Chapter 69 Playing the role of Saito, who is immortal
Chapter 69 Playing the role of Saito, who is immortal
Toshiro Hitsugaya was completely thrown into chaos.
Seeing her like this, Unohana frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. She just felt that Unohana had been seriously injured before, which might have affected her brain.
She had just heard from Kirinji Temple that many people had gone mad, so perhaps the person who attacked the Seireitei possessed the ability to launch mental attacks.
Then it's understandable why Saito has become like this.
"Although it seems like nothing's wrong right now, it's still best to get checked out."
Unohana walked over, took Saito's hand, and began to examine her.
At this moment, Hitsugaya was still in a state of confusion and did not realize Unohana's actions. After Unohana finished checking, she confirmed that Saito was not seriously injured.
Although she is still very weak, she is not in any danger to her life and will recover in a few days.
In the current Soul Society, she should be considered to have the least severe injuries.
So Unohana said, "You're alright now. If you feel fine, go to the Soul Society and help out. See if there are any people in the ruins who need help."
It was only then that Hitsugaya realized she was in the Soul Society.
The Soul Society has been destroyed like this.
Although this wasn't the Soul Society she remembered, and she hadn't quite figured out what was going on, she was, after all, the captain of the Gotei 13, so upon hearing this, she nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll go take a look right away."
Hitsugaya is still a little uncomfortable with the woman's voice coming from his mouth, but it would be good to find a secluded place to check his current condition.
She needs to sort out her thoughts.
Including the information about "assassin" that appeared in her mind, which seemed quite different from any of the abilities she remembered.
In Saito's immortal memories, most of the situation in Soul Society could be matched with Hitsugaya's memories, including the Zanpakuto's Shikai and Bankai. However, the power of "Assassin" was something she had never heard of before.
Hitsugaya had never heard of her, nor had Saito. It was during this battle that something suddenly entered her body, granting her this ability!
She was still very weak, but as long as she could move, that was fine. However, the more she walked, the more frightened she became. Although she already knew from Saito's memories that the Soul Society had been destroyed, seeing it with her own eyes still filled her with shock and anger.
This world...
Something is wrong!
Although Hitsugaya was young, she was very responsible as the captain and worked very hard in school. She had both superb talent and extraordinary effort, which combined to make her a powerful captain in just over forty years.
Unfortunately, during the war against the Quincy, her painstakingly cultivated Bankai was stolen, and by the time her Bankai returned, her body could no longer support it.
She is very anxious because she wants to return to her own timeline. Her Soul Society is also in imminent danger. Matsumoto is waiting for her, and the 10th Division and the Soul Society need her!
Some people in the Soul Society were still digging through the ruins, while she went to a quiet place, sat down to rest, and thought about how to get back.
Boundary demarcation? Impasse?
While the Kyuto does indeed possess the ability to allow people to travel through time, it is virtually impossible for someone to travel through a thousand years.
No one could withstand such a historical backlash, and her transmigration this time was definitely not due to any rebellion.
Most importantly, is the Three Realms she's currently in truly the same as the Three Realms she was in?!
The thought that she might never be able to go back filled her with heartache, and she instinctively covered her chest with her hand.
But after feeling that softness against her chest, she immediately stood up like a startled kitten!
"..."
Hitsugaya could only rub her forehead with one hand, taking a deep breath: "Captain-Commander Yamamoto... could he know something?"
She's desperate and grasping at straws right now, but when Yamamoto was in the Gotei 13, he was like a patriarch. So when something happened to her, the captain, she would naturally think of Captain-Commander Yamamoto first.
Even though Yamamoto hasn't created the Gotei 13 yet, and isn't the Captain-Commander, she can still only tentatively ask Yamamoto.
She had just turned around to ask when she stopped after taking a few steps.
Calm down! Calm down!
You can't ask now!
She knew very well that at this time, Captain-Commander Yamamoto was still the leader of a group of villains and the head of assassins, not the future leader of the Grim Reapers who took it upon himself to maintain the order of the three realms.
If he were to find out that she was no longer the immortal Saito, or if he thought she had lost her mind like Unohana did before, or if he felt that he had been possessed by some unknown being, then she herself might be in danger.
Now, when Yamamoto gets ruthless, he's completely capable of showing no mercy to even his own family; his subordinates are nothing more than expendable resources in his eyes.
And as I said before, what she doesn't know, Yamamoto certainly doesn't know now either; that kind of dependent thinking is unacceptable.
Furthermore, Yamamoto is currently seriously injured and unconscious, so there's no point in me going there.
Instead of asking Yamamoto, it's better to investigate it yourself.
After she calmed down, she realized that she might not be able to go back in a short time, so she could only slowly look for clues to return.
If we follow the historical development, then Saito would have been the first captain of the Sixth Division, a person with considerable power in Soul Society. She could have used her captaincy to conduct investigations in secret.
The only problem is...
This means I might spend a very long time here.
But considering this happened a thousand years ago, once we get back...
Perhaps time is not synchronized with the world?
So...
Let's use Saito's immortal identity to survive in this familiar yet strange world for now!
After making up his mind, Hitsugaya joined the Soul Society's rescue team and rescued the souls trapped in the ruins.
Even if it's not in the same timeline, this is still the Soul Society, and as the captain of the Gotei 13, she naturally has to protect them.
The Gotei 13, a thousand years later, still have a strong sense of justice, completely different from the assassin groups of today.
And now she wants to see someone...
Yoriichi Tsugikuni...
As Hitsugaya spent more and more time in Saito's body, she became more and more familiar with Saito's memories, and thus realized that this world had gained an important person compared to her own.
That's Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
