Chapter 111 Dealing with the aftermath
Soul Society
After Gin Ichimaru woke up and the captain-in-chief confirmed the evidence that Lin Yu colluded with Kisuke Urahara and others to betray Soul Society, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto convened a captain's meeting to make the final decision on the matter.
Captain Lin Yu of the Seventh Division colluded with Urahara Kisuke to kill Captain Tosen Kaname of the Ninth Division and Captain Shiba Isshin of the Tenth Division. Since he had already been killed by Captain Aizen Sosuke of the Fifth Division, there was no need to issue a warrant for their arrest.
The news sent shockwaves through the Gotei 13, especially the members of Squad 7, who refused to believe their captain had betrayed them. They claimed there must be a misunderstanding and demanded a reinvestigation, but Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni refused to change his mind.
"How is this possible? How could our captain do such a thing!" a member of Team 7 said excitedly.
"Yes, there must be something wrong here. We need a reasonable explanation." Another team member echoed.
However, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's attitude was very firm: "The evidence is irrefutable. Lin Yu colluded with Urahara Kisuke and betrayed the Soul Society. This is an undeniable fact."
"Vice-Captain Tetsuzaemon, what do you think about this?" Komamura Sajin, who has a pair of werewolf ears, asked for his opinion.
Tetsuzaemon still looked cool and said seriously, "I don't believe the captain is a traitor to Soul Society, but the higher-ups have already made their decision, so we can only accept it silently."
Faced with Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's tough stance, the members of the 7th Division were extremely disappointed. They could not accept this reality and had deep doubts about the top leaders of Soul Society.
At the same time, members of other teams also began to discuss the matter. Some believed that this was just a victim of a power struggle, while others thought that Lin Yu might really be a traitor.
At this moment, a mysterious man quietly appeared and handed a secret letter to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni took a look at the contents of the letter and frowned immediately.
This secret letter was the message Yoruichi had received through the Shihouin family. As he opened it and read it, his eyes grew serious. He wasn't too concerned about the person who had taken Lin Yu's body, as he already knew the answer: it must have been Bayunsai and Saito. However, what really worried him was the Quincy.
Recalling two hundred years ago, he had ordered Kuchiki Hibiki to lead a thorough purge of the remaining Quincies. However, he hadn't expected two more Quincies to appear in Karakura Town. One had even saved Shiba Isshin, who had been badly beaten by Kyohaku, while the other harbored a strong hostility towards Soul Society. The appearance of these two Quincies made him realize that there might be other Quincy groups hidden behind them, something he had never known before.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is well aware of the ancient hatred between the Quincies and the Shinigami, a conflict that is now irreconcilable. Now, with the emergence of two new Quincies, and the potential Quincy organization behind them, Soul Society faces an unknown threat. As the captain of the Gotei 13, it is his duty to nip this danger in the bud.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni pondered for a moment. "Choujiro! Have Hibiki come see me."
"Yes! Captain. I'll go inform Xianghe right away."
Not long after, Kuchiki Hibiki came before Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni.
"Captain, what do you want to talk to me about?" asked Kuchiki Xianghe.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stared at Kuchiki Hibiki with a serious expression and said solemnly, "The Quincy have appeared again. Although there are only two of them this time, it is difficult to determine whether there are hidden figures behind this. I need you to lead the special forces and conduct a thorough investigation into their background."
Kuchiki Hibiki respectfully accepted the order and said, "Yes, Captain! I will definitely live up to your trust."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni nodded slightly and continued, "Also, find out Lin Yu's whereabouts. This guy is so lazy and gave up. It's really annoying."
Kuchiki Hibiki's heart tightened, knowing the significance of this mission, but he still responded firmly, "I understand, Captain. It's just that I don't know the exact location of Master."
"Him! He must be with Bayunsai and Saito. Just go find them."
"Then I will set off immediately."
"Wait a moment. When you see Lin Yu, tell him that when he comes back, I will definitely hang him up and beat him up!"
"I understand, Captain!" A hint of helplessness flashed in Kuchiki Hibiki's eyes.
Afterwards, Kuchiki Hibiki led a team of elites to Karakura Town to investigate.
In Karakura Town, a gate opened silently.
After Kuchiki Hibiki led the special forces to Karakura Town, he immediately launched an investigation into the incident.
They secretly observed the actions of the two Quincies, collecting clues and trying to find the organization behind them.
At the same time, Kuchiki Hibiki also followed the order of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and rushed to the place where Bayunsai and others were staying.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There was a rhythmic knock on the door.
"Who?"
Bayunzhai and others immediately became alert. Their whereabouts in the mortal world were extremely secretive, and not many people knew about it.
"Master's wife, please open the door! I am Xianghe."
As Kuchiki Hibiki's voice was heard, the door slowly opened.
Bayunzhai poked his head out, a hint of surprise on his face: "It's Xianghe! Why did you suddenly come to the human world?"
Kuchiki Hibiki smiled and replied, "Captain Yamamoto sent me here. Master should be here too, right?"
At this time, Lin Yu's voice came from inside the house: "Hey! Xianghe, why are you here?"
Kuchiki Hibiki walked into the house and explained, "It's all because of the trouble you guys caused, and those two Quincies that showed up."
Lin Yu asked with a guilty conscience: "The captain is not angry, right?"
Kuchiki Hibiki shook his head helplessly and relayed Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's words: "Master, the captain asked me to tell you something. When you return, he will definitely hang you up and give you a good beating!"
After hearing this, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly. He knew Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's temper and was afraid that he would suffer a lot if he returned this time.
"What's the current situation in Soul Society?" Lin Yu asked.
Kuchiki Hibiki knew that Lin Yu was asking about the impact of this incident on Soul Society.
Kuchiki Hibiki frowned and said, "There were some disturbances, but they've all been brought under control. But Master, you've really gone too far this time. You've caused Soul Society to lose three captains in a short period of time! This is truly a headache."
Lin Yu smiled disapprovingly: "It's not as serious as you say. This matter is actually very easy to solve."
"Then Master, how can we solve this problem?"
"I discussed the candidate for the captain of the Tenth Division with Captain-in-Chief Yamamoto before I left Soul Society. The current third seat, Hitsugaya Toshiro, is a good successor." Lin Yu said with a relaxed look.
Kuchiki Hibiki frowned and said, "Hitsugaya Toushirou? That little brat? I remember he hasn't learned Bankai yet, right?"
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Yes, he hasn't learned Bankai yet, but with his talent, if you push him a little more, I believe he will master Bankai soon."
Kuchiki Hibiki thought for a moment and said, "Well, I hope he can master Bankai as soon as possible and become a qualified captain. What about your Seventh Division?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "The Seventh Division can be temporarily handed over to that big dog Komamura Sajin. He has already learned Bankai and his strength is barely acceptable among the captains. The Seventh Division is the best choice in his hands."
Kuchiki Hibiki nodded and said, "Well, Komamura Sajin is indeed a suitable candidate. What about the 9th Division?"
Lin Yu shrugged helplessly and said, "Xianghe, I'm not the captain, so this isn't something I should be concerned about. Go back and ask the captain directly. Why are you asking me?"
Xianghe smiled and shook his head. This master of his was really capable of anything just to shirk his responsibilities. He had even arranged a way out. There was no point in discussing this now.
"Master, I have one last question. What's the matter with the Quincy that appeared this time? This is also what I came to the human world to deal with." Xianghe asked the last doubt in his mind. Since the master knew so much about the human world, he must know the cause and effect of this incident.
"You are talking about Kurosaki Masaki and Ishida Ryugen! Don't worry, there is no one behind this matter. They are just a few remnants of the Quincy of the Ishida family. And that Kurosaki Masaki might become Isshin's wife." Lin Yu showed a sly smile, as if he knew something that others didn't know.
"Oh? Master, why are you so sure?" Xianghe asked curiously. It was the first time he heard such a statement.
"Because I know her! She is a very special girl." Lin Yu smiled mysteriously and did not explain any further.
Upon hearing this, Bayunsai, Saito and Hiyori came over immediately. They were very interested in this kind of gossip.
"What?! Kurosaki Masaki will marry Shiba Isshin?" Hiyori exclaimed in surprise.
"Shh! Keep your voice down! We haven't even started yet!" Lin Yu quickly signaled Hiseri to keep her voice down.
"How can you be sure?" Bayunzhai said excitedly.
"Think about it, Isshin has become an ordinary person now. If he wants to live in the real world, he will definitely learn something to be self-reliant and will not stay with Urahara Kisuke and the others forever. As long as he moves out, he will definitely have contact with society, but he is unfamiliar with Karakura Town and only knows Kurosaki Masaki. Guess what will happen?" Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"Even if Shiba Isshin has this idea, can you guarantee that Kurosaki Masaki will like him and marry him?" Kuchiki Hibiki asked doubtfully.
Lin Yu smiled confidently: "Don't forget why Shiba Isshin became an ordinary human. It was because he transferred all his spiritual pressure into Kurosaki Masaki's body and saved Masaki who was almost turned into a Hollow. This is a life-saving grace! And Masaki is at the age of youth and first love. What do you think will happen between them? Hehe."
After saying that, Lin Yu couldn't help laughing twice, but for some reason, his laughter sounded a little obscene.
Everyone burst into laughter at Lin Yu's words. However, Hiyori suddenly asked a question that made everyone laugh: "So, isn't Isshin an old cow eating young grass?" Her thinking was always so unique that it surprised and amused everyone.
Saito analyzed seriously, "Seriously, it's true. Shiba Isshin must be hundreds of years old, and Kurosaki Masaki is only in his teens. It's too cruel. How could he have done that?"
These two masters and apprentices are really of the same moral character. They can think of the same thing. It is really true that if they are not from the same family, they will not enter the same door.
"There is no mastermind behind this, so just follow the normal procedures. However, Ishida Ryugen is Masaki's fiancé after all, so you should be a little more lenient with him. Just give him a warning. Anyway, I scared him when I took action before, so he won't be restless." Lin Yu said after thinking for a while.
"I understand, Master." Xiumu Xianghe nodded, indicating that he understood what Lin Yu meant.
Xianghe nodded and stopped asking. He knew that Lin Yu's suggestion that Kurosaki Masaki might become Shiba Isshin's wife was something he decided to put aside for now. After all, it was a matter of fate between them, not something he could interfere with.
"Master, do you have any specific plans next? Will you stay in Karakura Town forever?" Hibiki asked with concern.
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and then replied, "That's not necessarily true. I finally have a chance to be lazy, but it's really boring to stay in Karakura Town. Maybe I'll travel around a bit."
"Traveling around isn't bad either," Kuchiki Hibiki agreed with a smile. "You might even run into some interesting people and things. By the way, Master, if you encounter any danger during your travels, be sure to notify Soul Society immediately."
Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help laughing. He patted Xiumu Xianghe on the shoulder and said, "Xianghe, who are you looking down on? How could your master be in danger? Stop joking!"
"Alright! Now that all matters are dealt with, don't rush back to Soul Society. Stay and taste your master's cooking."
"That's great! I haven't eaten the food cooked by Master's Wife for a long time."
After having a good meal and a drink, Kuchiki Hibiki led the special forces back to Soul Society to report to the captain-in-chief.
"You mean Lin Yu let Komamura Sajin be the captain of the Seventh Division? And then asked me to find a way to arrange the captain of the Ninth Division myself?" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said with a frown.
"Yes, Captain!" Kuchiki Hibiki answered respectfully.
"This brat created trouble for himself and doesn't even think about solving it." Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni said unhappily.
"Master said that you are the captain, and these are the things you should worry about. He doesn't have so much free time to take care of these trivial matters." Kuchiki Xianghe explained helplessly.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni sighed. "Alright! As for the Quincy matter, since Lin Yu has already confirmed it, there's no need to delve into it further. We just need to keep an eye on the people he mentioned."
