In the eyes of ordinary nobles, the five great nobles are supreme and are the highest representatives of power under the Spirit King.
But now, the head of the Shihōin family, one of the five great nobles, has become a member of the Gotei 13 and a subordinate of Yamamoto Shigekuni. This has completely refreshed their three views.
These nobles still maintained traditional ideas. No matter how powerful a person was, he had to be loyal to the nobles in order to guarantee their power. However, the arrival of Yamamoto Shigekuni directly broke this million-year monopoly.
Most of the nobles had anxious expressions on their faces, vaguely sensing that things were changing in Soul Society again.
Tsunayashiro Fuuka did bring these gifts in order to bribe Yamamoto Shigekuni, but now he knew that bribery was no longer possible.
The other person's vision and ideas are far superior to yours.
Of course, this scene was also designed by Yamabuki Haruto and Shihōin Chihiro in advance, in order to give these people a huge shock.
However, being the head of one of the five great noble families, Tsunayashiro Fuuka was no pushover. He quickly changed his tone, "I'm here to thank Mr. Yamamoto. Please allow me to meet with Captain Yamamoto."
Tsunayashiro Fuuka has her own plans, Yamamoto Shigekuni has unparalleled combat power, and it is impossible to suppress his development. The rise of the Gotei 13 is also a foregone conclusion. In this case, why not do him a favor?
The current Gotei 13 is still just a civil organization and is not officially recognized, while the Soul Society has two largest official institutions.
One is the five great nobles, and the other is the Central Forty-six Rooms.
After all, Soul Society also has its own set of laws, which cannot be disorderly, and the person who is in charge of this set of laws is the Central Forty-Six Rooms.
The Central Forty-Six Chambers is the highest authority consisting of six great sages and forty wise men. Once a decision is made, even the leaders of the major nobles cannot change it.
Only the joint signatures of the five nobles plus the order of the Spirit King can change the decision of the Central Forty-Six Chambers.
But everyone knows what the Spirit King's current condition is. He has been cut into a human stick. Not to mention giving orders, it is unknown whether he can even speak.
Without the support of the Spirit King, the power of the Central Forty-Six Chambers is superior to that of the Five Nobles.
Of course, the sages in the Central Forty-six Chambers also include people from the five great noble families. The relationship between the two sides is very complicated and cannot be explained in just a few words.
A smile appeared on Shihōin Chihiro's face. Just as the little fox had predicted, these nobles couldn't sit still and came forward on their own initiative.
"Since you said so, I will take you to meet Captain Yamamoto. Yamabuki, take these guests to the living room of the Shihōin family, where there will be people to entertain them." Shihōin Chihiro said.
"As you command, Captain Shihōin." A smile appeared on Yamabuki Haruto's lips.
He called Shihōin Chihiro "Captain" to tell these nobles that it was not you ridiculous noble lords who gave orders to me, but I was the captain of the Gotei 13.
Afterwards, he brought these nobles to the living room. The old butler of the Shihōin family was responsible for welcoming these guests, while Yamabuki Haruto came to Yamamoto's room as quickly as possible.
"Captain, people are coming." Yamabuki Haruto said.
Yamamoto nodded slightly.
At this moment, Shihōin Chihiro and Tsunayashiro Fuuka came to Yamamoto's room.
Shihōin Chihiro bowed slightly to Yamamoto, "Captain, this is the head of the Tsunayashiro family, Tsunayashiro Fuuka. He's here to thank you."
Yamamoto glanced at Tsunayashiro Fuuka nonchalantly, and the next second his spiritual pressure exploded. Tsunayashiro Fuuka felt that the person sitting in front of him was not a middle-aged man, but a volcano about to erupt. In just a moment, cold sweat soaked his whole body.
What did I do wrong? Could this man know about the shameful experiments of the Tsunayashiro family?
Tsunayashiro Fuuka even thought of the contents of the suicide note in an instant.
But Yamamoto's spiritual pressure was quickly retracted.
"If you are here to express your gratitude, you can leave now. We, the Gotei 13, were established to protect Soul Society. This is our responsibility." Yamamoto said righteously.
Tsunayashiro Fuuka hurriedly continued Yamamoto's words, "Of course. I know your ambition, to maintain the stability of Soul Society and Seireitei. However, I have something unpleasant to say, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to."
"But it's okay."
"Your original intention is indeed good, I admit it. What happened yesterday is the biggest example. If Soul Society had a dedicated force, something like what happened yesterday would not have happened! I fully support the establishment of the Gotei 13. But... you probably don't have the resources now, right?" Tsunayashiro Fuuka asked tentatively.
"Don't be angry first. The largest official organization in Soul Society is the Central Forty-Sixth Chamber. If you want the Gotei Thirteen you founded to be recognized, you must get the consent of the Central Forty-Sixth Chamber..." Tsunayashiro Fuuka stared at Yamamoto cautiously, fearing that Yamamoto would burn him directly if he was unhappy.
Indeed, most of the resources in Soul Society are now controlled by the nobles. Take the most common example, if there is no support from a great noble, there will be no source of Zanpakutō. You can't let the soldiers fight with Hollows with wooden swords!
As long as the Gotei 13 are recognized by Soul Society, they can legitimately ask for money and people.
Yamamoto pondered for a moment and said, "Go on."
"This matter will soon reach the ears of the Central Forty-Sixth Chamber, and we don't know what the Central Forty-Sixth Chamber's attitude will be. However, our Tsunayashiro family is willing to support the Gotei 13." Tsunayashiro Fuuka asked.
Yamamoto did not agree, but looked at Yamabuki Haruto, this little fox had many ideas.
"Clan leader Tsunayashiro, I'm afraid you have some requests?" asked Yamabuki Haruto.
"That's too much. How dare we? Of course, I'd be even happier if... you could reserve a captain position for us."
The real purpose is revealed.
With Yamamoto Shigekuni in charge, the rise of the Gotei 13 is a foregone conclusion. It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to place a bet in advance and tie the family's interests to the Gotei 13.
Yamamoto's face was solemn.
"Of course you can." Yamabuki Haruto smiled, "However, our method of selecting captains for the Gotei 13 is very simple. Whoever can fight best becomes the boss. As long as you are strong enough, it is not impossible to sit in the position of captain-general."
Yamamoto's expression finally softened.
He was not rejecting the nobles, he was just rejecting those incompetent losers.
"I see, that's great!" Tsunayashiro Fuuka smiled like a fox. With the strength of the five noble clan leaders, it should not be difficult for him to seize the position of captain.
Yamabuki Haruto was also laughing. You probably don't know what kind of crazy people the first generation captains were!
