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

Chapter 39: Gotei Gathering

"Um...thank you for taking care of me these days."

The other party remained silent.

Arima Shizuka could only scratch the corner of her mouth and smile awkwardly.

"Also, could you please convey a message to Captain Unohana? Thank you for her care during this period..."

The other party paused, then half turned his head, revealing an expression of disgust.

"Shouldn't this sentence be put first?"

Arima Shizuka understood it all at once.

I guess he is another fanboy of Unohana Retsu...

Arima Shizuya was busy with thoughts, while on the other side, Unohana Retsu, who was riding the Nishizuku to his destination, had also landed.

This is a spacious and deep courtyard, and it is also a gathering place that Unohana Retsu is extremely familiar with.

The soldiers who had been waiting here for a long time stood on both sides with solemn expressions. They waited for Unohana Retsu to sheath his Zanpakutō and then walked forward slowly.

Bend down and bow.

"Captain Unohana, please come this way..."

"Well, thank you all for your hard work."

It is just a routine matter, but it still retains a sense of solemnity.

This is based on the philosophy of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and it is also the principle that all outsiders who come here should abide by.

Unohana Retsu is naturally not excluded.

Under the guidance of the team members, Unohana Retsu drove straight in and finally arrived at a spacious main hall.

There were dozens of human figures among them, tall, short, fat, thin... with different body shapes, and even incompatible temperaments, all standing side by side at this moment.

So they turned their eyes and witnessed the last captain who arrived.

No one spoke.

Only the old man sitting on the high platform slowly opened his eyes at this moment.

He has a skinny body and a white beard.

The cane in his hand was wrinkled like skin, highlighting his old age.

But even so.

The light in the old man's eyes was still vivid and bright. He stared at Unohana Retsu who had just entered the room, then moved his gaze around and finally spoke in a deep voice.

"Everyone is here, let's get started."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

He dropped the wooden stick in his hand, and the crisp sound echoed.

The irregular meeting of the Gotei 13 is held at this moment.

"First, Mr. Suzuki Chojiro will summarize the work done during this period. Please focus on your own related work."

Vice-captains are generally not eligible to attend captains' meetings.

But Vice Captain Suzube is a special case after all. He has been Mr. Yamamoto's deputy for many years, and his ability and professionalism have long been recognized by everyone.

Take a half step forward.

The deputy captain of the Sparrow Department, who had a small black mustache, wore a high-necked shirt and had a gentlemanly style, began to summarize various recent contents.

It didn’t take long, just a dozen minutes of written report.

After completing the content of this routine meeting, Yamamoto groaned, indicating that the agenda had entered the next stage.

"That's good. You should all work hard and do your best for the Gotei movement."

"Now the important matter is done."

"Is there anything that needs to be discussed?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's voice was calm and steady, and he made his initial declaration as if to open the meeting.

"Just tell me what you want to say."

"Chengzhi!" X12
No matter how rebellious or disrespectful a person is, at this moment they will all look solemn and give a corresponding response.

This is the majesty of the Gotei 13, and it is also the consensus of everyone.

There was a brief silence.

But it was soon broken, and a figure on the side of the queue spoke after pondering for a while.

"Well... although saying this may bring shame to someone, it is my duty and I have to speak out today."

The one who spoke was a smart man with a round afro and white-framed sunglasses.

He took a half step forward, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and spoke with a rather disdainful tone.

"Four days ago, a troublemaker started a commotion in the inner city, causing quite a commotion..."

"As for who it is, I won't name them. I hope I can confess."

The captain of the 7th Division, Aikawa Luowu, said so.

More than half of the eyes were focused on one side at this moment.

Gui Yancheng, who was standing near the end and daydreaming, couldn't help but be startled.

"Ah?!" Gui Yancheng didn't want to attract attention in such a place, so his reaction was quite big.

"It's just a few conflicts, nothing more! Why are you making such a fuss about it?"

"This isn't the first time this has happened. As a member of the Inner Court Guard, this kind of thing is really a headache for us! Who do you think is always there to clean up your mess?!"

He responded with a tone no less angry than Gui Yancheng's roar.

Aikawa Luowu, he had no intention of giving the other party any face.

"Gu..."

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Gui Yancheng's forehead.

I am used to being arrogant and domineering in my daily life, and at times like this, I don’t know how to interact with people on an equal footing.

"And I heard that the person who fought with you was just a student of the Shinō Spiritual Academy."

The person who interrupted had a head full of golden hair. He had his arms around his chest, stirring his hair with his right hand, with a slightly sarcastic smile on his face.

"I took the initiative to pick a fight but ended up getting hurt. We even have to discuss this in such a serious setting..."

"Hehe, just thinking about it makes me want to crawl into the ground. It's so ugly."

The captain of the third squad, Fuhashi Loujuro, said so.

Hey!
Even though I really want to curse back.

But under Yamamoto's watch, this "confrontation" can only be restrained by reason and rules.

Under siege.

But considering that the person himself is not very popular, he should not be too timid at this moment.

After all, other people’s opinions are not important. The most important thing is not to let Yamamoto look down on you.

Gui Yancheng waved his right hand angrily and replied fiercely.

"I just didn't use my real skills! And that kid is so slippery... Oh, he must have mastered the Shikai!"

"So what you're saying is that if you want to take down a student who has just learned how to release his Zanpakutō, you still need to concentrate fully?"

A frivolous, playful voice, as if enough to make one's veins bulge just by hearing it, came from the side.

The captain of the fifth squad, Mako Hirako, smiled ostentatiously.

"You are the captain, but you behaved like a team member. You are really incompetent, aren't you?"

He already looked nonchalant, and now his sarcastic temperament was even more evident.

"Even if you don't mention the fact that you're picking fights, you already have a bad reputation. You've killed a lot of team members so far, right?"

"They didn't die at the hands of a Hollow or the target of the mission, but they lost their lives to you. Hey, what do you regard the lives of your teammates as? Your personal assets?"

"Well, although the captain does have the job of disciplining the team members, to be honest..."

"Everyone must hate a guy like you who is so arbitrary."

Mako Hirako bared his teeth and raised his right hand high, shouting.

"So, there should be people who agree, right?"

A moment of silence.

A figure who had been silent until now raised his right hand and spoke in a slightly uneasy tone.

"that……"

Kisuke Urahara.

Although he has a beard and is dressed like a mature uncle, he now has an expression as if he is trying to please others.

But...what he said made Gui Yancheng much more nervous.

“I think this is not a good approach.”

The content of the speech is not very important. The most important thing at this moment is to express your attitude.

Four people gave their opinions.

This situation is unprecedented in the past.

Why did it develop into this?
Have I done something evil?
I've been through this before! Why am I being scolded by these people this time?

Gui Yancheng's face was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't know whether it was because of the pain from the wound or because he was simply frightened by the situation...

It was at this time.

The slender figure standing beside Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni delivered the 'fatal blow'.

"You lost to a guy who is not even as good as a team member, but you are still here making excuses to try to justify your past crimes... You really seem a bit hopeless."

Shihouin Yoruichi.

Unlike her previous simple attire, she was now wearing a haori that symbolized captaincy. She crossed her arms across her chest and raised her chin slightly.

"Since you are the 11th Division, which is based on strength, your actions so far naturally have their reasons."

"The one with the biggest fist is the most powerful! A squad dedicated to warriors needs a guy like you who is full of fighting spirit."

"But then again, you lost to an unknown kid like that, and now you're trying to make excuses for yourself in such a twisted way... Hey, don't you feel a little bit ashamed?"

The high-spirited woman chuckled and said something that sent a chill down Gui Yancheng's spine.

"If you still have any sense of shame, how about committing suicide here?"
