Death: Captain Millennium

Room 46

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stared at Aizen standing at the head, but didn't overreact. "Sages, why did you summon me?"

"Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni! The Forty-Sixth Chamber has decided to execute the criminal Rukia Kuchiki tomorrow. You must make the arrangements immediately."

"So urgent?"

"Are you questioning our decision?"

"I understand!" After saying that, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni turned around and walked out of Room 46, ignoring the curses of the sages. This was his normal reaction.

After Genryūsai left, Aizen's body trembled slightly. After years of planning, it was finally coming true. As long as he could get the Hougyoku that Urahara Kisuke had hidden in Rukia's body, he could evolve to a higher level. All of this was for the pursuit of a higher realm.

"The Forty-Sixth Chamber has decided to execute Rukia Kuchiki tomorrow."

Returning to the meeting room, Genryūsai first announced the resolution of the Forty-Sixth Chamber. He then turned his gaze to Ichimaru Gin and Toushirou, "Your actions have seriously violated the rules of the Seireitei and must be punished. However, given that the Seireitei is currently under martial law, I have decided to withhold your punishment for now. I hope you will learn from this and avoid making the same mistake again."

Ichimaru Gin smiled slightly, bowed to Genryusai, and said softly: "Thank you for your tolerance, Captain. I will definitely remember it in my heart and will not let you down."

Dong Shilang sensed something was wrong. Why would the Forty-Sixth Chamber carry out Rukia's death sentence early just because of the invasion of the Traveling Beast? This was too much of a stretch.

"Captain Hitsugaya? What are you thinking about?" Komamura Daigou noticed that Toushirou was distracted and quickly stabbed him.

"Thank you for your tolerance, Captain!" Dong Shilang came back to his senses and hurriedly walked out of the meeting room after thanking him. He had a guess in his heart at this moment and urgently needed to go and confirm it.

"Dismissed!" Seeing Toushirou walk off on his own, the captain, though somewhat displeased, didn't show it. "Unohana, please stay a moment!"

Unohana, who was about to leave the meeting room, paused. "Captain, do you have any instructions?"

"Come with me to the tea room. I have something to discuss with you alone."

The captains of Soul Society had just finished their meeting, while Shiba Ganju and Yamada Hanatarō had already sneaked into the Palace of Confessions and found Rukia.

Shiba Ganju recognized at a glance that Rukia was the subordinate of Brother Haiyan, and he became even more motivated.

You have to know that Shiba Kaiyan did not die passively at the hands of Rukia this time, so Ganju was determined to rescue this subordinate who Kaiyan cared about very much, even at the risk of his life.

"You mean you and Ichigo came to save me? Then where did he go?" When Rukia learned that Ichigo Kurosaki and Orihime Inoue broke into Soul Society to save her, her inner excitement was beyond words.

"Ichigo met Captain Zaraki on the road. He blocked Kenpachi alone, and we took the opportunity to escape. We don't know what happened to him now?" Hanatarō told Rukia what happened.

"What? He faced Captain Zaraki?" Rukia felt that Ichigo was definitely in danger. Kenpachi Zaraki was a very powerful captain, how could he hold on.

"So what about Ishida Uryu, Orihime, and Chad?"

"We got separated when we broke into the Soul Society. I don't know what happened to them." In contrast to Hanatarō's bewilderment, Ganju quickly recounted their experiences. "Rukia, come with us now. We need to do this while no one sees us. If someone shows up later, it will be troublesome."

Rukia and her group had just successfully escaped from the Palace of Confessions, but just when they thought they had gotten out of trouble, they suddenly ran into Byakuya Kuchiki who was walking towards them.

At the meeting just now, Byakuya learned that Rukia's death sentence had been carried out ahead of schedule. He had originally planned to come to the Palace of Confessions to say his final goodbyes to Rukia, but he didn't expect to meet the three escaped people here.

"Brother-in-law!" Rukia saw the man in front of her and couldn't help but feel helpless. It seemed that God didn't want her to escape easily. Why did she meet Byakuya Kuchiki at this critical moment?

Kuchiki Byakuya stared at Rukia quietly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. Then, he slowly spoke. "Rukia, are you trying to escape from prison?"

"Are you Byakuya Kuchiki? Rukia is your wife's most beloved sister. Is this how you act as a brother-in-law? Do you have to kill Rukia?" Ganju couldn't understand. Why would someone from the Kuchiki family be sentenced to death for just making a minor mistake?

"and who are you?"

"I am Shiba Ganju of the Shiba family."

"So you're from the Shiba family. How did you get involved? Prisoner kidnapping is a serious crime. If you leave now, I won't expose you."

"Leaving? Impossible. I promised my cousin Ichigo that I would help him rescue Rukia."

"Who?!"

"Shiba Ichigo!"

"You said Kurosaki Ichigo is your cousin?"

Byakuya was confused. If Kurosaki (Shiba) Ichigo was Shiba Ganju's cousin, wouldn't that mean Ichigo was Shiba Isshin's son? Then why would his last name be Kurosaki?

If he had known that he was Isshin's son, he would not have killed him in the living world. Fortunately, Ichigo was not killed. Moreover, the matter would not have escalated to this point. If they were all nobles, the so-called private granting of the power of the Shinigami to ordinary people would not be true.

Byakuya suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake, but it was too late to undo it. He was filled with regret and self-blame, but regret was no use at this moment.

"Rukia, the Forty-Sixth Chamber has moved your sentence forward to tomorrow. Now that the truth is out, I will immediately go to the Forty-Sixth Chamber to appeal and will protect you no matter what." Byakuya said anxiously, trying to make up for his mistake.

"How could this happen? The time has been advanced? What on earth are those old guys in Room 46 planning?" Yan Jiu had no good feelings towards that group of people, and his tone revealed dissatisfaction.

"Rukia, you must return to the Palace of Confessions immediately. Escaping from prison is a serious crime. I will rush to Room 46 immediately to plead for you and will definitely rescue you." Byakuya said firmly.

Then, he turned to the others, "As for you two... Hanatarō, take Ganju to the Fourth Division and surrender. Wait for news from me."

"Rukia?" Ganju looked at her, asking for her opinion whether he could trust Byakuya Kuchiki.

Rukia was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Ganju, Hanatarō, I believe what my brother-in-law said. You go to the Fourth Division, and I will wait for news at the Palace of Confessions."

Byakuya turned and left in a hurry. He had to get to Room 46 as soon as possible to fight for Rukia's chance of survival.

Rukia walked quietly towards the Palace of Confession alone.

Hanatarō then took Ganju to the Fourth Division.

"Do you think Byakuya Kuchiki can really save Rukia?" Ganju kept complaining along the way. He didn't have much trust in Byakuya.

"I... I don't know, but I believe Captain Kuchiki will do his best." Hanatarō didn't dare to talk to Captain Cricket behind his back, so he just said something ambiguously.
