Chapter 45
Left Unresolved

“Hey! Kid! You have the potential to become a Shinigami, right?”

Kyoraku Shunsui’s sudden words made Hitsugaya Toshiro stunned.

“What…?”

Kyoraku Shunsui smiled and explained, “You get hungry on a daily basis, right?”

Hitsugaya Toshiro nodded, “Yeah! Actually, I was looking for food with my companion in this area that day!”

“That’s the essential requirement to become a Shinigami!”

Kyoraku Shunsui walked in front of Hitsugaya Toshiro and said to the little kid in front of him, “How about it? Do you want to become a Shinigami? Like Captain Kuchiki…”

The thoughtful Kyoraku Shunsui had already noticed that the little kid in front of him seemed to have a special admiration for Kuchiki Rukia because he was saved by her.

Therefore, whether Hitsugaya Toshiro was already involved in this matter or to recruit talent for the Seireitei, Hitsugaya Toshiro, a soul with the potential to become a Shinigami, should be admitted to the Shin’ō Academy.

This was Kyoraku Shunsui’s consideration from a macroscopic perspective!

At this moment, Hitsugaya Toshiro’s fate was already completely different from the original story!

The Twelfth Division, Technical Development Bureau…

“Captain, it seems there’s nothing we can find!” Shiba Kaien shook his head and said to the Thirteenth Division Captain, Jushiro Ukitake, beside him.

Jushiro Ukitake said indifferently, “That’s to be expected! If anything could be found, then he wouldn’t be Kisuke Urahara!”

“Oh? It seems that Captain Ukitake has already anticipated it!” Nēmu pretended to be surprised.

“Vice-Captain Nēmu, you don’t need to respond to me with such an exaggerated attitude!”

Jushiro Ukitake spoke slowly, then turned around and looked at Nēmu who had been behind them all along.

“When it comes to technical development, I should be on the same front as you. So you don’t need to worry that I will do something about it!”

Hearing Jushiro Ukitake’s words, Nēmu’s exaggerated smile gradually disappeared, and he seemed to start getting serious.

“Interesting! I didn’t expect Captain Ukitake to have such interesting thoughts. I thought you were like the Captain-Commander, an old-fashioned person with a rotten aura.”

Jushiro Ukitake smiled and said nothing, not answering Nēmu’s question directly.

However, Nēmu didn’t care much about it, then he shrugged and said casually, “So, Captain Ukitake, how do you plan to handle this matter regarding Kisuke Urahara?”

“Isn’t the fact already very clear?” Jushiro Ukitake pointed to the information on the experimental table and said, “I haven’t found any evidence in the Technical Development Bureau that Kisuke Urahara is involved in illegal research. Therefore, I believe he is not guilty in this matter.”

“His sin lies in negligence and deliberate absconding!”

Upon hearing Jushiro Ukitake’s conclusion on this matter, Nēmu showed an amused expression.

“Hahaha… I understand!” Nēmu showed a brilliant smile and said to Jushiro Ukitake, “Then, what do you think… about the possibility of me becoming the captain of the Twelfth Division?”

Hearing Nēmu’s words, both explicit and implicit, Jushiro Ukitake understood in his heart what kind of plan this “crazy person” who came out of the Second Division’s “Maggot’s Nest” had in mind.

However, this matter… wasn’t impossible either…

When Jushiro Ukitake walked out of the Twelfth Division’s Technical Development Bureau with his vice-captain, Shiba Kaien, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ise Nanao were waiting for them at the door.

“How did things go on your end? Ukitake.” Kyoraku Shunsui asked first.

The corners of Jushiro Ukitake’s lips curled up slightly, then he leaned close to Kyoraku Shunsui’s ear and whispered, “Nothing was found! As expected, that Urahara fellow is well-hidden.”

“Ah! It seems to be the case!” Kyoraku Shunsui also smiled, then whispered, “I’ve found something on my end, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the current clues seem to point to a type of Hollow!”

“Then, what do you think about Genji’s proposal?”

Facing Kyoraku Shunsui’s words, Jushiro Ukitake asked back, “Shunsui, haven’t you already made up your mind?”

“Hehe…” Kyoraku Shunsui smiled, then said to everyone, “Let’s go! We’re going back! Don’t make Genji wait too long!”

With that, Kyoraku Shunsui and Jushiro Ukitake led Ise Nanao and Shiba Kaien towards the First Division’s quarters.

Before long, inside the First Division quarters, Genji Takamitsu sat on the tatami mat, closing his eyes to rest.

“Knock, knock!”

The sound of the First Division vice-captain, Kusajishi Chojiro, came from outside the door.

“Genji-kun, Captain-Commander Yamamoto requests your presence!”

Genji Takamitsu opened his eyes. He knew the investigation must have yielded some results.

Thinking about this, Genji Takamitsu didn’t hesitate. He stood up with a forceful push of his foot.

He patted his wrinkled clothes, then walked towards the door.

“Shhh”

The door opened, and Kusajishi Chojiro was waiting outside the door.

“Excuse me, Vice-Captain Kusajishi, for making you wait. Let’s go!” Genji Takamitsu bowed his head and said.

Kusajishi Chojiro didn’t say much. He just nodded, turned around, and led Genji Takamitsu toward Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni’s captain’s office.

“Knock, knock!”

“Excuse me!”

Kusajishi Chojiro shouted at the captain’s office, then directly opened the door.

Jushiro Ukitake and Kyoraku Shunsui were standing in front of Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni.

“Captain-Commander!” Genji Takamitsu walked to the middle of Ukitake and Kyoraku, facing Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, and waited for instructions.

After about a minute, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni finished reviewing the report in front of him, then looked up at the young man in front of him.

This young man was quite talented, and many captains took care of him, especially Yoruichi Shihōin, the Fourth Division captain of Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni’s generation, who cared about him the most.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni knew that it was because this young man, named Genji Takamitsu, was worthy of attention for his talent!

However, perhaps because of Genji Takamitsu’s close relationship with many captains, he was involved in the matter of the defection of Captains Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihōin.

But… after listening to the investigation results of Kyoraku Shunsui and Jushiro Ukitake, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni’s intuition told him that there was definitely some danger lurking in this!

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni walked to Genji Takamitsu and said, “After the investigation by Eighth Division Captain Kyoraku Shunsui and Thirteenth Division Captain Jushiro Ukitake, it has been confirmed that you are not involved in the incident of the defection of Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihōin!”

“However…”

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni paused…
