"Miss Yoruichi, what else did the Chief Strategist say?" Kisuke Urahara asked.
"He didn't say anything. You know how deep that Old Man's schemes run, don't you? He won't tell anyone about things he doesn't want to talk about. Even Captain Unohana was kept in the dark." Yoruichi looked displeased. People who played at schemes were all heartless.
Kisuke Urahara gazed at the starry sky. Aizen Sōsuke and Yamabuki Chidori—were these two really completely unrelated? Why do I find that hard to believe?
Aizen had spent five hundred years under Yamabuki Chidori. It could be said that Yamabuki Chidori had watched Aizen grow up, little by little.
How could he not know about such a huge change in Aizen?
It made no sense!
Or perhaps... even Aizen himself... was merely a chess piece.
Chapter 512: Teacher, It's My Turn Now
The next day, Ichigo went to school as usual. Orihime Inoue and Chado Yasutora were there too. Only Uryu Ishida had taken sick leave. It seemed his body would need quite some time to recover.
They were just about to start class when their homeroom teacher walked in and said to them with not the slightest smile, "We have a new student joining us today. Let's give him a warm welcome."
What era was this? They still had transfer students?
Kurosaki Ichigo looked curious. Then he saw a blond-haired boy walk in with a wide grin. The boy picked up a piece of chalk and wrote a line on the blackboard.
Somewhat surprisingly, the writing was completely upside down.
Shinji Hirako.
"That's my name!" Hirako said with a cheerful grin.
He was one of the few people who knew the truth. Just last night, Shinji Hirako had received an order from Yamabuki Chidori.
"Teach Kurosaki Ichigo how to use Hollowfication."
