"Impossible! The one who controls the five senses is clearly you. Why are you framing Aizen-sensei?"
Kurosaki Ichigo stared deathly at Rosse. Seeing that the people around them showed no reaction at all, he could not help but grit his teeth as he spoke.
The bastard right in front of him had already exposed his Zanpakutō's ability, yet no one could do anything to him.
Controlling the five senses was simply too broken.
Fake could become real, and real could become fake.
Especially when it was in the hands of a beast like this, Kurosaki Ichigo did not even dare imagine what kind of tricks that sword could pull.
All these years, the entire Soul Society had probably already been brainwashed by him.
"Why not? Maybe the one standing in front of you right now is Aizen Sosuke himself, not Rosse. And maybe the one who taught you back in the Human World was someone else entirely. Since you know my ability is to control the five senses, then why are you so sure that what you see and hear is real?", Rosse let out a light laugh and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with a playful expression.
He had to say, Aizen's ability was really too convenient.
You could not tell at all. There was simply no way to tell.
If it were him, he might not be able to tell either.
Kurosaki Ichigo clenched his fist, then loosened it. He repeated this motion several times before finally grinding his teeth and staring at Rosse.
"Hah! Stop trying to sow discord here. Since you didn't make a move to take me down, that means you want to make some kind of deal with me, right? Say it. What do you want before you'll let Inoue go?"
Since Rosse had not acted earlier and instead chose to provoke him with words, that meant he had no intention of attacking or driving him away.
With his brain, it was not hard to figure out that the other side wanted to use Inoue Orihime as leverage.
But Inoue Orihime's life was in his hands, which forced him to act cautiously and not make any rash moves.
If Rosse really wanted to do something, he had no way to protect Inoue Orihime.
"Very simple. Our goals align. I don't have much interest in what you and Aizen want to do, and you don't need to be overly wary either. We target Kyoraku Shunsui together," Rosse said calmly.
Since Kurosaki Ichigo was willing to step into the game himself, Rosse would let him see what kind of capacity he really had.
"Target Kyoraku Shunsui?", Kurosaki Ichigo's expression shifted, clearly not believing Rosse's words.
If it were really just about targeting Kyoraku Shunsui, then why drag the Hogyoku and Aizen into it?
"Looks like your understanding of Hueco Mundo isn't deep enough," Rosse said.
Seeing the change in Kurosaki Ichigo's expression, the corner of Rosse's mouth curled into a playful smile, and he spoke smoothly.
"Explain it clearly," Kurosaki Ichigo said in a low voice.
What a joke. They were not from Hueco Mundo. How could they possibly understand Hueco Mundo?
"Aizen wants the Hogyoku, right?", Rosse said with a light laugh.
He really had not expected Aizen to dare tell Kurosaki Ichigo something so critical. That alone fully showed that Aizen truly had enough confidence and capacity.
As for how he knew this… not to mention that the entire Seireitei was within his perception range. Just talking about Kurosaki Ichigo himself, ever since that day in the Human World, there had always been someone following beside him.
It was just that no one had been able to notice.
Rosse cast a meaningful glance at the shadow beneath Kurosaki Ichigo's feet. Kurosaki Masaki had always been hiding there, continuously providing him with information.
This could be considered mutual fulfillment.
It was just that Kurosaki Masaki seemed to have been used too much and had completely broken down, broken to the point that he could not help but develop a bit of fondness and a desire to collect her.
"No! What is the Hogyoku?"
Kurosaki Ichigo's expression changed ever so slightly, but he quickly suppressed it and hurriedly gave a negative answer.
"Kurosaki Ichigo, you're still too inexperienced. That look on your face is exactly the same as when you lie to your mother. Don't worry. Kurosaki Masaki told me to take good care of you. Since I accepted her request, I won't do anything to you for now."
The corner of Rosse's mouth lifted slightly. Just those two short sentences nearly made Kurosaki Ichigo completely lose his composure.
Kurosaki Masaki was Kurosaki Ichigo's reverse scale. Rosse repeatedly using her as a point of teasing had already pushed Kurosaki Ichigo's patience close to its limit.
'If only I was strong enough… damn it!'
"Aizen wants the Hogyoku. That's a fact. Not only do I know it, Urahara Kisuke knows it too. That's why Urahara Kisuke placed the Hogyoku inside Rukia's body, all to lure Aizen into opposing me, and even opposing the entire Soul Society," Rosse said calmly.
"How do you know that? And aren't you in the same camp as that guy Urahara Kisuke?", Kurosaki Ichigo asked.
Seeing Rosse speak like this, he no longer bothered pretending and simply stared at him.
He held most of what Rosse said in doubt.
But no matter how much he doubted it, it did not stop him from listening first.
"Urahara Kisuke… look at this Soul Society. Captain-Commander Yamamoto represents the conservative faction. I represent the reformist faction. Aizen represents the neutral faction. Even in this small Soul Society, there are so many different factions. So do you really think that in Hueco Mundo, someone could dominate everything all by themselves?", Rosse smiled and spoke words meant to mislead.
He was not lying to Kurosaki Ichigo, after all, what he said was a question.
As for the answer, of course it was absolute dominance.
Hueco Mundo was different from Soul Society. There was only one will there, his.
But clearly, Kurosaki Ichigo did not know this, and instead felt that it made sense.
Even if Hollows and Shinigami could temporarily cooperate, no matter how one thought about it, Hueco Mundo should also have its own factions.
And clearly, Rosse belonged to one faction, while Urahara Kisuke belonged to another.
"I might as well tell you this too. The Shihoin family chose to cooperate with me, while Urahara Kisuke and those captains in the Human World, including your father, chose to cooperate with Kyoraku Shunsui," Rosse said calmly.
"You're telling me all this. Are you sure you're not just trying to confuse me?", Kurosaki Ichigo pretended not to believe it, but in his heart, he had already believed most of it.
After all, based on the information he and Aizen had investigated, it was indeed not very different from what Rosse said.
And since Urahara Kisuke stood on Kyoraku Shunsui's side, then Rosse was clearly the opposing enemy.
'Ahhh! This is too messy!'
Right now, Kurosaki Ichigo really wanted to scratch his head. He felt like his brain was about to grow bigger.
'How could such a small Soul Society be this chaotic?'
Between captains, there were conflicts of ideology.
Between captains and nobles, there were conflicts of ideology and authority.
Between Hueco Mundo spies and Soul Society captains, there were opposing conflicts.
Between Hueco Mundo spies themselves, there were factional conflicts.
"I have no need to confuse you. Confusing you is easy, but confusing Aizen is not. If I want to cooperate with you, then naturally I will show my sincerity,".Rosse smiled slightly.
Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo's expression, which was on the verge of losing it, only made it all the more interesting.
