Chapter 214 212. Changes in Relationships

Higashino Hideichi fled, and with him disappeared the members of the Sword Hunters, including Kisaragi Hideusuke, Matsumoto Rangiku, and Nagasawa Satomi.

When the captain of the 5th Division, Aizen Sosuke, dragged his seriously injured body to the captains of the Gotei 13 Division, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni realized that something was wrong.

But it was too late.

The captain of the 2nd Division, Soi-Fong, couldn't understand why Higashino Hideichi still ran away when he had vowed to her and the current head of the Shihouin family, Shihouin Yushiro Sakimune, that he was not the real culprit behind the incident.

Wouldn't this completely confirm his guilt?

Especially now, Higashino Hideichi almost destroyed the entire Maggot Nest and severely injured the captain of the 5th Division, Aizen Sosuke. Even if it was finally found out that Higashino Hideichi was not the real culprit of the Zanpakutō materialization incident, he would probably face considerable accusations.

However, these are not issues that she should worry about. The burden on Soi-Fong now is to eliminate the traces left by Higashino Hideichi and his Sword Hunters in Soul Society.

The best case scenario is to let the Sword Hunters disappear in the long river of history and become a secret that should not be told to outsiders.

As for hunting down Higashino Hideichi.

The relevant orders were issued, but almost all the Shinigami had a consensus, that is, forget it.

What kind of a tough guy is Higashino Hideichi?

If one or two ordinary captains go, it is probably just to send him food. All the powerful captains are not interested in hunting down Higashino Hideichi.

Unless Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is willing to do it himself, but this is impossible.

Not to mention, the Tsunayashiro family is in the middle, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are biased towards Higashino Shuichi. Even when the captains came to their senses, they could vaguely feel that Tsunayashiro Kamiyahara's use of the topic that night was probably to cover up Higashino Shuichi's escape.

Then Higashino Shuichi must have had private contact with Tsunayashiro Kamiyahara, which means that the official pursuit of Higashino Shuichi in the Soul Society will inevitably be subject to very large restrictions.

At least if you want to hide from Higashino Shuichi and the Tsunayashiro family's spies at the same time, this matter itself is very difficult.

Therefore, in summary, although the defection of Higashino Shuichi and the sword hunters of the Shinigami this time is not much worse than the defection of Urahara Kisuke and others in the past, the Soul Society's final handling attitude this time is much more restrained.

Even many ordinary Shinigami don't know that Higashino Shuichi and others have defected.

The fact that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni would choose this approach was actually within Higashino Hideichi's expectations.

But the basis for Higashino Hideichi's judgment was Tsunayashiro Kambara's determination.

Higashino Hideichi was certain that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, in his old age, would not forcefully confront Tsunayashiro Kambara on such an issue that did not involve principles.

After all, looking at the entire incident, whether it was the spontaneous behavior of Kuchiki Hibiki at the beginning or the situation that Higashino Hideichi intentionally controlled later, they tried their best to avoid the casualties of innocent people.

This made Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni lose a very important reason to convince himself.

Because it was just this level of trouble, for a Shinigami like Higashino Hideichi who was already "notorious", it was not too much.

So most of the Shinigami in the Soul Society might not have thought that the Gate of the World was indeed used that night, and Matsumoto Rangiku did leave traces of stealing the Gate of the World of the World, but Higashino Hideichi and his party did not actually leave the Soul Society.

Instead, he randomly picked one of the special device placement sites that Tsunayashiro Kanhara had prepared for him and temporarily settled down there.

These places are ostensibly owned by the Tsunayashiro family, so usually no nobles or Shinigami other than the Tsunayashiro family would enter.

Higashino Hideichi and his team only needed to get rid of the Shinigami raised by the Tsunayashiro family who were responsible for guarding this place.

For Higashino Hideichi and his team, this was not difficult to do.

"Is there anything unusual recently?"

"My Lord, no, everything is normal!"

"Well, that's good, Sasuke, and Zenji, I have high hopes for you, and after this mission is over, I will definitely treat you to a good meal!"

"Thank you very much, my Lord!"

"Slow down, my Lord!"

In the private territory of a noble under Tsunayashiro in the 37th district of Minami-Ryukon Street, the two Shinigami who were responsible for guarding the gate sent off the Shinigami who came to inspect the work and closed the gate.

"The Zanpakutō ability of the captain of the fifth division is really terrible."

One of the Shinigami sighed.

In the eyes of other people around here, his name is Kurata Sasuke, but in fact, he is just Kisaragi Shusuke with this identity.

"Kyoka Suigetsu. What a beautiful name. If it weren't for Master Shuichi noticing it, I'm afraid the entire Soul Society would fall into his control.

But even so, with Master Shuichi's ability, there is no way to get rid of the influence of Kyoka Suigetsu."

Another Shinigami also said with lingering fear. Her name is naturally not the Zenji that the outside world thinks, but Matsumoto Rangiku.

Originally, it should be Shimo Osu who did this job, but because Shimo Osu has not yet revealed his true camp in front of the Gotei 13, Higashino Hideichi directly ignored the latter's pitiful eyes and sent him back to Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

Since Higashino Shuichi didn't want his next actions to be known to Tsunayashiro Kanbaru, he made a deal with Aizen.

He revealed all his true plans to Aizen, and Aizen was responsible for using Kyoka Suigetsu to cover him.

This was unimaginable for the relationship between the two of them.

But everything turned around with Higashino Shuichi's strong victory over Aizen that night.

With the improvement of his own strength and the huge number of uncontrollable and unpredictable plot changes caused by his own butterfly effect, Higashino Shuichi is no longer satisfied with passively accepting the development of all things.

Especially in this incident, he was completely set up by Aizen, which can be said to have completely disrupted his previous arrangements, forcing Higashino Shuichi to make such a response.

From the original Aizen's point of view, there is nothing wrong with him doing this. After all, Higashino Shuichi is just one of his subordinates. As the boss, there is no need for him to inform Higashino Shuichi before doing anything.

But from Higashino Shuichi's perspective, it's completely different.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi realized a very important issue, that is, the relationship between him and Aizen must make some changes. Otherwise, if it continues like this, with the expansion of Aizen's ambition, Higashino Shuichi's own strength and influence As the situation increases further, there will only be more and more points at which conflicts will break out between him and Aizen.

Normally, if there is no essential conflict between the interests of the two people, and both parties only need to make compromises, then such a problem can actually be easily solved.

But the problem is that the relationship between Higashino Shuichi and Aizen was not normal before.

The superior-subordinate relationship model directly blocks the possibility of equal communication between two people.

This was not a big problem for the once impoverished Higashino Shuichi, but for the current Higashino Shuichi, it is unacceptable.

So Higashino Shuichi understood that it was time for him to transform himself and Aizen from the original superior-subordinate relationship into a cooperative relationship.

However, for someone who is so proud of Aizen, achieving this step is both simple and difficult.

Fortunately, Higashino Shuichi relied on the power of the three of them that night, coupled with the information gap between Ouchi and Aizen, to achieve an overwhelming victory over Aizen, making Aizen convinced that he had lost.

This made everything else fall into place.

"Yes, Rangiku, if this were not the case, there would be no need for Shuichi-sama to beg for mercy at the hands of Aizen for hundreds of years. It was only now that Shuichi-san finally found a way to solve it.

It’s just that it can’t be repaired. Why doesn’t my Tapir Yao Knife ability work? But it was that boy Yuji Ouch who stole the limelight! "

After learning part of the truth and Higashino Shuichi's subsequent plans from Higashino Shuichi, Kisaragi Suisuke was no longer worried about their current situation.

Because they are the absolutely righteous party who endure humiliation and shoulder the future of Soul Society!

So at this time Kisaragi Suisuke was in a very relaxed mood.

But every time he thought about the scene of Yuji Ouchi showing off that day's results in front of him, he felt a little unhappy.

Didn't that guy Yuzuru Ouch just create an information gap? What's so cool!

Didn’t everyone say this without watching the show? The method used to deal with Aizen this time will be useless next time!

"But I still can't figure it out. If Aizen Sosuke had been secretly accumulating power and even had a hand in Hueco Mundo, then why didn't Shuichi-sama kill Aizen that night?

That is obviously a very good opportunity! "

Matsumoto Rangiku said with a frown.

In fact, she wanted to ask Higashino Shuichi this question, but she didn't dare to ask it, because she also firmly believed that Mr. Shuichi must have done this with Mr. Shuichi in mind.

Just because she can't think of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And if she asks, doesn't that mean she's a fool?

How bad it is for you to show off your image in the minds of others!

"The question you asked, Yuga Oush and I asked the Lord that night, and the Lord said there are two reasons.

First, Aizen Sosuke has never shown his true strength in front of other Shinigami. His hidden strength has only been seen a few times by the adults himself, and there is no evidence at all.

If you kill Aizen like this that night, then all the things he has done in the past, including those of us who have been bound to you, will not be able to wash away the sins on your body. We can only really fight with him. The Tsunayashiro family walked all the way to darkness;

Second, based on your understanding of history, he believes that the Soul King's will is still affecting our entire world in the form of the Zero Division.

Aizen Sosuke's existence has both its own reasons and the reason why the Soul King deliberately let it go. Before knowing why the Soul King did this, rashly killing Aizen will probably bring about some immeasurable consequences. as a result of. "

But Matsumoto Rangiku didn't expect that Kisaragi Suisuke and Yusaki Osu, two "idiots", would actually ask so straightforwardly.

And the answer was still the same.

As expected, Mr. Xiuichi is still too gentle. Even at this point, he is still thinking about their future and future.

As for the so-called spiritual king

Matsumoto Rangiku felt that she was a little impressed, but not much.

But since Xiuichi said it, it must be true.

So, are these people actually doing something big enough to affect the future direction of the entire Soul Society?

In an instant, Rangiku Matsumoto's heart, which had been depressed recently because she couldn't drink, was simply filled with short-term happiness.

At this moment, in a bedroom in the territory guarded by Kisaragi Suisuke and the others, Higashino Shuichi was lying on the bed, reaching out and gently sliding his hand on the face of the beauty next to him.

"Shuichi, isn't it too risky for you to do this?"

With water in her eyes, Sayoko Kabutoma stretched out a hand to hold Higashino Shuichi's big hand, and said with some worry.

There were some things that Higashino Shuichi wouldn't just tell Kisaragi Suisuke and Yuma Osu since they had decided to show off.

Higashino Shuichi revealed more about Kabuto Masayako, who has been helping Kabuto Masayako unconditionally and without asking for anything in return because of Higashino Shuichi's entrustment over the years.

However, regarding the bitter choices Higashino Shuichi mentioned in the past, Kabutuma Sayeko did not express any more besides showing distress.

Born in Kabutuma's family, her duty is to guard Hell and ensure that Hell will not affect Soul Society. In fact, before meeting Higashino Shuichi, she had no idea about Soul Society at all.

Even without Higashino Shuichi, Kabutoma Sayeko believed that she would have turned into a pile of bones like the other clan members.

Therefore, in her heart, Higashino Shuichi's safety has a high priority.

The next plan mentioned by Higashino Shuichi is undoubtedly very dangerous, and in Kabutuma Sayeko's view, this plan is not impossible for Higashino Shuichi to implement.

"Isn't it okay to leave it to Soyousuke Aizen?

Anyway, that was his original purpose."

Kabutima Sayoko said worriedly.

"It's different, Sayako. Aizen and I want different things. What I need, with Aizen's pride, he doesn't like."

Higashino Shuichi smiled and continued to rub Sayako's smooth face, and said softly,

"Besides, it's not like I didn't tell him that you have seen what he got in exchange.

Aizen is not stupid. He can see that I am bound to get those things, so he doesn't have to do anything on his own. "

"But."

"There's nothing left to do, Sayako, you should believe me. After all, I haven't let you down so far, right?"

"Hmm? Xiuyi-kun, please be gentle with your hands."
