Suzumushi

As soon as the words were spoken, the three members of the Ninth Division all changed color and placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.

"What did you say?"

One of the team members shouted angrily.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to the Fifth Seat Tōsen!"

"Even the Stealth Force shouldn't be this arrogant!"

Kaname Tōsen stop his teammate, his expression remaining calm, but the veins on his hand, which was resting on the hilt of his sword, were slightly visible.

He was actually hesitant.

Engaging in a direct confrontation with the Stealth Force would be a very unwise move.

Although he was not afraid of Yoruichi Shihōin, Kisuke Urahara in the Second Division was someone that Lord Aizen had warned him to be wary of.

If this matter escalates, it will inevitably attract widespread attention.

However, Lord Aizen's experiment is progressing steadily, and it would be inappropriate for this to cause unexpected interference.

Amamiya Shin, that damned piece of trash, couldn't even take down a few Stealth Force...

If this person falls into the hands of the Stealth Force, and they investigate him closely, they are very likely to discover that he is closely related to the disappearance of the Tenth Division members.

Although Lord Aizen has a backup plan and can intervene again to clean up the mess, the greatest help I can give him is to resolve this matter here.

Kaname Tōsen silently pondered the matter.

If he could temporarily control the people in front of him with his Zanpakuto abilities, he might be able to forcibly take them away.

Even if it causes animosity towards the Stealth Force, it's worth it.

Thinking of this, Kaname Tōsen a deep breath, and his voice suddenly became firm.

"Although you have a mission to complete, we also have our own internal arrest duties."

"Furthermore, this person is a deserter from the Ninth Division, whose influence is far-reaching. He should be detained and interrogated by our division."

"We will report everything we have learned from the interrogation as soon as possible, so your investigation has not been neglected."

"But I wonder what other demands the Stealth Force might have?"

He stepped forward, his Reiatsu subtly radiating outwards.

"Or is it that the Stealth Force knows this person's background is connected to the nobility and intends to protect him, which is why they dare not hand him over to my Ninth Division for interrogation?"

"If this person dies in the Stealth Force later, and the trail goes cold, who will bear the responsibility for the consequences?"

This is a very strong statement, a blatant questioning.

Soi Fon frowned.

Although Kaname Tōsen's initial points were somewhat reasonable, his subsequent change in attitude was rather unusual.

The forcefulness was somewhat illogical.

Logically speaking, the Central 46 Stealth Force, holds a special position, and other divisions usually give them some respect.

But Kaname Tōsen's current behavior suggests he's determined to snatch her away.

Could it be that there's something shady about Amamiya Shin that's involved in some disreputable matter within the Ninth Division?

While Soi Fon frowned in thought, Wang Xun had already started spewing insults.

He won't indulge Kaname Tōsen.

"The Fifth Seat Tōsen, what a prestigious title!"

Wang Xun's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of sarcasm.

"Is there any explicit rule that says prisoners captured by another team must be returned to this team? And there should always be a first-come, first-served principle."

"We arrested the man, we did all the work, but what did you guys do from beginning to end? You didn't even leave behind a single useful piece of information."

"Now that everything's over, you show up and think you can take them away with just a few words? The Ninth Division's job is way too easy."

"Besides..."

Wang Xun stopped in front of Kaname Tōsen, his eyes blazing.

"As you said, this person's experiments involve nobles and have far-reaching implications. The Stealth Force Central 46 is the most suitable team to handle such sensitive cases."

"We also have reason to suspect that you might be involved with this person, or that there's something shady going on behind the scenes that makes you so eager to take him away?"

Kaname Tōsen's expression finally changed.

He truly hadn't expected that an ordinary Stealth Force could speak so sharply, hitting the nail on the head with every word.

Kaname Tōsen a dark expression, then responded in a low voice.

"It seems neither of us can convince the other."

His hand slowly drew his Zanpakuto.

"We were simply acting in the course of our duties. If you insist on taking this person away..."

A flash of light, and the cold blade pointed at Wang Xun.

"Then we have no choice but to offend them."

Soi Fon's pupils contracted.

The toxins in her body had not been cleared, and her movements were still sluggish. When she saw Kaname Tōsen draw her sword, she immediately raised her Reiatsu and stepped forward.

"Kaname Tōsen, are you trying to instigate internal strife?!"

"Internal strife?"

Kaname Tōsen shook his head.

"That's not my intention. Since your team believes you have the capability to detain a high-profile fugitive from the Ninth Division, then let me test my skills and see if I'm truly qualified."

Seeing this, the three members of the Ninth Division, though still doubtful, drew their swords, only to hear Kaname Tōsen's voice suddenly become fierce.

"Step back! This is my personal matter and has nothing to do with you."

These words sounded very respectable, but they took all the blame upon themselves.

After saying that, he turned to Wang Xun and the others.

Wang Xun glanced at Kaname Tōsen and pursed his lips.

After all that useless talk, they still had to take action to snatch him away.

He hadn't yet released his Shikai, and was therefore on guard against him suddenly making a move.

"Since the Fifth Seat Tōsen insist on having a competition..."

Wang Xun slightly raised the tip of his knife.

"Then let's go."

Before he could finish speaking, Kaname Tōsen move.

Instead of using Shunpo forward, he lowered the tip of his sword to the ground, and the Zanpakuto in his hand emitted a strange ringing sound.

At the same time, the members of the Ninth Division suddenly realized what was happening, raised their hands to cover their ears, and stepped back.

"Sing, you Suzumushi."

Kaname Tōsen uttered the release incantation, the shape of his sword remained unchanged, but the Reiatsu on its surface began to vibrate rapidly, producing strange sounds.

The sound was initially ordinary, but then it subtly synchronized with a heartbeat and resonated with Reiatsu.

Suzumushi: First Form ·Insect chirping.

The sound waves spread invisibly, first enveloping Soi Fon.

She already had poison in her body, and at this moment she felt a ringing in her ears, her consciousness went haywire, her body swayed, and she almost lost her balance.

Sugimoto and Kawasaki were also affected. Their faces turned pale, and they knelt on the ground, feeling the voice drilling straight into their minds, causing their Reiatsu to stagnate.

Wang Xun also felt a buzzing in his head, and then system subtitles appeared before his eyes.

[Analyzing Zanpakuto: Suzumushi]

[Parsing progress 10%...20%...]

Almost as soon as he began analyzing the sound, Wang Xun sensed that the buzzing sound was gradually diminishing its influence on his mind.

But he also looked dazed, staggered half a step, and lowered his knife slightly.

Kaname Tōsen sense the changes in the four people's states, and he was certain of it.

Without further hesitation, he suddenly accelerated and pounced on Amamiya Shin, who was lying on the ground.

Once we take this person away, our mission will be complete.

However, just as he passed by Wang Xun...

Wang Xun, who should have been distracted by the chirping of insects, suddenly moved.

The blade flashed like lightning, aimed straight for Kaname Tōsen's ribs!

Kaname Tōsen greatly alarmed and hastily parried with his sword, but was knocked back by the unexpected blow.

Wang Xun closed in again, and the two exchanged blows several times. The insect chirping effect was interrupted, Soi Fon and the others finally recovered.

Kaname Tōsen sensed Wang Xun's direction, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face for the first time.

"How... how could this be?"

Is that strange?

Wang Xun flicked his wrist.

"Your sound wave hypnosis is indeed powerful, but unfortunately..."

He shook his head; the sluggishness in his mind was gradually fading as the analysis progressed.

"My hearing isn't very good; I can't hear clearly."
