Death: Then stood in the sky.

Theoretically speaking, there is nothing to worry about, and nothing unexpected will happen during the team leader's assessment.

This is just a show.

But Kyoraku Shunsui began to feel uneasy, sensing that his behavior was threatening to spiral out of control.

Let's just keep watching...

......

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure rushed forward at lightning speed, mercilessly slashing down at Kurotsuchi, who had just stood up while holding his Zanpakuto.

鐺——

The firelight flickered in and out of the dust.

Komamura Sajin swung down heavily, blocking the falling Zanpakuto. The moment they collided, another terrifying wave of wind erupted, even cracking the surrounding ground in several places.

The strike was caught.

And they didn't back down an inch!

Komamura Sajin's wolf eyes widened beneath his helmet.

It's important to know that even among the Gotei 13, his strength is among the top!

At that moment, his attack was blocked head-on by Ukitake Seiji!

What is this power all about?

Could this be Ukitake Seiji's true strength, and that he's been hiding his true power all along?

why?

What are the benefits of failing an assessment?

And in such an embarrassing way?

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Komamura Sajin questioned, "Ukitake, weren't your attacks a bit too ruthless? If I hadn't blocked your attack, Captain Kurotsuchi would probably have been injured by you."

Aoji looked at him. "Captain Komamura, please move aside."

"Please forgive me, but I cannot comply."

Komamura Sajin's tone was serious, not joking, "Since this is your true strength, then the captain's assessment should continue."

Team leader assessment, team leader assessment, team leader assessment.

Screw the team leader assessment!

I'm annoyed, extremely annoyed.

Angry, extremely angry.

Qing Si had always believed that as long as he hid himself well enough, no one would target him.

So he endured it, never showing off his talent despite his abilities, and passed the entrance exam at the Shinigami Academy.

So he yielded, and even when some people tried to take it from him, he never cared.

But at the moment.

Aoshi suddenly felt incredibly stupid.

Although Shiba Isshin, that old man, isn't very bright and often says things like "I don't understand what you're saying," he's right about one thing.

Only by appropriately demonstrating one's strength can one earn respect.

And now, it's not too late to realize this.

To hell with giving in!

Patience, to hell with patience!

If you can't even protect the people around you, what's the point of becoming stronger?

Aoshi gripped the knife tightly, his mind completely clear.

At this moment, power surged from within the body.

So let these people in front of you see your determination!

Aoshi stepped forward again and drew his sword with lightning speed.

Clang clang clang!

The two were locked in combat. Komamura Sajin felt the chilling power and gripped his sword with both hands, trying to overpower Ukitake Seiji with his physical strength and power.

As Qing Si's feet sank into the ground, pieces of it crumbled, and he drew his sword and slashed upwards.

Next.

Komamura Sajin's eyes widened as his body was instantly thrown upwards by the overwhelming force, landing tens of meters in the air. With his feet firmly planted in the sky, he revealed a solemn expression for the first time.

The power was suppressed.

"You're kidding, right?"

Komamura Sajin looked at his hand holding the sword.

It was trembling, and blood had even seeped through its white feather coat.

That's a sign that the muscles have been torn and strained due to excessive force, with all the capillaries ruptured and bleeding.

It's inevitable to strain your muscles when you exert almost all your strength.

Ukitake Seiji's power was beyond imagination, completely overwhelming him when he unleashed his full strength. That terrifying power even exacerbated the muscle tearing in his arm.

"You seem a bit embarrassed."

The sound rang in my ears.

Komamura Sajin immediately turned his head to look.

At some point, a black man with dreadlocks and wearing goggles stood beside him.

“It’s Tosen.” Komamura Sajin breathed a sigh of relief.

Captain of the Ninth Division, Kaname Tosen.

His closest friend.

He was also one of the team leaders in charge of this assessment.

Tosen descended from the sky and landed on the ground. "Ukitake Seiji, you went too far. During the captain's assessment, you actually tried to kill the captain. I think you need to be locked up in jail to reflect on your actions."

The Ninth Division is the prison and order of the Seireitei, where most of the criminals on trial are imprisoned.

Only the most serious cases are sent to the Maggot Nest and the True Central Underground Prison.

Aoshi flicked his sword, his gaze calm, and said, "Get out of the way."

At this moment, Kurenai stood beside Tosen Kaname. "Why are you suddenly so agitated? Has something happened that I don't know about? Or are you worried about something?"

After making a sarcastic remark, he suddenly laughed strangely, "The captain's assessment isn't over yet, so you can't go anywhere."

Tosen didn't say anything, but his meaning was clear.

At this moment, they reached a kind of unspoken understanding.

That is, the assessment will continue.

Aoshi paused for a second, then called out, "Then, everyone lie down."

Step forward again.

One person against three.

A fierce wind howled overhead, and Tosen Kaname moved in as if by teleportation, his sword already drawn and slashing down.

"Single shield".

Qing Si didn't even look up.

The slash struck a transparent spiritual pressure shield, causing Tosen Kaname's gaze to momentarily freeze.

He had seen this move a few days ago.

The attacks of the ethereal white were also blocked by this spiritual pressure shield.

So, is this the optimized and modified version of the void?

Tosen adjusted his body and brought down another slash, but it struck a layer of spiritual pressure shield once again.

No blind spots?

His pupils contracted.

"Successful!"

With a ferocious grin, Nekomaru thrust forward with his sword. After being shattered by the Arrancar named Nel, he was rebuilt by Nekomaru.

The current Jizo statue won't be so easily destroyed!

Snapped--

The blade was held in the palm of his hand.

"Nani?"

Nekori looked shocked.

His own Zanpakuto, Hibiki, was used to kill Jizo, but he was captured by the other side?

And it didn't break through the defense?

What is the situation with this level of defense?

Nekomaru's face turned somewhat grim as he tried to retreat, but the lightning-streaked blade had already fallen.

and many more!

When was this cut made?

The surging killing intent, mixed with excruciating pain, left Kurotsuchi, who was gripping the Zanpakuto, with nowhere to retreat and took the full force of the blow head-on.

puff-

In an instant, a wound that almost pierced diagonally across the body appeared, and a large amount of blood spurted out.

With a thud.

Nekoli stared blankly and collapsed to the ground.

"Hey, are you kidding me? Captain Nekomamushi got slashed down with one blow?"

"Is this Ukitake Seiji's true strength?"

"Shouldn't there only be one examiner for the team leader assessment? Why are all three team leaders participating? What's going on?"

"So strong!"

The onlookers, all of whom were stunned, were bewildered by the sudden turn of events.

Is this still the same Ukitake Seiji who was being suppressed before?

"As expected of Captain Seiji!" Tanaka Shichika's eyes lit up.

Upon hearing this, Hitsugaya Toshiro sighed helplessly, "To be clear, he's not our captain yet."

"You still love nitpicking." Tanaka Nanase remarked, becoming even more excited. "But by all accounts, this level of skill is more than enough to be a captain."

He felt that Ukitake Seiji becoming the new captain of the 10th Division was a foregone conclusion.

"Captain Nie!"

With a loud shout, Komamura Sajin descended from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

His eyes blazed with fury as he shouted, "Ukitake, what are you thinking? Why did you hit Captain Kurotsuchi so hard!"

"What on earth are you thinking?!"

Seiji gripped the hilt of his sword and retorted, "Captain Komamura, haven't I already said this? Get out of my way."

"Stop joking around!" Komamura Sajin was furious. He would never tolerate such a disrespectful act against the rules in Seireitei. "I will make you realize your mistake!"

As a loyal and righteous man, Komamura Sajin must make Ukitake Seiji understand what the glory of the Seireitei is.
