Yachiru ran after Yamabuki Chidori without a second thought.
The 11th Division members asked quietly, "Captain... shouldn't we go after the Lieutenant?"
"Leave her. She'll come back on her own once she's eaten her fill." Kenpachi Zaraki rolled over, ready for a nap.
Meanwhile, the recording of Yamabuki Chidori's fight with Kenpachi Zaraki had reached Aizen.
Aizen watched the battle in silence.
Why did another troublesome person have to show up?
"But it doesn't matter. Kenpachi Zaraki is strong, but beating me as I am now won't be easy," Aizen said confidently.
Only two obstacles stood in his way now.
One was the Captain Commander's Ryūjin Jakka.
The other was his dear Teacher, Yamabuki Chidori.
Aizen had spent years trying to win Yamabuki Chidori over.
But no matter what Aizen did, Yamabuki Chidori's response remained noncommittal. He stayed strictly neutral and refused to get involved in any trouble.
Aizen still couldn't tell what his Teacher wanted.
Still, the Hollowfication Experiment had reached a mature stage. In a few years at most, he could use Captain Hirako as a test subject.
The thought alone made him happy.
A few days later.
News that Kenpachi Zaraki had become a new captain of the Gotei 13 spread throughout Soul Society.
The most excited person wasn't in the Gotei 13. He was a bald man in Gomukui District.
"So he really went to Seireitei and became a Soul Reaper." Ikkaku Madarame had spent years quietly searching for news of Kenpachi Zaraki, but he had found nothing.
A century had passed before he heard Kenpachi Zaraki's name again.
"Yumichika, how about we join the Gotei 13 and become Soul Reapers?" Ikkaku Madarame asked excitedly.
Ayasegawa Yumichika looked troubled. "If that's your choice, I suppose I'll have to go with you."
The two set off together
