-------------------------------------------------

In Karakura Town, a tree stands tall in the quiet street. Perched on one of its branches is a young girl with short, black, tousled hair. A lock of hair falls gently on her forehead, and she has purple eyes. Despite her petite stature, she exudes a sense of calm.

[Rukia - Img]

She is dressed in a black shihakusho, with a Zanpakuto secured at her waist. After scanning her surroundings, she yawns, lies down on the tree branch, and closes her eyes.

Near her, in the darkness, there was a slight disturbance. In the corner across from the tree, a figure was crouching, eyes filled with tears, biting their lip to prevent themselves from crying. However, tears kept flowing uncontrollably.

"Rukia-neesan, it's been thirty years."

It has been thirty years since Yamahiko left the Soul Society. The story is now officially starting, and Rukia Kuchiki has arrived in the human world under Aizen's control.

Yamahiko misses Rukia dearly, and after thirty years, their reunion brings tears to his eyes.

However, he couldn't bring himself to approach her just yet.

Thinking this, Yamahiko slowly stepped back, leaving the place and returning to his residence.

...

Five days later, Yoruichi received a message and brought Yamahiko to Urahara Shop, where they met Kisuke Urahara. The first thing Urahara said was, "Rukia Kuchiki has arrived in the Human world and has made Ichigo Kurosaki a Substitute Shinigami."

Upon hearing this, Yamahiko knew the plot had officially begun. However, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What happened?"

Urahara Kisuke explained, "Rukia Kuchiki was injured by a Hollow while trying to save Ichigo Kurosaki. In a critical moment, she transferred her Shinigami powers to Ichigo. This happened last night."

Yamahiko furrowed his brow and asked, "How did Rukia Kuchiki meet Ichigo Kurosaki?"

Naturally, Yamahiko knew that it was Aizen who brought Rukia Kuchiki to the present world, intending to trigger Ichigo Kurosaki's latent Shinigami powers and observe the changes in his body.

However, Yamahiko couldn't reveal this. Instead, he could only guide Urahara Kisuke to consider related questions.

In the original work, Urahara Kisuke is unaware that Aizen is behind Rukia Kuchiki; his sole intention is to conceal Rukia's Hōgyoku. This is why he gave her the Gigai that can suppress her spiritual power.

However, it is the disappearance of her spiritual power that makes Aizen feel threatened and confirms that the Hōgyoku is in Rukia's body. This prompts him to take control of the Central 46 and have Rukia arrested.

Now that Yamahiko is involved, Urahara Kisuke would not want to sacrifice Rukia Kuchiki to keep the Hōgyoku hidden completely.

This will prevent Aizen from being exposed, and Yamahiko must make Aizen reveal himself.

Urahara Kisuke furrowed his brow and asked, "Are you suggesting someone is manipulating this situation? Could it be Aizen?"

Yamahiko waved his hand and said, "Whether it's him or not, Aizen knows that the Hōgyoku is inside Rukia Kuchiki. This is our only chance to contact her. We must take action."

Urahara Kisuke asked, "What do you intend to do?"

Yamahiko replied, "Urahara-Senpai, when you placed the Hōgyoku inside Rukia Kuchiki's body, it couldn't have been just for safekeeping, right?"

Urahara Kisuke nodded and said, "I had wanted to completely conceal the Hōgyoku, but that would require Rukia Kuchiki to become an ordinary person. Since Aizen has discovered our plan, I have no choice but to abandon it."

Yamahiko nodded and replied, "Then let's proceed with that plan."

"Proceed?" Urahara Kisuke looked at Yamahiko, puzzled.

Yamahiko nodded and continued, "Urahara-san, your intention was to turn Rukia into an ordinary person. This is precisely the method recorded in the Great Spirit Library that you left behind to conceal the Hōgyoku. Once Aizen realizes this, he will be certain that the Hōgyoku is truly inside Rukia. At the same time, he will take action to try to extract the Hōgyoku, and that's when we'll make our move."

Urahara Kisuke pondered for a moment before asking, "So you want to lure Aizen out, have him attack Rukia, and then we surround him?"

Yamahiko nodded and replied, "That's a possibility. However, Aizen prefers not to act personally. It's more likely that he will use the power of the Soul Society."

Urahara Kisuke nodded in understanding. "To extract the Hōgyoku, there are two methods. The first involves gradually separating it from the soul using powerful energy. The second method requires the use of the Soul Separation technique I left behind in the Great Spirit Library. If he doesn't intend to act personally, he will need someone powerful to act on his behalf."

Yoruichi interjected, "In the Soul Society, only the Central 46 can achieve this."

Yamahiko said, "Moreover, when Rukia transferred her Shinigami powers to a human, she violated the rules of the Soul Society. I think if Aizen were to use the Soul Society, he might use this as a reason."

Urahara Kisuke nodded and said, "Nevertheless, we need to be prepared on both fronts. First, if Aizen comes to the human world and directly attacks Rukia. Second, if the Soul Society decides to recall Rukia in its own name."

Yoruichi said, "If it's the first case, we need someone to constantly accompany Rukia. We might have to use the power of the Visoreds."

Yamahiko shook his head and said, "All of the Visoreds have been hypnotized by Aizen's Shikai. It won't work. I'll personally protect Rukia."

Even though I haven't mastered Bankai yet, at the moment, I'm the only one who can restrain Aizen.

Urahara said, "Alright, if it's the second option, I'll be ready to use the Senkaimon. I'll send you to Soul Society, and you can contact your prepared backup. Are you sure Captain-Commander Yamamoto and Captain Unohana will believe what you say?"

Yamahiko nodded and said, "I'm fairly confident. After all, I can use my death as proof, which should be convincing enough."

Yoruichi smiled and added, "If it comes to that, I'll go with Yamahiko to Soul Society. I should be able to help."

Currently, Yoruichi has mastered the Shunkō: Raijin Senke (God of Thunder Battle Form), and her strength is well-known.

In the future, Yoruichi transformed into the Shunko form and relied on her armor to battle against Aizen's second form.

Though she only used ambushes and cooperated with Isshin Kurosaki and Kisuke Urahara in battle when Aizen didn't actively attack her.

With the Thunder God Form, Yoruichi can now fight against Aizen's Hōgyoku second form, at least in terms of speed, far surpassing him.

Moreover, in her black cat form, she can avoid attracting attention in the Soul Society, and she and Kisuke Urahara have many arrangements in the Soul Society.

Urahara Kisuke inquired, "What about the trigger time?"

After a moment of contemplation, Yamahiko responded, "Three months. If Aizen doesn't detect anything during this period, we'll have Rukia expose herself to draw his attention."

Urahara Kisuke pressed further, "And the Hōgyoku? Should we remove it from Rukia's body? The removal method won't harm her."

Shaking his head, Yamahiko explained, "No, let the Hōgyoku remain in Rukia's body. It will be our bait to ensnare Aizen."

It is known that Aizen relied on his experiments to understand the abilities of the Hōgyoku, which led him to confirm its true nature: the ability to read the minds of those around it and manifest their desires into reality.

Aizen also claimed that all the miracles that occurred around Ichigo, Rukia, and Urahara were manifested by the Hōgyoku

[Some more Context :

Aizen claims that Urahara misidentified the power of the Hōgyoku as controlling the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows because that was his wish as his creator, that Rukia transferred all her powers to Ichigo because she still felt guilty about killing Kaien Shiba, and that Orihime Inoue and Yasutora Sado gained their unique powers because they cursed their powerlessness from the bottom of their hearts. ]

This incident confirmed that the Hōgyoku was indeed inside Rukia and had the ability to make dreams come true.

This revelation indirectly prompted Aizen to take action, leading to the decision that it must remain inside Rukia.

Yamahiko paused and continued, "Moreover, if we defeat Aizen, we can keep the Hōgyoku in Soul Society."

Urahara Kisuke looked at Yamahiko, who was staring at him intently. Urahara let out a sigh and said, "Let's do as you suggest then."

Yamahiko stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

Urahara Kisuke replied, "I'll go find Rukia and offer the Gigai. I'll let you know when the time comes."

Yamahiko nodded, left Urahara's shop, donned his cloak, and disappeared into the darkness.
