Chapter 255

Soul Society.

The main entrance of the first team building.

"Dong dong."

The reason for not breaking in with Shunpo was out of respect for Captain Yamamoto...and the awe of being burned into a roasted sweet potato.

"Please come in!"

Normally, the door to the first team is open. Although I can't see Captain Yamamoto, I can still get in without any problem.

Otherwise, the British classroom of the Vice Captain of the Sparrow Department would not be able to open.

There is only one situation when the door is closed: the captain is holding a meeting.

By the way.

If a normal Shinigami comes to visit the First Division, the Shinigami guarding the gate must inform them, but Haruto came as a member of the Shifouin clan...

Just knock on the door.

As the heavy door gradually opened.

"Your Excellency Chongya."

As expected, the person who came out to greet him was Okiga Genshiro.

"Vice Captain of Sifengyuan."

Such a formal title was not because Okiga Genshiro deliberately alienated his identity, but because he told Haruto that the occasion was more solemn.

"The deputy captain of the Bird Division is not here?"

And if this happens, the Sparrow Department will usually take charge.

"Everyone is in the chamber."

Okiga Genshiro nodded and turned sideways to make way for the interior.

"Everyone?"

"It's time for the captains to come."

There have been too many captain-level meetings recently - Haruto has just left Soul Society a few days ago, and old man Yamamoto is not a person who likes meetings.

"What big thing happened?"

"Go and take a look. You have the right to participate in this matter... Can I inform you?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Chongya."

Haruto usually doesn't like to get involved in this kind of thing, but now that he's caught up with it...Okiga Genshiro won't do it without aim. It is estimated that even if Haruto doesn't want to get involved, he will definitely be arrested by Yoruichi later. .

"Little things."

five minutes later.

Haruto walked into the first team conference hall for the second time.

As soon as I came in, I noticed something different from before:

There are not many captains here. Apart from the chief captain who is stationed here, there are only Shifouin Yoruichi from the 2nd Division, Unohana Retsu from the 4th Division, Aikawa Ratake from the 7th Division and the 8th Division. The spring water of Jingraku is there.

and the adjutants of these captains.

"Um."

Seeing Haruto walking in, Captain Yamamoto opened his squinted eyes a little, and made a little huffing sound at the corner of his mouth. Although Haruto tried his best to hide his breath, he always felt that old man Yamamoto seemed to be watching. Something happened.

"Just in time."

Haruto nodded.

Then he consciously walked behind Si Fengyuan Ye Yi.

"Chun Shui, please tell the captains present about the information collected by the Eighth Division."

"yes."

In formal situations, you are also called by your first name.

Captain Yamamoto's attitude towards Kyoraku Shunsui is obviously much closer than that of other captains - Captain Yamamoto has no heirs, and to a certain extent, Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro are just like his children.

"Next."

Jingraku Shunsui pressed down the brim of his hat and walked out from among the captains.

"Let me explain the situation to everyone."

————

"Eighteen hours ago."

"The captain of the third division who returned from Hueco Mundo: Kitahara Kenshin submitted a 'retirement' application to Captain Yamamoto."

"!?"

Quit the team?

Captain Kitahara is not a noble, and he voluntarily applied to withdraw from the team... which means that after his Zanpakuto is confiscated, he will be sent to the Maggot's Nest for special supervision——

Of course this was done in secret.

"Fourteen hours ago."

"While collecting Kitahara Kenshin's Zanpakutō, he attacked the members of the Secret Mobile Team who were escorting him. The four members of the Second Squadron were severely injured and fell into coma."

"..."

Injured the Broken Bee?

Not impossible.

In order to cooperate with the work of his police team, Xing Jun, who is directly under the Commander-in-Chief, has been extremely busy recently, and the Guards have to help arrest people; at the end of the day, the detainment captain has to personally take action... In fact, this It would be more appropriate for Yoruichi to do the job.

"Thirteen hours ago."

"Kitahara Kenshin raided the Maggot Nest, killed 61 members of the covert mobile team, and released 119 dangerous elements imprisoned within."

"!!"

Raid the Maggot Lair?

That is Urahara Kisuke's territory. Kitahara Kenshin is not outstanding among captains.

How is it done?

As if feeling Haruto's gaze, Yoruichi turned his head slightly and moved his lips a few times without making a sound.

"experiment?"

Haruto immediately understood the reason:

Kisuke Urahara has been busy with his research projects recently, so he probably doesn't work inside the Maggot Nest; maybe he doesn't know about it until now - when he is busy, the door of the laboratory is no thinner than that of the Seireitei Research Institute.

"Eleven hours ago."

"Kitahara Kenshin led some dangerous elements to attack the Qingjing Tower Julin where the forty-sixth room in the center lives."

"What!?"

This information was so shocking that Haruto couldn't control his voice, but luckily he stopped it in time.

"..."

Everyone's eyes gradually turned away from Haruto.

"When Captain Aikawa of the seventh division arrived, eleven sages and two inquisitors had been brutally killed."

"Twenty-three criminals were shot dead on the spot."

"However, more than ten criminals, including Kitahara Kenshin, took advantage of the chaos to escape and have now 'retreated' to the sewer pipes of Seireitei."

"Seven hours ago."

"Five of them were successfully captured. During the pursuit, three noble families in Seireitei were in trouble."

"above."

After Kyoraku Shunsui finished his report, he raised the brim of his hat slightly and returned to the captain's position.

"..."

vicious events.

For the aristocratic rule of the Seireitei, its severity was absolutely catastrophic.

More than a quarter of the members of the Central Room 46 were killed by the thugs who broke through the defense. They were definitely the Gotei 13... This didn't seem to have anything to do with the Gotei 13. After all, it was for the sake of To prevent the Gotei Thirteenth Corps from expanding their power, the nobles have always been responsible for the defense of the Forty-sixth Central Room.

Anyway.

It is absolutely impossible to escape if the Gotei 13 team is here. After all, when it comes to protecting these confidential personnel, it is the job of the 7th team.

at the same time.

Haruto also knew why the captains of these divisions were called:

The Second Division is the victim and responsible.

Without the criminals released from the nest of maggots, Kitahara Kenshin alone would not have been able to create such a big movement.

The fourth team is responsible for logistical rescue and map guidance:

The complex sewer system all over the Seireitei underground is usually cleaned and maintained by the fourth division. The other divisions may not be able to understand it.

The seventh team is the second person responsible, and the eighth team is responsible for gathering intelligence.

"..."

Yamamoto Shigekuni's eyes swept around.

"Do you understand everything?"

"..."

No one answered.

Everyone knows that this bad luck is not easy to deal with.

——With such a big mess, Captain Yamamoto must have suffered a lot in Central Room 46: when faced with a real death threat, even in the face of Yamamoto Shigekuni, he dared to speak with rare toughness.

"Understood."

Haruto's divine mouth at this time instantly attracted the attention of all the captains, and even Yamamoto Shigekuni opened his eyes again.

"..."

A brief lag.

"Sifengyuan Haruto, what do you propose?"

Except for the captain, there is no one else who can call him by his full name like this.

"Please ask Division 7 to continue to protect the nobles."

Haruto stood up from Yoruichi.

"The Second Division will be responsible for any troubles caused by the Second Division."

"Just leave the pursuit of Kitahara Kenshin to me... By the way, I have to ask for two people each from the Fourth Division and the Eighth Division."

"This is enough?"

Everyone present knew that Haruto was a captain, but in a fight of the same level within the Seireitei... it was definitely not possible to capture or kill Kitahara Kenshin, who was also a captain, without causing trouble. Easy things.

unless......

"Don't you need to take a rest?"

Yoruichi asked from behind Haruto.

"I heard you had just killed an achucas when you came back."

Should I be called the commander-in-chief of stealth maneuvers?

Yoruichi's speed in getting information is very fast - although Haruto does not have full instantaneous speed, it is not something that non-captains can catch up with, not to mention that Yoruichi arrived at the 1st team's building one step before Haruto... ..It’s hard to say whether the intelligence comes from human resources.

"fine."
