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

Chapter 155, Section 153: Ukitake Jushiro Surrounded
Soul Society, Seireitei Tsunayo family main hall.

"Still can't get in touch with Higashino Shuichi?"

With a grim expression, Tsunayoshiro Shinbara stared at the Shinigami below and questioned him.

"Yes, Lord Tsunayoshiro, we've tried many methods, but we haven't been able to contact the Great Sword Hunter."

The Shinigami, who was being questioned by Tsunayoshiro Kanbara, was already sweating profusely.

No one knew why Higashino Shuichi, the sword-wielding commander who was always available, had suddenly disappeared at such a crucial moment.

"It's best if it isn't."

Tsunayoshiro slammed his fist heavily on the table next to him, and said with some concern.

He had just received news that Shiba Kaien, the future head of the Shiba family, was likely in grave danger in the present world. He didn't know what the danger was, but the fact that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had sent out not just one Ukitake Jushiro, but four more captains overnight showed how serious the situation was.

At this point, the best option for him, and for Higashino Shuichi, the chief swordsman who could almost be considered the private army of the Tsunayo family, was to remain still.

Otherwise, it would be terrible if such a great opportunity were to be unfairly blamed on them.

At this very moment, the great sword hunter Higashino Shuichi, whom Tsunayoshiro Kanbara was thinking about, was indeed not in the present world. Instead, he had just finished recruiting Halibel and was preparing to head to Las Noches to give Barragan a good beating.

Unaware of the seriousness of the situation, Higashino Shuichi still thought it was just a minor scuffle by Aizen, so he was going to get revenge for himself.

However, when Higashino Shuichi finally arrived at Hueco Mundo, he discovered that a huge black cavity had appeared above Hueco Mundo.

That was no ordinary black chamber. Just watching the dozen or so masked figures flying into it, including Barragan's unrestrained laughter, made Higashino Shuichi finally realize that something was wrong.

What is Aizen trying to do?

Did he actually take out almost all of his wealth in Hueco Mundo at once?
The last time Higashino Shuichi saw Aizen with such a large force was decades ago during the noble hunting incident.
"Don't give me anything too serious!"

Now, Higashino Shuichi really couldn't care less about such a trivial matter as causing trouble for Barragan. He immediately gave Halibel a few instructions, and then contacted Mayuri Kurotsuchi through the special contact method he had left for him, and asked the latter to open the portal for him.

Then, when Higashino Shuichi finally returned to Soul Society, he saw the Seireitei in a state of carnage, just like the one during the Kasumi Oji family's rebellion that night.

However, unlike the night of the Kasumi clan's rebellion, which encompassed almost half of Seireitei, this time, the area destroyed by Barragan and his group of Arrancars was limited to a small portion of the noble territories, plus a few Gotei 13 barracks near those territories.

If Higashino Shuichi remembers correctly, that area is
Rewind a few hours, and Jushiro Ukitake arrived in the mortal world and saw Kaien Shiba trapped inside. Kaien looked badly injured and couldn't even maintain the release of his Zanpakuto, but it was clear that he was still alive.

Was it just the right time for me to come?
Jushiro Ukitake gave a self-deprecating laugh.

How could that be? Look at these Arrancar standing around me, completely surrounding me, waiting for who knows how long. Shiba Kaien is just bait.

The real target of these Arrancar must be these Grim Reapers who came to provide support, right?

"Between the point and strike at the reinforcements, I didn't expect you weaklings to use such tactics?"

Facing the enemy's encirclement, Jushiro Ukitake calmly spoke.

He felt a little regretful now; how could he have forgotten to have his fortune told before coming here?

But whether you count it or not, the result won't be much different, because no matter what, Ukitake Jushiro will come to the human world, and he can't just abandon Shiba Kaien like that.

This has nothing to do with Shiba Kaien's noble status, but rather it reflects his responsibility as captain to his vice-captain.

"Having only one captain is indeed a bit too few."

As the No. 1 among the Espada, and the undisputed leader of this group of Arrancar, Stark answered without changing his expression.

"That's hard to say. Although I don't know how so many Arrancar suddenly appeared all of a sudden, how do you know? It's not that I think your numbers are a bit too few, is it?"

Ukitake Jushiro spoke in the weakest voice, yet with the most arrogant words.

"is it?"

Stark thought about the task Aizen had given him this time: to hold off the Shinigami coming to reinforce Soul Society as much as possible, but not to go too far; if they could be spared, they should be spared.

Because Aizen didn't want to end up with a completely fragmented Soul Society.

In his vision, most of these current team leaders could become the cornerstones of his future new world, intact.

Even the most stubborn individuals who cannot be persuaded should be used as valuable experimental subjects, rather than being lost in these pointless battles.

Therefore, Stark did not kill Shiba Kaien, nor did he intend to have the Arrancar swarm and eliminate Ukitake Jushiro. Instead, he generously revealed an opening to Ukitake Jushiro.
"Gantenbain Mosqueda, this Death Captain is in your hands!"

"Gangtenbain received!"

A powerful, orange-haired, star-marked, eyepatch-like Hollow mask with a beard, and bearing the number 7 on his right thigh, Espada leaped out from the group of Arrancar surrounding Jushiro Ukitake and stood before him.

"A one-on-one duel?"

When Jushiro Ukitake saw that only one Arrancar named Gonten Baien had taken action, while the other Arrancars had even moved back quite a distance, as if deliberately leaving them room to fight, he was puzzled, but he also knew that the current situation was definitely the most advantageous for him.

Otherwise, Jushiro Ukitake wasn't sure if his body could withstand so many Arrancar attacks at once.

After dealing with the Arrancar, Ukitake Jushiro quickly glanced up at the murky sky.

That means we can only hope that the Soul Society will react quickly.
"You who reign supreme! Mask of flesh and blood, all things, soaring high, crowned with the name of man! The walls of azure fire are inscribed with twin lotuses, the distant heavens await the abyss of great fire."

"Hado #73, Twin Lotus Azure Flames Fall!"

The opening move was a high-level breakthrough technique fully chanted, with several blue flames soaring through the air like eagles.

"It's just fire, it can't hurt me who's been blessed by God! Dragon Break Fist!"

Like most Arrancar, Ganten Byrne had absolute confidence in his own strength. Faced with Jushiro Ukitake's probing attack, he didn't even try to dodge, and quickly threw several punches at the flames.

With a dragon's roar, the Double Lotus Azure Fire Drop technique released by Jushiro Ukitake was shattered into pieces. But at that moment, Jushiro Ukitake, who was advancing along with the Double Lotus Azure Fire Drop, also arrived not far in front of Gonten Baien.

Slay him!

As one of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's most prized students, Ukitake Jushiro naturally knew this unique skill of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

However, due to his physical limitations, Jushiro Ukitake was never able to master the essence of this move, but if it was just for testing purposes, Jushiro Ukitake felt that the intensity was just right.

Just as Ukitake Jushiro had expected, the unfamiliar Arrancar still used his own fists to meet the attack.

"Dragon Collapse Fist!"

Gangteng Baien clenched his fists together and slammed them down on Ukitake Jushiro's Zanpakuto with the force of a mountain crashing down.

"The walls of iron sand, the pagoda in the shape of a monk, the glowing iron, because of their determination, ultimately fell silent."

Binding Spell Number Seventy-Five: Five Iron Pillars Piercing the Threads!

But at that moment, Ukitake Jushiro, who was prepared, finished chanting the Binding Spell at top speed. Five jet-black pillars of spiritual energy appeared in the sky and then fell towards Ganten Byrne.

"You've been underestimated, Death! A follower of the Lord will not be attacked by such petty tricks as yours!"
My Lord, please forgive us!
Dragon Roar Fist!

Gangtenbain quickly clasped his hands together and then released a huge beam of golden spiritual pressure upwards.

The five iron pillars that Jushiro Ukitake had created using Kido were thus melted into the spiritual pressure beam.

"So, these are your methods of attack, right?"

I think I understand now.

After three moves, Jushiro Ukitake showed an expression of enlightenment.

Next, a pair of shark-fin-shaped Zanpakuto connected by an iron chain, with five plaques hanging from them, appeared in Ukitake Jushiro's hands.
"All flowing waves become my shield, all lightning becomes my blade, Pisces's Logic!"

"So the Zanpakuto has finally been released? The Master says, this is more interesting!"

Just as Tenbain vanished from his spot, using his unique footwork, the Sound Transformation, he appeared before Ukitake Jushiro in the next instant.
"Dragon Breaking Fist!"

He unleashed several punches at Ukitake Jushiro.

However, Jushiro Ukitake blocked them all using his left-hand Zanpakuto.

"Although on the surface you're attacking with your fists, it's different from the pure swordsmanship of us Shinigami. For your fists to be effective, they essentially rely on the spiritual pressure that surrounds your entire fist."
Therefore, you have no chance of winning against me!

Jushiro Ukitake analyzed as he spoke, then thrust his right Zanpakuto forward. The spiritual pressure he had just absorbed from Gantenbain through his left Zanpakuto was released through his right Zanpakuto. And through the five plaques representing different types between the two Zanpakuto, Jushiro Ukitake dramatically sculpted a real dragon shape, which bit Gantenbain's waist.

"No! The Lord says you can never be my match!"

However, faced with Jushiro Ukitake's counterattack, Gonten Byrne had not yet realized the true nature of Jushiro Ukitake's Zanpakuto ability; he simply felt that this was the result of his underestimation of his opponent.

Therefore, Gangtenbain grabbed the dragon-shaped spiritual energy that was biting him with both hands, poured in his spiritual pressure, and with a Cero, shattered the spiritual energy. Then, he clasped his hands together again.
"My lord, please forgive us!"
Dragon Roar Fist!

A massive beam of golden spiritual pressure reappeared, this time carrying the rage of its master, and it devoured the enemies in front of it!

And then, that was it.
Gangtenbain watched helplessly as the beam of light he had unleashed with all his might was lightly touched by Jushiro Ukitake's Zanpakuto in his left hand and vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed in the world at all.

"Lord, can you tell me what's going on?"

Gang Tengbaien was baffled; he couldn't understand what was going on at all. And the counterattack from Ukitake Jushiro didn't require him to figure it out either.

As he watched the Dragon Roar Fist, which he had just unleashed with all his might, engulf him, Gang Teng Baien knew that when he went to see the Lord later, he would have something to say to Him.

"Lord, I know how much pain those you forgive feel."

Even after Ganttbyne was completely defeated, Stark, who had been watching all this from afar, stood in mid-air, unmoved.

He felt no grief for his companion's death for a single moment.

Or rather, in Stark's mind, these failed Arrancar, created from Aizen's half-finished Hogyoku, were not worthy of being called his companions. He agreed with Aizen's description of these Arrancar as nothing more than a group of expendable items with some value.

Just as Stark was preparing to send in a new Arrancar to test the strength of this Captain Death, the portal opened in the dawn sky, and four Deaths wearing Captain's Hagoromo emerged.

"Oh~ it seems it really is quite tragic. But isn't there just too much illusion in this world?"
"You guys didn't move from Hueco Mundo to the Human World, did you?"

With just one glance, Kyoraku Shunsui, the captain of the Eighth Division wearing a straw hat, began to make a cynical and sarcastic remark.

But that was just his tone. In reality, Ukitake Jushiro, who was familiar with Kyoraku Shunsui, had already seen the slight anger in Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes.

Stark slightly shifted his body to the side, dodging the unexpected sword strike from Kyoraku Shunsui, and looked up without fear, saying, "Is this your Death Captain's greeting gift?"

Although he didn't know why this Death Captain was able to know so accurately in such a short time that he was the leader of this group of Arrancar, Stark never had any fear of these Death Captains.

"So you're the one who attacked us Shinigami? State your name, Arrancar!"

The captain of the 7th Division, Komamura Sajin, also looked at Stark, drew his Zanpakuto, and released the restrictions on his spiritual pressure, his surging battle intent aimed directly at Stark.

Meanwhile, Soi Fon, the captain of the second division, saw Shiba Kaien, who had been temporarily abandoned and was being watched over by Mugen due to Ukitake Jushiro's arrival, and arrived at his side in a few instant steps.

As for the last one, Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division who was completely out of sync with everyone else, he quickly descended from the portal in the sky, picked up his sword, and charged into the group of Arrancar surrounding Jushiro Ukitake without saying a word.

"Hahaha, whether it's a gift or something else, I hope you guys can give me a good time this time!"

"Looks like I'll have to play with you guys for a while."

Seeing the imposing presence of these Death Captains, Stark knew that a major battle was inevitable.
