Capturing Isshin, Battling Kenpachi (continued)

The pebbles and sand transformed into Reishi, which then formed a tide that enveloped Uryū Ishida's body.

Quincy, by their very nature, are only capable of breaking down and manipulating external Reishi.

However, this does not mean that their bodies are incapable of storing Reishi.

Since returning from Ryūken Ishida's place, Tokoyo Misao has discovered that his body possesses an extremely powerful Reishi energy.

Clearly, one of the conditions for awakening the Schrift is that one's own Reishi level must reach a certain level.

Tokoyo Misao decided to directly appoint Uryū Ishida to the position.

After a long time, Uryū Ishida absorbed about a thousand meters of Reishi from the earth, extending to a depth of about ten meters, before finally stopping.

He opened his eyes, and Reishi blue light shone from them.

"Thank you, Boss Misao."

"Has the power of the Schrift been awakened?" Tokoyo Misao with some curiosity.

What is the Schrift that combines Kanae Katagiri and Uryū Ishida's Power Seed?

Or is it Antithesis?

Uryū Ishida shook his head:

"I haven't learned it yet, or rather, I don't know how to control this power. Once I go back to my grandfather and systematically learn the Quincy tradition, I should be able to."

"Go for it, Uryū!"

Separately in the secret base, Chang Shishoucao digested the absorbed Soul-Depriving Spirit Particles and stored them in his body.

With only around 100,000 units, he was brought back to the limit of Soul Reaper.

This is different from when I was in a soul state.

At that time, he needed to convert the Reishi that he couldn't absorb into Reishi Orb and store them for future use.

But now, with a human body, it is possible to continue to integrate these Reishi into the body.

Although a breakthrough in the soul has not yet been achieved, the total amount of Reishi has already surpassed the limit of the Soul Reaper.

He opened his eyes, and a red and black halo suddenly burst forth, eclipsing the light of the entire secret base.

It was as if this place had turned into an endless Hell, where even Soul Reaper of the vice- Captain-level would be instantly crushed to the ground and his body would soon collapse.

He drew the emanating energy back into his body, casually swaying his neck and making a cracking sound.

As soon as he returned to the Tenth Division, he saw Tōshirō Hitsugaya rushing towards him with a look of anxiety.

Senna was still by his side, but Rangiku Matsumoto was not.

"Boss Misao, you're finally out. The captain's meeting has started, and Lieutenant Matsumoto has already gone over."

"Captains' Meeting? Didn't they say that although they knew about the Wandenreich, hidden in the dark side of Soul Society, they had no way to contact them?"

Since the last battle with Unohana, we have entered a period of peace again.

Not long after, Kisuke Urahara secretly received support from the Soul Society and devoted himself to finding the location of the Wandenreich.

He and Mayuri Kurotsuchi worked together and indeed found some clues.

Furthermore, it was determined that the enemy's location was beneath the Soul Society.

This also confirms what Tokoyo Misao said long ago: that the Quincy are hiding in the shadows.

However, both of them are now facing a bottleneck.

Because they simply had no way to infiltrate that area.

Therefore, Tokoyo Misao went to the secret base to cultivate and absorb power.

"It's been over two years, Boss Misao."

Tōshirō realized that Tokoyo Misao might be training in a secret base and not be aware of the passage of time, so he quickly reminded him.

"What? It means Little Orihime is already a high school student, and I missed her opening ceremony!"

Tokoyo Misao's eyes widened.

He truly hadn't expected that simply absorbing the power of those Blanks would keep him in the secret base for over two years.

"Don't worry, I went to Orihime's opening ceremony. But she misses you a lot, it's been over two years."

Tōshirō laughed and said, "Besides, this child has grown up quite a bit. When Boss Misao sees him, he'll definitely be shocked."

He marveled at Orihime's growth, never expecting his younger sister to grow up so quickly.

"Understood, I'll go attend the team leader meeting first."

Tokoyo Misao responded with a smile, then looked at Senna beside him and said, "How was it? Did you create any new memories?"

Senna's crimson eyes were fixed on Tōshirō's back as she nodded slightly. "Thank you, Captain Tokoyo."

Oh? Interesting.

It seems that Senna has other feelings for Tōshirō.

Tokoyo Misao didn't really support Tōshirō continuing to pursue Momo Hinamori.

Even if the opponent has the title of the number one tank in the Soul Realm.

However, she will probably never be able to break free from Aizen's heart in this lifetime.

Furthermore, Tōshirō's feelings for Momo Hinamori are mainly due to their childhood friendship.

Now that Senna has suddenly appeared, that's pretty good too.

He had no intention of interfering with Tōshirō's choice, so he smiled, patted the other on the shoulder, and turned to disappear.

First Division Meeting Room.

Tokoyo Misao pushed open the door and walked straight to stand beside Shunsui Kyōraku.

The team captains were all present today, but what struck him as odd was how unusually quiet it was.

In particular, Kenpachi Zaraki was somewhat unaccustomed to not rushing at him with a roar and demanding a fight.

At this moment, Kenpachi Zaraki stood still with his eyes closed, his breathing becoming very shallow.

Tokoyo Misao's eyes lit up.

Could it be that Kenpachi Zaraki has finally made up his mind to learn kendo after all this time?

It's clear that his breathing is now very regular, even though he's consciously controlling it.

Tokoyo Misao's lips involuntarily curled up into a slight smile.

Indeed, the battle with Unohana was able to awaken his instincts.

But he also discovered this after that long battle in the Muken Realm that day.

What followed could hardly be considered an emotional outburst; it was merely an instinctive release.

If Kenpachi Zaraki could unleash his full power.

Could I find a different kind of passion in fighting him?

Knock knock knock.

Without any opening remarks, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai went straight to the point. "Captain Aizen, state your discovery."

Sōsuke Aizen took a step forward and walked to the center.

He frowned and said anxiously:

"Some time ago, I went to the World of the Living as part of a support force, only to discover a human who looked exactly like Isshin Shiba, the former captain of the Tenth Division of the Gotei 13."

"At first I thought I was seeing things, so I specifically brought along Vice Captain Momo Hinamori to observe him for a while."

"It has been confirmed that the other party is indeed the missing Captain Isshin Shiba."

As he finished speaking, he turned and looked at Tokoyo Misao with a hint of reproach.

When I found him, he was shopping at the Heaven and Earth Trading Company.

"Captain Tokoyo probably knew about this a long time ago, right?"

"What do you know? Have you ever seen the owner of a major business guild sit in the shop and need me to greet customers? Why would they bother hiring shop assistants?"

Tokoyo Misao immediately retorted.

Aizen wouldn't be thinking of...

His eyes narrowed as he looked at Aizen in the arena.

Aizen nodded, seemingly agreeing with Tokoyo Misao's statement, and continued:

"Strangely, Captain Isshin Shiba has become completely human, with no trace of Soul Reaper power remaining in his body."

Upon hearing this, Captain-Commander Yamamoto's eyes widened.

The other team captains also became serious.

Even Kenpachi Zaraki slowly opened his eyes, but he still maintained shallow breathing.

"I also conducted a detailed investigation into this matter and discovered that Captain Isshin Shiba transferred all of his Soul Reaper powers to his wife in the World of the Living."

After saying that, Aizen returned to the queue and did not speak again.

But that last sentence almost condemned Isshin Shiba to a grave crime.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto said in a deep voice, "Sasakibe, bring out the verdict from the Central 46 Chambers."

First Division Vice- Sasakibe stepped forward, pulled a judgment from his sleeve, and loudly read:

"Former Captain of the Tenth Division Gotei 13, Isshin Shiba, privately granted Soul Reaper powers to a human and remained in the World of the Living, forming a family with a human, which is a serious violation of the Soul Society's rules."

"Bring him back immediately."

Sasakibe took back the verdict, stepped back a few paces, and stood behind Captain-Commander Yamamoto again.

"Does anyone have any objections to this?" Captain-Commander Yamamoto's gaze fell intently on Tokoyo Misao's face.

Not only him, but many captains also turned their attention to Tokoyo Misao.

To say that the other party was unaware of Isshin Shiba's state of mind is merely a superficial statement.

Which of the team captains present wasn't someone who had lived for hundreds of years?

How could I not guess? Tokoyo Misao had known about this all along and was even helping to cover it up.

Tokoyo Misao pursed his lips and said, "Why are you all staring at me?"

"They should be arrested."

"Do you expect me to lead the team to arrest them?"

"Captain Kuchiki, you're in charge of capturing Isshin Shiba this time."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto hadn't expected Tokoyo Misao to be so decisive.

Before Byakuya Kuchiki could respond, Tokoyo Misao spoke up, "Isshin Shiba is a high-ranking nobleman, do you really dare to sentence him to the death penalty?"

"Do they have the guts? Unless they want to die."

Boom! A scorching and intense Reiatsu appeared and slammed down on Tokoyo Misao.

However, this force did not make Tokoyo Misao bend his knee.

He remained upright and maintained his smile.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto's eyes sharpened, and he shouted in a deep voice:

"Captain Tokoyo, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to challenge the rules of Soul Society?!"

"Don't worry, Captain-Commander Yamamoto, the high-ranking nobles will definitely crush those lower-ranking nobles within the rules. They will absolutely do it within the rules."

Tokoyo Misao explained with a bright smile.

However, his words revealed a cold reality.

Under the current rules of Soul Society, even without using any force, high-ranking nobles can inflict devastating blows on lower-ranking nobles, and even high-ranking nobles cannot withstand them.

For example, the Heaven and Earth Trading Company currently under the Tokoyo Misao.

If he gave the order, he could prevent most of the land owned by lower and middle-ranking nobles from being sold.
