The Power of the Invaders

"Sawada-sensei, I'm counting on you!" Kyōraku said.

Tsuna rolled his eyes. Now he understood. When Kyōraku was looking for him, he called him Sawada- kun. When he needed something from him, he called him Sawada-sensei.

D. Spade's magic mirror disappeared, Tsuna his Mist-attribute Bankai, but he did not transform the Mist Staff, leaving it to maintain the shape of the earrings.

Aizen is still very strong, but even with the spiritual pressure at the Shikai level, Tsuna wasn't confident he could break Aizen's Illusion. He could just Bankai for a while.

"Oh? I didn't expect Sawada Tsunayoshi to have such power. It seems to be in no way inferior to your swordsmanship," Unohana Retsu said with some surprise.

"Kendo? Captain Unohana, was your last sparring session in kendo?" Kyōraku asked.

"Otherwise, what do you think is worth my time?" Unohana Retsu said calmly.

Kyōraku dared not provoke Unohana Retsu, and could only silently accept this information. Tsuna's power was unknown to him; he had only seen Tsuna use his mist-attribute power so far.

"My swordsmanship is just so-so, so-so." Tsuna repeated it repeatedly to reinforce the impression. He didn't want to join the Fourth Division because he was afraid that Unohana Retsu swordsmanship. Tsuna still couldn't forget the crazy look on Unohana Retsu's face when she was cutting people.

Unohana Retsu smiled slightly. She understood why Tsuna was resistant, but now was not the time to ask him for advice on swordsmanship; business was more important.

Practice makes perfect. With a mist emanating from his hands, Tsuna slowly swept across the corpse. Wherever the mist touched, the illusions were erased, using Illusion to restore the appearance before the Illusion was cast.

An unfamiliar face appeared before everyone. After the original appearance of the corpse was restored, Kyōraku and Ukitake immediately stepped forward to examine it carefully. The corpse died in the same way as Aizen they had seen, with a penetrating wound in the chest. Aizen had simply changed his appearance.

"I don't know him, I've never seen him before," Kyōraku said.

"I have no recollection of it either," Ukitake chimed in.

"What's so strange about that? If you were doing this, you would definitely choose someone with a weak presence, the kind of person who would disappear without the other members noticing," Tsuna said.

"Indeed, I will have someone check the rosters of all the teams to see who is not in Seireitei," Kyōraku said.

"Let's get this straight, don't blame us if someone dies." Tsuna gave a heads-up beforehand, mainly to avoid trouble and having to prove his innocence.

"No, I, Jūshirō Ukitake, promise I will never do anything to hurt my friends," Ukitake assured.

"Tch~"

A voice, neither too loud nor too soft, reached everyone's ears, making Ukitake somewhat embarrassed. The person who was looking down on him was Kugo Ginjo, whose Substitute Shinigami Badge was issued by Ukitake. However, Ginjo had once been hunted down by the Soul Society.

"Cough, Ginjo, after this incident, I will find out the truth for you." Ukitake for the first time since he acquired the prosthetic lung.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, is the sword next to the deceased real?"

While everyone was talking, Unohana Retsu examined the corpse once again. Having already checked it multiple times, she quickly noticed something suspicious: the Zanpakuto Kyoka Suigetsu lying next to the deceased was completely unchanged.

"It's true, I've dispelled the Illusion," Tsuna said.

"This sword is Kyoka Suigetsu, Aizen really so willing to release it to deceive people?" Ukitake asked, the subtle spiritual pressure emanating from the Zanpakuto clearly belonging to Aizen.

"Kyoka Suigetsu is a water-type Zanpakuto. Could it be that Aizen has been hiding an illusion-type Zanpakuto all along? Or does he have another accomplice?" Seeing the physical form of Kyoka Suigetsu, Kyōraku had many more guesses.

"Stop guessing. Kyoka Suigetsu is just an illusion-type Zanpakuto, but Aizen has been disguising it as a water-type one." Tsuna couldn't stand Kyōraku's off-topic guess and quickly brought him back on track.

"But if Kyoka Suigetsu is here, how come Captain Hitsugaya and the others are being manipulated?" With more and more doubts arising, Ukitake couldn't figure it out.

"I've encountered something like this before." Tsuna's words drew everyone's attention. "When Rukia Kuchiki went to the World of the Living, she said that her Zanpakuto had been switched. It was her spiritual pressure, but it wasn't the real Zanpakuto. This prevented her from Shikai and forced her to give her Bleach power to humans."

"So, Aizen was behind Rukia Kuchiki's affair too? But how did he manage to replicate an identical Zanpakuto?" Kyōraku asked.

"Isn't it simple to do that? Tsukishima, come here and give this sword a good whack," Tsuna said.

Kyōraku and the others then focused their attention on the taciturn, slender man. Tsukishima didn't waste any words; he knew that Tsuna wanted him to use the power of the Book of the End.

The bookmark transformed into a katana and stuck into the Kyoka Suigetsu Water Moon on the bed. The katana had a very short history; in the blink of an eye, Tsukishima received all the information.

Tsukishima swiftly stabbed Tsuna in the chest, instantly enraging the group. All three captains drew their swords, pointing them at Tsukishima. Tsuna was a crucial source of information; if he were killed by Tsukishima, how could they possibly continue questioning him about Aizen?

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, Tsuna quickly pleaded, "Stop, stop! This is Tsukishima's ability; it won't hurt anyone."

The three captains then noticed that the knife pulled from Tsuna's chest was completely bloodless, and Tsuna himself had no wounds whatsoever.

Apart from Ginjo and Tsuna, Tsukishima didn't bother to introduce his abilities to anyone else. After inserting the bookmark into the Book of the End, he stood behind Ginjo.

"Well, to put it simply, Tsukishima can see things from the past, so I know where this sword came from."

"This sword was formed by Aizen drawing out his spiritual pressure and injecting it into an empty shell resembling an Asauchi. The whole process took place in a secret laboratory. It's a fake Kyoka Suigetsu."

"The next time I'll use this knife is when I stabbed this guy to death in the 5th Division. He was unconscious at the time," Tsuna said, pointing to the unfortunate man on the bed.

"Aizen, does he have that ability?" Kyōraku asked. Aizen's abilities were indeed comprehensive; he could handle all squad affairs perfectly. But he had never heard of Aizen conducting experiments. Wasn't that the job of the Squad 12?

"Here's another piece of information for you: Aizen's research capabilities are no less than those of the Squad 12. He should have a secret research lab in Soul Society," Tsuna said.

"Aizen, he's been hiding this well all along?" Ukitake said.

"Sawada-sensei, is Aizen the one hiding in Central 46? What was his purpose in orchestrating all of this?" Kyōraku asked directly. He didn't care how much Tsuna knew; he just wanted to get some information.

"That's right, we were lured here by Aizen. The bait was Rukia Kuchiki. The reason he lured us here was probably to muddy the waters of the Seireitei. After all, there are always flaws in faking death." Tsuna said, pointing to the corpse.

"We also roughly know Aizen's plan, and since we have a group of friends who want to take revenge on Aizen, we might as well go along with it and come to Soul Society."

"Revenge? Could you tell me a little about it?" Kyōraku asked.

"The Bleach who were forced to leave Soul Society a hundred years ago."

"The Hollowfication Incident!" Ukitake was very attentive to any suspicious events in Soul Society, immediately mentioned the Hollowfication Incident that had wiped out most of the captains of the Gotei 13.

"No wonder you were with Yoruichi. That means Hirako Shinji have also come to Soul Society?" Kyōraku was already silently considering whether he could join forces with Hirako and the others.

"That's right, but they're all hiding, waiting for the last moment to show themselves. Given their understanding of the Seireitei, you won't be able to find them in a few days." Tsuna dismissed Kyōraku's idea.

"Sawada-sensei, if we could get in touch with Hirako Shinji, it would be a great help," Ukitake said, hoping that Tsuna could help.

"Don't even think about it. Those guys have a huge prejudice against Seireitei, just like when you first met Ginjo."

"Hey, Tsuna, let's have a proper chat, don't drag us into this." Ginjo said somewhat embarrassedly. Before meeting Ukitake, he had a deep prejudice against Ukitake. Only after spending time with him did he realize that Ukitake was just a nice guy.

"That's a real shame. If we could have contacted Hirako beforehand, our strength would have increased significantly, especially since many of us were injured," Ukitake said regretfully.

Tsuna scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, realizing that the significant weakening of the Gotei 13 was inseparable from his group's actions.

Aside from the First Division, Soi Fon of the Squad 2 has already achieved very good results, and is currently working with Yoruichi to consolidate Flash Cry's achievements;

Gin Ichimaru and Tsuna of the 3rd Division tested each other's C.A.I. System, resulting in some minor injuries.

Unohana Retsu of the Fourth Division was severely injured by Tsuna's Rain-attribute Bankai and Resurrección. Currently, only the surface injuries have healed, and there are still hidden injuries inside her body.

Aizen of the 5th Division is currently outwardly dead.

Byakuya Kuchiki of the 6th Division almost died at the hands of Ichigo the Bull Ichigo, having been injured by Tensa Zangetsu Ichigo;

Sajin Komamura of the Seventh Division was hit by Chad's full-force punch to Devil's Left Arm left arm, sustaining external injuries. Later, he was hit by Tsuna's Tsukuyomi, a Bankai mist attribute, causing mental damage.

Shunsui Kyōraku of the 8th Division was injured in battle with his Bankai Toshiro;

Kaname Tōsen of the 9th Division will inevitably be severely injured if he takes a direct hit from Tsuna's Supernova attack.

Toshiro Hitsugaya of the 10th Division is unconscious due to Aizen's control and the external injuries sustained by Kyōraku and Ukitake.

Kenpachi Zaraki of the Squad 11 suffered from the lack of special abilities, and after being directly Rain Dog Menace, he was seriously injured by Tsuna.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri of the Squad 12, if Uryū hadn't had a change of heart, would have already turned into Reishi to nourish the land of Soul Society;

Jūshirō Ukitake of the 13th Division was injured in a battle with Bankai in his Toshiro.

In other words, apart from the injuries sustained by Aizen Toshiro Hitsugaya, Kyōraku, and Ukitake during their battles, all the others were inextricably linked to Tsuna's group. In fact, Tsuna single-handedly wiped out most of the Gotei 13's fighting force.

Thinking about this, Tsuna realized that the power of his group of Ryoka was truly formidable. He even suspected that Tsuna might be Aizen it all, having his group weaken the Seireitei's strength.

If Aizen's schemes were this deep, Tsuna couldn't understand why he would send his own people up here. Gin Ichimaru was one thing, but if Kaname Tōsen had really severely injured Tsuna, did he really intend for Kaname Tōsen kill him?

After all, Tsuna didn't believe Aizen could predict something like Hyper Intuition.
