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

Chapter 58. The Beginning of the Hollowfication (Please continue reading)
It's late at night and people are quiet.

The outcome of the battle with Unohana Retsu will not change much. Higashino Shuichi's spiritual pressure limit has only doubled. The base is too low, and this doubling is still completely insignificant in front of Unohana Retsu.

However, for Retsu Unohana, the process of this battle finally brought her a slight sense of pleasure.

Q: If you had an opponent who was impossible to kill no matter how you attacked him, what would you do?
(Retsu Unohana) replied: Then let's kill him!
It wasn't until Higashino Shuichi felt the fragments of the Spirit King's fingernails that he had just fused into his body were already sending red warning signals that he could finally persuade Unohana Retsu, who was already getting a little carried away, to stop.

"This ability is pretty good~"

Standing before the exhausted Shuichi Higashino, Retsu Unohana gave him a positive evaluation of his new ability.

After all, it made her break a sweat (purely from the effort of chopping).

Turns out, one-sidedly crushing noobs can be quite fun.

But at that moment, Higashino Shuichi had only one thought in his mind.
"I'm tired, just destroy him already! What kind of person is this, almost cutting his infinite regeneration ability into a finite one?"

"If you disappear like this again next time, I hope you can improve as much as you did this time, otherwise..."

At that moment, Higashino felt that Unohana Retsu was a smiling devil.

Otherwise what?

Do you dare to explain yourself clearly?

Forget it, even with his eyes closed, Higashino Shuichi could figure out what would happen next.

Is the Soul King Fragment something he can just get whenever he wants?
If he were in the mortal world, things might be a little better; he could just spend some time finding those Fullbringers. But he's in the Soul Society now; where is he going to find so many Soul King fragments to improve his strength?

He's too scared to play the disappearing game anymore; now Higashino Shuichi is really a bit of a coward.

"Could it be that Retsu Unohana is starting to get interested in me?"

Higashino Shuichi shuddered.

Pah, pah!
This idea is absolutely forbidden; it's even more terrifying than being suspected by Retsu Unohana.

Higashino Shuichi quickly stopped his wild thoughts.

The next morning, without closing his eyes for a moment, Higashino Shuichi arrived at the First Division barracks.

Some time ago, in order to lull the Kasumioji family into a false sense of security, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni approved Higashino Shuichi's mission to conduct an investigation in the northern Rukongai district, specifically the Zaraki district, as instructed by Kumoi Yokaku.

At this moment, Higashino Shuichi needed to report to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni before he could enter the Kasumi clan manor, which was under close surveillance.

"How do you plan to tell them?"

However, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had no intention of listening to Higashino Shuichi's report, which contained nothing of substance.

He was fully aware of the situation regarding Kenpachi Zaraki and the Zaraki Ward.

Therefore, he knew that it was impossible for Higashino Shuichi to find anything in the Zaraki Ward.

"I plan to tell them that I discovered a terrifying power in the Zaraki Ward, and it is because of this power that Captain Zaraki possesses his current terrifying strength!"

Higashino Shuichi delivered the speech he had prepared long ago.

Higashino Shuichi decided to keep his statements to a minimum, both with Yamamoto and with the Kasumi family, after careful consideration.

He wasn't sure if his plan would slip up after it was implemented, and if both sides gave the same account, he could at least guarantee his safety.

Moreover, this is because of Higashino Shuichi's current status, which makes him unqualified to know about the existence of the Spirit King. Otherwise, Higashino Shuichi would not have been so roundabout as to directly point out that this mysterious power is the heart of the Spirit King.

"You want to lure them out? That's a good idea."

As a cunning old fox who had lived for over a thousand years, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni naturally guessed Higashino Shuichi's plan immediately. After careful consideration, he didn't see much of a problem with it.

Given the cautious nature of the Kasumi family, it would be quite difficult to lure them out so easily.

However, this is more than enough as a casual move.

"Also, Captain, I'd like to ask if Captain Yizhou has finished his research on the Baku Yao Blade? I'd like to request the return of the Baku Yao Blade so that if the Kasumi family becomes suspicious of me, I can hand it over to dispel their doubts!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Higashino Shuichi made his own request.

To be honest, this was one of the few things that was unexpected.

Higashino Shuichi guessed that Yamamoto would definitely want to test the danger level of the Baku Yao Dao, estimating that it would only take a few days to determine the extent of the danger.

However, Higashino Shuichi did not anticipate that Kiryu Hikifune, the captain of the 12th Division, also developed a strong interest in the Raihou sword. After "borrowing" the sword from Yamamoto, he showed no sign of returning it.

But Lei Huo can't afford to be careless. If he manages to figure it out, the knife will most likely never be returned to him.

Fortunately, Yamamoto didn't care about the effects of the lightning and fire. It was just a mere Baku sword. If the Kasumi clan really had problems, they certainly wouldn't be short of this one.

As for research, the information available at this stage is sufficient.

Therefore, Yamamoto agreed to Higashino Shuichi's request without much hesitation.

As for Kiryuu, fortunately, the Mo Yao Blade has very high requirements for user compatibility, and Kiryuu couldn't find a suitable test subject to unleash the core power of Thunderfire in a short period of time.

Therefore, Kiryuki didn't think there was much of a problem with Yamamoto's arrangement and readily returned Raiho to Higashino Shuichi.

After Higashino Hideichi had carefully hidden the Baku Yao Dao Lei Huo, he rushed to the Kasumiji clan manor without stopping.

There, two people were already "starving for food".

He gave a similar speech to that he had given to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, after Higashino Shuichi invited Kasumio Masahiro to visit the Great Spirit Book Corridor and after he demonstrated his newfound power to them.

Faced with irrefutable facts, even someone as cautious as Yun Jingyao had to admit that he was tempted.

Simply by placing that heart against his own heart, he could gain several times his original spiritual pressure limit out of thin air.

At the same time, the rampant and unrestrained power of the void perfectly satisfied the need for the Mo Yao Blade to devour it.

This directly solves the most difficult problem in using the Tapir Blade: where do ordinary Grim Reapers get so much spiritual power to continuously feed the Tapir Blade?

As for why Higashino Shuichi didn't use Hollowfication, he simply used his own captain-level strength, which might be a special case, and gave a vague answer.

After all, this is not the key point. Faced with the tangible results, neither Kasumi Masashi nor Kumoi Yosuke will pursue this explanation that cannot be disproven.

May God bless my Xia Dalu family!

On this day, Kasumi Masahiro was in high spirits.

"God help me too!"

On the same day, Yun Jingyao was filled with pride and satisfaction.

"It's time for a change in the heavens of Soul Society!"

Months after being overwhelmed by the 46 Chambers and the Gotei 13 led by Yamamoto, Kasumi Ōji Mayu and Kumoi Yosuke simultaneously uttered this cry in their hearts.

Unfortunately, Shuichi Higashino wasn't there; he was busy outside secretly capturing Shinigami for the Kasumioji family.

And to set up the new Bankai ability of his newly unlocked Zanpakuto.
"During the new book period, I hope everyone will continue to read it. Shuichi, along with his boss Aizen, captain Retsu Unohana, colleague Kaname Tosen, and his little fan Soi Fon, thank you all!"

By the way, after watching a lot, I feel like no one guessed the type of the protagonist's Bankai ability correctly. I thought it should be quite easy to guess.
