Restricted Death

Chapter 104 Who will sweep the streets?
"You're right."

Captain Yamamoto actually continued to follow the letter and said, "You did a good thing. Shishiro has been suffering from this lung disease, and you helped him get rid of it."

After hearing what he said, Xin felt it was difficult to continue saying so. He said with a slightly more serious tone, "It is a doctor's duty to save the dying and the wounded."

Then Captain Yamamoto said again, "Let me see your Zanpakutō."

Xin immediately handed over the shallow sword he was wearing.

After Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni took it, he first looked at it carefully, which made Xin feel uneasy. After all, this man was an old monster who had lived for thousands of years. With his knowledge, he didn't know whether he could see through his disguise.

However, Xin had prepared himself mentally for this before coming here. If he was seen through, he would just say that it was just some tricks he used to get into the Fourth Division, and it shouldn't be a big mistake.

After examining the shallow sword for a long time, Captain Yamamoto looked thoughtful.

To be honest, he couldn't see what was so special about this Asauchi, whether it was the fact that it was a fully formed Zanpakutō but looked just like an ordinary Asauchi, or the fact that the Soul King's right hand resided within it but he couldn't sense it at all.

However, since it involves things related to the Spirit King, it is normal that it cannot be judged by common sense.

Just like Ukitake's lung disease, Unohana Retsu was unable to find the root cause.

He then asked, "Did you feel any difference after that day?"

Xin shook his head slightly: "No, I can still use my Zanpakutō as usual, as if it didn't exist at all. I even suspected that I was dazzled and saw it wrongly."

Captain Yamamoto was silent for a moment before returning the Asaoka to Nobu.

"Ukitake Jushiro, as the captain of the 13th Division, has been suffering from lung disease for a hundred years. You cured him and made a contribution to the Gotei 13. What reward do you want?"

It is estimated that half of this reward was due to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's personal favor. After all, outsiders are aware of the relationship between him and Ukitake.

Xin pondered, "I didn't think about this when I chose to treat Captain Ukitake."

Captain Yamamoto looked relieved: "It's not too late for you to think about it now."

Xin immediately chuckled, not seeming reserved at all in front of this man who held absolute authority in Soul Society.

"If the captain thinks my actions are worthy of encouragement, please give our Fourth Division some more support."

Captain Yamamoto looked surprised.

He only listened to Xin's explanation as he continued, "Our 4th Division is the medical division, but we have always been at a disadvantage in recruiting new members from the Spiritual Arts Academy every year. Therefore, I have discussed with Captain Unohana and Vice Captain Kotetsu that we need to make some changes."

Afterwards, Xin elaborated on his idea of ​​changing the overall atmosphere within the Fourth Division and strengthening the martial spirit, and said that he would not do anything that was completely contrary to the Fourth Division's team-building philosophy and would put the cart before the horse.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Kyoraku Shunsui beside him both became thoughtful after hearing this.

It was obvious at first glance that this reform concept came entirely from the person in front of them. They had known Unohana Retsu for so long and they all knew what kind of person he was.

The respective functions of the Gotei 13 were determined at the very beginning of their establishment.

However, not all squads remain unchanged. The Technical Development Bureau of Squad 12 was only established more than 50 years ago.

Captain Yamamoto pondered for a moment before saying, "You founded the Student Union during your time at the Spiritual Arts Academy, and it's been running very well. It's truly brought great convenience to both the teachers and students. Suzube Xiaozong has reported this to me more than once. It's clear from this that you're a very thoughtful person. As for your innovative ideas for the Fourth Division, as long as you strike a balance, I can support you."

Xin's face lit up with joy when he heard this: "Thank you, Captain."

He immediately chuckled and said, "In that case, I have a request that I hope the captain can grant."

"explain."

"It's about the cleaning work of Soul Society that the Fourth Division is responsible for." When these words came out, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Kyoraku Shunsui were both stunned, and they instantly realized what this kid meant.

Kyoraku Shunsui couldn't help but cough lightly, and the look he cast at Xin was a bit strange, as if to say, "You kid really know how to climb up the ladder."

But if you think about it carefully, the request made by Xin was not for himself, but for the Fourth Division.

Fortunately, it was because of this, otherwise it would seem that I was ungrateful.

Shin explained, "As the medical division, the Fourth Division already has a heavy workload. The comprehensive medical team requires a large number of members to be stationed on-site, while also juggling field missions and medical research. Now that we need to change the team's culture, the pressure on the members has increased significantly. Therefore, I hope that other divisions can help us share the cleaning work of Seireitei."

Captain Yamamoto stood there without saying a word, but his old face was staring at the letter with a sharp gaze.

Kyoraku Shunsui was also thinking that this matter was difficult to handle.

In fact, he had no objection to letting his own team members sweep the streets, and it was indeed unfair that only the Fourth Division was responsible for this matter. However, Unohana Retsu did not say anything about it, so he naturally did not bother to pay attention.

The key point is that some squads and captains may not agree to this.

For example, the Sixth Division...

And it's very likely that the opposition won't just come from within the Gotei 13, but also from the 46th Chamber...

If the old man in the mountain agreed to this, he would be putting himself on the fire.

This kid, doesn't he understand the meaning of what he's doing...

After all, it is the nobles who control the order of Seireitei and Soul Society.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was silent for a moment before he said, "I can assign another squad to help your Fourth Squad share this work."

Xin smiled and said, "Captain, I'm afraid the squad you've appointed will be somewhat reluctant. If they resent our Fourth Squad for this, wouldn't that damage the harmony of Squad Thirteen?"

Yamamoto looked calm: "So what do you mean?"

As he said this, Kyōraku was also staring closely at Nobu.

Xin certainly knew what he was saying and what he was doing.

His expression was calm and respectful as he slowly spoke, "I think it would be better to divide this work equally among all the squads. I think that way everyone would be more than satisfied. At most, there would be some resentment, but it would just be a few complaints about suddenly having an extra task. It's harmless. What do you think, Captain?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did not answer. He looked at the letter calmly for a while and said, "You should go back first."

"……Yes."

Xin bowed and left the room.

After Xin left, Yamamoto suddenly asked Kyoraku, who was standing beside him, "Do you think he did this on purpose?"

Jingle felt a little embarrassed. If he said yes, wouldn't that mean Xin was being too bold?

And he did feel that Xin was just testing him.

"Tachikawa is young after all, so he shouldn't have so many twists and turns in his mind."

What he said was an excuse for Xin.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's eyes were deep and deep, and he only said, "Is that so?"
