From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

...

Looking at the large carriage in front of him, which was parked next to the Fourth Division's barracks and was loaded with sundries, daily necessities, and kitchen utensils, Tohru Yuune couldn't help but be stunned.

Is this moving?

It was the first time she had seen a new member of the team bring so many things, including pots, pans, and all kinds of kitchen utensils. Was he a new member of the team, or was he the cook the captain found for them?

Their Fourth Division does have a place to stay, but the conditions are definitely not as good as living alone in Seireitei, so generally only the new Shinigami from Rukongai will choose to live in the squad barracks for a period of time.

When the salaries are paid out and a certain number of "rings" are accumulated, they will choose to move out.

As for the Shinigami who originally live in the Seireitei, they basically choose to stay at home and only come to the squad during "working hours".

-

Rings are the currency of Soul Society, made of special materials and special techniques that only the Shiba family has. Moreover, rings are not only currency, but also energy sources containing high-purity natural spirit particles.

In an emergency, the Shinigami can directly absorb the spirit particles in the ring for replenishment, and the ring can also be used to accelerate the training of the Shinigami. However, this behavior is a bit extravagant. Except for the great nobles in Soul Society, ordinary Shinigami cannot do this.

This is also the reason why rings can become the only currency in Soul Society.

However, the ring is of no significance to a captain-level Grim Reaper. The captain's salary is extremely high, and this thing is basically not lacking. Moreover, the speed at which a captain-level Grim Reaper absorbs spirit particles in the air is much faster than directly absorbing the ring.

As for Kujo Tachibana, he used Breathing Method 4.0 to absorb spirit particles. In this world of death, when it comes to the speed of absorbing spirit particles, he ranked second and no one could be ranked first.

Therefore, he would never be short of energy. The ring was also of little value to him, except for occasional use in shopping in Jingling Court.

Kotetsu Yuune took Kujo Tachibana and drove the large carriage loaded with luggage to the Fourth Division's barracks. He looked at Kujo Tachibana and asked curiously:

"Tachibana-kun, are you the new chef of our Fourth Division? Why do you bring so many kitchen utensils?"

Jiujo Tachibana just smiled and shook his head, explaining:

"That's not the case. Cooking is just one of the few hobbies in my long life. Thank you so much for coming today, Officer Yongyin. I'll treat you to a meal when you're free. My cooking skills are pretty good."

"Oh, then thank you in advance, but I can't eat too much, I'm afraid I will continue to grow taller..." Tohru Yuyin muttered softly.

"Haha..." Hearing this, Jiujo Ju couldn't help but be amused by this silly girl.

After the two drove the carriage to the team house, Kotetsu Yuune brought Kujo Tachibana to the tea room.

Without letting Kujo Tachibana wait long, after a while, Totsu Yuune came here with Captain Unohana.

"Hello, Captain Unohana, I'm Kujo Tachibana." Kujo Tachibana stood up and said.

"Hello too, please sit down. This is our second time meeting, right, Kujo Tachibana?" Unohana Retsu bent over and sat opposite Kujo Tachibana, saying with a playful look on his face.

Nodding with a smile on his face, Kujo Tachibana sat down and said softly: "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you, Captain. However...what I said at the Spiritual Arts Academy that day was not a lie. I am indeed very interested in Huidao."

Watching the conversation between the two people in front of him, Tohru Yuin was also a little confused. This newcomer was really brave. He was not inferior to Captain Unohana in momentum.

In Tohru Yuin's eyes, the conversation between the two people at this time was more like two equal beings communicating with each other.

...

Unohana put one hand on her chest and touched her chin with the other, and said calmly:

"Well, I believe that if you didn't like Kaido, you wouldn't be able to innovate a completely new Kaido technique."

"It's just that I always feel that you, who entered the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy with a fourth-level spiritual pressure, are a genius who mastered the Shikai the first time you came into contact with the shallow fight."

"You want to join our 4th Division so badly, so you must have some other purpose! Tachibana-kun... have you already mastered Bankai?"

Kujo Tachibana did not deny Captain Unohana's guess, but just said with a smile:

"Researching the Way of Reincarnation is the reason why I joined the Fourth Division. Captain Unohana, can you pick out a yard with a kitchen for me in the Fourth Division's barracks? I want to live in our Fourth Division's barracks for a long time."

Hearing this, Unohana Retsu just looked at Kujo Tachibana calmly. Kujo Tachibana did not avoid his gaze and just looked at him frankly.

After a moment, looking at Kujo Tachibana's calm eyes, Unohana Retsu couldn't help but stick out his tongue and gently licked his upper lips. He had the look of a hunter looking at his prey, his eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

Looking down at the Zanpakutō hung on Kujo Tachibana's waist, Unohana Retsu suppressed his excitement and said:

"I haven't seen a young man like you for a long time. I like your eyes, and your knife... is very good!"

"Ju-kun, I hope you can handle things in moderation. If you can anger me, I'm really looking forward to it. Do your best, young god of death..."

After saying this, Unohana Retsu stood up and looked at Kotetsu Yuune who was standing beside him.

"Yongyin, take the third seat of our fourth squad to find a better yard!"

After saying this, Unohana Retsu was the first to walk out of the tea room.

Only Kotetsu Yuune was left with a look of shock on his face.

When he first entered the Spiritual Arts Academy, he already had the fourth-level spiritual pressure. Isn't that vice-captain level? Is he stronger than her?

And you created your own way?

Can you start solving the problem by getting the shallow hit?

Even now, he seems to have mastered Bankai? ?

Looking at Kujo Tachibana in front of him with a gentle smile on his face, Kotetsu Yuyin could only sigh in his heart: Where did this monster come from!

Chapter 9: The first person under the captain?

Looking at this traditional Japanese courtyard in front of you, the entire layout is sliding doors, with excellent lighting and ventilation. There are three separate rooms in the main house, one which can be used as a bedroom, one study, and one kitchen.

The window of the master bedroom faces a rockery in front of the courtyard, and gurgling water flows down from the middle of the mountain.

Looking at the beautiful courtyard in front of him, Jiujo Tachibana nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Kotetsu Yuune beside him curiously and asked:

"Officer Yongyin, didn't you say at the beginning that the accommodation in the team barracks was average? I think this small courtyard is pretty good. Although it's a bit small, it's enough for me to live alone."

After a brief hesitation, Kotetsu Yuune said:

"This was built with Captain Unohana's own money. The captain usually lives in this courtyard when he has nothing to do."

"Oh, no wonder. This small courtyard is given to me to live in now. Where does Captain Unohana usually live?" Kujo Tachibana said with some confusion.

Kotetsu Yuune smiled and said, "It's okay. The captain asked me to bring you here. The captain has another yard. By the way, Captain Unohana also lives in the team dormitory for a long time."

"Is that so...Okay, thank you so much for troubling you today, Yongyin!" Kujo Tachibana thanked very seriously.

"Kujo Tachibana Sansei, you are so polite. Now you are my boss." Kotetsu Yuune said softly with his head down.

The two of them didn't waste any more time. After simply placing the luggage brought by Kujo Tachibana, Kotetsu Yuune left the courtyard.

-

That afternoon, seeing Kujo Tachibana appear in his office, Unohana Retsu was only slightly stunned, and then he said:

"Kujo Tachibana Sansei, what's the matter? Are you dissatisfied with your new residence?"

Jiujo Tachibana smiled and shook his head.

"Captain Unohana, I am very satisfied with that courtyard. Thank you. I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I thought I would come here to learn about the basic situation of our Fourth Division and my usual work content."

"Oh? It seems that Tachibana-kun is still a very responsible god of death. Then I can be more relaxed in the future."

After Unohana Retsu teased Kujo Tachibana, he immediately introduced some basic conditions within the Fourth Division and some matters that the Third Seat of the Fourth Division should be responsible for handling.

There are a total of 368 Shinigami in the Fourth Division, including 18 chief officers. Their main responsibility is to be responsible for all medical rescue work within the Gotei 13, and they are occasionally needed to accompany other divisions.

Together, go on missions assigned by the Central 46th Office to provide basic medical assistance to other divisions, such as going to Rukongai, the human world, or Hueco Mundo!

According to the difficulty of the tasks, a medical rescue team is usually led by the chief officer of the fourth squad and temporarily joins the teams of other squads.

As for the days when there are no field missions, in addition to the 13th Division, some nobles in the Seireitei would sometimes find the 4th Division when they were injured or unwell, so the 4th Division's work on weekdays was quite busy.

After listening to Captain Unohana's introduction, Kujo Tachibana slowly nodded.

"Tachibana-kun, I wonder if you could show me the Kaido no Jutsu that you demonstrated to Seinosuke a few days ago? I'm a little curious." Unohana Retsu asked with a smile on his face.

"Of course, Captain Unohana, can we go to the treatment room? It may be more intuitive in actual operation." Kujo Tachibana explained softly.

Upon hearing this, Unohana Retsu took Kujo Tachibana to the treatment room in the team barracks without hesitation.

...

Looking at the patients in the beds and the trauma patients who had just arrived from the 11th Squadron, Kujo Tachibana used "Infinity" to scan around and immediately locked onto several targets.

He pointed at several wounded soldiers, some with external injuries, some with internal injuries, and some with broken bones, and said to Unohana Retsu with great confidence:

"Captain Unohana, this, this, and this, this... these wounded soldiers can all use my Palm Immortal Sword Technique. I can't say that they will recover immediately, but I can heal most of their injuries."

"Then you can give it a try. This is the new third seat in our fourth squad. Everyone come over and get to know him." Unohana Retsu did not comment, but turned his head and said to the members of the fourth squad around him.

Upon hearing the news, the members of the Fourth Division gathered around.

Jiujo Ju was not nervous either. He just silently mobilized the spirit energy in his body, and a layer of bright green light emerged from the palms of his hands in an instant.

He first came to a wounded man with broken ribs and serious internal damage. Without hesitation, Jiujo Ju stretched out his hands and inserted them into the wounded man's chest, moving his ribs to their original position.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he took out some necrotic body tissues inside. In less than a minute, Jiujo Tachibana had completed an extremely difficult zero-invasive surgery.

The patient had no anesthesia, no pain, and no feeling throughout the process. It was not until Kujo Tachibana's hand was completely removed from his body that he belatedly felt the relief after the pain in his body was relieved.

"How did you do it?" Unohana Retsu was also a little shocked. Although this kind of injury was just a piece of cake for her, the Kaido technique created by Kujo Tachibana had overturned her own understanding of Kaido...

Kujo Tachibana just looked at Unohana Retsu with a smile on his face and said in a gentle voice:

"Captain Unohana, do you want to learn this technique? I can teach you... If there are still people in the Fourth Division who want to learn it, I can also teach them for free."

Hearing this, the eyes of the members of the surrounding Fourth Division lit up. Among them, Tohru Yuune also looked at Kujo Tachibana with excitement.

"Don't worry, everyone! Wait until I finish treating these wounded people, and I will teach you all later." As Kujo Tachibana said this, he quickly walked to the side of another wounded person.

Seeing this, the members of the Fourth Division finally quieted down and watched Kujo Tachibana's performance obediently.

Captain Unohana, who was standing by, just watched quietly without saying a word.

A moment later, after treating several wounded soldiers, Captain Unohana brought a large group of people from the Fourth Squad to the team barracks, their usual training ground.

Kujo Tachibana personally explained to them the usage and tricks of Huidao-Zhanxian Sword Technique.

Faced with this Kaido-jutsu that does not require chanting but only requires high-precision spirit particle manipulation ability, most of the members of the Fourth Division were completely confused.

If it weren't for Captain Unohana, who had already gradually mastered the art of Kaido, I'm afraid everyone present would have thought that Kujo Tachibana was making fun of them...

Half a day later, seeing that most of the team members were still confused and clearly didn't understand at all, Kujo Tachibana could only helplessly say:

"Perhaps the difficulty of the Immortal Palm Sword Technique is indeed a bit complicated. Don't worry, you can practice more after you go back. If you have any questions in the future, you are welcome to come and discuss with me at any time."

Although not many team members have mastered the Palm Sword Technique yet, it has allowed Kujo Tachibana to gain a firm foothold in the Fourth Division.

...

Just like that, decades passed quietly, and Kujo Tachibana had long since adapted to the peaceful life in the Fourth Division.

On weekdays, in addition to treating the wounded Shinigami who came to the squad, he also asked the captain, Unohana Retsu, for advice on the art of Kaido. Occasionally, he would take the members of the squad with him to follow other squads to perform missions.

During the decades when he was out on missions, Kujo Tachibana also made many friends, including the Thirteen Court Guard Squadrons and various figures in the Seireitei.

Such as Urahara Kisuke, Shihouin Yoruichi, Kyoraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jushiro, Hirako Mako, Tosen Kaname, Suzuho Chojiro, Hikifune Kiryu... and so on.

He had traveled all over Rukongai, the human world, and Hueco Mundo, where there were dangers and accidents. However, the members of the Fourth Division were all under the care of Kujo Tachibana, and no accidents occurred, and no one was injured.

Later, many squad captains and vice-captains would even call on him to lead the medical rescue team of the Fourth Squad when they were carrying out certain dangerous missions.

At this time, Kujo Tachibana has already become the default number one person under the captain in Soul Society!

To outsiders, his spiritual pressure has reached the third level of captain level, and his kendo skills are as mysterious as an antelope hanging on a horn, not to mention the chief officer and vice-captain of the 13th Division.

Even the captain of the 5th Division, Mako Hirako, said she couldn't understand it after seeing Kujo Tachibana's battle process!

He even said bluntly: In terms of swordsmanship alone, he is far from being his opponent.

It’s just a pity that in Soul Society, no one has ever seen Kujo Tachibana display his Bankai, which is why he was ranked the number one person in Soul Society after the captain of Squad 13!

And the vice-captain of the 6th Division, Byakuya Kuchiki, would come to challenge him once a month.

He also regarded Kujo Tachibana as the whetstone of his Bankai. After suffering defeat after defeat, Kujo Tachibana had already felt it.

Byakuya's spiritual pressure is gradually approaching the captain's level, and it won't take long for his Bankai - Senbonzakura Kageyo to come out.

However, is Kujo Tachibana's progress over the past few decades really as simple as it appears to the outside world?

In fact, during his time at the Maou Spiritual Academy, Kujo Tachibana repaired the damage to his soul to 5%, reaching the spiritual pressure of a captain, and successfully mastered the initial level of Bankai.

And now, after decades of research in the Fourth Division, the trauma on his soul has been repaired to 15% in recent days, and his true spiritual pressure has reached the second level!

Even Zanpakutō's Infinite Bankai has also entered its second stage!

He just didn't have the chance to use it. His enemies at this stage really didn't have the qualifications...
