The other party's fame and strength were indeed extraordinary.
Of course, it was nothing to Uehara Shiroha.
He kind of understood why Aizen was so against "genius children."
The other captains were all old-timers, some were slacking off, some were doing private work.
They all seemed to be very busy, not seen all day, but no one knew what they were busy with.
Only Hitsugaya Tōshirō was conscientiously fulfilling his captain's duties, and like Detective Conan, he liked to get to the bottom of things.
And unlike Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, Suì-Fēng, and Kuchiki Byakuya, Tōshirō would not blindly stick to the orders of the Central 46.
It seemed that the young captain was easy to control, but his existence might also lead to unexpected situations.
Although his strength was not enough to become a variable, even if there was a one in a million possibility, Aizen would not take risks.
So, Tōshirō, who was conscientious and responsible, was unlucky.
Sure enough, slacking off was the right way.
And over there, Kurosaki Ichigo almost got into trouble.
He had no clear understanding of Kuchiki Byakuya's Zanpakutō Shikai.
In his current state, he might suffer a loss if caught off guard.
Fortunately, Shihōin Yoruichi arrived in time, interrupted Kuchiki Byakuya's Shikai, and rescued Kurosaki Ichigo.
The operation to rescue Rukia ended in a whimper.
Rukia was locked up in the Senzaikyū again. Shiba Ganju was sent to the Fourth Division for detention, and also received effective treatment. He was tied up like a dumpling.
Because of the deliberate cover-up of Ukitake Jūshirō and Unohana Retsu, Yamada Hanatarō who returned to the division did not receive any punishment.
After watching the show, Uehara Shiroha shook his head and thought to himself:
Ichigo looks exactly like Shiba Kaien.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the reincarnation of Kaien.
However, the current Ichigo was too immature.
It just so happened that his Five Elements Barrier was already thirsty, so he would use this kid!
After arriving at the captain's office, Ukitake Jūshirō began to "catch up on information."
He combined reports from all parties and took a good look at the major and minor events that had occurred in the Soul Society recently.
To be honest, he was shocked.
He didn't expect Tsunayashiro Tokinada to be so crazy.
Ukitake Jūshirō felt very sorry.
He always felt that his old classmate could be saved, but he didn't expect the other party's ending to be like this.
He never thought that the young Commander of the Teigun would be able to gather the power of the Tsunayashiro family and take power.
Ukitake Jūshirō murmured to himself:
"Who would have thought that the young genius of that year would grow up to this level in a blink of an eye. However, the interests of the Tsunayashiro family are just a bait, in order to lock Uehara Shiroha in the noble district. Why did Central 46 do this? It is very unlike Central 46 to be unmoved by the huge interests."
There was no doubt that there was a conspiracy.
But no matter what, Ukitake Jūshirō must rescue his subordinates.
After thinking about it, he went to the captain's office of the 8th Division and found his old friend Kyōraku Shunsui.
At this time, Kyōraku Shunsui was holding a wine jar and drinking wine happily.
When he saw Ukitake Jūshirō, he handed over a wine bowl and said:
"I heard that you caught a Ryoka but sent him to the 4th Division. Ukitake, you are still so kind!"
Back then, Ukitake Jūshirō was the first to notice Tsunayashiro Tokinada's crime.
But this old friend was too kind and wanted to give Tokinada a chance to reform and start a new life, so he did not expose him.
However, Kyōraku Shunsui had seen through Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
He knew that this bastard was hopeless and did not deserve sympathy.
So after knowing his crime, Kyōraku Shunsui reported him without hesitation.
Ukitake Jūshirō refused the wine bowl handed over by Kyōraku Shunsui and said with a smile:
"Didn't you also send a Ryoka to the Fourth Division? This is not in line with your personality. You must have noticed something, right?"
Logically speaking, after Aizen was murdered, Kyōraku couldn't be so gentle to the Ryoka who was a strong suspect.
Even if he didn't execute him directly, he couldn't send him to the Fourth Division for treatment immediately.
This was not the attitude to treat an invader.
The two people with different personalities did the same thing to the Ryoka who disturbed the order of the Soul Society.
In an instant, the two smiled at each other.
"I know what you want to do, and of course I'm on your side," Kyōraku Shunsui looked relaxed.
His attitude towards Aizen Sōsuke was different from that of others.
He believed in Uehara Shiroha's judgment.
So at the beginning, he listed Aizen and Tsunayashiro Tokinada as suspects in this incident.
Now the two guys who were suspected of being the masterminds were dead.
It could only be said that it's like opening champagne!
He even suspected that it might be Uehara Shiroha who finally couldn't stand it anymore and made a move in secret.
Except for this person, no one in the entire Soul Society could do it so cleanly and beautifully. It would be impossible for those few Ryoka to assassinate Aizen silently.
And those Ryoka who came to save people did not kill people, and they always acted with restraint.
Aizen was not the kind of person who was hated, and the Ryoka had no reason to murder him.
Therefore, Kyōraku Shunsui did not make things difficult for that Ryoka.
"I just feel a little sorry for the teacher!" Ukitake Jūshirō smiled bitterly, but he had no intention of giving up.
Kyōraku Shunsui said indifferently: "The old man will understand. Even if he doesn't understand, the worst thing is that we will be punished like before."
As he said this, he poured a little wine into the wine bowl and handed it back to his old friend.
This time, Ukitake Jūshirō did not refuse, took the wine bowl and drank it all.
...
At this time, Uehara Shiroha, who was enjoying watching the events unfold, slowly left the Tsunayashiro family mansion.
He looked back at this luxurious and huge mansion.
It was time to close the Hueco Mundo Teigun base and recall those technical personnel.
In this way, the technical data and various precious materials of the Tsunayashiro family could be digested as quickly as possible.
Moreover, he was not going to take the blame for Hueco Mundo and the Gotei 13.
Hueco Mundo would be in trouble in the future, so it was better to evacuate the personnel as soon as possible.
When the Thousand-Year Blood War was over, Hueco Mundo and the Soul Society would be under his control.
While rushing to the secret base under Sōkyoku Hill, Uehara Shiroha issued an evacuation order using the communication Jigokuchō.
Compared with the noisy Gotei 13 and other aristocratic forces, the Teigun was peaceful, as if it was an isolated island separated from the world.
Under the protection of Uehara Shiroha, whether it was the Ryoka invasion storm set off by Kurosaki Ichigo or the conspiracy of others, it had no effect on the Teigun.
Moreover, the Teigun had taken over the power of the Tsunayashiro family.
One of the four noble families who was once high above, now could only crawl at the feet of Commander Uehara.
As a result, the morale of the Teigun soldiers was high, and everyone was willing to die for Uehara Shiroha.
Once Uehara Shiroha's order was issued, the Teigun worked as one and operated quickly and efficiently.
It was expected that the personnel and materials would be evacuated by tomorrow.
Uehara Shiroha was very satisfied with this.
As his subordinate, you must be obedient.
But in addition to being obedient, your ability must also keep up.
Only in this way could he be relieved and have plenty of time to slack off.
However, as the plot progressed to this point, he had to move around.
In order to better trigger special mission and exploit the "child laborer" Kurosaki Ichigo later, Uehara Shiroha decided to lay out a plan.
At this moment, in the secret base of Sōkyoku Hill, Shihōin Yoruichi had already explained the Zanpakutō's Bankai to Kurosaki Ichigo:
"Although your Zangetsu is a very rare permanent Shikai-type Zanpakutō, it is not enough. With Shikai alone, you will never be able to defeat Kuchiki Byakuya. Therefore, you must master Bankai. The method I offer is very dangerous, and you only have three days. Do you still want to continue?"
"Come on!" Kurosaki Ichigo was not afraid of any challenge and was full of fighting spirit.
Just as Shihōin Yoruichi took out a white humanoid equipment, a clear voice came:
"The Tenshintai is indeed a good, but it is not enough."
In the past, Urahara Kisuke felt that practicing Bankai was too boring.
In order to escape the boring Bankai practice, he developed this Tenshintai that could quickly achieve Bankai.
This was just like developing a time machine to catch sheep. The brain circuits of scientists were really incomprehensible.
However, it is said that Bankai could be achieved quickly.
However, the only person who really learned Bankai through the Tenshintai was Urahara Kisuke.
Moreover, this process would place a great burden on the user's soul.
Therefore, the use time could not exceed three days.
Therefore, this Tenshintai was actually an experimental product.
"Why are you here?"
When she saw Uehara Shiroha, a hint of joy flashed in Shihōin Yoruichi's purple eyes, and her originally solemn expression became relaxed.
At this moment, she was surrounded by enemies, which was equivalent to being an enemy of the entire Soul Society.
In such a situation, she would of course be nervous.
But after meeting Uehara Shiroha, her mood became relaxed, and she also put her heart at ease.
"Let me see your secret weapon!" Uehara Shiroha looked at Kurosaki Ichigo, who didn't look like a 15-year-old, with great interest:
"Come to think of it, this is the first time we have officially met, Kurosaki Ichigo-kun. I am Uehara Shiroha, the Commander of the Teigun!"
"Mr. Uehara, hello, I'm Ichigo Kurosaki!" The honest boy Ichigo Kurosaki greeted politely, and then looked at Shihōin Yoruichi with a puzzled look.
He didn't know the relationship between the two, nor did he know what position the Commander of the Teigun was, and who was stronger between them and the captain of the Shinigami.
However, when it came to the surname "Uehara", he seemed to have some impression.
Shihōin Yoruichi said casually: "This guy is my boyfriend. What do you think, handsome, right?"
After that, she took the arm of Uehara Shiroha generously, and then leaned on the other's shoulder in a bird-like posture.
Uehara Shiroha also took the opportunity to hug the other's slender and soft waist.
The two looked like a couple in love.
Poor Ichigo Kurosaki suffered 10,000 points of critical hits.
However, he thought of something and hurriedly said: "Mr. Uehara, are my friends okay?"
"Don't worry, they are all fine." Uehara Shiroha shrugged: "But I will remain neutral and will not directly interfere in your war."
"I knew it was like this." Shihōin Yoruichi curled her lips, stood up straight and said helplessly:
"This is the situation. So, we still have to rely on ourselves, you must complete the Bankai. This item is called the Tenshintai, and it is a treasure unique to the Onmitsukidō. Using the Tenshintai, you can visualize your Zanpakutō, and after defeating it, you can complete your Bankai."
This was of course a tricky way.
After all, normally, even a Shinigami genius would need ten years to initially complete his Bankai.
However, this was not a normal situation.
Not to mention ten years, they didn't even have a month, and Rukia would be executed in a few days.
But, Ichigo Kurosaki was not an ordinary person.
"Your Tenshintai is very advanced, but it is not safe, after all, it is an experiment."
Uehara Shiroha didn't want to watch Ichigo Kurosaki and Zangetsu fighting for three days, it was too boring.
The key was that he didn't get any benefit.
He came here not to help others, but to find a qualified tool.
His attitude towards these plot characters was very clear.
He didn't mind helping if there were benefits.
After all, some plot characters had good character and so on, and he appreciated them.
But if there was no wool to be taken, that was "respect the fate of others."
Even if it was once the protagonist, it's no exception.
"How do you know so much about the Tenshintai?" Shihōin Yoruichi asked in confusion, "Do you have a better way than the Tenshintai?"
In fact, she was not sure if there was any problem with the Tenshintai.
After all, this was a technology for the soul, and it was not mature.
If Urahara Kisuke had not repeatedly assured that Ichigo Kurosaki was not an ordinary person and there was absolutely no problem, she would not dare to take out this thing.
But even so, Shihōin Yoruichi had never heard of a better technology than the Tenshintai.
Uehara Shiroha said confidently:
"There must be. Your teaching method is too backward and too gentle. What if the child does not study well and cannot learn Bankai? He probably deserves a beating. When it comes to teaching, you have to look at a great teacher named Kaido!"
After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, he released his spiritual pressure and differentiated into five powerful forces that gathered around Ichigo Kurosaki.
In an instant, he activated many trump cards such as the Unlimited Blade Works and the Mind Gem, and even used the Seven Flash Barrier that was promoted to the perfect level.
The Five Elements Barrier was something carefully developed by Uehara Shiroha, which could be said to be a collection of the essence of all his abilities.
Ordinary people were not qualified to let him use such a trick.
Only the protagonist had such treatment!
Ichigo Kurosaki must be very moved!
"Boom boom boom!" With five explosions, five energy beams shot up into the sky.
The powerful spiritual pressure and impact shook the base.
The entire Sōkyoku Hill was trembling slightly.
With such a big movement, if it weren't for the powerful defensive barrier and the cover of the Sekkiseki stone, the base would have been exposed.
Looking at the five energy beams in front of them, Shihōin Yoruichi and Kurosaki Ichigo were stunned and shocked.
What kind of move is this? It's so cool!
And so strong!
The five beams of light surrounded Kurosaki Ichigo in a five-part circular formation, forming a powerful barrier like the Sekkiseki stone.
Each of the energy beams had a unique structure and strange brilliance.
Some were silvery and flowing; some were golden and sharp; some were blazing, burning everything; some were densely covered with vines, full of vitality; some had human faces, hiding mysteries.
