So, Yoshio even directly ignored him. With his current identity, a mere branch family low-ranker wasn't worth his attention.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada saw Yoshio's high-and-mighty attitude, and his face immediately darkened, but he suppressed his anger and said calmly: "Tsunayashiro Muneyoshi, the matter you instructed before has been completed. It's in the third treasury."
Yoshio glanced at him, just nodded, but didn't speak.
As for where the third treasury was, he truly didn't know.
So, just as Tsunayashiro Tokinada was about to leave, Yoshio spoke again: "Let's go take a look together. If it's handled well, I can consider giving you a different position."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada had made mistakes in the past.
Previously, there was a commoner Shinigami with Soul King fragments in her body, and the Tsunayashiro Clan wanted to observe the movements of these Soul King fragments, so they arranged for Tsunayashiro Tokinada to marry her.
However, shortly after the marriage, Tsunayashiro Tokinada couldn't stand his wife and directly killed her.
Although killing people wasn't a big deal for the Five Great Noble Families, and he even shifted the blame to other Shinigami, the Tsunayashiro Clan still punished him.
They made him, as a member of the "Tsunayashiro Clan," lead the "Image Hall." The "Image Hall" is an organization under the "Tsunayashiro Clan" that monitors "Seireitei" and records history. However, the "Tsunayashiro Clan" is only responsible for recording; surveillance is the work of subordinates.
Making Tsunayashiro Tokinada record videos was naturally a demotion.
But Tsunayashiro Tokinada was actually quite satisfied with this, because he thought the Image Hall was a quiet place where he could see many interesting things, much better than constantly dealing with the rigid elders at home.
Yoshio saying this would naturally be an "honor" to other Tsunayashiro clansmen, but to Tsunayashiro Tokinada, it was disgusting. However, he couldn't show that disgust.
Because it was indeed a kind of 'honor.'
Yoshio said it deliberately to annoy him.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada, who was about to leave, couldn't help but stop, then led Yoshio to the so-called third treasury.
The third treasury was located deep within the Tsunayashiro Clan. Although it was just a warehouse, the decorations inside were quite luxurious—truly befitting a noble house.
Yoshio stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the third treasury, nodded, and said: "Hmm, well done."
He stepped forward, and the guards protecting the vault immediately bowed in salute.
"Open the door."
Yoshio said slowly.
"Yes." The guards quickly responded and opened the door. Yoshio walked in and found it filled with gold, silver, jewels, and some strange things he couldn't understand.
However, these weren't what he wanted; he was looking for the Soul King fragments collected by the Tsunayashiro Clan over a million years.
He hadn't seen Soul King fragments, but he himself had split 'The Animals' twice.
The Animals and Soul King fragments had similar properties; although they didn't have such strong spiritual power, the fluctuations they emitted were very similar in nature.
Yoshio indeed sensed the presence of Soul King fragments. Those fragments seemed to be placed in a luxurious box.
Yoshio glanced at the box, didn't touch it, just nodded.
Then he turned and left.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada watched the silent departing old man, his gaze growing colder.
But Yoshio didn't care at all; by now, he had left the Tsunayashiro Clan.
As for the real Tsunayashiro Muneyoshi, he just planned to have the imaginary body eliminate him later.
After leaving the Tsunayashiro Clan, Yoshio found a place to change back to his original appearance, then directly appeared beside Aizen.
He activated his 'Captain's Assistant' ability, which allowed him to appear directly next to the Captain.
His body, like Dark Rukia's, suddenly disintegrated during instant movement and then reassembled beside Aizen.
Aizen was currently working in his squad office. When he noticed Yoshio's appearance, he was somewhat surprised.
However, he only paused for a moment before saying: "After this incident, are you interested in becoming a Captain?"
?
Yoshio was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, Captain Aizen, don't make things hard for me. I don't want to be a Captain."
Did Aizen mean that there might be Captain casualties in this incident?
However, Yoshio didn't think so. Although this matter was planned by him and Aizen to persecute Kisuke Urahara.
But Kisuke Urahara wasn't an idiot; he couldn't be unprepared.
Although Kisuke Urahara was in the Human World, Yoshio didn't believe he was truly unaware of Soul Society's situation.
After all, Yoruichi Shihōin was the former commander-in-chief of the Onmitsukidō. What is the Onmitsukidō? For example, it's like the CIA in America, and Yoruichi was the CIA director!
How many secrets does a former CIA director hold? How many secret intelligence channels does she have?
Therefore, changes in Soul Society's internal situation shouldn't escape Kisuke Urahara's notice.
Most importantly, this wasn't something that could happen in a short time. Soul Society had been discussing how to deal with Kisuke Urahara for three years. In three years, even a pig should have reacted.
Let alone Kisuke Urahara.
Even if the appearance of imaginary bodies was unexpected, he should have already prepared how to deal with the Gotei 13.
Kisuke Urahara couldn't let the rift between himself and Seireitei grow larger, so he would never harm any Captain, let alone cause any Captain losses. Otherwise, clearing his name later would be difficult.
This was a long-distance battle of wits between Kisuke Urahara and Aizen. Honestly, it was best for him not to interfere—just slack off and use their battle of wits to achieve his own goals.
"By the way, what instructions does the Onmitsukidō have?" Since he was targeting the Tsunayashiro Clan, Yoshio naturally paid more attention to the two squads remaining in Seireitei.
The First Division's Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was naturally Seireitei's final barrier. And what was Second Division's Suì-Fēng's task?
"Excellent..."
Aizen gently sipped the black tea on the table and said softly: "As a squad directly under Central 46, the Onmitsukidō's orders are naturally to protect those nobles."
"What a waste." Yoshio couldn't help but scoff, "A squad like the Onmitsukidō, best suited for finding people, is now being used to protect those noble lords."
"Heh..." Aizen chuckled lightly without speaking.
However, this was a good thing.
The stupider those nobles were, the easier it would be for him to act...
