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

Chapter 103 The Captains Who Just Slack Off Every Day

The so-called "Captains' Meeting" of the Gotei 13 is generally just the meeting topic announced by the Captain-Commander.

Then the Death Captains below them either slacked off or remained silent.

In short, he rambled on and on, but not a single sentence was of any importance.

The Grim Reaper captains present were either cunning old foxes or seasoned veterans of the workplace, so they naturally knew what to say at what time.

If I were to speak up now, I would definitely be "entrusted with important responsibilities"!

Even if you do such hard and tiring work well, there is no promotion or raise, and you may even have to take the blame, leaving a mess in the end. So naturally, you should avoid it if you can.

"You are all the pillars of the Gotei 13! The most outstanding group of Shinigami in hundreds of years."

The reason I've gathered you all here isn't to listen to your nonsense, but to have you discuss solutions!

Seeing the Shinigami captains who were usually slacking off and silent, the old man Yamamoto, who was at the head of the table, was immediately displeased. He slammed his wooden cane on the ground, creating a huge shockwave, and a powerful spiritual pressure erupted from his body.

"Since there is a shortage of recruits in Seireitei, is it possible to appropriately lower the recruitment requirements?"

"And what if we searched for suitable souls outside of Seireitei, such as those from Rukongai, to enroll them?"

Seeing the Captain-Commander's anger, Ukitake, the strategist of the Gotei 13, hesitated for a moment before finally stepping forward to speak.

Ukitake may be portrayed as a kind-hearted person, but those who know him well know that when it comes to being ruthless, Ukitake is absolutely ruthless.

Seeing that the Captain-Commander did not object to his suggestion, Ukitake continued, "In the past, the Shinigami Academy also had many students from Rukongai."

But they entered the Seireitei by passing the tests and defeating the gatekeepers themselves.

However, only a minority of Rukongai souls possess such potential and qualities. Compared to our previous passive approach, can we take the initiative this time?

"Should we proactively send personnel to various areas of Rukongai to find souls with potential and strong spiritual pressure, and then send them to the Shinigami Academy for training?"

After some discussion, Ukitake's suggestion was approved by everyone, as it was indeed the most effective solution at the moment.

The Gotei 13 needs a large number of cannon fodder... oh no, a batch of promising new blood to become Shinigami (death gods).

For the souls in Rukongai, being able to become a Shinigami (death god)—a position with a structured system and respectable status—is the wish of most of them.

The strategy was decided, but the team leaders' meeting did not disband as a result, since who would carry out the mission next was also a matter that needed to be discussed.

Ukitake took the lead, so there's no way he can run away now that he proposed the plan. Therefore, the 13th Division will be responsible for a part of this Rukongai recruitment plan.

The captain probably felt that Ukitake had just taken the initiative to solve the problem, and it was really unfair of him to dump all the work on a sickly person.

Moreover, if we exploit Shisilang too much, what will happen if young people dare not speak up in the future?

Rukongai has 320 districts, with 80 districts each in the east, south, west, and north. This time, Ukitake's 13th Division will be responsible for the 80 districts in the south.

However, besides the southern region, there are three other regions, meaning we're still short three laborers...

"The Second Division has too many responsibilities and there are currently a large number of personnel vacancies. They simply don't have the capacity to share the burden with the Captain-Commander."

The Second Division has to perform duties as a criminal investigator, patrol, and guard the "Worm's Nest," so they have a lot on their plate. Therefore, the Captain-Commander didn't force them to do anything and instead turned his attention to the other captains present. "The Fourth Division is also very busy. The recent increase in the mortality rate means that many wounded people are being sent to the Fourth Division every day, and we are currently overwhelmed."

Upon hearing Captain Unohana's words, the other captains present visibly twitched; they knew this all too well.

If we're talking about all the captains present, the one who lives the most leisurely life is definitely Captain Unohana, who's so idle she's practically arranging flowers every day.

But they dared not say it out loud, after all, the other party was a senior figure, a formidable man from the same era as the chief captain.

If you criticize someone, what they might be putting up isn't flowers, but the Grim Reaper himself!

"Tsk, they're all weaklings. What's the point of replenishing their supplies? They'll still die anyway."

Kenpachi Zaraki seemed completely unconcerned about the number of cannon fodder.

In fact, he wouldn't care if he were the only one left in the entire Eleventh Division.

It's more in line with his wishes this way. From now on, all the prey will be his, and without anyone holding him back, he can fight with complete abandon!

Otherwise, when he was working with other team members, Kenpachi Zaraki had to carefully control his spiritual pressure in order not to affect the cannon fodder around him.

"I think it's most appropriate for Captain Zaraki to be in charge of this matter."

As is well known, the Eleventh Division, as a combat division, has the highest mortality rate, and most of the students who graduate from the Shinigami Academy join the Eleventh Division.

Furthermore, Captain Zaraki seems to be from the North 79th ward of Rukongai, and being familiar with that area, he's the best candidate for this mission.

Upon hearing Kyoraku Shunsui's strong recommendation, Kenpachi Zaraki was about to get angry, but the Captain-Commander at the head of the table immediately nodded and made the decision: "The Eleventh Division has suffered the most casualties in its history, so it is indeed necessary to take part of the responsibility for this plan."

Captain Zaraki, the 80th ward in the north of Rukongai is now in your hands.

And listen up, I'm sending you to select suitable candidates for the Grim Reaper race, not to kill people!

Since the Captain-Commander had made the decision, Kenpachi Zaraki, though unhappy, could only snort and reluctantly agree.

"Captain-Commander, I also recommend Captain Gin Ichimaru to be in charge of this plan."

As far as I know, Captain Ichimaru also hails from Rukongai and is an extremely rare genius. Moreover, he has only recently become a Shinigami captain, so this incident will be a good opportunity for him to hone his skills.

After selling Kenpachi Zaraki, Shunsui Kyoraku quickly recommended Gin Ichimaru, who had recently become the captain of the Third Division.

No wonder Kyoraku Shunsui had been slacking off before, but is now working so hard. If he doesn't find some scapegoats, given the old man's nature, he will definitely get a share of the work in the end!

Now, three of the four districts of Rukongai have been taken charge of, so only the last district remains.

Kyoraku Shunsui glanced around and realized that the remaining guys were either people he couldn't afford to offend, or simply not suitable for him, and he couldn't even find an excuse to offend them.

Kyoraku Shunsui was hesitating between shifting the blame to the rookie captain Kuchiki Byakuya or Aizen, whose presence in the Fifth Division was extremely low, when the Captain-Commander suddenly spoke up.
