194 Chapter 194: New Captains Of Fifth & Ninth Division

In the Soul Society.

As Mazuru said, in order to cope with the upcoming battle, Head-captain Yamamoto seemed to have decided to fill up the two vacant captain positions before the big battle begins, so he began to search for strong members in the Gotei13 to select a new captain.

In addition to asking Sui Feng if there was any hidden strong shinigami in the Onmitsukidō, the head-captain turned his attention to the other team members from other divisions. Among them, the one who impressed him the most was undoubtedly Shiba Kaien and Kano Ashido. On the day of Kuchiki Rukia's execution, together with Shunsui, Jushiro, they fought against him.

Kaien, who was a well-known genius shinigami a hundred years ago, was the same as Ichimaru Gin, the former vice-captain of the Third Division who had defected from the Soul Society along with Aizen. He graduated from the Shinō Academy in one year.

Needless to say, Ashido was a shinigami of the seventh Kenpachi's era. He wandered alone in Hueco Mundo for many years and killed many Menos Grande. It was conceivable how strong he was that he could survive alone in Hueco Mundo for so many years. Yamamoto was sure that Ashido was definitely a very strong shinigami.

After thinking of these two people, Head-captain Yamamoto immediately found his disciple Jushiro.

When asked to Ashido, he directly refused without any kind of consideration.

For him, the purpose of his return to Soul Society was never to become a captain. Mazuru asked him this same question back then, but he had refused because he thought he did not have the ability to be a leader and lead the entire division well wnough.

Now back to Soul Society, he was a seat officer in the Thirteenth Division, he was already very satisfied with his position.

On the other hand, Kaien, after thinking about it for a while, did not intend to give up this opportunity and chose to participate in the captain's assessment.

He was not a very ambitious person, however, as the head of the Shiba family, he must consider things for the Shiba family.

As one of the great nobles of the Soul Society in the past, the Shiba family had been in decline for too long now.

As the head of the Shiba family, he always had a wish to revive the Shiba family and make it prosper again.

Twenty years ago, when his uncle Shiba Isshin was the captain of the Tenth Division, even though his uncle belonged to a branch house, his surname was "Shiba", so Kaien didn't intend to become a captain, but now his uncle had left Soul Society .

For the Shiba house, it was time for another captain.

As a well-known genius, Kaien completed the practice of Bankai many years ago, so after he participated in the captain's assessment, it was almost exceptionally smooth, and he successfully passed the captain's assessment.

At the captain meeting, Head-captain Yamamoto announced that Kaien will be the captain of the Ninth Division.

Regarding Kaien's succession as a captain, the rest of the captains didn't had any opinion. After all, they all knew Kaien's strength. So for them, It was a very reasonable decision.

"Congratulations, Kaien!"

After the meeting, Mazuru walked up to Kaien and congratulated him.

"Haha, no need to congratulate me, it's just my good luck. I still have a long way to go before truly becoming a captain." Kaien was a little embarrassed when he heard Mazuru came to congratulate him. 

"You can't pass the captain's assessment with just luck. Since you can pass the captain's assessment, it proves that you really have what it takes to become a captain and take a captain's responsibility." Mazuru said.

Shunsui also stepped forward and said, "Brother Mazuru is right, Kaien, don't be so humble."

"Captain Kyoraku..." Kaien was still a little embarrassed.

With a smile on his lips, Shunsui looked at his friend Jushiro next to him, "Jushiro, you are really enviable. Sure enough, the luck of handsome guys are different."

"What's wrong?" Jushiro was a little confused.

Shunsui explained, "Brother Mazuru was your vice-captain at the beginning, and later became the captain of the Third Division. Now, Kaien has also become the captain of Ninth Division, which means that your division alone has already produced two captains. Now I think, if a shinigami wants to become a captain of Gotei 13 in the future, he or she should first find a way to become the vice-captain of your Thirteenth Division first."

Jushiro said with a smile, "Shunsui, you really like to joke, but whether it is Mazuru-kun or Kaien, it really makes me feel very relieved to see them become captains of Gotei 13."

After Kaien filled a vacancy by becoming the captain of the Ninth division.

Captain Yamamoto began to look for a candidate for the captain of the Fifth Division.

Because Kaien was the vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division, he first considered the contemporary vice-captains for his screening. Some of the vice-captains had already achieved Bankai but unfortunately, they were still a little short of becoming captains. 

Time passed for a while.

Until one day, Yamamoto summoned the captains and held another captain meeting.

In the meeting room of the First Division, all the captains stood up one by one, only to hear Yamamoto say, "Because of Aizen Sosuke's defection, Gotei 13 lost two captains in total. Not long ago, Shiba Kaien, the vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division, passed the captain's assessment and succeeded as the captain of the Ninth Division. As for the vacant position of the Fifth Division captain, a few days ago, with the return of the Hueco Mundo expeditionary force, considering the vacancy of a captain, I summoned the person in charge of the expedition team. Under the witness of me, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and other two captains, he participated in the captain's assessment, and the result was that he unanimously passed."

Yamamoto paused for a moment, and then continued, "So now I would like to introduce to you the new captain of the Fifth Division of Gotei 13, who replaced the former captain Aizen Sosuke."

"Shusuke Amagai, come in!"

Yamamoto called in a middle-aged man with disheveled hair. The man had a gentle expression on his face, which was somewhat similar to Aizen's expression before he defected.

Next, it was the same old routine. Shusuke Amagai became the captain of the Fifth Division and everyone congratulated him.

Mazuru glanced at Amagai, and also stepped forward to congratulate him, thinking of another plot in the original anime.

The Bakkōtō (Baku-Crossing Sword/Fused Tapir Sword) Incident!

This incident was caused by the help of Amagai.

The only difference was that in the anime, Amagai succeeded as the captain of the Third Division, and right now, because the Third Division's captain, Mazuru was still in place, what he filled in for was Aizen's vacant place as the Fifth Division's captain.
