Bleach: From Rugum to Thousand-Year Captain

"It seems even our Captain-Commander Yamamoto can make mistakes and misjudgments!"

Chapter 94 A Lone Warrior, This Man is Called Death! (Please recommend and add to your favorites)

The events surrounding the night of the massacre of the Tsunayo clan are still unfolding, but thanks to the intervention of the Covert Force, the news has been completely suppressed.

Even if a few loose lips sink in and loud messages get out, they'll be warned by the covert forces.

If you refuse to listen to advice, then feel bad. Just stay in the maggot's nest for the rest of your life for the reason of endangering the safety of the Seireitei.

The current Central 46th Chamber excludes the Tsunayoshi lineage of nobles.

At the same time, it also warned smaller families like Kyoraku, Ukitake, and Ise, who did not rely on the five major families, to give them no unrealistic ideas.

Because while secretly eliminating smaller families, they captured members of the Kashima family.

After being interrogated by the Secret Service, the Kashima family members confessed to plotting to harm Kyoraku and Ukitake, as well as attacking Yamamoto.

When the Kashima family members who had attacked Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro were executed, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni went to watch and made his stance clear.

It's not that I don't want to avenge my disciple, but I don't want to start a fire before things come to light.

Everyone says Yamamoto has a bad temper, but he is actually the calmest one.

Meanwhile, Amatsuki Suzaku, the mastermind behind Tsunayoshiro's massacre of the clan, arrived at the Fourth Division barracks to attend Unohana Retsu's flower arranging class.

Upon seeing Tengetsu Sukusai haphazardly arranging flower arrangements, Unohana Retsu frowned and squinted.

"That's not how you do flower arranging. You have to choose the flowers first and then start placing them... Captain Tianyue, what are you doing here at the flower arranging meeting, a grown man...? What are you trying to do?"

"Ugh! Isn't this just boring!"

Tianyue Quezhai shrugged, ignoring Hua Jie's teasing.

"Isn't the 13th Division the Purification Division? They should have a lot of soul-purifying work to do. Is it really okay for you to slack off here?"

"Purification is too easy. Isn't it just killing Hollows and then using a Zanpakuto to summon their souls? Anyone can become a Shinigami as long as they have an Asahi. My 13th Division needs too many members, so I might as well not limit the number of recruits. I will accept any qualified trainee Shinigami."

"In just one period, we were able to recruit thousands of team members to help with soul guiding. The efficiency was greatly improved, and I didn't need to worry about it at all."

"Besides, if you can't even do something like this right and cause the captain to worry, then you're really not qualified to be a Grim Reaper!"

Each district of Rukongai requires at least one Shinigami to patrol, and the Reincarnation Grounds in the human world also require at least 10 Shinigami to take turns on duty, not even including the possibility of Hollows appearing in ordinary human areas.

As a result, his 13th Division would have to send at least 1500 members out to deal with the soul reincarnation issue. Furthermore, because of the high casualty rate in battles against Hollows, at least 2000 members would be needed as reserves to replace them at any time.

There weren't that many Shinigami trainees in the first Shinigami Academy, so Tengetsu Sussai basically formed a Shinigami recruitment team to go to Rukongai to find spiritualists to fill the vacancies in the academy, instead of just waiting for people to come to him to apply.

As for the matter of entering and leaving the Soul Society and the real world, Tengetsu Sussai sought help from the Shihouin family.

They borrowed many devices from the Heavenly Gift Army that could stably output spiritual power, essentially making them larger interdimensional portals for the Thirteenth Division members to use.

He had considered training his own researchers to conduct research, but his subordinates simply didn't have the talent to research things like interdimensional portals.

After playing with flower arranging for a while, Tengetsu Quezhai remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, Sister Hua, with the help of the Shihōin family, I'm currently preparing to hold a food festival in Runlin'an. It's held every ten years, and all the ingredients are high-grade ones that I provide. Would you be interested in participating, Sister Hua?"

The so-called food festival was naturally held on the basis of Shihōin's previous assistance to Tengetsu Sukusai in operating a high-end food restaurant.

The main reason he does this kind of thing is that he's just too bored every day.

On days without fighting, they either ate and slept or wandered around aimlessly, with the squad affairs handled by their subordinate officers.

This small amount of power was enough to delegate to 20 chairmen, while the next leader, Kuchiki Ginrei, was to gain experience.

He volunteered to become the vice-captain of the 13th Division instead of taking up a position in the 6th Division, making him arguably the fastest-promoted young vice-captain.

Moreover, Tengetsu Quezhai didn't even consider whether he could achieve enlightenment; he just agreed to find a suitable ox or horse without any further selection.

Oh no, the one who was promoted to vice-captain the fastest should be Tengetsu Chosai, who became vice-captain as soon as he joined the Gotei.

However, Kuchiki Ginrei's decision not to join the Sixth Division but instead to become Tengetsu Sussai's adjutant was based on her own considerations.

After all, the acting captain of the Sixth Division is Shigeyoshi Kuchiki, the head of the Kuchiki branch family.

According to the rules among the nobility, Kuchiki Shigeyoshi was to respect Kuchiki Ginryo.

An acting captain is still a captain. It would be awkward for him to report to the vice-captain all the time, and it would also be improper in the eyes of the Kuchiki family's traditions and rules.

Furthermore, if Kuchiki Ginrin were to become the lieutenant as soon as she joined the Sixth Division, people would gossip that she got in through connections, and no matter how hard she tried, it would be seen as an attempt to climb the ranks.

After all, once she learns Bankai, Kuchiki Ginrin will replace Kuchiki Shigeyoshi as the captain of the Sixth Division.

"Captain! Captain!!! The food festival is about to start, aren't you going to watch it? Ah, Captain Unohana, good day!"

"Idiot! Kuchiki Ginryo, if I, as the captain, personally go to the food festival, it will cause a huge commotion for Runlin'an. Just take a look from afar and join in the fun. Go and have a look, oh, and while you're at it, bring me some grilled squid!"

"All right...."

Kuchiki Ginryu was speechless; her captain was just too good at slacking off.

Unless it's something major, you basically won't see Captain Tianyue.

According to Captain Tianyue, that's how you train yourselves.

Death is lonely, fighting alone, wielding the sword alone, and dying alone. There is no difference between him and Hollows, and the so-called heart is the same.

Although Kuchiki Ginryu felt that Tengetsu Sukusai's words seemed to make some sense, wasn't that just an excuse for laziness?

After Kuchiki Ginryu took his leave, Unohana spoke.

"Captain Tianyue, your aura is becoming more and more profound. The speed of your progress is truly astonishing."

"Sister Hana is joking. No matter how much you improve, it can't compare to the strength of Sister Hana and the Captain-Commander. Besides, after Sister Hana joined the Fourth Division and the Captain-Commander was in the Great War, you both seem like completely different people."

“This makes my sword feel lonely. If none of you are willing to wield your swords anymore, then very few people will be able to draw the Divine Truth from its sheath again.”

The original Gotei 13, this assassin group, was born from and was immersed in killing.

Tengetsu Quesai also enjoys the thrill of fighting at the drop of a hat, where swords clashing openly express one's will, without needing to say anything superfluous or hypocritical.

A life where all you do is wield a knife, that's what life is all about!

The first captains either died or died, and Yamamoto sacrificed everything for order, including killing and wielding swords.

After her defeat, Unohana developed a mental block and, after stepping down as Kenpachi, did not believe she was qualified to wield a sword again.

The captain of the third division, Yan Yuanjinle, has become even more taciturn and difficult to communicate with, while the executor of the seventh division, Nobukatsu, and the captain of the eighth division, Shikato Hakuunzai, are also involved.

It's really hard for someone patrolling the inner court, facing the faces of nobles every day, to resist the urge to draw their sword.

Tengetsu Sussai felt that he wouldn't be surprised if Nobukatsu were to execute the Manji in the inner garden and kill him. He probably thought that Yamamoto had given him a special order not to carry a sword in the Seireitei.

Shikatori Hakunsai has been working with the Second Division's Onmitsukidō every day, essentially returning to his original job of intelligence work. As for wielding his sword, he no longer just draws it and starts hacking and dismembering enemies like before.

This feeling is similar to graduating from school, where classmates go their separate ways and can never go back.

Walking alone on the road, the feeling of loneliness would instantly engulf the whole body.

Tenzuki Susuke seems to be gradually understanding Aizen Sousuke's mentality, as well as the joy of having an opponent like Urahara Kisuke in a game of strategy.

As for Tengetsu no Suzaku, he had nothing. Since Kirinji Tenjiro went to the Spirit King Palace, he could not be considered a worthy opponent, or even at all.

Questioning Aizen, understanding Aizen, becoming Aizen—this is the true reflection of Tengetsu Sussai's inner thoughts at this moment.

"How about I stir things up too? Hollowfication experiments, conquering Hueco Mundo, attacking Soul Society, storming the Soul King's Palace, and surpassing everything to become Camille?"

"Captain Tianyue, what are you muttering to yourself...?"

"Uh...it's nothing."

......

Chapter 95 A Century-Old Captain! And the Power of Rebirth!

Peaceful days always pass quickly. Chiaki Shihōin, the acting captain of the Second Division, did a great job in his duties and spent ten years learning Bankai.

Because the Shihōin family did not have a suitable replacement for Shihōin Chiaki as the new captain in time, they retained him as captain.

After six years of training at Shinigami Academy and one year of internship at Gotei 14, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro, who had mastered Bankai, were nominated by Yamamoto for the captain selection process.

Within five years, Kuchiki Ginrin mastered Bankai and immediately became the captain of the Sixth Division, becoming a formidable young captain.

Now that the Sixth Division is truly confirmed as a noble division, Kuchiki Shigeyoshi, the acting captain, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Within a century, apart from the Third Division Captain Yan Yuan Jinle, the Seventh Division Commander Nobukatsu and the Eighth Division Shikato Hakunsai were forced into retirement.

There was a significant twist to this story: after enduring several years of hardship, the executor, Nobukatsu, was indeed unable to mingle with the nobles within the inner court.

Because of some minor conflicts with the nobles, the executioner Nobukatsu lost his temper and drew his sword, killing several nobles. Just carrying a knife in the inner courtyard is a serious crime!

This matter caused a great uproar and also affected Luqubaiyunzhai.

Because Shikatori Hakunsai's work is indeed not very clean, the current Second Division Onmitsukido and the Eighth Division Intelligence Squad are considered paparazzi by everyone in Seireitei.

Because they can't hide any information from you; they can even tell you how many times the men in your house have taken a shower, and what color the women's underwear is.

Of course, this is a rather exaggerated statement.

However, the Hidden Force is, after all, a violent organization under the Shihōin family. Many minor nobles have close ties with the Shihōin family, so it is impossible to offend the Shihōin family or the Hidden Force.

However, Shikatori Hakunsai was different; he was the first captain with no background and a long and storied past.

She was covered in blood, and even participated in the assassination of some nobles.

If we really go by the facts, and the charges are brought to the forefront for investigation, it will be difficult for the Second Division and Yamamoto to protect her. And will Yamamoto and the Second Division even protect her?

Yamamoto, Unohana, and Amatsuki Sussai all witnessed the actions of the two first captains, but ultimately, their way of thinking couldn't keep up with the times.

They are no longer the original Gotei 14 assassin group, and they are no longer the dirty hitmen. Everything must be done according to the rules.

Ultimately, it's all Yamamoto's fault!

Captain Shikato Hakunsai, whose disappearance is unknown, is indeed a hidden bomb.

He repeatedly ignored advice and wandered around the inner courtyard with his Zanpakuto, killing several nobles, which was merely the fuse that ignited the conflict.

This order didn't even need to be issued by the Central 46th Bureau; Yamamoto gave the order, and Unohana and Tengetsu Sussai were put in charge of killing and burying, respectively.

Of course, Unohana was merely standing behind to support Amatsuki Suzaku, and in the end, Amatsuki Suzaku could only be the villain who killed Nobutsuna.

Kuchiki Ginrei and Shihōin Chiaki are no match for the first captain, Shishino Taketsuna, and Iwahara Kinroku wouldn't dare to attack his former colleague. The most suitable candidate is indeed Tengetsu Sussai.

Surrounded by a group of captains, the fate of Executive Nobukatsu was obvious. After a fierce battle, as Executive Nobukatsu had wished, Amatsuki Susuzai killed him in the fight.
