"Yamabuki said that the Gotei 13 captured her, so how to execute her should naturally be decided by the Gotei 13," the Great Sage said softly.
"Yamamoto Genryūsai is a man who understands the bigger picture. He certainly won't bend the law for personal gain, and this woman is not from the Gotei 13. She's definitely going to die this time. If that woman can be executed, it will also demonstrate the prestige of our Central 46," the Great Sage said, stroking his beard with a smug expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, a subordinate from outside the door came to report.
"Great Sage, the final judgment for Yachiru Unohana has been released. Yachiru Unohana has chosen to join the Gotei 13 and has now become the Eleventh Division Captain of the Gotei 13."
"Pfft!" The Great Sage spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Originally, one Yamamoto Genryūsai was already suffocating them. Later, they found that Yamabuki was also quite difficult to deal with. Now, there's another complete lunatic. Are they not going to let us live?
"Letting such a person join the Gotei 13? What was Yamamoto Genryūsai thinking? The purpose of the Gotei 13 is to protect Seireitei. How could such a lunatic possibly protect Seireitei?" The Great Sage felt his worldview being reshaped.
Yamabuki being pardoned for public murder was already outrageous!
Yachiru Unohana, however, directly slaughtered half of the Central 46. The crimes she committed were unprecedented. How could such a person even bear the name of "Gotei"?
"Is it… power? That Unohana possesses power far beyond ordinary people, so she was chosen! How can Yamamoto Genryūsai be so unprincipled?" The Great Sage felt a chill run through him. He pulled the blanket next to him over his body, wrapping himself tightly. His noble status and position as a Great Sage could no longer bring him the slightest sense of security. What should he do next? What could he do next?
Everyone looked at the Great Sage with hopeful eyes.
Why are you looking at me? If I had a solution, would I be trembling here?
"Tell everyone under my command not to cause trouble during this time. Do your job well. Seek no merit, but avoid fault. We should think positively. Unohana joining the Gotei 13 is also a good thing. This way, she will be restrained and won't be able to just cut down whoever she wants like before. If we don't provoke her, she wouldn't just cut us down for no reason, right?" The Great Sage felt pitiful, weak, and helpless.
I don't aspire for a high position. As long as you don't come to cut me down, I'll be very happy.
"Great Sage is wise."
"Then why are you all standing around foolishly? Hurry up and get to work?" The Great Sage sighed, and everyone returned to their posts, working frantically.
This life is truly not for humans. I should find an opportunity to give up this position as Great Sage. Isn't it better to go home and retire?
…
Yamabuki and Unohana had already returned home.
The two were discussing what to eat for dinner. Yamabuki said he wanted something light, while Unohana said she wanted something with a strong flavor. The two couldn't agree.
Finally, Yamabuki had a flash of inspiration and decided to have hot pot for dinner, specifically a Tai Chi mandarin duck pot, with one side spicy and the other clear broth, satisfying both preferences.
Since they were having hot pot, they naturally needed to prepare a large amount of ingredients.
Pork, fish balls, vegetables. Unohana even rode Minazuki to Rukongai to gather a lot of mushrooms.
It was Yamabuki's first time riding Minazuki. Mental slacking off was no longer possible. As the Gotei 13 continued to grow, Yamabuki's workload would only increase. Now, he could only slack off physically. Yamabuki lay on Minazuki, constantly stroking the monstrous fish with his hand, which made Unohana look at Yamabuki with strange eyes, thinking that this child had some kind of psychological barrier.
"Look, over there!" Unohana pointed to a very clear stream.
Yamabuki looked and saw many corpses piled up like a small mountain beside the stream.
"You did it?"
"Hmm."
"You can't dispose of bodies so casually. What if a plague breaks out?" Yamabuki aimed at the corpse mountain from high above and released a Hado, incinerating all the bodies, letting them return to nature's embrace.
"Those corpses aren't important. What's important is that I found a very strange person there. His strength is not weak; not many people can withstand a few moves from me, and I feel that wasn't even his full strength," Unohana said.
Hearing Unohana say this, Yamabuki immediately became interested. The Gotei 13 was currently short-staffed, so since there was someone so strong, they should try to trick him in. Ahem, no, they should sincerely recruit him.
"Did he say his name?" Yamabuki asked.
Unohana nodded: "He said his name was Shijima Chigiri!"
Yamabuki's heart trembled. He was very familiar with that name. The First Division Captain of the original Gotei 13. He hadn't expected such an unexpected gain at the end of this matter. Since Shijima Chigiri had appeared here, it meant he most likely lived nearby. If there was an opportunity, he would pay him a visit. If he dared not come, he would bring Unohana along, and the two of them would "persuade" him together.
After picking some wild mushrooms, the two returned home to prepare dinner.
They found someone waiting at their door. It was Chōjirō Sasakibe.
"Chōjirō? Why are you here?" Yamabuki asked.
Chōjirō Sasakibe looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say.
"Is there a problem with your work? Come in and talk slowly. It's almost dinner time. You can't get good stuff like this in the cafeteria," Yamabuki said with a laugh.
Soon, the hot pot was boiling.
Chōjirō Sasakibe said somewhat dejectedly: "It's not that there's a problem with my work. I just feel like I'm not doing well enough. The Captain Commander didn't scold me, but he kept shaking his head and sighing at me… I feel even more pressured! I really am not enough to be a Vice Captain right now, especially the Vice Captain of the First Division!"
"Is that all? Come, have some meat. His shaking his head and sighing probably isn't because he's dissatisfied with you, but because he's cursing me in his heart," Yamabuki picked up a piece of pork belly and put it in his mouth: "When I was in the First Division, he didn't have to worry about anything. I solved everything he could think of. Now that I've been transferred to the Eleventh Division, and you're new, he has to deal with all those old tasks himself. Of course, he's not happy. However, handling internal affairs can be done by anyone. Being able to fight is what's important. If your strength can reach the Captain-level, the Old Man will definitely be very satisfied with you."
"Captain-… Captain-level?" Chōjirō Sasakibe was dumbfounded. Thinking of those monstrous Captains… How could that be?
"Nothing is impossible. From now on, every day after dinner, you come to me, and I'll give you special training. If I say I can get you to Captain-level in a short time, that's me bragging, but reaching a standard Vice Captain-level is no problem," Yamabuki said, patting his chest.
