The punch hit Yamabuki right in the eye socket.
Yamabuki was in so much pain that he was about to cry. This bastard must have done it on purpose, actually slapping him in the face!
However, he also managed to escape with a punch to the eye and heard Kirinji cursing behind him: "Stop right there, you bastard! Don't think I don't know who you are, you little bastard!"
'Humph, as long as I'm not caught in the act, I'll never admit it even if you kill me! Anyway, there is no surveillance in this era; what can you do to me?' Yamabuki thought with a sneer.

The next day at work, Yamabuki wore a big pair of sunglasses to cover the dark circles under his eyes.
Chōjirō came over with a curious look on his face: "Brother Yamabuki, why are you wearing sunglasses?"
"Don't you think you look handsome wearing sunglasses? I'll give you one too!" Yamabuki took out a pair of sunglasses from his clothes and gave them to Chōjirō.
"Thank you, Brother Yamabuki!" Chōjirō put on his sunglasses happily.
However, as soon as Yamabuki entered the team, he saw Kirinji standing there staring at him with a fake smile. Yamabuki smiled awkwardly, feeling guilty.
"Oh! My house is not clean. A rat got in yesterday. Does the Chief of Staff know about this?" Kirinji asked coldly.
"No...I don't know."
"That mouse ran very fast. It disappeared in a flash even after I punched it. But never mind. Nothing was missing from the house anyway." Kirinji suddenly waved his hand and threw a small bottle of medicine over, and Yamabuki took it with his backhand.
"What's this?"
"Bruise medicine." Kirinji said lightly.
Yamabuki had a layer of cold sweat on his back: "Why did you give me bruise medicine?"
"As the chief of staff, are you really going on a mission with dark circles under your eyes?" Although you aren't afraid of being embarrassed? But we, the Gotei 13, are afraid of being embarrassed! Let's find a deserted place to apply the medicine, and..." Kirinji paused and added, "Although the technologies of the White Bone Hell and the Blood Pool are incredible, they must not be obtained by people with ulterior motives, otherwise..."
"Ahem. Got it." Yamabuki glanced around behind his sunglasses.
There are no more than ten people in the entire Gotei 13 who know about the existence of the White Bone Hell and the Blood Pool Hell, and they are all captain-level figures. Apart from Yamabuki, there is no one else who is interested in such things.
Suddenly the room door opened, and the captain came to the room. Everyone immediately shut up and waited for the old man to lecture them.
"Yamabuki mentioned to me that we may have to face a big war in the future, and the number of people we have now is definitely not enough, so we have to expand our recruitment. The first time we recruited members, we only recruited members from Seireitei and the nearby Rukongai districts, but this time we will expand the scope to include all four divisions and 320 districts of Soul Society." Yamamoto said with a solemn expression.
The emergence of the Quincy is a big deal. Yamamoto had already told these captains about it, and these captains also vaguely guessed that there would probably be a fierce battle in the future.
"Starting tomorrow, all captains, please make an effort to travel to various places in Soul Society to promote the Gotei 13 and recruit members. I, as the captain-in-chief, will take the lead. Yamabuki, the responsibility of protecting Seireitei will be temporarily handed over to you... Well, I am a little worried about leaving you alone, so, Saito and Kinroku, the two of you will also stay in Seireitei." Yamamoto said.
In this era, the three captains working together are almost invincible.
"Don't worry, leave it to us." Yamabuki said solemnly.
"Okay, go about your business," Yamamoto said calmly.
The appearance of the Quincy is indeed alarming, but it does not make Yamamoto feel nervous. He is very confident in his own strength. I don't care who you are, the King of Quincy. If you have the guts, just stand here and let me chop you.
The staff will be expanded soon, and the resources required will also increase greatly, especially the Zanpakuto and uniforms. All these logistical issues will be decided by Yamabuki alone.
That's right!
An idea suddenly flashed through Yamabuki 's mind. He decided that he might as well take this opportunity to standardize the clothing of the Shinigami and then have all the production and manufacturing done through his own shop. This would not only solve the clothing problem, but he could also make a fortune!
I am such a little genius!
He immediately raised this suggestion to the captain!
In fact, Yamamoto also had this idea. It would appear more formal after the clothing was standardized, but there has never been a suitable opportunity. Now that Yamabuki has his own clothing factory, he might as well solve this problem.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. And I won't let you suffer any loss, after all, it's the nobles who are paying for it." Yamamoto said proudly. He didn't have to pay for it himself anyway, so he was happy to be generous!
The prototype of the uniforms of the Gotei 13 was already thought of by Yamabuki, and that was the famous Shinigami costume.
However, the Shinigami uniform has almost no substantial use. Some people say that it is a piece of armor with extremely low defense, while others say that it is a tool for detecting the Reiatsu in the body of the Shinigami.
For example, when Ichigo Kurosaki transforms into the Shinigami, the Shinigami uniform will automatically appear on his body.
Moreover, the more clothes that are missing, the greater the loss of Reiatsu. However, these effects are almost nonexistent for ordinary team members.
After he returned to the factory, he told Senjumaru about this matter. Senjumaru patted her chest and promised that she would take care of this matter without any problem.
Just like that, the prototype of the Shihakushō appeared.
In addition to the most common Shihakushō, there is also the captain's haori worn by each captain. The captain's haori is a pure white cloak. The bottom of the cloak is uneven, just like bird feathers, hence the name!
Although this thing has no practical use, it's cool!
Imagine that thirteen captains wearing Shihakushō and captain's haori, moving freely among thousands of troops, taking the heads of enemy generals as easily as taking something out of a bag. How exciting is this scene?
He also prepared a suit for himself, but the word 謀 (Bou, meaning 'scheme' or 'strategy') was printed on the back of his haori instead of his squad number. He wanted everyone to know that he is the real cool-headed strategist that made everyone fear!
By the way, do you want to wear a feather fan? When fighting with the enemy, you can wave the feather fan and destroy the enemy in a flash! How can you describe it with just one word, "cool"?
It's over, it's over! Ahem!
Soon, with the efforts of Senjumaru, the first Shihakushō and captain's haori in the history of Soul Society were born, and Yamabuki took them directly to show the captain-general.
Yamamoto was very satisfied with this. With a wave of his hand, he allocated a large amount of funds for the production of the Shihakushō.
The captain's haori that Yamabuki sent over has already been worn by the captain-general.
After dealing with all the matters in the team, Yamabuki returned to the underground training ground at home. In the center of the training ground were two hot springs, which were replicas of the White Bone Hell and the Blood Pool Hell.
Yamabuki discovered that he was not only extremely talented in combat but also learned much faster than ordinary people. After analyzing the recipes of the two hot springs, he quickly replicated them.
He is truly the chosen one.
*****
Let's talk about Unohana Retsu's ability.
Sister Hua will come out soon, let me talk about her abilities here.
There are currently two mainstream views on Hana-sama's Bankai.
First: Overtreatment caused cell necrosis, so Kenpachi Zaraki instantly turned into a skeleton. (Another theory is that Kenpachi turned into a skeleton because his ability awakened, Wild Exposure: Exposing skeletons in the wilderness.)
Second: rule-based abilities, causal acceleration.
The birth of a person is the "cause," and the final death and decay into bones is the "result", and the extinction of all things is the acceleration of the cause-and-effect process.
If this is the case, then the initial release is not simply a treatment but may also be "acceleration of cause and effect."
For example, if a person has a small wound on his hand, the final result is that the wound heals.
But in the bloody battle, Rukia, Byakuya, and Renai were seriously injured, and the final result was "death." If they were treated with Shikai, it might accelerate their death, so it exceeded the treatment limit of Unohana, and they had to be sent to Squad Zero.
So, I personally prefer the second guess. If you have any ideas, please leave a message to discuss.
If you have no objection, Sister Hana will appear the day after tomorrow. Her Bankai ability is rule-based causal acceleration.
Of course, this is just one person's opinion; just listen to it. If you have different opinions, just do as you want. (￣ヘ￣o＃)
