Chapter 209: Breaking The Game

"Muramasa's purpose is most likely to rescue Kuchiki Koga, but only the head-captain and Captain Ginrei know about Kuchiki Koga's whereabouts. To get his location, that's the reason why Muramasa's target was the head-captain."

Leaving the Kuchiki family's mansion, Sui Feng and Byakuya followed Mazuru, while he spoke slowly.

"So, that huge fire and loud explosion that happened in the First Division earlier, it was Muramasa who attacked the head-captain?" Sui Feng asked Mazuru.

Mazuru nodded, "That should indeed be the case." 

He explained further, "The head-captain was one of the parties who sealed Kuchiki Koga back then, and he knew how difficult of an opponent Muramasa was. Even with his ability, he couldn't resist and Ryūjin Jakka has materialized into reality by Muramasa. Although it is also the strongest of a certain department, the power of Ryūjin Jakka is not like to that of Hyōrinmaru, which has not yet fully developed its power in the hands of Toshiro. The head-captain can once again suppress Ryūjin Jakka and make him submit, but in the process, a battle will inevitably break out and probably because he was worried that the battle will cause huge damage to Seireitei, so he chose to change the battle place and disappeared from there..."

Although these were only Mazuru's guesses based on the events, both Sui Feng and Byakuya believed that what Mazuru said may be the truth.

Mazuru also sighed inwardly.

Is Captain Yamamoto strong? Of course he's strong. As the founder of Gotei 13, the Zanpakuto, Ryūjin Jakka, in his hand is the oldest and strongest Zanpakuto in the fire department. His strength as the strongest shinigami was well deserved. Unfortunately, it was precisely because he was too strong, all the ambitious people, when targeting the Soul Society, first will consider how to deal him.

The Bakkōtō that Shusuke had, could restrain Ryūjin Jakka's flames, Muramasa's ability could make Ryūjin Jakka materialize into reality, and then fight against its own master. Even Aizen, in order to deal with the captain Yamamoto, and specifically, in order to deal with Ryūjin Jakka, created the special arrancar, Flame Extinguishing Prince - Wonderweiss.

Therefore, it was really difficult for the head-captain, who gets targeted in various ways. 

Mazuru didn't know that in the Thousand Year Blood War arc, although Yamamoto used Ryūjin Jakka's Bankai, he was still targeted specifically and died miserably in the end.

"So where do should we go next?"

"Should we head directly to the sealed place where Kuchiki Koga is?"

Sui Feng asked Mazuru.

"Not right now."

Mazuru vetoed it immediately, "The first thing we need to solve is the unrest within the Seireitei."

"Muramasa wanted to get clues about the sealed place that keeps Kuchiki Koga from the head-captain. Logically speaking, he only needed to attack the head-captain alone, but after successfully attacking the head-captain, he attacked Toshiro again, making Hyōrinmaru also materialize into reality. What do you think he did that for?"

Sui Feng and Byakuya started thinking of possible reasons.

Byakuya was very smart and guessed the reason right away.

"Time, he needs time."

"The head-captain is very powerful. Even if Muramasa has such strange abilities, it is not so easy to learn about the place where Kuchiki Koga was sealed from the head-captain. Therefore, he needs time to get out the information from the head-captain. Therefore, after he lured Ryūjin Jakka to rebel, he continued to lure the rest of Zanpakuto to rebel, one is to plunge Seireitei into turmoil, so that the rest of the shinigami would have no time to look for the head-captain, and the other is to buy time for himself. "

Mazuru echoed Byakuya's words. 

While speaking, Mazuru used Kidō.

"Silken net of black and white! Twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crowning sash; footprints, distant thunder, pointed peaks, revolving grounds, nightly prostrations, sea of clouds, the pale ranks of troops, complete the grand circle and surpass the heavens!"

"Bakudō #77 —— Tenteikūra!"

Immediately, strips of blue spiritual power flew out from Mazuru's fingers, and then quickly condensed into a net in mid-air. The reiatsu then scattered away, and was received by the shinigami scattered all over Seireitei in an instant.

"The captains, vice-captains, and members of each division, I am Kyo Mazuru, the captain of the Third Division. Next, I will tell you the source of the current turmoil in Seireitei so I urge you to listen carefully..."

Mazuru then used some short words to tell the story of Muramasa, and told them the basic abilities of Muramasa, and how to deal with it. To put it simply, it was to defeat the rebellious Zanpakuto, and they will be able to recover their Zanpakuto's power.

Of course, it was also considered that some shinigami might not be able to face their Zanpakuto and emerge victorious, so for such people, Mazuru's advice was to release their reiatsu while avoiding their Zanpakuto's attack, and hold on as much as possible until support arrives.

Hollow, shinigami, and quincy, these three life forms all have one common characteristic, that is, spiritual power, but because the life forms were different, the colors of their spirit channels were also quite different.

And shinigami's, were all red, so there's no clearer signal than that.

As long as the shinigami releases its reiatsu with all its strength, it was extremely easy for other shinigami to follow the reiatsu and find the one who was in need of aid.

In the Eleventh Division team building. 

Zaraki held his Zanpakuto and looked at the strange enemy in front of him, "So, you are a traitorous Zanpakuto!"

Early this morning, he discovered that there was a sudden turmoil in the team, and first he thought it was some kind of enemy invasion. Then he felt that his division's members' Zanpakuto had rebelled.

Having said that, all the Zanpakuto of members had rebelled, so why was there no movement from his sword.

This made Zaraki a little unhappy, but then he stopped caring about it, because according to Mazuru's words, the only way to revert these Zanpakuto to their original forms was to defeat these rebellious Zanpakuto.

"So, it is enough to just beat you, right?"

Zaraki grinned.

Not far from him, a member of the Eleventh Division didn't know what to say because it was his own Zanpakuto that was facing Zaraki, "How did Rouran become captain's enemy?

'If my Zanpakuto is defeated by captain, can it return to normal?'

Not to mention what was happening in the Eleventh Division.

After hearing the news from Mazuru, the captains and vice-captains of each division also knew the whole story of the incident, and then, seeing the rebellious Zanpakuto in front of them, they launched an attack without any hesitation.

Except for a very few captains who heavily rely on their Zanpakuto's ability, the veteran captains were definitely not weak even without their Zanpakuto.

Moreover, when they achieved their Bankai, they were able to defeat their Zanpakuto and make it submit, and now they could just make it submit for the second time.
