Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 296, Section 294: The Hill of Twin Calamities Where Many Gather

Kisaragi Shusuke is very excited right now.

He even wished he could just fall down and recognize the Quincy named Kabuto Takuya.

Others may not know who Takuya Kabuto is.

But how could Kisaragi Shusuke not know Kabuto Takuya?
It's Higashino Shuichi back!
Originally, Kisaragi Shusuke had only wanted to come and see what was going on.

Now, without saying a word, they've become supporters of Higashino Shuichi.

After all, Shuichi has returned, so whether or not to save that Grim Reaper named Nemuru is no longer important.

I'm sure Xiuichi has his own ideas.

As for him, Ruyue Xiuzhu, all he had to do was follow orders.

However, there was one Grim Reaper that was particularly annoying. His sudden appearance prevented Kisaragi Shusuke from going down directly to recognize Higashino Shuichi.

Kenpachi Zaraki, captain of the 11th Division
After getting lost, the captain, who arrived late, let the little girl Kusajishi Yachiru off his shoulder, stretched his limbs slightly, and stared intently at Kisaragi Shusuke.

"That old man Yamamoto said that you guys would definitely not behave yourselves, and it turned out to be true."

"That's fine too. That guy's gone now, and as his apprentice, I've been wanting to spar with you for a while!"

Kenpachi Zaraki's fighting spirit was high.

In their eyes, there was no place for Higashino Shuichi and Kurosaki Masaki, these two "outsiders".

For him, if he had to choose between stopping the Quincy's advance and fighting Kisaragi Shusuke, Kenpachi Zaraki would not hesitate at all.

So the situation seems to have returned to its previous state.

But it didn't.

Because a Shinigami (death god) came with Kisaragi Shusuke.

Her name is Matsumoto Rangiku.

While all the Grim Reapers insisted on not betraying their mission, Matsumoto Rangiku heartlessly volunteered to become a "traitor."

"Lieutenant Matsumoto, you should know the consequences of bringing a Quincy to Sogyoku Hill."

Seeing that Matsumoto Rangiku was preparing to take Higashino Shuichi to Sōkyō Hill, Ayasegawa Yumichika couldn't help but remind him.

If it were any other Shinigami acting as the guide, Ayasegawa Yumichika would definitely stop them.

But he couldn't do what Matsumoto Rangiku said.

It wasn't because he had any special feelings for Matsumoto Rangiku, but because Matsumoto Rangiku's actions, to some extent, represented the stance of that Kabuto-sama.

What is the Kabuto family, one of the four great noble families, planning to do?!

Ayasegawa Yumichika dared not think about it, much less take sides.

"I know, thanks for reminding me, Yumichika!"
I'll treat you to drinks another day~

Matsumoto Rangiku smiled nonchalantly at Ayasegawa Yumichika.

What a joke! Now that Higashino Shuichi is back, what do these guys have to be afraid of?

If the Gotei 13 really starts causing trouble for them, given their current strength, they could easily cobble together a completely new Gotei 13 and rebuild it themselves.

Like Kisaragi Shusuke, Matsumoto Rangiku, one of the few Shinigami who knew of Kabuto Takuya's existence, was also extremely excited at this moment.

She also guessed what Higashino Shuichi wanted to do.

Therefore, she directly cooperated with Higashino Shuichi's performance and took the initiative to play the role of a collaborator.

It wasn't until Matsumoto Rangiku left with Higashino Shuichi and Kurosaki Masaki, and the 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki and the 10th Division Captain Shusuke Kisaragi were locked in a heated argument in the sky, that Ayasegawa Yumichika belatedly realized that something was amiss.

No, what about the other team leaders?

The Quincy caused such a commotion in the Seireitei that even many ordinary Shinigami knew something bad was going to happen, but now that the battle has raged on, why is it that only their own squad captain, who usually gets lost, has arrived?

"That's because the Gotei 13 is completely busy right now~"

The vice-captain of the 11th Division, a little girl named Kusajishi Yachiru, heard the question raised by Ayasegawa Yumichika and took the initiative to go over and answer it.

The reason is actually quite simple: for the Soul Society, publicly executing Nemu is more important.

This is because it not only concerns the authority of the Central 46 Chambers of Soul Society, but also serves as a warning to others.

Therefore, after realizing that the group of Grim Reapers left behind by Higashino Shuichi was very likely to cause trouble, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni ordered all the captains to ignore Higashino Shuichi, this uninvited guest.

Let an ordinary Grim Reaper stop this Quincy disguised as Higashino Shuichi, called Kabuto Takuya.

In fact, as the captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki also received the same order.

After all, this time, even Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of the 12th Division, and Jushiro Ukitake, the captain of the 13th Division who was weak and sickly, were forcibly conscripted by Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

Kenpachi Zaraki is one of the top combatants among the current captains of the Soul Society, so there is no reason not to keep him on standby.

However, Kenpachi Zaraki's terrible sense of direction is just too much.

With all the Shinigami who could guide Kenpachi Zaraki temporarily summoned away because of Shuichi Higashino's previous arrow, the situation became even more complicated.

Kenpachi Zaraki, along with his vice-captain, Yachiru Kusajishi, who also had a terrible sense of direction, still couldn't find the location of Sōkyō no Oka.

Even though he and Kusajishi Yachiru both had the experience of going to Sōkyō no Oka.

However, even after living in Seireitei for countless years, the two of them still got lost.

Rather than saying that Kenpachi Zaraki, like Yumichika Ayasegawa and the others, actively followed the scent and came over.

It's more like a beautiful coincidence.

"what should I do?"

The same question once again came to Yumichika Ayasegawa's mind.

This time, he didn't hesitate much. After entrusting the seriously injured Madarame Ikkaku, whose Zanpakuto had been shattered, to his vice-captain Kusajishi Yachiru, Ayasegawa Yumichika set off to chase after them in the direction of Sōkyōgaoka.

He had a premonition that something momentous would happen there today, something that would be recorded in the annals of Soul Society.

It might even determine the future fate of Soul Society!
In Ayase Gawa Yumichika's mind, a scene of a chaotic battle between the Grim Reapers had already appeared.

However, he shared a similar fate with his captain—being trapped in battle and unable to reach Twin Peaks Hill.

It was that female Quincy; she stayed behind halfway, wanting to stop these pursuers for the male Quincy.

"Senior Kabuto said that only a few Shinigami would come after us, and he was right!" Kurosaki Masaki said, standing opposite Ayasegawa Yumichika, holding a spiritual longbow formed from gathered spiritual energy.

This was a request she made on her own initiative.

After being virtually invisible for most of the show, Masaki Kurosaki felt she should do something.

But she can't follow Kabuto-senpai anymore, otherwise Kabuto-senpai can handle everything by herself, and she won't have a chance at all.

"I actually don't recommend you do that, because you're no match for me!"

After realizing that the nature of the situation had changed, Yumichika Ayasegawa had lost interest in continuing to fight against the Quincy.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Unfortunately, Masaki Kurosaki completely failed to understand Yumichika Ayasegawa's feelings at that moment.

The small battle between the two began with Masaki Kurosaki's first arrow.

The story ends with Ayasegawa Yumichika's Zanpakuto being forced to withdraw from Bankai.

Masaki Kurosaki lost, but Yumichika Ayasegawa didn't win either.

The two were evenly matched.

But during their battle, the heavens of Soul Society did indeed change, just as Ayasegawa Yumichika had predicted.

However, it was indeed a little different from the scene that Ayasegawa Yumichika had imagined.

Because the one who disrupted the skies of Soul Society was not a group, but a single individual.
Rewind to the moment when Higashino Shuichi had just arrived outside the south gate of Seireitei and fired that enormous Sacred Annihilation Arrow that swept across the entire Seireitei.

Soi Fon, the captain of the Second Division who had been stationed outside the Maggot Nest, remained unmoved and spoke to Nemuru inside the nest.
"It's time."

"Well, let's set off."

Yinmeng's answer was calm, as if she were the one about to be executed, not a complete stranger.

On the way to escort Nemuro to Sogyoku Hill, Soi Fon and the others could see from time to time that Shinigami from different squads were gathering in a certain place.

Many Grim Reapers also went to the outskirts of the residences of various nobles to provide temporary protection.

Soi Fon had mixed feelings.

Due to her duties, Soi Fon was unable to keep up with the latest information about the Seireitei.

However, she could roughly guess that, apart from those Shinigami, there shouldn't be any other Shinigami who could cause such a commotion in Soul Society.

The Quincy's Sacred Arrow is most likely just a smokescreen.

The true purpose of those Grim Reapers must be this Yinmeng in their hands.

Soi Fon didn't want anything to happen to Nemuru, but she didn't want to face the blades of those Grim Reapers even more.

They should never be enemies!

Something must have gone wrong!
Fortunately, until Soi Fon brought Nemura to Sōkyōgaoka, she did not encounter the worst situation she had imagined.

Unfortunately, after she handed Nemuru over to Byakuya Kuchiki, the captain of the Sixth Division, who was waiting at Sogyoku Hill to carry out a public execution of Nemuru, she saw a familiar figure.

Soi Fon followed, and sure enough, it was Yoruichi Shihouin!

"Lord Yoruichi, what brings you here?"

Because they had already met once before, and had not only fought each other but also had a heart-to-heart talk, Soi Fon was able to maintain the composure expected of a captain when she saw Yoruichi Shihouin again after a long time.

"Yinmeng cannot be publicly executed. This trial by the Central 46th Bureau was a conspiracy from beginning to end!"

Yoruichi Shihouin went to Soi Fon first instead of other Shinigami because she believed that no matter what kind of influence other Shinigami had been affected, Soi Fon would definitely not be affected.

Only Soi Fon would be willing to calm down and listen to what she has to say.

And that was indeed the case. Soi Fon listened to Yoruichi Shihouin recount the story of what happened in the Central 46 Chambers, including the story of Tosen Kaname, the captain of the 9th Division of the Gotei 13, who was willing to sacrifice himself to cover someone's actions.

Although Yoruichi Shihouin did not participate directly, she did watch the entire battle from the sidelines.

That's why she arrived so late, only appearing after Soi Fon brought Nemuru to Sōkyōgaoka and handed her over.

"I can trust that you, Yoruichi, won't lie to me, but what about the other captains?"

"What you've said, Lord Yoruichi, is truly appalling. The other captains might not believe it."

Soi Fon remained silent for a long time before quietly expressing her opinion.

She didn't directly state her position, but the way she spoke, even in a somewhat humble tone, completely revealed Soi Fon's true thoughts.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we can stop Yinmeng from being executed today."

"Given the current state of Central Bureau 46, investigating it won't take you much time at all."

Yoruichi Shihouin shared her thoughts.

She maintained her consistent viewpoint.

There was absolutely no need to fight this battle.

They, and the entire Soul Society, must recognize who the real enemy is!
Who on earth caused Soul Society to become like this?!

Who was it that drove the once promising young Higashino Shuichi step by step to a dead end?
Yoruichi Shihouin believed that there must be a mastermind behind this, plotting something.

And Yoruichi Shihouin could confidently name the mastermind behind it all.

"Aizen Sosuke!"

"Captain Aizen of the Fifth Division?"

Upon hearing the name, Soi Fon immediately conjured up an image of a kind, gentle, and moderately strong person who was universally praised among all the Shinigami.

Could such a Grim Reaper be someone who could slaughter all the members of the Central 46 in one go and manipulate the fates of countless captains and vice-captains, both past and present?
Even though these words came from Yoruichi Shihouin, Soi Fon still had reservations.

However, she still cherished the mistress-servant and sisterly bond she once shared with Yoruichi Shihouin.
They prepared to go to the execution platform to persuade Byakuya Kuchiki, the captain of the Sixth Division, to temporarily halt the execution of Nemu.

But at that very moment, a Grim Reaper moved even faster than Soi Fon, physically halting the execution—which was problematic in every way—with an unusually forceful approach.

"At the edge of a thousand hands, the revered hand cannot reach the darkness, the archer of the heavens cannot reflect the light. The path of radiance falls, the wind that ignites the sparks, gather together without confusion, follow my instructions, light bullet, eight bodies, nine strips, heavenly scripture, swift treasure, great wheel, gray turret, draw the bow into the distance, and vanish in a bright light."

"Hado #91, Thousand-Armed Kyoten Taipa!"

Standing atop the sky at the very end of the Twin Peaks, Yujima Osh, the vice-captain of the 12th Division, finished chanting the Kido, which was now a forbidden technique, with arrogance and confidence.
