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

Chapter 204 203: Ling Wang Lao Deng! Speak!
"Okay, I already understand the general direction. Hmm~ that's about it for the handover."

Matsumoto Rangiku rolled up the printed paper in her hand and smiled brightly.

"After all, I'm not a fool. If I learn this far, I will be able to understand the rest of the content to a certain extent."

Hinamori Momo responded with a rather official and bland smile.

"If that's the case, then that would be a great help... After all, I have other work to do later, and today's schedule is a bit tight."

"Has the Fifth Division been that busy lately?"

"No, I just want to get more familiar with the work, so..."

"Ah~ Young people nowadays are really capable. If I become the captain, Hinamori, you can be my deputy."

"Then Captain Matsumoto, please take care of me when the time comes."

"Oh! That's very clever!"

While laughing and joking, the two said goodbye in front of the team barracks.

Looking at Hinamori Momo's back as she bowed respectfully, turned around and trotted away.

Matsumoto Rangiku put her hands on her waist, acting like a senior - she spoke softly only after the other party had completely disappeared.

"Don't you plan to come out and meet me? It's so hard for others to come to your house."

"..."

No immediate response.

Only the sound of gentle footsteps gave the answer at this moment.

Ichimaru Gin, who had taken off his fifth squad vice-captain insignia and changed back into a squad soldier's uniform, walked out slowly from the corridor.

"It doesn't matter. That guy has grown a lot. I don't need to pay attention to him anymore."

Since I have left the 5th Division.

The related matters were naturally put aside.

But... this is definitely not the so-called "heartless". On the contrary, the thing that I once cared about the most can be safely handed over to the other party.

This is the true meaning of "trust".

Seeing that Gin Ichimaru maintained that speechless expression again, Matsumoto Rangiku sighed helplessly.

"How disingenuous of you, Ichi Maru Si Xi~"

"It's just that I have more important things to deal with."

Since joining the 10th Division, Gin Ichimaru has also performed well.

His abilities and achievements were impeccable, and even Shiba Isshin nominated him and asked him if he wanted to replace Rangiku as vice-captain.

It’s just that this topic was also rejected by the parties involved.

By now, there have been obvious changes in the order of arrangement among the soldiers in the Tenth Squad.

Under the captain, it is basically the situation where Toushirou and Ichimaru Gin are on par with each other.

It’s not that I want to deliberately skip and ignore Vice Captain Rangiku...but the other party really doesn’t do his job!

Of course, these little things will not be brought to the table and discussed casually, so even if a consensus is reached at this moment, the parties involved will not be informed.

Ichimaru Ginhan turned around and looked in the direction of Matsumoto Rangiku.

"Now...there are some things I want to discuss with you."

"What? Such a serious tone."

After all, they were childhood friends, and even though she sensed the seriousness of the other person's tone, Matsumoto Rangiku still left some room for joking.

"You can't possibly be planning to usurp the throne and push him out while the captain is away~"

"..."

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Rangiku's smile froze on her face.

"Eh? You...are you not?"

……

After returning from the Tenth Squad, Hinamori Momo hurried on her way and finally made it back to the squad room before the end of the shift.

"Vice Captain Hinamori, you've worked hard."

From time to time, he responded to the calls of some team members along the way. Although he was anxious, his expression was not out of control.

——We should be able to catch up.

Finally, the familiar office door appeared before my eyes.

Without hesitation, Hinamori Momo pushed open the door and rushed straight in.

"Captain, I'm back!"

The response was silence.

The expected figure did not appear, which made Hinamori Momo's expression frozen.

It can be said to be quite unexpected.

After all, I had never heard that Jing Arima had any plans to go out today.

——If I wasn’t here before, I would have said something…

While her thoughts were wandering, Momo Hinamori saw the contact paper left on the desk.

The handwriting on it is clearly written by Arima Shizuya.

"I have something to deal with suddenly. I will be away for about three to five days. During this time, I'll leave the team's affairs to you..."

"Come on, Hinamori, I believe that if it's you, it will be fine."

'＼(^▽^)／Looking forward to your performance.'

'From Arima Shizuya himself.'

After seeing these contents, Hinamori Momo's first reaction was relief.

It's not that they disappeared for no reason, but they traveled with a purpose... to some special places.

But at the same time, a little confusion also arises in my mind.

For Captain Arima today, what is there that is worthy of him personally dealing with?

Given Momo Hinamori's knowledge, it is somewhat hard to imagine.

and……

The girl carefully folded the piece of paper in front of her and hugged the books in her arms tightly.

That was a topic I brought up when I was chatting with Arima Shizuka a few days ago.

I'm just a little interested in these things.

Captain Arima had already found a book with relevant content and delivered it to her personally.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn’t touched. I even wanted to refuse it at the first moment.

But after hearing Arima Shizuka say, "Knowledge is also a part of strength. If you don't satisfy your curiosity, there will be no progress."

No matter how polite the refusal is, it seems so thin and powerless at this moment.

I had clearly finished reading it overnight and wanted to return it to Captain Arima and thank him in person.

In this case... won't we just have to put it off until later?
Although I can also return the book, after all, the source has been marked, which is the low-level storage content of the Eighth Division.

But... I skipped Arima Shizuya, and I always felt like something was not right.

Now it even makes people feel a little anxious.

Not understanding what her mood was, Hinamori Momo could only purse her lips and look out the floor-to-ceiling window of the office.

The sunlight was slanting and it was almost dusk.

It's getting late.

Then...

"Give it back to the captain when he comes back."

After muttering to herself for a while, Hinamori Momo carefully put the note close to her body and stepped back again.

Until he returned to the door and closed it respectfully.

bump.

There was a slight sound.

It was as if no one had ever arrived... The Fifth Division fell into silence.

……

"Ah!"

"What, you have a cold?"

Arima Shizuka also rubbed her nose and thanked Tosen Kaname for his concern with a smile.

"No...it's just a simple itchy nose, that's all, it's nothing serious."

Aizen Sosuke, who was standing at the front, expressed a different opinion.

"It's not a problem that can be ignored, Shizuya-kun."

The prison master, who was wearing a matte black material that looked like a raincoat, turned his head halfway and calmly adjusted his glasses on his nose. "Starting from Soul Society, crossing the Dangai, and reaching the human world."

"The changes in spiritual pressure caused by this will directly affect the spirit body, causing different symptoms to appear in the body."

"While the specifics vary from person to person, it is possible that there will be severe discomfort."

Therefore.

"Let's take a rest first. We still have plenty of time."

Now that things have come to this, Arima Jing is really fine, and now she has to pretend to be a little uncomfortable...

After all, selectively accepting the kindness of leaders is also one of the necessary tasks of subordinates.

Sitting on a flat stone nearby, Arima Shizuka slowly closed her eyes and pretended to take a nap.

Dong Xianyao beside him took the opportunity to "look around" and spoke with emotion at this moment.

"Is this what the so-called present world looks like?"

Not far away, Aizen chuckled, with a playful expression on his face.

"Come to think of it, Yaoi, it seems like this is indeed your first time in the human world?"

"Well... After all, when I was studying at the Spiritual Arts Academy, the Soul Burial internship had not yet been turned into a formal course."

The fact that he could make such a balanced speech was also based on feedback from the current situation.

Currently, Arima Shizuya and his group are in the real world.

Although it is one of the anchor points of the Three Realms, the importance of the human world is no less than that of the Soul Society.

But after all, it is a real place where spiritual power is the weakest. If you want to move freely in it, whether you are a god of death or a hollow, you need to suppress your own strength appropriately.

At the same time, consider that everyone's situation is different.

Not all gods of death can travel freely between the three realms.

After all, crossing the broken world requires the guidance of the Hell Butterfly. From another perspective, it is like a "ticket".

After acquiring the strength of a captain, although one can selectively enter and exit, no one will "ask for trouble" unless it is necessary.

As for why everyone here came here?

Of course it was because of the captain of the 10th Division, Isshin Shiba.

The three of them took a short break and released the Hell Butterfly that could detect traces of spiritual pressure.

It didn't take long before these things unique to Soul Society began to react.

There was no need for any additional commands, and the three of them began to act together.

On the way, Tosen took the time to help Arima Shizuya and spoke as if complaining.

"That guy from the 10th Division... is really nosy."

There must be a reason for saying such things.

After all, the original intention was just to find the whereabouts of Urahara Kisuke and that group of masked men, so he sent out a series of artificial Hollows trained by Aizen.

But I didn't expect to attract a captain-level figure to take action.

"Logically speaking, it is normal for Hollows to be active in the world..."

In theory this is true, but there are always unexpected things.

The prison master said in a deep voice at this moment.

"That Captain Shiba should be a rather perceptive fellow."

The leader spoke, but at this moment Dongxian did not completely agree with what he said.

"But even so, it shouldn't be exaggerated to the point of personally taking action..."

"No, this is also a very normal thing."

Instead of providing additional information immediately, Aizen changed the subject.

"Shizuya-kun, do you know why?"

If the leader gives you the opportunity to show your ability, then of course you should seize the opportunity to say a few words.

Pretending to wipe the corner of his mouth, Arima Shizuka replied calmly.

"Because the reports of casualties within the team are somewhat concerning."

The prison warden smiled with satisfaction.

"This is it."

Seeing the two of them communicating like guessing riddles, Blind Brother's head shook in confusion.

WTF?

Knowing that Tosen was born with some difficulties in reading information, Arima Shizuka also supplemented the remaining information at this moment.

"Because some things have not been processed by blind culture, the information you have is a little different from ours..."

"In fact, because the strength of the artificial virtual objects distributed is uneven, the impact they have on the real world is also different."

"The Hollows that reside in the real world will take action, and generally they will follow orders, with the main purpose of finding the target. But..."

After all, they are just brainless 'beasts'.

"So from the perspective of action, it will naturally appear very rough."

In terms of specific manifestations, it is naturally a weak appetite.

Their desire for souls will make them attack continuously, causing casualties among ordinary people - and this result will in turn attract the stationed Grim Reaper to attack them.

"Although Mr. Aizen looks down on those guys, they are the products of research after all, so they are not weak in strength."

"As for the Death Gods stationed in the real world... although they are quite powerful, it is still a bit difficult to deal with these artificial Hollows."

Arima Shizuya's statement at this moment can be said to be quite conservative.

After all, if you really think about it, the Xu created by the Collapse Jade has at least the strength of a chief official.

At the same time, it may also have some strange abilities attached to it, which will make the difficulty of defeating it increase exponentially.

So after a brief conflict, the garrison suffered heavy losses, needless to say.

"I guess after seeing the first-hand intelligence, he became somewhat concerned about the current situation, so he chose to take action personally."

"From this perspective, Captain Shiba is actually a very proactive guy."

"It's just that there's no obvious signs of it on weekdays, so it seems like no one cares too much about it."

The conclusion given by Arima Shizuka is completely consistent with Master Lao's conjecture.

I secretly admired him in my heart, saying that he is worthy of being my godson. At this moment, Aizen Sosuke made a further addition.

"If it was just the commotion caused by the artificial Hollows that caused Shiba Isshin to attack, then I wouldn't be so concerned about it."

After a pause, the prison warden's eyes swept over and his tone was slightly deep.

"The main problem is still your clone... Shizuya-kun."

The Yaksha clone was also assigned out.

Although at the beginning the idea was just to let it move freely for a while so that it wouldn't be locked up for too long.

But now that we have provoked a captain-level figure, we have to care about him.

Faced with the prison warden's concerned words, Arima Jingye pondered for a moment and just responded with a gentle smile.

My thoughts at this moment are a little complicated.

After all, according to the plan.

The focus of this round is not whether Yaksha's clone will encounter an accident.

But...

"Can I transfer the energy of the Hollow to Kurosaki Masaki's body?"

This involves the important content of Ichigo Kurosaki's power composition.

It’s just that this aspect is an important point where no mistakes can be made.

And judging from the current situation... this also made Arima Shizuka feel somewhat nervous.

After all, in this timeline, Xu Bai had been torn apart by his own hands.

If this trip really fails to bring him together, or if the power of the Hollow cannot be fully transferred...

Would that mean that Ichigo Kurosaki no longer exists?

The flapping of a butterfly's wings may not, in its essence, cause any change.

But as long as the corresponding actions are taken at the right time, causing a chain reaction is a natural thing.

And now.

Arima Shizuka became the butterfly that could change everything.

"By the way, this is probably part of the Soul King's plan, right?"

It's impossible that Lao Deng didn't have any backup plan.

But if you think about it that way, the problem becomes more obvious - for what reason would your Yasha clone be destroyed and its energy transferred by the Kurosaki couple?

At the same time, wouldn't it provoke the prison warden to take action personally?

Hey!
Ling Wang Lao Deng! Speak up!
