"Ah... what's inside this is Tiansuo Zhanyue, right?"
The corner of his eye swept through several bubbles behind Senjumaru, and he suddenly discovered something. Nirvana took two steps forward, and looked at Ichigo's Zanpakutō that was taken by Senjumaru, and his face became a little ugly.
"Have you invaded the research laboratory? You are still doing things that look down on people as usual!"
"Oh? I was still wondering who it was, and it turned out to be Yuri. You were the one who invaded or something. You were exaggerating as usual. I just put my hand on the doorknob and he opened it easily. That's all. . Compared to when I was here, the locks are much looser!"
Senjumaru looked at Niryuri, whose face turned dark, with a bit of teasing, and his tone was full of ridicule.
"etc!!"
Looking at the members of Team Zero who were busy minding their own business, Ichigo couldn't help but say: "Since they were taken away to heal their injuries, why did I have to be taken away too? My injuries are not at all like theirs." Seriously, it can be cured by staying in the Jingling Pavilion! And there are things I have to do..."
"I know! Only you were taken away for other reasons!"
"Other reasons?"
"Ichigo! I think it would be better for you to go to the Spirit King Palace."
"Hirako?"
"Although Captain Nirvana can't repair your Zanpakutō, I think if it's Team Zero, there should be a way to repair your Zanpakutō."
"Uncle Bald, is that true?"
"This can't be done, it can't be repaired! However, Soul King Palace has the palace's unique super-spiritual techniques! Using those techniques, you can recreate a Zanpakutō that is almost the same as the original sword."
"I know! Take me to the Soul King's Palace!"

Division 8
Dong Dong—
"team leader!"
······
"I'm coming in, Captain! I'm sorry!"
"Captain! Since you are here, please respond to me properly—"
Pushing open the door to the captain's room and looking at Kyōraku Shunsui in a floral dress standing at the window, Nanao tried her best to speak in the same tone as usual.
"Xiao Qixu... we may... have to separate!"
Rarely, there was a hint of sadness in Kyoryaku Shunsui's voice as he looked at the scenery of Division 8 outside. At this time, he held a summons in his hand.
[Kyōraku Jiro Sozozo Shunsui
The person named on the right will serve as the captain of the Gotei 13th Division and the captain of the 1st Division]
"forgive me···"
······
Room 46, Central
"Accept your fate to the two vice-captains??"
An old voice came from the sage's seat above, with a hint of doubt in his tone.
If he made such an unreasonable request just after he was appointed captain, wouldn't there be more unreasonable demands in the future? Absolutely unsatisfied!
"Yes, Ouga Sanchi is in charge of the first team, and Vice Captain Ise is in charge of taking care of me. These are the jobs they are best at. Let them fulfill their supporting duties together."
"No! How can you—"
Upon hearing Jingraku Shunsui's request, the 'sage' above immediately retorted. This unreasonable request was a provocation to the authority of Room 46 of the Central Committee!
Absolutely unsatisfied!
"The appointment and dismissal of the vice-captain is in the hands of the captain of the same team! It was Room 46 that set this rule, right?"
As the sound of Jingraku's spring water fell, the room fell into a deathly silence. Looking at the silent 'Sages' Kyoryu above, there was no joy of victory at all on their faces, but instead they became more solemn. Compared to what he proposed next, the request just now was trivial.
"Then, can we continue? Your first job as captain is... to teach Zaraki Kenpachi... the slicing technique!"
"What!!"
The room instantly erupted into a noisier sound than before. The words spoken by Jingraku Shunsui caused the expressions of the 'sages' sitting above to change drastically, and waves of suppressed quarrels echoed throughout the room.
"Although Captain Kuchiki and others went to the Soul King Palace, there is no guarantee that they can return safely. Captain Zaraki's combat power is very important, and we cannot let him stay in this state!"
As if he didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the room, Kyoraku Shunsui continued to explain his reasons.
"No!"
The sage above said loudly in an almost ferocious tone.
"If his power goes even further, no one will be able to stop him if he rebels! Didn't you forget that when Genryusai wanted to teach him swordsmanship, he gave up after a day!"
"Then what are your plans?"
Compared to the sage's anger, Kyōraku Shunsui's tone remained calm, but what he said left everyone above him speechless.
"With this situation, Soul Society cannot resist the next wave of attacks! Everyone, can you protect yourselves?"
"It seems that it is approved."
After waiting for a moment, he found that the people above still raised no objections. Jingraku Shunshui turned his head slightly and looked at the door.
"Come in, I'll leave Captain Saraki's affairs to you! Captain Unohana! - No, the first generation [Kenpachi], Unohana Eight-Thousand-Ryu!"
······
At the same time, somewhere in Soul Society
Phew~
Putting down the boulder in his hand, he wiped the sweat from his cheeks and looked at the cave not far away, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"Captain Komamura, I've been in that strange cave for a long time...I don't know what's in there..."
In the dark cave, Komamura Zuozhen walked slowly. The dark environment did not cause much interference to him. After all, his body was different from ordinary people, and seeing in the dark was considered a racial talent. However, as he went deeper and deeper, a strange emotion came to his heart.
"who is it···"
An old voice sounded in the empty cave, echoing in the cave.
"Greetings after a long time, great grandfather!"
As the voice of Komamura Zuozhen fell, two green rays of light lit up in the darkness, bringing a touch of light to the dark cave. However, the dim green light added a bit more weird color to the atmosphere in the cave. .
"Is it the left formation?"
Through a ray of light, a body as big as a hill could be seen lying quietly on the ground, exuding a terrifying aura, looking at the left formation of Komamura, who was small compared to him, with undisguised disgust on his face.
"Why do you come back so shamelessly?"
Boom!
Kneeling down hard on the ground, Komamura Zuozhen looked directly at his great-great-grandfather, his eyes full of determination.
"I came here to ask my great-grandfather to teach me the secret skills of our clan!"
"Hahahahaha! It's so funny!"
Hearing what Komamura Zuozhen said, his great-grandfather suddenly burst into laughter and sneered: "We are shameless people who are ashamed of the appearance of our clan. Wearing hats and armor to pretend to be human and living in the world, shameless things, You still have the nerve to say such things!”
"Please see, I no longer wear a bamboo hat! In the past few decades, the world has changed. I firmly believe that a world where our family can go out and live together with the world is not far away! And that world is now facing a crisis. A crisis!”
"shut up!"
After interrupting Komamura Zuozhen's words, his great-grandfather looked at the younger generation in front of him with his eyes that had witnessed the changes in the world. There was wisdom in the vicissitudes of his eyes.
"Did you make something wrong! The world is not going to be destroyed, it's just that the [helmsman] of this world has changed. We will not change. No matter who controls this world, we will survive quietly."
"I just said, this kind of life will change! For the sake of our future generations, we must change!"
"What cannot be changed, there is no need to change. No matter how who controls the world, it has nothing to do with us."
"Grandpa!!"
Faced with the elder's extremely cold words, Komamura Zuozhen was emotional. There were still huge differences between the two of them, just like before.
"Don't you understand yet? Zuozhen!"
The body that had been lying down suddenly stood up straight. The aura emanating from the great grandfather of Komamura's left formation almost made it impossible for him to maintain his posture. The terrifying spiritual pressure was suppressed, but it was not released. It was only confined in the small cave. .
"I mean, don't disturb our peace! If you insist on doing this, I will crush you!"
Looking at the great grandfather in front of him, Komamura Zuozhen slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them, his eyes emitted a bright light, and his body stood up slowly but firmly, with an indomitable momentum.
“I wish I could ask for it!!”
