Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 143, Section 141: Let's call them the Sword Hunters.

Sitting atop a house in the real world, as if playing with a new toy, Higashino Shuichi manipulated Kabuto Takuya to try and practice Quincy abilities. He never expected that the first person to approach him would be that man.

"You said your master, Tsunayoshi Tokinada, wants to see me?"

Looking at the Grim Reaper before him, who was dressed in a Shinigami uniform but had covered his face with a black mask, Higashino Shuichi understood his purpose after listening to his explanation.

"Yes, Master cordially invites you to come to Soul Society to meet him."

The Grim Reaper bowed his head respectfully and said.

Gangya Shitoda
For Shuichi Higashino, this was a fairly familiar name, after all, he was the third legitimate big boss after Yhwach caused trouble. However, after thinking about it carefully, Higashino realized that he didn't seem to have any connection with this Tsunayoshi Tokinada.

The closest he ever came to Tokinada after arriving in the world of Bleach was probably when he was recruiting Tosen Kaname for Aizen. After Tokinada left, he rescued Tosen Kaname from several Shinigami.

It's not the time for Tsunayoshi to cause trouble yet, so why is he suddenly contacting me?
Moreover, judging from the speed at which the other party came knocking on his door less than two days after he returned from the fictional future, it is clear that Tsunayoshi Tokinada's actions this time were definitely not unintentional, but rather premeditated, or even well-planned.

Otherwise, based on the information that Higashino Shuichi currently knows, the time flow he was trapped in in the fictional future this time is very different from reality. He disappeared for a full ten years. With such a long time span, anyone who doesn't have some confidence wouldn't keep paying attention to this place.

"Meeting me is no problem, but your master surely knows my current identity, right? A traitor to Soul Society, and more likely, after the last great war, he'll be accused of deliberately destroying the human world. In that case, if I run back to Soul Society, wouldn't I be walking into a trap?"

After giving Kabuto Takuya a mental instruction to stay away from Osaka Prefecture, Higashino Shuichi looked at the Grim Reaper in front of him and said.

"Please rest assured, Lord Higashino. This amnesty was proposed by Lord Tokinada, presided over by the Tsunayo family, and signed by the Central 46. From today onwards, your name will be erased from the list of traitors in Soul Society, and even the Gotei 13 will be unable to do anything to you."

Higashino Shuichi was initially on guard against whether Tsunayoshi Tokinada might have any underhanded tricks, but the words of the Grim Reaper on the other side made Higashino Shuichi unable to hold back.

A pardon?
Does this thing still exist in the world of Bleach?

And it was specifically targeted at him?
Higashino Shuichi took the gilded pardon from the Grim Reaper. The special mark from the Central 46 was unmistakable, and the pardon was very new, as if it had just been made in the last two days.

Higashino Hideichi opened it again and saw that it only contained his name. In other words, it was a pardon order hastily prepared specifically for him.

Is this a contradiction?

Higashino Shuichi frowned.

On the one hand, Tsunayoshi Tokinada should have been keeping an eye on this place for ten years, otherwise he wouldn't have known about Higashino Shuichi's whereabouts so quickly after Higashino Shuichi reappeared.

It's important to know that Higashino Shuichi only revealed himself during the brief moment of disorientation after returning from that fictional future; the rest of the time, he concealed himself using his extraordinary control over spirit particles.

However, on the other hand, this pardon order clearly showed signs of being rushed.

This shows what?
"This shows that his purpose in watching this place wasn't me at all."

Thinking of this, Higashino Shuichi suddenly gave a self-deprecating smile.

He seems to take himself a little too seriously.

Perhaps the people in the Tsunayo family never imagined that he would be the one to come back alive.

In that case, it becomes clear why the Tsunayo family is keeping an eye on this place.

Even if Qiu Shi constructs a false future, he can only construct such a false future if he has personally witnessed the real future.

The Tsuna family, not content with possessing powerful weapons like the Great Spiritual Book Corridor and the Reflection Hall, which record everything in the past and present, also wanted to learn about the future from Akimi.

To their surprise, Aki didn't return in the end; instead, Higashino Shuichi returned alive.

To this end, they did not hesitate to persuade other nobles and the Central 46 overnight, under immense pressure, to withdraw the charges against Higashino Shuichi, a Shinigami who could be said to be on the Soul Society's Red Notice.

"Do you want to gain my favor and then extract some information about the future from me?"

Higashino Shuichi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

What kind of situation is this? Suddenly, his identity as a transmigrator was confirmed in such a magical way?

Now, no matter how outrageous his actions are, he can shut everyone up with the excuse that he saw it coming from the future.
Moreover, looking at the Grim Reaper before him, Higashino Shuichi really wanted to say something to the Tsuna Yayoi family.
"Do you Tsunayoshiro family really have no guard against your own family members at all?"

If Higashino Shuichi hadn't figured out the whole story through these clues, and hadn't known what kind of person Tsunayoshi Tokinada was, he might have been fooled by Tsunayoshi Tokinada's trickery and then be grateful to him.

The rest of the Tsunayo family probably have no idea they've been tricked, and are even helping each other count the money.

After all, Tsunayoshi Tokinada is now just an ordinary branch family of the Tsunayoshi family, which is not even worth the attention of the higher-ups. If Tsunayoshi Tokinada has the ability to influence the decisions of the Tsunayoshi family, which is currently at its peak, then the sun could rise in the west.

However, despite this, Higashino Shuichi still had to show the respect due to Tsunayoshi Tokinada. He was also curious to know why this future big boss was going to such lengths to win his favor.
They can't possibly be like the Tsunayo family, wanting to know about that vague and uncertain future, can they?
Higashino Shuichi was quite certain that Tsunayoshi Tokina was not that kind of person.

"Notify the Soul Society and tell them to open the portal!"

"I stood up from the rooftop and said."

At this moment, he was all alone, without any burdens, and could leave whenever he wanted.

Ten years have passed, and it's practically impossible for him to find Kabuto Masayako and the others in a short time. However, if he can return to the Soul Society's order of events, then with the power of the Soul Society and Aizen's methods, finding Kabuto Masayako and the others shouldn't be too difficult.

Moreover, in the real world, his actions might not be more convenient than those of the Quincy human he created, Kabuto Takuya.

Soon, following the notification from the Tsunayo family's Shinigami, the Shinigami of the 13th Division nearby arrived and opened the portal for Higashino Shuichi.

It has to be said that time is truly the best file to smooth out all traces; none of these Shinigami members of the 13th Division recognized Higashino Shuichi's identity.

With one step through the gate, Higashino Shuichi appeared directly in Rukongai and quickly entered Seireitei under the guidance of the Tsuna Yayo family Shinigami.

It's clear that the Tsuna-Yayo family is very efficient. In less than two days, they not only processed the pardon for Higashino Shuichi, but also took care of the particularly easily overlooked aspect of the Seireitei barrier detection.

As Higashino Shuichi had predicted, the first person he met after arriving at the Tsunayoshiro family's residence was not the head of the Tsunayoshiro family, but Tsunayoshiro Tokinada.

It is clear that the Shinigami sent by the Tsunayoshiro family to inform him was a staunch supporter of Tsunayoshiro Tokinada.

And such Grim Reapers must make up a very high proportion of the Grim Reapers kept by the Tsunayo family.

Otherwise, the horrific massacre of the Tsunayo family would not have occurred—almost all members of the Tsunayo family, except for Tsunayo Tokina, were slaughtered overnight by assassins arranged by Tsunayo Tokina.

Its brutality is comparable to that of a certain red-eyed family.

"Nice to meet you, Higashino Shuichi. You probably already know my identity: Tsunayoshiro Tokinada, a branch family member of the Tsunayoshiro family, an insignificant nobody."

Upon entering the room where Tsunayoshi Tokina was "confined," Higashino Hideaki never expected that the first thing Tsunayoshi Tokina would say to him would be this.

Has he fallen behind the times? Why are people who work behind the scenes starting to be so direct these days?
"So everything that Grim Reaper said before was a lie?"

After a brief silence, Higashino Shuichi spoke.

"Whether you think it's fake or real, it's fake. It doesn't matter to me. I only care about one thing: whether it can help me get you to come to me on your own initiative. Once you come, then the mission of that sentence for me is complete."

Tsunayoshi Tokinada looked at Higashino Shuichi with a half-smile and said.

Okay, Higashino Shuichi has to admit, this is very much like Tsunayoshi Tokinada's, "So you want to see me? Why?"

Tsunayoshi Tokina stood up, pushed open a partition door in the room, and Higashino Shuichi could see a machine that looked like a movie projector inside. Then Tsunayoshi Tokina took out a roll of tape and put it in.

Soon, an image resembling a movie scene appeared on the wall opposite the machine.

Why?
There are many reasons. First, I discovered that when the Kasumigaoji family's affair was first exposed, you, who should have gone to the Zaraki Ward in North Rukongai, did not go there, but instead went to the 62nd Ward in East Rukongai.
What's even more interesting is that there are four main characters in this story set in District 62: Gin Ichimaru, the current captain of the 3rd Division of Soul Society; Sosuke Aizen, the captain of the 5th Division; Rangiku Matsumoto, a traitor to Soul Society; and Shuichi Higashino.
Secondly, this is what I've gleaned from observing your life over the past few hundred years, including secretly using the Spirit People to collect the Baku Blade, secretly killing some Shinigami, and meticulously planning an assassination attempt against a nobleman when you were still an ordinary Shinigami.

Watching Tsunayoshi Tokina gaze at the image with a touch of rapture, recounting his past deeds with great familiarity, Higashino Shuichi felt a sense of relief, as if he had finally been discovered, for some reason.

"Aren't you bored watching snippets of my life over the past few hundred years?"

Higashino Shuichi's gaze did not follow Tsunayoshi Tokina as he looked at his past. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, as if resting, and his tone showed no tension.

"Hahahaha!" Higashino Shuichi's performance earned him high praise from Tsunayoshi Tokinada. "As expected of you, Higashino Shuichi. How can you remain so calm in this situation?"

"What you've shown might have posed some threat before I defected from Soul Society, but it's nothing to me now. The worst outcome is simply escaping back to the human world."

Besides, you just said yourself that you're just a lowly, insignificant descendant of the Tsunayoshiro family, aren't you?"

Higashino Shuichi answered calmly.

"You're right. These things pose a limited threat to you right now, but they're enough for me."
"Hideichi Higashino, I know you're also dissatisfied with the existing order of this world. You also loathe this corrupt and sinful world. The injustices inflicted upon you by the nobles, the injustices that Death itself cannot trust you with, the injustices that you were forced to submit to through groveling—come with me, let's crush them all and rebuild them!"

Looking at Tsunayoshi Tokina's excited appearance, Higashino Shuichi felt that Tsunayoshi Tokina seemed to have misunderstood something. When had he ever been so cynical?
Although what Tsunayoshiro Tokinada just said were things that Higashino Shuichi had actually done, Higashino Shuichi was driven by real interests behind each of these things, and it was not at all like what he said, driven purely by emotions.

"what do you want to do?"

However, Higashino Shuichi felt that being misunderstood in this way was not necessarily a bad thing.

On the other side, upon hearing Higashino Shuichi's question, Tsunayoshi Tokinada knew that Higashino Shuichi was interested.

That's how it should be, that's how it should be!
It would be a waste for a Shinigami like Shuichi Higashino to follow a Shinigami like Sosuke Aizen, who is mediocre and only knows how to steal petty things!
This is the conclusion that Tsunayoshi Tokinada reached after reviewing Higashino Shuichi's past.

A Grim Reaper like Shuichi Higashino deserves a bigger stage, and while Aizen Sousuke can't provide that stage, Tsunayoshiro Tokinada can!
"This world is full of falsehoods, and the Soul Society is even more so. What we must do is to reveal all the truths and let everything in this world return to its original state!"
Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Human World will all be reunited as one, and we will establish a completely new order!

In that new world, there will be no evil, and everything will be just!

Tsunayoshi Tokinada passionately shared his ideals with Higashino Shuichi.

After watching the entire story of Shuichi Higashino's past, he had no doubt that Higashino was the one who could understand him.

Because this Grim Reaper is cruel enough, ruthless enough, patient enough, and insane enough!

She's exactly like him!
As expected, after he finished speaking, Higashino Shuichi did not raise any objections. Instead, he seemed to seriously consider Tsunayoshi Tokinada's grand ideal for a while before posing another question to him.
How exactly do you plan to achieve this goal?

Tsunayoshi Tokina laughed like a child. To him, Higashino Shuichi's question was undoubtedly a way of saying, "I agree with your ideas."

We really are like-minded people!

"There are two obstacles in front of us. One is the Soul King, who is far away in the Soul King Palace and is protected by the Zero Division. The will of the entire world has been affected by him. The other is the Gotei 13 of Soul Society!"

The Soul King's problem can be dealt with later, because right now, there's the perfect opportunity to deal with the Gotei 13!

Tsunayoshi Tokinada felt a deep sense of regret for not having met Higashino Shuichi sooner.

"What time?"

Higashino Shuichi was unaware of the many thoughts running through Tsunayoshi Tokinada's mind. He had absolutely no interest in Tsunayoshi Tokinada's so-called ideals, and if necessary, he wouldn't mind stabbing Tsunayoshi Tokinada in the back before he caused any trouble.

"More than a decade ago, inspired by the Kasumi family incident, our Tsunayo family also secretly launched a training program for Fullbringers. If successful, we will, like the Kasumi family, introduce Fullbringers as our private armed forces directly under our nobility. Of course, if it fails, these Fullbringers will be disposed of without leaving any evidence."

Originally, because we had already cooperated with the West Bureau, the entire project proceeded very smoothly after the Fullbringers were added to the plan, and it quickly progressed to the final testing phase.

The initial plan was that if we could defeat more than three captains, we would confront Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and bring Fullbringers into our armed ranks.

"But you didn't expect that I would almost single-handedly ruin this plan?"

"I'm a little embarrassed," said Higashino Shuichi.

He did guess that Osaka Prefecture was a trap, but he didn't expect that it was the core part of Tsunayoshi's plan.

Tsuna nodded and continued to explain to Higashino Shuichi: "Yes, and most importantly, since the Reality Fullbringers suffered heavy losses that time, their connection with us has gradually weakened, and they have all retreated to the controlled territory of the Western Frontier Bureau, probably fearing our retaliation."

Our plan has, once again, failed.

Hearing this, Higashino Shuichi sensed something was amiss. "So, when is the right time to deal with the Gotei 13? Didn't your plan fail?"

“You’re wrong, Shuichi-kun. It was the Tsunayo family’s plan that failed, not ours,” Tsunayo Tokinada said, shaking his head. “The failure of the two plans will not deter those nobles; it will only intensify their desires!”

Having heard Tsuna's words, Higashino Shuichi finally remembered a question Aizen had asked him one day when he returned to Soul Society.
"Shuichi, what do you think would be a good name for a nobleman's private armed force?"

So, Aizen foresaw this day back then?
"What nobles really want is just a private army that obeys their commands. As for the composition of this private army, it doesn't matter at all, right?"

Higashino Shuichi sneered, glancing at Tsunayoshi Tokina, who seemed to understand him perfectly.

"If it's possible for Bakuya-no-Tsurugi, who are essentially Hollowfied Shinigami, and for Fullbringers who are not valued in the real world, then why can't someone like me, a Shinigami who once betrayed Soul Society, do the same?"
As long as we nominally remain loyal to the nobles, that's enough, right?

"Next, you will be summoned by the head of the Tsunayo family, Shuichi-kun. You should know what to do, right?"

Tsunayoshi Tokinada never doubted Higashino Shuichi's intelligence, a fact that has been proven in countless past images.

“Of course,” Higashino Shuichi gave Tsunayoshi Tokinada a bright smile, “I’ve already thought of a name.”

At this moment, the scene seemed to overlap with the day Higashino Shuichi stood before Aizen.
"Let's call them the Sword Hunters!"
