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

Chapter 40: Gotei 040
A frivolous tone and a nonchalant attitude.

It sounded like a joke that was not meant seriously, or more like an unintentional revelation of one's true nature.

A personality as elusive as a cat, this is exactly the impression that Shihouin Yoruichi has in everyone's mind.

Staring with light golden eyes, the head of Shifengyuan's attack was swift and fierce.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong? You can't even say a word? Even if you are not confident enough, it is normal to argue at this time, right?"

Or.

"If there is no one to help you, you can't do it?"

Smiling like a lioness with bared teeth, Shifengyuan Yoruichi's gaze made Gui Yancheng sweat profusely.

"If you don't mind, I can make a cameo appearance."

After Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the guy he feared second most among all the people present was the hateful head of Shihouin!
After all, the nobles are the most unreasonable and they love to abuse privileges.

Gui Yancheng, who was immersed in power and authority, was most afraid of this kind of twisted collective. At this moment, even his tone became three times lighter.

"No, no! Master Shifengyuan, I, I just want to say... all of this has a reason!"

Mako Hirako, who was standing next to her, laughed even louder.

"It's getting worse, you idiot~"

"Here, shut up! I just..."

"quiet."

It was as if a basin of cold water was poured on the expanding flames, rapidly cooling the situation that was originally on the verge of boiling.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was unable to comment on this matter.

But it was at this moment that the final decision was made.

"Gui Yancheng, your style of doing things is indeed questionable. From now on, don't do it again... That's all."

Gui Yancheng smiled with joy as if he was relieved from a heavy burden.

"Ga...ha, haha! I, I understand!"

Captain of the First Division, in charge of the Gotei 13.

The extremely majestic and taciturn old man's assertion at this moment has an effect far beyond the law.

Gui Yancheng 'escaped'.

"Really? You don't want to thank the captain at this time? You should have some manners, right~"

He wears a pink haori jacket embroidered with floral patterns, a straw raincoat on his head, and has a slight beard on his chin.

A guy who looked fancy and sloppy was looking at Gui Yancheng on the side with a smile.

"If the old man hadn't spoken for you, would you have had a chance to laugh?"

The captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, rarely spoke in meetings. Come to think of it, this was the first time he took the initiative to talk to Oni Yancheng.

It's somewhat surprising.

The reckless man was flustered and wanted to speak, but Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had already slammed the cane in his hand.

"quiet."

Even if words come to your lips, they must be broken and swallowed back - this is one of the core rules of the captain's meeting.

"Besides that, what else?"

After a moment's silence, Mako Hirako raised his right hand again.

"Ah~ Although it's not a very important matter, I'm going to inform you that I'm planning to adjust the position of vice-captain of the 5th Division and let Aizen Sosuke take this position."

The man standing next to him on the tenth floor of Fengqiao Building tilted his head and showed a puzzled expression.

"It's really not a very important matter... Isn't it something that the captain can decide whether to appoint a vice-captain?"

In other words.

This is far from being worth discussing.

Mako Hirako chuckled and showed an inexplicable smile.

"No, rather than calling it a discussion, I would rather call it a notification, right? Yes~ everyone, please take good care of my team's Vice-Captain Aizen from now on."

There is one more thing.

Mako Hirako turned to Aikawa Ratake who was standing beside her.

"Have the souls of the 11th Division members killed by Gui Yancheng that day been found?"

The other party groaned for a moment, and finally shook his head gently.

"It has completely disappeared. But this is not surprising. After all, it is not a powerful soul. It will disappear quickly if left alone."

"That's not what I wanted to say... Ah, never mind. What's going to happen next has nothing to do with the meeting, so let's leave it at that for now."

In a corner that Hirako Mako couldn't see, Urahara Kisuke had a thoughtful expression.

Feeling that the direction of the meeting was beginning to change, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni raised his cane and tapped the ground again.

"Having said that, let's end today's meeting here."

Breathe in and hold your breath.

The old man's eyes widened slightly, and he said in an unusually calm tone, "Dismiss!"

"Chengzhi!" X12
After the meeting, the captains naturally didn't have to maintain the tense atmosphere.

It is very common for a few familiar people to start chatting together and have drinking parties...

Gui Yancheng fell behind everyone.

He focused his gaze, but his body couldn't stop shaking slightly.

pain.

The wound on the shoulder seemed to have split open again... The gauze was soaked with blood and mixed with sweat, which made people feel headache and annoyed.

afraid.

Although it is a meeting, it is more like a hunting ground.

Gui Yancheng felt like a fox pretending to be a wolf, and could only be careful to pass himself off as a wolf.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Why should I be tortured like this?
After all, it was all because of that blind little devil. If he had been hacked to death directly, it wouldn't have been so troublesome!
So what's that guy's name? A student from the Shin'o Academy of Spiritual Arts? Damn it, don't think I can't catch you just because you're hiding in the school!
I'll remember this grudge!

……

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni walked in the departure passage.

Chojiro Suzu followed behind him, his expression serious like a guard made of stone.

"Hey~ Mr. Shan~"

"..."

It's a really infuriating name.

Yamamoto Genryusai stopped and stared behind him with a cold expression.

Two figures were walking quickly towards him.

Kyoraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jushiro.

Both of them are his favorite students and the captain-level figures with whom he has the closest relationship.

Different from the feeling during the meeting, Kyoraku Shunsui seemed a bit more frivolous at this moment.

"Master Shan~ You seem very cold today. Don't you have anything to say to the two of us after not seeing each other for so long?"

"I have nothing to say to a dandy like you."

Besides...

"You took the initiative to embarrass Gui Yancheng today. What are your plans?"

"Really? Wasn't I trying to excuse him?"

Ukitake Jushiro pretended to cough twice.

"Everyone present here is not blind, Chunshui..."

The person tilted his head, rubbed his chin with his right hand, and showed an interested expression.

"Well, it's a rare pleasure to see a guy like this in trouble. Besides, I'm somewhat interested in what happened that day."

The white-haired friend turned around and said.

"The boy who hurt Gui Yancheng? I heard the soldiers mention him. If I'm not exaggerating, he is indeed a talented young man... cough, cough!"

"Yes, his name is Arima Shizuya. He had a fight with Omaeda from the second squad before, and I heard he got quite the advantage."

Chunshui straightened the bamboo hat on his head, his eyes fixed on Yamamoto's back, and he smiled.

"I heard that he is extremely good at the Yuanliu that you researched, old man, and became famous by fighting for nothing."

"Why are you paying so much attention to him?"

Kyoraku Shunsui said 'hmm' inconspicuously.

"After all, there is a distant relative who has some relationship with him, so I just paid some attention to him."

"...???"

Ukitake Jushiro had no idea why.

In contrast, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni snorted deeply, making the expressions of the two people behind him more serious.

“Talent is just what others say. If you have real talent, then being polished and honed is a very necessary process.”

It is true that Team Thirteen covers everything.

But we will never accept mediocre people who are just in name only.

So, if you really have the ability... then learn, struggle, and fight as much as you can.

Until he becomes a pillar that can support the name of the Gotei.

And before that.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni still found it difficult to arouse interest in these things.
