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

Chapter 79: Yamamoto's Small Group
Self introduction.

There is Ma Shizuya!

Shinō Spiritual Academy, first year!

It's a student!

……

Several people present looked at each other, and at this moment they all showed a somewhat strange expression.

"Haha, all in all he is a very energetic young man."

Ukitake Jushiro's ability to smooth things over is indeed extraordinary.

"Well, being frank is also a kind of demeanor."

Chojiro Suzuki took a sip of his red tea with emotion.

Kyoraku Shunsui was watching with great joy, but Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was the only one who sat there expressionless, with no sign of sadness or joy at all.

Don't think the 'introduction' is too simple. After all, as the person involved, this is all I can say.

Should we also add 'Employee No. 002 of Aizen Co., Ltd.', 'Gold Member of the Standing in the Sky Club', 'One of the future angel investors of Hueco Mundo', 'Member of the first line of the Fashion Front' and so on?
Don't even think about it. If you dare to open your mouth, I will definitely catch you and slice you up...

Long wait.

Old man Yamamoto sighed as if he had given up on something.

The old man waved his sleeves lightly.

"Since you are a freshman, you should not be too harsh on me. It's okay today, but I just need to remember to behave better in the future."

He pointed to one side with his skinny right hand and spoke in a low voice.

"Take a seat."

"Oh~ Old Man Shan seems to be very talkative today, please hurry over."

Kyoraku Shunsui patted Arima Shizuya's shoulder with a smile, like a guy passing notes to his friends in the exam room.

Still a little nervous though.

But this is not the time to show your weakness.

After all, the purpose of going to various teams is to get in touch with these "famous people" more.

Isn't this the opportunity I've always dreamed of? There's no reason to back down.

"excuse me."

Nodding in return, Arima Shizuka slowly walked forward and sat down next to Chojiro Suzuki carefully and cautiously.

The deputy captain of the first team, who was dressed quite exquisitely, did not move, but just slowly closed his eyes at this moment.

"Young man, the correct sitting posture is questionable."

"……Uh?"

"The back muscles are not straight, even though it is OK to put your hands on your knees. But we made some minor adjustments to the Yuanliu. How much do you remember?"

What a sudden pop test.

But fortunately, Arima Shizuka is not an uneducated guy.

The person concerned quickly adjusted his posture, placed his hands on his knees, and while bending them inward, he slightly opened his arms and made a somewhat tense movement.

Suzuki Chojiro's smile deepened.

"Yes, you are much smarter than the idiot who brought you here."

Kyoraku Shunsui, who was chatting and joking with Ukitake, uttered an "ah" and showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Senior Quebu, isn't this kind of behavior of pulling others down too much?"

The delicate mustache chuckled and shook his head calmly.

"No, using you as a target is the perfect example. Otherwise... Genryusai-sama is not just a bystander."

The old man was indeed casting a rather contemptuous look towards Kyoraku Shunsui.

"Bad conduct and idleness."

"Ahahaha, I got scolded by the old man in the mountain again~"

Looking at Kyoraku Shunsui smiling foolishly while refilling his tea, Arima Shizuka beside him couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Looking at the entire Gotei 13, I'm afraid this guy is the only one who has the confidence to ignore Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's rebuke... As for Chojiro Suzuki.

This character, who has a very low presence in the original work, has been with Genryūsai for a thousand years. In terms of seniority, he is indeed an elder figure to Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro.

There is indeed some truth in scolding at this time.

So are these the people who made up Yamamoto Genryusai’s small circle?

This result is not surprising at all. After all, when there are many people, there will be all kinds of differences.

The behavior of people sticking together for warmth seems to be common sense nowadays.

Any prison warden would feel lonely, so wouldn't this old man who had a murderous habit thousands of years ago be the same?
"Speaking of which, Arima-kun, you probably don't know what this gathering represents yet, right?"

The one who spoke was Ukitake Jushiro.

Just like his appearance, his tone was also quite calm, and he almost had the word "friendly" painted on his face.

Arima Shizuya nodded seriously and replied softly.

"Yes……"

"It's true. I knew Chunshui wasn't a qualified leader."

Shaking his head with emotion, Ukitake Jushiro showed a peaceful smile and continued.

"This is actually a personal gathering of Master Yuanliuzai. At the beginning, it was just a conversation between him and himself. It was a special day set to commemorate something."

"After that...because this kind of strange behavior happens every year, everyone just gets together."

"After all, a lively atmosphere makes people seem more popular, which is better than a quiet and deserted one... What do you think, Arima-kun?"

While making a statement, you will appropriately "ask for" the other party's opinion.

Ukitake Jushiro is indeed a very well-educated person.

"Well...if it were me, I would probably think so too."

Old man Yamamoto behind him snorted silently, then turned his gaze and stared outside the courtyard beside him.

"have a finger in the pie."

"I am just taking advantage of these once-a-year opportunities to recall some of the past."

"The one who was cut down and turned into ashes."

"He was killed and died with hatred in his heart."

"The blood and iron evaporated under the light and heat, like ash clinging to my bones, staining my body drop by drop."

"Whenever I think of this day, I feel a dull pain in my body."

As he spoke these plain words, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's expression did not change at all.

But at this moment he moved his lips and then spoke slowly.

"Death is a sin, death is suffering... You should take care of yourself. At the same time, please remember not to take your own life lightly."

What was said was a bit complicated and abstract. Arima Shizuya was still thinking about it, but Kyoraku Shunsui, who was sitting opposite him, was already grinning at his friend.

"It's hard to understand, isn't it? That's why old people are hard to get along with..."

No, no, no, please keep your voice down a bit.

I can hear it here...

"You can't pretend you didn't hear that, Captain Kyōraku."

The sliding door behind him was slowly opened, and Unohana Retsu, wearing a haori, stood outside the door with a loving smile on her face.

"Sorry, Captain. I'm a little late because of something important."

"It doesn't matter."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Since we are not going to pursue responsibility, let’s get back to the topic.

Unohana Retsu looked at Kyōraku Shunsui, whose expression began to tense, and spoke word by word.

"Captain Kyoraku, what did you just say?"
