The Decision

Yoruichi, who had rescued Urahara and the Great Kidō Master, quickly led them to the underground base. When Yoruichi arrived, Ye Yang had already been waiting for half an hour. Yoruichi put Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi down and took off the clothes and mask covering her.

Urahara touched his wrist and said, "Thank you, Yoruichi, Ye Yang."

Yoruichi said calmly, "No need to thank me. As for why you didn't inform us about this last night, I'll teach you a lesson later."

Ye Yang said, "My older sister and I split up. She went to rescue you, while I moved all eight of them here, along with the new type of Gigai you've been researching."

"Thank you, Ye Yang," Urahara said.

At this moment, Yoruichi said impatiently, "Hurry up and do it! Try to imagine the worst-case scenario and the countermeasures to deal with it from the moment Hirako mentioned this incident."

Urahara looked at Yoruichi's initially confused eyes, then turned to her with a smile. "You've seen right through me. How annoying."

Ye Yang: "Tch." He didn't believe that Urahara wouldn't have a countermeasure. Among the three of them, Urahara's IQ was the highest, and even Ye Yang had to admit that.

Urahara turned to the Great Kidō Master Tessai Tsukabishi, and said, "Mr. Tessai, please use Time Stop on Captain Hirako, and then create at least two or three layers of barriers around here." Urahara's face was now serious. "Within the next 20 hours, I will create 10 Spiritual Pressure blocking type Gigai for the two of us and Hirako's group of eight."

Meanwhile, Tessai Tsukabishi looked at Yoruichi and Ye Yang and asked, "And what about Lord Yoruichi and Ye Yang?"

Yoruichi: "Don't worry about us, we won't be implicated."

Urahara said calmly, "I will immerse myself in reality, spend the time, and do everything in my power to figure it out. I will definitely find a way to remove the Hollowfication!"

Ye Yang looked at Hirako and his group. Although he didn't know the specifics of that night, Aizen was truly remarkable for managing to get three Captain-level, including Hirako state. "Kisuke, do you know the details of last night?"

Urahara shook his head. "I don't know. They were already like this when I arrived. And it wasn't just Aizen; there were two others. One was Kaname Tōsen from the Ninth Division, and the other..." Urahara looked at Ye Yang, "... the other is your prized disciple— Gin Ichimaru!"

"What!" Although Ye Yang already knew that Gin Ichimaru along with Aizen, he never imagined that Gin was involved in this matter! He never expected it to be like this...

Although Ye Yang had known for a long time that Gin would betray him, he still taught him wholeheartedly back then. In his previous life, when Ye Yang watched anime, he noticed that Gin's gaze towards Rangiku was subtle but full of love. In this life, when Ye Yang met them, he became even more certain of this. Although Gin appeared to be distant from Rangiku, the tenderness in his eyes could not be hidden.

Ye Yang believed that someone so deeply devoted to love couldn't possibly be a bad person. He suspected there was some unspeakable reason why Aizen betrayed Aizen. Ye Yang was shocked that Gin would do such a thing. Ye Yang made up his mind that no matter what his reasons were, since he had hurt the people around him, he would make him pay the price in the future!

Meanwhile, Gin, who was discussing matters with Aizen in the Fifth Division, suddenly sneezed. Aizen asked, "What's wrong, Gin? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yin chuckled and replied, "No, maybe someone is missing me..."

Seeing Ye Yang's expression, Urahara thought he was blaming himself, so Gin comforted him, saying, "Ye Yang, don't blame yourself. After all, no one knew this would happen."

Ye Yang nodded and said to Yoruichi, "Let's go. This is a tense period, and if we stay here too long, it will arouse suspicion. Urahara, we're leaving now."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Ye Yang and Yoruichi then left the underground base, but just as Ye Yang was about to go back, Yoruichi stopped him. Ye Yang asked, "What's wrong? Let's go back quickly; the squad can't do without us."

Yoruichi remained motionless, silently staring blankly at a flock of birds in the sky. Ye Yang walked over and patted her on the shoulder. "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Yoruichi turned to look at Ye Yang: "If only we could fly freely in the sky like birds, ignoring worldly affairs, soaring on our own."

Hearing this, Ye Yang roughly understood Yoruichi's thoughts. "The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. Although there are many constraints here, I believe my sister, Yoruichi Shihōin, has never been bound by fate! Go, break free of the shackles of destiny, follow your true heart, you are you!"

Yoruichi's body trembled, the confusion in her golden eyes gradually faded, and her confident gaze shone brightly once more. Looking at Yoruichi like this, he knew that the original Yoruichi had returned. "Have you figured it out?" Ye Yang asked.

Yoruichi's face was filled with determination, and her tone was filled with unwavering resolve. "Yes! I'll stay here! I'll leave the matters of the squad and the family to you."

Ye Yang smiled, "No problem, have you decided?"

"Yes!"

"No regrets?"

"I will never regret it!"

Ye Yang's smile deepened, "Then, I'll head back now, to avoid arousing suspicion."

"Alright," Yoruichi, watching Ye Yang as he was about to get up and leave. But Yoruichi she called him back, "Brother, please explain this to Soi Fon for me."

A mocking smile spread across Ye Yang's face, "What do you mean? Did you elope with Kisuke?"

A blush immediately rose on Yoruichi's tanned face. "Are you asking for it? What elopement nonsense?"

"What do you mean by 'kidnapping'? Can't you say something nicer?"

Ye Yang remained silent, and the two sat in awkward silence...

Finally, Yoruichi broke the silence, "Hey bro, take care of Soi Fon for me."

"Tch, I could do it even if you didn't tell me," Ye Yang said dismissively.

Yoruichi rare smile, "You're actually talking about me? Haven't you been eyeing Soi Fon, that innocent Shiro-chan, for a while now? But you have good taste, treat her well."

Ye Yang had already turned his head and walked into the distance, waving his hand without looking back. "Yes, yes, I'm going back first. Don't notify me when you leave." After saying that, Shunpo into the distance and left.

Yoruichi watched Ye Yang's departing figure, a sense of melancholy welled up in her heart. However, she remained calm and turned to walk towards the underground base without hesitation.

It was already dark when Ye Yang returned to the Second Division. Soi Fon had been waiting inside for a long time, but seeing that Ye Yang was alone, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ye Yang, you're back. Wasn't Lady Yoruichi with you?"

Ye Yang hesitated for a moment before replying, "She said she had something to take care of and might not be back tonight."

Her eyes dimmed slightly, but quickly brightened again. "Brother Ye Yang, when will Lady Yoruichi Ye return?"

Looking at Soi Fon's innocent smile, Ye Yang couldn't bear to say that she wouldn't be coming back, so he said, "Of course she'll come back after she finishes her business. You've had a busy day, so get some rest."

"Okay, goodnight, Brother Ye Yang."

Goodnight, Shaoling.

Not long after Soi Fon left, a Punishment Force entered. "Lieutenant Ye Yang, orders have come from the Central 46: Twelfth Division Captain Kisuke Urahara defected. Please have Lady Yoruichi dispatch the Punishment Force to arrest him."

This was within Ye Yang's expectations. He couldn't openly disobey the orders of the Central 46, so he said, "Yoruichi is out on business today. You pass on my order: have the second squad go out and search. If they find anything, don't act rashly and come back to report to me immediately. You are no match for him, understand?"

"Yes!"

Ye Yang walked outside and looked at the new moon in the sky. "I wonder how things are going with you all," he thought. "This is all I can do..."

The following morning, the news was relayed to every division: Former Twelfth Division Captain Kisuke Urahara was sentenced to permanent exile to the World of the Living for allegedly conducting forbidden experiments. However, Kisuke Urahara refused to comply and has now defected to the World of the Living. The Central 46, after a meeting, decided to add him to the Soul Society's kill list! Upon discovery, he will be killed without exception! The former Grand Kidō Master, for using forbidden Kidō in collusion with Kisuke Urahara, is sentenced to the same crime as Kisuke Urahara! Of the eight individuals involved in this evil experiment— Third Division Captain Fifth Division Captain Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi, Captain of the Seventh Division Love Aikawa Shinji Hirako, Captain of the Ninth Division Kensei Muguruma, Eighth Division Captain Lisa Yadōmaru, Ninth Division Vice-Captain Mashiro Kuna, 9th Division Vice-Captain Hiyori Sarugaki, Twelfth Division Vice-Captain Hiyori Kakizaru, and Vice Grand Kidō Master Hachigen Ushōda —their Spiritual Pressure has inexplicably disappeared, and their whereabouts are currently unknown. Preliminary assessments suggest they may have been murdered. The Soul Society will investigate and find the captains of each division.

The news caused an uproar! The loss of four captains, three vice-captains, and one powerful Kidō master was the most devastating loss in the history of Soul Society!

However, Ye Yang didn't know why the Central 46 announced that several captains had been murdered. They should know very well that Hirako and the others were still alive. Also, they only said that Urahara was involved in forbidden experiments, attributing the disappearance of Hirako and the others to Urahara, without specifying what kind of experiments. After all, the appearance of the word "Hollowfication" would cause panic.

All the squads were in a state of despair, but the most heartbroken of them all was Shunsui Kyōraku. He was filled with deep regret, regretting why he had sent Yadōmaru out. He was drinking alone in the captain's office, while his friend Jūshirō Ukitake sat opposite him, not knowing what to say to comfort him. He simply drank with Shunsui.

Yamamoto was furious! Already hot-tempered, and with this incident, the Central 46, the Captain-Commander of the Thirteenth Division, naturally told him everything. Upon hearing that it was Kisuke Urahara's fault, he immediately wanted to go out and kill him, but his lieutenant stopped him. Urahara's Spiritual Pressure had completely disappeared, leaving no trace. The frustrated old man was currently unleashing his Spiritual Pressure in the First Division.
