As an ordinary person, she had no idea that her every move was being watched.

It was late at night, Shiroki Haruko was lying in bed preparing to sleep when someone sneaked into her room without her noticing.

A man in black pulled a dagger from his clothes and stared coldly at the woman sleeping on the bed.

He was an assassin sent by the Tsunayashiro Clan, ordered by the family elders to assassinate the woman and the three children.

"These are the elders' orders, please don't blame me." The assassin quietly walked behind Shiroki Haruko, raised the dagger in his hand, and suddenly stabbed down.

Just as the dagger was about to fall, the blanket was suddenly pulled up, blocking the assassin's view, and then a knife stabbed from the other side of the blanket.

The knife was so fast and ruthless that the assassin couldn't dodge in time and was stabbed through the shoulder, pinning him to the wall behind him.

"What...?" The assassin was shocked, not expecting this woman to be such a ruthless character.

But when the blanket was pulled down, the assassin discovered that the person lying in the blanket was not Shiroki Haruko, but a rather thin man.

Ironically, he knew this man.

2nd Division Lieutenant- Hachisato! A veteran member of the Gotei 13! A master of Camera Assassination Technique —how did she end up here?

"The Chief Strategist had anticipated this; you people would definitely be unable to hold back." Hachisato ripped off the assassin's mask, revealing the face of a middle-aged man underneath.

At that moment, all the lights in the room were turned on, and Shiroki Haruko came out with her three children, accompanied by several Shinigami from the Gotei 13 as her Guard.

The assassin's face was extremely pale. He moved his mouth as if to bite open the poison sac in his mouth, but the next second, Hachisato pinched his mouth shut and pried the poison sac out of his mouth.

"If you want to die, tell me everything you know before you die, otherwise..." Hachisato sneered.

The assassin's face was ashen; even dying was now a luxury.

At this moment, Yamabuki Chidori walked in from outside. Seeing that the assassin had been captured alive, she smiled slightly and said, "Not bad, bring him here!"

The assassin who was captured was also a member of the Gotei 13, an ordinary member of the 8th Division.

His face turned pale, and he knew he had no chance of survival.

"What do you want to say to me? You can say it now," Yamabuki Chidori said.

"I have nothing to say. I know your methods. Just kill me." The assassin closed his eyes tightly.

His wife and children are also controlled by the Tsunayashiro Clan, and if he reveals the information, his wife and children will suffer a terrible death.

He was even prepared to endure all kinds of torture.

Looking at his resolute expression, Yamabuki Chidori gently patted his shoulder. "No need for that look. I'm not some demon. But you seem to have misunderstood something. Tsunayashiro Clan can kill your wife and children, so can I!"

The assassin shuddered, staring at the man before him in disbelief.

Yamabuki Chidori gently clapped her hands, and a woman with a child was pushed in by two Grim Reapers.

The assassin's mind went blank when he saw the two men.

Those were his wife and youngest daughter.

"Speak! Who told you to do this?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

The assassin closed his eyes in agony. "You can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them forever! Once this storm has passed, they will face retribution just the same, while you will remain unscathed, sitting comfortably in your position."

Yamabuki Chidori hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, I let you see them not to protect them. If you hadn't told me the information, the torture that was going to be inflicted on you would have been inflicted on them instead."

The assassin stared at his threatened wife and daughter, clenching his fists tightly. "You wouldn't do that. I know you too well. You wouldn't want to get your hands dirty..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yamabuki Chidori suddenly drew her sword and severed the woman's neck in one stroke.

Blood gushed out from the major artery!

It splashed onto the assassin's sword!

"Aaaaaah!!!" The assassin frantically lunged forward, never expecting the man to actually make a move.

But he was pinned to the ground by two Grim Reapers.

No matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail.

The little girl seemed completely terrified.

"Oh my! This little girl is so cute. If I slowly stab her body with the knife, she'll cry for a long time! And have you misunderstood me? I'm more wicked than any villain you've ever met. I just use kindness and smiles to disguise myself. You only have one chance left!" Yamabuki Chidori laughed.

The assassin trembled all over; in his eyes, this man was an absolute demon.

But seeing his trembling daughter, the assassin could no longer bear it.

"I said! I'll tell you whatever you want to know! Just don't hurt her!" the assassin shouted, his mental defenses completely collapsing.

"That's right! Let's be open and honest with each other. Now tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

"The Tsunayashiro Clan! The elders of the Tsunayashiro Clan!" the assassin said in a trembling voice. "I'm not the only one like this. Many people have been blackmailed by them. Some are coerced, some are bribed. Many people have no choice but to become their lackeys. The elder of the Tsunayashiro Clan used my family to threaten me and told me that if I was caught, I had to commit suicide, otherwise my family would be retaliated against!" The assassin said with a look of despair.

Not only on this matter, he spilled everything he knew, like beans pouring out.

The official in charge of taking notes next to him filled a whole stack of papers.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Alright, everyone, it's time to get started. Also... Captain Obana, thank you for your help!" Yamabuki Chidori said with a smile.

Obana Danjirou walked in from outside with a warm smile on his face.

The assassin was startled, as if he had realized something, and hurriedly looked at his wife's "corpse," only to see that the body that had been there had vanished like steam.

The assassin suddenly realized what was happening and yelled, "You fucking tricked me!"

Chapter 89: What? A search warrant? I'll write one for you.

Obana Danjirou's Zanpakuto, "Forget Worries," can induce illusions in people. The mother and daughter in the story were not real; they were illusions he created.

During the great war of the Merciless Empire's invasion, Bard, as a member of the Sternritter, was deceived, let alone this ordinary Grim Reaper before him.

"I'm not some kind of demon. I could never do something like harming innocent women and children. I've written down everything you just said. It's too late for you to back out now." Yamabuki Chidori held up the document, which contained evidence of the Tsunayashiro Clan's crimes.

If this is a political struggle where interests are at stake, it's impossible for such a minor figure to bring down the Tsunayashiro Clan.

But this struggle was never asymmetrical from the beginning. Yamabuki Chidori wanted was an excuse. As long as it was proven that the Tsunayashiro Clan was guilty, she would have an excuse to take action.

Similarly, this excuse is used to shut others up; even if he himself doesn't care, he has to put on a convincing act.

"Hachisato," Yamabuki Chidori said in a very calm tone, "Gather all members of the 11th Division, First Division, and 2nd Division, surround the Tsunayashiro Clan, and don't let a single mosquito escape."

Hachisato knew that the Soul Society was about to change.

The Tsunayashiro Clan had been testing Yamabuki Chidori's limits, but now they no longer had the chance.

Tsunayashiro Fūka is writing her will; she'll need it sooner or later.

These old fogies' thinking is outdated. The establishment of the Gotei 13 has brought in too many new things, but these Old Man still cling to their old ideas and believe that everything should be done the old way.

"Don't you know that rules are constantly changing? The strong use rules to bind the weak. Haven't you noticed that we are the ones bound by the rules? You want to break the rules to challenge authority? Do you have the strength?" Tsunayashiro Fūka shook her head bitterly.

In the previous conversation, Yamabuki Chidori had already given him a lot of face. As long as the Tsunayashiro Clan behaves themselves and doesn't cause any more trouble, I can turn a blind eye to what you did before. After all, everyone wants to live a peaceful life.

But they just said that yesterday, and today you sent people to hunt down Fullbringer, and you even got caught red-handed!

Are you out of your minds?

The Tsunayashiro Clan has been able to stand for a million years is that no one strong enough to overturn the rules has appeared during those million years.

Now, there are two such powerful figures, both standing on the opposite side of us. These old fogies still believe that they are the rule-makers, and that everyone else should play the game according to their rules.

Tsunayashiro Fūka's face was full of exhaustion; these people were truly beyond her control.

The moonlight in the sky is still so beautiful; today may be the last time he sees such a beautiful moon.

The elders in the secret chamber awaited the assassin's reply.

But they waited and waited, and the assassin never came.

Logically, the target should only be a woman and three children, so the matter should have been resolved quickly. Why haven't they returned yet?

"Could it be that the assassin was bewitched by that woman's beauty?" one of the elders said dismissively.

"That guy's wife is very beautiful! We should have captured her first. If she were beautiful, we wouldn't have had to suffer such a terrible death!" These elders were completely unaware of the impending doom.

Tsunayashiro Fūka gazed at the moonlight, a servant rushed in, shouting, "Master, something terrible has happened! The house is surrounded! Death is everywhere! What should we do?"

Tsunayashiro Fūka sighed helplessly, "I understand, you may leave."

Then continue to admire the moonlight before you; the moonlight is truly beautiful tonight.

At the same time, the elders of these families were also notified.

The Old Man were immediately enraged.

"Have they lost their minds? How dare they surround the Tsunayashiro Clan? This is Five Noble Clans. The Soul Society is built upon our rules. Who gave those lowly commoners the audacity?" The First Elder slammed his hand on the table. "I'll go out and see who dares to surround our Tsunayashiro Clan."

The situation outside was quite chaotic at the moment.

As one of the Five Noble Clans, the Tsunayashiro Clan maintained a large group of retainers, which could also be called a private army.

These people only obey the orders of the Tsunayashiro Clan, and they would even draw their swords against the Shinigami of the Gotei 13.

"Death, get out of here immediately! This is not a place for you to run wild!" the retainers roared.

Their existence is to deal with what happened today, and there are indeed many skilled individuals among them.

"Alas! It has been forbidden for nobles to keep private armies for a long time, yet Five Noble Clans have your own private armies. I've turned a blind eye to it all. But now these people are pointing knives at me, this is unacceptable!" Yamabuki Chidori looked at the arrogant and domineering retainers in front of her, then turned to the 11th Division's ninja and said, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you rush in?"

With their leader's words, the members of the 11th Division were like they'd been injected with adrenaline. They usually only fought Hollows, but now they could actually fight humans! How exciting!

Although there were many powerful figures among these retainers, the 11th Division, recognized as the strongest fighting force among the Gotei 13, was far beyond their capabilities. The battle was completely one-sided, and in a short while, the corpses of these retainers littered the ground. The members of the 11th Division were still not satisfied and hadn't killed enough! They wanted to cut down even more!

Yamabuki Chidori kicked the door open, revealing a large group of retainers already waiting inside, swords in hand.

"How dare you! How arrogant! Do you know where you are? This is the Tsunayashiro Clan! How dare you, Little Ichi Grim Reaper, trespass here? What is your crime?" the First Elder shouted arrogantly.

The morale of the retainers soared when they saw the Grand Elder arrive.

With a casual flick of her wrist, Yamabuki Chidori wiped away half of their elder's body, leaving no trace of flesh or blood.

It's like a child erasing their pencil drawing with an eraser!

The elder's half-corpse lay stiffly on the ground, probably not understanding even in his dying moments how a mere Grim Reaper dared to lay a hand on him!

The other elders turned pale upon seeing this.

"You... you dare to kill someone... bringing in with a large entourage, do you have a search warrant?!" The other elders said, trembling, still hoping to use the rules to overpower Yamabuki Chidori.

"You need a search warrant? Hachisato, bring me paper and pen, I'll write one for him," said Yamabuki Chidori.

The members of the 11th Division around the room burst into laughter.

"Stop grinning like an idiot. We received a report that the Tsunayashiro Clan is conducting illegal experiments. Search them thoroughly! By the time you're done searching, I'll have almost finished writing this search warrant," Yamabuki Chidori said.

Chapter 90: We have conclusive evidence

In the eyes of the elders of the Tsunayashiro Clan, the situation was completely out of control, and the members of the 11th Division rushed into every corner of the Tsunayashiro Clan like wolves and tigers to begin searching.

Yamabuki Chidori really picked up a pen and paper and slowly began to write a search warrant.

"Chief... Chief Strategist, there's really no need to go to such extremes. We can talk privately! Cough cough, it's inconvenient with so many people here!" the elders hurriedly said.

Even at this point, they still believed they could negotiate with the other party using so-called interests.

Yamabuki Chidori was engrossed in writing her search warrant, without even looking up.

At this point, the Tsunayashiro Clan was in complete chaos and a complete mess.

Many members of the Tsunayashiro Clan were used to being arrogant and domineering. When they saw someone rushing into their room, they cursed without even thinking.

The moment he uttered his first curse, his head was chopped off by the 11th Division.

These people don't care if you're a noble or not. The Captain has given the order: cut or kill as you please. As for the reason for killing?

Do I need a reason to kill you?

"Hurry... hurry up and call the patriarch here. The patriarch and the Chief Strategist some connections; perhaps he can make an exception for you," the elder said to the servants.

The servant replied with a look of despair, "I already went to call the master, but he won't come."

"What on earth is that bastard thinking! This is a time of crisis for the family, and he's just sitting there drinking tea? Does he not want to be the head of the family anymore?" The elders cursed loudly, but when they looked at Yamabuki Chidori beside them, they instinctively lowered their voices.

The search lasted for more than two hours, digging deep into the ground.

Yamabuki Chidori gently blew on the search warrant she had written to dry. At that moment, a team member with a strange expression walked over quickly and whispered something in Yamabuki Chidori's ear.

After listening to the team members' report, Yamabuki Chidori's face remained unchanged, but she was somewhat surprised.
