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

Chapter 198, Section 196. Is this considered a battleground?

The wind in the cosmos is quite noisy.

"Hriber, what are Sun Sun and Apache doing?"

Standing on the land of Hueco Mundo, Shuichi Higashino frowned and looked at the three subordinates of Harribel who were frantically emitting spiritual pressure in the distance.

The winds in Hueco Mundo were caused by the battle between these Arrancar.

"I don't know, but Apache and the others often play around like this, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Helibel looked into Higashino Shuichi's eyes as he answered.

"Nothing?" Higashino Shuichi's haori was blown up by the wind, and two Cero flashes grazed past him, shooting straight at Unohana Retsu behind Higashino Shuichi.

However, this level of Cero is nothing more than a single strike for Retsu Unohana.

"You're telling me this was also an accident?"

"I said with some dissatisfaction."

If he had known, he wouldn't have gone to all that trouble and introduced Retsu Unohana to Halibel and the others.

The main difference is that Halibel and the others are different from Shinigami like Kisaragi Shusuke. Shusuke and Yushima Oshu are now officially Higashino Shuichi's people, but Halibel and the other Arrancar are not. Higashino Shuichi doesn't have the heart of Aizen, who would sell out his subordinates without hesitation.

Therefore, taking this opportunity to get to know each other is theoretically not a bad thing for Higashino Shuichi.

This will prevent Unohana Retsu from accidentally harming Halibel and the others in the future.

However, Higashino Shuichi did not expect that, as the two main parties involved in the meeting, Unohana Retsu and Halibel had not yet made any statement, while Halibel's three subordinates were visibly unhappy.

The way they looked at Unohana Retsu was extremely unfriendly.

Apache and Mira, in particular, were quite dissatisfied with Retsu Unohana, as the two Arrancar who hadn't witnessed the battle.

"It's alright, Shuichi. After all, I'm the captain of the Shinigami team, and they're Arrancars. It's normal for us to dislike each other."

At this moment, Retsu Unohana, who had easily shattered the two Cero attacks, stepped forward, looked at Halibel, and smiled.

As a Shinigami who has lived for over a thousand years, Retsu Unohana may not have eaten pork, but she has seen pigs run. In addition, as a woman herself, even though Halibel did not say anything, she still saw some clues from the way Halibel looked at Shuichi Higashino.

From this, we can deduce why the three Helibel subordinates reacted in this way.

It's still those three words, perfectly normal.

If it were the old Retsu Unohana, she would probably have smiled slightly after discovering all this, then turned around and left, returning to Soul Society.

But now, Retsu Unohana and Halibel have locked eyes.

"My usual approach to dealing with unruly kids is to beat them into submission. Shuichi, you wouldn't refuse my request to discipline those three naughty Arrancar, would you?"

Unohana Retsu spoke in the softest tone, yet with the most domineering words.

"What do you want to do?"

Upon hearing Unohana Retsu's question about wanting to take action against his three subordinates, Halibel immediately glared fiercely at Unohana Retsu.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to teach them a lesson."

Unohana Retsu said with a smile.

"I won't allow it!"

Halibel is now completely locked in a battle with Unohana Retsu.

As everyone knows, Halibel has four Achilles' heel. The first one, without a doubt, is Shuichi Higashino. The remaining three are not ranked in any particular order, because these people are all Halibel's subordinates.

The smell of gunpowder spread rapidly through the air.

Higashino Shuichi sensed something was amiss, but from his perspective, Apache and the others were indeed going a bit too far at this moment.

If you really want to express your dissatisfaction, you can just take action against Higashino Shuichi himself. Why do you dare to so openly attack Unohana Retsu?

Could it be that they really think Unohana Retsu can be defeated by him, and therefore Unohana Retsu is a weak Shinigami captain who can be bullied by them?

"It's up to you!"

A lesson must be taught, and a severe one at that!
Shuichi Higashino directly granted Retsu Unohana permission.

He believed that Retsu Unohana knew how to use her strength.

Furthermore, the reason why Shuichi Higashino was so generous in telling Retsu Unohana about the identities of the Arrancar like Halibel was because of Retsu Unohana's personality.

This is a Shinigami who lacks the traditional values ​​of Soul Society Shinigami.

For Retsu Unohana, the greatest meaning of life is to enjoy a thrilling and exhilarating battle.

As for anything else, whether it's Shinigami, Hollows, or Quincy, Retsu Unohana can treat them all with equal indifference.

But Halibel could not do that.

For Heliber, Sun Sun and the others were far more than just ordinary subordinates.

They seem more like members of the Halibel family.

Therefore, not long after Retsu Unohana left, Halibel also planned to leave.

She was worried that Retsu Unohana, the powerful Shinigami captain, might harm Sun Sun and the others.

However, just as there was a story of slaying Hua Xiong while the wine was still warm in the present world, Hueco Mundo now has the same story.

Less than ten minutes after Retsu Unohana left, the wind stopped.

Halibel's three subordinates, who had disgraced her, were brought back by Unohana Retsu like chicks.

"I'm sorry, Lord Halibel."

Apache stared at the powerful Death Captain who had subdued all three of them with a single move. Even with his long, flowing hair, his elegance and the murderous aura hidden within him were undeniable.

It was rare for her to reach a consensus with Mira, and together with Sun Sun, they were able to fight for the honor of Lord Halibel, whom they followed. Unfortunately, their strength was simply too insignificant in front of that Death Captain!

Why is that Death Captain so strong?! This is so illogical! It's not like Apache hasn't seen other Death Captains before.

You have to understand that even Aizen's subordinates, the two Shinigami captains named Tosen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin, are only so-so in strength. Although she, Apache, definitely can't beat them, Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname can't beat her own Lord Halibel either!

"I don't agree!"

Meanwhile, Mira, another exotic Arrancar who had been brought to Halibel's side by Retsu Unohana, mustered up her courage and voiced her protest to Shuichi Higashino.

Mila!

Seemingly anticipating what Mira was about to say, Halibel immediately tried to stop Mira, but was stopped by Higashino Shuichi.

"Let her say it!"

Higashino Shuichi considered himself a fairly conscientious leader. He always made sure Haribel and the others enjoyed themselves, and whenever Aizen made new updates to his techniques for perfecting the Arrancars, he would immediately find a way to provide them with those opportunities. Furthermore, he never assigned them any suicidal missions.

So, faced with Mira's dissatisfaction, Higashino Shuichi was also eager to hear what exactly Mira had to say about her dissatisfaction.

Then Shuichi Higashino regretted it!

"Lord Shuichi! Our Lord Halibel has followed you for so long, and his love for you is no less than that of any other Shinigami. Why is it that this Shinigami captain, who once tried to kill you, receives such preferential treatment from you? You even personally gave her a jewel! While our Lord Halibel has done so many things for you, yet he has never received a single gift from you personally!"

In an instant, all the Shinigami and Arrancar present, whether it was Higashino Shuichi, Halibel, Unohana Retsu, or Sun Sun and Apache, were silenced by Mira's "heartfelt words".

Higashino Shuichi turned around and admired the cloudless sky;
Unohana Retsu looked at Halibel with a smile;
Halibel blushed and lowered his head;
Sun Sun covered her face with her two sleeves, peeking out a small gap to secretly observe Higashino Shuichi and Halibel;

Apache was somewhat regretful. She slapped her head, reflecting on how stupid she had been. She clearly wanted to say that too, but Mira beat her to it!

"Cough cough."

After a long silence, it was finally broken by Higashino Shuichi's cough.

"Well, anyway, you all know about Halibel now. From now on, Retsu Unohana, the captain of the fourth division of the Gotei 13, is one of us. If you ever want to cause trouble in Soul Society, try not to go to the fourth division. Even if you accidentally run into her, I believe Yachiru will be lenient towards your subordinates."

"It's hard to say, Shuichi. If they happen to run into me, the battle won't be to my satisfaction, and the outcome might not be good."

However, Unohana Retsu said something that showed no respect for Higashino Hide.

However, when Retsu Unohana said these words, her gaze was directed at Halibel.

"Don't worry, Captain Unohana. If you happen to run into any of the girls, Sun Sun, Apache, or Mira, please remember that I'll be nearby!"

Halibel showed no sign of backing down, and even became more aggressive in his stance.

"You mean, you can let me enjoy a battle similar to the one we just had?"

Unohana Retsu answered as if it were nothing more than a casual remark.

In reality, they secretly emphasized the pronunciation of the two words just now.

This made Halibel's gaze even more hostile.
"It's hard to say. Shuichi might show leniency towards Captain Unohana for various reasons, but I won't, whether from the perspective of the Arrancar or..."

Halibel was speaking seriously when he was suddenly interrupted by Higashino Shuichi.

"Stop, stop, stop! If you keep talking, it'll make it seem like my decision to let you meet was stupid. You're all the same."

As Higashino Shuichi was about to speak, he glanced at Unohana Retsu, whose eyes seemed to be fixed solely on Halibel, and at Halibel, whose eyes were undoubtedly fixed solely on Unohana Retsu.

Forget it, Higashino Shuichi was already regretting his impulsive decision to let Unohana Retsu and Halibel meet.

It seems like his decision had the opposite effect.

Indeed, being too charming can be a bad thing!

But back in the real world, Kabuto Sayaka and Matsumoto Rangiku got along quite well!
I don't understand, I really don't understand.

Fortunately, at that moment, Higashino Shuichi received a message from Shima Oshu: Yamada Seinosuke, it's all done!

Just as Higashino Shuichi and Unohana Retsu were fighting, in the Soul Society's Seireitei, within the alternate dimension constructed by Yujima Osh, Yamada Seinosuke's spiritual pressure was unsurprisingly absorbed and transformed by Yujima Osh.

Seinosuke Yamada, whose spiritual pressure was already inferior to Yushima Osh's, was almost powerless against the domineering power of Yushima Osh's Zanpakuto.

"I knew it. Higashino Shuichi's identity was definitely not that simple. Otherwise, how could he have transformed into a special captain after being hunted down by Soul Society as a traitor for more than ten years?"

Ha ha ha ha
The five noble families, Gangmi Dai family, Gangmi Dai Shitan family.
If that's the case, then everything makes sense!

After finally "patiently" listening to Yujima Oshu's explanation, Yamada Seinosuke sat on the ground somewhat embarrassed and burst into unrestrained laughter.

The truth revealed by Shima Oshu can almost completely dispel all the doubts surrounding Higashino Shuichi so far.

If he really was serving that member of the Tsunayo family from the very beginning, and if he really had such a close relationship with the five noble families, then how could Higashino Shuichi have enjoyed so many privileges in the past and grown to this point? Isn't that outrageous?

That's not outrageous at all!
More importantly, where is Captain Unohana?

Was she also secretly serving the nobility?
It was because of the instructions from Tsunayoshi Tokinada that Captain Unohana went to such lengths to train Higashino Shuichi!

Yes, that must be it!
That explains everything!

Seinosuke Yamada laughed wildly; all the mysteries of the past were finally completely resolved at this moment.

Furthermore, what pleased Seinosuke Yamada even more was that everything he had done before was the right thing to do.

If he hadn't persisted in conducting those experiments, that member of the Tsunayo family would never have noticed him, and he would have remained the fourth division vice-captain who could never catch Captain Unohana's eye!
Instead of the next one, the general agent of the Shin-O Medicine Institute!

Yes, he agreed to Yujima Osh.

For Seinosuke Yamada, this wasn't even a question he needed to consider.

After seeing the research reference materials provided by the member of the Tsunayo family, Seinosuke Yamada knew very well that the man's plan required his help, and he, Seinosuke Yamada, was undoubtedly the core of it!
Even Higashino Shuichi, the current leader of the Sword Hunters of the Soul Society who is at the height of his power in Soul Society, can only serve as his assistant and cover for him.

What a wonderful experience that would be!

Seinosuke Yamada wasn't sure yet, but just thinking about it made him tremble with excitement.

Yamada Seinosuke even saw the admiring look in Captain Unohana's eyes when he appeared before her with the Soul King substitute he had personally created on the day the plan for the Soul King substitute succeeded.

This is a plan that only Yamada Seinosuke is qualified to complete among all the Shinigami in the entire Soul Society!

He has to do it!
"Just you wait, Captain!"

Before long, you'll definitely look at me with new respect!

Seinosuke Yamada envisioned the future.

Yujima Oshu seemed to be looking at a fool, a man who was also a man who was himself.

Because in his hands was a thick stack of contingency plans for as many as 73 different scenarios, which he had spent a whole week working on, repeatedly revising and organizing, when Xiu Yi said he would entrust the task to him.

In order to successfully persuade Yamada Seinosuke to join Tsunayoshi Tokinada's camp, Yujima Oshi felt that he deserved the title of "putting in his heart and soul".

But now, Yamada Seinosuke's behavior makes Yujima Oshu feel like her heart is bleeding.

why?
Why did he spend so much time preparing, only to end up with someone like this?

They agreed after just a few casual words!
How is he supposed to prove his strength to Lord Hideaki then?!
If you had just been a little more critical, complained about the salary, the work environment, or talked to me about the working hours—what time of day, how many days off a week—it would have been great!

To be honest, at this moment, Yujima Oki felt like killing Yamada Seinosuke.

Unfortunately, he couldn't, and he also knew that Lord Shuichi was probably still waiting for his progress.

Therefore, after confirming Yamada Seinosuke's agreement to join, he reluctantly sent a message to Higashino Shuichi.

On the other side, Higashino Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief.

He took Unohana Retsu's small hand, his ethereal form expanded, the black cavity tore open, and he rushed home!
