Chapter 12 The Hollows appear and the th Division attacks!

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

On this day, Watanabe Yuji took the initiative to find Natsuki.

"Seeing that you have completely adapted to the rhythm of the 11th Division and integrated into it, I don't have to worry about you anymore."

"Are you leaving?" Xia Mu seemed to know what Watanabe Yuji was here for and asked him.

"Yes." Watanabe Yuji nodded. "I came back and learned about the current situation of the Gotei 13. I am very happy that so many people I know are still alive. Now, it's time to return to the expeditionary force."

"Although Asido is very powerful, he has just arrived in Hueco Mundo and does not know the situation there. How can I, the captain of the expeditionary force, ignore him at this time?"

Xia Mu remained silent, listening quietly to what Watanabe Yuji was saying.

He had known for a long time that Watanabe Yuji would return to the expeditionary force.

The reason why Watanabe Yuji returned this time was not only to bring back several Grim Reapers whose redemption period had expired, but also to give himself, a Grim Reaper who came from a wild background, a formal background. Now that these things have been done, it is time for Watanabe Yuji to go back.

"Let me go back with you."

After thinking for a while, Xia Mu said to Watanabe Yuji.

Watanabe Yuji was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Xia Mu and smiled: "I appreciate your kindness. I know you are worried about my safety. After all, the current situation in Hueco Mundo is very complicated. But don't worry, I have been in Hueco Mundo for decades, and I am not here for nothing. If I really encounter someone I can't beat, won't I run away?"

"I don't have much confidence in my other abilities, but when it comes to flash steps, I am very confident."

Among the four abilities of Zhan Quan Zou Gui, Watanabe Yuji's most powerful one is Shunpo. Of course, his other abilities are not bad either. He is an extremely rare and balanced Shinigami who can use all four abilities skillfully, otherwise he would not be able to teach Natsuki.

Natsuki has learned a lot from Watanabe Yuji, so of course he knows this.

Watanabe Yuji then said to Natsuki, "You should just stay in Soul Society. You can grow more in the Gotei 13 than in the Expeditionary Force. You are the most talented Shinigami I have ever seen. From knowing nothing, you can now be called a strong one."

Looking at Xia Mu, he still didn't say anything.

Watanabe Yuji added, "I still want to see you become the captain and Kenpachi!"

"I won't die before that day comes!"

This sentence is actually just a pure expectation and comfort. After all, the current Kenpachi Kuriyashiki is the strongest Kenpachi. Even if Natsuki is talented and may be able to learn Bankai and become the captain in the future, it is still a luxury for him to become Kenpachi.

Of course, Xia Mu also understood the meaning of Watanabe Yuji's words, but he did not deliberately point it out. Instead, he gained confidence and said to Watanabe Yuji: "Then you just wait for that day."

……

Yuji Watanabe eventually left.

Just as he quietly returned to Soul Society, he did not cause much commotion when he left.

The situation in Hueco Mundo is special now. Before Natsuki came to Soul Society, large Hollows frequently appeared in the outer circle of Hueco Mundo. This led to the incident where Asido led a new expeditionary force to support Hueco Mundo. In this situation, as the former captain of the expeditionary force, how could Watanabe Yuji choose to escape and stay safely in Soul Society?

He is a man who desires and enjoys fighting.

Of course, he also knew the fate that fighting might bring.

So, he did not marry and remained alone.

Just to be free from worries, so that even if he died, he would not have too many regrets. Of course, that was in the past. Now, perhaps because he found Xia Mu in Hueco Mundo, he taught Xia Mu wholeheartedly and regarded Xia Mu as his disciple, so before leaving, he came to Xia Mu's side and said goodbye to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu is not a child. Before he traveled through time, he was an adult. Perhaps the lifespan of his two lives combined is not as long as that of any random god of death, but he still understood some of the meanings of Watanabe Yuji's words.

He didn't say much.

He calmly accepted the fact that Watanabe Yuji left Soul Society and returned to the Expeditionary Force.

Afterwards, Natsuki continued to work hard to adapt to life in Seireitei.

Life in the 11th Squadron was very monotonous.

Apart from fighting, sparring with companions, and honing one's own strength, the most common activity is drinking parties.

I thought Watanabe Yuji was an exception, but after getting along with him later, Xia Mu discovered that all the team members here were like Watanabe Yuji, eager to fight, not afraid of death, and in order to leave no regrets when they die, they basically choose to be alone. At this time, drinking and enjoying life today has become their favorite thing to do. Some of them don't like drinking, but under the influence of the environment over the years, only by drinking can they enjoy short-term happiness and no longer feel lonely.

But even so, Xia Mu still doesn't like drinking.

At every cocktail party, he would stay in the corner, holding a very small cup and sipping just a little.

This was of course laughed at by many members of the 11th Division, but Xia Mu didn't care.

This day.

On the outskirts of Rukongai, a huge black cavity opened up.

When the black cavity first appeared.

The Seireitei Research Institute under the 12th Division detected it and then issued a warning.

The warning was conveyed several times and then passed from the First Squadron to the Eleventh Squadron.

"Team members, a group of Hollows have appeared in Rukongai. It's time for us to attack."

In the 11th Division's barracks, Kenpachi Kuriyashiki spoke loudly to the many team members in front of him.

The fighting spirit of many team members also erupted instantly.

“Yum!”

“Yum!”

Before each battle against the invading Hollows, the 11th Division would perform a corresponding departure ceremony. After all, even if Kenpachi Kuriyashiki led the team himself, no one could tell what the battle situation would be like at that time. It was very likely that some of their companions would be killed. Therefore, under the influence of Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, all the team members would treat this battle as the last one, and at the same time, look forward to another victory.

Xia Mu mingled among the crowd.

It is worth mentioning that he has now become a chief official.

Although he has not been in the 11th Division for long, he is very strong.

When in Hueco Mundo, he could easily kill Gillian with a shallow strike.

The 11th Division is a division where the strong are respected. When Xia Mu had free time, he sparred with the team members and defeated one of the chief officers. He inexplicably became the new chief officer.
