Chapter 1090: Karakura Town, a Place of Turmoil
Chapter 1090: Karakura Town, a Place of Turmoil
When Aizen betrayed the Gotei 13, several captain positions became vacant. However, after the Visored returned to the Soul Society, there weren't enough captain positions to go around.
Apart from Kira Izuru taking over the Third Division and Abarai Renji becoming the captain of the Ninth Division, former captains Hisagi Shuuhei and Aikawa Rōbu were now just seated officers.
Faced with this situation, Ye Cheng naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity, so he brought all of them to the Human World.
At the same time, as the five of them were heading to the Human World, in Karakura Town, the resident Shinigami, Sado Yasutora, was handing over his duties to two new Shinigami.
The 13th Division, known as the Purification Squad, is responsible for purifying souls that have fallen into Hollows in various cities of the Human World.
Typically, the Hollows in the Human World are not very powerful. After all, this is the Human World, not Hueco Mundo, where even the weakest Menos, the Gillians, are rare.
Therefore, the Shinigami assigned to guard Human World cities are usually recent graduates from the Seireitei Academy, who have just joined the 13th Division.
"As a senior, I’ll give you some advice. If you encounter an enemy you can’t handle in this city, don’t hesitate—run immediately.
Also, in this city, besides the Shinigami sent by the Gotei 13, there are some strange characters. It’s best to avoid them if you can."
Sado Yasutora, with his wild hair, was imparting his experience of serving in Karakura Town to the two young Shinigami, his gaze tinged with a hint of sympathy.
To be honest, being a resident Shinigami in a Human World city is not a particularly demanding job in the 13th Division.
Because the Hollows that appear in the Human World are generally weaker, new Shinigami are often sent here for training.
Moreover, compared to the Soul Society, life in the Human World is indeed more colorful.
However, the key lies in the city you are responsible for.
If it were any other city in the Human World, it would be a pleasant assignment. But in Karakura Town...
Karakura Town is a place of heavy spiritual energy, with far more Hollows than in other cities.
Moreover, if it were just Hollows, that would be one thing. But Sado Yasutora, who had been stationed here for a long time, knew well that this city was home to some former captains who left the Soul Society over a century ago, as well as a Substitute Shinigami and his friends. This city was also the final battleground during the great battle with Hueco Mundo.
In short, Karakura Town is a true place of turmoil. Perhaps that’s why the 13th Division has, for the first time, sent two new Shinigami to be stationed here.
Usually, only one Shinigami is assigned to each area, but this time, two new Shinigami were sent to replace Sado Yasutora.
"Sure enough, as the rumors say, Karakura Town is quite dangerous. Why do we have to be stationed here when there’s already that incredibly strong Substitute Shinigami around..."
The two young Shinigami sent to replace Sado Yasutora in Karakura Town were a man and a woman, both recent additions to the 13th Division.
The male Shinigami, Nagaki Ryuunosuke, is somewhat timid and often gets scolded.
The female Shinigami, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of Ryuunosuke. She is strong-willed, determined, and very competitive, embodying the spirit of a tough woman.
Her name is Shinji Tsume, and she is the sister of Ikkaku Madarame.
A Substitute Shinigami isn’t part of the Gotei 13, after all. Purifying Hollows in the Human World is the responsibility of the Gotei 13.
"If you’re so afraid, why did you join the 13th Division instead of the 4th Division?"
Tsume was quite dissatisfied with the timid Nagaki Ryunosuke. The thought of having to work with a man who lacked courage made her sigh deeply.
"To be honest, I did want to join the 4th Division, but I didn’t meet the requirements, so I ended up in the 13th Division.
I heard that the captain and lieutenant of the 13th Division are very kind and take good care of their subordinates, so..."
"Boring. I never thought you’d join the 13th Division for such a reason."
Before Ryunosuke could finish, Tsume interrupted him.
"Then why did you join the 13th Division, Tsume? If I’m not mistaken, your brother is the Third Seat of the 11th Division.
If you joined the 11th Division, you would have received a lot of support, right? Is it because the 11th Division, as a combat division, is too dangerous?"
As soon as Ryunosuke finished speaking, Tsume shot him a Byakugan: "Do you think everyone is as useless as you?
I chose the 13th Division because my greatest idol used to be a member of the 13th Division.
Unfortunately, when I joined, my idol had already moved to another division."
Ryunosuke was about to ask who Tsume’s idol was, but the next moment, both of them seemed to sense something and turned their heads toward a certain direction in Karakura Town.
"Senior Sado Yasutora was right. This Karakura Town is indeed a place of trouble!
We’ve only just arrived, and already something unusual is happening."
The unusual phenomenon Ryunosuke was referring to was the sudden appearance of a large number of Hollows’ spiritual pressures in a specific area of Karakura Town. These Hollows seemed to be guided by something, all moving in the same direction.
"Enough talk. The unknown gathering of Hollows is our responsibility as Shinigami stationed in this city. We need to check it out."
Following the Hollows’ spiritual pressures, Ryunosuke and Tsume arrived at a building in Karakura Town. They discovered that the large number of Hollows had gathered because of a man in a white outfit standing on the rooftop.
"Is this spiritual pressure... from an Arrancar?"
The man in white, sensing the presence of the Shinigami, turned to look at Ryunosuke and Tsume. However, upon hearing Tsume call him an Arrancar, he frowned slightly.
He threw the "Hollow Attractor" he was holding to the ground, and the Hollows that had been drawn in immediately went berserk.
Before Tsume could ask who the man was, he vanished from his original position. The Hollows, having lost their target, instantly turned their attention to Ryunosuke and Tsume.
The Hollows in the Human World weren’t particularly strong, but the sheer number of them, drawn by the Hollow Attractor, was overwhelming.
Especially after Tsume and Ryunosuke had cut down several Hollows in quick succession, the ground shook violently, and three Menos Gillians suddenly appeared in their field of vision, charging at them and forming red Ceros.
