Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 224 222. People have different attitudes towards joy and sorrow

In July, when the northern hemisphere of the real world entered the scorching summer, the Soul Society's Soul Society's Soul Rei Tei also ushered in another summer.

The heat wave affected everyone in the Soul Society, especially the few Death Gods of the Kuchiki family.

"Byakuya, this time, it is definitely their Tsunayashiro family that is bullying too much!

I can't stand it!"

Kuchiki Hibiki stood in the main hall and roared at Kuchiki Byakuya in front of him.

Because just yesterday, the wife of their Kuchiki family head was almost secretly abducted by a member of the Tsunayashiro family during the chaos. If it weren't for the captain of the 5th Division, Aizen Sosuke, who happened to come to support because of the sudden outbreak of the Zanpakutō materialization incident near the Kuchiki family, I'm afraid Kuchiki Hime is now in danger.

It's a pity that the member of the Tsunayashiro family chose to commit suicide when he saw the truth, leaving no handle, otherwise just for this matter, he, Tsunayashiro Kamiya, would have an unshirkable responsibility.

Instead of the current situation, Tsunayashiro Kanhara can use the fact that this matter is purely the personal behavior of the dead person to prevaricate.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is what the Tsunayashiro family wants to do to the Kuchiki family, who exposed Higashino Hideichi and caused the Tsunayashiro family to lose a high-quality thug that can be publicly used.

"This matter is a bit strange, and we can't just draw conclusions like this."

When Kuchiki Byakuya heard the news yesterday, he was as angry as Kuchiki Hibiki, but after a night, after settling his wife Hisa down and confirming that she was not in danger of life, Kuchiki Byakuya calmed down.

He realized that there might be something unusual in this matter.

For example, has Tsunayashiro Kanhara really expanded to this extent?

His Kuchiki family just didn't want to confront the Tsunayashiro family head-on, which doesn't mean that they have no strength.

The connections accumulated over the years by relying on the position of captain of the 6th Division of the Gotei 13 Division are not something that the Tsunayashiro family can erase overnight.

"Why is there something strange?!

Even if there might be something wrong with the matter of Hiruzen, what about Rukia? So many Shinigami saw Rukia being blown to death!

Have you forgotten what the captain of the 12th Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, told the captain-general yesterday, Byakuya?!

'This is a new weapon that I secretly developed, the meat bomb. No information about it has been released to the public yet. It was only not long ago that a batch of the first generation of test products was stolen after Higashino Hideichi was arrested.'

These are Mayuri Kurotsuchi's original words!

Except for the five noble parents who have the authority to enter the 12th Division without applying and view those secret materials, who else can do it, without alerting a captain and so many Shinigami guarding the 12th Division, and take away those secret weapons in such a place?"

Kikyuu Kuchiki was extremely angry. He was actually angry about something he didn't say, that is, his Zanpakutō's ability to materialize was used by someone else!

Those guys who appeared near the Kuchiki family that day and looked like materialized Zanpakuto were actually not the Zanpakuto of the Death Gods at all. Kuchiki Hibiki had confirmed this through his Zanpakuto Muramasa.

Someone else used some different Zanpakuto abilities to impersonate his Zanpakuto abilities.

Although the final blame was firmly placed on Higashino Hideichi, who has now escaped from the Maggot Nest and has no news, Kuchiki Hibiki still felt that he was offended.

He will definitely find the guy who dared to impersonate his Zanpakuto abilities!

"What you said is indeed correct."

Kuchiki Byakuya also showed a tangled expression on his face after hearing what Kuchiki Hibiki said.

To be honest, because he had just met Rukia not long ago, he had not had time to build up any deep feelings for Rukia. Now he can only be regarded as loving the house and the dog, and simply to take care of his wife, Hisa, and recognized Rukia as his godsister.

Therefore, for Rukia's death, Byakuya Kuchiki was angry, but not as much as his wife Hisa who was almost hurt.

But how should he give Hisa an explanation now?

Tell her that your biological sister who you finally found was blown to death outside Rukongai because of my negligence?

A sense of powerlessness instantly hit Byakuya Kuchiki's heart.

Once upon a time, he firmly believed that the identity of the head of the five noble families was so noble in the Soul Society, but now he found that it seemed that when he faced many things, he was not much better than those civilians in Rukongai.

He even failed to protect his newly recognized sister.

"Fight back, Byakuya, we must fight back!"

Kuchiki Hibiki saw Byakuya Kuchiki's hesitation, just like when he looked at his father-in-law, Byakuya Kuchiki's grandfather Kuchiki Ginrin.

At that time, Kuchiki Hibiki was being madly excluded by other factions, especially the nobles of the Tsunayashiro family, in the special operations team of the First Division. He once expressed his frustration to Kuchiki Ginryū that he should either fight back or be allowed to return to the Sixth Division.

However, Kuchiki Ginzu hopes to use Kuchiki Hibiki's efforts in the first team to expand the Kuchiki family's influence and no longer limit the influence of the Kuchiki family to the sixth team. He also does not want Kuchiki Hibiki to expose his true strength. , which aroused the fear of other nobles, and always insisted on letting Kuchiki Xianghe tolerate it.

If Kuchiki Ginzu hadn't gone to Hueco Mundo to protect Kuchiki Hibiki and died in an accident, depending on Kuchiki Hibiki's temperament, it might have exploded decades ago.

But now, Kuchiki Xianghe really couldn't bear it anymore.

From Kuchiki Xianghe's point of view, the enemies are already sitting on their heads and shitting on them. If they continue to swallow their anger like this, do they still deserve to be called the five nobles?

You might as well go to Rukongai and go into self-exile!

But just as Kuchiki Byakuya was about to respond, he heard another magnetic voice ringing in the hall,

"My suggestion is, it's better not to act rashly until you figure out the truth of the matter."

Kuchiki Kyouga looked back and found that it was indeed the guy he hated a little bit, Kyōraku Shunsui, the captain of the eighth division.

“This is a family matter of our Kuchiki family, what qualifications do you, the captain of Division 8, have to comment here?

Or can you, Jingraku Chunshui, represent your Jingraku family? "

Normally, Kuchiki Kyoukawa would definitely not dare to talk like this to a veteran captain and Kyōraku Shunsui, who is also the captain's favorite disciple, but Kuchiki Kyoukawa, who is currently angry, would dare to go up to him even if the captain is here. Signs and gestures.

"Uncle Xianghe, I specially invited Chunshui."

Unfortunately, Kyōraku Shunsui didn't need to explain himself. Kuchiki Byakuya quickly gave Kyōraku Shunsui a suitable identity.

"So you are planning to let such an outsider decide our Kuchiki family's household affairs for us?

Is this how you become the head of the household? ! "

Kuchiki Xianghe, who was anxious, had already begun to attack wantonly, and he couldn't hold back the smell of gunpowder all over his body.

If you use some adjectives from Higashino Shuichi's previous life to describe the current Kuchiki Hibiki, then Kuchiki Hibiki must be a proper militant.

However, this cannot be blamed on Hibiki Kuchiki. Anyone who lives and works for hundreds of years in an environment where he is constantly squeezed out by all his colleagues, has a stronger talent but is never able to use it, and can only live in poverty, will become so extreme.

Kuchiki Kyoukawa has been able to endure it until now, and he is already as powerful as Kuchiki Gin Suzufa in this timeline with Higashino Shuichi's intervention.

If it were the original timeline, Kuchiki Kyoukawa would have broken out long before Urahara Kisuke and the others defected to the world due to the Hollow Incident.

"You can't say that. I just came here to provide some trivial suggestions. The specific decision depends on the wishes of the Kuchiki family."

Facing the Kuchiki Xianghe that was like a powder keg, Kyōraku Shunsui still looked carefree and said,

"But at least from my personal opinion, there shouldn't be that simple behind this matter, and I had already contacted Higashino Shuichi before coming here."

"What did he say?" When he heard the name Higashino Shuichi, Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly became energetic.

"According to Higashino Shuichi, Tsunayashiro Kamihara had not contacted him before what happened yesterday."

"So? What does this mean?

Higashino Shuichi is now revealed to be a traitor. Isn't it normal for Tsunayashiro Kamihara not to contact him? "

Kuchiki Xianghe said with a cold snort.

But his statement was immediately rejected by Kyoraku Shunsui and Kuchiki Byakuya, who shook their heads.

"You are wrong, Hibiki-kun. It is precisely because Higashino Shuichi is a traitor, and he was the traitor who Tsunayashiro Kamihara personally helped to escape, that Tsunayashiro Kamihara used Higashino Shuichi without any psychological burden.

If I were Tsunayashiro Kanbaru, if I wanted to complete a dangerous plan like yesterday, I would definitely use Higashino Shuichi, because no one can be more motivated, capable, and capable than Higashino Shuichi, who is already a traitor to Soul Society. I am more confident that this plan will be completed without any mistakes. "

"But Tsunayashiro Kamihara never contacted Higashino Shuichi from the beginning to the end. This is very revealing."

Kuchiki Byakuya also added that he approved Kyoraku Shunsui's idea.

"Ha, after all, you Kyoraku Shunsui only knew what serious consequences this would have if it was really done by the Tsunayashiro family, and Byakuya, you didn't risk Rukia's life at all. , and your wife Fei really has her safety at heart, right?

You have never even considered what kind of situation the other members of the Kuchiki family, except you, are facing in the Seireitei!

What you are talking about is only based on normal logic, but what if I told you that the nobles of the Tsunayashiro family are so arrogant that they no longer need to follow these basic logics! "

But it was obvious that Kuchiki Kyouga did not listen to what Kyōraku Shunsui and Kuchiki Byakuya said at all.

Because for Kuchiki Hikaru, Kuchiki Byakuya and Kyoraku Shunsui, one is the head of the Kuchiki family and the other is the captain of the eighth division. They simply cannot understand that low-level Shinigami like themselves face a person every day. What a harsh environment.

They deliberately avoided him when eating, didn't invite him to activities, and even didn't give him complete information when arranging shifts and going on missions. Many times, if Kuchiki Hibiki hadn't been so powerful that he pretended to be, he would have died gloriously in the mission like Kuchiki Ginrin.

Those noble Shinigami who were not from the Kuchiki family were so blatantly excluding him so that he couldn't exert the influence of the Kuchiki family in places like the First Squadron.

Kuchiki Hibiki had no part in any safe mission, and any dangerous and hated mission would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

This is why Kuchiki Hibiki hated Higashino Hideichi, the great sword hunter who infinitely favored the nobles of the Tsunayashiro family and greatly increased the voice of the nobles of the Tsunayashiro family.

He even went so far as to break the promise he made to Kuchiki Ginrin.

But unfortunately, no matter how deafening Kuchiki Hibiki's speech was, Kuchiki Byakuya and Kyoraku Shunsui could not empathize with Kuchiki Hibiki, even though they might know that what Kuchiki Hibiki said was reality.

Because standing in Kuchiki Byakuya's position, the problems and things he needed to think about were far more complicated than Kuchiki Hibiki.

The consideration of the overall situation has surpassed his personal feelings.

Just like in the original plot, the future Kuchiki Byakuya, no matter how unwilling he was in his heart, still chose to follow the order of the Central 46th Chamber and personally sent Rukia, who violated the rules, to the execution platform of the Double Execution Hill.

As for Kyoraku Shunsui, he was convinced that there must be other hidden secrets in this incident, and it was far from that serious, because of a reason that he could not tell Kuchiki Byakuya and Kuchiki Hibiki.

The reason is that, after questioning the two Shinigami Madarame Ichiku from the 11th Division, Yumichika Ayasegawa, and Tetsuzaemon, who followed his mother's footsteps and entered the shooting range of the 3rd Division, Kyoraku Shunsui had already made some personal guesses about the identity of the Shinigami who saved Rukia yesterday.

If there is anyone in the current Soul Society who is familiar with the former captain of the 2nd Division, Shihouin Family's head Shihouin Yoruichi, Kyoraku Shunsui believes that it is none other than himself and Ukitake Jushiro, two of Shihouin Yoruichi's former friends.

And whether it is Ukitake Jushiro or Kyoraku Shunsui himself, they all believe that the Shinigami who saved Rukia should be Shihouin Yoruichi who has been missing in the world for a long time. Only this identity can explain why there is no trace of Rukia and the Shinigami's death at the scene after the war.

Because for Shihouin Yoruichi, it is easy to take Rukia away at such a critical moment.

And if this speculation is true, then as long as Shihouin Yoruichi is found, or Shihouin Yoruichi takes the initiative to send Rukia back, yesterday's incident will not be so serious.

Although this statement is nonsense, in reality, as long as there are no casualties of important people, the whole thing can indeed be reduced to a small matter or a small matter through subsequent negotiations and consultations.

At least even for Kyoraku Shunsui, those ordinary Shinigami who were involved in the accident and died, their deaths are insignificant compared to the direct conflict between the Tsunayashiro family and the Kuchiki family.

It's just that the Shinigami is probably Shihouin Yoruichi, and Kyoraku Shunsui has no way to tell the second person except Ukitake Jushiro for the time being, even Kuchiki Byakuya is no exception.

Because Kuchiki Sojun died too quickly and Kuchiki Byakuya was too young, Kyoraku Shunsui has not yet fully understood Kuchiki Byakuya's personality and thoughts.

If Kuchiki Byakuya did not approve of what Urahara Kisuke did back then, and what Shihoin Yoruichi said, he would rashly reveal this judgment, which might cause unnecessary trouble to some of Shihoin Yoruichi's actions.

Yes, there was one thing that Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro both reached a consensus on after discussing, that is, Shihoin Yoruichi's sudden return this time must have something to do. Because of Higashino Hideichi, they believed that there must be something else behind the incident back then, so supporting Shihoin Yoruichi's actions naturally had a certain confidence and rationality.

Therefore, under such a background, Kuchiki Hibiki's wishes and demands could not be met.

Seeing that Kyoraku Shunsui and Kuchiki Byakuya quickly brought the topic to another way of finding out the truth of the matter, Kuchiki Hibiki left the Kuchiki family angrily with the feeling of "different paths, no plan" in his heart.

After Kuchiki Xianghe left, the air outside the Kuchiki house suddenly shook, and a figure walked out from it, and then followed Kuchiki Xianghe as if no one was around.
