The Staff Department Is Established-Finally, I'm Not Fighting Alone! / The Wedding (At Last, They Made It!)
If your entire clan refuses to submit, I will exterminate your entire clan.
It's that simple.
Moreover, all the nobles combined couldn't defeat Yamabuki Chidori alone.
"Yes, I agree!"
I agree.
"Using force to decide the seats in the Central 46 is an absolutely brilliant decision. I agree."
After killing the Sato clan chief, no one dared to oppose Yamabuki Chidori's proposal anymore.
That would be wonderful, everyone would be happy!
Yamabuki Chidori smiled and said, "We'll hold another election for the Central 46 members in three days. Those who want to participate, please sign up! Don't be late!"
Chapter 5: The Staff Department is established; finally, I'm not fighting alone anymore!
"I've said everything I wanted to say. Does anyone have anything to add?" Yamabuki Chidori looked at everyone with a smile.
These nobles could only smile politely. Anyone who dared to offer an opinion had their head blown off; who would dare to speak out of turn?
Yamabuki Chidori and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto bullied the weak.
These nobles had no choice but to unconditionally abide by the rules set by the other side.
"Since no one has anything to add, let's adjourn the meeting!" Yamabuki Chidori said with a smile.
Although Yamabuki Chidori kept smiling, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
The Great Noble stood up, preparing to leave.
Suddenly, Yamabuki Chidori said, "Oh, right, someone else has something important to tell me..."
These nobles, who were originally preparing to leave, suddenly turned back and sat there obediently, listening to what Yamabuki Chidori had to say.
"Unohana Yachiru and I will be getting married next month, and everyone must come to our wedding!" Yamabuki Chidori stole a large stack of invitations from her fire and had Chōjirō Sasakibe distribute them one by one.
"Absolutely! This is a very important matter! We will definitely be there!" The nobles said with beaming smiles.
A month later, the boy's status was completely different from what it was now.
Although Yamabuki Chidori is currently very strong and holds a very high position in the Gotei 13, his influence is limited to the Gotei 13.
In terms of social status, most nobles wouldn't think much of the young man before them, but the selection mechanism of the Central 46 was already established: status was determined by formidable martial prowess... well...
A month from now, Yamabuki Chidori will likely be one of the future highest-ranking figures. The power he represents will not only affect the Gotei 13, but also the entire Seireitei, and even control the life and death of every nobleman.
There's no way to resist!
We can only try to seek more benefits based on this premise.
Each nobleman received an invitation, and then left the Central 46 with wry smiles. The power structure that had remained unchanged for millions of years was about to undergo earth-shattering changes. This was certainly not good news for these ordinary nobles, but it was an inevitable trend that they had no power to stop.
After the meeting, Chōjirō Sasakibe asked excitedly, "Yamabuki Chidori, according to you, can I also participate in the Central 46's selection?"
"Of course." Yamabuki Chidori smiled and patted Chōjirō Sasakibe's head. In fact, Yamabuki Chidori not only wanted to change the power structure of Seireitei, but also wanted to find out how much wealth these nobles actually had. Even during the previous invasion of the Wandenreich, these nobles still preserved their strength to the greatest extent possible, but now it's different. If they still hide their strength now, they will only be eliminated slowly in the future.
Knowing the true nature of these nobles, Yamabuki Chidori could better control them.
"I'll go back to training now. If I can also achieve the status of Sage, can I get two salaries?" Chōjirō Sasakibe said, his eyes shining.
Yamabuki Chidori smiled wryly, "You actually still thinking about getting a salary?"
"Oh, by the way, after you finish your work, please send out the rest of the invitations for me," said Yamabuki Chidori.
Chōjirō Sasakibe nodded vigorously, grabbed a large stack of invitations, and ran out.
Three days passed quickly.
The people who came to participate in the selection for the Central 46 were packed in layers, all hoping to make a good future.
"I didn't expect so many people to come!" Yamabuki Chidori looked at the lively scene with a smile.
However, the situation was different from what was expected. Yamabuki Chidori had thought that all thirteen Captain of the Gotei 13 would sign up, but to her surprise, only a few people signed up, and most of them were not interested in this so-called power organization.
Aside from Yamabuki Chidori herself and Captain Commander Yamamoto, only Katoru Hatsunoya and Shunshun Shidō chose to sign up because of their families.
The remaining people looked down on the position in the Central 46, but that's understandable; everyone has their own ambitions, and Yamabuki Chidori couldn't force these people to do work they didn't want to do.
These nobles mobilized almost all of their reserves.
They exposed all the power they had accumulated over the years to the Yamabuki Chidori.
Almost all the High-Ranking Noble opposed the rule of re-selecting Yamabuki Chidori Central 46, but the ordinary Middle-Ranking Noble and Low-Ranking Noble unexpectedly supported it.
Normally, the position of "Sage" would almost never fall to them, but now, as long as they are strong enough, even a sparrow can ascend to the sky.
The fact that a large number of lower Low-Ranking Noble fully supported Yamabuki Chidori 'Yamabuki Chidori policies was somewhat unexpected for her.
"You absolutely must secure a position as Sage. The family has spent so many years nurturing you, isn't this all for today?"
"Although I am just an ordinary Low-Ranking Noble, in terms of strength, I am absolutely not inferior to those so-called elites!"
"I withstood the Wandenreich Invasion War; obtaining a Sage's position will be a piece of cake!"
"My greatsword is itching for a fight."
Everyone was eager and waiting for the selection process to begin.
Yamabuki Chidori was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, so she stopped dawdling and started the audition process immediately.
Divide everyone into two groups and have them compete against each other. The losing side is eliminated regardless of the reason.
Chōjirō Sasakibe was very confident in his abilities; he believed that as long as he wasn't drawn against any of the Captain, he wouldn't be eliminated in the preliminary rounds.
Then...
When Chōjirō Sasakibe arrived at the ring, he saw that the person standing in front of him was none other than Captain Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
Chōjirō Sasakibe almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Why am I so unlucky? I ran into the Captain Commander in the very first round of the draw!
"Sasakibe, as my second-in-command, let me see your true strength," Captain Commander Yamamoto said calmly.
"Bankai, Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū!"
Chōjirō Sasakibe knew that the gap between himself and the Captain Commander was insurmountable, so he immediately activated his Bankai, the immense Reiatsu of which shocked the surrounding contestants.
Chōjirō Sasakibe used all his strength. Captain Commander Yamamoto looked at Chōjirō Sasakibe and suddenly had an idea. He wanted to test the power of this move with his own body!
As the two figures passed each other, Chōjirō Sasakibe turned around, panting, and saw that there was blood on his sword.
Captain Commander Yamamoto reached up and touched his forehead, where a scar had appeared, forming an "X" shape with his original scar.
"Hmm, not bad, but unfortunately, it's still too immature! All things in the universe return to dust, Ryūjin Jakka!"
The Captain Commander defeated Chōjirō Sasakibe in a single move.
Chapter Six: The Wedding (Finally, they're married!)
The selection competition was extremely fierce, Yamabuki Chidori discovered that there were many hidden talents among the nobles.
After a two-week selection process, Yamabuki Chidori and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto took the top two spots and successfully secured the position of Great Sage.
Many of the remaining forty-four people were members of the Gotei 13. In fact, many of them were just Low-Ranking Noble, yet they were now above these High-Ranking Noble, which made these High-Ranking Noble, who were born with a sense of superiority, grit their teeth in anger. But that's how the rules are, and there's nothing they can do about it.
The Central 46 was rebuilt in this bizarre way.
The re-establishment of the Central 46 has indeed had a significant impact on the construction of Seireitei. With the issuance of a series of orders, Seireitei has returned to its former vitality.
Yamabuki Chidori simply watched quietly as her forty-four Sage handled their work. Unless it was an extremely special situation, they would not intervene. After all, Yamabuki Chidori's initial purpose was to supervise, not to dictate.
"My lord!" A subordinate of the Central 46 knelt respectfully behind Yamabuki Chidori: "My lord, your current status is already at the pinnacle of Seireitei, but your noble rank is still that of Low-Ranking Noble ... This... should we promote your noble rank? With your achievements, obtaining the status of High-Ranking Noble would be a piece of cake."
Yamabuki Chidori gazed at the scenery before her without turning her head.
This Low-Ranking Noble position was obtained when the Gotei 13 was established. All official members of the Gotei 13 who were commoners before joining the Gotei 13 would receive a Low-Ranking Noble position.
"What's there to change? I think the Low-Ranking Noble is fine too," Yamabuki Chidori said casually.
"This..." The subordinate's face showed a troubled expression.
Yamabuki Chidori gave him a slight sidelong glance.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go now!" said Yamabuki Chidori.
After her subordinates left, Yamabuki Chidori sneered. It seemed the Great Noble were still persistent, trying to test her limits. Fine, as long as they didn't go too far, she'd turn a blind eye. But once they crossed her line...
Do you know what "Nine Clans Elimination Game" is?
"He refused? He actually refused."
"This is a rare opportunity to elevate one's status, so why did that lord refuse to be promoted to a nobleman? Is there some hidden reason behind it?"
Looking at these insignificant nobles before her, Tsunayashiro Fūka sighed and shook her head. "How can you Chief Strategist of Staff with your intelligence?"
"From a nobleman's perspective, he is clearly just a Low-Ranking Noble yet he is above everyone else. This tells ordinary people and Low-Ranking Noble that birth and status are no longer important; strength is everything. The nobility we have upheld for millions of years may be completely destroyed in the next few hundred years. Chief Strategist Yamabuki, this move of cutting off our supply lines is brilliant! Hahaha!" Tsunayashiro Fūka also obtained a seat of the Sage.
It has to be said that it barely met expectations.
"Stop those probing little moves! They're pointless now! That person's power and strength have reached their peak, and all we can do is obediently submit. I don't want to hear news of your clans being wiped out one day. That person is capable of doing that!" Tsunayashiro Fūka laughed.
All the nobles felt a chill run down their spines.
Extermination of the entire clan.
These two words sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
Indeed, if it were that kid, he would definitely do such a thing.
Resist? With what can we resist?
"That person's wedding is in two weeks. Everyone, please show some sincerity, understand?" Tsunayashiro Fūka was like a completely tamed dog.
Dogs that can be tamed are generally among the smartest, because they know that if they dare to bare their teeth at their owners, they might be beaten to death, but as long as they are obedient and think of their owners in everything, they can eat and drink well and live a long life.
Tsunayashiro Fūka has found the best way to benefit her family.
Gotei 13.
Today, all thirteen Captain have gathered at the First Division.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto slammed his sword sheath shut. "Today I have a very important announcement to make. Hane Hane Chiyo has been specially awarded the position of Captain of the Kidō Corps for her outstanding performance in the Wandenreich Invasion War."
Hane Hane Chiyo, wearing the Captain's Haori, looked incredibly smug.
The Kidō Corps are now a special group on par with the thirteen divisions.
Moreover, Yamabuki Chidori had this plan when she first established the Kidō Corps, but at that time, Hane Hane Chiyo was too inexperienced to take on the position.
Now, Hane Hane Chiyo has experienced the Wandenreich Invasion War and even stopped Yhwach Zanpakuto. Everyone has to admit her ability, and it is well-deserved for her to take the position of Captain of the Kidō Corps.
However, at this crucial moment, Yamabuki Chidori didn't come because he proposed establishing Staff Department and went to select people.
As the Chief Strategist, it wasn't a big deal that he didn't have a single soldier under his command. Now that there were extra people, Yamabuki Chidori immediately relieved the pressure on herself.
Staff Officer Staff Officer are different from soldiers. Gotei 13 was first established, whoever could fight could join.
Talented individuals who excel in both literary and martial arts are rare. It took Yamabuki Chidori three whole days to select more than fifty people. Looking at his fifty-odd underlings, Yamabuki Chidori was so excited that he almost cried. Finally, someone was helping him share the workload.
I'll finally get to experience what it's like to be a leader.
Yamabuki Chidori broke down the work into various modules and then assigned these tasks to each Staff Officer, letting them figure them out on their own. As for herself... she could just sit in her office and drink tea.
Life is so comfortable!
She introduced herself, saying that the first thing she needed to consider was the wedding arrangements.
Getting married requires purchasing all sorts of materials, and since I don't have much experience with them, I have to ask others for help.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that among the Captain of the Gotei 13, the only one with experience in marriage was Shunshun Shidō.
He not only had a very beautiful wife, but also several concubines, and lived a very comfortable life every day.
Yamabuki Chidori was completely dumbfounded.
