Counterfeit Xcution

Reminded by Tsuna, Ginjo finally remembered that Tsuna rarely used his ability to return to the source, mostly using his Sun Attribute flames to save people, Ginjo hadn't thought of it for a moment.

Ginjo quickly put down his coffee, stood up, and asked, "So, what do we do now?"

Tsuna also stood up and said to Hirako, "Hirako, I'm going back with Ginjo first. Contact me if anything comes up. You and Byakuya can continue to discuss the cooperation with the West Bureau here."

"I'm fine with it, but you'll be coming to pick us up in a few days. I don't want to have to travel all the way back over the mountains." Hirako shrugged, indicating he didn't care. He was already eyeing Night Flame's abilities.

"No problem, let's go then."

First, he returned to Outer London with Ginjo. After saying goodbye to his parents, Tsuna searched his familiar spiritual pressure and opened a wormhole leading to Karakura Town at the entrance of a small alley.

Karakura Town, Ishida Hospital. Because Tsuna did not hide his power, Ishida Ryuuken noticed their arrival as soon as he appeared.

A window on the second floor of the hospital opened, and Ishida Ryuuken tilted his head at Tsuna and Ginjo, indicating that they should go directly to his office.

On a hospital bed in Ishida Ryuuken's office, Nozomi Kujō lay unconscious. Ryūken's external wounds had been stitched up, and he was just waiting for her to wake up on her own.

"This guy actually managed to find you?" Knowing that Tsuna and the others had gone on a school trip, Ryūken told Ginjo that he had no hope of finding Tsuna.

"Something came up and I came back early. Uryū and the others are still in London." Without time for details, Tsuna stepped forward and began to reply to Nozomi Kujō.

A verdant spiritual pressure enveloped her body, gradually repairing the internal damage to Nozomi Kujō's body.

"Ishida, what do you know? If I say I'm going to find it, I will find it." Ginjo said nonchalantly, making himself a cup of coffee.

"Really? Why didn't you find Urahara Kisuke?" Ryūken wasn't joking; he went straight for Ginjo's vitals.

"That was an accident. I have a feeling the key lies with this girl," Ginjo said mysteriously.

"Why would you have such a thought?" Tsuna indicated that treatment didn't interfere with their conversation.

"Nozomi Kujō notified me a while ago that strange phenomena had appeared in Karakura Town. An organization called xcution was swindling people in Karakura Town, and she asked me to investigate it thoroughly."

"What a joke! Would I possibly agree to that? XCution only has a handful of people; how could they possibly cause trouble?"

"Besides, as Bleach, he should be more concerned with the souls of Karakura Town than getting involved in the workings of human society."

As Ginjo described the scene, he embellished it with his own complaints.

"So, how is the matter that Nozomi Kujō investigating connected to the store manager's disappearance?" Tsuna didn't understand.

"On the day Urahara Kisuke disappeared, a large number of humans suddenly appeared at Urahara Shop, as if it were an organized and premeditated act, separating Urahara Kisuke from his companions and using humans as bargaining chips."

"After that, I remembered what Nozomi Kujō had mentioned to me, so I started searching for her spiritual pressure in Karakura Town. When I found her, she was already severely injured and unconscious."

Normal humans don't usually come to Urahara Shop, Ginjo suspects that the humans who break into Urahara Shop are controlled by the organization that Nozomi Kujō mentioned.

"The main character is awake." Under Tsuna's treatment, Nozomi Kujō gradually regained consciousness.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi? Right... Someone in the World of the Living is using the name Xcution to disrupt the operation of souls!" Nozomi Kujō quickly said.

"No rush, speak slowly."

"I recently discovered that the number of souls in Karakura Town is abnormal. Many accident scenes did not find corresponding spirits, but instead, business cards with the word 'Xcution' were left at the accident scenes," Nozomi Kujō recalled.

"So I started investigating this so-called Xcution organization, and at the same time sent support to Kugo Ginjo..." Nozomi Kujō, but the resentful look in her eyes as she stared at Ginjo clearly showed that she was annoyed that Ginjo hadn't taken it to heart.

Ginjo turned his face to the window somewhat awkwardly, realizing that it was indeed his fault for not paying attention.

Seeing that Ginjo seemed to realize his mistake, Nozomi Kujō continued, "I discovered that this so-called Xcution organization is secretly developing into a church-like organization using powers that ordinary people cannot understand, and is using this organization to collect the souls wandering in Karakura Town."

"Just five days ago, the Xcution organization rapidly expanded its membership, with more and more people being lured into a mind-control-like state. I followed the trail and found their gathering place."

"After I sneaked in, I don't know how, I was attacked. When I woke up, I saw you, Sawada Tsunayoshi."

After listening to Nozomi Kujō's account, Tsuna asked about a specific timeline, "The expansion started five days ago? Was it all done underground before that?"

"Yes, their operations were very covert before. If the number of Konso in Karakura Town hadn't decreased, I wouldn't have been able to detect them either," Nozomi Kujō affirmed.

"Interesting, they had to choose this time, five days ago."

That was right when Tsuna and the others were leaving Karakura Town for their school trip, so it's highly likely that these people timed their actions precisely when Tsuna and the others were leaving.

"You should rest first. I'll take over this matter. Urahara Kisuke has gone missing. Before he disappeared, Urahara Shop was broken into by controlled humans. Ginjo suspects it's related to the Xcution organization you mentioned," Tsuna said to Nozomi Kujō.

"I can still..." Nozomi Kujō struggled to get up.

"Get some rest. After we finish dealing with this, Karakura Town will need your protection."

After offering a word of Nozomi Kujō and saying goodbye to Ryūken, Tsuna left the hospital with Ginjo.

"Where are we going?" With Tsuna as their leader, Ginjo was happy to have some free time. "If I could, I'd like to beat up the leader of that organization. How dare they act recklessly under the guise of Xcution!"

"Go to a coffee shop, you'll be surrounded by talented people, why do you think of wandering around like a headless fly all by yourself?"

Hearing Tsuna's sigh, Ginjo immediately chased after him, declaring sternly, "What do you mean? I just don't want to waste my brain on trivial matters!"

At the Xcution Cafe, all the members gathered Ginjo Tsuna Nozomi Kujō. Everyone was furious about these imposters using the Xcution name.

"Yukio, use the internet to check for any traces of this imposter. Don't act rashly if you find anything."

"Riruka, Tatsuzawa Kiriko, and Jackie, the three of you go together and investigate the suspicious gathering points given by Nozomi Kujō. Remember, don't act rashly, and don't split up. The opponent can kill a Bleach in an instant."

"Tsukishima, come with me and Ginjo to Urahara Shop. We'll go see what happened."

As Tsuna issued his instructions, Xcution and his group quickly sprang into action. The three of them arrived at Tsuna 'Urahara Shop and, without much small talk, went straight into Urahara's messy laboratory.

Kukaku Shiba is also very experienced; he left everything inside unchanged in order to leave more clues. Usually, such a decision is very useful, but today Tsuna and the others have a bug.

Shukuro Tsukishima pulled out a bookmark, transformed it into a katana, and planted it in the ground. From that moment on, his existence was embedded in the laboratory's past, and he could see everything that happened there.

Tsukishima drew his sword and stabbed Tsuna and Ginjo with a backhand stroke, the memories Tsukishima had seen flashing through their minds.

Inside the laboratory, Urahara Kisuke is confronting a woman with short blue hair, wearing a black women's suit and a white scarf around her neck.

"You're the leader of the organization that's been causing trouble in Karakura Town lately, aren't you?" Urahara Kisuke, pressing down his hat as he stared at the woman in front of him.

"How could it be considered causing trouble? It's just giving them a belief."

"Faith? You who use the name of faith to do despicable things, to lure souls from the World of the Living to your place, and to deliberately disrupt the balance of Reishi in the Three Worlds, what do you want from me now?" Urahara Kisuke asked.

"I've only come to borrow one thing from you: the Hogyoku!"

Urahara Kisuke's expression immediately turned serious. He hadn't expected that someone other than Aizen would have their eyes on the Hogyoku, and coincidentally, Urahara possessed an incomplete Hogyoku in order to help the Arrancar advance to a new level.

Raising his cane and pointing it at the newly appeared woman, Urahara Kisuke firmly rejected her idea, "The Hogyoku? No!"

Just as Urahara was about to make his move, the woman suddenly appeared behind him, her back to Urahara Kisuke as she surveyed the laboratory space. "You don't need to take it, I've already found it."

Just as Urahara was about to turn around and draw his sword to strike the enemy, an unknown space suddenly enveloped him. Urahara Kisuke disappeared, and the laboratory was left in a mess due to the attraction of the space.

The woman, holding the Hogyoku left behind by Urahara Kisuke, vanished into thin air in the laboratory.

After reading Tsukishima's shared memories, it's clear that this woman is the culprit, or even the leader of the imposter Xcution.

"Tsukishima, draw a picture of this woman. Have Yukio search the entire city for her. I want her to regret using our Xcution name to swindle people!" Ginjo angrily clenched his fist.

Just as Tsukishima was about to draw the woman's face in his notebook, Tsuna suddenly called out to Tsuna. Tsuna remembered who was behind this mess; he had been too busy lately and had forgotten about this clown.

"Ginjo, you might really not be willing to arrest this person."

Tsuna's words stunned Ginjo. He retorted righteously, "Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be seduced by beauty? I will definitely arrest her and hand her over to the court for trial!"

"Do you remember when we first met?" Tsuna's words stirred up memories of many years ago in Ginjo. "Back then, I asked you to find someone, the daughter of one of your former comrades. She might still be alive."

"I know, you're talking about Aura, the daughter Angata Tenjin kept locked in the basement for years, preventing her from interacting with society, right? I've checked all the information, but she seems to have vanished into thin air. We searched for a long time, but we could only give up."

Ginjo was also helpless. At that time, Xcution had indeed put in a lot of effort. Combining the Tsuna suddenly brought up this matter, he combined the image of the little girl with the memories given to him by Tsukishima.

"Wait, you're not saying that the guy who locked up that swindler Urahara Kisuke is my little niece, Dohane Aura, are you?!"
