Retsu Unohana really had been looking for Yinsen. He had only just exchanged a few words with Yoruichi when a Second Division member ran in and said someone from the Fourth Division had come looking for him.
"Hahaha, I knew it!"
Yoruichi waved at Yinsen, then stopped paying attention to him and continued giving instructions to several Seated Officers, including Kisuke Urahara.
But in Yinsen's view, she was mainly briefing Kisuke Urahara. The other two Seated Officers were more like background figures, recommended alongside him merely to go through the motions.
Unohana called me back... Could she really be planning to recommend me as the Twelfth Division captain?
With that thought in mind, Yinsen quickly returned to the Fourth Division barracks and met Retsu Unohana in the captain's office.
"I intend to recommend you for the position of Tenth Division captain."
"The Tenth Division? Not the Twelfth?"
Yinsen was somewhat surprised. It was not the Twelfth Division? But the Tenth Division... He remembered that the Tenth Division had encountered a major battle while carrying out a mission some time ago, suffering devastating losses. If he had not arrived in time with several healing squads, the Tenth Division would likely have been wiped out, with only a handful of personnel left behind at their posts.
Even with Yinsen's timely support, however, the Tenth Division had still suffered grievous losses. Its captain, lieutenant, and more than half its members had died. It was not much different from being wiped out.
"Are you interested in the position of Twelfth Division captain?"
"Not really!"
If it were the Twelfth Division captaincy, he would have to compete with Kisuke Urahara. Yinsen had benefited greatly from Kisuke Urahara over the years, so he truly would have felt embarrassed competing with him for the captain's seat.
