Battle and Schemes, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi

Ulquiorra Cifer.

The second Hollow after Starrk to become a fully autonomous Arrancar, he was the one who had stepped in to block the sudden strike.

However, someone did not appreciate it.

"Bastard! I don't need your help!"

Seeing Ulquiorra block his opponent, the wolf-shaped Hollow immediately shouted, his irritation obvious from his voice.

Ulquiorra used Sonído, instantly appearing before Gin Ichimaru and bringing the sword in his hand down upon his head.

Gin Ichimaru leapt backward, immediately widening the distance between himself and the main group.

Aizen glanced at Ulquiorra, who was pursuing Gin Ichimaru, his expression unchanged.

He
