The Unforgiven from Shinigami

September 13th.
The first rain of autumn fell on Seireitei, and the pattering rain has continued since last night.
On the side hall facing the Seireitei, a curtain of water hangs from the eaves, adding a touch of haziness to the once majestic view, making viewers feel as if they are in a painting that is so vast it seems to have no boundaries.
Such a beautiful scene, yet it caused great displeasure.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto frowned slightly; he disliked rainy days.
The air was damp, making it inconvenient for people to go out, and the sound of rain was irritating.
He found everything about it repulsive.
Sometimes, he even wanted to burn all the dark clouds in the sky clean with a single fire.
However, considering the natural laws of Soul Society, he chose to be patient, standing quietly in front of the water curtain, watching the rain scene outside.
The sky was dark and gloomy, with occasional Flash of lightning followed by booming thunder.
A knock at the door drowned out the sound of rain. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto turned around and called out, "Come in."
The door opened, and the three captains stepped in simultaneously. Due to their different heights, each step created a slight difference in their height.
A few steps away from Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the tallest Sajin Komamura, stopped and lowered his head, saying, " Genryūsai, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes, calling someone over on a rainy day—if it's nothing serious, I'm going to complain about you abusing your power."
A casual tone followed.
He was kicked hard by the petite figure beside him. " Shiraishi! In front of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, you better behave yourself."
"Yes, yes, I'll definitely listen to you."
Shiraishi spread his hands, and one sentence made her blush slightly. She glared at him with her beautiful eyes, thinking to herself that he was really inappropriate. This was in front of the Captain-Commander, how could he say such things?
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was still very mild-mannered in some minor matters. He hadn't lived for nothing all those years. He didn't pursue the issue of Shiraishi's attitude and said, "I called you here today because I have something urgent to tell you."
Outside Koizumi Village in Taibai, the 50th district of West Rukongai, Senkaimon has been discovered to have opened.
" Senkaimon "?
Soi Fon's shyness vanished, and a coldness appeared on her delicate, palm-sized face.
The Senkaimon from the World of the Living world back to the Soul Society usually leads to the Seireitei, not the Rukongai.
If there is such a thing, it can only mean that someone created Senkaimon to the Soul Society without authorization.
As far as she knew, there was only one person in the World of the Living with that ability.
"I suspect that Kisuke Urahara, the former director of the Research and Development Institute and captain of the Twelfth Division, may have created this Senkaimon."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto read out the name with an unusually solemn expression, pressing his palm against his cane as he said, "There are eight roving Ryoka who broke into Seireitei through the Senkaimon. Their numbers match those of the captain and vice-captain who plotted to Hollowfication power many years ago."
They are Fifth Division Shinji Hirako, former Ninth Division Kensei Muguruma, former Seventh Division Love Aikawa, and Third Division Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi.
Former Vice- Kidō Sect, Hachigen Ushōda; former Vice-Captain of the Twelfth Division Hiyori Sarugaki; former Vice-Captain of the Eighth Division, Lisa Yadōmaru; former Vice-Captain of the Ninth Division, Mashiro Kuna.
After reciting so many names in one breath, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto paused for a moment before saying, "They were originally captains and vice-captains of the Seireitei, but they became our enemies from the moment they started plotting to Hollowfication the Hollows. We cannot show them any mercy."
"Tsk tsk, sounds like quite a grand affair."
Shiraishi understood that the Visored wasn't bad people, and his tone became unusually relaxed.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto slammed his cane into the ground and said in a deep voice, "Don't let your guard down. Their strength is definitely not weak."
Besides, the visitors might not just be the eight of them; it's quite possible that Second Division Captain Yoruichi Shihōin is among them.
Upon hearing this name, Soi Fon's eyes widened, and a light golden Reiatsu emanated from her body like mist, her face covered with an inescapable killing intent.
Yoruichi Shihōin!
Shiraishi placed his hand on her shoulder and said gently, " Soi Fon, don't make such a scary face."
"Shut up."
Soi Fon coldly said,
Having no interest in arguing with him, she withdrew her surging Reiatsu and asked, " Captain-Commander, what do you want us to do?"
"Capture one of them alive and force them to reveal their purpose."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, his eyes narrowing slightly, stated the mission: "It would be best to annihilate the enemy outside the Seireitei."
The current Seireitei can no longer afford to cause further turmoil.
Shiraishi frowned slightly and said, " Captain-Commander, three against eight is a bit difficult. Are you sure you don't want to send more people?"
Soi Fon said coldly, "How can you, as the captain of the Gotei 13, be afraid of the difficulty of a mission?"
"I will do everything in my power to annihilate the enemy."
Sajin Komamura is equally single-minded. Even if it's a former captain who has fallen into evil ways, he is an enemy and will show no mercy.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto greatly admired their courage, but he did not approve of their reckless approach.
"This mission will be led by Captain Shiraishi, and the two of you will need to assist him in completing it."
"Ha?"
Soi Fon couldn't keep her composure any longer, and exclaimed in shock, " Captain-Commander Yamamoto, you're not kidding, are you?"
"That's an order."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto replied in a deep voice, explaining that he chose the three because he valued Shiraishi's quick wit and strength, which would help avoid casualties should an accident occur.
As for Soi Fon Sajin Komamura, they were simply the most obedient captains and easy to command.
As for the other captains, Kenpachi Zaraki's fighting spirit surged, and he no longer cared about missions or anything like that; he just wanted to fight to his heart's content.
Byakuya Kuchiki is of high status, strong, intelligent, and obedient—he has many advantages. The problem is that he is too outstanding, and the nobles are unwilling to let him leave.
Kyōraku and the others have just finished a long trip and need to stabilize morale within the team, so it's not convenient for them to go out again.
Jūshirō Ukitake is still recuperating.
After much deliberation, he felt that sending out this combination was the most suitable.
"Alright." Upon realizing he was the top leader, Shiraishi stopped complaining.
Based on his understanding of the Visored, as long as they weren't pushed too far, there was a high probability that no conflict would occur.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto glanced at the three men and said in a deep voice, "If you have no objections, depart immediately."
"Yes," the three replied in unison, turning and stepping out the door.
Closing the door, Shiraishi said smugly, " Soi Fon, I'm ordering you, as your superior, to come warm my bed tonight."
Soi Fon kept a straight face, completely ignoring him, and continued to stride forward with her short legs.
Shiraishi shrugged, then patted Sajin Komamura's broad back. "Oh well, you'll have to warm my bed tonight, big dog."
Soi Fon couldn't hold back any longer!
Sajin Komamura's tone was also displeased, "I'm not a dog, I'm a wolf."
"Hey, that's not the point," Soi Fon really wanted to say, but she held it back.
She was angry and couldn't just vent, so she snapped, " Shiraishi, shut up and get out of here!"
