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

Chapter 245, Section 243: Yoruichi's Suffering and Cooperation with Aizen

Yoruichi Shihouin left, leaving Shuichi Higashino behind.

Higashino's eyes were filled with confusion.

"She's already gone far away, why keep pretending?"
But nobody appreciates your incredibly realistic acting anymore.

Suddenly, Aizen Sousuke appeared out of nowhere, smiling as he looked in the direction where Yoruichi Shihouin had left.

"Isn't there Lord Aizen here for you to enjoy the view?"

After all, I don't have your powerful spiritual sense, Lord Aizen. What if Yoruichi Shihouin senses something and suddenly returns?

"It's all an act, Aizen-sama, you know me, I always like to go all the way~"

Higashino Shuichi's eyes instantly became crystal clear, and he took two steps in one to reach Aizen Sousuke's side and said.

"There are only the two of us here. Do you still need to be so humble in front of me now?"

Aizen glanced at Higashino Shuichi out of the corner of his eye before speaking.

"It is necessary, just as I now address you, Lord Aizen. Even though I have my own ideas, I have never forgotten your guidance and training."

Otherwise, we wouldn't be working together like this now, would we?

Higashino Shuichi said calmly, his hands in his pockets.

"If I were you, I wouldn't leave such a good pawn as Hisamii Kentei unused, and instead choose to do something so thankless and exhausting."

Rain Dew Takuro's abilities are indeed very useful, but he is ultimately just a Zanpakuto separated from its master. It's still too difficult to unleash the true power of Hisumai Enteki. If Yoruichi Shihouin hadn't chosen to escape through the opening you created, but instead directly attacked the imposter Hisumai Enteki, your plan would probably have failed from the start.

Aizen Sousuke recounted the events.

Regardless, he still believed that Higashino Shuichi's actions were far too risky—or more accurately, radical.

If he were in charge of the design, he would definitely divide Higashino Shuichi's plan into two steps instead of one.

"If I had the same useful abilities as Lord Aizen's Zanpakuto, I wouldn't need to do this."

Unfortunately, I don't have that. The more steps I take, the more I owe you, Lord Aizen, isn't that right?

That might not be a good thing for me either.

Of course, Higashino Shuichi knew what Aizen was referring to.

From the very beginning, Higashino Shuichi never intended for Hisami Kentei to actually confront Shihouin Yoruichi.

On the one hand, Higashino Shuichi could not completely believe Hisamii Kentei's one-sided story. What if the two of them were really in cahoots and turned around to accuse Higashino Shuichi? In that case, he would lose more than he gained.

On the other hand, Higashino Shuichi felt that Urahara Kisuke's approach was not wrong. The first captain, who had a strong sense of self and would not compromise with others, was indeed a hidden danger if he stayed. In that case, it would be better to find something for the captains of Soul Society to do, so that while increasing Mayuri Kurotsuchi's merits, as many of the captains of Soul Society as possible could be attracted to the human world.

Therefore, in Aizen's view, dealing with Yoruichi Shihouin and eliminating Entei Hisamune could have been done in two separate steps, or simply combined into one, eliminating them all at once.

However, in Higashino Shuichi's opinion, the best solution is to separate them.

This also has another advantage: it allows Higashino Shuichi to carry out the subsequent series of plans against Shihouin Yoruichi on his own.

The project was named by Hideichi Higashino.
"Inception".

Therefore, everything Yoruichi Shihouin saw at the beginning was indeed a space created by Shima Osh, but the figures of Ente Hisamen and Shuichi Higashino inside were fake, clones created by Takuro Amatsu using his ability to fuse spirit particles.

It was for this reason that Yoruichi Shihouin's Shunko Raiju Sengoku was able to forcefully shatter Ente Hisamen's Bankai ability in the first layer of space.

That was simply because the spirit particles had not yet fully merged with the spirit remains of Hisamii Yantetsu, and Yuru Takuro was not skilled in operating them.

It has form but no substance.

If Yoruichi Shihouin had focused her attention on this matter back then, she might have been able to discover some clues.

However, Higashino Shuichi was certain that Shihouin Yoruichi would not.

This is the oppressive force that Higashino Shuichi exerted from the very beginning by having Shima Oshi, Kisaragi Shusuke, Sayako, and others all on the field.

Higashino Shuichi was certain that Shihouin Yoruichi did not have a calm and collected heart that could withstand any eventuality.

Imagine facing at least four captain-level fighters, two of whom are definitely no weaker than you, or even stronger than you – who could remain calm enough?

Being able to find the flaw that Higashino Shuichi deliberately gave her was already the best result of Yoruichi Shihouin's efforts to maintain her thinking ability.

After that, the second layer of space was constructed by Higashino Shuichi.

No, strictly speaking, this is not a space constructed by Higashino Shuichi.

Because everything Yoruichi Shihouin saw before she met Higashino Shuichi disguised as Kensei Muguruma, and the other two clones created by Takuro Amatsu, was real.

As Yoruichi Shihouin analyzed, even with Oshiro Yushima's abilities, he was not yet capable of creating a new space on top of the space he had created.

Even if he could do it, he couldn't make it so realistic that it would be indistinguishable from the real thing.

Therefore, Yoruichi Shihouin has truly arrived on the ocean.

Within Soul Society, Mayuri Kurotsuchi received the information because of the alarm at that time.

So strictly speaking, Yoruichi Shihouin actually achieved her goal.

She succeeded in trying to annoy Higashino Shuichi.

However, Yoruichi Shihouin probably didn't expect that Shuichi Higashino had already made preparations to have Enetsu Hisamii, who was under the influence of Kyoka Suigetsu, cause a great disturbance with the captains of Soul Society in the human world.

Therefore, her actions merely prompted Higashino Shuichi to turn the tables and initiate this part of the plan with Aizen ahead of time.

As for Yoruichi Shihouin herself, she successfully deceived herself with the help of Shuichi Higashino's realistic acting and the clone of Shinji Hirako created by Takuro Amatsu.

She convinced herself that what she had just experienced was a carefully crafted world by Shuichi Higashino.

The new world that she is now in, which was revealed to her by Hirako Shinji through Higashino Shuichi's ability, is the true present world.

However, in reality, the world that Higashino Shuichi deliberately exposed was a new space created by Shima Ouko after he had rested and rehearsed the previous rehearsals.

"Even so, I still can't understand what your purpose is in doing this."

If you want to control Yoruichi Shihouin, let alone me, you could do it all by yourself, right?
With the help of those two little ones, Kisaragi Shusuke and Yujima Oshi.

After going through all this trouble, you're still letting Yoruichi Shihouin leave. What exactly do you want from her?

Aizen Sousuke rarely asked Higashino Shuichi a real question.

Indeed, Higashino Shuichi wasn't particularly surprised.

Because probably not many people in the world of Bleach have seriously studied psychiatry.

Death is also human. As far as Higashino Shuichi is concerned, he is human, and therefore has mental weaknesses that can be exploited.

Higashino Shuichi knew that, given his current abilities and situation, it was far too impossible for him to find Urahara Kisuke, who was deliberately hiding, in the vast East Coast Bureau.

Therefore, Yoruichi Shihouin is his only breakthrough point.

He wanted to know what kind of trouble Kisuke Urahara was up to behind the scenes.

It is obvious that everything happening in Soul Society now is not part of the original storyline in Shuichi Higashino's memory. A large part of it is related to Kisuke Urahara's actions at the Higashino Headquarters.

Even though Kisuke Urahara proved himself to be an executor of the Soul King's will in the original storyline, what were his true intentions? No one knows.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi had to pry open Yoruichi Shihouin's mouth.

However, when dealing with a veteran captain like Yoruichi Shihouin, especially the former head of the Shihouin family, she knows far too much, far too much, so much that Yoruichi Shihouin would absolutely not be afraid of any threat of death.

It would be absolutely impossible to get Yoruichi Shihouin to reveal even the slightest information about Kisuke Urahara using ordinary methods.

Higashino Shuichi had given Yoruichi Shihouin a chance before.

It's a pity that Yoruichi Shihouin didn't cherish it.

So what Higashino Shuichi is trying to do now is to "drive" Yoruichi Shihouin "crazy," making her unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Then, through repeated attempts, she found the part that was closest to the truth in Yoruichi Shihouin's heart.

For example, when Yoruichi Shihouin saw Higashino Shuichi disguised as Kensei Muguruma, she didn't show any surprise.

This shows that she believed in Urahara Kisuke's intention to send someone to meet her. However, what Higashino Shuichi and the others said later made Yoruichi Shihouin suspicious. Higashino Shuichi didn't care what they said; he only needed to know that Yoruichi Shihouin believed that someone would come to meet her.

This led to the later scene where Higashino Shuichi made a last-minute choice to have Hirako Shinji, a clone created by Uru Takuro, "rescue" Shihouin Yoruichi from Higashino Shuichi.

Higashino Shuichi believed that as long as real-time corrections were made continuously, Aizen could step in and use Kyoka Suigetsu to stabilize Yoruichi Shihouin when the spaces could no longer be connected at crucial moments.

There will come a moment when Yoruichi Shihouin's mind will completely break down, until she fully believes that the next person she sees is Kisuke Urahara.

Or rather, they simply couldn't believe that the person they were about to see was Kisuke Urahara.

No matter which shore he reaches, it is an acceptable outcome for Higashino Shuichi.

As it turned out, Yoruichi Shihouin was indeed quite vigilant from the very beginning.

Upon seeing the clone of Shinji Hirako created by Yuru Takuro, and after recovering from Shinji Hirako's Bankai ability, Reverse Evil Eight Treasures, Yoruichi Shihouin immediately realized the problem.

Because Higashino Shuichi's spiritual pressure is stronger than his own. With Hirako Shinji's spiritual pressure, it would take some effort even to hypnotize him, let alone to hypnotize Higashino Shuichi.

Yoruichi Shihouin had no doubt that Shinji Hirako was incapable of imbuing Shuichi Higashino with his Bankai abilities.

so.
"Thunder King Fist!"

Yoruichi Shihōin hesitated for a moment before launching an attack on Shinji Hirako.

"Miss Yoruichi? You..."

Looking at Hirako Shinji, whose face was filled with shock and who hadn't made any preparations to defend himself, and who had been killed by his own hands, Yoruichi Shihouin was momentarily dazed.

"Isn't she being too paranoid?"
If we're talking about this Hirako Shinji..."

"No, that's impossible! This Hirako Shinji must be a fake!"

Yoruichi Shihouin comforted herself in this way.

But then she realized another problem.

If this Hirako Shinji is fake, then doesn't that mean that Higashino Shuichi wasn't actually hit? How did she escape?

Why did Higashino Shuichi let her go?
Could it be that I thought wrongly?

She really just now.
Yoruichi Shihouin dared not think any further.

Because that was something she could never accept.

Soon, Yoruichi Shihouin encountered Kensei Muguruma and Rojuro Ootori, who had also come to provide support, as she sailed out of the island nation and onto the open sea.

Kensei Muguruma asked, "Captain Yoruichi, have you seen that guy, Shinji Hirako?"

She almost broke Yoruichi Shihouin's heart.

Looking at these two companions, whose disguises he had just personally shattered not long ago.

Yoruichi Shihouin's brain was almost losing its basic ability to make judgments.

"Could they be enemies?"

"probably?"

"If Hirako Shinji was like that before, then they must be too!"

"Yes, they are still Higashino Shuichi in disguise!"

"Instant Roar - Thunder Beast Battle Form!"

Yoruichi Shihouin went through a complex internal struggle before launching an attack on Kensei Muguruma and Rojuro Ootori.

The result was that both of them stared wide-eyed, and without any resistance, fell to Yoruichi Shihouin's lightning, turning into charred remains.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"

She didn't know how much time had passed, nor how many Kensei Muguruma, Rojuro Otorihashi, and Shinji Hirako had killed who rushed over to save her.

Yoru Shihōin gasped for breath.

She found that she no longer had the ability to distinguish between the real and fake Hirako Shinji, Touhou Rojuro, and Mukuro Kensei who came over.

Because the further you go, the more these people resemble the three Grim Reapers from your memories.

Even on one occasion, Yoruichi Shihouin wasn't sure if she had actually killed those three guys with her own hands.

Right now, all she wants is to find a place to rest.

She no longer wanted to kill Kensei Rokkaku and the others.
Yoruichi Shihouin found a deserted island with a large rock by the sea. She leaned against it, letting the waves soak the hem of her clothes.

She was really tired.

Suddenly, Yoruichi Shihouin wondered if it was just her imagination or if she was really dreaming.

She thought she saw Kisuke Urahara.

"Is that you, Kisuke?"

Yoruichi Shihouin said with somewhat dazed eyes.

Kisuke Urahara probably won't be here, right?

This is how it should normally be, but the current situation is not quite normal.

Yoruichi Shihouin just wants to rest now.

But if Kisuke Urahara were by my side...
"Yes, I'm here, Yoruichi."

Those six simple words instantly shattered Yoruichi Shihouin's last psychological defense.

"I want to take a break, Kisuke~"

Yoruichi Shihouin managed a weak smile as she spoke.

Then she fell into Kisuke Urahara's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
