Jihad calendar year 997, September 17th.
As the captain of the Supervisory Force, Yoshihoin Ichiryu was summoned by Room 46. Although Ichiryu is still the captain of Division 9, he was indeed the "Captain of the Supervisory Force", which shows that it must be something in this regard. .
"Huh? Captain? Why are you here?" Yilong saw old man Yamamoto outside the underground meeting hall and immediately showed surprise.
Next to him was Sentaro Kotsubaki, the third seat of the 13th Division and the head broom, but he was only a third seat, so it was normal for Ichiryu to ignore him.
However, when Sentaro Kotsubaki saw that it was Shifengyuan Ichiryu, he immediately showed a solemn look - he had vaguely guessed why he was rushed and why this guy from Shifengyuan was here!
Not long ago, he was urgently announced by the herald of Room 46, and he didn't even have time to tell Captain Ukitake - Ukitake was still bedridden for ten days and eight days recently, and Xiao Chun didn't want to disturb him easily. After all, Ukitake was alone. A few months ago, when he was stabbed, he and Kyōraku teamed up to activate [Homecoming], and he was bedridden for a long time afterwards.
However... what made Xiaochun feel a little uneasy was that he didn't even have time to inform Kotetsu Kiyone before leaving!
A few days ago, Xiaochun accidentally discovered that the deputy captain of the Sparrow Division directly opened the [Boundary Crossing Gate] without following the regulations and without approval, and the destination was the very sensitive Hueco Mundo, and... he was supervising the troops, and was secretly I learned this while investigating the matter!
Xiaochun has great trust in the deputy captain of the first team, and believes that he must have received the order from the captain...
So... Xiao Chun made up an application file in private - after all, his captain Ukitake Jushiro was a student of Yamamoto. Ichiryu took the opportunity to cause trouble and attacked Ukitake not just once or twice, but of course he had to guard against it. One hand!
When he was summoned by Room 46 today, he already had a guess in his mind. After arriving here, Xiaochun saw Captain Yamamoto and became more sure of the matter. However, before he could see Captain Yamamoto, Shifengyuan Ichiryu came. Already here...
When he saw Yilong of Sifengyuan, he thought it was Yilong who reported it.
"Yeah, why? I guess it has something to do with the main division, the purification division, and the inspection team, right?" The old man Yamamoto's squinted eyes were not open at all at this time, and he just made a His tone was "I'm wondering too", as if he had no doubt that it was Sifengyuan Yilong who had sued him!
Soon someone who communicated came out, looked at Yilong and old man Yamamoto and said, "Master Shifengyuan, Captain Yamamoto, please come in."
Well, as a typical aristocratic attendant, of course the first person he saw was the governor of the Shifengin family, and then the captain of the Gotei 13...
As for Sentaro Kotsubaki and so on...who is that?
"Captain, please." Yilong said humbly, refusing to go ahead.
Yamamoto was not polite at this time, and...since it was "three people please", it can be seen that it was indeed related to all three of them!
Yilong and Yamamoto "and others" walked into the meeting hall at this time.
I saw that the meeting hall at this time was still the same. It was facing six judges sitting high up, surrounded by forty sages who had serial number boards in front of them and covered their faces.
"Captain Shifengyuan, you should have some guesses as to why I came to you this time, right?" As soon as Tsunayashiro Murayu came up, he attacked Ichiryu first.
but……
Anyone with real experience understands that if it is really just against Ichiryu, there is no need to let Yamamoto and a third seat from the 13th Division come together at this time.
Since three people were called together, but only one was focused on when criticizing initially, then... the actual target must not be him, but one of the other two.
"Please make it clear to Judge Tsunayashiro." Ichiryu replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner - he had little contact with the Tsunayashiro family, but since Murao was working with him, Ichiryu naturally understood what the routine was.
"After the captain of the Gotei 13 Corps rebelled, I entrusted you with the review, but what have you done in this month?" Tsunayashiro Murao criticized in a step-by-step manner.
"Judges, it is clear that among the Third Division, Fifth Division, and Ninth Division, as well as some helpers who are not within the Gotei 13th Division, many related persons have indeed been identified, but most of them are just being used.
"Now that Aizen is dormant in Hueco Mundo, eyeing the Soul Society, it is not appropriate for the Seireitei to be in chaos at this time, so I have to distinguish, measure and punish these people..." Yilong said calmly at this time. .
In fact, it is indeed the case!
Who among the Gotei 13 doesn't know this now?
After Aizen Sosuke and the others defected from Hueco Mundo, the captain even suspected that one of the Shinigami in Team 13 was pretending to be a fake one. The captain and vice-captain needed to verify their identity before taking office!
There are even rumors that in the future, all the gods of death will have to be identified and found to be fake, and they will be executed immediately...
Fortunately, the captain of Sifengyuan understood the righteousness well and did not act accordingly. He even offended the captain for this.
Although the reputation of Shifengin Ichiryu had not been good before, Captain Yamamoto had a strong reputation among the Gotei 13, but... after this big change, the thoughts of many team members have also changed.
Captain Aizen, who used to be very famous in the past, also defected to Hueco Mundo?
It seems that there are some things that cannot be taken at face value. Now looking at the words and deeds of Captain Sifengyuan, those words that slandered him and his actions that were questioned before, I am afraid... not necessarily who did it, and the blame was put on Captain Sifengyuan!
Of course, Sentaro Kotsubaki, who has actually had many contacts with Shifouin Ichiryu, does not think so at all...
Previously in front of Room 46, Yamamoto Shigekuni had made it clear that the inspection of Shifengin Ichiryu was a routine inspection, and even tacitly acknowledged that the supervisory force could do the same in the future...
Of course I can't change my mind now.
The supervisory force did not do this, and did not continue the authoritarian persecution. Instead, they took the opportunity to win over people's hearts and insisted that it was the commander-in-chief's order and that the supervisory force was "disobeying orders."
It was this act of converting the opportunity to expand authority into "prestige" that made Kyōraku Shunsui understand that although Shifengin Ichiryu had an unclear purpose and was very difficult to deal with, he was essentially a person who would not lift the table, and Aizen who shouted "The Throne of Heaven is empty" is different, and he is also different from Tsunayashiro Tokinada who has a clear tendency to self-destruct.
At this time, in front of six judges and forty sages, Si Fengyuan Yilong also made an impassioned speech again.
"Yes, Captain Shifengyuan's approach is mature and prudent, but Captain Yamamoto was too radical before." Yura Awanmena said, looking at the captain - you are a bit too extreme.
It can be regarded as a complete confirmation of those rumors.
Yamamoto's expression did not change at this time - of course he was not radical or extreme, he was just targeting Shifengin Ichiryu with a certain degree of confidence!
However, since he was "counter-killed" by Yilong, this cannot be said openly.
Yamamoto thought he was sure, but failed to make a real move. Naturally, he had to face the counterattack of Shifengyuan Ichiryu.
Originally, Yamamoto thought that he would make a big fuss in Team 13, but now he is so restrained, which surprised Yamamoto...
Until this moment, unlike Kyōraku, old man Yamamoto had not realized that Shifouin Ichiryu's "retreat in order to advance" restraint this time was actually more "dangerous" and "more ambitious."
"Mature and prudent? Captain Sifengyuan, you may have your own ideas about how to deal with the past of Aizen and other defected captains, so I won't say more, but... now there is a deputy captain-level Shinigami secretly communicating with Hueco Mundo. "You didn't find anything, so you've neglected your duty, right?" Tsunayashiro Murao asked with clear eyes.
"This..." Yilong looked at Yamamoto with a hesitant expression.
It seemed that he did not report the matter because of Yamamoto's face.
Yamamoto looked at Shifengyuan and Tsunayashiro, and he was already prepared. At this time, he said calmly: "Yes, it is indeed me..."
When Sentaro Kotsubaki heard that this was indeed the case, he immediately rushed to say: "Judges and sages, this is absolutely not the case! The captain sent the deputy captain of the Sparrow Department to Hueco Mundo for a secret operation. It was approved and it was definitely not a private operation. It’s just a covert operation!”
Yamamoto was slightly surprised when he heard this. He opened one of his eyes that he had not opened until now and glanced at Xiao Chun.
Tsunayashiro Murao was also surprised. He originally thought that catching Yamamoto's sore leg this time would make him gain some benefits, but...
