Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training

"Regarding the captain of the 5th Division, Arima Shizuka was also killed on that day. Where were you and what were you doing?"

"..."

"In other words, did Arima Shizuka have any strange behavior or behavior that you think is abnormal?"

"..."

"That... Vice Captain Hinamori?"

The officer who came to investigate, representing the privilege of the 1st Division, was already sweating in the face of such a situation.

This guy didn't say anything, so how should the investigation proceed?

The 5th Division dormitory.

In the lounge of Vice Captain Hinamori Momo, she was sitting on the bed, half of her body leaning against the side wall, showing a dull and lifeless expression.

It's not that she can't hear.

But she simply doesn't want to think and answer.

Like an autistic patient who has cut off contact with the outside world, Hinamori Momo has no response at this moment, like a puppet.

Just as footsteps came from outside the door, when he turned around again, Hitsugaya Toushirou, the third seat of the 10th Division, pushed the door open.

There was no need to look around, as if he knew the current situation in the room in just an instant.

Dong Shilang closed his eyes helplessly and sighed.

"Excuse me, please go back first... I will collect the relevant information and then report it to the captain."

The other party sighed as if relieved and stood up directly.

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

- To be honest, this kind of work is really not for humans.

After all, in terms of nature, it is equivalent to looking for trouble at someone's door.

Didn't you see that the deputy captain looked like he had lost his soul?

Several people hurriedly packed up their things, got up in a panic, and retreated to the door.

Leaving here is the absolute right choice, but before taking a step... these people stopped where they were and looked at each other for a moment.

After a brief entanglement.

The leader turned back again.

Facing Hitsugaya's slightly tired and puzzled eyes, the visitor bowed deeply with a serious expression.

"Captain Arima's departure was unexpected."

"No one would have thought... and no one would have wanted to see this happen."

"But now that things have come to this, no matter what, please accept my condolences, Vice Captain Hinamori."

The dead are gone.

The living are still living.

They must bear this responsibility and care.

Some things can be conveyed to each other through understanding even if they don't need to be made clear.

The words stopped there, and everyone retreated and left the room.

I don't know if it was because of hearing this sentence, or because of Hitsugaya's arrival.

Hinamori Momo's eyes trembled slightly.

As if she was a stiff, rusty machine, she slowly turned her head and stared at the figure beside her.

"Xiaobai..."

At this point, it's not the time to pursue what to call her.

Toushirou scratched the corner of his mouth helplessly, frowned, and placed the bag next to the other person.

"You haven't eaten much in the past two days, right? You need to replenish your nutrition... otherwise your body won't be able to bear it."

I don't want to eat.

I didn't have time to say anything like that.

Toshiro had already spoken first.

"You fell ill before finding the murderer. Does that sound reasonable?"

A thousand words could not resist the advice at this moment. After a short silence, Hinamori Momo showed a rather reluctant smile.

"I, I understand..."

"Then do it yourself. I also came here to pass on some news to you today."

It has been three days since the last emergency captain meeting.

The tense atmosphere caused by the invasion of the travel disaster seems to have eased a lot after this stage.

"Let's talk about the good news first."

Toshiro sat on the chair next to Hinamori Momo and hugged both of them to his chest.

He looked like a little kid.

"One of the invaders has been arrested. Although many captains support interrogating him... it was the captain who made the final decision."

"We just locked him up and asked him some basic questions."

"The name... seems to be a guy called Chad Taitora."

The fate of this boxing enthusiast is basically the same as the content of the original line.

After the invasion, he did not choose to join other companions, but rushed forward... I can only say that the black-skinned sports student is really lucky.

This time, because Arima Shizuka was in trouble, he did not fight with Kyoraku Shunsui.

But he ran into Komamura Sajin who was patrolling.

The loyalty concept of the big dog unexpectedly got along with Chad Taitora. Although both sides agreed with each other's ideas, they still faced each other with swords in the end.

Unsurprisingly, Chad Taitora was still the first person to be arrested on the spot.

After hearing this news, Hinamori Momo's eyes brightened a little.

"Then is there any..."

"No, this guy doesn't know anything about Captain Arima."

After a pause, Dong Shilang continued to emphasize.

"Although the possibility of deception cannot be ruled out, torture cannot be used at present, so we can only put it aside for the time being."

--How can this be considered good news?

As if he didn't feel the depression, Dong Shilang adjusted his sitting posture and continued to speak.

"The following are all bad news..."

In theory, these are not things that can be disclosed to people below the captain level.

But now is the "wartime" preparation state.

Special exceptions are naturally excusable.

"Yoichi Shihouin, who has been missing for a long time, appeared in the Soul Society."

"That guy seems to be involved with the Traveling Beasts. Although I don't know why... but now it seems that he has become an enemy."

"The mystery of the actions of the previous second division captain, Soi Fong, has also been explained."

Although there are some changes.

But after Shiba Ganju successfully broke into the tower and met Rukia, a variety of chain reactions still occurred.

Byakuya Kuchiki turned back, Ichigo came to the rescue, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand and were kidnapped by Yoichi, etc.

Regarding the various information exposed in this regard, whether it is important or not is not discussed for the time being.

After all, the information currently obtained has made the captains realize that things are not as simple as expected.

"The invasion of the Tadashi and the murder of Captain Arima should be two completely unrelated things."

So, what is the problem?

Although there is no way to trace it, everyone in the Gotei 13 has their own methods and ideas.

"Some people are investigating Captain Arima's whereabouts, and some people are paying attention to the movements of the 46th Chamber."

"Although there are many ideas, before that... the sentence of Rukia Kuchiki has been brought forward again."

"This is an unprecedented act. Even those who are extremely evil will not use such a weird method to pursue the death penalty."

The more you investigate, the deeper you go.

You can find that there is a strange atmosphere everywhere in the Soul Society recently.

No place is normal...It's like a root that has already rotted and stinked somewhere.

Finally, the epidermis is corroded, making everyone realize the problem.

Hitsugaya Toushirou sorted out and described the information currently under his hands.

The original intention was to conduct a certain degree of analysis.

Break down the pros and cons, and explain the current situation to Momo Hinamori in a more concise way.

But the other party doesn't seem to appreciate it.

"Anything is fine."

"Huh?"

"I say, this kind of thing..."

Momo Hinamori's cheeks were slightly sunken, and her eyes were cast out the window again.

"Anything is fine..."

There was nothing worth caring about.

And compared to these things, Momo Hinamori's attention was uncontrollably attracted by the things outside the window at this moment.

The sun was just right.

Warm but not hot.

Just seeing such a scene, tears flowed out involuntarily.

Captain Arima's favorite thing is to go out and take a nap in the sun in this weather.

Prepare pillows and blankets, and it would be better to bring some tea and snacks...

Fragmented memories emerged in her mind, making Momo Hinamori purse her lips.

Raising her right hand and gently pressing her chest, Momo Hinamori's expression was still stiff.

There was still movement.

It was the sound of heartbeats.

But... it's really strange, my body is as stiff as if I were dead.

A drowning person will greedily pursue breathing, trying to get out of this state close to death, so that he can be completely "alive".

But for the current Hinamori Momo, she seems to have no willpower in this regard.

She has forgotten the reason to live.

She is just pursuing the afterimage of the past, this is the current situation of Hinamori Momo.

Looking at the other party's performance, Dong Shilang frowned, and his dissatisfaction was evident.

But...

How can I correct the other party's behavior from what angle?

I can't do it.

If I can't change this idea from the root, then there is no help at all.

If there is really a way.

Maybe...

The only way is to let Arima Shizuka come back to life.

After this short and momentary silence, Dong Shilang seemed to have given up persuasion and lowered his head at this moment.

"Kuchiki Rukia's sentence."

"It has been reduced to..."

"Tomorrow's execution."

It was a soliloquy.

It was more like an explanation to himself.

...

The First Squadron's Quarters.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni sat in the empty dojo.

After taking off his haori robe, the old man's thin and slender figure highlighted his aging posture.

However, he simply looked at the wall on the side.

On it, a certain apprentice who had come here once used his own behavior to prove his talent to Yamamoto.

The impressive and touching I-ryu.

Now he is no longer in the world.

Outside the door, Chojiro Suzuki stood aside in silence, and finally just tightened the western-style bow tie around his neck and sighed silently.

The Second Squadron's Quarters.

As the headquarters of the secret mobile force, it should be a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

However, today was a little different...

Because the Omaeda family happened to come to play in the team house, and there were many descendants of aristocrats with a large family and wealth.

Needless to say, Omaeda Kichiyo's brothers and sisters.

"Don't move! These things are the captain's stuff. If you break them, I will be scolded!"

"But brother, aren't you very rich? Wouldn't it be nice to buy another one!"

"...It seems like this is really the case?"

She loved her family, but in the end Kichiyo could only turn a blind eye.

but.

Until a certain brat accidentally knocked over the altar on the altar table.

The incense ashes were scattered all over the floor, staining clothes and bodies, causing people to complain constantly.

But before that, Kichiyo had already slapped the guy on the back of the head and scolded him loudly.

"Idiot! Help me up quickly!"

It was rare to see the eldest brother so angry, and several people hurriedly straightened the coffin.

"Brother, why are you so careful?"

Kichiyo clasped his hands together and bowed silently towards the altar.

"Because the person serving me here is a senior who took good care of me in the past."

After a moment's pause, he sighed.

"When my father quit working, he said that this was his favorite young man."

But... so what now?

"You guys, please be careful about your lives and don't do anything dangerous."

The third division team building.

Next to Aizen Sosuke sat Tosen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin.

Several people stared at the sky in silence, quietly waiting for the passage of time and the arrival of fate.

The Fourth Division team building.

Unohana Retsu looked at the vice-captain's lounge with the door closed, and seemed to want to knock on the door, but in the end he retreated silently.

Comfort is not a panacea. There are some things that the person concerned still needs to be able to come out of.

The sixth division team building.

Kuchiki Byakuya wore formal clothes and knelt down in front of the memorial altar at home.

He also asked other family members to put Feizhen under 'house arrest'.

Not seeing, not listening, not thinking.

Leave the pain and boredom to yourself.

Nowadays, Kuchiki Byakuya seems to have no other choice but to wait.

The seventh division team building.

The Komamura Left Formation patrolled the Seireitei as usual and fulfilled their duties.

The eighth division team building.

He looked at the intelligence letter in his hand and flipped through some related contents.

Kyōraku Shunsui, who usually maintained a cynical look, seemed to have noticed something at this moment.

He frowned unconsciously.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Please come in."

There was no expected sound of pushing the door, but Ise Nanao's voice came from outside the door.

"I'll leave the wine at the door."

After a brief moment of surprise, Kyōraku Shunsui revealed a smile that seemed clear.

But before he could speak, the other person had already continued speaking.

"But for the sake of my health, I only drank half the bottle."

"...Ahaha, it's better than nothing."

The building of the 11th Division and the 12th Division.

Because the captain was injured, each of them is now very worried, and each other is busy with something.

And without instructions.

Nianyinmeng just sat quietly in her room.

She stared at the small transparent glass bottle in front of the table and the contents inside, without moving for a long time.

Until Nirvana's voice came from the other side.

"Nemu, come here and help."

"Okay, Lord Niryuri."

He stood up but did not leave the room directly.

Niyinmeng turned to the direction of the water platform, and quietly and skillfully replaced the slightly yellowed old water in it.

While returning the items to their original places, she caressed the bottle silently, but said nothing.

Until after the pause of two breaths.

Turned around and left the room.

Emotions are useless, so they cannot be expressed in words.

but……

Can so-called people really be ruthless and unjust? Perhaps this answer is unknown to Nirvana.

The 13th Division team building.

Ukitake Jushiro's illness seemed to be getting worse.

Everyone who was the chief officer at the time gathered around and wanted to help, but they were all stopped by the captain.

"Cough, cough...I don't mind."

"It's okay, it's just an old problem."

"Just wait until...tomorrow."

Wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Jūshirō Ukitake repeated as if talking to himself.

"Wait until tomorrow..."

Just fine.
