This figure is only one-third of the Captain's salary.

That makes sense, though. These unorganized, wild killers don't have it easy. Whether they can even make a living is entirely up to fate!

"I'll pay three times!" Yamabuki Chidori proudly held up three fingers. "If you don't have a house, there's Barracks, and you can eat for free in the canteen. There are extra subsidies in winter and summer, and workers' compensation insurance. They're currently studying the retirement structure, but there's no progress yet. In addition, there are twenty days of paid leave every year. You can work five days and rest two days, provided it doesn't affect the work of the team. If you're willing, come with me to see the Captain Commander now!"

"I'm willing." Ōtōgawa Utsugi agreed without any hesitation.

Where can you find a job with such high benefits and good pay? It's definitely better than living the life of a killer, living on the edge!

"From now on, call me Chief Strategist. If you encounter any problems in life, you can discuss them with me. I'm a very kind person, and I'll help the team members solve most problems." Yamabuki Chidori laughed, "And the most important thing is, can you give me back the luck you stole? If this keeps up, I'll go bankrupt! Then I'll come to your house for meals every day!"

Chapter 241: Question: Can All-Knowing All-Powerful reverse the Heat Death of the Universe?

After Ōtōgawa Utsugi's Bankai was released, the luck that had been absorbed naturally returned to Yamabuki Chidori.

Yamabuki Chidori took a deep breath. Great! The original thirteen Captain of the Gotei 13 are finally all together.

Afterwards, Yamabuki Chidori took Ōtōgawa Utsugi to complete the onboarding procedures. The Captain's onboarding was a big deal, so of course the Captain Commander had to review it personally.

On my way back, I ran into Unohana, who was leaving work. After explaining the situation, Unohana could only go home and prepare dinner.

Yamabuki Chidori brought Ōtōgawa Utsugi to the First Division Barracks.

It turned out there was another person in the Captain Commander's room.

Yamabuki Chidori sized up the guest in the Captain Commander's room. He was a middle-aged man around forty years old, smiling and looking very kind, talking to the Captain Commander.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Yamabuki Chidori, she quickly stood up and gave a slight bow.

"Chief Strategist, it's been a long time," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

Yamabuki Chidori gave a polite yet slightly awkward smile. "Brother, who are you? Have we met before? Can you stop being so familiar?"

Captain Commander Yamamoto seemed to realize that Yamabuki Chidori didn't recognize the middle-aged man, so he introduced him, "This is Mr. Honda. Seireitei, High-Ranking Noble of Seireitei. By the way, the mountain you blew up earlier was owned by Mr. Honda."

Yamabuki Chidori's face was full of bitterness. "Can we not talk about this anymore? I worked so hard, and after three months I didn't earn a single penny and I'm even owed wages for twenty years. Future capitalists would be devastated."

Mr. Honda said with a smile, "Actually, I came here today also to discuss compensation."

Yamabuki Chidori's face was full of awkward smiles.

If all else fails, I'll just kill him to silence him. Once the creditor is gone, my debt will naturally be forgotten. I'm such a genius!

Just then, Mr. Honda said with a smile, "Actually, I didn't come here to ask for money. I wanted to tell the Chief Strategist that you don't need to repay the compensation you owe me..."

Yamabuki Chidori suddenly looked up, her face filled with excitement as she grasped his hand. "You're such a good person!"

Mr. Honda chuckled awkwardly twice, then said, "Chief Strategist, there's no need to be so happy. Although I said the money doesn't need to be returned, I still need to give an explanation to my family."

Yamabuki Chidori coughed lightly to calm herself down. "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"I know the Chief Strategist has a clothing factory, and it's very popular. How about we join forces? I'd like to raise funds," Mr. Honda said.

Yamabuki Chidori raised an eyebrow slightly. So, you were waiting for me here, kid.

Her clothing store was indeed doing very well, attracting the envy of many. Moreover, Seireitei was actually quite large, and it was impossible for her small clothing store to handle all the business. Joint development was an inevitable path in the future. However, right now, all of Yamabuki Chidori's mind was focused on the Blood War that would take place in a few months.

"I have no problem with that, but I only own half of the garment factory. You own the other half with the Katori Family. If you really want to invest, why don't we find an opportunity for the three of us to sit down and talk it over slowly? There's no rush," Yamabuki Chidori said.

Mr. Honda laughed heartily, "I'm relieved to Chief Strategist's words. Captain Commander, if you have something to discuss, please continue. I won't disturb you any longer."

He bowed to the two men and then left the First Division Barracks.

Captain Commander Yamamoto looked at Yamabuki Chidori and sighed silently. This kid actually managed to cause me trouble.

"Alright, what brings you here in the middle of the night?" Captain Commander Yamamoto said.

Yamabuki Chidori Ōtōgawa Utsugi, who was standing next to her, to the Captain Commander and gave a brief introduction to Ōtōgawa Utsugi's background.

Captain Commander Yamamoto looked at the effeminate-looking young assassin before him and nodded slightly.

Now, only the Gotei 13 13 is still without a leader, Ōtōgawa Utsugi has been sent to the Tenth Division to serve as a Reserve Captain.

In this way, all the First Gotei 13 were now present.

It's time to officially appoint these Reserve Captain.

"Yamabuki, notify the entire team tomorrow. All members must attend. If there are no objections, all thirteen Reserve Captain will be officially appointed starting tomorrow," Captain Commander Yamamoto said.

Yamabuki Chidori has been waiting for this day for who knows how long. Finally, all the SSRs are collected. Yhwach, come here!

With the addition of the newly modified Shinigami Uniform and his own addition, the Gotei 13 is definitely stronger than in the original timeline. The only thing that is uncertain now is the exact limit of Yhwach's All-Knowing All-Powerful and omnipotence.

When watching Yamabuki Chidori, I had a theory that the power an All-Knowing All-Powerful being able to unleash might be related to their own abilities.

The true power of All-Knowing All-Powerful lies in foreseeing and Changing the Future.

In other words, all future timelines are related to the abilities of the omniscient and All-Knowing All-Powerful being.

In the final episodes of Bleach, Yhwach was able to become unstoppable, largely because he consumed the Soul King, which greatly increased his power!

What if we swapped Yhwach's and Orihime Inoue's abilities?

Yhwach's Power of Rejection might become the strongest shield that no one can break.

Even though Orihime Inoue could foresee the future, she was unable to reverse the unfavorable circumstances due to her own limited abilities.

Ultimately, no matter how extraordinary an ability is, it's all for naught if you don't have enough strength of your own!

Another aspect is the upper limit of All-Knowing All-Powerful.

If tomorrow is Heat Death of the Universe, and the entire universe falls into absolute stillness, with light disappearing and energy flow ceasing, could All-Knowing All-Powerful change this doomsday scenario?

Originally Soul Society only had one trump card, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, but now they have added Yamabuki Chidori, causing their chances of winning to skyrocket.

Yamabuki Chidori's only hope is that Yhwach doesn't undergo any mutation; if he remains exactly the same as in the original story, his inevitable fate is defeat.

I wonder when Shūtara Senjumaru's Shinigami Uniform will be finished?

The only pity is that the time is too short. When Yamabuki Chidori was researching Zanpakuto abilities before, he also developed Wormhole Ability. However, Wormhole Ability involve too many things, and even if he were to work hard now, it would be impossible for him to master this ability in five months.

I'll wait until after the Blood War when I have enough time to decide.

But the biggest gain from coming to the First Division this time is that I've saved my salary for the past twenty years. My luck has returned. After the team meeting tomorrow, I'll go to the factory to resolve all the issues that need to be resolved.

Chapter 242: The First Generation Captains of the Gotei 13 Assembles

The next day.

All members of the Gotei 13 gathered together. Today was a big day for the Gotei 13, as the Captain of all the squads would be selected.

Captain of the First Division, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

Second Division Captain, Shunshun Shidō.

Third Division Captain, Gen'en Kinra.

Fourth Division Captain, Shijima Chiru.

Fifth Division Captain, Obana Danjirou

The Captain of the Sixth Division, Saitō Fubōfu.

Captain of the Seventh Division, Shikkōgai Musashi.

Captain of the 8th Division, Katoru Hatsunoya.

Captain of the Ninth Division, Kumen'i Entetsu.

Captain of the Tenth Division, Ōtōgawa Utsugi.

Captain of the 11th Division, Unohana Yachiru.

Captain of the 12th Division, Zendouji Yuuhin.

Captain of the Thirteenth Division, Sakurane Saizo.

The reason we've gathered everyone here today is to give all team members a fair selection opportunity. Anyone can come up and challenge these thirteen Captain, and whoever wins will become the Captain of their respective squad.

Most of the team members were just there to watch the show.

After all, the Captain knew best how strong these captains were; who would be so reckless as to challenge Captain?

Of course, there were also those who didn't believe in fate, especially the troublemakers in the 11th Division. They knew they had no hope of fighting their own Captain, so they turned their attention to the other Captain.

"Guess which of these Captain is the weakest?" a member of the 11th Division whispered.

Everyone turned their attention to that direction.

The Captain Commander, needless to say, is unparalleled in the world, unmatched by anyone.

After much deliberation, the team members finally selected three Captain appeared to be the weakest.

Fourth Division Captain Shijima Chiru.

The Sixth Division Captain Saitō Fubōfu.

Captain of the 8th Division Katoru Hatsunoya.

It's easy to understand why Shijima Chiru would challenge the Fourth Division Captain. She looks sickly, as if she might vomit blood at any moment, or even vomit her own internal organs.

No matter how you look at it, this kind of person can't be very good!

Then there's Saito, the Captain of the Sixth Division, Saitō Fubōfu.

She looks like just a young girl, and since joining the Gotei 13, Saitō Fubōfu, hasn't had many scenes of fighting in front of her teammates, which has led many people to overlook her strength.

As for the last one Katoru Hatsunoya...

Most people went there to watch the game.

Whether we win or lose, the fight will be spectacular and magnificent. Winning or losing doesn't matter; the important thing is to participate.

Furthermore, this idea was shared by all the male team members, which is why the most people challenged Katoru Hatsunoya.

Looking at these incompetent team members, Yamabuki Chidori sighed and said, "How can you guys be so despicable? Is this what members of the Gotei 13 should be doing? You should be thinking about how to protect the world. I'm almost embarrassed to call you out on this!"

Yamabuki Chidori had somehow reached the highest point of all the buildings, and then, with binoculars in hand, prepared to closely observe the fierce battle between the team members and Katoru Hatsunoya.

Katoru Hatsunoya knew perfectly well what these male team members were thinking. He gritted his teeth and gripped his naginata.

Saitō Fubōfu was standing nearby, whispered a reminder: "Don't forget this is a team sparring match. We can't let anyone get killed. Be a little more careful when you fight later."

A chilling white light flashed on the lenses of Katoru Hatsunoya's glasses. "Don't worry, I'll properly collect their remains!"

Bankai! Sun Moon Flying Wheels!

The battle was one-sided.

Ordinary team members have almost no power to resist the Captain; it is already quite difficult for them to stand firm in the face of Captain-level Reiatsu.

There were twenty or thirty team members who challenged these Captain, but in less than a minute they were all lying on the ground groaning in pain. That's how big the gap was between the two sides.

Yamabuki Chidori watched the magnificent scene with a smug smile, but suddenly felt a chilling murderous intent. She glanced down and saw Unohana smiling at her.

Yamabuki Chidori hurriedly put away the binoculars. "I was standing at the highest point using the binoculars to keep watch around. Please don't misunderstand."

Unohana secretly rolled her eyes. "I don't believe you for a second."

These three Captain also demonstrated to the ordinary team members what it means to completely overwhelm someone with strength.

The ordinary team members and the Captain are not even in the same league.

Just when Yamabuki Chidori and Captain Commander Yamamoto thought the selection of the thirteen Captain was over, a very discordant voice appeared in the crowd.

"I haven't even made a move yet, how can the Captain selection be over? Let me do it." Tsunayashiro Fūka walked up with a smile, carrying a sword.

The knife in his hand was none other than the ancestral heirloom Kyōten'en.

This sword can replicate the Shikai of other Zanpakuto, but at the cost of consuming its own lifespan, so it cannot be used unless absolutely necessary.

"Captain Commander, Chief Strategist, I know that strength is paramount in our team, so I've been working my ass off to improve my skills these past few months. Don't worry, I'll easily take the Captain's position," said Tsunayashiro Fūka with extreme confidence.

He then stepped onto the ring under the watchful eyes of thousands of team members.

"Alright, choose the Captain you wish to challenge," the Captain Commander said.

He was quite familiar with Tsunayashiro Fūka's strength.

He's more than qualified to be a Lieutenant, but he's far from being qualified to compete for Captain.

Tsunayashiro Fūka has his own plans; he has analyzed the strength of each Captain from the most comprehensive perspective.

The first few to be eliminated are Captain Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. No one can match the Captain Commander's strength, and he is not that arrogant.
