Chapter 176: The Truth Revealed

After Ichigo handed Rukia to Renji, Renji took her away from Sōkyoku Hill quickly. He ran between the cliffs and was about to leave Sōkyoku Hill. However, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared in front of him blocking his way.

Captain of Ninth Division, Tousen Kaname.

Renji only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then he returned to the Sōkyoku. In front of him was the familiar figure of Aizen, as well as Gin and Kaname who stood beside him.

"Captain Aizen... you are still alive?"

"What on earth is going on?"

Renji looked puzzled.

Immediately afterwards, under his unbelievable eyes, Aizen suddenly swung his sword at him, even though Renji instinctively dodged, he was still hit by Aizen's sword and was seriously injured on the spot.

He didn't understand why the survived Aizen would attack him, and why Ichimaru Gin, the vice-captain of the Third Division, and Tousen Kaname, the captain of the Ninth Division, would stand with Aizen like subordinates.

At that moment, strips of blue spiritual power flew out from a distance, and then quickly condensed into a net-like reiatsu structure in the sky and scattered away. In an instant, it tracked the shinigamis scattered all over Seireitei, and it was also perceived by them including Renji.

The voice of Kotetsu Isane, vice-captain of the Fourth Division, came from the giant reiatsu net in the sky. "Here is the urgent information delivered by Captain Unohana. From now what I am about to tell is all true. It has been confirmed that the vice-captain of the Third Division, Ichimaru Gin, the captain of the Fifth Division, Aizen Sōsuke, and the captain of the Ninth Division, Tousen Kaname, have rebelled and have now gone to the site of Sōkyoku. Central 46 is dead, killed by them. Their target is Kuchiki Rukia, please go to support as soon as possible."

"What?!"

Renji was already shocked by the fact that Aizen was not dead and shot at him. But now, when he heard Isane's words, his expression changed completely. He was about to hug Rukia, but Aizen moved a little faster than him. He lifted Rukia in his arms, and then walked slowly towards the Sōkyoku. Of course, Renji tried his best to stop him. He wanted to hug Aizen's legs and delay Aizen's pace.

However, there was one person who moved faster than him.

It was Kaname, he kicked Renji faraway with a random kick.

The three figures took Rukia together and walked slowly towards the spear of Sōkyoku.

…

At the same time.

Everywhere in Seireitei, Isane's words were heard.

Yamamoto who was facing Shunsui, Jushiro, Kaein, and Ashido without the slightest disadvantage of facing one against four. After hearing the information about Aizen and others, the five stopped at the same time.

Shunsui sighed, "It seems that there is no need to continue."

Jushiro frowned, "Unexpectedly, Aizen is not dead and according to the turn of events, all these turmoil are obviously planned by him from the dark."

Yamamoto was also a little angry when he learned the truth.

He glanced at Jushiro and said, "Your Thirteenth Division is really full of talents."

In today's battle, he saw Kaein and Ashido's battle strength.

Jushiro didn't know how to respond.

Yamamoto said again, "Let's go to the hill of Sōkyoku. No matter what Aizen wants to do, we will never tolerate his schemes' success."

…

In the jungle.

Even though Sui Feng successfully caught Yoruichi, Yoruichi still babbled and instead asked Sui Feng when she hooked up with Mazuru.

Sui Feng was very annoyed, and because of Yoruichi's words, her face was stained with a blush.

At that moment, Isane's voice came.

Mazuru got up immediately, a little angry, "Gin is a traitor?! And Aizen is the mastermind behind everything!"

He didn't wait for Sui Feng to speak, and said to Sui Feng first, "You look after Yoruichi, I'll go to the hill of Sōkyoku."

Just as Sui Feng was about to say 'I'll go with you', Mazuru who seemed to be angry at "Gin's betrayal", in an instant burst out his speed to the ultimate, and quickly headed towards Sōkyoku Hill.

…

On Sōkyoku Hill.

Komamura Sajin, the captain of the Seventh Division, who was originally going to witness the execution of Rukia with his friend Kaname, but because Zaraki Kenpachi blocked them, they arrived at Sōkyoku much later. Then, he was going to support the battle on the hill, but his friend Kaname deliberately slowed down because of something.

He didn't take it seriously, and went to Sōkyoku Hill alone.

However, before he intervened in the battle, he heard Isane's words, which made Sajin's dog-headed complexion suddenly changed. He never thought that he would come to know that Kaname had become a traitor just after parting with his friend for a while.

(T.L Note: I don't know what dog-headed complexion means but it struck me as funny so I kept it as it is)

Then he saw four figures appearing on Sōkyoku Hill, well, to be precise, it should be three, because Rukia was carried by Aizen by the neck.

After Isane's contact was over, Sajin looked at Aizen who was carrying Rukia, and immediately roared with anger, "Aizen!!"

Then he looked at Kaname who was following Aizen, "Tousen, what are you doing? Why are you following this man?"

Because Isane spoke very clearly and also emphasized the truth of the matter, Sajin didn't hesitate at all, and immediately swung his sword to attack Aizen.

Aizen felt Sajin's attack approaching and without the slightest panic, he said lightly, "Hadō #90 — Kurohitsugi"

The signature Kurohitsugi was released by Aizen, instantly engulfing Sajin.

After the Kurohitsugi disappeared, Sajin was lying on the ground with injuries all over his body, unable to fight back.

Aizen didn't have the slightest complacency about incapacitating a captain in one move. He continued to carry Rukia, walked to the open space, and then took out a strange device. He was going to use that device to take out something from Rukia's spirit body.

At that same moment, a cold and stern female voice sounded.

"Hadō #31 —— Shakkahō!"

A huge fireball flew towards Aizen.

However, before it got close, it was cut open by a Zanpakuto.

Gin held his Zanpakuto, looked at Nanao who unleashed the Shakkahō, and said, "Here is another fish that slipped through the net."

"It stands to reason that with the relationship between you and my captain, I shouldn't attack you, but right now, since I have already chose to betray, then it doesn't matter either way."

Gin said lightly.

His Zanpakuto was aimed at Nanao, and a cold voice came out of his mouth, "Shoot to kill, Shinsō!"

Nanao's heart suddenly trembled.

After Unohana left with the wounded, she did not leave Sōkyoku Hill. The reason was that Shunsui and Mazuru left from there for various reasons. So on the Sōkyoku Hill, she continued to watch the battle between Ichigo and Byakuya.

As a result, she just heard a message from Isane, and Aizen, the traitor who faked his own death, showed up with his entourage and Rukia.

She felt that she should do something, so she attacked without hesitation, but what greeted her was Gin's fierce counterattack.

Shinsō becomes longer in an instant, and was about to stab Nanao.

Just then, another sword appeared beside Shinsō, slashing it aside.

"Ichimaru Gin, you traitor, you let me down!"

Mazuru's figure appeared beside Nanao, and he looked at Gin "angrily".
