Shirou's clones number 30 million

"This is your pay stub. Come here on the 15th of each month to collect your pay. As for accommodation, will you live in Soul Society, or continue living in the human world like Ichigo?"

"If you stay here, I can only assign you an old room; you'll have to buy your own furniture and such."

"I'll stay with Aizen-sensei as I am now," Inoue Orihime said instinctively.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Hinamori Momo was looking at her with a strange expression.

Did I say something wrong again?

"It was Teacher Aizen who said that he had many empty rooms and asked me to stay there so that it would be convenient for teaching."

"Is that so? That's good."

Hinamori Momo unconsciously pursed her lips. Back when she was still in the Fifth Division, she had hinted that the rooms assigned to the team were too small, but Captain Aizen hadn't responded at all.

"Because you haven't completed your apprenticeship yet, and you lack combat experience, you will be unable to take on combat missions for a long time to come."

"However, our First Division is special. We have many tasks, such as compiling meeting minutes and notifying other divisions. You can learn these tasks gradually in the future."

That's all for today.

"Yes! Then I'll go back for special training first?" Inoue Orihime asked hesitantly.

"You go ahead, I have some things to take care of with Captain Aizen later."

"Yes, see you later, Vice Captain Hinamori."

Stepping out of the First Squad's barracks and just crossing the threshold, a completely different world suddenly appeared before my eyes.

The familiar courtyard, the cherry blossom tree that hadn't yet blossomed, and Aizen drinking tea under the tree all gradually made Inoue Orihime relax.

"Aizen-sensei, why did you suddenly pull me over here? Is this Kido or the power of your Zanpakuto?"

"To be honest, it falls into the category of divine magic."

Aizen smiled as he put away his teacup and opened the Anywhere Door.

"The reason I suddenly pulled you over here is because I wanted to take you somewhere that is related to your work just now."

"Huh...? Did I mess something up without realizing it?" Inoue Orihime looked somewhat flustered.

"No, in fact, it's not a bad thing. I just feel that as the person involved, you have the right to know everything. So, let's go."

"Yesterday was just talk, today I'll let you see for yourself the solidified class gap between Seireitei and Rukongai."

Aizen used illusion magic to conceal the two of them and entered the Anywhere Door first.

The above statements in Chapter 523 represent only my personal investigation results.

The above statements, as stated in Section 524 and Chapter 523, represent only the results of my personal investigation.

So Rukongai is even more brutal than I imagined.

As she followed Aizen on his journey, Orihime Inoue witnessed firsthand the vast differences between them.

Rukongai is divided into districts by numbers. District 1 has a pleasant environment and is not much different from Seireitei.

But the further you go, the worse the environment becomes. In the areas beyond District 78, theft and robbery have become commonplace, and many people live like beggars.

It is said that most residents of Rukongai experience hunger relatively slowly and can survive on water alone without needing to eat.

But after District 78, even water became a precious resource that had to be purchased.

The food that was wasted during the banquet at Seireitei was sold at high prices in Rukongai, but it disappeared completely after reaching only the 3rd district.

When they reached the 60th district, Orihime Inoue, under Aizen's supervision, secretly saw her brother.

His living place had nothing but an empty, broken bed and a wardrobe riddled with holes.

As for the workplace, it was a place similar to a construction site.

From what Inoue Orihime saw, he was constantly carrying heavy objects, and although it looked very strenuous, he seemed to have long been used to that situation.

As for the last few areas, they were almost barren, with very little even drinkable water. Many people fought desperately, only to snatch that tiny bit of water.

In this regard, Orihime Inoue was somewhat relieved that her brother did not live in one of the last few districts.

Although District 60 wasn't a great place, at least it maintained basic order, and people could earn a living through work instead of desperately fighting for a little bit of water.

"Aizen-sensei, what happens to spirits in Soul Society after they die?"

"It will disappear completely."

Aizen hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly spoke:

"The Soul Society is the place where the dead live. People who die in the mortal world can continue to live here, with lifespans ranging from several decades to hundreds of years."

"The beings in Soul Society are free from diseases and other afflictions. They live day by day and eventually disappear suddenly when their lifespan comes to an end."

"According to my investigation, people who die of old age in Soul Society are reincarnated without any memories, becoming newborns in the present world."

"But those who die unexpectedly, before they die of old age, will have their souls scattered and disappear completely from the world, without even the chance of reincarnation."

"According to the laws of nature, people living in the Soul Society should all be waiting for reincarnation. Becoming a Shinigami will prolong this time."

"Of course, the above statements only represent my personal survey results and lack extensive data analysis, so they may differ from the actual situation."

Inoue Orihime seemed to be deep in thought, then after a moment's thought, she asked again:

"Does everyone go to Soul Society after they die?"

"No, some will turn into Hollows and enter Hueco Mundo. As for whether Hollows can be reincarnated after death, I don't know. Maybe they can, maybe they can't."

"Huh...? Wouldn't that mean the number of newborns in the world would keep decreasing?"

"Not every newborn has a past life, so this worry is completely unnecessary."

It turned out to be the case.

Inoue Orihime unconsciously thought about many moral issues.

"So this is what the afterlife is like. The wards behind Rukongai are so chaotic, why doesn't the Seireitei think of a solution?"

"no way."

Aizen shook his head slightly and said again:

"There is never a solution to this kind of problem."

"There is only so much fertile land in Soul Society. The Shinigami and spirits who arrived first have already occupied the good places, and those who come later can only be placed in other barren lands."

“The river doesn’t flow there, so there’s no water, the most important resource, and farming is out of the question.”

"Poverty has always been the root of chaos."

"The current solution is to divide the new spirits into different zones based on their moral character, knowledge, and abilities, thereby maintaining a simple balance."

Inoue Orihime pondered for a few seconds, then hesitated before saying:

"This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, right?"

"As the captain-in-chief, can't Aizen-sensei do something about it? For example, could he divert the river or improve the environment?"

"The duty of the Captain-Commander of the Seireitei is to protect the safety of Soul Society, not to ensure that everyone lives comfortably."

Aizen paused, then sighed:

"From a broader perspective, as long as there is no large-scale death of spirits, the deaths of a few due to trivial matters such as fighting and fighting over food are insignificant."

"Even if I don't think so, the former Captain-Commander Yamamoto, as well as most people in the Seireitei and even the Rukongai think so."

"Moreover, the resources in Soul Society are limited and have already been allocated. What other options do newcomers have besides accepting charity-like distribution?"

"Using morality, ability, knowledge, and achievements as the criteria for dividing regions is already the best and most widely accepted method."

"Well......"

Orihime Inoue opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Indeed, just as Aizen-sensei said before, there is never a good solution to this kind of thing.

Therefore, he did not intend to make this his goal, but simply went wherever he happened to go.

Wait a minute! What's next?

"What are Aizen-sensei's next plans?"

"Oh...? How did you know I had a next plan?"

"intuition!"

"Your intuition is correct."

A faint smile appeared on Aizen's face. He had only been the Captain-Commander for a short time and lacked sufficient authority.

Moreover, due to his lazy nature, he had no intention of carrying out any sweeping reforms that would create a bunch of enemies for himself.

But there are just too many things I can't stand. Now that I've become the captain, I can't just sit around doing nothing.

So let's take it slow and try to change everything around us in a subtle way.

"Next, let's get everyone busy."

"Why...?"

Orihime Inoue was slightly taken aback, clearly not understanding.

“Gradually increase the workload of the Shinigami. When they are overwhelmed and unable to object, they will naturally delegate the work to the people of Rukongai.”

"I see...!"

Orihime Inoue looked excited. This time she understood. In this way, the communication between the Seireitei and the Rukongai would be improved, and over time, the differences between the inside and outside of the walls would gradually decrease.

"It's a good plan, but the workload is limited, so it's hard to increase it quickly, right?"

"No, there is still a chance."

Aizen paused, then asked with a smile:

"Since we've come this far, I'll take you to see other places."

Back in the courtyard, Aizen opened the door again.

This time, the place behind the door is not anywhere in this world, but another world under the jurisdiction of Sanzen Shirou.

The divine realm has many prohibitions, and the governing gods cannot directly interfere with the worlds they govern.
