Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

"In my memory, he is not the kind of reckless person. On the contrary, Takeda Satoru is a cautious person who has earned the trust of his team members with his outstanding performance of zero casualties in many missions."

"In order to minimize casualties, he would often take action only when he had sufficient intelligence."

"Yet this same person, in the Yokota family's private estate, indiscriminately attacked and killed a chief officer of the Shin-o Prison."

"It is completely unreasonable from any perspective."

"Therefore, I suspect that Tsunayoshi may be the mastermind behind Yokota's sacrifice."

After his speech, Naraku remained calm and showed no sign of shock, which inevitably displeased Yamamoto.

This is a conclusion I reached after compiling a lot of intelligence and thinking hard. Why do you still look so dismissive?

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes slightly: "Third Seat Naraku, do you have a different opinion on this?"

Upon hearing this, Nairoku grinned and said, "I wouldn't call it an opinion, but I do have a question."

"explain."

"Currently, there is no evidence to prove that the Tsunayo family is the mastermind, but if relevant evidence is found, what will you do?"

"Or rather, what will the Gotei 13 do?"

“Those are the five noble families, the highest pinnacle of the Soul Society’s order. I don’t think the 46 Chambers would dare to punish them.”

“Some of them are so eager to curry favor that they can’t even keep up.”

Yamamoto was taken aback, then his brows furrowed.

He had been thinking about how to find evidence of the other party's crimes, but forgot to consider what to do after obtaining the evidence.

As the guardian of order, if he were to act rashly against Tsunayo, he would inevitably destroy this hard-won stable order.

Even if there is evidence, it's the same.

Unless Tsunayoshi goes all out and fast-forwards to the point of destroying the world.

To put it simply, Yamamoto is like a nuclear bomb, the kind of threat that can't be released until the very last moment.

After a moment of contemplation, Yamamoto raised his eyes and gave Naraku Sora a deep look:

"In this regard, I have indeed been somewhat lacking in consideration."

“Tsunayoshi is deeply entrenched in Soul Society. Simple evidence is not enough to bring them down, not to mention that the laws and regulations will favor them.”

"The Central Forty-Six Chambers, the Golden Seal Noble Council..."

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sure enough, he was better at destruction than maintaining the existing system and order.

The thought of these treacherous insects causing trouble behind the scenes filled him with rage. How could he possibly manage the Soul Society if he were to cooperate with such a group of people?

"Do you have a solution?"

Yamamoto suddenly looked at Naraku Sora, his eyes seemingly burning with flames.

Naraku Sora was startled by Yamamoto's sudden change in attitude and said somewhat guiltily:

"Maybe, probably."

"If it exists, it exists; if it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. What does 'maybe' or 'probably' even mean?"

Yamamoto clearly realized his lapse in composure, and immediately let out a cold snort, his face regaining its composure.

Naraku grinned: "Didn't the master initially recruit me into the Genryu clan to forge an incomparably sharp sword that dared to cut down nobles?"

Yamamoto's expression froze, and his original imposing manner immediately diminished by more than half.

“However, I’m not opposed to it.” His smile faded slightly. “Or rather, I look forward to becoming that kind of person.”

"The corruption and chaos in Soul Society are largely caused by that group of people. The efforts of the Gotei 13 and other organizations are nothing more than tools for them to maintain their own power."

"Such people are the root of all evil."

Perhaps Yamamoto's original intention was to cultivate someone who dared to maintain his true self even under the oppression of the nobility.

But as time went on, the old man habitually took on the responsibilities that should have been handed over back to him.

In his view, no matter how much you grow, you may still be threatened by external forces.

Take Takeda Satoki, a vassal of the nobility.

Subconsciously, he was unwilling to let his disciples take risks anymore.

As a teacher, it is my duty to protect and shield those younger generations who trust me.

Yamamoto remained silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in his slightly closed eyes, before slowly speaking:

"So what's your solution?"

Naraku Sora grinned, revealing a slightly awkward yet polite smile:

"I haven't thought of anything yet."

"However, with my wisdom, I will surely be able to come up with a suitable solution within three days at most."

Having said that, Naraku Sora puffed out his chest, looking quite proud.

Yamamoto glanced at him suspiciously. Although what the kid said today made a lot of sense, his usual behavior didn't seem like that of someone with any wisdom.

If we have to put it in perspective, storming into the Tsunayoshi family's headquarters and wiping them out might not be a bad strategy for Naraku Sora.

Seemingly recalling that scene, Yamamoto shook his head, deciding it was best not to place his hopes on him.

"Although I am not clear about Tsunayoshi's plans, it is always better to be cautious than to make a mistake."

That concludes today's lesson.

After saying this, the old man turned and left the temple.

……

……

The fifth division team building.

Aizen frowned as he looked at the dossier on the table, which used extremely vulgar language to criticize Naraku's despicable behavior and moral depravity, saying that no one could surpass him.

Only a group of nobles could write such a dossier.

Aizen casually tossed the document into the trash can, shook his head, and picked up another one from the side.

Just as he was working diligently, a voice that sent blood pressure soaring suddenly rang out in the office:

"Blue Dream, save my teeth!"

Chapter 68 Don't think about it next time.

"Lanmeng, it's like this."

Under Aizen's unfriendly gaze, Naraku Sora swallowed hard and, feeling slightly guilty, recounted in detail what had happened in the First Division.

Of course, there are some embellished details, such as the fact that if the task is not completed, Yamamoto will severely train the student until he is completely broken and on the verge of collapse.

After listening to the account, Aizen showed a thoughtful expression, then looked at Naraku Sora, who seemed a little guilty. His intuition told him that things were not as serious as they seemed.

According to the intelligence he secretly gathered, although Captain-Commander Yamamoto was dissatisfied with the actions of the nobles, he generally tolerated them for the sake of the overall situation.

Today, I vented all my dissatisfaction at once, and this guy in front of me definitely deserves a lot of credit for that.

This is combined with the opinions about Yamamoto within the Seireitei.

Although he appears strict and harsh with a fiery temper, he actually has a kind heart and cares deeply for his juniors.

Yamamoto would never do something like sending Genryu's disciples to deal with Tsunayoshi, one of the five great noble families.

He preferred to bear the pressure alone.

Although Aizen suspected that Naraku was lying for his own selfish reasons, he didn't pursue the matter further.

Because, in a way, this also aligns with his original thoughts.

"Because of internal strife, Shihōin can no longer provide any assistance."

Aizen lightly thwarted someone's impulsive idea, "So, don't bring up the plan to take down Tsunayoshi together with Shihouin anymore."

"Moreover, even at his peak, Shihouin might not be a match for Tsunayoshiro, as can be seen from the power distribution between the Golden Seal Society and the Forty-Six Chambers."

"Besides this, don't you have any other ideas?"

Naraku Sora grinned:

"Is Your Excellency, the Dragon of Documents, testing my wisdom? Of course I have a plan!"

Upon suddenly hearing this incredibly embarrassing nickname, Aizen felt a sharp pain in his teeth.

When other people address themselves in this way, it gives off a slight sense of satisfaction and pride, but why does it feel different when it comes out of this guy's mouth?

Aizen was completely baffled by this.

"Divide and conquer, and gradually disintegrate them."

Naraku Sora boasted about the plan he had finally come up with, looking smug.

“Start with the nobles affiliated with Tsunayoshiro, and crush its forces one by one, just like the Yokota family before, until this giant tree rooted in Soul Society is about to fall, and then deliver the fatal blow.”

Aizen looked surprised and nodded:

"Kong, I'm very pleased that you thought of this."

"But don't think about it next time."

Nai Luo Kong: "?"

He felt that his extraordinary wisdom had been insulted.

"Tsunayoshi has a large number of vassal nobles under his command, with nearly twenty of them belonging to the Forty-Six Chambers alone. Are you planning to go straight to the Forty-Six Chambers?"

Aizen's face showed a hint of helplessness:

"If that's the case, we might as well just storm into the Tsunayo family's house. There's no difference in the process anyway."

"Moreover, this method of gradual encroachment will only be used a few times before it attracts the attention of the Tsunayo family. If they retaliate, the original plan will be ruined."

"Otherwise, do you think Captain-Commander Yamamoto would tolerate them like this?"
