Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 161 Future Vision

As a born ambitious man and ruler, Aizen immediately recognized Kagaya Ubuyashiki's special qualities.

In this world, leaders usually rely on the deterrence of power or the constraints of institutions.

But what Yao-jae exudes is a highly infectious charm.

This charisma allowed him to speak words that resonated with Aizen, who had cultivated for many years, even though he was just an ordinary soul.

This is abnormal in itself.

A thousand years ago, the current rulers of Soul Society carried out a brutal and inhumane murder against the creator of this world.

To prevent the founder from rising from the dead, they even severed his limbs, dug out his internal organs, and shredded them, scattering them throughout the three realms.

This founder is known as the "Spirit King," and those scattered throughout the world are collectively called the Spirit King's fragments.

But those who committed the atrocities never expected this.

The fragments of the Spirit King do not completely disappear, but reside within the bodies of various life forms, endowing their owners with special powers through various coincidences.

Complete Realization Technique.

It was a peculiar power created by fusing human souls with ethereal souls...

"I've heard from the children about your past lives, and I feel deeply sorry for them, but I'm also very fortunate that Soul Society has given you all a new beginning," he said with a smile.

Kagaya looked directly at Aizen with his clear eyes and replied, "Yes, having bid farewell to the responsibilities and curses of the past, we are now just ordinary parents and ordinary neighbors."

"The happiness of being able to watch your child grow up is more precious than any power."

Dinner began in this extremely harmonious atmosphere.

On the table were vegetables that Xingming had personally grown, along with some simple congee and side dishes.

Shinobu Kocho quietly recounted some interesting anecdotes about the Soul Society, while Hina and Hinata occasionally chimed in, eliciting bursts of laughter from everyone.

Aizen's performance was absolutely flawless.

He was not only erudite and knowledgeable, able to grasp every literary or philosophical metaphor of Kagaya, but also showed great sympathy for the lower classes of Rukongai.

This further increased the Ubuyashiki family's positive feelings towards him.

During the meal, Aizen gazed at Kagaya's clear eyes with a smile.

Are these the eyes that "have a vision of the future"...?

During their casual conversation, Aizen specifically asked what they did in their previous lives and how they ended up raising so many samurai.

Although Kagaya himself couldn't explain it, the Ubuyashiki family seemed to possess some kind of ability to foresee the future, which made their investment activities very successful, greatly arousing Aizen's interest.

Could it be some kind of Fullbring technique?

"Hisaka's spiritual power is quite special. The instructor who trained her in swordsmanship said that she seems to be able to predict the trajectory of her opponent's attacks." Aizen put down his rice bowl and sighed softly, "Is this also due to the special talent of the Ubuyashiki family?"

That's amazing.

"The current Seireitei is too closed and backward. It would be such a waste if such excellent souls as you were not able to enter the Seireitei and give full play to your talents."

Shinobu's eyes lit up: "Captain Aizen, are you saying that the Clan Head and the others also have a chance to enter the Soul Society?"

"If Mr. Ubuyashiki is willing," Aizen said, looking at Kagaya. "With Mr. Kagaya's magnanimity and experience, even if he doesn't participate in battles, he can work as a staff member in the Spirit Arts Academy or the clerical department. If you need, I can act as your guarantor."

This is an immense temptation; for ordinary Rukongai residents, it's practically a stairway to heaven.

However, Kagaya gently shook his head.

"We appreciate Lord Aizen's kindness," Kagaya's voice was calm and firm. "But after that fire... fame, status, even power, those things are no longer important to me now."

"Right now, I just want to live a normal life, like doing accounting for my neighbors and making some small handicrafts. That would be pretty good."

A deep, dark light flashed in Aizen's eyes.

A ruler who does not seek power?

This is truly the most boring and trickiest type.

But his smile softened even more: "Mr. Ubuyashiki's integrity is admirable... In that case, I will not insist."

"However, if any of you change your minds in the future, please be sure to inform the Sixth Seat of the Butterfly Division. My doors will always be open to you in the Fifth Division."

After dinner, Aizen left the courtyard with Shinobu Kocho seeing him off.

As he reached the street corner, Aizen stopped and looked back at the small house that was faintly lit in the night.

"The Sixth Seat of the Butterfly Clan, your family members are indeed the most special people I have ever met." Aizen's voice sounded somewhat ethereal in the night wind.

"Yes, they are the treasures I most want to protect," Shinobu Kocho said sincerely.

"Protect them..." Aizen repeated the word softly, then revealed his signature gentle smile once more: "Go, go back to them. The days ahead may be busier than you imagine."

Shinobu Kocho didn't think much of it; she just felt that Captain Aizen was reminding her of the strange spiritual pressure happening in various places that had been causing quite a stir lately.

She bowed again in farewell, then turned and headed towards her warm home.

Until Shinobu Kocho's figure completely disappeared.

Aizen Sousuke stood in the darkness, his gentle expression completely gone.

Lost in thought, he strolled along until he finally arrived at the Fifth Division's underground laboratory later that evening.

Sitting at the table, there was a drawing covered with intricate lines.

At the very center of the drawing, besides the names of the seventy-eight birds, was written "Ubuyashiki Kagaya".

He pulled out a spiritual pressure recorder from his pocket, on which were flashing spiritual pressure data of Kagaya Ubuyashiki and Gyomei Himejima.

"The words you speak can affect my spiritual pressure... and grant me a brief ability to glimpse the future..."

'

Aizen adjusted his glasses, revealing terrifyingly deep eyes behind the lenses: "Could it be that fragments of the Soul King could even have wandered into another world? That's impossible..."

"Or is it because they crossed into another world that their souls underwent a change..."

"But they weren't attacked by Hollows... so why would they have abilities similar to Fullbring...?"

He didn't understand, but he was happy.

The last time I was this happy was when I extracted the [Spirit King's Fingertip] from the body of the current 10th Division Lieutenant, Matsumoto Rangiku, and began conducting the Hogyoku experiment.

"If it could be combined with the Hogyoku prototype..."

An excited smile curved his lips.

And in the courtyard of Ubuyashiki.

Yaozai sat on the edge of the corridor, looking at the lonely moon in the sky.

Lady Amane walked over and draped an outer garment over his shoulders: "Yaoya, what do you think of Captain Aizen?"

'

Yaozai remained silent for a long time before speaking softly: "He is very polite, knowledgeable, gentle...it's almost impossible to find any flaws."

"Isn't that great?"

"No... Heavenly Sound..."

Kagaya frowned slightly, wiping the blood from the corner of his eye: "My vision... I can't see his future..."
