He can! And making some plans for Lisa!

"...whoa, so she's a submissive who likes the idea of being hypnotized? You're pulling my leg," Ichigo accused Rukai quietly as they reached Urahara's shop.

"Nope! You would be surprised how varied fetishes can get," Rukia replied quietly. Lisa looked back towards them.

"What are you both talking about?" Lisa asked.

"Oh, nothing, just personal stuff!" Rukia replied cheerfully. Lisa stared a moment, now very curious. She was the type to listen in on Captain's meetings back in the day she was a Soul Reaper after all. But instead of pressing the issue, she decided to wait on an opportunity to listen in on them later. She knocked on the door.

"Well, hello there!" Urahara laughed as he opened the door up. "Guys need more assistance with some things? You really should come by and buy some goods more often, you guys really need more equipment than what you're working with, based on what Hiyori came here for earlier~!"

"Actually, yes, we do need some assistance," Ichigo told Urahara. "See, we need to make a trip into Hueco Mundo."

Urahara blinked. "Well, I CAN open up a Garganta up to there, but it's a bit premature to launch an attack on Aizen, don't you think? I know we rushed a bit when it came to sending you guys to Soul Society to stage a rescue, but we're not on as strict of a timetable as before. We have basically until winter, most likely, until Aizen is ready to wage his war. MAYBE sooner, if he figures out ways to speed up the Hogyoku's development, but that's a big maybe, and even then, still some time left."

"Actually, this is about preparing for Aizen," Ichigo said. "We won't be attacking his base. We're just going to exploit some of the abilities of our Hollows." He then explained their idea.

"...hmm, eating other Hollows, huh? Bit of an **** step, but then, if Ms. Inoue can undo the souls being contained in your own later, then having a boost in power for a few months shouldn't be too unethical. It would certainly help against Aizen," Urahara mused. "Alright, give me a few minutes, I'll get the Garganta opened up. And I'll let Yoruichi know, she might want to tag along to make sure this little excursion goes smoothly."

"Good," Rukia grinned. With Yoruichi already involved, she might have some ideas on how to mess with Lisa with some hypnotic suggestions.

...

Five minutes later, Kisuke had the Garganta opened, and was warning them to stay away from Las Noches, the stronghold Aizen had built. "Of course, Hueco Mundo is a big place, so staying under the radar shouldn't be too difficult. Actually, while you're at it, maybe bring an Arrancar back for study. There might be a few failed projects of Aizen still roaming about, and figuring out any of their workings might help give us an advantage over his forces," Urahara replied. "Don't go out of your way with it though. If it's feasible, it's feasible. If not, don't sweat it."

"We'll keep that in mind," Ichigo nodded, before they headed in, Yoruichi taking point.

"Heh, field trip!" the assassin whooped. "I've been dying to get some exercise and practice in!" Indeed, even without a Hollow of her own, a bit of training against some Hollows would also do her some good.
