The Five Great Noble Clans Are All Traitors
Aizen softly.
After creating Masaki Kurosaki, he certainly didn't give up monitoring her.
However, at present, her growth rate is somewhat disappointing, and she has stagnated.
But now something interesting is happening.
In the scene, Isshin Shiba is proposing to Masaki Kurosaki, who is overjoyed to accept the ring.
"Yes, since the god I created has merged with my old friend Captain Shiba, shouldn't I give him a little gift?"
Aizen's lips curled into a smile; he had already decided on the gift.
"A gift?" Kaname Tōsen stunned.
Why prepare a gift for Isshin Shiba?
"No rush." Aizen smiled, turned around, and stepped out the door.
"You should make the arrangements for going to Hueco Mundo first. I need to go and congratulate Brother Misao on settling down."
"Yes." Kaname Tōsen replied respectfully, bowing his head, but his fists were clenched tightly.
It's the same Tokoyo Misao!
Aizen walked straight down the street ahead.
After walking just two streets, we arrived at the street corner outside a brand-new house, which could be considered a neighbor of the Tsunayashiro Clan.
However, to the Stealth Force lurking in the shadows, his figure appeared to be that of another person.
Tokoyo Misao was very satisfied with the new residence, and most of the money was provided by the Ōmaeda Trading Company.
The design and construction were all handled by the Ōmaeda Clan.
Of course, some projects within the Tokoyo Clan Trading Company were also handed over to the Ōmaeda Clan, resulting in exchanges of benefits and cooperation.
Otherwise, even Yoruichi Shihōin wouldn't have been able to get the Ōmaeda Clan to lose so much money to help.
A house of nearly 5,000 square meters is no small expense to repair.
The Ōmaeda Clan had many artisans, and they even produced and sold their own materials.
In addition, the artisans living in the noble district almost all have the physique of ordinary members of the Soul Reaper squad.
Building a house doesn't take much time at all.
Today, the inspection was finally completed, and we officially moved into the Tokoyo Clan mansion. We also held a housewarming party and invited a number of people.
Although the Ōmaeda Clan offered to provide some servants for the Tokoyo residence, Tokoyo Misao refused them all.
So now, this huge mansion is only being set up by a dozen or so members of the Tenth Division who are getting overtime pay.
There were none of the usual aristocratic servants, butlers, gardeners, or anything like that.
Only Tokoyo Misao himself could greet the guests at the main gate, since the guests who came today were quite special.
His gaze fell to the end of the street, and his eyes lit up when he saw the person approaching.
The man walking at the very front was none other than Byakuya Kuchiki, the current head of the Kuchiki Clan, one of the Five Great Noble Clans.
Half a step behind him was Rukia Kuchiki, who was also dressed impeccably, taking small steps with the demeanor of a well-bred lady.
Tokoyo Misao greeted him with a smile, "It's been a long time, Head of the Kuchiki Clan."
Byakuya Kuchiki glanced at the mansion's entrance, then looked through the open front gate into the front yard, his brow furrowing slightly.
"That's against the rules."
"We just moved, we'll hire workers to help later," Tokoyo Misao replied with a smile.
He certainly knew what the rules meant by Byakuya Kuchiki.
For a high-ranking nobleman, both the quantity and quality of his servants were of great importance.
However, he did not intend to hire servants, but rather to employ staff.
Byakuya Kuchiki did not dwell on this topic.
He strode forward and walked straight towards a pavilion in the front yard.
Rukia Kuchiki crossed her arms in front of her chest and bowed slightly.
"Thank you for the invitation, Head of the Tokoyo Clan."
"Alright, alright, let's go in now."
Tokoyo Misao waved his hand, clearly not used to Rukia's spoiled young lady demeanor.
Rukia slowly raised her head, her black, gem-like eyes fixed on her, a perfect smile playing on her lips.
"Then I shall respectfully comply."
She slowly turned around, taking measured steps, and walked to the pavilion, where she sat down next to her older brother Byakuya.
Ding ding ding.
A series of knocking sounds rang out.
At the end of the street, a huge sedan chair was being carried by eight burly men.
There were two guard teams in front of the sedan chair, and at least a hundred Punishment Force were secretly lying in ambush.
The sedan chair stopped in front of the Tokoyo Clan's gate. The curtain was opened, and a young man dressed in fine clothes stepped out.
It is none other than the current head of the Shihoin Clan, Yushiro Shihōin.
Strangely, he was also holding a black cat in his arms.
To outsiders, this is actually quite impolite.
But Tokoyo Misao knew the black cat's true identity and greeted it with a smile:
"Thank you for coming, Head of the Shihoin Clan."
"I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, Head of the Tokoyo Clan."
Yushiro chatted casually for a couple of minutes with a smile, then walked to the pavilion that had been set up in front and sat down opposite Byakuya Kuchiki.
"As expected of the Shihoin Clan, their pomp and circumstance are truly grand."
A spiky-haired man dressed in Soul Reaper uniform walked out from between two rows of guards.
He smiled and said:
"Sorry, sorry, I had a fight with the guards at the entrance to the noble district, which delayed me a bit."
"It's enough that you came, Head of the Shiba Clan," Tokoyo Misao replied with a smile.
"That's too formal."
"Misao, you know I don't like aristocratic formalities, just call me Kaien."
Kaien Shiba stated that he came primarily as a friend, not as a so-called nobleman.
"Alright, Kaien, you go in first. There's one last guest."
Tokoyo Misao's gaze fell to the end of the street, and he didn't bother with any more pleasantries.
"So you Shin'uchi gather all Five Great Noble Clans, huh?" Kaien Shiba scratched his head.
He turned around, walked into the pavilion in front, sat down, and greeted everyone with a smile.
"Byakuya, Yushiro, long time no see. The last one isn't really the Tsunayashiro Clan, is it?"
"Speaking of which, if the Tsunayashiro Clan really does send someone, and we're all gathered here, many of us won't be able to sleep tonight."
The gathering of the Five Great Noble Clans was unprecedented in a thousand years.
Let alone whether the people in the Central 46 Chambers or the Noble Council could sit still.
It's likely that even the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, is keeping a close eye on things right now.
A moment later, Tokoyo Misao also walked towards the pavilion.
A young man followed behind him, wearing a fake smile.
"Who is that guy? I don't know him," Kaien Shiba asked softly, scratching his head.
Byakuya Kuchiki looked up and glanced at it:
"He is the current head of the Tsunayashiro Clan, Tsunayashiro Tokinada."
"How come I've never heard of it?"
"The family separated and the child was adopted into the main family."
"I see."
Kaien Shiba nodded knowingly.
Tokoyo Misao also came to the stone table and waited for Tsunayashiro Tokinada to take his seat.
Then he raised his glass and said loudly:
Tonight, the Five Great Noble Clans have gathered together.
"Let us drink together."
Chapter 122 All Five Great Noble Clans Are Traitors
The atmosphere in the pavilion wasn't particularly lively; there was hardly any conversation.
After three cups of wine, even the usually outgoing Kaien Shiba could only awkwardly scratch his head.
The scene was somewhat quiet.
Tokoyo Misao didn't care.
He gathered all Five Great Noble Clans not to form an alliance, nor to seek genuine harmony.
So he stood up, waved his arms, and softly chanted:
"Light, bend your steps."
"I conceal myself between reality and illusion, my appearance a mirage, an elusive illusion."
"Bakudō #26: Kyokkō"
A curtain of light instantly enveloped the pavilion, blocking out all figures and sounds within.
Meanwhile, Punishment Force, the Stealth Force, and the spies from various noble families outside could only rush back to report.
Seemingly still not safe enough, Tokoyo Misao actually drew his Zanpakuto and released it.
"World-Crossing Principle."
Then, beams of light enveloped the entire pavilion.
The air and Reishi enveloping him were also entirely under his control.
Even if the Kidō priest came, he wouldn't be able to hear the sounds inside the pavilion without disrupting the Kyokkō.
Tokoyo Misao began, "I've invited everyone here today simply to confirm one thing."
"I'm confirming things, but I'm just a prodigal son who recently took over the family business, so I don't know much about the main family's affairs."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada responded in a playful tone.
"It's alright, as long as you're present representing the Tsunayashiro Clan," Tokoyo Misao replied.
However, in his eyes, the person sitting there at this moment was not Tsunayashiro Tokinada, but Sōsuke Aizen.
It must be said that Aizen's tone and demeanor Tokinada he was disguised were incredibly lifelike, without the slightest flaw.
"The Tokoyo Clan was entrusted with the duty of guarding Hell a thousand years ago, but based on my investigation over this period, I've discovered some suspicious points."
Tokoyo Misao's face turned cold, his smile vanished, and a chill crept into the air.
"Misao, what's wrong?" Kaien Shiba also noticed something was amiss and asked.
Byakuya Kuchiki and the black Yoruichi in Yushiro Shihōin's arms both looked up at the same time, their expressions serious.
They had long suspected that Tokoyo Misao was not the heir the Tokoyo Clan was grooming, and was likely the same as Tokinada.
