Chapter 8: Declaration of War

And that is the report from Squad 11 and Squad 9.

All right.

The following is from Squad 10... Agh!!!

Who's there?

This is our first meeting. I assume you are Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, head captain of the 13 Court Guard Squads.

We are here to declare war.

I must say, it was quite the surprise to be able to gain access to what could be called the 13 Court Guard Squad's head captain's private room, his office, this easily.

Perhaps your attention to security is a bit low?

I have nothing to fear.

I am here. There is no greater security than that.

I see.

That is your last moment of arrogance, Genryusai Yamamoto.

Sasakibe!!!

Don't mourn for him. He should be praised. He, by himself, has pointed the direction of your fate.

In other words, a hopeless death following an all-out struggle.

Five days from now, the Soul Society will be annihilated by the Vandenreich!

I know you want to ask "Who are you people?"

Yet, you also know that we would never answer that question.

You should be able to guess who we are. Farewell.

Stop right there!!!

(They got away. No traces of their Spiritual Pressure inside the Seireitei. So they can travel though the Soul Shield Membrane undetected.)

G... Genryusai... Th... There is something...I must tell you!

Th... They... Our Bankai, they can make it...
