Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 281 Seireitei's Two Red-Honored Staff

"I understand, Aizen-sensei."

"Go." Aizen straightened up and waved his hand. "Go back to the Fourth Division, and act like nothing happened."

"Proceed according to plan."

"yes!"

Nika bowed deeply to Aizen, then turned away.

Like a light butterfly, it quickly disappeared into the shadows above the wall.

The courtyard returned to silence.

Aizen picked up the scissors again and looked at the white plum tree that had been pruned to near perfection.

"As long as they're not enemies..."

He chuckled softly and tightened his fingers slightly.

Click.

On the main trunk of the white plum tree, a blooming flower was ruthlessly cut off.

"What an innocent child."

"When change comes, everyone will be involved; there is no third party who can remain uninvolved."

"For the birth of a new world... all obstacles can be cut down."

A cold glint was reflected from the blue-dyed lenses.

"Shinobu Kocho...the woman who can heal Hollowfication..."

'

"The Ubuyashiki family's power isn't a Fullbring technique, but it is indeed a real otherworldly force..."

, 7

"And there's still number seventy-eight who hasn't returned..."

""

"If they cannot be used by me, then they can only become the foundation for building a new world."

He turned around and looked at the figure slowly walking out behind him.

Gin Ichimaru walked over with a smile, and judging from the spiritual dust on his body, he had just returned through the interdimensional gate.

He was carrying a transparent glass jar filled with an unidentified liquid.

Inside the jar, several strange, wriggling worms could be clearly seen.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Aizen actually smiled at the jar and said, "You've come. It's been a long time."

"Have you had fun in Hueco Mundo all these years?"

The worms did not react at first.

Only after a long while did a faint voice emerge from the mouth of a worm: "Hehehe... What's with all this talk about being happy or unhappy? Anyway, I can't escape..."

The other person's voice was sinister: "Why did you remember me, Aizen? Are you finally deciding to grant me a body?"

Aizen smiled, took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with the corner of his clothes, and said in a deep voice, "No... I just wanted to tell you."

"The thing that breaks boundaries is almost complete."

"Prepare our route."

Hidden Spirit Court, deep in the streets and alleys.

Kurosaki Ichigo, carrying the massive Zangetsu, is leading Inoue Orihime, Chad Yasutora, and Ishida Uryu through the intricate alleyways.

Although the inexplicable infighting in front of the White Path Gate just now helped them a lot, the eerie atmosphere still sends chills down their spines when they think about it now.

They ran for hours without stopping, afraid of getting involved in some other trouble.

"What just happened? Why did those Grim Reapers... suddenly start fighting amongst themselves?"

Ichigo stopped and leaned against the corner of the wall, panting heavily, his temples covered in sweat.

"I don't know." Ishida Uryu pushed up his glasses, his expression grave as he surveyed his surroundings warily. "But something feels off."

"Could it be... that someone is secretly helping us?" Inoue Orihime asked cautiously.

"Maybe." Ichigo shook his head. "Anyway, it's a good thing we managed to escape in the chaos. The most important thing now is to find where Rukia is being held."

"Over there."

A lazy voice suddenly came from above.

Everyone looked up abruptly and saw a black cat perched on the wall, looking at them with mocking golden eyes.

"Yoruichi-san?!" Ichigo exclaimed in surprise, "Where have you been? It was complete chaos at the gate just now, we almost got surrounded and killed!"

"Idiot, keep your voice down."

Yoruichi nimbly leaped down from the wall, shook her fur, and said casually, "I just sang a lullaby to an overly energetic kid, and it took quite a bit of effort to get him to leave. Otherwise, do you think you could have shaken off the 10th Division's pursuit so easily?"

Ichigo was completely bewildered, having no idea what riddle the black cat was trying to utter.

Of course, he didn't know that the child Yoruichi was talking about was none other than the imposing Captain of the 10th Division, Toshiro Hitsugaya.

She had to use kind words and have a deep conversation with Toshiro before she was able to coax this cunning little brat away.

"Alright, enough chit-chat."

Yoruichi raised her paw and pointed to the towering, pure white giant tower in the distance.

"See that? That's the Penitentiary Palace. Little Rukia is imprisoned there."

Ichigo looked in that direction and could vaguely see flowing spiritual energy barriers around the white tower, clearly indicating that it was a heavily guarded place.

"Alright! Target confirmed!" Ichigo gripped Zangetsu tightly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: "Everyone, let's charge forward in one go!"

"Rescue Rukia!"

"oh!!"

Although the future is uncertain, with a clear goal and Yoruichi's return to the team, everyone's morale has obviously increased a lot.

However, momentum aside...

This is the Soul Society, after all, the headquarters of the Grim Reapers.

This level of unrest will not end just because it bypassed the Tenth Division.

Just as everyone was running wildly along the street, trying to shorten the distance to the Palace of Penitence.

A suffocatingly heavy spiritual pressure enveloped the entire street.

"etc!"

Yoruichi suddenly stopped, her fur standing on end, and her golden pupils contracted to pinpoints.

"This spiritual pressure... This troublesome fellow is here."

"What?" Ichigo hadn't even reacted yet.

The next second, several figures dressed in Shinigami uniforms slowly emerged from around the corner ahead, blocking their path.

This is completely different from the disciplined style of the 10th Division we encountered before.

These people exuded an aura of savagery, wildness, and even bloodlust.

On the right is a bald man with red eyeshadow around his eyes, holding a light-colored gun in his hand, and a warlike grin on his lips.

Beside him was a man with a strange hairstyle, meticulously groomed eyebrows, and an aura of narcissism.

And behind these two people.

A massive, chilling aura of killing intent was slowly approaching, like an ancient, ferocious beast pacing in the darkness.

"Hehehe... I'm so lucky."

The bald man's name is Madarame Ikkaku, and he is the third seat of the Eleventh Division.

He licked his lips and fixed his gaze on Chad, the most muscular of the men.

"I thought it was just some rats, but I didn't expect to encounter such sturdy prey... Hey, big guy, your fists look pretty hard!"

"Hmph, what an uncouth person who doesn't know how to appreciate beauty."

Ayase Gawa Yumichika, who was standing next to him, glanced at him with disdain, then turned his gaze to Ishida Uryu, a glint of admiration in his eyes.

"Hey, you bespectacled guy over there, your clothes are a bit outdated, but that shimmering sheen... it's kind of interesting."

"As a remnant of the Quincy, you are worthy to die beneath my beauty."

"The Eleventh Division..." Yoruichi's voice turned low: "We've run into a combat-specific team so quickly. It seems our luck isn't on our side."

"The Eleventh Division? Are they strong?" Ichigo asked.

"It's not a matter of strength..." Before Yoruichi could explain, an even more terrifying spiritual pressure pressed down on everyone's hearts like Mount Tai.

dong dong dong.

The heavy footsteps felt like each one was pounding on my heart.

A tall, god-like figure emerged from behind Ichigo and Yumichika.

He had a wild, demonic hairstyle with bells hanging from the ends.

A hideous scar ran across his face, and he wore a black eyepatch over his right eye.

What is most undeniable is the almost tangible, insane killing intent emanating from him.

Kenpachi Zaraki, captain of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13.

"ha....

""

Kenpachi grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

That was the pure and fanatical fighting smile he only showed when he saw the ultimate prey.

"Found him... the one who caused such a commotion at the White Path Gate... the Traveler."
