Chapter 7

"Pfft~"

Accompanied by the sound of the blade shattering.

A mist of blood sprayed into the air, and a blood-stained arm flew up into the sky.

"Bang."

Tsunayashiro Tokinada, dressed in noble attire, collapsed heavily to the ground, with the Yanra Kyoten split into two pieces beside him.

He clutched his severed arm tightly, his body curled up like a shrimp, emitting a heart-rending howl!

"Th-this is?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, their brains turning rigid.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada, 3rd Seat of the 6th Division, the sole heir of the Tsunayashiro family, was killed in one strike just like that?

His arm had even been chopped off!

Kuchiki Byakuya stood there blankly, still holding his sword.

Aizen Sosuke, meanwhile, had a faint, amused smile at the corner of his mouth.

"The Tsunayashiro family will absolutely not let this go."

Unohana Retsu frowned deeply, her figure flashing to appear before Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

A greenish light emerged from her body, staunching Tokinada's wound.

The Tsunayashiro family.

That was one of the Four Great Noble Families that had ruled the Soul Society for thousands of years; their power was unimaginable.

Once they flew into a rage, it would be like a landslide or a tsunami; the entire Soul Society would suffer a massive earthquake!

What’s more.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

He was the sole heir of the Tsunayashiro family!

In the entire Soul Society.

Who could touch him, who would dare to touch him?

Yet now.

An arm had actually been severed! Half the man was effectively ruined!

Even Unohana Retsu.

Could not help but admire Kuchiki Senya's courage.

"However, by doing this, you have gone a bit too far..."

"At the very least, you should have controlled your strength and left some room for reconciliation."

Unohana Retsu sighed, walked up to Kuchiki Senya, and said softly.

Next would be the power struggle between the Kuchiki family and the Tsunayashiro family.

Captain-level figures could not stir up the slightest ripple in the face of a chess match between these two behemoth families.

"When stepping on an ant, it is quite difficult to control one's strength so as not to crush it to death."

Kuchiki Senya merely shook his head.

There was not the slightest trace of regret on his face.

Tokinada was the heir of the Tsunayashiro family, but was he himself not the heir of the Kuchiki family!

The current Tsunayashiro Tokinada had not fully developed at all, and his Yanra Kyoten had only reached the Shikai level.

He was more than a street away from his late-stage form as the ultimate big boss who could fuse the abilities of various Zanpakuto.

He was a total waste.

Heaven-Severing Myriad Phenomena.

It was worthy of being the sharpest Zanpakuto; even without using Shikai, it could sever the Yanra Kyoten in one strike!

"An ant..."

"Truly arrogant."

"The matter has already occurred."

"Next, we shall see how the Central 46 decides."

Unohana Retsu shook her head.

She signaled to her subordinates to place Tsunayashiro Tokinada on a stretcher and carry him back to the 4th Division for emergency treatment.

Before leaving.

Unohana Retsu looked at Kuchiki Senya, gently stroking the hilt of her Zanpakuto.

A strange light flickered in her eyes; she seemed to have an urge to test her skills.

That strike of Senya's just now.

Her subordinates could not understand it.

But she was a master of swordsmanship herself.

Naturally, she saw the traces of Kuchiki Senya's strike.

There was nothing else to it.

It was just extreme speed and extreme sharpness!

Abandoning all complexity, pursuing the ultimate lethality!

What exactly was the ability of his Zanpakuto? And to what extent had his own strength reached?

This was the question in everyone's mind present.

However.

That was no longer important.

Unohana Retsu shook her head gently, her eyes fixed on Kuchiki Senya.

"Perhaps he can bring me some pleasure."

After her narrow defeat to Zaraki Kenpachi.

This was the second man who had made her want to cross blades.

"Then we shall take our leave," Unohana Retsu said softly, then turned and left.

She wanted to be as far away from this mess as possible.

Since it involved the Four Great Noble Families, this was no longer something they could handle.

"I've been targeted by Lady Unohana."

Kuchiki Senya smiled lightly; how could he not understand the look in her eyes just now?

This First Kenpachi.

The warlike genes in her body could not be hidden.

Her lifelong pursuit was the ultimate slaughter, enjoying the pleasures of life amidst blood and gore.

The reason she had become so gentle.

Was simply because no one had piqued her interest in fighting before.

011, A Ruined Heir, Without Any Value

"Let's go back first and see what the situation is in the family."

Tsunayashiro Tokinada was seriously injured; the Soul Society would soon fall into a period of turmoil.

The Kuchiki family would also be greatly affected.

Kuchiki Senya ignored the crowd, who were in a state of great shock, turned around, and walked in the direction of the Kuchiki family.

Soul Society.

The news spread like locusts, instantly setting off a huge storm!

The news that Tsunayashiro Tokinada had been seriously injured by Kuchiki Senya spread from the school to the entire Seireitei in less than an hour!

Noble District.

This was also under the jurisdiction of the 6th Division, a gathering place for the famous and prominent nobles of the entire Seireitei.

At this moment.

The massive mansion, like a giant beast, lay across the crisscrossing streets.

From the outside, it looked like a nation within a nation.

The interior was luxuriously decorated; even the ordinary window frames were made of agarwood.

Everywhere reveals an atmosphere of extreme extravagance.

Servants and maids are dense, and the division of labor is orderly.

The towering gold-inlaid gate is engraved with the family crest of the Tsunayashiro family.

This is one of the Four Great Noble Families of Soul Society.

It is also the Tsunayashiro family that manages the Great Spiritual Library and is in charge of all history and information in Soul Society!

However.

At this time, the Tsunayashiro family, accompanied by a stretcher covered in bandages and blood, was carried in.

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive, a scene of a storm about to come.

In the spacious conference room.

High-level officials gathered together, all serious-looking middle-aged men or old men with hunched forms.

The atmosphere was extremely stagnant, like the precursor to a volcanic eruption.

Tsunayashiro family council!

Similar to the Central 46.

This is the highest power organization of the Tsunayashiro family, and major decisions are made by the family council.

"What are your thoughts on Tokinada’s matter?"

At the head.

A middle-aged man with a cold face said coldly.

The head of the Tsunayashiro family, and also Tsunayashiro Tokinada’s father.

At this moment.

His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and his body was trembling slightly because of the anger like a vast ocean.

"Kuchiki Senya must be punished!" The people below were red-faced and excited.

The noise in the meeting place was endless.

The only heir of the family was actually cut off an arm and seriously injured by Kuchiki Senya in public; this is a shame!

The shame of the whole family!

An unbearable loss!

Although.

The Tsunayashiro family is prosperous.

However, among the clansmen, there are also three, six, and nine grades.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada is equivalent to the prince of the Tsunayashiro family!

He is the only heir with the most noble status and the most qualified to inherit the position of the head of the Tsunayashiro family!

Now.

His right arm was cut off, and half of him was ruined!

Even if the murderer is the heir of the Kuchiki family, he must pay the price!

The head of the Tsunayashiro family nodded gently.

The lights in the meeting place gradually dimmed, and further discussions began.

……

Lake.

Lonely island.

Wrapped in thick walls, inside is a huge circular building.

Central 46!

Composed of forty sages and six judges gathered from all over Soul Society.

It is the highest judicial organ in Soul Society!

It is a collective council composed of nobles and elders!

The sins committed by Soul Reapers in Soul Society or the real world will be judged by the Central 46.

If it is determined that force needs to be used, orders will be issued to the 13th Division or other executive units through secret message tunnels using secret order talismans.

Once a judgment has been made, even Captain-Commander Yamamoto is not allowed to raise objections.

The approval process and method are extremely rigid, and the judges of the Central 46 give people the feeling of being self-willed and lacking human touch, so they are very unpopular.

But the Royal Guard is not led by the Central 46, but directly under the command of the Royal Family.

At this moment.

In the empty conference room, candles flickered.

Around the huge round table, forty-six old-looking, stiff-faced people sat around.

It was quiet.

Watching the image of Kuchiki Senya severing Enrakyoten with one strike and Tsunayashiro Tokinada’s head flying off in the pleasure district.

Invincible.

Sharpness.

Young, he showed a different kind of master spirit!

"Kuchiki Senya, potential evaluation, Soul Reaper limit." At the head, an old man announced expressionlessly.

"Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is already old, and now Soul Society needs a powerhouse to shoulder the next thousand years."

"For Kuchiki Senya, whether to use the foundation to control or to win over, vote now."

The people below were silent.

Only casting their votes in a pitch-black box.

"Count the votes."

"Seven abstentions, thirty-nine votes for control."

Above.

The judge nodded.

Those who abstained were from the Kuchiki family, but they would rather abstain than win him over...

This represents.

They have already made a choice.

Very wise.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also violated the orders of the Central 46 when he was young, which has already caused their dissatisfaction.

For such top combat power, the consequences of losing control are too terrifying.

The best choice is to firmly grasp him in their hands!

As for Tsunayashiro Tokinada, no one mentioned him.

A ruined heir has no value.

012, Can't do anything, but number one at eating

Gotei 13, Headquarters.

This is the gathering place of the 13th Division, the largest and strongest armed organization in Soul Society!

It is also the safest place in the Seireitei, except for the Soul King Palace.

"Captain-Commander, that’s how it is."

Unohana Retsu said respectfully, beside her was Kyoraku Shunsui, who looked like a salted fish, and Ukitake Jushiro, who was also slacking off.

Everyone looked up, at an old man who was withered and bald.

Leaning on a brown cane, looking like he was dying, weak and unbearable, only a pair of eyes were extremely deep, as if seeing through the vicissitudes of the world.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!

The founder of the Gotei 13, Captain-Commander, and the strongest Soul Reaper in a thousand years!

His Ryujin Jakka is also the oldest and most powerful fire-type Zanpakuto in Soul Society!

Since a thousand years ago.

He defeated the Soul King’s son, Yhwach.

The name Genryusai.

Represents the limit of Soul Reapers.
