Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

While the two on the sidelines were chatting, the two on the court suddenly sprang into action.

"Shinjuku, please forgive me this time, for the sake of our long-standing friendship!"

"Last time was purely accidental, absolutely not intentional!"

"Please, be magnanimous and let me off the hook, okay?"

As Kisuke Urahara pleaded, he made faces and winked, his already somewhat comical face contorting into a deep frown, making him look like a bitter gourd.

Behind him was a huge woman with long hair styled in a classical bun, wearing a sleeveless kimono, and with puppet-like limb joints.

She is Kisuke Urahara's Bankai - Kannon Kai Benihime Kai!

Strangely enough, despite the fierce attack in the laboratory, Aozaki Mayuki was completely unharmed. The incredibly powerful explosion, comparable to a Cero, seemed to have no effect on him.

What kind of monster has this guy turned into?

On the contrary, Kisuke Urahara's laboratory suffered the most damage, being smashed to pieces and completely destroyed, and was declared unusable after inspection.

“You wish! How could someone as smart as you make such a basic mistake?” Aozaki Mayuki asked. “Even if you did make a mistake, couldn’t you have given me a protective suit beforehand for such a dangerous experiment?”

"Didn't you say you didn't need it?" Kisuke Urahara said helplessly.

This guy clearly relies on his own defense being stronger than the protective suit, and he never wears a protective suit when conducting experiments, so why is he being blamed now?

Is there no justice left?!

"This……"

Aozaki Mayuki was taken aback, then revealed a fierce expression, knowing she was in the wrong, she simply started to argue unreasonably.

"You audacious Urahara Kisuke, what a sharp tongue you have! You still dare to argue? Prepare to die!"

Aozaki Mayuki's figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of Urahara Kisuke.

"Don't hit me in the face!"

Knowing Aozaki Mayuki's moves, Urahara Kisuke raised his hands to protect his face, but Aozaki Mayuki was faster and punched Urahara Kisuke in the face.

…………

Ten minutes later.

Kisuke Urahara collapsed to the ground, touching his cheeks which were swollen like steamed buns, inwardly groaning in despair.

"Does that feel better now?"

He said to the person in front of him in an annoyed tone.

"It's barely acceptable!" Aozaki Mayuki shook her head slightly, seemingly not particularly satisfied.

Upon hearing this, Kisuke Urahara immediately protested, his face contorted with grief as he shouted:

"Barely enough? I got beaten black and blue, much worse injured than you!"

Aozaki Mayuki patted his chest and said confidently:

"Don't worry, I'm a disciple of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, so I know how to handle things. The injury on your face looks scary, but it's actually nothing serious."

"Hmm..." Kisuke Urahara stared at him with a skeptical look in his eyes, but couldn't help but wonder: Is it true or not?

But what's done is done, and further complaining is useless. So he sighed deeply, stood up, dusted himself off, and said:

"Now that you've calmed down, it's getting late, so let's hurry up and attend the team leader meeting."

"and many more."

Just as Kisuke Urahara turned to leave, Mayuki Aozaki suddenly called out to him.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Kisuke Urahara turned around and asked, puzzled.

"Kisuke, please prepare a few Transcendental Bodies for me!" Aozaki Mayuki calmly stated her request.

"Who is it for?" Kisuke Urahara frowned as he looked at him, quite puzzled.

He clearly remembered that Aozaki Mayuki learned Bankai without using the Transcendental Body, so logically speaking, he shouldn't need the Transcendental Body now.

Chapter 163 Releasing People

The Seireitei, inside the First Division barracks, was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

"With the joint witness of myself, Captain Aozaki Mayuki, and Captain Shihouin Yoruichi, it is officially confirmed that Kisuke Urahara, the former Third Seat of the 12th Division, has successfully mastered the Bankai technique and passed the captain's test with Captain Shiba Isshin as the examiner."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slowly stood up, his cane striking the ground heavily with a dull thud that seemed to shake the entire room.

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely tense, and everyone held their breath and dared not relax in the slightest.

Feeling the intense gaze, the moment Aozaki Mayuki's eyes met those of Aizen Sousuke, the captain of the Third Division, she suddenly felt as if she were being drawn in by an irresistible and powerful force, becoming deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate herself.

It was a very aggressive look in his eyes.

However, at this moment, Aozaki Mayuki was no longer as afraid of Aizen as before. As his own strength continued to rise, his confidence grew stronger.

If we were to actually fight them, although we would lose more often than we would win, at least we wouldn't be defeated too badly.

After all, it is well known that Aizen Sousuke has an exceptionally high IQ, but his direct combat ability is actually not that strong.

Although Aozaki Mayuki's spiritual pressure is inferior to his, he is not afraid of the opponent's Kyoka Suigetsu, and his output capability is explosive.

Nowadays, I'm confident I can destroy half of Seireitei, if not the world.

Aozaki Mayuki composed herself, looked up at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni standing in front of the crowd, and thought to herself:

"Only the old man and his cane can give me a sense of security, a sense of security that my two senior brothers and Sister Hua can't give me!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked around and said in his steady yet loud voice:

"Effective immediately, Kisuke Urahara will assume the position of captain of the 12th Division. The letter of appointment will be sent to the 12th Division barracks."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Then, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni spoke again: "That's all."

With that, the brief meeting came to an end. The team leaders rose and left the meeting room one after another.

However, Aozaki Mayuki did not leave his seat, because he knew that there were still things waiting for him to do.

As expected, after the other captains had all left, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni turned around and his gaze fell on Aozaki Mazuki.

"Aozaki Mayuki, you stay," Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said calmly.

Aozaki Mayuki sighed helplessly, but still obediently stood up and walked to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

The two then went to the training ground of the first team.

"Old man, I really can't go on anymore, let's take a break." Aozaki Mayuki said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"It's only been a few seconds, and you've already learned the move? You're already thinking about resting!"

Yamamoto said irritably, as the katana in his hand, which appeared to have been charred black by the flames, returned to its normal katana form.

"Nonsense! Don't you know the difference in spiritual pressure between us, old man?"

"At such close range, and since it's not my Zanpakuto, I'd probably be roasted alive in a few minutes!"

"Besides, you know my talent. I've seen such a simple move so many times, and you've explained it so clearly. I can just practice more on my own."

Aozaki Mayuki rolled her eyes without any attempt to hide it, and said arrogantly, which undoubtedly earned her a punch from Yamamoto.

This old man is underestimating himself!

The so-called four major moves of the Zanka no Tachi are, in essence, nothing more than the clever application of the Zanka no Tachi's abilities.

This little trick was a piece of cake for him... the Ryujin Jakka in his heart; he grasped its secrets after only observing it a few times.

"Old man, I have something to tell you."

Seeing that the old man had calmed down, Aozaki Mayuki hurriedly scratched her long, smooth hair while waving her hand and saying with a grin.

Yamamoto leisurely took a sip of tea, then responded in a low voice, "Oh? What are you trying to say now?"

"Hehehe, I plan to release someone from the 'Maggot Nest' and have him join our Twelfth Division. I've already discussed this with Kisuke."

Aozaki Mayuki's face was beaming with a smug smile.

During his tenure as the third seat of the second division, the Maggot Nest was completely destroyed in a battle between him and Kenpachi Onigenjo.

It was just a prison, nothing to the wealthy nobles. The Central Bureau of 46 gave an order and the reconstruction was completed in just one month.

"Release them?" Yamamoto frowned.

That place is full of vicious criminals. If they were released rashly, it would likely cause serious chaos and turmoil in Seireitei.

After all, these detainees were identified as potentially dangerous individuals based on the existing rules and regulations of the Seireitei.

Releasing it will be somewhat troublesome; we must obtain the consent of the Central 46th Bureau.

Yamamoto suddenly snorted and said, "What 'our 12th Division'! It sounds like you're a member of the 12th Division too."

Aozaki Mayuki, however, didn't seem to care, and instead argued vehemently:

"Am I a special consultant for the Technology Development Bureau? In that case, aren't I one of the Twelfth Division?"

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto frowned and retorted irritably, "Hmph! In my opinion, you and Hikifune Kiryu are more like family!"

After saying that, Yamamoto closed his eyes rather impatiently, but the image of Hikifune Kiryu "flying up to the heavens and ascending to the Spirit King's Palace" involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Just seven days ago was the day that Yizhou Tongsheng "ascended" to the Spirit King Palace.

No one could have predicted what this hothead had done that made Kiryuki kiss him in front of everyone before leaving, saying things like "wait for him at the Spirit King Palace."

Upon witnessing this scene, all the team leaders were excited, jumping up and down like a group of monkeys on stimulants.

Even the usually composed and self-possessed Xiumu Yinling was not spared. For the first time ever, he lost his usual composure and was dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time. One can imagine how much this incident affected the team leaders.

That's a royal spy!

Everyone had to admire the young captain's audacity; he dared to provoke even royal agents.

Moreover, he may have offended more than one person, because Shutara Senjumaru kept glancing back at this rare clothes hanger when he left.

Yamamoto appeared calm at the time, but his mind was in turmoil. He didn't say anything.

After all, it's not a bad thing to be able to get along well with Squad Zero.

Squad Zero, including Kiryu Hikifune, has only five members, yet their strength surpasses that of the entire Gotei 13.
