Chapter 8: Joining the Thirteenth Division
Chapter 8: Joining the Thirteenth Division
The Head Captain had thoroughly deliberated before making this decision. Assigning Yecheng to either the Eleventh Division or the Fourth Division would likely upset both Aizen Kira and Kenpachi Zaraki, potentially causing unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, to ensure stability, it was best to place Yecheng in another division.
The reason for choosing Kyouraku Shunsui was twofold: first, this guy had been the most enthusiastic about the spectacle, his grin almost reaching his ears. Second, the Head Captain also trusted Kyouraku Shunsui's strength. If Aizen Kira or Kenpachi Zaraki were to cause trouble, there were not many captains who could handle it.
The other captains also understood the Head Captain's intentions and thus offered their blessings to Kyouraku Shunsui.
"Congratulations, congratulations. A new Shinigami who can make Captain Unohana and Captain Zaraki fight must be quite exceptional."
"Congratulations to Captain Kyouraku and the Eighth Division for gaining a formidable warrior."
"What a pity. I was about to request him myself, but since it's the Head Captain's order, there's nothing I can do."
Seeing the other captains, who were gleefully piling on the praise, Kyouraku Shunsui's face was about to twist in frustration.
When he glanced at Yecheng again, he felt even more unbalanced. If Yecheng were a beautiful woman, even if it caused some trouble, Kyouraku Shunsui wouldn't mind taking him in. But Yecheng was not a woman; he was a handsome man, and his appearance even outshone Kyouraku Shunsui's. Bringing him to the Eighth Division would make it difficult for Kyouraku Shunsui to charm women in the future.
In recent years, young girls seemed to prefer handsome guys, whereas in the past, it was men like himself, with a brooding charm, who were more popular.
"Head Captain, our Eighth Division is already at full capacity and doesn't need any new members right now. Recently, when I was drinking with Jusi, he mentioned that his Thirteenth Division is short of personnel. Why don't we let this Shinigami join the Thirteenth Division?"
Hearing Kyouraku Shunsui's words, the Head Captain glanced at the recruitment banner for the Eighth Division in the main hall. It read: "Eighth Division Recruitment: Seeking a large number of intelligence gatherers. Three meals provided, good benefits, low risk. Young female Shinigami preferred."
"Cough, cough, Head Captain, if the Eighth Division can't take this Shinigami, then let him join our Thirteenth Division. As Kyouraku said, our Thirteenth Division is indeed short of personnel. If he is willing to join us, it will be a great help."
Hearing Ukitake's words, Kyouraku Shunsui immediately wore a satisfied expression and casually draped his arm over Ukitake's shoulder, who was still coughing.
In fact, he had known all along that his good friend Ukitake would take the burden off his hands. For any other division, a Shinigami named Naya Makoto would be a hot potato, but for Ukitake, it wouldn't be.
As everyone knew, Ukitake Jusi was the nicest person in Soul Society, not only the first captain of the Central Spiritual Academy but also someone with excellent interpersonal relations. Due to his frail health, even Aizen Kira and Kenpachi Zaraki, who might cause trouble with others, would never cause trouble for Ukitake.
"In that case, the Shinigami named Naya Makoto will be assigned to the Thirteenth Division. As for the punishment for the captains of the Fourth Division and the Eleventh Division, it will be carried out immediately."
Ukitake Jushiro and Kyouraku Shunsui are both students of the Head Captain. The Head Captain has long been aware of their personalities.
Ukitake has excellent interpersonal relationships and is extremely responsible. Entrusting this matter to him indeed gives the Head Captain greater peace of mind.
However, Kyouraku Shunsui had been laughing too much earlier, and Ukitake is often sick, so the Head Captain didn't want to make things too difficult for Ukitake.
The farce came to an end, and Yecheng himself never expected that he was just looking for a peaceful division to join, but ended up causing such a big commotion.
Fortunately, he couldn't join his most preferred Fourth Division, but in the end, he successfully joined his second choice, the Thirteenth Division.
The captain of the Thirteenth Division, Ukitake Jushiro, is one of the strongest captains and is also a very kind person. Originally, the Thirteenth Division was one of Yecheng's preferred choices.
Although he can't get close to Yachiru, and the number of girls in the Thirteenth Division is far less than in the Fourth Division, given the circumstances just now, he didn't seem to have much choice.
"You're Naya Makoto, right... cough, come with me back to the Thirteenth Division's barracks. From now on, you'll be a member of our Thirteenth Division.
Our Thirteenth Division is also known as the 'Purification Squad.' Our duty is to purify the souls in Rukongai that have become Hollows due to their moral decay, cough..."
In the world of Shinigami, people appear as spirits after death, with a chain on their chests. If they experience extreme emotional fluctuations or stay in the World of the Living for too long, they will turn into Hollows.
Rukongai is filled with many wandering spirits, so it's not uncommon for "Hollowification" to occur. Additionally, every day, a large number of ordinary people die in the World of the Living, and performing 'Soul Burial' on these souls is one of the Thirteenth Division's responsibilities.
Ukitake Jushiro walked ahead, his weak state causing him to cough after every sentence, making Yecheng fear that he might suddenly faint while walking.
However, there's no denying that Ukitake Jushiro is one of the strongest in Soul Society. He not only possesses one of the three paired Zanpakuto Shikai in Soul Society but is also the right arm incarnation of the Spirit King!
"Captain, you're back. How's the situation at the Central Spiritual Academy? Was it an invasion by a Vasto Lorde from Hueco Mundo?"
As they approached the Thirteenth Division's barracks, a man with black hair, deep smoky green eyes, long lower lashes, and a tattoo on his exposed shoulder, approached them and asked.
Hollows in Hueco Mundo are divided into four levels: Low-level Hollows, Menos Gigante, Adjuchas, and Vasto Lorde. Among them, a Vasto Lorde-level Hollow is said to have combat strength comparable to that of a Gotei 13 captain, and sometimes even a captain is no match for a Vasto Lorde.
After all, a Vasto Lorde is almost the pinnacle of Hollows, with unique Cero, extremely tough skin, and rapid regeneration abilities.
The intensity of the Reiatsu that erupted from the Central Spiritual Academy was undoubtedly at the captain level. The only thing Kaien Shiba could think of was a Vasto Lorde-level Hollow invading Seireitei.
"Actually, it was a conflict between Captain Unohana of the Fourth Division and Captain Zaraki of the Eleventh Division, cough. I'll explain the details to you when I have the time.
This is Naya Makoto, our new recruit. Explain to him our Thirteenth Division's responsibilities and any other important matters."
