With the Captains suffering casualties and heavy injuries on their side, all hope seemed to be lost... until Shinji Hirako appeared, along with the rest of the former Shinigami. Though the aid of the Vizards certainly helped to draw the battle in their favor, it seemed Aizen's power alone proved too much for them.

Minoru didn’t even seem to notice the boy’s statement, instead he just continued walking. He had already made his mind up that he wasn’t going to fight, but if the boy kept pushing him he would have to. He had already thought up an excuse to not fight the boy, and he doubted that the Masked Army would care if he let one go. He stopped, before sitting down by a tree. “I don’t want to fight you.” Minoru stated calmly. “There are two reasons for this: Firstly, I am on leave at the moment; so I don’t have to do anything involved with orders that I would receive whilst in service. And secondly, I don’t see a hollow mask on you right now, so how do I know that you’re not just a shinigami with strange fluctuations in your spiritual pressure?”
He got up again, moving slowly toward a lit up area, where the sun had managed to peek through the trees. “I know you’re the same as me. So I don’t see the reason in a battle between us.”
Power and corruption two words that go hand in hand with each other, that was something any vizard should be aware of, and since it was like this Shinji had once said that he would make sure every Vizard was to be kept under control, uncorrupted, but he had soon learned that there was a mistake in this plan, apparently ancient Vizards with corrupted hearts had appeared after a long hiding, and he knew they would at some point seek out Kurosaki ichigo, as always Shinji kept his eyes on his unwilling Nakama.
To day was the day, he had seen Ichigo with a strange man, and there was no mistaking it it was a Vizard and one of the masked army corrupted hollows, like this Shinji would put a plan into motion a plan to make Ichigo part of his team of Vizards, before he join or was killed by the masked army.
As the two came walking around some tree Shinji had been sitting on a bench in his high school cloths, he was not going to appear as the leader of the Vizards, then he would only be attack by who ever the guy with Ichigo was. He hid his reiatsu that was futher hidden by the special gigai given to him by Urahara years and years ago, no one could sense his hollow reiatsu or that he wasn't just a normal human.
“Oi Ichigo! Hiya” he said getting up and ran towards him with a huge smile, before stopping right in front of the two. “Oi Ichigo aint that a nice coincidence huh?” of cause Ichigo had to know this was no ordinary coincidence, Shinji had been stalking him for sure. Suddenly Shinji looked surprised as he turned to the man walking with Ichigo
“Oh, and whose this ya carrin around, some hot chicks borther?”
The man made up excuses for not fighting, but as ichigo was informed there was already a little war going on between the two factions and this could hardly be a coincidence. He decided to take the initiative as he could do nothing else. Just before he wanted to go in on the boys words with making his mask appear he saw shinji sitting on a bench
Shinji stood up and came on to them saying hi and making a stupid comment like he always did when he tried to distract the situation from the actual one. Actually ichigo knew that he was being followed by his own vaizards. Not only in class ichigo was kept on guard but also out of class. Ichigo launched a hit at Shinji’s face.
’’stop stalking me hikaro’’
He used shinji’s other name as he had already slipped the name shinji in his conversation with the guy of the masked army.

Minoru got up as he noticed a second person approach, he couldn’t feel his spiritual pressure so he just guessed that he was a friend of the Substitute shinigami. He turned around and began to walk towards Ichigo, he was going to walk straight past him and head back. It was just as he got about five foot away from the Ichigo, when he noticed something which surprised him a lot. Ichigo had mentioned a ‘Shinji’ and this ‘Hirako’ was the spitting image of him. It made Minoru wonder whether he had come to stop Ichigo from being recruited into the Masked Army, or to avoid a fight.
“C-Captain Hirako?” Minoru stuttered; it had been such a long time sice he had seen his former captain, but he was positive it was him. His hair had gotten shorter, but his facial structure and his teeth were a dead give away. “They said you died. Well that’s what Captain Aizen told me anyway.” Minoru had a smirk on his face, he didn’t know of the man remembered him or not, but it seemed what Ichigo had said about a ‘Shinji’ was true. Well, well. His inner hollow muttered. What a touching reunion. Would you behave the same way with Aizen?
Shinjis smiling face had been replaced by a fist deeply in his head, as the fist was redrawn Shinji wiped his bleeding nose and felt the bruise in his face, he leaned back and looked at Ichigo with a pair of angry eyes, these eyes were a pair of eye that no one could take seriously.
“How tha hell ya dare punch me in ma face ya bastard” then he stopped as he was referred to as captain, Ichigo didn't know Shinji used to be a captain, and Shinji didn't really want him to know, he quickly turned to him.
“Ya kno' me huh? So Ichigo told ya about me huh? Im flattered, but I dunno ya whats ya name? But excuse me a minute” he turned to Ichigo again with furrowed brows “Quit hittin me in the face infront of ya friends I dun wanna appear as some wierdo ya kno' so quit it or ill slice ya to bits”
Ichigo rolled with his eyes and frowned even more after shinji was called captain. So that was the actual story. He used to be a death god and went to the same thing as he did or something. Ichigo knew only tiny bits of the past, and thinking of them at this moment wouldn’t help that much
He grabbed the hilt of his sword and the bandage unfolded. ’’I will say no more then I have to. To fill you in Shinji, this is one of the masked army. We are at war with these people and they try to kill us. If we don’t kill them now he will get reinforcements as he now knows you are here.’’

Minoru sighed, he had done his best to get out of a fight but it seemed it hadn’t worked. Was this guy not really who Minoru thought he was, was he just a friend of this boy’s from school. Minoru brushed them thoughts off almost instantaneously, it was Shinji, even the boy had called him ‘Hirako’ that couldn’t have been a coincidence.
He observed as the boy grabbed the hilt of his zanpakuto and the bandages that were covering it came loose and fell off. Minoru didn’t even seem to move as the boy did this, he just stood there calmly a serious expression gracing his face. “I’ve already explained this to you. I don’t want to fight. There is no point in any unnecessary bloodshed.”
He turned and began to walk the opposite way as before, turning his back on the two. He lifted his hand up in a motion of farewell, as he continued forward. His right hand wasn’t in his pocket in case the boy attacked, so that he could get to his zanpakuto quickly if need be.
Shinji watched Ichigo make himself ready for Bankai, Shinji rolled his eyes and looked at the man leaving, then suddenly he stood in front of Ichigo with a Zanpaktou pointed at him, glaring into his eyes and whispered.
“What gotten into you, you've never ever in for life taken a person life, and you've never before talked about killing, is your hollow taking over, if so your far more dangerous and then I'd had to do stuff I might not like. That man is a human Ichigo, you talking about killing a human, whats gotten into you?!”
the he yelled over his shoulder in the voice of a captain, the voice he had used when talking to his members. “Yo, Whats ya name and what was ya seat, and are you part of the masked army, if so Why?!”
At once white liquid started to move over ichigo’s head and his mask seemed to appear without him calling for it. An inner voice laughed and said what it always did if it started to take over some control ’’I’m going to be really close to you and at the end I will knock the king from the horse.’’
Ichigo screamed and it only half sounded like him. The other half of the voice sounded like a hollows scream. His hands let his sword drop and he grabbed his mask. He pulled it of with all strength and threw it away as the last laugh of his inner hollow still repeated in his head, and the word closer started to fade slowly.
’’I’m sorry, that wasn’t supposed to happen. Shinji, do you know this person. And what is that captain talk all of a sudden?’’

Minoru stopped walking as he felt a sudden surge in spiritual pressure behind him, the boy obviously hadn’t yet learnt how to control his inner hollow and it would become very dangerous if he continued without suppressing it. That was obviously the reason to why Shinji had been following the boy, if he could help this boy control his inner demon then he would become a valuable asset to him.
He turned around at the question of Shinji’s, before chuckling. He sat down by a tree adjacent to him, examining the area once again; he loved nature so peaceful and quiet, two things that he wasn’t used to but cherished dearly. “Names, Minoru Sasaki. Former Fifth seat of the Fifth Division.”
He let out a sigh, looking up at the clouds above him; he always wished that he was a cloud, just floating along day by day, not being involved in any pointless battles or fights. He wouldn’t be judged for what he was and he would be admired. “The reason I’m part of the masked army… Is because they saved my life on the verge of death. After dear ol’ captain Aizen left me for dead.”
