From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 416 The meeting between Yamamoto Genryusai and Kuchiki Ginrin.

First Brigade, headquarters dormitory.

In the reception room of Yamamoto Genryusai.

At this time, the head of the Kuchiki family, Kuchiki Ginrin, and his son, the current vice-captain of the 6th Division, Kuchiki Sojun, were visiting here.

"How is Sojun's health recently?" Yamamoto Genryusai picked up the teacup and asked with concern.

Among the four great noble families today, he, as the captain-general, has the closest relationship with the Kuchiki family.

Kuchiki Sojun is the next generation heir of the Kuchiki family. Recently, he was recruited by Kuchiki Ginling into the Sixth Division and served as the vice-captain.

It's just that Kuchiki Sojun is born weak and sickly, his health is not very good, and his spiritual pressure is not particularly strong. So far, he has not mastered the power of Bankai. Of course, as a member of the Kuchiki family, he still has some talents. For example, he is quite good in the way of the ghost.

But overall, his fighting ability is average, even a little weak.

At the beginning, Kuchiki Ginrin had considered many times whether to let Kuchiki Sojun join the Gotei 13, and hesitated for a long time, but in the end she felt that as the next generation head of the family, Kuchiki Sojun needed to participate in the work of the Gotei 13.

"Thank you for your concern, Captain. I've been doing fine these days." Kuchiki Sojun responded politely with a slightly pale face.

"That's good. Captain Kuchiki, don't be too impatient and don't put too much pressure and burden on Sojun." Yamamoto Genryusai nodded.

Xiumu Yinling held the teacup in her hand, smiled and said, "I will obey the captain's orders."

“Hehehe.” Yamamoto Genryusai also smiled and shook his head, which was rare. “Even when you are joking, you are so serious.”

"Maybe you're not very good at joking." Xiu Mu Yin Ling responded after taking a sip of tea.

Soon, the two of them talked about some things about the Sixth Division. After finishing these official business, Kuchiki Ginling handed over an invitation and said, "Captain, please take a look."

Yamamoto Genryusai took the invitation with some curiosity, opened it and took a look, then said in surprise: "Has Kanon reached the age of marriage? Time flies. Ise Hibiki, this name sounds a little familiar to me."

"He is a newcomer who graduated from the Shino Spiritual Academy not long ago and joined my Sixth Division." Kuchiki Ginling explained softly.

"Really? No wonder he sounds familiar. Is he a child from the Ise family?" Yamamoto Genryusai asked again.

"No." Kuchiki Ginling shook her head and said, "He is a commoner from Rukongai."

The Ise family is also an aristocratic class. Although they are not great nobles, they are also very powerful. The Ise family almost monopolizes the Shinto beliefs in Soul Society. They are a family that serves the so-called "God". I wonder what other gods these gods of death believe in?

In short, such a family does exist. Later, the vice-captain of the 8th Division, Ise Nanao, was a member of the Ise family.

Marriage between nobles was very normal, so Yamamoto Genryusai subconsciously regarded this 'Ise Hibiki' as a member of the Ise family.

However, when Yamamoto Genryusai heard from Kuchiki Ginling that this was not the case and that Ise Hibiki was a commoner from Rukongai, he was a little surprised.

I just looked at his puzzled expression and asked, "Rukoundai?"

"That's right. I didn't agree with it at first." Kuchiki Ginling smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But unfortunately, Hanane was his classmate in the academy. They got along very well and developed feelings for each other. Cangchun also doted on Hanane. The two siblings teamed up to deal with me, and I had no way to deal with them."

Kuchiki Sojun, who was standing by, said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "I have known Xianghe for a long time. He has performed very well in the academy and has great talent. His grades in various subjects are quite excellent. He can be regarded as the head of the academy this year. I think he will definitely achieve something in the future. In addition, Hanane really likes him. As an older brother, how could I have the heart to refuse Hanane's crying and begging?"

"It seems that I haven't paid enough attention to the academy during this period. Is Ise Hibiki the top student of this year?" Yamamoto Genryusai smacked his lips and said, "That must be a very talented child."

"I have tested him for a long time afterwards. Although he has some flaws in his character, he is indeed upright and passionate. He is a good boy." Xiumu Yinling also praised.

"Father, if you could praise Xianghe like this in person, he would definitely be very happy." Kuchiki Sojun said with a smile.

"That's not good. It might fuel his arrogance." Xiu Mu Yin Ling immediately shook his head.

Without saying more to Xiumu Cangchun, Xiumu Yinling quickly said, "Now that things have come to this, I am ready to invite him to be my son-in-law and marry him into my Xiumu family. I have come here today to give you the invitation, Captain."

"Since Sojun's wedding more than a hundred years ago, your Kuchiki family hasn't had a happy event for a long time. I will be there on time." Yamamoto Genryusai responded.

After a brief pause, Yamamoto Genryusai looked at Kuchiki Sojun and said, "I heard that your son Byakuya will be enrolling in the Shinō Spiritual Academy in the next few days?"

"Bai Ya has also reached this age." Kuchiki Sojun said with a smile.

When talking about his son, his face was full of pride. Unlike this sickly child, Byakuya Kuchiki was in good health, had excellent spiritual pressure strength since childhood, and was very talented. It could be said that he learned things very quickly.

Kuchiki Ginrin also loves her grandson Byakuya very much and almost regards him as the perfect heir to the Kuchiki family for the next generation.

"I am also looking forward to his performance." Yamamoto Genryusai said with satisfaction.

Since the founding of the Shinō Spiritual Academy, only the Kuchiki family has allowed their family members to enroll, while the other three noble families have never done so.

Even the Shifengin family, which also had a good relationship with Yamamoto Genryusai, adhered to the family tradition of educating talented people, not to mention the heirs, even the side branches did not go. The same was true for the Tenshoin family and the Tsunayashiro family.

Because they all believed that if they allowed their family members to attend classes at the Shinō Spiritual Academy, they would inevitably be influenced by Yamamoto Genryusai and bear his mark, which would cause Yamamoto Genryusai's influence to infiltrate their family through these aspects.

Another thing is that Yamamoto Genryusai teaches everyone, and the Shinō Spiritual Academy accepts students from the entire Soul Society. It doesn't matter if you are a noble, a commoner, or even a "low caste" from Rukongai, as long as you can arrive at the academy and register, the academy will accept you all.

Moreover, in teaching, he treated everyone equally and did not keep anything for himself. What aristocratic students could learn, commoners could also learn.

Therefore, in the beginning, there were almost no nobles attending the Shino Spiritual Academy. Later, the Kuchiki family was the first to respond to Yamamoto Genryusai. For example, Kuchiki Sojun had studied in the Shino Spiritual Academy. Later, except for the remaining three noble families, the middle and lower nobles of all sizes also began to send their family members to the Shino Spiritual Academy.

In fact, it was from that time that the relationship between Yamamoto Genryusai and the Kuchiki family became increasingly close.

After saying this, the atmosphere among them suddenly became silent.

This made Yamamoto Genryusai realize that the purpose of Kuchiki Ginling's visit this time was probably far more than just sending an invitation.

He put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Xiumu Yinling and said, "Captain Xiumu, do you have any unspeakable secrets?"

Kuchiki Ginling was silent for a moment, then looked at Yamamoto Genryusai and said, "Captain-General, how have you been getting along with that Spirit Master these days?"

"Not bad." Yamamoto Genryusai said after thinking about it.

"What about the development of the Pure Land?" Xiu Mu Yin Ling asked again.

"I have not yet mentioned this matter to that spiritual master." Yamamoto Genryusai said calmly.

"As expected, the captain-general is still as calm and steady as ever in his work." Xiumu Yinling sighed lightly.

Yamamoto Genryusai helped him add some tea to his cup and asked, "Is the Kuchiki family a little anxious?"

"We in the Kuchiki family are not in a hurry. I hold the same idea as the captain-general. This matter is of great importance and will inevitably shake the entire Soul Society and affect a series of changes in the future. We must not act rashly and need to think carefully. At the same time, I do not completely trust that spiritual master, and perhaps it will take time to accumulate knowledge in this regard." Kuchiki Yinling said.

Yamamoto Genryusai nodded in approval and said, "That's true. A small move can affect the entire body. We can't be too impatient."

"Although we think so, others may not think so." Xiu Mu Yin Ling said softly after taking a sip of tea.

Yamamoto Genryusai's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and then he asked, "Are the other three families getting a little impatient?"

"There is no movement from the Shifengin family. The head of the Tenjingin family, Tenjingin Honsai, had a conversation with me yesterday. Because of our cooperation on the 'Ring', our two families currently have a feeling of being able to advance and retreat together, so it's okay. But the same may not be true for the Tsunayashiro family," responded Kuchiki Ginling.

"Tsunayashiro." A hint of disgust flashed across Yamamoto Genryusai's eyes, and he said to Kuchiki Ginling without disguising, "They are the most greedy of all!"

"Although the matter of the Spirit King was done jointly by the ancestors of the five major families, the captain-general is also very clear that this matter was led by the Tsunayashiro family. The subsequent suppression of the Shiba clan was also led by the Tsunayashiro clan and cooperated with the Central Forty-Six Offices. As the current head of the Kuchiki family, there are some things I shouldn't say, but I do feel a little ashamed of the things that our ancestors did before." Kuchiki Ginling said.

"It's been such a long time since this happened." Yamamoto Genryusai shook his head without any intention of commenting on this.

"These things are over and over, but the problems exposed from them are also very obvious. The Tsunamiyo clan has always been somewhat radical. I'm afraid that if the matters of Lingzun and Pure Land cannot satisfy their appetite, they may also cause disasters. What do you think, Captain-General?" said Xiumu Yinling with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Yamamoto Genryusai stared at Kuchiki Ginling without saying anything. After waiting for a while, he slowly nodded and said, "I will pay attention to this matter."

"Then thank you for your concern." Xiumu Yinling retracted her slightly solemn gaze, then smiled and said, "It's late at night, we won't disturb your rest, Captain."

Yamamoto Genryusai stood up to see them off and quickly escorted Kuchiki Ginrin and Kuchiki Sojun out of the first squadron's barracks.

Standing at the door, watching the two of them gradually disappear at the end of the street, Yamamoto Genryusai did not turn around, but just stood there quietly.

Suzuki Chojiro, who had been listening but never spoke, could not help but ask, "Master Genryusai, what do you think?"

"The Tsunayashiro family is indeed inappropriate." Yamamoto Genryusai responded calmly, and then said: "The Kuchiki family is also worried that their family's overly radical style of action will bring disaster to themselves."

"The disaster will affect myself?" Suzuki Chojiro looked at Yamamoto Genryusai with some confusion.

"The Kuchiki family enjoys the reputation of 'the first of the four noble families'. The Shifeng family doesn't care. The Tensei family is indeed a little inferior, but how can the Tsunayashiro family not covet this reputation?" Yamamoto Genryusai shook his head with emotion and said, "Captain Kuchiki is probably very worried. The Tsunayashiro family has taken another successful risk this time and obtained the most lucrative benefits, thus suppressing the Kuchiki family. And judging from the past events of the Shiba family, the Tsunayashiro family is a jackal."

At this point, he looked at Chojiro Suzuki, who he trusted the most, and said, "Tell me, how many great nobles do Tsunayashiro hope to have who can stand on equal footing with them?"

"This?" Chojiro Suzuki was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a little creepy.

Chojiro Suzuki fell into silence. After a few minutes, he saw Bane walking leisurely towards him from the other side of the street corner.

"Huh? Are you waiting for me, Captain-General?" Bane asked doubtfully when he saw Yamamoto Genryusai standing at the door.

Yamamoto Genryusai smiled, shook his head and said, "It's just a cool breeze."
