Infinite: Start as a ghost

His spirit remains, which were already 90% complete, became useless.

A week is not enough time for everyone to fully recover, but it is enough for them to regain their strength.

The captains' meeting has begun once again.

Yamamoto glanced briefly at the people present, his brows furrowed deeply.

Was this battle really that brutal?

On the Masked side, they lost Aikawa Rao and Mukkaru Kensei.

Soul Society lost Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Ginnori Kuchiki, one of the four noble families.

Asido has not yet regained consciousness.

The sparrow has woken up, but is unable to get out of bed for the time being.

Ryosuke Kanai's soul sleep and soul bond were destroyed, making it impossible for him to become a Grim Reaper again.

Soi Fon and herself both lost an arm.

After the battle of Ukitake, the breath he had been holding in was released, and his old injuries immediately flared up.

After the battle with Yanlong, Mochi City Shuang also disappeared without a trace.

After Aizen's death, the spiritual particles absorbed by his body were returned to Soul Society, but the buildings in Soul Society could not be restored and could only be rebuilt over time.

Currently, there are vacancies for captains in the 3rd, 5th, 9th, 10th, and 12th Divisions.

"What are your thoughts on this battle?" Yamamoto asked, sitting in the captain's seat.

Kuchiki Byakuya remained silent, but his eyes revealed a sorrowful expression.

He was the only direct blood relative left in the Kuchiki family.

Moreover, he and Hisana had no children, and he had no intention of marrying another woman. After his death, the real Kuchiki family would cease to exist.

"Let's call Mako and Urahara back. There are too many vacancies for the captain's position, old man Yama," Jing Le suggested.

"That's exactly what I'm thinking. What do the other captains think?" Yamamoto asked.

Apart from Kenpachi Zaraki, who seemed indifferent, no one objected.

“Very well, since no one has any objections, then I shall give the order.” Yamamoto tapped his cane: “The Captain-Commander orders that Hirako Shinji, Ichimaru Gin, Urahara Kisuke, and Ootori Ryujuro be forcibly brought back to Seireitei.”

"As for the others... let them be."

"Are only these four people mandatory?" Kyoraku Shunsui chuckled. "Old man Yama, do you want them to fill the vacancies?"

“That’s right, no objections allowed,” Yamamoto said.

Kyoraku Shunsui asked, "If that's the case, what about the vacancy in the Tenth Division?"

“Let Asido lead the team,” Yamamoto said. “Once he recovers, appoint him as the captain of the 10th Division.”

"Is that so?" Jing Le asked. "But if that's the case, who will replace Jin Jing?"

"Shihōin...Yoruichi." Yamamoto sighed, "This girl is naturally lively and is indeed not suitable for the position of guard, but we are currently short-handed, so let's make do with her for the time being."

"Also, the Kido faction is short-handed. Let Tessai and Hachigen return as well," Yamamoto sighed. "The Soul Society is currently facing its weakest situation in history."

"Report..." At this moment, a Shinigami walked in through the door, came to the middle of the group, and knelt on one knee: "Reporting to the Captain-Commander, Shiba Kukaku requests an audience."

"The Shiba family's little girl?" Yamamoto was slightly surprised. "Let her in."

"Yes," Death replied respectfully and immediately left the hall.

Shortly after, Shiba Kukaku arrived at the main hall with her younger brother and two servants.

"You brats from the Shiba family, what brings you here?" Yamamoto asked.

Shiba Kukaku said, "Please hand over the position of captain of the Royal Guard to me."

Everyone stared at her in surprise, wondering what had caused her to change her personality.

"What is this...?" Yamamoto asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Don’t misunderstand,” Shiba Kukaku said. “I want to join the Royal Guard not just to protect those nobles, but to keep an eye on them and prevent them from causing trouble.”

Yamamoto was silent for a moment, then said, "Young lady, you have been stripped of your noble status, and it will be difficult for you to reintegrate into their circle now."

"I understand your thoughts, but I cannot make any promises to you."

Shiba Kukaku said, "If not, the nobles may face annihilation once again."

"Kenpachi Momoshiro and Enryu Ryudoji, these two are also formidable opponents."

"And there's that Shinigami named Ichinose, whose background I don't know. He also has captain-level strength."

"With Kenpachi Azajo, whom you cannot kill, plus two captain-level opponents, I'm afraid the Soul Society will not be able to withstand it so easily now."

Everyone fell silent...

Soul Society has suffered repeated blows recently and really doesn't want to make enemies again.

Putting aside Kenpachi Mochi, no one present harbored any hostility towards him. In fact, many people still felt guilty towards Yanlong.

With this help, if the two become enemies again, they will find it difficult to face each other.

It's not a matter of physical strength that's difficult to overcome, but rather a matter of mentality.

"Report..." Just then, another Shinigami came to report: "Several section chiefs from the 12th Division have something to report."

“Let them in,” Yamamoto said.

Akin, along with Tsubofu Rin, Bukshu, and Saie, arrived at the main conference hall and all knelt on one knee.

"Reporting to the Captain-Commander, we suspect there may be more to Captain Hitsugaya's death than meets the eye."

Chapter 215 The Post-War Era (Part 3)

Everyone was surprised by these words.

Jing Le's eyes lit up; he knew that the matter was not so simple.

"Do you... know what you're saying?" Yamamoto said seriously, "You can't just say things like that."

"No...no." Ajin said under immense pressure, "I wonder if the Captain knows that our Technology Development Bureau has a technician specifically responsible for monitoring the boundary."

“I know there’s a person in charge of this, but I don’t know who it is,” Yamamoto said.

“His name is Inaba Kagerousa,” Akin stammered. “He is the technician who is specifically responsible for monitoring the Dangai, and he is also one of our section chiefs.”

Yamamoto put away his imposing manner: "Little kid, continue."

“After the war, he disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown,” Ajin continued. “But before he disappeared, he said something.”

"The other party did not come from the Soul Society through the Severing Boundary, but from the Royal Seal."

Yamamoto jumped up from his seat: "What did you say?"

Jingle suddenly said, "Grandpa, do you still remember that young man who disappeared in the battle?"

Yamamoto glanced at Jing Le and said, "You mean, that young man who doesn't know anyone but helped us fight Aizen?"

“Yes,” Jing Le said. “According to the Masked Legion, Kensei was killed when everyone was focused on protecting the barrier.”

"After thinking it over, the only person who could have done that is that young man from back then, right?"

"From a timing perspective, isn't it a bit too much of a coincidence that Kensei died right after he left?"

Everyone fell silent.

Unohana asked, "So, what is this person's purpose?"

"That young man, Ishida Uryu, also said that his father, Ishida Ryugen, had his spiritual power drained."

"What is the connection between Aizen, Kensei, and Ishida Ryugen?"

Kuchiki Byakuya said, "Moreover, this person seems to have known all along that Aizen had the Hogyoku inside him, and seized the moment when we defeated Aizen to make his move."

Yamamoto sighed, "Soul Society barely survived the final battle with Hueco Mundo, and now they have to face unknown enemies and the potential threat of Kenpachi Azajo?"

Komamura Sajin came to Yamamoto's side with heartache and silently supported him.

“I have an idea, old man,” Kyoraku Shunsui said. “Listen to it.”

Yamamoto waved wearily, signaling him to continue.

"How about this," Jingle said, "we'll proceed in three steps."

"First, integrate the forces of Soul Society and the human world as quickly as possible."

This essentially means quickly bringing together the Visoreds and Kisuke Urahara.

"Second, avoid conflict with Kenpachi Momoshiro."

"They are also in a period of weakness. Regardless of their attitude towards Soul Society in the future, at least for them, this is just the beginning."

"Third, make Shiba Isshin, the former captain of the 10th Division, accept orders and monitor every move in the real world with him as the core."

"The most important purpose of monitoring the present world is to find out the identity of that stranger."

Jingle thought and thought: "I think that person is very likely the teacher who taught Kurosaki Ichigo the breathing technique."

"If you have time, invite Ichigo Kurosaki over and ask him about the specifics."

"Hmm..." Yamamoto lowered his head in thought, then waved to the four of them, signaling them to leave.

It's not good to involve these irrelevant people in team leader meetings.

"Lord Yamamoto, I believe the band leader's suggestion is feasible," said Komamura Sajin.

Ume no Hana also agrees.

Kuchiki Byakuya indicated that he had no objection.

Kenpachi Zaraki still seemed indifferent.

Yoruichi offered no opinion, simply waiting quietly for orders.

The Gotei 13 is currently only having a meeting with seven members.

Five positions are vacant, and one is on sick leave.

The seven captains currently constitute all of Seireitei's fighting force.
