Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 145 Chapter 144: The Curtain Rises

The power of Zanpakutō itself is a rather private topic.

Normally, this is information that will not be revealed proactively. After all, for most of the gods of death, this thing is basically the bottom of the box.

To be honest.

"Asking such a question casually is a very rude act in itself."

This carefree Hiyori could still fool people with words like "it doesn't bother other people", but the others didn't say anything to stop him, which seemed a little awkward at this moment.

But then again...if I want to officially become the captain of the Gotei 13, I will definitely have the opportunity to unleash my Zanpakutō.

It is only a matter of time before people know about your abilities.

So, does this mean that Arima Shizuka should also give her own token of allegiance?

After all, taking the initiative to explain one's abilities at this juncture can be considered a gesture of goodwill in another sense.

Thinking of this, Arima Jing blinked and said with a smile.

"It's just that the description is too thin."

At this moment, the boy took a half step back, raised his hand to his waist, and the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

"Why not just show it to me, maybe the explanation will be clearer?"

Although it was somewhat unexpected, no one spoke to smooth things over. It seemed that everyone was looking forward to this kind of thing.

Arima Jing couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

No wonder the prison warden could capture you so easily.

I don’t know where all your curiosity comes from…

Each and every one of them is a gossip immortal.

All I can say about this aspect is that if everyone wasn't so curious, the prison master wouldn't be able to succeed so easily.

Although he was filled with emotion, Arima Shizuka's expression remained unchanged.

At this moment, he unsheathed his Zanpakutō and held it horizontally in front of him.

"Well... my apologies."

Zanpakutō is released.

"Eat your own tail, Yugi."

……

After watching the entire presentation, the first person to speak was Jiunan Bai, who had just arrived and had not had time to introduce himself.

This guy is really dressed fashionably.

“Eh?! What was that just now?! I don’t think I saw it clearly… but it was amazing!”

The speech was so meaningless that even Rokuguruma Kensi showed a look of disgust and pushed her to his side.

In comparison, the other team-level characters did see some of the clues.

Fengqiao Loujuro straightened up and rubbed his chin with his right hand, revealing an expression of great interest.

"By manipulating the surrounding air and energy, we can simulate different scenarios... and then put the opponent into a relatively unfavorable environment, so that we can start a fight."

It turned out to be the case.

"It looks like it's also an illusion-type Zanpakutō ability."

Apparently, Fengqiao Loujuro showed great interest in this specialty.

In comparison, Aikawa Luowu's expression seemed somewhat calm.

"Although I find it interesting, abilities in this area are still relatively common."

After all, he is a person with the image of a big brother, and Aikawa Luowu's judgment at this moment is also reasonable and well-founded.

"After all, it's just a simulation in an illusion, and it won't cause the opponent to feel any substantial obstacles. And it won't improve the means of output... So, in the end, it all depends on how good your basic skills are."

Liu Che Quanxi, who was standing next to him, nodded, seeming to agree with this statement.

"I think that's true. Besides... this level of simulation is not useless. In my opinion, it can be used to cooperate with others."

As he spoke, he half turned his head and stared at Mako Hirako who was looking thoughtful not far away.

"The cost of training the junior you like is not low."

As if he had just come to his senses, the yellow-haired captain of the fifth squad raised his eyelids and just chuckled in response.

"It doesn't matter. We have plenty of time."

At this point, Arima Shizuya's display of abilities came to a temporary end.

The choice of the name "Gong Yi" to reveal his identity had its own considerations.

——After all, there were three people present who had fought with him before.

No matter how much others look down on you, you must never show your so-called 'real ability'.

Considering the connection between Bankai and Shikai, Arima Shizuka also did not dare to make such a "big gamble" behavior.

It’s time to say it or not.

When the Sagara dragon concealed his true identity, the false name he used to deceive others was still able to play a corresponding role.

Just like the relationship between the vine peacock and the glass peacock, incomplete liberation cannot unleash complete power.

Thanks to this, Arima Shizuka also "intercepted" it, and the power she displayed was the illusion ability centered on the Salt Sea.

The abilities of Zanpakutō are roughly classified and itemized. Taking this aspect into consideration, the illusion-type Zanpakutō itself is not too niche.

After all, from Jinghua Shuiyue and Muramasa to Nifu and Kinsara, all types belong to this classification.

As a means of getting away with it, it is the most appropriate choice.

Arima Shizuka also sheathed his sword. At this moment, he could feel that the gazes of the people looking at him seemed to have softened a lot.

——It makes people feel emotional.

The unknown brings fear, while familiarity brings kindness.

No wonder the prison master looks down on other people from the bottom of his heart... After all, for a person with his personality, this kind of unrestrained emotional change really makes him dislike.

Gain the trust of others.

With the help of Hirako Mako's introduction, Arima Shizuka was finally able to integrate into this group of people.

Although several captains would ask him questions during this period, it was the other deputy captains who liked to take care of him more.

Maybe he has already determined the person's future position... The attitude he displays at this time can be said to be quite friendly.

Kunanbai's startled tone sounded interesting, but when they really started chatting, they basically just complained about Liuche Kenxi's inaction.

——Being the vice-captain is very hard!

Perhaps due to his personality, Kensei Rokuguruma seemed quite helpless when it came to government affairs.

As for Hiashi.

Maybe it was because he drank some wine, his face was as red as a monkey's butt, and his voice sounded a little hoarse.

——If you don’t understand something in the future, just come and ask me. I’ll protect you!

Considering the other person's character and personality, Arima Shizuka also felt that he should just listen to what she said...

I was still somewhat uncomfortable getting along with these people, but fortunately this small cocktail party didn't last too long.

Before sunset, everyone had dispersed.

Following behind Hirako Masako, Arima Shizuka also saw the drunken captain staggering as he walked.

He asked somewhat helplessly.

“Is it really okay to drink so much?”

The response was the other party's intermittent laughter.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm in a good mood today. It's okay to be happy occasionally."

"As a captain, behaving like this will make the team seem a little lax, right?"

"Ahahaha, in everyone's impression, I'm not a serious guy anyway."

No, no, no, isn't this something to be proud of?

"By the way, Arima, what do you think of those guys you met today?"

The person pondered for a moment.

"It's OK. At least everyone is pretty kind."

"Huh?! Is the evaluation so low?"

But...well, this is enough.

After all, there is still a long way to go.

Hirako Mako smiled and put her arm around Arima Shizuya's shoulders, saying in her signature joking tone, "It's normal now, but in the future, you will definitely like them."

is it?

Arima Shizuka pursed her lips without commenting, and finally revealed a faint smile.

maybe.

Return from the party and rejoin the team.

Arima Shizuka did not resist and just as Mako Hirako said, she began to familiarize herself with the work of the Fifth Division step by step.

Just as the other party said, due to the nature of the squad, Arima Shizuka also needs to put in a lot of energy - but fortunately, because she had interned in several squads beforehand, she was not completely unable to get the hang of it.

Hirako Mako's generous sharing of knowledge is also very beneficial to others.

Although Arima Shizuka did not improve much in this six-month intensive training, her experience and knowledge in management were greatly expanded.

Even in the end, it had reached the point where the picky yellow-haired captain said, "Even if the team is sent directly to you, it seems that there will be no problem."

Emotion and sweat merge together.

Finally, half a year passed...in the middle of a certain unknown night.

Arima Shizuka also sat in the deputy captain's office and finished dealing with the tasks assigned for today.

"Then I'll leave the rest up to you. If you encounter any difficulties at work, don't force yourself, and remember to come and give me feedback."

"Thank you, Vice Captain Arima!"

Looking at the soldiers of the Fifth Division with expressions of gratitude on their faces, Arima Shizuya's smile was gentle and powerful.

"Thank you for your kindness. The current vice-captain is still Senior Aizen. Please be careful with your words and actions in this regard."

The other party, however, had a frivolous look on his face, and obviously did not take this statement seriously.

"But Mr. Arima's ability is enough to take on the position of vice-captain, right? What's more, Senior Aizen hasn't appeared in this period of time..."

As he spoke, the other party leaned his head forward and spoke in a deliberately low voice.

"In fact, everyone is now mentally prepared and thinks that you will soon take on the position of vice-captain."

Arima Shizuka also scratched the corner of her mouth in distress, wanting to say something.

But in the end he just sighed helplessly.

Although the parties involved have no intention in this regard, in fact, Mako Hirako is making plans in this direction.

He distanced himself from Sosuke Aizen and gave Shizuya Arima more opportunities to perform.

By keeping the latter active, he can win over the hearts of the members of the Fifth Division and finally achieve the goal of completing the internal transfer of power.

In terms of means alone, there is nothing special about it, but as the saying goes, the simpler things are, the more useful they are.

At times like this, Hirako Mako's strategy is indeed effective.

Arima Shizuka also pursed her lips helplessly and complained.

"You... remember not to talk nonsense outside."

Although he agreed, looking at this guy's expression, it was obvious that he didn't take it seriously.

bump!
The door closes.

The new moon is rising outside the window, and it is time to rest.

Arima Jing sorted out the documents as usual, locked each file cabinet, and checked carefully...

He turned back and returned to his seat.

Arima Shizuka also clasped her hands together, as if waiting for something...

Until a familiar set of footsteps sounded outside the door.

hum.

The door lock turns and the bearing tightens.

Snapped……

The metal shrapnel was plucked, making a crisp sound.

The door was pushed open.

The cold moonlight shines on the corridor, and at this moment, it completely illuminates the figures coming.

It was as if a man walking on the moon walked into the room with a gentle and calm aura.

"Shizuya-kun, long time no see."

Aizen Sosuke.

It has been half a year since we last met, but the other person's appearance has not changed at all.

Looking at the prison warden standing in front of him, Arima Jing also stood up from his seat and was about to salute respectfully.

The other party had already spoken with a smile.

"You'd better sit down and talk to me. After all, Shizuya-kun is the vice-captain trained by Captain Hirako."

Oh, these words really hurt.

Arima Shizuka also sighed helplessly.

"Teacher, please stop mocking me like this..."

The other person just smiled and pushed up his glasses.

It is just as Arima Jingye said.

As the saying goes, jokes can be taken lightly.

Aizen took a few steps forward and looked around the somewhat unfamiliar office with an emotional look.

It's been a long time.

"Time flies so fast. In just a blink of an eye, half a year has passed."

Arima Jing did not agree. After all, they had been together for such a long time that he could roughly understand the other person's temper.

The emotion you express at this time is not an expression of your own emotions.

It is an 'opening statement' in another sense.

As his tone became more serious, Aizen Sosuke gave him a meaningful look at this moment.

"Shizuya-kun, how have you been these past six months?"

Arima Shizuka also responded in a deep voice and gave a definite answer.

"According to your instructions, I have tried my best to learn these government affairs procedures. Although I am not completely familiar with them now, I have a basic understanding of them."

The reason why I work so hard.

It wasn't just because of Mako Hirako's urging.

The same reason also came from the prison warden who gave him instructions.

"Really? That's really good news."

Aizen seemed to be smiling quite happily. He raised his right hand and straightened his eyes.

There was also a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Tomorrow is the time for me to review the Fifth Division. According to Captain Hirako's arrangement, I will be directly dismissed, and Shizuya-kun will take over. We will complete the transfer of power within the team as quickly as possible."

perfect.

This is Ping Zhen Zhenzi's conspiracy.

However, Aizen Sosuke also had his own plans.

"So what's the current situation, Shizuya-kun?"

Arima Shizuka nodded in response and spoke in a calm tone.

"The arrangements for Rukongai have been completed. According to reliable information, the captain of the 9th Division, Kensei Muguruma, and the vice-captain, Shiro Kunan, have already gone to the expected location for investigation."

The curtain rises.

And Aizen also asked at this moment.

"Shizuya-kun, do you think it's cruel to attack these companions?"

The person concerned hesitated for a moment and replied thoughtfully.

"They...are all good people."

"so."

"Let's solve the problem as quickly as possible."
