Part 16

Ichibe abandoned the mission to find this secret organization. It would take a lot of time and he might not even find it. But there was more time in the future to get to it when the Gotei 13 had gotten big enough and their information network has spread far enough.

For now, he was going to rob some people of their money and transfer it to different accounts around the world and wash it clean.

He had done this a lot, to get funds for the Gotei 13. Because they needed a lot of starting capital.

Some events would happen in a few years or so. All those movies were going to happen in 2008 or something like that.

But there were newer movies that depicted events in the 1990s.

There would be some unfortunate events that Ichibe might be able to change slightly.

And even if he couldn't change anything, he was going to have fun should he have to fight. Oh, just thinking about it was making him giddy.

Ichibe made his way to the United States of America. He was here to acquire some properties and land. And so that he remains unrecognised, he has used a special Kanji that he created.

He used the Kanji for disguise. This made him appear like another person for each person he meets. So everyone would think he looks like a different man.

The way this worked was that he drew the Kanji somewhere on his person. Then he would send spirit energy towards the Kanji and activate it. He got the idea from the paper bombs from Naruto.

Ichibe got to the first state he wanted to buy land. And that was Wyoming. It was good for him as it was the least populated state in America.

He was going to have some of his people build here after they have taken over Shanghai. Because after that he will have the Gotei 13 buy some construction companies in the US.

Other states he is going to buy land are North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Idaho.

Ichibe got to Wyoming and activated the Kanji. He had all the right papers and the money was from legal businesses.

So he did not expect any trouble or that he got on the radar of SHIELD. But you never know. There was a chance that they would notice that someone was buying a lot of real estate/land. But he had different accounts that he used and he even looked different. Therefore he also had a special ID that he made himself.

Just like the Kanji disguise, his ID has one like that as well. And the way people see him is the same as his ID. There would be one problem though. On the off chance that two or more people want to see his ID at the same time and call him by his name, they would realize that they don't call the same name.

But that was a slim chance, and he had a solution for that.

(Time skip 1 week later)

The proceedings Ichibe had to go through were terrible. He did not like it one bit. It took so long.

But now the Gotei 13 owned lot of land in the USA. And not just that. Ichibe had already made deals with certain construction firms that would build on his land.

Those construction firms were specifically chosen. Because Ichibe assumed that the captains of the three divisions were going to claim Shanghai very soon.

So after that, he will use that to buy those construction companies. That way he uses a brilliant move. He has two ways into the USA. One via the land he bought and the properties that would go on them.

And another was through the construction companies.

So no matter what SHIELD finds out, they will bite granite as he buys his own alibi so to speak.

Should SHIELD question the workers of the construction site, they will tell them what Ichibe wants them to and should SHIELD observe the land that he bought, he will use his powers to make it seem like there is nothing to see.

So Ichibe took all the papers he had and went back to China. He was going to leave these things with the 3rd division. They could communicate with him anyway, so if there is something, he'll know it right away.

So, after two weeks, Ichibe had finally gotten back to Kamar-Taj. The Ancient One knew of his absence and she also knew of the Gotei 13. She knew that because he had told her.

She was bound to find out that there is a new group, that is infesting China more and more. That would have made her suspicious and maybe she would have investigated herself.

That was not a problem but it would have stained the relationship Ichibe had with her. He had nothing to hide, but it was always better to tell her than if she had to find out herself.

And it would have been even more of a problem after he gives his captains a Zanpakuto.

Giving powers away like that was dangerous and he knew that. But they were hand-picked by him and he trusted them. He trusted them even more now after he gave them their Asauchi because he knew the names of their Zanpakuto and he knew where the Zanpakuto were at all times.

Added to that, he could take away the power of the Zanpakuto whenever he wished.

So basically, by accepting and bonding with the Asauchi, the three captains gave Ichibe a door to their soul, which he could access whenever he wished.

So Ichibe had planned things in advance. What he absolutely did not want, was for someone to copy the Asauchi or steal them. So he had to make preparations in case this happens.

He managed to do that. Now he had an on-and-off switch, should that ever get necessary.

"Portal.", Ichibe said the word and an orange portal opened to his room in Kamar-Taj.

He did not need a sling ring or moves to do the spells. Just the name was enough for him and using his thoughts he got to the right location whenever he wished.
