Returning to Soul Society at Last

"No matter what, we must be prepared. The Espada are not yet fully formed. In the future, their combat abilities may reach the Captain-level Espada, and at that time we will be powerless to conquer Hueco Mundo," Ye Yang objectively assessed.

Urahara nodded and said, "Yes, but right now we can only prepare and there's nothing we can do to stop it, right? Ye Yang, is your informant reliable?"

"Naturally, his life is in my hands, and he has no choice but to obey me," Ye Yang said to avoid any questions. He didn't want to talk about Ulquiorra and Nelliel.

"That's good. At least we know what's going on over there," Urahara said calmly.

"By the way, how are they?" Ye Yang suddenly asked.

Urahara gave a wry smile, "There's nothing we can do. They're hiding somewhere, but I know where. Do you want to go check on them?"

They were obviously referring to Hirako and the others. Ye Yang shook his head. "No, let's talk about it later..."

At this point, Yoruichi interjected, "What are you planning to do now?"

Ye Yang waved his hands dismissively. "I don't know. Didn't I come here to seek refuge with you? How could you bear to see me like this? Enough nonsense, quickly give me a Gigai that can conceal my Spiritual Pressure, and arrange an identity for me in the World of the Living."

"One isn't a problem, but identity..." Urahara trailed off.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Ye Yang asked.

"No, it's not that simple. It just requires replacing your memories. But what identity do you want? You know, this place has entered a semi-technological era now; you need a job to live here."

Ye Yang nodded knowingly. After all, he had lived in a technological age in his previous life and naturally knew the rules of that era. "Then how about a teacher? I'm better at that."

"Teacher? Hahaha... Well, that's what you do in Soul Society, so it's not a bad choice. But what kind of teacher are you planning to become?"

Yoruichi burst into laughter. "Hahaha... bro, you're going to be a teacher? I'm not saying this to be mean, but back in Soul Society you could be a teacher, but what are you going to teach in the World of the Living?"

Ye Yang remained expressionless and simply said, "Sports!"

Yoruichi's laughter abruptly stopped. Her face flushed slightly as she looked at the composed Ye Yang. She truly hadn't expected this subject. Physical education, to put it bluntly, was just leading students in play—a very simple job. Moreover, with Ye Yang's background, becoming a physical education teacher was absolutely no problem.

Ye Yang's lips curled into a smile, and he said in a teasing tone, "That's not all. Being an etiquette teacher wouldn't be bad either. After all, we used to be high-ranking nobles. Isn't that right, sis?" Ye Yang deliberately emphasized the word "noble," implying that Yoruichi now had no semblance of nobility. Back in Soul Society, although Yoruichi had a cheerful personality, she still maintained basic noble manners. But here, she had completely lost them.

Yoruichi said nonchalantly, "So what? I hate those tedious aristocratic etiquette anyway. Here, I don't have to be so restrained, so of course I can be more free."

Yoruichi sighed softly. It seemed Yoruichi really didn't intend to return to Soul Society. "Fine, let her be," she said, then added, "Indeed, why tie yourself to that place when there are no constraints? Whatever decision you make, I will support you."

"Thank you"

"Do we really need to say this between us? If you're grateful to me, then hurry up and let me become your uncle," Ye Yang said jokingly.

Yoruichi blushed again, whether from embarrassment or anger, or perhaps both. Yoruichi transformed into her black cat form and pounced on Ye Yang's face. However, Ye Yang didn't suffer the same treatment as Urahara. Yoruichi only grabbed his arm, leaving no marks on his face, and Ye Yang didn't bother to resist.

Urahara looked at Ye Yang with a resentful expression. Why was there such a big difference in the same situation? Ye Yang smiled helplessly and gave Urahara a look, "Oh well, I can't help it, thank you for your hard work..."

Urahara could only weep silently in his heart...

After the three of them had had their fun, they were tired. Ye Yang said, "It's late, let's go to sleep first. We can talk about everything tomorrow."

"Okay." "Mmm."

Ye Yang, exhausted from a long day, fell asleep soon after lying down, but Urahara couldn't sleep at all. On one hand, he was too excited to sleep because of Ye Yang's return and the joy of their long-awaited reunion, and on the other hand, he was worried about Aizen and didn't know what Aizen would do next.

Just then, a dark shadow flashed past the window, and a black cat stood on the windowsill. Urahara smiled knowingly and said, "So, Yoruichi, you can't sleep either."

Yoruichi the black cat suddenly jumped in and said, "Yes, can we really not go back? The place where I was born and raised..." Yoruichi's tone was filled with helplessness.

A glint of light flashed in Urahara's eyes. "I don't know. Even if we reveal Aizen's true colors, it won't help. Those old guys in the Central 46 won't let us go back. Come to think of it, the World of the Living isn't so bad after all. At least we're free here, aren't we?"

"Right..."

Yoruichi asked, "What do you plan to do about Aizen?"

Urahara shook his head helplessly. "There's nothing we can do now but remain still and wait for the right moment to react."

"Is that so? Well, that's the only way. Kisuke, don't you feel like my little brother has changed a lot? I have a strange feeling about him, but he seems more pleasing to the eye now." Yoruichi asked, though she didn't know exactly what had changed about Ye Yang, just a strange feeling.

Urahara nodded and slowly said, "Yes, I feel the same way. Back in Soul Society, he was very sharp and charismatic. Although he tried to hide it, he couldn't conceal his dazzling aura. There are some people who are the center of attention wherever they go, and he is that kind of person. Anyone with eyes can see that Ye Yang is hiding something, but they don't know how much he is hiding."

"But now..."

"Yes, that feeling is completely gone now. He's just like an ordinary person, so ordinary that people who don't know him would unconsciously overlook him. How to put it? Before, he was like a sharp sword, capable of hurting others but also hurting himself. Now, he's like a sword sheathed, its edge gone but even sharper. Those who underestimate him will pay a bloody price!"

Yoruichi remained silent; the reserved Ye Yang was exactly what she had always wanted to see. "Tell me," she said, "That I've left him with everything in Soul Society, isn't that putting him in a difficult position?"

Urahara replied, "While there is a little bit of that, there's nothing we can do about it, isn't there? Besides, Yoruichi, you're simply not cut out to be the head of the family. Ye Yang would be a much better fit, so don't worry about it."

"He's had a tough time..."

The next day, Urahara replaced the memories of a school principal, allowing Ye Yang to successfully become an ordinary teacher. From that moment on, Ye Yang began his life in the World of the Living, and another ten years passed.

These ten years were the most peaceful ten years Ye Yang had experienced since arriving in this world. There were no mission documents from Soul Society, no intrigue or backstabbing, no bloodshed or slaughter in Hueco Mundo, no need to be constantly on edge, and no need to worry about his safety.

Ye Yang lived his life peacefully. Since he was a modern person in his previous life, he quickly adapted to life in the World of the Living. As this was Jūreichi, some illusions were inevitable, but for him, it was nothing more than a matter of lifting a finger.

However, he did not expect that this simple act would unexpectedly save two children, who also possessed Spiritual Power. After Urahara found out, he took them into Urahara Shop to do some odd jobs. The shop was short of a few people to manage it, as Tessai Tsukabishi could not take care of them.

These are two children, a boy and a girl. The girl's name is Ururu Tsumugiya. She has two braids and a tuft of hair in front of her forehead that is split. She is kind-hearted and always has a puzzled expression on her face. She has a gentle personality and is often bullied by the other child but never fights back.

The boy's Jinta Hanakari. He has red hair and a rather irritable personality. He often bullies Ururu, also known as Ururu Tsumugiya. The two children work as errand boys for the Urahara Clan.

Under Urahara's training, the two children have at least gained the ability to protect themselves, and eliminating some ordinary Hollows shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, this was just a minor incident. Ye Yang seemed to have shed his former glory. Previously, due to decades of killing in Hueco Mundo, although he could conceal his true nature, his overwhelming killing intent would still leak out when he revealed his aura. But after ten years, Ye Yang could now control it at will.

Now that the fifty-year period for Soul Society has ended, he has no choice but to return, otherwise they will still think he is really dead. Of course, Ye Yang's first thought is of Soi Fon. "How are you doing now?"

Ye Yang then thought of the people in Soul Society. He wondered how his parents were doing. Could they keep the elders of the Shihoin Clan in check while he was away? He wondered if they had aged.

"Are you leaving?" Yoruichi asked, and it wasn't hard to see the sadness in her eyes. How much she wanted Ye Yang to stay, but she couldn't say that, because Soul Society was something she couldn't let go of, and she couldn't be so selfish.

"Yes, we're finally going back..." Ye Yang couldn't help but sigh, reflecting on the fifty years he had spent away from Soul Society. He had experienced both life in Hueco Mundo World of the Living, so it should be considered a worthwhile journey.

Urahara said, "Be careful when you get back; Aizen will definitely try everything to deal with you."

"Well, don't think that I haven't made any preparations in these fifty years," Ye Yang replied.

That's good.

Yoruichi sighed softly, "I entrust everything in Soul Society to you. Please give my regards to our parents, let them know we're safe, and send me a message no matter what."

"Um"

Ye Yang slowly drew his Zanpakuto and thrust it into the void, chanting, "Kaijō!" Then, a door appeared at the edge of Ye Yang's sword, and with a twist of the hilt, the door opened.

"Go, they need you over there, but remember, you're always welcome here if you get tired," Yoruichi said, her tone tinged with sadness.

"Okay, take care, goodbye."

Ye Yang stepped into the Senkaimon, silently chanting in his heart: Soul Society! I'm back!
