[At this time, witnessing the highly suspicious Gin Ichimaru, the Shinigami all regarded him with strange expressions.
Zaraki Kenpachi directly began interrogating him:
"You claimed you were going to deal with the Ryoka, didn't you? Why didn't you eliminate them? With your strength, handling them shouldn't present any problems, right?"
At this moment, Gin Ichimaru became the object of everyone's suspicion.
Gin Ichimaru feigned surprise and replied:
"Ah, they're not dead yet?"
Kurotsuchi Mayuri complained beside him.
"Don't pretend. We captains should be able to sense whether the opposing souls have vanished, correct?"
The implication was clear—Gin Ichimaru had deliberately allowed them to escape.
The atmosphere quickly grew tense. When several captains were about to argue, Captain-Commander Yamamoto spoke with majestic authority!
"Gin Ichimaru, you ventured out independently at this critical time to deal with these intruders..."
"Yet you failed to apprehend your targets—this is tremendously embarrassing for a captain!"
"Gin Ichimaru, do you have anything to say in your defense?"
At this moment, Gin Ichimaru maintained his perpetual smile!
"I have nothing to say! This was simply my negligence—I won't make excuses."
Gin Ichimaru possessed an unshakeable mentality. Regardless of whom he faced, he remained extraordinarily calm.
Suddenly, something unexpected occurred, interrupting their conversation.
"RING RING RING!"
"Intruders have breached the Seireitei!"
"Everyone, please remain alert!"
At this moment, through Shiba Kūkaku's cannon, Ichigo Kurosaki and his companions invaded Soul Society. The captains quickly prepared to address the intrusion.
As Aizen departed, he spoke to Gin Ichimaru with a grim expression:
"This alarm sounds rather convenient!"
Gin Ichimaru's eyes continued smiling.
"I don't quite understand your meaning, Captain Aizen..."
Aizen sneered coldly.
"Do you believe you can escape accountability so easily? Don't underestimate me!"
After delivering these words, Aizen walked through the door without looking back.
Gin Ichimaru remained perfectly composed, his smile growing even wider.
If he weren't such a professional, he would have burst out laughing...
Only Hitsugaya Toshiro, who happened to pass by, became suspicious of their exchange!
It was evident that Aizen harbored suspicions about Gin Ichimaru at this time. Because Aizen had maintained good relationships with everyone previously, Toshiro was deeply concerned about this development.
However, what he didn't realize was that he was actually the one being deceived.]
After witnessing this scene, the Shinigami who knew about these two traitors appeared extremely uncomfortable. Hitsugaya Toshiro could only remain speechless!
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Damn it! Now that I reflect on it, they wanted to manipulate me from the beginning! What a detestable pair of actors!
[Gin Ichimaru]: Haha, now you understand why I kept smiling! I nearly couldn't contain myself anymore.
[Aizen Sosuke]: Indeed! I almost couldn't suppress my laughter.
[Tier Harribel]: Pfft... I'm laughing openly now.
[Coyote Starrk]: Lord Aizen and Gin Ichimaru truly played these Shinigami like fiddles.
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: My, Lord Aizen certainly knows how to have fun. He was bullying a child!
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Hey, who are you calling a child? Don't blame me for showing no mercy in future encounters.
[Sasakibe Chōjirō]: These two are among the three most talented Shinigami in our Gotei 13. Who knows what developments await us?
At this time, the Shinigami were speechless regarding these Soul Society traitors. What proved more terrifying than Shinigami with peak abilities were Shinigami with explosive intelligence and acting skills!
Everyone understood the subsequent background perfectly. Ichigo Kurosaki, Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Sado, Uryū Ishida, and others breached Soul Society.
The Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, issued orders. The Gotei 13 entered complete wartime mobilization status!
The storm was truly approaching! High-level combatants, including vice-captains and captains, must carry their Zanpakutō at all times. Even captains could fully unleash their Zanpakutō during battle! There was no need for restraint against Ichigo Kurosaki and his companions!
[The scene shifted once more, arriving at Aizen's residence.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Please come in!"
Hinamori Momo knocked on Aizen's door, seeming to have finally mustered her courage, speaking earnestly:
"Excuse me, Captain Aizen. I know I'm disturbing you, but may I have a few words with you?"
Hinamori appeared terrified, as if worried her rude behavior might result in Aizen's rejection.
Aizen seemed slightly surprised, even revealing a hint of self-reproach, responding more gently:
"Oh, are you concerned I'll dismiss you due to your rudeness? Do I appear so heartless in daily life?"
Aizen, who understood human psychology exceptionally well, could easily perceive Hinamori's current emotional state.
Upon hearing this, Hinamori grew even more flustered, stammering:
"Oh, that's not the case..."
Aizen invited her warmly:
"Then please, come in. Many terrible events occurred today. You may remain until you've calmed down..."
Hinamori was overjoyed and hurried inside. She had always harbored secret feelings for Aizen and felt warmth and security in this moment.
As long as Aizen was present, she could quickly find peace!
After Hinamori entered, Aizen inquired:
"You have something to ask, don't you?"
Hearing this, Hinamori appeared confused and seemed unable to speak.
"Um... it's like this..."
Aizen perceived her feelings and asked:
"How is Renji doing?"
Hinamori was greatly surprised. It seemed Aizen had anticipated her question before she could voice it, prompting her to respond quickly:
"His life has been saved!"
Aizen noticed Hinamori remained worried and offered comfort:
"Don't worry—he won't be dismissed. Although Captain Kuchiki wanted to remove him from duty, he had to abandon the idea due to opposition from myself and others! After all, everyone holds great affection for him!"
Sure enough, Aizen remained the exceptionally considerate Shinigami!
Upon receiving this information, Hinamori finally sighed with relief.
"That's truly wonderful!"
Aizen smiled faintly and continued writing at his desk! Everything seemed so peaceful.
Observing Aizen's stable and reliable figure, Hinamori smiled and asked expectantly:
"Captain Aizen, excuse me, but may I simply stand behind you and watch you work like this?"
Aizen nodded approvingly.
"Certainly, that presents no problem."
Then, Hinamori gazed upon Aizen with a blissful expression, thoroughly content, and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.]
The chat commentary erupted at this moment:
[Matsumoto Rangiku]: Oh no, Hinamori! Don't fall for his act!
[Kira Izuru]: This is painful to watch, knowing what we know now...
[Hisagi Shūhei]: Aizen's psychological manipulation is absolutely terrifying.
[Abarai Renji]: Even I feel bad for Hinamori. She genuinely trusted him.
[Kuchiki Rukia]: The way he reads people's emotions and exploits them... it's chilling.
[Ikkaku Madarame]: Poor girl never stood a chance against someone like that.
[Yumichika Ayasegawa]: His acting is flawless—even knowing the truth, it's convincing.
[Kotetsu Isane]: How many people did he manipulate like this over the years?
[Aizen Sosuke]: My concern for my subordinates was always genuine, I assure you.
[Hinamori Momo]: I... I don't want to watch anymore of this.
[Tosen Kaname]: Lord Aizen showed appropriate care for his division members.
[Gin Ichimaru]: Captain Aizen was always so thoughtful about everyone's feelings.
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: Lord Aizen's understanding of human psychology remains unmatched.
[Tier Harribel]: Even his enemies must acknowledge his masterful manipulation techniques.
[Coyote Starrk]: I almost feel sorry for those who trusted him... almost.
[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: At least he was gentle about crushing their spirits.
[Nnoitra Gilga]: Hah! Humans are so easily deceived by pretty words.
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: This manipulation of innocent hearts is truly unforgivable.
[Unohana Retsu]: The psychological damage he inflicted may never fully heal.
[Kyoraku Shunsui]: Watching this knowing the outcome... it's genuinely heartbreaking.
[Ukitake Jūshirō]: How many sleepless nights did his subordinates endure because of his deceptions?
Witnessing these comments, the Shinigami felt deeply depressed. From men to women, this Aizen had truly manipulated all of Soul Society!
Soul Society would likely remain in a state of psychological trauma for considerable time! As long as videos featured Aizen, he would rarely appear embarrassed, would he?
The embarrassed parties would probably always be the forces of Soul Society!
