at the same time.
The outer side of the raging flames.
The real Gin Ichimaru, dressed in a black robe, smiled and said, "How strange. I'm smiling so kindly, so why does he dislike me?"
Tosen Kaname snorted coldly and said, "Lord Aizen has sent word that we should return as soon as possible to dispel their suspicions."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Gin Ichimaru smiled and agreed.
Just as Soi Fon finally decided to take action and test Gin Ichimaru.
Kuchiki Byakuya also drew his Zanpakuto, his spiritual pressure spreading out, his gaze remaining cold and calm as he fixed his gaze on the silent Tosen Kaname.
But one person was faster than all of them.
"Shh!"
There was a flash of silver light.
Just heard a loud roar.
A giant crack was cleaved in the earth.
The ring of flames, which covered nearly a hundred meters, even had a huge gap, almost being severed.
All the Shinigami captains were stunned by this strike, staring in shock at Retsu Unohana, who was wielding the blade.
They were then horrified to discover that, with this single strike, the gentle-looking "Aizen Sousuke" had his arm severed.
Blood rained down from the sky.
The severed arm slammed heavily onto the ground.
Kyoraku Shunsui was startled and instinctively looked at Unohana Retsu:
"Captain Unohana Retsu, you..."
Unohana Retsu looked at the screaming Aizen Sousuke, slowly shook her head, and said calmly:
"This isn't Captain Aizen!"
She then looked at the remaining two, Gin Ichimaru and Tosen, and said calmly:
"It was only after Ye Yun pointed it out that I realized there was something wrong with their bodies, and there were many differences between their physical condition and the real person."
Hundreds of years ago, she was a ruthless killer who committed countless atrocities and was hailed as the greatest villain in Soul Society.
But she has been the captain of the Fourth Division for hundreds of years.
Having a thorough understanding of the various structures of the human body, one can easily discern a person's condition.
Despite the powerful effect of the illusion, after a few minutes of observation, she noticed the flaws in the three people's bodies.
Upon hearing Retsu Unohana's words, Soi Fon and Byakuya Kuchiki no longer hesitated.
At the same time, he swung his sword at "Ichimaru Gin" and "Tosen Kaname".
With two swift sounds, the two random passersby, also known as Grim Reapers, had their right arms severed and fell from the sky with screams.
Soi Fon's face turned frosty as she coldly said, "It wasn't me, otherwise that bastard Gin Ichimaru wouldn't have been unable to block my sword."
Kuchiki Byakuya looked at the center of the circle of flames and said coldly, "Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, Kaname Tōsen, have you three betrayed Soul Society?"
"Crack!"
The sound of a mirror shattering echoed in the hearts of all the captains.
That is, the instant the sound is heard.
They felt as if the mist had been wiped away from their eyes, allowing them to see the real world.
Beside the flames on the opposite side, Gin Ichimaru removed his black hood and looked at Soi Fon with a smile, saying:
"Captain Soi Fon, we've worked together for a hundred years, yet you attacked me without any mercy. It's so heartbreaking."
Beside him, Tosen Kaname slowly removed his hood and said calmly:
"Byakuya Kuchiki, he doesn't hold back when he attacks his own comrades. He's just like those high and mighty nobles. He's disgusting."

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Golden Pillar Piercing Through Heaven and Earth (Seeking Flowers and Monthly Tickets)
"Gin Ichimaru!"
"Aizen Sosuke!"
All the Death Captains' faces turned extremely ugly.
Although Ye Yun said that Aizen and the other two had betrayed them, they didn't really believe what Ryouka said.
Unexpectedly, the other party's words came true.
The betrayal of three captains—Aizen Sousuke, Ichimaru Gin, and Tosen Kaname—is a major event that could shake the entire Soul Society.
Its impact is absolutely no less than that of the Hollowfication incident a century ago.
"Tosen, this must be a misunderstanding, right?"
Kashiwamura Sajin stared incredulously at Tosen Kaname.
He and Kaname Tosen were close friends, and long before they joined the Seireitei, they had sworn to uphold justice in the Soul Society.
And that's exactly what he and Tosen Kaname have been doing all these years, consistently upholding justice in the Seireitei.
Now, his close friend, who harbors a heart full of justice, is about to betray the Seireitei. How can Kashiwamura Sajin accept this? He even doubts whether it is all an illusion.
But when faced with his close friend's question, Tosen Kaname remained unusually indifferent, drawing his Zanpakuto and saying calmly:
"Kashiwa Village, the Soul Society and the Seireitei are both corrupt. There is no justice left for me to protect here. Destruction is the best fate for him."
"Sing, you cleansing insects!"
As Tosen Kaname spoke, spiritual pressure enveloped his Zanpakuto, emitting a buzzing sound like the chirping of insects.
Now, even if Kashiwamura Sajin didn't want to believe it, he had no choice but to believe it: the Zanpakuto was indeed Tosen Kaname's Kiyomushi.
"Gin Ichimaru, Kaname Tosen, do you two think you can still survive here after betraying Soul Society?"
Soi Fon drew her Zanpakuto and looked at the two of them coldly.
"Slay all enemies, bee!"
His Zanpakuto has been transformed into a bracelet, gold and black, like the stinger of a queen bee, sharp and dangerously lethal.
Kuchiki Byakuya also wielded his Zanpakuto, the blade transforming into hundreds of cherry blossom petals that scattered outwards.
"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"
Before Soi Fon could make a move, Byakuya Kuchiki suddenly swung his blade, sending hundreds of cherry blossoms fluttering away like falling cherry blossoms.
Gin Ichimaru smiled and said:
"Shoot him, sharpshooter!"
But then, a fierce barrage of silver-white blade light came raining down.
The sounds of blades clashing echoed throughout the room.
In just a few seconds, hundreds of cherry blossoms were shattered by the silver-white blade light, but they quickly reformed.
Kyoraku Shunsui sighed helplessly, drew his Zanpakuto, and said:
"Seriously, why are they all thinking about defecting? They really don't respect us, their loyal and dutiful captains."
"Flowers flutter in the wind, and the flower goddess weeps!"
"The heavenly winds are in disarray, and the heavenly demons sneer!"
"Hua Tian Kuanggu!"
As Kyoraku Shunsui uttered his extremely long "release" incantation, the Zanpakuto in his hand suddenly split into two Zanpakuto.
The blade has one long and one short side, and the hilt has a red tassel.
The moment Kyoraku Shunsui grasped the Zanpakuto, an inexplicable sense of danger emanated from him.
Meanwhile, Toshiro Hitsugaya, Jushiro Ukitake, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi all drew their Zanpakuto and looked at Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen.
Seeing this, Ye Yun swung his staff fiercely, knocking Kenpachi Zaraki back, and said:
"Hey, Sword Maniac, those are your enemies over there. Why are you fighting me? Go find them, that's where you belong."
Kenpachi Zaraki glanced at Gin Ichimaru and the other man, and said disdainfully:
Why should I fight those two good-for-nothings?
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Yun, his eyes burning with fervor, and said excitedly:
"You are the one I'm going to fight, Ye Yun. You'd better be serious from now on, I won't hold back."
Ye Yun pointed at Unohana Retsu and said, "Then why don't you fight with Hana-nee? Her swordsmanship and strength are better than mine."
Kenpachi Zaraki's eyelid twitched.
He didn't know why, but he felt a little scared when he saw Retsu Unohana.
"Phew, there's nothing I can do..."
Ye Yun exhaled, planted the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) in the ground, and said:
"Big! Big! Big! Big!"
The Ruyi Jingu Bang grew larger and larger, attracting the attention of all the captains, who all looked at the ever-extending golden pillar.
