Chapter 44: Emergency! Enemy inside the Soul Society?
The students of Shin'o Academy all revere Sosuke Aizen.
But the person everyone aspires to be is Uzumaki Naruto.
Who wouldn't want to be the most brilliant genius in the Gotei 13?
However...
The threshold to being a "genius" is unimaginably high.
A year later, Ichimaru Gin graduated from the academy and joined the 5th Division. Much like Naruto back in the day, he immediately took on a high-ranking position upon joining.
But no one would compare "Ichimaru Gin" to "Uzumaki Naruto."
The person compared to "Ichimaru Gin" was Kuchiki Byakuya, who joined the 6th Division the same year and held a similar high-ranking position.
This future heir of the prestigious Kuchiki family was also a remarkably bright new star.
