First Division conference room, everyone is here today.
The captains of Thirteen Court Guard Squads are standing on the left, and the Vice-Captain of Court Security Guard Squad are standing on the right.
Captain-General Yamamoto stands in front of the main seat.
He didn't tap his cane on the ground to signal the start of the meeting. He just stood there, scanning both sides with his eyes to make sure everyone was present.
He shouted directly.
"Come in."
Crunch! The door to the conference room opens.
A small white figure walked in.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya.
He was wearing white Captain's Haori, which was very long, with the hem hanging on the ground, and a big nine characters embroidered on the back.
Haori had been altered to not fit properly, but he didn't seem to care. He walked to the center and stood in the center with his head held high and his chest held high.
His little face was very calm, without any tension, and his ice-blue eyes looked straight ahead, looking at Captain-General Yamamoto. The conference room was quiet for a moment, and then someone started talking quietly.
Kyōraku Shunsui stood looking at Tōshirō, sizing it up and talking in a low voice.
"You're really quite impressive." His eyes slowly narrowed.
No matter how you look at them, they are still children.
No matter how talented you are, you are still a child.
Soul Society actually asked him to be the captain. He really didn't know what to say. He sighed in his heart.
This movement was noticed by my friend Ukitake Jūshirō.
Jūshirō Ukitake stood next to him and spoke softly.
"Ninth Division's captain cannot let anyone else do it."
Although Ninth Division is not an inheritance system like Second Division and Sixth Division.
But when Yan Si sacrificed his life for Soul Society, he would definitely not select a captain and let someone else be the captain.
Fifth Division Captain Hirako Shinji also said with a smile. "Bankai's ability to change the sky a few days ago."
"He has proven that he is qualified to be captain."
Captain-General Yamamoto did not stop their discussion. Instead, he deliberately indulged it.
Let them talk, let them discuss, and then continue until the discussion gradually subsides.
"Original Ninth Division Third Seat Tōshirō Hitsugaya."
"It has been confirmed by more than three captains that it has sufficient strength and character."
"From now on, I will assume the position of Captain of the Ninth Division."
He looked at the captains and squadrons standing in formation on both sides and said.
"Is there any objection from the captain?"
He waited in silence for a moment.
No one spoke, no one raised a hand.
He nodded. "Return to your position, Captain Hitsugaya."
Tōshirō bowed slightly.
"Yes."
He turned around and walked straight to Captain of the Seventh Division Sajin Komamura and stood next to him.
He is not qualified to stand in the first place on the left side of Captain-General Yamamoto now.
That location used to be occupied by Yan Si station, but it is now vacant.
Thirteen Court Guard Squads and Second Division are vacant.
Captain-General Yamamoto turned his attention to the door.
The door opened again.
A man walked in, wearing Second Division Captain Haori.
Hachi Saaya.
She walked to the center and stood still, and said in a deep voice, "I am Second Division Captain Soi Fon."
The voice was cold and hard.
Second Division is different from other squads and is similar to Sixth Division, both of which can be inherited.
Because Second Division Captain is also in charge of Stealth Force, and this is the private land of the Shihōin Clan.
But if you want to become a captain, you still have a principled issue, that is, you must learn Bankai. This point must never be compromised.
Captain-General Yamamoto said in a deep voice.
"I, along with Captain Kyōraku and Captain Unohana, witnessed the Bankai of captain Soi Fon at Muken and confirmed that he has the ability to become the captain."
"Is there any objection from the captain?"
Court Security Guard Squad Vice-Captain Hiyori asked with some confusion.
"Is this a name change?"
Soi Fon turned his head to look at her and responded coldly.
"From now on, my name will be Soi Fon." Hiyori nodded and did not continue.
Of course she understands the situation of Second Division.
After the death of Yan Si, the former captain Yoruichi Shihōin lost his temper and then disappeared.
This person was originally Yoruichi's personal guard.
As long as you know Bankai and have Shihoin Clan's approval, you should be the captain of Second Division.
Soi Fon looked tense.
In fact, she already knows Bankai.
Just to stay with Yoruichi and continue to be a guard, I never showed it.
As Yan Si commented, her talent is very good.
But what Yan Si doesn't know is that in order to keep up with Yoruichi's pace, she has never slacked off, she just hid it.
Captain-General Yamamoto opening.
"Captain Soi Fon, please return to the team." Soi Fon bowed slightly, turned around, and walked to Second Division's position to stand.
Captain-General Yamamoto swept across the audience again, crossing everyone's face.
Unexpectedly, it will only take a hundred years.
Thirteenth Division's captain has changed many people.
Some teams even went through multiple substitutions.
This turbulent situation must be suppressed.
He looked at Court Security Guard Squad on the right and asked.
"Urahara Kisuke Vice-Captain."
"Is there any progress in the research on Wandenreich?"
Urahara Kisuke came out of the queue.
He was wearing a white trench coat with the word "Five" printed on the back. His face was very gloomy and he responded in a low voice.
"The conclusion drawn so far is." "Wandenreich is not at Dangai. It is very possible that the other party is actually at Soul Society, but we cannot interfere."
"If you want to find them, you can't find them unless Wandenreich takes the initiative to make contact with other worlds."
"Either Soul Society, Human World and Hueco Mundo."
"As long as they have contact, you can follow the clues and find them."
The hidden meaning in his words is also obvious.
If Wandenreich has been inactive, it will be impossible to find it no matter how hard you look for it.
He has been feeling increasingly uneasy lately.
Especially after these years of research and exploration, I am really at my wits end.
So Urahara is planning to bring some Soul Society specialties to Human World to find someone to answer my questions in two days.
That man sure knows how to find Wandenreich.
Kurotsuchi Mayuri walked out of the queue, puffing out his nostrils.
"Huh!" He looked at Urahara, "What a waste." Urahara was not angry. He turned around and looked at Kurotsuchi Mayuri and said very sincerely.
"Kurotsuchi Mayuri Captain."
"Research and Development Bureau Have you found a way?"
Kurotsuchi Mayuri spread his hands and shook his head.
"No."
"But I came to the conclusion earlier."
"We can only wait for Wandenreich to leave the turtle shell before we can counterattack."
Urahara said loudly with eyes wide open.
"It turns out that Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri has nothing to do."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri roared angrily.
"It was your mission to find Wandenreich!"
He pointed at Urahara and raised his voice. "Urahara!" Then he pointed at himself with his thumb.
"And my mission is to detect Hueco Mundo!"
He looked at Captain-General Yamamoto and said.
"Following up, I successfully placed a lot of Reishi devices into Hueco Mundo." The voice returned to calmness.
"The information obtained is..."
He turned his head and looked at Kenpachi Zaraki, then looked at Retsu Unohana, and stretched out a finger.
Grinning his mouth to reveal his big gold teeth.
"Breakthrough individuals like these two."
"At least three, maybe seven."
This is data based on analysis of the emitted Reishi signal.
Especially since there was a fight outside Las Noches yesterday.
Two breakthrough individuals and one Arrancar were detected, but the latter Arrancar also completed the breakthrough, so only three can be confirmed. But these years have passed.
Kurotsuchi Mayuri If you don't believe there are just a few, there must be more. I guess there will be about eight.
Based on the research of Kurotsuchi Mayuri, we combined the content of previous chats with Yan Si to differentiate.
In fact, the current Kenpachi Zaraki and Unohana Retsu.
Although he gained stronger power, he still failed to become a being beyond Shinigami. He can be called Shinigami Full Mastery.
The evolution of life levels is not that easy.
As long as the transcendence is not completed, no matter how strong it becomes, it will still be the Shinigami life form.
However, their real strength increased significantly, and they were able to fight Captain-General.
As for the outcome, no one can say for sure without having played.
The Visoreds of Court Security Guard Squad are the same as Arrancars of Hueco Mundo.
It's not even a breakthrough, it can only be said to be progress by using different powers.
Visored could not even reach the level of Full Mastery, the individual Shinigami, and Arrancar, the virtual individual Full Mastery, had not reached it. However, the three virtual ones observed later also reached the level of virtual Full Mastery like Kenpachi Zaraki.
If calculated this way.
Soul Society here Shinigami Full Mastery has Captain-General Yamamoto, Kenpachi Zaraki and Unohana Retsu.
Even Kurayashiki Kenpachi may be a little bit worse.
But there are three confirmed virtual Full Mastery over there, and eight are expected.
Not counting Aizen.
There is a huge gap in top strength between the two sides.
At the next level of peak level.
Soul Society has Court Security Guard Squad and several captains.
On the other hand, Xu has no idea at all.
Therefore, if Shinuchi rises, it's hard to say whether it can withstand it or not.
Of course, Kurotsuchi Mayuri did not include Squad Zero here. At least in his observation, there was no way to clearly know the strength level of Squad Zero.
Kyōraku Shunsui spoke slowly.
"Oh." His voice was long and drawn out, "This is really scary."
He looked at Kurotsuchi Mayuri and stretched out his hand to press the brim of his hat.
"Eight-bit Kenpachi Zaraki, that's really uncomfortable."
Kenpachi Zaraki laughed and turned to look at Captain-General Yamamoto.
"Hahaha!"
"Let me go to Hueco Mundo Expedition."
Captain-General Yamamoto refused directly and spoke in a deep voice.
"Rejected."
"Now is not the time."
He asked Kurotsuchi Mayuri. "Reishi Concentration Point How is the transfer plan going?"
Kurotsuchi Mayuri The corners of his mouth dropped, and he waved his hands in response very casually.
"This is too simple."
"The plan has been prepared, all we need is the materials and manpower to arrange it."
"It's just a Spatial Transfer technique, it's not difficult at all."
The Spatial Transfer technology itself exists in Seireitei. It just turns a small area into a large area. It is not starting from scratch. There is already a plan.
Captain-General Yamamoto nodded, scanned the audience, and said in a deep voice.
"Start now."
"Thirteenth Division, Tenth Division cooperate with Twelfth Division."
"Start arranging the Spatial Transfer device at Human World Reishi Concentration Point."
"The remaining captains should step up their efforts to improve their own strength."
"Don't slack off." "Internal affairs can be resolved slowly."
"Everything should be done first to deal with Hueco Mundo and Wandenreich."
He looked at everyone.
Final announcement.
"The meeting is dismissed!"
Boom!
The sound of the cane hitting the ground exploded in the conference room.
He blocked Kenpachi Zaraki's words that he still wanted to say Hueco Mundo Expedition.
He opened his mouth and the words were stuck in his throat.
Captain-General Yamamoto looked at him with no expression in his eyes.
Kenpachi Zaraki Shut your mouth and shrug indifferently.
Anyway, he doesn't understand technical matters at all. Seireitei disagrees, and he doesn't even have the ability to go to Hueco Mundo privately.
The meeting broke up and the captains left one after another.
Gin Ichimaru walks among the crowd.
He walked past Tōshirō and stopped, looked down at the little figure and spoke softly.
"Tōshirō Captain, we encountered something that cannot be solved."
"Notify me."
Tōshirō raised his head and looked at the squinting face, nodded and responded calmly.
"Okay, Captain Ichimaru."
He didn't feel looked down upon because everyone was the captain, nor did he have any rebellious intentions.
I clearly know that I am not good enough and there is still a lot to learn.
Although the teacher is no longer here, everyone present can become the object of learning.
Kuchiki Byakuya also came over and stood in front of Tōshirō, looking down at him and speaking calmly. "Captain Tōshirō."
"Sixth Division welcomes you as a guest at any time."
Tōshirō nodded again.
"I understand, Captain Kuchiki."
Gin Ichimaru and Kuchiki Byakuya are both his senior brothers, and all three of them are official disciples accepted by Yan Si.
Although we don't get along for a long time, we are both influenced by Yan Si's thoughts, and we get along well with each other in terms of three views.
Tōshirō looked at the back of Gin Ichimaru walking away quickly, frowned and asked.
"Rangiku Lieutenant haven't woken up yet?"
Byakuya stood beside him and responded solemnly.
"Well, I'm still in a coma."
Unohana Retsu came over and stood beside the two of them, speaking softly and gently.
"There is no way, this is a spiritual problem." "There is no way to cure my Kaidō."
"The death of Captain Yan Si was a huge blow to Rangiku Lieutenant."
"She has to come out."
Hiyori and Lisa were standing not far away.
When they heard these words, their faces were full of melancholy.
Because in Court Security Guard Squad, Kensei Muguruma and Kyunnan Shiro are also lying on the hospital bed.
Their injuries are indeed not healed yet, but they have woken up.
I just want to rest more these two days, and this is also because the death of Yan Si was a big blow to the two of them.
The captains and Court Security Guard Squad Vice-Captain walked towards their respective divisions Squad Barracks in silence.
No one spoke, only the sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Third Division Squad Barracks.
Gin Ichimaru quickly returned to the room. He pushed open the door and walked in, closing it behind him.
The room was very dark, with only a little light coming from the window.
He walked to the bed.
Looking at the person still lying on the bed.
Rangiku Matsumoto was lying there, breathing lightly with his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling slowly, his long golden hair scattered on the pillow, glowing dimly in the darkness.
Gin Ichimaru sat down beside the bed, stretched out his hand and gently lifted up his golden hair.
The hair was soft and slipped through his fingers.
He looked at the sleeping face for a long time and murmured softly.
"Rangiku..."
The sound was very soft, floating in the quiet room.
He has been thinking about it these days.
Should we hide Rangiku in Secret Base and wait for Soul Society to stabilize? Wait until Aizen and Wandenreich are defeated before waking up Rangiku.
But at the same time, I am confused.
If Rangiku is not allowed to participate, will she live in sadness when she wakes up?
Because brother Yan Si was not killed by Kenpachi Zaraki, nor was he killed by Retsu Unohana.
But he died to resist Hueco Mundo and Wandenreich.
If it really counts as revenge, this is the real object of revenge.
Gin Ichimaru certainly understands such a simple truth.
But for Kenpachi Zaraki.
Sooner or later he will stab him in the heart with all his strength.
By then, it won't matter whether the other party dies or not, but it's not the time yet.
Unexpectedly, after becoming the captain and becoming stronger, he would be faced with choices again.
He lowered his head and looked at Rangiku's face, murmuring softly. "Brother, if Sister Yoruichi is in the current situation."
"What would you choose?"
No one answered, only the sound of Rangiku breathing, very light and even.
Yin took his hand back and stood up, opened the door to the backyard, stood on the corridor and looked up at the sky.
The moon tonight is hidden by dark clouds and cannot be seen at all.
Without the moonlight, the entire Seireitei was pitch black.
The outlines of those Squad Barracks were lost in the darkness.
The street disappeared into darkness, with only the occasional light shining in the distance.
Yin stood like this in the backyard for a long time, motionless.
Only the wind was blowing, blowing his clothes and hair.
He hesitated for a long time.
He didn't enter the room again until late at night. He walked to the bookcase in the corner and looked at the books.
The bookcases are filled with books.
He reached out and took out the books from the fifth row and placed them on the ground one by one. These were all novels written by Yan Si.
After the book was taken out, a box inside was revealed.
The box has a small dark wood grain and is embedded in the dark compartment of the bookcase.
He took out the box and opened it, and inside lay a Soul Jade.
The bead glowed faintly in the darkness, and the nebula inside slowly flowed.
Yin looked at the Soul Jade for a long time.
Then he picked up the box and walked to the bedside, sitting down next to Rangiku.
He stared at her sleeping face for a long time.
That face was very quiet, without the lively smile before, or the angry pout from time to time.
Silver stretched out his hand again and placed it on Rangiku's face, feeling the coldness from his palm. After a long time, he spoke softly to her.
"No matter how dangerous it is, let's bear it together."
He took back his hand and took Soul Jade out of the box, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and bit it gently with his teeth.
Then he leaned down and approached Rangiku.
Very close, close enough to feel her breathing.
He lowered his head and brought his mouth to her lips.
Soul Jade was firmly inserted into Rangiku's mouth.
Very light and slow.
Soul Jade slipped from her lips, disappeared into her mouth, and passed through the white neck.
Silver straightened up and sat on the edge of the bed.
Stretch out your hands and hold Rangiku's little hand tightly, waiting quietly.
The room was very quiet, with only the sound of breathing and the occasional sound of wind coming from the window...
