Chapter 125: Kenpachi’s past, Squad Zero recruits new members!

"Is it intense?"

Unlike others, Kirinji Tenshiro did not call Unohana by her surname, but called her by her name.

Then, his eyes fell on Xia Mu again, "I didn't expect that you, Kenpachi, would actually learn Kaido from Retsu. Kaido should be difficult to learn."

"Although Kaido doesn't have the destructive power of Hado or the powerful auxiliary ability of Fudo, it is indeed a very useful ghost technique for me. After mastering Kaido, even if I get injured on the battlefield, I don't have to wait for the rescue of the Fourth Division. I can save those seriously injured and dying team members by myself."

"Is that so? You, Kenpachi, really surprise me."

Kirinji Tenshiro is a very compassionate person. If he were not a compassionate person, he would not have been able to create medical skills and the way of Hui. Before him, the world of the god of death was only about killing and no salvation. After him, the world of the god of death, although it was still dominated by killing, there were some ways of salvation besides killing.

In the anime, when Kirinji Tenshiro came to Soul Society, the first thing he expressed was dissatisfaction with Unohana Retsu for not being able to rescue many Shinigami in time when the Invisible Empire invaded.

This is a person who cares a lot about life and hates death.

Kenpachi, who was supposed to be dedicated to killing, actually took the initiative to learn the means of redemption.

This is naturally a surprising thing.

As for the first swordsman, Hana Retsu, he also learned Kaido and is now the captain of the 4th Division.

As the person who once taught Unohana Retsu medicine and Kaido, Kirinji Tenshiro knew very well that the other party's purpose of learning medicine was not to save people, but to fight more happily with the help of medical skills.

"Are you familiar with Kenpachi Kuriyashiki?" Natsuki asked Kirinji Tenshiro another question.

In the other party's previous words, he heard the name of the seventh generation Kenpachi.

"We have had some interactions and drank together before." Kirinji Tianshilang did not hide it. "He is a very powerful person. I once invited him to join us, but he refused."

"But if you think about it, it's a good thing he refused."

"After all, the promotion conditions in our place are not just about being strong. Kuriyashiki is not yet able to meet the promotion standards."

"If I remember correctly, coming down from there is a very troublesome thing. How could you drink with Kuriyashiki?" Xia Mu was surprised by this.

Kirinji Tianshilang's words answered some of the questions in his mind.

It was pretty much what he had guessed.

The invitation of Kenpachi Kuryashiki to the Zero Squad was just a verbal joke and did not mean that Kenpachi Kuryashiki really met the criteria for promotion to the Zero Squad.

After all, according to what is described in the anime.

In order to be promoted to Squad Zero, one must create something of great significance to Soul Society.

To put it simply, it means that they have influenced the course of history and are the creators of the era.

In comparison, the strength of one's ability is indeed not that important.

After being promoted to Squad Zero, every member's body and bones will be baptized by the power of the Soul King and shaped into a King Key.

The power of the Spirit King is an incomparably powerful force.

Even if you are weak, after being baptized by that kind of power, you will definitely become a strong person.

"Normally speaking, coming down from there is indeed a very troublesome thing. It's better to come down. If you want to go back, you must rely on the help of some things. But if you just want to go to other worlds for a short time, you can still do it."

"We have a special gate that allows us to travel to any place in Soul Society, the real world, or Hueco Mundo. However, we don't travel in real body. You can think of it as condensing spirit particles to create a projection. When the time comes, the projection will dissipate."

“So, in the past, when I drank with Kuriyashiki, I couldn’t really taste the flavor.”

Kirinji Tianshilang explained to Xia Mu.

If it were an ordinary person, there would of course be no need for explanation.

But Natsuki is different. He is the captain of the Gotei 13 and is qualified to know a lot about the Zero Squad. If Natsuki creates something meaningful one day, he can be promoted to the Zero Squad and become their companion.

However, among the current Gotei 13, the one most likely to meet the conditions for promotion should be Squad 12.

Shutara Senjumaru was from the Seireitei Research Institute.

Now the Soul Society Research Institute has been incorporated into the 12th Division, so Kirinji Tenshiro was not surprised that the captain of the 12th Division, Hikifune Kiryu, had come up with something new and met the conditions for promotion.

"By the way, I still don't know your name."

After some small talk, Kirinji Tianshilang asked Xia Mu.

This time, after finally coming down from above, he did not directly follow Shutara Senjumaru to find Hikifune Kiryu.

Shutara Senjumaru knows Hikifune Kiryu, so she can do this alone.

Compared to recruiting new companions.

Kirinji Tenshiro prefers to wander around Soul Society.

Many years ago, he had wanted to use the "Transcendental Gate" to project himself into Soul Society, but later, after learning that Kuriyashiki was dead, he gradually gave up on this idea.

If you are serious, then he is an old friend.

But for some reason, Qilinji Tianshilang had no intention of reminiscing with the other party.

Today, it was discovered that the Shinigami of the 11th Division were fighting here. Their fighting style was completely different from the past, with almost no casualties. Among them, there was even a captain wearing a haori, so Kirinji Tenshiro immediately became interested and sneaked into the cocktail party.

The word "Eleven" was written on the back of the haori. There was no doubt that this was the current Kenpachi. "My name is Natsuki, I am the eleventh generation Kenpachi!"

Xia Mu said to Qilinji Tianshilang.

"Is it already the eleventh generation?" Qilin Temple Tian Shilang was a little surprised.

Kuriyashiki is the seventh Kenpachi.

Later, after hearing that the other party had died in battle, he used the Chaojie Gate to go down to the lower world. Originally, he was planning to meet Kenpachi who killed Kuriyashiki to see if he was a hero more powerful than Kuriyashiki.

However, I didn't expect that some subtle misunderstandings would arise.

Later, he learned that the other party had committed a serious crime and was thrown into hell.

Since then, he no longer cared about what happened in Soul Society.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Kenpachi's position has been passed to the eleventh generation.

Chatted with Kirinji Tenshiro here for a while.

Finally, the member of Team Zero left quietly.

However, after all, it was not a one-on-one meeting, and many team members still noticed this mysterious man who appeared next to their captain.

Yadomaru Lisa came over quietly.

"Captain, what was that before?"

She noticed that the clothes he was wearing were somewhat similar to the captain's haori, but there was no corresponding team number written on the back.

"You are not qualified to know about this matter yet."

Natsuki glanced at Yadomaru Lisa and said nothing more.

A hint of suspicion flashed across Lisa Yadomaru's eyes beneath her glasses, but in the end she just kept quiet and didn't say anything more.

……

Division 12.

Technology Development Bureau.

Although it was a newly established department, it was actually just a reorganization of the Seireitei Research Institute. The name was changed, the building was still the same building, and even the security system at the door, that is, the door lock, was not changed.

"Yezhou, the security here is really poor. It's still the same door lock that was left when I left."

When Kiryu Hikifune, who was conducting research, heard this, he put down his research and turned to look.

An elegant female figure appeared in her eyes.

"Director Xiuduoluo!"

Hikifune Kiryu recognized the other person.

It turned out to be Shutara Senjumaru, the former director of the Seireitei Research Institute.

Hikifune Kiryu has a lot of experience. Although she was not the captain of the first Gotei 13, she was actually working in the Seireitei Research Institute at that time. It's just that her experience was still very shallow at that time.

She had personally witnessed the heyday of the Seireitei Research Institute.

The director of the research institute at that time was the person in front of him.

The Shinigami worn by the Soul Society's Shinigami today, as well as many of the terminology and the formulation of various rules, all originated from Shutara Senjumaru.

The Soul Society's existing warning system, the "Shutara Level," is taken from the other party's surname.

"I am no longer the director of the Seireitei Research Institute. You don't have to address me that way. Moreover, when I came here, I heard that the Seireitei Research Institute had been reorganized into the Technology Development Bureau."

"You are the first director of the Technology Development Bureau."

"Hikifu, it seems that you have done a lot of things over the years. I even found Mayuri in the 12th Division. You actually let him out. Aren't you afraid that he will cause chaos?"

Urahara Kisuke met Kurotsuchi Mayuri in a maggot nest, and he rescued him because he believed that Kurotsuchi Mayuri was extremely talented.

Little did they know that Hikifune Kiryu had actually known Kurotsuchi Mayuri for a long time.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi has a lot of experience and was once a member of the Seireitei Research Institute.

It was just because his ideas were too dangerous that he was locked up in a maggot nest because he conducted crazy experiments after the former director of the research institute, Shudoraki Senjumaru, was promoted.

"Mayuri helped me a lot. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to complete the temporary soul and turn it from theory into reality."

Hikifune Kiryu said to Shutara Senjumaru.

"Temporary soul? Research related to the soul?" Shutara Senjumaru's beautiful eyes flickered. "If it's Mayuri, he can definitely help you."

As she spoke, she formally extended an invitation to Hikifune Kiryu in front of her, "Hikfune Kiryu, the things you invented are of great significance to Soul Society, enough to affect the operation of the entire world. Now, I, on behalf of the Zero Squad and in accordance with the will of the Soul King, formally extend an invitation to you."

“Would you like to join Squad Zero? Together with me, we will protect the Soul King and keep the world running?”
