The Quincy

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto remained silent for a long time. Gradually, everyone present realized that something was wrong. Could it be that the Quincy had truly been hiding their strength during the battle a thousand years ago?

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, if the Almighty truly exist, is there a possibility that our current communication might be leaked?"

Regardless of the disparity in strength, or the humiliation it might cause, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's primary concern was the threat posed by Yhwach. If Tsuna's theory held true, then Yhwach would be the greatest danger in the history of Soul Society.

"Before the meeting started, I had the store manager isolate the First Division's meeting room so that no information could leak into the Shadow."

"As for information about the members of the Seireitei, it's likely that most of it has already been leaked," Tsuna sighed. "Besides, I don't have the Almighty or omnipotence; I don't know the limits of that ability."

"But we can't just avoid facing our opponents because they're powerful, can we? Yhwach's goal is to unify the Three Worlds and return everything to chaos."

"It can be said that every living being in the Three Worlds, whether human, Bleach, or Hollow, is his enemy. All I can do is improve my strength as much as possible and use absolute power to fight against that so-called the Almighty."

After sighing, Tsuna leaned back in his chair. Yhwach's strength was still formidable. After Yhwach entered this world, the original plot was unpredictable, and Ichigo might not be able to recreate the glory of that final strike. All Tsuna could do was improve his own and his teammates' strength.

"More than two years... I'm willing to try to believe in you, Sawada Tsunayoshi," Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto said. Two years was a gamble he could easily afford with his thousand-year lifespan.

However, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto changed his tone the next moment and said, "But I have a condition..."

"Stop!" Tsuna shouted immediately. "This concerns the very survival of your Soul Society. There's no point in me negotiating with you."

"It's not a difficult matter. I just want you to have a nominal position in the Gotei 13. There are no work requirements, your salary will be paid as usual, and your status will be the same as mine. You just need to guide the soldiers' strength whenever you have time."

Everyone in the arena, except for the captain, stared wide-eyed at Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. They couldn't understand why Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto would offer such a condition, while the other captains looked completely unfazed. Having witnessed yesterday's battle, this condition was not unexpected for them.

"This..."

Tsuna stroked his chin, considering it. It seemed like he had no reason to refuse. Getting paid without doing any work—where else could he find such a good deal?

As for when he has free time, isn't it up to him to decide when he's free?

"Alright then..."

Tsuna reluctantly agreed, but he didn't see the smug smile hidden beneath Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's thick beard.

"Vice-Captain Sasakibe, effective today, Sawada Tsunayoshi appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Gotei 13. Disseminate this information after the meeting..."

In Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's view, as long as Tsuna agrees, that's all that matters. He had been worried about how to get Tsuna onto the Gotei 13 bandwagon, and now he could take advantage of Tsuna's feelings for the Gotei 13 to give Tsuna a title.

Although Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto didn't know why this kid, who was only ten years old, had personal feelings for the Gotei 13, he just wanted him to be useful.

As long as Tsuna agrees, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto doesn't really care whether the Quincy situation is true or not. Even if Tsuna is just talking nonsense, in his opinion, exchanging two years of Seireitei in Seireitei for a strong person with strength comparable to his to join the Gotei 13 is completely worthwhile!

In this way, once Tsuna's Soul Society a hundred years later, he would naturally and completely join the Gotei 13 family.

"Then, Sawada Tsunayoshi, let's continue. Suppose Yhwach leads the Quincy back with a vengeance, how should we defend ourselves?"

Tsuna was unaware that he had been tricked by that old man Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. He gestured to Urahara to switch to another picture, which showed a metallic disc badge and a figure with outstretched wings.

"Among the Quincy, apart from Yhwach, the others are equally formidable. They are called the Sternritter, and each of them possesses unique Saint Letters abilities, which you can easily correspond to the Zanpakuto of Bleach."

"Based on this, they further enhance their form, which they call the Vollständig, which can also be simply equated to the Bankai of the Bleach."

"You can think of the wing that Uryū used before as Quasi-Vollständig, while the Vollständig in the hands of the Wandenreich is more complete and its power is much greater."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Kurotsuchi Mayuri, Kurotsuchi Mayuri face darkened. The fact that he had been crippled by Uryū, this half-baked idiot, was practically common knowledge throughout Seireitei.

Tsuna used Uryū as an example, which allowed everyone to intuitively understand that the power of the Vollständig is at least at the Captain-level.

Now, both the captain and the other attendees understood why they had participated in this meeting. According to the power equation, those without the strength of a captain or higher were indeed not qualified to participate.

Yumichika stared at Tsuna with a strange look in his eyes. Why was he qualified to attend the meeting? Did this human really have the ability to foresee the future?

Yumichika couldn't understand why even his closest Ikkaku didn't know his secret.

"There should be 25 or more members who possess Saint Letters and Vollständig."

Tsuna didn't know how many real combatants the Sternritter had; he deduced it from the English numbers. He only remembered a few Quincy were representative of the Blood War.

"25?" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's sharp gaze swept across the entire room before he said, "The combined power of Soul Society and the World of the Living is just enough..."

Using the most simplistic logic, thirteen captains alone are far from sufficient. Fortunately, there are these outstanding team members, as well as the help of people from the World of the Living.

Thinking of this, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto looked at Ichigo and Uryū. It's good that they have a grudge; it proves that they are on the same side when it comes to dealing with Yhwach.

"If only it were that easy." Tsuna pointed to the Quincy Medallion next to him, pouring cold water on his enthusiasm. "See that badge? That thing can absorb the power of Bankai."

Tsuna's words were like a depth charge, instantly detonating the entire venue. The once quiet room erupted in noise, with questions and discussions rising and falling together.

"So now you know why I said you guys are a bit stronger than cannon fodder, right? If you lose your Bankai, the only ones who can still maintain sufficient fighting power are the Squad 2, 3rd Division, 5th Division, 9th Division, and Squad 12, right?"

"Tsuna, what do you mean?" Hirako keenly sensed the problem. Apart from Soi Fon's Flash Cry and Kurotsuchi Mayuri's technology, all of them, the original Visored, were actually in the combat ranks.

"Can the power of a Hollow resist the theft of Bankai?" Kyōraku immediately added.

The entire arena fell silent. According to tradition, Bleach and Hollows are mortal enemies. Under this psychological suggestion, the Visored would not actively use Hollow powers upon returning to Seireitei, showing a subtle sense of resistance.

But for the Quincy, it's completely the opposite. Hollowfication has become highly sought after. Does this mean they all have to go through Hollowfication? According to the information from the Hollowfication Incident back then, Hirako and the others almost turned into monsters. It was a process with a slim chance of survival.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was also silently calculating in his heart that whether it was to Beyond Bankai or to prevent Bankai from being stolen, Hollow's power seemed to be a crucial link.

At that moment, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto had a sudden flash of inspiration and remembered the term Tsuna had mentioned once, "Sawada Tsunayoshi, did you guys prepare this all along? That thing called Shadow-Infusion Medicine?"

Tsuna grinned and Urahara, indicating that he would be in charge of explaining.

"The Shadow-Infusion Medicine was made at Tsuna's suggestion, because everything Hollow is highly poisonous to Quincy, so I tried to create a tool to mix a small amount of Hollow spiritual pressure into the Bleach pressure."

"Because Hollow power is extremely rare, after Bleach uses it, they neither lose their sanity due to Hollowfication, nor do they lose some Hollow characteristics, thus resisting the Quincy Medallion's plundering."

"Since we haven't found Quincy from the Wandenreich, and without any existing Quincy Medallion to test on, this Shadow-Infusion Medicine can only be considered a semi-finished product. I also can't be sure if this approach can counter Bankai Plunder."

"Can a half-finished product be brought up in public?" At this point, only Kurotsuchi Mayuri of Urahara.

Urahara chuckled and didn't Kurotsuchi Mayuri. He had known Kurotsuchi Mayuri's temperament well ever since he released him from the Maggots' Nest.

Moreover, Urahara's Shadow-Infusion Medicine is already very close to being a finished product; it only lacks the final test by the Quincy Medallion.

"So, with the help of Urahara's Shadow-Infusion Medicine, we are able to use Bankai. In general, our strength is comparable to that of the Wandenreich?" Ukitake hand.

"War is not a simple exchange of tokens. The Quincy's Saint Letters is closer to a conceptual level of ability. Even with intelligence, and with all due respect, given the current strength of each captain, completing the exchange would not be an easy task."

Tsuna's words immediately provoked dissatisfaction from the vast majority of people present; no one liked to hear such words that diminished their prestige.

Tsuna had anticipated this situation, and he continued to gesture to Urahara. Under Urahara's guidance, a series of abstract paintings appeared in the center of the table.

"This contains the information I remember. Let the shop manager explain it next."

Back when Tsuna Urahara Kisuke in the World of the Living, he had already dumped all the information he still had about the Sternritter members on Urahara Kisuke.

Since he read about the Thousand-Year Blood War in the manga back then, Tsuna's memories are fragmented, but he still knows information about some of the key figures among the Quincy.

For example, there's the one-eyed birdman Lille Barro, Gerard Valkyrie who was killed by his own boss, James who earned Kensei the title of the Muguruma, and the zombie girl Minami, etc.

In any case, all the intelligence was handed over to Urahara, Urahara was tasked with organizing the data, while Tsuna used this data to supplement the abstract paintings.

Under Urahara Kisuke's explanation, the attendees gradually showed solemn expressions. They gradually realized that Tsuna's words were not unfounded. Even with this information about the Quincy, the battle ahead would still be difficult!
