XX-level Hokage

Eighth Division (Intelligence Squad): Responsible for gathering intelligence, tracking the movements of the 80th district of Rukongai, and the movements of other divisions. Ninth Division (Prison Squad): Responsible for guarding the Seireitei and compiling and distributing Seireitei communications.

The 10th Division (Patrol Guard): Responsible for maintaining order within the Seireitei, handling emergencies, and issuing emergency information.

Eleventh Division (Combat-Specific Unit): A dedicated combat unit responsible for frontline attacks, representing the most elite professional combat team in Soul Society.

Squad 12 (Technology Development Bureau): Responsible for adjusting spiritual waves, monitoring the average spiritual pressure in the present world, and developing new high-tech products.

Squad 13 (Purification Squad): A squad that specializes in sending members to the human world to carry out soul burial and purify Hollows. Most members are sent to the human world to perform duties and fight Hollows for many years.

After assigning the new duties to the 13th Division, Yamamoto began discussing the new captain with Tamago no Hana.

"Sihouin Sennatsu is dead, so let's stick to his previous arrangements. The captain of the Second Division will still be someone from the Sihouin clan."

The same applies to the Sixth Division. Captain Saito, who is immortal, and Vice-Captain Mashiro, are both missing. So, as agreed during the negotiations with the four noble families, we will select candidates from the Kuchiki family.

The same applies to the 8th Division. Since Shikatori Hakuryuu is missing, let's choose one of her team members to be the captain. As for the 11th Division, Unohana, you will continue to be Kenpachi.

As for the other divisions, they will be selected from the Shinigami who have learned the secrets of Soul Reaper, according to the rules.

The only thing that bothers me is the Fourth Division. After Shimura Chigiri's death, it's really hard for Soul Society to find such an excellent medical Shinigami again. You know, there are already very few healing Zanpakuto.

In the Captain-Commander's office, Yamamoto Shigekuni was leisurely discussing something with Unohana.

Just then, Unohana suddenly put down her teacup, and her previously cold and even somewhat strained face softened considerably.

“I’ll take charge of the Fourth Division,” Unohana suddenly said softly. “Hmm?”

Yamamoto looked up at Unohana. Even he was a little puzzled by Unohana's words. He knew very well what Unohana Yachiru was like. She was someone who believed that "fighting is everything." The title "Kenpachi" was born because of her.

"Don't forget, my Flesh Release ability is also a healing type, and I also learned some healing techniques from Kirinji Tenjiro," Unohana said calmly.

"You've suddenly changed your personality. Is it because of the war?" Yamamoto asked. "Who knows?" Unohana replied.

“Not for now. The Eleventh Division can’t find anyone more suitable than you right now. Let’s wait a while longer,” Yamamoto said.

"Yes." Unohana didn't insist either. Time flew by.

Time seems to have no meaning for the Grim Reaper. In the blink of an eye, two years have passed in the Soul World.

Countless events have occurred in the world of Tokhun over the past two thousand years, and these events together have formed a new history for the world of Tokhun. In this new history, many things have begun to change.

First, there was the decline in the status of the four noble families and the consolidation of the ruling position of the Thirteen Guards of the Imperial Household.

The four noble families are the four oldest families in Soul Society. They are closely related to the royal family and are also relatives of each other. Generation after generation, they have produced people with extraordinary spiritual power or outstanding abilities. They receive elite education and hold important positions in the Gotei 13 and other organizations. They are responsible for protecting the main house and have the obligation to set an example for the people of Soul Society. However, in recent times, the members have either been exiled by Soul Society or have no children.

The Kuchiki family, the Shihōin family (known as the "Heavenly Armored Guard"), the Tsunayo family (who manages the Great Spirit Book Corridor), and the Shiba family were all eliminated, but the Shiba family has now been eliminated due to its weakened state.

The Kuchiki family has the closest ties to the royal family and the greatest power. Its members are the most respected among all nobles, and they have numerous servants. They are the model for all Shinigami (death gods), and their duty is to uphold and enforce the rules of the Tokonkai (world of souls).

The family line has now passed to its twenty-eighth generation, and its most outstanding successor in history—Byakuya Kuchiki. Byakuya is also the captain of the 6th Division of the Gotei 13. However, Byakuya and his deceased wife, Lady Pai, had no children. The only other known direct descendant is Rukia Kuchiki, who is not related to the Kuchiki family by blood.

The Shihōin family is known as the "Heaven-Sent Armored Division," possessing numerous divine weapons. The current head of the family is the twenty-third head, Shihōin Yūshirō. Since the defection of the former head of the family, who was also the captain of the 2nd Division of the Gotei 13, Shihōin Yoruichi, the Shihōin family has become more low-key.

The Tsunayo family is responsible for managing the Great Spirit Book Corridor. They are a family that knows all the history and information of Soul Society and have an inseparable relationship with the Soul King and the 46 Chambers. The current head of the family is named Tsunayo Tokinada, but for some reason, the Tsunayo family does not hold an important position in the Gotei 13.

Of the four noble families, the Kuchiki family has few members, the Shihōin family's reputation has been damaged, the Tsuna-Yayo family is far from the core of power, and the Shiba family has been removed from the list.

It can be said that the Soul Society is now completely free from the control of the four great noble families. On the other hand, the Gotei 13 is developing with remarkable stability.

In addition to the development of the Gotei 13, the Shinigami Academy, which complements the Gotei 13, was also established.

The Gotei 13 is an educational institution established a thousand years ago by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the captain-commander of the Gotei 13, to train future Kido (demons), Onmitsukido (the secret service), and Gotei 13.

The courses range from training in "slaying fists and walking ghosts" to practical training in soul burial in the real world.

Although the course lasts six years, outstanding students can skip grades and graduate in a shorter time. The doors are always open; even those from Rukongai can enroll as long as they pass the entrance exam. In fact, almost all Shinigami from Rukongai are graduates of the academy.

Therefore, the Gotei 13 comprises almost all naturally born Shinigami in the Soul Society. Currently, the captains of the Gotei 13 are all exceptionally skilled Shinigami.

The captain of the First Division, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, also serves as the director of the Shinigami Academy.

Soi Fon, the captain of the 2nd Division, also serves as the commander of the "Execution Army," the captain of the 1st Division, the commander-in-chief of the Onmitsukido, and a director of the Women's Shinigami Association.

Gin Ichimaru, the captain of the Third Division, possesses superhuman talent. He graduated from the Shinigami Academy in just one year and joined the Gotei 13, earning him the reputation of a child prodigy.

Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division, is also one of the four captains who have served the longest.

Captain Aizen Sousuke of the Fifth Division is a direct member of the Central 46 and was assigned by the Central 46 to teach at the Shinigami Academy for a period of time.

Byakuya Kuchiki, the captain of the 6th Division, is the 28th head of the Kuchiki family, one of the four great noble families.

Chapter 40: The Beginning of the Plot

The Seventh Division's member, Sajin Katsura, is a non-human soul transformed into a Shinigami (death god).

Kyoraku Shunsui, the captain of the 8th Division, was the first graduate of the Shinigami Academy to become a captain. He and Ukitake Jushiro were both beloved students of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, and he was also one of the four captains who served the longest.

Captain of the Ninth Division, Tosen Kaname.

Toshiro Hitsugaya, the captain of the 10th Division, is currently the captain of the 10th Division of the Gotei 13 in Soul Society. He is also the youngest of the current captains and is known as a "genius boy".

Kenpachi Zaraki, the eleventh captain of the 11th Division, is also the first captain in Soul Society who doesn't know how to use "Release." Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the 12th Division captain, also serves as the second director of the Technology Development Bureau.

Captain Jushiro Ukitake of the 13th Division is a disciple of Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, and one of the first two students to become captains since Captain-Commander Yamamoto founded the Shinigami Academy.

In the tranquil and exotic town of Karakura, lives a group of seemingly ordinary residents, each harboring their own secrets.

Among them, Mochizuki Mashiro, a girl with smooth silver hair and emerald green hair, is a classmate of Kurosaki Ichigo and Namikaze Orihime.

Mashiro is cheerful and outgoing, and has a keen eye for people. She is especially close to the gentle and kind Orihime, and the two are often inseparable, sharing every moment of their school life.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling the school playground. Students gathered in small groups, enjoying their leisurely afternoon. Mashiro and Orihime sat under the shade of a tree, eating and chatting while holding ice cream they had just bought from the convenience store.

"Orihime, you look a little different today," Mashiro teased, her eyes wide. "Is it because of Kurosaki-kun?"

Orihime's cheeks flushed instantly, and she gently nudged Mashiro: "Mashiro, don't talk nonsense. We're just good friends."

Mashiro smiled without saying a word. She knew Orihime's feelings for Ichigo Kurosaki, but she was too shy to admit it. She continued to tease Orihime until the latter was so embarrassed that she almost hid in a book before she let her go.

After school, the two walked side by side on their way home, discussing the evening's TV programs and the latest trends.

Mashiro suggested going shopping, and Orihime readily agreed. So the two of them entered the bustling shopping street and began their shopping trip.

The streets were bustling with people, and the shops were filled with all sorts of goods. Mashiro and Orihime strolled through the crowd, stopping occasionally to try on new clothes or sample delicious food. The two laughed and enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation.

"Orihime, what do you think of this dress?" Mashiro picked up a pink dress and held it up against Orihime.

Orihime looked at herself in the mirror and a shy smile appeared on her face: "It's not bad, it's just... a little too cute." "What's wrong with being cute? You look like a little princess in this~" Mashiro encouraged.

In the end, Orihime bought the dress, and Mashiro also picked out a few accessories she liked. The two returned home laden with purchases, promising to go shopping again next time.

Walking home, a system panel appeared before Mashiro's eyes. [Name: Inoue Orihime]

Gender: Female; Zanpakuto: None

Special Ability: Shield Shun Six Flowers (Rejection of All Things)

Identity: Fullbringer Available Path: Lover Affection Level: 83

好感度：10（初始点+1）（已获得）好感度：50（初始点十3）（已获得）好感度：90（初始点十5）」

The materialization of soul power hidden within the six-petaled light blue pair of hair clips that Orihime always wears; the names of the Rikka members are all related to flowers.

They are responsible for attack, healing, and defense skills respectively, and are occasionally used by Orihime to search for other targets.

Three-Day Shield Formation - Fireless Chrysanthemum, Plum Blossom, Lily (Defensive Move) Defense Technique: Rejects attacks "outside the shield." Fireless Chrysanthemum, Plum Blossom, and Lily return to their positions.

The vertex of the inverted triangle is then used to open an orange-yellow triangular shield to defend against attacks, but it is only effective against overly powerful attacks and will shatter after a single defense.

Double Shield Return - Shunlou, Xiaoyu (Healing Technique) Repair Technique: Rejects all adverse effects "within the shield". An orange-yellow barrier is opened between Shunlou and Pu to surround the object to be protected. The protected object inside the shield can heal wounds, regenerate severed limbs, and release the controlled state.

Lone Sky Shield Slash - Tsubaki Oni (Attack Technique): Rejecting the "material combination" between the "inside and outside" of the shield, the Tsubaki Oni transforms into an orange-yellow flying blade, slicing and separating material objects. Regardless of whether the attack succeeds or fails, it vanishes into thin air and reappears on the hairpin.

"It's almost here, almost here, the true story of this world." Mashiro muttered to herself. Night fell, and Karakura Town gradually quieted down.

A bright moon hangs in the sky, casting a soft, silvery glow.

The moonlight was like water, and the wine was on the trees on both sides of the street, with dappled light and shadows filtering through the leaves.

Occasionally, a few cars would drive by the street corner, stirring up a gentle breeze that rustled the leaves around the town, making the whole town seem to fall into tranquility and peace. However, this peace was only on the surface.

Behind this tranquility lies an unknown power.

Kurosaki Ichigo, an ordinary high school student, was standing in front of his room window, gazing at the night view outside with a dreamy look in his eyes.

Although his surroundings appeared calm and undisturbed, his heart was in turmoil. A few days ago, he encountered something strange—he could see...

He was surrounded by ghosts. Those invisible spirits lined up around him, seemingly having some mysterious connection with him.

What troubled him most was that he discovered he could sense their presence, while his family—especially his sisters—were completely unaware. "Why can I see them?" Ichigo muttered to himself, his heart filled with doubt and unease.

He had never believed in the supernatural, but these events forced him to start questioning his former beliefs.

The night always made him uneasy, especially when these ghosts appeared around him; he always felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

Just as Ichigo Kurosaki was lost in heavy thoughts, a sudden gust of cold wind blew by, and the air outside the window seemed to change. The curtains by the window swayed gently, and the light in the room flickered slightly at that moment.

Ichigo turned around abruptly and was startled to see a girl dressed in strange clothes standing in the doorway. Her hair shone like silver threads, and her eyes revealed an unusual calmness and majesty.

"Who are you?" Ichigo asked instinctively, his tone filled with alertness. He immediately realized that this girl was unusual, even carrying a strong sense of unfamiliarity.

The girl didn't answer, but calmly looked at him and slowly walked into the room.

Every step she took was composed and resolute. "I am Rukia Kuchiki, the Substitute Shinigami." Her voice, like a cold blade, cut into Ichigo's ears.

"A Shinigami?" Ichigo's eyes widened slightly, clearly unable to understand her words. "You said you're a Shinigami? What are you talking about?"

Rukia offered no further explanation, but suddenly turned around, drawing a cold, gleaming sword from behind her back, its blade seemingly shimmering in the moonlight. "You don't understand now, but you will soon. I'm here to protect this world."

Chapter 41: A Thousand Years Later

"Protect the world?" Ichigo was even more confused. "What are you talking about?"

Rukia ignored his questions and said coldly, "I'm here to destroy the Hollows." Her words were serious and resolute.

"Hollows are humanoid monsters that invade from the spirit world. They devour souls and harm humanity. As a Shinigami (death god), my duty is to eliminate them and protect innocent souls."

Ichigo was stunned, still unable to understand her words.

"Void? Devouring souls?" he muttered to himself, still unable to accept the scene before him.

Just then, Rukia suddenly flung open the curtains, her gaze sweeping rapidly across the street. "It's here," she whispered.

Following Rukia's gaze, Ichigo looked in the direction she was looking and saw a huge phantom appear in the darkness of the distance on the street.

It was a humanoid monster resembling a unicorn, enormous in size, with sharp fangs protruding from its mouth, and empty, hostile eyes. Its arrival seemed to freeze the surrounding air, filling it with an intense killing intent.

“Those are Hollows!” Rukia’s tone grew increasingly cold. “They don’t belong to this world; they are malignant products of the Spirit World.” As the Hollow drew closer, Rukia swiftly drew her Zanpakuto and charged forward with an aura of fearlessness.
