No Time to Lose, Set Out Now

"What do you mean, whose side am I on? You know about controlling the five senses, but you don't know that's Aizen's ability?"

Yoruichi Shihoin stared at Kurosaki Ichigo with a dark expression. The moment she had returned today, she had felt that something was off about this brat in front of her.

No, not just since she had returned today.

Even when she had brought him to Soul Society back then, something had already seemed a little off.

Did this kid know far too much about Soul Society?

But aside from her, where could Kurosaki Ichigo have heard such information? It couldn't have come from the Rukon District, could it?

"Hah? How could controlling the five senses possibly be Aizen's ability? If you said it was Ross's ability, that would be one thing. More likely, it's Shunsui Kyoraku's ability," Kurosaki Ichigo scoffed.

"I saw Aizen's ability with my own eyes. Could that be fake?" Yoruichi Shihoin frowned slightly.

"I saw Ross use an ability that controlled the five senses with my own eyes too. Are you stupid? If his ability controls the five senses, how can you be sure what you saw wasn't fake?" Kurosaki Ichigo said with utter disdain.

"Eh? That actually makes sense, kid!"

Yoruichi Shihoin froze for a moment, unsure how to refute Kurosaki Ichigo.

In truth, she had not actually seen Aizen.

After all, Kisuke Urahara had been the one who rescued Shinji Hirako that night. Kisuke Urahara had seen Aizen appear with his own eyes, accompanied by Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname, and Aizen had openly admitted that he was the mastermind.

What she had personally witnessed was Kisuke Urahara arguing at cross-purposes with those sages in Central 46 Chambers that day. That was what had confirmed for her that Aizen possessed that ability.
