Shijima Chigiri's Massage Parlor / Is This Massage of Yours on the Up-and-Up? ...

Yamabuki Chidori took a contract out of her drawer.

"Can you read? If you can read, come and take a look at this. This is a temporary employment contract. As long as you sign it and pass a series of tests, you can become a member of the Gotei 13, and becoming Captain is not impossible." Yamabuki Chidori revealed a devilish smile.

The Captain of other teams must undergo multiple rounds of assessments.

However, there is one squad that doesn't need to, and that is the 11th Division.

As long as the 11th Division can fight, that's fine. What's with Kenpachi Zaraki?! What's with that Kenpachi Kiganjo?! Does he even know how to manage these guys?

He doesn't know anything!

Of all their attributes, they only possess one: they are incredibly powerful.

After unleashing his power, Kenpachi Zaraki has reached the pinnacle of pure Shinigami, surpassing even ordinary Shinigami Captain by a significant margin.

No matter how fancy your tricks are, I, Eighth Master, will chop you down with one knife until you kneel and sing "Conquer"!

That's just how capricious I am.

Moreover, in this world, Kenpachi Zaraki did not suppress his fighting power because of Unohana, and who knows how much he will grow in the future.

This Maru in front of me is indeed very poor in other aspects. He doesn't know etiquette or management, but becoming the Captain of the 11th Division has nothing to do with these things. As long as you can fight, that's all that matters!

According to the rules, the next "Kenpachi" must defeat the previous "Kenpachi" by force in order to obtain the position of Captain.

However, the rules are stuck with the Yamabuki Chidori.

If the position of Captain of the 11th Division must be passed down according to this rule, Yamabuki Chidori is very likely to be stuck in the position of Captain of the 11th Division.

In a one-on-one duel, even the Captain Commander wouldn't have a guaranteed victory against Yamabuki Chidori.

Therefore, Yamabuki Chidori has been searching for a successor to the Captain the 11th Division for decades.

Unfortunately, only Captain-level like him appear once in a century, and he had been searching for decades without success.

Now, a living, breathing brute is standing right in front of him; how could he possibly let him go?

Chapter 101: Shijima Chiru's Massage Parlor

As for the Captain Commander...

Yamabuki Chidori's brow twitched. "I was originally just an office worker! Why are you putting me in the position of Captain of the 11th Division? I've been here for over a hundred years, and I've already done more than enough for you!"

Now that there's a rare person capable of succeeding him, of course we should relinquish the Captain as soon as possible.

Otherwise, working two jobs every day but only receiving one salary, and having to hand over your entire monthly salary to your wife, would be an inhuman existence.

"Think about it. If you become a member of the Gotei 13, you'll have a stable job and income, and then you can pay back the money," Yamabuki Chidori said.

Maru was deep in thought. He had always lived in the mountains, and life in Seireitei was certainly more comfortable than living deep in the mountains. He wished he could stay there forever.

This presented him with a perfect opportunity.

"I can try, but I don't like being bound by rules," said Maru.

"I will give you a certain degree of freedom. Of course, freedom does not mean doing whatever you want. You will have to learn a lot. Now, you will join the 11th Division and become an ordinary member," Yamabuki Chidori said.

The two had just met, and Yamabuki Chidori didn't yet understand Maru's temperament and personality, so many things needed to be worked out gradually.

Maru may appear burly and rough on the surface, but such people often have their own hidden agendas.

Although the position of Captain of the 11th Division only requires fighting ability, Yamabuki Chidori also wants to find someone she can stand.

This Maru... well, overall it's actually a bit lacking.

It's better than nothing, to say the least.

I'll spend the next period of time observing him closely.

"Ordinary squad members...the lowest-ranking members, right? Couldn't you have given me a position like Captain Lieutenant? That way I could earn money faster and pay off my debts sooner." Maru said, "With my strength alone, those ordinary squad members aren't even worthy of carrying my shoes. You want me to work with them?"

"Hurry up and go!" Yamabuki Chidori said calmly.

Maru had no choice but to take up his post in the 11th Division.

The 11th Division was originally composed of a large group of extremely powerful bandits, but these bandits were later incorporated into the army and formed the prototype of the 11th Division.

Later, those fierce and valiant members were sent to the 11th Division, and over time, the 11th Division became the most powerful fighting force.

As a result, the person was sent there in the morning, and someone came to complain in the afternoon.

"Chief Strategist, the new recruit who just joined the 11th Division today is called Maru, right? During lunch today, he got into an argument with other members and apparently injured two of them," a Seated Officer whispered.

Yamabuki Chidori rubbed her temples. "How did I get into trouble on my first day at work?"

"Tell me the details," Yamabuki Chidori asked.

"Actually, it wasn't a big deal. It's just that this newcomer deliberately cut in line during lunch, which resulted in an argument with two team members. Taking advantage of his strength, he beat both team members so badly they ended up in the hospital, though only with minor injuries," Seated Officer said. "Do you think we should punish him...?"

He knew the person was sent by Yamabuki Chidori, but how to proceed depended on Yamabuki Chidori's wishes.

"Don't give me face, just do what you're supposed to do," Yamabuki Chidori said.

It seems that Maru still has a lot to learn.

"Do what needs to be done, don't worry about me," Yamabuki Chidori said calmly.

While the Captain of the 11th Division needs to be strong in combat to be competent, he cannot rely solely on strength; he must at least understand what it means to follow orders.

Kenpachi Zaraki may seem like a reckless brute, but he doesn't shirk any of the responsibilities.

We can't really let a savage become the Captain of the 11th Division, so he should still understand the rules.

After receiving Yamabuki Chidori's reply, the Seated Officer quietly withdrew, seemingly understanding what Yamabuki Chidori wanted to do.

After the Seated Officer left, another person appeared in Yamabuki Chidori's office Saitō Fubōfu, who had long since retired but had been eating at Yamabuki Chidori's house.

"Oh my! Looks like you're thinking of abdicating too! Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry to find a successor?" Saitō Fubōfu grinned at Yamabuki Chidori.

"Those who want to freeload should just shut up! I have my own plans," said Yamabuki Chidori, holding a pipe in her hand.

"You really intend to let that savage become the Captain of the 11th Division? Sure, he's strong enough, but I can't agree with his other qualities. He's completely a self-centered savage," Saitō Fubōfu said. "Or do you have other plans? After all, that person Ukitake brought back over a month ago..."

"Ahem, alright, that's enough." Yamabuki Chidori kept twirling her pipe in her hand. "I know what I'm doing."

Saito rolled his eyes. "Fine, forget it then. I'm retired now, these things have nothing to do with me. You can handle it yourself! Any entertainment plans for tonight?"

After a moment's thought, Yamabuki Chidori suggested, "How about we check out Shijima Chiru's acupuncture and massage parlor? I heard she recently launched a brand new model! It's incredibly popular!"

After resigning, Shijima Chiru opened an acupuncture and massage shop in Rukongai, but business was always just average. However, recently, it was heard that Shijima Chiru's business had suddenly become very popular. Yamabuki Chidori seriously suspected that this kid might be involved in some illegal or criminal activities and planned to conduct a surprise inspection.

If you really have those things, why don't you bring them out and let me try them first!

"Alright! Let's go together!" Saitō Fubōfu, said.

"I understand that I work every day and accumulate a lot of stress and fatigue, but your biggest worry every day is what to eat for dinner. Why do you have to come with me?" Yamabuki Chidori said with a look of disdain.

"Thinking about what to eat for dinner every day is exhausting!" Saitō Fubōfu retorted.

It wasn't time to leave work yet, so Yamabuki Chidori decided to skip work early and brought Saitō Fubōfu to the acupuncture shop run by Shijima Chiru.

As soon as I approached, a young and beautiful woman greeted me at the entrance of the acupuncture shop with a smile, saying, "Hello, would you like some acupuncture and massage services?"

Yamabuki Chidori paused for a moment, then peeked into the shop and saw a man lying on the bed, taking a nap with a fan covering his face. It was Shijima Chiru.

Yamabuki Chidori picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at Shijima Chiru.

Shijima Chiru caught the small stone as if his hands had developed eyes.

"Oh my, what a rare guest!" Shijima Chiru was also quite surprised to see Yamabuki Chidori and Saito, and greeted them with a smile.

Chapter 102: Is this massage you're giving a proper massage?

When three old friends meet, they naturally have a lot to talk about.

"You two bastards haven't come to see me for so long, I thought you'd both forgotten about me!" Shijima Chiru opened his arms and hugged Yamabuki Chidori and Saito.

Suddenly, Yamabuki Chidori's face hardened. "Who's joking around with you? I received a report that you're offering some shady services here. Let me see just how shady you are!"

As she spoke, a perverted smile appeared on Yamabuki Chidori's face. Shijima Chiru laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I only offer legitimate massages here."

Soon, Yamabuki Chidori saw three young girls working at the acupuncture and massage shop. They were all quite young, looking no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and each of them had a very pure and lovely smile. Yamabuki Chidori reached out and grabbed Shijima Chiru by the neck. "Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. You better tell me honestly what you've been up to? You haven't really gone down the path of crime, have you? Don't worry, for the sake of our past friendship, I will definitely punish you with the death penalty."

Shijima Chiru, nearly suffocating from the choking, cried out, "Wake up! I'm not the kind of person who does that kind of thing. I'm doing legitimate massages. These girls are all homeless; I teach them massage to earn a living. It's your own dirty thoughts that's the problem. Let go! If you don't let go, you'll lose me as your best friend!"

To prove that what Shijima Chiru said was true, Yamabuki Chidori decided to personally test the girls' cooking skills.

There's a set procedure: first, you take a shower, then you lie face down on the bed, and the girls gently massage your back muscles with their soft little hands to relax your body.

Saito was lying next to her, being massaged by a little girl named Kyoko. On Yamabuki Chidori's side was a little girl named Akiko, who looked quite young.

"Excuse me, may we begin?" Miss Akiko seemed to know that the man in front of her was no ordinary person, so she was a little nervous.

"Okay! Please make yourself at home." Yamabuki Chidori lay on the bed, looking a little tired. Sometimes he needed to completely relax.

As the girl's fingers landed on Yamabuki Chidori's back, Yamabuki Chidori frowned. "Why do you seem so weak? Does Shijima Chiru usually not feed you?"

"I'm... I'm sorry! I'll use more force." Miss Akiko used all her strength in her hands, but Yamabuki Chidori still didn't feel anything.

Forgot, it's not that this girl lacks strength, but rather that her physical strength is too high. Even without the Blut Vene and Hard Skin skills, the physical strength brought by her Reiatsu is still terrifying.

In the end, Ms. Akiko's hands ached from exhaustion, while Yamabuki Chidori remained unmoved and found the experience utterly uninteresting.

However, having three little ones does attract a lot of men for massages. After all, entertainment options are limited in this era. Having a cute girl massage your back while you're lying in bed after a good meal can satisfy many people's vanity.

At this moment, Shijima Chiru also remembered that Yamabuki Chidori's body was different from that of ordinary people. She waved to Akiko- san, telling her to step down, and took over herself.

"You think our cute girls aren't strong enough, huh?" Shijima Chiru grinned maliciously. He remembered how badly he had been beaten when they first met, and today he was finally going to get his revenge. Besides, he hadn't wasted the last hundred or two centuries. Shijima Chiru had been secretly training his abilities, and although he had retired, his strength was definitely no less than that of the Captain of the Gotei 13.

His Reiatsu was highly concentrated at his fingertips, and he pressed his hands against Yamabuki Chidori's back with sudden force.

"I have no strength! Push harder... Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..." Yamabuki Chidori felt Shijima Chiru's finger pressure penetrate her skin and reach her muscles.

After a sharp pain, Yamabuki Chidori felt a sense of relief and relaxation, and her whole body went limp.

Miss Akiko felt a chill run down her spine, because she had once witnessed the shopkeeper pierce through an iron plate with his finger.

People who sit at their desks for long periods accumulate a lot of fatigue in their necks and shoulders. Yamabuki Chidori felt weak all over, and that fatigue was being gradually drawn away.

There was a time when he thought his body was amazing and that this situation could never happen.

Little did people know that the Seventh Hokage of Konoha, despite possessing the ability to kill gods, was still physically exhausted by various daily tasks.

What defeats us is never a powerful enemy, but work and life.

With her fatigue dissipating, Yamabuki Chidori fell into a deep sleep, and when she woke up again, an hour had passed.

When she woke up again, Saito was drawing something on his face with a paintbrush. Yamabuki Chidori gave Saito a flick on the forehead.

"I slept so well, "Yamabuki Chidori couldn't help but stretch.

"What did you draw on my face?" Yamabuki Chidori couldn't help but ask. When she looked in the mirror, she realized that cat whiskers had been drawn on her face, making her look more like the Seventh Hokage.

It's still early. It's winter, and it gets dark around 4 PM. The last rays of sunlight are still in the sky, which means it's only a little past 3 PM.

"It's my treat, how about we all go grab something to eat?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

Without hesitation, Shijima Chiru chose the most expensive restaurant nearby and ordered a huge spread of food.

Saito made a special trip back to Seireitei and summoned Unohana as well.

After much discussion, the conversation eventually returned to work.

"What? You want to give up your position as Captain of the 11th Division? Who has that kind of charisma?!" Shijima Chiru asked in surprise.

The three lovely young ladies had never been to such an expensive restaurant before. They chatted and laughed as they ate, displaying the vivacity of youth.

"A very strange person. Anyway, I believe my judgment is correct," Yamabuki Chidori said calmly.

Shijima Chiru picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl. "Anyway, I haven't been the Captain for many years, so team matters have nothing to do with me. I trust your judgment."

Both Captain of the 11th Division are here; let them decide what happens to the 11th Division themselves.

"By the way, you didn't seem to mind spending any money when I was ordering. Did you hide some cash from me?" Shijima Chiru asked in a low voice.

"Ahem! Is this the kind of thing to ask in public?" Yamabuki Chidori glanced at Unohana, who was chatting with the three little girls and seemed unaware of what was happening here.

"Let me tell you a secret, this shop is actually owned by me, it's one of my many businesses. Do you know how I hide my secret stash of money? I break it down into smaller amounts. I don't even know how much money I have, let alone anyone else! Brother, learn from me."

Chapter 103: Twin Tails in the Dark

After saying goodbye to their old friends, the three of them went home together.
