Chapter 116 Aizen's Information
When the Quincy first launched their attack on the Soul Society, everyone prayed that Ichigo Kurosaki, their savior, would come.
This is enough to show their attitude towards Ichigo Kurosaki.
Therefore, Hitsugaya's words "benefactor" to Kurosaki Ichigo were truly heartfelt.
"So, I'd like to ask Captain Jiguo for a favor."
Hitsugaya said in a deep voice, "As you know, I'm going to investigate the disappearance of souls next. I have a feeling that this will be a very dangerous operation."
"Therefore, I hope to temporarily entrust the wanderer to the Third Division."
"Once I've resolved the case of the missing souls, I'll bring Yuuki to the Tenth Division."
"This—" Yoriichi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, since you have something to do, then place Yuuki in the Third Division. It's pitiful that she lost her brother at such a young age."
"Thank you so much." Saito bowed deeply to Yoriichi.
"There's no need for that. Even without your request, I wouldn't let a little girl end up on the streets."
Yoriichi shook his head and said, "You need to be careful when investigating the disappearing souls."
"Yes, this matter is definitely unusual. I suspect someone is carrying out some kind of evil plan." Saito said, "Time is of the essence, so I'll leave Yuuki in your care. I'll go back and investigate first."
"it is good."
After parting ways with Yoriichi, Saito immediately focused all his attention on the case of the disappearing souls.
Having learned from Aizen's example, Saito immediately set his sights on the members of the Gotei 13.
Speaking of which, among the original captains of the Gotei 13, only Yoriichi Tsugikuni of the Third Division and Tsukihito Shiba of the Fifth Division were complete strangers to her in the past.
Saito has one major advantage over others: she knows history.
Even though the specific details have changed, everyone remains the same.
Although many of the original captains of the Gotei 13 have changed, the others who have replaced them are also famous figures in history.
For example, Kirinji Tenjiro, Kuchiki Ginrei, and Shutara Senjumaru —
These are all famous figures in the Soul Society.
Therefore, these people, like the first captain, have all stood the test.
If we investigate the problem from within, then only Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Gekihachi Shiba, who are historically unknown, are the most likely to have issues.
Yoriichi can also be ruled out, since with his strength there's no need for him to act in secret, and if he were such a villain, he wouldn't have appeared in the Soul Society to fight that mysterious woman in the first place.
Therefore, the only suspect is Shiba Tsukito.
The others can be easily eliminated, but that doesn't mean they are necessarily the last one left.
After all, it's only a possibility that it was sabotaged from within.
However, Saito felt that if an investigation were to be conducted, it would be most reasonable to start with Shiba Tsukiyuu.
However, we must also consider Shiba Tsukito's identity. After all, he is the captain of the Fifth Division and the head of the Shiba clan!
His identity isn't something just anyone can investigate.
Therefore, Saito had to act in secret.
She sent her vice-captain to Rukongai to investigate the whereabouts of the missing people, while she separated from them and did not tell them where she went.
A month passed quickly.
During this month, many more souls still disappeared, but Saito failed to grasp the problem of Shiba Tsukiyuu. Just when she thought she might be thinking in the wrong direction, someone came to find her.
When she returned to the 10th Division barracks, the guards told her that Kuchiki Hibiki from the 6th Division had arrived.
Is the sound of rotten wood echoing in the river?
Saito recalled the image of this son-in-law in his mind.
What is he here for?
Although I'm busy with tasks, I'm not so busy that I don't even have time to meet with anyone.
So she went to the living room and met Kuchiki Hibiki, who had been waiting for her.
"Captain Saito, you're back."
Aizen stood up when he saw Saito return.
He had already integrated the memories of Kuchiki Echo River the moment he arrived in this era.
Unlike Saito, who was full of flaws and not good at performing, Aizen's portrayal of Kuchiki Kyoga was perfect.
However, Saito's change can be explained by the influence of the Blood Moon Disaster, so there's nothing wrong with it.
"Third Seat Kuchiki, what brings you here?" Saito asked bluntly. "Well, Captain Saito, aren't you investigating the disappearance of souls? I've just made some discoveries."
"Oh?!" Saito was taken aback, then asked eagerly, "What did you discover?"
"this----"
At this point, Aizen looked somewhat troubled again.
Upon seeing this, Saito's heart sank, and he said, "Is there something you can't explain?"
Aizen adopted a resolute expression, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "It's like this, yesterday I was on a mission in the 36th district of the East Rukongai, where I saw a man wearing a Shinigami uniform."
"It was that man who caused the soul to disappear; I saw it with my own eyes as the soul gradually lost its form before him."
"Who is that?!" Saito asked immediately. "This—I don't know either." Aizen shook his head and said, "I tried to catch him as soon as I spotted him, but he seemed to sense my presence and ran away before I could catch him!"
"He had his back to me the whole time, so I couldn't see his face clearly, but I'm certain he was wearing a Shinigami uniform and carrying a Zanpakuto!"
So the problem really does lie within the Gotei 13?
Saito, who had been secretly monitoring the situation for a month and was almost ready to give up, was convinced of the "traitor" theory upon hearing this.
However, she could confirm that Shiba Tsukito was basically either at the Shiba residence or at the Fifth Division barracks during that month, and did not go to Rukongai.
Could it be that he's not the captain?
By the way, when Aizen was plotting this, he wasn't a captain yet, but a vice-captain.
In other words, besides the captain, the vice-captain will also be monitored?
But we're short-staffed right now.
After thinking for a moment, Saito snapped out of his thoughts and said to Aizen, "The information you provided is very useful, but don't let too many people know about it. I will report this to the Captain-Commander later, so please don't mention it to anyone else."
"
"I understand." Aizen nodded, then turned to leave. "Then I'll take my leave."
"Um."
After leaving the 10th Division, Aizen's lips curled into a slight smile.
This era—
That's really interesting.
Although the illusion of a mirage is gone, this Muramasa is still a fine sword.
After all, no one would doubt their own Zanpakuto.
When Saito transmigrated, due to the fusion of souls and a sense of identification, her Zanpakuto abilities changed. Not to mention the original Hyōrinmaru, she couldn't even use her own Zanpakuto.
But Indigo is different!
Even after he came to this world, he was still able to use Muramasa's abilities!
