"Lady Yoruichi is suitable, but--"
"But she is too involved with Gotei 13. If she is elected as the commander-in-chief, wouldn't it be the same as before?"
"This Lady Yoruichi has an out-of-the-box personality and doesn't like to be restrained. Even the Second Division team affairs are delegated to the people below, asking her to re-establish the Onmitsukidō brand. She just doesn't have the patience."
"Since Lady Yoruichi is not good enough, the elder Head of the Family among the Shikokuin Family is old and bedridden, and the youngest son Yushiro is too young--"
"Shikokuin Family's son-in-law, how about Lord Shikashuin Kenma?"
"This is a suitable candidate. He is the main line of the Shikokuin Family. He has sufficient qualifications and strong ability. He has been working on Onmitsukidō for many years and has rich experience in this work."
"But what about strength? Lord Yanmo was just Third Seat before."
"I remember that when Kuchiki Kyoka massacred Central 46, Lord Shikashuin Kenma noticed it in advance and rushed to stop it. Although he was a step too late, he still fought with Kuchiki Kyoka and survived the battle."
"Kuchiki Kyoka killed five captains in a row. He is extremely powerful. As Third Seat, Lord Kenma can resist, which shows that his strength is sufficient."
"Not bad!"
Central 46 sages, some whispered, some sighed loudly, and spittle flew everywhere.
There were some sages among them, who just watched silently and coldly, allowing these colleagues who were inextricably connected with the Shikokuin Family to pretend to be having heated discussions.
As the discussion progressed, the people in the hall gradually found a consensus, and the majority of voices agreed.
Seeing this, Grand Judge knocked the gavel again and promulgated Central 46's decision.
"After our discussion, we have decided that Shikashuin Kenma will take over as Commander of the Stealth Force, and he will take office today. Do you have any objections?"
"No!"
Kenma said in a deep voice, a hint of joy appeared in his eyebrows, but he suppressed it forcefully, and continued to maintain a serious look on his face.
After so many days of hard work, so much effort, fighting for power and profit, suppressing each family, under the pretense of righteousness.
Today, all the hard work finally paid off.
From this moment on, his penetration and control of Seireitei officially began!
"Very good."
Grand Judge above nodded and said with a chuckle, "Great Kidō Master Tenjiro Kirinji, Commander of the Stealth Force Shikashuin Kenma, please step forward."
"I'm waiting for Central 46, I have something to give to you."
Kenma suddenly had doubts in his heart. The matters he had previously explained to Central 46 did not include this step.
But looking at the attitudes of these people, I guess it's not a bad thing.
With curiosity in their hearts, Kenma and Tenjiro Kirinji each took a step forward.
Two teams of guards came out of the dark corners on both sides and walked in front of Kenma and Tenjiro Kirinji.
The two leading guards held a wooden tray with a set of white clothes folded on it.
On the clothes in front of Kenma, there was a word [hidden] written on it. Then he looked at Tenjiro Kirinji, and there was a word [ghost] written on it.
"This is?"
Kenma raised his head and looked at the people above.
Tenjiro Kirinji's glasses glowed with a white light, and his face showed confusion.
Seeing the two of them looking like this, Grand Judge said, "You two, this is a gift from all of us at Central 46. It is not only our sincere wish, but also the earnest expectation of Central 46. I hope you two can live up to the expectations."
"You two, put it on and see if it fits you?"
Seeing this, Kenma and Tenjiro Kirinji took off their outermost coats and handed them to the guards on the side.
Another guard respectfully picked up the white clothing and flicked it, revealing the entirety of the clothing in front of everyone.
It is a white Haori.
The style of Haori is similar to what Captain-General Yamamoto is wearing at this time, with purple base material on the inside and text written on the back of the outer layer.
Tenjiro Kirinji's expression changed, revealing a hint of shock.
Kenma raised his eyebrows, the joy between his eyebrows became more intense, and he looked at the sages above with some surprise.
The two of them lowered their bodies slightly and asked the guards to put the Haori on their bodies.
Grand Judge smiled and asked, "How are you two? Does it still fit?"
"I have thanked all the sages and Lord Judges. Haori naturally fits perfectly."
Tenjiro Kirinji bowed, his expression full of solemnity.
"I am deeply grateful to you for your kindness. I will never disappoint your expectations and will defend the safety of Seireitei to the death."
Compared to Tenjiro Kirinji's restrained and respectful attitude, Kenma's attitude seems a bit more casual.
"Not bad."
"I am very satisfied with this gift."
Seeing Kenma say this, Grand Judge above subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking around, I saw that the colleagues around me were doing the same thing. The expressions that were quite tense just now instantly relaxed a lot.
Naturally, this kind of thing was not something Kenma had explained in advance.
Instead, a few of them secretly planned to give Kenma a surprise.
First, of course, it is to show loyalty to Kenma and Shikokuin Family.
Even if they become Central 46, they are also vassals of the Shikokuin Family. A few people want to convey this meaning.
Secondly, it is to provide the greatest prestige support for Kenma and the subsequent Onmitsukidō reconstruction of the website.
Central 46 has made such a positive statement, which means that those who secretly have other ideas about this matter will be exposed to my tactics and will obey them honestly.
Especially those Gotei 13 members whose interests have been harmed.
Don't cause trouble in this kind of thing, otherwise you will give Central 46 eye drops!
Now when these sage judges of Hel saw Kenma's reaction, they obviously liked this unexpected surprise.
They looked at each other and could not help but feel joy on their faces.
It seems that this bold move by myself and others did not arouse the displeasure of Kenma, and the hard work of flattering her was not in vain.
As for Tenjiro Kirinji, it is considered an accessory. He can only be considered lucky to have such a special situation.
After all, you can't just give Onmitsukidō but not Kido Corps.
Otherwise, it will appear that they Central 46 are too flattering.
They have just taken office and want to save face.
At the very least, in terms of surface treatment, a bowl of water must be level and not leave too many things to say.
"As long as it fits." Grand Judge nodded and continued, "The next topic is the reallocation of funds and personnel among the three institutions."
"The first is the funding aspect."
The sages below started discussing again.
"Half of the funds that have been previously cut from Gotei 13 are divided between Kido Corps and Onmitsukidō. Kido Corps needs to expand its scale, while Onmitsukidō is more difficult. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is built from scratch."
"In this case, the bulk of the funds will be given to Onmitsukidō, and a small part will be given to Kido Corps. As for the ratio, how about 28 points? Kido Corps 2, Onmitsukidō 8, it is also reasonable.
"But Onmitsukidō is a new one after all. Even these estimates are not enough. We might as well divide some from other places in Seireitei."
"Let's do this. I won't give up my salary for the next hundred years, and I will use it all as Onmitsukidō's expenses."
