Request

It has already been a day since Aizen has betrayed Soul Society.

After Aizen left, under the command of 4th Division Head, Unohana, Shinigami of the 4th Division hurriedly started to heal the wounded Shinigami.

Masato and co didn't need such treatment with Orihime in their group, not to forget that Masato could also use <<Shun Shun Rikka>> now.

So, after the treatment was done came the part of whether to kill Ryoka or not.

Normally, such a question shouldn't have even been raised knowing that one of the Ryoka had killed a captain of Soul Society, but after knowing that the said captain was trying to betray Soul Society… well, discussion can be done it seems.

And then knowing that Aizen can't be defeated by them, not after they have seen his Zanpakuto's initial release; it was pretty much impossible for them to beat him now without outside help.

But it still doesn't make everyone satisfied with the decision. Like a certain memester with a tattoo of 69 on his cheek or a certain wolf-faced captain.

For them, Tosen was their captain, leader, supervisor, teacher, friend, someone to look up to. Their gay friendship had already reached the bound not known to men or soul.

So they definitely hated Masato and would definitely want to kill him.

Sadly, they were just not strong enough to do so. Not after knowing that the said person has almost forced their commander, who is known as the strongest Shinigami, to use Bankai.

Even if they all fought together, they were not sure if they could replicate the same result. But that didn't mean they were afraid, especially a certain wolf-faced captain.

So he would bark… if that is what wolf does.

The 'victim' in all of this currently stood at the center of captains of Gotei 13 with their commander sitting on the chair, at a slightly alleviated point, looking down at others.

The white-haired teenager definitely didn't appreciate such a view. If not that he didn't want to cause more trouble, not until his friends and family were still in Soul Society, he might create a throne above the old man to sit.

But then again, he was not the prisoner here so he tapped his toe with the earth, causing it to vibrate before a seat - that looked more like a throne - rose from the ground.

Every captain looked at the white-haired kid with amazement as he sat on his chair and said, "Good. I allow it. Start the meeting."

Definitely, it was enough to make most captain's temples twitch with anger and annoyance.

"Are you perhaps mocking us, Masato Oosuki?" Yoruichi fan girl said with anger, glaring towards Masato. Her hate for him is still not subducing in the least.

"Oh please! Why make things so complicated? I've just sat, just sat! If you want to do so, then do it. What's with this mocking stuff? Aren't you paranoid?"

'Obviously, I just sat because I didn't want to stand… Why does she think that I am trying to mock them? Well, maybe a little…'

Tapping his chin while ignoring the angry gnashing of teeth from Yoruichi's fangirl, he looked towards Yamamoto and said, "Old Man, I am here as you requested. We can start now, why so quiet? I don't want to brag, but I need to go back to my 'wife' now. I just married… or engaged?"

If Byakuya was here he would definitely have refuted Masato's claim of being engaged to his little sister-in-law, but sadly he was recapturing his wounds from the battle.

"I don't remember hearing something about Kuchiku marrying a rogue that tried to destroy Soul Society." Not backing down, Soifon said with a smirk.

"Indeed." Masato nodded and looked towards her, "If you spend your whole day worshiping Yoru, then obviously you wouldn't know such things."

He shook his head and said, "Though I don't mind you worshiping my wife, I would rather demand if you could tone it down. I don't want any bad rumors to spread."

Boom* Spiritual Energy was released out of Soifon as she looked towards Masato with a bloodthirst gaze, "Who is your wife? Yoruichi-sama is not married to anyone."

"Of course!" Masato clapped his hands, "But her maidenhood is already given to me, so marrying her is not far either."

"I'll kill you!"

Thud* Before Soifon could move towards Masato, a great pressure dropped on her, stopping her in her tracks.

"I've not called this meeting so you can fight over a woman! Stand back, Captain Soifon!"

Hearing the commanding voice of Yamamoto, Soifon calmed herself down and stood back at her place while glaring a dagger at Masato.

If gaze could kill Masato, then he would have died a thousand times by now.

Masato smirked, victorious. He had to say that teasing other people gave him a really refreshing feeling. He wondered if he should create this habit or something.

"We have gathered here to talk about the recent betrayal of Aizen to Soul Society. I've called Masato Oosuki here at the request of Captain Unohana who said that he informed her of Aizen's betrayal."

Everyone became surprised and looked towards Masato with suspicious eyes.

It was no surprise. Their enemy suddenly knew the betrayal of Aizen before and even killed one of the captains who was going to betray with Aizen.

Biggest of all, he told such things to Unohana. If he was not after something, then they would be blind and should throw their statuses away as Captain.

They were not wrong, Masato did want something from Soul Society. It was nothing tangible, but a short request.

"But why should we believe him? It could be that he is also a pawn of Aizen sent to mislead us?" Mayuri said with his creepy voice as he looked at Masato, "Why don't you let me take him to my lab and conduct some experiments on him to see if he is really Aizen's pawn or not?"

Looking at Mayuri, Masato's face showed disgust for the first time he had reincarnated into this world, "You think too highly of yourself, clown. If Aizen's pawn could be captured so easily, then you wouldn't have been seeing betrayal of three captains."

"And let's say, by a chance, I am his pawn or spy; what makes you think that you are even worthy of breathing in the same air as I? If not that I cared about the relationship with Soul Society and that its existence is necessary for the keeping of the world, you wouldn't even be standing here talking to me."

Normally, Masato would never say such things or act arrogant in front of others… maybe sometimes but not all the time.

But, for some reason, he had great hate and disgust for the people like Mayuri. To Masato, it felt like his very being was rejecting him.

It was already a miracle how he was controlling himself from not killing Mayuri right away.

"What did you say?" Mayuri's face turned into extreme anger as he looked towards Masato, "Did you just indirectly call me a bug that you could squash at any time?"

"It looks like even your thinking has flaws," Masato smirked and said, "Because even a bug has the potential to annoy someone, but you are just plain air that can't even be felt if stood in front of someone - a fart in simple terms."

Crack* The floor below Mayuri cracked due to the spiritual pressure gushing out of him, making it hard for a normal person to breathe close to him.

But who was Masato? He was no normal person. His spiritual energy was already reaching levels close to Yamamoto without Bankai, already surpassing every captain present here.

Boom* Just as Mayuri tried to pressure Masato with his spiritual pressure, an even greater pressure dropped on Mayuri. His spiritual pressure, like an inflated balloon, popped and vanished, leaving him at the mercy of Masato's spiritual pressure.

He gritted his teeth tightly, fist clenched, as he felt the blood rising to his brain. To Mayuri, it felt like he was standing against fully powered Yamamoto - spiritual pressure was enough to suffocate someone.

"Enough!" Yamamoto stuck his cane, once again, on the ground and dissipated Masato's spiritual pressure with his.

He looked towards Masato, who humphed away like a tsundere and then to Mayuri who was breathing heavily.

"Enough of this charade," he said and looked towards Masato, "Masato Oosuki, tell us what you know about Aizen and his goal for stealing that object."

Masato, still in his tsun tsun mode, looked towards Yamamoto and said, "I'll tell you about it, Old man. But I have a request, if you can agree to it, not only explaining Aizen's goal, I'll even help you eliminate him."

Yamamoto remained silent before prompting him to say it.

"It's simple. I want you to give me permission to stay in Soul Society for the coming two months, and let me have access to the research department."

Every present captain looked towards Masato and narrowed their eyes. It was really a… stretching demand. Giving permission was not a problem, but let him check the research.

But even if they agreed, a certain captain would never as…

"Never! I'll never allow someone to enter my research department." Mayuri adamantly denied him, but Masato never considered having his permission in the first place.

As long as Yamamoto agrees, then it's all good.

"You know that only souls can reside within Soul Society. If it's a human body, it will spiritualize after some time."

Masato nodded at Kyoraku and replied, "Indeed, that is the case. But I've already made enough preparation for it. Look, I am present here, no?"

Indeed, Masato being present here was already a rare case for them.

Though the reason why everyone thinks that it is due to Urahara doing something, in reality, it was Masato's special status as The Gamer that allowed him to treat every area as a map or an unexplored region.

It didn't matter what restriction it had, as long as he can enter, he will be alright.

"Do you want to check our research?" Ukitake asked.

Masato shook his head, "It's a secondary goal." He looked towards Unohana and said, "My primary goal is to train under Unohana-nee-san."

Every captain was surprised as they looked towards Unohana who didn't open her eyes and was silently standing at her place. To them, it looked like she didn't want to enter the discussion but the truth was that she barely was controlling herself from slashing at Masato.

After all, the lingering feeling of death when she looked into his eyes was still quite fresh in her mind. And after hearing Masato, this feeling intensified. She wanted nothing more than to slash at him and kill him - spilling his gut.

"I can comply with staying at Soul Society and train under Unohana, but reading the research is prohibited. And more, you will be under Captain Unohana's division and her supervision."

Masato sighed, hearing Yamamoto. He had guessed this much. After all, no one would want an outsider to study their research.

But Masato was not disappointed, since he could read it at a later time. Sneaking and stuff.

"Very well. Then I'll explain to you the goal of Aizen and the object he took with him." Nodding, Masato started to explain the reason for Aizen's betrayal.

Like he wanted to kill every inhabitant of Karakura Town to create a key to Soul King palace so he can kill him and take his place. He didn't even finish when every captain's eyes widened to extremes.

First, Masato was aware of the existence of Soul King - it increased their vigilance against him, and second was the astonishment hearing Aizen's goal.

It was no small matter anymore. Aizen was not only betraying Soul Society but even starting a war against it!

Ignoring their shocked looks, Masato continued about the goal of Hogyoku in all of this and its use. He didn't hide its real purpose either as how it could grant the desire of someone.

It was particularly a grail but more potent than it.

While grail needed a power source, it didn't. All you need to do is wait and it will automatically complete your desire.

But the biggest ability of Hogyoku was not the completion of desires, but the ability to break the boundary of a soul and let it ascend into a higher realm.

In essence, it was the same as the <<Heaven's Feel>> magic.

That is why Masato changed his mind about it. At first, he was not really interested in Hogyoku but if it really worked the same as <<Heaven's Feel>> then no way he is going to let it slip from his hands.

Infinite Mana! And it was just one of the things <<Heaven's Feel>> could do.

Masato was already aware of the process to make his mana infinite, but that required him to have an extended knowledge about souls and how they worked.

After all, the concept of infinite required him to mess with his soul and by no means he wanted to walk blindly when dealing with his soul.

This was also one of the reasons why he wanted to stay behind in Soul Society so he can, somehow, take a look into the soul research they did.
