"Tenya, I..."
"Can you take us for a spin in the human world?" Miu proposed a bold idea.
"Wait, Miu..."
"We are souls, how can we leave Soul Society?" Sora retorted.
The atmosphere of Soul Society is rich in Reishi, which is a necessary environment for souls to survive. Reishi is sparse in the Living World, and souls there will dissipate into the world before long, not to mention Hollows, monsters that feed on souls.
"Don't worry. As long as you follow me, nothing is a problem." Tenya said lightly.
Maintaining the survival of souls can be done with Reiatsu, Chakra, or magic power, they are all energy states, not much different.
"Taking souls out of Soul Society without permission is a serious crime." Rukia reminded him.
"Hehe."
Tenya just smiled without speaking at this.
"Alright..." Rukia immediately understood.
The laws of Soul Society cannot control Tenya.
"Really, is it really possible?"
The three Takanashi sisters looked at him with immense anticipation.
"It's just a small matter." Tenya smiled and nodded.
"Then we have a deal."
"Pinky promise."
The three Takanashi sisters extended their little fingers and hooked them with Tenya's big finger.
After staying in Rukongai for one night, Rikka stayed behind to accompany her family.
The next day, Tenya and Rukia set off for the Seireitei.
The outer perimeter of the Seireitei is called Seireiheki, built from Sekkiseki which has the effect of isolating Reiryoku, forming a powerful barrier protecting the Seireitei from the sky to the ground.
"Oh? Has the barrier been improved?"
Tenya glanced with his Sharingan, and saw that the barrier in front of him had been greatly strengthened.
Especially the addition of a lock specifically targeting spatial abilities.
It's probably because during the last battle in the Seireitei, the Kamui he used left the entire Gotei 13 helpless, leading them to develop new technology targeting him.
"Last time you caused a ruckus in Seireitei, the Gotei 13 must have taken precautions. This should be the work of the Research and Development Department." Rukia analyzed seriously.
"It doesn't matter, mere technology cannot compare to my dojutsu."
Tenya smiled indifferently, activating the Rinnegan in his left eye. The eye with a ripple pattern released a power capable of overwhelming everything.
Yomotsu Hirasaka!
Just as expected, an inky black spatial portal appeared in the indestructible Seireiheki.
This is the ultimate spatial dojutsu, far surpassing Kamui With this ability, the Otsutsuki can appear anywhere in the world at will.
Zzzzzz!
Sensing an intrusion into Seireitei, the spatial lock of the barrier was triggered. Purple chains attempted to seal the spatial portal created by Yomotsu Hirasaka.
Tenya's Rinnegan casually glanced, and the overwhelming ocular power instantly tore the purple chains to shreds.
"Let's go, Rukia."
Easily breaking through Seireitei's barrier, Tenya led Kuchiki Rukia inside.
Twelfth Division, Research and Development Institute.
"Intruder detected!"
"Target Reiatsu... Unknown, Target Location... Unable to track."
Akon, who was in charge of monitoring the barrier, was instantly dumbfounded.
"Interesting..."
"To be able to break through the spatial locking device I personally developed in such a short time."
Mayuri's lips curled up, and he showed a strong look of interest.
Based on his personal intuition, he immediately thought of the teenager who had caused a ruckus in Seireitei last time.
"Nemu, immediately report the news of the intruder to the Captain-Commander."
"Yes, Mayuri-sama!"
The news of an intruder being discovered in Seireitei made the entire Gotei 13 tense.
"Aizen! Is it that guy, has he killed his way back again?"
Sajin clenched his fists, immediately thinking of this traitor of the Soul Society.
"I heard that guy has caused quite a stir in Hueco Mundo. He has even become the de facto ruler of Hueco Mundo." Shunsui frowned, his expression serious.
"Has the Second Division's Onmitsukidō not been able to gather intelligence from Hueco Mundo?" Toshiro asked.
"All the members who infiltrated Hueco Mundo have lost contact..."
Soi Fon gritted her teeth, looking unwilling.
"Aizen's strength is unfathomable!" Ukitake said in a deep voice.
"Ha!"
"It's good that the intruder is here, we'll just annihilate them directly." Zaraki grinned savagely.
His Zanpakuto was already thirsty for battle!
"....."
Unohana remained silent, somehow she seemed to have a premonition, that man had come.
"Captain Kuchiki, why didn't he come?"
Yamamoto's gaze swept across the people present.
Due to the defection of Aizen, Ichimaru, and Kaname, the Gotei 13 already had fewer captains, and now one was inexplicably absent, which made the Captain-Commander somewhat dissatisfied.
"Today is..."
"It is Captain Kuchiki's deceased wife's death anniversary, so he specifically requested leave." Shunsui patiently explained.
Everyone was enlightened upon hearing this.
Byakuya was cold and his conduct was very strict, he had always been a model captain in the Gotei 13. But only when it involved matters concerning his wife, he would act in a way that defied logic.
"Hmph!"
"Ignoring the important matters of the Seireitei for personal feelings, this old man will not let it go easily."
Yamamoto's eyes narrowed, emitting a chilling glint that made others tremble.
"Regarding Captain Kuchiki's punishment, let's discuss it after this matter is over. Currently, our top priority is to find the intruder."
Ukitake was a man who valued emotions. He could understand Byakuya's feelings of missing his deceased wife.
He immediately changed the subject, "I actually think the intruder might not be Aizen."
"Because with the ability of his Zanpakuto, Kyōka Suigetsu, he could deceive all of us and infiltrate Soul Society silently." Toshiro analyzed seriously.
"Captain Hitsugaya's words are reasonable, but if it's not Aizen, then who is it?" Sajin scratched his dog head, completely baffled.
"No matter who it is, anyone who dares to intrude upon the Seireitei is our enemy."
"Issue the order!"
"Mobilize all Shinigami of the Gotei 13, search every inch of the ground and drag that intruder out."
The Captain-Commander's fury has severe consequences.
The entire Seireitei entered a state of lockdown, with tens of thousands of Shinigamis extensively searching, not missing any suspicious place.
"This is the Kuchiki clan, there are no intruders you are looking for here."
An old butler blocked the Shinigami team that came to search.
The Kuchiki clan is one of the four great noble houses of Soul Society, with a transcendent status. Even the Gotei 13 must not offend them without cause.
"But, the Captain-Commander's order..."
Shūhei and Izuru exchanged glances, their faces showing troubled expressions.
"Shūhei? Izuru?"
"Are you idiots?"
"With Captain Kuchiki here, do you still need to worry about intruders?"
Renji, passing by, sternly reprimanded them.
"That's right."
"I heard Captain Kuchiki is home today, so it's fine." Shūhei and Izuru finally relaxed.
With Byakuya present, it was naturally not their turn to worry about intruders. Even if by some chance, an intruder that Byakuya couldn't handle appeared, their presence would only be sending themselves to their deaths.
"Excuse us."
"Please tell Captain Kuchiki that I will be responsible for handling the Sixth Division's mission."
As the Vice-Captain of the Sixth Division, Renji was naturally fully responsible in the Captain's absence.
"Hmph!"
The old butler had the arrogance of a noble and greatly looked down on Renji, who was from Rukongai.
This old bastard!
Renji's lips twitched. If he weren't considering his superior's reputation, he would have already beaten the other party up.
"Let's go look elsewhere."
The Shingamis, blocked at the gate, dared not provoke the Kuchiki clan and left dejectedly.
