The smile gradually froze.
Looking into the other person's cunning eyes, Aizen opened his mouth but said nothing.
The names of Unohana's five ultimate techniques are quite interesting, the first being "Tsuchikage Sekikisatsu" (Earth Shadow Stone Demon Slayer).
Afterwards, they created the Kazekage, Raikage, Hokage, and Mizukage series, which inexplicably gives off a feeling of referencing Naruto.
If Aizen hadn't known the other person quite well, he probably would have suspected that Unohana Retsu had been replaced by a transmigrator.
"Also, I heard that the Flying Sword Style you used before was a sword technique that your younger brother used."
Bar."
"Hmm, it's just so-so."
Aizen generally accepted the assessment.
Seeing Aizen's attitude, Unohana Retsu's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt and confusion.
In her memory, Aizen should have loved his younger brother very much, so his current attitude seemed a bit off.
This is not modesty, but a genuine indifference, seemingly towards the swordsmanship created by Aizen Senzaemon.
They didn't care at all.
Aizen adjusted his glasses without changing his expression, realizing that the other party had become suspicious.
He didn't even have all his own men, let alone Unohana.
Don't worry about it, you'll find out some things someday.
"That's true, I'm just a medical team member now."
Retsu Unohana spoke with a gentle expression, yet her words were heartbreaking.
With your wild, flowing hair, murderous aura, and the look that makes you seem like your internal organs are about to shatter, what kind of medical team leader are you?
Aizen, who couldn't help but inwardly complain, remained calm, as if he had accepted the explanation.
After chatting about trivial matters for a while, Retsu Unohana, whose breathing had almost calmed down, left, as if she had only come here to have a fight.
"His wrist is broken; he really didn't know his own strength."
With a faint halo shimmering in his left hand, Aizen, his expression unchanged, gripped his right wrist and snapped it with a sharp crack.
This injury was considered minor in their sparring match, but compared to visible external injuries, this was the first time they had been hit to the point of bone fracture.
Unohana's visit today could also be seen as a test.
What were they testing? Their testing of his injuries, his strength, and his attitude.
Unohana has always expressed an attitude that she is just the captain of the medical squad in the Gotei 13. Having picked up the heart of swordsmanship, she will not easily sacrifice herself for the Soul Society as a swordswoman.
If Aizen were to become the ruler of the Soul Society one day, she could serve him again out of gratitude, but she would never directly help him fight against the Soul Society.
This external pressure has also made it necessary for Unohana to understand some of Aizen's thoughts.
Regardless of who is in charge of the Soul Society, Retsu Unohana does not want Aizen to cause trouble at this critical juncture, given the external crisis.
Aizen didn't give a direct answer, but through the exchange of swords, Retsu Unohana had already gotten the answer she wanted.
A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
Even those who were seriously injured, such as Dongzhang, have already recovered and are lively again.
On this day, everyone gathered at the Twelfth Division.
"What is the special power within this? Why can't I disassemble some of it?"
With a fascinated look in his hand, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's emotions were somewhat unsettled.
"Stop joking, Captain Nie."
Joe Higashi took his gloves and katana with a very straightforward and forceful attitude: "You're only responsible for checking our weapons for any hidden dangers. Don't even think about sacrificing our things for you to experiment on."
"Tch, you brute."
Dissatisfied, Mayuri Kurotsuchi put the things down, his face somewhat unpleasant.
He has never liked the people in the Eleventh Division. Even though Joe Higashi is much better than that...annoying guy, Oni Genjo, he is still the type he doesn't like.
The main reason was that the incident where he secretly let Dongzhang and the others escape was exposed, which led to him being criticized by the captain as well.
Naturally, he disliked Higashijo.
"These things are all creations of unparalleled skill, and the power, attributes and effects they contain are all different. Several different powers have been discovered alone."
If I could analyze its structure, I might be able to improve future shallow-press techniques.”
"Improving the asagu is Zero Squad's business, it has nothing to do with you."
Dongzhang silently interrupted his leisurely conversation.
In an instant, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's face turned even uglier.
Even though they hadn't met anyone from Squad Zero yet, they, as captains, were well aware that Squad Zero provided the asatsu every year, although asatsu weren't something that was done every year.
The Captain-Commander would contact the Zero Division to collect new asauchi only when the stock was almost depleted.
"You're not using those two knives, what a waste!"
"Even if I don't use it, it's still mine, and you have no right to dispose of it."
"you!!!"
Seeing the two getting increasingly heated in their conversation, Aizen had no choice but to intervene.
"That's enough. We're all colleagues; let's not make things too awkward."
"Ultimately, Captain Nie doesn't own these things, so Higashijo's reaction is understandable."
"If any equipment is damaged in the future, I think none of you would mind handing it over to Captain Nie for analysis. I believe what we have already gained is enough for Captain Nie to study for a while."
Feilu reminds you: Three things to do when reading
Chapter 387 We have no rivals ahead! 3/3
Mayuri Kurotsuchi frowned slightly, then quickly put on an impatient and nasty smile.
"Alright, alright, I'll give Aizen face."
After saying that, Mayuri Kurotsuchi glanced at Joe Higashi with a provocative look, making the latter grit his teeth in anger.
Knowing he hadn't gained any advantage in this matter, Mayuri Kurotsuchi didn't mind annoying Joe one last time. He was clearly the one who shouldn't have kept the equipment, yet he insisted it was out of respect for Aizen. And Joe couldn't turn against him on the spot, otherwise it would be Joe disrespecting Aizen.
It means that Joe Higashi and Aizen had a special relationship in private; otherwise, Joe would definitely have held a grudge against Aizen after such a provocation.
A disheartened Mayuri Kurotsuchi casually tossed the items back to the group, then gave Omaeda, who had been acting as if he were invisible, a "friendly" look.
With a smile, he said, "Vice-Captain Ōmaeda's weapon is probably not very useful. Once Vice-Captain Ōmaeda has reconstructed his Zanpakuto, you can come to me. In exchange, I'll help you modify your Zanpakuto or provide any other assistance."
"Um, I'll try my best."
With a forced smile, Ōmaeda stammered in response.
He was truly heartbroken and bitter. The conflict between the captains didn't matter, but he, as a vice-captain, was just a lowly soldier. Suddenly being brought up, he didn't even have the right to resist.
Captain, why didn't you come with me?
On the way back, Aizen gave Joe a meaningful look before they parted ways.
"Hey, Captain Nie didn't tamper with the equipment, did he?"
The wary Senzaemon did not use his full name, Mayuri Nie.
"It's not that bad."
Aizen shook his head and said in a calm voice, "They are all captains. Even if someone is arrogant, they won't offend several captains at the same time. That guy from the Eleventh Division... Oni Genjo is a living example."
If Mayuri Kurotsuchi dares to do anything, he will not only offend Soi Fon, Joe Higashi, and me, but even the Captain-Commander, who was warned in advance, will dislike him.
Even though his special talents make his position much more secure than Oni-no-Kage's, when a Shinigami can take his place in the future, Captain-Commander Yamamoto will not hesitate to replace him.
This is the officialdom.
Whether in the realm of ordinary people or the supernatural, unless a person's status surpasses that of others and their power is sufficient to override the rules, interpersonal relationships and conduct are unavoidable.
"Moreover, that guy's haul was quite substantial."
"Oh"
"In order to test these devices, a lot of testing equipment must have been modified this week, and a lot of data should have been backed up each time the equipment was modified."
Once he has fully digested and integrated it, there will definitely be a significant improvement in detection technology.
Aizen's gaze was deep; he was fully aware of Mayuri Kurotsuchi's gains.
We're all researchers; we all know each other.
Unfortunately, not many people know that he also does scientific research.
He will have everything Mayuri Kurotsuchi can achieve, and he will also have the resources to do things that Mayuri Kurotsuchi cannot.
Borodin also gave a necklace to "Uchiha Madara" as a final gift.
The divine necklace is not cheap, but its value to Aizen isn't necessarily high; he wouldn't mind dissecting it directly.
To advance their own research plans.
For this very reason, he decided to keep quiet and avoid causing trouble for the time being.
The main reason is that there haven't been many opportunities to cause trouble lately. Doing things too frequently would seem arrogant, so I'll wait a few years before making any moves. After all, the Grim Reaper has a long lifespan.
By the way, if I have the chance, I should also get my hands on Joe Higashi's two Maru-no-Tachi swords and study them.
As they were talking, Aizen brought up another question.
"Master the skills within the Flaming Camphor Stick. As for that Zanpakuto, it's ultimately inferior to your own, so don't rely too much on external forces."
"I see."
Aizen Senzaemon nodded seriously in agreement.
Zanpakuto is ultimately the most suitable fighting method for a Shinigami, a product originating from the soul.
The Zero Division... initially established a very high level of prestige, with each member starting at least at the captain level, and boasting that the five members were stronger than the entire Gotei 5. So why did they repeatedly fail in actual combat? Was it because Yhwach and his Quincy subordinates were too powerful? Obviously not.
Ultimately, those guys had become arrogant because of their achievements, calling themselves "Knife Gods."
If you really rely on asana to show off, even the sharpest asana is just a soulless object. If you, Nimaiya Ohetsu, don't kneel before him, who will? Kiryu Hikifune rose to the Zero Division through scientific research, yet he only relies on inventions and cooking in battle. Don't you see Urahara Kisuke and Kurotsuchi Mayuri didn't abandon their Zanpakuto? The latter is still modifying and strengthening his Zanpakuto. If you don't lose, who will? Shutara Senjumaru, that woman, started by inventing the Shinha form, but ultimately, the Shinha form doesn't have offensive power. She was indeed talented in developing combat methods based on the Shinha form concept, but using something that doesn't have combat power as her main fighting method, she deserves to be defeated even by the enemy's personal guard.
Hyosube Ichibei is alright, and the remaining one, Kirinji Tenjiro, contributes just as much to the team battles as the three above who are rated 3. He's a support character, you know.
The reason this is happening is because they haven't given up their Zanpakuto.
Why did Kenpachi Zaraki, that seemingly madman who could fight anyone, lose to Ichigo Kurosaki in the early stages? In Ichigo Kurosaki's words, it was because Ichigo teamed up with Ichigo, one person and one sword, to take him down; it was a two-on-one fight where he would definitely win.
Speaking of which, let's skip over why Aizen lost.
Giving up one's Zanpakuto seems like a...
This thing is a bit suspicious compared to the Akatsuki members taking off their clothes.
After returning to the Fifth Division, Aizen gave Senzaemon a few pointers before sending him back to the Shinigami Academy.
Underground base.
Most of the high-ranking officers of the Gotei 13 gathered together.
Third Division Captain Gin Ichimaru.
Fifth Division Captain Aizen is receiving medical treatment.
Captain of the 7th Division, Murasaki.
Captain of the Ninth Division, Tosen Kaname.
Captain of the 11th Division, Joe Higashi.
Andy Bogard, the future candidate captain of the 14th Division.
"Oh dear, it's been a week since they contacted us. It's been so frustrating not being able to discuss some things."
Gin Ichimaru, with his eyes squinted, made his usual teasing remarks.
Naturally, some people disapprove of his attitude.
Murasaki snorted and immediately changed the subject, asking, "Lord Aizen, what kind of impact will those people from another world have on Soul Society?"
