Chapter 43
Suspicions (4/5)

“It should be said… close to zero! Those two people’s words!”

Genji Takamitsu was stunned by Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni’s words. He hadn’t expected the stubborn Captain-Commander to give such an answer.

But this was good news!

Then, Genji Takamitsu grinned and said, “Ah! Indeed! Not to mention Kisuke Urahara, the new Captain of the 12th Division with a bright future, even Yoruichi Shihouin, the current head of the Shihouin family, one of the four noble houses, it’s completely impossible for them to betray!”

“I think, after saying so much, Captain-Commander, you should know what I want to say!”

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni’s aura condensed, his eyes as sharp as torches, he looked at Genji Takamitsu and said in a deep voice, “How can you prove it? Is there a mastermind behind this?!”

Genji Takamitsu shook his head and said regretfully, “I’m sorry, I have no evidence!”

Indeed, although Genji Takamitsu knew the mastermind was Sōsuke Aizen, he had no evidence!

Although the Gotei 13 is a violent group, it still needs evidence to convict someone!

Especially someone like Sōsuke Aizen who possessed the Zanpaku-tō "Kyōka Suigetsu" that could control the five senses.

Even with evidence, it might not be possible to prove anything.

It would only fall into a dead loop of relevant evidence!

Looking at Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni who remained silent again, Genji Takamitsu knew that the Captain-Commander was waiting for the investigation results of Shunsui Kyōraku and Jushiro Ukitake.

No matter how reasonable Genji Takamitsu’s words were, without actual investigation results, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni would not be swayed by him.

“I understand! You go to the side hall and rest!”

As soon as Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni finished speaking, 雀步长次郎 opened the door of his office, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Genji Takamitsu smiled, his lips curving upwards. He knew he hadn’t dispelled Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni’s doubts.

But he wasn’t worried!

Although the two captains sent to investigate were Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni’s direct disciples, Shunsui Kyōraku and Jushiro Ukitake both owed Genji Takamitsu a favor.

Moreover, he was barely involved in this matter!

Genji Takamitsu shrugged indifferently and followed 雀步长次郎 out of the Captain-Commander’s office!

On the other hand, Shunsui Kyōraku and Jushiro Ukitake split up to investigate.

Shunsui Kyōraku went to the scene of the incident, the Rukongai!

While Jushiro Ukitake went to the 12th Division’s Technical Development Bureau!

“Captain Ukitake, are you suspecting that Kisuke Urahara, that guy, left something behind in the 12th Division?” Nēmu asked in a sarcastic tone.

Jushiro Ukitake laughed, explaining, “It’s just a guess! If this was done by Kisuke, then would the incident in the Rukongai have been within his expectations? If not, then perhaps there might be something left behind. After all, who can say for sure about unforeseen events? What do you think, Vice-Director Nēmu?”

“Tch! Whatever! Just don’t interrupt my research!” Nēmu said, somewhat displeased.

After saying this, Nēmu ignored Jushiro Ukitake and walked into his laboratory on his own.

It was unclear whether his displeasure was directed at Kisuke Urahara or this investigation?!

“Captain, do you think Vice-Captain Genji is involved? Was Vice-Captain Yachiru’s death…” Ise Nanao, now the 3rd Seat of the 8th Division, asked Shunsui Kyōraku.

“Shhh…”

Shunsui Kyōraku covered Nanao’s mouth with his finger and said jokingly, “This matter hasn’t been settled yet, Nanao… these words… can’t be said carelessly now!”

Nanao said unconvinced, “But…”

“Alright!” Shunsui Kyōraku stopped Nanao again who was about to speak.

“Let’s investigate the scene first! Nanao! We’re here!”

Nanao, reminded by Shunsui Kyōraku, finally saw the ruined district of the Rukongai in front of her.

“This… this… unbelievable… such a huge destructive power!?” Nanao covered her mouth in surprise!

Shunsui Kyōraku narrowed his eyes and looked around.

“Sassa”

A gust of wind mixed with dust blew by…

Only a field of craters and ruins could be seen.

Although the district wasn’t prosperous, it was definitely not this dilapidated.

“Sigh…” Shunsui Kyōraku sighed and muttered to himself, “It’s really… a troublesome time!”

Then, Shunsui Kyōraku’s Reiatsu slightly vibrated, and after fully sensing the situation within the range of the ruins, he walked in with a serious expression.

“Captain…” Nanao called out fearfully.

“Nanao, there’s no danger. This piece of ruins is completely safe now. It’s just… we need to figure out… who the mastermind behind this… is… that’s all…”

“Gulp…”

Nanao swallowed hard and then, with a burst of courage, followed behind Shunsui Kyōraku.

Seeing Nanao like this, Shunsui Kyōraku smiled inwardly but didn’t say anything.

Walking casually through this piece of ruins in the Rukongai, Shunsui Kyōraku and Nanao looked around.

Because of the large-scale destruction, the basic appearance of the scene was unrecognizable. So, Shunsui Kyōraku’s goal was to find some subtle clues in the ruins.

“This is…”

Suddenly, Nanao showed a look of disbelief.

“What’s wrong? Nanao…” Shunsui Kyōraku asked.

“Captain… in this air, I felt… that terrifying Reiatsu left behind by the Kidō!”

“Kidō?!” Shunsui Kyōraku was slightly surprised.

Nanao nodded and continued, “That’s right! I believe I’m not mistaken! Here… someone… must have used super-scale Kidō!”

For a moment, Shunsui Kyōraku narrowed his eyes and asked again, “Super-scale Kidō? What number Kidō? Can you sense it?”

“I’ll try again!”

Nanao, saying this, released her Reiatsu again and began to sense!

With her immense perception, Nanao seemed to have seen the scene of the Reiatsu clashing the moment the Kidō was released.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a loud noise rang in her mind, directly jolting awake the sensing Nanao.

Shunsui Kyōraku, seeing Nanao who suddenly had a nosebleed, was somewhat surprised and quickly said, “Are you alright? Nanao! Why do you have a nosebleed?”

Nanao slowly opened her closed eyes, wiping her nose with her right hand…

Looking at the bright red blood on her finger, Nanao said, “Unbelievable… unbelievable… such a vast Reiatsu!”
