Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: The ChaosEpisode 504 “Early Morning Reflections”: (continued) The walk to the Sixth Division was quiet, the streets of the Seireitei were almost deserted at this early hour. Her mind kept replaying the old man's words, the way he had spoken of the Masanobus as if they were something to be both feared and pitied.
Eight centuries ago... That's when they were formed. Back when the Gotei 13 was still finding its footing. How many have they killed since then? How many lives have been lost in the shadows?
Her stomach churned at the thought. She wasn't naive; she knew the Soul Society had its dark corners, but this was something else. This was a darkness that threatened to consume everything if it ever came to light.
She reached the Sixth Division’s barracks, her heart pounding in her chest. Fuu hesitated, her hand hovering over the door. Am I doing the right thing? But what other choice did she have?
Yorusuke could bring this to Byakuya, and maybe, just maybe, this information could be buried deep within the noble’s dark secrets once more. But the fear gnawed at her. What if this knowledge put him in danger? What if the Masanobus learned that she had uncovered their secret?
No, I can’t think like that. I have to trust that Yorusuke will know what to do.
She knocked, the sound echoing in the stillness of the morning. It was time to face whatever consequences her discovery would bring.

When Yorusuke opened the door, his expression turned from surprise to concern as he saw the look on her face. "Fuu? What’s going on? You look like you’ve seen a ghost." She managed a shaky smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes. "I might have found something... something big. And I need your help."As she explained everything to him, from the old man's revelations to the fragments she had pieced together in the Daireishokairo, Fuu watched as Yorusuke’s expression grew more serious. He didn’t interrupt, letting her get it all out, and when she finally finished, the room was filled with a heavy silence. "So, you're telling me that the Koriyama clan has been using this group of assassins for centuries to do their dirty work," Yorusuke said, his voice low, and thoughtful. Fuu nodded, her throat dry. "I don’t know what to do with this information, Yorusuke. I’m not going to publish it—I can’t. But I couldn’t just sit on it, either. This has to be brought to one of the noble’s attention. So they can do something about it."Yorusuke leaned back, his brow furrowed in thought. "You’re right to be concerned, Fuu. This isn’t something that can just be ignored. But we have to be careful—if what you’ve found is true, then the Masanobus won’t take kindly to anyone digging into their history." "I know," she whispered, the fear that had been gnawing at her finally bubbling to the surface. "But I trust you, Yorusuke. I don’t know any nobles of high status who could deal with this, but you... you can bring it to Byakuya’s attention, right? He’d know what to do."Yorusuke was silent for a moment before he nodded. "I’ll take this to him. But we need to be discreet. If word gets out that we’re investigating this... well, we could be in more danger than we realize." Fuu felt a weight lift from her shoulders, but it was quickly replaced by a new kind of fear. She had done the right thing by coming to Yorusuke, but now, the uncertainty of what would happen next gnawed at her. The Masanobus were dangerous, and if they learned that she had uncovered their secret..."I’ll handle it," Yorusuke said, sensing her unease. "You’ve done your part, Fuu. Now, let me do mine." Moved
