at the same time.
Senju Makoto, who returned to the first team, went straight to the top floor of the ancient building "Tenshukaku" in the center.
This is also the most special place where the architecture of the first team is different from the other teams.
The location of the castle tower has been a symbol of governing power since ancient times. This is also the area where the captain of the Gotei Thirteenth Division usually resides.
"Dong dong~"
Following the sound of soft footsteps, Senju Makoto, who climbed to the top floor of this place, looked around, and then looked at Unohana Retsu who was standing on the balcony with his back to him.
A team of feathers fluttered from time to time in the night wind.
Different from the habit of wearing braids on his chest, after Senju Makoto erased the scar left on Unohana Retsu's chest thousands of years ago and officially assumed the position of captain, Unohana Retsu let it go Her long black hair, like a waterfall, spreads behind her.
There was only a strand of green grass glowing with vitality, just like a hair tie, simply tied at the end of the black hair.
As if sensing Senju Makoto's movement, Unohana Retsu's gentle and elegant voice sounded.
"came back?"
In other words, except for Unohana Retsu and Senju Makoto, the other Shinigami on the entire top floor are not qualified to board here.
because……
Senju Makoto did not kneel respectfully behind the captain like the previous adjutant of the captain, Takububujiro, and respectfully respond to the captain's inquiries.
On the contrary, Senju Makoto walked up behind Unohana Retsu with a smile on his face, and with his open arms, he directly hugged Captain Unohana Retsu from behind.
Maozhihualie didn't show any resistance or discomfort at all. Feeling the warmth and majestic embrace coming from behind, she leaned slightly behind him in compliance.
Senshou Makoto sniffed the scent of Unohana Retsu at close range, which was somewhat similar to Unohana, and replied. "Having come back, Nanao probably won't stand against us."
For a moment, Unohana Retsu, who was originally standing on the top floor of the castle tower that represented the supreme status of the Gotei 13th Division, no longer looked like the majestic figure just now, but completely collapsed on the ground. In Shou Cheng's arms, his tone became more and more gentle.
"It's enough for you to make your own judgment on this, Cheng."
"You are the captain, and this is a routine report to you." Senju Makoto replied with a smile.
When Uozhihua Lie heard this, her beautiful eyes turned, but she couldn't help but give Senju Cheng a blank look.
It is true that he is the captain, but the one who really controls the entire Gotei 13th Division now is undoubtedly Senju Makoto.
Perhaps, it is not appropriate to call Retsu Unohana a puppet, but Retsu Unohana knows better that in essence, he can only be regarded as the spokesperson promoted by Senju Makoto.
Whether it is Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni, who has retired to Mao Spiritual Arts Academy, or himself, the newly appointed captain, after all, it is just one of Senju Makoto's ways to confuse Team Zero.
What he did was to make the superior Zero Squadron make a wrong judgment:
[Nothing unexpected happened to the Gotei 13th Division and Seireitei, including changes in power, etc., are still within their control. 】
And Senju Makoto held the teacher Uozuka whom he had fallen in love with a hundred years ago in his arms, looked down at the unobstructed view of the Jing Ling Ting, and felt a little emotional inexplicably.
Unohana Retsu, who was in close contact with Senju Makoto, was sensitive to Senju Makoto's emotional changes and asked.
"What's wrong? Cheng."
"No, I just can't help feeling that a hundred years have passed by so quickly..."
Senju Makoto's voice was a little more distant and reminiscing, and he spoke.
"More than a hundred years ago, when I first stepped into the Seireitei, I was led by Yamada Seinosuke to the Fourth Division. I was so unfamiliar with everything and hesitant, and I could only kneel in front of Teacher Unohana."
When he said this, Senju Makoto pointed in the direction of the Fourth Division team building, and a lot of memories came to mind.
Hearing this, Unohana Retsu couldn't help but feel a little emotional, recalling the scene of her first real meeting with Senju Makoto...
At that time, Unohana Retsu just took a fancy to Senju Makoto's love and talent for returning to the path, and planned to let him succeed the captain of the fourth division in the future.
Unexpectedly, after the two parties formed the bond called "master and apprentice", it seemed that the gears of fate began to turn towards another trajectory in the original plan.
century……
For Unohana Retsu, it was not an extremely long time, but looking back, I suddenly felt that I had undergone earth-shaking changes.
However, compared to his own inner feelings, Unohana Retsu still subconsciously wanted to speak to calm Senju Makoto's emotions.
"No way, a hundred years later, the situation has reversed to this point..."
Senju Makoto spoke first, his eyes looking down seemed to take in everything below him, and there was an indescribable domineering tone in his gentle voice as he said.
"Today, I am looking down at the Jingling Courtyard that I once hesitated and feared, and I hold it firmly in the palm of my hand."
When he said this, Senshou Makoto loosened his hold on Uozukaretsu's waist with one hand, slowly opened it in front of him, and then closed it suddenly.
If this sentence reaches the ears of other Shinigami, they will definitely be shocked by this extremely arrogant words.
However, only Unohana Retsu knows...
Behind him, Cheng, whom he fell in love with, truly controlled the entire Jing Ling Ting in every sense of the word.
What Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni, who had been fighting and balancing against the 46th Chamber of the Central Committee and the Zero Division for power for thousands of years, could not do, now Senju Makoto has truly accomplished.
The forty-six rooms in the center were all slaughtered, and the decadent aristocratic class was almost in decline...
Even in name, the Seireitei still retains the Shifengyuan family, the Kuchiki family, and a large number of other nobles among the four major nobles.
However, these remaining nobles were all selected and retained by Senju Cheng, and they were also used as a cover-up to confuse and mislead Team Zero.
In fact, there is only one voice in the entire Seireitei, and that is the voice of the Gotei 13th Division!
But the entire Gotei 13th Division was almost completely controlled by Unohana Retsu and Senju Makoto.
And all the Shinigami or nobles who had a desire to compete for power against Unohana Retsu died in the war with Sosuke Aizen.
Or die! Or waste!
Of course, in the eyes of Team Zero, there are still multiple voices on the surface of the entire Quiet Spirit Court.
For example, Tessai Arimyo and Hakugen Ariakida, who were specifically invited back to serve as the chief and deputy chiefs of the Oni Daoist clan, were nominally not under the direct jurisdiction of the Gotei 13th Division.
There are also institutions and organizations such as the independently operating sects and the Great Spirit Book Corridor controlled by the nobles. They are all the voices of the Seireitei that are independent of the Gotei 13th Division.
Then, the Seireitei maintained a nominal external threat from Aizen Soyousuke, while internally it was a situation of one superpower and many powerful ones.
