Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

According to gossip, there is even a fan club for Komamura Sajin in Soul Society, and they are... obsessed with his appearance?

I heard that he was named something like "Fu Rui".

It is believed that the appearance of Komamura Sajin is a symbol of blessing and auspiciousness.

Because of the good meaning, Komamura Sajin had no objection to the nickname "Furui".

So, this nickname gradually spread.

Chapter 175: Team , . Confrontation Assessment?

When asked this by "Furui" Komamura Sajin.

Kyoraku Shunsui, the commander of the Hueco Mundo vanguard, also responded with a look of nostalgia:

"Yes, the Ten Kings are not someone who can be dealt with so easily."

"If it weren't for Soi Fong turning the tide, we would have died in Hueco Mundo."

"If this Arrancar, called Sar Apollo, is one of the Ten King Hollows."

"We defeated three squads, Vice Captain Shiba, and two officers in succession."

"Even before that, he had already broken through the traps set by Aizen and Tosen, the two vice-captains who had awakened their Bankai."

"It's much more reasonable to achieve such a record."

Aizen took over the conversation with a sad expression:

"This incident is all my fault for being weak and not realizing I was possessed by the Hollow."

"Even though I luckily awakened my Bankai, I couldn't stop him from escaping."

Dong Xianyao also nodded, his tone heavy with self-blame:

"If the two of us could be more useful..."

"If Vice Captain Shiba and several of my colleagues hadn't suffered this ordeal, they wouldn't have been in such a state."

Upon hearing this, the third squad's shooting ranger Qian Tie said in a comforting voice:

"Alright, alright, you two young men, you've done great. There's no need to blame yourselves."

"I have watched you two join the team and grow up, all the way to the position of vice-captain and acting captain."

"Now that I hear that you have awakened your Bankai, I feel even more relieved."

"With such talent and ability, you two are destined to shoulder heavier responsibilities. Don't whine here and lose morale!"

Omaeda Nozomi from the Second Division also spoke up:

"Old sister Qiantie is right. Please cheer up, both of you."

"For an enemy of this level, staying alive is the best you can do."

"Especially Aizen, it was not your wish for something like this to happen, not to mention that you actively tried to remedy the situation afterwards."

"Logically speaking, since the border seal of Hueco Mundo was established, there has been no Great Hollow-level Hollow appearing in the Soul Society for three hundred years."

"Your response was correct, but I didn't expect it to be an Arrancar of the level of the Ten Kings Hollows."

"Anyway, don't blame yourself too much!"

Soi Feng saw all of this.

"The two old veterans have been vice-captains their entire lives, and they treat the newcomers Aizen and Tosen as their juniors."

"Now that I heard that the two of them had awakened their Bankai, I felt as if I had awakened my Bankai as well, so I offered to help..."

After these three years, she is no longer so naive.

I also have a more thorough understanding of some things.

The two vice-captains of the second and third squads are far away from the decision-making center and know even less information.

However, Aizen and Tōsen were good at hiding, so it was normal for them to be taken care of as responsible juniors.

In the original novel, these two guys have been acting for almost a hundred years, and can be called the drama masters of the century.

At this moment, seeing that everyone had almost digested the food, Yamamoto used his scabbard as a staff and struck the ground:

"Boom!"

Seeing that everyone had finished their discussion, he said:

"I believe everyone is already aware of what happened."

"Just yesterday, with my approval, Vice Captain Aizen connected with the Technology Development Bureau."

"Use the existing clues and information to track the whereabouts of the Arrancar Great Hollow, Sar Apollo."

He looked around:

"Everyone, I have already informed you at the previous captain's meeting what Squad Zero discovered after arriving in Hueco Mundo."

What Yamamoto was referring to was that after the Zero Squad arrived in Hueco Mundo, they found that the entire Hueco Mundo had been replaced and was no longer the Hueco Mundo that Soi Fong and the others had visited.

This matter was formally reported and sent to the Gotei Corps via Squad Zero, and everyone was informed.

"In other words, Hueco Mundo is still under our control."

"We cannot allow such a dangerous [Ten Kings Hollow] to go to Hueco Mundo and lie dormant."

"I have reached an agreement with Squad Zero. Once we discover the whereabouts of Sar Apollo, we will march into Hueco Mundo and completely destroy him!"

"But then again—"

Yamamoto changed the subject:

"Since three years ago, Seireitei has suffered numerous disasters and lost a significant number of its personnel."

"Especially at the captain level. Currently, squads 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, and 12 are still lacking a captain."

"To ensure a foolproof operation in the Hueco Mundo extermination campaign, we need to promote several new captains."

Yamamoto then called out:

"Fifth Division, Aizen Sosuke."

"Team Nine, Tosen Kaname."

"Squad 12, Kurotsuchi Mayuri."

"The above three people, step out!"

"Yes."

The three of them walked out as ordered.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri glanced at the two people beside him with some surprise, thinking to himself:

"Could it be...?"

At this time, Yamamoto shouted to the outside of the door again:

"And you, come in!"

The door opened and everyone looked over to see a young black-haired shinigami striding in.

"Squad 10, Shiba Isshin."

"arrive!!"

Shiba Isshin responded loudly, stopping in front of the 10th Squad's position.

——He stepped out of the same line as Aizen, Tosen Kaname, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

Aizen and Kuroshio Mayuri looked over at the same time, but Shiba stared straight ahead, unmoved.

As for Dongxian Yao...

Uh, he looked directly at Shiba Isshin with his right ear, and his face was aimed at Kurotsuchi Mayuri, which made Kurotsuchi Mayuri feel uncomfortable.

"This guy... even though I know he's blind..."

"But could you please not point your face at me? It's disgusting..."

At this time, Yamamoto said:

"The four individuals mentioned above have all recently submitted applications for captain assessment."

"In other words, the four Shinigami who stepped out all believed they met the standards of a captain."

Yamamoto walked to the middle of the four people, looked around, and said with a relieved tone:

"Seireitei has four talented individuals who have grown to the point of mastering Bankai. This old man is very pleased!"

"But this also brings trouble to this old man."

"Each captain's assessment requires at least three other captains to serve as examiners."

"The assessment of four captains requires a full twelve captains."

"We're clearly short on numbers, Kyoraku. What do you suggest we do?"

Hearing this, Kyoraku Shunsui smiled and said:

"We can have the same group of examiners and conduct four tests—"

Seeing Yamamoto's murderous gaze glaring at him, Kyoraku Shunsui scratched his head with a playful smile and said:

"Haha, everyone, we have actually discussed this."

"Squad 12 has roughly determined the whereabouts of Sar Apollo. We must complete the captain assessment as soon as possible and then send out sufficient combat forces."

"Therefore, this assessment will be conducted at the same time."

He put away his happy smile and said:

"According to previous regulations, when there are insufficient examiners, the existing captains can vote to decide on a suitable assessment method."

"Before you all arrived, the existing captains had already held a meeting."

"Everyone agrees..."

A smile appeared on Kyoraku Shunsui's lips, and his eyes swept over Aizen and the others:

"This time, the captaincy test will feature candidates competing two-on-two!"

"During this process, we will assess whether you are qualified and capable enough to serve as captain!"

Chapter 176 Grouping

Aizen frowned slightly, realizing that things were not simple.

But someone spoke up before him, so he wisely chose to keep quiet.

"Two against two?"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's shrill voice rang out:

"With all due respect, this doesn't seem to make sense."

"Captain-level guys, many of whom have Bankai, can't distinguish between friend and foe. I don't understand the point of forming a team to fight against them."

At this time, Kyoraku Shunsui explained:

"That's why practice is necessary."

"The previous battle in Hueco Mundo exposed some problems with the Shinigami."

"It's true that a powerful Shinigami like Captain Yamamoto needs to fight alone to avoid harming his teammates."

"However, ordinary captain-level Shinigami can consciously control their Bankai."

"After prior communication, cooperate with other Shinigami who have learned Bankai."

"In Hueco Mundo, we made the mistake of fighting on our own, which led to a one-on-one fight with a powerful enemy, and the rest of us were unable to help."

At this time, Ukitake Jushiro stepped forward and continued:

"If the captains could reveal their Bankai to each other, understand each other, and cooperate with each other..."

"Then we can achieve the point where one plus one is greater than two!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire meeting room fell silent.

Kyoraku Shunsui smiled and said to ease the atmosphere:
