In Soul Society, I just want to retire

"If you know how powerful I am, leave immediately. Don't disturb me here. I still have important work to do." Kenpachi Kamishirokawa left with his men without looking back.

But no one noticed that he lowered his head slightly and used his bangs to block his shocked eyes.

In fact, he did not use his full strength in this sword strike. After all, the two sides were comrades fighting side by side before. He only used less than 70% of his strength. He originally intended to cut off Baiguisi's arms and let him know how powerful he was.

But Kamishirokawa never expected that the sword he used with 70% of his strength only pierced the opponent's skin and did not even hurt the opponent's muscles.

Kenpachi Kamishirokawa has cut many things in his life, but among all the opponents he has met, there is only one thing he cannot completely cut, and that is the skin of Detang Yamabuki.

He remembered the first time he had met Yamabuki Ditang on that snowy night. Without a word, he had drawn his sword and struck at his neck. What had happened? His sword had struck the man's neck firmly, but not even a white mark remained.

According to Yamabuki Detang's own explanation later, this was the effect of steel skin combined with static blood equipment.

But today, the situation is completely different.

His sword did pierce the opponent's skin, but when the sword was about to pierce the muscle, he found that the opponent's muscles were extremely tough, just like using a toothpick to pierce a car tire.

Kenpachi Kamishirokawa couldn't explain this situation and could only call it a gifted talent.

"Hey! I don't even know your name yet? Can you leave your name to me? I'll come and play with you if I have time." Hyakkisi asked loudly and happily.

"Kamiyorikawa." Kamishirorikawa gave his name without turning his head.

Baiguisi was very happy that he had made a very interesting friend.

When they returned to the cellar, the little boy was shivering there. When he saw Hyakki Temple, he realized that what was happening outside was over.

Baigui Temple is like a child who has found a fun toy and is sharing what happened today with his friends. It is amazing that there are people in this world who can actually hurt him.

Compared to Hyakkiji's relaxed and happy expression, the little boy's face looked a little ugly.

He looked carefully at the wound on Hyakkiji's body. Fortunately, the wound was not deep and only cut the skin. But even so, the little boy was still very worried, because before this, no one had been able to touch a single hair of Hyakkiji.

"You'd better not be Kenpachi!" said the little boy.

Hyakkiji looked very strange: "Didn't you always encourage me to become Kenpachi? Why don't you let me go now?"

The little boy stammered, "I always thought you were invincible and could easily take the title of the strongest god of death. But now there is someone who can really hurt you. Being able to hurt you means that he has the ability to kill you. You'd better not take the risk!"

Hyakkiji smiled happily and rubbed the little boy's head. "Don't worry, I will definitely take the title of Kenpachi. You must believe that I am the strongest Shinigami in the world. As long as I am serious, no one can defeat me."

"But……"

"Don't you have confidence in your best friend? Believe me, I will definitely become the strongest god of death. This is the agreement between you and me!" Hyakkiji said excitedly.

Before he met Kamishiro Kawanobu, he actually had no interest in fighting.

Why do some people enjoy the joy of fighting? It's because no one knows the outcome before a fight begins. Every battle is a life-or-death gamble. Once lost, the loser is reduced to dust.

Everyone who craves a fight is, to some extent, a gambler.

They enjoy this process of walking between life and death.

But it’s different for Hyakki Temple. No matter how strong the opponent is, he can easily defeat the enemy.

It’s like a gambling game. No matter how you play it, the final result is winning. You may feel great in the first few days, but after a long time you will lose the fun of gambling.

This is also why he didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs before. The ending was already determined, and the process could not bring him any happiness.

But now it's different. A man appeared in his life and for the first time, he turned the 100% chance of victory in the battle into only a 50% chance of winning.

When he thought that there was a 50% chance that he would say it, Hyakkiji was so excited that he almost had a nosebleed.

"I want to eat and drink my fill! I want to adjust myself to the best condition, and then challenge the one who is known as the strongest god of death! And seize the title of Kenpachi in one fell swoop!" Hyakkiji said in a resounding voice.

"I support you! You must keep going!" the little boy shouted, clenching his little fists.

Chapter 166: General Staff's Holiday

It’s still this scorching hot summer.

Shanbuki Detang was humming a tune, and the lake was filled with iced green tea. Drinking a sip of iced, sweet and refreshing green tea in such hot weather was simply the greatest enjoyment.

"Hirako, don't be lazy. I just saw you distracted! These tasks must be completed before dark!" Yamabuki Ditang said leisurely.

"There's no need for you to talk so much here, you bastard. Why do you push all the work to me? And you just sit there drinking tea?" Hirako Mako said with a bitter look on his face.

I am sitting here like a landlord, drinking tea and reading newspapers, while my subordinates are working hard here. What could be more joyful than this?

Yamabuki Ditang believed that he was even more cold-blooded and ruthless than the evil landlords of the old times.

"Besides, what I have to deal with are not important things, they are all trivial matters. How can doing this kind of work help me grow?" Pingzi roared angrily.

"Of course! By handing these trivial tasks over to you, I will have enough time to slack off. Although you lose time, I gain freedom. Young people should not always think about being lazy, but think about what contributions they have made to this group!" Shanbuki Ditang said with the tone of an experienced person.

"I'm going to fight you!" Hirako Mako couldn't hold it in any longer. It was already frustrating enough to just sit there and watch the show, and now he even had time to make sarcastic remarks. I'm going on strike!

Unable to bear it any longer, Mako Hirako drew out her Zanpakuto and rushed forward, determined to die together with the opponent.

"Wait... wait... don't be impulsive. Impulsiveness is the devil. You're still young! Ah! You actually chopped it down! You actually dared to murder your superior? In that case, I can only use my unique skill that I haven't used in two hundred years. 100% bare-handed!" Yamabuki Ditang clamped the knife between his hands and looked at the other members of the staff: "Are you just going to stand there and watch the show? Help! Where are our teammates!"

As a result, each of these staff officers exuded a grayish aura, like a squeezed octopus, limp and flabby.

Come to think of it, they haven't had a holiday for a month, and they have to work intensively every day, and the weather is over 30 degrees Celsius. It's really difficult for these office workers.

"Hirako! Let's talk it over. Let's put away our swords first! How about this, I'll give everyone a day off today. Don't you always complain that there are no girls in our General Staff? How about we go visit the Fourth Division today? The Fourth Division has the most beauties!" Yamabuki Ditang hurriedly calmed everyone down.

As a result, these subordinates did not appreciate it at all.

"You're going to the Fourth Division just to let us watch you abuse your dog, right? You're already an old married couple, yet you're always ready to show off your affection! Haha, I'm tired. I wish this world would be destroyed!"

Everyone's attitude was surprisingly consistent.

"I've clearly applied for leave before, but why hasn't it been approved? We're the ones who make the rules, and theoretically, we're all the big bosses behind the scenes, so why are we all living such a miserable life? If there's an afterlife, I'll never work at the General Staff!"

Looking at these subordinates full of resentment, Yamabuki Ditang rubbed his forehead helplessly. The entire staff department had no more than fifty people, and there was too much work to do every day. It was not that they could not take vacations, but that they simply did not have the time.

All matters, big and small, from the thirteen squads were reported to the General Staff. Only a few special major incidents were reported to the Central Office 46, and all other trivial matters were handled here.

There is only one way now.

"Expand!" Yamabuki Ditang slammed the table heavily.

The size of the Gotei 13 is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things to manage. Naturally, the workload of the General Staff is also getting heavier. Moreover, at the beginning, Yamabuki Toto set the entry requirements of the General Staff too high, resulting in a new person being hired every two or three years, and once they join the company, they immediately become office slaves.

Otherwise, how could the resentment be so great?

Mako Hirako could hardly bear working here for less than a month, but many of the employees here had been working here for one or two hundred years and were still able to maintain a normal mental state. Mako Hirako was simply overwhelmed with admiration.

"Since everyone can't stand it anymore! Give everyone three days off. Those who want to rest can go home and rest. Those who want to go out and play can go out and play. After three days, everyone can think of a way to expand the staff so that our workload can be reduced." Shanbuki Ditang said.

All fifty people in the office instantly cheered like an army!

This is the first three-day holiday this year, which is really rare. Many people slam the documents in their hands on the table halfway through. Who would still work on vacation!

The group of people rushed out of the office like a swarm of flies to breathe fresh air outside.

It turns out the world is so beautiful!

The wind is so noisy

Mako Hirako reached out and grabbed the teapot of iced green tea, blew it to her lips, and drank it down to a refreshing sip!

"Wouldn't it be better to do this earlier?" said Mako Hirako.

Yamabuki Ditang looked at the mountain of documents, an expression of near despair on his face: "Do you know how much work will pile up in these three days? Do you know how desperate these smiling employees will be when they return in three days?"

Mako Hirako's originally relaxed expression froze in an instant.

Yes, he has now experienced how heavy the workload of the General Staff is. How much work will be piled up in three days?

Don't even mention it! It's a nightmare!

"What are your plans for expansion?" asked Mako Hirako.

Yamabuki Ditang was also troubled by this matter.

Where there are people, there will be disputes.

A person is a contradiction in himself, not to mention so many people gathered together. Although there are only fifty people, these fifty people also secretly form cliques. It is just that they are forced by Shanchui Ditang's methods that these people dare not show it.

Moreover, the General Staff is considered the brain of the Gotei 13 and has to deal with many issues every day. Once there are too many people, various problems are inevitable.

The biggest problem is not reporting the information.

Under the current working model, most of the ordinary small matters can be handled by ordinary staff officers, and only a few major matters that affect the fate of Soul Society will be handed over to Yamabuki Toto. After handling them, Yamabuki Toto will hand over the documents to the Central Forty-sixth Office, which will officially issue an order and announce that the matter has been resolved.

However, if there are too many people involved and disputes arise between the two parties, concealing some important matters and not reporting them will inevitably cause some unnecessary losses.

Never overestimate human nature.

Given the opportunity, the evil in human nature will show its fangs without hesitation.

Chapter 167: Battle for "Sword Eight"

After hearing these words, Mako Hirako suddenly burst into laughter.

"I say, you are really something. No wonder that uncle named Sar Apollo complained about you. How can you be a staff officer? You are obviously worried about your own father. In your eyes, are the Gotei 13 just children who never grow up and need to be worked hard all the time? Are you afraid of accidents?" asked Mako Hirako.

Yamabuki Ditang covered his forehead with a headache. "I know what you mean, but do you know what the most painful thing in the world is? Your subordinates are obviously not as good as you at doing things, but you still have to patiently praise them for doing a good job. Do you really think I do nothing but drink tea and eat snacks every day?"

Hirako Mako said nonchalantly, "What's going to happen will happen anyway, so why bother? We'll talk about it after it happens."

Hirako Mako knew that what Yamabuki Detang was worried about was justified. The General Staff only recruited one person every two or three years, which was enough to guarantee the quality. But even so, things like the Kujo Yomi still happened.

Taking advantage of his position, he secretly changed the documents.

No matter how strong a person is, he cannot control people's hearts.

Moreover, the ultimate goal of the Gotei 13 is to protect, and maintaining balance requires wisdom, not just force.

If it was just about flattening the three realms, Yamabuki Ditang wouldn't have to worry so much. He could flatten the three realms with one hand.

"Okay, stop standing here stupidly. Relax a little. You must be exhausted these days!" said Shanbuki Ditang.

"It would be fine if you didn't say anything. As soon as you said it, I felt my bones aching. How about we go to Miss Kiryu's house for dinner tonight?" asked Hirako.

You're addicted!

Yamabuki Detang was the last one to leave. He locked the door and put the key in his chest pocket. Just as he was about to relax, the alarm of the Gotei 13 suddenly sounded.

Shanbuki Ditang's brows twitched wildly. Can't you just let me have a peaceful vacation?

However, this alarm sounded a bit strange. It was not an alarm for when a powerful enemy was attacking.

"You go back first. I'll go see what happened." Yamabuki Ditang walked directly to the first squadron's barracks. This time he was the first to arrive. The captain's expression was very serious. When he saw Yamabuki Ditang coming, he said directly: "Something happened. You came at the right time."

"Have the Hollows invaded? Or have the Quincies returned?" Yamabuki Detang said listlessly. Yhwach definitely hasn't awakened yet, and it has been less than three hundred years since the last war.

"It's not that serious. It's just that someone is trying to snatch the position of captain of the Gotei 13. Isn't it interesting?" the old man said with interest.

Yamabuki Detang's eyes narrowed slightly. Seizing the captaincy of the Gotei 13?

When the Gotei 13 were founded, a rule was established that if anyone could defeat the previous captain in public, they could inherit the position of captain.

However, after so many years, the only one who truly rose to power by killing people was Kenpachi Kamishirokawa, and that battle was under the control of Detang Yamabuki.

So gradually this rule only applied to the 11th Division.

Not long after, the other captains arrived.

The captain of the headquarters explained the matter, but the other captains did not say anything. However, Kenpachi Kamishirokawa looked a little surprised. He had vaguely realized that this person was coming for him.

Kenpachi Kamishirogawa's guess was absolutely correct. The person who came was none other than Hyakkiji.

Don't be fooled by his big and strong appearance, he is actually quite delicate. He followed the formal procedures and directly applied for a duel with the contemporary Kenpachi. Life and death are left to fate.

All the captains' eyes were fixed on Kenpachi Kamishirokawa's face.

Although Kenpachi Kamishirokawa is a junior to them, he has a very good personality, works seriously, and gets along very well with everyone.

Since the other party dares to challenge, it means that he has a certain level of strength.

Kenpachi Kamishirokawa didn't hesitate at all: "I know this is the rule. I will accept the challenge now. No matter whether I live or die, please don't try to stop me. This is a duel between Kenpachi. Life and death are decided by fate."

Isshin Shiba and Kenpachi Kamishirokawa have the best relationship, and he was secretly anxious. If his guess was correct, the person coming to challenge him was the Hyakkiji Temple from before. That person was quite powerful. At that time, both sides only exchanged one move and neither of them gained the upper hand. Isshin Shiba guessed that Hyakkiji's strength was not inferior to his own.

In the end, he could only turn his gaze to Yamabuki Ditang.

In fact, he always felt that it was a bit reckless to decide the position of captain by fighting, but rules are rules. Yamabuki Ditang did not say anything, but directly ordered both sides to prepare the arena.

The replacement speed of Kenpachi in the 11th Division is very fast. Other teams only changed two or three captains in a thousand years, but the 11th Division changed eleven captains in a thousand years, an average of one captain in less than a hundred years.

Since the top management has made the decision, Zhiba Isshin can't say anything more and can only hope that there will be no casualties on both sides.
