"Captain, it's almost time." Said Soi-Fong, who was in charge of the execution.

Yamamoto Genryusai nodded slightly and asked calmly, "So, does the sinner Kuchiki Rukia have any last words?"

"I've been wronged!" Rukia said loudly with a trembling voice, "I don't know anything..."

"The execution begins." Before she could finish, Yamamoto Genryusai interrupted, "Under our witnesses, the executioners will pierce Kuchiki Rukia's heart, her knot, and her soul sleep!"

As the order was given, several executioners on both sides of the execution platform immediately drew their Zanpakuto and stabbed them directly at Rukia's back, throat and spine.

Rukia was tied up and couldn't move at all, her face full of despair.

Swastika · Senbonzakura Kageyan!

Suddenly, a wave of pink cherry blossoms appeared. Although these petals looked like cherry blossoms, they were actually billions of tiny blades.

He carefully avoided Rukia's position and rushed towards all the Death Gods present.

229 Showdown

Boo hoo hoo.

Faced with this sudden, large-scale attack, the executioners who had been planning to execute Rukia had no choice but to halt their actions and quickly move away. The cherry blossoms did not pursue, but retreated again.

Swish.

The tall figure of Byakuya Kuchiki appeared in front of Rukia, wearing a snow-white kimono.

"Brother..." Rukia's face was full of shock, and her originally desperate eyes turned into shock.

"Kuchiki Byakuya, what do you mean by this?" Yamamoto Genryusai leaned on his cane and said calmly, "As the captain of the Gotei 13, have you forgotten your mission?"

"No." Kuchiki Byakuya said calmly with a blank expression, "So today I'm not here to take my sister away as captain, but as the eldest brother."

"Brother!" Rukia's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

In her impression, this elder brother always maintained a rigid and traditional image and always treated her indifferently. But today, he took such a great risk to save her? Why?

"Ridiculous!" Yamamoto Genryūsai shouted, raising his cane. The surface wood gradually dissipated, revealing the blade's true form. "Do you think I'll just sit back and do nothing if you say that?"

"Ah, ah." At this moment, Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly appeared in front of him and said with a smile: "Old man Shan is old, you can't get angry like this."

"That's right. Mr. Genryūsai should calm down." Ukitake Jushiro continued.

"You two!" Yamamoto Genryusai narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Are you trying to stop me?"

"Don't say that."

"We just want to find out the truth."

Shunsui and Ukitake answered one after another.

"The judgment of the Central Forty-sixth Chamber is the truth!" Yamamoto Genryūsai held the hilt of the sword with his right hand and said without hesitation: "No one can change this!" He drew the sword from its sheath and the sword light burst out.

Bang.

Chunshui and Fuzhu drew their swords at the same time, barely able to dissipate the force of the sword.

"Really? It has finally developed to this point." Ukitake sighed.

"Isn't this expected?" Chunshui pressed down the brim of his hat and said softly, "Old Shan, let's go to another place." Without waiting for the other party to answer, he left with Fuzhu in an instant.

"Hmph!" Yamamoto Genryusai snorted coldly and followed in an instant.

Things have come to this point. Rather than punishing Rukia, it is more important to teach his useless disciple a lesson.

"Lord Genryūsai!" Seeing this, Komamura Sajin also followed with a sword in hand.

Without the absolute suppression of the captain, Byakuya Kuchiki felt relieved and raised his hand to help his sister untie the restraints.

call out.

A white and tender fist suddenly came towards him, bringing with it a whistling wind.

Kuchiki Byakuya dodged the attack, his right hand slightly spread. A cherry-pink longsword quickly gathered in his palm. He slashed horizontally at his side.

Ding.

The long sword and the "Sparrow Bee" on Shattered Bee's middle finger collided, sparks flying.

"I can't believe that even the renowned Kuchiki would do such a thing." Soi-Fong's lips curled up in a mocking tone, "Have you already forgotten the honor of your noble family?"

"Precisely because you're a noble, you don't need things like glory to maintain your appearance." Baiya retorted expressionlessly.

"You bastard!" Soi Feng could of course hear that the other party was mocking her in return.

Although the Bee family was also aristocratic, they were lower-ranking nobles, dependent on the Shihouin family. Compared to the naturally noble Kuchiki family, they needed glory to maintain their appearance.

"Oh, this scene is really rare." Ichimaru Gin scratched his head and said with a bit of distress: "What should we do?"

"Now that things have come to this, let's transfer the prisoners first." Hitsugaya Toshiro breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go forward to take Rukia away.

However, unexpectedly, a thin figure with purple hair blocked his way. It was Dao Yu Aura.

"So you two are in the same group?" Seeing this, Ichimaru Gin was slightly stunned and turned his gaze to Tsunayashiro Tokinada. "This is really unexpected."

"What kind of gang?" Tsunayashiro Tokinada curled his lips and slowly drew the blade from his waist. "It's you, the Gotei 13, who are incompetent. You need to be punished." With a flash of his body, he slashed the long sword at Ichimaru Gin's head.

Clang.

The two blades collided with a crisp sound.

"That's a truly horrible crime." Ichimaru Gin raised his dagger and smiled, narrowing his eyes. "The masters of the Central 46th Office aren't going to execute us too, are they?"

It's chaos, it's all chaos.

The entire area around the execution platform was a chaotic battle. Colorful ghosts and sharp swords clashed with each other, and the sound of thunder continued to rise and fall.

Rukia, still at the execution platform, was completely stunned. The scene before her completely overturned her understanding. These high-ranking captain-level Shinigami were actually fighting a civil war over a humble adopted daughter of the Kuchiki family like her?

Isn't this a bit outrageous?

Puzzled!

At this moment, Kuchiki Ruki was extremely confused and puzzled. She didn't react until the people involved in the battle gradually walked away.

Snapped.

Suddenly, Rukia felt the restraints on her being released. Confused, she looked up, only to be greeted by a gentle, soft face. "Captain Unohana?"

"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged." Unohana Retsu touched her head and said softly.

In Uchiha Madara's plan, Rukia was the most innocent. Not only had she been wronged, but she was also probably terrified. But in order for the plan to proceed smoothly, she had no choice but to continue to be a tool.

Rukia was stunned, looking a little bewildered. "Captain Unohana, what on earth is going on..."

"So that's how it is. Captain Unohana is Captain Kuchiki and the others' true backup?" Before she could finish her words, Aizen, who had been keeping his troops inactive, suddenly spoke up, "You guys are really calculating."

"Ah, Captain Aizen is still playing dumb." Unohana Retsu looked up and turned his gaze towards Aizen. "You should be the one who is most happy to see this happen, right?"

"Oh? Captain Unohana, I don't quite understand what you mean." Aizen pushed his glasses up and said with a gentle smile, "Could you please explain it a little bit?"

Unohana Retsu's expression was calm, neither sad nor happy, as he said, "Do you want me to start from 110 years ago?"

230 Aizen's sudden realization

What happened in 110 years?

Rukia, standing behind Unohana Retsu, was confused, but she felt as if she had been involved in some incredible incident.

"Oh, you know everything after all." At this point, Aizen didn't seem to want to keep pretending, and the sunny smile on his face disappeared.

From the moment Tsunayashiro Tokinada showed up, he was already certain that he was on Unohana Retsu's side. So, it wasn't surprising that Unohana Retsu knew about the history of 110 years ago.

But he was still a little curious.

Why would someone like Tsunayashiro Tokinada cooperate with Unohana Retsu? Would someone who doesn't hesitate to do evil, no matter how small, also do good things?

Of course, Aizen didn't believe it. There must be some key point he didn't understand. But it didn't matter. He had already made all the necessary preparations.

As long as he gets Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku, there will be no one in the entire Soul Society who can stop him.

"Aizen, the treacherous sinner, should I call you that now?" Unohana Retsu pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and the slightly curved long sword was unsheathed.

"Alas. You're wrong, Captain Unohana." Aizen tilted his head and chuckled, "It was you who openly released the prisoner Rukia Kuchiki."

call out.

Unohana Retsu didn't waste any more words with him. He flashed and slashed the cold blade straight at Aizen's right shoulder.

boom.

A blue-green transparent shield appeared out of thin air, blocking Unohana Retsu's slash. It was Aizen's million-shield, and Unohana Retsu's sword shattered at least hundreds of thousands of them, but still failed to break through the defense.

Swish.

With a flash of cold light, Aizen also drew his own Zanpakutō and faced Unohana Retsu. The blade swung from left to right, leaving a streak of silver light in the air.

Unohana Retsu did not dodge or evade. As if he had sensed something, he raised his sword to the right, and the tip of the sword pierced Aizen's heart.

boom.

The blade was still blocked by a cyan shield, unable to advance any further. However, Aizen frowned slightly, a puzzled expression on his face.

His blade was clearly the first to strike, but Unohana Retsu's sword reached the target faster than him, which was simply bizarre. If he hadn't had the Collapse Jade to protect him, he would have been injured by this blow.

Is it the difference in sword drawing speed?

Aizen didn't think so. While Unohana Retsu's swordsmanship was certainly fast, it wasn't so fast that he couldn't handle it. Seriously, was it the sword technique that was causing the problem?

Yes, it’s sword moves.

After a few more exchanges of swords, Aizen took the initiative to retreat. The opponent seemed to be able to predict his moves every time he struck his sword, and took advantage of the opportunity to attack him first.

If you continue to fight like this, you will only get beaten.

Seeing Aizen voluntarily withdraw from the group, Unohana Retsu's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly sent a message in the group: Tsk, he found out.

This is an actor: Discovery is certain, and Aizen is not that stupid.

The artist of this book: The Dugu Nine Swords is really powerful! In terms of swordsmanship alone, Aizen is completely suppressed.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Even the Dugu Nine Swordsmen have to look at the person. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to achieve the same level as Sister Hua.

Curly-haired guy: Yeah. If it was Ali-chan, I'm afraid she would be killed by Aizen in a matter of minutes.

Book artist: Damn it, it’s like you won’t be killed instantly.

Curly-haired boy: Humph, I can't do that! Gin-san, if I cover my head with bear pants, even Aizen would be stunned for a few seconds.

Hatchet Girl:?

Skirt-lifting maniac: Yin, there’s something wrong with you!

Scarlet Snake Fairy: Your fighting method is unprecedented.

Illustrator: Where's your katana spirit? Where's your samurai soul? How dare you call yourself a samurai?

Curly-haired boy: Samurai don’t act according to common sense!

Shark-faced guy: This seems to be what Uzumaki Naruto said. Have you paid him the copyright fees?

Curly: Stop nagging! Just watch the livestream, you bastards!

"As expected of the First Kenpachi." Aizen on the screen remained expressionless as he softly praised, "As far as swordsmanship is concerned, you've probably reached the pinnacle of the Shinigami. However, the outcome of a Shinigami battle isn't determined by the strength of your swordsmanship."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly turned into light and disappeared.

Unohana Retsu's eyes narrowed, and she instinctively raised her sword to block the attack. However, the light point transformed by Aizen suddenly bypassed her left side and appeared on her right.

scoff.

White pieces of cloth fluttered.

A clear knife mark appeared on Unohana Retsu's right shoulder. The haori was cut open, revealing the black Shikaku lining.

"Oh, you were able to dodge in that situation?" Aizen smiled and said softly, "What a terrifying reaction ability! I was planning to chop off one of your arms."

"Should I thank you for showing mercy?" Unohana Retsu retorted.

In fact, that wasn't her reflexes at all, but rather Uchiha Madara's remote assistance using the laws of space. Otherwise, her arm might not have been chopped off, but she would have been bleeding and injured for sure.

"Ah, thank you is unnecessary." Aizen didn't care about the other party's words at all, and said calmly: "If possible, I hope you can clear up my confusion. Why did you choose to confront me at this time?"

He didn't ask the other party such idiotic questions as "Since they already knew my true identity, why didn't you report it to the captain?" Anyone with a bit of common sense knew that reporting a captain without solid evidence would not yield any results.
