Chapter 38 Familiar People in My Memory

This war cannot actually be called a just war.

Even eight hundred years ago, there was a deep hatred between the Quincies and the Shinigami.

But after the war, the Quincy had been quite well behaved. It was only because they hunted too many Hollows that they were killed by the Shinigami on the grounds that they had destroyed the balance of souls. It was actually quite unfair to the Quincy.

But Xia Mu had no intention of speaking up for the Quincy.

After all, his morals themselves are not so noble.

At present, he is not a so-called decision-maker, but just an executioner who follows orders.

During the years of war, many Death Gods died.

As a combat team, the 11th Division suffered extremely heavy casualties. Many people that Xia Mu was familiar with died in the battle. More new faces joined the 11th Division, some of whom were students who had just graduated from the Maou Spiritual Academy, and the other part were supplemented from the 3rd Division.

The third squad is a support team. The meaning of support is that in addition to providing support when other squads are in trouble, when necessary, when other squads are short of personnel due to combat, they will also support some of their team members to make up for the casualties.

It is also for this reason that the Third Division has the largest number of members in the entire Gotei 13. There are even situations where multiple people hold the same position. This is to deal with special situations that may arise at any time.

As the vice-captain of the 11th Division, Xia Mu actually wanted to reduce the casualties among his team members, but facing the protracted war, there was not much he could do. If the initial war was just a battle between the half-blood Quincy and ordinary Shinigami, then as the war continued to evolve, the strength of the people entering the field became stronger and stronger.

The entry of vice-captain Xia Mu is not the final form of the war.

Later on, the captain of the Gotei 13 even personally participated in the war and fought against the enemy's pure-blooded Quincy.

Gosuke, as the captain of the 11th Division, naturally led the battle.

He tried very hard, but unfortunately, he was still unable to achieve his goal.

In the war against the Quincies, he was seriously injured and had to return to Soul Society to recuperate.

It seems that Gosuke is a bit embarrassed.

But after subsequent developments, he was not the most embarrassing.

There is a captain, killed in battle!
As the captain of the Gotei 13, the probability of him dying in battle is very high.

Even though the lifespan of a god of death is very long, many souls with spiritual powers can live peacefully in Rukongai for dozens or even hundreds of years before they become gods of death. But after they truly become gods of death and become powerful, they cannot live peacefully for such a long time.

The price of having power is that the dangers you have to face are also higher.

As the captain of the Gotei 13, and as someone standing at the top of the Shinigami, he faces the greatest dangers.

Because the enemies they face are very powerful, they must fight with all their might and not slack off in the slightest. Often, a single negligence may result in the loss of their lives.

Xia Mu could only sigh at the captain's death in battle.

As one of the participants in the war, he did not always fight in the real world.

During this period, he also returned to Soul Society to recuperate for a while.

The Soul Society adopts the method of alternating rest and sending the Shinigami to annihilate the Quincies in the human world.

After returning to Soul Society, Xia Mu did not sit idle, but started practicing.

As the vice-captain of the 11th Division, unlike when he was the chief officer, because of his status, he would inevitably come into contact with the captains and vice-captains of other divisions.

Some of the captains were people he didn't know, while some were people he was familiar with. There was no need to say much about Captain Yamamoto of the First Squadron.

The captain of the second squad is called Shihouin Sora-chan, not Yoruichi in the original work. This is Yoruichi's grandfather.

The captain of the third squad was another unfamiliar person, his name was Toyama Hisanobu, but Xia Mu knew the third seat, Fengqiao Loujuro.

The captain of the subsequent 4th Division is Unohana Retsu, needless to say.

The captain of the fifth division is also an old acquaintance, Mako Hirako. She became captain at about the same time as Gosuke, only one or two years apart, so she is also considered a young captain.

However, what Natsuki cares about most is not Mako Hirako, but his vice-captain, the young Sosuke Aizen.

As for the 6th Division, the captain is Kuchiki Ginrei and the vice-captain is Kuchiki Sojun.

Two people who exist in Byakuya Kuchiki's memories are briefly mentioned in the original plot of the anime.

Among the subsequent squads, there are also many people from Xia Mu's memory. Although some of them have not yet become captains, they have also made their mark.

It can be said that the Shinigami who can become captain or vice-captain in the future are all genius Shinigami. As long as they have joined the Gotei 13, they will definitely make a name for themselves.

Even Aizen had been hiding his strength until his true identity was revealed in the original work.

His identity is at least the vice-captain of the 5th Division.

The same is true for Urahara Kisuke. Before becoming the captain of the 12th Division, he was the third seat of the 2nd Division and concurrently the captain of the third squad under the 2nd Division.

During his time in Soul Society, even though Natsuki did not take the initiative to make friends with people, these people still took the initiative to greet him. Especially some Shinigami who did not participate in the war in the real world, they were very curious about the situation in the real world. They took the initiative to come to Natsuki to ask about the battle situation, and after a while, they became old friends.

Now Xia Mu has a good relationship with the vice-captains of each team.

In the woods below the Double Killing Hill, Xia Mu's figure kept shuttling back and forth, sometimes appearing on this treetop, sometimes appearing on other treetops. He was practicing instant step here.

Flash step is the footwork that the god of death uses to move instantly.

Because of the high concentration of Reizo in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, one cannot use Shunpo to fly through the sky here like in the real world, but there are still some ways to increase the speed of Shunpo.

For example, practicing instant movement in places where it is difficult to land, such as moving between tree branches, is one way to do it.

This method of practice was told to Natsuki by Shihouin Yoruichi.

It seems to have triggered the passive skill of "Speak of the devil and he will appear".

Not long after Xia Mu started practicing, a woman's voice sounded near Xia Mu, "Xia Mu, you are really hardworking!"

Xia Mu stopped practicing instant step and his figure appeared.

Compared to a few years ago, his appearance has not changed at all.

However, the woman who appeared in front of him was very different from the one in the original novel.

The other person had the unique golden eyes of the Shifengyuan family, brown skin, and wore a specially made black Shibauri suit. The wide sleeves of the Shibauri suit were cut off, revealing the brown arms, and the legs were also trimmed. Of course, this was not the biggest difference. The biggest difference was that the other person had short hair at this time.

"Yoichi, you're here!"
