Return to Soul Society.
For Mazuru, there is no sense of revisiting old places.
After all, shinigami's life is too long.
The lifespan of an ordinary soul is about the same as that of ordinary people in the present world, but the soul with spiritual power, because of the spiritual power in the body makes the aging speed is slower and slower. Mazuru has been in Hueco Mundo for more than a hundred years, and he has always been a very youthful person. He looks like a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, and the years he has spent in Soul Society plus the present world are less than one-tenth of the years he has spent in Hueco Mundo.
From the outside, his appearance has not changed in the slightest.
But in terms of identity, he changed shortly after returning to Soul Society.
Jushiro recommended Mazuru to the head-captain to become the vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division.
The position of vice-captain of the Thirteenth division has been vacant for a long time, and the captain Jushiro is not in good health. Usually, many team affairs are shared by a group of senior officers.
Head-captain Yamamoto certainly knows that Jushiro has always wanted to find a qualified vice-captain to help him share some burden.
As a result, he did not expect that Jushiro would recommend Mazuru!
Mazuru, he had heard a little bit that a genius among the young juniors had good strength, but the shortcoming was that he was too young, but after thinking about it for a while, he still agreed to this matter.
It is just a vice-captain, not the captain.
The promotion ceremony to the captain level needs to be witnessed by several captains in person, and you have to test the strength of the opponent, whether you have mastered Bankai, well, sometimes it doesn't matter if you don't have Bankai, as long as you can have the strength of the captain level, you can also become the captain by exception.
However, most shinigami only possess captain-level strength after mastering Bankai.
There are not many shinigami like the one in Zaraki District in the entire Soul Society!
With a flick of a pen, Yamamoto Genryūsai agreed to Jushiro Ukitake's application.
Afterwards, the entire Gotei 13 knew that the Thirteenth Division had a new vice-captain.
"Congratulations!"
In a restaurant, Nanao congratulated Mazuru. Mazuru has been in the present world for several years. After returning, Nanao's appearance still has not changed at all. One doesn't know when she will mature.
But Shinigami itself is different from ordinary human beings. It may be a child at this moment, and it may grow up instantly at the next moment.
"Thanks."
Mazuru smiled at Nanao, and after he had nothing to do, he carefully looked at Nanao.
Feeling Mazuru's gaze, Nanao couldn't help lowering her head, her face flushed slightly.
When the two of them get along, most of them seem very quiet. In the past, they read books together. Today, Nanao actually brought a book, but because of Mazuru's gaze, Nanao has no intention of reading at the moment.
Leaving the building, and sending Nanao back to the Eighth Division, Mazuru turned and left, ready to go back to his own squad.
"Mazuru-kun, congratulations."
A gentle voice sounded next to Mazuru's ear, Mazuru turned his head and saw Aizen's figure.
At this time, Aizen has not shown his sharpness after the judgment of Soul Society in the future. No matter when and where, he looks very gentle.
"Vice-captain Aizen!" Mazuru turned half his body to let Aizen walk over, because he was in Seireitei, so he changed his address to Aizen accordingly.
"I said at the beginning that with your aptitude, I'm afraid you can become the vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division in a short time. Now it seems that I was right." Aizen laughed.
Mazuru said, "Then I borrowed the good words from Vice-captain Aizen, do you want me to treat to a drink?"
Aizen shook his head and said, "Forget about drinking, but is Mazuru-kun going to accompany me to Rukongai if you have time?"
Rukongai, is another big experimental site for Aizen besides Hueco Mundo.
In other words, most of his experiments at this time were secretly carried out in Rukongai.
Mazuru thought that Aizen invited him to Rukongai for some experiments, but he did not refuse, so he followed Aizen to Rukongai.
There are four major districts in Rukongai, each with 80 districts.
At the beginning, Mazuru fought against the future Zaraki Kenpachi in the Zaraki District of the North 80th District. Now Aizen brought him to the South 64th District. The district is so prone to life and death.
"What did Vice-captain Aizen bring me here for?" After coming here, Mazuru asked.
Aizen looked at the completely different environment in front of him and inside Seireitei, and said softly: "When people die in the present world, they will either be reduced to the food of the hollows, or become hollows, if they become neither of the two, then after the burial, they will come to the Soul Society and live together in this Rukongai."
"In Rukongai, most of them are ordinary souls, but occasionally there are some souls with spiritual power. These souls, after some training, can become shinigami."
"The shinigami of the Gotei 13 Division, except for some nobles who have been rooted in it for generations, most of them were born from Rukongai."
"It seems that becoming a shinigami is a way for Rukongai's soul to change their destiny, but the fact is that even if they become a shinigami, among the Seireitei, it is still inferior to those nobles who have mastered power from generation to generation."
"How could the Vice-captain Aizen express such emotion suddenly." Mazuru took a deep look at Aizen, a little curious.
"I just heard a story recently." Aizen said lightly.
"What story?"
"A female Shinigami who was born in Rukongai married into a nobleman by chance, but she was murdered by her husband because she blamed her husband. The friend of the female Shinigami in Rukongai went to the nobleman to ask for guilt because of this matter in hopes of fair judgement, on the contrary, he was severely injured by that nobleman."
"Even after this incident, Captain Shunsui of the Eighth Division reported him, and Central 46 tried the case, but the punishment imposed on the culprit who killed his wife privately was only to order his family to put him under house arrest."
Aizen tells the story.
Mazuru also remembered something Nanao told him recently.
"It's that noble named Tsunayashiro Tokinada?"
"That's right, the four families with the closest relationship with the royal family and the longest inheritance of the Soul Society are called the Four Great Nobles. The Tsunayashiro family is the one that manages the corridor of the Great Spirit Book."
While talking about this, Aizen led Mazuru through Rukongai, and finally, before coming to a dilapidated wooden house, he gently pushed open the door of the wooden house.
Inside the wooden house, a man with brown skin, purple mid-length hair, and goggles was lying on a wooden bed. He was seriously injured, but even so, his hand was still tightly holding a Zanpakuto.
