Chapter 74: Heading to Hueco Mundo
This reason is well-founded.

No one can find fault with it.

After hearing what Xia Mu said, the other captains did not express any objection.

In other words, they couldn't find any reason to object.

This time, Captain-General Yamamoto convened a captains' meeting and said such words, which meant that, no matter what, they had to send people to Hueco Mundo. Only in this way could they find out the truth about the Hueco Mundo incident.

If even Kenpachi is not capable of doing this, then there is really no one more suitable to do such a thing.

"Since Captain Xia Mu has volunteered to go to Hueco Mundo, the first candidate can be confirmed. Do the other captains have any other ideas? If so, please feel free to bring them up."

Hearing this, the captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, wanted to speak.

Although he is usually a cynical person, he is still very reliable at critical moments.

Captain-General Yamamoto is so cautious about the affairs of Hueco Mundo.

Of course, he also realized that the things happening in Hueco Mundo were unusual. As the captain of the Eighth Division, collecting intelligence was his duty. He also planned to recommend himself and go to Hueco Mundo with Natsuki.

Just when he was about to speak.

A gentle voice suddenly sounded, "Let me go with Captain Xia Mu!"

As a result, everyone's eyes fell on the woman who was speaking.

There are female captains in the Gotei 13. Although there are not many of them, the two current female captains are both extremely remarkable. They have rich experience and outstanding strength.

The two female captains are Unohana Retsu, the captain of the 4th Division, and Hikifune Kiryu, the captain of the 12th Division.

The one who spoke at this moment was the captain of the Fourth Division, Unohana Retsu.

No one expected that this female captain, who usually seemed to be at peace with the world, would take the initiative to stand up at this time.

Unohana Retsu also gave his own reasons.

"The situation in Hueco Mundo is complicated, and the expeditionary force is almost wiped out. Even if Natsuki Kenpachi is quite powerful, he is likely to get hurt if he goes to Hueco Mundo."

"I, a doctor, will follow him. I may not be able to help him share the battle mission, but at least I can treat him as soon as he is injured."

Some captains who had less experience and didn't know Unohana Retsu's background didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

However, some captains who knew Unohana Retsu's background looked strange after hearing this.

Even you can't help share the combat missions. How many captains among the Gotei 13 can share the combat missions?
What Captain Yamamoto cared about was the way Unohana Retsu addressed Natsuki.

"Kenpachi!"

Here, they all call Natsuki "Captain Natsuki", except Unohana Retsu, who calls Natsuki "Kengpachi".

This means that although Unohana Retsu is the captain of the 4th Division, he still cares a lot about the 11th Division and Kenpachi.

Thoughts flowed, although Captain Yamamoto didn't know what the other party was thinking, he still chose to respect the decision of his old friend, "Then Captain Natsuki and Captain Unohana will go to Hueco Mundo to investigate the cause of the change in Hueco Mundo."

"Other captains, if you have suitable candidates, you can also recommend them!"

The captains' meeting was held only to determine the person who would lead the team into the Hueco Mundo.

Now that Natsuki and Unohana Retsu have both stepped forward, it is enough for the two captains to lead the team to Hueco Mundo.

If there are not enough people at that time, we can provide support in time.

The most important reason at the moment is to find out what happened in the Hueco Mundo.

Of course, the two captains are just the leaders of the team, and they also need to select some suitable death gods to serve as their entourage.

Many captains started a discussion.

Finally, some candidates were confirmed. First, the captain of the 5th Division, Mako Hirako, also gave his reasons.

The 5th Division is a rescue team. The Hueco Mundo expeditionary force suffered heavy casualties, so they should participate in this rescue operation. Since two captains have already volunteered to step forward, it would not be appropriate for him to go to Hueco Mundo again, so he decided to let his deputy captain participate in this operation on his behalf.

There is nothing wrong with what he said.

But to Xia Mu's ears, it sounded very problematic.

The problem is not with Mako Hirako, but with the vice-captain of the 5th Division, Sosuke Aizen.

Although Natsuki was not too wary of Aizen, if possible, he did not really want to travel with someone like Aizen.

So, after Hirako Mako said this, before Captain-General Yamamoto agreed, Natsuki gave a reason, "Two captains going to Hueco Mundo is already a bit excessive. I think there is no need to send too many people."

"After all, the current situation in Hueco Mundo is unclear. If there are too many people, it will be inconvenient to act."

"For now, Captain Unohana and I will go to Hueco Mundo."

"If the situation is really bad, we will immediately ask for help from Soul Society. Then, you can send more Shinigami to support us."

"I am also aware of Vice Captain Aizen's strength, but for now, it is better for us to keep him in Soul Society. After all, we cannot focus all our attention on Hueco Mundo and ignore Soul Society."

Xia Mu's words made many captains fall into deep thought again.

Of course, Xia Mu also knew that the person who really played a decisive role was Captain Yamamoto.

So, how to convince Captain Yamamoto?

He decided to adopt a roundabout way to save the country.

Natsuki looked at Unohana Retsu.

Unohana Retsu felt Natsuki's gaze. Although he didn't understand why Natsuki resisted Aizen from following them to Hueco Mundo, he still spoke and said to Captain Yamamoto: "What Natsuki Kenpachi said makes sense."

Unohana Retsu said so.

That's how it was settled.

The captains' meeting ended here, and finally, it was decided that captains Natsuki and Unohana Retsu would go to Hueco Mundo to investigate the situation in Hueco Mundo. If they found anything wrong, they would immediately report the information back to Soul Society, which would facilitate reinforcements.

Afterwards, returning to the 11th Squadron.

Xia Mu arranged the work of the 11th Division and said that he would go to the Hueco Mundo to carry out a mission.

The affairs of the squad are temporarily handed over to the third seat Akagi Ryosuke.

As for Akagi Ryosuke, he won’t be able to handle it?

That has nothing to do with Xia Mu.

Who says the other party is the third seat? He must assume corresponding responsibilities.

Soon, Xia Mu's preparations were completed, and Unohana Retsu's preparations were also completed.

The two of them came to the 12th Division again.

With the help of the captain of the 12th Division, Hikifune Kiryu, the passage to Hueco Mundo was quickly opened.

There is no fixed gate to Hueco Mundo.

After all, the situation over there is very complicated, so every time, special instruments are used to open the black cavity to facilitate travel.
