"Shh~"

"You two, keep your voices down!"

Just as Saito, who was immortal, was about to beat up Shihouin Sennatsu, a clear voice rang in their ears!

The speaker was a burly, muscular man with short brown hair, toying with a short sword in his hand. He was winking at Saito and Shihouin Chihiro while subtly gesturing ahead. It seemed he was signaling to them to be wary of someone…

"Hey kid, what are you doing making faces at me like that?"

"Could it be that bald guy, Shizizhai, who's here?"

Unfortunately, Saito, who was immortal, completely ignored the burly man's winks and spoke loudly with one hand on her hip.

Then, following the direction that Odanjiro was pointing, Saito, who was immortal, saw the person standing at the very front of all the captains, the captain-commander of the Gotei 13, known as "Cross Sai"—Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni himself!

Because Yamamoto was standing in front of all the captains and his figure was obscured by the other captains, Saito, the immortal, didn't notice him when he first arrived.

"Hehe, Master Shan, you're here? Hehe..."

For a moment, Saito, who was immortal, seemed to have lost his temper, like a firecracker that had gone silent, and dared not utter another word of nonsense...

Fortunately, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, known as "Cross Saito," had no time to pay attention to Saito's immortality. He was focused on the two people engaged in a fierce "life-or-death" battle not far away.

"Ugh……"

"I knew it would be like this!"

The burly man, none other than the first captain of the Fifth Division, Odanjiro, sighed helplessly at Saito's reckless behavior. He had done his best; what Saito would be taught a lesson afterward was no longer his concern.

“So annoying…”

Why should I work with these rude guys?

"Sigh, it's hopeless that Seireitei needs these random guys to guard it!"

The speaker had long, gray-white hair, a pale face devoid of any color, and eyes that looked exhausted as if they might close at any moment. It seemed as if he would never wake up, and his whole demeanor exuded a sense of dejection and despondency...

This person is named Shishima Chigiri, the current captain of the Fourth Division of the Gotei 4, and naturally also the original captain of the Fourth Division.

"Why are you all here?"

"What exactly is going on here?"

"Now that you're all here, why don't you go and stop those two from fighting?"

"Are you just going to stand by and watch them run rampant in Seireitei?"

After discovering that even Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had been drawn to the intense spiritual pressure of the two battles, Saito Immortal finally calmed down. She quietly approached Shihouin Senhi and whispered, "..."

"You're asking me? Who should I ask? When I arrived, Captain-Commander Yamamoto was already there. He was standing there like a statue, completely still, watching the fight between those two!"

Upon hearing this, Shihouin Sennatsu shrugged helplessly, regretting that he also didn't know what was going on here.

Then, as if realizing something, Shihouin Chihiro added, "However, judging from Captain-Commander Yamamoto's slightly upturned lips... I suspect that the guy fighting Uno over there might be someone Captain-Commander Yamamoto knows."

"Huh? Someone the old man in the mountains knows?"

"I want to see what Yamamoto's acquaintances look like. Are they balding old men like Yamamoto himself...?"

After hearing what Shihouin Senri said, Saito, who was neither old nor dead, suddenly became interested. She was full of curiosity about Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's acquaintance. At the same time, in Saito's opinion, Yamamoto's acquaintance was probably also a balding, slovenly middle-aged man.

"Um?!"

Driven by his curiosity, Saito Immortal quietly approached Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and followed his gaze to the two people locked in fierce combat...

At this moment, one of the two people who were fighting fiercely was, just as Saito Immortal had thought before, the very person who was Uno no Yachiru!

However, what surprised Saito about her immortality was the person who was currently engaged in fierce combat with Uno no Yachiru...

That guy whom Shihōin Sennatsu speculated was an acquaintance of Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni was the reason why Saitō was so surprised by his immortality!

The other party was not bald like Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, as Saito had previously speculated!

On the contrary, the person currently fighting with Ueno Yachiru has a thick, bushy head of short black hair...

At the same time, this acquaintance of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was not a slovenly middle-aged man like Yamamoto Genryusai, but a handsome young man with a 'handsome' face and 'spirited' appearance!

Most importantly, Saito, the immortal being, knew the person fighting Uno no Yachiru at this moment; in fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was very familiar with him...

After all, the person currently fighting against Uno Yachiru is the very man that Saito, the immortal being, has been longing for all these days...

"Araki! How could you be the one who's been fighting against Yachiru Ueno all this time?!"

Saito, who was immortal, looked at the man who was fighting fiercely with Ueno Yachiri with disbelief in his eyes and exclaimed the man's name.

Chapter 10 Saito is immortal: I was here first!

"Damn it! Could it be my eyes? How could Araki possibly be fighting with that villain, Yachiru Uno, inside the Seireitei?!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Saito, who was immortal, looked at Araki, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Uno no Yachiru, and felt a sense of disbelief.

She first gently rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, then opened them as wide as possible and tried her best to look at the two people fighting fiercely in the distance.

Well, even as Saito activated his senses to their maximum, the expressions of the two people engaged in fierce combat not far away did not change!

Yes, in Saito's view, the people wielding their swords in the Seireitei as if no one else was around were still Uno no Yachiru and Araki...

At this moment, Saito finally understood why she felt a sense of both familiarity and strangeness regarding the spiritual pressure of the person fighting against Ueno Yachiru!

Because the person fighting against Uno Yachiru is none other than Araki, whom she has been waiting for in the captain's room all along!!!

"Damn it, what on earth is going on?!"

"How did Araki end up fighting with Mao?!"

"Could there be some misunderstanding between the two of them?"

"No, I have to go find Araki and get to the bottom of this!"

Saito was quite agitated. She first rubbed her throbbing temples hard with her fingers, then made a decision...

Since she couldn't figure out what had happened between Araki and Uno Yachiru, she might as well go and ask Araki for clarification!

Thinking this, Saito decided to rush forward to stop Araki and Uno Yachiru, who were engaged in a fierce battle not far away.

"Hey! Where are you going, kid!"

However, just as Saito was about to step forward, a rough, large hand grabbed her 'slender' and 'snow-white' neck from behind, forcefully pinning her to the spot. Immediately afterward, a hoarse, deep male voice filled with endless vicissitudes rang in Saito's ear.

"Damn it! Don't get in my way!"

Saito struggled desperately, but found herself unable to break free from the hand behind her. The immense force emanating from that hand felt like a mountain, pressing down on her relentlessly! This made Saito's face turn even more ashen. She vowed never to let her know who was stopping her, or she would make them pay!

"Yama, Captain-Commander Yamamoto..."

However, when Saito turned to look behind her, she froze on the spot.

Saito then completely deflated...

Yes, the person who stopped Saito from interfering with the battle between Araki and Uno Yachiru was none other than the current Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13—Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

This gradually calmed the anger that had been rising in Saito's chest. Her immortality was based on following her heart; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to achieve the immortality that her name implied...

"Captain Yamamoto, what do you mean by this?!"

Why are you stopping me?

Saito, the immortal being, slightly calmed his volatile temper and asked Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni in a low voice.

"Kid! Be patient and watch carefully!"

"Don't interfere with the battle between Araki and Uno..."

Then, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, with a flick of his wrist, tossed Saito, who was holding the immortal figure, back into the air. Saito, like a chick, was tossed back by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni…

"pat~"

With a crisp thud, Saito Immortal landed on her bottom, and she returned to the ranks of the Gotei 13 captains behind Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"..."

After throwing Saito Immortal back, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni continued to watch in silence as Araki and Uno Yachiru continued their fierce battle in the distance.

Yamamoto had no intention of explaining anything to Saito. As the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, he didn't need to explain the purpose of his actions to anyone in the 13, even if that person was the captain of another division...

"What's gotten into that old man, Shizizhai, today?!"

Saito stood up from the ground, first dusting off the dirt on his buttocks, then walked to Shihouin Senhi's side and muttered to himself.

"You really should call him that in front of Captain-Commander Yamamoto..."

Instead of coming close to me and whispering secrets~

"I think if Captain-Commander Yamamoto heard how much you respect him, he would definitely tell you the reason why."

Shihouin Sennheiser found it amusing to look at Saito, who was standing beside him in such a cautious manner.

In response, Shihouin Sennichi gently rubbed his chin and teased Saito.

"Without further ado!"

Upon hearing this, Saito's anger was reignited. Captain-Commander Yamamoto was already tolerating her...

Shihouin Senri, a mere chatterbox and the number one gossip in the Gotei 13, dares to mess with her, Saito Immortal?! What does she take Saito Immortal for?!

However, when she remembered that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, was standing quietly in front of everyone, her anger gradually subsided.

Yes, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's influence within the Gotei 13 is indeed immense!

Just by standing there, he kept those lawless killers, who were the first captains of the Gotei 13, from making any trouble...

"Haha... Don't be in such a hurry, listen to me slowly!"

"Actually, asking me about this is pointless."

"Because I'm not entirely sure of the specifics."

"In fact, it's not just you who's curious about the current situation."

"Even I and the other squad leaders are curious about the true identity of that guy who's fighting Uno Yachiru~"

Shihouin Senhi smiled gently as he looked at Saito, who was completely enraged by him.
