The Unforgiven from Shinigami
After much deliberation.
Ultimately, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto couldn't make up his mind; perhaps things hadn't reached that point yet, and there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
The atmosphere at the scene was somber.
Shiraishi didn't want to stay any longer; he had his own plans. He turned to leave.
Jūshirō Ukitake called out, " Shiraishi, the misunderstanding has been cleared up. Your position as acting captain is now..."
"Not interested."
Shiraishi waved his hand, deliberately saying, "That's your business, Shinigami. What's it to me?"
"At this critical juncture, your combat strength is also an indispensable part."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto in a low voice, and his long-standing position of authority had instilled in him a style where it was difficult for him to lower his head and speak.
Why act so arrogant when you need a favor?
Shiraishi ignored him completely and walked away with a single Steel Tempest.
" Captain-Commander Yamamoto, I'll go and try to talk to him."
Retsu Unohana quickly stepped forward and said very respectfully.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto nodded, which was taken as agreement.
She caught up with him in Shunpo.
Shiraishi hadn't run far, only thirty kilometers, and landed outside a small grove of trees where the sun couldn't reach him. The man turned around and asked, "Why did you chase after me?"
His tone was quite resentful.
He knew full well that his previous actions were indeed questionable, and that adopting a high-handed attitude without proving his innocence would only make things worse.
Anger can only be expressed when one is proven to be right.
Retsu Unohana stepped forward in the sunlight, her eyes full of gentleness, and said, "Alright, this time it was my and Captain-Commander Yamamoto's fault; we shouldn't have doubted you."
But Captain-Commander Yamamoto bears the safety of the Seireitei, so he has to be careful. Please understand him.
"Hmph, I trusted you so much, and what did I get in return? Now I'm filled with rage towards you."
Shiraishi stood with his hands on his hips, his expression still one of indignation.
"Okay, don't be angry, I'll help you calm down~"
Her tone remained gentle, and her body remained exceptionally supple.
"Hmph, woman, do you think this will satisfy me? Let me tell you, I'm not someone who gives in so easily."
Shiraishi's mouth was stubborn, but his bones were soft.
"Are you sure you don't need my help?"
Retsu Unohana spoke softly, her clear eyes misting over, and a blush like the sunset rising on her cheeks.
She approached.
The pure white belt around his waist was flung to the treetop, and his Shihakushō became loose.
Her beautiful hair cascaded over her shoulders, a strand of which was picked up and bitten between her thin lips.
Her eyes and brows exuded a captivating charm.
"Gudong."
Shiraishi swallowed hard, his previous attitude changing drastically. He said seriously, "Since you've come to apologize sincerely, as a magnanimous man, I won't hold a grudge any longer and will mercifully forgive you this time."
"Then I really need to thank you."
Retsu Unohana spoke, she covered his lips with hers.
They walked in circles into the grove.
Shiraishi was forced to make a less-than-ideal decision, making Kūkaku wait.
They waited until nightfall.
The stars shone brightly, but the moonlight was dim.
Shiraishi hurriedly got up, put on his Shikai outfit, tied his gold leather jacket around his waist, looked up at the sky, and thought to himself that he was about to be severely scolded by Kūkaku.
It's not his fault; the enemy is just too difficult to deal with.
Retsu Unohana out of the woods, her long black hair flowing freely, her face as beautiful as a peach blossom, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with a smile. "Not bad, I'm very satisfied with your performance this time."
"Hmph, I told you so. Last time I wasn't in good form and didn't perform to my full potential."
A hint of pride shone through Shiraishi's face.
"Alright, I look forward to seeing you perform even better. Now go back, don't keep them waiting too long."
Retsu Unohana whispered in her ear.
Shiraishi realized, "I'm leaving now, goodbye."
"Hmm." Retsu Unohana nodded. Men are sometimes just like children; they need to be coaxed and praised.
Women are the same.
She thought of Isane Kotetsu; he must have been filled with surprise upon receiving the news that Kūkaku was not dead.
Retsu Unohana Shunpo to return to the Fourth Division barracks.
Shiraishi has arrived at the courtyard of the Tenth Division barracks.
This is the meeting place he and Kūkaku Shiba had agreed upon.
The person is not here.
The courtyard was empty, and most of the lights in the barracks were on, with the faint sound of voices audible.
The captain's room, which had been damaged, was repaired by the Kuchiki Clan's wealth and became unremarkable.
" Shiraishi!"
A voice filled with resentment erupted, and a petite figure rushed forward, brandishing a knife with murderous intent.
Shiraishi turned his head to the side.
One person stood in his way.
bite.
The two knives clashed.
The glint of the blade illuminated a cute girl with a bun hairstyle, her face contorted with rage. " Hitsugaya, get out of my way!"
" Hinamori, I won't let you lay a hand on Captain Shiraishi."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya didn't budge, remaining in his position to fulfill his duty as the Third Seat of the Tenth Division.
"This guy tried to kill Captain Aizen! He forced him to leave! And he even slandered Captain Aizen!"
Momo Hinamori was in tears.
The information regarding Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tōsen's betrayal and crimes had already been disseminated to the various divisions.
As the vice-captain of the Fifth Division, she naturally received the message, but she didn't believe it, thinking it was all a conspiracy by Shiraishi.
Despite the First Division's explanation, Shiraishi remained the acting captain of the Tenth Division and had not betrayed them.
She still firmly believed that Shiraishi was the bad guy.
Captain Aizen can't be a bad guy!
Shiraishi turned around and said, " Hitsugaya, you may leave now."
" Captain Shiraishi."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya turned his head and said, " Hinamori was just temporarily blinded by Aizen."
"Don't worry, am I the kind of person who would cruelly destroy a beautiful woman?"
Shiraishi patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to sheathe his Zanpakuto, then turned to Momo Hinamori and said, "This is a good opportunity, so let me tell you."
Hinamori, longing is the emotion furthest from understanding.
Momo Hinamori was slightly taken aback and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"You don't understand? Then I'll try to explain it as simply as possible. Captain Aizen wouldn't do that. Captain Aizen isn't that kind of person."
As Shiraishi spoke, he brushed aside her blade. "This Aizen you're portraying is just a figment of your own imagination, an image you can't or lack, projecting onto Aizen. It's a false illusion, not the real Sōsuke Aizen."
Are you saying that Captain Aizen has been lying to me all along?
Momo Hinamori reacted violently, unable to even control her Reiatsu.
Shiraishi calmly said, "No, Aizen is an evil person, but his concern for you may not be fake. However, the evil things he did are also a fact."
Ultimately, choosing to abandon you and create New World is an undeniable fact.
"H-How could this be..." Momo Hinamori wavered.
She was innocent, not stupid. She didn't experience the huge shock of Aizen's death in the original story, wasn't misled into suspecting Gin Ichimaru, and ultimately attacked Hitsugaya.

Although she's mentally unstable, she hasn't completely collapsed yet.
With a clang, the knife fell to the ground. Momo Hinamori squatted down, covered her face, and wept bitterly.
" Hinamori..." Tōshirō Hitsugaya gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. The sun he had sworn to protect was now shrouded in dark clouds, and a torrential rain was falling.
He was powerless to do anything and felt deeply helpless.
Shiraishi didn't stay. He turned around and went upstairs to the second floor, where a person was kneeling in the room.
