At Aizen's words, Gin's face revealed a flippant smile as he said softly.
"Understood... Since it is Captain Aizen's order, I certainly won't let that fellow enter the tower so easily!"
Aizen smiled and nodded. Then, as though no longer concerned with these matters, he merely gazed down from the tower with his deep eyes, his stare seeming to pierce through the tower walls and directly observe the events unfolding within!
Having received his instructions, Gin nodded lightly before vanishing from where he stood in an instant!
At the top of the tower, Minato's expression was taut.
