You Just Have to Make Me Die
In the First Division, Captain-Commander Yamamoto stared out the window, his gaze unfocused, lost in thought.
Yesterday, everything was still under his control.
Dōsan Hanyū entered the World of the Living, and a few captains, driven by their sense of justice, also went to the World of the Living.
Everything went as he had predicted.
As planned, Yamamoto convened a Captain-level meeting today, and the important person invited to attend was Jin'ya Tsunayashiro's father, the current head of the Tsunayashiro Clan.
However, even the most meticulous plans can have flaws; two problems caused the event to take a completely different turn.
There were too few captains present; only four captains attended: Unohana, Aizen, Komamura, Tōsen.
Aside from the captains who went to the World of the Living, Kuchiki Ginrei of the Sixth Division has suffered a worsening of her condition and is now bedridden.
Throughout the entire meeting, the clan Tsunayashiro, remained silent Yamamoto, however, understood that the Tsunayashiro Clan had already come to regard the Thirteenth Division as a potential enemy.
This contradicts Yamamoto's plan to use Dōsan Hanyū to draw fire.
Secondly, Dōsan Hanyū Yamamoto have foreseen that Tenzō Tenjō.
But not now, and certainly not for less than a day.
The time constraints brought Yamamoto a sense of urgency, and he was also shocked by the strength of Dōsan Hanyū.
He was unsure of the strength of the Tenzō Tenjō in this era.
But he was aware of the capabilities of his subordinates.
In Yamamoto's plan, the fate of Dōsan Hanyū was to be a sinner, to atone for the extinction of the Tsunayashiro Clan with his life.
Afterwards, the Five Great Noble Clans fell apart, Soul Society was truly managed by the Thirteenth Divisions, who combined political and military power.
However, the strength and talent that Dōsan Hanyū has shown make him need to give this matter more consideration.
Is it worthwhile to use Dōsan Hanyū to defeat Tsunayashiro Clan?
And will Dōsan Hanyū truly "accept his fate" as he planned?
If this were to incite a genuine rebellion by Dōsan Hanyū, could the Thirteenth Division afford such a price fifteen years later?
The final verdict for Dōsan Hanyū has been handed down.
He accidentally killed Tsunayashiro Jin'ya Tsunayashiro the battle, and during his confinement, he secretly entered the World of the Living.
For multiple offenses, he was stripped of his position as vice-captain of the Second Division of Dōsan Hanyū and sentenced to three months of solitary confinement in the Central 46 the Jail.
A huge uproar ensued.
The Central 46 only announced the charges against Dōsan Hanyū, but why didn't they mention his contributions at all?
That was a fair fight for Jin'ya Tsunayashiro.
What did Dōsan Hanyū do wrong in the Tenzō Tenjō incident? Was he supposed to keep waiting for the captains of the Thirteenth Division to be delivered one by one?
Public opinion turned against the Tsunayashiro Clan, but many Soul Reaper secretly harbored resentment towards Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
Regarding the punishment of Dōsan Hanyū, the Tsunayashiro Clan also held a family meeting.
"Dōsan Hanyū is imprisoned in Central 46. Now may be our best opportunity."
"Don't be ridiculous. You want Captain-level battle to break out in the Soul Reaper's territory?"
Most Soul Reaper (death gods) confined to solitary confinement have their Spiritual Pressure restrained, but can this level of restraint even affect Kidō God?
That Yamamoto was just going through the motions.
"Then what do you suggest we do? The Three Realms are only so big. Are we supposed to trick him into Rukongai?"
Several clan elders started arguing.
A few of them genuinely wanted to avenge Tenzō Tenjō, but most felt that the Tsunayashiro Clan had been humiliated by Dōsan Hanyū.
But whatever the reason, they had lived for hundreds of years and were simply unwilling to risk their lives again.
"Ichimonji, what do you mean?"
As the head of a branch family, Ichimonji already held a high position. Furthermore, during this period, Ichimonji Tsunayashiro became the captain of the Shin'ō Artificial Soul Noble Guard, helping the Tsunayashiro Clan to surpass the Kuchiki Clan, further elevating Ichimonji's status.
When asked by the clan elder, Ichimonji stammered a little.
That kid is really weird!
Recalling that day, when Dōsan Hanyū fought against Tenzō Tenjō, although a barrier concealed a large area of Spiritual Pressure, Ichimonji could still sense the battle scene within the barrier, which resembled a natural disaster.
The main reason is that the arm of the Tenzō Tenjō he found in the World of the Living has already merged into Inorei Hikaru's body.
There's still a surplus.
Just like that Dōsan Hanyū
When he was a vice-captain, Ichimonji didn't feel anything special. But after he really wanted to rule Soul Society, he realized that everyone there was extraordinary, except for Aizen.
Forcing himself to speak, Ichimonji reluctantly replied, "There's no point in making an enemy of Dōsan Hanyū. Besides, I've already persuaded Kūkaku Shiba to join our side. If our plans are disrupted because of Dōsan Hanyū, it would be even worse."
Ichimonji is so confusing!
Several elders of the Tsunayashiro Clan secretly passed through the passage.
As expected, having become Soul Reaper, Ichimonji's way of thinking now even carries the commoner air of Rukongai.
The Shiba Clan is nothing but a nobody; how can they compare to the dignity of my Tsunayashiro Clan?
"Ichimonji, if I asked you to kill Dōsan Hanyū, are you confident you could do it?"
Ha?
Do you really want me to die?
The solitary confinement cells of the Central 46 are far more advanced than those of the other divisions.
Previously, this place was used to imprison high-ranking nobles who had committed offenses, and not just any high-ranking nobles, but those who were usually entitled to such treatment.
This is the first time Soul Reaper has been imprisoned here.
A month of imprisonment was mostly boring, except for Soi Fon occasionally visiting him.
After his battle with Tenzō Tenjō, and the intellectual exchange with Soi Fon, a master of Hakuda -hat fighting), Dōsan Hanyū devised a new approach.
"You mean a combination of Kidō and Hakuda?" Soi Fon asked in surprise, finding it a novel idea.
"Yes." Dōsan nodded. "The techniques of Tenzō Tenjō are primarily based on Hakuda, supplemented by Kidō. Although our bodies cannot reach that level, we can improve upon them."
Soi Fon nodded. Tenzō Tenjō's White Dragon form was indeed terrifying. Her own Bankai reached a bottleneck; perhaps trying a new approach would be worthwhile?
Three months passed quickly.
The Thirteenth Division has long since returned to its usual tranquility.
This day marked the release of Dōsan Hanyū from prison.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant Hanyū."
Facing the Sasakibe, Dōsan Hanyū smiled faintly.
"This visit was at the behest of Captain-Commander Yamamoto; he hopes you can join the fourth year of the Shin'ō Academy of Spiritual Arts."
Dōsan Hanyū had no reason to refuse.
Dōsan was unaware that this year's fourth-year students of the Shin'ō Academy of Spiritual Arts had a benefactor.
Jin'ya Tsunayashiro Clan, the eldest daughter of the Tsunayashiro Clan family, and the first in line to inherit the Kyōko Tsunayashiro. No, she should now be called Anki Tsunayashiro.
