Soul Society.
Quiet Spirit Court, Rescue Station.
Due to the actions and activity of the Arrancar Legion, the Shinigami stationed in the Mortal World were mostly besieged by the Arrancar Hollow, dragging their heavily injured bodies back to the Soul Society in haste.
Among them, most of the Shinigami stationed in the Mortal World belong to Squad 10.
As the current Captain of Squad 10, Shiba Ishin, upon learning of the severe damage to his squad, immediately ordered Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku to report the activity of the Arrancar Hollow, while he went alone to the Mortal World to assist the other subordinates.
The news of the Arrancar Legion’s activity in the Mortal World caused a great commotion throughout Quiet Spirit Court, a situation akin to eggs on a precipice; if the entire Mortal World were occupied by Hollows, it could become a hell!
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni immediately convened all the captains of the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads, to brainstorm and find ways to deal with this sudden threat.
None of the captains looked pleased; obviously, they were well aware that those active Arrancar Hollows posed a great threat to the Soul Society. Who knows if those Hollows would attack the Soul Society after taking over the Mortal World...
No...
It absolutely cannot be allowed for those Hollows to occupy the Mortal World!
Squad 10 Captain Zaraki Kenpachi, a battle maniac, showed a ferocious smile on his scarred face, speaking coldly, "Speaking of which, in such a situation it seems we have no other way but to fight!"
As someone who loves battle, Zaraki Kenpachi led the whole 11th Squad like ravenous wolves; upon getting the news of strong enemies appearing in the Mortal World, the first thought of the 11th Squad was to charge in and face the foe as vanguard!
"Wouldn’t it be better to first investigate the enemy’s origin?"
Squad 4 Captain Unohana Retsu slowly shook her head, looking towards Kyoraku Shunsui’s direction, "Speaking of which, has the 8th Squad’s intelligence unit gathered any relevant information?"
A group of Shinigami captains couldn’t help but turn their gaze to Kyoraku Shunsui.
After all, they still didn’t know the origin of the Arrancar Legion active in the Mortal World, they must at least gather enemy intelligence to avoid loss as much as possible.
Squad 8 Captain Kyoraku Shunsui noticed the room had suddenly quieted down, with a crowd staring at him, he slowly shook his head and said, "Ah? Intelligence... indeed, we haven’t found anything, those guys seem to have appeared out of thin air..."
"How could an enemy just appear out of thin air..."
"Regardless of whether they are from the Hollow World or have been hiding in the Mortal World all along, this large organization must have existed for a long time, it’s impossible not to leave a trace..."
"From what we have now, the only clue might be tracing back to the earlier assassination incident, perhaps that assassin wasn’t a Hollowfied Shinigami but rather a so-called Human-Shaped Arrancar Hollow."
"If that’s the case..."
Everyone’s gaze fell on the two from Squad 5.
Just then, Aizen Sousuke had recovered from his injury, and this time he attended the meeting along with Uehara Naraku, receiving the news of the Arrancar Legion’s actions.
Regarding the activities of the Arrancar Legion, Aizen Sousuke was indifferent; it didn’t concern him much, he merely left everything to be handled by Orochimaru and Ulquiorra. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
In fairness...
This operation, although troublesome, did manage to arouse vigilance in the Soul Society, it might allow him to escape from Soul Society more conspicuously in the future.
Ever since Shihoin Yoruichi and Hirako Shinji’s Masked Legion were caught and brought into Soul Society, Aizen Sousuke was aware that he would inevitably encounter trouble in Soul Society.
Might as well take this opportunity to escape.
For now, Aizen Sousuke hadn’t yet queried Black Zetsu, nor did he know how far along their plans were, if the Arrancar Legion’s hundreds of Hollows invaded the Mortal World, it shouldn’t hinder capturing Urahara Kisuke, right?
However, this time, Aizen Sousuke needed to remain hidden in Soul Society for some time; at least until it was confirmed at which step Black Zetsu and Ulquiorra’s plans had reached...
When everyone’s gaze fell on Aizen and Uehara Naraku, Aizen Sousuke slowly clenched his fist over his lips, coughing lightly, "Speaking of which, perhaps the ones who attacked me and Naraku last time might be similar to the Hollows attacking the Mortal World, likewise belonging to a mutated Human-Shaped Arrancar Hollow, just not sure who ordered them..."
Aizen Sousuke slowly lifted his head, revealing a solemn look beneath his disheveled hair, "What is certain is, they aim to stir up chaos in both Quiet Spirit Court and Soul Society, as their initial target was to assassinate Naraku..."
As he spoke, Aizen Sousuke glanced at Uehara Naraku, and continued softly, "Though Naraku never likes to rely on his identity in Quiet Spirit Court, his status indeed concerns the safety of Quiet Spirit Court..."
"Captain..."
Uehara Naraku seemed a bit dejected.
It’s clear that Uehara Naraku indeed dislikes his own identity, he has truly been loath to depend on being a Patriarch of a prestigious clan.
Even just the slight mention by Aizen Sousuke made this young Patriarch feel a bit disconsolate, as if everything he got now was only due to his name.
