The reason for their failure: not cool enough (10/7)

Lisa Yadōmaru adjusted her glasses, her eyes scanning Tokoyo Misao until she saw the daffodil mark on the back of his hand, which only deepened her confusion.

"Can it withstand the mark?" This time she was truly shocked.

It's important to know that the Gentei Reiin can restrict Captain-level character's Spiritual Power by nearly 70%.

"No, the mark on Tokoyo Misao's hand is merely an ornament," Hachigen Ushōda shook his head and said softly, "His power has not been suppressed."

Tokoyo Misao laughed and nodded at Hachigen.

"As expected of the former deputy head of the Kidō Corps Kidō Sect."

"The so-called Gentei Reiin is simply to draw the Reiatsu unconsciously emitted by the captain back into his body, and to restrain it within his body like a valve."

"But if I can freely control all the Reishi, then this so-called Gentei Reiin is irrelevant."

"What?" Hachigen's eyes widened, his pupils trembled, and a bead of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Everyone else present was equally shocked.

All members of the Visored were once Captain-level, so they naturally understand the significance of this statement.

Even if one cultivates to the level of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, Reishi will unconsciously dissipate, forming Reiatsu.

Therefore, beings with excessively high Rei'i Grade must be cautious even when venturing into Rukongai.

It is highly likely that those weaker wandering souls will be crushed and killed directly.

For example, Byakuya Kuchiki's wife, Hisana Kuchiki.

She simply lacked sufficient Reishi.

Living for a long time in Noble Street, an environment filled with the Reiatsu emanating from others.

This leads to the body gradually weakening and eventually death.

Tokoyo Misao's ability to control all the Reishi within his body was simply a fantasy to them.

This cannot be explained simply by saying that one has strong ability to manipulate Reishi.

Shinji Hirako frowned. "Even Kenpachi Azashiro had to use Bankai, relying on the power of his Zanpakuto, to achieve what you've done."

He waved his hand, and the captains simultaneously dispersed their Reiatsu.

Since there is no way to suppress Tokoyo Misao, there is no point in continuing.

Rukia had only just experienced Shinji Hirako's Reiatsu.

But it has become clear that every member of the Visored is very strong.

She asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened?"

Her body trembled involuntarily; after all, facing so many powerful figures, even with Tokoyo Misao by her side, was extremely dangerous.

Tokoyo Misao reached out and patted Rukia on the back, and the latter suddenly relaxed a lot.

He then turned his head and explained with a smile:

"Remember what I'm about to say; don't tell anyone."

"Not even your older brother Byakuya."

Rukia nodded seriously.

She's genuinely curious now.

These are the former captains and vice-captains of the Gotei 13.

Why did he become a traitor to Soul Society and appear on a wanted poster?

Chapter 88 The Reason for Failure Wasn't Cool Enough (10/7)

Tokoyo Misao said with a smile:

"Don't be so serious. Although they call themselves Visored now, it's not really their fault that the Gotei 13 are to blame."

"What did you say? We were the ones expelled from Seireitei, those bastards!"

Upon hearing this, Hiyori Sarugaki roared angrily.

They were all ambushed during their missions, which led to their current Visored appearance.

Then he was put on a death sentence by the Central 46 Chambers, which forced him to flee to the World of the Living and hide.

How could all of this be unrelated to the Gotei 13?

"Don't rush, don't rush."

Tokoyo Misao waved his hand at him.

"Given your current situation, the first thing you should blame is your own lack of strength."

"You!" Hiyori Sarugaki opened her mouth again, wanting to roar, but stopped herself.

She had no way to refute that statement.

If we had been strong enough when we were ambushed, we could have easily defeated the enemy and wouldn't be in this predicament now.

"No, they're really strong. We just fell for their trap."

Mashiro Kuna put his hands on his hips, looking unconvinced, and muttered something under his breath.

Tokoyo Misao, however, held up two fingers and said:

"If that's the case, then why didn't you kill Aizen when he appeared in the World of the Living?"

"That's because..." Mashiro Kuna only managed to say two words before turning away, pouting and letting out a cold snort.

"Aizen has appeared in the World of the Living quite a few times. Even if he was disguising himself, I believe you should have had the means to sense him, but you haven't made a move despite having so many opportunities."

"In my opinion, it's even Aizen who wants to find you."

Who is stronger and who is weaker?

After these words were spoken, the members of the Visored fell completely silent.

Whether it was the special internship before, or the subsequent Aizen experiment to modify Hollows.

Not long ago, when Isshin Shiba and Tokoyo Misao came to the World of the Living, the Visoreds all knew that Aizen had come to the World of the Living.

But because they had no confidence in their ability to succeed, they dared not make a move.

To put it bluntly, it means knowing full well that one's abilities are insufficient.

"Captain Aizen?" Rukia Kuchiki turned her head to look at Tokoyo Misao with some confusion.

Her impression of this captain was that he was very gentle and a very respectable captain.

If someone else spoke of Aizen like that in front of her, she would definitely speak up in his defense.

But since it came from Tokoyo Misao's mouth, there must be another reason.

Tokoyo Misao turned his head to meet Rukia's gaze, nodded slightly, and then explained:

"Captain Aizen reached the limit of Soul Reaper's strength a long time ago, but he was not satisfied, so he has always been pursuing how to go further."

"The strange Hollows we've encountered, and these Visored who now possess Hollow powers, are all results of their experiments."

"What? The limits of Soul Reaper? You mean Aizen can be compared to Captain-Commander Yamamoto?"

Rukia was shocked.

The image of Aizen's kind face kept flashing through her mind.

There's simply no way to classify him as a schemer or compare him to Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

Tokoyo Misao affirmed once again. "That's right, on the path of the Soul Reaper, he and Captain-Commander Yamamoto have both reached their limits, with no further advancement possible."

Before Rukia could ask any further questions, Tokoyo Misao withdrew a finger from the members of the Visored and said with a smile:

"That's one point, as I just mentioned, that you're not strong enough."

Secondly, your IQs are not high enough.

As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Shinji Hirako, making his meaning perfectly clear.

"How do you know everything, kid?" Shinji Hirako's face was extremely ugly.

After all, Aizen was once his vice-captain, and lived under his nose for a hundred years.

Yet they still managed to devise a plan, completely outmaneuvering them.

Ultimately, he was forced to leave Soul Society and hide in this dilapidated factory in the World of the Living.

Didn't I say that?

Tokoyo Misao opened his arms, placed his right hand on his chest, and his left hand behind his back, bowing with a very small arc.

It looked like a bizarre and inappropriate ceremony.

"I am the patriarch of the Tokoyo Clan, one of the Five Great Noble Clans."

"I see. So your family has special means to know these things."

Visored Shinji Hirako served as captain of the Visored for the longest time, so he naturally knew about the Great Spirit Book Gallery, a record of all information about the Soul Society.

They were all kept by the great nobles.

This is why Hiyori Sarugaki hates Soul Society so much now.

They all believed that what had happened could not be kept secret from Central 46 Chambers and Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

But the final verdict was still to kill them, which was unacceptable.

Hiyori Sarugaki's hateful gaze was caught by Tokoyo Misao, who reached out and waved his hand:

"You don't need to blame the Central 46 Chambers and the Gotei 13."

"Because Aizen had already entered the Great Spirit Book Gallery, and even modified the books inside, and..."

His gaze swept over everyone in the Visored, and he said with a smile:

"You should also know about Aizen's abilities."

"Kyōka Suigetsu Complete Hypnosis illusion."

Therefore, all the information you encounter has been distorted.

The reason you couldn't understand before was because you thought Aizen wasn't strong enough to hypnotize everyone in the Seireitei.

"But the fact is, he can indeed hypnotize everyone in the Soul Society."

"Are you kidding me?" Hachigen Ushōda shouted in surprise.

As the vice-chief of the Kidō Corps Kidō, he naturally understood better than anyone else present that Kyōka Suigetsu was Kidō-type Zanpakuto.

Hypnotize everyone in Soul Society?

Is this really not a joke?

"That's just how it is." As he said this, Tokoyo Misao looked at Rukia beside him.

A few glints flashed in the latter's eyes, and he nodded slightly.

She understood the meaning behind Tokoyo Misao's words.

In other words, the entire Soul Society is currently under Aizen's hypnosis.

So once you get back, you can't tell anyone.

Telling anyone will only expose yourself.

Thinking of this, Rukia Kuchiki's expression also became serious.

She never imagined that Soul Society would be in its current state.

"Skill and intelligence are the two reasons for your failure, but there is one last reason, which is also the most important."

Tokoyo Misao continued smiling, extending one finger and waving it from side to side.

This made the members of the Visored even more curious.

Besides skill and intelligence, is there something else that determines victory or defeat?

Could it be power or influence?

For example, an aristocratic background.
