With Sui Feng's words, the atmosphere suddenly grew tense.
All the eyes of the entire Guardian Court Thirteen Squads gathered on Sui Feng, then turned toward Aizen Sousuke, fixing on this mild man who looked like a refined gentleman.
No one had expected that the Captain of Squad 2, Sui Feng, would actually make a move against the Captain of Squad 5, Aizen Sousuke, at this moment!
"Captain Sui Feng, what are you talking about?"
A flash of displeasure crossed Uehara Naraku's face as he suddenly stood up.
Just as Uehara Naraku was about to argue with Sui Feng, Sui Feng's single sentence suppressed him: "Lord Naraku, didn't Mr. Tobirama tell you about this?"
"Wh…what?"
Uehara Naraku's expression instantly faltered; he seemed a little in awe of Senju Tobirama: "Th…then what does this have to do with Mr. Tobirama?"
"Lord Naraku."
Sui Feng fixed her gaze on the still-unruffled Aizen Sousuke and spoke in an icy voice: "The Captain of Squad 5 you respect so much, Aizen Sousuke, has all along been colluding with the Uehara Race traitor Orochimaru, attempting to take your life and even to ignite a civil war in the Quiet Spirit Court. You didn't know about this?"
"..."
The entire conference room fell into silence.
The next moment, the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads erupted!
No one had expected that the Captain of Squad 2, Sui Feng, would actually accuse Aizen Sousuke of such grave crimes at a time like this, and even besmirch Orochimaru's name in the process!
The Captain of Squad 12, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, grinned with a strange smile and spoke in a sinister voice: "Mr. Orochimaru is held in very high regard in the Research and Development Institute… Some things really shouldn't be thrown around carelessly…"
"Hey, Sui Feng, don't talk nonsense!"
"How could Captain Aizen possibly do something like that!"
"This isn't the time to hurl random accusations at comrades; we should first call in Central 46 to investigate!"
"Central 46 has long since been controlled by Aizen Sousuke using Kyoka Suigetsu, hasn't it!"
Sui Feng coldly cut off one Captain's suggestion and stared icily at Aizen Sousuke as she continued: "Just say it… Lord Aizen, your Kyoka Suigetsu's Shikai ability is to manipulate a person's five senses, isn't it? From decades ago, the entirety of Central 46 has already been under your control, hasn't it?"
"Sui Feng…"
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni's heavy voice interrupted Sui Feng. The old man slowly stood up, leaning on his cane, and said softly, "Now is not the time for accusations… Certain words, once spoken, must be backed with evidence."
"Then please allow me to present the evidence!"
Sui Feng clenched her teeth and went on in a deep voice: "I have already asked Mr. Senju Tobirama and Urahara Kisuke to rush here. They both hold evidence of Aizen Sousuke and Orochimaru's collusion…"
"Then lay it out for us!"
Kyoraku Shunsui smiled with great interest: "Just so happens I've also received some rather interesting news. At first I just thought it was amusing… but it seems now that information might be very useful indeed!"
Just yesterday.
After Urahara Kisuke, the Masked Legion, and Shihoin Yoruichi left Uehara City, each of them went to meet their old friends or former superiors. Naturally, Yadoumaru Risa also visited Kyoraku Shunsui and revealed to him the truth of those years.
With Kyoraku Shunsui now standing on Sui Feng's side, everyone's eyes fell on Aizen Sousuke. There was disbelief on every face at what sort of sinister crimes this Captain of Squad 5 might have committed.
However, the Captain of Squad 2, Sui Feng, and the Captain of Squad 8, Kyoraku Shunsui, were essentially the intelligence and oversight arms of the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads. With both of them jointly pointing at Aizen Sousuke, he really shouldn't be all that innocent, should he?
"Go and summon Mr. Tobirama and the former Captain of Squad 12, Urahara Kisuke…"
Yamamoto Shigekuni's heavy voice sounded in the conference room. His gaze fell on Aizen Sousuke, and he rumbled on, "Sousuke, do you have anything you wish to refute?"
Everyone fixed their eyes on Aizen.
Each person waited for Aizen's answer.
The Captain of Squad 5 slowly lifted his head to look at everyone present, raised a hand to push up his glasses, and revealed a gentle smile, just as he always had in the past.
Right at this moment, the Captain of Squad 7, Tosen Kaname, suddenly opened his mouth and intercepted the conversation, speaking in a low voice: "Forgive me, there may be something I need to clarify… Due to my blindness, I have a file here that I might need all of you to look over for me."
"Hmm?"
Sui Feng's eyes flickered.
Kyoraku Shunsui's smile slowly faded.
Because according to the information the two of them had obtained, Aizen Sousuke, Ichimaru Gin, and Tosen Kaname were accomplices. For Tosen Kaname to suddenly jump out now…
They truly couldn't find a good way to stop him.
Yet when Tosen Kaname took a file from his chest and placed it on the table, a look of surprise flashed across the faces of every Captain who read and passed it along.
It was a record of Aizen Sousuke's Spiritual Pressure traces.
Strictly speaking, it could even be considered a statement of Aizen Sousuke's crimes stretching back decades. If everything in this document could be proven…
"I should say, back when I was still at the Shin'o Academy…"
Tosen Kaname lowered his head and spoke softly: "When I was furious at the darkness of this world, Captain Aizen once tempted me into his ranks under the banner of changing the world. I truly believed he would change this world…
Yet later I came to realize that it was because my eyes had long since been blind that they would become a weakness of his Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu. So he drew me into his camp early on, in order to eliminate the hidden danger to Kyoka Suigetsu."
