Death's Frozen Throne

　　Matsumoto Ranju walked directly to the door, but did not intend to open the door, but kicked it directly.

　　"boom!!"

　　With a loud bang, the door of the captain's office was directly kicked open by Matsumoto Ranju.

　　Then Matsumoto Ranju walked in with a relaxed and casual look, and Shiba Isshin followed closely behind.

　　"Oh, you two are here, it's slow enough."

　　Hearing the sound of kicking the door, Toushiro, who was sitting behind the desk, looked up and said somewhat casually.

　　Toushiro has long been accustomed to Matsumoto's habit of kicking the door, so he didn't make a fuss.

　　Afterwards, Toushiro sorted out the thick stack of documents in his hand, and said to Shiba Isshin and Matsumoto Ranju with some dissatisfaction: "When you two really know how to pick, I have already processed all the documents, and you will come back."

　　"Oh oh oh oh oh-- !!"

　　Hearing Toshiro saying that the documents were all processed, Zhibo couldn't help shouting excitedly that the documents were all processed, so he didn't have to work, even though he basically never worked.

　　After 09, Zhibo rushed to Toushiro's side again and again, patted Toushiro on the shoulder again and again and said, "Well done, Toushiro!! He really deserves to be the next captain of our tenth division!!"

　　After hearing Shiba Isshin's words, Matsumoto Ranku said in dissatisfaction: "Hey, hey! Captain, the next captain of the tenth division should be me, right - in terms of rank!!"

　　In name, Matsumoto Ranju is the vice-captain of the tenth division. If the tenth division were to elect the next captain, Matsumoto Ranju, as the vice-captain, would indeed have a higher priority than Toushiro, who was the third-seat.

　　Of course, it is only nominally taller than Toshiro. If nothing else, the next captain of the tenth division is Toshiro.

　　And Zhibo Yixin looked at Matsumoto Ranju speechlessly and said, "What are you talking about, Ranju, if someone like you becomes the captain, the whole team will collapse!"

　　And Toushiro also fell down, saying: "The captain is right, the position of the next captain of the tenth division is of course mine. As for Matsumoto, if you want to be the captain, you should learn the swastika first."

　　Seeing Toushiro and Shiba teaming up to 'bully' himself, Matsumoto Ranju immediately.

　　He stepped forward, grabbed Toshiro by the collar, stared fiercely at Toshiro and said, "Hey! Toshiro!! Even you, what are you talking about!! Of course I'll be the captain! The vice-captain is here to take over!"

　　Of course, Matsumoto Ranju is just talking and joking, she is not someone who cares about power.

　　When Toushiro graduated from the Shinoshu Academy just now, Matsumoto Ranki invited Toushiro to join the tenth division, but then he encountered a case where the first team invited Toushiro to serve as the vice-captain.

　　However, Toshiro finally chose the tenth division as the third seat.

　　Matsumoto Ranju has always been concerned about this matter, thinking that if he invites Toushiro, Toushiro will get better development.

　　Therefore, when Toushiro first came to the tenth division, Ben Ranju also thought about giving up his vice-captain position to Toushiro, but Toushiro refused.

　　"Hey! Ranju, you have to be appropriate and bully Toushiro-heh"

　　Shiba Yixin was about to stop Matsumoto Ranju from 'bullying' Toushiro, but suddenly screamed in surprise.

　　"Have you seen the buns I put here, Toushiro?"

　　Shiba asked Toushiro wholeheartedly.

　　"Cough cough."

　　Hearing Shiba Yixin's words, Toushiro coughed, then patted Matsumoto Ranju's hand holding his collar, and said solemnly: "Don't worry about such trivial matters, Captain, the reason why I asked Matsumoto to call you back this time. , because there is an important matter to discuss with you."

　　Toushiro then picked out a specially marked document from the thick stack of documents, and then said to Zhibo Yixin: "Captain, this document is"

　　"Aiya, let's talk about the steamed buns first! Did you see the steamed buns that I hid there specially and look forward to eating?"

　　Shiba interrupted Toushiro's words with one heart.

　　"No road race! Things like steamed buns are not important at all right now!"

　　Toshiro was a little embarrassed and said.

　　Zhibo asked perseveringly, "Don't worry about whether it's important or not, answer me where the buns are first"

　　"I ate the buns!! What's wrong! You have an opinion!!"

　　Toushiro shouted in dissatisfaction.

　　Zhibo Yixin had such an expression as expected: "You really ate the steamed buns! Why do you want to fool you? You are a bad person!"

　　Dong Shilang said a little tiredly: "Let's not talk about the buns, okay? I came to you this time because I have something important to tell you."

　　Speaking of which, Toushiro asked solemnly, "Do you remember the report from two months ago, Captain?

　　"In Naruki City, a medium-sized city, a death god who was in charge of it died unexpectedly two months ago."

　　Toshiro continued.

　　Zhibo thought deeply: "Ah—it seems that there is such a thing, but the specific reason is still under investigation."

　　"That's right, that... City's report from last month came up"

　　"Two more death gods died last month, and the cause is still unknown!"

　　Toshiro said solemnly.

　　Hearing these 517 li, Zhibo turned around without saying a word, wanting to leave.

　　Matsumoto Ranju hurriedly asked: "Hey! Captain, where are you going?"

　　"I'm going to Naruto City, I'll leave the rest to you, Toushiro, and Ranju!"

　　Zhibo waved his hands with his back to the two of them.

　　"Hey! Now! Alone! You wait for me"

　　Matsumoto Ranju immediately.

　　block the way.

　　"Right! I'll probably be back the day after tomorrow, so tomorrow's work will be handed over to the two of you."

　　Zhibo Yixin said immediately.

　　Seeing that Zhibo was doing his own thing, Toshiro couldn't help but stop him and said, "Captain, don't mess around. You should report this kind of thing to the captain."

　　But before Toushiro finished speaking, Shiba Isshin's figure disappeared.

　　Seeing this situation, Matsumoto Ranju couldn't help complaining: "The captain is really, Toshiro! Let's go and chase the captain back together!"

　　"No, let it go."

　　Toshiro thought for a while, but gave up and went after Zhibo.

　　"Why Toshiro?"

　　Matsumoto Ranju wondered.

　　In the opinion of Matsumoto Ranju, Toushiro should pursue Zhibo Yixin together with himself, and can't let Zhibo Yixin go wild.

　　"Three death gods died mysteriously in a row, so the captain judged that this investigation was very dangerous, so he decided to go out in person to find out the truth of this matter."

　　Toshiro explained.

　　Matsumoto Ranju frowned and said: "Of course I know that kind of thing! So it should be"

　　"That's why you should wait here!"

　　Toushiro Toushiro interrupted Matsumoto Ranju's words.

　　"When something so big happens, someone always needs to investigate."

　　Toshiro continued.

　　"Then I'll go with you too. If the captain is alone, I'm a little worried."

　　Matsumoto Ranju said.

　　However, Toshiro objected: "No, Matsumoto, you should stay here honestly, although this sentence is not very pleasant, but you should also be clear in your heart that your current strength is far from strong enough, even if you go to ask for it. It will only become a burden to the captain."

　　After hearing Toushiro's words, Matsumoto Ranku couldn't help being silent.

　　Although I don't want to admit it, Matsumoto Ranju has to say that although his strength is not bad among the vice-captains, it's nothing more than that. If there is a crisis, even if he is there, it will not help, but it will drag Shiba Yixin.

　　In fact, Toushiro also has some doubts about the strength of Matsumoto Ranju.

　　It stands to reason that at the beginning of the plot, compared with other vice-captains, Matsumoto Ranju has a relatively deep seniority, but later with the development of the plot, Asanjing Renji, Kuchiki Rukia and others have made breakthroughs one by one, and their strength has improved greatly. , Became a captain-level or even a super-captain-level existence, but Matsumoto Ranju has always been a vice-captain-level strength, and there is no major improvement.

　　Regarding this point, Toushiro also had some speculations. In order to collect souls with the power of death to make Bengyu, Aizen seriously injured the young Matsumoto Ranju. This is why Ichimaru Gin chose to go undercover with Aizen. The reason for wanting revenge for Matsumoto Ranju.

　　Therefore, Toushiro guessed that Matsumoto Ranju might have been injured in that incident, so it is difficult to break through to the captain level.

　　After all, Shinigami's strength and Zanpakutō are closely related to the soul. If the soul has been severely damaged, it is difficult for Shinigami's strength to improve too much.

　　If Toushiro's guess is true, it would be a rare thing for Matsumoto Ranju to become a vice-captain-level reaper, but there is little hope of breaking through to the captain's level.

　　After Matsumoto Ranju calmed down, he said to Toushiro: "Toushiro, you are right, if I go, it will indeed cause trouble for the captain, otherwise you should go, the captain alone, I'm still a little worried."

　　Matsumoto Ranju is still very confident in Toushiro's strength, although he doesn't know how strong Toushiro is, but in Matsumoto Ranju's view, at least he is much stronger than Shiba Isshin, who is the captain.

　　After Toushiro heard Matsumoto Ranju's words, he didn't take it seriously: "Matsumoto, you underestimate the captain, the captain's strength is very strong, even among all the captains of the Gotei Thirteen Team, he can stabilize the team. There are not many who have beaten him, so even if one person investigates, nothing should happen.

　　Although Toshiro is confident that his current strength is definitely stronger than Zhi, he will not underestimate Zhibo Yixin.

　　As the protagonist of "Grim Reaper" Kurosakiichi, the strength of Shiba Isshin is definitely not that simple.

　　When Toshiro just joined the tenth team, Zhibo Yixin's strength was only at the peak of the captain's level, but later Toshiro served as the virtual circle expedition.

　　The commander-in-chief of the army fought in the virtual circle and successfully broke through to the super-captain rank during the battle, but when Toushiro returned to the Soul Realm again, he accidentally broke through to the super-captain rank.

　　I don't know if it was Zhibo Haiyan's sacrifice that stimulated him, or when it was time for him to break through, in short Zhibo succeeded in breaking through to the super captain level.

　　And now more than ten years have passed, how much the strength of Zhibo Isshin has improved, even Toushiro is not very clear, because over the years Zhibo Isshin has basically not shown his strength in front of others.

　　But what is certain is that Shiba Isshin's strength is definitely in the forefront even among the captains of Gotei Thirteen.

　　Matsumoto Ranju said somewhat unexpectedly: "Is the captain really that strong!"

　　In the eyes of others, Shiba is the captain of the Gotei Thirteen Team, and his strength must be very strong, but that...is compared to the ordinary Shinigami other than the captain.

　　Since Shiba Isshin always looks sloppy, it's hard to believe how strong he is compared to other captains.

　　But Shiro Toshiro nodded and said, "Well, in the Soul Realm, only a few veteran captains such as Captain Yamamoto and Captain Unohana are the only ones who can outperform the captain. The others are not captains."
