After Kuchiki Kyoka killed Central 46 and Kenpachi, Kenma thought he would escape from Seireitei, escape to Rukongai or Human World, and then wait for opportunities to counterattack.
But I didn't expect that Kuchiki Kyoka would be so brave and actually start a guerrilla fight with the Shinigamis who were chasing him in Seireitei.
On the first day of martial law at Seireitei, Kenpachi was hacked to death in front of more than 200 team members at the training ground;
That night, Captain of the Tenth Division was killed in the Tenth Division team building;
The next day, kill Captain of the Ninth Division;
In the afternoon, he tried to kill Eighth Division captain Kyōraku Shunsui, but failed. He escaped in time and killed Captain of the Seventh Division an hour later;
On the third day, after meeting Kuchiki Ginrei, he immediately attacked Fifth Division Captain Shinjī Hirako. As a result, he was ambushed by many captains and ran away seriously injured;
On the fourth day, a group of captains guarded Fourth Division Barracks, but Kuchiki Kyoka did not show up. Perhaps he was recuperating from his injuries, or perhaps he felt the strength of many captains. He made the whole Seireitei into a state of turmoil;
On the fifth day, Captain of the Third Division was killed in the Fourth Division cafeteria in the early morning. Great Kidō Master found his trace in the evening, and was sealed by Captain-General Yamamoto and Kuchiki Ginrei.
For five consecutive days, they slaughtered many members of Central 46 Sage, Four Great Noble Clans, Tsunayashiro, and the four captains.
Kuchiki Kyoka's impressive performance really shocked many Shinigami!
The most shocked among them was Kenma himself.
Every time he heard about Kuchiki Kyoka's new record, he would take out the Muramasa and take a look to make sure it was in his own hands.
Then, I felt even more shocked.
In other words, Kuchiki Kyoka killed four Shinigami captains without Zanpakuto, and broke through the encirclement surrounded by other captains.
The captains who surrounded them were all powerful men like Yamamoto Shigekuni, Kuchiki Ginrei, Kyōraku Shunsui, and Shinjī Hirako.
Damn, this is still a human being!
Why didn't you realize that Kuchiki Kyoka is so awesome before?
Kenma even suspected that someone was secretly helping him.
For example, a mysterious man with glasses who did not want to be named helped him with Illusion in an attempt to make Soul Society more chaotic.
Of course, Kenma himself also took advantage of this opportunity to arrange for people to secretly do some small and shady things...
Later, through the multi-faceted Shinigami's retelling, Kenma noticed one thing.
When Kuchiki Kyoka was fighting those captains, he said Zanpakuto's Release Command many times.
During the battle, it did happen many times that Zanpakuto suddenly slashed at Shinigami.
The only person who can do such a thing is Muramasa.
And Muramasa is in the hands of Kenma.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for Shinigami to continue to liberate Zanpakuto's abilities without Zanpakuto.
Can--
Kenma knows that this is not impossible!
As far as he knew, there were two existing examples.
One is Aizen in Thousand-Year Blood War. At that time, Aizen had evolved to a higher dimension. Zanpakuto merged with himself and could freely activate the ability of Illusion by relying on its own will and Spiritual Pressure.
It even affected the somatosensory time of Yhwach.
The second example is Kenma himself!
Because of the special ability of [Kiritsugu], as long as he moves the connecting thread, he can liberate Zanpakuto from a distance!
Of course, his approach was somewhat tricky.
But how did Kuchiki Kyoka do it?
Muramasa is in his hands, but it is still sealed.
Whether it's like Aizen who merges and evolves with Zanpakuto, or like him, who relies on the uniqueness of Zanpakuto's abilities, it won't be that easy to use them.
Ugh, headache!
I can't understand it at all.
"Lord Kenma looks quite troubled, but if there is anything I can do for you, I will try my best to complete it."
In the study room, a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair was sitting at the bottom, a little reserved. Seeing the dull look on the superior Kenma's face, he immediately expressed his sincerity.
Kenma came back to his senses and temporarily suppressed the confusion in his heart. Before he could speak, Yoruichi said at the side, "Don't worry about this prude. Who knows what dark thoughts he has."
The middle-aged and elderly man quickly lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
The flirting between the host's Head of the Family husband and wife was obviously not something that his Shikokuin Family subordinate superior Noble could get involved in.
Seeing Yoruichi complaining about herself like this, Kenma rolled her eyes and looked back at the man below.
"Don't be so formal. Neither Yoruichi nor I are unreasonable people.
"Yes--yes."
This man kept saying yes but did not dare to raise his head.
Kenma did not dwell on such trivial matters and asked, "Have you written down all the things I just said?"
"Yes, I have written them all down to make sure there are no omissions."
"That's good. This matter is related to the future of the Shikokuin Family. You must proceed with caution."
Kenma nodded and continued, "Next time we meet, it's your turn to sit at the top. I'll be at the bottom, the new Central 46's Grand Judge."
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" the man said respectfully, "This family has been the vassal of the Shikokuin Family for generations. It was, is, and will be in the future. I don't dare to show any disrespect to the master's family."
"Central 46, Grand Judge's virtuous reputation, cannot change this."
"Besides, I'm just a nomination and haven't voted yet, so I don't dare to claim it in advance."
Kenma smiled in his heart and said in a deep voice, "How can we vote? Nearly half of the people in Central 46 are from the Shikokuin Family, and there are four judges."
"If someone can still make a comeback like this, then wouldn't the people who were killed by Kuchiki Kyoka die in vain?"
"Lord Kenma is right."
The man below lowered his posture, forcing himself to ignore the murderous intention hidden in Kenma's words, and kept nodding and bowing in agreement with his tone.
Central 46 was slaughtered, and Yamamoto Shigekuni, after sealing Kuchiki Kyoka, the first thing he did was to re-establish the new Central 46.
And this gave Shikokuin Family an opportunity.
Now Soul Society Five Noble Clans, the family only focuses on Hell and never interferes with Seireitei.
Among the remaining four, the decline of the Shiba Family, plus the dislike of this aspect, has almost no impact on Central 46 and can be ignored.
Tsunayashiro Clan was brutally slaughtered, leaving only a few light-weight branch families, barely occupying one judge and five or six sages.
Kuchiki Family is keeping a low profile because of Kyouka's affairs, and gave up almost half of the seats.
Except for those sages selected from other factions or civilians, most of the remaining seats have been assigned to the Shikokuin Family.
Kenma arranged the vassals of the Shikokuin Family one by one.
Even due to the shortage of manpower, Hachi Family had a retired old man with sick legs who was slipped out by Kenma and stuffed into Central 46, becoming a sage who manages Soul Society.
The middle-aged man in front of him was assigned to the position of Grand Judge by Kenma because he had been loyal for generations and was senior enough.
In this way, through the chaos caused by Kuchiki Kyoka, Shikokuin Family somehow became the ultimate profiteer.
Kenma looked at the man below and asked, "So, Grand Judge, what will be the first thing you do after you take charge of Soul Society's affairs?"
The man immediately replied, "Yes, Kuchiki Kyoka is sentenced and imprisoned in Muken."
"Okay." Kenma nodded, "There are a few more things to do next, do you remember them?"
"Yes, the second thing is accountability--"
Before the man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Kenma: "Just remember, do it, don't say more."
"I understand."
"That's good, step back.
Kenma After waving his hand, the man walked out of the study step by step.
Yoruichi withdrew his gaze and looked unceremoniously at Kenma beside him.
"Hey, when did my little Shikokuin Family son-in-law become so powerful?"
"This is the seventh sage I met today, right? Even the dignified future Central 46 and Grand Judge can come and go at the drop of a hat."
Yoruichi's words are strange, and there is an extremely deep feeling of dissatisfaction.
Kenma was speechless and looked at his wife.
"Yoruichi--Are you still blaming me?"
"You blame me for notifying father and grounding you?"
