Chapter 422 422 Treating Ukitake
Kyoraku said.
Compared to letting Ukitake become Captain-Commander and eventually exhausting himself in the 1st Division, he thought it was better for him to take the strain!
But at that moment, Sora spoke again.
"Why can't Captain Ukitake do it? Because of his health? It's no problem. If Captain Kyoraku is unwilling, I can directly heal Captain Ukitake!"
"What!!? Heal Jushiro!!?" Hearing Sora's words, Kyoraku was shocked!
"If Jushiro can be healed, wouldn't that mean I can..."
"Cough, no, I mean..."
"Can it really be cured?" Taking over Kyoraku's words, Ukitake looked at Sora with longing.
He was also tired of this sickly body of his.
If it weren't for the fact that the thing giving him life was extremely important, and Ukitake himself had a special mission, he would have chosen to die long ago!
"Why not?" Sora shook his head: "In terms of strength, prestige, and ability to command respect, isn't Captain Ukitake better than Captain Kyoraku?"
"If Captain Kyoraku takes over, other Captains like Captain Sui-Feng would feel somewhat dissatisfied, right?"
Sora looked towards Sui-Feng nearby.
"Hmph!" Sui-Feng snorted coldly, but she had to admit that Sora was absolutely right.
"Uh..." Seeing Sui-Feng's expression without any attempt to hide it, Kyoraku was a bit embarrassed.
However, this issue wasn't a big deal.
"If it's Jushiro, I have no objections."
Kyoraku said.
As he spoke, a hint of bitterness appeared on his face: "Of course, personally, I'd rather Jushiro not take it. But sure, healing is fine, because..."
Kyoraku didn't finish the latter part of his sentence, but everyone knew what he wanted to say.
Kyoraku and Ukitake were too close. After Jushiro became Captain-Commander, if he asked for help, would you do it or not?
If you don't help your brother, are you still brothers?
"You..." Looking at the lazy Kyoraku, Yamamoto was so angry his beard and mustache bristled!
However, Kyoraku shrank his neck and said nothing more.
As long as he was slacker enough, no one could make him work… a principle that Kyoraku displayed vividly, leaving people speechless with admiration.
"Heh!" Seeing this, Sora said nothing more and looked towards Ukitake.
"Captain Ukitake, are you ready?" Sora asked seriously.
"What preparations are needed?" Ukitake replied equally seriously.
Even though the hope he had held for years was right before his eyes, he still maintained restraint, which was surprising.
"Heh, no need for anything!" Sora shook his head: "Just be prepared to welcome the new you!"
Facing Ukitake, Sora took out the Hogyoku: "I will heal him perfectly and make him absorb the Soul King's arm within him, making it his own power!"
"Activate!"
Following Sora's words, the power capable of modifying anything surged from the Hogyoku and entered Ukitake's body.
Immediately, Ukitake felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, extremely comfortable.
Simultaneously, the persistent itching in his lungs began to subside.
Ukitake took a deep breath.
An unprecedented sense of ease came over him!
Opposite this ease was an overwhelming feeling of power!
It was the sensation of completely absorbing the Soul King's arm.
It was no exaggeration to say that Ukitake felt his current strength rivaled that of the Captain-Commander.
Of course, he probably wouldn't win in a real fight, after all, his Zanpakuto and combat skills were still lacking.
However, Ukitake was a choice everyone was very satisfied with!
"Good, good, good!" Yamamoto said 'good' three times in a row, showing his affection for Ukitake.
And Ukitake, this somewhat sickly youngest disciple, was indeed Yamamoto's favorite successor.
Because despite his gentle and amiable appearance, when Ukitake truly took on responsibility, no one could stop him.
He was a true man!
Just like Yamamoto himself, which is why he was very confident in Ukitake!
"Let's go!" Yamamoto looked towards Ichibe'e.
Now that the Captain-Commander successor was chosen, he could finally rest assured.
Looking at Yamamoto, Ichibe'e was somewhat surprised: "Not staying a few more days, at least until after the inauguration ceremony?"
Ichibe'e meant whether he wanted to wait a few days so Yamamoto could suppress any nobles who might cause trouble.
However, Yamamoto shook his head: "Not necessary!"
He looked towards the Captains: "None of you have any objections to Ukitake, right? If you do, speak up now!"
Yamamoto said.
And since he had said that, who would dare have an objection?
Moreover, they all had good relationships with Ukitake. Even an ambitious person like Aizen couldn't find fault with Ukitake.
