Chapter 153: The Man who Hates Himself
The 7th Division's office now had an extra desk, placed right next to Soi Fon's.
The 10th Division placed great importance on Tōshirō, much like how Naruto was treated in his early days. Upon joining, Tōshirō was immediately given the rank of Third Seat and groomed as a future captain.

Although they didn't let him fully exercise the captain's authority, a young and inexperienced "cub" suddenly dealing with so many responsibilities—though not difficult, they were tedious—left Tōshirō rather overwhelmed.
