Upon seeing Gyuki's attitude, Yoruichi Shihouin immediately frowned.
The other party's hostility is already quite obvious.
"Hehe, Mr. Ox-Demon is overthinking things."
Urahara Kisuke remained unfazed by this, instead laughing exaggeratedly as he said, "Actually, both Tessai and I were framed for serious crimes and imprisoned. We only escaped with Yoruichi's help."
"traitor"
"Please watch your words, sir!"
The silent Tetsuzhai warned with an unfriendly expression.
Upon hearing this, Niu Gui, feeling bored, suppressed his laughter and said coldly, "Alright, I'm too lazy to waste any more words with you."
If you represent Soul Society, the Nura Clan might be willing to communicate with you, but please don't involve us in such internal conflicts.
Don't think that we avoid your Grim Reaper's gaze because we're afraid. It's just that we don't want to start a war. Otherwise, even if it were the entire Gotei 13, our Nura Clan wouldn't be afraid!
A faint purple energy was faintly visible.
Urahara Kisuke and the other two were all somewhat surprised; the strength of this Gyuki in front of them was definitely at the level of a captain.
Despite their apparent numerical advantage, they are not there to fight.
Besides, the Nura Clan is a large and powerful family; who knows how many strongmen like Gyuki they have?
On a smaller scale, even if other yokai are not as strong as Gyu-oni, at least the first and current captains of the Nura Clan have the strength of a captain or higher.
For a moment, Kisuke Urahara realized he had acted impulsively.
Having lived in the human world for so many years, their captain's strength naturally enabled him to discover the yokai hidden there. After several years of investigation, he finally learned about the Nura Clan, the largest force among the yokai.
Suspecting a possible connection between the Nura Clan and the Soul Society, Kisuke Urahara led a group to investigate. They hoped the Nura Clan could help them clear their names and expose Aizen's true identity.
Even if that doesn't work, they still want to win over the Nura Clan so they can help them fight against Aizen in the future.
As it turned out, he inadvertently misjudged one thing.
As a member of the Nura Clan, who roam freely among yokai, he, as an individual with a personal stance, is not entitled to be treated equally by the Nura Clan.
The other party is not a weakling who can be easily fooled or won over; rash actions may lead to even worse consequences.
Having figured this out, Kisuke Urahara sighed, stopped Yoruichi and the other person, and said in a deep voice, "..."
We were reckless this time, but from what I know, that man will probably also be paying attention to your Nura Clan.
That… terrifying man is extremely dangerous. You can distrust us, but when the time comes, we hope you can calmly accept our discussion.”
"Let's go."
They didn't elaborate on the details of their defection from Soul Society, nor did they elaborate on Aizen's threat level.
Kisuke Urahara knew very well that the man in front of him wouldn't listen to anything he said at that moment.
Therefore, he only needs to give a proper reminder. As long as Aizen takes action against the demons one day, they will naturally take it seriously.
Unless Aizen completely ignores a major power in the world, but based on Urahara Kisuke's understanding, yokai would definitely pique Aizen's interest.
Yoruichi and the other person hesitated, but in the end, Wang Dezhao shook his head and left with Urahara Kisuke.
Watching their retreating figures, Niu Gui revealed a deep, sneer.
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he knew that the other party wanted to use the Nura Clan's power.
He didn't want to discuss any further with them about a deal that, while he didn't know if there were any benefits, would definitely require some sacrifice.
The alliance between the Nura Clan and the Soul Society is actually quite fragile, and it is completely unnecessary to offend the Soul Society for the sake of a few scoundrels.
However, the cunning Ushiki still remembered Urahara Kisuke's words.
"A dangerous man, huh? The Nura Clan is no pushover. But it's about time Rihan had a few more kids. The Nurarihyon bloodline is excellent, you know."
Too many banquets during the Chinese New Year led to excessive drinking, resulting in acute gastroenteritis and gastric mucosal bleeding.
I'm updating despite my injuries, and I'm not saying this to elicit sympathy, but I hope everyone can understand regarding the recent update schedule.
Chapter 146 What a wicked adult! 12/12
"Hey, Kisuke! You're just leaving like that? What were we even doing here today?!"
"No travel"
Thump! "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Don't get agitated!"
Kisuke Urahara, clutching the back of his head, looked at Yoruichi, who was clearly annoyed, and chuckled, "I misjudged this time. It's probably pointless to try and get another chance to talk."
The Nura Clan is so powerful and wealthy that we are inherently unqualified to negotiate fairly.
Secondly, neither asking them to help us uncover the truth nor fighting Aizen is of any benefit to the Nura Clan at present.
They won't take this risk unless they can be guaranteed greater returns.
Yoruichi fell into deep thought and nodded in agreement.
As the head of the Shihōin family, she was actually quite understanding of such things; it was just that she often thought about things from a personal perspective, which caused her to subconsciously overlook them.
"That doesn't make sense. If you knew that, why did you bring us here?"
Suddenly, Yoruichi revealed a sinister smile.
Urahara Kisuke: ""
Can he say that he initially only thought that the Nura Clan could help them, and overlooked the factor of 550?
Actually, it wasn't that he completely ignored it; the main problem was that he underestimated the Nura Clan, believing that he could persuade them to see Aizen's hidden worries about demons and thus reconcile their positions through his eloquence.
In reality, he couldn't gain the upper hand in the verbal exchange during this meeting.
If you have no relationship with them and can't offer them any benefits, who would be so bored as to help you?
Of course, as a scientific researcher, he quickly devised a new plan.
If there's no connection, then build one! If there's no benefit, then proactively create one! "Urahara Store"
A plan gradually took shape in his mind.
Monsters need to absorb the "fear" of humans.
He could then create and sell atmosphere-building devices that help scare people.
For example, many monsters cannot blend into human society because of their appearance.
Therefore, he could design a yokai version of the Gikai! West Rukongai, a deserted wasteland.
"The technology behind portable prosthetics is really complicated."
Holding the thin-skinned doll, Aizen sighed softly and channeled spiritual pressure into its pores with his fingers.
Hua Hua Hua.
Another "doll" that looks exactly like him
It takes shape completely as the airflow surges.
"Lord Aizen is truly amazing."
"It's a pity it's fake."
Lori and Kiyohime, who were standing nearby, both shared their opinions.
Upon returning to Soul Society, Aizen did not bring Kiyohime and the others back to the Spirit Court. Instead, he went back to the Fifth Division alone to collect some materials and resources before reuniting with them.
It took three full days of dedicated research and development focused on portability, and with a general direction in mind, to finally create a "portable prosthetic body."
.
However, it's unclear whether his portable prosthetic body differs from the one Kisuke Urahara created in the future.
After all, Aizen only borrowed the other party's research direction, and did not have accurate research data like the Black Cloak to replicate it.
The Fake "Indigo Dye"
His eyes were lifeless, and there was no spiritual pressure energy on his body.
Furthermore, it has no defects in appearance whatsoever.
Having confirmed this, Aizen smiled with satisfaction, looking at the "Portable Artifact" that appeared on his personal panel.
Without hesitation, he used his Best Actor rating.
After spending all remaining 500 Actor Points, the portable prosthetic body of the Class 1 finally underwent a new transformation.
Portable prosthetic body: A prosthetic body that can be worn by anyone and can simulate a spirit state.
Compared to the original prosthetic body, the upgraded prosthetic body has very few additional abilities.
One advantage is that anyone can wear it; there's no strict requirement for it to be suitable for everyone.
It's not that only indigo dyeing can be worn.
The remains of the deceased.
The other is a seemingly unimportant ability.
Artificial bodies are essentially "physical cloaks" that allow the Grim Reaper to appear in the eyes of humans.
Indirectness is equivalent to "the human body".
It is something that is easily seen through and is not a spirit.
That's basically enough.
Aizen looked at the scene before him, which appeared "unchanged."
The doll nodded, seemingly satisfied with the result.
Although it doesn't simulate any aura or presence, it's at least good enough as a low-quality version of a transformation technique.
"Kiyohime."
"Hi, it's the kind and gentle Kiyohime here!"
Ignoring Kiyohime's deliberate attempt to act cute, Aizen gently stroked her hair, a smile devoid of any emotion in his eyes as he said, "When I'm not in Soul Society, I hope Kiyohime can take my place in the Fifth Division."
"You don't need to show yourself often; just avoid combat as much as possible."
"Eh"
Kiyohime, whose face was flushed, suddenly paused, frowning in distress, and said, "Lord Aizen, are you asking me to lie? This is such an unpleasant order."
Please.
"Well"
Looking at Aizen's gentle smile, Kiyohime fell into silence.
Now she finally understood Aizen's purpose in bringing her back: to cover for him in his frequent absences from the Soul Society.
Seeing her hesitate, Lori, her rival, immediately lit up and said, "Lord Aizen! If she's unwilling, I can do it too! Besides, compared to this woman, I know more about Aizen over the years, so I'll definitely act more convincingly!"
Aizen smiled without saying a word.
It was precisely because Lori knew him better than most that this job couldn't be given to her.
Because Lori's role will only be that of "Aizen Kaeru".
It was a man, not the "Captain of the Fifth Division".
Moreover, there was another reason why he entrusted this task to Kiyohime.
Provoked, Kiyohime immediately banished her thoughts, brandishing her fan with a furious rage and shouting, "Who said I wasn't willing! Remember, from now on, please address me as Lord Aizen!"
After refuting her argument, Kiyohime looked at Aizen with a complicated expression.
"Do you want to sever Kiyohime's aversion to deception by making her fall into the darkness of lies yourself? What a wicked adult you are."
"I'm sorry, Kiyohime."
Without denying it, Aizen gently hugged Kiyohime, his eyes showing no wavering or fluctuation.
Kiyohime paused for a moment, then smiled gently, her pretty face flushed, and hugged Aizen back, saying, "Alright, who told Kiyohime to run into Lord Aizen?"
Therefore, Kiyohime's only request was that the master not lie to her; that was all.
Lori watched this scene with gritted teeth; if Menori hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have drawn her dagger and started fighting.
My stomach still hurts, I still feel awful, I'm desperate.
