Now that Higashijo has brought up this old matter again, it's immediately embarrassing.
If we really calculate it according to Joe Higashi's method, Kenpachi Onigeki doesn't fit either of those criteria and isn't qualified to take on the title of Kenpachi.
"Old man Shan, what's your decision now?"
Kyoraku Shunsui also chuckled to himself, looking on with amusement.
"This move by Dongzhang must have given the teacher a real headache."
Jushiro Ukitake said with a wry smile.
When dealing with a rigid and stubborn person like Yamamoto, the chances of success are not very high if you try to reason with him. However, if you use the same rules to refute him, he certainly won't be able to maintain his domineering attitude.
Especially now that Yamamoto has no reason to refute it.
Yamamoto gave Joe a deep look, and with a slight, unintentional smile, delivered his final verdict.
"Joe Higashi defeated Onigenjo Kenjiro through the Captain's Challenge and is now the captain of the Eleventh Division!"
Chapter 161 New Research Topic 14/18
With Captain-Commander Yamamoto's words, the era of the Eleventh Division officially began.
Many of the Shinigami from the Eleventh Division looked at that... wild man with his shirt off, as if from another world, as if they were in a different era. This was their future captain.
As for Oni Yanjo Kenpachi
After announcing Joe Higashi's identity, Yamamoto's gaze sharpened as he looked at Oni Genjo and pondered, "Joe Higashi may not inherit Kenpachi's identity, but the defeated Oni Genjo is no longer qualified to continue bearing the title of Kenpachi."
However, given the current lack of a new Kenpachi, and the fact that the Soul Society cannot function without him, he assumed the role of acting Kenpachi as the vice-captain of the 11th Division.
Upon hearing this, many of the Shinigami from the Eleventh Division showed expressions of joy, and even Ichinose Masaki looked relieved.
Although it's somewhat regrettable that Kenpachi Iwaki lost his captaincy, it's already a great blessing that he survived in the Eleventh Division.
A flicker of pity and mockery flashed in Aizen's eyes.
Survival? What a joke!
Glancing at the old man whose expression was obscured by his white beard, Aizen knew very well that this... Captain-Commander was no benevolent person.
What does it mean to be a proxy for Kenpachi? It means that Onizuka has almost no chance of truly obtaining "Kenpachi".
If that's the name, then the next Kenpachi is destined to appear.
He's only being spared now because of Joe's reasons. When the next Kenpachi appears, it will be the time when Onige Kenpachi completely relinquishes the title of "Kenpachi".
Location.
And handing over "Kenpachi"
That means death! Guiyan City's future fate is already sealed.
"Now, only the 2nd Division 2 is left empty."
Kyoraku Shunsui yawned, rubbing his eyes with interest, and said, "Speaking of which, which one... the little girl from the Hachi family or someone from the Ōmaeda family will be next? Yoruichi's younger brother is still a bit young."
"I think it must be that Lieutenant Soi Fon."
Aizen's gentle tone conveyed absolute certainty.
"Oh, are you so sure?"
Kyoraku Shunsui, intrigued, pressed for an answer.
"Emotions and obsessions can be a person's greatest motivation. Yoruichi Shihouin's sudden departure must have been a severe blow to her, especially considering Lieutenant Soi Fon's talent."
"It only takes one or two decades to become a captain."
After listening to Aizen's explanation, Kyoraku Shunsui nodded thoughtfully.
The other captains nearby reacted the same way as Kyoraku, but in their hearts they all agreed with Aizen's statement.
Logically speaking, Shihouin Yushiro should have been the successor to the captain of the 2nd Division. However, Shihouin Yushiro was only an average genius, and he had not formally begun any training related to Shinigami before Shihouin Yoruichi's defection.
This is quite normal. After all, Yoruichi Shihouin was the head of the family before. Given her personality, she wouldn't allow her younger brother to undergo rigorous training without a childhood. Even if there were objections from the family, it wouldn't matter as long as she didn't give her approval.
In recent years, the Shihōin family has been busy quelling unrest and controlling its subordinate clans, and has not been able to focus on training Shihōin Yūshirō.
Considering Yushiro's age, personality, and the fact that learning the Zankenkai and then comprehending the Dkai is a rather long process, it would take at least forty or fifty years.
In this situation, the Hachi and Maeda families under the command of Shihōin become a possibility.
Normally, the Ōmaeda family, whose members have served as the second vice-captains for generations, have an advantage in terms of talent and ability. However, Soi Fon of this generation has extraordinary potential and has taken the position of vice-captain ahead of time.
Considering Aizen's reasons, it seems that Soi Fon is indeed more likely to rise to power.
"Members of the Fourth Division, quickly take Vice-Captain Oni Ichiro to the Fourth Division."
Suddenly, Retsu Unohana's clear voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.
Only then did they realize that the fat, dark-skinned man lying there was still no clue whether he was dead or alive.
Fortunately, Grim Reapers are generally quite resilient. Unless they are hit in a vital area, have their skulls shattered, or have their hearts pierced, a Captain-level Grim Reaper will not die in a short time.
Joe Higashi's decision not to accept the title of Kenpachi was preordained, while Aizen's decision not to kill Onigenjo was made on the spur of the moment after seeing Ichinose Masaki.
Otherwise, even if Joe Higashi killed Onigeki, he could still refuse to accept the title of Kenpachi.
Shuang's potential is quite impressive, making him a very talented individual, but Aizen doesn't seem to value him much.
The reason I was willing to slightly alter the plan for Ichinose Masaki was simply to see what choice Ichinose Masaki would make if Oni Ichijo were still alive.
"It's time to go back. We need to find a new vice-captain."
Upon returning to the Fifth Division, Aizen was immediately surrounded by his team members.
"Captain, did Vice-Captain Ichimaru succeed?"
"That goes without saying. If Captain Aizen approves, then the vice-captain must have succeeded."
"Just look at the captain's smiling face, and you can tell what the result will be!"
".
"Now that Vice-Captain Ichimaru has left, does that mean I also have a chance to become a vice-captain?"
"You really know how to dream when you think you're in the fifth seat."
Despite Aizen's tendency to disappear at the drop of a hat, it's clear from their words that these team members trust their captain, Aizen, more than Gin Ichimaru.
After all, in the eyes of his teammates, he just didn't show up often.
"Ah, Gin has become the captain of the Third Division."
With a slight smile, Aizen shared this "good news."
A second later, a deafening cheer erupted.
Those who were close to the Fifth Division were all startled.
Despite the harmonious atmosphere, Aizen's eyes remained unmoved, instead revealing a sense of alienation that separated them from each other.
He knew very well that this was an invisible wall that instinctively formed within him.
We're just not on the same path after all.
After a moment of inexplicable reflection and some laughter and conversation with everyone, Aizen returned to his office.
Pulling out…Mirror Flower Water Moon, setting up his defenses, Aizen smiled faintly and said, “The top captains of the Gotei 13 are basically those people. Among them, Joe Higashi, Muramasa, and Ichimaru are all on our side, just as you can see.”
Of course, Ichimaru still has ulterior motives, and the slight suspicion I hinted at should have made him a little paranoid.
"Furthermore, Kaname Tōsen of the Ninth Division is also one of our own, so if you appear in Soul Society as me, aside from Gin Ichimaru, don't have any overtly close interactions with those three to avoid arousing suspicion."
I see, Lord Aizen.
A pleasant, soft female voice echoed in Aizen's mind; in reality, he only heard it because he was sharing Kiyohime's gaze.
After explaining some key points to Kiyohime, Aizen removed the hypnotic shield and headed to the secret base.
"Our recent research topic has been changed to chakra refining techniques."
Chapter 162 The Flaws of Spiritual Energy Refining Technique 15/18
"I see. So this is the effect when applied to spiritual power."
Sensing the changes in spiritual pressure within his body, Aizen's eyes flashed with understanding.
A week has passed since the team leader's assessment, and he hasn't been holed up in the lab all week.
Even after Gin Ichimaru left, he still had to handle team affairs personally, plus introduce Kiyohime to her everyday interpersonal relationships. So, most of the time, he continued his normal "captain's life."
Even so, the "Chakra Refining Technique"
He figured it out very quickly.
His trip to the Naruto world yielded more than just acting points or the extraordinary potential of his transformation technique; it provided him with a wealth of knowledge about the Naruto world's principles and concepts.
Just like the chakra refining technique, Aizen never imagined that something like that could be recreated in this world.
Chakra is a product of the Divine Tree's fruit. Apart from the descendants of Kaguya Otsutsuki, only the descendants of those who possessed chakra shared by the Otsutsuki family are qualified to refine chakra.
Many people believe that commoner ninjas are at the very bottom of the ninja world, but the truly pitiful ones are the "true commoners" who never even had the qualifications to possess chakra in the first place.
Those so-called commoner ninjas are simply those who lack family power or special inheritance; they are still lucky individuals who possess chakra seeds.
In that dangerous and chaotic ninja world, ordinary people without power who were at the mercy of others were the truly pitiful ones.
Look at Xuebai, why are those who possess bloodline limits considered evil? This isn't just due to Kirigakure's Blood Mist policy.
The bloody policies amplified the gap between powerless ordinary people and ninjas, with bloodline ninjas being the best among them. When the policies began to oppress these bloodline ninjas, ordinary people found an outlet for their frustrations.
Note: There is no Shiro without water, no Shiro without water, no Shiro without water! This is important, so I'm emphasizing it three times! The original work clearly states that Shiro is "a boy from the Snow Clan."
Don't be misled by fan fiction that alters the official character settings.
However, the Yuki clan is an ice-elemental clan, and Haku's mother married under a false name. Haku naturally took her father's surname at first, but after her parents died, she could no longer take her father's surname. Therefore, Haku only had a given name and no surname. Haku herself did not know her mother's real surname before she met Zabuza.
As for the situation where a certain silly father even wants to kill his wife, son, and daughter, Aizen believes that it is understandable from the perspective of a weak person.
Fear and dread weren't just directed at the ninja; it was more likely the fear that if discovered, other civilians would see him as an "accomplice of the devil."
Kill them all.
If his wife, who possesses ninja abilities, manages to escape, then the chances of him, an ordinary person, dying are very high.
Seeing him tearfully facing Bai at the end, it wasn't that he was devoid of emotion; it was just that fear and selfishness ultimately prevailed.
Therefore, Aizen didn't intend to recreate chakra in Soul Society in the way Madara Uchiha remembered, since he didn't have a chakra seed within him.
Besides, he doesn't have a physical body! But it's also thanks to the fact that he drew a transformation jutsu. Once the transformation jutsu can be released through spiritual power, Aizen can use the same medium to think about the differences and similarities between the two energies, and thus study how to apply the chakra refining technique to the spiritual pressure of a Shinigami.
After all, Shinigami (death gods) have an innate spiritual pressure that gradually increases to its upper limit.
After some simple research, Aizen also developed a technique for refining spiritual energy! "Unfortunately, the side effects are significant."
After pondering for a moment, Aizen decided not to use this spiritual energy refining technique.
Because it was modified based on the characteristics of chakra refining techniques, the essence of the refining technique is to transform the "physical body".
The spiritual energy within is extracted to expand spiritual pressure, and then the increased spiritual pressure simultaneously drives the "spiritual body".
The strength is increased.
It may seem like it has no effect, but in reality, the side effects are quite significant.
Extracting spiritual energy is out of the question for Aizen; he would be devastated if it affected the stability of his Zanpakuto or spirit.
However, extracting spiritual energy from a physical body is inherently a very risky and complicated process.
As is widely known, the Grim Reaper's body is stabilized by spiritual power.
An increase in spiritual pressure can lead to an increase in physical strength, because the more spiritual pressure is released, the higher the spiritual energy content contained in the cells of a Shinigami's body.
If I had to give an example, it would be something like this.
In the game, spiritual pressure is equivalent to power level, and spiritual energy is equivalent to spiritual power. Increasing spiritual pressure will not increase spiritual power, but increasing spiritual power will definitely lead to an increase in spiritual energy.
So here comes the question.
Now Aizen is extracting spiritual power from spirits to expand his spiritual pressure, which is equivalent to reducing the upper limit to increase his power value. Conversely, the increase in power value can also lead to an increase in the upper limit.
However, in the back and forth, the upper limit is still reduced.
It can only be said that while the spiritual pressure increases, it can also provide some feedback to compensate for it.
However, this means that by relying on this method to enhance spiritual power, the Grim Reaper's physical strength will actually decrease.
