Chapter 106 Extraterritoriality
"Is this a sword made from the power of the Hollow?"
"This kind of sword must never be promoted among the Gotei 13!"
After learning the reason, Captain Yamamoto seemed a little angry.
Although he would occasionally show some humanity, as the captain, for the sake of the overall situation, he had to erase these human feelings and make himself stubborn and old-fashioned. Only in this way could he treat everyone as fairly as possible.
At the same time, deep in his heart, he also has a firm commitment to the profession of Death.
In his opinion, it was heresy for the God of Death to use the power of Hollows.
He refused to use any power related to Hollows. Although there were similar research in Soul Society, he could not control those things. But for himself, he still wanted to be a pure god of death.
Although the Tapir Blade endows the God of Death with great power, Captain Yamamoto is unable to accept the existence of such a thing after learning that it was created with the power of the Hollow.
Not to mention, there are problems with this kind of knife.
"Is that so?"
Ukitake Jushiro listened to Yoruichi's story from the side. He did not pursue the analysis of the Tapir Sword to the end. He just knew the cause of death of the team members.
If what Ye Yi said was true.
The Tapir Blade is a sword made from the power of the void, and has the ability to devour spiritual energy. When the spiritual energy of the god of death is insufficient to supply the sword, it will not fall into a sealed state, but will continue to devour, devouring the body and soul of the god of death completely.
The God of Death itself needs to consume spiritual energy to use Zanpakutō.
In this state, using the Tapir Knife again will only double the consumption.
During the battle, excessive consumption of spiritual energy is common.
I'm just not sure whether my team members were devoured by the Mo Yao Knife, or their bodies were eaten by Xu.
However, it doesn't matter anymore.
The important thing is that the Tapir Sword is no longer suitable for promotion in the Gotei 13.
"Captain?"
Although he had studied with the captain-general before, and even called him "teacher" in private, now that they were at work, Ukitake chose to address him by his title.
"I will take care of this matter."
The captain-general said to Ukitake Jushiro and Yoruichi.
……
After reporting the matter to the captain, Ye Yi no longer paid attention to these matters.
Although she could send people to investigate the Xiadalu family if she wanted, she had to follow procedures to do these things. For example, the Central Office 46 issued an order to investigate the Xiadalu family.
Before an order was given, Ye Yi rarely used his privileges to conduct investigations privately.
And she also trusts the captain very much.
Since the captain said that he would resolve the matter, no matter what, this matter should have a perfect outcome.
Yoruichi didn't know that after she and Ukitake Jushiro left.
Captain Yamamoto was in a very bad mood.
He was still too careless and did not let the Shinigami of the 8th and 13th Divisions continue to try out the Tapir Sword for a while. He had previously learned from Kyōraku and Ukitake that the Tapir Sword was very practical, and he believed that the upper-class noble family of Kasumigaoji had created a very useful weapon. He thought that with the help of this weapon, the combat effectiveness of the Shinigami could be improved. He only thought that the casualty rate of the Shinigami would be greatly reduced in the future, but he neglected the essence of the problem.
There is no such easy power.
He submitted the report directly to Central Office 46.
The response from Central Room 46 was also surprisingly quick.
After confirming that there was no problem with the Tapir Sword, he directly issued an order to promote the Tapir Sword on a large scale in the Gotei 13.
Now, this order has just been issued.
He discovered that there was a problem with the Mo Yao Knife. If he reported his findings directly to the Central Office 46, wouldn't it mean that he was negligent in his previous work?
You know, the order from Central Office 46 has been issued and spread out.
If I do something like this at this time, I will not only be slapping myself in the face, but also slapping the face of Central Room 46.
If you change your mind every day, you have to give a suitable reason.
It is obviously not a suitable reason that his team members were unable to fully understand the hidden dangers of the Mo Yao Sword due to Ukitake Jushiro's negligence.
As for what Ye Yi said.
That can be considered a reason.
But the prerequisite is that you have to provide evidence?
In front of the Central Forty-sixth Room, let someone analyze the Tapir Blade and test its side effects?
This is one way.
But Captain Yamamoto always felt uneasy.
He has been in charge of the Gotei 13 for many years and has witnessed many changes in Soul Society. Therefore, he is very clear about the details of Soul Society. The Central 46 is not as fair as imagined.
But in order to maintain the extremely fragile balance of this world, the Central 46th Room, which claims to be the highest judicial body and represents justice, must exist.
Only in this way can the vast majority of people believe that the world is fair and be willing to fight to protect order and balance.
Having personally experienced the chaotic times, Captain Yamamoto longs for peace and stability in his heart. Even though there are still many evils hidden under the light, he does not mind shouldering all the darkness and evils.
He bore all the infamy by himself.
The Kasumidaru family is not just a simple manufacturer of the Tapir Sword. Their family also holds a seat in the Central Forty-Six Chambers.
Ye Yi will tell him about this matter, and the meaning is self-evident: everything must be done according to the rules.
Otherwise, if the Shihouin family really wanted to investigate the Kasumigaoji family, given the weight of the Shihouin family, they could easily do it.
But Ye Yi did not do so.
Instead, he handed the matter over to the First Squadron.
This also shows what Ye Yi meant.
She has done her best and told you that there is a problem with the Mo Yao knife. What to do next is entirely up to you. She doesn't want to be involved anymore.
Of course, these are all Captain Yamamoto's speculations.
However, he did not intend to let Yoruichi use the power of the Shihouin family to forcibly investigate the Kasumigaoji family.
He decided to solve this matter in his own way.
If we simply analyze the Tapir Sword in front of the Central 46th Room, it is very likely that the Kasumi Road family will refute it on the grounds that this is not the "Taikir Sword", so we must find more powerful evidence.
There must be relevant evidence in the workshop where the Mo Yao Knife was manufactured.
After thinking for a while, Captain Yamamoto found a few trusted subordinates.
In the First Squadron, Captain Yamamoto has a hobby, which is to teach the team members.
After all, before he became the captain-general of the Gotei 13, he was the founder of Motojijuku. Two thousand years ago, he founded a school in Soul Society and taught disciples. The current Shinō Spiritual Academy evolved from Motojijuku.
Although he no longer has any contact with the Maou Spiritual Academy, he still retains his habit of being a teacher.
Many members of the First Team have received instruction from the Captain-General and are considered his disciples.
When Ru Yue Qin Xu, the ninth seat of the first team, learned from the captain that they needed to sneak into the Kasumigaoji family's manufacturing workshop to look for evidence of the prohibited Tapir Sword, he stepped forward and took on the task.
However, although the person who carried out the task was found.
Captain Yamamoto did not directly ask Ruyue Qinxu to carry out this task.
Before that, he wanted to try to use formal channels to investigate the Xiada Road family.
Immediately, he reported the situation to the Central Room 46, saying that he felt there seemed to be something wrong with the Tapir Knife and wanted to investigate the Tapir Knife manufacturing workshop to verify the matter.
As a result, it was naturally rejected by the Central Office 46.
The Central Forty-Sixth Office refused Captain-General Yamamoto's investigation into the Kasumigaoji family on the grounds that the Gotei 13 had no authority over the affairs of the nobility and that all matters of the nobility needed to be decided by the "Gold Seal Council of the Nobles".
This is not surprising.
Today, Captain General Yamamoto investigated the Kasumigaoji family on the grounds that they might have committed a crime. Tomorrow, he might investigate other nobles.
Things like this must not be allowed to go on. If allowed to go on, it would be an abuse of power, which would mean that the power of the Gotei 13 would be infinitely increased, and would threaten the management of the Gotei 13 by the aristocratic groups such as the Central Forty-six Chambers.
"So, should we ask for help from the great nobles like Shihouin and Kuchiki, hold a meeting of the nobles, and investigate the Kasumigaoji family?"
Captain Yamamoto thought of Yoruichi's attitude before.
Give up on this matter.
Therefore, we still have to conduct the investigation secretly.
As long as solid evidence can be found, even the Central Office 46 will not say anything, after all, the evidence is conclusive.
……
In the eleventh squadron.
Xia Mu also taught the team members.
He looked down upon the power of the Mo Yao Knife, which was a useless thing in itself.
The powerful god of death cannot use it, and it will only add another burden to himself.
The weak god of death cannot even use up enough spiritual power to consume this thing, so using it is simply gambling with one's life.
Rather than relying on this kind of thing.
It is better to work hard to improve your strength through practice.
As long as your strength is strong enough, the probability of survival will increase.
The edge of the training ground.
As the vice-captain, Watanabe Yuji looked at Natsuki who was fighting with many teammates on the training ground and smiled gently.
Dozens of team members attacked Xia Mu at the same time, but Xia Mu remained calm and defeated them easily.
This undoubtedly proves Xia Mu's superb attainments in the art of killing.
He still remembers that when he was in Hueco Mundo, Xia Mu didn't even know how to hold a sword or how to swing it powerfully.
But it was also at that time that Xia Mu proved that he possessed extraordinary talent.
After several years of training, he quickly mastered all the fighting skills of the Grim Reaper from scratch and was even able to kill Killian in a head-on battle. He is a well-deserved genius.
Now, seeing the genius he once trained reach another peak and stand at the top of the Gotei 13, Watanabe Yuji couldn't help but feel proud.
The premise is that Asido's complaints urging him to handle team affairs did not ring in his ears.
