A Shinobi Awakens - Chapter 91 The Restructure Of The Gotei 13
In the Captain’s meeting Tatsuo continued to layout his directive.
“Alongside the Kido Corps, and The Onmitsukido(Stealth Force), there will be a new force that will consist of Arrancar that hove completed closing their holes gaining their Zanpakuto. As well as Arrancar that were naturally created as the Artificial ones Aizen created still have many of their Hollow tendences which could lead to unrest in the Soul Society. This unit will be known as Miotoshi, their main tasks will be searching for natural Arrancar as well as training the Soul Reapers of 10th Seat and above to use their Shikai, While those 5th Seat and above will be trained to use Bankai if they already know Shikai. They will be the first line of defense in the Soul Society operating under Division 1.”
“Sir, wouldn’t that cause a disturbance between ranks? As till now only Captains were required to have Bankai.” -Captain Hitsugaya
“Little Shiro, the Head Captain did not say it was required but he did say it would be nice for those seated officers to have.” -Captain Shiba
“Right, As in the case of Division 6 Lieutenant Renji Abarai and Division 11 3rd Seat Ikkaku Madarame. However, That also means that Division 11 Captain Kenpachi Zaraki must learn both Shikai and Bankai as it is required for the Rank. Starting next week, I will personally train you. Actually the current power of the Gotei 13 is unacceptable, even if all 12 of you attacked me I wouldn’t even need to release my Zanpakuto to repel you all. Before Captain Ichimaru’s training with me he, including all of you in this room would not have even been enough to defeat Aizen. Therefore, All Captains of the Gotei 13 will undergo extensive Training as well. If the Gotei 13 cannot function with it’s intended purpose in mind then it has no reason to exist.”
His words caused all the Captains in the room to reflect with the exception of Captain Zaraki, he had a frown on his face before he spoke out.
“Huh, What does a kid like you have to teach me?”
“Ho Ho, This is the First time in the Thousand years of my life someone has said that to me. Captain Zaraki in terms of Raw power you excel over the rest of the Captains, yet if you were to face the Captains of Divisions 3,4,5,8,9, or 13 You would die and that is a fact. If you faced me you would die before you even knew how you died, therefore save your Arrogant attitude for someone that actually gives a fuck.”
When Tatsuo said that Zaraki had no words to retort because he neglected two facts: 1) The oldest person in the room was the Head Captain. 2) It was True that in raw power he had the advantage but if he were to truly face the captains he listed he could not guarantee his survival
“Moving on, as the Lieutenant of Division 1 Chojiro Sasakibe has retired after the death of Head Captain Yamamoto, The 3rd Seat of the 1st Division, Genshiro Okikiba, will take his place as Lieutenant. Taking the position of 3rd seat of the 1st Division will be Ulquiorra Cifer, He will also be the 2nd in command of the Miotoshi.”
The doors of the room opened as Ulquiorra entered, His mask remnant and his Hollow hole were gone leaving behind a Pale faced Soul Reaper wearing Black Arrancar garbs. His light blue Arrancar Zanpakuto Mercielago was at his waist along with his dark blue Soul Reaper Zanpakuto Raijin. He walked to stand behind Tatsuo, then assumed a kneeling position, as a 3rd Seat he was not permitted to stand during a Captains Meeting.
“The Lieutenant Vacancy of the 13th Division must be filled as soon as possible Captain Ukitake, also stay back after this as I have something to discuss with you.”
“Yes sir.”
“Moving on the 3rd Seat vacancies of The 3rd Division, 5th Division, 6th Division, 7th Division, 8th Division, 9th Division, and 10th Division must all be filled. After the Promotion of the former holders of those seats or other circumstances they have been left vacant for many years. All officer seats must be filled with competent Individuals to have the Gotei 13 operating at full capacity with a cohesive chain of command.”
‘”Yes,Sir”‘
“Captain Shiba, your son would make a good fit for Third Seat, how about it?”
“Indeed Sir, now that he is a Shiba living in the Soul Society there is no need for him to be a Substitute Soul Reaper anymore.”
“Good, Then the Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo Shiba has been promoted to the 3rd Seat of the 5th Division. Are there any objections?”
Tatsuo looked around the room as everyone stayed silent.
“Captain Urahara, I’m sure you have met Szayelaporro Granz, What do you think of him?”
“I think his mind would be a great asset to the Gotei 13, while his fighting prowess could rival some Captains. He would make an excellent fit to the 9th Division.”
“Very well, I will follow your suggestion. For the other Captains with Vacant officer seats I have a few individuals in mind that sound help ease your troubles. I will set up an opportunity for you to meet this individuals before listening to your decision. Dismissed.”
The Captains all bowed then returned to their respective divisions with the exception of Division 13 Captain.
“Captain Ukitake, I understand your plight, you do not have many years remaining. That is why I would like you to begin training your replacement. In your Squad there is only one that has the Ability of a Lieutenant however does not have that position. I would like you to train her alongside Captain Kuchiki to make Her the Captain of Squad 13.”
“Yes sir.”
Tatsuo begin his restructuring of the Gotei 13 with this step, with this they should be more prepared for what is to come.
