Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 410 Soul Society, Here I Come!

Soul Society: Seireitei.

All the captains were gathered at the 12th Division's inspection office.

The Twelfth Division's main responsibility right now is to monitor the real world; they haven't yet established any subordinate agencies like a Technology Development Bureau.

"The spiritual pressure is gone?" Kyoraku Shunsui asked in surprise, looking at the monitoring device.

The other captains also looked somewhat surprised and uncertain. Not only had the spiritual calamity in the present world subsided, but the spiritual pressure of all six captains, including the Captain-Commander, had also disappeared!

What's going on?

Could it be that the captain and his men perished together with that calamity?

"What about Hueco Mundo?" Shutara Senjumaru raised an eyebrow and asked softly.

"We have almost no means of observing the virtual world, so we cannot make a judgment at the moment," said Kiryuki.

"Don't worry too much. The Captain-Commander and Captain Unohana have both gone. I really can't imagine what kind of spiritual disaster could prevent them from coming back," Ukitake Jushiro comforted everyone after thinking for a moment.

The captains of the four noble families may vary in strength and that doesn't mean much, but Unohana Yachiru and Yamamoto Genryusai are the representatives of the Gotei 13's strength. How could they all be killed in such a short time?

"Ukitake is right," said Sujiba Seigen of the Fifth Division calmly. "Whether it's the Captain-Commander or the other captains, they haven't truly and fully released their spiritual pressure until it completely disappears from the human world. There's no doubt about that. Therefore, we can conclude that the situation might not be as critical as we imagine!"

If the six captains had fully unleashed their spiritual pressure in the mortal world, the Kyoto Spiritual Land would probably have been destroyed, and the situation wouldn't be what it is now.

Just as the captains were discussing what had happened, another monitoring device for Seireitei showed that the spiritual pressure of the Captain-Commander and the others, who had just disappeared, had returned to Seireitei.

"See, it's solved!" Ukitake Jushiro said with a smile.

But just as the smile spread across his face, he froze for a moment, because the sign showed that there were six people when they went, but how come there were seven when they came back?

Moreover, it was a spiritual pressure that was completely unrecorded, and judging from the monitoring level, it was even stronger than the Captain-Commander's spiritual pressure!?

"What's going on!?" Kyoraku Shunsui asked, looking at the monitoring device with a bewildered expression.

"What can we learn here? Let's go to the headquarters and see for ourselves." Norabei of the Third Division waved his hand and said.

Soon, the captains quickly arrived at the First Division's barracks, which is also the headquarters.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw the four noble captains and Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai introducing the Seireitei to a figure I had never seen before.

Furthermore, Captain Unohana exuded a chilling murderous aura, her expression extremely displeased, as if she might draw her sword at any moment. This caused many of the arriving captains to feel a chill in their hearts, and their expressions became much more restrained, fearing that they might provoke this unprecedented villain of Soul Society.

As if noticing the commotion at the door, Unohana Yachiru suddenly turned around, her gaze, filled with displeasure and murderous intent, locking onto one of the figures. "Senjumaru, wanna fight me?" she said.

Shutara Senjumaru's expression darkened, and he said in a very displeased tone, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Seeing that the two most capable women in the Gotei 13 were about to clash, Kyoraku Shunsui and the others immediately dispersed, showing no intention of getting involved.

Fortunately, Kiryu seemed to be able to act as a mediator, stepping forward to take Unohana Yachiru's arm and gently comforting her, "Well, Captain Unohana, don't be so angry."

Then, she quickly changed the subject and asked, "Who is that?"

When asked about this, Unohana Yachiru's expression was quite complex, showing displeasure, murderous intent, but also excitement and anticipation. After a moment, she whispered, "That guy is the culprit behind this current spiritual calamity, and he's the man I absolutely must kill next!"

At this point, Unohana Yachiru glanced at Kyoraku Shunsui and the others with disdain and said, "They are much better than these trash."

It has to be said that Sister Hua of this era has a rather explosive personality, completely unlike the gentle and lovely person she became after laying down her butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha.

However, Kyoraku Shunsui and the others, who had already experienced the sharpness of this powerful figure's Zanpakuto, acted as if they hadn't heard a word he said. They whistled, exchanged glances, and showed no further reaction, clearly having already been thoroughly taught a lesson.

At the same time, seeing that all the captains had arrived, Yamamoto Genryusai stepped aside to make way for Bane and introduced him to everyone: "This is Lord Bane, who caused a spiritual disaster in the human world before. However, everyone need not worry. Lord Bane did not cause a spiritual disaster intentionally. Rather, it was because his spiritual pressure was too great, which caused it unconsciously. After some conversation, Lord Bane was invited by me and the other captains to visit Soul Society. Perhaps he will stay here permanently in the future."

Bane, showing respect to Yamamoto Genryusai, nodded apologetically to everyone and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble earlier."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Spirit Lord, you didn't do it on purpose. It's all cleared up now," Tsunayoshi Tokina said with a smile.

The captains of the other noble families also said it was alright, and as for those who died in the real world, they were just unlucky!

Seeing that the captain was very polite to this person, and that the nobles seemed to be very friendly, even the other captains, who were not very perceptive, knew that this person was probably extraordinary. So they also introduced themselves to Bane in a friendly manner.

For Bane, there were some people he recognized, such as Kyoraku Shunsui and Shutara Senjumaru, and others he didn't recognize, such as Captain Norabei, whom he had never heard of before.

Considering that the Gotei 13 do not truly "leave the team," and will basically remain in their positions until death without any unexpected events, these captains who have not been seen are likely to meet their demise later on.

But then he thought about it again. Although there was no real withdrawal from the team, there was still the concept of "taking a break from the team." In short, on this issue, Bane felt that the Gotei 13's system was simply complicated and very flawed.

If you're going to leave the team, then leave the team. Why not let them leave? Why do they have to come up with this "leave of absence" thing? And if you can't return for a long time during your leave of absence, you'll be expelled from the team. Isn't that still leaving the team?

Why go through all this trouble?

Oh, so it's to give nobles special treatment? Never mind then.

With the spiritual calamity resolved, Yamamoto Genryusai briefly introduced Bane to everyone without mentioning anything about a Pure Land, and soon dismissed them.

The captains of the major noble families were all eager to continue their conversation with Bane, but Yamamoto Genryusai did not give them the opportunity. Instead, they each presented their calling cards, inviting Bane to visit their homes when he had time, and then reluctantly left.

On the contrary, Unohana Yachiru completely ignored Yamamoto Genryusai's words, as if she hadn't heard them, and remained standing in the courtyard, showing no intention of leaving.

Yamamoto Genryusai seemed to have no way to deal with her, or perhaps he was unwilling to offend this ruthless person easily, and didn't say much.

Thus, only four people remained in the barracks of this squad: Chojiro Suzaku, Genryusai Yamamoto, Yachiru Unohana, and Ban.

In the tea room, Chojiro Suzaku tactfully brewed tea for everyone, Genryusai Yamamoto sat in his seat, while Banen sat opposite Yachiru Unohana.

Being stared at by Unohana Yachiru made Bane uneasy, as if he was uncomfortable all over. Finally, Bane couldn't take it anymore and looked at this ruthless woman, saying, "Captain Unohana, could you please stop looking at me with such murderous eyes? It's making me very uncomfortable."

"I'm issuing a challenge." Unohana Yachiru was quite direct, stating without hesitation, "Back in the human world, I didn't have enough fun; I couldn't unleash my full power there. But in Soul Society, I don't need to have those concerns. You..."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Whatever the reason, you've already lost to me in this world, haven't you?" Bane interrupted her directly.

Unohana Yachiru didn't deny it, and immediately said, "That's right, but I'm still not satisfied that I couldn't make you draw your sword, and that I couldn't use my full strength, so I want to cut you again!"

At this point, Unohana Yachiru's eyes became somewhat distorted and sickly as she said, "It feels so good."

"Huh?" Bane looked at Unohana Yachiru with a puzzled expression, seemingly unable to understand her words.

"Your spirit body is harder than I expected. Even Vasto Lorde-class Hollows, who are rare in Hueco Mundo and possess so-called steel skin, are not as hard as your spirit body. It's very satisfying to cut with it, and it feels like I'm challenging myself!" Unohana Yachiru said excitedly, while her breathing became heavy.

His murderous aura grew stronger, as if he were about to draw his sword and kill someone at any moment.

Just then, Yamamoto Genryusai gently put down his teacup and said, "That's enough, Unohana."

As soon as he finished speaking, Unohana Yachiru turned her head and stared at Yamamoto Genryusai with a murderous gaze. However, after a moment of eye contact, Unohana Yachiru forcibly suppressed her murderous aura, restrained her madness, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip with an elegant demeanor.

In that instant, his aura made Bane vaguely see Unohana Retsu five hundred years later.

"Please excuse my rudeness, Captain Unohana has a fiery and warlike nature. Even I sometimes find it a bit of a headache," Yamamoto Genryusai said with a smile and a shake of his head.

"It's nothing. Actually, I'm quite looking forward to it too. Whether it's you, Captain-Commander or Captain Unohana, it's been a long time since I've met two such formidable figures as you two," Bane replied with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Unohana Yachiru said, "Since you're also looking forward to it, then let's go outside Seireitei and have a good fight later."

This time, Yamamoto Genryusai didn't try to dissuade him, and Bane didn't refuse either. He smiled and looked at Unohana Yachiru, saying, "Since Captain Unohana has invited me so many times, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse again."

"Thank you." After receiving a satisfactory answer, Unohana Yachiru said softly.

This puzzled Bane a little. He felt that Sister Hua's temperament was very complex at this moment. She was really crazy when she went crazy, but when she calmed down, she was very serene.

Without giving it much thought, Yamamoto Genryusai spoke.

"From what you just said, the Pure Land is too lonely, but our Soul Society is quite lively. If you are interested, you can stay here for a while and experience our local customs and culture. As for accommodation, my lodging is quite large," Yamamoto Genryusai invited.

"Since you, Captain-Commander, have invited me, I would be very honored. I am also very interested in the Soul Society and hope to have more exchanges with you all." Bane agreed without any hesitation.

He has basically achieved the first stage of integrating into Soul Society, and has even started living with Yamamoto Genryusai.

Bane is now preparing to absorb the essence of death here, namely the four major combat systems of "slashing, punching, and walking ghosts".

Bane was more interested in "fist" and "demon." Fist is the martial arts system of Soul Society, while demon is the Kido system of Soul Society.

As for Zanpakuto, Bane was certainly very interested, but he didn't have any so-called "shallow fighting" skills. Whether the Heart Crossing in his hand could succeed still required him to investigate and verify it in more depth.
