Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō

Masatsuki Aozaki and Yoruichi Shihōin stared at the headless corpse of Sazanosuke Takasugi, their expressions unreadable.

He had implicated the entire Tsunayashiro Clan—and in public, no less.

If word got out that one of the Four Great Noble Clans was involved in the rebellion, it could shake the very foundations of Seireitei's rule.

If you had no ties to the Four Great Nobles, the worst you'd face would be the crime of slandering the nobility.

But the problem is, you really are from the Tsunayashiro Clan, and now you're a rebel.

If they take you back for trial, the very people judging you will fear for their own lives.

If you don't die, who will?

"Masatsuki, did you hear anything just now?"

Wiping the blood from her face, Retsu Unohana turned to Masatsuki and asked.

"I didn't hear a thing!" Masatsuki Aozaki responded instantly, shaking his head firmly.

Retsu Unohana nodded in satisfaction, thinking to herself that the boy she had her eye on was as sharp as ever.
