Based on the state of the seated officer named Gin Ichimaru last night and Yuko's words, he had roughly guessed that Aizen's ability could affect other people's senses.
But... with hundreds of team members plus captains, has Aizen already extended his reach to every corner of Seireitei?
What should we do? How can we get out of this situation?
Even if Hirako and the others recover now, they may not be able to clear their names, let alone since they haven't regained consciousness yet.
"Report from your subordinate!"
A servant slipped behind Kisuke Urahara and the other man.
"In the research room of the 12th Division's barracks, many traces of research suspected to be Hollowfication were found."
Kisuke Urahara was no longer willing to waste his breath.
He really doesn't leave any chance at all, Aizen...
What a terrible enemy.
"The evidence appears to be conclusive," the judge announced. "I will now pronounce the verdict."
"The Great Ghost Daoist, Wo Ling Tie Zhai, will be imprisoned in the Third Underground Prison for using forbidden techniques."
"Kisuke Urahara, the captain of the 12th Division, has been stripped of all his spiritual power and banished to the mortal world forever for violating the law by researching and performing forbidden acts that resulted in the serious injury of his colleague."
"Furthermore, the eight captain-level members, including the fifth division captain, who were tragically killed as victims of evil experiments, will be treated as Hollows and dealt with accordingly."
"Please, please wait!"
"Shut up!!" the judge interrupted condescendingly.
Kisuke Urahara clenched his fist.
"What……"
Suddenly, a sage exclaimed in surprise.
"What happened?"
"what is that?"
The group started making a ruckus.
Something fell beside me.
Kisuke Urahara subconsciously looked down at his side, where drops of blood were floating in the air.
As the blood dripped from the sky, more and more droplets of blood gathered together.
"This is……"
As Kisuke Urahara's pupils contracted slightly, the blood droplets suddenly exploded, and streaks of crimson thorns, like living things, shot out in all directions.
The crimson thorns pierced through the numbered screen that stood in front of the sages and embedded themselves in the wall behind them.
A wise man looked shocked: "What is this?!"
In the very center, a cluster of blood-red ice crystal lotus flowers, aided by thorns, hung suspended in mid-air.
The Great Ghost Taoist Priest, holding a diamond-shaped iron bowl, looked up in surprise: "What exactly is that?"
There was surprisingly no fluctuation of spiritual energy.
boom! ! !
A sound.
A figure descended from the sky and landed directly on the ice lotus.
"who?!"
"Looks like they didn't reach an agreement, Kisuke." Yuuko held the Shura, the wound on her wrist slowly healing, and stood on the ice lotus, looking down.
Kisuke Urahara breathed a sigh of relief: "Yeah, that was really bad."
Since Yuko is here, it means that Hirako and the others should be safe.
"Who are you?! How dare you trespass into the Hall of Ceremonial Affairs!" the sages questioned one after another.
"Is this the time to talk about this?" Yuko was speechless for a moment. "The knife is already hanging over your neck and you still don't know how to run away."
Are you all idiots?
"What? What do you mean?"
Yu Zi sighed: "I really didn't expect that the so-called highest authority and judicial body would be such garbage."
“I am truly worried about the future of Seireitei.”
"Intruder!! Help!!!"
Even the most foolish among the sages should have realized what was happening by now.
Yu Zi snapped her fingers, and the blood-red thorns began to writhe as if they were alive, attacking the group.
“Ah! Help!!”
"Help! Someone come quick!!!"
As the crimson thorns rapidly approached, the sages let out a bloodcurdling howl.
"Yuko!" Kisuke Urahara was dumbfounded when he saw Yuko launch an attack directly.
Ignoring the screaming sages and judges, Yuko landed directly behind them.
"Don't worry, it's just to scare them." Yu Zi raised her knife and easily cut the shackles binding the two people.
These handcuffs appear to be specially made to restrain the spiritual pressure of death.
If someone is handcuffed, even a captain would have a hard time breaking free.
"Let's retreat first." Yu Zi casually tossed Shura into the prism; she actually wanted to kill these idiots in a few strokes.
But if I do that, even if I clear my name later, I won't be able to stay in Soul Society.
Of course, if it's just her, then it doesn't matter.
But Yoruichi is different from Kisuke.
Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Goriya exchanged a glance and could only nod helplessly.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the council hall, the three quickly fled.
They encountered Yoruichi, who had come to meet them, on the way. Instead of returning to their squad or the Shihouin family, the group hid directly in a cave within the Seireitei.
Looking at Hirako and his group lying haphazardly on the ground, Kisuke Urahara breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but sigh, "This is really terrible."
Ye glanced to the side and said, "I've thought of this outcome ever since I found out about this."
"Kisuke, I told you, you're playing with fire."
Yoruichi was not unaware of Kisuke Urahara's research on the Hogyoku.
Trusting her friend, Yoruichi did not stop him.
I never expected something like this to happen. Actually, Yoruichi had been feeling uneasy ever since she learned about the disappearance of souls.
Kisuke Urahara fell silent.
Yoruichi didn't say anything more, but gestured with her chin to the side: "That's the new Gigai you're researching. Hurry up and get started."
Yuko turned her head and saw a box that looked like a coffin placed in the corner.
She didn't know much about research on artificial bodies, but she had a clear understanding of the concepts.
The so-called "artificial body" is actually the physical body.
The body of a Shinigami is composed of spirit particles, which are souls that cannot be observed by others in the mortal world. A Gikai is the body that a Shinigami uses to operate in the mortal world.
Kisuke Urahara sighed, "You really can't hide anything from me. How annoying."
After the incident, they didn't exchange a single word, but they had already decided on their next steps.
They travel to the mortal world to escape the pursuit of the Seireitei.
Aizen went too far, and his abilities have interfered with countless people. They have no chance of turning the tide now, and even if they try to explain to the Captain-Commander, he probably won't believe them.
"Mr. Tessai, please stop time for Mr. Hirako and the others," Kisuke Urahara pleaded. "Then set up three layers of barriers."
"Over the next twenty hours, I will create a spiritual pressure blocking prosthetic body for use in the mortal world."
"understood."
Seeing that the instructions had been given and that Tetsuzai was about to perform the forbidden technique and set up the barrier, Yuko couldn't help but ask:
"It seems that going to the mortal world requires passing through a portal, right?"
Yoruichi said calmly, "Don't worry, the Shihouin family has a ready-made interdimensional portal."
"No, that's not what I meant." Yuko glanced at the crowd on the ground. "What I meant was, given the current situation, old man Yamamoto will probably be waiting for people at the Shihōin residence, right?"
Wo Ling Tiezhai interjected, "How about using the interdimensional portals of other nobles?"
Yu Zi shook her head: "That's impossible. Wouldn't that harm others as well?"
Only the four noble families possess private interdimensional portals. Under normal circumstances, they could borrow one from the Kuchiki family, but in the current situation, they clearly have no choice but to rely on themselves.
Yoruichi was also somewhat troubled: "My identity hasn't been exposed yet, so perhaps I should..."
Yu Zi interrupted her, saying, "From the moment you got involved with me, your identity has been impossible to clear."
Yoruichi's lips twitched: "Thank you so much."
Yes, if Yu Zi's identity is questioned, then her guardian will be finished too.
You should know that she was the one who initially vouched for Yuko.
Seeing this, Kisuke Urahara had no better ideas, so he left the arrangements to the two of them to think about, while he began to make a Gikai.
Yoruichi coldly raised her chin at Yuuko and asked, "So, what you said before, do you still stand by it?"
"what?"
"The story of one person taking on old man Yamamoto and Retsu Unohana."
"..." Of course she was bluffing!
One can fight, but how can two fight?
If it were Sister Hua, she might not have lost, and might even have been able to turn her against them, but Grandpa Yamamoto is a different story.
Putting aside whether he's stubborn or not, and whether his Bankai claim of destroying the world is just bragging, Yuko definitely can't beat him right now.
"Of course it counts." Yu Zi confidently assured him without the slightest hesitation. "Besides, several captains are already lying here, and with the two of you, there are still half left, aren't there?"
"Then, Sister Hua and I have a very close relationship, and old man Yamamoto definitely won't make a move easily..."
"I think the advantage is in my hands."
Yoru's eyelids twitched: "...So you're saying you're very brave?"
According to your calculation, they might as well just swagger back... no, they might as well just swagger off and explain.
"Just kidding, I'm super brave."
"Heh." Yoruichi sighed. "Since things have come to this, let's get ready."
She wasn't worried about Yushiro's safety. After all, the Shihouin family was one of the four great noble families, so they wouldn't be implicated because of this.
But... I guess we won't be able to say goodbye.
Yuko stroked her chin: "Hmm, Yoruichi, shouldn't you apologize to me?"
Yoruichi, her eyes narrowed, said speechlessly, "What? I don't feel like I owe you anything."
"Aizen."
"...Who would have thought this?" Yoruichi's lips twitched violently twice.
She was saying that if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and as long as it doesn't hit them, everything will be fine. But it just so happens that it hits them squarely.
That's really bad luck.
"Fine, it's my fault!"
Yu Zi nodded silently: "He's quite sincere."
Yoruichi was about to retort when she saw that Yuuko had already lost interest, turned around and walked towards a rock, sat down cross-legged against it, and placed her Zanpakuto on her lap.
Is it spiritual practice?
Seeing this, Yoruichi also found a quiet corner to stay in and carefully considered her next move.
This place can only be dealt with temporarily; it will definitely be discovered if left unchecked.
Once Kisuke completes the artificial body, he must leave as soon as possible.
But the trouble lies ahead. Given Yamamoto's personality, he'll probably be waiting for us at the Shihōin residence.
What if we borrow the Transcendent Gate from the 13th Division?
As the division that deals with souls in the present world, the 13th Division has a special interdimensional portal.
Although Captain Ukitake certainly wouldn't lend it to them, it might be a good idea for them to leave through the 13th Division's gate while they were blocking the entrance to the Shihōin residence.
This can be considered as an alternative method.
……
While Yoruichi pondered his plan, Ikuko once again immersed herself in her inner world.
"Butterflies!!" Yuko returned to the tranquil butterfly house. "It's an emergency!"
The butterfly, like a statue, still sits in the corridor.
Hearing Yuko's voice, he turned around and smiled, "I saw you, Yuko."
“I really need your Bankai right now,” Yuko said seriously as she sat down next to her.
Previously, she wasn't this anxious about seeking Bankai, but now that this has happened, she's finding it a bit overwhelming to deal with Shikai.
Putting aside how the remaining captains will be assigned, you have to understand that they have more than just captains; even with the advantage of fewer people, the fight could turn into a very difficult one.
This time, the butterfly didn't directly refuse: "Didn't I already say that?"
“Yuko has absolutely no understanding of how I… or rather, you, or how you use your abilities.”
"You mean the name?"
“Because you don’t understand your own needs, that’s why you’re like this…” Butterfly jumped down the corridor and walked to the center of the courtyard.
Yuko was stunned for a moment. Under her astonished gaze, Butterfly slowly drew the same Zanpakuto that Yuko wore from her waist, and then turned around.
"Want to give it a try, Yuko?" Butterfly smiled slightly. "Let's see how we use our abilities differently."
difference……
She was talking about differences, which means that she was using her abilities incorrectly... No, not necessarily incorrectly, but it's certain that there was a misunderstanding.
Yu Zi took a deep breath and complained, "It should have been done a long time ago. Whether it was a fight or something else, at least it would have taught me how to get my real name."
Butterfly rolled her eyes slightly: "Yuko is really quite clueless."
Yuko stood directly opposite the butterfly, drew her Zanpakuto from her waist, her golden eyes splitting into double pupils, and a pair of ferocious demon horns sprouted from the top of her head:
The butterfly smiled and said, "Are you getting this serious right from the start?"
Yuko's expression was serious: "Yes, although I enjoyed chatting with Butterfly, I hope to master Bankai as soon as possible."
The butterfly tilted its head: "Who said it was Bankai?"
"what?"
Under Yuko's bewildered gaze, Butterfly slowly raised the blade and parted her lips slightly.
"Disorder, formless butterfly."
The shattered prism suddenly appeared, floating in the courtyard.
"Isn't this the same?" Yuko examined it for a moment, then gave an order to release her Zanpakuto.
"Disorder, formless butterfly!"
