Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

"Well, after these few hundred years of peace, our lives have been so comfortable."

"As long as you become the captain, ordinary Hollows will not be enough."

"This also means that everyone rarely fights on weekdays, and there is no opportunity for each other to learn from each other."

"Forget Bankai. Everyone's understanding of each other's Shikai abilities is probably limited to listening to each other's own descriptions, right?"

His smile faded:

"In Hueco Mundo, we encountered opponents of the same level as us, but we had a hard time defeating them."

"We are used to fighting with favorable winds against the Void."

"An enemy of equal or even greater strength has appeared, yet I can't even help if I want to."

"So, when we came back this time, we had this idea——"

"If a Shinigami who possesses Bankai can understand both himself and his enemy, he can definitely achieve cooperation within a reasonable range."

"When fighting a powerful enemy, we can work together instead of passively taking a beating."

"Otherwise, if we allow the trend of fighting alone to prevail..."

"We won't be so lucky next time and come back alive."

After Kyoraku Shunsui finished speaking, he and Ukitake retreated to their seats and stopped talking.

After hearing what they said, everyone fell into deep thought.

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro stood up and sang the same tune, basically setting the tone for this matter.

Both of them are Yamamoto's direct disciples, and both are young and energetic centenary captains, the backbone of Soul Society.

When the two of them spoke together, it was almost as if Yamamoto was speaking.

It's just a more euphemistic way of expressing "no doubt" in a less forceful way.

Therefore, Kurotsuchi Mayuri wisely said:

"I see. I have no objection."

A guy who is suspected to be extremely old and may even be related to Senjumaru of Squad Zero.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri knew that this was an inevitable trend.

He turned his head and glanced at Aizen, Tosen Kaname and Shiba Isshin.

"Three of you, no matter who is assigned to a group with me..."

"Please save your life."

"I can't care about the guy who will hold me back!"

His arrogant remarks did not elicit any reaction from the other three.

Seeing the cold reaction, Kurotsuchi Mayuri snorted and stopped talking.

Seeing that there was finally no sound, Yamamoto knocked on the scabbard and said in a deep voice:

"Since you have no objection, let's continue."

"The groups are now announced!"

Yamamoto first looked to the left:

"Kurobuta Mayuri and Shiba Isshin are a team."

He looked towards Aizen again:

"Aizen Sosuke and Tosen are in a group."

"You have the whole morning to get acquainted and communicate."

"In the afternoon, please go to the First Squadron's underground training ground to complete the confrontation assessment!"

Aizen and the other three didn't say anything else.

Since this is the custom, it was approved by the vote of the current captains.

As the ones being assessed, they can only do as they are told.

After the decision was read out, the meeting disbanded.

Soi Fong left the First Division, looked around, and planned to find Unohana Retsu and follow her back to the Fourth Division.

She planned to go and see if Shiba Kaiyan and the others were awake, and have lunch in the Fourth Division.

After a while, Soi Fong found Unohana Retsu who had left alone.

"Sister Hua, I'm going to see the patients. I'd like to have lunch at your place!"

Unohana Retsu heard this and turned back with a faint smile:

"Yes, welcome."

"However... the patients' meals are too focused on nutrition, so the taste is a bit bland."

She glanced up and down at Soi Fong inconspicuously, her gaze lingering on her chest for two seconds.

Unohana Retsu frowned slightly, then smiled and said:

"How about this, since I have nothing to do today, let me give you a try of my cooking."

Soi Fong was completely unaware of the other person's gaze. She was so surprised when she heard that that she let out a "Wuhu!"

The two chatted along the way, and Unohana Retsu remembered something and mentioned:

"Oh right, Soi-Feng."

"Is Yongyin busy these days?"

"Yuune?"

Soi-Feng thought for a moment and replied:

"Fortunately, she hasn't been assigned anything in the near future."

Unohana Retsu heard this and asked:

"I have a request, could you please let Yuune return to the 4th Division for a while?"

"Ever since Seinosuke went to Mao Seyakuin, the 4th Division has been a bit out of whack."

She frowned and said worriedly:

"I'm fine in the team, but if it's like today, I need to be on standby at the first team."

"Those kids on the team seem to have lost their backbone. They tend to get nervous and make mistakes when doing things."

Need help?

After hearing Unohana Retsu say this, Soi Fong realized that something was wrong today.

Vice Captain Yamada Seinosuke, who was always silent and followed behind Unohana Retsu, was nowhere to be seen today.

Soi Fong just remembered the day when she went to the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy to give a speech to the new students.

Yamada Seinosuke also stopped serving as the vice-captain of the 4th Division and went to Mao Seyakuin to serve as the dean.

"No wonder Sister Hua seems a little lonely today."

Soi-Feng thought about it and replied immediately:

"No problem, let her go back and help you for a while!"

"Besides, didn't I leave Zaraki and the other two guys with you, Hana-nee?"

"Although I'm a bit slow, I can still be quite useful if I put in some effort to move things."

"Sister Hua, you can send them with confidence!"

"Like today, you can definitely let Zaraki accompany you, Hana-nee."

"Even though this guy can only chop people, he should still be able to help you carry your bag outside the first team~"

Unohana Retsu was in a good mood when he saw that Soi Fong agreed to his request.

When Unohana Retsu heard that Soi Fong wanted Zaraki to carry her bag, he couldn't help laughing.

She turned her face slightly, covered her mouth with her hands and smiled:

"Oh, that won't do~"

"During the captain's meeting, you can't just stand outside the First Division."

"——At least he should be given the vice-captain's epaulettes~"

Soi Fong:?

Kenpachi Zaraki, the vice-captain of the 4th Division? ?

Chapter 177: Preventive Medicine Department, Kenpachi Zaraki? ?

In the second half of the journey, Soi Fong discovered that Unohana Retsu was in a good mood.

"No, Sister Hua doesn't seem to be joking?"

Soi Fong couldn't help but think seriously about the possibility of Zaraki becoming the vice-captain of the 4th Division.

When I think of this guy who is tall and strong, carrying a small white medical kit of the Fourth Squad.

Treatment methods...

Uh, hack the enemy to death before your teammates get hurt?

What is this preventive medicine department, Kenpachi Zaraki? !

Fortunately, not long after the two of them left, they met Ukitake Jushiro with his little follower.

"You two, what a coincidence?"

Ukitake came forward and said with a smile:

"I'm going to the Fourth Division to visit Haiyan and the others and have lunch."

He pointed behind him and saw Kiyone Kotetsu and Sentaro Kotsubaki, each holding an exquisite red and black lacquer lunch box.

It has a matte family crest on it, which is low-key and luxurious.

"Captain Unohana, Captain Soi-Fong, if you don't mind, how about joining us?"

"It's a good feeling!"

"Sister Hua, I won't bother you at noon!"

The lunch box obviously contained a sumptuous homemade dish, and Soi Feng could already smell the aroma of food that only came from aristocratic homes.

Seeing Soi Fong say this, Unohana Retsu also nodded:

"So good."

She glanced at Soi-Fong's chest once more, unnoticeably, and thought to herself:

"...Why is the effect so minimal?"

"...No, next time I have the chance, I have to pay more attention to her and adjust her diet."

Afterwards, Soi Fong and a few others had a hearty meal in the quiet courtyard of the Fourth Division.

Shiba Kaiyan and others have not woken up, but it can be seen with the naked eye that their condition is getting better and better.

Unohana Retsu judged that Madarame and the others should wake up tomorrow.

And the Shiba Petrel may need another week.

After lunch, Unohana Retsu served everyone fragrant flower tea.

It is refreshing, relieves fatigue and removes greasiness, and has a unique flavor.

During the meal, the three captains briefly chatted about the two-on-two test that would be held in the afternoon, but they were not surprised at all.

Yamamoto had already informed the three people present what was going to happen today.

——Touch the indigo base.

To be honest, Soi-Fong is also looking forward to the developments in the afternoon.

Although this two-on-two confrontation assessment is novel in form, it is essentially a captain assessment.
