The Three-Man Feeding Squad

"I understand, Lord Aizen!" Sora Inoue replied respectfully, kneeling on one knee.

Just as Aizen knew that Sora Inoue's position in Hueco Mundo was never pure, Sora Inoue himself never hid his relationship with Tsuna from Aizen.

Before coming to Hueco Mundo, Tsuna had already told Sora Inoue that under Aizen's command, there was no need to live like an undercover agent; he could simply pass on information to Urahara openly.

As long as Aizen has control over the overall situation, he won't care if his subordinates do something slightly out of line. On the contrary, being Aizen's subordinate and trying to be clever by deceiving others is more dangerous.

It doesn't matter if Aizen really can't tolerate Sora Inoue. Sora Inoue has the life-saving Kido left to him by Urahara, which will activate the Garganta when his life is in danger.

Urahara, having discovered that the spell he left behind had been triggered, was able to bring Orihime to save Sora Inoue's life as quickly as possible.

Sora Inoue stood up, about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask, "Lord Aizen, we're still quite a distance from the gate. Some members should already be at the gate. Should we stop them?"

Just as Aizen finished giving instructions to Sora Inoue, several Arrancar rushed up to Tsuna and the others. If nothing unexpected happened, a conflict would soon break out between them.

"Give a warning to those above number 4, the rest are fine," Aizen said without hesitation.

Arrancar of number 4 and above are of Vasto Lorde strength. As for the other Adjuchas, Aizen doesn't care at all. With the Hogyoku, he can have as many Arrancar of that strength as he wants.

"Please rest assured, sir, members number 4 and above will not act rashly."

The First Espada Stark, is relatively lazy and wouldn't concern himself with such matters. The Second Espada Barragan, was once the King of Hueco Mundo and disdained to greet enemies at the gate. The Third Espada, Halibel, is cautious and wouldn't provoke trouble. As for the Fourth Espada, Ulquiorra, with his somewhat cyborg-like personality, he wouldn't act independently without Aizen's orders.

Having received Aizen's permission, Sora Inoue slowed his pace considerably and walked out with ease and pleasure, completely unconcerned about the Arrancar had gone out to provoke him.

It would be better if a few died. Sora Inoue Sora Inoue said that he was already annoyed by dealing with the relationships of these problem children. It would be good to use Tsuna and the others to get rid of a few weak but hot-tempered guys.

At the gates of Las Noches, Tsuna immediately withdrew the spiritual pressure he released. He was just there to say hello, not to provoke anyone, so there was no need to release pressure for an extended period.

However, Tsuna's actions were still seen as provocation, and the three Arrancar Espada on the outermost edge of Las Noches, had already arrived at the gate.

"Hey, Grimmjow, the enemy's at our doorstep, where are you going?"

Grimmjow entered the palace, a burly Arrancar called out to him. With just a glance, he knew that the man wearing Visored on his jaw was one of the Espada.

The Espada, Yammy Rialgo.

However, Grimmjow completely ignored Yammy's intentions. He and Yammy did not get along well. Yammy was irritable and easily angered. In the entire Las Noches, only the emotionless Ulquiorra could get along with Yammy.

Since they were just casual acquaintances anyway, Grimmjow had no intention of reminding Yammy, and walked into the hall with a sour face.

"You wretched bastard, I'll beat you to a pulp sooner or later!" Yammy said angrily.

Yammy had long disliked Grimmjow's arrogant attitude, and if Ulquiorra hadn't kept him calming down, he probably would have punched Grimmjow in the face already.

"Don't bother with the mere sixth seat."

A voice that annoyed Yammy even more appeared. Without turning around Yammy knew it was the Fifth Espada, Nnoitra Gilgar.

With long hair, one eye, and wielding a large scythe shaped like two crescent moons, his eyes were full of mockery and derision. This was Nnoitra, an arrogant man who despised the weak. Those weaker than him would only receive his insane taunts.

Upon hearing Nnoitra's words, Yammy's vision went black. Normally, he was ranked tenth, but Nnoitra, who looked down on the sixth Espada, was, in a sense, also insulting Yammy, the tenth Espada.

"Forget it, I'll settle accounts with Nnoitra slowly after I kill the intruders, "Yammy thought, suppressing his anger as he walked outside.

Behind Nnoitra and Yammy, another figure followed silently. This slope, with a human body, was not even humanoid.

Below the neck, everything was relatively normal; above the neck, the head was a long, cylindrical mask. Below the mask was a sealed glass jar containing two illusory, Visored -like brains.

This is the 9th Espada, Aaroniero Erurueri. He, along with Yammy and Nnoitra, are the three Espada closest to the gate, and they rushed towards the gate the moment the incident occurred.

Although the three were moving in unison, their goals differed. Yammy was prepared to unleash his fury, Nnoitra wanted to fight and tear the enemy to shreds, and as for Aaroniero, he wouldn't waste any opportunity to absorb power.

"Let's see which blind fool dares to challenge the Las Noches." Yammy's voice rang out even before the person arrived.

Tsuna revealed a knowing look. Someone would always step forward. It wasn't good to always fleece one leopard at a time. Before Sora Inoue appeared, he would play with these Arrancar for a while.

"Number 10? It seems the Arrancar are more composed than I thought." Urahara already had information about the Espada, recognized the tall, dark figure as Yammy at a glance.

Urahara somewhat disappointed that only Number 10 had come. According to intelligence, most of the Espada in the back row had emotional deficiencies, and their hostility could be easily provoked.

One Yammy alone wouldn't be enough for them to greet Aizen.

From Urahara's tone, Tsuna knew that Urahara believed that Yammy alone was not enough to demonstrate their strength, and that negotiations also required solid capabilities. Showing off their strength appropriately was a good option.

However, Tsuna did not underestimate Yammy at all. The information that Sora Inoue could obtain was ultimately superficial. Urahara not have the information that the number on Yammy's shoulder changed from 10 to 0 after Yammy's Resurrección.

Yammy is a special Arrancar. His combat power is related to his rage level, similar to the Hulk next door. The stronger his rage, the stronger his combat power, theoretically without limit. At the same time, he was also the first one to be confirmed as Espada, which is why he has the special title of Number 0.

Just as Tsuna were wandering, a cold, sharp blade suddenly spoke, "Looks like you're quite dissatisfied."

With a clang, Urahara drew Red Princess and parried a massive twin-moon scythe. Hidden beneath his hat, only one eye was visible. He said casually, "Number 5? Not bad."

"Bleach, huh? You seem worthy of being killed."

The one who made the sudden move was Nnoitra. For him, sneak attacks and taking advantage of weaknesses are his usual tricks. He used Yammy's tall stature to block Tsuna and the others' view, and then suddenly used Sonido to launch an attack.

However, Nnoitra's little trick was discovered from the beginning. Apart from Nel, every member of Tsuna's team was capable of standing on their own. The mere Sonido attack by Hibiki was no match for them.

Nnoitra, having failed in his sneak attack, leaped back towards Las Noches with a strange smile. His gaze swept over Tsuna and the others, as if he were selecting a dish to satisfy him.

Nnoitra's gaze was extremely uncomfortable, Tsuna didn't even glance at him, having already sentenced this eccentric guy to death in his mind.

"Ichigo, Nel's injuries were inflicted by that one-eyed monster. If it weren't for luck, Nel probably wouldn't even have survived," Tsuna suddenly said.

"Nel?"

Ichigo then noticed that Nel was trembling with her head down in his arms. Although it had only been half a day, Ichigo and Nel had undoubtedly become very good friends. Considering Nel's current state, he understood what Tsuna meant.

Having Tsuna up playing together since childhood, Ichigo is used to listening to Tsuna's advice on crucial decisions. He glared sharply at Nnoitra and asked Tsuna.

"Don't we need to defeat them?"

"No need." If you don't defeat them, there's only one outcome: killing them.

Ichigo gently patted Nel's back and whispered, "Nel, I'll take you to get revenge."

His fighting spirit erupted from within. After saving Rukia, Ichigo once again received the buff of protecting his friends. In this state, Ichigo was invincible.

Ichigo threw Zangetsu directly at Nnoitra; this kind of attack, which was given a warning beforehand with battle intent, naturally had no effect.

Retracting Zangetsu, which had been launched away by Nnoitra, Ichigo pointed his sword at the opponent and said, "You, come out!"

Nnoitra initially had no idea why Ichigo was so hostile, until he saw the trembling brat in Ichigo's arms and the familiar sword wound on her head and Arrancar. His smile began to turn amused.

"Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, I thought you wouldn't dare show your face, turns out you've found Bleach to back you up." Nnoitra, carrying her scythe, walked towards the open space Las Noches. "Come on, Bleach, let me see how much power you have to protect her."

Nnoitra's attitude of using Nel as a bargaining chip for victory made Ichigo even more unhappy. His steps became heavier, and he was determined to make Nel her anger.

At the gates of Las Noches, neither side paid any attention to their stragglers; both had complete confidence in their own team.

"Nnoitra, remember to leave his body for us," said Aaroniero, referring to himself as "we" because he had two heads.

"No problem," Nnoitra said generously, considering it a reward for these weaklings, since he would be the winner anyway.

"Number 9? That's about right," Urahara said. Taking three Arrancar as a gift for Aizen was a respectable gesture.

"Rukia, you deal with that disgusting thing. Uryū, you keep an eye on things for me."

Tsuna's words jolted Rukia awake. Without a second thought, she stepped forward, drew her sword, and said, "I understand."

Seeing Rukia preparing to lure the monster forward, Tsuna reminded her, "This Arrancar is the reason I sent you to Hueco Mundo; he Kaien Shiba's Reishi on him."

Tsuna's words stirred up a storm in Rukia's heart. Kaien Shiba, the kind senior who had been so gentle to her, was someone she still felt ashamed of for Kaien death.

Now that Kaien's Reishi has appeared in Xu's body, she must take Kaien's place and completely purify this hateful Xu to appease Kaien's spirit in heaven.

Wait, Reishi?

Rukia asked somewhat nervously, "Vice-Captain Shiba's Reishi? Could it be..."

Having just experienced Hisana's resurrection, Rukia couldn't help but think things through. Tsuna nodded slightly, "Keep him alive. After all, he's Ichigo's cousin. Whether it works or not, we should at least give it a try."

Tsuna's vague words gave Rukia immense courage. She knew they could do it; their 13th Division's Vice-Captain would definitely return!

With this conviction, Rukia pointed defiantly at the humanoid Aaroniero, "You're number 9, right? Come out here!"
