Boom! Boom!
The distant explosions were incessant, and just by listening to the sounds, Aozaki Reiji could tell that the Squad members of the Eleventh Division were engaged in a fierce battle.
He walked closer and was surprised to find that most of the fallen Squad members had only lost their combat ability or fainted; not a single one had suffered a fatal injury, which showed he still had some influence.
For Shinigami, a few injuries were nothing; broken arms and legs could be healed, unless it was like Yamamoto in the original timeline, who sacrificed his body using a Hado.
In such a situation, Unohana would also be helpless.
These Squad members had only lost their combat ability; they just needed to be treated by the Fourth Division, which was much better than the tragic deaths of the Tsunayashiro Family members.
Aozaki Reiji drew Shinra Bansho from his waist, casually twirling a beautiful knife flower, and said, "You, the thief who invaded the Tsunayashiro Family, I'm grateful that you didn't kill my subordinates, so much so that I don't really want to kill you anymore. But since no one is stopping you, why don't you escape?"
The figure, completely enveloped in a dark robe, said indifferently, "I'm waiting for you. I want to see the so-called greatest genius in the history of Soul Society."
His appearance beneath the dark robe would definitely seem completely different in the eyes of the Gotei 13 Squad members.
Do you have to be jealous at a time like this? Aozaki Reiji felt a bit helpless.
This guy is too willful!
Aozaki Reiji didn't really want to kill this son-in-law of the Kuchiki who had some acquaintance with him, but since he insisted on seeking death, there was nothing he could do.
Aozaki Reiji never thought he would lose.
Kuchiki Kōga's Zanpakuto was indeed powerful, but if one understood its weakness and took precautions in advance, it was actually easier to deal with than Kenpachi Kiganjo!
He was very tight-lipped about Muramasa's abilities.
But as a transmigrator, Aozaki Reiji was aware of Muramasa's ability flaws.
This Zanpakuto's ability was useless against those who had closed their hearts!
And Aozaki Reiji, who knew the terror of this sword, had naturally learned how to close his heart long ago.
Without waiting for Kuchiki Kōga to release his Zanpakuto, Aozaki Reiji slightly pulled open his upper garment, slapped his chest, and a dark circular Kido array quickly formed. As his Reiatsu surged, a 'seal' character was outlined in the center of the array.
The man in black was a little puzzled: "This is...?"
"A Kido array for closing one's heart," Aozaki Reiji answered casually, not caring at all.
"What!?" The man in black was startled. This was clearly targeting Muramasa's ability. He asked in astonishment, "Did you figure out my identity?"
Aozaki Reiji nodded, openly admitting, "That's right."
Kuchiki Kōga asked, "Then how do you know my weakness?"
"I might understand you better than you understand yourself."
Aozaki Reiji put his hands behind his back and said mysteriously, giving off the air of an inscrutable master from beyond the world.
"So that's it..." Kuchiki Kōga smiled with relief.
This sentence not only didn't cause him psychological pressure, but looking at that gentle smile instead warmed his heart.
He didn't expect him to understand him so well. As expected of my close friend!
Looking at his expression, there was no fear on his face, clearly not afraid of me because of Muramasa's ability.
Unlike others, who would change their expression at the mere mention of Muramasa's ability.
Looking at Aozaki Reiji, who was standing still, he asked with a hint of curiosity, "Are you here to help the Tsunayashiro Family?"
"Central 46 issued an order for the Eleventh Division to support the Tsunayashiro Family."
Aozaki Reiji spread his hands.
"But you also know I have a grudge with the Tsunayashiro Family. I actually don't care who you killed; I might even applaud it."
"However, I just thought of a good idea, so... why don't we just stop fighting and sit down for a good chat?"
Kuchiki Kōga shook his head, "Aozaki Reiji, I actually don't want to treat you as an enemy, but the regret of losing to you makes me unable to let go."
Recalling their numerous sparring sessions during this period, although they hadn't used Bankai, he had never won a single time.
Kuchiki Ginrei would praise him every time, but for himself, he couldn't utter two words.
He knew he shouldn't blame Aozaki Reiji, but he just couldn't let it go.
"If I win, I'll go back to the cell, and I won't kill you, and you can't reveal what happened today."
"But if you win, my life is yours. I'll agree to anything you want me to do."
"This kid is really stubborn! Is getting that Old Man's approval really that important?" Aozaki Reiji thought to himself.
For Aozaki Reiji, who only cared about the psychological well-being of women, he truly couldn't understand Kuchiki Kōga's stubbornness at all.
What's so great about an Old Man?
Unless it's an Old Man like Yamamoto, who resorts to force at the slightest disagreement, he might actually care a bit!
Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Aozaki Reiji pouted: "Let's go somewhere else. There's no space to fight here!"
Kuchiki Kōga was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily: "Alright, follow me!"
He turned around, swaggering and completely exposing his back to Aozaki Reiji.
If it weren't Aozaki Reiji standing here, but Kamen Rider Ouja, Kuchiki Kōga would surely hear the electronic sound of "Final Vent."
Aozaki Reiji shook his head helplessly, sighing that he was still too kind, and then sped off, following Kuchiki Kōga.
Both Aozaki Reiji and Kuchiki Kōga, being Captain-class, were extremely fast, so it wasn't long before they were far away from the Tsunayashiro Family's territory and found a deep, old forest.
Aozaki Reiji asked impatiently, "Hey, you know my patience is limited. This should be good enough, right?"
"This will do."
Kuchiki Kōga stopped, not getting angry.
He knew perfectly well that this man would only transform into a gentle and perfect nobleman when dealing with girls.
Kuchiki Kōga, while brandishing the long sword in his hand, said with emotion, "You haven't seen my Bankai with your own eyes, have you? After using Bankai, I can increase my power tenfold on top of my Shikai!"
Muramasa was truly too good to him...
Kuchiki Kōga's utilization of his own power was clearly still insufficient. Yet, Bankai could provide a tenfold increase, which showed how obedient Muramasa was to him.
Seeing Kuchiki Kōga already deeply immersed in self-admiration, Aozaki Reiji couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.
However, he wasn't entirely unable to understand Kuchiki Kōga, after all, he was a Shinigami who could use Bankai.
Once Bankai was achieved, a Shinigami's name would forever be etched in the history of Soul Society, which showed the importance of Bankai to a Shinigami, and the huge improvement in a Shinigami's strength.
And Kuchiki Kōga, who had learned Bankai at such a young age, would naturally feel a surge of confidence.
Aozaki Reiji didn't waste any more words. While he was feeling confident, he used Shunpo to appear before him and swung his sword.
Clang!
The blade light arrived in an instant, and Kuchiki Kōga could only barely block it by raising his Zanpakuto.
Aozaki Reiji chuckled lightly, and with a slight increase in force, Kuchiki Kōga was instantly sent flying backward like a cannonball, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
