After hearing such flattering words, everyone looked over and immediately reacted.
"In this case, my salary will be gone."
"Me too!"
Bang!
Seeing that the scene was somewhat chaotic, Grand Judge knocked down the gavel and shouted to suppress the discussion in the hall.
Kenma took a step forward and looked around.
"You sages Isshin are truly role models for our generation in your devotion to public service."
"Although Seireitei is difficult at the moment, it has not reached this point yet. Although the establishment of Onmitsukidō is difficult, it does not require you to sacrifice your family and life like this."
"On behalf of Onmitsukidō, I understand the wishes of all the sages. However, if this is the case, please take it back."
Kenma As soon as these words came out, there was quite a noisy sound on the field.
"Yeah, that's right, Lord Kenma is right."
"Sorry, we were too impatient."
"Of course we Isshin are loyal to the public, but Lord Kenma's words are not unreasonable, so let's do that."
Tenjiro Kirinji on the side looked at the sages above acting like this, then glanced at the expressionless Kenma on the side, and sighed in his heart.
But the mood didn't feel strange at all.
Great Kidō Master, who has been in Seireitei for so long, now sees Central 46 acting arrogant and respectful. He has seen similar situations more than once.
Even though there is a new group of people, it is just the same as before.
After another discussion, the fund allocation was initially planned. After it was finalized, Grand Judge said, "What about the allocation of personnel, especially those Shino Academy graduates."
As the size of Gotei 13 is halved, it will definitely not be able to recruit as many graduates every year.
We need to ask Kido Corps and Onmitsukidō to help absorb some of it.
"We might as well allocate quotas to each school based on the students' wishes and abilities."
"That's good. Those who are good at Kido or don't like fighting can be assigned to Kido Corps. Those who are eager to make contributions can be assigned to Gotei 13."
"What if some graduates are unwilling?"
"Everything is done to protect the safety of Seireitei. How can I care about my personal opinions.
"Where is Onmitsukidō?"
"Onmitsukidō is a force that operates in secret. Is it a little bit to recruit students openly and openly like this--"
Seeing another commotion in the hall, Grand Judge asked everyone to calm down and looked down.
"Sir Commander of the Stealth Force, Shikashuin Kenma, what suggestions do you have?"
After Kenma groaned for a moment, he slowly said, "After all, Onmitsukidō's job is different from ordinary ones. Naturally, we cannot recruit students from the Shino Academy normally."
"However, if you meet some students who are in line with Onmitsukidō's philosophy, you can also recruit them, but they cannot be made public and you need to contact them secretly."
"I hope you can understand this."
As Kenma spoke, he turned to look at Yamamoto Shigekuni and Tenjiro Kirinji on one side.
"It involves Onmitsukidō, I can understand it."
"Me too."
The two nodded slowly and agreed to this.
As for the future staffing of Onmitsukidō, Kenma naturally has already made a choice.
But I can't tell these people, I can only use the vassal families of the Shikokuin Family to fool them through vague words.
Next, everyone discussed some of the next issues of the three major institutions, as well as the future development plan of Seireitei.
As everyone was talking, half a day passed slowly without realizing it.
As the door of the conference hall gently closed, the first meeting of the new Central 46 came to a successful end.
All sages return to Pure Tower Grove and rest under layers of protection.
Kenma, Tenjiro Kirinji, and Yamamoto Shigekuni, all three wearing almost identical Haori, walked out of the passage of the underground central conference hall and returned to the ground.
At this time in Sky Manipulation, although the sun is westward, there is no twilight at all.
The daylight was still bright, and Kenma, who had been in the dark conference hall for a long time, couldn't help but exhale, and his mood suddenly became much brighter.
At the fork in the road ahead, Tenjiro Kirinji bowed slightly.
"Your Excellency Genryūsai, Lord Yanmo, I have to repair the broken barriers and buildings next, so I'll take my leave first."
After a simple apology, Tenjiro Kirinji turned to the side of the road.
On the entire road, except for the guards on duty on both sides, only Kenma and Yamamoto Shigekuni were left.
Kenma withdrew his gaze and looked sideways at the Captain-General next to him.
"Your Excellency Genryūsai, when we were encircling and suppressing Kuchiki Kyoka, my wife was unable to attend due to family matters and her father was seriously ill. I hope you will forgive me."
"I already know about this matter. Chūbē has already given Second Division Captain's request for approval to me."
Yamamoto Shigekuni was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his face showed no emotion or anger.
Kenma made a grateful tone. "Thank you, Mr. Genryūsai, for your understanding."
Yamamoto Shigekuni nodded slowly and asked, "Chunyan is also a colleague who worked with me. I wonder how his condition is?"
"Alas~" Kenma sighed, shook his head and said, "My father is ill and can only lie on the hospital bed every day, hanging on with the medicine prepared by Captain Unohana--"
"I hope Chunyan can recover soon."
Yamamoto Shigekuni sighed and turned to look at Kenma, whose fluorescent eyes suddenly burst into astonishing brightness and became extremely sharp.
"Speaking of which, Commander-in-Chief Kenma got his wish today, right?"
"Huh? I wonder why Captain-General said this?" Kenma looked confused.
Yamamoto Shigekuni shook his head, an old voice sounded.
"You don't have to pretend like this in front of me. I'm much older than you. Why can't I see your little tricks?"
"Genryūsai Your Excellency, are you referring to those things about fighting for power and profit?"
Kenma raised his eyebrows, but was not frightened by Yamamoto Shigekuni's words.
"As long as there are people, there will be struggles, and Shikokuin Family took advantage of the situation to seize the majority of Central 46 seats. This is just something that has happened many times in Seireitei in the past."
"It's just that the protagonist before was Tsunayashiro Clan, and now it's Shikokuin Family. There is no difference between the two."
Yamamoto Shigekuni looked unmoved, and his pace was still so steady.
Approaching another fork in the road, the pace stopped.
Kenma noticed the old man's movements and stopped, listening to the old man's warning without looking back.
"Shikashuin Kenma, of course I know what you said, so I didn't care about your actions in the past few days."
"Whether it's a struggle for power or political persecution, I just want to tell you something."
"Don't go too far and break Soul Society's peace, otherwise I will become your enemy.
"Little devil!"
After saying that, Yamamoto Shigekuni turned and left.
Kenma turned around and saw only a mountain-like back.
The white feather fabric with the word [] written on the back fluttered with the old man's steady steps.
"--What a terrible old man.
