The Denreishinki were mostly used for communications between the Seireitei and external parties.
Within the Seireitei, the Central 46 Chambers and the Captain-Commander still maintain very old methods for conveying orders.
Deploy either the Hell Butterfly or the Stealth Force Fifth Division, the Riteitai.
They are a non-combat force whose mission is to relay orders. They have abandoned the Zanpakuto, Kidō, Zanjutsu, and Hakuda (a form of martial arts) of Shinigami ( the Shinigami), Isshin training Shunpo ).
Gorō Ōishi was born into a lower-class noble family. After graduating from the Shin'ō Academy, he joined the Stealth Force and was assigned to the Riteitai for more than ten years. Because of his Shunpo and obedience, he was transferred to the Captain-Commander's side to serve him.
Including him, there were five members of the Riteitai on standby, usually hiding on the roof, waiting for orders to come from below.
Those on duty during the current time period should be dispatched.
This time, the Captain-Commander issued two orders at once. The person on duty left, Gorō Ōishi, who took over the shift, naturally carried out the next order.
Without hesitation, he immediately used Shunpo to fly between the rooftops and headed towards the Tenth Division's barracks.
The first lesson for the Riteitai was to learn how to navigate the map of the Seireitei. He wasn't bragging; he could find the captains' offices of each squad even with his eyes closed.
He Shunpo in the Tenth Division barracks, jumped in through a window, and knelt on one knee, saying, " Captain Shiba, urgent order! Captain-Commander, you... who are you?"
Gorō Ōishi was speaking when he suddenly realized that the person sitting in the captain's seat was not Isshin Shiba, but a boy.
He had short, silver-white hair, and his bright green eyes were reminiscent of green agate. His expression was calm, and he had the air of a grown man.
"I'm not a child," the boy emphasized, then added, "My name is Tōshirō Hitsugaya, the Third Seat of the Tenth Division. Captain Shiba is not here right now, so you can talk to me about anything."
Gorō Ōishi frowned and said, "This won't do. What about Lieutenant Matsumoto?"
"They're not here either."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya replied calmly, having completely resigned himself to his fate, having gone from initial fierce protest to presenting a peaceful acceptance.
Gorō Ōishi frowned even more, considering whether to relay the orders to Hitsugaya, when suddenly another person appeared before him. "Does the Captain-Commander have any orders?"
Isshin Shiba sensed an unfamiliar Reiatsu and, fearing something might have happened to Hitsugaya, stopped slacking off and rushed back.
Gorō Ōishi replied, " Captain Shiba, the Captain-Commander requests that you go to the living room to see him immediately."
"I understand," Isshin Shiba said solemnly. The fact that the Captain-Commander had actually dispatched the Riteitai to summon him indicated the urgency of the situation. " Hitsugaya, I'm entrusting the Tenth Division's duties to you."
"When haven't you asked me for help?"
Hitsugaya replied expressionlessly that he handles official business for 28 days a month.
"Haha," Isshin Shiba laughed awkwardly, Shunpo towards the First Division barracks with Shunpo.
Before long, he arrived at the living room of the First Division's barracks. He pushed open the door and saw the figure leaning against the railing, looking into the distance. He felt a strange sense of pressure, probably the nervousness that a mischievous student would feel when seeing a teacher.
" Captain-Commander, what can I do for you?"
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto turned around and said calmly, "What kind of person do you think Kūkaku Shiba is?"
Isshin Shiba frowned; the Captain-Commander wasn't one for casual conversation.
Kūkaku gotten into trouble?
This was the only reason he could think of: because of Kaien's death, Kūkaku and the Tsunayashiro Clan were now locked in a fierce battle. Tsunayashiro Clan's assets in the West District Twenty-Six, but also kept pressuring the Central 46 Chambers to investigate the Tsunayashiro Clan.
Is this a counterattack by the Tsunayashiro Clan in smearing others?
Isshin Shiba said in a deep voice, " Kūkaku is kind and innocent, warm and hospitable, and would never do anything bad."
"There are reports that she has a close relationship with Shiraishi."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, having revealed this information, stared intently at him and said, "I'd like to hear your opinion."
Isshin Shiba said solemnly, "Slander! This is blatant slander! How could Kūkaku, as the head of the Shiba Clan, associate with criminals?"
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto tapped his fingers on the surface of his cane. Regarding this matter, he had no actual evidence, only hearsay, and he couldn't guarantee whether that person was truly slandering him.
But the matter was too big, too big for him to ignore even that one in ten thousand possibility. "To stop the rumors, we need to reveal the truth. I want someone to investigate Kūkaku Shiba. What do you think?"
"Uh," Isshin Shiba didn't know how to answer.
Given the status and position of the Shiba Clan, Five Great Noble Clans, it is impossible to launch an investigation into such a vague and unsubstantiated rumor without substantial evidence.
Otherwise, anyone could say that a certain nobleman had a relationship with a prisoner.
If we investigate each case individually, even expanding the Stealth Force forces three or four times over might not be enough.
"What do you think?" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto asked again.
Isshin Shiba and said, "I have no objection."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto nodded and said, "Alright, I'll have the Stealth Force investigate Kūkaku Shiba and clear her name."
Isshin Shiba groaned. There was no truth to the claim of Kūkaku's innocence; she and Shiraishi were very close. " Captain-Commander, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto said in a deep voice, "Something big may be happening soon. All captains of the Gotei 13 must remain in Seireitei on standby. After you return, do not leave your barracks; wait for orders in your current location."
Isshin Shiba couldn't help but ask, "Is it related to Shiraishi?"
It's always better to be prepared than unprepared.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto did not give a specific answer, mainly because he could not see the situation clearly or figure out the enemy's purpose. He could only withdraw his forces and ensure the safety of Seireitei first.
Isshin Shiba this as an admission, and was puzzled. He had never met Shiraishi, yet he believed Kūkaku's words.
how so?
He left the First Division with a head full of questions and returned to the Tenth Division's captain's office.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya looked up and asked, "Does the Captain-Commander have any orders?"
"They told us not to go out lately, saying something big is going to happen. Ugh, this is such a hassle."
Isshin Shiba scratched the back of his head, reached for the documents on the table. "Since I'm already here, I should at least help with this," he said. "Huh, a pension application?"
" The Shinigami stationed in Naruki City died unexpectedly last month. The cause is still under investigation. The approval for the compensation from the Central 46 Chambers has not yet been issued, and I plan to apply again."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya casually replied.
"Oh, I do remember that," Isshin Shiba, putting down the death benefit application and looking at the soldier's death date on the death benefit form.
He suddenly realized something was wrong, and a bold idea flashed through his mind: if he caused a big commotion in Soul Society, wouldn't no one in the World of the Living pay attention?
Isshin Shiba, then realized that this was quite possible and decided to go to the World of the Living.
"Wait, Captain, where are you going?"
"Go and investigate the cause!" he replied.
" The Captain-Commander's orders..." Tōshirō Hitsugaya's words were drowned out by the wind.
