The only player in the world of Bleach

His clothes were also covered in dust, making him look somewhat disheveled.

To avoid being seen in this state by others, Yusuke Matsushita went back to the barracks first and made some simple preparations.

At the same time, since they had entered Aizen's sensing range, the other party naturally deactivated this part of Kyoka Suigetsu's ability.

168: Kenpachi Zaraki

Yusuke Matsushita, who had just finished showering, was rubbing his hair when Soi Fon approached him with some documents in hand.

She walked quickly over, looking preoccupied, but upon seeing Matsushita Yusuke, her previously furrowed brows became somewhat furrowed.

Even the words that were about to come out of her mouth took a completely different turn at this moment.

"You...you look completely different from before?"

—For people who are too close, it is relatively difficult to hide the traces of pretense.

That depends on how the person involved behaves.

"It was just a little exercise... nothing serious. So, is there some problem you need me to handle?"

Soi Fon shook the document in her hand with a suspicious look, and after thinking for a moment, she gave up the idea of ​​pursuing the matter further.

Forget it.

Anyway, our captain has always been a bit unreliable.

Seamless transition achieved.

"It's nothing complicated, I just wanted to let you know... The transfer I asked someone to arrange for me is all set now, and Gin Ichimaru officially enrolled last night."

Oh, that's a good thing.

Regarding Gin Ichimaru, it's just like what Yusuke Matsushita mentioned before... He doesn't have a bad impression of the kid, and considering his talent, he naturally has to make good use of it.

It's not impossible to train them by my side, but... why would I leave such a large educational facility unused and choose to do it all myself? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

Arranging for Gin Ichimaru to enroll in school and having him receive basic training through the Shinigami Academy is a reasonable use of resources.

Moreover, considering his squinty-eyed learning efficiency, he should be able to adapt and complete all the courses in just one to two years... otherwise, he wouldn't live up to his title of 'genius'.

Think about this.

Matsushita Yusuke's eyes lit up slightly, and he chuckled softly as he spoke.

"Has it already been arranged? The efficiency of the Beijing band leader is truly remarkable..."

Matsushita Yusuke wasn't particularly good at matters related to the education system, so he made a trip to the Eighth Division beforehand and had a chat with Kyoraku Shunsui over two jugs of sake.

This part is also part of daily social interaction, not just simple exchanges of interests. It involves communicating with people under appropriate pretexts, and even giving them some leverage... It is also a part of work.

Of course, these are all instructions from Lao Lan.

It can only be said that Aizen was too authoritative when it came to interpersonal relationships, leaving Matsushita Yusuke with no room for argument, and naturally he was very obedient.

"Secondly, there's the matter of various applications for new student enrollment... Although we did inform them in advance so that all graduates of the Spirit Arts Academy could receive this information, but..."

Soi Fon pondered for a moment before speaking.

"The results weren't ideal. The internal school survey showed that almost everyone's ambitions had nothing to do with the Eleventh Division. It seems that everyone still has a very prejudiced impression of us."

Yusuke Matsushita paused in his act of drying his hair, then sighed as if feeling utterly helpless.

Regarding this... it can be considered 'expected' in another sense.

"It's alright, these are all things we expected. We were mentally prepared beforehand, weren't we?"

Since the mess left by the ex is like this, if you want to correct this part, you have to put in more effort yourself.

Since it's a long-term investment anyway, there's no need to rush. I already have Ichimaru Silver futures, so taking my time with the rest is fine...

As he pondered this, Soi Fon behind him casually flipped through the document in her hand and began to recount the second half of the content.

"Ah, this..."

She hesitated for a moment.

This piqued Matsushita Yusuke's interest, and he turned his head slightly, asking with a curious expression.

"what happened?"

"Uh... I don't think it's a big deal. But because it's a bit strange, I wrote it down."

Soi Fon scratched the back of her head and said carefully.

“Just last night, a big, ragged, and very thin man came to you… He was wearing an eye patch and looked quite menacing. I initially thought he was going to force his way in.”

but.

"After hearing that you weren't in the barracks, he obediently left. He said he would come back today."

"...???"

Yusuke Matsushita stopped what he was doing and looked behind him with a subtle expression.

Just now, this guy casually mentioned something very serious?

"What does that person look like?"

"No, wait, that's not what you're asking." Matsushita Yusuke shook his head, thought for a moment, and then added.

Was there anyone else with him?

Soi Fon blinked, then nodded decisively.

"Yes, he was with a little girl with pink hair, who looked quite cute."

Wow, that's amazing.

Zaraki has come knocking?!

Yusuke Matsushita scratched his head vigorously, his expression quite subtle at that moment.

Although the person involved knew this day would come sooner or later, they didn't expect it to be this way—wasn't this guy a resident of Rukongai? How did he get through the city gate blockade? Did he just barge in?!

And they came straight to me right away, so why wouldn't I go...?

hiss! ! !

Matsushita Yusuke seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and at that moment he abruptly stood up.

"I have something to take care of... Soi Fon, I'll leave the team's affairs to you for now."

As he strode towards the gate, he casually took down the haori that hung at the entrance, symbolizing his captaincy.

His hair was still wet, but he had no desire to take care of it. He hastily tied it together, secured it with a knot, and left with a serious expression.

He walked away in a great hurry, causing Soi Fon behind him to show a slightly worried expression.

Because of their time together, she had come to understand Matsushita Yusuke's temperament very well. He wouldn't show this kind of expression unless he encountered some intractable problem.

and so.

'Who exactly is that guy who looks like a homeless person?'

Yusuke Matsushita left the barracks and walked straight towards the area closest to his barracks without stopping...

Fourth Division headquarters!!!

There was no need for announcements; as soon as Matsushita Yusuke approached, the guards saluted and gestured for him to come in.

"Captain Unohana said that if Captain Matsushita comes to visit... he can just come in!"

That's right, this is it.

This matter is most likely related to the madwoman!

169: [Mission: The Strongest Kenpachi of Our Time]

If Matsushita Yusuke was only at the conceptual stage before, after receiving confirmation, he was completely certain of his guess.

So it really was you!

Yusuke Matsushita charged straight in, heading directly towards the captain's office area.

He stood in front of the gate, and just as he raised his hand to pat it, a familiar voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Then I won't be polite!

"Sorry."

Yusuke Matsushita pushed open the door and entered.

There was no one else in the room. Retsu Unohana sat behind her desk, sipping a cup of matcha slowly.

Judging from his expression alone, this guy was in a completely peaceful and healthy state... If other people were present, they would most likely give this crazy woman some face and say some polite words.

But Kenpachi doesn't need to do that.

Yusuke Matsushita strode forward, raised his right index finger, and gently tapped the table.

A few short, sharp sounds were produced.

"Old woman, aren't you going to explain this to me?"

A very impolite way of addressing someone.

It was simply because Yusuke Matsushita had sparred with her several times in private that their relationship had become far more familiar than that of ordinary captains, reaching a level beyond that of colleagues.

However... that's not a reason to call someone an old woman.

In other circumstances or under different conditions, Retsu Unohana might have directly turned hostile.

But the current situation is clearly different... because she instead showed a rather pleasant smile, tilted her head back slightly, and said with a beaming smile.

"What's there to explain? This is your destiny, and it's our responsibility, Kenpachi, isn't it?"

Yusuke Matsushita rolled his eyes.

I had learned a little about Kenpachi Zaraki from Retsu Unohana long before. And because of our many interactions, Yusuke Matsushita knew that this guy had very special feelings for Kenpachi.

It's similar to the 'eagerness to hunt down' a talented younger generation.

But this is also reasonable.

After all, Kenpachi Zaraki was able to injure Retsu Unohana despite lacking food and clothing; such talent is truly remarkable.

Now that this guy has 'mastered his skills,' if we follow the normal timeline, it should be around the time he comes to the door, takes down Ghost Rock City, and completes the handover of the captaincy.

This part of the plot wasn't originally in the novel; it was all left to the imagination of the audience.

Now it seems that these things are more or less 'traceable'.

'It's highly likely that the old woman watched Gengmu grow stronger and, feeling his strength was sufficient, introduced him through the city gates so he could openly and honestly destroy Ghost Rock City, thus completing the handover...'

I thought this matter would take many more years, but in the end, it only took Matsushita Yusuke a year to take office before they attacked from the other side.

Damn it, the taxes from Goose City will be collected a hundred years from now!

"Stop spouting such high-sounding nonsense, what are you really thinking?"

Faced with Matsushita Yusuke's questioning, Unohana Retsu put down her teacup, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The aura surrounding her suddenly darkened, revealing a sinister undercurrent.

In a sense, it is an exposure of one's true nature.

"Of course, it's to witness the battle between the new generation and to witness the birth of the true Kenpachi."

What kind of magnetic field makes the audience bloodthirsty?

That's what they say, but from Unohana Retsu's perspective, there's nothing wrong with this behavior itself.

So the original Kenpachi enjoyed watching you guys fight? No problem...

Matsushita Yusuke could only scratch his cheek in frustration, sigh softly, and then say something.

"If possible, I hope you can contact me a month or two in advance so that I have time to make some preparations."

"Kenpachi won't complain about these things; you should be excited and happy."

"Don't lump me in with lunatics like you..."

but.

Yusuke Matsushita sighed softly and put down his right hand that was rubbing his cheek.
