The entire Hidden Mobile Unit is divided into five divisions.
The first division is the combat unit, also known as the Xing Army.
Each member is an elite, skilled in infiltration, assassination, and intelligence gathering. They sometimes appear on the frontlines, engaging in combat with Hollows.
Traditionally, the commander of the Hidden Mobile Unit also serves as the commander of the Xing Army, just like how Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni served as both the captain-commander and the captain of the First Division.
The division of authority within the Hidden Mobile Unit is complex, like a joint-stock company, with the Gotei 13 and the major noble families being shareholders.
The Shihouin family is the largest shareholder.
With Suì-Feng taking over the Second Division and the Xing Army, the Gotei 13 has essentially inherited the Shihouin family's "shares," significantly strengthening their control over the Hidden Mobile Unit.
Therefore, Uehara Byakuya's position as an inspector holds considerable weight.
The second division of the Hidden Mobile Unit is the police patrol unit, responsible for patrolling the Seireitei, monitoring and even arresting Shinigami of the Gotei 13.
The third division is the inspection unit, responsible for guarding the prisoners in the "Worm's Nest."
The former captain of the Twelfth Division, Kisuke Urahara, was the captain of the third division.
During his tenure, Kisuke Urahara released Nēmu from the "Worm's Nest" and made him the deputy director of the Research and Development Institute.
The fifth division is the Riten Team, responsible for relaying messages, specializing in delivering Level 1 restricted orders and reports jointly submitted by two or more captains.
Their speed and accuracy far surpass that of the Hell Butterfly.
The fourth division is complex, belonging to private noble armies, consisting primarily of death warriors, hired assassins, retired Xing Army members, and so on.
In short, regardless of the other divisions, the Xing Army is crucial, possessing the strongest combat ability and the highest authority.
After listening to Suì-Feng's introduction, Uehara Byakuya nodded, calmly saying, "Then summon the Xing Army. I've been taken care of for so many days, it's time to return the favor."
The Hidden Mobile Unit is somewhat similar to the former Imperial Guard and MI7.
They possess many secrets and have higher authority than other divisions.
Therefore, in the past, the Xing Army dared to secretly track him, a seventh seat of the First Division.
If it weren't for the orders from the Central 46 and Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, Suì-Feng wouldn't have bowed to him.
Although Suì-Feng did faithfully carry out the captain-commander's orders, she only mentioned some commonplaces.
The truly critical parts, Suì-Feng didn't mention a word.
However, Uehara Byakuya didn't mind.
In the end, Suì-Feng reluctantly summoned the elite of the Xing Army.
…
Half a day later, on the training ground, Uehara Byakuya, spotless and immaculate, looked at the group of elite Xing Army members lying on the ground, and asked in confusion:
"Is that it?
The Xing Army, known as the 'Street-Cleaning Tigers' of Seireitei, feared by all Shinigami, is this their level?
Who gave you the courage to track me before?"
He then glanced at Suì-Feng, seemingly intentionally and unintentionally.
"..." Suì-Feng clenched her fists.
A few days ago, she used the Xing Army to threaten him.
Now, she's been "beaten at her own game" in the Xing Army headquarters, feeling deep humiliation.
At this moment, even Yoruichi's bloody "betrayal" didn't feel as painful.
But even so, she couldn't attack Uehara Byakuya.
Because that would be disrespecting the captain-commander and the Central 46.
At the same time, several elite Xing Army members who were originally filled with resentment lowered their heads helplessly.
The situation was too strong, there was nothing they could do.
Besides, in a place like the Xing Army, it was always the victor who reigned supreme and the strong who ruled.
They were all combined not even a finger to him, what was there to be resentful about?
"Not bad, it seems you still have hope, unlike your captain." Seeing these Xing Army members being so understanding, Uehara Byakuya stopped there. "Captain Suì-Feng, don't just stand there, haven't you seen your men are injured? Quickly call the Fourth Division.
We leaders need to be considerate of our subordinates.
Captain Suì-Feng, you need to be more careful!"
"..." Suì-Feng had never wanted to beat someone up so badly.
Her fists were clenched hard!
She unknowingly reached a mutual understanding with Yoruichi.
Both of them had specially prepared a small notebook for Uehara Byakuya, each recording every debt.
One day, they would collect it all with interest.
…
First Division barracks, Uehara Byakuya was reporting his thoughts on the Second Division to the stoic Yamamoto:
"I think this Xing Army is really good, they are all talented, and they talk so nicely."
"?" Suì-Feng, who had been expressionless, showed a puzzled expression.
Didn't you beat a group of elite Xing Army members? What's the point of saying this?
Is Uehara Byakuya showing off his strength?
Considering his age, his talent and strength were indeed remarkable.
Suì-Feng was secretly shocked by this.
She just didn't want to show it.
Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni tapped his cane: "Get to the point!"
He was getting old, and couldn't keep up with the younger generation's thinking.
However, when he was young, he didn't seem to be able to keep up with this kid's thinking either.
Noticing the old man's gaze, Uehara Byakuya didn't dare to slack off and quickly said:
"Actually, I think these talents shouldn't be wasted.
Seireitei is short-handed, I suggest drafting elite members of the Xing Army to form a special force, to be the vanguard in the expedition to Hueco Mundo!"
There were also some decent Shinigami within the Xing Army.
Of course, there were also some claws and eyes of the noble families.
When Uehara Byakuya inspected the Second Division, several of those guys looked down on him, a Shinigami from the Rukongai, thinking they were superior.
After all, he wasn't a demon, he couldn't just kill them on the spot.
So, why not put them to good use and send them to Hueco Mundo.
"Are you a demon? Can those people survive in Hueco Mundo?" Suì-Feng was already somewhat familiar with Uehara Byakuya's way of doing things, having been angered so many times.
At that time, she was wondering why he didn't react to those arrogant noble-born Shinigami?
It turned out he was planning to wipe them all out!
This guy really didn't hold grudges overnight, and had no sense of honor or mission as a Shinigami.
Suì-Feng wanted to say something, but realized she had no reason to stop him.
Besides, if those people died, it seemed like she would have more control over the Xing Army.
"Then it's settled, you two and Kyōraku draw up a list." Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni didn't object.
For the stability of Soul Society, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni could ignore some of the decayed nobles.
But if a group of leeches from the Second Division were gone, so be it. It didn't affect the overall situation.
