Spirit Pressure That Shocked the Entire Audience

"It looks so sweet."

"That's right, Ryūjin Jakka is indeed something else." Tsuna said, staring at the two roasted sweet potatoes in front of him without turning his head.

"Can I have one after it's baked?"

"Share half when we meet? You have quite the nerve." Tsuna had only brought two sweet potatoes with him in his haste.

After a long silence, the man said slowly, "Name your terms."

"What?"

"You don't interfere with my conditions."

"Our relationship isn't as close as mine with other people." Tsuna didn't agree, his hands constantly turning the sweet potato, as if the matter at hand was the most important thing.

"With your strength, do you still need to associate with these mortals?"

"I'm just an ordinary person. As long as others don't disturb my life, I have no interest in hindering the ideals of strangers," Tsuna said calmly.

The man understood that this was a condition proposed by Tsuna. After thinking for a while, he said, "I can leave Karakura Town untouched."

"That's not enough. You can't cause trouble in the World of the Living," Tsuna stated his condition.

"You're asking for too much."

"Ha, I don't want Karakura Town to become an isolated island in the World of the Living."

The fact that Karakura Town remains untouched doesn't mean he won't touch other areas. What's the point if he wipes out all the other regions and only Karakura Town remains in the World of the Living?

After a long while, he said, "Okay, but you can't lay a hand on me."

"A delaying tactic?"

The other party was somewhat annoyed. He did indeed intend to do this: first, agree to Tsuna's conditions, and after getting what he wanted, everything would be up to him.

"Fine, that's settled then. You pursue your dreams, I'll live my life. I'll only play support roles at most, as requested by a friend."

In Tsuna's opinion, it's better to take revenge himself, as that gives him a greater sense of accomplishment.

"Deal." He agreed quickly, never expecting that Tsuna wouldn't lift a finger and that the previous offer was just an exorbitant price.

While Tsuna was chatting, his fellow members of the World of the Living Squad noticed that there was someone behind Tsuna. They were confused; it was clearly a living, breathing Bleach, so why couldn't the others notice?

In a daze, Tatsuki was bound by Unohana Retsu's Binding Bakudo, Ichigo took Kenpachi Zaraki's sword, and a large amount of blood splattered. Uryū was also hit by the Spirit Bow and Arrows he had fired, but they didn't care about their own situation. Instead, they shouted in Tsuna's direction.

"Tsuna, watch out!"

They all saw it: behind Tsuna stood a seemingly refined and easy-going man, but this man was the one Tsuna's intelligence files described as the man to run away at the sight of— Sosuke Aizen.

The three people's Sōkyoku voices immediately attracted the attention of the others. They all stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction Ichigo and the others were looking. Apart from a spiky-haired guy squatting down roasting sweet potatoes, there was no one else there.

The captains who knew the situation all changed their expressions. If nothing unexpected happened, they had already been hypnotized, while these Ryoka, because they had not been hypnotized, were able to see Aizen.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on Tsuna, Gin Ichimaru suddenly accelerated, breaking free of the Sennen Hyōrō and rushing towards Rukia. He already knew Aizen was coming, but Aizen hadn't used Kyoka Suigetsu on him. The moment Toshiro was distracted was the perfect opportunity to seize Rukia.

"Flash Cry!"

Soi Fon's Shinigami Uniform exploded. Another reason she was willing to stay around Rukia with Sasakibe was as insurance to protect Rukia. Sure enough, Gin Ichimaru rushed to the vicinity.

"Vice-Captain Sasakibe, our mission now is to protect Rukia Kuchiki!" After saying that, Soi Fon, without waiting for Sasakibe's reaction, Flash Step Soi Fon engaged Gin Ichimaru in battle.

What's going on? Sasakibe was confused. Soi Fon was just fighting him a moment ago, and suddenly the mission changed—from executing Rukia to protecting Rukia?

"Aren't you planning to go out? This stage is great, everyone who's supposed to be here is here," Tsuna asked kindly.

Aizen around, a somewhat satisfied smile on his face. Although he didn't take these people seriously, after hiding for so many years, it seemed like it wouldn't hurt to garner one last wave of shocked glances before leaving.

"Well then, I appreciate Tsuna- kun's kindness," Aizen said with a smile.

"Huh." Tsuna shuddered slightly in disgust. "We're not that close yet."

"Haha." Aizen's smile was genuine. As he slowly walked towards the center of Sogyoku Hill, he dispelled the hypnosis of Kyoka Suigetsu one by one. Sosuke Aizen his grand entrance.

Upon seeing Aizen appear out of thin air, the captains who had some prior knowledge of the situation all Zanpakuto their Aizen at him. Even Kenpachi Zaraki, who always enjoyed fighting, stopped and waited to watch the show. Meanwhile, Chōjirō Sasakibe, who was completely unaware of the situation, finally noticed something amiss.

What's going on? Sosuke Aizen isn't dead? Why do all the other divisions seem to know about this? What is our First Division doing?

As the Kyoka Suigetsu faded, Aizen's spiritual pressure manifested, and a gap suddenly appeared in the ring of fire behind him, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto to emerge from within the fire with his two disciples.

No longer needing his apprentice's explanation, the shrewd and experienced Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto quickly deduced that the deceased was not Aizen.

"Aizen, why did you fake your death? What is your purpose in reappearing now!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto rebuked, his tone becoming increasingly serious, until he almost concluded that Aizen ulterior motives.

Aizen didn't answer, but simply gazed silently at the sky. When the time was almost up, he said softly, "Come out, I need to."

The Enma Kōrogi in mid-air suddenly made contact, and a person covered in blood, whose human form was indistinguishable and who seemed not to be human at all, fell down and crashed heavily onto the Sogyoku Hill. Meanwhile, the other Enma Kōrogi, Kaname Tōsen, charged towards Rukia the moment he released his Bankai.

Without giving the unconscious Komamura a second glance, Kaname Tōsen drew his sword and severed the ties of the past.

"Captain Komamura!"

Ukitake immediately Flash Step Shunpo to get to Komamura's side. Just as he was about to call for help, Unohana Retsu, the medical strategist of Soul Society, arrived and covered Sajin Komamura with a cloak.

The slight rise and fall of his chest indicated that Komamura was still alive. Kaname Tōsen indeed severed the bond with his own hands, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to kill him and spared Komamura's life. That was enough. Kaname Tōsen believed that Unohana Retsu's abilities would revive Sajin Komamura.

Seeing Aizen and Kaname Tōsen's expressions, if Sasakibe didn't react quickly enough, he would have wasted his thousand years Vice-Captain. Capturing the sinner Rukia Kuchiki wasn't his top priority; stopping Kaname Tōsen was what he needed to do.

Sasakibe decisively abandoned Rukia and engaged in battle with Genryūmaru, carrying the Kaname Tōsen. Kaname Tōsen just used Bankai once, so his chances of winning were very high.

"Sosuke Aizen, answer my question!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's anger escalated to another level, causing the surrounding temperature to rise by two degrees.

However, Aizen completely ignored Captain-Commander Yamamoto's fury and disregarded his questions. His eyes remained fixed on Ichigo, and he smiled, "Long time no see, Ichigo Kurosaki."

"You... I don't know you!" Ichigo almost didn't think straight. Shouldn't it be "Nice to meet you"?

"This is the first time you've met me, but I know everything about you. If it weren't for someone interfering, I would be the one who truly accompanied you as you grew up." Aizen said in a tone that suggested he was Tsuna's father, while giving him an annoyed Tsuna.

As a product of Aizen's deliberate manipulation, Ichigo Kurosaki was constantly monitored by Aizen 'Ichigo Surveillance Spirit Bug from childhood until one day after Ichigo started elementary school, when Aizen's Rei-bug began to suffer repeated mishaps.

Later, Aizen learned that there was a mysterious figure by Ichigo's side who could always cut off his attention to Ichigo. Aizen initially thought it was Urahara Kisuke's doing, but after Tsuna appeared in Soul Society, he was certain that it was Sawada Tsunayoshi was behind it.

However, Tsuna couldn't always stay by Ichigo's side, which gave Aizen plenty of opportunities to exploit. Aizen had never missed a beat in Ichigo the years.

"What are you talking about?" Ichigo, looking confused. He genuinely couldn't understand what Aizen was saying.

"Where do you think White came from?"

Ichigo moment. The moment the name White was mentioned, Ichigo thought of Zangetsu inside him, the white version of him.

His words had the desired effect. Aizen said with a hint of mischievousness, "That was my creation. You are also a product of my deliberate guidance. You could say you are also one of my experiments. You can call me Father..."

"Are you kidding me?!"

Before Aizen could finish speaking, Ichigo had already rushed in front of him. A black crescent moon condensed on the blade. This was a close-range Getsuga Tensho. As long as it hit the enemy, this Getsuga would unleash terrifying power.

Ichigo's hands trembled uncontrollably. Despite his full-force strike, he couldn't get an inch closer. Aizen simply raised his hand, his two fingers together, and pinched Tensa Zangetsu.

"I'm glad to meet you on this special day, a spontaneous act of mine," Aizen said calmly, his other hand gently resting on Ichigo's chest. "Unfortunately, I've already found a way to break through the limits; the experiments of the past are no longer useful."

"Hadō 33 - Sōkatsui"

The azure flames exploded in Ichigo's chest, blasting Ichigo far away until he landed at Kenpachi Zaraki's feet.

Kenpachi stroked his chin with interest. Aizen's technique of wielding a sword barehanded had truly piqued his interest. "Looks like you're worth cutting down too."

Aizen ignored the self-excited Kenpachi and simply addressed the battlefield behind Kenpachi, saying, "Come back, Gin, Kaname."

Soi Fon had just exchanged a blow with Gin Ichimaru when she suddenly saw Gin Ichimaru open his narrowed eyes a crack. Then, his hand moved with a speed that Soi Fon couldn't even keep up with, wildly swinging his sword. Large swaths of white blades enveloped both Soi Fon and Sasakibe.

If these were blades, Soi Fon preferred to call them whips. She didn't know how Gin Ichimaru managed to do it, but the retractable Shinsō in his hands had a strange attack pattern like a whip. Soi Fon felt as if she was trapped in thousands of white snakes, unable to escape at all.

Even Soi Fon, who was using Flash Cry, couldn't do anything about it, and Sasakibe was in an even worse state. With just one move, he was left with dozens of wounds, and he had no strength left to stop Kaname Tōsen.

That leaves only one outcome: when Gin Ichimaru's attack stopped, Rukia had already vanished.

Kaname Tōsen capture Rukia and was using Flash Step to get to Aizen's location. Gin Ichimaru was also trying to get rid of Soi Fon's harassment. If this continued, Aizen would really achieve his goal.

The other captains began to take action, whether it was to stop Kaname Tōsen or to attack Aizen, they couldn't let them leave easily.

Just as the captains were about to take a step, an overwhelming spiritual pressure they had never encountered before appeared out of nowhere. The captains looked at Aizen with shock in their eyes. They discovered that the owner of this spiritual pressure was Aizen. Aizen's release of spiritual pressure had rendered them unable to move.

Aizen's expression remained calm and composed, as if he had only done something insignificant.
