The Unforgiven from Shinigami
The departure of the two captains caused Yushiro Shihōin to sit back on the purple futon, his face filled with deep sorrow.
He and Shin'ichirō had a very good relationship.
Originally, the position of head of the Shihoin belonged to his older sister. He never imagined that his noble and powerful older sister would be gone, so he never learned how to handle family affairs.
The clan elders also had no intention of grooming him.
Everyone believed that Yoruichi Shihōin would live much longer than Yushiro.
Unexpectedly, Yoruichi betrayed Seireitei, Yushiro was forced to take on the heavy responsibility of the twenty-third head of the family. Various etiquette and knowledge followed, making him feel like he couldn't breathe.
At that time, it was Shin'ichirō who took the initiative to step forward and help share the burden of complicated tasks, encouraging him.
They had agreed to work together to revitalize the Shihoin Clan and build a new armed force to compensate for the Shihoin Clan's lost Stealth Force authority.
As a result, Shin'ichirō was murdered!
"Who did this?" Yushiro muttered to himself, a ferocious murderous intent flashing across his usually gentle face. "I must avenge my brother Shin'ichirō!"
"Great!" Tsunayashiro Tokinada secretly wanted to laugh. The expression of murderous intent that erupted from such a gentle person was simply too wonderful. "Nine times out of ten, he's targeting someone who wants to hinder the establishment of the Gold Seal Unit."
"Could it be the Kuchiki Clan?"
Yushiro touched his chin.
If we're talking about the Four Great Noble Clans, the one who openly refused to allow the establishment of the Gold Seal Unit was Byakuya Kuchiki.
"Without evidence, we shouldn't blindly assume who the enemy is, lest we fall into someone else's trap."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada did not give a definite answer. He understood that although the child seemed gentle and weak, he actually possessed the strength of the Shihoin family deep down.
Trying too hard to interfere with his thoughts will only arouse suspicion; it's better to let things take their natural course.
Always just state the beginning of things, and let the other person fill in the rest in their imagination.
Yushiro pursed his lips, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was the Kuchiki Clan. " Byakuya Kuchiki."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada said softly, "The best thing we can do right now is to establish the Gold Seal Unit. Only then can we legitimately investigate Shin'ichirō's murder."
"Alright, I'll sign the letter. You take it and give it to Captain-Commander Yamamoto."
Yushiro no longer hesitated. He had originally planned to wait for Shin'ichirō to return to discuss it, but now he could only sign his name directly and ask Captain-Commander Yamamoto to agree to their proposal.
"Hmm." Tsunayashiro Tokinada's fox-like eyes narrowed slightly. He had been putting on an act all this time, pretending to be a repentant good person, all for this day.
To seize more power.
It wasn't that he had a great desire for power; he simply felt that having power made it easier for him to do evil.
Moreover, he never considers the magnitude of his evil deeds; he will choose to do any evil he deems wrong.
They bullied an elderly woman who was alone and forced a woman to eat until she developed stretch marks, eventually causing her to vomit and die.
Snatching a lollipop from a three-year-old child.
He murdered his wife, framed his colleagues, and plotted to overthrow the Seireitei, among other things.
Such twisted behavior is not due to any tragic childhood experience; he is simply a born villain.
His very being was imbued with a sinful bloodline, driving him to become hopelessly addicted to singing about his own desires.
It feels so good to do evil.
If things continue like this, he might be destroyed by the Quincy, or ravaged by the Hollows, and dying at the hands of an ambitious person wouldn't be bad either.
In short, his evil deeds would not stop until the moment of his death.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada stepped out of the hall, clutching the joint letter from the nobles. Cicadas chirped incessantly in the trees, and the sunlight was dazzling. He quickened his pace and rushed into the shaded path.
Leaving the Shihoin Clan and the main gate of the noble district, he Shunpo towards the First Division.
The First Division didn't have much security around the place where the Captain-Commander was stationed; given his strength, there was no need for security.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada easily entered the First Division barracks and walked to the side hall where the Captain-Commander was located before being stopped.
"Stop."
" Vice-Captain Sasakibe, it's been a long time."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada, his fox-like eyes narrowing, his expression seemingly befitting the joy of seeing his former boss.
Chōjirō Sasakibe, his face grim, said, "Don't give me that crap. What brings you here, kid?"
"How cold-hearted! I have repented and wish to fight alongside Lord Yushiro for the safety of Seireitei."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada pulled out a joint letter from the nobles in his pocket and said with a smile, "We hope the Captain-Commander can approve the establishment of the Gold Seal Unit."
"You wait here," Chōjirō Sasakibe, glancing at the scene before turning and entering through the side hall door.
"Hehe." Tsunayashiro Tokinada smiled and patiently waited for the Captain-Commander to meet him. He knew that the Captain-Commander, who considered the overall situation, would definitely agree to the establishment of the Gold Seal Unit.
If he continues to refuse, it doesn't matter. He just needs to kill a few more nobles, and the unease will spread like sparks falling into dry grass, quickly igniting the noble street.
He hummed a folk song.
After a while, the door opened again, Chōjirō Sasakibe said expressionlessly, "You can go in now."
Thank you.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada chuckled and strode into the side hall. This was the first time he had set foot here since being imprisoned in the Maggot's Nest.
Nothing has changed.
The scenery and furnishings were just as they had been hundreds of years ago, and so was the man himself, wearing the Captain's Haori of the First Division, standing silently with his long beard hanging down to his chest, exuding the same powerful sense of oppression as when they first met.
" Captain-Commander Yamamoto, it's been a long time."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada stepped forward with a respectful expression.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto slightly raised his eyelids and said, "Kid, stop pretending to be so respectful."
"No, I genuinely admire someone like you."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada replied with a smile that he was a scumbag who admitted to being a scumbag, but also respected those with beautiful feelings.
Only those kinds of people derive intense pleasure from destruction.
His greatest masterpiece since he started committing evil is the current Ninth Division, Kaname Tōsen.
Even now, thinking back to that expression still brings a smile to my face.
That's awesome!
"Hmph, you didn't come here to spout this nonsense, did you?"
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto still didn't believe it, his sharp eyes falling on the joint letter in his hand. "Bring it here."
"Yes, please take a look."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada delivered a joint letter from the nobles.
When Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto opened the document, he found that, spearheaded by the Shihoin Clan and joined by the Tsunayashiro Clan, more than twenty heads of upper-class noble families jointly proposed the establishment of Gold Seal Unit to protect the safety of the nobles in the noble district.
Thinking of Soi Fon's report, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto put away the joint letter and asked expressionlessly, "Who is the commander of the Gold Seal Unit?"
"Of course, it's Yushiro."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada answered without hesitation.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto said calmly, "Remember to submit the personnel list, training grounds, and required funding to the First Division afterward."
"Certainly."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada's lips curled into a smile. "I'll prepare those."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto lowered his eyes; "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."
