The family only held recruitment drives for core members once or twice every few centuries. This opportunity was rare, but the competition was incredibly fierce.
There were only ten spots, while the family's total membership neared a hundred thousand, even counting the outer branches.
Yet the competition remained exceptionally intense!
Inoshita came from a humble, impoverished background, with absolutely no backing behind him. If he showed even the slightest promise and became someone else's stumbling block—
he believed someone would come knocking within three days. When that happened, it would be death or injury.
The family was not short of people like him—people with talent and ability. They certainly would not investigate too deeply!
And anyone who dared act under the family's nose obviously had considerable backing.
So Inoshita was in no hurry to accomplish anything grand. But if he could bring Uchiha Hikaru back to Gochichi, his own family—
then, although the generous reward would draw envy, it would also be a chance to make a name for himself within the family and build some connections.
He believed that as long as he was careful enough, he would not attract anyone's hostility. The key was how to spend that generous reward!
As for what the burly man had said about becoming a captain after the family took control of Soul Society—
it was not that Inoshita had never considered it, but it definitely would not be that simple!
There was also one more thing. He had not been mistaken about the faint sense of danger coming from the man before him, who had bared his muscular upper body.
Although he had already decided to drag him into the family, necessary precautions still had to be taken. Otherwise, he would be as excited as the burly man right now!
