Near the center of Seirei Garden.
This is the resident of Shiba's house.
"Brother, uncle... is he really dead?"
In the yard, a girl with a height of about 1.7 meters, a girl with smart eyes~, asked sadly.
She is Shiba Konghe.
A direct member of the Shiba family.
"I think it should have died in Karakura Town. After all, that is Vasto Lorde-class Arrancar-king Menos Grande..."
In the other direction, Shiba Kaien, dressed in a death tyrant, smiled bitterly.
What is missing?
Those are all excuses and comforting words.
After fighting against the Vasto Lorde-class Arrancar's king-class Menos Grande, he disappeared. There is no possibility of surviving, he is clearly dead.
The disappearance is nothing more than a solace.
"How come, uncle him..."
Hearing this, Shiba Konghe's eyes began to turn red.
There is no denying that Shiba Isshin usually looks like a very unreliable guy.
She is lazy, likes to drink, often skips work openly, and is often admonished by the captain.
However, as a family member and elder, Shiba Isshin is a reliable and responsible man.
Without his care, Shiba Konghe, her brother, and her younger brother would not necessarily be what they are now.
"Leave a mess..."
Shiba Kaien sighed.
Miss Shiba Isshin?
There is no such time.
Having lost the Patriarch Shiba Isshin, as the current Shiba's strongest Shinigami, Shiba Kaien, the deputy captain of the 13th Division, has immediately taken the position of Patriarch.
Now, it's not a time for sadness at all.
Shiba's house, you need to quickly get out of the situation in front of you.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.
"coming."
Shiba Konghe walked up.
In view of what happened to Shiba Isshin, many people have come to condolences in the past few days.
Including captains like Kyoraku Shunsui, as well as patriarchs of various large, medium and small families and many commoners Shinigami.
For these things, she has adapted in a short time.
"Ah you are..."
Pushing the door open, Shiba Konghe was stunned for a moment.
The man in front of him has a stray silver hair, a slightly unruly expression, a slender and tall figure, and an extraordinary dress, looking like the young master of a big family.
There was a smile in his eyes, but Shiba Konghe had a very gloomy feeling.
This man smiled a little fake.
"Sora Tsuru, this is the head of the Tsunayashiro family, Tsunayashiro Tokinada."
Shiba Kaien walked up without a trace of Shiba Kongzuru behind him: "My sister made Tsunaya Dai Patriarch laugh."
"Well, it's okay." The man smiled heartily and pointed to his face: "I don't go out often anyway. It's normal for Miss Shiba Konghe not to know me."
After entering the gate.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada looked around, and then laughed in a low voice, "I took the liberty to visit, I was really bothered, but I was very sad to hear that Captain Shiba Isshin was missing. He was such a good Shinigami. ..."
"Thank you for the concern of the Patriarch Tsunaya. If the uncle knows that so many people care about him, he will be pleased."
Shiba Kaien's heart became more and more sad, but there was a smile on his face.
(Shiba Isshin: Cub, I'm not dead yet, you are relieved to have a hammer!)
"Speaking of which, I have been favored by Shiba Isshin's Patriarch a few years ago."
After sitting down, Tsunayashiro Tokinada took the initiative to bring up the previous events and narrowed the distance between the two sides.
With a smile in his eyes, he familiarly controlled the senses of the two Shiba family members in front of him.
After the sense of distance between the two parties completely disappeared.
Tsuna Yayoi Tokinada knocked on the table lightly, and seemed to point out: "Patriarch Shiba, you just took over as Patriarch, you should feel powerless, right?"
Hearing that, Shiba Kaien, who has already received a lot of affection, nodded and said with emotion: "Before I became the owner of the Patriarch, I never thought that the uncle was under such pressure..."
The glory of the family, the way the family walks, the opportunity for the family to revive.
These are the main things that the family considers.
And these are too heavy.
It was so heavy that he couldn't spare even the sad time.
"But... there is no Captain-level Shinigami in the family, so you must be very embarrassed right now?" Tsunayashiro Tokinada asked with a smile.
The four nobles, why are the four nobles?
It's not just because of the four great nobles, they have existed since the founding of Soul Society.
It is also because of the four nobles, the captain-level Shinigami has never stopped appearing.
For each generation of Patriarch, or among other members of each generation, the four major families will have the captain-level Shinigami, and this is the basis for the four major families to continue to this day.
As long as the leader-level Shinigami exists, other families and nobles will never be able to shake the status of the four nobles.
This is the strategic significance of Captain Shinigami.
"It is true. I can feel that although many people come to condolences us, they actually contain other thoughts."
Shiba Kaien grinned reluctantly.
In just a few days, he has matured a lot.
At the very least, you can feel the maliciousness that comes from the secret.
They want to replace Shiba's house!
And Shiba Kaien, never allow this to happen!
"I will definitely do it, become a captain-level Shinigami, and become a qualified patron."
It seemed to be talking to Tsuna Yayoi Tokinada, and it seemed to be talking to himself.
Shiba Kaien's eyes were firm.
"Ah Le, really good determination."
Tsuna Yayoi Tokinada stared blankly, as if he was admiring him, and then the words changed: "But the Patriarch of the Shiba family, have you considered accepting my help?"
"As a thank you to Captain Shiba Isshin, I have always wanted to find a chance to repay Shiba's family."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada smiled, as if he was really waiting for a chance to repay his favor.
However, Shiba Kaien's face suddenly changed.
He gazed at the smiling man in front of him with a gloomy face, with anger in his eyes.
Accept the help of Tsunayashiro Tokinada?
Repay Shiba's family?
He clearly wanted to take the opportunity to annex the Shiba family and further strengthen the Yayoi family!
"Patriarch Tsunaya, you are not welcome here, please go out."
After figuring out his true purpose, Shiba Kaien's politeness disappeared suddenly, taking out the majesty of the Patriarch, and shouting.
"Oh, that's a pretty good vibe, but that's all, isn't it?"
Tsuna Yayoi Tokinada patted him on the shoulder, grinned, he stopped pretending to be himself, and laughed wantonly.
The captain-level Shinigami has not appeared for several consecutive generations, and the declining family finally appeared a Shiba Isshin, but Shiba Isshin unexpectedly disappeared in this world.
Missing?
In that case, go to the ghost, he is clearly dead in this world.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada was convinced of this, so he came.
Shiba's, it's a piece of fat now.
Compared with the other three families of the four great nobles, the Shiba family has fallen.
The population alone is completely incomparable with other families.
The Shiba family has no more than fifty people.
At present, the Kuchiki family, which is the strongest among the four nobles, has more than hundreds of direct line members, and there is no need to say the number of non-direct line members.
Shihouin's house is also not to be underestimated.
And the Tsunayashiro family, although there are some signs of decline, it is not even better than the Shiba family.
Shiba's house has completely declined.
If this is the case, then all the benefits should be surrendered.
"Patriarch Tsunaya, please leave here immediately. Our Shiba family does not welcome you." Shiba Kaien said with a cold face, suppressing the anger in his heart, and repeating again.
"Hey, don't use that patron's gesture to disgust me, Shiba Kaien."
Tsuna Yayoi Tokinada's face turned cold, but still a weird smile on his face:
"Aren't you really dreaming and want to lead Shiba's family up again?"
"The ability is not enough to control the desire in the heart, it will be very painful."
"You are only a deputy captain, but you can't be a great weapon."
"It's better to hand over the Shiba's clan land, and then move to a place far away from Seireini, and stay there quietly like a mourning dog."
"Sa, what should I do? Think about it carefully?"
At the end of the day, Tsunayashiro Tokinada is almost no longer hiding, and the threat is already very obvious.
"You guy..."
Shiba Kaien's face turned black for a moment. He was already a violent temper, and couldn't bear it anymore. In the smile of Tsunayashiro Tokinada's successful conspiracy, he put his hand on Zanpakutō.
Do you want Shikai?
What a waste that can't stand provocation.
Tsuna Yayoi Tokinada smiled.
But suddenly, his smile froze there.
In my sight, I didn't know when, suddenly an extra person appeared.
His hand, pressed against Shiba Isshin's hand, prevented Shiba Isshin from drawing the sword.
"Now, can Shiba Kaien become a great weapon, then who can say for sure?"
"Besides, where are you from the rubbish, where are you talking?"
Shinji glanced at Shiba Kaien and said slowly.
"You kid..."
Tsuna Yayoi Tokinada's eyelids throbbed, and blue veins burst on his forehead.
Obviously, success is about to happen soon, and Shiba Kaien can't bear it immediately.
There was a fierce flash in his eyes.
But immediately, he frowned slightly.
That clan emblem belongs to the Kuchiki family?
Tsunayashiro Tokinada looked under Kuchiki Shinji's earlobe, where there was a star tong.
The star tongs are special accessories held by the Kuchiki nobles.
And those who can wear star tongs, even in Kuchiki's house, are high-class nobles.
Through the cut tube shape, a bunch of hair is stuffed into it to form a special decoration.
The price of the star tongs is an order of magnitude equal to the price of silver-white wind-spun yarn, and one is equivalent to the price of building more than ten houses.
This is a very rare and precious decoration that can represent identity.
Kuchiki... Shinji?
Kuchiki aristocrat who can wear star tongs, and has such a terrible Shunpo at such a young age, in his intelligence, only Kuchiki Shinji, who messed up the captain assessment in the morning, can do it.
"you are?"
Shiba Kaien looked puzzled.
Shinji waved his hand to interrupt him and looked at Tsunayashiro Tokinada: "Now, I'm asking you, why do you know that Shiba Kaien can't be a great weapon?"
"Isn't that obvious."
Tsuna Yayoi Tokinada's frivolous hand, leaning back on the chair, pointed to Shiba Kaien and squinted Shinji:
"Just like him, who has been at the deputy captain level for hundreds of years, can he master Bankai and become a captain level Shinigami without anyone who has made the slightest progress?"
"The Shiba's house is gone."
"Then don't take up these resources, let it out, bastard!"
At the end, Tsunayashiro Tokinada's expression gradually became grim: "It's you, Kuchiki Shinji, are you questioning me now?"
Pointing to his face, Tsunayashiro Tokinada's eyes were cold: "I am the owner of the Tsunayashiro family, and you are just a member of the shinigami team now? Kuchiki Shinji, what qualifications do you have to question what I am doing?
Anyway, I am also the head of Tsuna Yayoi.
And what is Kuchiki Shinji?
But just a member of the tenth division.
Even if he is a direct line of the Kuchiki family, or even the future head of the Kuchiki family and the captain of the sixth division, that's the future, isn't it?
Such a small character is actually questioning himself?
It's... disgusting!
In the era of Tsuna Yayoi, the horns became more and more obvious, and he stood up:
"Compared to me, you are nothing now."
"Understand who you are, Kuchiki Shinji!"
Just here, a squeaky sound of defending Shinji suddenly sounded.
"Then what if that's the case?"
Huh!
Matsumoto Rangiku stepped on Shunpo and appeared in the room. She glanced at Shinji, took a deep breath, and groaned: "Really, Captain Shinji, why don't you call me when you come to Shiba's house."
"As the deputy captain, but didn't keep up with the captain's footsteps, doesn't it seem that people are negligent?"
When he said this, Matsumoto Rangiku looked at Tsunayashiro Tokinada without a trace, with a trace of anger in his eyes.
She took a few steps forward, opened the warm and scented clothes in her arms, moved closer to Shinji, and helped Shinji dress well.
That is a white Haori coat!
Behind it, the number ten is written!
Sure enough, Yu Jie was the most considerate.
Shinji raised his horns, a smile in his eyes.
then.
Matsumoto Rangiku turned around, facing Tsunayashiro Tokinada, her expression was no longer as soft and soft as she had just been, but she yelled hard:
"Patriarch of the Tsunayashiro family, what you said just now, can I regard it as a provocation to Juban Captain Kuchiki Shinji?"
"The captain who provokes others in front of others, as the deputy captain, I can't ignore it."
Speaking of this, Matsumoto Rangiku paused slightly and said with a slight disdain:
"Moreover, I understand my identity, the head of the Tsunayashiro family."
"The adult in front of you was appointed by Yamamoto's chief captain himself. The new captain of the shinigami division, Kuchiki Shinji!"
Matsumoto Rangiku gave a single word, with an extremely tough attitude, like a lioness guarding her cub, staring fiercely at Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
"..."
Tsunayashiro Tokinada's face kept twitching, and finally turned into a relaxed smile.
"Well, everyone is so excited and doing what, I'm just joking." He looked at Shiba Kaien and joked, "With the help of Captain Kuchiki Shinji, it seems that you are not as incompetent as I thought. It."
After speaking, he got up and said goodbye.
When he left the room, Tsunayashiro Tokinada paused slightly: "Kuchiki's house, I'll wait and see."
"One more sentence, I will kill you now."
Shinji said blankly.
An energetic Reiatsu burst out in an instant, covering the entire Shiba house in an instant.
But the weird thing is that no one from Shiba's family is oppressed by Shinji's Reiatsu.
Only Tsunayashiro Tokinada suddenly staggered and almost fell to his knees.
The bones all over his body made an overwhelmed sound of clicking, and even his face turned red in an instant.
Suffocating, dull, unable to think.
This kind of absolute oppression from the soul and higher levels of life, it seems that this kid from the Kuchiki family has indeed already possessed the Captain-level Reiatsu.
Tsuna Yayoi Tokinada's mouth kept twitching, and his body was trembling.
"Heh~"
Reluctantly let out an almost distorted laugh, Tsuna Yayoi's face was gloomy, and a Shunpo left Shiba's house.
"The bereaved dog."
Staring at his back, Shinji commented slowly.
I don't know if it is an illusion.
Shiba Kaien suddenly saw Tsunayashiro Tokinada's body seemed to froze for a moment, and finally disappeared from their sight.
"Captain Shinji."
At this time, Shiba Kaien hurriedly saluted Shinji with a respectful and grateful expression.
For Kuchiki Shinji's relief, Shiba Kaien is really grateful from the heart.
In the corner of the room, Shiba Sorazuru sneaked out his head and looked at Shinji curiously.
Is this teenager who looks about her age already the captain?
"Shiba Kaien, don't be so polite with me."
Shinji waved his hand with a complicated expression, and said slowly in the same complicated expression of Matsumoto Rangiku.
"Now, I owe an old man, a huge debt of favor..."
