The next day, somewhere in a remote wilderness in Rukongai outside the Seireitei.
Uchiha Yoru arrived at the agreed location on time and spotted three figures from afar.
Sōsuke Aizen, along with Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen standing not far beside him.

Yoru calmly walked closer, his gaze passing over Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen.

Of course, one of them was a double agent.

Who would have thought that this man, who looked like a villain from the moment he appeared, would turn out to be a good man who had endured for a hundred years?
Kaname Tōsen gave a slight nod in
