Bleach: Why I, Kurosaki Ichigo, am not the harem king Chapter 055

Aizen nodded. “As a reward for discovering me, I can tell you how I deceived you all.”

Unohana Retsu frowned slightly at Aizen’s words. What did he mean, ‘reward’? If this weren’t such an inconvenient place, she’d cut him down until he told the truth!

“My Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu—I achieved this with it!” Aizen Sousuke said with a smile.

Isane Kotetsu frowned. “But didn’t you say your Zanpakuto was a water-type Zanpakuto, and its function was to reflect the enemy’s movements to make them fight each other?”

Aizen looked at the naive Isane Kotetsu and smiled. “That’s not my Zanpakuto’s true ability at all!”

“My Zanpakuto’s true ability is Complete Hypnosis! I can freely manipulate a person’s five senses! Whether it’s hearing, sight, taste, touch, anything at all—it’s completely under my control!”

“I can make a swamp appear as a flower field to someone, or a beautiful woman appear as an old hag! That is the true ability of my Zanpakuto!”

“And the prerequisite for activating this ability is very simple: merely to have seen my Zanpakuto’s Shikai release process once!”

At these words, Unohana Retsu nodded. “No wonder you participated in the Shinigami Academy’s Zanpakuto release demonstration every year. So that was why!”

Aizen laughed. “That’s right, you see, just like this: ‘Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu!’”

As Aizen chanted, the vision of Unohana Retsu and the other two changed again. The corpse that Aizen had been holding in his hand transformed back into his Zanpakuto!

“What a terrifying ability!” Unohana Retsu exclaimed.

Next, Aizen revealed his plan without any reservation. His goal, of course, was the Hogyoku that Urahara Kisuke had created a hundred years ago!

He knew that Urahara Kisuke had hidden the Hogyoku, and that this Hogyoku was within Kuchiki Rukia. So he intended to use the Sogyoku’s power to kill Rukia and obtain the Hogyoku!

However, it was clear that Aizen’s plan had failed!

Rukia had not been executed by the Sogyoku!

Unohana Retsu nodded inwardly. Indeed, just as she and Ichigo had analyzed, Aizen had relied on his Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu!

Unohana Retsu looked at Aizen. “Aizen Sousuke, your plan has been shattered. Kuchiki Rukia is now within my Zanpakuto. Come and take her if you can!”

At these words, Aizen Sousuke instead began to laugh. “Unohana-senpai, haven’t you understood yet? What I need isn’t Kuchiki Rukia; it’s the Hogyoku!”

Unohana Retsu frowned slightly, not understanding what Aizen meant.

Ichimaru Gin smiled faintly. “Captain Aizen, it’s almost time. We should head to the Sogyoku now!”

Aizen nodded. White cloth strips appeared in Ichimaru Gin’s hand, rapidly swirling around Aizen and himself. In an instant, both vanished from their spot!

Unohana Retsu immediately said to Isane Kotetsu, “Isane, inform the Soul Society about this at once. Afterward, just stay here and treat Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Hinamori.”

“Understood. And what about you, Captain?” Isane Kotetsu asked in return.

“I’m going to the Sogyoku!”

After dropping that last sentence, Unohana Retsu immediately used Shunpo and rushed towards the Sogyoku!

This time, she was putting in almost full effort!

Isane Kotetsu also quickly used Bakudo # 77, Tenteikura, to relay everything she had seen and heard, not forgetting to mention that the Sogyoku was Aizen’s destination.

A corner of Seireitei.

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro, bearing burn wounds, looked at the still formidable Yamamoto Genryusai and said, “Old man! It’s now confirmed that Aizen Sousuke has betrayed us. Can we stop fighting now?”

Yamamoto Genryusai’s expression was extremely grim, but he snorted and retracted Ryujin Jakka. The three of them then rushed towards the Sogyoku.

The other end of Seireitei.

Zaraki Kenpachi was locked in a fierce battle with Komamura Sajin. Upon hearing Isane Kotetsu’s words, Zaraki Kenpachi looked at Komamura Sajin and said, “Hey, beast, did you hear that? Let’s hurry to the Sogyoku!”

Komamura Sajin listened to the news of Tousen Kaname’s betrayal with disbelief, raging, “Tousen! Why you! Why you!”

Filled with confusion, Komamura Sajin directly sped towards the Sogyoku.

Zaraki Kenpachi, along with Kusajishi Yachiru, also rushed to the Sogyoku.

Below the Sogyoku.

Yoruichi and Soi Fon, who had reconciled, also heard the news. “Alright, Soi Fon, now you know why I didn’t dare return to the Soul Society, don’t you?”

“Yoruichi-sama, what should we do?” Soi Fon asked.

“To the top of the Sogyoku!”

Ten minutes earlier.

Tatsuki, along with the other members of the Living World team who had been captured and then rescued by Orihime, had reunited. They were the first group to arrive at the top of the Sogyoku.

Upon ascending, they saw Ichigo sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Tatsuki immediately spotted the injury on Ichigo’s shoulder and exclaimed, “Ichigo!”

Ichigo, who was resting and waiting for the subsequent battle, heard Tatsuki’s voice. As soon as he stood up, Tatsuki threw herself into his arms!

“Are you okay?” Tatsuki felt him up and down, finding that Ichigo truly wasn’t injured.

However, Ichigo blushed a little from Tatsuki’s摸索. “Tatsuki, I’m fine.”

Tatsuki also realized what she was doing and blushed.

But she quickly recovered and asked, “How’s Kuchiki-san? How is Kuchiki-san doing?”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, Tatsuki. Rukia is very safe now; nothing will happen to her,” Ichigo reassured Tatsuki.

At this point, Orihime and the others also gathered around. Hearing Ichigo say that Rukia was safe, they finally relaxed.

Just then, Isane Kotetsu’s voice rang out.

After listening to Isane Kotetsu’s words, Ichigo snorted coldly, thinking to himself, “Sure enough, it’s this guy named Aizen Sousuke!”

And then, Aizen Sousuke, Ichimaru Gin, and Tousen Kaname appeared one after another at the top of the Sogyoku.

Tousen Kaname was still carrying a corpse, which appeared to be Rukia’s likeness!

(Of course, he was just holding her clothes; Tousen wasn’t that perverted; he wasn’t interested in women.)

“Kuchiki-san!”

Orihime shrieked upon seeing the corpse resembling Rukia.

“Don’t worry, Orihime. That’s just Rukia’s Gigai!”

Ichigo instantly saw through everything.

And Renji, upon seeing Rukia’s likeness, was instantly stunned!

However, Ichigo knew that while he had calmed the Living World team, some people wouldn’t understand!

“You traitor, what are you doing to Rukia!”

Renji, who had fully recovered, had somehow made it to the top of the Sogyoku. Seeing Rukia’s Gigai, he instantly erupted!
