Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy

"Understood, understood, Captain Shikatori, don't worry!"

Captain Shikato took someone as his disciple!

Shiba Kaien suddenly awoke with a start.

Chapter 402 Hell Expeditionary Force

When Shiba Kaien woke up, he found himself in a room with several unconscious freshmen lying on the beds around him.

"I've fainted?!"

Shiba Kaien quickly recalled what had happened before he fainted.

More importantly, the testing appears to be over.

Through the window, you can see the testing arena outside, which is now empty, indicating that the ranking test has obviously ended.

Ruined!

He was knocked down as soon as he entered the arena, so his score must be very low!

"You're awake."

Deer Qu entered from outside the door in July.

"Captain Shikatori!" Kaien Shiba said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, I did terribly today..."

"So you gave up?" July asked.

"I will not give up!"

"I want to learn kendo from Captain Shikatori!"

Please give me another chance!

"I will train hard and defeat my opponent!"

Shiba Kaien quickly rallied; he was not one to be easily defeated by difficulties.

“You have good talent. As long as you practice diligently, you will surely achieve great things in the future.” July nodded gently. “Seeing your sincerity, I will give you a chance and take you as my disciple.”

"Really?!" Shiba Kaien was overjoyed and immediately changed her address to "Teacher!"

"Okay, come back to the dojo with me, and I'll introduce you to your senior brothers and sisters."

"Yes!"

......

Rukongai, a certain forest.

A silver-haired boy crouched in the grass, intently watching what was happening outside.

Outside the bushes, several Grim Reapers knelt before a bespectacled male Grim Reaper, offering him a glass jar.

"Captain Aizen, here's what you wanted!"

Death, kneeling on the ground, spoke respectfully.

“Well done.” Aizen Sousuke nodded slightly, picked up the glass jar, and poured the contents into the Hogyoku in his hand.

The Hōgyoku quickly absorbed everything in the glass jar.

Hiding in the bushes, Gin-shin Ichimaru dared not utter a sound. He knew very well the difference between himself and the Grim Reapers, and he would not go out to his death.

"It was these Grim Reapers who took Rangiku's things!"

Gin Ichimaru memorized the faces of these Grim Reapers.

Not long ago, his friend Matsumoto Rangiku was attacked by these Grim Reapers, who stole something from her. He followed the direction they left in, hoping to remember their faces so that he could help Matsumoto Rangiku find what she had lost in the future.

Gin Ichimaru stumbled upon Aizen Sousuke, who was collecting fragments of the Soul King.

After visiting the secret vaults of the five great families, Aizen Sousuke's Hogyoku was almost complete. There weren't many other ways to obtain Soul King fragments, so he set his sights on the souls who possessed Soul King fragments.

Outside the bushes, Aizen Sousuke suddenly looked towards them, causing Ichimaru Gin's body to tense up instantly.

"Oops, I was discovered!"

Gin Ichimaru held his breath, trying to minimize his presence.

Aizen Sousuke's lips curled into a faint smile, seemingly oblivious to the small figure hiding in the bushes.

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

The Grim Reapers left the forest.

"Huff-hah—huff—" Gin Ichimaru gasped for air as if he were drowning.

When the leader of the Grim Reapers looked over, he felt as if he had been choked.

"They let me go?"

Gin Ichimaru frowned; he didn't believe the Grim Reaper hadn't noticed him.

That subtle change in expression was telling him—I've noticed you.

Ichimaru Gin couldn't understand it, so he didn't think about it too much; he still needed to rush back to treat Matsumoto Rangiku.

......

Several months later, the Technology Development Bureau reported good news to July.

The Technology Development Bureau's current main focus is on addressing the effects of hellfire on spirits and developing drugs to combat hellfire.

Yhwach has allied with Hell, and they have to consider Hell's affairs. Prolonged exposure to Hell's phosphorescence will corrupt their spirits and may even transform them into Hell creatures.

"Captain, the experiment results are in!"

Ajin rarely showed such undisguised excitement.

How long will it last?

"A 10 ml injection can last for a month!"

"A month has passed, and there has been a lot of progress this time."

July nodded in satisfaction. One injection of the antibody could last for a month, which gave the Grim Reapers the possibility of exploring Hell.

A few days later, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni summoned all the captains to the First Division's council chamber.

Not long ago, July, along with Yoruichi Shihouin, Kana Azajo, Sosuke Aizen, Sojun Kuchiki, Kensei Muguruma, and Isshin Shiba, submitted an important proposal to Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

"Release Saito's immortality?"

Kyoraku Shunsui muttered to himself.

Saito is immortal and was the first captain of the Sixth Division, but he is now imprisoned in the Abyss.

This matter is from hundreds of years ago, and I never expected that Shikagori Nanatsuki would bring it up today.

"How was that first captain imprisoned in the Abyss?"

Aikawa Rao is the newly appointed captain and doesn't know much about this matter.

"Saito is immortal... Back then, she had a conflict with the Tsunayoshiro family and publicly killed the head of the Tsunayoshiro family..."

Jushiro Ukitake recalls the reason why Saito, who is immortal, was imprisoned in the Avici Hell.

"Tell me your thoughts," Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said.

"My idea is very simple: the Gotei 13 is short of people, and what they lack are captain-level experts."

July made a startling statement.

"The team leader positions are already full, right?"

Kyoraku Shunsui scratched his face, somewhat puzzled.

"It's not that the 13th Gotei 13 is short of a captain."

I learned from Lord Soul King that Yhwach has the potential to surpass the limits of Quincy, which would likely be a disaster for the entire Three Realms.

If we can find his location in Hell and kill him... it would be a good thing for us and for the Three Realms.

But if we are to form a Hell Expeditionary Force, we will need more captain-level experts to take turns going to Hell to search for Yhwach's location.

July explained.

“Captain Shikatori’s concerns are quite reasonable. The last war with the Wandenreich was already devastating enough. If it happened in Soul Society, the consequences would be unimaginable. It would be best if we could nip the crisis in the bud in Hell.” Jushiro Ukitake frowned. “However, does the Hell Expeditionary Force need to be stationed in Hell like the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force? I’m afraid the Shinigami’s bodies would have difficulty adapting to such an environment for a long time.”

“Captain Ukitake, don’t worry. The Technology Development Bureau has made a breakthrough in its research. The Hellfire Pyrotechnic Acid Antibody Drug we developed can allow Death to stay in Hell for a long time without fear of the corrosive effects of Hellfire Pyrotechnic Acid,” July explained.

"That's great news!" Kenpachi Kuruyashiki stroked his chin. "You absolutely have to count me in this time! There must be an endless stream of villains to kill in hell!"

He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of endless evil people in hell for him to chop down.

"I will submit the proposal to the 46th Chamber. The Tsunayo family is now without anyone, so there shouldn't be much resistance to this matter." After pondering for a moment, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni decided to find a pretext to redeem himself and get the 46th Chamber to release the man.

Chapter 403 Obstacle

Central Room 46.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni submitted the proposal from July and others to the Central 46th Room.

The decision to imprison Saito in the Avici Prison was made by the Central 46. Now, to pardon Saito's crimes, the Central 46 must also obtain their consent.

"Release Saito's immortality?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"She killed the head of a noble family in the street, how can we let her go so easily!"

After reading the documents submitted by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the noble members of the Central 46th Chamber immediately began to discuss among themselves.

Most lawmakers directly rejected the proposal.

Many even believe that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was testing them, trying to undermine their authority by overturning their previous rulings.

In recent decades, most of the newly appointed captains of the Gotei 13 have come from Rukongai, while high-ranking nobles such as Tsunayoshi and Kasumi Ohji, who hold positions in the 46 Chambers, have been involved in one incident after another.

They believed that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was clearly targeting the aristocratic forces!

This made them feel seriously threatened, and they became increasingly conservative in their decision-making.

“We must eliminate the threat of Yhwach, but the Gotei 13 is short-handed. We should not waste the strength of Saito, who is immortal.”

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni frowned. He had thought the matter would go smoothly, since the Tsuna-yayo family, whom Saito Immortal had offended, was now extinct.

"Didn't you just easily wipe out the Quincy? Yhwach alone is nothing to fear!"

"Yes, Yhwach was defeated by you hundreds of years ago. Even if he were to be resurrected, so what!"

None of the members of the 46th Chamber had participated in the recent Quincy war, did not think the Quincy of the Wandenreich were particularly powerful, and even thought that the battle reports from some time ago were exaggerated by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"Yagyu, do you think so too? You were a participant in that war hundreds of years ago and witnessed Yhwach's power. You shouldn't be so short-sighted as they are!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni ignored the chattering members of parliament and looked at the middle-aged man in the center whose right eye and right arm were wrapped in bandages.

He is Yagyu Danzo, the chief judge and head of the 46th Chamber of Sages.

He also had another identity in the past—the Second Kenpachi, Yagyu Danzo!

For some reason, Retsu Unohana gave up the title of Kenpachi, and Danzo Yagyu was the one who took over the title of Kenpachi from Retsu Unohana.

After losing an eye and an arm in a certain battle, Yagyu Danzo was defeated by a rising star, losing the title of Kenpachi and the position of captain of the 11th Division.

However, the Yagyu clan is one of the members of the Golden Seal Nobles. With the help of the Yagyu clan, Yagyu Danzo successfully entered the Forty-Six Chambers. Based on his seniority and past achievements, he worked his way up to the position of chief judge of the Forty-Six Chambers of Sages.

In theory, the presiding judge of the 46th Chamber is equal to the captain of the 13th Division of the Gotei 13. There is no difference in their positions; both are the highest representatives of their respective systems.

Therefore, if Yagyu Danzo could agree to this proposal, the resistance would be much smaller.

Yagyu Danzo said unhurriedly:

"The threat posed by Yhwach cannot be ignored, but..."

How can you guarantee that after releasing Saito, who is immortal, she won't take the opportunity to defect?

I have read your proposal to form the Hell Expeditionary Force.

The Hell Expeditionary Force is destined to remain in Hell for an extended period. If Saito, being immortal, were to decide to defect, given her strength as the first captain, I doubt you could stop her, would you?
