Help! I am bound to Aizen!

Chapter 101

"You, what are you talking about?!" Kuchiki K?ga said instinctively. 

Kaelith Yurei was taken aback. 

"Do you have trouble hearing?" 

"Of course not!" Kuchiki K?ga responded, both shocked and angry. 

Had this guy overheard his complaint about his father-in-law? 

And what kind of attitude was this towards him, a son-in-law of the Kuchiki family? Was this how a commoner should act towards one of the Five Great Noble Families? 

But then, recalling what Kaelith Yurei had just proposed, he couldn't help but feel a sudden surge of excitement. 

His father had asked for his help; if they really decided to collaborate, he would surely be one of the planners. 

Just a nod from him would greatly increase his own chances of involvement! 

Thinking this, a fervor appeared in Kuchiki K?ga's eyes. 

"Are you really willing to include me?" 

He couldn't help but ask. 

Although he hadn't been a noble for long, he had learned a bit about the conflicts of interest among the nobility. 

Like today, Kuchiki Ginrei asking for help was actually an act of indebting himself. 

At such times, Kaelith Yurei and Shih?in Yoruichi would surely try to increase their own leverage to gain the maximum benefit and share from the situation. 

Without a doubt, he would be relegated to a peripheral role, hardly involved in the core of the plan. 

That's why he had been so eager to volunteer earlier. 

And yet he had been scolded for it. 

Kaelith Yurei nodded and said, "Of course, why not? 

"You clearly have the strength and sufficient loyalty to the Kuchiki family; it would be strange not to use it. 

"How many captain-level fighters are there in the entire Soul Society? Someone like you, undefeated since your debut, is quite rare. 

"Not making use of you would be a waste of resources." 

Hearing Kaelith Yurei's words, Kuchiki K?ga imperceptibly puffed out his chest. 

This guy, although annoying in tone, still made some sense. 

Unexpectedly, compared to his father-in-law, it was a youngster who understood him better... 

Looking at Kaelith Yurei squatting on the tree branch, he nodded. 

"Thank you." 

"Hey, no need for thanks. We're both sons-in-law; we should help each other out." 

Kaelith Yurei waved his hand and flashed a grin. 

Kuchiki K?ga was taken aback. 

Both sons-in-law? 

Realizing what that meant, he was shocked. 

"You and the Shih?in..." 

"Shush, shush, this is still a secret. It can't be known by others yet." 

Kaelith Yurei raised his index finger, stopping Kuchiki K?ga's words. 

"Not even old man Kuchiki knows about this yet." 

Kuchiki K?ga quickly nodded. 

Indeed, the Captain-Commander's apprentice and the head of the Shih?in family getting married would be big news in the Soul Society. 

Then, he couldn't help but wonder. 

This guy, why would he reveal such an important secret to him? 

Seeing what he was thinking, Kaelith Yurei jumped down from the tree and stood in front of him. 

Under Kuchiki K?ga's gaze, Kaelith Yurei said solemnly: 

"The rebellion has lasted too long. 

"Countless people have lost their homes and loved ones because of this war. 

"This shouldn't continue any longer. 

"Captain Yamamoto once told me, the Soul Society needs someone to step forward to help end this war. 

"And you, Kuchiki K?ga, are one of the best candidates in his eyes!" 

Hearing this, Kuchiki K?ga's eyes widened. 

"The Captain-Commander said that?!" His face flushed for a moment. 

He hadn't expected that the Captain-Commander would see him in such a light! 

Kaelith Yurei nodded. 

"That's right." 

"Lord Kuchiki, in you, I see relentless passion and a burning sense of justice," said Kaelith Yurei. 

"I was somewhat skeptical when my teacher mentioned it, but after today's interaction, I'm starting to believe it. 

"So, please rest assured, if we can achieve cooperation, I will definitely recommend you." 

Kuchiki K?ga's breathing became a bit rapid. 

Looking at Kaelith Yurei, he couldn't help but show a grateful expression. 

"Thank you, Lord Kaelith... Thank you for your trust! 

"Please tell the Captain-Commander that I will not fail his expectations!" 

Kaelith Yurei smiled and nodded. 

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he looked towards the sword at Kuchiki K?ga's waist. 

"By the way, Lord Kuchiki, I remember teacher saying that your sword can awaken the consciousness of other people's Zanpakut??" 

Hearing Kaelith Yurei's sudden shift in topic, Kuchiki K?ga paused, then nodded. 

"Exactly." 

He lifted his Zanpakut?. 

"My sword, named Muramasa, can awaken the consciousness in other people's Zanpakut? and amplify their emotions! 

"A Zanpakut? and its wielder are like comrades-in-arms on the same side. 

"Even if they are close on normal days, there will always be some friction, forming grievances in their hearts. 

"Normally, these grievances don't affect anything. Not just for Soul Reapers and their Zanpakut?, but also between lovers, parents, and children—it's impossible not to have any dissatisfaction after long periods together. 

"But... Muramasa can amplify these emotions by infinitely magnifying the Zanpakut?'s grievances, causing them to harbor resentment towards their master. 

"As the resentment grows, the Zanpakut? might even turn against its wielder on the battlefield and attack them!" 

Kuchiki K?ga spoke fluently, explaining the abilities of his Zanpakut?. 

To him, since Kaelith Yurei was Yamamoto's disciple, such information would be easy to come by, and there was no need to hide it. 

Furthermore, since he recognized him as a friend and Kaelith Yurei had shown such approval, it would be too despicable to keep secrets from him. 

Hearing Kuchiki K?ga's explanation, Kaelith Yurei looked eager. 

"Then, Lord Kuchiki, could you try using that ability on me?" 

"…Eh?" 

Kuchiki K?ga showed a puzzled expression. 

He hesitated. 

"Lord Kaelith, I was very clear... My ability causes Zanpakut? to generate resentment towards their master, which is uncontrollable and irreversible. 

"If your sword really gets affected, you'll have to persuade it yourself to recognize you again. 

"It's very dangerous to do this at such a crucial time. What if it causes you to lose your combat ability?" 

Kaelith Yurei shook his head indifferently. 

"No worries, go ahead. Even if I temporarily can't use my sword, it won't affect me." 

Hearing this, Kuchiki K?ga, though somewhat baffled, nodded his head. 

To prevent the release of their Zanpakut? from being detected and violating the laws of the Soul Society, the two used Kido to set up a barrier that isolated their spiritual pressure. 

With Kaelith Yurei watching intently, Kuchiki K?ga's expression became serious as he raised his Zanpakut?. 

"Be careful, Lord Kaelith, I'm starting." 

As he spoke, his spiritual pressure began to rise. 

"Whisper, Muramasa!"
