"This incident has served as a wake-up call for us. Sometimes, enemies don't just come from outside; there might be many hidden dangers within the Seireitei itself."
"If the Gotei 13 cannot react in time when an accident occurs within the Seireitei, it could lead to a major disaster, and even cause instability in the court."
"Therefore, for the second matter, the Old Man has decided to establish a Special Forces responsible for the daily defense of the Noble District and noble territories."
Yamamoto tapped the ground with his cane, and the Captains' hearts trembled.
This would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar.
Previously, when the Gotei 13 proposed deploying surveillance bugs within the Seireitei, they were met with fierce opposition from the nobles.
Though they appeared glamorous on the surface, they had many dirty secrets hidden away, and naturally, they wouldn't want those things exposed to the light.
Therefore, the surveillance area actually only covered the Gotei 13's Squad Barracks, which was the fundamental reason why the Gotei 13 did not react to the Tsunayashiro Family's attack this time.
If the surveillance could have been installed at the Tsunayashiro Family's doorstep, even without requesting assistance, the Gotei 13 would have definitely detected the anomaly if something had happened.
"The nobles won't agree, will they?" Jūshirō Ukitake asked in a low voice.
"This time, they must agree. The Old Man does not wish for anything that threatens the safety of the Seireitei to happen right under our noses, while we remain ignorant and powerless."
Yamamoto said coldly, his strong words carrying an undeniable meaning.
Everyone fell silent.
No one's belief in protecting the world was more steadfast than this Old Man's.
This Old Man could have stood at the pinnacle of the world, a monstrous entity with the power to act as he pleased, but for the sake of this world, he willingly placed himself beneath a group of powerful figures he himself disdained.
But when those "powerful figures" whom he personally elevated to high positions threaten the world, he will never show mercy!
"What Teacher wants to do now, he can certainly achieve," Aozaki Reiji said. "Just tell us directly how you want to proceed."
If Yamamoto wanted to form such a force, the nobles couldn't stop him.
Even setting aside strength, the Tsunayashiro Family was nearly wiped out, their family power had declined, and without family support, the few Sages and Judges of Central 46 couldn't cause any trouble.
Of the remaining Four Great Noble Houses, the Kuchiki Family and the Shihōin Family were staunch supporters of the Old Man, the Shiba Family was in Rukongai, far from the center of power, and the Yomotsuki Family was not interested in power.
The remaining minor nobles were not worth worrying about.
If the Old Man wanted to form a unit responsible for security and vigilance, Central 46 would not only not object but might even strongly support it.
"Vice-Captain Iba!" Captain-Commander Yamamoto called out.
"Present, Captain-Commander," Vice-Captain Chikane Iba responded with a slight nod.
"The Old Man heard that Third Seat Rojuro Otoribashi of the Third Division has already mastered Bankai. Is this true?" Captain-Commander Yamamoto asked with a serious expression.
"To answer the Captain-Commander, Captain Aizen and I can both confirm that Third Seat Rojuro Otoribashi has indeed mastered Bankai," Vice-Captain Chikane Iba replied respectfully.
"Hmm… In that case, after the meeting, you should have Rojuro Otoribashi come to the First Division. Once the Old Man confirms it, he will be officially appointed as the Captain of the First Division's Special Security Force."
Captain-Commander Yamamoto nodded, speaking in a calm tone, "As for the Squad members of the Special Security Force, the Old Man will select suitable candidates from each Squad."
"That is all."
"Oh my, the Tsunayashiro Family was really unlucky this time. The Hollowfication experiment is truly dangerous," Yoruichi said enthusiastically as she walked out, linking her arm with Aozaki Reiji.
Unohana, who was following behind them, smiled and said nothing.
Since the first prolonged battle, Unohana had never again been at loggerheads with Yoruichi; instead, she exuded a sense of composure, as if she had placed herself in a higher position.
That aura even made the carefree Yoruichi feel a little uneasy.
"Hollowfication is indeed very dangerous. I remember some people are also conducting such dangerous experiments, aren't they, Kisuke?"
Aozaki Reiji, who loved to stir up trouble, said meaningfully.
"Oh, how would I know? I never touch such dangerous things!"
Urahara Kisuke hurriedly waved his hands, cautiously looking back at the meeting room behind him.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yamamoto chatting with Kyōraku Shunsui.
"Really? But didn't you ask me for help with a Hollow…"
Aozaki Reiji hadn't finished speaking when Urahara Kisuke covered his mouth.
"My dear ancestor, can you say less? Do you really want the Captain-Commander to kill me?"
Urahara Kisuke was on the verge of tears.
Didn't he see how dark Yamamoto's face got when he heard the word "Hollowfication" during the meeting?
This was absolutely not something to be brought up in front of the Captain-Commander right now.
If the Captain-Commander knew he had developed something that could Hollowfy, he might not kill him out of consideration for Aozaki Reiji, but he would definitely have to suffer a bit to show remorse.
"Mmm mmm mmm…" Aozaki Reiji mumbled, making strange sounds.
"I'll let go of you. If you have something to say, just say it directly, but please, don't mention the words 'Hollowfication' again!"
Urahara Kisuke spoke timidly, only letting go carefully after Aozaki Reiji nodded in agreement.
Unohana looked at the two with a slight surprise, feeling as if she had discovered the truth of the matter.
She had originally thought Hollowfication was Aozaki Reiji's own research, but seeing the two of them now, it was clearly not the case.
Such a rebellious act was very likely committed by Urahara Kisuke!
"Look how anxious you are. What's there to be afraid of? Coward!" Aozaki Reiji said disdainfully. "With me here, as long as I say a few good words to the Old Man, even if he knows, he won't make things difficult for you."
"With that rotten mouth of yours, the Captain-Commander would probably tear me apart the moment you open it," Urahara Kisuke gritted his teeth.
"Hmm!?" Aozaki Reiji dragged out the sound and glared at him.
Urahara Kisuke chuckled sheepishly, "I was wrong. You're a magnanimous person, so please don't hold it against me."
"That's more like it." Aozaki Reiji nodded, crossing her arms, and said, "But your attitude isn't sincere enough, and your acting has some minor flaws. You still need to practice!"
"How could that be? I received professional training in the Second Division!"
Urahara Kisuke raised a fist proudly, then quickly bent down and rubbed his hands, fawningly saying:
"But if you say there are flaws, then there are flaws. I'll go back and train hard."
"A teachable student," Aozaki Reiji nodded, saying haughtily.
"So, what exactly do you want?"
"Kisuke," Aozaki Reiji called out the familiar name with a serious expression.
"Reiji?" Urahara Kisuke was somewhat confused by the sudden solemnity.
"Don't you think this world is too boring now?" Aozaki Reiji said with an expression of loneliness at the top.
