Chapter 261

The incantation for Bankai was only half-read when Aizen suddenly stopped.

Because he suddenly discovered that he had forgotten the incantation for Bankai.

"3rd Seat Senju, is this also your ability?"

"Is your ability to deprive Bankai?"

Aizen panicked again.

He didn't expect that the Senju Hoshiya in front of him could seal his Bankai.

Itachi must know that this is something that can only be done by suppressing him in spiritual pressure.

In the entire Soul Society, and even counting those monsters in the Royal Palace, there are not many people who can do it.

Seeing Aizen's panicked expression, Senju Hoshiya smiled.

"Seize the Bankai?"

"Not at all."

"This is a form of genjutsu; I suppose Itachi could call it an enhanced version of Tsukuyomi..."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye patiently explained the genjutsu he had just used.

Itachi Uchiha once used this very technique to transfer Shisui's eye into a crow.

And during his battle with Naruto, he used genjutsu to seal it within Naruto's body.

The trigger for this genjutsu was seeing Sasuke's eyes once again.

Because according to Itachi Uchiha's plan, he was destined to die in his battle against his younger brother Sasuke, and his eyes would naturally be transplanted to Sasuke.

Given Naruto's personality, he would certainly never give up on Sasuke, and when he eventually found Sasuke again...

As long as he saw those Mangekyo Sharingan, this genjutsu would take effect.

It must be said that Itachi Uchiha was truly a genius of genjutsu.

And now, this very method was being used by Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye to deal with Aizen.

Seeing the blank, dazed expression on Aizen's face, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye gave a cold smile:

"Surprised? Unexpected, isn't it?"

"The moment Itachi decided to unleash your Bankai, Itachi had already fallen into my trap."

"Because the trigger for my Tsukuyomi is your Bankai!"

"In other words, the moment Itachi perform Bankai, Itachi trigger my genjutsu, causing Itachi to forget your own Bankai."

Upon hearing Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye's explanation, Aizen finally realized the terror of the man before him.

"Itachi mean to say, Itachi calculated long ago that I would perform Bankai?"

"Is all of this within your schemes?"

Aizen could hardly believe his own eyes.

How could such a terrifying existence possibly exist in this world?

If it were Kisuke Urahara with his brilliant mind coming up with such an ingenious plan, it might be understandable.

Never did he expect that the young Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye could also play him like a fiddle.

Aizen suddenly began to doubt his own capabilities.

Watching Aizen's existential crisis, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye had no intention of letting him off the hook.

After arching his brows slightly, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye smiled faintly: "Captain Aizen, do Itachi remember what I just said?"

"Itachi believe Itachi control everything in the Soul Society, and Itachi believe Itachi control Ichigo Kurosaki's actions."

"But while Itachi were plotting against others, how could Itachi know they weren't plotting against Itachi?"

"Itachi could say that everything Itachi have done up to this point has been under my careful arrangement."

"Including Kisuke Urahara creating the Hogyoku a hundred years ago, the Visoreds of that time, and even your later idea to cultivate Ichigo Kurosaki—all of it was because Itachi fell under my genjutsu."

"Itachi must know, Itachi grew to your current level under the influence of my genjutsu."

"Can Itachi understand what I'm saying?"

Hearing this rhetoric from Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, Aizen went completely insane:

"No!"

"This is impossible!"

"How could this possibly be true?"

"If all of this is genjutsu, then what is the meaning of everything I have done?"

Aizen's roar echoed throughout Las Noches.

He truly believed Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye's words from the bottom of his heart.

Yet, everything Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye had just said was complete nonsense.

One must remember that a hundred years ago, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye hadn't even been born, so he had no way to interfere with Aizen's schemes.

He said this only to break Aizen's mental defenses.

Facts proved that Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye had truly succeeded.

If memory serves, the only time Aizen's mental defenses were broken was after Ichigo Kurosaki mastered the Final Getsuga Tensho and evolved into an existence higher than his own.

Unexpectedly, Aizen's defenses were broken multiple times by Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye's verbal assault.

This was truly fascinating.

Watching Aizen's hysterical expression, Barragan couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile:

"Aizen, never thought Itachi'd have a day like this, did Itachi?"

"Genjutsu is nothing but a child's trick; being despicable is one thing, but it does absolutely nothing to improve your own power."

"Itachi, Aizen, are nothing but an insignificant ant; by what right do Itachi dare to look down on me, a true god?"

"Hahahaha, satisfying!"

"I, Barragan, am extremely satisfied!"

Aizen was already on the verge of a mental breakdown; hearing this mockery from Barragan, he finally snapped.

"Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye!"

"Even if Itachi can break my hypnosis, so what?"

"A Shinigami's battle is ultimately a battle of Reiatsu; with the Hogyoku's augmentation, my Reiatsu is invincible!"

"What do Itachi have to compete with me?"

"Although Itachi can break my Complete Hypnosis, do Itachi have the ability to surpass me in power?"

Facing Aizen's provocation, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye waved his hand dismissively: "I don't believe I ever said I wanted to suppress Itachi with Reiatsu, did I?"

"In fact, I don't need to defeat Itachi at all."

"Because Itachi will soon willingly become a slave to me, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, from the bottom of your heart."

"It's truly unimaginable."

"The dignified Captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13."

"Who later became the ruler of Hueco Mundo."

"Such a formidable person, actually becoming my slave."

"I wonder what that will feel like..."

Hearing Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye say he wanted him to be his slave, Aizen laughed.

"Ridiculous!"

"Utterly ridiculous!"

"Itachi should know that even without the Complete Hypnosis of my Zanpakuto, defeating me is no easy task."

"As I just said, my Reiatsu is the strongest in the Soul Society."

"If I wish, I can turn Itachi into dust with a wave of my hand."

As he spoke, Aizen pointed his finger at Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye's position, his voice low:

"Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny! Grow numb and flicker! Disrupt! Sleep again!"

"Crawling iron princess! Tortured doll of mud! Combine and..."

"Hado #90!"
