The Unforgiven from Shinigami
Shiraishi gave up the surveillance.
Aura Michibane's body is quite sensitive.
He didn't know how the other party was able to detect the anomaly outside; all he could say was that the Soul King was truly a treasure trove of knowledge.
Shiraishi remembers that the official novel mentioned that Fullbringer are born carrying fragments of the Soul King, the difference being that some are more than others.
Aura Michibane was very fortunate to obtain the complete Soul King Saketsu, which grants her immense power.
Given enough materials, she can create anything, whether it be living things or space.
Perhaps it was because of the Soul King's Saketsu that she was much more sensitive than ordinary Fullbringer, able to detect extremely subtle changes in Reishi.
Fortunately, Shiraishi also has a sensitive constitution.
He realized that if he continued to be monitored, the chances of him being exposed were very high.
He immediately abandoned his surveillance, retreated to a deserted alleyway just outside the noble street, and softly called out, " Azashiro, Azashiro."
He shouted twice in a row.
The Reishi surged and solidified in the alley, forming a tall, slender figure with two cockroach-like bangs hanging down his forehead. Sōya Azashiro's expression remained as cold as ever. "What is it?"
Shiraishi rubbed his hands together and said, "Could you please keep an eye on Tsunayashiro Tokinada?"
"Is it that nobleman you were chasing?" asked Sōya Azashiro.
"That's right, I made a pact with someone to catch him doing something wrong."
Shiraishi, with a "we're good brothers" smile, stepped forward and said, "You wouldn't refuse to help with something so small, would you?"
"I'll keep an eye out for you. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"Don't rush, I also want to ask, when are we going to Hueco Mundo again?"
Shiraishi quickly stopped him and asked the question that was on his mind.
The journey to Hueco Mundo by Number One was tiring, but the rewards were plentiful.
This made him eager to go back again and dominate the battlefield.
Sōya Azashiro pursed her lips.
"Haha, why not tell him the truth? Just say you were Arrancar defeated by the Arrancar created by Aizen in Hueco Mundo, and you're too afraid to go Hueco Mundo for a while. Ask him to help you resolve your troubles."
Urozakuro would never miss an opportunity to mock her master. She wrapped her arms around his neck and chuckled, "Just ask, and he'll definitely solve it for you. Isn't that easy?"
"Shut up."
Sōya Azashiro let out a low growl, his mood briefly flustered before quickly calming down. His face was once again covered with frost as he said in a deep voice, "You don't need to rush. I'll let you know when the time comes."
He doesn't mind his Zanpakuto's abilities being exposed, but he's not so magnanimous as to tell others about Zanpakuto weaknesses.
Even allies are the same.
Moreover, Shiraishi is not the kind of ally you can completely trust; his relationship with the Shinigami is quite complex, and it can't be described as antagonistic.
Some things are better kept hidden.
Sōya Azashiro disappeared into thin air. Since the number of Gigai in the Research and Development Institute had not increased to the previous level, he did not intend to enter Hueco Mundo.
Otherwise, he would be in a very passive position when facing those Arrancar; a single Kidō wouldn't be enough to deal with so many Menos Grande.
"Don't linger too long," Shiraishi shouted. Watching Sōya Azashiro disappear, he didn't stay in the alley any longer. He used the Steel Tempest to return to the main entrance of the Noble Street and swaggered away from there.
If Tsunayashiro Tokinada were to commit evil deeds in the Seireitei, he would not be able to hide it from Sōya Azashiro.
It's only a matter of time before I receive a kiss from Soi Fon.
In high spirits, Shiraishi decided to return to the captain's bedroom for in-depth training in Bankai techniques, while also waiting for Nemu Kurotsuchi's arrival.
At midday, sunlight streamed into the courtyard, and Aizen sat in the shade of the corridor, leaning against a pillar, looking down at the documents delivered from the First Division.
" The Stealth Force, the Kidō Corps, the Gotei 13, and now another Gold Seal Unit has arrived, directly under the Golden Seal Noble Council and commanded by the Shihoin Clan, one of the Four Great Noble Clans."
Aizen pushed up his glasses. He remembered that a nobleman from the Shihoin Clan had previously tried to establish the Gold Seal Unit, but it was rejected by both the Central 46 Chambers and Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
Now he suddenly agrees.
Has something happened?
Aizen his fingers on the paper, his eyes thoughtful. If something really happened, it was most likely that Tsunayashiro Tokinada was behind it all.
Long ago, Aizen had already seen how hopeless that person's character was.
If that person is present, and something bad happens, it's almost certain to be pinned on him.
If that's the case, perhaps this is a good opportunity.
Aizen's fingers tapped on the paper instead. He hadn't clashed with Tsunayashiro Tokinada before, partly because that kind of rotten-to-the-bone guy was indeed not someone to mess with.
On the other hand, there is little conflict of interest.
He learned everything he wanted to know from the Tsunayashiro Clan through Takehiko Tsunayashiro, so there was no need to continue provoking Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
The situation has now changed.
Aizen was very interested in the Soul King Fragment hidden in the Tsunayashiro Clan.
According to the deceased Takehiko, the Tsunayashiro Clan had been secretly conducting experiments on Artificial Soul King for a long time.
To this end, they secretly killed many Fullbringer in the World of the Living Seireitei, hiding their corpses in a certain place.
He wanted to verify Genjirō's theory by conducting a fusion experiment of two Hōgyoku made of different materials. He needed to convert a large number of Soul King Fragment into Soul King's Power to drive the fusion of the two Hōgyoku.
With this interest involved, conflict is inevitable.
Aizen thought for a moment, then called out into the room, " Hinamori reading."
Heavy footsteps echoed from inside the house, and a girl with a bun hairstyle rushed out, wearing a white apron and with darker skin on her fair face. " Captain Aizen, I'm sorry, please give me a little more time. I promise I'll cook lunch."
She quickly bowed, thinking that she had been called over because she was too slow.
Aizen handed over the document and said, "This is a document from the First Division. It asks me to go and check on the selection of the Gold Seal Unit tomorrow to determine whether they can become reliable combat forces."
I can't work tomorrow; I need to finish those things today. I need your help. Let's talk about lunch later.
Seeing how flustered Momo Hinamori was, he didn't think she could cook anything good, so he simply canceled the plan.
Anyway, I'm busy with work.
" The Gold Seal Unit?" Momo Hinamori took the document, glanced at it quickly, and her little face was full of reluctance. "Then there's nothing I can do. I'll go turn off the fire."
"Yes, I'll try your cooking again next time I have the chance."
Aizen patted her head and followed her to the kitchen, where the scene was a mess, with blackened food simmering in a pot.
Sometimes, being busy with work isn't a bad thing.
Aizen thought to himself that he had escaped death this time.
