A Tacit Battle

"Aizen, you've come after all."

Before Aizen's eyes, dozens of figures flashed by, and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto arrived with all the captains of the Gotei 13.

"You can't stop me now, Captain-Commander Yamamoto!"

In terms of acting skills, Aizen is undoubtedly top-notch. Looking at the confident and arrogant expression on his face, if the captains didn't already know that his target wasn't Seireitei, they would really think that Aizen had come to attack Seireitei.

"Enough with the pleasantries, draw your sword!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's eyes flashed with a sharp light. As a thousand-year-old Bleach, his acting skills were no less impressive than Aizen's. "Shinra Bansho Ryūjin Jakka!"

A scorching heatwave swept over Aizen, and everyone except Aizen retreated a certain distance to dodge Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's attack. Aizen himself, however, remained completely unmoved by the flames, as if taking a hot bath.

The moment the Espada dispersed, the captains also took action, each seeking out their own opponents, with Shunsui Kyōraku being the most astute among them.

"Mr. Inoue, let's just make do with what we have," Kyōraku, now free of the Katen Kyōkotsu Kyokotsu, said to Sora Inoue.

Kyōraku approached Sora Inoue on purpose, so that he could devote more energy to other battlefields and the experience of Aizen storming the Soul King Palace.

"As you wish."

Being able to coast along with a master of coasting is perfect for Sora Inoue. He doesn't want to face an opponent Kenpachi Zaraki, who might cut him down if he gets carried away.

But just to make a show of it, Sora Inoue still used his Resurrección, transforming into the form of the Wa Snake.

Since information about the Espada had already been circulated among the Gotei 13, Kyōraku arranged for two captains to deal with the top few Espada who were overpowered, while the others were dealt with one-on-one by their respective captains.

Finally, there is one more uncertainty: Kaname Tōsen, and as a former friend, Sajin Komamura still volunteered.

"You are no match for me. Get out of my way, Komamura. I don't want to kill you!" Kaname Tōsen said coldly.

Looking at his friend who had become a stranger, Sajin Komamura didn't know what to say. The reason he volunteered to deal with Kaname Tōsen was because he wanted to save Kaname Tōsen's life from the Gotei 13.

Komamura was well aware Tsuna the changes that had occurred in the Seireitei was in Soul Society.

If Kaname Tōsen act ungratefully and get into a real fight with the other captains, he might end up being killed by them.

As a former friend, Komamura came to save Kaname Tōsen's life. As for how Kaname Tōsen be judged afterward, that was not something he could decide.

Seeing Komamura remain silent, and again, haunted by their past friendship, Kaname Tōsen urged, "There's no need to fight again after we've already fought one. Step aside, Komamura, and I'll spare your life."

There was still no answer. This time, Komamura used his sword to give Kaname Tōsen the answer, "Roar, divine retribution!"

"Giving up Bankai?" Kaname Tōsen thought Komamura wanted to give up the massive size of Bankai in exchange for an advantage in the fight. "Then you have even less chance of winning. Bankai, Suzumushi Final Style: Enma Kōrogi!"

Another black sphere enveloped Kaname Tōsen and Komamura. In Kaname Tōsen's view, Komamura, who had given up using Bankai, had even less chance of defeating him. All he needed to do was repeat the operation he had performed with Sōkyoku.

The same senses were stripped away, the same brutal killing of Komamura, but for Aizen's grand cause, for revenge against Tokinada Tsunayashiro, Kaname Tōsen to give up everything, even if the person in front of him was his best friend.

Unlike before, Sajin Komamura was prepared this time. The moment he was enveloped by the Enma Kōrogi, he could no longer sense anything and was immersed in endless darkness.

But that didn't matter. Deep in his heart, a tall, strong man opened his eyes. This was the Heavenly Punishment, also known as the Black Rope Heavenly Punisher.

Unlike other Zanpakuto, Komamura's Bankai, Kurobo Bankai Black Rope Heavenly Punisher, is an independent entity. They share everything, including physical injuries.

After Muramasa materialized the divine punishment, Komamura gained a new ability through a heart-to-heart talk with it, which he called the Mind's Eye.

Simply put, through the shared senses of the Heavenly Punishment within his body, Komamura can observe enemies from multiple perspectives during battle. The most common method is for Komamura to see the front while the Heavenly Punishment sees the back.

He perfected the Assassin's Creed using the numerical value of the Heavenly Punishment sword, relying on this ability. With Komamura observing from multiple perspectives, it's easier to discover the opponent's weaknesses.

The Enma Kōrogi has essentially extinguished one of Komamura's screens, but Komamura still has another screen provided by the Heavenly Punishment. Zanpakuto are not ordinary beings, and Kaname Tōsen's abilities are ineffective against them.

It can be said that this battle was a foregone conclusion from the very beginning. Even if Kaname Tōsen use the power of Hollowfication, Komamura would have Bankai to deal with it.

The battles against the other Espada were even less of a concern; the well-prepared captains were simply not going to be defeated. The only question was how to capture these Arrancar.

Looking back at Aizen and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, seeing his subordinates separated by the captains, Aizen, who didn't treat his subordinates like human beings, wasn't worried at all.

After Shikai his Ryūjin Jakka, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto immediately activated an even more powerful form, "Bankai! Great Fire Sword!"

The flames on Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Zanpakuto seemed endless, constantly spewing out flames and bringing with them a rapidly rising temperature.

"Captain-Commander, take it easy, don't destroy Soul Society," Aizen said softly, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.

Aizen was starting to regret it. Since it was all an act with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, he hadn't wasted his effort creating a "fire-extinguishing prince" to seal Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's flames.

As a result, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto used Bankai, showing that he was going all out.

In this way, it seems that Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto did his best, but what really pained Aizen was the state of the entire Soul Society.

The temperature rise caused by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Bankai might kill countless spirits with this attack. Aizen doesn't want to see a lonely world left after he ascends the throne.

"Don't worry, bring it on." Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto saw through Aizen's thoughts at a glance and said vaguely.

Aizen didn't immediately make a move. Instead, he used his incredibly powerful spiritual pressure to probe into the Seireitei. He didn't find the person, but judging from the plants in the Seireitei, it seemed that Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Bankai hadn't had much of an impact on Soul Society.

Has Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto become weaker? Or has he become stronger?

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto sneered. He had no interest in explaining anything to Aizen. He picked up the Great Fire Sword and slashed at Aizen.

Even before he learned he needed to put on an act, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was already prepared. If he was going to put on an act, he would do it properly. As the strongest Bleach on the surface, how could he possibly let Aizen go without even using his Bankai?

Therefore, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was prepared from the beginning to deal with the escalation of his Bankai.

At the entrance to the Central Underground Prison, Tsuna of the Five-Sword Style reappears. In order to deal with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's overwhelming influence, Tsuna has no choice but to use power Beyond Bankai.

He used the power of rain, a fine drizzle barely perceptible to the naked eye, silently nourishing the creatures of Soul Society while resisting the heat emanating from the Great Fire Sword.

This is Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's solution: the Sedation rain attribute, which is Tsuna's only Beyond Bankai that he can use freely regardless of the environment. In addition, the form of the rain is also very effective in cooling down, which is why Tsuna and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto teamed up.

"This old man is actually playing around!" Tsuna, looking at Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto on the screen with some indignation.

In the past, whenever Yamamoto used Bankai, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was always in a hurry to defeat his opponent in order to minimize the impact on Soul Society.

With Tsuna plan in place, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's movements became less rushed, and he even seemed to be enjoying each move.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was truly immersed in his own style of swordsmanship. Since he didn't intend to defeat Aizen anyway, he might as well take this time to experience the swordsmanship of the Great Fire Sword state, as such an opportunity was not easy to come by.

Could he perhaps allow Tsuna to unleash a Rain-attribute Bankai that Beyond Bankai, so that Tsuna could use Bankai freely without any side effects?

Unbeknownst to Tsuna, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, while enjoying himself, also discovered a blind spot.

If Tsuna were truly going to fight using Beyond Bankai, why would Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto need to use his Bankai at all?

Faced with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's attacks, Aizen parried them with his swordsmanship in a very disciplined manner. In his right hand, he held a katana made entirely of liquid condensed from Hollow's power.

The Kyoka Suigetsu, Water Moon has already merged into Aizen's body, and he can use Hollow's power to condense it anywhere on his body at any time.

Unfortunately, Aizen's Zanpakuto fusion was still one step away from completion; otherwise, Kyoka Suigetsu wouldn't have needed to appear in the form of a sword.

After parrying several sword strikes, Aizen grew bored. "That's enough, Captain-Commander."

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto remained unmoved and swung his sword at Aizen, but the intense flames pierced through Aizen's body in the next instant.

The blade missed its mark. Years of experience allowed Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto to immediately assess the situation, and combined with Aizen's abilities, it was the power of Kyoka Suigetsu!

"Your era has come to an end, Captain-Commander Yamamoto!"

Aizen's voice came from behind Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. A cold, sharp stab Aizen through Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's heart.

The flames on Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Zanpakuto gradually disappeared, and he himself was exhausted. The next moment, he fell headfirst into the Seireitei.

Upon witnessing this scene, Urahara Kisuke clenched his fists. Even though he knew it was all an act, what if Aizen really did something drastic?

"Don't panic, even if Aizen is faking it for real, Old Man Yamamoto still won't die, I'm telling you!" Tsuna said, patting Urahara Kisuke on the shoulder.

The flying fish dagger at Tsuna's waist had disappeared, transforming into a swimming fish and quickly heading towards the direction where Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto had fallen.

As soon as Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto landed within the Seireitei building area, a thick cloud of Rain Flame solidified Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto body into a block of ice. It was this backup plan that allowed Tsuna to confidently let Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto deal with Aizen alone.

As long as the Flying Fish Dagger brings Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's body here, no matter how severe the injury, Tsuna is confident he can save him.

This is the real reason Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was so confident in his plan!
