Death: Then stood in the sky.

Amidst the swirling dust, the ferocious figure vanished from his sight, disappearing into a cluster of pristine white buildings.

"Is this the place, Yachiru?"

"No, no, it's this way!"

"Huh? Why did you change direction again!"

"Is A-Jian questioning me? You're clearly looking forward to fighting Qingqing, aren't you?" Kusajiro Yachiru grabbed his long hair, letting his body swing back and forth in the air, but she wasn't afraid at all, instead letting out bursts of cheers.

“Ah, I’ve been looking forward to fighting that guy for a long time.” Kenpachi Zaraki grinned, laughing like a wild beast. “But he always manages to avoid it with all sorts of excuses.”

"Last time, he said something strange like he was weak because he had to pay grain taxes. Pay grain taxes? What's that? But it doesn't matter anymore."

“I can feel it.”

"That guy is absolutely terrifyingly strong."

"I want to fight him, I want to cut him down, or be cut down by him."

Kenpachi Zaraki said excitedly, "This time, I won't let you have your way."

He turned around, "Hold on tight, Yachiru!"

"Hold on tight, go duck, sword sauce!"

Kusajishi Yachiru grabbed the bell in Kenpachi Zaraki's hair and laughed excitedly.

Two people with no sense of direction perfectly reached a consensus at this moment and chose the same direction.

"I would never get lost."

Kenpachi Zaraki grinned, "Just you wait, Seiji Ukitake, I'll be there in a minute!"

A wild fighting spirit surged within him; the mere thought of battle made his blood boil.

Kenpachi Zaraki laughed loudly and started running wildly.

As a result, he strayed further and further away from the area where the team leader was being assessed.

The final destination is the largest public toilet in Seireitei.

Killing each other...probably.

Chapter 108, The Ninetyth Chapter of the Hado Technique: Komamura Sajin's Instant Defeat

"Captain Komamura truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran captain. His strength and combat experience are unfathomable. Even though I went all out, I was still utterly defeated. I apologize for making you laugh at me."

Qing Si shook his hands, exhaled heavily, and said in a really angry tone.

Komamura Sajin, who was about to charge forward, paused, his eyes, hidden by his helmet, revealing a look of hesitation.

He became insecure because of what he was told.

Was I... going too far?

Is there some misunderstanding here?

Whether it's true, as Ukitake Seiji said, that he really did use all his strength, it's just that this strength didn't reach the passing grade for a captain.

Could it be that their combat power was forcibly boosted through those so-called research studies?

Komamura Sajin suddenly looked guilty.

I seem to have been a bit too harsh on myself.

Let's finish this quickly.

At least allow Seiji Ukitake to retain some dignity.

The next moment, Komamura Sajin rushed forward, so fast that the onlookers couldn't even see him.

The two swords clashed.

Without any doubt, Seiji Ukitake was once again slashed and sent flying.

This time, he was drenched in sweat and looked like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.

It's obvious that we've reached our limit.

"That should be about right."

As Aoshi controlled his body to sweat profusely and breathed heavily, his eyes remained calm and serene.

It would be too fake to admit defeat right away.

He managed to exchange a couple of blows to show he had some skill, but being completely outmatched throughout proved he wasn't yet at the captain level.

Finally, as long as you fall at the right time, no one can find fault with you.

Even the old man wouldn't do it.

Basically, the answer is always the same: I'm not as skilled as others.

"It's over, Ukitake Seiji."

Komamura Sajin's voice was deep, "Your strength is quite good, but you are not yet qualified to be a captain, at least not to me."

He strode forward and delivered another powerful, heavy blow.

And so, under everyone's gaze, Seiji Ukitake was once again sent flying.

The assessment is over.

"Koma... Captain Komamura?" The Shinigami emcee was stunned. This situation was different from what her teacher had told her.

“Unsuitable.” Komamura Sajin sheathed his Zanpakuto before continuing, “It’s probably due to his physical condition. I don’t think Ukitake is suitable to become the new Tenth Division…”

I said—

"Aren't you guys overreaching?"

As the sound faded, a violent blue spiritual pressure suddenly erupted, and the turbulent spiritual particles stirred up a gale, crashing against the surrounding barrier like a tsunami.

Click, click.

Under the shocked gazes of countless Grim Reapers and students of the Shinigami Academy, countless cracks spread across the barrier, making it teeter on the verge of collapse.

Komamura Sajin looked up in surprise, staring at the young man who had stood up again at some point.

His white hair danced wildly, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"What exactly is going on...?"

Feeling the heaviness in his body, Komamura Sajin stared in astonishment, somewhat incredulous.

I... was actually being oppressed by the other person's spiritual pressure?

Is Ukitake Seiji's spiritual pressure equal to mine, or even stronger?

Somewhere in Seireitei.

A burst of spiritual pressure erupted.

Aoji could sense that it was Nel's spiritual pressure; she was fighting, and the enemy consisted of several spiritual pressures.

Death is hunting Nel.

Although it was very faint and seemed to be blocked by some kind of barrier, it was still perceived by myself, who was fused with the Hogyoku.

This kind of thing shouldn't happen in theory.

Shiba Isshin, that old man, had already reported Nel's existence to Captain-Commander Yamamoto in advance. After he gave a reasonable excuse, Captain-Commander Yamamoto approved his suggestion and allowed Nel to stay by his side.

Therefore, it can only be some reckless fools who make the move.

Swah——

With a wave of his hand, Qing Si sent the Zanpakuto that had fallen dozens of meters away flying back into his hand, creating a gust of wind that shattered the ground into pieces.

He turned around and walked towards the barrier.

But one person stood in front of him.

It is Nekorea.

"It seems the team leader assessment isn't over yet."

Nekori looked over and grinned. "So, where do you want to go? Can you tell me? I'm really curious."

His hand landed on the Zanpakuto at his waist.

The meaning is self-evident.

I'll only say this to you once.

Aoshi gripped the hilt of his sword. He was in a terrible mood and was in a hurry to get to Nel's place, so he didn't have time to waste here.

"Don't block the way."

"Blocking the way?"

Nekori's face darkened instantly, and she sneered, "To be so disrespectful to a captain, it seems I have to teach you a lesson."

"That--"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qing Si vanished from his spot and appeared in front of Nekomaru.

"You're going to die right here."

Aoshi drew his sword.

"Did you think I would be hit by your sudden attack again?"

Kushari held his Zanpakuto horizontally, his muscles already enhanced by injections, ready with a backup plan to deal with this attack.

Swords clashed, sparks flying.

"That force!"

A terrifying, overwhelming force swept through the blade, and Nekomaru stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Is this still the same Ukitake Seiji who was completely suppressed by Komamura Sajin?

Moreover, he also injected himself with drugs that could strengthen his muscles and increase his strength!

Bang!

The ground was smashed, creating a crater, and Nekori tumbled and flew out.

"Tsk, you're really angry."

On the stage, Kyoraku Shunsui held down his straw hat, which was about to be blown away by the wind, and looked deep in thought.

He knew that Ukitake Seiji was truly enraged, and not just in a normal way.

We've known each other for so long.

Kyoraku Shunsui had never seen Ukitake Seiji show this side of himself before.

Very rare.

But it's also terrifying.

Because the more silent one is, the more noise they will cause when they are angry.

"But why?"

Isn't the plan to cheat in reverse to avoid becoming the team leader?

Why are you suddenly taking it so seriously now that it's almost over?

For some reason, Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly felt uneasy.

There haven't been any accidents during the team leader assessment for many years.

From the very beginning of the team leader assessment system, even if someone was injured during the assessment, it was usually just some ordinary flesh and bone injuries.

Yes, bone injuries are a common type of injury.

Because for Shinigami, even if they lose an arm or a leg, as long as the Fourth Division is there, they can be healed.

If all else fails, there's always Retsu Unohana to come and cover for us.
