NOVEL NEXT Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Position
It was a great sense of relief for Rukia to see Byakuya again.
After her elder brother last broke up from them earlier, they didn't know what the situation was.
They could only vaguely feel that a huge battle broke out there.
Now seeing her elder brother again, although his clothes were torn and he looked a little embarrassed, but generally speaking, there was nothing wrong with him.
Yes.
This made her a little happy and relieved.
"Nii-sama, what is going on?"
Then, Rukia looked at the people next to him, for Unohana, she didn't need to say anything, everyone were familiar with her and she also appeared to be okay, but it was Maki, and Zaraki, who was carried by him and was comatose, made people have curious and worried about their situation.
"Something big has happened."
Regarding Mazuru's betrayal, Byakuya was somewhat reluctant to mention it.
He shifted his attention and looked at the garganta that was open, "This should be a garganta, right? You guys got in touch with Urahara Kisuke?"
Ichigo and others came to Hueco Mundo not through Soul Society, but with the help of a garganta opened up by Kisuke.
At the moment, Ichigo and others were gathered here around a garganta, so Byakuya took it for granted that this was opened by Kisuke.
"No, this is not opened by Urahara-san."
Then Rukia explained what happened just now.
Knowing that Mazuru ordered the Espada named Ulquiorra to open it, Byakuya's face sank again.
Rukia also asked Byakuya the question she had in her heart, "Nii-sama, Captain Mazuru..."
"Don't mention him, he is a traitor, I will definitely capture him back with my own hands!"
Byakuya looked very angry.
Seeing that her elder brother was so angry, Rukia stopped asking him any more questions, and then she looked at Unohana.
Unohana explained the situation in a few words to them, and they realized that Mazuru was always in cahoots with Aizen, and he always has been a traitor.
After knowing that Mazuru was also a traitor, another problem came into their minds.
"Nii-sama, should we still choose to step into this garganta?"
If Mazuru was a traitor, it was debatable where exactly this garganta leads to. What if Mazuru tricked them, and the opposite side was not Karakura Town, but a trap set by the enemy?
Byakuya also fell silent.
Unohana gave an answer for this, "If you have made up your mind to go to Karakura Town to fight, you can step into it. Don't worry, he will not deceive you about this kind of thing."
"Captain Unohana…" Byakuya turned his head and looked at Unohana, wondering why she would speak for Mazuru.
"Hasn't Captain Kuchiki understood yet?" Unohana said, "If he had made up his mind to kill us, he would have done it from the beginning, and he would never have wasted his time like that and let Captain Zaraki become stronger step by step and break his enchantment."
Byakuya fell silent because he too had realized this point.
"Then why is he?" Although he was very angry about Mazuru's betrayal, but after all, he was his teacher, Byakuya still had some expectations for him, otherwise, he would not have thought about capturing Mazuru and taking him back to the Soul Society, instead of killing him directly.
"I don't know the exact reason." Unohana shook her head and said, "Also, don't you think the timing of his choice of betrayal is subtle?"
"The timing is subtle?"
"That's right."
Unohana responded, "Aizen Sosuke is currently in a decisive battle against the Soul Society, and he could have waited until the result of the decisive battle is out before exposing himself, but he did it now. It might be that he has confidence in Aizen and thinks that in this battle Aizen will definitely win, but even if he has such confidence in Aizen, he has been in the Soul Society for many years, and he should know the strength of the head-captain, and understand that there will always be some variables when the head-captain makes a move."
"If he just waited for a while, until after the final result comes out, and when the Soul Society side wins, he could have completely hidden himself and continued to be the captain of his Third Division."
"On the other hand, if the Aizen side wins, as someone who follows Aizen, he would have been fine."
"But why now." Byakuya also understood these abnormalities, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and Mazuru's face flashed in his mind, 'What are you thinking?'
'What's your position?'
…
"What exactly is your position?"
Sojiro asked Mazuru.
Ulquiorra and Grimmjow didn't dare to ask Mazuru such a question, but Sojiro didn't have such restrictions.
"In your opinion, what is defined as someone's position?"
Mazuru asked a question back to Sojiro.
"Perhaps you think that I followed Aizen from a long time ago, so I can be regarded as on Aizen's side, and Aizen and Soul Society are in a hostile relationship, so facing these captains of Soul Society, I should be ruthless, and it is best to kill them all, right?"
Sojiro indeed thought so.
Mazuru changed his tone again, and said, "But after following Aizen, I have been in Soul Society for many years after all. People, after all, have feelings. Even if they were ruthless at first, after many years of contact with everyone, they will eventually going to be some shifts in their emotions."
"Humph!"
Sojiro scoffed, he didn't expect Mazuru to be such an indecisive and emotional person.
He had already chosen to be in the hostile camp against the Soul Society, and he still doesn't want to kill them right now, should he wait until the Soul Society liquidates him?
"Whether it's Aizen or me, our enemy has never been the Soul Society, or shinigami itself."
"Perhaps for you, because of Central 46's trial of you, you hate the Soul Society very much, but in fact, do you really hate the Soul Society? No, to be precise, it should be the system of the Soul Society that you hate."
"Obviously you didn't do anything wrong, but because of a word from those in power, you were inexplicably charged with guilt and was executed. This kind of thing, no matter who it happens to, will not have any good feelings."
"In the Soul Society, shinigami, although they have great strength, but even Gotei 13 actually are inferior in terms of "power" to those nobles who hide behind the scenes."
"The many big and small nobles headed by a few big nobles are the real rulers of the Soul Society."
"The seemingly impartial Central 46 is nothing more than a group of maggots elected to protect the rights and interests of the nobility."
"And this unfair system headed by the nobles was already doomed from the moment the Five Great Nobles joined forces to raise their hand against the Soul King. So don't you think it's unfair? Who made these people superior from the very beginning? What have they done to get such undeserved power?"
