Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

"Alright, stop fooling around, Pisces."

"I still need to process the case files."

Jushiro Ukitake sat cross-legged on the floor, looking distressed, while two laughing children in blue clothes circled around him.

"No, that can be handled by Sentaro."

"That's right, your task now is to play with us."

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

"How about I play with you instead?"

Pisces turned around and a kind smile came into view.

……

……

Noble Street, Moriyama Residence.

Underground, in a newly opened secret chamber.

With his head full of white hair, Tsunayoshiro Taketori stared intently at the cylindrical container in front of him. Countless streams of phosphorus flowed back and forth inside, emitting tiny points of fluorescence, as dazzling as stars.

"Just a little bit more."

"Back then, our ancestor was too merciful. He banished the power that should have belonged to Gangmi to the Three Realms, forcing us, his descendants, to spend thousands of years to retrieve it."

Gosuke stood respectfully to the side, his eyes lowered, without uttering a word.

"But we don't have much time left."

Tsunayoshi Taketori turned his gaze back, and his deep voice echoed in the room:

"Lord Gosuke, let our men begin."

Upon hearing this, Gosuke nodded, immediately walked out of the room, bit his finger and drew the Ghost Path ritual in the air while chanting incantations.

"A web of black and white! Twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crowns!"

"Footprints, distant thunder, sharp peak, return to earth, night slumber, sea of ​​clouds, azure sequence, filling the cosmos, heading straight for the heavens!"

"Binding Spell Seventy-Seven: Heavenly Void!"

The immense spiritual pressure transformed into a net, spreading out instantly and penetrating the walls at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, soaring into the sky.

Soon after, feedback came in.

It was just two simple words: "Received".

Meanwhile, at the First Squad barracks.

While processing the files, Yamamoto suddenly sensed a wisp of spiritual pressure intruding into his senses.

Looking up, I saw a member of the Riding team, completely shrouded in black, walk in through the door, kneel on one knee, and respectfully say:

"Commander-in-Chief, the Central Military Academy's 46th Division is holding an emergency meeting and requests your presence!"

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chapter 106: In team fights, prioritize eliminating the carry.

"So the teacher sent you?"

Perhaps because of his playful fight with Pisces, Jushiro Ukitake looked better than usual and didn't appear as sickly.

"Speaking of which, teachers have a lot of hard work."

"Besides worrying about the safety of Seireitei, you also need to pay attention to my situation as your disciple."

"As a disciple, I cannot share the burden of my teacher; as the captain, I also need to rely on the assistance of the vice-captain."

Jushiro Ukitake sighed deeply, a hint of shame on his face.

Naraku Sora put down the empty teacup, and the previously beaten Pisces Ritsu obediently refilled it, immediately earning a look of approval from someone.

"Senior Brother Fuzhu, you seem to be going a bit too far."

"Think about it from another angle. As the captain of the 13th Division, you have to consider the problems that Yamamoto-sensei is facing. As a disciple of Genryu, you also have to be responsible for the 13th Division's case files."

"For example, at the last squad leader meeting, didn't you propose that the vice-captain of the sixth division take over Takeda Satoru's position as the captain of the ninth division?"

Jushiro Ukitake: "..."

I have to say, he truly lives up to his junior brother's reputation.

This way of thinking is very much in the style of Kyoraku.

Naraku Sora took a sip of tea, the elegant aroma filling her mouth, and a subtle sweetness emerged after a few sips.

Even a boorish man who knows nothing about tea ceremony can still appreciate its beauty.

Feathered Robe Tea, the finest tea, is scarce and expensive, and is mostly monopolized by the nobility.

It is worth mentioning that the Ukitake family was also a lower-ranking noble family.

Furthermore, due to Ukitake Jushiro's current status, his family has risen in prestige and is now quite renowned among the lower nobility.

"If you ask me, there's nothing to worry about."

Naraku grinned. "Brother Ukitake, you've done more than enough. If it were anyone else, they probably would have collapsed under this pressure long ago."

Hearing the comforting meaning in his words, Jushiro Ukitake felt a warmth in his heart and said softly:

"To be honest, the 13th Division is short of talent. The position of vice-captain has been vacant for a long time. Although Sentaro does a good job in his clerical work, his strength is slightly lacking, making it difficult for him to win over the masses."

"In addition, my own health is precarious, so a considerable number of affairs have been delegated to the officials, but this cannot continue indefinitely."

"If we encounter another serious incident like today, without a captain-level Shinigami in charge to take charge, it could easily trigger unrest that the team members cannot bear."

Upon hearing this, Naraku looked at the obedient Pisces Rin standing on either side and blinked.

Then I looked at Jushiro Ukitake.

Does that mean the serious incident you're referring to is these two little guys wanting to play games with you?

Under questioning gazes, Jushiro Ukitake remained unfazed, took a sip of tea, and his magnetic voice rang out once more:

"Therefore, in order to avoid such incidents from happening, it would be best to have a Shinigami who can take over my position join the 13th Division."

"After hearing about some of my junior brother's deeds, I felt that you are the one I have been waiting for, the future pillar of the Thirteenth Division."

Nai Luo Kong: "?"

Why do I suddenly feel like I've been tricked?

They were just here to suppress the rebellious Zanpakuto, but they're suddenly talking about such heavy topics.

"Senior Brother Fuzhu, I..."

Naraku Sora wanted to say something more, but suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

He slowly drank the tea in his cup and put it down.

Then, he gently placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

……

……

Zhenyang underground meeting hall.

The atmosphere in the huge meeting room was unusually heavy and anxious.

"Kuchiki Kyouga colluded with the rebels, violated regulations, and released Bankai within the Seireitei without authorization, causing serious casualties!"

"Seventy-three of them died, eighty-nine were too badly injured to recover, and countless others sustained minor injuries. The damage to the team's barracks was astronomical."

"The entire Moriyama family, a noble family of the upper class, was wiped out, leaving no trace of their remains. Countless nobles in the noble district lost their lives due to the turmoil."

“Such crimes are unforgivable. Those who are rebellious and immoral should be sentenced to death to uphold the law.”

"At the same time, Kuchiki Hibiki, as a member of the Kuchiki family, committed such a crime, and the Kuchiki family not only did not investigate, but also repeatedly covered it up, leading to a great disaster. They should be punished."

"We should propose to the Council of the Golden Seals that they be stripped of their status as the five nobles and expelled from Seireitei."

Behind seat number one, an elderly man read aloud the document in his hand with righteous indignation, spitting as he read, and when he got emotional, he spoke.

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Immediately, other judges stepped forward, and a voice came from behind seat number four, sternly rebuking them.

"Absurd! To slander the Kuchiki family, one of the five great noble families, without any evidence?"

"Kuchiki is the epitome of death, an object of emulation for many nobles. You old fool Asano, have you lost your mind from drinking and carousing? How dare you make baseless accusations against the Kuchiki family?!"

"Do you have any evidence for what you just said?"

Upon hearing this, a disdainful sneer came from behind seat number nine, as if mocking him.

"evidence?"

"Countless eyes witnessed the betrayal of the Shinigami's Zanpakuto. Do you still intend to deny it?"

"As everyone knows, the only one who can do this is Kuchiki Kyoga, and the ability of his Zanpakuto Muramasa is still recorded in the archives sealed by the 46th Chamber."

"You should remember this better than I do!"

"Without evidence, it's all just a frame-up!"

The heated argument echoed through the empty underground council chamber, and the tense atmosphere grew increasingly palpable.

Even Yamamoto, who was invited to watch, frowned, not understanding why Tsunayoshi would choose this time to attack the Kuchiki family.

The Forty-Six Chambers are essentially composed of forty-six families, each selecting its most representative member to serve as a sage or judge.

Their family may not have much influence in Soul Society, but behind them stand the four noble families that symbolize the pinnacle of power in Soul Society.

Soon, the huge underground council chamber was transformed into a noisy vegetable market.

The sages on Tsunayoshiro's side kept listing various crimes, forcibly pinning the blame on the Kuchiki family, attempting to directly strip them of their noble status.

Kuchiki's side was not to be outdone, and directly pulled out some dirt on Tsunayoshi from years ago, choosing to expose it all at once.

In their excitement, some even controlled their spiritual pressure in their throats to raise their voices.
