I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

However, he also had to show his preference for a particular person.

Because that person has what he needs.

However, none of the three people present took Kiriko's words to heart.

"Hahaha, he's my teacher after all..."

The greatsword in his hand transformed into a cross necklace, which Ginjo Kugo put around his neck: "Let's wait and see what the teacher finds out."

"If the teacher tries to attack me again next time, I will give the teacher a big surprise."

At this point, Ginjo Kugo revealed a confident expression.

After recognizing Erin-sensei through Yukio's abilities, Ginjo Kūgo did not use his own Zanpakuto, but rather the Fullbring he had obtained from those Fullbringers before that battle.

On one hand, Ginjo Kugo wanted to feign weakness and didn't want to reveal his true intentions to his teacher.

On the other hand, Ginjo Kūgo also wanted to see what Erin-sensei's purpose was in coming.

If Erin-sensei is on the side of the Grim Reaper, then Ginjo Kūgo will not show mercy just because Erin-sensei was the teacher who led him down the path of death.

Judging from the current situation, Teacher Ailin's performance was acceptable and did not disappoint him.

Unfortunately, I'm destined to disappoint Professor Erin...

Substitute Shinigami? Where is the leader of the Fullbringer organization, Kaori?

The Grim Reaper's training had reached its limit, and Fullbring...

Once certain conditions are met, all the Fullbring power of those Fullbringers will become their own!

The world is not peaceful.

Because of their spiritual pressure, Fullbringers are often attacked by Hollows. Even if they manage to escape the Hollows' attacks, the relatives of those who died because of them will regard them as "ominous" and banish them.

Therefore, most Fullbringers do not have a happy childhood. When they lose everything, the power of "love" will erupt, making them realize their own power.

As a result, many people believe that this power of theirs is an ominous power, and they want to abandon it, become ordinary people, and live ordinary lives.

Coincidentally, Ginjo, who possesses Hollow, Shinigami power, and Fullbring power within him, is able to absorb the Fullbring power of other Fullbringers...

During this time, through Yukio's "money power," they have already made contact with some Fullbring users...

Thinking of this, Ginjou Kugo's already cheerful and sunny face beamed with an even brighter smile.

……

In Unlimited Blade Works, Erin tosses a necklace of crosses in her hand.

If Ginjou could see it, he would be shocked to discover that the necklace in Erin's hand was, if not completely similar to, exactly the same as the necklace around his neck.

"Fullbringer..."

"Carefully sensing the power within this necklace," Erin murmured.

Compared to the power of the Grim Reaper, Erin felt that the power of Fullbring was closer to the "power of the Soul King."

Or rather, the power of Fullbring is inherently an incomplete version of the "Soul King's power".

After all, the "Power of the Spirit King" is an "omnipotent power," a great power that can do anything.

Fullbring is the ability to "love," to draw upon the power of one's "deeply loved things" and use it for one's own purposes.

Each Fullbringer's abilities emerge and materialize when they need "love" the most, becoming the Fullbringer's power.

In a way, it's like the Fullbringers making a wish to the Spirit King's power, and then the "Spirit King's power" within them responding to them and fulfilling their "wishes".

However, due to the quantity and quality of the "Spirit King Power" within them, their "wishes" could not be fully fulfilled.

At the pinnacle of the Shinigami world is the "Soul King".

Naturally, if Erin wants to move forward, transforming the "Power of Death" within his body into the "Power of the Spirit King" is an essential step.

Compared to the "Soul King's Power," the Death God's Power is weaker in both strength and function.

Unfortunately, the Fullbring power contained in Ginjo Kūgo's necklace is still too weak.

Shaking his head, Erin waved his hand, and instantly the cross necklace transformed into a shallow sword, flying from his hand and embedding itself in a spot below the sword's mound.

"Michihane Aura..."

An image of a woman flashed through Erin's mind. If it was that person...

As the Soul King's "binding," Dohane Aura is the strongest Fullbringer. Her spiritual pressure far exceeds that of an average captain, almost reaching the "Shinigami limit."

Moreover, her skill in Hakuda (hand-to-hand combat) and Kido (demon arts) is comparable to Aizen's "Shinigami Limit" state.

If I could see Doyane Aura and replicate the Soul King's "Knot" from her...

"If I'm not mistaken, Tsunayoshi Tokinada's monitoring of Ginjo Kūgo wasn't done by accessing Ginjo Kūgo's records in the Technology Development Bureau, but through other means."

"This method might be the power of a certain Zanpakuto, or it could be directly allowing Michiha Ne Aura to monitor Ginjo Kūgo..."

"If we could lure Michiha Ne Aura out through Ginjo Kūgo, that would be wonderful..."

Having made up her mind, Erin stopped thinking about it and resumed her daily card-drawing activities.

Perhaps his luck had run out, because on this day, out of the thousands of Zanpakuto that Erin drew, only one Zanpakuto of the Seat Rank appeared.

"Beep beep beep, beep beep beep..."

The next day, Erin was awakened from his meditation by a ringing bell.

"Oh? Is it news from Captain Ukitake?"

Erin took out the communication device from his pocket and knew who was calling him.

"Hello? Captain Ukitake?"

"Captain Erin."

"I'm currently at the 12th Division's Technology Development Bureau. Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi said that none of the data within the Technology Development Bureau has been leaked."

"So, Ginjo Kūgo lied?"

"Not really, because I went through all the records of the Gotei 13 and found that these Shinigami do not belong to the same division."

"Before this, we had not received any applications from them to go to the mortal world..."

"In other words, besides us, there are other people monitoring Ginjo Kūgo."

On Seireitei's side, when Jushiro Ukitake saw the information on the dozen or so Shinigami in his hand, he also had his own guesses.

As the host of the Spirit King's right arm, he was able to see through the "divine divination" that Ginjou Kūgo possessed the potential to become a "Spirit King candidate".

If others discover the secret within Ginjo Kūgo and covet the power of the Spirit King, then it is indeed possible that they will set their sights on Ginjo Kūgo.

Now, two figures appeared in Jushiro Ukitake's mind.

Kisuke Urahara, former captain of the 12th Division.

The current captain of the 5th Division, Aizen Sousuke.

Jushiro Ukitake suspected that the person targeting him was likely one of these two.

After all, when the Central 46 found experimental records about Shinigami Hollowfication in Urahara Kisuke's experimental tower, Jushiro Ukitake knew that Urahara Kisuke had already touched the mystery of the "Soul King's power".

As for his suspicion of Aizen Sousuke, he learned about it from Kyoraku Shunsui.

Jushiro Ukitake and Shunsui Kyoraku have known each other since childhood, and both were students of Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, so they had a deep friendship.

Of course, there is an even deeper connection between the two.

That connection led Kyoraku Shunsui to regard Ukitake Jushiro as the object of his "protection".

Therefore, Kyoraku Shunsui would tell Ukitake Jushiro everything he learned and any news without reservation.

In a sense, in Kyoraku Shunsui's mind, Ukitake Jushiro was almost equivalent to Seireitei.

Aizen also began to delve into the "Hollowfication of Shinigami" aspect, and even achieved results no worse than Kisuke Urahara's.

For Jushiro Ukitake, his suspicions about Sosuke Aizen were stronger.

After all, Kisuke Urahara had already left Seireitei, and he didn't have many subordinates to monitor one person.

Aizen Sousuke is different. If Kyoraku Shunsui is not mistaken, all the Shinigami in Seireitei have been hypnotized by Aizen Sousuke's Zanpakuto, "Kyoka Suigetsu." In addition, there are many Shinigami who have secretly pledged allegiance to Aizen Sousuke. It would be too easy for him to monitor a human.

Moreover, before these Grim Reapers' true identities are discovered, no one knows when they applied to go to the mortal world.

Under Aizen's manipulation, if I hadn't investigated immediately, it would indeed have been possible to conceal the deaths of these Shinigami.

After all, when investigating the identities of these Grim Reapers, Kyoraku said that he felt a hidden force hindering his investigation.

The Eighth Division is an intelligence unit, full of true professionals.

Within Seireitei, the only units comparable to them in terms of intelligence are the Second Division's intelligence unit and the Twelfth Division's surveillance unit, which monitors the entire world.

Without the assistance of the 12th Division's surveillance unit, these deceased Shinigami would very likely have appeared on the casualty list of some future operation...

It’s scary to think about it.

"Captain Erin..."

Jushiro Ukitake took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Captain Erin, I suggest that before another group takes action against the Shinigami Substitute Ginjo Kūgo, we, the Seireitei, must kill the Shinigami Substitute Ginjo Kūgo to prevent him from posing a threat to the Seireitei."

"After killing Ginjo Kūgo, please remember to bring Ginjo Kūgo's body back to Soul Society, Captain Erin."

Erin was somewhat aware of Ukitake Jushiro's requirements.

He was worried that if Ginjou Kūgo fell into the hands of certain people, it would allow them to make a breakthrough in their research on the "Spirit King's Power," and then the Spirit King...

By bringing Ginjo Kūgo's body back to Soul Society, it seems that Ukitake Jūshūrō knew what the Soul King's will was pursuing.

Chapter 158 Instant Kill

Ginjou Kūgo is qualified to become a "Spirit King Candidate". If the Spirit King encounters any problems, certain methods can be used to make Ginjou Kūgo the new "Spirit King".

However, these current issues are beyond Erin's knowledge.

So he asked Ukitake Jushiro directly, "Captain Ukitake, since you've already found out that someone is framing Ginjo, why do you still want me to kill him?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just keep Yincheng alive and slowly expose the person behind him?"

"This……"

Ukitake Jushiro hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking: "Captain Erin, although we have found out that someone is framing Ginjo Kūgo, Ginjo Kūgo does not trust the Seireitei, which is also the reason why I want to execute Ginjo Kūgo."
