Death: Captain Millennium

After receiving a summons from the Shinigami stationed in Hueco Mundo, Hiyori returned to Soul Society without permission, feeling incredibly heavy-hearted. When she finally met Lin Yu, her first move was to defend Urahara Kisuke.

"Captain, although Kisuke's temperament is very unpleasant, I don't believe that he would harm Kensei and the others. We are all friends! There must be some misunderstanding. Captain, you also know Urahara's character. Such a heinous thing is not something a coward like him would do..."

Lin Yu frowned as he looked at Hiyori's excited expression.

"That's enough," he interrupted Hiyori, a hint of authority in his voice.

Hiyori was stunned, her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and continued, "It is an established fact that Urahara Kisuke, the captain of the 12th Division, murdered several captains in order to study the power of Hollows. Aizen Sosuke, the vice-captain of the 5th Division, revealed this to the 46th Division and provided concrete evidence. At the same time, the surviving 5th seat of the 9th Division, Tosen Kaname, personally stated that he heard the conversation between Kensei and the others and Urahara. All this evidence is sufficient to prove Urahara Kisuke's crime."

Hiyori listened to Lin Yu's explanation with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Just based on what that blind man and Aizen said?" Her voice was full of doubt.

Lin Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Hiyori, as a captain, I must judge based on facts. The evidence in this matter is irrefutable and undeniable. If Urahara Kisuke really didn't commit these crimes, then he should stand up and clarify everything. But now, he has escaped from Soul Society with Shifengyuan Yoruichi and Hirako and others. I can't believe in his innocence."

Lin Yu continued, "Hiyori, it's not nice to casually slander the two vice-captains. What's more, Vice-Captain Aizen is a well-known good man in Soul Society!"

Hiyori's eyes grew dull, and she lowered her head, no longer speaking. She realized that no matter how she argued, she couldn't change this reality.

Hiyori wanted to argue a little further, "Can the death sentences of Baldy and the others be vacated? After all, they are all victims."

Lin Yu sighed softly. He knew Hiyori had deep feelings for Urahara Kisuke and the others, but he couldn't let his personal feelings affect the overall situation. "Hiyori, the Forty-Six Chambers will not tolerate the existence of a powerful Shinigami with a Hollow within them. This cannot be changed."

He turned and walked away, leaving Hiyori alone in her thoughts.

Before Lin Yu's back disappeared, Hiyori still shouted out, "Captain, I still don't believe Kisuke would do such a thing."

Lin Yu paused and said, "Wait until you find a clue about him and then ask him in person."

The Gotei 13 is full of talented people, and the captain's vacancy was quickly filled. Sosuke Aizen and Gin Ichimaru from the 5th Division, and Kaname Tōsen from the 9th Division successively applied for the captain's assessment.

Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname weren't anything to be feared, but as for the assessment of Aizen, Lin Yu still had his mind on it. He knew that Aizen was a dangerous person and he had to be careful in dealing with him.

"The captain's assessment must be witnessed by the captain-in-chief. If Aizen applies for the assessment, he will have to release his Zanpakutō. Once he releases his Zanpakutō, the captain-in-chief will be affected by the mirror flower and water moon. This is really a difficult problem. I have to discuss it with the captain-in-chief." Lin Yu muttered to himself. He decided to personally go to the captain-in-chief, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, to discuss the matter.

Lin Yu came to the captain's office door and knocked. The captain's voice came from inside: "Come in!" He pushed the door open and walked in. After saluting the captain, he sat on the chair opposite.

"Lin Yu, what do you want to talk to me about?" asked the captain.

"Regarding Aizen's application for the captain's assessment, how to prevent you, the captain, from being influenced by the mirage? This is a difficult problem!"

The captain frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean, but we can't reject Aizen's assessment request because of this issue. Doing so will not only cause dissatisfaction among other team members, but it is also against the rules."

Lin Yu nodded, agreeing with the captain's opinion. "I remember there were three ways to become captain. The first was to pass a test under your witness, Captain. The second was to be recommended by six captains and gain the approval of four of the remaining seven. The third, as per the 11th Division tradition, was to overthrow the previous captain."

When the captain heard Lin Yu's words, he frowned slightly and said, "It's not that the method you mentioned is not possible to consider, but the problem is that the captain positions of the second, third, fifth, and ninth squads are all vacant. Although the number of recommended people is enough, it is still not enough to gain the approval of the remaining captains."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu suddenly thought of a compromise, so he said to the captain: "Captain, how about this? We can let Ichimaru Gin and Tōsen Kaname take the captain's exam first and have them pass it successfully. Then, we can add myself, Captain Kuchiki, Tōsen Kaname who was promoted to captain, and Ichimaru Ginto as witnesses to form a four-person team. As for the final recommender, Captain Ukitake can be the one to call for it. He is an old man of the Gotei 13, and he has a good relationship with Aizen, so he shouldn't arouse their suspicion. In this way, we can get the full number of people."

The captain listened to Lin Yu's suggestion and nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea, let's do it. However, we still need to proceed with caution and make sure everything goes according to plan."

Lin Yu smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Captain, I will handle it carefully. After all, we can't let Aizen discover our intentions, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

The next day, Lin Yu went to visit Ukitake, and the captain was informed of the Kuchiki family. Xianghe was still the captain of the special forces in the first team, so it was convenient for him to do it.

After finalizing all the plans, Tosen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin accepted the captain-general's test and were promoted to captain. At first, Aizen was not among the examiners, and he even went to find the captain-general for this.

The captain gave a very reasonable explanation, "I'm sorry, Aizen, but before you applied for the captain's assessment, Captain Ukitake of the 13th Division had already recommended you for promotion to captain, so your promotion will have to be done in a different way."

Aizen had doubted the captain's explanation, but he believed his plan was flawless and no one knew the true power of his Zanpakutō. This incident could be a coincidence, and if Ukitake was the recommender, it would be easy to explain.

The next day, Aizen's promotion went on as planned. Due to the tampering of the drawing of lots, the witnesses were changed to Lin Yu and others as planned.

Lin Yu looked at Aizen's gentle and elegant appearance and said, "Tsk tsk, the description of him as a beast in human clothing is more accurate than ever. Who would have known that a good guy known in the Gotei 13 would be such a villain."

Aizen confidently drew his Zanpakutō, "Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu!"

With his liberation, his spiritual pressure also reached the second level. Not bad, he is quite good at pretending.

"Four captains, this is my liberation. Kyoka Suigetsu is a water-type Zanpakuto. It can disrupt the enemy and make them kill each other through the random reflections of fog and water." Aizen started his performance again.
