Destroy these families bit by bit.
That way, he could weaken Soul Society's strength while also removing an obstacle for himself.
Killing two birds with one stone—why not?
Only after hearing Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's full analysis of Soul Society did Uchiha Hikaru realize that there were so many twists and turns hidden within it.
Especially the Four Great Families, who were brimming with ambition and had always wanted to replace Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni as Captain-Commander!
If I hadn't come to this other world, I would have believed in the peaceful facade of Soul Society! Uchiha Hikaru thought. Sure enough, wherever there are people, there are conflicts! And wherever there are conflicts, there will be raging undercurrents and secret schemes!
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said somewhat wearily, "I've been observing and searching for a suitable successor."
"Someone to take my place. I'm old now, and there are indeed things beyond my strength."
Uchiha Hikaru shot him a sidelong glance and looked at him speechlessly. "Aizen Sosuke, Toshiro, and Kyoraku Shunsui aren't all suitable candidates?"
What he did not say was, Even in the Shinigami world, you wanted me to take your position?
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni glanced at Uchiha Hikaru and said, "In a hundred years, Toshiro may be able to surpass the other captains and become the strongest."
"But for now, he is still far too immature!"
"Kyoraku Shunsui is indeed the most suitable candidate at present! But there is always a faint sense that he may not be up to the task!"
"As for Aizen Sosuke, that man has already defected. I truly cannot understand why. In Soul Society, he was already at the very top of the upper ranks."
"His own strength could also rank among the top three! So why did he still choose to defect?"
Uchiha Hikaru sighed.
