Jun's words finally made the four kids realize that Soul Society was no place to play around. Although they were mentally prepared, unlike in the original story, the power of Soul Society was now much greater.
Then this group asked Junichi questions, such as where Rukia was now. She was in that tower from the original work, the tail of the Gotei 13, the North the Senkaimon. There was a high ground there, and on it was a floating path. The fourth tower at the end of that path was the Fourth Prison of the Confession Palace.
That place is where Soul Society's protective capabilities are deployed. The upper levels of these prisons are equipped with Soul Society's most powerful alarm system—the kind that alerts Vasto Lorde- class Garganta. Because getting here requires passing through the Gotei 13, this is truly the best prison.
However, the number of criminals in Soul Society who actually need to be imprisoned is not that many. For example, Sōya Azashiro and Kōga Kuchiki from the original work were both sentenced directly by the Central 46 and then immediately the Jail upon capture.
Otherwise, someone like Kūgo Ginjō would just be killed with a single blow once caught. There are very few people in Soul Society who need to await execution. Therefore, this Sōkyoku Execution is truly remarkable and a rare sight.
After telling them where Rukia, Jun left with Isuzu. Back home, Jun hugged his wife, and Isuzu hugged Jun back. They didn't speak, just held each other quietly until Jun sensed something moving.
"Ugh, these kids are so impulsive," I'm utterly speechless. Can't they give their sweethearts some time to be affectionate?
Isuzu kissed Jun, "Okay~, stop being childish, go do what you need to do. It's almost over, don't cause any problems."
Okay~ Wait for me at home.
"Hmm~, what do you have at home? I'll make you something to eat."
He scratched his face awkwardly, "How can I have the time to cook when you're not home?"
"Honestly, they don't take care of themselves at all~"
"Haha, I will in the future," Jun kissed Isuzu and instantly disappeared from the room. A few seconds later, Jun reappeared in the Tenth Division.
"Calm down!" Junichi shouted, and all the members of the Tenth Division stopped. Jun deliberately asked, "What happened?"
Tōshirō rushed out of the office, "Captain!"
"Don't panic, what happened?"
"Reporting to the captain, we don't know yet."
"I see~", Chun picked at his ear, looking extremely lazy. "That's not our business. Anyone who wants to go watch the show can go. The rest of you can stay in the team and wait."
"Yes!"
The team members all responded to Jun, and then the Tenth Division became orderly. Jun led Tōshirō and Rangiku back to the office. "Tōshirō, do you want to go out and take a look?"
"Uh, it's alright."
"Haha, it's rare to see you so calm."
What could Tōshirō say? That he was an impatient person? Jun led the two to his office, took out a tea set, thought for a moment, and handed it to Rangiku. This wasn't the first time Rangiku had done this; a whole fancy performance, but all she did for Jun was brew tea. Given Jun's current status, everyone knew he liked brewing tea.
What do you think is going on with all this chaos outside?
"Captain, do you know something?"
"I don't know," Chun smiled and shook her head, "But I can guess. What's been bothering you lately that makes you want to smash something?"
Tōshirō frowned. "You mean Kuchiki -kun's matter?"
"Hmm? I don't know."
Tōshirō, however, refused to play guessing games with Jun, saying, "But even if you disagree with Kuchiki -kun's verdict, you shouldn't..."
Jun looked at the Little Lion with a half-smile, "Oh my, oh my~, I didn't expect Tōshirō Hitsugaya, would disagree."
Tōshirō looked uncomfortable, his brow furrowed. "This... this is indeed a bit too much."
"But why is no one objecting? Shouldn't excessive things be questioned?"
"This," Tōshirō glanced at Jun, "If it's you..."
Chun scoffed, "You really want me to go?"
Seeing Jun's attitude, the Little Lion immediately started thinking, then realized he hadn't considered things carefully enough. He couldn't let Jun go because of Jun's current status—a hero of Soul Society, leader of the Expedition force—all these identities made Jun different.
However, Junichi and the Central 46, it would be no joke. It's a classic case of two tigers fighting, and one will inevitably be injured. Given the current weakness of the Central 46, if Central 46 were to intervene, their reputation would be completely tarnished.
Sorry~
"Your apology doesn't make any sense. I'm not blaming you for anything."
You must know something.
Tōshirō's tone was very certain. The Little Lion is a very sensitive person, but unfortunately, he's a total sly old fox, one of the worst in the entire Soul Society when it comes to being careless.
"Emmm, I don't know."
The Little Lion was furious. He downed his tea in one gulp, stood up, and said, "Then I'll go see what's going on."
"Hmm~, go early and come back early."
The four-person group appeared from the Shihoin Family, so who would know this news first? The answer is Soi Fon.
Generally speaking, what the Second Division knows is equivalent to what all Soul Reaper know, but Soi Fon is a proud girl. She wasn't influenced by her family, mainly because she was born late; she was born after becoming a hero of Soul Society.
Furthermore, Soi Fon is quite the martial arts fanatic; she dislikes all the messy politics and only Isshin on projecting her own ideas onto Yoruichi.
Because Yoruichi a woman, a woman who rose to the position of Second Division Captain through her own strength, Soi Fon wasn't stupid. She could see the situation in the Second Division, but in her understanding, it was a man's rebellion against a woman in power. Therefore, she admired Yoruichi even more.
However, Soi Fon was unaware that her family was the very culprit behind Yoruichi's most painful ordeal. Soi Fon's father was the leader of the Punishment Force, the highest-ranking retainer of the Shihoin Family, and the head of the Fon Clan.
Therefore, Yoruichi dislikes Soi Fon quite a bit, but Soi Fon doesn't know this. When Soi Fon and Yoruichi disagree on values, she thinks that Yoruichi's different views are because she betrayed Soul Society.
Her reason for attacking Yoruichi was singular: Yoruichi's defection, betraying not only Soul Society but also her own beliefs and aspirations. However, Yoruichi's dislike of Soi Fon wasn't based on this at all. Later, after their fight, Yoruichi Soi Fon that the girl knew nothing and was simply a devoted fan.
What kind of expression do you think Yoruichi? Her greatest enemy's daughter was her devoted fan, and she knew nothing about what happened back then. Yoruichi must be so upset.
But regardless of what happened back then, it had nothing to do with the child, so Yoruichi forgave Soi Fon.
So now that Soi Fon has received this news, her first action is to order everyone in the Second Division, including the Punishment Force, to prevent the news from spreading. And then what did she go to do? She went to the Shihoin Family to catch Yoruichi.
This thought process is truly baffling. So the four little ones were let off the hook. Then, having obtained a map from Yoruichi after getting information about Rukia's location, they followed it forward and unwittingly stumbled upon a patrol from the Seventh Division.
The four children spotted the patrol team from afar. Ichigo's reconnaissance abilities were superior to those of the Seventh Division, and the Seventh Division wasn't allowed to use the Kakushitsuijaku) because their patrol area included the Kakushitsuijaku Gotei 13. Would the squad leaders really allow you to patrol in circles like that?
So they couldn't open fire, and the Seventh Division was helpless. This gave Ichigo an opportunity. Ichigo assessed the distance and planned a coordinated attack. Ichigo in and knocked down several enemies, then Sado and Orihime each took one down. Uryū, however, was left out because his abilities weren't suitable.
The plan was perfect; Ichigo to Shunpo in, spin around, and Zangetsu in a full circle with the back of his blade. But then a problem arose: the last person in his circle reacted and drew their sword.
As mentioned before, these patrol missions occasionally involve a handful of high-ranking members, Ichigo were just unlucky enough to run into Asada Ayu, the Third Seat of the Seventh Division.
"Who goes there!? Slice him to pieces! Shattered Iron Pill!" Shikai Asada Ayu Shikai, his sword growing larger and thicker, half the size of Zangetsu, and slashed fiercely at Ichigo.
On the other side, Sado knocked down one with a single punch, and Orihime's Santen Kesshun also knocked down another, leaving only Asada Ayu in the team. Asada Ayu wasn't reckless; he immediately shouted, and did so with the power of the Tenteikūra.
This is the completely altered world line. In the original world line, even if the Vice-Captains were attacked, how Third Seat of them could use the Tenteikūra...
This caused quite a stir. The group was located behind the Sixth Division barracks, and although they had actually run quite a distance, it was fortunate that they were behind the barracks, preventing the group on the training ground from closing in immediately.
"Retreat!"
"You guys go first!!"
Even so, the four realized things had gotten out of hand. In an instant, Uryū told everyone to retreat, Ichigo told the others to retreat first. Just then, a cat suddenly appeared and kicked Asada Ayu unconscious.
"Run!"
The group then quickly retreated. However, the time it took to speak must have been at least a second or two. The distance from the playground to the back of the barracks was less than a thousand meters. For many Soul Reapers, this was a matter of three to five Shunpo, taking less than three seconds. Therefore, the Soul Reapers caught them red-handed in their escape.
Ichigo and Uryū are easy to deal with; one has Shunpo and the other has Hirenkyaku, both movement skills. But how are Sado and Orihime supposed to escape? Luckily, Byakuya isn't on duty today. Because of Rukia, Aozumi and Byakuya got into an argument, so the Kuchiki Clan is in chaos. Otherwise, none of Byakuya would be able to escape.
Seeing the crowd behind him, Ichigo immediately stopped and shouted, "You guys get out of here!"
Uryū proved himself with his actions, summoning his bow and unleashing a "Light of Rain."
This move was originally intended to be launched from the sky down to the ground, but now Uryū used it as a horizontal shot. Ichigo, hearing the sound, used Shunpo to retreat, and then unleashed a barrage of spirit arrows at the pursuing Soul Reaper.
The Quincy haven't appeared for so many years; how many Soul Reaper in Soul Society even remember them? A group of Soul Reaper tried to block with their swords or use their protective Spiritual Power, but they didn't know the Quincy's most fundamental power: the ability to Spiritual Power Erasure.
During his training, Uryū was specifically trained to Spiritual Power Erasure and was told that this ability could save everyone in critical moments. So, after Uryū's arduous training, this is the result.
At the very center of these arrows lies the power of obliteration, a power that vanishes once it travels a certain distance from Uryū. This is the Quincy's most fundamental and powerful force, which is why Uryū cannot leave that spot.
And these erasing powers lived up to Uryū's expectations. Blade Body who tried to block with their Zanpakuto were obliterated, and those who tried to withstand it with their protective Spiritual Power instantly pierced. Uryū aimed for the Soul Reaper's chest, abdomen, or lower body, which is why none of them died. However, quite a few Soul Reaper were covered in eyes.
This attack terrified the Soul Reaper had come out to pursue them, and they could only watch as Uryū calmly retreated. They had weathered this attack, but the four-man team's mission had ended in failure.
