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

Chapter 212: New Captain

Chapter 212: New Captain of the Tenth Division
After one month.

In Soul Society, in Seireitei.

The regular captain meetings arranged by date arrived as scheduled.

However, the content of this discussion was obviously much more complicated than before.

Because this time we not only need to discuss some things that have not been finalized or have changed, but also need to be negotiated and discussed.

Finally, determine what should be done with this suddenly missing captain position.

"Shiba Isshin..."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's tone remained calm, but those who were familiar with him could hear a hint of fatigue in his voice.

"Now, after a month of searching, there is still no news about him?"

Old man Yamamoto glanced down, and Soi Fong, who was right below his left hand, spoke directly.

"I'll start with this. If you have anything to add, feel free to do so."

"First of all, our team's secret mobile forces have already been deployed in the world."

"Although the world is vast, it stands to reason that... there should be a chance for encounters."

The people in the Second Division are the best at reconnaissance and surveying, and they do have a trustworthy voice in this regard.

Facing old man Yamamoto's gaze, Soi-Fong raised her head slightly and continued speaking in a tone that was neither arrogant nor humble.

"Based on the intelligence the team members sent back, we believe that Shiba Isshin will be able to contact us if conditions permit."

"But he didn't do that. Based on this behavior, we can make further deductions..."

"There are only two possibilities at the moment."

She shifted her gaze and turned to look at the other captains present, her tone extremely calm.

"First, Shiba Isshin has been killed and executed by his opponent. He has completely lost all signs of life."

"Secondly, Shiba Isshin is either unable to respond or in a deep coma... In any case, under such circumstances, the captain of the 10th Squad is certainly unable to make any response."

Apart from this, there is no other possibility.

"At the same time, we also have intelligence collected by the members of the Tenth Division in the present world."

"The fact is that it has absolutely no reference value. Shiba Isshin has completely disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth."

"Based on the above, and only representing the personal opinion of the Second Division, I propose a proposal to replace the captain."

Captain replacement.

As the name suggests, dissatisfaction and objections to the current captain have accumulated to a point that cannot be ignored.

Only then can the behavior be brought up in formal occasions.

——If it were placed in other situations, it would seem a bit shocking, but now it seems understandable.

After all, the vacancy in the position of captain of the Tenth Division is a problem that cannot be ignored.

Soi-Feng seems to be very eager to speak today, and she continues to speak even at this time.

"Although I have no problem with Captain Shiba, it is definitely not a good idea to delay it like this."

"After all, there are some very capable people in the Tenth Division. If we just let them waste time, it would be a loss."

No need to emphasize by name.

Two of the candidates have already emerged in everyone's minds.

Because just some time ago, there was an internal competition within the Tenth Division.

——The scope involved is not wide, but it has attracted enough captains to participate.

The two parties in the confrontation were Hitsugaya Toushirou and Ichimaru Gin.

Under the premise that there is no conflict between the two parties... generally speaking, this kind of "private fight" will not happen.

It’s just that the current situation is obviously different.

Because this is an internal screening for the captain of the tenth squad.

It is normal for two candidates with Bankai strength to compete on the same stage and fight for status in this way.

Although the results are not known to the public, they seem to have come to light now.

This is the theory, and the adjustment is also quite clear...there are no shortcomings or flaws at all.

However, these words are somewhat emotional when heard by others.

——What a cold statement.

This made Kyoraku Shunsui at the back couldn't help but let out a cry of approval.

"Just because I disappeared for a month, I'm going to lose my job?"

In contrast, Ukitake Jushiro beside him just closed his eyes silently and whispered.

"It's not something that's hard to understand. The more capable you are, the better you will be. This principle applies to both you and me."

This is Captain Centennial's insight, and now he is somewhat accustomed to it.

"Haha, that's true..."

Having said that, the emotion in Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"I just feel that this incident is somewhat strange. If I have time... well, I should investigate it for a while longer."

Ukitake couldn't help but glance at him.

'What did you find?'

"No, I have no idea at all."

'and you……'

"But I am somewhat curious."

Playing with the hair falling down in front of his forehead, Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes darkened slightly, and his tone was light and subtle.

'The scene was mixed with a variety of auras, and because the magnitude was too exaggerated, it was destroyed to the point where it could not be traced back.'

"But with just these things, I can still analyze some general information..."

"Not only the Shinigami, but also the Hollows and Quincy have been involved."

"Wouldn't it be a bit worrying for such a complicated situation?"

Ukitake Jushiro's expression became more subtle, and he couldn't help but raise his tone a little.

"You...didn't mention this kind of thing when you were reporting before."

"Well, don't be so nervous. I was just reporting carefully for safety reasons."

Kyoraku Shunsui put down his right hand that was rubbing his hair, and the smile on his face remained calm.

"Besides, I have something else I want to investigate, so I chose to keep it secret for now."

Selective reporting also has its own considerations for Kyoraku Shunsui.

"After all, if you just say something you don't know about, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. So..."

Until then, find a way to solve the problem yourself and then bring it to the table.

It is obviously a safer approach.

"After all, the internal situation of Seireitei is quite turbulent right now. It seems a bit unreasonable to assign other people to handle things at this time, right?"

No, no, no, this is just your opinion!
"This kind of thing should be said out loud! There is no point in not sharing information!"

Ukitake Jushiro already had some complaints about his friend, and his attitude was somewhat firm, but before he could continue arguing.

Suddenly, there was a violent coughing sound nearby.

"Cough, cough, cough... cough! Phew..."

The sound is very abrupt.

Just by hearing the noise, Kyoraku Shunsui subconsciously looked to the side.

"What's wrong with you... Did you forget to bring your medicine when you went out again?"

And after seeing Ukitake also had a surprised expression on his face.

The decadent uncle couldn't help but let out an "ah".

No, no.

The patient this time is someone else...

Kyoraku Shunsui turned his head and swept his gaze across the faces of the captains, catching many surprised expressions.

Obviously, no one expected this to happen. And a moment later...

His gaze finally fell on the 'person involved'.

The captain of the 5th Division is Shizuya Arima.

At this moment, not only were his eye sockets slightly sunken, but his body also looked thinner than usual.

His face was sallow and his expression was listless.

Even the haori that was draped over her body now looked like a coat...

He was even a little unsteady on his feet due to the coughing just now, and had to rely on Byakuya Kuchiki beside him to support him, before he could stand steadily again.

"Oh, sorry..."

Even the smirk seemed extremely forced.

Byakuya Kuchiki adheres to the principle of being polite when attending meetings and not speaking unless necessary.

At this moment, they couldn't help but frown.

"Captain Arima, if you are so unwell... why don't you choose to take a leave?"

After all, his wife is the frail and sickly type.

Now, Dabai seems to be very familiar with caring for patients.

At this moment, the person involved just responded with a helpless smile.

"I would like to, too...but, sorry, there is something I want to witness at today's meeting, so it's better for me to come here."

Although he did not get permission from Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

But times have changed, and today's captain meetings are far less serious and rigid than they were in the early days.

As long as conditions permit and the atmosphere is not too exaggerated...having some free conversation is within the permitted scope.

The then captain of the Third Division, Sosuke Aizen, pushed up his glasses and spoke in a concerned tone.

"Captain Arima, your condition... looks a little worrying."

The question was asked in a very tactful way.

After all, what you actually want to express is not that simple.

As we all know, those who can move around in Soul Society are spirits.

Generally speaking...the level distribution of the so-called spiritual pressure can also intuitively reflect the strength of a soul.

Spirits who are not well fed and clothed may become sick.

But a spirit like this has already reached the pinnacle level of spirits and possesses the highest level of spiritual pressure.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for them to get sick... (Fuzhu got sick when he was a child, so it is naturally different)

And when Aizen brought up this matter at this time, Arima Shizuka felt somewhat embarrassed.

——This is not in the script that we had discussed in advance, Master!

I just wanted to see someone who was the captain of the 10th Division in this meeting.

That's why Arima Jing forced herself to be there.

But I didn't expect that the prison warden would still play a trick on me at this time.

Only the person himself understands his symptoms, and there is actually no need for any help...it just simply takes time to adjust.

But you can see it now.

The prison master obviously didn't think so... The other party planned to take advantage of the situation to put some pressure on Arima Shizuka, and at the same time get others to pay attention to his own situation.

Although the prison warden had no ill intentions, this unexpected feeling made people feel helpless.

Yeah! Good, such unnecessary concern!
He was the captain of the 4th Squad at the time.

Unohana Retsu shifted his gaze over here, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

"Captain Arima, has this symptom lasted long?"

As he spoke, even old man Yamamoto who was not far away looked over here.

The focus of the audience belongs to...

Now that other people have become interested, there is no need to hide it anymore.

The person involved couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not something that's hard to talk about. It happened about a month ago..."

"Yes, it was around the same time that Captain Shiba disappeared."

"From that day on, I suddenly felt very weak, coughed easily, and was also accompanied by symptoms such as drowsiness..."

That's a little vague.

But looking at the other person's appearance, it is obviously not an "exaggerated" description at this moment.

Unohana Retsu nodded slightly and responded while speaking softly.

"I see... After the meeting, please come to the Fourth Division and I will help you diagnose it carefully."

Now that things have come to this, it would be too much of a concession to refuse.

Arima Shizuka could only cover her mouth and cough softly as she agreed.

"Well... Well, thank you for your help."

There was a moment of silence, and old man Yamamoto turned his gaze to the side.

Soi-Fong, who was also staring at Arima Shizuya, came back to her senses and seemed to mutter subconsciously, "Sickly thing..."

Then he spoke loudly.

"I have nothing else to say. Please vote on my proposal."

Except for matters of life and death, the Gotei 13 usually discuss matters by voting among the group.

The same is true now.

The silence did not last long as noises came one after another from the venue.

"agree."

"I agree..."

Arima Shizuka naturally also stood on the side of agreement, and judging from the results, there were only two votes that failed to agree with the proposal.

The captain of the 7th Division, Komamura Sajin.

"I'm sorry... Since life and death are uncertain, I don't think it's the best idea to give up the throne in a hurry."

Given Big Dog's temper, it's not surprising that he would say something like this.

At this moment, no one expressed incomprehension - before taking off the iron bucket helmet, Komamura Sajin's image was still a relatively mysterious type.

Anyway, he joined the team just to repay the old man Yamamoto's unfinished favor!

As for the other down vote.

Captain of the 13th Division, Ukitake Jushiro.

Fuzhu, with a pale face, pursed his lips slightly, as if he had considered for a long time before making this decision.

"I think so too..."

"Before the results are obtained, you are doing this..."

“It’s really unfair.”

Although a little unexpected.

But this does sound like something Ukitake Jushiro would say.

This guy has a lot of connections in Team 13, and it seems like he's had a lot of contact with Shiba Isshin.

It is not surprising to have such a judgment.

Because voting did not affect the outcome, Soi Bee's proposal was finally implemented.
