Chapter 99: Kugō Ginjō
Naruto stood up to greet the visitor, somewhat surprised. "Captain Ukitake, what brings you here?"
It was well known that the captain of the 13th Division rarely left his quarters.
As he spoke, Naruto activated his Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
"I'm Ukitake Jūshirō," the captain clarified, shaking his head.
Although he hadn't been there that day, Shunsui and Naruto had filled him in afterward.
He understood part of Naruto's surprise.
Deliberately, he emphasized his identity.
The emotional response was genuine. Naruto smiled. "Why not just have Kaien come and call me?"
"I have something to ask of you," Ukitake Jūshirō said, shaking his head. "If I had sent Kaien to summon you, it would have been too disrespectful."
