Death's Hidden Mobile

Yamamoto Genryusai frowned and looked at Natsuhiko with a puzzled expression.

Xia Yan scratched his head and said, "I still want to stay in the Second Division and the Onmitsukito, and continue to be Captain Soi Fon's subordinate. I don't want to leave Soi Fon."

Yamamoto Genryusai snorted and said, "Nonsense, do you think the squad is a place for romance?"

Soi Fon tugged at Natsuhiko's sleeve and said, "Hurry up and agree to the Captain-Commander's request. It will only benefit you and not harm you."

Soi Fon is thinking of Natsuhiko's best interests and hopes he will become the captain, as this would only benefit his future.

Yamamoto Genryusai nodded and said, "That's right. Being in different squads doesn't mean you can't be husband and wife."

Upon hearing this, Soi Fon's face flushed red, and she said, "We...we haven't even talked about becoming husband and wife yet."

Although Soi Fon had decided to marry Natsuhiko, she felt a little embarrassed when the Captain-Commander told her.

Xia Yan chuckled and said, "Okay, I agree to the Captain-Commander's request, but the Captain-Commander must also agree to my request that you be the witness when I marry Soi Fon."

"Hey, don't make such unreasonable demands."

Soi Fon tugged at Natsuhiko's hand. The Captain-Commander's status was precious. Although there were high-ranking nobles in Seireitei, his position was extremely high.

The Great Ghost Daoist, Wo Ling Tie Zhai, also referred to himself as a subordinate, and everyone else respected him.

Later, in the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, Yamamoto Genryusai personally took action, giving everyone a sense of security and adding to their confidence.

For two thousand years or even longer, Yamamoto Genryusai was the backbone of all the Grim Reapers.

For Natsuhiko to have the Captain-Commander officiate at the wedding was rather unusual for Soi Fon, who came from a lower-class noble family.

However, Yamamoto Genryusai said, "Alright, if you get married, I will be your witness."

"You agreed?"

Soi Fon was stunned, but then felt a surge of happiness. With the Captain-Commander officiating, her marriage was sure to be a grand affair.

Xia Yan grinned and said, "Thank you, Captain."

. . .

"Grandpa, I'll be leaving now. I'll go back to the Shihōin family first, and then go find Urahara Kisuke."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yoruichi took her leave and disappeared into the distance.

Xia Yan then looked at the Captain-Commander and said, "I want to see Rukia."

Yamamoto Genryusai nodded and said, "Alright, I can take you to the Abyss, but I need to confirm that you are Xia Yan."

Although Aizen has left, who knows if the current Natsuhiko is a disguise using Aizen's abilities?

Xia Yan said, "Captain, please ask."

Yamamoto Genryusai asked, "In the Abyss, you used Bankai and defeated me for a few seconds."

Xia Yan said with a smile, "I did not use Bankai."

Yamamoto Genryusai nodded and said, "Come with me."

The key to Avici Hell was on Yamamoto Genryusai, but it was briefly given to Unohana Retsu, who then took Rukia to Avici Hell.

Yamamoto Genryusai led the two into the underground prison, arriving at the Eighth Prison. After pushing open the door, two figures appeared behind it.

One of them is Rukia, and the other is Retsu Unohana.

Upon seeing Yamamoto Genryusai, Natsuhiko, and Soi Fon, Rukia's gaze focused on the shortest person, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Natsuhiko, what's wrong with you... Am I dreaming?"

When a person who has died reappears in front of the public, most people cannot accept it at first glance.

Xia Yan looked at Rukia and said with a smile, "Rukia-neechan, I'm not dead."

Upon hearing this, Rukia walked over, hugged Natsuhiko tightly, and cried out, "Thank goodness, you're not dead."

Xia Yan patted her on the back and said, "How could I possibly die? I'm so lucky."

No, actually, I'm dead.

But she was saved by the necklace Rukia gave her. You saved me, this is the second time.

Thank you, Rukia.

The previous content has been slightly altered: the necklace was lost during the battle with Kenpachi Zaraki. Natsuhiko told Soi Fon, who went to find it herself and returned it to Natsuhiko. To be continued.

Chapter 135: The Fifth Division Captain (Fifth Update)

"Silence. The inauguration ceremony for the new captains of the Gotei 13 is now being held."

As soon as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni spoke, the headquarters fell silent. Then, Sasakibe Chojiro called out, "Please let the new captain in."

As Chojiro Sasakichi finished speaking, the door opened, and Natsuhiko slowly walked in, wearing a white haori that represented the captain, with the number five appearing on his back.

Xia Yan succeeded Aizen as the captain of the Fifth Division.

The reason for choosing the Fifth Division is twofold. Firstly, Hinamori Momo is in the Fifth Division, and she still believes that Aizen is innocent and that he was controlled by Ichimaru Gin. Secondly, Natsuhiko has a good relationship with Hinamori Momo, so he has sufficient reason to interfere in this matter.

The second reason is that Natsuhiko learned that Gin Ichimaru was an undercover agent, and he also hoped that Gin would succeed.

Gin Ichimaru has killed Shinigami (death gods), including the third seat of the Fifth Division, committing a crime.

But only Natsuhiko knows about this. If he can kill Aizen and return to Seireitei, Natsuhiko will put this matter out of his mind and not tell anyone.

Xia Yan walked to the captains' quarters. Near the door were Captain Jushiro Ukitake of the Thirteenth Division and Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Captain of the Twelfth Division.

The former smiled and nodded to Xia Yan.

The latter couldn't help but complain, "He's just a kid, does he even deserve to be a captain?"

"Hey, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Natsuhiko is much stronger than you."

Kenpachi Zaraki's voice came through. He and Mayuri Kurotsuchi were extremely at odds, although Mayuri helped Kenpachi Zaraki recover during the Thousand-Year Blood War arc.

"Well, Xia Yan's strength is undeniable; he's definitely better than me," Shiba Kaien said with a smile.

In addition, Soi Fon said, "Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi, didn't you say you wanted to meet the person who designed the armor? You even called him a genius."

"Nonsense, when did I say Xia Yan was a genius? It's just ordinary design."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi snorted, her expression full of disdain, and then said through gritted teeth, "And he actually brought that guy back."

Three days ago, seven days after Aizen's defection, Kisuke Urahara returned to Seireitei, removed the Hogyoku from Rukia's body, sealed it in the Mugen, and then left.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was furious when she received the news and rushed to Kisuke Urahara to mock him, but the latter had already left.

"All right."

Seeing the captains below discussing among themselves, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni picked up his cane and slammed it on the ground before saying, "Don't speak, begin the ceremony."

Sasakibe Chojiro immediately shouted, "Please have the Fifth Division Captain Natsuhiko step forward and swear an oath to the Seireitei."

Xia Yan walked past the captains to the front and softly said, "I swear..."

. . .

After the inauguration ceremony, Yamamoto Genryusai left immediately. The captains surrounded Natsuhiko to congratulate him, and Kyoraku Shunsui was the first to say, "Natsuhiko, congratulations on becoming a captain."

"Thank you."

"You must visit Team Thirteen more often in the future." Jushiro Ukitake patted Natsuhiko on the shoulder.

Afterwards, Komamura Sajin, Hitsugaya Toshiro, and Kuchiki Byakuya offered their congratulations, and the five captains left first.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi said sarcastically, "If you have any other designs, you can come to me. I will give you pointers and let you know how ridiculous your designs are."

After leaving those words, Mayuri Kurotsuchi turned and left.

Kenpachi Zaraki said with a smile, "Kid, don't forget to come to the Eleventh Division and spar with me. I'm really looking forward to it."

A fanatical look appeared on his face as he turned and left.

Retsu Unohana chuckled and said, "Congratulations, Captain Natsuhiko."

"Thank you, Unohana-senpai."

Xia Yan thanked her sincerely, saying that without her help, he would not have been able to successfully enter Seireitei this time.

Moreover, she had treated him on numerous occasions when he was injured.

After Retsu Unohana left, only Kaien Shiba and Soi Fon remained. Kaien Shiba put his arm around Natsuhiko's neck and rubbed Natsuhiko's head with his other hand, saying, "Kid, congratulations on becoming the captain."

"Brother Haiyan, please don't ruin my hairstyle."

Xia Yan pushed him away in annoyance.

"What a vain brat."

Shiba Kaien laughed and said, "Come to my house for dinner in a few days. My wife and Kukaku really want to see you, as well as that brat Ganju. Oh, and I also want to ask you about my uncle's life in the human world."

Although Shiba Isshin is the head of the branch family, they are still family, and Shiba Kaien misses him very much.

Xia Yan smiled and said, "I will."

After Shiba Kaien left, only Soi Fon was left by Natsuhiko's side. Soi Fon walked over, reached out and straightened Natsuhiko's collar, and said, "You don't even care about your clothes. Don't go any further in this area."

Xia Yan didn't speak, but smiled at Soi Fon. Soi Fon tugged at his sleeve and said, "Go on out, your friend is waiting for you outside."

Xia Yan took Soi Fon's hand, and the two left the house and went outside.

The moment Xia Yan appeared outside, a loud, raucous voice rang out, "Hey Xia Yan, you really did become a captain before me, hahaha."

The speaker was Renji Abarai, who had once said he would become captain before Natsuhiko after Natsuhiko skipped a grade.

Unfortunately, twelve years later, Lucia became the captain, while you were just a vice-captain.

Rukia Kuchiki, standing to the side, smiled and said, "Congratulations, Natsuhiko."

Kira Izuru also said, "Captain Natsuhiko, congratulations."

Xia Yan immediately looked at the other person and said, "Brother Kira, please don't call me Captain in private. Just call me Xia Yan."

Kira Izuru, Kuchiki Rukia, Abarai Renji, and Hinamori Momo are Natsuhiko's four best friends.

Xia Yan didn't want to create distance between them, as that would make life less interesting.

However, Hinamori Momo is still incarcerated and in poor mental condition, so she cannot be released for the time being.

"Xia Yan, I didn't expect you to have become the team leader."

Madarame Ikkaku appeared not far away, chuckling.
