Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō

Kenpachi Zaraki had always wanted to defeat Masatsuki Aozaki and had challenged him multiple times.

The key issue was that, as a Lieutenant, Gin Ichimaru and Tōshirō Hitsugaya were constantly swamped with work.

Yet Kenpachi?

He did nothing.

This was the information Makoto Kibune had gathered, and from it, he drew a conclusion—

Kenpachi Zaraki had no real authority.

He had been sidelined.

There was no way he and Masatsuki Aozaki could be on good terms.

"Lieutenant Zaraki, you seem a little bored."

"Normally, when Captain Aozaki isn’t around, the squad’s affairs are left to the Lieutenants, aren’t they?"

"I just came from the office. Lieutenant Ichimaru and Lieutenant Hitsugaya were inside, looking incredibly busy."
