Aizen’s expression hardened. “You know Kyoka Suigetsu?”

“Of course. Complete hypnosis of the five senses, right? Unfortunately for you, it doesn’t work on me.”

Shin revealed his Nine-Tomoe Rinne-Tenseigan. The terrifying ocular power made Aizen stumble back a few steps, his face turning pale.

“Is that also your Zanpakuto ability??”

Aizen had collected data on the Zanpakuto abilities of every captain and vice-captain, but the information on Shin’s was incredibly vague. According to the intel, it seemed to be a fire-type Zanpakuto, similar to Yamamoto’s.

“Actually… I have Kyoka Suigetsu, too.”

Shin drew the Zanpakuto at his waist, his voice calm as he uttered the release command.

<“Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu.”>

Aizen’s expression went blank for a moment before he broke free of the hypnosis.

“Hmm, it didn’t work?”

Shin then remembered the two ways to break Kyoka Suigetsu’s hypnosis: either don’t look at the release, or touch the blade of the Zanpakuto before the release.

Although Aizen had seen the release, he had touched the blade—not the blade of Shin’s Kyoka Suigetsu, but his own. Since both were the same sword, and Shin had copied it directly from Aizen, touching his own blade was enough to break the spell.

“…” Aizen’s legendary composure finally shattered. Kyoka Suigetsu was his greatest asset, the source of his pride. Discovering that his opponent also possessed it, Aizen couldn’t control his emotions. And how did he get it? It was nearly impossible for two identical Zanpakuto to exist.

“You got your Kyoka Suigetsu from me, didn’t you?”

As expected of a great antagonist, he quickly regained his composure and began to analyze the situation. He must have gotten it from him.

“You can guess,” Shin said with a playful smile.

With his greatest advantage gone, Aizen felt utterly helpless. He could do nothing. In the end, he had to compromise.

“What do you want, Captain Shin? If I’m not mistaken, you don’t intend to kill me, do you?”

Aizen stared at Shin. Surprisingly, he couldn’t sense any killing intent from him, as if Shin had no desire to kill him at all.

“Not bad. As expected of the man I have my eye on. You’re quite calm even now. You’re pretty good.”

Shin walked over and patted Aizen’s shoulder. A strange light flashed in Aizen’s eyes. This was a good opportunity. Shin seemed to have completely let his guard down. If he acted now, he would surely succeed. But after a moment of hesitation, Aizen didn’t act.

He had made the right choice. Even if he had attacked, could Aizen have really hurt Shin? No, the current Aizen wasn’t strong enough. At best, he was slightly stronger than an average captain. He was far from the God-like being he would become. Of course, even Aizen at his peak would be no match for Shin, let alone the current Aizen.

The reason Aizen didn’t act was that he sensed a crisis. A sudden feeling of danger made him instantly retract his hand. The sense of crisis was too strong, as if death awaited him if he acted. So Aizen suppressed the urge in his heart and didn’t act in the end.

“So, what are your intentions now, Captain Shin?”

“You can go.”

Shin waved at Aizen, who was stunned. He was actually letting him leave? Was he really not going to deal with him? He had guessed so many things. If any of this got out, Shin Uzumaki could become an enemy of the Seireitei.

“Aren’t you afraid, Captain Shin? What if I were to expose you as the intruder who broke into the Central 46 Compound all those years ago?” Aizen asked Shin.

“Go ahead, if you have the guts.” Shin smiled faintly. Was he afraid of Aizen talking? Even if Aizen did talk, how many people would believe him? He had no proof. Words alone were not enough.

Besides, Aizen probably wouldn’t want to make an enemy of Shin now. If he did, Shin had a hundred ways to play him to death.

“Then, farewell, Captain Shin.”

Aizen turned and left, not asking any more questions. Whatever Shin’s reason for letting him go, it was a good thing for him. His plans were not yet complete; Aizen didn’t want to die.

‘Another worthy adversary… How interesting.’ A fanatical smile spread across Aizen’s face. He was eagerly anticipating a rival who could match him.

Just like in the original story, Aizen deliberately trained Ichigo Kurosaki. If one didn’t know better, they might think Aizen was Ichigo’s real father.

Originally, Aizen had considered Kisuke Urahara a rival. He admitted that Urahara’s intellect surpassed his own. But after understanding Urahara and learning of his willingness to submit to Central 46, Aizen was very disappointed, feeling that Urahara was not worthy of being his opponent.

Only someone with the same ambition as him was worthy of being his rival, and this Shin Uzumaki he now knew definitely fit the bill.

As for Shin letting Aizen go, his purpose was to let Aizen continue his research on the Hōgyoku.

In the end, he would still need Aizen for the Hōgyoku. Relying solely on Kisuke Urahara was not enough. Urahara, after understanding the Hōgyoku’s power, even wanted to destroy it. So, in the end, he still had to rely on Aizen.

“Get up, little one. The act was convincing, I’ll give you that.”

Shin glanced at the little girl lying on the ground, which was Rangiku Matsumoto.

Gin Ichimaru, hiding in the distance, didn’t want to be discovered and deliberately hid far away, so he couldn’t hear what Shin was saying. But he saw Shin’s gaze turn to Rangiku Matsumoto and immediately became nervous. He clenched his fists. If Rangiku was in real danger, Gin would definitely rush out.

“You’re lucky to be alive. Your fate must not have been sealed yet. But you should be careful in the future. You might die one day.”

After Shin finished speaking calmly, he turned and left. Rangiku Matsumoto, who was lying on the ground, also raised her head, her eyes filled with fear.

If Shin hadn’t appeared, Rangiku Matsumoto definitely wouldn’t have survived as she did in the original story. After all, in the original story, Rangiku Matsumoto had only had a portion of her soul taken by a group of Shinigami under Aizen’s orders. But this time, she had encountered the mastermind, Aizen, himself.

She knew too much now. If Aizen wasn’t wary of Shin, he would have directly silenced Rangiku Matsumoto. Even Gin Ichimaru wouldn’t have escaped. Aizen had also discovered Gin.

But Aizen felt that Shin probably wouldn’t let Rangiku Matsumoto go either. After all, Rangiku Matsumoto might also know his secrets.

In fact, the current Rangiku Matsumoto didn’t know much. She hadn’t seen Aizen’s face. She had been completely unconscious before and had just woken up, only hearing the voices of Aizen and Shin.
