Yamamoto Genryusai was practicing calligraphy in his room. He felt very empty during this period. He originally thought that his life after establishing the Gotei 13 would be very busy. But he didn't expect that all he had to do every day was drink tea and practice calligraphy, and everyone's opportunities became fewer.
Everything he could think of and temporarily couldn't think of, Yamabuki had already thought of for him, and was implementing it step by step.
Just as he finished writing and was drinking tea, a heartbreaking sound came: "Captain Commander, help!"
Hmm? Did this Old Man just hear things?
Wasn't Yamabuki out on a mission?
Why do I hear him calling for help?
Never mind, I'll ignore it. Continue drinking tea.
Yamabuki was chased to exhaustion. Why wasn't the Old Man coming out yet? If he didn't come out soon, his Vice Captain would be hacked to death!
Yamabuki seized the opportunity and used Shunpo to rush into the Old Man's room. Yamamoto was leisurely drinking tea there when he saw his Vice Captain rush in like a beggar, collapsing to the ground with a puff, gasping for breath.
Yamamoto looked at his Vice Captain with a strange gaze. How did he get so disheveled on a mission?
Then, Batsu'unsai Katori rushed in, holding her sword.
So they were fighting! That's understandable!
"You stop right there! How dare you lie to me!" Batsu'unsai Katori pointed her sword at Yamabuki.
"Big sister, aren't you missing the point? Wasn't your initial goal to kill me to silence me?" Yamabuki wailed. Your words make me sound like a heartless man who deceived a young girl.
Sure enough, Yamamoto's gaze towards him became even stranger.
"Captain Commander, listen to my explanation, it's not what you think… Ahhh! Help!" Yamabuki hadn't finished speaking when Batsu'unsai Katori already brought her sword down.
Yamamoto Genryusai, you've changed! You actually watched me get hacked and did nothing! You're no longer my good Captain! You're no longer my lifelong good brother!
Yamamoto took a sip from his teacup. Youth is truly wonderful! Full of vitality! Yamabuki is really something, what's so bad about lying? He just had to lie to a girl! Now look, she's coming to kill him with a sword, right? A wise judge cannot settle a family dispute. I'd better pretend I didn't see anything!
"Captain Commander…"
"Yamabuki, as someone who has been there, I advise you, if you are a man, you must take responsibility." Yamamoto said with a solemn expression.
"Take responsibility? Take my foot!" Yamabuki dodged the incoming sword while shouting, "You don't even know what happened! Just help me hold down that madwoman!"
"Yamabuki, that's where you're wrong. How can I interfere in such matters? You have to resolve it yourself!" Yamamoto said, shaking his head, and then he lowered his head, pretending to savor his tea.
Batsu'unsai Katori swung her naginata with one hand, sweeping it across with the force of a thousand armies. Yamabuki, with no other choice, could only leap onto the rooftop. Batsu'unsai Katori followed him onto the rooftop and then brought her sword down.
"Wait a minute… you two, don't fight here. This is my room…"
"Boom!!!"
Under Batsu'unsai Katori's relentless efforts, half the house collapsed.
Yamamoto held his chipped teacup, veins throbbing on his forehead.
"You two brats… calm down!"
Boom!!!
Terrifying spiritual pressure erupted.
A minute later, Yamabuki and Batsu'unsai Katori were kneeling obediently in the ruins.
Yamabuki quickly recounted the entire incident. Yamamoto tried hard not to laugh out loud. How could you encounter everything? You're too unlucky, kid!
However…
Yamamoto looked at Batsu'unsai Katori. This girl was indeed powerful. Her raw strength was no less than Saitō Furōfushi's. If she could be absorbed into the Gotei 13, she would definitely be a great asset.
"Katori, I generally understand your situation. You like slaughter, but the education you received since childhood doesn't allow you to do that. Hmph, what is education? The ultimate goal of education is to cultivate talent, not to restrain people. If so-called education is used to shackle a person's nature and talent, then that kind of education is the most worthless thing in the world. Katori, I have seen your talent and strength. Abandon those useless things. Join our Gotei 13, and you can fully unleash your nature." Yamamoto said solemnly.
Batsu'unsai Katori secretly looked at Yamamoto. During the battle just now, this uncle fought her naginata empty-handed and knocked her out in thirty seconds. She couldn't win, she couldn't win!
And what this uncle said made sense.
The desire for battle and slaughter was her nature. Why should she use the so-called "education" she received later in life to restrict her nature and talent?
Batsu'unsai Katori nodded happily. If you can't beat them, join them. Isn't that normal?
Yamabuki looked at Yamamoto with a shocked expression, as he effortlessly persuaded Batsu'unsai Katori.
So that's how it is!
If you can't beat your opponent, don't expect them to sit down and reason with you.
Sure enough, no matter in which world, to gain the right to speak, one must possess absolute strength.
He had to continuously improve his strength.
"Oh, by the way, Captain, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. We found a large number of bodies in Caolu District, all with knife wounds. I suspect someone is causing trouble in Rukongai. Should we send someone to investigate?" Yamabuki asked.
"No need." Yamamoto directly refused: "We don't have enough manpower to deal with those trivial matters right now. As long as the other party doesn't go too far, we can turn a blind eye for now."
Yamabuki was not surprised by this answer. Ordinary residents of Rukongai were not considered lives by the Soul Society at all; they were more like tools used to maintain the balance of the Three Realms.
During the Thousand-Year Blood War, due to the rise of the Quincy, a large number of Hollows in the Human World were slaughtered.
Nemu Kurotsuchi, in order to maintain the balance between the Soul Society and the Human World, directly killed twenty-six thousand people without authorization.
And although Captain-Commander Yamamoto reprimanded Nemu Kurotsuchi after he found out, he did not impose any substantial punishment.
In other words, he tacitly approved of this matter.
Yamamoto from a thousand years ago was even more ruthless. Let alone those ordinary Rukongai residents, at necessary times, he could even abandon comrades he had been with day and night.
It was precisely because of this ruthlessness and decisiveness that he was able to suppress the Three Realms and protect the Soul Society for a thousand years of peace.
Although Yamabuki felt some regret in his heart, this was the Captain Commander's decision, and he couldn't say anything.
He didn't even know that the culprit of that massacre was silently approaching Seireitei.
"You two go and rest first. We'll call you when something comes up." Yamamoto said.
Yamabuki took Batsu'unsai Katori to the resting place. He finally subdued this madwoman!
