Chapter 47: Inform Byakuya Kuchiki of the Aizen Sōsuke conspiracy! (2/4 for flowers!)
When Asaba was kicked out of Seireitei, Reiatsu had less than 5 seats.
It had only been about twenty days, and Asaba’s Reiatsu had already reached the level of a vice-captain.
Asaba’s Reiatsu at this time was even above Abarai Renji, who had just been promoted from the 11th Division to the 6th Division Vice-Captain.
Abarai Renji’s Reiatsu is not weak, although it was only the sixth seat of the eleventh team.
Abarai Renji’s Reiatsu is a solid vice-captain level, even above the average vice-captain.
Surprised, Byakuya Kuchiki looked at the Zanpakutō that Asaba was wearing around his waist.
“Isn’t your Zanpakutō taken away by Shinigami of the first team?”
Asaba replied, “My Zanpakutō was given to me when I left Seireitei.
Although Byakuya Kuchiki wondered why Yamamoto Genyazai Shigekuni did this, he did not doubt Asaba’s words.
Without Yamamoto’s advice, even Kyoraku Shunsui and Unohana Retsu, two very senior Shinigami captains with Seireitei qualifications.
There is also no right to return the Zanpakutō sentenced to Asaba by Central 46.
Byakuya Kuchiki asked again:
“Asaba, you came here to let me discover you on purpose, what’s your purpose!?”
Asaba smiled and said, “Why am I here to look for Captain Kuchiki? Of course it’s important to talk to Captain Kuchiki.”
“Important matter!?”
Asaba nodded, then said, “Captain Kuchiki, you may not believe what I’m going to say next.”
Byakuya Kuchiki didn’t answer, but stared straight into Asaba’s eyes.
Asaba continued: “Aizen Sōsuke has been working on a plan, and the purpose of this plan is to get Hōgyoku.”
“Hōgyoku!?” asked Byakuya Kuchiki, who had never heard the word and didn’t know what Hōgyoku was.
“It’s a long story about what Hōgyoku is. I won’t explain it here to Captain Kuchiki right now, but Captain Kuchiki and the entire Shinigami of Gotei 13th will soon know what Hōgyoku is.”
Hōgyoku is cumbersome to explain, and it involves a lot of Soul Society past events.
Like Visored.
Such as Ichimaru Gin and Matsumoto Rangiku.
Such as Urahara Kisuke and Shihouin Yoruichi.
Such as Kurosaki Isshin and Kurosaki Masaki.
If Asaba explained each one clearly, I am afraid that it would arouse Byakuya Kuchiki’s suspicion even more.
Therefore, Asaba did not intend to explain in detail to Byakuya Kuchiki at this time.
“Asaba, do you think that if you just make up an unwarranted Hōgyoku, I will believe you?”
Asaba had long guessed that Captain Kuchiki would not trust him so easily.
Asaba isn’t worried about that.
Because Asaba knows Byakuya Kuchiki’s weakness, that is Rukia Kuchiki.
“Although I can’t explain what Hōgyoku is to Captain Kuchiki right now, I can tell Captain Kuchiki what Aizen Sōsuke’s plan is next.”
“Asaba, I know the grievance between you and the fifth division, do you think I will believe you?”
“Captain Kuchiki, listen to me.”
Byakuya Kuchiki stopped talking and did not leave, Asaba knew that Byakuya Kuchiki was signaling him to continue.
So, Asaba continued.
“Rukia Kuchiki is the core pawn in Aizen Sōsuke’s next plan!”
really!
Byakuya Kuchiki’s eyes turned cold as he looked at Asaba, and his hand was already on Zanpakutō.
Asaba dared to make a fuss about Rukia Kuchiki, if Asaba could not give him a reasonable explanation, he would not hesitate to attack Asaba and kill Asaba here.
Rukia Kuchiki is indeed Byakuya Kuchiki’s weakness.
He would never allow others to take Rukia Kuchiki and make a fuss in front of him.
Although Byakuya Kuchiki’s Reiatsu was sealed by nearly four-fifths, he still had the confidence to kill Asaba.
“The boy who received the power of Rukia Kuchiki Shinigami was named Kurosaki Ichigo. The meeting between Rukia Kuchiki and Kurosaki Ichigo was not accidental, but arranged by Aizen Sōsuke.”
“I know Captain Kuchiki doesn’t believe it. After you meet Kurosaki Ichigo, you can ask him his name to see if his name is Kurosaki Ichigo.”
Byakuya Kuchiki said: “Asaba, you arrived at Karakura Town before me, and waited for me here in advance. It is not difficult for you to find out the name of the boy who took Rukia Shinigami’s power.”
Asaba disapproved of Byakuya Kuchiki’s questioning and explained:
“Aizen Sōsuke arranged for Kurosaki Ichigo and Rukia Kuchiki to meet because Kurosaki Ichigo’s identity is not simple.”
“Leader Kuchiki might as well go to Kurosaki Hospital before taking Kurosaki Ichigo and bring Rukia Kuchiki back to the Soul Society. I think Captain Kuchiki will make an unexpected discovery.”
“After Rukia Kuchiki gave the power of Shinigami to Kurosaki Ichigo, the reason why Reiatsu has not been able to restore it is because of her current righteous skeleton.”
“Her skeleton now is very special and can prevent her from recovering Reiatsu, because that skeleton hides the Hōgyoku that Aizen Sōsuke wants to get.”
“After Captain Kuchiki brings Rukia Kuchiki back to the Soul Society, Central 46’s sentence to Rukia Kuchiki must be the punishment of Sōkyoku.”
“Moreover, the time of execution will continue to be advanced.”
“Aizen Sōsuke will be assassinated on the eve of Rukia Kuchiki’s final execution.”
Asaba paused and continued: “Of course, Aizen Sōsuke is suspended animation.”
Byakuya Kuchiki felt that Asaba’s words were all nonsense, but Asaba spoke righteously and swears, and he couldn’t see the appearance of lying.
“Captain Kuchiki, I know you think what I’m saying is ridiculous, and it’s normal for you not to believe me.”
“I’m telling you this because Rukia Kuchiki once saved me.”
“This is my reward to Rukia Kuchiki!”
“Captain Kuchiki, you don’t have to believe my words, but please take my words to your heart.”
“After you bring Rukia Kuchiki back to the Soul Society, you must not let Aizen Sōsuke approach Rukia Kuchiki alone.”
“As for the truth or falsehood of what I said before, Captain Kuchiki can wait for the development of the situation and see if the things I said happened, so that we can know the truth of what I said.”*
