The DiamondDust Rebellion, 3-4

He was able to defeat all of them?

I can't believe Captain Hitsugaya would attack his own men.

That's not all. Captain Kyoraku was also injured.

Why is this happening?

According to Renji, everyone who tried to stop Hitsugaya was badly injured by his Hyorinmaru.

Wait a minute. Can't you track his Spiritual Pressure? You're good at that stuff.

Not now.

Damn it! We're not gettin' anywhere.

............

Let's go home and get some sleep. We can all meet up later this afternoon.

Ichigo's right. We'll have a better chance of finding him after we've all had a little rest.

We have evidence that Captain Hitsugaya is guilty of treason. I am upgrading the priority of his capture to an execution order.

I beg your pardon, sir, but do you really think this situation calls for such extreme measures?

It has been decided!

The search for the Ouin shall proceed uninterrupted.

However, Captain Hitsugaya's case will now be our top priority. By any means necessary, execute him!

*Be-be-beep*

Ichigo! It's Renji! They've ordered an execution!

What are you talking about?

Basically, it means that they have orders to execute Captain Hitsugaya on sight!

What? You've gotta be kidding me! Why would they do something like that?

There wasn't time for anyone to argue the decision, and the order cannot be revoked.

That's crazy!

Rukia, there's something else! We found out who Kusaka is!

His name's Sojiro Kusaka. He was one of Captain Hitsugaya's classmates.

According to the records, he died shortly before the Captain graduated from the Soul Reaper Academy.
