Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 341 The New Thirteenth Squad and Special Orders

That last sentence finally struck a chord with Kyoraku Shunsui.

He seemed to see again that old, stern-faced figure who always scolded him for being lazy, yet stood like a mountain in front of everyone at crucial moments.

Yes, Old Man Shan is gone.

With responsibility at stake, if even he backs down, then who will protect Grandpa Shan's home?

Kyoraku Shunsui sighed, slowly removing the straw hat he had worn for a hundred years, revealing his deep eyes.

He casually placed his straw hat on the ground, straightened his floral haori, and then bowed deeply to Hikifune Kiryu.

....I see."

Kyoraku Shunsui's voice is no longer languid, but carries a calm attitude as if he is about to shoulder the weight of the entire world.

"I am Kyoraku Shunsui, and I will obey your orders. I will guard Seireitei for you until Captain-Commander Yamamoto returns."

Seeing that Kyoraku Shunsui was finally getting serious, Hikifune Kiryu's expression softened.

"Very good. Considering that you are new to this important task and there are still many troublesome matters to deal with the nobles."

"During the next period of time, I will remain in the Spirit Court to assist you with team affairs and the transition of power," Denshu Kiryu said. "Go ahead and do it. With me backing you up, even if some nobles want to take advantage of the situation, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Thank you, Kiryu-senpai." Kyoraku Shunsui nodded with a wry smile.

He knew that his carefree, hermit-like life was finally coming to an end.

Having resolved the most important personnel appointments, Denshu Kiryu once again unrolled the scroll.

"Next is the second imperial edict."

She turned her gaze to Shinji Hirako and the others standing to the side, as well as Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihouin behind them.

"The Hollowfication incident of that year was investigated by the Soul King Palace and found to be a conspiracy orchestrated by Aizen Sousuke."

"Hirako Shinji, Ootori Rōjūrō, Rokushō Kensei, and others, as well as Urahara Kisuke and Shihōin Yoruichi, were all victims and those who were framed."

"As for the risk of becoming ethereal, we have already confirmed it." She glanced meaningfully at Hirako Shinji and chuckled, "They have perfectly controlled the changes within their bodies, so please don't worry."

Upon hearing this, a slight commotion arose again in the hall.

Although everyone is already aware of the truth of what happened back then, the significance of the decision to exonerate them was still quite different when it was officially announced by Squad Zero.

Soi Fon bit her lip tightly, her gaze complex as she looked at Yoruichi's retreating figure.

She was once filled with incomprehension at Yoruichi's betrayal, and even more so with anger and resentment at Yoruichi for abandoning her.

But now that the truth has come out, she doesn't know how to face this person she once believed in.

"In the name of the Spirit King," Kiryuu proclaimed loudly, "Immediately pardon all the crimes committed by those involved in the Hollowfication incident and restore their reputations."

"At the same time, given the current weakness of the Gotei 13, I would like to solicit your opinions."

She looked at Hirako Shinji: "The three of you, are you willing to don the captain's haori again and resume your positions as captains of the 5th, 3rd, and 9th Divisions?"

Kensei Muguruma crossed his arms and snorted coldly: ".....Tch, fine, considering how miserable the Soul Society is right now, I'll reluctantly come back to help."

"Those bastards in the Ninth Division, they've all been brainwashed by that guy Tosen all these years, I need to give them a good talking-to."

Rojuro Touhou elegantly tossed his golden wavy hair: "Although wearing the Shinigami uniform again slightly ruins my artistic sense, it is, after all, the arrangement of this symphony of fate... I accept it."

Shinji Hirako stroked his chin and glanced at the empty ranks of the Fifth Division captains.

That was the place that once belonged to me.

"It's time for me to take back what that bastard stole from me back then."

"I accept the position of captain of the Fifth Division."

"Very good." Kiryu Denshu nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihouin.

"What about you two? Can you return to the 12th and 2nd Divisions? Or if you'd like to go to another division, we can discuss it."

.

"The Seireitei now desperately needs your wisdom and strength."

However, when faced with this olive branch offered to him, Kisuke Urahara simply covered half of his face with his folding fan and let out a soft laugh.

"Oh dear, we appreciate Kiryu-senpai's kindness, but..."

Kisuke Urahara glanced at Yoruichi beside him, and the two exchanged a knowing look.

Yoruichi stepped forward, hands on her hips, her posture as carefree as a wildcat in the forest.

"Just like I told Chunshui before, we came back this time only to support these poor guys and clear our names."

"As for going back to work, clocking in and out as a team leader..."

""

She waved her hands repeatedly, looking disgusted: "Spare me~ I'm used to living a free and easy life in the mortal world, I can't stand all this formality in Seireitei."

"It's good that Soi Fon is in charge of the Second Division now; there's no need for an old woman like me to interfere."

Upon hearing this, Soi Fon, who was standing in the crowd, blushed and quickly turned her head away.

Kisuke Urahara chimed in, "Yeah, my general store may be run-down, but at least I'm the boss and don't have to put up with other people's attitudes."

"Besides, there are still many interesting shows waiting for me to watch in the real world. The 12th Division is now managed by Chief Kurotsuchi, isn't it quite lively?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi let out a sinister snort, clearly unimpressed by Kisuke Urahara's praise.

"However, please rest assured." Urahara Kisuke closed his folding fan, his expression turning serious. "Although we don't intend to return to the established order, if there are any actions targeting Aizen, or if the Soul Society faces a crisis..."

"9

"As allies of justice, we will never stand idly by. We will secretly and fully support the Gotei 13."

Seeing the two's resolute attitude, Kiryu knew that he couldn't force them, so he sighed.

"Alright... everyone has their own ambitions. As long as your hearts are still with Soul Society, it doesn't matter where you are."

After dealing with the issues of these old acquaintances.

Denshu Kiryu finally shifted his gaze from the center of the hall to the incongruous black-haired youth.

Birds.

The atmosphere in the council hall became subtle once again.

How to deal with the birds is indeed a thorny issue facing the Soul Court at present.

He possesses combat power far exceeding that of an ordinary captain, and acts without any scruples, seemingly disregarding the rules of Soul Society.

What's even more troublesome is...

His power does not originate from the Spirit Court, and no one can explain his background.

Forcibly detaining them might trigger a brutal bloodbath.

However, if left unchecked, such an unstable factor with powerful death-dealing abilities would be like a bomb that could explode at any moment.

Therefore, whether it's the seasoned veteran Shunsui or the younger generation like Soi Fon and Byakuya.

These past few days, we've all tacitly refrained from causing trouble for Feibiao, wanting to see what arrangements the Spirit King Palace would make.

"The third thing."

Kiryu looked at the birds, a smile on his chubby face.

"It's about you, Asuka from Rukongai."

Has it finally arrived?

Upon hearing his name called, Asuka breathed a sigh of relief.

This boring meeting is finally over...

"What advice do you have?" he asked casually.
