Seireitei.
Many captains of Gotei 13 gathered here, surrounding a high platform.
The sounds came and went, a bit noisy.
Surrounded by everyone, in addition to Yamamoto Shigekuni, Captain-General, there is also today's protagonist.
Kiryū Kirishiki.
On the ground beside her were piles of large and small packages, and there was a package on her back.
Sarugaki Hiyori grabbed her sleeves with tears in her eyes, looking reluctant to leave.
Shinjī Hirako came over and turned Byakugan to Hiyori's appearance.
"Hiyori, if you keep crying, sooner or later Miss Kirio Hikifune's clothes will be soaked through her tears. When the time comes, Master Zero Division will see her, but she will be embarrassed!"
"Shut up, Shinji you bald man, I'm not crying."
"Ah? I have hair, not bald!" Shinjī Hirako lifted up her hair and retorted, "Then who has been surrounding Miss Kirio Hikifune now and ruined her clothes?"
"Bald man, believe it or not, I will kill you!"
Seeing that the two were having a heated argument, Kiryū Kirishiki, who was caught in the middle, quickly spoke out to dissuade them.
"Okay, okay, please stop arguing."
"I was just promoted to the Soul King Palace. I'm not dead. We can meet again in the future."
She stretched out her arms and separated the two people in front of her.
Although she liked the lively atmosphere in front of her, she was about to leave Seireitei and go to the Soul King Palace, so she still wanted to say goodbye to her colleagues at Gotei 13.
As expected, it was best for everyone to be happy at this farewell party.
She looked at Yamamoto and others aside, but saw that one person was missing.
"Captain-General, Captain Kyōraku, Captain Ukitake are not here."
Mentioning his sickly disciple, Yamamoto Shigekuni sighed, helplessness flashing across his face.
Kyoraku scratched his cheek, which felt a little hot Red-Haired.
"Jūshirō wanted to come over, but his condition has worsened in the past few days and he can't get out of bed, so he can't come over."
"Sorry, Captain Hikifune."
Unohana Retsu on the side blinked slightly, with confusion on his face. "I remember the medicine I prescribed for Captain Ukitake. As long as he takes it on time, he will be fine."
Facing the senior's doubts, Kyoraku felt a little bitter in his heart.
As long as you take your medicine on time, you'll be fine.
But Ukitake Thirteenth Lang was afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, so he secretly poured it out without telling his men.
In addition, some time ago, Ukitake accompanied them on a trip to Onmitsukidō, and they caught wind on the way, which made the condition worse.
It seems now that it won't get better within a year or so.
Unohana obviously also knew about Ukitake's problem of secretly pouring medicine. He wanted to ask anything else, but was interrupted by Kiryū Kirishiki.
"Since Captain Ukitake's condition has worsened, there is nothing we can do."
"Lie, after this farewell is over, go and see Captain Ukitake. I also left some supplements. Remember to ask the team members to send them over."
"After eating the pastries I made, Captain Ukitake I think you will feel better faster."
After chatting with Unohana Retsu for a while, Kiryū Kirishiki turned to look to one side.
Shihōin Yoruichi folded his arms in front of his chest and was chatting with Kuchiki Ginrei next to him.
Realizing the sight, Yoruichi and Kuchiki Ginrei stepped over.
Kiryū Kirishiki chatted for a while and suddenly asked, "Where are little Yoruichi and Little Kenma? He hasn't come over?"
"Him?" Yoruichi curled his lips, "I mentioned this to him, but he has been busy with work and didn't give me an accurate reply. I don't think he will come."
"Well, that's a pity."
Kiryū Kirishiki looked regretful.
Before she went to the Soul King Palace, she wanted to meet Kenma.
Just when she was sighing, a slightly dull voice came from a distance.
"Who says I won't come?"
Hearing this voice, Yoruichi frowned deeply and looked sideways in the direction of the voice.
Not only her, but Kiryū Kirishiki and Kuchiki Ginrei beside her, as well as all Shinigami captains including Captain-General, all looked at it.
What caught everyone's eyes were the figures of five people approaching.
The five people were divided into two groups, and the two at the front were wearing white Haori.
The leader of the three-person team is none other than Shikashuin Kenma.
Behind him were two Onmitsukidō members wearing Fox Mask, showing capable behavior.
As for the two people on the other side, one was tall and thin, wearing glasses and Haori swaying as he walked.
Great Kidō Master, Tenjiro Kirinji of Kido Corps.
Behind him is a broad, fat man with a peaceful face.
The body is so huge that even Tenjiro Kirinji in front of him looks much smaller.
Vice Captain of Kido Corps, Hachigen Ushōda.
Seeing the heads of the two major forces, Onmitsukidō and Kido Corps, coming together at this moment, the Shinigami captains had expressions of surprise on their faces.
"The captain of Gotei 13 is obviously promoted, why are these two unrelated people here?"
"I haven't seen these two Kido tall figures in a long time."
"I didn't expect you two to show up today."
"Kido Corps aside, if Onmitsukidō and Gotei 13 don't deal with it, why did they come here?!"
A little noise broke out in the crowd.
Yamamoto Shigekuni raised his hand and immediately stopped the captains' discussion.
Those fluorescent eyes were introverted, scanning over the Kenma people one by one, nodding lightly and saying hello.
"I never thought that today, when Captain Hikifune was promoted, you two would be able to come here."
"This is really an honor for me Gotei 13."
Tenjiro Kirinji looked serious and pushed up his glasses. "Your Excellency Captain-General Yamamoto is joking. Captain Hikifune's promotion is also a happy event for Seireitei. I naturally want to congratulate you."
Kenma on the other side echoed, "Although they belong to different agencies, they are all colleagues who protect Soul Society. How can they be so indifferent."
"Even apart from official business, Captain Hikifune is also my friend. Now I'm going to the Soul King Palace. I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet again in the future, but I can't miss today."
When several people came over, Kiryū Kirishiki first expressed his solemn thanks to Tenjiro Kirinji.
Frankly speaking, although she is the team leader, she still stays inside the team doing research, doesn't go out much, and is not very familiar with the people at Kido Corps.
Now that the two Kido leaders were able to show up, it was really beyond her expectation.
When faced with Kenma, Kiryū Kirishiki was a little more casual.
"Little Kenma, I was so disappointed when I didn't see you coming just now."
"I didn't expect that as soon as I finished speaking, you were already here."
Kenma looked a little softer and said, "Sorry, Captain Hikifune and Onmitsukidō are busy with work. After I have arranged my work for today, I will set off immediately."
"I happened to meet two Kido captains on the way, so I decided to come along with them. Fortunately, I still had enough time, and I finally made it in time before Captain Hikifune went to the Soul King Palace."
After the voice fell, he looked towards the high platform in front of him, with doubts on his face.
"Soul King Palace people, haven't they come yet?"
Kiryū Kirishiki looked up at the sky and then said, "At this time, they should be here soon."
Seeing the curious expression on Kenma's face, she asked, "Why, Little Kenma is curious about the Soul King Palace's Zero Division?"
"It's a lie to say that I'm not curious."
Kenma nodded.
"After all, they are important people who protect Soul King Palace. Each one of them has changed the existence of Soul Society."
"Coming to say goodbye to Captain Hikifune this time is an opportunity. It is always good to be able to see him in person."
Hearing what Kenma said, Kiryū Kirishiki laughed and said, "I am familiar with the people who came to pick me up this time, so I would like to introduce them to you."
After saying that, she felt her sleeve being pulled.
When she lowered her head, she saw that it was her Lieutenant Sarugaki Hiyori.
After Kenma came over, she became uncharacteristically quiet and hid behind Kiryū Kirishiki, looking honest.
Hikifune knew that Hiyori was a little afraid of Kenma's seriousness, so he just chatted with Kenma and excused himself to go aside.
Kenma then looked at the Shinigami here. Basically, all the captains of Gotei 13 were here. What he saw was a white Haori.
But those Lieutenant were nowhere to be seen.
There is only one Lieutenant in the entire venue, Sarugaki Hiyori, who is regarded as his daughter by Kiryū Kirishiki.
It seems that those Lieutenant identities are not enough.
Kenma At this moment, Aizen suddenly came to mind.
Aizen stood in the sky with his whole heart in mind, but this time when someone came from the sky, Aizen couldn't even see him.
Kenma couldn't help but feel pity for him.
Just when he was deep in thought, Yoruichi came to him.
Poking Kenma's ribs with his elbow, Yoruichi lowered his voice and asked, "You're serious, didn't you say you didn't plan to come this time?"
Kenma came back to his senses and looked at Yoruichi.
On Yoruichi's pretty face, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Looking into his wife's transparent eyes, Kenma said, "Hey, Yoruichi, when you asked me before, I never said I couldn't come!"
He just didn't give a specific and accurate reply.
In his speculation, when Kiryū Kirishiki was led to the Soul King Palace, at least one member of Zero Division arrived.
He still doesn't know whether Zero Division knows his secret plan.
Originally, according to his original thoughts, he didn't plan to come.
If Zero Division knew about his secret actions and chose to come with all his troops, maybe this farewell party would turn into a hunt for him.
But Kenma thought about it again and decided to come over.
If it's the worst case scenario, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not.
No matter where you hide, you will definitely be attacked by Zero Division and Gotei 13.
Kenma can leave, but the subordinates he left behind at Seireitei cannot leave.
In the hands of monk Zero Division and Yamamoto, even if those subordinates were immortal, they would not be able to do anything and would only end up being wiped out.
On the contrary, it would be better for him to come to the scene in person so that he can respond immediately and not be too passive.
Of course, Kenma will not come in vain without preparation.
He had already made preparations.
A large number of combat forces under the command of Nobunaga and Sengoku have been assembled in Shadow Space, and they can launch a counterattack at any time.
Although he is still poorly prepared, he can at least have the strength to fight!
As a result, even if the monk is not the opponent of Yamamoto, Kenma still has the ultimate trump card!
At worst, we will die together, let's go to Hell hand in hand!
Thinking of this, Kenma decided in his heart.
Then I heard the angry voice of Yoruichi.
"Hey, come here to see Captain Hikifune? When did your relationship with her become so good? Why didn't I know!"
Hearing this, Kenma was stunned.
I saw the expression on Yoruichi's face becoming increasingly dissatisfied, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Kenma raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something.
He leaned forward slightly and came close to Yoruichi's ear.
He opened his mouth slightly and lowered his voice.
"Yoruichi, are you jealous?"
"Ah, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Yoruichi eyes widened and stared at her husband fiercely.
If she hadn't been worried about so many people on the scene, she might have cursed loudly.
"It has nothing to do with me how prude you are, I don't care at all."
"Yoruichi, it's not good to be arrogant. I remember you don't have this attribute either."
Yoruichi's reaction made Kenma feel relieved.
He gently held Yoruichi's waist, letting her delicate body press against his.
Feel the softness, Kenma's voice is gentle.
"Captain Hikifune gave us some food before, and most of it ended up in your stomach."
"Today is my promotion day, so I have to come over and congratulate you no matter what."
Yoruichi clenched his fists and punched Kenma in the stomach several times.
"In front of so many captains, please be careful."
"Where's your usual poise? Stop making people laugh!"
"If you have any good jokes, Tōichirō has them all." Kenma chuckled, but kept his hand on Yoruichi's waist, "Wait a while for Zero Division's people to come down, and you stay by my side."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Yoruichi glanced sideways, with a suspicious look on his face.
"Have you done something bad again?"
"Yoruichi, can't you think of me better?"
Kenma sighed, "As far as I know, although Zero Division has made great contributions, he is not necessarily a good person. Shikokuin Family now has a big family and a big business, so it is always right to be cautious."
He gently patted Yoruichi's waist before letting go.
Yoruichi did not move, still leaning on Kenma.
Shaking his head, a hint of helplessness appeared on his pretty face.
"You are really too careful. It's almost like you are suffering from persecution paranoia."
Kenma ignored her and said in a deep voice to the two people behind him, "You two, remember to protect Yoruichi."
"As you command!"
The two responded in a low voice.
Yoruichi turned his head to look at these two people, as if he had thought of something.
She pointed to one of them.
Although this person was wearing a mask to hide his appearance, the red and black windmill pattern that lit up in his eyes, the curly hair on that end, and the figure he had seen before.
She recognized him immediately.
"Are you Shisui?"
"Yes, Lady Yoruichi."
Seeing the other party nodding in recognition, Yoruichi's eyes showed a trace of doubt.
"Most people here know you. What's the difference between you covering your face and not covering your face?"
Kenma explained, "I asked Shisui to do this, and it is also Onmitsukidō's rule."
Yoruichi nodded and looked at the other person.
I saw that man with straight white hair, his arms folded in front of his chest, and a faint and crisp Killing Intent.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"
"This subordinate is a newcomer who just joined Onmitsukidō."
The man spoke, his voice full of steely quality.
Kenma complained, "Onmitsukidō There are so many people, and you don't work here, how can you possibly know them all."
"Oh, that's right too."
While chatting with Yoruichi, Kenma suddenly noticed several eyes coming towards him.
When I looked around, the first thing I saw was Kuchiki Ginrei on the side.
The old man had a complicated look on his face, with admiration and a hint of regret at the same time.
Looking at Kenma and Yoruichi, it was as if they were seeing other people through them.
Seeing Kenma, Kuchiki Ginrei smiled politely and nodded lightly.
Kenma nodded in response and looked at another line of sight.
But he saw Kyōraku Shunsui pushing up his bamboo hat with a frivolous brow.
He touched his unshaven chin with a crooked smile on his face.
This kind of smile is very familiar to Kenma.
Just like when he was watching a love show in his previous life, he would make his aunt laugh when he writhes like a maggot on the bed.
There is another person, Kenma, but I didn't expect it.
It's actually Yamamoto Shigekuni.
Yamamoto looked over. Although his expression was calm, there was a sense of stability in his eyes.
Although Kenma didn't understand why Old Man Yamamoto behaved like this, he still acted politely.
Realizing that everyone was watching, Yoruichi hurriedly left Kenma.
"Ahem--"
She pretended to be calm and coughed a few times, her expression as usual.
At this moment, Kenma seemed to notice something and suddenly raised his head.
All Shinigami captains also raised their heads and looked at Sky Manipulation.
The clouds above suddenly opened a big hole.
A white cylinder fell from the sky and landed in front of the high platform.
"Boom!"
The cylinder hit the ground, sending up billowing dust.
There is a gate above, facing everyone, with the logo Zero Division engraved on the surface.
The door opened automatically with a bang, revealing the figure inside.
Seeing this scene, Kenma remained calm, but his heart suddenly became serious.
Zero Division, has arrived!
