Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"If you learn from the teacher, you will definitely become stronger too."

"Aozaki Mayuki said with a mischievous grin."

If he remembers correctly, Kenpachi Zaraki also learned kendo from Yamamoto in the original work.

He only studied it for one day before giving up, and we don't know what kind of torment he suffered back then.

Since this guy is so obsessed with fighting, if he has enough motivation to learn from the old man, he won't have so much free time to bother me.

And Yamamoto, this empty-nest old man, no longer needs to find time to train whenever he has nothing to do.

Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

Sigh... I'm so clever, I can even come up with such an idea.

...Life is truly as lonely as snow!

"Can I become stronger?"

Kenpachi Zaraki revealed a wild smile, like that of a wild beast.

Through the battle just now, he had personally felt the gap between himself and his opponent.

This made him a little unhappy.

After all, if the difference in strength is too great, the fight won't be satisfying at all.

That's why he had been consciously or unconsciously suppressing his true strength before he met Aozaki Mayuki.

The reason for this is simply that he is too powerful.

As a result, in Rukongai, there is simply no opponent who can fight him to a standstill.

It's wonderful to have such an opponent now, and to have the opportunity to become stronger!

"Alright, I'll challenge you again when I'm stronger."

Kenpachi Zaraki nodded heavily.

"And you lot?"

Aozaki Mayuki tilted his head, his gaze falling on the girl on Kenpachi Zaraki's shoulder and the two people behind him.

"Are you coming to Seireitei with us, or will you stay in Rukongai?"

"I want to go! I want to go! I want to go with Ah Jian!"

Kusajika Yachiru sat on Kenpachi Zaraki's neck, waving her little hands excitedly and swaying her body from side to side.

The bald man and the flamboyant man exchanged a glance and said in unison:

“We want to follow him.”

"Very good. From this day forward, you will be members of the Eleventh Division."

Aozaki Mayuki nodded slightly and clapped her hands.

"I am the captain of the 11th Division, and also 'Kenpachi,' the eleventh Kenpachi, Aozaki Mazuki."

"Hmm... It just so happens that all the members are here now. Since we'll all be comrades in the same squad from now on, why don't you introduce yourselves to everyone?"

Kenpachi Zaraki scratched his head and said nonchalantly:

"My name is Kenpachi Zaraki..."

However, he hadn't finished speaking.

The surrounding Eleventh Division members erupted into a frenzy, as if a pot had been boiled over.

"They actually dare to call themselves Kenpachi!?"

"That's too arrogant! Captain Aozaki is the real Kenpachi!"

"Kenpachi Aozaki killed the previous Kenpachi and was recognized by the Captain-Commander to earn the title of Kenpachi. Who do you think you are!?"

Oh... so you actually admit that I killed the previous Kenpachi. It seems that my iron fist training for them was effective after all.

Aozaki Mayuki smiled.

Then I saw Kenpachi Zaraki grin widely and laugh as he spoke:

"One day I will defeat him and steal the Kenpachi title. You just wait for me to become Kenpachi!"

Aozaki Mayuki shook her head helplessly, then smiled and comforted everyone.

Names aren't really that important.

He has a title and hasn't changed his name; the members of the Eleventh Division still recognize him as Kenpachi.

Ultimately, it all comes down to strength.

True Kenpachi is one who has real skill.

Under Aozaki Mayuki's guidance, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became less intense.

After that, the other three people also began to introduce themselves.

Little girl: "Kusashi Yachiru..."

Bald man: "Ikkaku Madarame..."

Show-off guy: "Ayasegawa Yumichika..."

"Senior brother, if you've been looking around for a while and don't want to come out to see your junior brother, and you're just bored and have nothing else to do, then go back and tell the old man that our Eleventh Division has a new member."

On a high mountain not far away, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro exchanged a glance after receiving a message from "Ten-Ting Kong-Luo".

"Junior Brother is indeed amazing. We didn't reveal any spiritual pressure fluctuations, yet he still detected them."

Kyoraku Shunsui said with a contented expression, gently picked up his wine glass, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

"His spiritual perception is terrifying. He must have been deliberately going easy on us with all those pranks we played on him."

"You left in such a hurry, yet you even brought alcohol with you?"

Jushiro Ukitake looked surprised and reached out to take the sake cup handed to him by Shunsui Kyoraku.

"Haha, how can we go out without bringing some fine wine?"

Kyoraku Shunsui casually waved his hand and smiled.

"This mission is so boring, I can't stand it if I don't have a drink to cheer myself up!"

Jushiro Ukitake took a sip of sake:

"So what should we do next? Should we go back and tell the teacher?"

"In my opinion, there doesn't seem to be anything to worry about at the moment; they shouldn't do anything reckless."

“Junior brother is sensible and seems to be able to keep Captain Unohana in check. Let’s go back.”

Kyoraku Shunsui's lips curled into a smile.

"This time, Junior Brother has subdued such a powerful Captain-level opponent. I wonder how happy the old man will be when he finds out!"

"We really should tell the teacher this good news. I never expected that such a powerful person would be hidden in a place like Rukongai."

Jushiro Ukitake smiled and nodded in admiration.

"Judging from spiritual pressure alone, that ronin is clearly superior to us."

"In addition to his ferocious fighting ability, which is like that of a wild beast, his strength should not be underestimated."

"Congratulations to our junior brother for gaining such a powerful general. The Eleventh Division should be the strongest division below the First Division in the future."

In his mind, Yamamoto was still the invincible figure among the Gotei 13.

And the first division led by the old man is naturally the strongest division.

Chapter 269 The Talent Recruiter

Time flies, and two and a half months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the members of the Eleventh Division arrived at the First Division with a heavy report, their faces beaming with pride and satisfaction.

This report marks the successful completion of the Rukongai sweep mission!

Since the addition of powerful members such as Kenpachi Zaraki, even though Mayuki Aozaki just casually "slacks off" every day, the Eleventh Division's work efficiency has been greatly improved.

They were like an invincible fighting machine, completing a difficult task swiftly and efficiently.

Along with this joy, an official report was also delivered regarding Kenpachi Zaraki joining the 11th Division and becoming a vice-captain alongside Gin Ichimaru.

While it's uncommon for two people to share a seat in the Gotei 13, it's not unheard of.

Just like in the 13th Division, Aozaki Mayuki's sister-in-law, Kotetsu Kiyone, and her colleague, Kotsubaki Sentaro, jointly serve as the third seat and acting vice-captain.

Yamamoto readily accepted Aozaki Mayuki's unreasonable demands, which did not comply with legal procedures.

He became even more convinced that his youngest disciple was a master at poaching talent!

First, they successfully recruited Isshin Shiba, the captain of the 10th Division, and now they have Kenpachi Zaraki, whose spiritual pressure surpasses that of Shunsui and Jushiro.

And that guy from the Technology Development Bureau, what's his name... Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Although his strength was only so-so, he was quite intelligent and he cured Ukitake Jushiro.

The more talented people like this come, the better; I could never have too many!

This kid is actually going to such lengths to help this old man solve his problems!

When they strongly recommended Aozaki Mayuki to be the captain of the 11th Division, they wanted to use the opportunity of him killing Oni Genjo to let him undergo some training as a captain.

Unexpectedly, his performance was truly amazing.

Whether it was reforming the discipline of the squads or venturing deep into Rukongai to find outstanding talents, he demonstrated the abilities and qualities that an excellent leader should possess.

Yamamoto was very pleased with his young apprentice's outstanding performance.

"Captain Shingetsu, you did a great job!"
