Crossover Anime: Starting from Soul Society and Slicing Through All Worlds

Chapter 10 Night City: I'm a newbie Grim Reaper too!

After the captains' meeting, Ukitake Jushiro returned to the barracks and explained the situation to Kaien. As Yoru knew, a special team led by Hirako Shinji was formed and went to the scene of the incident to investigate.

The lineup of three captains and three vice-captains led everyone, including the chief captain, to believe that the investigation was a sure thing.

However, as it turned out, without much external interference, the plot did not change much. Hirako Shinji and his group still failed and were framed as traitors by Aizen.

Because Kisuke Urahara, the smartest man in Soul Society, realized something was wrong in advance, he used the Hogyoku to save Shinji Hirako and his group, but he was framed along with Yoruichi Shihouin and fled to the human world.

The Hollowfied Hirako Shinji and others formed the so-called "Visored Army," and the Gotei 13 entered its weakest period in history.

The Visoreds took away four captains and vice-captains, plus Yoruichi Shihouin of the Second Division and Kisuke Urahara of the Twelfth Division. Later, Isshin Shiba of the Tenth Division, who later became Isshin Kurosaki, will also be stationed in the human world.

In other words, due to Aizen's actions, the thirteen captains of the Gotei 13 lost more than half of their fighting strength.

As Kisuke Urahara and his group fled to the real world, the numerous vacancies for squad captains were quickly filled by fresh blood from each squad.

The Second Division is now led by Soi Fon, an A-cup girl; the Fifth Division's hair gel expert has finally returned to work; and the Twelfth Division's Technology Development Bureau has been replaced by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the former vice-director.

As for the remaining squads, because Gin Ichimaru, Kaname Tosen, and Sajin Hakumura are not yet senior enough, they have not been able to directly take over the position of squad leader.

Inside the 13th Division's barracks, the Amegakure Hall, Jushiro Ukitake and Yoru sat facing each other.

Two years have passed. Although Ukitake has been staying at home for most of the year due to his physical condition, the team's affairs are usually handled by Kaien.

However, Ukitake wasn't entirely indifferent to matters concerning the team; he had witnessed Yoru's performance and improvement over the past two years.

Putting aside his strength for the moment, Night City's manner of dealing with people and his efficiency in doing things are nothing like those of an apprentice Grim Reaper who has just graduated from the True Word Spirit Academy.

Kaien was a genius. When he first joined the 13th Division, he became the third seat in the division. Although Yoruichi was not as good as him, he also managed to become the fifth seat in the 13th Division within two years.

Originally, this position could have been promoted further, but Ye Cheng himself refused multiple times.

The reason given was that the third and fourth seats in their team were both cute girls, and Ye Cheng didn't want to take away what others liked. But in reality, Ye Cheng believed that the fifth seat was already a good match for his current status.

If you get promoted too high, you're likely to be used as a guinea pig and attract the attention of some big shots. But if you get promoted too low, you're likely to become cannon fodder. So, in Ye Cheng's opinion, the fifth seat is just right.

"Night City, I think you've heard about what's been happening with the Gotei 13 recently."

Currently, there are a large number of personnel vacancies in the Third Division, Fifth Division, Seventh Division, and still the Ninth Division.

"Leaving aside the captain's position for now, when the Captain-Commander asked if there were any suitable candidates in the other squads to serve as vice-captains or executive officers, I thought of you. I wonder what your thoughts are?" "To become a vice-captain, one must at least master 'Shikai' and possess a certain level of spiritual pressure."

But as far as I know, whichever it is, you should have already reached the standard, right? You and Haiyan often spar and train at Koibuzan in West Rukongai, shouldn't you?

Upon hearing what Captain Ukitake said, Yoruichi finally understood why the other party had taken the time to talk to him today. It turned out that he was preparing to recommend him to be a vice-captain in another division!

Leaving aside the Seventh Division for now, what about the Third, Fifth, and Ninth Divisions? Are those divisions that you can just go to casually?

"Captain, all I want is to stay in the 13th Division. That's my wish. And I don't think that with my current strength, I'm qualified to be a vice-captain."

Just kidding. Ye Cheng kept a low profile to avoid attracting the attention of the BOSS Legion. Fu Zhu is trying to figure out where he's going to put himself, is he trying to force him to defect?

The hairspray tycoon has charisma and excellent speaking skills. While his attitude towards his subordinates may not be the best, he is certainly not ruthless.

However, the key issue is that his opponent is a notorious cheater, Ichigo, who possesses the bloodlines of a Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy. He resorts to cheating when he can't win, and as the world's favorite son, he cannot be judged by common sense.

"If you become the vice-captain, the treatment will be vastly different from that of a seat commander. Moreover, with your talent, you might become the captain one day."

For a member of the Gotei 13 to transfer to another squad is no easy feat. If it weren't for this special situation, they might never have this opportunity again. Are you really going to give up?

Looking at Yoru, who was both beautiful and had a great personality, Ukitake was genuinely puzzled. Usually, Shinigami who joined the Gotei 13 would strive to climb the ranks to become a vice-captain or captain.

But now, the opportunity to become the vice-captain is within his grasp, yet Ye Cheng in front of him is making all sorts of excuses.

The same thing happened with Haiyan before. If I hadn't taken the initiative to invite him to become the vice-captain, he would probably still be training hard on Mount Koibu in West Rukongai.

Does this mean that the 13th Division is destined to produce slackers? One of the captains, due to health reasons, acts like a hands-off manager every day, ruining the team's atmosphere. As a result, no one in the team has any ambition and just wants to lie around doing nothing all day.

"In that case, let's discuss this matter later. There's one more thing I need you to do."

According to intelligence, a large number of souls have recently appeared in a city called Ukiyo-cho in the real world. The Technology Development Bureau, through spiritual pressure detection, discovered that a Hollow in that city may have grown into a Great Hollow Gillian by absorbing a large number of souls. Therefore, I need you to go and deal with it.

Yoruichi knew what Ukitake was talking about, after all, he was the fifth seat of the 13th Division. But as far as he knew, someone should have handled this matter, so he spoke up and said, "Isn't the matter of Ukiyo-cho handled by the third seat senior? Why...?"

"While the strength of the third seat of Reikawa is certainly good, he has no experience in fighting against Hollows, so I think it would be safer to send you there."

Sending Kaien through would have been the safest option, but the Seireitei has a rule that, to prevent excessive damage to the human world, the spiritual pressure of beings at the vice-captain level and above is limited and sealed when passing through the interdimensional gate, allowing them to exert only one-fifth of their spiritual pressure intensity.

When Yoruichi heard what Ukitake said, he was speechless. He understood that as the vice-captain, Kaien could not go to the human world casually, but the three seats he was facing had no experience in fighting against Hollows. Did he have experience?

He only graduated from the True Word Spirit Arts Academy two years ago; he's the real newbie!
