Chapter 148 - Chapter 148: Verdict

At the last moment when the barrier dissolved, Ito Makoto also released his Bankai.

It wasn't until the battle ended that he had time to stop the bleeding from his right shoulder and left leg, looking at the core territory of the Xia Da Lu Family, which had been reduced to ruins due to the collision of spiritual pressure during the previous great battle.

A moment later, as if remembering something, Ito Makoto dragged the unconscious Kazumichi Asayuki out from the ruins behind him.

Under Ito Makoto's superb Kidō skills, Kazumichi Asayuki quickly regained consciousness.

"Makoto-kun..."

Kazumichi Asayuki, who had opened her eyes in a daze, first glanced at Ito Makoto beside her, and then realized that she couldn't sense the spiritual pressure of the three clan elders and her 'mother' at all.

A look of joy immediately appeared in her light purple pupils:

"You killed them all? You're really strong, Makoto-kun. I knew I didn't misjudge you..."

Kazumichi Asayuki's delicate face, due to excessive blood loss, was even paler with a hint of sickness.

But the next moment, her expression immediately darkened:

"Alas, it's a pity I didn't kill her with my own hands!"

In response, Ito Makoto extended his right hand and said calmly:

"Give it to me!"

Kazumichi Asayuki then smiled brightly.

"Since you've already killed her, you must have already gotten that thing, why are you still asking me for it!"

Upon hearing this, Ito Makoto's mouth twitched slightly, and he hesitated to speak.

After a moment, Kazumichi Asayuki sighed lightly and spoke again:

"With such a major incident happening, those old fogeys in Central 46 will definitely not let you stay in the Gotei 13 anymore."

"But don't worry, Makoto-kun, seeing as you've helped me so much, I've already arranged a place for you to go, a place you'll definitely be satisfied with!"

As she spoke, Kazumichi Asayuki even tried to reach out and gently caress Ito Makoto's face, but Ito Makoto tilted his head and dodged her.

"Alas, what a powerful and charming man. I really want to marry you, but unfortunately, I'm going to Muken!"

"Oh, Makoto-kun, you must be careful of Tokinada Tsunayashiro. You can't befriend him deeply!"

Looking at Kazumichi Asayuki, who was lying beside him, chattering incessantly, Ito Makoto found her a bit noisy.

"Xia Dalulu Head, you talk too much!"

"I told you not to call me Xia Dalulu Head, you can just call me Qianxue!"

"Okay, Xia Dalulu Head!"

...

Twenty minutes later, Ito Makoto and Kazumichi Asayuki helped each other up, just in time to meet Kyōraku Shunsui, Kuchiki Byakuya, and Tokinada Tsunayashiro walking towards them.

The moment he saw the two, Kyōraku Shunsui's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and Kazumichi Asayuki also nodded slightly to Kyōraku Shunsui.

"If the three of you had come any slower, I would have almost reached Central 46!"

Ito Makoto complained with a sense of helplessness.

...

Three days later, Central 46, underground council chamber.

Ito Makoto stood outside the council chamber, staring blankly at the closed door.

"Here we go again!"

Inside the council chamber, Kazumichi Asayuki stood in the center of the chamber. At this moment, she had already been stripped of her Shinigami identity and was attending the trial in a pure white kimono.

As a blinding white light shone directly in the center of the council chamber, it made Kazumichi Asayuki squint her eyes.

"Kazumichi Asayuki, you indulged your clan members, privately forged the forbidden weapon Bakuyoto, harbored ill intentions, murdered numerous nobles, and illegally raised Hollow. As the Eleventh Great Sage of Central 46, not only did you not consider benefiting the Soul Society, but instead, you abused your authority, acted perversely, and endangered the Seireitei! Now, with multiple crimes combined, your identity as the Eleventh Great Sage is hereby revoked, the Xia Da Lu Family is demoted to a mid-ranking noble family, and all clan members are prohibited from participating in the election of Central 46 for a thousand years."

"Kazumichi Asayuki herself will be imprisoned in the seventh layer of Muken for a term of eight hundred years!"

Upon hearing the verdict, Kazumichi Asayuki looked up slightly, only to hear a majestic voice coming from behind the screen with the character 'Three' written on it, at the top level of the council chamber.

Apparently, interrogating Kazumichi Asayuki, the former Eleventh Great Sage, required the presence of the top ten Great Sages. Therefore, in addition to the regular personnel, several of the top ten Great Sages were also present at this meeting.

"Hahahahaha!"

Facing the Third Great Sage who had delivered her verdict, Kazumichi Asayuki burst into a fit of wild laughter.

"Bang!"

The Third Great Sage slammed the table.

"The suspect must maintain silence!"

The next moment, the voice of the Fifth Great Sage came from another direction:

"Kazumichi Asayuki, for contempt of Central 46, your sentence is changed to one thousand years!"

However, Kazumichi Asayuki didn't care about this at all, and continued to laugh with a hint of disdain in her eyes:

"I saw it... your deaths! You old fossils in your graves, the fate of the Xia Da Lu Family today is a reflection of your tomorrow! In the past, sitting with you old fogeys made me sick, but today I can finally curse you! It's truly exhilarating!"

Kazumichi Asayuki's voice was deafening, as if she wasn't being tried in the council chamber but performing on a stage. She actually single-handedly debated with the Great Sages of Central 46.

"Do you worms even deserve to judge me?"

A look of disdain appeared on Kazumichi Asayuki's delicate face as she scanned the Great Sages in the chamber.

"How dare you..."

Outside, Ito Makoto was completely unaware of what was happening inside Central 46.

A moment later, the door to the underground council chamber slowly opened, and four attendants, completely shrouded in white robes, escorted Kazumichi Asayuki, whose hands and feet were bound with special spiritual particle locks, towards Muken.

At this moment, Kazumichi Asayuki was radiant, as if she were a victorious general who had just returned from battle. The moment she saw Ito Makoto, she first let out a soft laugh and then actually blew him a kiss.

"Makoto-kun, see you in two thousand years!"

Upon hearing this, Ito Makoto's mouth twitched slightly.

He was about to say something when an attendant in a white robe walked out of the council chamber.

"Fourth Division Vice-Captain, Ito Makoto, enter the hall!"

Ito Makoto followed the attendant in white robes into the underground council chamber.

At this moment, the top ten Great Sages had already left, and now some of the lower-ranking permanent members present were pronouncing judgment on Ito Makoto.

"Fourth Division Vice-Captain Ito Makoto, you have rendered great service in assisting the Kucihki Clan Head, the Tsunayashiro Clan Head, and Captain Kyōraku in solving the Bakuyoto incident. However, as a commoner, you acted presumptuously against a high-ranking noble, which is a great fault. Therefore, your merits and demerits cancel each other out. But due to your concealment of the truth regarding the deaths of numerous nobles during the previous hunting incident, the following judgment is hereby made!"

"Ito Makoto's identity as Fourth Division Vice-Captain is revoked, and he is expelled from the Gotei 13, never to be re-employed!"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Ito Makoto even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears and he had misheard. He never expected Central 46 to make such a judgment.

"Kazumichi Asayuki really hit the nail on the head!"

Not to mention Aizen, Ito Makoto even had an impulse to activate Bankai on the spot and cut down these idiots with one strike...

When he thought that these people would be killed by Aizen in a few decades, he felt much better.

However, these old stubborn fools really knew how to court death!

"Should I also find an opportunity to slaughter all of Central 46?"

But then he thought, he had already learned most of the Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hoho, and Kidō he needed to master, so leaving the Gotei 13 now would not result in any loss for him. In fact, it might not even be a bad thing.
