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.
