Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456: Chapter 456: How to Move Forward

Yamamoto had heard that several captains had "rebelled," so he came to the 1st Division personally to understand the situation.

On the way, he speculated to himself.

Had his young disciple acted recklessly, abusing the authority of the Captain-Commander and doing something excessive that provoked the captains’ collective outrage?

But when he arrived, the news he heard was earth-shattering.

This disciple of his had really given him a shock!

A twitch ran through the corner of Yamamoto’s eye.

Taking action against the Central 46 Compound? What was that supposed to mean?

That was the highest authority in all of Seireitei!

I’ve only been retired for a few years, and now you’re trying to turn everything upside down!?

His thoughts raced like a torrent, and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto quickly grasped just how audacious these two young men were.

The overwhelming tide was already surging forward, and Yamamoto pushed aside his troubling thoughts with sheer will.

Masatsuki Aozaki might still treat him with a good degree of respect. Sōsuke Aizen might be known throughout Seireitei as a mild-mannered man.

But he would bet anything—if these two really planned to act against the Central 46 Compound’s top brass, they would show no mercy.

"What exactly is going on?"

Yamamoto’s deep voice rang out.

He closed the door, slowly stepped into the room, and took the seat at the head of the table, his expression calm and unworried.

He showed no concern that his disciple might turn his blade against someone who had long supported the nobility.

Masatsuki Aozaki’s lips curved slightly into a faint smile.

He poured a cup of hot tea, gently placed it in front of the old man, and calmly explained:

"It seems there’s an enemy hiding in the shadows, capable of replicating the appearance of Shinigami—creating impostors with the aim of threatening Seireitei."

"As Captain-Commander, I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing."

The atmosphere grew tense.

Yamamoto had led the Gotei 13 for over a thousand years. Though somewhat stubborn in nature, he was far from foolish.

After just a few words, this seasoned elder saw through what the two younger men had in mind. He couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

"What you’re planning... it’s nothing short of madness."

"If even a single step goes wrong, the consequences could be irreparably severe."

He lifted his teacup, took a small sip, and went on:

"The aristocracy has ruled Seireitei for over a million years."

"The best we were able to achieve was replacing them with the Central 46 Compound—replacing the chaos of a dark age with rule of law."

"But what you’re attempting is to overturn everything—to shatter rules that have lasted for thousands of years. Have you really thought it through... what comes next?"

That was the true source of the former Captain-Commander’s worry.

He didn’t particularly care about the fate of the nobles.

The only reason they were spared a thousand years ago was because no one knew what to do without them.

The only thing he truly cared about... was the direction this world would take in the future.

As for what that future would look like?

Masatsuki Aozaki had no answer.

But he didn’t need one—because Aizen was by his side.

Masatsuki Aozaki replied softly:

"Master, please rest assured. Our current action is only to kill some of the nobles, with the aim of making them obey us."

"If this path really doesn’t work, it’s not too late to stop. We can’t even dare to try."

Masatsuki Aozaki smiled gently, with a confident gleam in his eyes.

"What’s more, I believe in the abilities of my Lieutenant, and he will definitely be able to manage the Seireitei."

Upon hearing this, Aizen straightened up slightly, and the smile on his face showed even more confidence.

Yamamoto glanced at him, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

However, when he saw Aizen’s expression full of confidence and determination, his heart couldn’t help but soften.

Looking at Aizen’s confident appearance, although Yamamoto still had some anxiety in his heart, he slowly nodded.
