Chapter 227: Boredom
"This incident has been a wake-up call. The enemy doesn't always come from outside—many dangers may be lurking within Seireitei itself."
"If the Gotei 13 cannot respond in time when an internal crisis occurs, it could lead to catastrophe, or worse, destabilize it."
"Therefore, my second decision is to establish a Special Security Unit, responsible for the daily defense of the Noble District and noble territories."
With a firm tap of his cane against the ground, Yamamoto's words sent a shock through the captains.
This was bound to cause a major uproar.
The last time the Gotei 13 suggested installing surveillance insects in Seireitei, the noble families fiercely opposed it.
Despite their polished and prestigious facades, they had plenty of dirty secrets they wanted to keep buried. Naturally, they wouldn't allow any measures that risked exposing them.
As a result, the surveillance network only covered the Gotei 13 barracks. This was the very reason the attack on the Tsunayashiro Clan had gone unnoticed—the Gotei 13 had no way of detecting it.
If surveillance had been placed at the Tsunayashiro estate, even without a call for help, the Gotei 13 would have noticed something was wrong.
"The nobles won't agree to this, will they?" Jūshirō Ukitake asked in a hushed voice.
"This time, they have no choice," Yamamoto replied coldly. "I will not allow threats to Seireitei's safety to unfold right under our noses while we remain blind and powerless to act."
