64 Ryoka Invasion (1/2)

Apart from Ukitake, who was on sick leave, every captain was there. The only changes from the original was that Soi Fon was replaced by Itsuki. He slowly looked around before looking at the 7th division captain. It was his first time properly seeing him.

The 7th division's captain had a rather large build and wore a gauntlet covering his arms and a helmet, which covered his head. It seemed that he was very self-conscious about his looks. He then looked towards Aizen; it was the real him. Itsuki didn't know if he was fully tricked by Kyoka Suigetsu but what he did know was that Aizen had the ability to trick a person's five senses but not death.

It was natural that Itsuki had seen Kyoka Suigetsu being released yet even without using his eyes he will find something amiss when seeing one of his illusions. It will be a tiny detail, and only if looked closely would he find it. Itsuki knew that the only sure-fire method of being immune to Kyoka Suigetsu's complete hypnosis was to touch the blade before being influence by it.

Zaraki's voice then brought Itsuki out of his thought as he started interrogating Gin,

”…Quit joking around, you think that's why you were called here. I heard you went to play with some Ryoka and, not to mention, even let them escape. The hell's wrong with you? Someone like you wouldn't break a sweat over four to five Ryoka”

Gin still had a sarcastic smile on his face,

”Oh, they ain't dead”

”Wha?”

”Well I was sure they was dead, guess my intuition done got dull”

Mayuri then started laughing at Gin's excuse,

”Cut the act, there's no way a captain wouldn't be able to tell…”

Itsuki saw this an rolled his eyes,

'It seems the play starts'

A child also rolled his eyes as he muttered under his breath,

”The stupid old guys have started another stupid fight”

Gin looked wronged after hearing Mayuri,

”That ain't nice, it like you're sayin' I let 'em go on purpose.”

”That is what I'm saying…”

Before Mayuri could continue, Zaraki interrupted him,

”Shut up Kurotsuchi, I'm the one currently talking to him, or do you want me to kill you.”

”What was that?”

As the two started to get heated up, Shunsui muttered on the side,

”My, oh my, so hot-blooded”

Suddenly, a weird noise left Yamamoto's mouth as he shouted,

”Enough! However, I think the reason you've been called here is explained by the earlier confrontation. Your independent action, letting the targets escape…”

Yamamoto slowly opened his eyes and looked carefully at Gin,

”…Have you got any explanation, Ichimaru?”

”I do not.”

Yamamoto seemed surprised at the sudden answer.

”What was that?”
