Chapter 662 - The Action of the Arrancar Army, the Meeting of the Gotei 13th, the Truth About to Be Reveal
Seireitei.
During this period of time, Gotei 13 had their scalp numb by the successive bad news from Human World.
All of the Shinigami, who was stationed in Human World, had been expelled by the Arrancar Army. Even some of the substitute Shinigami had been killed by the Arrancar Army. It was as if the Human World had completely become a paradise for the Arrancar Army.
Under such circumstances, Gotei 13 sped up the gathering. Many Shinigami patrolling around Soul Society were called back to Seireitei, preparing to form an army that could contend with the Arrancar Army.
Gotei 13 Headquarter.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni hold on his cane and sat in the conference room of the headquarters with his eyes closed. In front of him sat the Gotei 13 captains and lieutenants. He was listening to the captains reporting the situation of each division.
In addition to the captain of the 10th division, Shiba Isshin, who moved alone to the Human World to support and save his subordinates, all the higher-ups of Gotei 13 were sitting here.
After Yamamoto Shigekuni finished listening to the reports of all the captains, his eyes fell on the lieutenant of the 10th division, Matsumoto Rangiku. There was a touch of kindness in his old voice as he said, “Rangiku… Is there any news from Isshin?”
“…”
Matsumoto Rangiku frowned and nodded slowly, “Yesterday, Captain sent us news that they are at the station in Kyoto…”
Late last night, the Human World sent a message.
Shiba Isshin repelled two Arrancar who tried to attack the station in Kyoto and saved more than ten Shinigami. However, this also aroused the vigilance of the Arrancar Army.
Under the siege of more than ten Arrancar, Shiba Isshin led the Shinigami who were stationed in Human World to withdraw from the station and were forced to hide in Human World to continue looking for opportunities to fight back.
“As long as he is still safe.”
Yamamoto Shigekuni slowly closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Then get ready, the 10th division and 11th division will take the lead to enter the Human World…”
“Captain-Commander Yamamoto!”
A voice suddenly interrupted Yamamoto Shigekuni’s words!
A white-haired little boy broke into the conference room. His face was full of tension. It was the 3rd Seat of the 10th Division, Hitsugaya Toshiro. This young-looking Shinigami hurriedly said, “Just now, Captain Isshin sent news from Human World. The Arrancar Army is gathering at the entrance of Soul Society and Human World!”
“What?”
A hint of surprise flashed across the faces of every captain!
What kind of joke was this?
They hadn’t even prepared to launch an encirclement against Arrancar Army, yet that group of fellows actually wanted to invade Soul Society after causing a ruckus in Human World?
This was a bit too savage!
Even Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni couldn’t help but open his eyes and a flash of hostility appear in his eyes, “Huh? That group of Arrancar… wants to enter Soul Society?”
Yamamoto Shigekuni didn’t care about the problem that Human World had.
As long as Soul Society and Seireitei were still safe, they could return to Human World sooner or later. But if the Arrancar Army wanted to attack Soul Society, it was undoubtedly stirring up a world war between Hollow and Shinigami!
What made Yamamoto Shigekuni really unable to bear was that group of Arrancar wanted to break the balance and break the order of this world!
The 13th Division Captain, Ukitake Jushiro, shook his head and said with some surprise, “Does that group of Arrancar really want to invade Soul Society? This action seems to be not wise at all. Is there any conspiracy…”
“Who knows what that group of Arrancar thinks?”
Kenpachi Zaraki held the back of his head and sneered, “Maybe they think that Shinigami, who is stationed in Human World, is too weak and thinks that we are vulnerable!”
“Captain Kenpachi Zaraki…”
Matsumoto Rangiku could not help but frown.
This Kenpachi Zaraki must be deliberately mocking the strength of the members of their 10th division. Who doesn’t know that most of the Shinigami stationed in Human World were members of their 10th division?
“Enough.”
Yamamoto Shigekuni opened his mouth and interrupted the quarrel that was about to appear. He looked at Hitsugaya Toshiro standing at the door and asked softly, “What is the situation on Human World’s side?”
Hitsugaya Toshiro hurriedly nodded and said in a deep voice, “Captain Isshin is trying to find a way to lure or stop them at the entrance…”
This was also what Shiba Isshin thought.
Shiba Isshin did not want the Arrancar Army to charge into Soul Society.
This was because Shiba Isshin was very clear about the combat strength of this Arrancar Army. If this Arrancar Army really went to attack Seireitei, it was still fine… but after this Arrancar Army which was separated into two-man teams entered Seireitei and regroup into one army, the entire Soul Society would be in big trouble!
Because unless the captain-level Shinigami moved out, the other Shinigami had no way to deal with this Arrancar Army, even if it was just a team of two Arrancar!
When he found that the Arrancar Army was gathering, Shiba Isshin planned to delay the time first to prevent them from entering Soul Society.
“There is no need for that.”
Yamamoto Shigekuni held his walking stick and slowly shook his head, “There will always be people who want to challenge the order of this world. Then let those who try to break the order step into this world and let them know where the real order of this world exists…”
Yamamoto Shigekuni understood Soul Society’s power very well.
Even if more than a hundred Arrancar came in, Yamamoto Shigekuni was confident enough to solve the trouble this time. As long as they entered Soul Society, all troubles would be easily solved.
“Do you want to put the enemy into Soul Society?”
The 8th Division Captain, Kyoraku Shunsui, chuckled and stretched slowly, “In this way, it seems to be a good fight!”
“Well, this is also good!”
The 11th Division Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki, reached out and put Kusajishi Yachiru, who was lying on his shoulder, beside him. He sneered and said, “You don’t have to be restrained anymore…”
When Shinigami was active, they always did not dare to use their full strength because they were afraid of destroying Human World’s space.
If they were to fight in Soul Society…
There was no need to be so wary!
The other captains were not like Kenpachi Zaraki, who was a battle maniac. However, when they heard that Yamamoto Shigekuni intended to put this Arrancar Army into Soul Society, their faces relaxed a little.
If they could use their full strength in Soul Society, this group of captains would not be afraid of any enemy!
A trace of worry flashed across the faces of several people present. They were somewhat worried about what would happen in this battle that was about to be carried out.
Even if it was the best result…
It was also possible that both sides would suffer.
At the very least, it was impossible for Gotei 13 to be safe and sound.
In comparison, these captains actually hoped that they could solve the problem in Human World. It would be best to send out elites bit by bit to defeat the Arrancar Army… instead of directly engaging in a great battle with the hundreds of Arrancar.
The 13th Division Captain, Ukitake Jushiro, still frowned and said with a somewhat ugly face, “So this Arrancar Army… How can they suddenly want to gather and invade Soul Society?”
Could it be that they think that Gotei 13 was vulnerable because they defeat the Shinagami station in Human World? Or do they have other plots…
The biggest trouble was, if they really want to fight with them in Soul Society, do they have to use Shinigami’s life to win?
“Who knows…”
Kyoraku Shunsui leaned on the back of the chair and slowly said, “Anyway, it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing for them to gather… At least we can catch this group and Human World’s crisis can be solved, right?”
“In short, it is better not to take it lightly.”
The 4th Division Captain, Unohana Retsu, shook her head and whispered, “According to our intelligence, every single Arrancar in this Arrancar Army has the same combat strength as lieutenant or even captain-level Shinigami…”
This was not a joke!
Although the captains and lieutenant were prepared to fight in their hearts because their own combat strength was strong enough, this did not mean that all of Gotei 13 Shinigami were strong!
Maybe they will face the problem of a lack of manpower in the end…
After all, there were only so many captain-level Shinigami in the whole of Gotei 13…
Of course, if you really want to confirm it, you have to wait until Gotei 13 and Arrancar Army collide. After all, there was a great gap between the combat strength of captain-level Shinigami…
For example, Captain-Commander Yamamoto Shigekuni…
This Captain-Commander can defeat the entire Gotei 13 alone
But the possibility that Yamamoto Shigekuni would destroy Soul Society was high. If Yamamoto Shigekuni could not attack with all his strength in order to avoid destroying Soul Society, then Gotei 13’s captains might have to use the lives of their subordinates to accumulate victory.
Every captain seemed to have thought of this…
Everyone present slowly felt a little heavy.
“Alright.”
Yamamoto Shigekuni looked at all the people present, and his eyes fell on the 2nd Division Captain, Soifon. This 2nd division captain was a little silent at this time.
Yamamoto Shigekuni looked at Soifon who had her head bowed and said softly, “Then the 2nd Division and Onmitsukido will go to the entrance to set up surveillance first…”
“…”
Soifon, the 2nd Division Captain, was still silent.
Today, this 2nd Division Captain’s performance was a little strange, not like her usual character at all. They could not see her past ostentation at all.
Even when Yamamoto Shigekuni arranged the task, she was a little dazed.
Yamamoto Shigekuni’s brow slowly wrinkled, and his voice had a little more weight, “Huh? Soifon? Do you have any other suggestions?”
“Hmm…?”
Soifon raised her head abruptly.
In the next moment, Soifon seemed to have suddenly woken up. She slowly shook her head and said, “No… no… no, it should be said that there are some…”
“…”
Looking at the cautiousness and tension of this 2nd division captain, there was a flash of doubt on the face of each captain. This was not like the appearance of Soifon in the past.
This Soifon…
How could she be lost in thought in such an important meeting?
“I heard just now that we don’t have enough manpower…”
Soifon’s expression gradually returned to normal. Her gaze swept past everyone. Only when she passed Sosuke Aizen did she pause for a second before she slowly moved in another direction.
Soifon slowly placed her palm on the table and softly continued, “If the war between us and those guys is placed in the Soul Society, the large number of Shinigami should be enough to win, but our loss…”
“This is an inevitable sacrifice.”
Yamamoto Shigekuni closed his eyes again and continued softly, “After this meeting, I will order people to visit the Uehara clan and invite Mr. Tobirama of the Uehara clan to come to negotiate and gather all the forces of Seireitei to deal with the invasion of Arrancar Army.”
This was also the reason why Yamamoto Shigekuni had decided to place the battlefield in Soul Society.
If the war were to be placed in the outside world, the Uehara clan might not participate in this war. However, if the war were to happen within Soul Society, the Uehara clan never have been absent from the battle in protecting Soul Society for thousands of years.
After saying this, Yamamoto Shigekuni slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Uehara Naraku who was sitting next to Sosuke Aizen. This family head of the Uehara clan was here, so how could the Uehara clan be absent from this war?
“Yes…”
Soifon nodded and continued softly, “However, there is one more thing I want to say. Yesterday, Onmitsukido observed that Uehara City released Hirako Shinji, Sarugaki Hiyori, Shihoin Yoruichi, and others. We even found traces of Urahara Kisuke’s active presence…”
“Hmm?”
Every captain could not help but have a serious expression.
At this time, Soifon suddenly mentioned this news. What was her intention? Did she think that Urahara Kisuke and Hirako Shinji had some conspiracy?
According to the current information, Gotei 13 believed that Urahara Kisuke and the others had some kind of connection with the Arrancar Army. If the Arrancar Army and Visored joined up, it would indeed add a lot of powerful combat strength to the enemy camp…
Just as the eyes of the people present swept over Soifon and slowly landed on Uehara Naraku, Ukitake Jushiro directly asked, “Lord Uehara Naraku, is there any special reason why the Uehara clan released Hirako Shinji and the others?”
“I don’t know…”
Uehara Naraku shook his head in confusion and said softly, “I remember that Mr. Tobirama and Urahara Kisuke made a deal. It seems that as long as Urahara Kisuke can find the culprit who wants to assassinate me and injured captain by accident…”
“Wait, let me think about it…”
Kyoraku Shunsui tilted his head, rubbed his brows, and said, “In that case, Urahara Kisuke has already found the culprit… No, is there something wrong here? Is it also possible that Urahara Kisuke sneaks into Soul Society?
No, no, Uehara City released Yadomaru Lisa’s group… Is it because Urahara Kisuke has found the culprit who wants to assassinate you?”
“Wait… Did Urahara Kisuke sneak into Soul Society?”
“Could Urahara Kisuke be an accomplice of the Arrancar Army invading Soul Society?”
“Lord Naraku, is there no news from your side? What is this…”
“Sorry, I don’t know…”
Uehara Naraku’s face was full of doubts, and he even looked more confused than the others present, “Sorry, my action has been arranged by Mr. Tobirama for this period of time, and he did not even let me go to the 5th division to continue my duties… If not for the meeting today, Mr. Tobirama would not even agree to let me come.”
Bang!
“Enough!”
Soifon slammed her palm on the table and said in a deep voice, “Forget it, since Lord Naraku doesn’t know the details at all, then there’s no need to waste time talking so much!
Onmitsukido caught Urahara Kisuke yesterday. When I interrogated him about the relationship between him and Arrancar Army… That guy was interrogated by me and found out a secret, a secret that almost overturned the entire Seireitei! “
Soifon’s eyes fell on Sosuke Aizen, and she said in a deep voice, “Captain Aizen, do you have anything to explain now?”
