Captain Unohana Retsu,
Dear Sir, by the time you see this letter, I will have already been captured or have died.
At that time, you will open this letter to find out who the real culprit is.
The culprit is Captain Sōsuke Aizen. He is not as gentle as he appears to be, and he is very powerful. 80 years ago, he had already reached the peak of the Shinigami realm.
He has always been pursuing breakthroughs, hoping to break through the limits of the Shinigami realm. As a result, he used the Shinigami's soul to create an object called Hogyoku.
Hogyoku can break through the limits of the Shinigami realm, allowing the Shinigami to become even more powerful.
However, at the same time, Urahara Kisuke was also researching this power, and created a Hogyoku.
71 years ago (101 years ago in the original work, after Urahara Kisuke became Captain for 9 years), Aizen used his Hogyoku to make the 8 Captain and Vice-Captain Shinigami enter an ethereal state. Urahara Kisuke was framed, and the Great Ghost Road's Captain Chung Ling Tie Sai was also sentenced to death. However, he was rescued by Ye Yi and hid in the modern world.
Whether it was Metastasia, who could make Zanpakuto disappear, or Ramires, who attacked me, they were all Aizen's handiwork. If I suddenly die or get imprisoned, it will definitely be his revenge.
East Sensei and Ichimaru Yin are his subordinates and have always been helping him in the dark, so please do not believe their statements.
So, if I am imprisoned or killed, please pass this letter to Captain Yamamoto.
However, before that, please check my corpse to see if it is really my body. It is very likely that Aizen used his artificial skeleton and his ability to imitate my body.
If the corpse is not mine, or if my corpse was never discovered, or if I disappeared without a trace after defecting, then this means that I am not dead.
This proves that I am not necessarily dead. Perhaps I am still alive.
Then, Captain Unohana Retsu, please wait patiently. I will return here as soon as possible to expose Aizen's scheme. Also, please do not pass this letter to Captain Yamamoto and wait for my return.
If I don't return, then please pass this letter to Captain Yamamoto when Lucia is sentenced to death.
There were two reasons why Aizen did this. One was to study the perfect Hogyoku to help himself evolve to a higher level.
The second was to enter the Ling Of Gojoseon Palace. After the 12th Division Captain Kirishiro Ofune left Bellingham for Division Zero, he learned about the Ling Of Gojoseon Palace. Therefore, he used the traditional method to create Wang Jian and tried to enter the space where the Ling Of Gojoseon Palace was.
Before obtaining the perfect Hogyoku, Aizen would not carry out the second operation, and the perfect Hogyoku required Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku.
Right now, Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku was inside Lucia's body, but Aizen didn't know about it.
Therefore, once Lucia Kuroki is sentenced to death by the Central Chamber 64 and is about to be executed with the Twin Hatchet, it will prove that Aizen is trying to strip Lucia's soul to obtain the Hogyoku.
Therefore, please pass this letter to Captain Yamamoto before Lucia is executed. Then, set up an ambush and try to kill Aizen in one go.
In addition, Aizen's Zanpakuto ability is Kyoka Suigetsu. He told you that his ability is to use water and fog to confuse the enemy's vision, but his true ability is to hypnotize a person's five senses. Once hypnotized, the person will remain in a state of hypnosis forever.
He can make the hypnotized person mistake someone else for him, making it impossible to find any flaws from any angle. He can completely change a person's perception of another person.
Right now, almost all the Shinigami in Bellingham have been hypnotized by Aizen, even Captain Yamamoto and Captain Unohana Retsu are no exception.
The method to dispel Aizen's Zanpakuto is to touch the back of his Zanpakuto before the hypnosis is fully activated.
If you decide to kill Aizen, please secretly tell this method to Ichimaru Yin, and he will assist you in killing Aizen.
Furthermore, Aizen is very strong, having reached the peak of Shinigami. He can use Black Coffin without chanting, and can also block other people's Bankai Slashes with one hand.
For him, a Captain Shinigami is an existence that can be dealt with with with a single slash or an advanced Dao Breaker. Only Captain Yamamoto is qualified to fight against him.
Please be very careful when fighting against him.
Honorifics
Year XXXX, Natsuhiko!
…
After reading the letter, Unohana Retsu's eyes narrowed, and a murderous aura spread around her.
The instigator of the incident 71 years ago was actually Aizen, Metastasia and Ramires were both created by Aizen, and the one who killed Natsuhiko was also Aizen?
Aizen gave off a gentle and cultured feeling, and he didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing. However, with this letter, Unohana Retsu was somewhat skeptical.
Also, if Ichimaru Yin and East Sensei were his subordinates, why would East Sensei be able to materialize?
Could it be that he was abandoned by Aizen?
However, during the battle, Ichimaru Yin was indeed present, and he was there to prove that East Sensei was going to attack Natsuhiko.
On the back of the letter, it said that as long as she told Ichimaru Yin the method to dispel Kyoka Suigetsu, the latter would assist in killing him.
Ichimaru Yin was the traitor?
Unohana Retsu was somewhat confused, and she also felt that there were many questions. However, this was something that Natsuhiko had written with his life on the line, and to a large extent, it proved that his words were true.
Even if she still had some doubts, she wouldn't make the decision herself. Instead, she would hand it over to Yamamoto, which was also what Natsuhiko had requested in the letter.
Also, Aizen's strength and ability were so great that he could hypnotize everyone. Even if they surrounded him, they would still be tricked by him.
According to the contents of the letter, this letter could only be handed over after Natsuhiko betrayed or died.
However, Natsuhiko was currently missing. If he wasn't dead, then this letter couldn't be handed over for the time being. They had to wait for Natsuhiko to return, or for Lucia Kuroki to be sentenced to death.
In that case, they could only wait and see.
Unohana Retsu put the letter away. At this moment, Yūon Toru's voice sounded, "Captain, the Head Captain wants you to go to the team's quarters."
"Head Captain?
I'll go right away. "
Unohana Retsu stood up and left the room, arriving at the First Squad's quarters.
Other than the Head Captain, there was also the Eighth Regiments' Captain, Kyōraku Chunshui, and Shiba Isshin.
"Head Captain, what's the matter?"
Unohana Retsu looked at Yamamoto with a confused expression.
Yamamoto said, "The Ninth Regiments' Captain, Higashi, wanted to betray us and was killed by Sui Feng, so the Ninth Regiments' Captain is vacant.
Yesterday, Futaki Shūshirō recommended Shiba Petrel to me, so I gathered three officials to test him.
Today, I've gathered Shunsui, Aizen, and Unohana Retsu, the three captains to test him.
Since none of you are against this, just accept your fate. "
To test a captain, one had to be nominated by the captain, approved by the officials, and then tested by Yamamoto and the other three captains.
The three captains should be the most experienced, so they should be Unohana Retsu, Kyōraku Chunshui, and Futaki Shūshirō.
However, Futaki Shūshirō was the nominee, so he was excluded. The only other qualified person was Isshin.
Isshin smiled and said: "Of course, I don't mind, but can you let me review it?"
Isshin and Shiba Petrel were from the same clan, one was the head of the branch house, the other was the head of the main house. Isshin was Shiba Petrel's uncle.
Yamamoto said, "That's fine."
Kyōraku Chunshui said, "He was the Vice Captain eighty years ago. At that time, if Higashi was still the Fifth Captain of the Ninth Regiments, he would've been qualified to be a captain."
Unohana Retsu nodded, "Shiba Petrel's character and strength are both good. Has he mastered Bankai?"
Yamamoto said, "Come in."
Following his words, Shiba Petrel slowly walked in, looked at everyone, and saluted, "Greetings to the Head Captain and the three captains."
Isshin's face suddenly became serious, and he asked, "Haiyan, are you sure you want to take over?"
Shiba Petrel nodded and said, "I'm ready."
Yamamoto said, "Then show us your Bankai."
Shiba Petrel took out his Zanpakuto and shouted, "…"
