Upon hearing Fuuka Tsunayashiro's words, the forty-six old geezers reacted as if a pot had exploded, their expressions changing drastically.
A joint letter from the Five Great Noble Clans?
What did these people want to do? Did they want to abolish the Central 46?
Besides that, what else in Seireitei was worth a joint letter from the heads of the Five Great Noble Clans?
If the Five Great Noble Clans were in agreement and the Soul King nodded, then the power of this letter would supersede the Central 46.
The faces of these old geezers turned extremely ugly. In an instant, not one of the forty-six dared to speak.
After a long while, a Great Sage sitting at the highest position said, "Hand over the letter!"
Immediately, a servant handed the letter to the Great Sage.
These old geezers opened the letter, trembling as if awaiting their final execution.
As it turned out, the content of the letter had nothing to do with them!
"The Gotei 13? What is that?" the Great Sage asked.
"Just as its name suggests, this is an army specifically for protecting Seireitei. You all witnessed what happened yesterday; Hollows attacking Seireitei in droves, though rare, is not unheard of. I believe we should form a specialized army to prevent various unexpected situations. Our Five Great Noble Clans have already unanimously agreed, and now we are just waiting for the Central 46's approval." Fuuka Tsunayashiro said.
It wasn't about abolishing the Central 46, which made these old geezers feel powerful again.
"Nonsense! Why would Seireitei need a bunch of rabble to protect it? What are the Five Great Noble Clans for? What are so many nobles for?"
"I presume you all felt that world-destroying spiritual pressure yesterday. Don't you want such a powerful individual to protect your safety?" Fuuka Tsunayashiro asked.
Of course, they had felt Yamamoto's world-destroying spiritual pressure yesterday.
It made them startled, and it made them tremble!
These people might be corrupt, but that didn't mean they were fools.
"You mean, the founder of the Gotei 13 is that Yamamoto Genryūsai?"
"Exactly. It's him. It's just that the Gotei 13 is currently only a civilian organization, as it hasn't received the approval of the Central 46. My suggestion is to summon Yamamoto Genryūsai to the Central 46 for an in-person discussion, with the heads of the Five Great Noble Clans and other high-ranking nobles as witnesses." Fuuka Tsunayashiro said.
The forty-six Great Sages all began discussing, and the Central 46 immediately buzzed like a swarm of flies.
Indeed, with such a peerless powerhouse in charge, they could rest easy from then on.
"Silence!" The Great Sage at the highest position heavily struck the wooden gavel.
"In that case, bring Yamamoto Genryūsai here, and we'll discuss it in person," the Great Sage said.
Of course, they didn't want yesterday's events to happen again. After all, when the Hollows launched a large-scale attack, many of these forty-six Great Sages had wet their pants out of fear.
If there were a powerful army solely responsible for Seireitei's safety, it would be simply perfect.
Fuuka Tsunayashiro looked at their disgusting faces and sneered inwardly, but there was nothing he could do. Although his power was great, it was not enough to shake the rules of Soul Society that had existed for millions of years.
...
Yamabuki was the first to receive the news, and he immediately informed Yamamoto.
"So, as long as the Central 46 acknowledges us, we'll be an official organization!" Yamamoto never expected his dream to come true so quickly, in less than half a month. At this moment, his gaze towards Yamabuki changed.
Before, he had only regarded Yamabuki as an assistant.
But after this incident, Yamamoto had deeply realized the importance of strategy. Indeed, his Ryūjin Jakka was invincible, but his ultimate goal was to protect, not to destroy.
If he merely wanted to destroy, he could activate his Bankai and rampage, and the entire Soul Society would be annihilated in no time.
But his ultimate goal was to protect this world!
This made the situation much more complicated.
He had even made a hundred-year plan to achieve his goal.
However, Yamabuki's arrival compressed that goal from a hundred years to half a month.
That feeling was like Liu Xuande's first encounter with Zhuge Wolong.
In just half a month, this country bumpkin, who only possessed strength, was directly introduced to the core of Soul Society's power.
"Yamabuki, what should we do next?" Yamamoto asked.
"Be arrogant! Be unyielding! Absolutely do not back down!" Yamabuki said: "Captain-Commander, when we get to the Central 46, can you let me do the talking? You must follow my words and not show any signs of compromise. You must be firm, absolutely firm!"
Yamamoto didn't understand what this kid meant for a moment.
But then he thought that they had already come this far, and it was too late to regret.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say then," Yamamoto said.
Yamamoto now unconditionally trusted Yamabuki.
The meeting was set for tomorrow.
Yamabuki had to work through the night to create a perfect plan.
This was related to his retirement plan, so he couldn't be careless in the slightest.
The next day, Yamabuki even dressed up specially.
Saitō Furōfushi looked unhappy: "Why do I have to go see those old geezers too? It's so annoying! Are there a lot of formalities? I hate those things the most!"
Yamabuki directly denied: "No formalities needed. Be as arrogant and overbearing as possible. You can just act naturally."
"Hey? What do you mean by that? Am I usually very arrogant? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!" Saitō shouted.
Shihōin Chika was about to tell everyone the rules for going to the Central 46; by custom, swords were not allowed.
"Everyone, bring your swords! Especially the Captain-Commander, Ryūjin Jakka should be ready to be released at any time!" Yamabuki said.
Shihōin Chika almost vomited blood. Although he appeared wild and unrestrained, being born into a noble clan and being a clan head meant that his every word and action represented not only himself but also his entire family behind him, so he often had to be restrained.
"Are you going to war? You can't get in with swords! You simply can't get in like this!" Shihōin Chika said with a bitter smile.
"No, whether we bring swords or not, we can get in!" Yamabuki, of course, understood the Central 46's behavior. They considered themselves high and mighty, with immense power, but their actual combat ability was close to zero.
A thousand years later, they were first massacred by Aizen, and then massacred again by the Quincy during their invasion.
Even so, they still refused to repent.
Before the Thousand-Year Blood War began, Captain-Commander Shunsui Kyōraku proposed assigning a Captain-level Shinigami to Central 46 to protect their safety.
Central 46's reply was, "No."
