Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

When taking a hot spring bath, I like to stay behind the rocks near the women's bath and listen to the young and pleasant voices from the other side of the wooden wall.

This can help the elderly relax a little physically and mentally.

Yesterday, when he saw the new captain Dongxian approaching, Yamamoto did not avoid him with a mentality of 50% curiosity and 50% admiration for his fellow travelers.

Who would have thought that the junior would be so reckless that he would use his spiritual sense to look next door without Yamamoto even noticing!

By the time Yamamoto noticed the spiritual sense tracking him from next door, it was already too late.

A lightning strike that was clearly from Soi Fong and an extremely familiar [Sai] from Unohana Retsu came crashing down.

Because of the conductivity of water and the suddenness of the incident, Yamamoto was not able to avoid the lightning strike and his beard, which was soaked in water, was all blown up!

Then, because his beloved beard exploded, his breath became disordered, and his mouth was blocked by a gag.

Shame!

Even Yamamoto, who was in the wrong, chose to run away like Tosen Yaoi.

Who knew, we would run into Komamura again!

"Alas, I haven't done anything bad. I have nothing to fear from my own shadow, so why should I feel guilty?"

Thinking of this, Yamamoto was too lazy to explain the matter any further. He calmed down and said:

"Everyone, today's emergency meeting is due to two applications."

"Two... retirement applications."

When everyone heard this, they looked up in surprise.

Yamamoto looked down and said:

"You two, please speak for yourselves."

Two voices came:

"As you command, Lord Captain."

But then the vice-captain of the second squad, Oomaeda Kiyoshi, and the vice-captain of the third squad, Shooting Ranger Chitetsu walked out of the formation.

The former god's father, a tall and mighty man wearing a large gold chain, grinned and said to everyone:

"Oh everyone, family affairs are very busy and I urgently need to go home to take charge."

"I've been in this position for many years and I know my own abilities. I don't have the talent to acquire Bankai."

"Now that the Second Division's affairs are running smoothly, I'm going to retire and give way to the rising stars~"

The shooting ranger's mother, the silver-haired and serious-looking Shechang Qiantie, just kept her "Iron Lady" face stern and explained:

"I don't have much to say. I just feel that I am old and in poor health, so I want to go home and recuperate."

"However, I do agree with one of Xi Zhijin's points."

"As outstanding young Shinigami emerge in the Soul Society, it's time for us old, useless guys to step aside."

The second and third squads do not have a captain in charge, but rely on these two senior vice-captains to act as agents and take charge of the work.

Now, the two old men said they wanted to retire, which really surprised all the captains and deputy captains who were in attendance.

Even Soi Fong forgot about the hot spring incident she was concerned about and used her mouth to confirm Omaeda Nozomi's intention.

Are you serious?

Omaeda Nozomi smiled and mouthed the following reply:

Wait for the second team and I will explain.

A cough was heard, followed by the sound of a scabbard hitting the ground:

"Quiet."

Yamamoto said:

"The two vice-captains have worked hard and made great contributions. They really deserve a good rest."

"However, retirement is not something that can be done immediately."

"Please hold on for a few more years until the captains of the second and third squads take over and the handover is completed smoothly."

"As ordered."

"Yes."

Ōmaeda Kiyoshi and Shaiba Chitetsu both responded respectfully.

----------

The sudden and explosive news quickly spread throughout Soul Society.

According to convention, if there is an acting captain in a squad, it is generally assumed that he or she will take over the position of captain after meeting the qualifications and abilities.

Unless someone like Soi Fong is already a captain, she serves as an acting captain in order to build the squad.

Otherwise, it is usually just a matter of time before the vice-captain serves as acting captain and becomes the official captain.

But today is breaking the routine.

It can be said that today's interim meeting released a signal:

The captain position of the second and third squads is vacant!

For a moment, everyone in Soul Society was in turmoil.

"Senior Shooting Range Sentsu can understand that it is indeed time for her to retire and she will not take over as captain."

"But what's going on, Omaeda-san?"

When Soi Fong returned to the squad, she was still frowning in thought:

"The situation in the Second Division is not ordinary. It involves the Shihouin family and the Secret Mobile Team."

"It's impossible to just throw it away like that. There must be something hidden."

Because Omaeda Kiyoshin asked Soi Fong to visit her later, Soi Fong made a rare trip back to the 11th Division.

Even though the 11th Division is closer to the 2nd Division than the 13th Division.

This is also because Soi-Fong wants to come back and ask the two relevant people:

Her vice-captain and four seats: Shaiba Tetsuzaemon and Ōmaeda Kichiyo.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Soi Fong entered the squadron gate, someone slid down on his knees and came out!

"team leader--------"

A tough guy wearing sunglasses suddenly appears:

"Captain! I want to learn Bankai!!"

Chapter 268 Continuous Visits

"So... this is the plan of the old veteran at the shooting range?"

Soi Fong put down her teacup and asked the shooting ranger sitting below.

The veteran shooter she mentioned was certainly not the hunk in sunglasses who was good at sliding on his knees.

But it was his mother, the veteran vice-captain of the Third Division, Ms. Shooting Ranger.

She was an iron lady who was meticulous and had the temperament of a woman behind a gangster.

It is said that after the former captain of the Third Division, Fengqiao Loujuro, took office, he was chased and scolded by the old woman all day long because of his weak character.

Sitting below Soi Fong, Shooter Tetsuzaemon straightened his back and nodded.

"Yes, that's exactly what my mother told me."

"Although I don't know what happened to the second squad, there's nothing hidden about the third squad."

Shooting Field Tetsuzaemon smiled helplessly and said:

"She believes that if she doesn't interfere, I can master Bankai within ten years."

Rui Feng's face was filled with black lines, and she asked back:

"And she asked you to master Bankai and become captain within six years?!"

Yes, that's the case:

Ms. Shoten Chitetsu, the acting captain of the Third Division, believes that her son has received good training in the Eleventh Division and is expected to master Bankai within ten years.

Therefore, he decided to retire in the sixth year, forcing Tetsuzaemon Sekiya to master Bankai in advance and run for the vacant position of captain of the third squad.

Broken Bee: ...

What the fuck is this shooting range?! (No swear words)

But Sheba Tetsuzaemon scratched his head and said without surprise:

"My old mother...is actually quite good at judging people and things."

"If I'm under pressure, I'm still 50% sure I can master it within six years."

"If I can get your guidance, Captain, then my chances of success will increase to 70% to 80%!"

"No, eighty-nine... ninety-nine percent!"

He rubbed his big hands together and said awkwardly:

"I just don't know... Captain, the 11th Division..."

Shooting Range Tetsuzaemon was a little confused.

Logically speaking, the family education he received since childhood taught him to be an extremely competent chief officer or a loyal adjutant.

It can be said that the value of the Shechang family is reflected in their loyalty and hard work.

In the past few years since he joined the 11th Squadron, he has been practicing this philosophy and putting it into practice.

But not long ago, his mother called him home and told him about this plan:

"I want you to take over the Third Division and become captain."

According to Shechang Qiantie, the Shechang family has had chief officers for generations, with the highest-ranking one being a deputy captain, making them an undoubted chief officer family.

But now, after years of hard work, a shooting range has emerged.

She originally thought that she would need more than a hundred years of experience in the shooting range before she would be able to be promoted to captain.

Unexpectedly, he met Soi Fong, joined the 11th Division, and his growth progressed by leaps and bounds.

As the head of the family, the old woman made a prompt decision and decided to give Tetsuzaemon a helping hand at the shooting range while she still had some ability.

Let him become the first captain from the shooting range!

Soi Fong stroked her chin, listened to Shooting Ranger's story, and nodded from time to time.

"A thousand iron shooters, huh?... It can be said that a mother knows her son best."

Soi Fong commented internally.

As someone who knew the plot, she had to say that Sheba Qiantie's vision was extremely sharp.

If Soi Fong hadn't disrupted the plot, Tetsuzaemon Sekiya would have surely become the captain of the Seventh Division after the Thousand Year Bloody War.

After I intervened in the plot, the shooting range came under my control.

Received more rigorous (referring to beatings) and more comprehensive (referring to team affairs) training!

Although it is not clear to what extent the shooting range has grown.

But thanks to him, Kenpachi Zaraki, who has now mastered the Half-Shikai and learned the Genjijuku kendo, was able to last for thirty rounds.

Soi Fong knew that this guy was hiding something.

According to her speculation, Sheba Tetsuzaemon may have awakened his Bankai decades earlier than in the original work.

After all, the spiritual pressure that was sensed on a daily basis already showed that Sheba had touched the edge of clear Bankai.

The acting captain and vice-captain of the third squad, Shooting Ranger Chitetsu, who rarely saw his son fight at his full strength, had a clear grasp of his son's strength level.

He even used six years of retirement as a means to force the shooting range to become stronger.

This is really...

"Damn, it's so stable."
