52 Chapter 52 No reaction

Ichigo looked around curiously only with his eyes while the captains discussed the current important matter.

He didn't need to only focus on the discussion as he could multitask himself.

And when he was observing everything in the hall. He could hear someone whispering to him.

'Shu, Why are you looking around like that? You should focus on the meeting. Otherwise you would be scolded by your captain.'

Ichigo looked at the white hair woman who gave him a warning.

She was the vice captain of the 4th division.

Her captain was standing next to Soifon.

Even though she looked gentle, the hollow inside him said that she was the second strongest in this room.

If they were to fight his head would be rolling on the ground before he even knew it.

The hollow inside him might be a bit annoying but his instinct was superb. He already experimented on it a few times.

And that's why the hollow seems to be afraid of him.

He fears no man but Ichigo.

'Don't worry, My sense is really good. Even though it looks like I am not paying attention to it, I remembered everything. By the way my name is Kurosaki Ichigo.'

The white hair woman looked surprised but believed him easily.

'So the rumor that the disciple of the former 2nd division captain was a genius is true. My name is Kotetsu Isane. Nice to meet you'

Ichigo nodded at her gracefully as for the matter about him being a genius or not. He would not comment on it because he knew it's true.

He knew his value and would never lower it.

The two then focus on the meeting. Ichigo had checked on everything in this room so he didn't have anything to do anymore.

…

"Captain Commander. We got contacted by Captain Aizen earlier. He found an Adjucha killing many souls outside Rukongai and an unsealed Garganta."

Yamamoto and every captain listen to Chojiro. Their expressions were now very serious.

They knew that whenever Aizen made his move. Something big always happens.

But they didn't know it would be this big.

They knew what it meant to find an unsealed Garganta and an Adjucha.

"We needed to up the security measures around Seireitei. We can't let them infiltrate us at all cost."

One of the captains commented.

And he was a captain of the 10th division. Hitsugaya Toshiro.

He looked like a kid but everyone knew that he was older than he looked.

"That's the thing that needed to be done without saying. But what about Rukongai citizens?"

This time he was the captain of the 13th division. Jushiro Ukitake.

He seemed to be a nice guy that was worried about people.

Toshiro felt ashamed but he knew even though he wanted to speak about them.

They would still choose to only up the security of Seireitei.

But why?

That was because Rukongai didn't have any security measurement.

When there was zero security. There was no use in upping its security.

And everyone in the hall understood. The central 46 would never care about anyone outside Seireitei.

Ichigo looked at everyone. He might not know much about Rukongai but he learned about it from the book Yoruichi gave him.

The living conditions of the Rukongai were very bad. No, it was the worst.

Ichigo even though he felt some sympathy for them, he would never come out of his way to help them.

He was no hero but only a man that wanted to enjoy his life and protect his loved ones.

He wasn't that selfless to help the unknown people.

…

The captains discussed the security measures very seriously.

They didn't talk much about Rukongai again after Ukitake brought it up one time.

They concluded that they would triple the security around Seireitei.

So they needed more active Shinigami.

"All the captains have to send 20% of their squad members from the human world to Seireitei. They will be stationed around the wall and every important point until the matter is solved."

Yamamoto said and that marked the end of the meeting as he had something to do.

He needed to report this matter directly to the central 46.

'Bad thing will always happened when I want to find my successor *Sigh* nine thousand years in service is too much even for someone like me.'

As for Aizen.

He would travel to every location that had sealed Garganta to check if they were unsealed like the one he found or not.

With that he didn't say that he wanted to find clues about the murder case.

It was deeper than he had thought.

After the end of the meeting.

Soifon wanted to lead Ichigo out of the 1st division barrack as fast as possible because she felt that many captains were interested in him.

Especially the psycho Kenpachi Zaraki.

"We need to move quickly."

Ichigo nodded, then he said goodbye to Isane politely. And follow behind Soifon.

When they were outside of the 1st division barrack.

Soifon and Ichigo looked in front of him and saw Kenpachi blocking their way.

"Heh, Do you think you can escape from me just because that old man stopped me?"

Soifon had to push Ichigo away and block the sudden attack from Kenpachi.

With her strength Kenpachi with an eye patch on couldn't do anything to her.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Soifon was very angry that he would dare to attack Ichigo like that.

She knew that Ichigo had to hide his strength due to some reason.

So he could not fight Kenpachi.

"Are you that scared to hide behind a woman? You are really a coward. I really don't know why that bitch master of yours took you in."

Kenpachi wanted to rail him up but. All his response he got was the laughter of Soifon.

"Heh. Your provocation doesn't work on him."

Kenpachi looked at Ichigo intensely. And he found no reaction at all.

"Huh, That didn't work. Weird…"
