Seireitei.
Temporary station of Central 46.
The remaining sages looked at each other.
I don't know if this is a bad year, why are they having so much trouble? Not long ago, the Gotei 13 appeared and almost replaced them as the most powerful organization in Soul Society.
Now another crazy woman popped out, chopping anyone she saw, and more than half of the Central 46 was emptied out.
And that Yamabuki really doesn't give us any face at all!
Now this group of people is discussing countermeasures here and considering what to do next.
"This kind of behavior must not be tolerated. It's disrespectful to our Central 46 and to Soul Society. This kind of behavior must be stopped, but... it's not a bad thing that so many positions have suddenly become vacant!" said the only remaining great sage coldly.
Before he could finish his words, someone poured cold water on him.
"So what if there are so many vacancies? Now the nobles are more eager to join the Gotei 13. We were almost killed by a woman. This is the greatest shame for the Central 46! I strongly demand that the crazy woman must be executed. There must be no exceptions." The sages discussed, "And that Yamabuki actually killed members of the Central 46 in public. He didn't take us seriously at all. He must be punished, since it is a serious crime."
The fact that Unohana killed her way through the Central 46 can only be understood as their lack of strength, and they can swallow their anger for the time being. However, Yamabuki's behavior is a naked contempt for the Central 46. Look at what he said.
You actually said that such an important position can be replaced by anyone?
Are you kidding?
Every person who can sit here has a big family behind him. Can this be achieved just by saying so?
Do these peasants understand the nobility of their bloodline?
"Why don't we find someone to assassinate him!" said a smart man.
As soon as he said this, others looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"How about I give you a knife and you go and assassinate Yamabuki tonight?" the great sage said coldly.
Now they all know what level of strength Unohana has!
And Yamabuki defeated Unohana head-on.
Assassination?
Yamamoto hasn't come back yet. If we dare to take action tonight, according to the character of that madman Yamabuki , our heads will be lined up in a row the next day!
Just when they were racking their brains to find a solution, one of their men ran in hurriedly.
"My Lords, Yamamoto is back."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the news.
Finally someone can punish Yamabuki arrived .
"I have an idea. We can put pressure on Yamamoto to punish Yamabuki, who dared to kill a member of the Central 46. This is an unforgivable crime, not to mention breaking the law while enforcing it, which is an even greater crime! Even if Yamamoto can't find a reason to start with, we can use this as an excuse to have the Gotei 13 expel Yamabuki. As long as he is no longer a member of the Gotei 13, we have the final say on whether he can be flattened or rounded up, right?" The great sage found a brilliant idea.
"You are truly a great sage! You are so smart! Let's go and file a complaint now!"
"Yes, let's go and file a complaint now."
This group of people are like hooligans who were beaten up by a naughty kid. Since they can't beat the kid, they can only complain to the kid's parents.
This is the best solution they can think of.
…
Yamabuki and Chojiro came to the first squadron's barracks, where Yamamoto was standing with a gloomy face. As soon as Yamabuki saw the captain's face, he knew that the captain was angry, so he better just kept his mouth shut.
"Captain, are you looking for me?" Yamabuki asked in a low voice.
"Bang!" Yamamoto slammed the ground hard with his scabbard. "The impact is extremely bad! Yamabuki , before I left, I gave you the job of protecting Seireitei. Look at what Seireitei has become ,it was dismantled."
Yamabuki stood obediently below, but his eyes were glancing around dishonestly. He found that in addition to the captains, there was also an old man present, who was a member of the Central 46.
It turns out someone has filed a complaint!
"Not only that, Lord Yamamoto, but Yamabuki also killed members of the Central 46 in public and made irresponsible remarks. His crime is unforgivable! I suggest that he be expelled from the Gotei 13 immediately. After all, the purpose of the Gotei 13 is to protect the Soul Society, and such dangerous people should not be hired." The sage shouted harshly. At this moment he had occupied the moral high ground and could criticize Yamabuki to his heart's content.
Yamamoto looked at Yamabuki coldly: "There is such a thing?"
Too many people had seen Yamabuki kill people, so it was too late for him to deny it. He could only bite the bullet and say, "It was purely an accidental injury!"
"You are talking nonsense! You chopped off a person's head with such a big knife? You call that an accidental injury? You definitely killed someone intentionally, and the person you killed was an important member of the Central 46. You should be sentenced to death." The sage shouted righteously.
"Yamabuki , so you admit to the murder?" Yamamoto asked.
Yamabuki could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes , admit it."
"In that case, then I must punish you..." Yamamoto gently closed his eyes.
"Sir Yamamoto, this maniac must be executed to convince the people..." Before the sage could finish his words, the most suffocating Reiatsu erupted from Yamamoto's body.
"Hey, no matter how powerful the Central 46 is, it cannot control the internal affairs of the Gotei 13. I will naturally make a very fair judgment. It is not your turn to point fingers." Yamamoto glanced at the sage with the corner of his eye. The sage felt that his whole body was about to be melted by this violent and hot Reiatsu, and he dared not utter another word.
"Yamabuki. You killed a member of the Central 46 in public and made irresponsible remarks. This crime is unforgivable. However, considering your contribution to the protection of the court, I order you to write a letter of apology and make a public apology. In addition, the buildings around the Central 46 are severely damaged. I will fine you half a year's salary to repair the damaged buildings. Do you think this makes sense?" Yamamoto asked with narrowed eyes.
"Captain...Captain, isn't it too harsh to deduct half a year's salary? I haven't received a single day's salary since I started working..." Yamabuki said with a bitter face. He felt like his world was crashing down. Why is it so hard for him to get his salary?
"Bang!" Yamamoto's scabbard hit the ground heavily again: "Stop talking nonsense. You still don't accept the punishment."
The sage next to him was confused. It's over? Is this the end? Really, what the hell?!
That was publicly beheading a member of Soul Society's highest authority. A letter of self-reflection and a public apology?
Are you fucking kidding me?
If it were anyone else, he would die ten times!
It's a cover-up! This is obviously a cover-up! I don't accept it!
"What? Are you dissatisfied with my judgment?" Yamamoto, as if feeling someone's objections, asked with narrowed eyes.
"How could that be? It's so fair. The Chief of Staff has made great contributions to protecting the Seireitei. I can't thank him enough... or... how about just exempting him from punishment?" said the sage with a sad face. He had many complaints but didn't have the courage to say it.
