Death: Captain Millennium

"The second thing! Aizen and Ichimaru Gin killed all the sages of the Forty-Sixth Chamber. The Forty-Sixth Chamber has now lost its decision-maker. Captains, please express your opinions on whether to rebuild the Forty-Sixth Chamber."

Captain Yamamoto took the opportunity to raise this question.

This is the highlight! The captains below all straightened their bodies, and for a moment no one expressed an opinion. After all, this matter concerned the Gotei 13 and even the entire Soul Society. Should the power in the future be controlled by the 13 or returned to the nobles again?

The conference room was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly.

There was a long silence, and no one expressed any opinion.

"I believe that rebuilding Section 46 is unnecessary! The affairs of the Gotei 13 and Soul Society should be handled by us, Section 13. How can Section 46 dictate to us? I propose that Section 46 be permanently abolished."

It was Lin Yu who stood up again. He quickly got into the role. It was he who allowed Aizen to kill all the sages of the Forty-sixth Chamber. Now he was the first one to disagree with the discussion of rebuilding the Forty-sixth Chamber.

Lin Yu's words surprised everyone. They first looked at him, then looked at the captain above, and each of them had their own thoughts.

"I agree to close Room 46!"

Kenpachi Zaraki, a straightforward man who only knew how to fight, was the first to express his opinion. He was too lazy to think about such things. Since the strongest person had proposed it, he just agreed.

"I agree with Captain Lin Yu's proposal to abolish Room 46!"

Just after Kenpachi Zaraki expressed his opinion, Komamura Daigou, Lin Yu's number one fan, took the lead and supported Lin Yu's proposal without hesitation.

With the beginnings set by Kenpachi Zaraki and Daigoku, the remaining captains can no longer sit idly by.

"I agree!"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri didn't have any opinion on this matter. He was not a noble. Lin Yu's proposal greatly increased the voice of the Gotei 13. This was a good thing for him that would make a lot of money.

"I agree!"

Unohana was originally from the same trench with the captain, Lin Yu and others, and was also an original member of the Gotei 13, so she had a lot of say. The most important thing was that Unohana had not established a family.

After Unohana expressed her opinion, the entire conference room seemed to have pressed the mute button and instantly fell into a brief and solemn silence.

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one had the courage to be the first to break the suffocating silence. It seemed that everyone had their own unspeakable thoughts and concerns in their hearts.

However, the silence did not last long, and suddenly an unquestionable voice sounded.

"I object!"

The sound was like a thunder that split the sky, causing everyone's eyes to involuntarily focus on the source of the sound, which was none other than Byakuya Kuchiki, one of the captains of the Gotei 13.

You must know that Byakuya Kuchiki is not just the captain of the Gotei 13. The Kuchiki family behind him represents the ancient aristocratic power that has been passed down in Soul Society for a long time.

For such a powerful person, he naturally has sufficient reasons to oppose this decision that may affect the fundamental interests of the nobles.

After all, abolishing the Forty-Six Chambers is by no means a trivial matter; it involves the core interests of the entire aristocratic class.

After Kuchiki Byakuya stated his stance, it was as if a chain reaction was triggered. Several other people who were also from noble families or had close ties to them followed suit and shouted out, "I object too!"

First came Soi Fong, her gentle yet commanding voice echoing throughout the conference room.

Then Kyoraku Shunsui's slightly lazy yet powerful tone joined in.

In the end, even the usually calm and gentle Ukitake Jushiro expressed his opposition without hesitation.

For a moment, the originally quiet meeting room suddenly became noisy, with various voices of opposition rising one after another.

At this point, Teams 1, 4, 7, 9, 11, and 12 all expressed their approval, while Teams 2, 6, 8, and 13 were opposed. This made the ratio between the two teams clear at six to four.

"Captain Hitsugaya! You're the only one who hasn't made a clear statement yet. I wonder what you think...?"

Captain Yamamoto looked at Toushirou who had not spoken yet. His vote played a crucial role at the moment.

Instantly, all the captains' eyes were focused on Toushirou. This sudden attention made Toushirou, who was already a little nervous, even more at a loss.

After all, he's just a kid! Despite being the captain, he lacks experience and ability to judge things, as evidenced by the fact that he was easily deceived by Aizen and Ichimaru Gin.

Faced with such a major decision-making issue, it is really too much to ask him to give a definite answer immediately.

Dong Shilang hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "I reserve my opinion for now. I neither agree nor disagree."

Obviously, he chose a relatively safe compromise that would not offend either side. After all, the votes for and against were already six to four, so even if he remained neutral, it would not have much impact on the overall situation.

Just as Captain Yamamoto was about to announce the adoption of the resolution, Byakuya Kuchiki raised another objection.

"Captain, the captain positions for Divisions 3 and 5 are currently vacant. I think we should discuss this matter later."

Kuchiki Byakuya's opinion was very reasonable, and Lin Yu and the others could not find any reason to object.

Captain Yamamoto frowned and pondered for a moment, thinking to himself: If I ignore everyone's opinions and force this resolution through, the consequences will be disastrous. The Gotei 13 have always relied on unity to resist foreign enemies and maintain peace and tranquility in Soul Society.

But now, if this resolution leads to internal rifts and conflicts, the combat effectiveness of the entire team will be greatly reduced! Thinking of this, Captain Yamamoto couldn't help but sigh softly.

At this moment, everyone present turned their attention to Lin Yu, who was standing aside. They all knew that in the previous battle, Lin Yu had displayed astonishing strength. His fighting power was so high that even if Bai Zai and others attacked together, they would probably not be able to defeat him.

So everyone is eager to know what Lin Yu’s attitude is towards the thorny issue of whether to close Room 46.

"Why are you all staring at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?"

Lin Yu, who was being stared at by everyone, felt a little puzzled. He touched his face, feeling a little embarrassed.

Although Lin Yu was well aware of his own strength, he was not willing to use force to force things forward. After all, in the martial arts world, one must rely on more than just fists; more often than not, one must use wisdom to handle various complex interpersonal relationships and affairs.

As the saying goes, the underworld is not all about fighting and killing; the human relationships and social skills are equally important. If force is rashly used today because of this incident, it will set a bad precedent and may trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions.

Therefore, for Lin Yu, being able to properly resolve the current problem without using force is undoubtedly the best option.

"Captain Kuchiki's suggestion is reasonable. Let's discuss this issue after the captain is fully staffed."

Lin Yu's words made Bai Zai and the others feel relieved. They were really afraid that Lin Yu would insist on passing the resolution despite opposition.

"Then let's follow Captain Lin Yu's suggestion and discuss this matter later."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Since Lin Yu has expressed his opinion, Captain Yamamoto no longer dwells on this issue. Anyway, it was Lin Yu who proposed this matter in the first place. If he doesn't insist on it, it means that he must have thought of other solutions.
