The first team building, the swordsmanship dojo.
With a calm and solemn appearance, a long silver-white beard hanging down on his chest, and wearing a purple haori, Captain Yamamoto is sitting cross-legged in the middle with a sword Zen posture.
The decoration here is no different from the place where he taught Ji Xing Kendo a hundred years ago, but it is actually not the same place. The first team building has also been moved as a whole, otherwise it would be located close to the original team building of Zhenyang Underground Prison. , Captain Yamamoto will definitely be able to feel Byakuya's spiritual pressure disappearing together, and thus know where Ji Xing is.
The relocation was done for Youhabach.
43 years ago, the Shinigami destroyed the Shadow Empire built by the Quincy using spirit seeds in the shadow of Seireitei, and killed half of the members of the Star Cross Knights. However, they did not find Yhwach who had self-sealed to restore his strength. They could only Determine the approximate location.
right here!
So after receiving the news of the invasion, Captain Yamamoto instead entered here to sit in meditation and left all other matters to the captains.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps broke the tranquility of the kendo quiet room. The deputy captain of the first team, Takubujiro, wearing wooden clogs, hurriedly appeared at the door, half-kneeling on one knee to report.
“Captain, something happened! The superior nobles Moritoshi sent an emergency distress signal, and it seems that they were hit by a travel disaster!”
The captain suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be fire in his eyes: "The superior nobles were attacked?"
Chabujiro knew that the captain was not asking himself, but was wondering and making associations. There was no reason to attack the nobles due to travel accidents.
Do you want to muddy the waters? But how exactly did they attack a high-ranking noble family?
And for them, who live for thousands of years, a hundred years is not that long ago. When they hear about someone attacking a noble, they will always think of it. After all, that night a hundred years ago, Jiro Takucho reported exactly this to the captain. of!
"I understand." After more than ten seconds of silence, the captain responded and closed his eyes again.
…
Senior noble, Mori family.
Half of the gorgeous houses collapsed, and the faint smell of blood spread from under the ruins, exuding an aura of decay under the setting sun in the evening. The corpses of more than a dozen guards were scattered around.
Two figures arrived in an instant. Kyōraku Shunsui, who was wearing a distinctive floral dress and haori, looked around with a deep gaze: "Please, sister Lisa."
Next to her, Lisa Yatomaru had already drawn out a special Zanpakutō, and with the liberation words "Destroy him, iron dragonfly", she liberated the Zanpakutō combination into a shape like a paddle, and inserted it into the collapsed building. Pick it up, boom, lift it up!
The exposed scene made Jingraku Shunsui's pupils shrink suddenly. He saw only two corpses under the collapsed building. They were dressed in servant clothes and looked horrified. They were both killed by a precise knife slit their throats!
But the building in front of them couldn't be a servant's room from the location to the decoration. The crushed and broken bowls of cakes, the blood stained next to the cakes, and the stained noble clothes also told them that there was something more in this room. Multiple people!
But there was no trace, and no body was left behind!
Kyōraku Shunsui was very impressed by the scene of leaving only clothes and no people behind. There were only two things that could be achieved, Aizen's virtualization experiment, and a Zanpakutō with extremely special effects!
"Is it really you who is back? Yono-san." He murmured softly and knelt down to check.
Yazomaru Lisa's sword returned to its original state, she looked around again, walked to a closed house in the distance, and pushed the door open.
"Ah--" As the screams echoed, she saw a noble boy holding his head in his hands, huddled in the corner. When he saw the death domineering uniform on her body, the frightened expression on her face calmed down slightly.
“Death, Death?”
“What happened here? Did you see the intruder?” Lisa Yatomaru asked.
Patiently comforted the frightened young man, but Lisa did not get any useful information. The young man had hid in the cupboard since he heard the guard's screams and had just come out.
Turning around, he looked at Kyōraku Shunsui. Kyōraku Shunsui shook his head slightly and said that he had found nothing more. He said to the team members who had just arrived: "The attacker has left. Comfort those who were frightened and confirm whether the attacker has stayed." Leave more traces!”
“Yes, Captain!”
After making arrangements, the two of them quickly walked to the high point of a nearby building and looked around carefully at the surrounding situation.
Two more figures came to their side in an instant, and the tenth division team's Toshiro Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto, who were closer here, also arrived.
“How is the situation? Have you caught the attacker? Captain Kyōband!”
"No." Jingraku Shunsui shook his head slightly: "There is no trace of spiritual pressure captured at all."
"If it's really him, it's normal that he can't be caught." Yatomaru Lisa whispered.
Hitsugaya Toshiro was startled: "Who? That mysterious Perfection Technique master Hirakawa Kouki?"
Kyōraku Shunsui looked at him and said in a deep tone: "Captain Hitsugaya doesn't know something. After you brought back the information about the genjutsu master Hirakawa Kouki, Captain Urahara and Captain Yoruichi have not yet contacted Soul Society. The connection reminded me of Captain Heiko’s name from a long time ago—Yono Mashi!”
Matsumoto Rangiku's body trembled: "He?! Didn't the leader of the Beijing Orchestra mean...?!"
Hitsugaya Toshiro was also startled: "The number one genius of the millennium a hundred years ago? The three seats of Division 12 who invented the three-piece hang gliding suit, exposed Sosuke Aizen's conspiracy... and caused Aizen to defect?!"
"Ah." Kyōraku Shunsui thought: "Captain Hitsugaya entered the Seireitei relatively late and had not personally experienced that night a hundred years ago. The three sentences he left behind after his death were also vaguely erased by the nobles and Mr. Yama. Go, now the only sentence that is widely known is 'Aizen is not a good person', but there are two other sentences."
Rangiku Matsumoto took a deep breath and said quickly: "One sentence points out the Quincy's hiding place, and the other sentence... threatens the nobles to be more honest, indicating that he will be reincarnated and come back!"
Hitsugaya Toshiro was shocked. The discovery of the Quincy was not just Captain Urahara's fault? Threaten the nobles, reincarnate...rebirth? !
He looked at the situation of the Mori family again: "Rangju, you also know? Did you experience it with your own eyes a hundred years ago?!"
If it were any other situation, Matsumoto Rangiku would have ridiculed the captain's age and qualifications, but he was not in the mood at this time. He just nodded lightly and said: "I was studying at the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy at that time, and the teachers at that time would always use him as an example. Example.
If it hadn't been for the incident that night, he would now be the idol of the Gods of Death. The person who could become the Captain of the Gods of Death the fastest would probably not be you, the leader. "
Also...silver.
She asked in a deep voice: "Captain of the Beijing Orchestra! Do you mean that the Hirakawa Kouki we see in this world is the 'reincarnation' of that person?! And now..."
“No wonder just at that age, the strength is mysterious and difficult to measure...” Hitsugaya Toshiro also felt ups and downs in shock as he stared at Kyoraku.
Jingraku Shunsui shook his head slightly: "Yes, all the traces are pointing to him. Even the scene that can absorb souls and make the dead body disappear leaving only clothes is exactly the same, but this just makes me think... not It's him!
If he returns, there is no need to immediately recreate the **** night of the nobles a hundred years ago, nor should there be a conflict with Soul Society. We have a common enemy - Aizen Sosuke.
This kind of deliberateness makes me suspect that Sosuke Aizen is causing trouble. To take a step back, if it was really Yono-san, he would have done more than just attack the Morito family in front of him with his swift movements. "
I was shocked when I got the opposite answer. This ups and downs made Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku stunned for a moment, and they were speechless for a moment. Is it Aizen? !
Just at this moment, a Shinigami team member jumped up and reported: "Captain Kyōband! Captain Hitsugaya! The superior noble Kurobe family sends a distress signal!"
“The mid-level noble Wakabayashi Yuan family was attacked!”
“Mid-level nobles went to the Taira family to ask for help!”
Following the news, the continuous reports instantly brought the spring water of Jingraku back to the night a hundred years ago.
Facing the three eyes around him, he pressed his bamboo hat wordlessly and could only say in a deep voice: "Sister Lisa, send a reinforcement signal! Let's go!"
…
Zhenyang Underground Prison.
Ji Xing, who successfully retrieved the Zanpakutō and eavesdropped on the brother and sister's conversation for two minutes, was in a good mood. He opened the door on the ground and walked out of the prison.
The light of dusk fell on him, making Ji Xing narrow his eyes slightly and look at the figure opposite.
Wearing black clothes that are close to death, the young man whose face was half-covered took off his hijab, revealing a slightly familiar but unfamiliar face. He had a Zanpakutō slung across his waist, but he was also holding a blood-stained black sword in his hand. The white scabbard and hands were stained with blood that had not yet dried up. It looked like a massacre had just been carried out.
Ji Xing expected that the most bizarre situation was that as soon as he walked out of the Zhenyang underground prison, Mr. Yamamoto and all the captains had surrounded him. He never expected to encounter such a person.
Ji Xing asked, "A member of the Tsunayashiro family?" His eyes lingered on the blood-stained black sword with a white handle.
"Yes, Tsunayashiro Tomonobu, Tsunayashiro is the current clan leader, and the great-grandson of the clan leader Tsunayashiro who was killed by you a hundred years ago." The young man opposite said in an indifferent tone with murderous intent: "It seems that there is no need to do more. It is confirmed that the heinous sinner who caused the Noble Blood Night is Yono Masashi!"
Ji Xing raised his head and asked, "It's me. Did you copy my Zanpakutō?"
"It's a one-time use. No wonder. What do I mean? Is it possible that a Zanpakutō can be copied at will?" Ji Xing nodded slightly and said, "Who did you just kill and **** the soul of?"
Chishin Tsunayashiro sneered: "You did the same thing as you, killing all the nobles who have been trying to shake the Tsunayashiro family's position for hundreds of years!"
Ji Xing shook his head and said: "How can it be the same? What I do is called eliminating harm for the people, and what you do is called eliminating dissenters."
"Is that so? Do you really think of yourself as the judge of the nobles?" Tsunayayotomo stretched out his backhand and inserted the white blade into his body.
With a clang, the blade shattered!
A huge amount of spiritual pressure rises up!
…
“Is it originally a dispute between nobles?”
On the other side, there were more than two groups of captains and vice-captains in the queue. Kyoryu Shunsui seemed to be relieved and sighed helplessly.
After chasing more than a dozen nobles who were attacked, and blocking them in various ways, they finally caught the attacker's tail, leaving the attackers with no time to clean up the traces. The final result pointed to a high-ranking noble, Tsunayashiro, the head of the Tsunayashiro family. Chishin!
The captains all know this man. When the Tsunayashiro family declined a lot after the incident a hundred years ago, he stabilized the situation of the Tsunayashiro family with great decisiveness. His own strength is also extremely good, and he seems to have mastered the swastika. Understand that he can serve as the captain of the Gotei 13 Team.
This is the background of the four nobles, and Tsunayashiro Chinobu has the ability to do this kind of thing.
“Tsk—it’s really adding to the chaos.” Hirako Mako muttered unhappily: “I thought Yono Masashi was really back, but it turned out that the Tsunayashiro family was taking advantage of the chaos to eliminate dissidents, idiots.”
"Ahem..." Jushiro Ukitake coughed twice and thought: "I didn't know that you actually suspected that the perfect master of the art, Hirakawa Kouki, was Yono-kun. Maybe the reason for Tsunayashiro's actions was also similar. ? They specially created a scene similar to Yono-kun’s Zanpakutō, and wanted to put the blame on Hirakawa Kouki, but they didn’t expect that we would chase him so fast, and now we..."
Jingraku Shunshui spread his hands and said: "When it comes to the four nobles, let's let Captain Kuchiki and Old Man Shan make it difficult for them. We can just report it truthfully. In short...it's not returning with Nosang, which makes people feel happy and disappointed at the same time."
“Yes.” Makoto Hirako shook his head.
The young Toshiro Hitsugaya listened to the conversation of several veterans and deeply understood how heavy and complicated the name "Yono Masashi" was for the century-old captain. But... this attack was a dispute between nobles, and Kouki Hirakawa is not Yono Masashi. So now... where is Kouki Hirakawa?
–
At this moment, a terrifying spiritual pressure that could not be described in words suddenly came, which even made Hitsugaya Toshiro stagger while walking and looked up into the distance in disbelief!
“That’s...what?! Who?!”
Only dozens of miles away, a dark pillar of spiritual pressure rose into the sky and shot straight through the sky! The chaos and irritability of the spiritual pressure in it, and the terrifying intensity of it, far exceeded what Hitsugaya Toshiro had seen, almost ten times as much as him!
How could anyone possess that level of spiritual pressure? ! He looked up at the three centenary captains and found that they, Lisa Yakinamaru, and Rangiku Matsumoto all had dazed expressions!
“I’m really back.” Hirako Makoto murmured: “But what does that idiot mean…”
return? Yono Masashi? Could this spiritual pressure represent Yono Masashi? !
Unlike the young captain, Captain Yamamoto, who was sitting cross-legged in the first team's building, opened his eyes again. Unohana Retsu of the fourth team went to the window to visit. The black cat following Ichigo turned his head in surprise, confused. Kenpachi ran away, stunned with excitement and ecstasy!
At this moment, all the Shinigami in the Seireitei looked at the terrifying dark spiritual pressure beam in shock or surprise!
Any Shinigami above the rank of official who experienced the incident a hundred years ago will never forget that they felt such three terrifying amounts of spiritual pressure that night!
Red comes from Captain Yamamoto.
Blue comes from Aizen Sosuke.
Black, belongs to Yono Masashi!
…
Looking at the dark spiritual pressure beam in front of him, Ji Xing seemed to be facing himself a hundred years ago.
The disposable Zanpakutō has been completely broken and completed its mission. The souls of the previous massacres were injected into Tsunayoshiro Tomonobu's body, turning them into his spiritual pressure and strength!
His soul was on fire, and there was pain, ferocity, and determination in his expression.
“First kill the dissidents and kill all the nobles who are shaking Tsunayashiro’s position, and then use this move to drag me to death together. I will resist the blame and help the nobles eliminate their enemies, and then re-establish Tsunayashiro?”
Ji Xing sighed with emotion: "You are more decisive than I was a hundred years ago. After all... you can't be reincarnated with one move, right? If you die, you will really die. If you burn your soul like this, you won't even have to go to hell."
"Everything is for the Tsunayashiro family!" Tsunayashiro Chi stretched out the Zanpakutō from his waist: "And this is the best opportunity. In this world, you must have absorbed the abilities of all the Perfectionists, and you must know that it is The internal organs of the Soul King, right?!
Now you haven't digested it completely, and the Zanpakuto has just retrieved the broken broken sword. The longer you delay, the stronger the genius you are will probably become, and the more powerless you will be to us!
I can’t expect the Gotei 13, who have an old relationship with you, to take you down, let alone Aizen Sosuke and risk Tsunayashiro’s future by killing you.
I don’t need to kill you here, I just need to inflict enough trauma on you and use my death to make the Gotei 13 dare not protect you anymore. What awaits you will be an endless sentence of hell! "
He raised the sword in front of him, and his spiritual pressure rose again!
“Swastika! Drinking from the four seas, occupying the ends of the earth, all phenomena are covered, overwriting and cutting, the mirror code is beautiful!”
In an instant, arc light flashed, and a blazing sea of fire engulfed Ji Xing's figure and gnawed at the surrounding area. Tsunayoshiro Chinobu shouted softly: "The blade flows like fire!"
“Is the Zanpakutō a copying ability? This seems to be Tsunayashiro Tokinada’s sword. Is it also responsible for creating a replica of my Zanpakutō?”
The temperature of the flames around him was almost higher than that of Commander Yamamoto Hajime when Tsunayashiro Tomonobu's soul was burning, swallowing and burning Ji Xing!
The one-third incomplete Zanpakutō that had just been retrieved from Ji Xing's sleeve slipped out and was held in his hand!
There is nothing wrong with my decisiveness and judgment on me. If I don’t take action now, I will indeed become stronger and stronger, and it may indeed bring about a change that will sweep through the Soul Society. A family like Tsunayashiro will inevitably go Decline!
He is a talented person, but also a ruthless person.
The death of Shiba Haiyan does not need to be investigated.
Unfortunately...it is not the reincarnated Yono Masashi who returns, but a brand new version of Hirakawa Kouki.
Hundred years ago, my strength was not only my spiritual pressure that surpassed Deputy Captain Aizen after burning my soul, but also my outstanding control and self-control that could suppress the pain of this soul collision!
Click—!
Suddenly, purple thunder rolled down in the sky, and the sky of Seireitei was covered by dark clouds. A feeling of terror eroded the hearts of all Shinigami!
In the blazing sea of flames, a purple electric light broke through the flames and instantly tore into pieces the black spiritual pressure pillar that protected Tsunayashiro Chinobu's body, refracting dozens of degrees around him!
Chishin Tsunaya froze, his eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had doubts, but at the next moment, his body exploded into pieces!
The dark spiritual pressure beam disappeared.
In the substantial sea of flames, Tsunayashiro Chinobu's head flew across and fell in front of Ji Xing.
Those eyes were wide open, staring at the white handle... and purple broken blade in Ji Xing's hand!
Then burn out and disappear!
In the sea of fire, Ji Xing raised his head again and looked into the distance. Jingraku Shunshui and others came one after another in search of spiritual pressure, and they also looked at the situation here absentmindedly.
"What on earth is going on?" Hitsugaya Toshiro murmured: "That spiritual pressure actually belongs to the head of the Tsunayashiro family? He was just killed by Hirakawa Kouki? Who is Hirakawa Kouki..."
After twists and turns, doubts were dispelled again and again, Kyoraku Shunsui was also confused. Hirako Mako stared at the broken sword closely: "It's Yono's Zanpakutō, but...purple?! Thunder?!"
Under their gaze, the purple color on the knife suddenly faded a bit and became as blue as the sky. The person holding it rotated and swept away, and a wave of water hit, extinguishing the surrounding sea of fire!
A large amount of water vapor quickly rose into the sky and turned into raindrops falling down.
Ji Xing sheathed his sword and waved to the opposite side: "Captain Kyōchō, Captain Ukitake, we haven't seen each other for a hundred years. I'm sorry, Captain Hirako, it was inconvenient to say hello last time.
My soul is colorful and is no longer just black and white. It's me, I'm back! "
5k4, late, late, this chapter is a bit difficult to write.
I will go to the old man’s house to keep vigil tomorrow. I guess I will be late, so I’m sorry.
