- Chapter 333 - The secret of the five nobles
It was another sunny day, and the Soul Society was particularly peaceful.
Lu Li strolled on the street, looking at the Gotei soldiers passing by, and felt like an old man walking on the street after lunch.
The life of the First Division was much more leisurely than he had imagined. Since Soul Society was preparing to attack the present-day Quincy recently, the captain-general was actually quite busy.
That day, he came to see him secretly, and he only took time to come over during afternoon tea to check the situation. Originally, Lu Li thought that after going to the First Division, he would be taught by the old man every day, but since then, they have never met once.
There are other geniuses in the First Division who are gilded here, but their spiritual pressure levels are much lower, and they cannot please Lu Li in the competition.
In line with the principle of not wasting time and maximizing the benefits in the mission world, Lu Li left the team house and prepared to discuss and learn with the captains he was familiar with.
Anyway, the First Division usually has no missions, so as long as he does not leave the Soul Society, he does not need to report, and he can go wherever he wants.
“Hey, Ye Yi, you look like you’re in a bad mood.”
Lu Li greeted Ye Yi from a distance. The reason he said that was because there was another man standing opposite Ye Yi.
The man was wearing the uniform of the second squad’s chief officer, with a green and white striped hat on his head. He put one hand on his head and nodded and bowed, as if he was reflecting on something, but his attitude and lazy tone did not seem like he was reflecting on something.
“Why do you still have time to come out? Didn’t the captain give you hell training?”
Ye Yi glared at Lu Li unhappily, and was also surprised that the other party came out to hang out the next day.
“The captain-general has no time to care about me. He is busy attacking the Quincy. Considering that the spiritual pressure of a captain-level figure may have adverse effects in the present world, a lot of arrangements need to be made in advance.” Lu Li explained, and then looked at the man next to Ye Yi, “Isn’t this Senior Puyuan?” “Ah, I didn’t expect that classmate Lu still remembered me. I am really honored. I thought I was a nobody.” Urahara Kisuke smiled like a fool, not serious at all. Seeing this, Ye Yi raised his foot and stepped on the instep of Urahara Kisuke, making him grimace in pain. “This is the third seat under me, two years older than us. I didn’t expect you to still remember him.”
Yoichi introduced, “Why call him senior? Now everyone has graduated, don’t give him face.”
Urahara Kisuke didn’t refute, but just bowed and nodded humbly, “Lu graduated earlier than me, just call me Urahara.”
Lu Li looked at this pair of childhood sweethearts and thought that it was really a case of one person’s success bringing success to everyone else. Although Urahara Kisuke is also a genius, with the normal process, he probably wouldn’t be able to sit in the third seat at this age and with the qualifications.
But who made him have a good relationship with Yoichi, plus his strength is not bad, so he climbed to a high position naturally.
Not only that, ninety years later, Urahara Kisuke will be recommended to the position of the 12th Division… provided that everything develops according to the original plot.
“Then I will call you Urahara-kun, by the way, what were you arguing about just now?”
Lu Li asked curiously.
“This guy left his post without permission and dared to meet with Captain Hikifune behind my back.”
Yoichi said mercilessly, “Is research so fun? I think when Captain Hikifune gets promoted, you might as well go to the 12th Division to take over.”
“Don’t say such harsh words, I just went to Captain Hikifune to borrow some research equipment, do you think I want to go? Every time I go, I get kicked out by Hiyori.”
Urahara Kisuke looked helpless, and looked at Lu Li for help, “Lu Jun should be here to see Yoichi, right? Then you guys chat, I’ll go back to the maggot nest now.”
As the third seat of the second division, he is also the captain of the Kanri Team of the third secret mobile team, responsible for guarding the maggot nest.
After saying that, he didn’t care if Yoyoichi had any other instructions, and ran away.
“Damn, this guy, he hasn’t matured at all!”
Yoichi was so angry that his teeth itched, but he wasn’t really angry, and his expression returned to normal after a while.
Lu Li wanted to complain that you two are the same, you are both the captain of the second division and the third seat, but you are still young and bickering.
It can only be said that although these two people are already very strong, their personalities still lack the polishing of age, or the beating of society.
Perhaps after Yoruichi has done too many dirty things in the Secret Mobile Force and Urahara Kisuke has seen too much injustice in the Maggot Nest, the two will become more mature and stable.
“Is Urahara-kun a researcher? What is he researching recently?”
Lu Li asked curiously, wanting to know what Urahara Kisuke, a research and development genius who is even better than Aizen, has come up with.
“It seems to be some kind of transformation of the divine body? He thinks the current prototype of the Secret Mobile is not stable, and he is developing a new version.”
Yueyi herself is not very interested. She just remembers that a few years ago, Captain Hikifune provided a batch of devices called “transformation of the divine body” as trial products for Secret Mobile training, but the feedback from the soldiers below was not very good after using them.
She thought that this thing should not be used by the Secret Mobile to help experiment, but by other squads that use Zanpakuto more often. After all, she, the commander-in-chief of the Secret Mobile, does not usually use Zanpakuto herself.
“Oh? What is the use of that thing?”
Lu Li pretended to be curious, but he was really surprised in his heart. He didn’t expect Urahara Kisuke to start studying the God Body so early.
According to Yoruichi in the original work, after Urahara Kisuke developed a stable Tenshin Body, he learned Swastika by using the Tenshin Body for a few days.
Although Soyousuke warned himself that his swastika was very dangerous and that using the Tenshin Body might cause unknown horrors, he felt that it would be good to prepare a Tenshin Body as a last resort.
“According to what Kisuke said, if he develops it successfully, it will allow shinigami of up to standard quality to quickly learn swastika. I don’t think it’s very reliable.”
Yoruichi said, looking at Lu Li with a smile, “Oh, I almost forgot, there are still people here who don’t know how to understand swastika. How about, do you want me to help you ask Kisuke for one of his prototypes?”
Looking at Ye Yi’s expression, Lu Li knew that the other party had bad intentions, “Forget it, let’s wait until he is almost developed. Besides, Ye Yi, you have no right to criticize me, do you? Can you understand Swastika?”
To hold the position of captain in the Gotei 13, it is not necessary to learn swastika. In history, there have been many people who became captains but did not know how to use swastika, such as the later generation Kenpachi Zaraki or Soyousuke. .
It can only be said that swastika is an evaluation criterion, but it does not mean that if you cannot understand swastika, you will definitely not be a captain.
Generally speaking, if an ordinary team member wants to become a captain, he must first achieve third-level spiritual power or above, and then learn how to interpret the swastika. Next, he needs to go through three channels.
One is to accept the assessment of three captains including the chief captain, the second is to be recommended by six captains and recognized by more than half of the remaining captains, and the third is to defeat the current captain.
It is worth mentioning that generally speaking, if you want to use these three channels, you must first learn the swastika. However, in some special circumstances, you do not need to know the swastika to use these channels.
The easiest way is the third channel, which is to defeat the current captain, which is what Kenpachi Zaraki did.
The first two channels will also be opened to people who do not understand Swastika under special circumstances. As long as they can complete the assessment and are recognized by the captains as capable of shouldering the responsibilities of captain, they can be promoted.
As for people like Yoruichi, it’s mostly due to family reasons. The Shifengyuan family has basically served in the second division for generations, managing the second division and the secret mobile force.
Lu Li only recently came into contact with Feihong Tengda, Yoruichi, and learned that the second division and covert maneuvers were not synonymous. At least in the era of Yoichi’s leadership, they were still in a state of separation.
Ye Yi’s title is Captain of the Second Division and Commander-in-Chief of Covert Mobile, the same as Commander of the First Division’s Criminal Army General Corps. Lu Li originally thought that Captain of the Second Division was the apparent position of Commander-in-Chief of Covert Mobile, but that was not the case.
The Second Division was internally influenced by the Shifengyuan family. In this era, their main job was to research weapons and black technology. In these fields, they had much stronger research and development capabilities than the current 12th Division.
The Shifengyuan family is known as the Heavenly Armed Forces Division, and it is also a powerful family among the five nobles. As the patriarch of this generation of the family, it is not surprising that Yoruichi can secure his position as the captain of the second division.
“Swastika? I don’t need that kind of thing. Those are skills that only ordinary Shinigami need to learn.”
Yoruichi said, there was actually a short sword hanging on the back of her waist, that was her Zanpakutō.
It’s just that Lu Li has never seen Yoichi use her Zanpakutō since he was a student. Among the Zanpakutou classes, Yoichi basically doesn’t take any classes on kendo.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of the original novel or from the perspective of current familiar friends, Lu Li was very curious as to why Yoruichi didn’t use her Zanpakutō, and whether her Zanpakutō had Hakkake and Swastikaki?
“Ordinary Shinigami… What you said sounds like a class enemy, but you are indeed a noble lady.”
Lu Li complained.
“That’s not what I meant. It’s just out of duty. I must be different from the ordinary Gotei soldiers and cannot rely too much on the Zanpakutō.”
Yoruichi explained, walking towards the second division team building, waving for Lu Li to follow.
She knew that Lu Li didn’t just wander here aimlessly, he must be looking for her for something.
“Are you afraid that the Zanpakutō will make too much noise during the assassination work?”
Lu Li asked curiously. He actually wanted to find Soyousuke, but Soyousuke couldn’t wait to run to Hueco Mundo after he confirmed that it was okay to return.
Well, Soyousuke is going to inspect his happy laboratory, and he probably has a lot in common with Sal Apollo in terms of research.
“Motion? Oh, it’s true that stealth maneuvers require concealment and silence, but this is not the main reason. Anyway, if ghosts are to be used, the noise will not be small.”
Yoruichi shook his head and said, “You just said that I was a class enemy, but you were wrong. The existence of the five nobles is necessary.”
“Is it to provide high-end talents to Room 46 of the Central Committee?”
Lu Li teased, since he had already entered Ye Yi’s house at this moment, and there were no outsiders around, so he spoke more freely.
“I found that you are very aggressive, but I am also quite unhappy with those old men, so I forgive you.”
Yoruichi said with a smile, “But the truth is not what you think. The Forty-sixth Chamber is just a manifestation of the power of the nobility. Let’s not say whether they are stupid or not, but they still maintain Soul Society in a stable state, and you I also made a mistake…”
“What?”
Lu Li was very interested in anything that could gain exploration points.
“Room 46 and our five nobles don’t wear the same pants.”
Yoichi explained, “Our five nobles do send talents to the 46th Chamber, but the main composition of the 46th Chamber is ‘sages’. Some of them come from other nobles earlier, and some are wise men from other areas of Soul Society. You can understand that the 46th Chamber is composed of ‘elders’ and nobles.”
“In other words, it is not easy for you five nobles to influence the opinions of the central 46th Chamber?”
Lu Li was a little surprised.
“That’s right. In fact, the 46th Chamber has been getting more and more at odds with the five nobles in recent years. I also heard that they want to squeeze out one of the five nobles, because then we will not have the veto power of five votes.”
Yoichi shrugged and said, “In short, the 46th Chamber is no longer controlled by the five nobles, and they always go against us.”
“The struggle for power is really complicated. So, if you commit a crime, the 46th Chamber will still sentence you?”
Lu Li sighed, thinking that the power structure of Soul Society was also outrageous.
It is said that political power comes from military power, but the old men of the 46th Chamber do not have military power. If they are not supported by the captain-general and the five nobles do not buy into it, they are just a group of old men with little strength. Sosuke alone easily wiped out the 46th Chamber.
This kind of top-level power, like a castle in the air, is very abstract to Lu Li.
Hearing Ye Yi say that the 46th Chamber is still trying to squeeze out one of the five nobles, Lu Li can probably think of which family it is. It should be the Shiba family, which has begun to decline, that is, the ancestor of Ichigo Kurosaki, the protagonist of the manga “Bleach”.
It can only be said that people who fight politically sometimes have no foresight when they are crazy. The five nobles may now check and balance the power of the central 46th Chamber, but when necessary, because their families also have people working in the 46th Chamber, the five nobles will still support the 46th Chamber.
This is a complementary power structure, but once the five nobles are alienated and their power is weakened, the stability of the power of the 46th Chamber will also decline in disguise.
At that time, there will indeed be no nobles to oppose them, but there will be no strong backing to support them when they encounter major events.
“What are you talking about? Don’t look at me like this, I am very disciplined. How could I commit a crime that will be judged by the 46th Chamber?”
Ye Yi rolled his eyes beautifully.
“It’s hard to say…”
Lu Li complained in a low voice, thinking that when your childhood sweetheart was in trouble, you rescued him without saying a word and ran away to the human world.
