On August 8, 997 in the Jihad Calendar, the Fourth Division team building is where the Comprehensive Service Department is located.
Early in the morning, Ichigo woke up...
"This is...ah! Rukia!" Ichigo remembered that he was in the Seireitei, but he looked around in confusion.
"Kurosaki-san! Are you awake?" Inoue quickly called everyone over.
"You...where is this place?" Ichigo wondered.
"This is the General Service Department. Please feel free to stay here and rest until you fully recover." Uzuki Retsu opened the door at the right moment and walked in.
"Eh? You should be..." Ichigo vaguely remembered seeing this person in "Soujigaoka".
"I am the captain of the fourth team, Unohana Retsu. Thank you for everything you have done in Seireitei. There may have been some misunderstandings between us before, but it has passed now." Unohana Retsu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ichigo was puzzled - do you still have to thank us?
As the captain of the fourth division, Unohana Retsu knows it best.
Although the traveling disaster caused the Seireitei into chaos, in fact... not a single team member died!
It can be seen that the other party must have deliberately held back, especially now that it has been proven that everything was Aizen's conspiracy. In other words... the act of stopping Rukia's execution was actually the right thing to do.
"Misunderstanding? Ah! Where is Rukia?" Ichigo asked quickly.
"Don't worry, Lucia's body was not injured at all. It's just... because it was taken out and the influence of the previous murderous stone, the spiritual pressure was restored in rest." Unohana Retsu explained calmly.
"That? What happened... We are not enemies anymore, right?" Ichigo was also confused at this time.
At the same time, Ichigo had a vague feeling that the captain of the fourth team in front of him seemed to be smiling, but he seemed to have been observing him.
Just when Unohana was about to say something, Yamada Hanatarō hurried over and said, "Captain, the captain has something to ask you."
"Well, I'll take my leave first. If you have anything, you can tell us at any time." Unohana nodded and said to Ichigo.
"Ah...you took so much trouble!" Ichigo quickly thanked him.
Although I don't know what's going on, but...the captain looks very polite, he must be a person with a good temper, right?
After Unohana left, Ichigo couldn't wait to ask what happened after he fainted...
"Calm down after listening, actually..." Uryū reminded Ichigo before he started telling.
…
"What? Manager Urahara..." Ichigo did feel a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
After all, according to this theory, from the very beginning, Urahara was hiding something that a certain "big bad guy" was looking for, which was why Rukia suffered so much.
Of course, Urahara undoubtedly helped Ichigo in the end, and...it seemed that Urahara also had his own difficulties.
"By the way, where is Yoruichi? She was also the captain of the Gotei 13 before, right?" Ichigo thought in his mind that Yoruichi and Urahara might be returning to the Seireitei.
"Well, but Miss Yoichi has returned to the present world... It is said that the Seireitei only canceled the wanted order against them, but did not pardon their crimes." Uryū explained.
After Uryū paused, he sarcastically said: "This is the nobleman of Death... How can he admit that he was wrong in the first place? Of course, Miss Yoruichi and the Urahara store manager must be blamed for not surrendering and arresting him honestly. Let’s go through the procedures to redress the grievance.”
Ichigo also has little empathy for the Shinigami nobles, so Uryū's sarcasm cannot hurt him.
Inoue nodded at the side and said: "Yes, the vice-captain of Sifengyuan who saved us twice before was also taken away at that time. It seemed that he was going to interrogate something. I don't know what happened to him."
Yulong said at this time: "Well... I think that guy is really suspicious, and the reason why he saved us is unknown!"
"Hmm? Shifengyuan? Isn't that Yoichi's kin... must be Yoichi's friend!" Ichigo gave a perfect explanation.
"That's it!" Inoue accepted instantly.
And Yulong still felt something was strange...
At the same time, Shifengyuan Yilong was indeed in front of the 46th room of Mao, excusing Captain Yamamoto.
Before, when Aizen and the other three had just left, Yamamoto asked Yilong about what Aizen said to him.
However, Yilong didn't care at all about the "nonsense talk of the rebellious ministers and traitors". He naturally excused himself by saying that it was "just a frame-up", "I have drawn a clear line with him a long time ago", "Now among the ten captains, I am the one who has sued Lan Ran." Most times."
Although Yamamoto still had doubts in his heart, and even wanted to ask Ichiryu to hand over his Zanpakutō before investigating in detail, but...
At this time, people from the Sifengyuan family appeared, proving Yilong's identity as the "family governor" - and his "family governor" has a completely different meaning than before. In terms of power, he is more like the "family leader" of the Kasumioji family, just because Yilong was also from the Sifengyuan clan, so he was named the "Family Governor" - the governor of all affairs in the clan!
And thanks to Yilong's usual diligent preparation, although Forty-Six was completely wiped out, the construction of the new term was basically completed overnight, and most of the seats were not controversial.
The new forty-sixth room has more trust in Si Fengyuan Yilong...
It is of course impossible to arrest Shifengin Ichiryu because of Aizen's words before leaving - after all, they were just "anti-thief" words!
Instead, Ukitake Jushiro was interrogated in detail about his conversation with Aizen to analyze whether there was a possibility of secret communication.
Yamamoto couldn't use such a reason to arrest Yilong, but just argued with him in front of Room 46...
Although Captain Yamamoto doubted himself, Ichiryu was selfless and spoke for Captain Yamamoto when he was criticized!
"No, no, no, everyone has misunderstood. Please be aware that the three thieves of Aizen were actually wrapped in the [anti-membrane] at that time. It is impossible to break it from the outside!
"At that time, I was thinking of the tragic sages and judges, as well as the Seireitei, so I was furious and made a misjudgment. In fact, I was doing useless work. Captain Yamamoto was just watching and conserving his strength. The approach is the calmest and most correct judgment!" Yilong said the truth.
At this time, in the underground meeting hall, the new forty-sixth room was sitting around, with Shifengin Ichiryu, Yamamoto Shigekuni, and Ukitake Jushiro standing in the middle.
The position facing the three people is the largest and highest row of seats, with six people sitting on it - the new six judges!
Except for a passage behind the three people and leading in from the gate, there were forty sages sitting high around them, making the three people seem to be in a basin where everyone was looking around. From the position alone, it was easy to put pressure on the person being interrogated.
However, neither Yamamoto, Ichiryu, nor Ukitake obviously ignored this pressure.
Although Yilong defended sincerely at this moment, the sages and judges in Room 46 did not seem to buy it...
