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

Chapter 297, Section 295: Busy Soi Fon

"Is it finally here?"

Standing in front of the Sogyoku, Byakuya Kuchiki used the release of his Zanpakuto, using the scattered Senbonzakura blossoms to block the attack from Shima Oshu, and narrowed his eyes.

The appearance of Shimaoshi proved that ignoring the Quincy who suddenly arrived in Soul Society was the right choice.

Looking at Yushima Osh in the air, Kuchiki Byakuya felt a pang of regret.

There was a time when he did have the opportunity to become close friends with Shuichi Higashino.

He just didn't catch it.

Now, he and these Grim Reapers who are closely associated with Higashino Shuichi can only turn against each other with their blades.

This was an inevitable outcome.

Kuchiki Byakuya still remembers the secret meeting that his Kuchiki family and the Shihouin family held a few days ago.

Those who participated in the meeting included, besides the head of the Kuchiki family, Kuchiki Byakuya himself, the current head of the Shihōin family, Shihōin Yuushirō Sakimune, and high-ranking members of both families.

Kuchiki Byakuya only learned about the meeting's contents afterward.

The central issue is whether the outcome of the trial by the Central 46th Bureau was reasonable, and whether it was necessary for them to intervene.
The conclusion is that it's unreasonable, but there's no need to interfere.

Because that group believed that if the result was simply the death of a captain of the 12th Division and nothing else happened, then it wouldn't matter, and the impact on the other Shinigami would be negligible.

But if it could alert the Kabuto family and the Shinigami who live near them, they might do things they shouldn't.

That was a fantastic decision.

Those people had long been secretly wary of the Kabuto family's existence.

If we can use this incident as a breakthrough to drag the Gotei 13 into the fray and bring them into direct confrontation with the Shinigami of the Kabuto family, then even if Kabuto Sayako is spared execution because she is one of the four great noble families, we can still achieve our goal.

However, those Shinigami who are loyal to Kabuto Sayaka will definitely be either killed or imprisoned by the Gotei 13.

In short, after this incident, the Kabuto family will never amount to anything again.

Unless the Kabuto family produces another Grim Reaper like Shuichi Higashino.

After Kuchiki Byakuya heard the report from his clan members about the results, he remained silent for a long time.

He certainly knew what the consequences would be if his family members, together with those from the Shihōin family, condoned the trial by the Central 46.

However, as the head of the Kuchiki family, after the Tsunayo family had completely fallen, Kuchiki Byakuya admitted that he did have some selfish motives.

He wanted to see the Kuchiki family flourish under his leadership.

While it's true that Byakuya Kuchiki wouldn't be inclined to initiate such or such things.

But if he's just asked to turn a blind eye to the existing results, he can do that.

The appearance of Shimaoshi proves that everything is developing in the direction they had envisioned.

So next, as long as the Gotei 13 can stop Yushima Ouko and his men from rescuing Nemuru on this Twin Peaks Hill.

No, it doesn't even matter whether Yuu and the others save Yinmeng now.

The reason is already in hand.

All that's left is to slaughter!

Kuchiki Byakuya gently closed his eyes, as if reminiscing about the days he had worked with Higashino Shuichi. That period was short, but it was truly wonderful.

Because Higashino Shuichi had considered everything for him, unlike now, when he still needed to do things himself.

But it didn't matter anymore; Byakuya Kuchiki quickly opened his eyes again.

"Lieutenant of the 12th Division, Yujima Osh, I hope you understand what you just did. Your actions are considered a betrayal of the entire Soul Society."

Land obediently and await judgment; that's your best option right now.

Out of self-restraint as the head of one of the four great noble families, Byakuya Kuchiki did not take the action of directly retaliating.

Instead, he symbolically "persuaded" Yushima Oshi to lay down his weapons and surrender voluntarily.

But everyone knows that such words are just nonsense.

"Kuchiki Byakuya, is that right?"
You don't actually think you can stop me, do you?

Since there was practically no way out, when Oshima spoke, he showed absolutely no respect.

But that's fine too, since Yujima Oshu has looked down on these captains who are usually so high and mighty for a long time.

None of them have much ability, yet they manage to occupy the captain's position.

What a damned system! He, Ou Xu, had had enough of it long ago!

Kuchiki Byakuya's reply to Yujima Ouko was only four words.
"Are you strong?"

Then came the instantaneous darkness between heaven and earth, a strange phenomenon caused by extremely high-density spiritual pressure sinking into the ground.

Byakuya Kuchiki unleashed the Bankai of his Zanpakuto.

Unlike other captains who use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, this approach is different.

Byakuya Kuchiki has always liked to go all out.

Regardless of who the opponent is, the initial release is just a token gesture; if it really comes down to a fight, the Bankai will be used.

Those were enormous blades rising in swathes. When they reached their highest point, the blades shattered on their own, turning into countless petals that danced in the air.

This is similar to Byakuya Kuchiki's Zanpakuto Shikai form, only the number is dozens of times greater.

So many that even if Yujima Oshiki just stood still without moving, his body was constantly being cut by the "petals" formed by the Senbonzakura.

"Captain Kuchiki has gotten stronger again."

Seeing Byakuya Kuchiki giving his all, Soi Fon below couldn't help but sigh.

It's worth noting that the last time Byakuya Kuchiki used his Bankai and was seen by Soi Fon was decades ago, during the battle when Shuichi Higashino returned to Soul Society.

Soi Fon clearly remembers that the number of petals formed by Byakuya Kuchiki's Zanpakuto Bankai back then was far less than it is today.

"No matter how strong he is, he can't possibly be a match for that guy, Yujima Oshi. Kuchiki Byakuya probably doesn't even know what kind of monster he's facing."

Yoruichi Shihouin stood right next to Soi Fon, revealing herself openly as she spoke.

"Lord Yoruichi, you're like this."

Soi Fon was stunned. Yoruichi was just standing right next to her. Wasn't he worried about being discovered by the other Shinigami of the Gotei 13?
You should know that, theoretically, all the captains of the Gotei 13 should be gathered here on Twin Phantom Hill right now.

Oh, but for now we might have to exclude the two who were sent away by Yoruichi to the Central 46th Chamber: the 8th Division Captain Kyoraku Shunsui and the 13th Division Captain Ukitake Jushiro, as well as the 9th Division Captain Tōsen Kaname, who has already been killed.

"It's okay, they're busy."

Yoruichi Shihouin shook his head at Soi Fon, indicating that it was alright.

Soi Fon was a little confused at first, but she soon found out why.

Because within this small Shuangji Hill, several battlefields were simultaneously erupting. Komamura Sajin, the captain of the 7th Division, who had been lying in ambush there, stopped the former 9th Division captain, Rokugura Kensei, from rushing in;

Originally, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of the 12th Division, just wanted to find a corner to hang out with, but he ran into Rojuro Otori, the former captain of the 3rd Division, who was not very enthusiastic about the matter either. The two pretended to fight as they approached the outer edge of Sogyoku Hill.

Meanwhile, the Quincy who had suddenly entered Soul Society and was not stopped for some reason, led by Matsumoto Rangiku, the lieutenant of the 10th Division, also arrived at the bustling Sōkyō Hill. The only free person, the 4th Division captain Retsu Unohana, showed little interest in intercepting Matsumoto Rangiku.

Wait, why did she say "the only one"?

Soi Fon discovered the key point.

Besides Kyoraku Shunsui of the 8th Division, Ukitake Jushiro of the 12th Division, and Tosen Kaname of the 9th Division, where are the captains of the other divisions?

They agreed to guard the Hill of Twin Phantoms together, but in the end, only she, the captain of the Sixth Division Byakuya Kuchiki, and the captain of the Seventh Division Sajin Komamura were able to arrive on time.
No, if it were a civil war between Shinigami, Soi Fon could choose to stand by and watch with Yoruichi's intervention, but Quincy cannot.

If no other captain arrives
Soi Fon didn't hesitate for long and used Shunpo to appear in front of Matsumoto Rangiku and Higashino Shuichi.

Stop!
This is not a place for you!

Soi Fon shouted to stop him.

Since she had never seen the Quincy played by Shuichi Higashino in battle, Soi Fon's impression of Takuya Kabuto as a Quincy remained the most basic Quincy image.

In other words, they are characters who can be easily tormented by death.

Therefore, Soi Fon's attention was always focused on Matsumoto Rangiku, and what she said was mainly for Matsumoto Rangiku to hear.

The situation at Sogyoku Hill is already chaotic enough, and Soi Fon doesn't want Matsumoto Rangiku to come and make things even more chaotic.

But clearly, Matsumoto Rangiku wouldn't appreciate it.

"We'll stop if you stop executing Yinmeng and hand her over to us!"

Matsumoto Rangiku said with a smile.

She knew that Soi Fon didn't know that the person in front of her, Kabuto Takuya, was actually Higashino Shuichi, so she said that on purpose to provoke Soi Fon into attacking them, and then see how Shuichi would treat Soi Fon.

Soi Fon fell for the trap as expected.

She thought that "we" in Matsumoto Rangiku's words referred to Yujima Ouko and the others, but in fact, Matsumoto Rangiku's "we" referred to herself and Higashino Shuichi.

Soi Fon failed to grasp the only flaw in Matsumoto Rangiku's words, and instead became certain of her idea.

Matsumoto Rangiku and the others are here today to save Nemuru!

Soi Fon didn't actually want to see Nemuru publicly executed either.

However, the only way that Soi Fon could think of and accept was to report Yoruichi's discovery to Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and then have the Captain-Commander order them to stop the execution of Nemuru.

Instead of resorting to violence like Matsumoto Rangiku and the others, they stormed the execution ground directly.

This was something that Soi Fon, as the captain of the second division, could not accept.

"I have already reported the situation here to the Captain-Commander through Hell Butterfly. The specific handling method will depend on the Captain-Commander's reply. Until then, I will not allow any of you to approach the execution platform!"

Soi Fon drew her Zanpakuto and then completed its Shikai right in front of Matsumoto Rangiku.

A powerful spiritual pressure swirled around Soi Fon's body, representing her determination.

"What if"

Matsumoto Rangiku was always eager for a good show; she knew that if it were Soi Fon, Shuichi would definitely intervene personally.

However, before she could utter her words of encouragement, she saw Higashino Shuichi step forward, blocking her path, and say in a deep voice,

"Judging from your attire, you seem to be a team leader?"
"If you want me to stop, it's actually very simple: beat me and I'll leave; lose and you'll have to get out of my way!"

"You, a Quincy, have quite the nerve!"

Soi Fon finally sensed something was amiss, because the Quincy in front of her seemed to be of a higher status than Matsumoto Rangiku.

Otherwise, why would Matsumoto Rangiku be so willing to let this Quincy interrupt her?
But what is Matsumoto Rangiku's identity?

That's the kind of person who dares to scold Kisaragi Shusuke to his face and grab Yushima Ouko's ear in front of passersby!

However, now is not the time for Soi Fon to think about these issues.

It's already the limit that her little brain can realize this.

After Shuichi Higashino unleashed a Sacred Arrow at Soi Fon without warning, Soi Fon focused all her attention on the battle.

The more Soi Fon fought, the more frightened she became.

Because the Quincy in front of her was far stronger than she had imagined.

Her Shikai, Two-Hit Kill, Bankai, One-Hit Kill, Kido, Shunpo, Hakuda.
Everything was easily cracked.

The Quincy opposite her seemed to have seen through all her moves and fighting habits. No matter from which angle she attacked, he could defend against her perfectly.

Those holy arrows of destruction, like ghosts, always manage to appear where they need to be.

Soi Fon even had the illusion that the Quincy opposite her was toying with her.

Otherwise, why would the opponent's Holy Arrow always block her attack precisely and then disappear?

"Does that mean that's the only move we can use?"

Soi Fon thought through gritted teeth.

She learned the secret technique "Instantaneous Roar" from Yoruichi, but she has never used it publicly in front of outsiders since she mastered it. She only used it once in her battle with Yoruichi Shihouin.

Soi Fon originally intended to save her second chance for Shuichi Higashino.

She should have used it when Higashino Shuichi returned to Soul Society last time.

But she hesitated that time because deep down she hoped that Higashino Shuichi would succeed.

However, Soi Fon used a reconnaissance binding spell, and Shokuto looked around and found that, as expected, no other captains came to support them.

The captain of the Fourth Division, Retsu Unohana, was still leisurely watching the show.

Soi Fon knew she could only rely on herself.

"Instant Roar - Rending Wind!"

For the first time, Soi Fon used her Shunko in front of others!
The powerful demonic energy clung to her limbs, and green winds swirled around her body.

At this moment, her spiritual pressure even surged.

She'll teach that Quincy a lesson!

Soi Fon remained so certain.

Then there is no more then.

Her battle with the Quincy opposite her was forced to stop.

Because Yinmeng, who was on the execution platform, was stabbed in the body before the time for public execution!
