A Shinobi Awakens - Chapter 77 The Espada

As Ichizo traveled through Hueco Mundo he informed Ulquiorra of the situation, From the true ranking System of Hollows to Aizen’s abilities and ambitions. Everything he would need to know was instilled into him while they also trained, as Ulquiorra was now a naturally created Arrancar he could do much more than just polish his skills. The more they trained the more powerful he became as he was constantly pushed to the limit, Ichizo polished Ulquiorra’s abilities as he would be something similar to Daisuke in this Plane.

Also the more they communicated with throughout the years Ulquiorra became to make more comprehensive ways to achieve Ichizo’s goals as well.

“In order to step into the God realm like you were in Plane 20, going to the Soul Society is necessary indeed. However with the current Head Captain of the Gotei 13 your movements will be extremely limited, as the Royal Family of the Soul Society is detached and after Central 46 will be destroyed he holds supreme power in the Soul Society. After the incident with Aizen the Captains will be under much more severe observation, therefore your connection to Hueco Mundo will come to the Light if he is in power. Not only that but his prejudice of Arrancar seems to stem from fear, as we are so much different from other Hollows we don’t even consider ourselves the same species.”

He Paused then looked up at the moon.

“In some ways it is similar to the humans, it is widely known that humans originated from primates yet the kinship between the two is nonexistent. Fundamentally we can do everything Soul Reapers can when we evolve naturally, yet his elimination of Arrancar and redaction of the Knowledge that Arrancar are evolved Menos Grande shows that in his Heart he has not forgotten the scar that Quincy left when describing the power we could once obtain. Even if you are the Greatest Captain the Gotei 13 has ever had he would paint you as a trader if your connection to Arrancar reached his ears, he must be eliminated and either you of a Puppet you can control must be instated.”

Ichizo listened to his words and indeed thought they made sense, as what he wanted was the Knowledge the Soul Society contained the actual organization was irrelevant. There were a few interesting people but other than that their versatility was much less than Arrancar as they required Hundreds of years of training while Arrancar were at that level upon evolution.

“If you can Eliminate him you may be able to integrate the two worlds slightly more by creating something similar to the stealth force with Arrancars at the helm. Then stimulate an informational revolution changing the way Soul reapers view Arrancar, That human Ichigo will be the pioneer if you can train him from young.”

Ichizo nodded at Ulquiorra’s words as they indeed made sense, so he added on.

“I could also research how the Soul Reapers eliminated the Hollows with potential to evolve, find that designation recreating the Hollows of old.”

“Until then we will have to bide our time and act like true members of Aizen’s Arrancar army.”

During their talk they arrived in a truly empty area of Hueco Mundo where not even Hollows scurred about. Only thing visible in the ever expanding desert was a Single Vasto Lorde wrapped in a cloak sitting in the sand.

“A Vasto Lorde in the eastern part of Hueco Mundo, I never thought I would see the day.”

“Yes, the reishi composition of the area is extremely low only low class hollows decide to take up residence here.”

Hearing the two voices the Vasto Lorde turned in the direction in which they came and Looked closely at the two that had no resemblance of Hollows he usually sees with the exception of the Hollow holes that were clearly visible.

“You must have had it hard your reiatsu killed off all the newly created hollows in this area.”

“He must have sat here alone for many years just look at those eyes, I had those same eyes years ago.”

“Ulquiorra tell him what I have in mind.”

While Ulquiorra handled the recruitment Ichizo thought about the Timeline the 30 years he set is almost over, It is now time to return to Los Noches.

———————————————————————————————————————

When Ichizo’s Group returned to Los Noches, Aizen was there as well and the Espada were finally similar to what they were in the Anime of course some minor Changes due to Ichizo’s interference. This List is as follows:

Espada Cero(0): Ichizo Sentori

Espada Primera(1): Ulquiorra Cifer

Espada Segunda(2): Nelliel tu Odelschwanck

Espada Tres(3): Coyote Stark

Espada Quarto(4): Tier Harribel

Espada Quinto(5): Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez

Espada Sexta(6): Luppi Antenor

Espada Septima(7): Nnoitra Gilga

Espada Octava(8): Szayelaporro Granz

Espada Noveno(9): Aaroniero Arruruerie

We all sat at a long conference table with Aizen at on end with Gin Standing on the Right and Kaname on the left. At the the other end was Ichizo as Espada Cero then the rest of the seats were filled with the other espada as they pleased. Ulquiorra, Stark, Nel, Grimmjow and Aaroniero Arruruerie were all brought to my side therefore they naturally tried to sick to me while the others are completely oblivious to the situation as they thought we were just close.

“Have you all received a cup of tea?” Aizen then looked around the room as everyone had tea placed in front of them yet no one touched it with the exception of Ichizo whom was an avid tea enthusiast. “Good, My plans have almost been completed once I am finished in the Soul Society we will be moving on to our next phase which is gathering materials to create the Oken. After I obtain the Hogyoku the remaining members of the Army will be made into Arrancar, I have to thank Espada Cero for speeding up that process by doing it for the majority of the Espada. As the King of Hueco Mundo your methods are quiet mysterious.”

“Yes, when sitting in this dark world for nearly a millennia you of course gain some skills.”

Aizen once again narrowed his eyes, if you take it another way he was tactfully calling Aizen unskilled for not being able to do something so simple. Yet Ichizo just continued to drink his tea as if nothing in the world could compare to it’s delicious taste. Aizen pressured him with his Reiatsu yet Ichizo remained unfazed as he drank his tea.

“Aizen remember I joined this army to alleviate boredom so don’t bore me with such politics, I will do what I have to do.”
