Division 13·Team building, Yugan Hall.

Ukitake Jushiro sat on the futon, coughing lightly and asked: "Haiyan, hasn't the investigation team reported yet?"

"Well..." Shiba Haiyan frowned slightly and replied: "We have sent out all the existing patrol teams, they should be back soon!"

"Cough, cough...that's good!" Ukitake Jushiro nodded and sighed: "Thanks to you being here, Haiyan, otherwise I don't know how long I can last with my sickly body."

"Captain! Why are you saying such things?" Shiba Haiyan said dissatisfied: "It was because of you, Captain, that I joined the Gotei 13th Division!"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to still remember that thing. Cough, cough." Jushiro Ukitake chuckled a few times, and when he was about to say something more, he suddenly saw Sentaro Kotsubaki barging in and shouting in panic: "Captain, no, this is terrible!"

"What?"

"Adamaru's investigation team encountered a false attack of unknown origin in District 46 of Higashi Rukongai and suffered heavy casualties!" Sentaro Kotsubaki shouted.

"Damn it, what about the patrol team?" Shiba Haiyan asked hurriedly.

"After receiving the emergency distress signal, East Tour Group 3, Group 7, Group 9, Group 11, and Group 15 have all rushed there! But..." Sentaro Kochun suddenly lowered his voice and said An expression of hesitation to speak.

"But what?!" Shiba Haiyan asked.

"But, another piece of information just came...the patrol team that went to support was completely wiped out..." Sentaro Kotsubaki timidly replied.

"What?!" Not only Shiba Haiyan, but also Ukitake Jushiro couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up and said: "Let everyone step back, I will go and see for myself!"

"Captain?! Your body-"

"It's okay! If something like this happened, it was my fault as a captain! So no matter what, I can't let my subordinates sacrifice anymore!" Jushiro Ukitake said in a deep voice.

"Sentaro...where is the investigation team in Tokyo?" Shiba Haiyan suddenly asked.

"Before the signal came, we were purifying the void in District 39 of Higashi Rukongai... Now, it's probably possible -" Kotsubaki Sentaro lost his voice at the end. Apparently he also realized something:

Shiba didn't rise to the top with his beauty and background like some Shinigami, but relied on his own strength step by step to sit in the third seat of the Thirteenth Division——

Coupled with her cheerful and gentle personality, she is like a close sister in the squad, so she is very popular in the 13th squad and everyone respects her.

Shiba also values ​​the bond between her companions, so after learning that the investigation team was killed, she will definitely go to support Higashi Rukongai District 46!!

"..." Shiba Haiyan's expression on Kotsubaki Sentaro's demeanor confirmed his guess. He was very worried about the safety of Shiba City, so he picked up his Zanpakutō and walked out the door.

"Haiyan, don't be impulsive!" Jushiro Ukitake urged urgently: "The enemy's ability is unknown. If you go there rashly, I'm afraid you will be plotted! It's better for me to go!"

"Captain! If this is true... then this is my family matter! Please, let me go alone!" Shiba Haiyan said word by word.

"Haiyan..." Jushiro Ukitake also knew that Shihato and Shiba Haiyan had a deep love for each other. The reason why they never got married was because he wanted to witness their marriage after his health improved:

But now, if Zhiba really encounters misfortune, then he has really failed as a captain——

If he loses Shiba Haiyan, a capable subordinate, because of this, then his own sins will be countless!

So Ukitake Jūshirō hesitated for a moment: After all, a Hollow who could sneak into Soul Society quietly and kill dozens of Shinigami was definitely not a simple thing. I am afraid that Shiha Haiyan alone would not be able to deal with it...

"Captain! I have made up my mind, please don't stop me!" Shiba Haiyan said with a gloomy face, holding his Zanpakutō tightly and slowly walked outside.

Jūshirō Ukitake was worried, but he followed Shiba Kaien and left Ugando. He saw Rukia Kuchiki and Zennosuke Kurutani walking into the team building with the injured Nanami Heizo in their arms.

"Rukia?" Shiba Haiyan's eyes lit up, he rushed over and grabbed Kuchiki Rukia's shoulders, urging: "What happened?"

"We encountered a very strange Hollow... It can not only hide the spiritual pressure, but also make the Zanpakutō disappear..." Rukia Kuchiki recalled with lingering fear.

"What?! Make the Zanpakutō disappear... This is the first time I've heard of such an ability!" Jushiro Ukitake muttered to himself.

"Then what happened? How did you escape? Where are you all? Have you seen them all?" Zhiba Haiyan asked repeatedly.

"Master Haiyan, the Kyon who caused trouble in Rukongai has been killed by Miss Kuchiki! As for Master Miyako... I'm sorry, we didn't see him." Zennosuke Kurutani said first.

"Huh?" Shiba Kaiyan and Ukitake Jushiro were very surprised. A Hollow of that level might not even be an opponent for the vice-captain, but Rukia Kuchiki could actually defeat it?

"Yes, Captain... I can prove it too." Nanami Heizo said with difficulty.

"Ah? That's not the case, Taichi did it!" Rukia Kuchiki's face turned red and she quickly defended.

"Taiichi? Are you the new companion we recruited?" Ukitake Jushiro was a little unfamiliar with this name and turned to look at Shiba Haiyan.

"Yes, Captain!" Shiba Haiyan nodded, then thought for a moment and said: "Before graduation, he had already condensed the Zanpakutō."

"Oh?" Jushiro Ukitake glanced at Rukia Kuchiki in surprise, and then asked Shiba Haiyan: "So, how was his joining test, and what is his current seat?"

"Eh...according to the comprehensive evaluation report issued by the corps, Taichi Feng Shen has a grade of C and is not qualified to serve as a chief officer." Shiba Haiyan recalled.

"Oh, it seems that Taichi's Zanpakutō ability is limited." Ukitake Jushiro sighed slightly, then looked at Kuchiki Rukia and said: "Rukia, you did a good job!"

"Hi..." It was the first time Rukia Kuchiki received a compliment from a captain-level Shinigami, so she was a little shy and reserved. She responded softly and said nothing more.

"Sentaro, go to Division 4 and ask Captain Unohana to assign some team members to go to Rukongai to treat the injured comrades!

Kiyone, please ask Captain Shiba of the 10th Division to send some team members to accompany you and go to search and rescue together!" Ukitake Jushiro said to Kotsubaki Sentaro and Kotetsu Kiyone.

"Hi!" Sentaro Kotsubaki responded solemnly, and then he and Kotetsu Kiyone left the team building and went to the Fourth Division and the Tenth Division respectively...

Theoretically, it would be more appropriate for the third or fifth division team to do the search and rescue team's work——

But Ukitake Jushiro was not familiar with their captains Ichimaru Gin and Aizen, so he could only ask the captain Shiba Isshin, who had a better relationship with him, to help...

"Team, Captain! I'm back, I'm back——", the Death God of the reconnaissance team, Ryuhide Kojiro, ran into the team building and shouted to Ukitake Jushiro.

"What?"

"Master, you are back!" Ryuhide Kojiro said in surprise.

"Ha?! Are you all okay? Great!!" Shiba Haiyan rushed out of the team building, only to see Shiba walking slowly towards here with the support of Feng Shen Taichi!

"Are you okay, everyone?" Shiba Haiyan took three steps at a time to meet him. After taking Shiba Dou from Feng Shen Taiyi's hand, he asked with concern.

"Haiyan, I'm fine...it's just that my spiritual power has been consumed too much and I feel a little tired." Zhibo replied with difficulty.

"Okay, I'll take you to rest!" Zhiba Haiyan picked up Zhibo and hurried back to the team building lounge, and then asked someone to ask the members of the fourth team to recuperate for her.

During this period, Shiba Haiyan also learned that it was Taichi, the God of Wind, who rescued the dying Shiba City from Metastasia, and a wonderful idea suddenly came to his mind!

Not long after, Hanataro Yamada, the seventh seat of the Fourth Division, rushed over. After carefully checking Shiba, he confirmed that the latter was fine and only needed to rest for a few days.

So Shiba Haiyan sent Yamada Hanataro away with great gratitude, and then rushed over quickly. Looking at the handsome Fuugami Taichi, he felt more and more that his idea was feasible.

So he pulled Feng Shen Taiyi aside and asked: "Taiyi, do you want to become a great noble?"

"ha?"

"Just asking if you want it or not?"

"Of course I want to!", Taichi Feng Shen replied without hesitation. Since he has set the "strongest captain" as his evolutionary goal, he will naturally become a "transcendent" new noble in Soul Society!

"OK! Although our Shiba family is in some decline now, the title of great noble is still there——"

Shiba Haiyan smiled and hooked Feng Shen Taichi's shoulder, and said: "Then, you will become my sister-in-law and marry into our Shiba family!"
