"You want me to take your place? What are you going to do?"
Ichimaru Gin looked a bit lost after receiving Aozaki Reiji's message.
The Eleventh Division Barracks was incredibly noisy in the night, with Ikkaku Madarame's scolding, Kuna Mashiro's snickering, and the hurrying Squad members.
Everything seemed to portend that something bad was about to happen.
Before he even got close to the Captain's Squad Barracks gate, Ichimaru Gin was surprised to find that the entrance was already surrounded by Squad members ready for battle.
At this moment, the faces of these Squad members were full of excitement and fanaticism.
What kind of expression is this? Is Shinji planning a rebellion and wants me to lead them to militarily occupy the Squad One Barracks?
Looking at these Squad members, Ichimaru Gin uneasily walked up to Ikkaku Madarame.
The Eleventh Division Squad members, seeing who had arrived, bowed in unison.
"Captain!"
Upon entering the Squad Barracks, he found the courtyard filled with Squad members.
From the Vice-Captain down to the ordinary Squad members, including all seated officers, everyone was gathered there.
"What happened?"
Realizing that this situation was similar to a war mobilization, Ichimaru Gin's unease grew stronger. He vaguely guessed that something must have happened.
"The Lieutenant Team relayed an order from Central 46, stating that the Tsunayashiro Family was attacked by an unknown individual, and we are to go and provide assistance."
Ichimaru Gin's face instantly darkened, and he quickly stopped in his tracks.
Aozaki Reiji, what good deed have you done this time? Is the Tsunayashiro Family someone you can provoke right now? Can't you wait another ten-odd years? Then I'll go with you and kill them all!
You're truly too insensible!
Ichimaru Gin was furious: "Vice Captain Yamazaki, gather everyone. I'll take a group to the Tsunayashiro Family first, and you bring the rest to follow!"
Ikkaku Madarame was stunned, "Yes."
Doesn't the Captain usually despise the Tsunayashiro Family the most? Why is he so eager when the Tsunayashiro Family is attacked?
I understand! The Captain truly lives up to his reputation as an excellent Shinigami recognized by Captain-Commander. He is indeed impartial, a true role model among Shinigami!
......
Tsunayashiro Family.
Aozaki Reiji stood amidst the beautiful scenery of falling snow, admiring the perfect painting he had depicted with blood.
Before him lay over twenty corpses, scattered haphazardly on the snow.
"Alright, then it's time for me to see the treasure." Aozaki Reiji opened the secret room door.
What greeted his eyes were countless mechanical devices. A two-meter-tall cylindrical glass tank stood in the center of the room, like the kind of tank used to store human specimens in sci-fi movies.
Aozaki Reiji frowned. The Tsunayashiro Family was clearly engaged in inhumane human experimentation.
Soaking in a pale yellow liquid was a woman, her appearance delicate, her limbs and spine slightly bent. Her long, lustrous black hair floated slowly in the solution, and with her eyes closed, she looked as serene as a baby.
If it weren't for the documents placed on the table next to her, Aozaki Reiji would have thought she was still alive.
"This is the female corpse Tosen Kaname longed for. She's preserved so well, looking as if she's alive… They started experimenting on her when she was still alive. The people of the Tsunayashiro Family are indeed beasts."
Aozaki Reiji clicked his tongue as he flipped through the documents, but it wasn't necessarily out of great pity, as his own sins were countless.
"I just didn't expect Kakyō, who died many years ago, to be here. To be able to preserve her body until now, it seems the Tsunayashiro Family isn't without good things. I'll take this technology."
Aozaki Reiji skillfully operated the control panel.
The pale yellow liquid in the glass tube was instantly drained, and the moment the glass cover opened, Kakyō's body fell down.
He took a step forward and embraced Kakyō. Looking at the lifeless Kakyō, he pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly: "Tosen, don't blame me…"
Aozaki Reiji extended a hand, and a green light emanated from it, then he plunged it into Kakyō's chest.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada, as a member of a branch family of the Tsunayashiro Family, married Kakyō because she contained Reio's fragments within her.
After she married into the Tsunayashiro Family, the Tsunayashiro Family treated her as an experimental subject.
This woman and Tsunayashiro Tokinada were quite similar in some ways; both were simple people, but the former was simply good, while the latter was simply evil.
......
Another part of the Tsunayashiro Family.
Flashes of swords sliced through the air, leaving silver-white trails, cutting towards the Tsunayashiro Family members with astonishing speed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
Flakes of snow were easily swept up by the sword winds, landing on everyone and melting into warm blood.
Large clumps of crimson blood mist exploded on bodies, sending copious amounts of blood splashing.
"Damn you, Tsunayashiro Family!! Don't run!! All of you, die!!"
On the snow-covered ground where blood flowers bloomed, Kuchiki Kōga, holding his Zanpakuto, laughed wildly, roaring with a distorted expression, as if he would never tire, wildly slashing his long sword.
"Who exactly are you?! This is the Tsunayashiro Family, you bastard! Do you know what you're doing?!"
From a distant courtyard, the furious voices of Tsunayashiro Family members could be heard.
The trembling guards behind them swallowed, sweating profusely and at a loss.
They fumbled to draw their Zanpakuto from their waists, and under the curses and shouts of the guard captain, they surrounded the enemy one by one.
"Quick!! Protect Lord Inukai, kill the intruder! If Lord Inukai loses even a single hair, I'll hold you all accountable!!"
The guard captain had a Zanpakuto at his waist and an armband with the Tsunayashiro Family crest on his arm. For outsiders like them, this was the highest honor.
He anxiously gave orders, shielding the fat middle-aged man named Tsunayashiro Inukai behind him with one hand.
"But… the enemy is too strong, none of us are his match. How about we retreat while waiting for assistance from the Gotei 13?!"
A young guard subconsciously blurted out. They were only private armed forces, not family death squads who didn't care about their lives.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the other guards immediately looked at him as if he were an idiot.
He instantly understood: the enemy was on a killing spree, chasing them from the outer areas to here. Where else could they run?
"There's only one opponent. Have the guards from other posts rush over. Stall for time and wait for the Gotei 13!"
The guard captain shook his head and ordered his adjutant.
He gazed at the intruder slaughtering in the bloody scene in the distance, judging that there was a huge disparity in strength between them. His mind began to race.
Being able to suppress a group of guards without even releasing his Zanpakuto meant the opponent had at least Captain-class Reiatsu. This level of strong individual couldn't be overwhelmed by numbers.
The guard captain looked towards the central area of the Tsunayashiro Family.
The Tsunayashiro Family would naturally not rely on people like them, who couldn't even reach Vice-Captain level, as their military might. The true powerhouses and hidden strengths were all there.
But the people there were far more important than the lord behind him, so they definitely wouldn't send anyone to save them.
However, there was no need to send people to protect them anymore, because the enemy had already arrived before them!
