Bleach: From Rugum to Thousand-Year Captain

"You all know how bad the reputation of the Stealth Force is, right? And Shikatori Hakunsai is the black glove of the Stealth Force, specializing in doing cruel things."

"After the incident where the first 7th Division Captain, Takeshi Nobu, drew his sword, Shikato Hakunsai was also implicated."

"Many noble families dare not challenge the Secret Service, but they have no worries about dealing with this guy, Shikato Hakunsai, who has no backing."

"If we get rid of Shikatori Hakunsai, the discomfort of being monitored by the Secret Service will be reduced by half. After all, nobody wants to live under someone else's watchful eye and have no privacy. This is the first reason why Captain Shikatori disappeared."

"The second reason is that after the Kashima incident, some people discovered that Shikatori Hakunsai was suspected to be a member of the Kashima family. Shikatori Hakunsai should be called Kashima Hakunsai. Some nobles coveted the sacred artifacts of Kashima Shrine and joined forces to attack Shikatori Hakunsai."

Hummingbird nodded, agreeing with Ryuhei Ise's statement.

"Captain Shihōin told me that investigating the disappearance of the first Eighth Division Captain is a long-term task, and I also pay close attention to my subordinates' tasks and ask them questions from time to time."

"This is also what I wanted to say. Even if we need to hold Lu Qubaiyunzhai accountable and arrest him, it must be done by the Covert Force, and even by Captain Shifengyuan."

The Second Division of Shihōin has a deep cooperative relationship with the Eighth Division, which includes Shikatori Hakunsai. Shikatori Hakunsai's acts of killing are indeed terrifying.

However, the reason for this was that what Lu Qu Bayunzhai did was not particularly illegal.

Dong Lu Qu Ba Yun Zhai was slapping the face of the secret police.

Kuchiki Ginryu never imagined that Shikito Hakunsai had such a complex network of relationships.

Moreover, it involves the Shihōin family. If that's the case, Kuchiki Ginryō really can't step in to deal with Shikatori Hakunsai.

Kuchiki Ginryu couldn't help but recall the Great Spirit Book of Blood Alliance that her father had shown her, which detailed the collaboration between the Kuchiki family, the Shihōin family, and Tengetsu Susōsai.

If a decision is not made well now, it could turn into a confrontation between the Shihouin family and the Kuchiki family, which is something neither of them wants to see.

No wonder Captain-Commander Yamamoto was hinting at something; it seems this is the truth of the matter.

What exactly is Shihōin's attitude towards Shikatori Hakunsai?

Which noble families attacked Shikato Hakunsai? Were they secretly dissatisfied with the Shihōin and Kuchiki families, or even the Five Great Families' oppression of the Seireitei?

It is a fact that several members of the Sixth Division who had already died were killed by Shikato Hakunsai. How will Kuchiki Ginrin explain this afterwards?

Finally, what exactly was the purpose of Shikatori Hakunsai's sudden emergence?

What will Captain-Commander Yamamoto's attitude be?

Countless questions flooded Kuchiki Ginryu's mind, making him feel extremely agitated.

Now, Kuchiki Ginryu can only place her hopes on Captain Unohana.

Unohana remained expressionless, her slightly lowered eyes glancing towards Shikato Hakunsai.

"The so-called Kenpachi no longer exists. I am Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division. Don't get the facts wrong."

"Really? Since you don't like that name, then I won't mention it."

Facing the first Kenpachi, Shikatori Hakunsai dared not be too pretentious.

Any unnecessary movement would be a fatal flaw, and the first captain was fully aware of this.

"Put away your sword, Shikatori. I did not come here to fight you, and I will not even draw my sword. You did not hide your presence, so Captain-Commander Yamamoto already knew about your appearance."

"You disappeared for over a decade and then reappeared. What is your purpose?"

Lu Qubaiyunzhai sneered and looked around at everyone before speaking.

"I don't care at all why you, Unohana, gave up the name of Kenpachi to become the medical captain."

"I just want an explanation. I want to ask our Captain-Commander Yamamoto."

"What are we team leaders in his eyes? Are we just trash that he can use and discard at any time?"

......

Chapter 109 It's gotten chaotic, let's keep calling for more people (Please recommend and add to your favorites)

Unohana Retsu remained silent for a moment before speaking softly, "Captain-Commander Yamamoto is not someone you can speak ill of like Shikatori Hakunsai. Take my advice. Leave, leave Seireitei. There are plenty of places in this world where you can find refuge."

"Are you pitying me? The most heinous villain in Soul Society, unprecedented in history, actually feels pity? Don't make me laugh!"

Shikatori Hakunsai raised his Eight-Sword Blade and aimed it at Unohana Retsu, his aura beginning to surge forth.

Her black eyes gleamed with white light, reflecting off her large round glasses, and her long ponytail swayed like a python.

"A true warrior is one who must die on the battlefield. To perish without a trace is no different from being a deserter. Unohana, if you still acknowledge that we were once comrades-in-arms, then let's fight now."

"Either you kill me, or I kill you!"

"Everyone says you're the most valiant and skilled Kenpachi, the strongest female Shinigami captain. Saito-chan and I are secretly quite unconvinced!"

Before he could finish speaking, Shikatori Hakuunzai vanished from his spot in a flash, delivering a heavy blow to Unohana's forehead!

However, Retsu Unohana did not draw her Zanpakuto, Nikushizuki. Instead, she used Shunpo to leap backward, directly dodging Hakunsai Shikatori's attack.

"I will not fight you, no matter what you say."

"Then you should just die!!! I'll kill you!"

She chased him, and he fled from her, turning their chase into a contest of lightning-fast movements.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Kuchiki Ginryu frowned.

"So what exactly does Captain-Commander Yamamoto mean? How should we deal with Shikatori Hagensai? You know, she's a captain-level Shinigami who can use Bankai!"

"The most urgent task is to find the one who tied the knot. Summon Captain Shihouin, or send Captain Shikatori to the First Division to confront Captain-Commander Yamamoto, or perhaps..."

Ise Ryuhei dared not say he could defeat Shikatori Hakunsai; even Kuchiki Ginrei was at a disadvantage against the opponent's power.

This prison squad leader, who wasn't particularly good at fighting to the death, was surprisingly skilled at interrogation.

Using a knife to fight won't work; when you encounter a tough opponent, you can only resort to Bankai and fight to the death.

"What should we do? It seems Captain Unohana won't draw her sword. Vice-Captain Hachi, are you able to contact Captain Shihouin right now?"

"This... Captain Shihōin, Captain Tengetsu, and Captain Kyōraku are on a mission in the 80th district of North Rukongai, which is more than 60 districts away from here. Even if I wanted to do that, I couldn't."

Hummingbird and Naomi Iwase could only look at each other helplessly as they watched the battle unfold.

"Captain! You can't be hurt!"

Iwabuchi Ichiki was usually taken care of by Captain Unohana. He didn't care what Captain Unohana was like in the past, he just hoped that the captain wouldn't get hurt.

However, Iwabuchi Ichiki's worries were unnecessary; neither Shikatori Hakunsai nor Unohana Retsu made any real moves.

This level of combat, in the eyes of the original captains, could only be considered a slow warm-up.

Hummingbird had an idea; "Captain Kuchiki, if you use the Scratching Sparrow and the Heavenly Soaring Loop here, could you contact Captain Shihōin?"

"I've never tried such a long distance before, and I also have to chant twice. This level of skill... I'll only know if I can do it by trying."

"It's alright, Captain Kuchiki. Do your best. I'll assist you in searching for Captain Shihouin's spiritual pressure. You can just use Tenten Kōra."

"Oh? A double chanting combination? Not a bad idea. It seems Captain Ise can also do double chanting. You really can't judge a book by its cover!"

"Captain Kuchiki, enough talk. If you agree, let's begin!"

"I have no problem with what I said!"

Ryuhei Ise nodded, took a step forward facing north, and drew a circle on the ground.

"The heart of the south, the eyes of the north, the fingertips of the west, the toes of the east, gather with the wind and scatter with the rain, the fifty-eight toe-slapping techniques of the Binding Path to chase sparrows!"

Ryuhei Ise fully chanted the binding spell, and his spiritual pressure began to surge rapidly.

However, his face was rather pale, clearly indicating that he was under a great physical burden.

Furthermore, the use of the Binding Technique at full power from an extremely long distance put a lot of pressure on Ryuhei Ise.

Kuchiki Ginryu dared not stand still and immediately began to chant in full, following the direction in which Ise Ryuhei's binding spell had scattered.

"Black and White Luo, Twenty-two Bridges, Sixty-six Crowns, Footprints, Distant Thunder, Peaks, Return to Earth, Night Ambush, Sea of ​​Clouds, Azure Queue, Let Taiyuan be painted and soar straight to the sky!"

"Binding Spell Seventy-Seven Heavenly Void-Rising Demon!!!"

Guided by the bloodstains on her right hand, Kuchiki Ginrin drew square lines on the skin directly below her arms.

Kuchiki Ginryu's spiritual vision continued to trace Ise Ryuhei, and the two's binding spells began to intertwine, forming an independent dual chant.

This requires superb ghost-path abilities and spiritual power control; if you deviate even slightly, you'll be completely disoriented even a hundred kilometers away.

Fortunately, both of them were quite skilled in the art of demonic arts, and although they made some minor mistakes on their first collaboration.

However, Kuchiki Ginryo immediately adjusted his state and continued to follow, with the spiritual energy channels moving northward one after the other.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bee Bird hurriedly called out to persuade Deer Qu Bayunzhai.

"Captain Shikatori, Captain Kuchiki and Captain Ise are now doing their best to inform Captain Shihōin that he is coming."

"I have heard about your situation. I'm sure Captain Shifengyuan can give you an explanation now that he's here."

"As for Captain-Commander Yamamoto's volatile temper, going head-to-head with him would only make things worse."

"Please stop for now, Captain Shikatori!!!"

The bee-bird roared loudly, as if afraid that Lu Qu Bayunzhai wouldn't hear it.

Clearly, calling on Chiaki Shihouin is an effective tactic, and it is currently the optimal solution.

It wasn't that Shikatori Hakunsai was intimidated by Unohana; rather, Unohana had absolutely no will to fight.

There's no point in continuing to entangle with Unohana, and cutting her down like this won't bring any sense of accomplishment.

"Shihouin Chiaki, huh? Very well, let's see what kind of explanation he'll give here."

"Listen to his explanation of how he betrayed his mother back then, just like Yamamoto did!"

Having said that, Rokuto Hakunsai stopped his pursuit.

Unohana landed gently and steadily, standing in front of Kuchiki Ginrei and the others to protect them.

There was no romantic entanglement between Shikatori Hakunsai and Shihōin Chiaki, or rather, the first captains were all incredibly despicable murderers.

When it comes to feelings, they are something that must be discarded before making a decisive move.

Captains Chiaki Shihōin and Hakunsai Shikatori are like twins, one a white glove and the other a black glove, but ultimately they are just colleagues.

Everyone could see that even though Shikato Hakunsai didn't work for the Shihōin family...

However, due to his close relationship with Shihōin, when the nobles attacked Shihōin Hakuunsai, Shihōin Chiaki did not stand up for Shihōin on behalf of Shihōin.

This made Shikatori Hakunsai feel confused and betrayed, which is why he 'defected' from Seireitei.
