Chapter 478: Forced Position
Wang Jian, Karakura Town!
Hong Jiang suddenly realized. He was still wondering before. According to Yamamoto's worst-case scenario, he would probably be the candidate for the captain-general, but he did a lot of things, which was incompatible with the conservative and self-contained Seireitei.
It would have been fine if he hadn't been exposed before. When he openly asked for the position of captain of the fifth division and opened the Joint Working Bureau, he and the Joint Working Bureau were a time bomb in the eyes of many people.
How could he be entrusted with the important task of the captain-general?
Even though the influence of the reconstruction of the 46th Chamber has dropped to the lowest level in history, the remaining two nobles have not been affected much.
For the benefit of Seireitei, the two nobles can make some compromises with Hong Jiang, but if the war is over, their eyes will be on him.
If the position of the captain-general is given to him at this time, aren't the two nobles afraid that Seireitei will turn the world upside down after the war?
Before making these decisions, Yamamoto did not inform the 46th Chamber, the rest, or even the four nobles, and Hongjiang would not believe it at all.
If old man Yamamoto was really a man who had the final say in his field, to tell the truth, he would not allow the 46th Chamber to dictate for two thousand years!
So, what made them finally reach a consensus to appoint the captain of the Gotei 13, who was almost on par with the Central 46th Chamber, to him, Chouzuka Hongjiang, a "potential threat" who was not much better than Aizen?
In fact, it was very simple, that is, to force his position, so that he could only choose between the Seireitei and the Co-working Bureau he wanted to set up!
Imagine if the situation really developed according to the worst situation Yamamoto had set.
At that time, he would have to face a choice, either to sacrifice Karakura Town to eliminate Aizen, or to refuse to sacrifice Karakura Town. Under the premise that Yamamoto chose to perish with Aizen and failed, he did not have a third choice.
And behind this choice, it is the choice of position.
If he chooses to sacrifice Karakura Town, then as the executor, he will naturally have an unhealable rift with Ichigo and others, and Ichigo and others will even be forced to the opposite side of the Soul Society.
By that time, his so-called joint work bureau will naturally fail, and in the worst case, he will have to personally kill these "members" he wants to recruit.
There is no need to even consider Urahara and Yoruichi. If they have to choose between the world and a city, these two people will definitely choose the world, including Hiroe.
Once the joint work bureau is over, Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi were wronged at the beginning. Under this premise, there is no reason for Hiroe's position not to be on the side of the Soul Society.
As for whether he has ambitions, with the first generation Kenpachi Ue no Hana Yachiryu, the unlimited potential of Kenpachi Zaraki, the man with many means, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, and the head of the Kuchiki family, Byakuya Kuchiki, will they let him mess around?
Even if it is rebuilt, the Gotei 13 will definitely be restored to the same mode as a thousand years ago at the fastest speed. Although Hongjiang can compete with Aizen, he is not Aizen after all. Once he is placed in that position, he has no room for freedom.
It can be expected that he will either be a good captain-general conscientiously, or he will be the captain-general with the least freedom in the history of Soul Society. Such an ending is completely acceptable to both Yamamoto and the four nobles.
And if Hongjiang insists on maintaining his own work bureau and does not choose to do it himself, there are also Byakuya, Kurotsuchi Mayuri and others who will do something to Karakura Town. They are here to do this.
As for his work bureau afterward, he still can't keep it, and it's not certain whether he can even be the captain of the fifth division.
As for becoming the next Aizen? At that time, only Ichigo and others may follow him. Urahara and Yoruichi, as his best friends, will not be the ones who really want to oppose Soul Society. They still recognize their identity as death gods from the bottom of their hearts.
If we say that Karakura Town might be sacrificed in the previous life, it was because of the choice made by Yamamoto and others, which reflected the indifference of the god of death. Although I am sorry for Ichigo, as mentioned before, the choice between the whole world and a city is not difficult.
Then the worst case scenario this time is that Karakura Town must be sacrificed, that is, there is no one to suppress Yamamoto. With his intention to change the Soul Society with the Collaboration Bureau, and give him the identity of a hero, it will be really difficult to move at that time.
What a good calculation!
Hongjiang's eyes gradually became cold: "I have figured it all out, Byakuya. You have already made the worst possible situation, but why are you still hesitating so much."
He took a deep breath and continued in a deep voice: "You are really great. With the war ahead, you still have the leisure to think about how to deal with me. You are really big-hearted!"
For the first time, Byakuya's calm expression fluctuated, and Unohana's treatment suddenly stopped. Kurotsuchi Mayuri also put away his previous attitude of indifference and looked at Hongjiang with interest.
"I don't understand what you're talking about, Chouzuka."
Bai Ya pretended to know nothing, but his momentary loss of composure just now proved that Hong Jiang's guess was not false.
Hong Jiang snorted coldly: "I'm too lazy to expose you anymore. I just want to correct my previous mistake now!"
Bai Ya and the other two put away their expressions. They could feel that Hong Jiang's momentum was quietly changing at this moment. What he was going to say next might shock a lot of people.
"The worst situation is not that even if Karakura Town is sacrificed, it can't stop Aizen. Do you know what it is?"
Hongjiang glanced at the faces of Byakuya and Kurotsuchi Mayuri, and said lightly: "I am joining forces with Aizen now, isn't it just to see the Soul King? Even if there is no Karakura Town, I don't believe there is no other way! Don't forget, Yoruichi and Urahara have been to the Soul King Palace. I know this. Even if you need a king key, you don't necessarily need to make it yourself!"
"Chouzuka!"
"I knew that you are a lunatic like me." Kurotsuchi Mayuri laughed.
Unohana shook her head, and her palm completely left Hongjiang's body, and naturally grasped the hilt of the sword: "You are too much, Hongjiang."
"Innex!"
"Okay, Lord Chouzuka!"
Innex, who was watching everything from the side, waved his huge palm, and Hongjiang, who was sitting on the ground, quickly moved in his direction like a stretched figure.
Unohana drew her sword instantly, and the flash of the sword disappeared without a trace of Hongjiang. She looked to the left and saw Hongjiang sitting cross-legged on the palm of Inex. Except for the change of position, he looked exactly the same as before.
"Can you skillfully cut, devour and release space? Interesting guy." Kurotsuchi Mayuri said leisurely, and his right hand unconsciously placed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Byakuya had even drawn his Zanpakutō, and gritted his teeth at Hongjiang and said, "What are you going to do, Chouzuka Hongjiang!"
Hongjiang's pale lips curved slightly, "I just want to know, the situation I just said is the worst..."
"Do you agree?"
