Who Am I

Aizen stared at his hands, his pupils dilating in shock. A look of confusion, bewilderment, and ignorance flashed across his face. He stopped continuing Kaname Tōsen's treatment and instead took several steps back, collapsing onto the ground with a thud.

"Lord Aizen... what's wrong with you..." Kaname Tōsen cried out in pain, but Aizen was in no mood to listen to him.

Aizen stared blankly around. Gin Ichimaru was completely unable to break free. The captains around Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto had all collapsed unconscious after losing control of Kyoka Suigetsu. Hirako was surrounded by a group of Vice-Captain, Ichigo and his group also walked to Tsuna's side.

A meteorite fell, and the explosion shattered the seal of the Five Pillars of Iron. Aikawa Love, who had regained his freedom, saw Kaname Tōsen lying on the ground and Aizen full of "wisdom." He knew, of course, the power of Hirako's slash.

After Aikawa Love scoffed, he rushed to help Kensei. Two of the three villains from Soul Society had already been killed, leaving only Gin Ichimaru.

Hirako's strike was terrifying; it could completely reverse the perception of the enemy struck by the Sakanade, turning their understanding of themselves and the world from existence to non-existence.

Those struck by this move are like newborns who need to rediscover the world, but because they still possess the instincts to live in this world, they often fall into self-doubt.

Who am I? This is Aizen's question now, but because of his cautious nature, he won't ask anyone and can only find the answer himself.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto first used a little spiritual pressure to awaken Unohana Retsu. This injury was nothing to Unohana Retsu. After entrusting the captains to her, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto walked step by step toward Aizen.

Unohana Retsu did not disappoint Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's expectations. While using the Return Path to heal herself, she also released her Zanpakuto, Meninas, a giant green manta ray that would provide rapid healing to anyone swallowed by it.

"Hirako Shinji..."

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto looked at Hirako with a hint of guilt in his eyes. He knew all too well that Hirako and the others had been framed, but due to the existence of the Central 46, Soul Society had to hunt them down. Later, as time went by, under Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's instructions, the matter gradually faded away. Otherwise, Urahara, Hirako, and the others would never have had such a pleasant life in the World of the Living.

"Old Man Yamamoto." Hirako nodded in greeting.

Upon hearing this address, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto knew that Hirako was deliberately keeping her distance from him. This was for the best. In Soul Society, he didn't know how to deal with people like Hirako who possessed Hollow's power, and the captains' meeting was needed to make a decision.

"How long can your ability last?" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto asked.

"I don't know. I've gathered all my spiritual pressure. If possible, I hope it will last a lifetime." A hint of relief appeared in Hirako's eyes. After so long of revenge, he had finally received his reward.

"For Aizen's defection, we need to gather evidence before putting him on trial." At this point, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto blushed slightly. Aizen wasn't captured by Soul Society; this sounded like he was demanding Hirako's reward. To make his point more convincing, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto added, "I can guarantee that his sentence will start as Muken- ranking official)."

Hirako understood Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's meaning, but instead of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto immediately, he looked at Urahara had appeared out of nowhere.

Hirako could only represent the Visored at most. A large part of Aizen's fate was due to Urahara Shop's efforts. Only after receiving Urahara's signal did Hirako say, "Let Soul Society handle it. Don't let him escape again."

"Hmph, no one has ever escaped the Muken!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto felt his tone had been a bit too harsh, so he changed his words, saying, "As for this matter, come to the First Division."

Hirako was taken aback. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's words implied that the Soul Society had changed its Visored.

"Okay, I'll go take care of the last one." Hirako accepted Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's invitation and chased after Gin Ichimaru. At this moment when his revenge was about to be completed, he felt a little empty.

"Tsuna, let's go, the show's over." Ichigo said, squatting down next to Tsuna.

"Don't worry, if I'm not mistaken, this battle is far from over," Tsuna said, noticing that even though Aizen was in a daze, his hand was still tightly gripping his Zanpakuto.

There's only one reason: Aizen instinctively felt that his Zanpakuto gave him enough security. Hirako should have immediately dislocated Aizen's arm. Ignoring this point, this battle probably wouldn't have ended so easily.

After discussing it with Hirako, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto approached Aizen, who was sitting on the ground with his head down, deep in thought. However, in this short time, he couldn't understand why Aizen would rebel, and could only wait for further questioning.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto held two fingers together, the spiritual pressure of the Kido gathering at his fingertips, "Bakudo..."

"Stop!!!"

Just as Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was about to use Binding Spell to Bakudo Aizen, a Hollow spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from the side, catching even Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto off guard.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto cut off the suddenly erupting Cero with a single sword. Just as he was getting annoyed that Hirako couldn't control his subordinates, he realized that the half-human, half-Cero monster in front of him was not a member of the Visored at all.

The white mask completely covered his face, two insect-like limbs grew from his ribs, his legs transformed into insect-like shapes, and a pair of transparent insect wings grew from his back. Only his dreadlocks could vaguely distinguish that this person was not a member of the Visored, but rather the one lying on the ground Kaname Tōsen.

Seeing Kaname Tōsen Hollowfication, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto felt much more at ease. He had originally been looking for evidence of Aizen and the others' crimes, but now he didn't need to search anymore; he could just judge them directly.

Normally, Kaname Tōsen shouldn't have been involved in the Hollowfication field at this point, but when Aizen used Resurrection to save him, Aizen slipped a Hollowfication research result into his palm.

In Aizen's view, Kaname Tōsen was too useful. He couldn't die before the big plan was accomplished, and with Hirako and the others harassing him, he might not have time to truly save Kaname Tōsen. The only solution was to force Tōsen to Hollowfication. If Tōsen lost his mind, he could recover later.

Aizen never expected that what he had placed in Tōsen's hand would become the key to saving him, nor did he expect that the former useless captain's Sakanade attack would be so ruthless.

The Hollowfication Kaname Tōsen's body trembled incessantly. After being killed by Rose's Illusion, his mental state was already very poor. Now he had to fight for control of his body with a Hollow. If it weren't for Kakyō's gentleness and Aizen's support, he probably would have become a Hollow long ago.

"If you fall into Hollow form, I'll personally send you on your way." Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, with his fiery temper, couldn't stand it. He had spent decades trying to get rid of Hirako and the others' case, and now Tōsen dared to become a Hollow right in front of him. He was really courting death.

Just as Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's sword was about to strike, it was blocked by an extremely long blade that appeared out of nowhere; it was Gin Ichimaru who had made his move.

Originally Gin Ichimaru was almost losing his motivation. The big boss was dumbfounded, and the second boss was useless. Although he couldn't defeat Kensei in a short time, he could still retreat and do his job without any problem. Even with the addition of Aikawa Love, Gin Ichimaru was still relaxed and at ease.

Just as Gin Ichimaru was pondering how to retrieve what he wanted from Aizen, the second boss suddenly came back to life. Compared to approaching Aizen under the strict surveillance of Soul Society, Gin Ichimaru naturally preferred to handle Aizen's matter privately.

So when Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was about to kill Kaname Tōsen, Gin Ichimaru also erupted, using his Mutō Renjin to push Aikawa Love away, while simultaneously throwing a Bakudo at Kensei to slow him down. He then blocked Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's attack with a single slash.

With Gin Ichimaru's sudden intervention, Kaname Tōsen was struggling, finally reacted. However, he was unable to control his Hollow powers effectively and could only start firing indiscriminately, his Cero sweeping wildly in all directions. Apart from Aizen behind him, almost everyone was caught in his crossfire.

The commotion Kaname Tōsen naturally attracted Aizen's attention. Looking at the dreadlocks, Aizen felt a sense of peace for some reason.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was not about to let a Hollow be so presumptuous in front of him. His killing intent surged, his Zanpakuto was bathed in flames, and he was determined to meet the Cero head-on and cut Kaname Tōsen in two.

For some reason, Aizen moved subconsciously. With the hand that was holding Kyoka Suigetsu, Aizen twisted his body and appeared in front of Kaname Tōsen. Kyoka Suigetsu Ryūjin Jakka.

In an instant, only two colors remained in the world: the red of flames and the white of a mirror, each occupying half around the Sogyoku Hill.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Tsuna exclaimed. It was such a rare treat to see Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Aizen. Tsuna regretted not bringing a camera from the World of the Living.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Aizen's actions caused the Visored pursuing Gin Ichimaru to halt in their tracks. Could such terrifying spiritual pressure truly be possessed by Bleach?

Meanwhile, Gin Ichimaru, that slippery fellow, took advantage of the moment when Hirako and the others' attention was diverted and quietly slipped away from the encirclement of Kensei, Aikawa Love, Hirako.

As the flames gradually diminished, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was filled with alarm. He had thought that without the effect of Kyoka Suigetsu, he could easily Aizen to death. However, this strike revealed Aizen's true skill level; his Zanjutsu was definitely no less than his own.

Bankai? For some reason, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto felt a slight lack of confidence in his own Bankai.

The spiritual pressure generated by the clash of the two swords shoved both Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Aizen to the edge of Sogyoku Hill. Compared to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's thoughts, Aizen was more concerned with what the sword in his hand was and why it was carrying him.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was about to continue the pursuit when he realized that Aizen, in his current state of great intelligence, clearly wouldn't use the bizarre ability of Kyoka Suigetsu. If he couldn't subdue Aizen completely now, things would get complicated if Aizen regained his senses.

"Swastika..."

Just as Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was about to block Soul Society and use Bankai to defeat Aizen, a sweet female voice interrupted his progress. The voice carried three parts despair and seven parts expectation.

"Aizen... Master!" The tone suddenly rose, and light appeared in the deathly despair, a new hope emerging in life.

"Holy crap, why is she here?"

Tsuna glanced at the newcomer in surprise, then immediately turned to look at Urahara, only to find that Urahara's face was also full of surprise.

"Lord Aizen, thank goodness, you're alive!"

The girl was overjoyed, ignoring everyone on the Sōkyoku, her eyes filled with longing as she looked at Aizen's intelligent appearance.

Just then, Meninas vomited up the captains, and they all woke up, but they hadn't recovered to normal function yet. They needed Unohana Retsu to provide further treatment in the Fourth Division.

"Momo? What are you doing here?"

Just as Toshiro emerged, he happened to see his childhood friend, Momo Hinamori. He couldn't understand why, when this was a battle for captains and above, Momo Hinamori, as the Vice-Captain, had violated the mission rules and come to Sogyoku Hill.

Where are the guards? Why didn't anyone stop Momo?

What Toshiro didn't know was that the guards were no match for the Vice-Captain. With Aizen releasing his spiritual pressure repeatedly, most of them were already unsteady on their feet, so how could they possibly stop Momo Hinamori?

What Toshiro didn't know was that the girl he cared about only had one figure in her eyes: Sosuke Aizen.

"Aizen?" The name seemed to awaken some instincts in Aizen. He gripped his Zanpakuto tightly, muttering the name "Aizen" as he gradually sank into the world of his Zanpakuto.

In the Kyoka Suigetsu world of Blade Zen, Aizen seemed to see another version of himself. Within Soul Society, driven by his Zanpakuto and his own instincts, Aizen uttered, "Bankai..."
