Captain Commander's Decision

1st Division Barracks.

After Captain Commander Yamamoto listened to Kyoraku Shunsui's report,

his expression darkened.

He rested both hands atop his cane.

After pondering for a moment, he finally raised his eyes slightly.

"The matter in Akita Prefecture must be treated with the utmost importance by your 8th Division. This battle showed us Lin Feng's strength, but it also cost us many outstanding students! We must get to the bottom of this!"

Kyoraku Shunsui sighed.

He removed the straw hat from his head.

His expression became somewhat grave as well.

"Don't worry, old man. I'll personally investigate the reason behind the Menos in Akita Prefecture. But if those Vasto Lorde Menos from Hueco Mundo really are behind this, how do you plan to deal with them?"

A Hollow's instinct was to devour souls.

However,

for Menos,

the souls in the Living World possessed Spiritual Power that was far too weak.

They simply had little interest in them.

Hueco Mundo was paradise for Menos.

There,

they could continuously devour and undergo further evolution.

And this time,

six Menos had appeared in Akita Prefecture at once.

They had even chosen the exact time of the Shinigami Academy entrance trial.

Someone was definitely pulling the strings behind this.

However,

neither Captain Commander Yamamoto nor Kyoraku Shunsui

suspected the Gotei 13 itself.

In their view,

it was most likely the Vasto Lorde Menos of Hueco Mundo provoking the Soul Society.

Tap!

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni struck his cane against the ground and said solemnly, "Ever since the last time the Hollows of Hueco Mundo launched a large-scale attack on the Soul Society, the two realms have remained peaceful for a long time. If Hueco Mundo is truly plotting something in secret this time, we must not allow those Hollows to continue running amok!"
