A/N: Updates will be sporadic, since the story is more a set of oneshots than a story with a plotline. That being said, I will try to update as much as possible. Here is the first Chapter, I felt it would be right to start with Yamamoto since he is one of the oldest and most powerful Shinigami.
Chapter One- Yamamoto Genryusai
Aizen POV
Yamamoto Genryusai- leader of the Gotei Thirteen and one of my greatest enemies. He is certainly the most powerful enemy that I face, one of the most manipulative and one of the most cold hearted. Ironic for me to say such a thing, ne? Yamamoto is supposed to be a wise and compassionate leader, not to mention he wields a fire Zanpakuto. With all that added up shouldn't he be the most fiery, the most compassionate, the most determined to kill me?
No, he's not.
Ironically enough, the title of the one who hates me most goes to Hitsugaya Toshiro, wielder of the most powerful ice Zanpakuto.
But that is beside the point, I am not talking about the boy right now, I'm talking about Yamamoto, a man who by all definitions is just as evil as I am.
Even though he is my strongest enemy, he is the one who I think the least of. He hides behind his men, letting them fall and die for him before scolding them for losing and forcing him into battle. He is the strongest, yet he sacrifices his subordinated with little or no care. I am aware that I do virtually the same thing, but I at least no longer try to put on a white hat and act like a saint. My subordinates know exactly what they're getting into when they work for me, and they know the risks. I offer them power, and they take it.
Yamamoto hides it, but he's doing basically the same thing at the Academy. He scoops up spiritually talented students at a young age, telling them he can bring them honour, power and rank. I know I do the same, but at least I don't have the need to force children to fight my battles for me.
Honestly, that man has more innocent blood on my hands than I do. And that says something since the stuff is practically dripping off of my hands.
I probably wouldn't be that bothered by it if it were anyone else, but Yamamoto is supposed to be better than I am, he's the great and fearless leader for the Shinigami after all. In fact, Yamamoto's cruelty was one of the first things that made me consider wiping the Shinigami off of the planet and remaking the world. I was aware it would be a bloody path, but when I was done there would be no one like Yamamoto around anymore.
Or, at least, that's what I told myself.
Now I know it will be much bloodier, and that there will probably be no more world left when I am finished. But it is too late to stop now, I have made myself a promise to rid the world of all tyrants like Yamamoto, and if that means I must be just like him then so be it.
At least I am being honest to myself about what I am.
