In Soul Society, I just want to retire

It all seems like it happened yesterday.

"You have to think carefully. If you leave now, you won't get a pension. After all, the team stipulates that only Shinigami who have worked for more than a thousand years can get a pension after retirement." Yamabuki Ditang said.

The wry smile on Shijima Chigiri's face grew even wider. "A thousand years! How many Shinigami can live for a thousand years? Ordinary spirits age, just like the common people in Rukongai. Their lifespans are indeed much longer than humans, but two or three hundred years is the limit. Do you still remember Chojiro Suzu's sister? That little girl named Hanako? Look at her now, she's already a graceful beauty, and it's only been seventy years. What about another seventy years?"

Yamabuki Ditang fell silent.

The God of Death is not immortal, but the stronger his spiritual pressure is, the slower he ages.

For someone like the captain, if nothing unexpected happens, he would have no problem living for four or five thousand years.

And ordinary captains also have a lifespan of a thousand years.

But for ordinary people, like Hanako, living for two or three hundred years is already the limit.

"Can't you see? This is a rule the captain set specifically for you. He's reluctant to see you go, but at the same time he's embarrassed to reject your opinion, so he has no choice but to use this method. Anyway, no one knows what the world will be like in a thousand years after so many changes. It's just me... maybe I'm not suited to officialdom. Although I've lived a comfortable life for the past few decades, I don't like it. I've decided to open an ordinary acupuncture clinic in Rukongai. If you have time, remember to come and support me. My acupuncture skills are great." Shijima Chigiri said with a smile.

How could Yamabuki Ditang not know what the deputy captain meant?

The Gotei 13 in the original world line never retired and could only stay at their posts until they died in battle.

Or like the successive generations of Kenpachi, the next generation of Kenpachi defeats the previous one.

Yamabuki Ditang sighed. Shidao Chiwu was determined to leave and there was no way to keep him. At this point, he could only obey his opinion.

"I know it may be unfair to you to say this, but I hope that if Soul Society is in danger again, you will be able to stand up." Yamabuki Ditang said.

Shijima Chigiri poured herself a glass of wine and smiled happily, "Don't worry about that. After all, I'm one of the founders of the Gotei 13, so I do have a sense of responsibility. By the way, after I leave, have you decided who will be the new captain?"

"It's decided. It's Unohana."

"puff!"

Chapter 38: The Transformation of the Fourth Division

The captain is the soul of a team.

He is also the idol of his teammates.

In the future, Kenpachi Zaraki doesn't like to use Kidō when fighting, so the members of the 11th Division are ashamed of using Kidō.

Ayasegawa Yumichika's Zanpakutō is of the Kidō attribute. Because he was afraid of being laughed at by his teammates, he only released half of his Zanpakutō.

Otherwise, Ayasegawa Yumichika would at least have the strength of a vice-captain, no, he could even surpass most vice-captains.

But he was only the fifth officer in the 11th Division.

As the top Sixth Squad member and the most elite assassin, Shijima Chigiri's fighting style often focuses on sneak attacks and he doesn't like to fight head-on with others. This has led to everyone in the Fourth Division advocating this sneak attack fighting style, and he has brought out a bunch of Sixth Squad members.

But now these guys were told that their captain had resigned, so they were forced to change their jobs to berserkers, and they were all trembling with fear.

"Unohana... is the captain of the 4th Division... Her ability is sufficient, but what about the 11th Division? It's impossible for one person to be the captain of two divisions at the same time?" asked Shijima Chigiri.

Yamabuki Ditang's face darkened when he heard this, and he pointed at himself and said, "From now on, I will be the captain of the 11th Division and the second generation Kenpachi. Please give me your guidance."

"Ah? What is the second generation Kenpachi?" Shijima Chigiri didn't understand this setting at all, so Yamabuki Detang explained it to him.

The 11th Division is recognized as the most powerful team, and the Shinigami who leads this team will be called "Kempachi", just like the title you get in a game.

After hearing this, Shijima Chigiri burst out laughing. How come there was another title out of nowhere?

But forget it, you are the captain of the 11th Division anyway, you can play however you like.

The next morning, Chigiri Shijima packed her luggage and left with all the captains watching.

"I opened an acupuncture clinic in the East District. When you have nothing to do, please come and support me. I will give you discounts! It's a huge sale of 9.9% off, and you will definitely go back feeling comfortable." Zhijima Chiwu waved goodbye to these colleagues who had worked together for decades.

Everyone also gave him a lot of gifts.

Yamabuki Detang knew that Shijima Chigiri's departure was just the beginning, and more captains would gradually leave in the future.

These people are lawless lunatics. You can't expect to completely control them. You can only do what they want.

Even the most magnificent work would become boring after hundreds of years. If Yamabuki Ditang had not always wanted to awaken his own system, he might have resigned and gone home. In fact, this system is now dispensable, but it has become an obsession in his heart!

He wanted to see what kind of rewards were in the official version of this crappy system, which would take him a thousand years.

Immediately, the captain-in-chief issued the latest order, with Unohana, the captain of the 11th Division, serving as the captain of the 4th Division, and Yamabuki Detang, the former vice-captain of the 11th Division, serving as the captain of the 11th Division.

For the 11th Division, this is not a big deal. After all, in their eyes, there is no difference between the captain and the vice-captain, as they are from the same family.

The members of the Fourth Division were restless because they had also heard of the name of the Sword of Death. He had spent seventy years building the Eleventh Division into the strongest team. If such a ruthless person came to be the captain of the Fourth Division, he would torture us to death.

But soon, the captain issued another unexpected order, which was that from today on, the Fourth Division would completely transform from the original assassination-oriented combat team to an auxiliary team fully responsible for logistics and medical care.

Everyone in the Fourth Division was a little surprised. This order was too sudden, but most people had no objection to it. Shijima Chigiri was an expert in assassination. He was able to prepare antidotes for various poisons and was also proficient in acupuncture.

These things can not only kill people but also save people. Many members of the Fourth Squad have strong medical skills, so it is understandable that they are transformed into an auxiliary medical team.

Unohana came up to the team members with a kind smile on her face and said, "Everyone, please take good care of me from now on!"

After saying that, he bowed slightly to the team members.

The team members hurriedly returned the greetings. It seemed that the new captain was a pretty good person.

From today on, the members of the Fourth Division no longer have to kill enemies on the battlefield. Instead, they will be fully transferred to become doctors and responsible for treatment.

Of course, you also need to systematically learn various medical knowledge.

Unohana, Yamabuki Detang, and Kirinji Tenshiro became mentors of these team members and began to teach them medical knowledge day and night.

In just half a year, the Fourth Division was barely formed as a medical division.

The murderous aura in Unohana became weaker and weaker, and over time, people seemed to have forgotten her nickname "Sword of Death". Even many new team members thought that this amiable captain had always been a full-time doctor, and she was loved by the majority of newcomers!

Over time, a rumor spread from nowhere that the captain of the Fourth Division was very kind and gentle, and had a good attitude towards his teammates, so many students from the Maou Spiritual Academy chose to join the Fourth Division after graduation.

It's not for promotion or wealth, it's just for Unohana.

Who doesn’t want a leader who is beautiful, gentle, generous, mild-tempered, and can heal illnesses and injuries!

In the following years, the Fourth Division even became overcrowded.

Unohana accepted all the members who came to join her. The Fourth Division was the only team that allowed people to join without any conditions, and she also gave herself a name, "Retsu".

The flower of Mao is strong.

Yamabuki Ditang didn't know what mood she was in when she gave herself this name. Anyway, life passed like this day by day, and thirty to fifty years passed.

……

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Someone needs surgery urgently! Get out of the way!"

One afternoon decades later.

A howl broke the tranquility of the Fourth Division, and a Shinigami wearing the uniform of the Seventh Division came to the Fourth Division carrying his comrades on his back.

The members of the Fourth Division immediately took action and prepared for surgery. Judging from the wound on the dying Grim Reaper, it was probably caused by a battle with a Hollow.

After so many years, the Quincy has completely disappeared from the sight of the God of Death, but the Hollows are still the eternal enemies of the God of Death.

The war between the two sides never stopped for a moment.

And each has damage.

The seriously injured Grim Reaper had his entire shoulder bitten off, half of his body was stained red with blood, and he was barely breathing!

Things like the Void cannot be killed unless all the souls in this world are destroyed.

It just so happened that Yamabuki Ditang was slacking off and being affectionate with his wife at that time, and this happened to him.

Chapter 39: The Age of Death is Progressing, the Age of Death is Developing

"What's that noise outside? It's so noisy!" Yamabuki Ditang came outside and saw a Grim Reaper covered in blood being pushed into the operating room.

"Chief... Chief of Staff! Why are you here?" the member of the Seventh Division asked in surprise.

Yamabuki Ditang frowned slightly and hurried into the operating room to check the injuries of the Grim Reaper.

His entire shoulder, including the skin and bones, was bitten off, and it was a miracle that he was still alive and could reach the Fourth Division!

"Help me prepare the surgical equipment immediately, I will save him myself!" Yamabuki Ditang said lightly.

Although Yamabuki Toto is now the captain of the 11th Division, he was the one who taught medical skills to the entire 4th Division, so the members of the 4th Division trust him very much.

This was all thanks to him being here. He immediately used the advanced Huidao technique to stop the bleeding and heal the wound, then sutured the blood vessels and used the spirit particles to create bones and flesh to fill the wound.

It was already midnight when the operation was over.

Yamabuki Ditang wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out of the operating room. "Don't worry! His life was saved, but he will need to rest for a long time before returning to the battlefield. What happened to you? Why are you so embarrassed?"

One team member breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his comrade was fine, and then told his own experience.

The four of them besieged a giant void. Everything was originally going in a good direction, but the giant void was defeated step by step under the siege of several death gods, and even its head was chopped off in the end.

However, just when they let down their guard, the giant head launched a sneak attack, biting off the shoulder of a Grim Reaper, and relying on its super-fast regeneration ability, it ran all the way holding the head, and finally escaped from the pursuit of these Grim Reapers.

"And...and the Hollows' vitality is too strong! They can still be resurrected even if their heads are chopped off, and their claws and teeth are much more dangerous than the knives in our hands." The Death Team member complained cautiously.

Although the Zanpakutō can take on various postures after being released, it has to be admitted that the danger level for ordinary Shinigami facing Hollows is too high.

Even with the protection of the Death Armor, the tolerance rate of the God of Death against the Hollow is too low, and he may lose his life if he is not careful.

A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Yamabuki Ditang's mind.

Yeah! Why does the Shinigami have to fight hand-to-hand with the Hollow?

Even though the Shinigami have Kidō to fill the gap in long-range attacks, the damage caused by Kidō is proportional to the Shinigami's own spiritual pressure. In addition, many Shinigami cannot use Kidō at all, which makes the Shinigami appear to be at a greater disadvantage.

Yamabuki Detang often hears the saying "Truth is only within the range of cannons". Can he find a way to develop some long-range weapons?

Why do you have to be so stupid as to fight with Xu in close combat?

Calculating the time, China had already invented the world's first thermal weapon at this time.

Of course, the thermal weapons at that time were very backward and could not change the situation on the battlefield.

Bamboo tubes and gunpowder were used to eject the iron balls, but due to technical reasons, it was very easy for the barrel to explode.

Looking at the history of Soul Society from ancient times to the present, there seems to be no record of this.

It cannot be said that there is no such thing. When Kenpachi Zaraki was in power, he once proposed a proposal to the Central Forty-Sixth Room, which was to transform the souls of ordinary residents of Rukongai so that they could gain powerful combat power to fight against the Hollows.

Central Office 46 might be bored out of their minds, so since they really agreed to his request, they let him make the modifications as he pleased.

But what no one expected was that Kenpachi Zaraki actually succeeded. The Central Forty-Sixth Room immediately felt a huge threat and directly stopped Kenpachi Zaraki's experiment.

A lot of accusations were even put on him. Kenpachi Zaraki was directly turned from a captain into a prisoner, and even alarmed the Zero Squad. In desperation, Kenpachi Zaraki could only choose to surrender himself, otherwise it would be almost impossible to catch him with the ability of the Gotei 13 at that time.

The weapons in the hands of these modified civilians are a kind of weapon similar to a musket. It even appeared in the world a thousand years later. A group of modified artificial corpses armed with guns injured a group of Arrancars.

If I can develop this technology, can I reduce the casualties of the Gotei 13?

After all, the tolerance rate of long-range attacks is always higher than that of melee attacks.

Thinking of this, Yamabuki Ditang gave some instructions for the medical follow-up and went directly to the 12th Division to find Zenjoji Arihime.

"Oh my! You actually came to see me, what a rare guest!"

During the past hundred years, Arinohira of Zenjoji lived a very carefree life, and her already fat belly grew even bigger.

"No one comes to see me for no reason. You must have something to ask of me. Stop beating around the bush. Tell me, what's the matter?" A concubine from Shanding Temple said calmly.

Yamabuki Ditang laughed dryly. "What bad intentions could I have? Of course I'm here to learn from you. Science and technology are the primary productive forces. I just want to understand how advanced our technology is right now. Just take a look, just take a look!"

While drinking tea, Youpin of Shanding Temple said calmly: "Then take your time to look at it. Call me if you need anything. I'm still doing experiments here."

Yamabuki Detang smiled slightly, then turned around in the 12th Division. At that time, the Technology Development Bureau had not yet been established, and the 12th Division was mainly focused on combat, but the captain liked to do scientific research, and his team members also followed suit.

"Creating a musket that can destroy hollows! Sounds unreliable!" Yamabuki Ditang muttered softly.

This thing sounds simple, but in fact it is completely different from the firearms in the world today.

Hundreds of years later, modern muskets used gunpowder as propulsion to fire bullets and kill the enemy.

But now... Soul Society has no concept of gunpowder, and even if it did, it couldn't use gunpowder to propel spirit particles.

And what about the ammunition selection?

Is it adding spiritual pressure to the live ammunition, or is it directly condensing spiritual pressure into the bullet? All of this is unknown!

Yamabuki Ditang knew nothing about this, and in the end he had no choice but to pick up a book and study on his own.

Yamabuki Ditang never thought that what he hated most in his previous life was studying, and the depressing atmosphere in school made him feel suffocated.
