In Aizen's Sights

Gin Ichimaru still wore that smiling expression.

As if it could conceal his true thoughts.

Unfortunately.

Gin Ichimaru had spent centuries as an undercover agent.

Yet only when he was on the verge of death did he learn that Aizen had known his true intentions all along.

Aizen smiled. "That student named Lin Feng is indeed an interesting one. I pulled some intelligence on him, and I believe he has been hiding his strength. So, for this Akita Prefecture examination, I hope he can display as much of his strength as possible."

Nagano Yakumo and the others silently prayed that Lin Feng and Asai Reiko would be eaten by Hollows in the Living World!
