Chapter 473
Jushiro Ukitake also recounted the events of the meeting to Chen Fan. Jushiro Ukitake and Byakuya Kuchiki, the captain of the 6th Division, attended the meeting together. It wasn't that Chen Fan wasn't invited separately, but rather that there was no need to disturb so many captains. Only Jushiro Ukitake, the captain in question, and Byakuya Kuchiki, who was Kuchiki Rukia's family member, attended.
"Chen Fan! Don't you find it strange? Rukia's crimes are lending spiritual power to others without permission and losing it, plus failing to return on time. This is undoubtedly a serious crime. The problem lies in how this matter was handled. The Gigai was immediately returned and then destroyed, the probation period was shortened from thirty-five days to twenty-five days, and the Sōkyoku, which is only used against Shinigami other than the captain, was used. All of this is unusual. I feel that this was done under someone's will. Do you have any clues?" Jushiro Ukitake said something that shocked everyone present.
Chen Fan couldn't help but admire his former boss; he thought things through thoroughly and accurately. However, Chen Fan couldn't tell the people present the truth yet. Besides, this time it was just a close call, and if they managed to get Aizen, this troublesome guy, it would be perfect if things went according to the script.
"I don't know much about it either, but we need to be prepared," Chen Fan said.
After finishing explaining most of the things, Kaien Shiba saw Chen Fan off.
"Kaien, where has your younger sister been staying lately?" Chen Fan Yoruichi his head and asked. There was no way around it; Yoruichi had been summoned to the Human World by Kisuke Urahara help, and he'd most likely Yoruichi. Yoruichi and Kūkaku Shiba's relationship wasn't as good as it appeared in the anime, and it was all because of him.
Kaien Shiba was slightly taken aback at first, but after a moment he finally reacted and exclaimed happily, "Oh...! You're finally going to agree to be my brother-in-law? This is truly something to celebrate!"
"Is Kukaku still the same mischievous girl she used to be?" Chen Fan asked cautiously. When Kaien Shiba introduced his younger sister to him, she was a naughty, blond-haired girl, and quite the boss. He wondered what she looked like after all these years.
"Kukaku has grown into a stunning beauty. You'll be shocked when you see her!" Kaien Shiba said mysteriously. Back then, Kaien Shiba had praised his sister to the skies, Chen Fan didn't even dare to recall the final scene. Although this time it wasn't quite as exaggerated, Chen Fan still had a bad feeling. Sigh, let's go see for ourselves.
Chapter Fifty-Five: Kukaku (Fifth Update)
(Chapter 55 Kukaku)
The next day, Chen Fan followed Kaien Shiba's instructions and the hand-drawn map to find Kūkaku Shiba's house. Kūkaku Shiba was a wanderer and could not be said to appear anywhere. This time, it was a deserted place with no houses around.
After carefully comparing the map, it seemed they were almost there. When Chen Fan looked up, he saw a small house sitting on an open space, with a large chimney towering behind it, looking very arrogant. Thinking about it, it did seem somewhat similar.
On either side of the house are two rock-made arms holding up a large banner with four large characters: "Kūkaku Shiba".
It's still so eye-catching, and has such a unique taste, but I really don't want to go in. Chen Fan slapped his forehead speechlessly and cried out in his heart.
But there was no other way but to go in anyway; even Chen Fan was hesitant about going in with such a uniquely tasteful girl.
Suddenly, two voices rang out, "Wait!" Chen Fan looked up and saw two people standing on the stone fist.
"Who exactly are you? You're acting suspiciously, and you look like a shifty-eyed fox. You're a suspicious guy, you don't look like a good person at all." The two men jumped off their fists, put their arms around Chen Fan's shoulders, and stood in front of him.
"I am Kin Yan!"
"I am Gin Yan!"
"We absolutely will not let you pass!" the two said in unison.
"Um... where is that sneaky, shifty-eyed, suspicious guy?" Chen Fan looked around and asked.
"Where are you looking, you bastard? We were just talking about you!" Kin Yan and Gin Yan shouted angrily at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan pointed to himself with a surprised expression, then waved his hand and said, "Me? How could that be? How could someone as handsome and dashing as me be the guy you're talking about? It must be someone else; you've mistaken me for someone else."
"How could we be wrong!" Then, after carefully examining Chen Fan, he said, "Black clothes."
"It looks like the Shinigami's Shinigami uniform."
"She was also wearing a white haori."
"Is this guy the captain of the Shinigami?"
There is a cross on the back.
"Black and white hair!"
