Decades ago, Hirako Shinji vaguely discovered Aizen Sousuke's small moves and was framed by him. All the captains or vice captains who went to participate in the rescue were subjected to Hollowfication experiments. I was present at the scene back then.
As for the previous assassination incident, it was also orchestrated by Aizen Sousuke alone. His intention was to gain the trust of the Uehara Race and to send away Uehara Naraku and the Thirteen Deadguard Seat Officers, granting him time to conquer the Hollow World.
Aizen Sousuke's ambition exceeded our imagination. One point was not as Captain Sui Feng mentioned; he didn't form an alliance with Orochimaru but rather conquered Orochimaru and the entire Hollow World by his own strength, becoming the Master of the Hollow World.
All of this, I didn't see...
But my ears and heart heard it all!
Even if I am blind, it doesn't affect my judgment of true justice. Aizen Sousuke, I never thought of siding with you. Everything I did was for genuine justice, while you have already violated the justice rules of this world!
Your ambition is too great.
How could a man ambitious enough to want to rule the world let me see justice in him?"
"Interesting statement... Tosen."
Aizen Sousuke still wore that gentle smile and even nodded slightly in response to Tosen Kaname's words: "If you really put it that way, I do seem like those ambitious types..."
This sentence seemed no different from the past Aizen Sousuke.
Yet, it made everyone present feel somewhat odd; it seemed that Aizen shouldn't be this calm facing accusations from several captains...
Everyone's mood gradually tightened.
Aizen Sousuke shifted his tone, looked at Tosen Kaname, and his smile grew even more gentle: "But there's one thing you said wrong, Tosen. I don't want to call them ambitions; I prefer to call them hopes."
To others, those were Aizen Sousuke's ambitions.
To Aizen Sousuke, they were the hopes rising in his heart.
Now, Tosen Kaname's betrayal was something Aizen Sousuke hadn't anticipated.
Aizen Sousuke originally intended to use his pawns in the Quiet Spirit Court to revert Urahara Kisuke and Hirako Shinji and others back to their original selves, planning to launch his defection plan when the Quiet Spirit Court fell into chaos again.
However, Tosen Kaname's betrayal disrupted Aizen's plan.
Aizen Sousuke knew very well that Tosen Kaname, who had always followed him, had too much evidence against him, even though Aizen Sousuke wouldn't care about that evidence.
Each captain of the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads involuntarily gripped their Zanpakuto, and the Spiritual Pressure on them began to stir violently. Their steps slowly moved to guard the exit of the conference room, with some even gradually approaching Ichimaru Gin.
"What do you want to do, Rangiku?"
Ichimaru Gin squinted his eyes and smiled, speaking without turning his head to the woman behind him: "Now, with your Zanpakuto in hand standing behind me, do you want to kill me at any time?"
Just after Ichimaru Gin said this and before Matsumoto Rangiku could answer, he continued to smile smugly on his own: "Though I think dying under your blade now isn't bad... But won't it make your life too lonely in this world?"
"Is what they say true?"
Matsumoto Rangiku gripped her Zanpakuto, gritted her teeth, and refused to respond to Gin's words, continuing to ask: "Gin, tell me, Aizen Sousuke and you... what exactly is your relationship?"
Matsumoto Rangiku was somewhat unwilling to believe.
All along, Matsumoto Rangiku knew she didn't understand Ichimaru Gin.
But Matsumoto Rangiku didn't mind these; she believed Ichimaru Gin inherited the wisdom of Yakushi Kabuto while she inherited the compassionate side of Yakushi Kabuto.
What's unexpected now is that Ichimaru Gin was involved with Aizen Sousuke, even having plans to overthrow the Quiet Spirit Court...
This matter...
Made Matsumoto Rangiku faintly unable to accept it. What she couldn't accept was Ichimaru Gin defying Yakushi Kabuto's teachings and walking on the wrong path.
"Hasn't it already been said?"
Ichimaru Gin shook his head, squinting and smiling as he continued: "Lord Aizen and I are both dangerous individuals wanting to overthrow the Quiet Spirit Court... Lord Aizen has not denied this, so it seems I have no reason to deny it either?"
"You really..."
Matsumoto Rangiku bit her lip, unwilling to say the next sentence.
As this pair of childhood sweethearts communicated, on the other side, Aizen Sousuke had been surrounded by a group of captains.
Aizen Sousuke did not deny it.
Or rather, he no longer denied these matters.
Regardless of whether the crimes Sui Feng or Tosen Kaname mentioned had evidence, Aizen Sousuke did not deny them, even gradually revealing his true self hidden beneath his humble mask.
Captain of the 4th Squad, Unohana Retsu, looked at Aizen Sousuke, her face full of bitterness and regret: "These are not things you would do, Sousuke... Why have you become like this?"
"It's truly regrettable; I didn't expect you'd have such a deep misunderstanding of me..."
Aizen Sousuke still maintained his humble attitude, smiling as he continued: "Actually, the Aizen Sousuke you knew from the beginning never existed... Of course, even now, it doesn't hinder my continued admiration for you... the first Kenpachi, Lady Unohana Retsu."
