Just as Shunsui Kyōraku had said, the Punishment Corps' intelligence primarily targeted the Seireitei's internal affairs.
It was not as though they had no external intelligence channels, but compared to the professional Eighth Division, they fell far short.
After all, Shunsui Kyōraku was close with Jūshirō Ukitake, and the members under their command were also very familiar with one another.
