Chapter 773 Cleaning Up the House
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's conciliatory attitude surprised many people present.
This old man is not one to back down; you could only say the sun rose in the west today.
Kenpachi Zaraki grinned: "Disbanded?"
This boring meeting is finally over.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's aged eyes shifted slightly, his gaze lingering on him for a moment:
"Also, regarding the person who left the Eleventh Division, Ichinose Maki."
"……cough."
Even Kenpachi Zaraki had a few beads of cold sweat on his forehead at this moment.
After Ichinose Masaki challenged him again and defeated him, Kenpachi Zaraki hid the guy in the Eleventh Division.
I never expected to be singled out by Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
After a moment of silence, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said calmly, "Given that he has not posed any threat to the Seireitei, he is being granted special permission to return to the ranks."
"Captain Zaraki, you need to discipline your subordinates properly this time."
"……I see."
Meeting adjourned.
Leaving behind these words, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni left the conference room directly.
The team leaders in the meeting room hadn't left immediately; they were all looking at each other.
Is this the Captain-Commander Yamamoto they know?
Yuko asked Kyoraku Shunsui curiously, "Can the old man in the mountains eat lately?"
"What do you mean?" Kyoraku Shunsui was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "The same as usual, right? Simple food."
“That’s really strange.” Yuko shrugged. “I thought it was because people say good things when they are about to die.”
"But since he eats a lot, it probably isn't him."
"..."
Yuko is one of the few people who can make Kyoraku Shunsui feel defied the heavens.
Of course, in reality, there aren't many people who can joke around with him without any reservations once they reach this position.
Even his vice-captain, Xiao Qixu, wouldn't take jokes too far.
"Captain-Commander Yamamoto is so benevolent, yet you still want to humiliate him?!"
The captain of the 7th Division, Komamura Sajin, with a brown dog head, stepped forward, glaring angrily at Ikuko.
Everyone present was stunned again.
Kyoraku Shunsui quickly intervened to break up the fight, mainly to restrain Komamura Sajin, fearing that he would be killed by Ikuko.
"Never mind, she was just joking."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to humiliate Old Man Shan. The way this matter was handled was quite humane."
Yuko was also taken aback for a moment, apologized to him, and pointed at Kyoraku Shunsui.
"Because this old man didn't seem to be speaking up for his teacher at all, I think he might have some issues with his teacher, so I'm going to test him out for Old Man Shan. If he really is a traitor, I'll help him clean house."
Kyoraku Shunsui pointed at himself in shock: "What? Me?"
Yu Zi looked puzzled: "Then why don't you stand up for your teacher?"
She pointed at Komamura Sajin, who had a serious expression: "Everyone else has more guts than you. As the old man's last disciple, you didn't even react when your teacher was humiliated."
Upon hearing this, Komamura Sajin couldn't help but turn his gaze to Kyoraku Shunsui.
"..."
Kyoraku Shunsui withdrew his hand from in front of Komamura Sajin and pulled Ukitake aside, saying, "Let's go, let's go drink."
If he stayed any longer, he would be caught between two sides.
If the two of them team up to deal with Old Man Shan later, they'll be doomed.
Ukitake smiled apologetically at everyone before being pulled away by Kyoraku Shunsui.
After this commotion, none of the team leaders wanted to stay any longer, and some left and others dispersed.
Retsu Unohana approached Ikuko with great interest and greeted her, saying, "With a personality like yours, wouldn't anyone beat you up in the real world?"
Yu Zi held up a finger and shook it: "No, I'm a celebrity at school. Quite a few teachers and students have a crush on me."
I broke out in a cold sweat at night.
do you know?
The most terrifying thing is not a woman who is overly teasy.
What's most terrifying is that this woman knows her true personality, yet she perfectly hides her wicked nature from the outside world.
Unohana Retsu rolled her eyes slightly and said, "Want to come to the barracks for a cup of tea?"
"Just drinking tea?"
"Hmm, it's hard to say~ Maybe there will be intimate physical contact?"
Yu Zi, with dead fish eyes, said, "Don't make it sound so easy to misunderstand. I think you just want to kill me, Sister Hua."
"No, not this time. I just need to talk to you about something."
"Do I look stupid?" Yu Zi gave a cold laugh. "Please excuse me for refusing."
Unohana Retsu shrugged: "That's a real shame. But if you change your mind, Yuuko, you'd better come over before you leave. It's something important."
Leaving this question unanswered, Retsu Unohana departed.
After Unohana Retsu left, it was Kuchiki Byakuya's turn to greet him.
"Teacher, please come to my humble abode for a cup of tea."
"If your house is a humble abode, then that family must be a chicken coop."
Yoruichi, who was chatting with Soi Fon, overheard this and replied irritably.
"If my house is a chicken coop, then your house is a doghouse!"
Byakuya's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he nearly lost his icy, handsome image.
He nodded slightly: "The door of the Kuchiki family is always open to the teacher."
Yu Zi patted him with a smile: "Of course, even if you close the door, I can still climb over the wall."
Byakuya's lips twitched again; he really wanted to say something.
The only thing you must do is not be like that demon cat over there.
He was one of the few people who could maintain his persona in front of Yuko. After chatting for a few minutes, he left the team dormitory.
The team leaders who had a past relationship with Yu Zi exchanged a few words with her.
After the group left, only Yuuko, Yoruichi, Soi Fon, Bount, and Ranjima remained in the conference room.
Lan Dao asked suspiciously, "You really are the Grim Reaper, aren't you? You seem to know the captains so well."
Yuko pointed at Yoruichi: "That's not wrong. I'm the third seat of the Second Division for who knows how many times."
Lan Dao asked in surprise, "Only three seats?"
Yu Zi sighed, a shadow appearing in her eyes: "It's a long story. I was originally a somewhat talented Grim Reaper, more than qualified to become a captain, but I didn't have the money to bribe the captain, so she made things difficult for me."
Yoruichi walked over with a dark face: "It's a long story, so let's not talk about it."
Yuko asked curiously, "Doesn't Yoruichi want to hear it?"
Yoruichi gave a cold laugh: "If I weren't the captain who was making things difficult for someone."
Everyone: "..."
It's a real shame you two don't go into crosstalk.
Yoruichi let out a long breath, suppressing the urge to beat up Ikuko: "Let's go home and meet up with Ichigo and the others first, and then we can discuss returning to the human world."
At that moment, Koga Tsuyoshi suddenly spoke up.
“Kariya…”
He stopped and did not continue.
Fangye lowered her eyelids slightly and said softly, "He's dead."
"Yeah……"
Koga Tsuyoshi closed his eyes slightly.
Koga had already guessed when they lost. But the lack of a clear answer left him with a sliver of hope…
No, it can't be called luck.
He didn't have complicated feelings for Kariyagami; he was just a very charismatic man who had once made Kariyagami submit to him.
I just didn't expect his revenge to be so ruthless. He not only wanted to teach Soul Society a lesson, but also wanted to completely destroy Soul Society.
Yoshino understood his inner thoughts, pursed her lips and said, "That guy... maybe he just wants to end Bount's fate."
Koga suddenly opened his eyes. "What did you say?"
"That guy smiled before he died."
Koga Tsuyoshi's expression softened slightly.
"Yeah……"
So that's how it is? It's still the same Kariya God he knows.
"Alright, stop getting sentimental. Let's leave first. Old Man Shan won't let us stay for dinner."
Yuko stretched, interrupting the two of them.
After leaving the barracks, they greeted Rukia, who was waiting outside for Byakuya Kuchiki to start a meeting. The group then followed Yoruichi through the Seireitei and arrived at the Shihouin residence.
"This place is practically our base now," Yuko couldn't help but complain. "Every time we come to Soul Society as guests, we stop here to rest."
"What do you mean 'our base'?" Yoruichi frowned. "This is my home! My home!"
"And another thing! Are you here as a guest in Soul Society?"
"Have you ever even been a guest in Soul Society?!"
When have you ever not come here to cause trouble for Soul Society?!
Last time was one thing, at least it was for Aizen's sake.
This time you've gone so far as to help the Bounts turn the Seireitei into a complete mess!
What surprised Yoruichi was that Captain-Commander Yamamoto, who must have known the truth about the Bounts' power, remained silent about it, and even when he caught Yuuko secretly absorbing the power of the Purification Spell, he did not confront her.
Yoruichi simply couldn't imagine it.
Is it that Captain-Commander Yamamoto doesn't want to offend Ikuko?
Do not make jokes.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto is not the kind of person who would consider the strength of both sides. He adheres to his own sense of justice, and when he determines that you are on the evil side, he will not hesitate in the slightest, even if there is a difference in strength.
Even if the justice he upheld was merely to maintain the order of the Seireitei.
It can only be said that Captain-Commander Yamamoto probably considered Ikuko to be on his side and felt that he owed her something, which is why he didn't settle accounts with her.
"Teacher, Yoruichi, Yoshino, you're back."
Upon learning that Yuko and her group had returned, everyone rushed out to greet them.
"Eh, she looks exactly like Ms. Yoshino?!"
"You, you are..."
When they noticed Landao and Koga in the group, especially Koga, they instinctively became wary.
"Don't be nervous, he... he's reformed."
Yuko tapped her head with her fingertip and came up with this word.
He's turned over a new leaf!
Yoruichi rolled her eyes, too lazy to stay with these idiots, and left them to go find her younger brother.
Soi Fon really wanted to go with them, but she was too embarrassed to bother Yoruichi and Yuushirou.
Koga bowed to everyone and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
This man, who had not shown any weakness in front of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, bowed to everyone, leaving them somewhat at a loss for words.
"Let Yoshino explain the specifics to you, regarding the situation of this Miss Lan Island."
Yuko passed the responsibility to Yoshino.
Soi Fon asked, "Is Yuuko-nee thinking about Captain Unohana?"
"Hmm, I don't think Sister Hua would lie to me." Yu Zi nodded slightly. "Tell Yoruichi I'll go over there."
She added at the end.
"By the way, if I haven't returned in half an hour, I'm probably going to die."
"Please tell her to come and save me."
"..."
Soi Fon wanted to say that it couldn't be that bad, but she nodded silently anyway.
She watched as Yuko disappeared from the spot, her eyes suddenly widening.
Could it be...that thing...?
……
Fourth Division, Tea Room.
Unohana Retsu was sitting at the tea table, calmly sipping her tea.
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she abruptly drew her Zanpakuto from the coffee table, turning around to glare at him coldly.
"That's a good reaction, Sister Hua." Yu Zi smiled and gently brushed aside the knife tip pressed against her face.
Retsu Unohana sighed and slowly sheathed her Zanpakuto.
"Didn't anyone teach you to knock before entering a house?"
Yu Zi shrugged: "My mother died when I was very young, and my father never cared about me. My only close friend, my eldest brother, became a monk, and I only have my second brother, with whom I'm not very close. There really wasn't anyone to teach me."
Retsu Unohana poured her some tea and said calmly, "If you had said that when we first met, it might have been somewhat effective."
"Tsk... So, Sister Hua, what do you mean by 'important thing'?"
Yuko took a sip of tea and asked.
"This wasn't actually my decision, please wait a moment." Retsu Unohana got up, went to the window, and released the Hell Butterfly she used for communication.
"Hmm? Who is that?" Yuko was slightly taken aback. "How come I didn't know I had these connections within Seireitei?"
If it were Byakuya, there would definitely be no need for Hana to show up.
The same goes for Kyoraku.
Is it...
Yu Zi's eyes lit up slightly: "Could it be Old Man Shan?"
Retsu Unohana had just sat back down when she heard this and was taken aback: "Why would you think that?"
"He must be too embarrassed to apologize to me in front of so many people."
"There were a lot of people outside just now, so this old man knelt down for you."
"so?"
Retsu Unohana gave him a look that suggested he was mentally challenged: "I think your brain is getting more and more abnormal."
Yu Zi spread her hands: "Then I really can't think of anyone else."
Unohana Retsu calmly sipped her tea: "Why don't you just sit for a moment?"
"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly, but she's fast on foot and won't take you long."
"Her? A woman?"
"I guess so."
Yu Zi was startled: "What kind of ghost is this? Could it be a transvestite or something?"
"..."
Unohana Retsu ignored her and leisurely sipped her tea.
A little while later, the other one arrived.
"Little Yu~"
Kusajishi Yachiru jumped in through the window and clung to Ikuko's neck, nuzzling her face.
"Long time no see~ I miss you so much~"
"I just undressed a rough guy, don't hug or cuddle me!"
Yu Zi disgustedly pulled her off and put her down to sit.
