Chapter 1191 Chain Removal part 2
"That's interesting... Mind telling us more?" Furoufushi Saitou came walking in with an amused expression. Behind her was Chika Shihouin who was also sporting an interested look.
Batsu'unsai turned her body towards their direction, "You're back. Any news about Yachiru?"
Furoufushi shook her head, "We found another lead, but it's also another dead end."
"Did Yachiru develop a skill like this to hide herself as the first Kenpachi?" Chika asked Choujirou.
"All she had to do was hold back to keep her identity. It's most likely that she's with Ukitake Juushirou, a man with many skills but held back by his illness-ridden body since his childhood."
"Ukitake?" Batsu'unsai repeated, "Ah... I remember him. He's one of the old man's students. He stands out because of how frail he is."
"If he's with her, then we don't have to worry about them for now," Choujirou added.
"That much, huh..." Furoufushi rubbed her chin in contemplation, "Alright. I'll trust you and reallocate the manpower we have to defend."
"Defending? What's going on?" Batsu'unsai furrowed her brows, "Are we under attack?" Furoufushi nodded, "The Beasts of Hell have been rampaging these past few days and attacking settlements. It's probably because of that Szayelaporro guy, but it's nothing we can't handle. Reallocating our resources is just an additional measure so we won't be caught off guard."
She then approached and stood beside Batsu'unsai, "More importantly, I'm interested in this Urahara Kisuke guy, since what you're saying is that he's capable of turning Soul Society inside out."
Choujirou didn't say anything for a few moments to gather his thoughts, "Since I died before the war with the Quincy started, I only knew things that Ichimaru told me. Even then, he only gathered that information from those [Chained]."
"Basically speaking, he is someone who could pose as much danger as Sosuke Aizen if not more."
"You mean the guy that you told us before that the old man can't defeat?"
Choujirou nodded, "That's right. We were only able to contain him thanks to Urahara Kisuke's help. In the first place, Sosuke Aizen was only able to complete his research because Urahara Kisuke researched the same thing. If he had the ambition, he could become the second coming of that immortal monster.
"According to Ichimaru, Urahara Kisuke and Shihouin Yoruichi also died during the war but the Seireitei couldn't perform the ceremony for them because their bodies were nowhere to be found. It was assumed they were dissolved by their opponent's very potent poison."
"Yoruichi?" Chika's interest was piqued once again.
"The former head of the Shihouin Clan and a descendant of your sister. Both she and Urahara Kisuke are individuals that vastly exceed an average Gotei 13 Captain so we should be searching for them too."
Furoufushi and Chika wanted to ask more but Batsu'unsai suddenly turned around. With light footsteps, a man in a white suit and mask appeared and said, "You don't have to search for them since it'd be a complete waste of effort."
"...Belial. When did you come back?" Furoufushi also turned around and asked.
"Just now. And it's good that everyone is here. I'd like to attempt to remove the chains now." Kisuke went straight to the point because he didn't want them to ask more about him and Yoruichi, 'Looks like Saitou-san and Shihouin-san wanted me to reveal my identity to them, but not right now.'
Choujirou immediately stood up and asked, "You found a way!?"
"I did." Kisuke nodded his head, "Actually, I already know how to do it for a few months now. It's just that I don't know what's going to happen next if I artificially remove it."
"You mean there are risks?"
"Of course there are. There is some sort of system in place for one to naturally remove them just like these people. It seems that they have to enter some sort of enlightenment before they can remove the chains themselves. I just don't know what's going to happen when I bypass that system. Though this could have been so much easier if we had the Hougyoku since we can just follow Ichimaru Gin-san's example."
"Now that you're proposing to remove the chains, what are the risks?"
"To be frank, I still don't know much and all of my test subjects are the Beasts of Hell so I'm confident that it'll translate well to you guys."
"Yet you still wanted to do it?" This time, it was Chika who spoke up, "What's the hurry?"
Kisuke then shrugged his shoulders, "I've always been in a hurry and now that my research has been stagnating, I don't want to waste my time anymore by not taking risks. And to be perfectly honest, I really don't care what happens to you a lot. I just thought that helping you out might prove useful in the long run."
Kisuke has been away for far too long. Although he told Yoruichi and the others that it might take him several years, he didn't really intend to take that long, 'If I could at least get Aizen or Yhwach's cooperation, then it'll be enough.'
For the former, Kisuke just needs compelling bait and he's pretty sure that Aizen will willingly take a few steps in the direction he wants. Yhwach on the other hand, Kisuke has to solve the fundamental problem of this world. And compared to Aizen who can hopefully decimate the Etouldes, Yhwach is actually more useful against the 'Big Bad Evil' known as Melvazoa, the leader of the Evies, 'That's only if the information Azazel-san and the others received from the [future] is accurate, though.'
"Useful? In what sense?" Batsu'unsai asked with a frown.
Still being honest, Kisuke answered, "You see, I have potential enemies. If I could have the help of the Shinigamis, Hollows, Quincies, and Fullbringers, they'll think twice about making an enemy out of me."
The Evies don't have an army that could hurt the bottom line of the Etouldes, but that's not the same case for Kisuke who could practically gather slayers of Spiritual Power.
"I'll be your guinea pig." Choujirou suddenly said.
Kisuke became quiet for a moment before asking, "You're not going to ask anymore?"
"This will speed up the process, right? Just do it so that we can move on. If it's safe, then we could finally pull Ejisai from his bindings."
Kisuke sighed and then smiled, "Alright. That's what I wanted to propose doing first and since you're offering it now, I won't hesitate anymore. Be ready for everything, including if your mind is erased and descending into a simple beast. In a sense, that's worse than death."
"I'm ready."
