Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

"How can we find the right remedy for the problem? Did you think of relying on Ukitake Jushiro's [Pisces Principle] to circumvent it?"

Yamamoto opened his eyes slightly, and his sharp and murderous gaze swept towards the standing Zeljoshiro:

"This is your repayment."

"······What's the meaning?"

"In Mujian, you hid aside and watched my fight with Soi Fong, and also eavesdropped on our conversation about Aizen."

"I didn't kill you, so you lived."

Kenpachi Zaraki looked shocked:

"You actually discovered me at that time?!"

He argued with an angry expression:

"You can't kill me, that means—"

Yamamoto continued his words and said:

"Will you completely destroy the Seireitei that was fused with your Bankai?"

"It's not difficult."

"If necessary, evacuate the Shinigami and all personnel from the court, lower the massive wall of murderous stone to create a death trap."

"Then, it was about me striking with the sword."

After taking a sip of tea, Yamamoto said:

"I don't even need a Bankai."

"The cost of doing this is high, but not unacceptable."

"After all, as long as people are here, Seireitei is here."

"I also learned from Soi-Fong that if the negotiations are successful, the nobles, led by the Kuchiki family, will be willing to pay for the reconstruction of Seireitei."

"Be thankful, your Bankai has been released and no longer violates the principles of my Gotei."

"Now, sit down."

Kenpachi Zaraki was silent for a long time and then sat down quietly.

Yamamoto nodded:

"That's right."

"Next, let's do as we agreed before—"

"Come to my dojo and be a sparring partner for Soi Fong and Zaraki."

"By the way, let's recover and calm down your extremely weak body."

"During this time, I'll try to train my brain and understand the various aspects of Soul Society."

"Let's start with this question—"

Yamamoto poured tea for Kenpachi Zaraki and said leisurely:

"Why did Squad Zero try to stop you from launching the Rukongai souls and exterminating Hueco Mundo?"

Chapter 220 Personnel Changes in the Court

When Soi Fong first encountered the power of [Immortality], she found it difficult to control herself for a while.

Although no one knows it, having this name and its power means that Soi Fong's upper limit in both the Shinigami and Hollow levels has been greatly increased.

This caused her to use most of her spiritual pressure to regulate the balance of power in her body.

"Oh my god! So Ichigo Kurosaki's power is disordered in the original work. Is this what it feels like?"

But a two-in-one is always easier to adjust than a four-in-one.

Soi Feng felt that she needed to rest for about a month, and she should be able to initially balance the power of the two.

He already knew about Saito's immortal past in his memory and figured out the power hidden in his right eye.

This also means that Soi Fong no longer needs to ask Suzube about Saito.

"However, it is necessary to find that old man Yamamoto and ask him about Kenpachi Zaraki..."

However, Soi-Fong did not wait for this opportunity.

At the captain's meeting on the second day, several appointments were announced:

Ukitake Jushiro was dismissed from his position as captain of the 13th Division.

Shiba Kaiyan was removed from his positions as vice-captain and acting captain of the 10th Division.

Shiba Miyabi was dismissed from his position as the third seat of the 13th Division.

as well as--

"Temporarily suspend Soi Fong's position as captain of the 11th Division."

"?!"

"Lao Deng, what did you say?!"

Yamamoto glanced at Soi-Fong:

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

He went on to declare:

"Sui Feng will temporarily serve as the acting captain of the 13th Division, responsible for matters related to the present world and ensuring the smooth operation of the purification project."

"Kempachi Zaraki of the Eleventh Division, acting captain of the Eleventh Division for the time being."

"above!"

The announcement of this news was like a bolt from the blue.

The captains who participated in the meeting, except for those who should have known, looked at each other in confusion.

Aizen also showed a surprised expression.

But in fact, he knew about this matter, because the proposal for this personnel change was submitted by Yamamoto to the Central 46th Office for review yesterday.

Aizen, who controls the Central Forty-Six Chambers, does not intend to use this card frequently to attract other people's attention.

He did not interfere and let Room 46 discuss it on its own.

The result was that the 46th Central Office approved the proposal.

"Well, everyone, it's mainly my fault."

At this time, Ukitake Jushiro stood up and explained to everyone:

"Everyone knows that I have always been in poor health. The operation of the 13th Division is thanks to Shiba Kaiyan and her fiancée."

"In addition, there are two young soldiers, Sentaro from the Kotsubaki family and Kiyone from the Kotsubaki family."

Ukitake nodded to Basuemon Kotsubaki of the 7th Division and Soi Fong of the 11th Division.

Because the two people he mentioned were the son of the vice-captain of the 7th Division, Kotsubaki, and the sister of Soi Fong's fifth seat, Togetsu Yuune.

"Recently, it has been a turbulent time, and the Soul Society has encountered many changes."

"I've been taking up too much manpower, but haven't been able to properly fulfill my responsibilities as captain of Squad 13. I'm already feeling extremely uneasy."

"Originally, the plan was to transfer Haiyan, who was the vice-captain and acting captain of the 10th Division, back to take over my position as captain of the 13th Division once Captain Shiba Isshin took over."

“Who knew that Haiyan would suffer such a thing.”

"This makes me feel really guilty. I always feel that it was because of my incompetence that Haiyan was forced to take on too many responsibilities that far exceeded his job title, and ultimately encountered such a misfortune."

Talking about Shiba Kaiyan, Ukitake Jushiro's expression turned sad:

"Everyone, I am very sad to inform you of something here."

"Although the Captain-General was wise and brave, he eliminated the evil Arrancar Great Hollow, Sar Apollo."

"But Vice Captain Shiba Kaiyan, Kaiyan, has suffered a severe blow to his soul and is no longer able to serve as a Shinigami."

"Captain Unohana and Captain Shiba can both confirm the truth of this matter."

Everyone turned their attention to the two captains mentioned, only to see Shiba Isshin with a heavy and sorrowful expression on his face.

Unohana Retsu nodded, acknowledging what Ukitake Jushiro said.

"Therefore, following my written request to the Captain-General and the review by the Central Forty-Sixth Office, the decision was made to have both Shiba Kaiyan and Shiba retire."

"I also need to take responsibility for causing such a loss of talent."

"Besides, I shouldn't be doing nothing in this position any longer, so I'm choosing to resign at this time."

Ukitake spoke so sorrowfully that the meeting room fell silent for a moment.

"Ukitake, your contributions to Soul Society are evident to all."

"From now on, put down your burdens, have a good rest, and do something you like."

Kyoraku Shunsui, the only person qualified to speak and plead for Ukitake, followed the decision read out by Yamamoto.

After a few words, the final conclusion is made, leaving others speechless.

Fortunately, this was also Ukitake's wish. He nodded gratefully and said:

"Now, although Seireitei has four new captains, it has greatly supplemented the battle sequence."

"It's also a good time for me to leave without worry."

"From now on, I will serve as the dean of the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy and lead Haiyan and Du in their activities."

"To train a new generation of young Shinigami for Seireitei."

After saying this, Ukitake bowed deeply.

After a long time, spontaneous applause broke out in the meeting room.

When the applause died down, Yamamoto slammed his scabbard on the floor, finalizing the personnel changes:

"If there is no objection, this matter will be carried out accordingly."

"That's it, let's break up the meeting!"

Soi Fong originally planned to find Yamamoto to find out the truth as soon as the meeting ended.

But what Ukitake said at the meeting surprised her.

Haiyan actually lost the power of the god of death?

Aizen stealing his Bankai actually caused such serious harm?

Isn't that just a prototype?

Originally in Hueco Mundo, Aizen didn't know that Soi Fong had escaped the influence of [Hollow Sea Mirage], nor was she hypnotized by [Mirror Flower Water Moon].

Therefore, when talking with Sal Apollo, Soi Fong learned a lot of information.

This includes Aizen using the Hollow with fusion ability to steal the prototype of Shiba Kaiyan's Bankai.

And kill the big hollow, use its heart, and fuse it to use the pseudo-卐解 [Hollow Mirage].

But since returning from Hueco Mundo, Soi Fong has visited Shiba Kaiyan several more times and found that he is in good health and is slowly recovering.

Who knew he wouldn't be able to be the God of Death anymore?!

This made Soi Fong very worried, and after the meeting, she stopped Ukitake who was about to leave.

"Ah, Soi-Feng."

When Ukitake saw Soi-Fong, he apologized first:

"I'm so sorry for not informing you in advance."

"After much thought, I can only trust you with the affairs of the Thirteenth Division."

"So, I mentioned this idea to the old man."

He scratched his head apologetically and said helplessly:

"And the old man seemed to like this proposal very much and actually read it out directly. You should not blame me."

"We will both work together at the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy in the future, and it will be very convenient to hand over many things."
