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

Chapter 306, Section 304: Battle Review
Three days later, in the present-day Urahara General Store, Higashino Shuichi, Kurosaki Misaki, and Urahara Kisuke gathered around Shiba Isshin's sickbed.

"Isn't this a bit too much for you guys?"

Shiba Isshin said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Today is the day you are fully recovered, so of course we should celebrate it. However, your arm still cannot be restored; it is completely broken."

Higashino Shuichi pointed to Shiba Isshin's missing left arm and said.

"It's alright, it won't affect my strength much, it's nothing serious!"

Shiba Isshin said very generously, seemingly not taking it seriously at all.

"But then again, what happened in Soul Society after I was beaten back by Gin Ichimaru?"
Did you manage to save Yinmeng?
I asked Mr. Urahara about this, but he said it would be better if the two of you involved could tell the story.

Zhibo asked with great curiosity.

In response, Higashino Shuichi and Kurosaki Masaki exchanged a glance, and then Higashino Shuichi stepped forward without hesitation to speak.
"In the end, you could say you saved Yinmeng, right?"

And you don't need to worry about Aizen anymore, because Aizen has already revealed his identity. He's the subordinate of Gin Ichimaru, the former captain of the 3rd Division of the Gotei 13, and Kaname Tōsen, the former captain of the 9th Division.”

"Even Tosen Kaname is one?!"

"Isshin Shiba said, somewhat surprised."

Higashino nodded slightly.
"That's right, it's Tosen Kaname too."

Furthermore, Aizen obtained the magical gem he named the Hogyoku. According to Kisuke Urahara, it was because of the Hogyoku that Aizen possessed the power to fight against all the remaining captains of the Soul Society single-handedly.

"Wait, one person? Against all the remaining captains?"

Shiba Isshin wondered if he had misheard something. Was this really the Aizen he knew?

Do you want to be so outrageous!
"Yes, if it weren't for Kisuke Urahara sending the first captains to help at the last moment, Aizen probably wouldn't have been able to escape to Hueco Mundo with Gin Ichimaru in the end."

Higashino Shuichi said with a rather sentimental expression.

"So, despite such a formidable force, Aizen still managed to escape?"

And they even took Gin Ichimaru with them when they ran away?
"Wait a minute, what about Tosen?"

Shiba Isshin immediately noticed the blind spot.

"Tosen Kaname? Of course he was taken down by those Shinigami from the Gotei 13!"
However, this is only the side of the story of those Grim Reapers and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Higashino Shuichi didn't expect Shiba Isshin's angle to be so tricky, but luckily he was prepared.

"Most importantly, the last group of Shinigami fought against the first generation of Shinigami captains under Kisuke Urahara. The battle was so fierce that it shook the heavens and the earth!

It is said that Yamamoto even used his Bankai in the end, which led to the Soul Society discovering, when compiling statistics, that Aizen's entire attack had done less damage to the Soul Society than Yamamoto's single Bankai strike.

It's a pity I wasn't there, otherwise I would have definitely helped out.

As Higashino Shuichi spoke, he also glanced at Kurosaki Masaki, who was standing to the side, which made Kurosaki Masaki, who had been a little shy to speak from the beginning, even more excited.

"Then you can't blame me, senior. Who knew that the fifth seat of the 11th Division named Ayasegawa Yumichika would also have Bankai!"
Moreover, he can use many advanced Kido techniques with great skill.

Even if your senior were to fight this kind of Grim Reaper, he probably wouldn't fare much better, right?

Very well, in order to absolve herself of responsibility, Kurosaki Masaki directly launched a baseless attack, regardless of whether Shiba Isshin personally experienced what happened back then, it doesn't matter how she explains it.

As for whether anyone will believe the last part of Masaki Kurosaki's words, that's up to them.

In any case, Higashino Shuichi didn't give Kurosaki Masaki any face at all; all he did after listening was "uh-huh" and "humph".
"Who was that trying to block someone's slash with just one finger, and almost had their finger sliced ​​off with a single blow?"

"If you can't beat them, just admit it! Why pretend otherwise?"

Upon hearing this, Masaki Kurosaki immediately blushed and bit her lip, saying...

"Isn't that because I saw how my senior blocked that bald Grim Reaper's attack before?"
I figured I wasn't that much worse than my seniors, so I should be able to do it too.

"Why don't you ask first and then try it in actual combat?"

What a fool you are!

"If I hadn't arrived in time, you might not have even lost your finger, your life might be in danger, you know that!"

If it were Kisaragi Shusuke or the Ouko brothers, Higashino Shuichi would definitely have pointed his finger at them and cursed them.

However, since the other party was Masaki Kurosaki, a middle school girl, Shuichi Higashino still couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Didn't I see that he was crippled by my Holy Annihilation Arrow the moment I saw him?"

I thought he didn't have much strength to fight back.

Masaki Kurosaki immediately said in a pitiful tone.

At the same time, there was a hint of anger deep down.

Because she already had a clear advantage at that time, as long as she played steadily, she would definitely be able to defeat that Grim Reaper.

As a result, just because she wanted to put on an act, Ayasegawa Yumichika seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack, almost killing her.

Fortunately, Kabuto-senpai arrived in time.

But this can't really be blamed on Masaki Kurosaki.

After all, Ayasegawa Yumichika was a Grim Reaper personally trained by Higashino Shuichi during his time in the Daytime Moon Squad. In terms of the application of various military strategies and tactics, Ayasegawa Yumichika was even more skilled than Ruki Shusuke and Yujima Oshu.

Therefore, it's already a miracle that Kurosaki Masaki has been able to fight to this extent against someone who seems to have cheated, someone who seems to have been sent down from the sky like a death god.

"So? So what happened to the Gotei 13 in the end?"

Fortunately, Shiba Isshin interrupted the interaction between Higashino Shuichi and Kurosaki Masaki in time. Compared to the situation on Kurosaki Masaki's side, Shiba Isshin was obviously more concerned about the Soul Society.

"Then you'll have to ask Kisuke. After all, after I found Masaki, I rushed out of Soul Society with him, so I'm not really clear about what happened afterward."

Shuichi Higashino really liked guys like Isshin Shiba who cooperated, because only in this way could he take the opportunity to steer the conversation toward Kisuke Urahara.

Actually, Shuichi Higashino was also a little curious about the outcome of that battle.

Unfortunately, Aizen had already compromised the strongest intelligence outpost that Higashino Shuichi had placed in Soul Society.

Yoruichi Shihouin was directly recruited back into the Soul Society after the war.

Although the Hollowfied Shinigami who remained in the human world cannot return to Soul Society for the time being due to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Soul Society has temporarily lifted the arrest warrant for them, allowing them to move freely in the human world.

Therefore, Shuichi Higashino had no way of getting the results of that battle from Yoruichi Shihouin.

As for finding Kabuto Masayako and the others, that's unnecessary.

After all, this wasn't a serious matter, and there was absolutely no need for Higashino Shuichi to go looking for Kabuto Asayako and the others at a time like this.

Right now, Kabuto Sayaka is probably dealing with Kisaragi Shusuke and the others, along with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and his group of Shinigami from the Gotei 13. You see, Kisaragi Shusuke and his group did manage to attack the Gotei 13 Shinigami before, and there has to be some explanation for that, otherwise the Gotei 13's prestige will be completely destroyed.

"Well..."
It's fair to say that both sides suffered some damage.
I lost the spirit of the first Fourth Division Captain, Shishima Chigiri.

I never expected the Captain-Commander's Bankai to be able to melt even such a troublesome spirit body. He truly lives up to his reputation as the strongest Shinigami!

Kisuke Urahara squinted, put his hands in his pockets, and said with a smile.

There was absolutely no sign of sadness in him.

A captain-level combatant can be gone in an instant.

"What about the Gotei 13?"

However, Shiba Isshin was clearly more concerned about the situation in Soul Society.

Upon hearing this, Higashino Shuichi couldn't help but glance at Shiba Isshin again.

This shows that Kisuke Urahara truly didn't care about these things.

Otherwise, even now, after this great battle, and with Soul Society having already begun to forgive Shinji Hirako and his group of Soul Reapers who had become Hollowfied, they still haven't lifted the arrest warrants for Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Gahishi.

If it were anyone else, would they dare to express their concern for Soul Society in front of him?
In a matter of minutes, the butcher's knife in his hand would be at Shiba Isshin's neck.

"The captain of the Fourth Division, Retsu Unohana; the captain of the Twelfth Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi; and the captain of the Thirteenth Division, Jushiro Ukitake."

Kisuke Urahara slowly uttered three names.

Shiba Isshin held his breath and said in a trembling voice,
"They... they're all dead?!"

Kisuke Urahara smiled and shook his head.

"No, it's that apart from them, the other captains were all seriously injured, and even the commander-in-chief was not spared."

However, one of the team leaders was neither lucky nor unlucky.

That was Komamura Sajin, the former captain of the 7th Division.

I heard that during that battle, he used his clan's secret technique, the humanization technique.

Although he successfully avenged his previous defeat and made a great impression on all the captains, he completely turned into a mute big dog after the war.

I don't know whether to consider this a sacrifice.

Zhibo remained silent.

In his mind, this must have been a sacrifice.

After all, Captain Komamura sacrificed his own future, sacrificing his life to protect the last glory of the Gotei 13 of Soul Society.

No matter how badly this captain had performed in some important battles in the past, this time he has lived up to the name of captain.

"Why? Mr. Urahara, why did you go to this point?"
Isn't doing this just creating an opportunity for Aizen?

Higashino Shuichi hesitated slightly in his heart.

The thing Shiba Isshin said after this "why" was a bit off. Normally, Shiba Isshin should have questioned Urahara Kisuke about why he did this.

However, Shiba Isshin did not do that.

Shiba Isshin, who comes from the Shiba family and still cares about Soul Society, surprisingly did not question Urahara Kisuke about this matter.
There is clearly only one possibility.

It was something that Kisuke Urahara had promised Isshin Shiba long ago.

That may not be Urahara Kisuke's true feelings, but it certainly aligns with Urahara Kisuke's logic of action up to this point.

"Could it be what I guessed before, a way for the Shinigami in Soul Society to level up?"

After much thought, Higashino Shuichi concluded that this was probably the only reason he could convince Shiba Isshin and make him willingly watch Urahara Kisuke do these absurd things.

After all, in this timeline, there is no Masaki Kurosaki binding Isshin Shiba.

However, in that case, Higashino Shuichi felt he needed to reconsider Urahara Kisuke's true intentions.

Was he genuinely so kind as to reveal his true intentions to Shiba Isshin, or did he have ulterior motives?
Could this Shiba Isshin be just another pawn in Urahara Kisuke's game?

For ordinary people, this isn't a question that requires much deep thought.

Because the object of his affections is Kisuke Urahara, Shuichi Higashino has to think things through carefully.

Kisuke Urahara's answer to Isshin Shiba was very simple: two words, "No."

Having voluntarily withdrawn from Hueco Mundo, Aizen will not launch any sufficiently threatening attacks against Soul Society in the near future.

Zhibo kept asking why.

Kisuke Urahara simply gazed meaningfully into the distance out the window.

"Because I have already crippled the Soul Society, there are almost no decent Shinigami in the entire Soul Society who are worthy of his attention, so he will not make a move again."

At this moment, everyone in the room fell silent.

Shiba Isshin remained silent because Urahara Kisuke's reason was far too far-fetched. How could a treacherous villain like Aizen, who would stop taking action against Soul Society for such a reason?

The reason for Kurosaki Masaki's silence was that Aizen was so abstract and absurd. How did such an arrogant guy manage to survive until now?
The reason for Higashino Shuichi's silence was that Urahara Kisuke, who had barely met Aizen, actually understood Aizen so well!
If it weren't for his own time travel, Higashino Shuichi would dare say that the person who understands Aizen the most in this world, besides Aizen himself, is none other than Urahara Kisuke.

As far as Aizen was concerned, it was indeed as Urahara Kisuke had said.

He had absolutely no interest in attacking or conquering a Soul Society filled with the old, weak, sick, and disabled.

For Aizen, such a victory would not be a victory, but rather a humiliation!
So from the very beginning, Kisuke Urahara had this idea in mind, which is why he allowed Saito and the immortals to participate in the war.

Force Aizen into Hueco Mundo, then let Saito and the others, who are immortal, continuously wear down the Soul Society's fighting strength, so that Aizen never has the desire to launch a full-scale attack on the Soul Society, until you find a way to deal with Aizen.

Could this be the solution that Kisuke Urahara came up with in this timeline, without Ichigo Kurosaki?

"So they really have completely outmaneuvered Aizen?"

Higashino Shuichi silently said to himself.

But you know what? Aizen actually falls for it.

This was especially true for Aizen, who had become somewhat arrogant after obtaining the complete Hogyoku.

However, Aizen had two more important matters to deal with at this time.

One is to figure out the principle of his own body's evolution. Although the continuous evolution during the battle helped Aizen a lot, it did cause him a lot of trouble after the battle.
The second thing is to give the guy in front of him a complete upgrade.

"So, are you ready, or not?"
