"Manager, you're on the list"

At the same time.

It's not just the secret underground room of the Fifth Division.

The same thing happened in every corner of Seireitei.

Main office of Gotei 13.

"What's this?"

An old voice rang out.

His eyebrows, white as willow branches, furrowed as the captain, managing team affairs at his desk, stared at the suddenly appearing transparent light curtain, a strong vigilance creasing his weathered face.

Not long ago.

A two-meter-high transparent light curtain appeared in the room without warning.

The image on the light curtain is exactly the same as what Aizen's trio saw. It's the inventory video that inexplicably appeared.

"Soul Reaper World Inventory, Top Fifteen Powers Ranking?"

Reading the text on the video, the captain wasn't curious but instead slammed his wooden box with force, showing a displeased expression.

He is the strongest Soul Reaper of the millennium.

No matter how others rank privately, the old man always holds the top spot.

This is an indisputable fact.

Therefore, the captain has always been indifferent to strength ranking matters, even ordering discussions on it in public to be prohibited.

And the light curtain that suddenly appeared before him.

It first reminded him of Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the Frankenstein who always did as he pleased with a wild and unrestricted style.

This scene unfolded before him.

Possibly Mayuri Kurotsuchi's latest scientific experiment.

"Chōjirō, contact Research and Development. Find out what's going on" From his low tone, it's clear the chief captain is getting a little annoyed.

He's old-fashioned and conservative and doesn't appreciate jokes.

If he hadn't realized the situation, he would have immediately torn down the light curtain in front of him.

"Yes, Captain"

Chōjirō Sasakibe, the Western elder, was about to leave the team office after a respectful reply.

Suddenly, the screen flickered.

And then the inventory began.

[No. 15]

[The Strongest Brain, Kisuke Urahara]

....

"Kisuke Urahara?"

Staring at this long-lost yet familiar name.

In Captain Yamamoto's pupils, a wave suddenly appeared, unconsciously stopping the elder. "Chōjirō, wait"

"Captain, do you doubt that this is Kisuke Urahara's handiwork?" As an old subordinate for many years, Chōjirō Sasakibe guessed the chief's inner thoughts just through his eyes.

"That's right, if it's him, he's indeed capable of something like this. But what is the purpose behind doing this?" The captain's furrowed brows revealed a look of doubt.

Kisuke Urahara.

The man who once surprised him and founded the Research and Development Department has long been buried in his memory.

Since he deserted the Soul Society that year.

News about Kisuke Urahara vanished forever like a stone sinking in the sea.

After a hundred years.

In this manner, Kisuke Urahara appeared before him again, accidentally sparking the captain's curiosity.

"If he wants to demonstrate his abilities, logically he shouldn't be ranked last, let alone his strength not being among the top fifteen."

The captain pondered for a moment and then expressed his internal thoughts.

It's not that he underestimates Kisuke Urahara.

In the elder's impression, during Kisuke Urahara's captaincy years, his scientific research was impeccable, otherwise the Research and Development Department would not have been established.

But.

In terms of combat power, Kisuke Urahara's performance was mediocre, and he didn't even perform some shots.

Therefore.

The captain doesn't quite believe it.

With Kisuke Urahara's strength, he qualifies to be among the top fifteen strongest Soul Reapers.

"Do you want to continue watching?" Chōjirō Sasakibe suggested unconsciously.

Listening to the video's background music.

His curiosity was also deeply attracted.

"Hmm... keep watching"

Yamamoto stared fixedly at the light curtain.

Torch-shaped eyes exude the unique power of a superior.

....

[Current World]

Karakura Town, Urahara Grocery Store.

"I'm leaving! What on earth is this?"

"Tallying up Soul Reapers, what's the top fifteen ranking? Manager, you're on the list"

In the grocery store, Tessai Tsukabishi, dressed in old work clothes, took off his old reflective glasses and exclaimed in disbelief.

At this moment.

A transparent light curtain suddenly appeared.

Tessai Tsukabishi's first reaction was that it was a prank by the store manager.

But upon thinking, just a few minutes ago, he had just handed Kisuke Urahara a handful of medicine, who was now squatting on the toilet.

He dispelled the doubt.

"Is this Gotei 13's doing?" Tsukabishi frowned.

Projecting images out of nowhere.

Perhaps only the Research and Development Department has that capability.

Could it be...

Has his whereabouts been discovered?

Thinking this, Tsukabishi's expression gradually turned serious.

"Tessai, what are you talking about?"

"What kind of power stands face to face and I'm on the list? I should be in first place!"

At this moment.

The bathroom door opened and Urahara came out clutching his stomach in pain.

"Manager, didn't you clean it up?" Tessai sniffed and stepped back with disgust on his face.

"Do you have the nerve to say that. It's not like you forced me to take the medicine, I've been squatting here for an hour" Although there was a tone of complaint in his mouth, Urahara's expression clearly showed that he didn't really care.

It's obvious that he's long become numb to this kind of joke.

"Hey... what's this?"

After complaining.

Urahara soon noticed the existence of the transparent light curtain.

Looking at the video screen and the text before it, his reaction was the same as Tessai's, and he immediately thought of Gotei 13.

"Is this a trap deliberately set by Gotei 13?"

"Probably"

"But that said, is the Research and Development Department's level already this advanced?"

Urahara frowned.

He picked up a bottle of soy sauce wine from the shelf next to him and threw it at the transparent light curtain.

Then he was astonished to learn.

That bottle of soy sauce actually pierced through the entire light curtain and caused no substantial damage.

"This is interesting..."

Seeing this scene, Urahara's eyes immediately burst into bright light.

"Store manager, what do you say? Could it be Aizen's doing?"

Tessai felt vaguely uncomfortable.

Besides Gotei 13, he soon began to suspect Aizen.

That man made them miserable back then.

"I'm not sure either."

Urahara shook his head and quickly relaxed. He gently pulled down his fisherman's hat and said in a calm tone. "But instead of randomly guessing, why not keep watching? Anyway, the grocery business has been bleak lately, so it's a good time to pass the time."

"Besides..."

"Don't draw conclusions before understanding the situation."

Urahara emphasized.

"That makes sense"

Tessai Tsukabishi nodded. "Speaking of which, I should be on the list too, right?"

"Hey, do you think you're better than me?" Urahara smiled cheerfully.

"Otherwise? Don't forget I used to be the head of the Kido Corps" Tessai Tsukabishi purposely straightened up, not wanting to be left behind.

"Forget it, you're still in the monkey year and you have the nerve to say that"

Kisuke Urahara rolled his eyes contemptuously.

Just as they were talking, the light curtain flickered.

Then the next screen appeared.

Outskirts.

In the lush forest, traces of explosions are everywhere, indicating a battle is underway.

After a few seconds.

With clogs on his feet and a Zanpakutō in his hand, Kisuke Urahara has just appeared.

A crimson flash came from behind.
