There were little stars in Chōjirō's eyes. That was great. With the help of Brother Yamabuki, he would be able to become a qualified vice-captain soon.
"Let's eat! No matter what, we have to eat first before we talk about training! There's no hot pot in Soul Society, right?" Yamabuki said with a smile.
"Well, I've never eaten like this before!" Chōjirō nodded while eating the meat.
Soon, the three of them finished the whole pot of ingredients and patted their stomachs with satisfaction.
"Now that we're done with dinner, shouldn't we do some after-meal exercise? You two follow me." Yamabuki brought Chōjirō and Unohana to the underground training ground.
Seeing the huge and spacious underground training field, Chōjirō's eyes were about to pop out of his head.
"Brother Yamabuki, you actually dug such a large space underground?"
"This is the wisdom of adults." Yamabuki said proudly, "I will start your special training now. Do you know what the fastest way to become stronger in this world is?"
Chōjirō shook his head vigorously.
"It's actual combat."
"Actual combat?"
"That's right, it's actual combat. All the strong people become stronger in actual combat, and you are no exception." Yamabuki looked like he understood a lot.
Chōjirō said happily, "So... Brother Yamabuki wants me to fight with you?"
Yamabuki gave a very mysterious smile.
"It's true that someone is your training partner, but that person is not me." Yamabuki turned his head and looked at Unohana.
Chōjirō's face turned pale instantly.
Are you kidding?
Let this vicious woman be my training partner?
She'll hack me to death!
"Brother Yamabuki, I suddenly remembered that I have a lot of things to do at home. I'll go back first and won't disturb you anymore!" Chōjirō turned and ran, but was easily caught by Yamabuki.
"Want to run? It's too late! Come on!"
Chōjirō looked at Unohana, who had a gentle expression on her face.
"We are all family now; you wouldn't hack me to death, right?" Chōjirō asked as he tremblingly held his sword.
Then the next second he saw Unohana showing a devilish smile.
No, the devil is nothing in front of this woman!
"Brother Yamabuki!!! Help!!!"
…
On work the next day.
Chōjirō came to Yamamoto trembling and started to deal with today's work.
"Why do you look like you haven't sleep last night?" Yamamoto asked casually.
When Chōjirō thought about how he had been jumping back and forth between "death" and "resurrection" last night, he got goosebumps all over his body. He never wanted to go through that experience again in his life.
It's such a torture!
Every time he was hacked half to death by Unohana, then thrown into that strange hot spring, and revived with full health after a while, then he was hacked half to death by Unohana again, and then thrown into the hot spring, and this cycle repeated endlessly.
Chōjirō scratched his head and found that he was losing his hair!
"…I'm so young, I won't become bald, right?" Chōjirō's whole body trembled even more violently.
However, this kind of life-threatening training is still effective. Chōjirō's reiatsu is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, Unohana and Yamabuki arrived at the 11th Division barracks.
The members of the 11th Division have divided into two teams to welcome them.
"Captain!"
"Chief of Staff!!!"
In the Gotei 13, the strong are more popular. Unohana looks smiling, but everyone knows that this crazy woman almost killed her way through the Seireitei on her own, and everyone is terrified.
"Yamabuki, what is my job as the captain?" Unohana asked curiously.
"Just take them out to kill people. As for who to kill, I will tell you when the time comes." Yamabuki said lightly.
Just like that, the captain of the 11th Division officially took office.
Before Yamabuki could even sit down, he saw a figure at the door looking inside furtively. It was Chōjirō.
"Brother Yamabuki, the captain asked you to prepare uniforms for the new team members and write a document and submit it later," said Chief Chōjirō.
"No problem, tell him it will be done in a while."
The most important reason why Unohana was able to run rampant in Soul Society before was that all the captains were out recruiting soldiers. If the captain-general was still there, it would not be Yamabuki's turn to take action.
Yamabuki counted the number of new team members, then wrote a document and sent it to the 1st Division.
As he walked back, Chōjirō was very happy.
He is now the vice-captain of the 1st Division and has many team members under his command.
"This time our Gotei 13 has really grown stronger!" said Chōjirō.
Before Yamabuki could answer, a very discordant voice came from the side.
"What the hell is this Gotei 13? Does the Seireitei need protection from a bunch of bastards like you? You've made such a mess, I've had enough!"
Yamabuki and Chōjirō turned around at the same time and found that the person who was talking was a young man wearing aristocratic clothes. Judging from his clothes, he was of a high status.
He had a Zanpakutō on his waist, a pot of wine in his right hand, and a gentian flower on his chest. He was drunk in broad daylight, and when he heard Chōjirō mention the Gotei 13, he started talking nonsense here.
Indeed, the establishment of the Gotei 13 took away a lot of resources and power from the nobles, making many nobles dissatisfied.
"What do you mean by that?" Chōjirō shouted angrily.
Yamabuki didn't want to argue with the drunkard, so he reached out and pulled his sleeve: "Forget it, forget it, let's go. It's not worth arguing with a scum like him. "
The drunk noble saw the two little devils running away and smiled disdainfully.
Yamabuki has been in Soul Society for such a long time that he has some understanding of these nobles. Judging from the clothes of this drunkard, he is from the upper-class noble family of "Yamatake".
I heard that this was originally a big family, but later on, the family declined, and now there are only two people a brother and sister. The arrogant man on the road just now should be the current head of the Yamatake family, Yamatake Chiaki.
It's no wonder. With such a low IQ, it's normal for the family to decline. The main thing is that if he meets someone with a bad temper, he might be killed by someone with a sword.
Chōjirō looked a little lost.
"Brother Yamabuki, is there really a difference between being of noble birth and being of commoner birth? Before I became the vice-captain, there were many team members of noble birth who looked down on me. These nobles are so annoying! Can't you think of a solution?" Chōjirō whispered.
Yamabuki showed a helpless expression on his face: "Even I can't control people's hearts. People will always show their strengths to express their superiority. Even if there is no difference in birth, they will find other excuses to belittle others. As for nobles and commoners... Humph, kings, princes, generals, and ministers, are they of the same kind?"
