A Shinobi Awakens - Chapter 81 A Little History Lesson

Making his way to the Conference room Ichizo walked leisurely as today was the day Aizen will defect as he already informed us all the day Prior. The year spent Hueco Mundo after he left the world of the Living was uneventful as the Espada already gathered the required Hollows for Aizen while Ichizo was away.

As the First to Arrive in the conference room Ichizo sat in his seat then ordered a Hollow to bring him tea as the others slowly trickled in.

“Oi! Lord Ichizo was the first to Arrive! Is there no longer a Moon in the sky of Hueco Mundo?!” -Nnoitra

“Haha that’s Actually the best joke you have ever said Nnoitra” -Luppi

“And it’s actually true too. I think this is the Second meeting i’ve seen him at” -Szayelaporro

“All of you shut your mouths even Lord Aizen doesn’t dare joke like that with Lord Ichizo, he doesn’t even mention his absence from meetings!”-Tier

“Yet out of them all you are the one that pointed it out the Loudest, just take a seat and shut up. The seat on the right of Lord Ichizo is mine so don’t even dare.”- Ulquiorra

Walking into the room chatting among themselves the Espada took their seats as Ichizo drank his tea ignoring their nonsense waiting for Aizen to arrive with the Hogyoku as things will get far more interesting. If you ever find yourself with everlasting life make sure you fill it with something meaningful.

A few moments later a Garganta opened up and Aizen,Gin, and Kaname walked out and into the conference room. Aizen held the Hogyoku in his hand as he sat down in the head seat.

“Good All of you are here. We can now begin amassing the army I have in mind, Yammy bring in the Adjucha.”

After being in a group of 50 or so Adjucha, Aizen began turning them all into Arrancar as the each were assigned a number in the order of their birth starting from 11 as 10 and below were reserved for the Espada. From there each Espada 10 to 5 were given 4 of Arrancar to command while 0-4 were given 5.

“The number of Arrancar I can make with the Hogyoku during a certain time period is limited so that is all for today. As time goes on i will create more to make life comfortable for you all, after some time we also will begin scouting missions. I will go into depth at a later date.”

Aizen and Kaname left while Gin stayed behind and began to chat with the Espada. For some odd reason Gin and Luppi hit it off pretty well as they began to chat about all kinds of things.

Taking this opportunity Ichizo walked to Gin whispered in his ear then walked to the Moonlit palace as Gin stood there looking at his back with his eyes open. Finishing up his conversation with Luppi he walked to the Moonlit palace as well.

Ichizo had his servants prepare Tea and other refreshments as he sat on the couch waiting for Gin to arrive.

When Gin Arrived he sat down next to Ichizo and they began to chat.

“What do you mean by you can recover what she lost?”

“I Know you hate Aizen, I know that the reason you became a Soul Reaper is because you wanted to Kill him with your own hands, and I know that he took a vast majority of Rangiku’s soul and spirit energy.”

“How?!”

“Child I have lived for a Thousand years all knowledge of the Soul Society made it’s way to my ears during that time period.”

“Mhmm”

“If you want I can give you that chance all I need you to do is make a promise.”

Like the Devil offering you to sell your soul Ichizo pulled at Gin’s Heart strings. Gin Opened his pale blue eyes and looked at him, Grabbing Ichizo’s hands he began to beg.

“WHAT IS IT? I WILL DO ANYTHING!”

“Calm down, calm down, All I need you to do is become a Captain again.”

“That’s it?”

“Yup.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Why?”

“If I were to Rank the current Captains besides the Head Captain, you and Aizen were the strongest out of the Captains due to their complacency, while you two were prepared for war at anytime. Jushiro Ukitake is dying, Retsu Unohana has become a Nurse, Shunsui Kyoraku is a Playboy, and the list goes on they have become glorified after that Old Man turned for the better. In their Glory thinking they reign supreme they neglected their training as they have lived in a period of peace. Everyone knows if you want peace you must be prepared for War!”

Gin stayed Silent as he thought Ichizo’s words make sense.

“Let me give you a little History lesson. About 2000 years Ago the Gotei 13 while not official yet was merely a Band of killers With Yamamoto at it helm. 1001 years ago a Quincy by the name of Yhwach decided to invade the Soul Society and made a Deal with the Arrancar to invade together. Yamamoto caught wind of it and eliminated the Arrancar with his “Defenders” I was born 1 year after that. The Year I was born Yamamoto formally established the Gotei 13, fighting that Quincy yet failing to kill him. Between 1000 and 200 years ago Yamamoto carried out a mass extermination of the Quincy to prevent the destruction of this World.”

Gin was intrigued as this Information wasn’t taught in the Academy.

“The Captains that remember the Old Yamamoto were cast out or Promoted so their actions would never be known. So Yamamoto trained new Captains at the Academy he created, Kyoraku, Ukitake, and Unohana were the first of these Captains. That was also about 200 years ago, So while he sits in his office thinking everything is fine he forgets the Enemy he failed to kill after wiping out that man’s Clan. If it were you who lost, cast to the side, then your clan was exterminated what would you do once you got powerful enough?”

“Take Revenge.”

“So are we truly at Peace?”

Gin subconsciously shakes his head no, as the information he was just given was far from the word peace.

“If a Soul Reaper Captain believes the Head Captain is not fit to lead he or she may challenge him to a Konzetsu no Shiai(Eradication Match) and the Winner becomes the Head Captain. This Rule is as Old as the Gotei 13 itself. When I challenge him I will reinstate you. Today is August 6th, 2001 the day of Rukia Kuchiki’s “execution”, Starting next month we will begin to invade the world of the Living right?”

“It would appear nothing escapes your eyes Mr.Cero I wonder how you acquired this information when for the past 40 years you have barely been in Los Noches.”

“I have my sources. Moving on, On November 1st we will Invade the world of the living to create the Oken As the required time for the Hogyoku to awaken is shortened due to Aizen’s massive Reiatsu. So on that day Aizen will have taken his last Breath , Therefore If you want the ability to kill him yourself I have the skills to give you that ability.”

Gin’s eyes opened wide as he already accepted in his heart.
