The Gotei 13 has finally made a move against Kisuke Urahara!
This was also one of the reasons Yoshio and Aizen deployed the imaginary bodies: to stir up trouble in Seireitei and force the hesitant Central 46 to take action.
And now, they were indeed taking action.
"Captain Kurotsuchi is currently confirming Kisuke Urahara's whereabouts, but he's likely hiding in Hueco Mundo, which is very troublesome for us." Aizen continued.
"For us Shinigami, Hueco Mundo is still a mysterious realm we haven't widely explored or understood."
"That world is too dangerous. If Kisuke Urahara is hiding there, it will indeed be troublesome."
"But... there's no choice," 'Kyōraku Shunsui' interjected, "We must take the initiative."
"The Captain-Commander has given us three days to prepare. After three days, more than half of the Captains will head to Hueco Mundo to establish an exploration base and prepare for the Research and Development Institute's subsequent investigations." Retsu Unohana added, "At that time, even you Lieutenants will probably have to go to Hueco Mundo."
"The remaining Captains will go to the Human World to search for traces of Kisuke Urahara."
"So..." Yoshio couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't Seireitei's internal defenses be completely empty?"
"With Captain Yamamoto..." 'Kyōraku Shunsui' said softly, "That's enough."
"Moreover, Captain Suì-Fēng will stay in Seireitei. She's the commander-in-chief of the Onmitsukidō, and Central 46 has other orders for her."
Everyone nodded; it seemed the upcoming operation plan was set.
The three Captains and their Lieutenants then parted ways, heading to their respective squads.
On the way, Yoshio asked again: "Captain Aizen, is our Fifth Division going to the Human World or Hueco Mundo this time?"
"Hmm..." Aizen walked ahead, pushed up his glasses, and said faintly, "The teams going to Hueco Mundo are Fourth and Eight Division."
"So we will go to the Human World along with the Third Division, Sixth Division, and Seventh Division."
"Four teams will search across Japan, responsible for Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu, Hokkaido, and some surrounding areas. The area we're responsible for is Shikoku."
Shikoku, huh? Seems like there won't be much to do.
Anyway, "Kisuke Urahara" is in Tokyo, which is on Honshu, far from Shikoku. He could totally treat this as a "Human World" vacation trip.
Of course, calling it a holiday was just for fun. This matter was planned by him and Aizen. Aizen could remain steady as a mountain, but he couldn't.
He had to take this opportunity to clash with the Tsunayashiro Clan.
So, with three days of preparation time, Yoshio planned to make arrangements in advance during these three days.
After returning to the Fifth Division, Yoshio explained the purpose of the meeting to the squad members and informed them they were heading to the Human World for investigation.
Then he found an excuse to leave.
He went to the Sixth District, and in a hidden corner where no one was watching, he activated his Souls Ability, "Appearance Mimicry"!
This time, he didn't transform into a strong person but into an old man who looked about fifty or sixty years old.
He had white hair, an aged face, but luxurious clothing, exuding an aura of dignity and nobility.
Since he was targeting the Tsunayashiro Clan, he naturally had to prepare well.
This person was an important figure at the Tsunayashiro Clan headquarters, and he planned to use this identity to first scout the internal situation of the Tsunayashiro Clan.
Stepping out of the alley, Yoshio recalled the Tsunayashiro Clan's style and adopted a somewhat arrogant posture, walking along the street toward the Tsunayashiro Clan residence.
The Tsunayashiro Clan estate was vast, even larger and more luxurious than the Kuchiki Family's. Although they were the leaders of the Five Great Noble Families, this was still the Sixth District, the Sixth Division's territory. His actions were almost ignoring the Kuchiki Family.
There weren't many people inside, mostly guards and servants, but they were all trash.
Yoshio felt he could slaughter the entire Tsunayashiro Clan by himself. These old wastes relied on their noble status to bully others, but on the battlefield, they were dead pigs.
Sigh, most nobles in Seireitei seemed like this, hard to distinguish from pigs.
But the weaker they were, the better. The weaker, the easier his later actions would be.
"Lord Muneyoshi."
Just as he was about to search for the location of the Soul King fragments, a man with deep green hair stood in front of him.
Yoshio glanced and discovered this guy actually had a Souls Ability.
"Root of All Evil: After use, certain evil actions and sins will be linked to you."
"..." Seeing this ability, Yoshio's reaction was just those three dots.
Uh, a bit interesting.
Yoshio knew his identity.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada is a character from the later Bleach novels, a mentally deranged, psychologically troubled psychopath.
He was the Shinigami who killed Tōsen Kaname's best friend, though later he was no longer a Shinigami.
He also slaughtered Ginjō Kūgo's teammates, making Ginjō Kūgo believe it was planned by Jūshirō Ukitake.
He also proposed to Central 46 to execute the daughter of the criminal who secretly held the "Shinken Hakkyōken," Ise Nanao, though this proposal was rejected by Kuchiki Ginrei.
In short, this guy did a lot of bad things, or rather, his existence voluntarily took on some of the sins in the original story that made the Shinigami side less righteous.
After all, how could Gotei 13 kill Ginjō Kūgo's companions! It must have been arranged by the Tsunayashiro Clan!
This is a bit similar to Danzō in Naruto; as more dark secrets surfaced, soon one person emerged to bear all the darkness.
Great, no need to say more.
Perhaps that's why he gained this Souls Ability.
Yoshio had no interest in the Souls Ability at all. Are you kidding? Is he crazy, voluntarily taking on sins?
Well, unless he later gained an ability that allowed him to use sins for combat, then maybe it would be worth considering.
