I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

Others, including Jushiro Ukitake, are qualified to be captains of a division, but not enough to steer the Seireitei.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto knew that Kyoraku's "arrogance" was referring to him, but although he was angry, he was also very satisfied with Kyoraku's performance.

It's fine if he has opinions about himself, as long as he can stay rational and know what he's doing.

What about you? What are your thoughts?

"Captain, I think Captain Erin's proposal is pretty good. Let's do it the way he suggested."

Yoruichi Shihōin chuckled, "After all, old man, you wouldn't think that a human with the power of a Shinigami could cause any damage to the Seireitei, would you?"

"Humph."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto snorted coldly, but did not refute Yoruichi.

Indeed, just as Yoruichi said, Captain-Commander Yamamoto didn't think a human could do anything to disrupt the balance of the three realms.

"what about you?"

"Captain-Commander, I don't understand. This is just a human who accidentally gained the power of a Shinigami. Why do we need to discuss this so seriously?"

Captain Aikawa Raibu of the Seventh Division asked in confusion.

"No, Captain Aikawa Rao, whether this human with the power of the Grim Reaper is an accident or not, let's put that aside for now."

"But this human is also a matter of great importance concerning all the Shinigami of Seireitei."

Seeing that most of the team leaders still didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, Kyoraku Shunsui had no choice but to explain it to everyone.

"Everyone knows that if a person has spiritual pressure, their child is very likely to also have spiritual pressure."

"Similarly, if a human with the power of death has offspring, his offspring are very likely to also possess the power of death..."

"This……"

Upon hearing Kyoraku Shunsui's words, all the team leaders suddenly understood.

No wonder they felt the atmosphere at this captains' meeting was so tense.

It wasn't just Captain Erin who was going against Captain-Commander Yamamoto; even Captain-Commander Yamamoto's beloved disciple, Captain Kyoraku Shunsui of the Eighth Division, sided with Captain Erin.

It turns out that what they are discussing now is not just the fate of one person, but possibly the fate of an "entire clan".

According to Captain-Commander Yamamoto, the human boy with the power of a Shinigami should be defined as a "sinner" who stole the power of a Shinigami, and he should be punished to directly cut off the possibility of another Shinigami family being born in the present world and maintain the orthodox status of the Shinigami of Seireitei.

Of course, in this world, once something happens, there will be another.

If we follow Captain-Commander Yamamoto's method, then any human found in the present world with the power of a Shinigami will become a "sinner" to be punished by the Seireitei.

If a "sinner" is not dealt with on any occasion, Soul Society may face a "great enemy"—a Shinigami who can compete with the Shinigami in Seireitei for the "legitimate" authority.

Captain Erin's proposal was to accept humans with Shinigami powers from the present world, train them as Shinigami, grant them unofficial Shinigami status, and give them the same rights and status as the Shinigami within the Seireitei.

This is equivalent to Death gaining an additional base in the mortal world.

After learning the "truth" behind this captains' meeting, the captains decided to support either Captain-Commander Yamamoto or Erin, based on their own opinions.

The voting ended quickly.

Erin's side won by a margin of four votes.

"Captain Ukitake."

"Lord Captain."

"Afterwards, compile the duties and obligations of the Grim Reaper and hand them over to Captain Erin."

"Yes."

After responding, Ukitake returned to his own line and stood in line.

Then, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at Erin: "Captain Erin, since you came up with this proposal, the task of teaching this human will be entrusted to you."

"Yes, Lord Captain."

Nodding in agreement to Yamamoto's request, Erin returned to his own ranks.

"Alright, this captain's meeting is now adjourned."

"Captain Erin, could you stay behind for a moment?"

After all the captains had left the captains' meeting room, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slowly began to speak.

"Captain Erin, you should know my real purpose in keeping you here."

"Please explain further, Commander-in-Chief."

Erin shook his head, denying that he knew what Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was thinking.

"Humph!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni snorted coldly, and regardless of whether Erin truly didn't know, slowly said, "The powerful Hollows in Hueco Mundo will be dealt with by the Shinigami of Seireitei."

"The Hollows that go to the mortal world to hunt are not very strong, and they don't have any special abilities."

"Therefore, when you teach this human Shinigami his abilities, you should mainly focus on the abilities of his Zanpakuto."

"Instant Step, just give me a pointer."

“Cultivating the path of demons is too time-consuming, so let’s skip it.”

Seeing the cold glint in Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's eyes, Erin was startled.

He knew that this was probably the bottom line for Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni to agree to his proposal.

Chapter 128 Arrest

Although he is known as the "strongest Grim Reaper in a thousand years," Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is not a reckless person.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that, in order to maintain the stability of Seireitei, Yamamoto Genryusai could become an executioner who slaughters countless people.

Just like the Empire of Light more than 800 years ago, even though the Quincy's high-end combat power was wiped out in Seireitei, Yamamoto did not let go of the task of annihilating the Quincy remnants in the present day.

Only after it was confirmed that the last remaining Quincy had signed a pact with the Shinigami, agreeing to no longer use Quincy power to destroy Hollows, did the Seireitei lift its pursuit of the living Quincy, giving the Quincy lineage a chance to breathe.

Of course, even after a few decades of respite, the Quincy lineage was reduced to a handful of members, with no adult members left...

Now, a human with the power of a Shinigami has appeared in the world. Although Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni agreed not to label this human with the power of a Shinigami as a "sinner" with Erin's proposal and Kyoraku Shunsui's support, he tried every means to weaken him.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni meant that after the human boy with the power of a Shinigami chose to become a Shinigami, he would only teach him the training of sword Zen, but not the four techniques of the Shinigami.

Even if a Shinigami has a powerful Zanpakuto, if he doesn't know the Four Shinigami Techniques, his strength won't be that great.

"Yes, I know my limits, Captain."

Erin didn't say much to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, since the Captain-Commander had already made his decision.

If I argue with him again, we might end up falling out.

……

Without keeping Erin waiting any longer, Ukitake Jushiro approached Erin in just three days.

"Captain Erin, this is a summary of the duties and obligations of the Grim Reaper."

Erin took the book handed to him by Jushiro Ukitake and flipped through it briefly. It contained nothing but praise for the Grim Reaper, emphasizing his role in dealing with various crises that threatened the world.

Furthermore, the killing of Hollows by Shinigami is called "purification," which is to atone for the Hollows' souls, allowing them to be freed and participate in the world's soul cycle.

Excellent, this is very much in line with the characteristics of the 13th Division's "purification" unit.

"besides……"

Jushiro Ukitake pulled out a wooden plaque carved with a skull.

"This is something I asked the Twelfth Division's Technology Development Bureau to make. I call it the 'Shinigami Substitute Certificate'."

"Captain Erin, if that human boy with the power of the Grim Reaper agrees to become the Grim Reaper, then give him this 'Grim Reaper Substitute Certificate'."

“Using this ‘Death Agent Certificate,’ the boy can freely switch between human and death god soul forms.”

"but……"

Jushiro Ukitake shook his head, ultimately deciding not to reveal the true power of the "Substitute Shinigami Certificate" to Erin.

Rather than letting the boy grow up, Jushiro Ukitake preferred to kill him and keep the boy's body.

After all, Jushiro Ukitake couldn't be sure what kind of ending this world would have after Lord Rei-ou's wish was fulfilled.

As the host of Lord Spirit King's right arm, Jushiro Ukitake can temporarily maintain the stability of the three realms with the power of the right arm after Lord Spirit King's death. However, Jushiro Ukitake himself knows that even the right arm of the Spirit King cannot sustain this for long.

At that time, the boy's body would come in very handy.

Of course, Jushiro Ukitake kept all these secrets buried in his heart.

In his mind, when he received the blessing of the one-eyed god, he had to take on the responsibility of being a "god".

"Yes, I understand. Captain Ukitake is very thoughtful."

After receiving the Shinigami Substitute Certificate, Erin nodded to Jushiro Ukitake.

"Captain Ukitake, give me the location of that human so I can resolve this matter sooner."

“Alright, Captain Erin, I’ll open the portal to the mortal realm for you right now. I’ve already sent a message to the members of the 13th Division stationed in the mortal realm. Once you get there, they will immediately take you to the place where that human boy lives.”

"Then, Captain Ukitake, I'll be going now."

After bidding farewell to Fukitake, Erin turned and entered the portal.

Within the rift, the Hell Butterfly flew ahead, with Erin following behind.

In Erin's eyes, this barrier was like the wall of a creature's blood vessel; although he had walked through it many times, each time it still felt eerie.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, Erin felt the passage between the two worlds begin to vibrate. He turned his head and looked back, only to find a fleshy tumor shining with a yellow light rapidly approaching him inside the passage.

This is "Kutsu," also known as the "Boundary Scavenger."

Kokutoku is an entity that severs the connection between the human world and the Soul Society in terms of time and space.

Every seven days, Kokutoku would clean up the time and space remnants between the human world and the Soul Society within the Dangai.

If a conflict occurs when entering the boundary, the time it takes to enter the other world will change.

"Was this intentional or accidental?"
