Chapter 145 144: The Curtain Gradually Rises

The ability of Zanpakuto is a relatively private topic.

Generally speaking, it is not something that will be revealed actively. After all, for most Shinigami, this thing is basically equivalent to the bottom of the box.

To be honest.

‘Asking such a question casually is itself a very rude behavior. ’

This carefree Hiyori can still use words like ‘not interfering with worldly affairs’ to fool him, but the others did not say anything to stop him, which seems a bit subtle at this moment.

But then again… if you want to officially become the captain of the Gotei 13, you will definitely have the opportunity to release your Zanpakuto.

It is only a matter of time for others to know your ability.

So, does this mean that Arima Shizuka also wants to give her own surrender?

After all, taking the initiative to explain her ability at this juncture is also a gesture of goodwill in another sense.

Thinking of this, Arima Shizuka also blinked and said with a smile.

“It’s just that the description is too thin.”

At this moment, he took a half step back and raised his hand to his waist, with a smile on his face.

"Why not just show it, maybe the explanation will be clearer?"

Although it was somewhat unexpected, no one spoke to smooth things over. It seemed that everyone was still looking forward to this kind of thing.

Arima Shizuka couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

No wonder the prison master could easily take you down.

I don't know where all of you people's curiosity comes from...

Each of you is a gossip fairy.

I can only say that in this regard, if everyone is not so curious, the prison master can't succeed so easily.

Arima Shizuka's expression did not change as she sighed in her heart.

At this moment, she unsheathed her Zanpakutō and held it horizontally in front of her.

"Then... excuse me."

Zanpakutō was released.

"Eat your own tail, Yui."

...

After watching all the demonstrations, the first person to speak was Kunan Bai, who had just arrived and had not had time to introduce himself.

This guy is really dressed very fashionably.

"Hey?! What was that just now! I don't think I saw it clearly... but it's amazing!"

The speech was so meaningless that even Kensei Mukuma showed a disgusted expression and pressed her to his side.

In contrast, other team-level characters saw some of the tricks.

Hōkō Rōjuro straightened up and rubbed his chin with his right hand, showing an expression of interest.

"By manipulating the surrounding air and energy, simulating different scenes... and then putting the opponent in a relatively unfavorable environment, so as to start the battle."

I see.

"It seems to be an illusion-type Zanpakutō ability."

Obviously, Hōkō Rōjuro was quite interested in this aspect.

In contrast, Aikawa Rōmu's expression seemed a little calm.

"Although I also think it's a bit interesting, this kind of ability is still relatively ordinary."

After all, he is a person with a big brother image, and Aikawa Rōmu's judgment at this moment is also reasonable and well-founded.

"After all, it's just a simulation in the illusion, and it won't make the opponent feel any substantial obstacles. And it won't improve the means of output... So, in the end, it still depends on how good the basic skills are?"

Rokugura Kensei nodded, seeming to agree with this statement.

"I think that's the truth. In addition... this level of simulation is not useless. In my opinion, it can be more coordinated with others."

As he said, he turned his head halfway and stared at Hirako Mako who was looking at a thoughtful expression not far away.

"The cost of training the junior you are optimistic about is not low."

As if he had just come to his senses, the yellow-haired captain of the fifth division raised his eyelids and just chuckled at this moment.

"It doesn't matter~ There is plenty of time."

At this point, Arima Shizuya's ability display also came to an end.

Choosing to use the name "Yumi" to show up, this itself is also a consideration.

-After all, the three people present are people who have fought with him.

No matter how much he looked down upon her, she would never reveal her so-called "real ability".

Considering the connection between Bankai and Shikai, Arima Shizuka also did not dare to make such a "big bet" behavior.

It should be said or not.

The pseudonym used by Sagara Dragon to conceal his true body can still play a corresponding role.

Just like the relationship between Fujikoko and Rurikoko, an incompletely liberated name cannot unfold the complete power.

Thanks to this, Arima Shizuka also "intercepted" it, and the power she showed was the illusion ability with the salt sea as the core.

The abilities of Zanpakuto are roughly classified and items. Considering this aspect, the illusion-based Zanpakuto itself is not too niche.

After all, from Jinghua Shuiyue and Muramasa to Nifu and Kinsara, they all belong to this category.

As a means of getting through, it is the most appropriate choice.

Arima Shizuka also sheathed his sword. At this moment, he could feel that everyone's gazes towards him seemed to be much softer.

——It was touching.

The unknown contained fear, and familiarity brought kindness.

It's no wonder that the prison master looks down on other people from the bottom of his heart... After all, for a person with his kind of personality, this kind of emotional change without any sense of reserve really makes him unhappy.

Gain the trust of others.

Arima Shizuya finally reluctantly integrated into this group of people with the introduction of Hirako Mako.

Although several captains would ask him questions during this period, it was the other deputy captains who preferred to take care of him.

Maybe the person involved has already been identified for his future position... The attitude shown at this time can be said to be quite friendly.

Ku Nanbai's surprised tone sounded interesting, but after they actually started talking, most of what they said was complaining about Roku Che Kensei's inaction.

——Being a deputy team member is very hard!

Perhaps because of his personality, Liu Che Quan Xi is quite helpless when it comes to government affairs.

As for Hiyori.

Maybe it was because he had drunk some wine, but his face was as red as a monkey's butt, and his voice sounded a bit like a broken throat.

——If you don’t understand anything from now on, just ask me and I’ll cover you!

Considering the conduct and character of the other party, Arima Shizu also felt that he should just listen to these words...

I still wasn't used to getting along with these people, but luckily this little drinking party didn't last long.

Before sunset, the big guys had disbanded.

Following Mako Hirako, Arima Shizuya looked at the drunken captain who was staggering as he walked.

He asked helplessly.

"Is it really okay to drink so much?"

The other party responded with intermittent laughter.

"It's okay, it's okay~ I'm in a good mood today. It's okay to be happy occasionally."

"As the captain, if you behave like this, it will appear that team discipline is a bit loose, right?"

"Ahaha, in the big guy's impression, I'm not a serious guy to begin with."

No, no, isn't this something to be proud of?

"Speaking of which, Arima, what do you think of the guys you met today?"

The person involved thought for a while.

"It's not bad, at least everyone is quite kind."

"Huh?! Is the rating so low?"

But...well, this is enough.

After all, the future is long.

Mako Hirako smiled and put his arm around Arima Shizuya's shoulders, and said in his signature teasing tone.

"It's normal to be like this now, but in the future, you will definitely like them too."

Yeah?

Arima Shizuo pursed her lips in disbelief, and finally showed a plain smile.

Maybe.

Return from the party and return to the team.

Arima Shizuo didn't resist, just like Hirako Mako said, he started to familiarize himself with the work of the fifth division step by step.

Just as the other party said, due to the nature of the division, Arima Shizuya needs to invest a lot of energy - and fortunately, because he went to several divisions for internships beforehand, it is not completely Can't get started.

Hirako Mako’s generous teachings also benefited people a lot.

Arima Jing is also undergoing this half-year intensive training. Although his strength has not increased much, his knowledge and management knowledge have been greatly expanded.

Even in the end, he was able to get the picky yellow-haired captain to say, "Even if I send the team directly to you, there seems to be no problem."

Emotion and sweat combined.

Finally, half a year passed...at an unknown late night.

Arima Shizuo also sat in the vice-captain's office and finished handling the affairs assigned today.

"Then, I'll leave the rest to you. If you encounter any difficulties at work, don't force it. Remember to come to me for feedback."

"Thank you, Vice Captain Arima!"

Looking at the grateful members of Division 5, Arima Shizuya smiled peacefully and powerfully.

"Excellent. The current vice-captain is still Aizen-senpai. Please be careful about your words and deeds in this regard."

The other party had a playful smile on his face, obviously not taking these words seriously.

"But Mr. Arima is capable enough to take on the position of vice-captain, right? What's more, Aizen-senpai hasn't appeared during this time..."

As he said this, the other party leaned his head forward and spoke in a pretended low tone.

"Actually, everyone is mentally prepared now, thinking that you will soon take up the post of vice-captain."

Arima Jing also scratched the corners of his mouth in distress, wanting to say something.

But in the end he just sighed helplessly.

Although the person involved has no intention in this regard, Hirako Mako is actually planning in this direction.

Alienating Sosuke Aizen gives Shizaya Arima more opportunities to perform.

By keeping the latter active, we can win over the hearts and minds of the members of the fifth division, and finally achieve the goal of completing the internal transfer of power.

There is nothing outstanding in terms of means alone, but as the saying goes, the simpler something is, the more useful it is.

At this time, Hirako Mako's strategy is indeed effective.

Arima Shizuya pursed her lips helplessly and complained.

"You guy... remember not to talk nonsense outside."

Although he agreed, looking at this guy's expression, it was obvious that he didn't take it seriously.

bump!

The door closes.

The new moon is rising outside the window, and it's time to take a rest.

Arima Shizuru just sorted out the information as before, locked each filing cabinet, and checked carefully...

Turning around, he returned to his seat.

Arima Shizuya clasped his hands together, as if waiting for something...

Until a series of familiar footsteps sounded outside the door.

Ding.

The door lock rotates and the bearing tightens.

Snap...

The metal shrapnel was moved, making a crisp echo.

The door was pushed open.

The cold moonlight shines on the corridor, and at this moment, it completely illuminates the coming figure.

It was like a man walking on the moon, walking into the room with a gentle and calm aura.

"Jingye-kun, long time no see."

Aizen Sosuke.

It's been half a year since they last met, but the other person's appearance hasn't changed at all.

Looking at the prison master standing in front of him, Arima Shizuya stood up from his position and was about to salute respectfully.

But the other party had already spoken first with a smile.

"It's better to sit down and talk to me. After all, Shizuya-kun is the vice-captain trained by Captain Hirako."

Wow~ These words are really shocking.

Arima Shizuya sighed helplessly.

"Teacher, please don't ridicule me like this..."

The other person just pursed his lips and smiled, pushing up his glasses.

It's exactly what Arima Shizuya said.

The so-called joke can only be stopped after a brief taste.

Aizen took a few steps forward and looked at the slightly unfamiliar office with a sigh of relief.

Long time no see.

"Time flies so fast, just blinking for a moment, and half a year has passed."

Arima Shizuo didn't agree with it. After all, after being together for so long, he could roughly understand the other person's temper.

Feelings at this time are not expressing your emotions.

It’s an ‘opening’ in another sense.

As his tone dropped, Aizen Sosuke cast a meaningful look at this moment.

"Jingya-kun, how have you been in the past six months?"

Arima Shizuya responded in a deep voice and gave a definite response.

"According to your instructions, I have gone all out to learn these government affairs procedures. Although I am not completely familiar with them now, I basically understand them."

The reason why I work so hard.

Not just because of Hirako Mako's urging.

There was also a reason why the prison master was giving instructions beside him.

"Really, that's really good news."

Aizen seemed to be smiling quite happily. He raised his right hand and straightened his eyes.

There was also a hint of joking in his eyes.

"Tomorrow is the time for me to review the fifth team. According to Captain Hirako's arrangement, I will be dismissed directly. Shizuya-kun will take advantage of the situation and complete the handover of power within the team as quickly as possible."

Perfect.

This is Mako Taira's conspiracy.

However, Aizen Sosuke also has his own arrangements.

"So how is the current situation, Shizuya-kun?"

Arima Shizuya nodded in response and said in a calm tone.

"The arrangements for Rukongai are complete. According to reliable information, the captain of the ninth division, Rokusha Kensai, and the deputy captain, Kubu Nanbai, have already gone to the expected location to conduct surveys."

The curtain rises.

Aizen also asked at this moment.

"Jingya-kun, would you feel cruel to attack these friends?"

The person involved pondered for a moment and replied thoughtfully.

"They...are all good people."

"so."

"Resolve the problem as quickly as possible."
