An Unknown Fate—Pick a Ruthless One to Make a Move!

Fourth Division barracks.

General Relief Station.

Unlike the atmosphere in other divisions, the Fourth Division always presented itself as busy.

Division members carrying medical kits hurried back and forth, all wearing tense expressions.

Some pushed various surgical instruments, some carried all kinds of medicine, while others recorded complex information on forms.

The Fourth Division bore not only the responsibilities of the Gotei 13, but also the healing duties of the entire Seireitei and even the Soul Society.

Members of the Kido Corps and certain nobles also came to the Fourth Division for treatment whenever they felt unwell.

As a result, even though the Fourth Division had nearly the largest number of members in the Gotei 13, they were still overwhelmed with work.

Yanagawa Ki and Satoya skillfully made their way through the crowd and headed straight for the emergency room of the General Relief Station.

Though their actions drew quiet curses from the others, neither of them paid any heed.

The fierce image of their captain from earlier still lingered in their minds.

If they failed to complete even such a simple task, neither of them dared imagine the consequences.

"Hm? Kaname Tosen, former Fifth Seat of the Ninth Division..."

A black-clad figure stopped them outside the emergency room and promptly used Kaido to stabilize Kaname Tosen's fading life.

"Lieutenant Seinosuke."

Yanagawa Ki recognized the newcomer and urgently pleaded, "Please treat Kaname Tosen. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid..."

After a brief examination, Seinosuke Yamada furrowed his brow and said with undisguised disgust, "Another self-important idiot!"

"With injuries like these, did he go challenge Kenpachi Zaraki of the Eleventh Division?"

As someone whose mastery of Kaido in the Soul Society was second only to Retsu Unohana's, Seinosuke Yamada had an exceptionally foul temperament.

He showed equal disrespect to everyone except Retsu Unohana.

Even other captains were no exception before him.

"Bring him into the emergency room."

Seinosuke Yamada said unhappily, "Perfect timing. I've recently developed a new type of Kaido specifically for stitching up physical wounds."

Yanagawa Ki and Satoya did not dare delay. They hurried into the emergency room.

What greeted their eyes were intricate medical instruments and unknown spiritual tools engraved with all manner of Kido Incantations.

Everything before them surpassed their understanding.

They stood frozen in place, unable to recover their senses for a moment.

"What are you waiting for, you idiots?"

Seinosuke Yamada entered the emergency room, took out a pair of sterilized gloves from the counter beside him, and put them on with practiced ease.

"Put him on the third operating table on the left. Throw his severed arm into the black liquid beside it."

"Then you can get lost."

Yanagawa Ki eyed the operating table before him suspiciously, somewhat hesitant.

Various complex Kido Incantations overlapped across the simple wooden board, forming one bizarre pattern after another.

Its construction was completely different from that of other operating tables.

"Captain Unohana has gone out to gather herbs."

Seinosuke Yamada stood expressionlessly behind them and said in an icy tone, "If you waste a few more minutes, this idiot will definitely die."

Hearing that, neither of them dared hesitate any longer. They immediately placed Kaname Tosen on the operating table.

The moment his body touched the wooden board, dim Kido light flared up. The overlapping Kido Incantations seemed like a writhing swamp, quickly swallowing Kaname Tosen whole.

Seeing this, the two exchanged glances and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Seinosuke Yamada's reputation was widely known among Seated Officers and division members alike.

Though his Kaido skills were astounding, second only to the captain of the Fourth Division,

he was ruthless when it came to medical treatment, willing to use anything available to cure his patients.

Just like now.

Given the current situation, what Kaname Tosen would turn into after the treatment was over was something even Seinosuke Yamada likely could not guarantee.

But the die had been cast, and saying anything more was meaningless.

Under Seinosuke Yamada's dissatisfied gaze, the two left the emergency room and handed the stage over to him.

Watching the doors shut at once, Yanagawa Ki said gloomily,

"Let's hope he doesn't grow anything he shouldn't..."

At those words, Satoya seemed to recall some unpleasant memories and instinctively shuddered.

Ninth Division barracks.

Kaname Tosen's appearance had undoubtedly helped Su Feng solve a problem.

The Ninth Division members were unconvinced by their newly appointed captain. Even suppressing them with spiritual pressure could only force them into superficial obedience.

But after one battle, this group had been thoroughly convinced.

Their gazes toward Su Feng were filled with awe.

The mess across the central courtyard had yet to be fully cleaned up. The remaining bloodstains and freshly turned earth were deeply imprinted in every division member's mind.

Their captain's ferocity and strength were in no way inferior to those of captains from other divisions.

After witnessing that battle, quite a few had already placed Su Feng on the same level as Kenpachi Zaraki in their hearts.

"Everyone, do you have any objections to the orders I gave earlier?"

Once everyone had gathered in the central courtyard again, Su Feng swept his gaze across them and asked calmly.

Only a deathly silence answered him.

Even Rangiku Matsumoto and Nanao Ise, standing behind Su Feng, were unusually quiet.

After knowing him for so long, this was the first time Rangiku had seen Su Feng so fierce. For a moment, she found it difficult to adjust.

As for Nanao Ise, she recalled the events of a previous intelligence mission. As her thoughts churned, her awe for Su Feng deepened by a few degrees.

"Since no one is speaking, I'll take that as agreement."

Su Feng waved a hand. "Those division members from Rukongai, stay behind. Everyone else may leave and return to your previous duties."

As soon as he finished speaking,

a large number of division members bowed respectfully, then hurriedly left the central courtyard.

Though they did not understand the meaning behind Su Feng's order, simply being able to leave filled them with relief.

There were not many division members left behind, only ten.

In Rukongai, the strong preyed on the weak and competition was intense. Those with talent for Spiritual Power were few and far between, and those who managed to stand out and become Soul Reapers were rarer still.

Their temperament was also much stronger than that of other Soul Reapers.

Su Feng looked at the ten before him, nodded, and said,

"I don't like wasting words."

"Get yourselves ready, prepare the Spirit-Restraining Devices, and come with me to Rukongai for a mission."

Hearing this, the uneasy division members instinctively let out a breath of relief.

So it was just a mission...

"Our destination is Inutsuke, South 78th District of Rukongai."

Su Feng continued, "Some time ago, intelligence provided by the Eighth Division mentioned this."

"The Lower Aristocrat Arisugawa Clan has monopolized drinking water resources, triggering small-scale unrest and causing considerable casualties."

"The mission is to arrest every member of the Arisugawa Clan involved and send them to the Prison..."
