Post War Recuperation

"Team 11 to 16, head to West 56th District! The rest follow me!"

"The three groups and Matsuda nine seats go to the North District!"

"Don't worry about the bodies for now! Take the injured people first!"

"Emergency delivery! Please send out your orders!"

"Quick, send them to room two and three!"

...

"Finally, they started to move the wounded..."

Standing at the door of the operation room and looking at the soldiers busy moving the wounded, Isane Kotetsu's eyes showed a trace of sadness. As a member of the Gotei 13, she could only hide in the courtyard of the 4th Division in the previous battle. It was definitely a painful thing to feel Reiryoku disappear one by one.

"As a result, there was no one injured in the battle..."

Lowering his head, Isane's eyes floated to Unohana Retsu standing by the window and looking at the outside.

"Captain Unohana, can we stay in 4th Division like this? If we go to the Seireitei to help, we can treat more wounded people..."

"Isane!"

Captain Unohana suddenly spoke, her voice was as gentle as always, but in the ears of Isane, there was an unspeakable bitterness.

"Don't be emotional and say such silly words! Driven by uneasiness, it is easy to send all the people of the comprehensive rescue team out, but you should understand that you can't do this even without me explaining. Usually, you will never be so inconsiderate!"

"Yes. I am very sorry!"

Looking at the back of Captain Unohana, who was not wide but extremely firm, Isane bit her lips and a few tears fell involuntarily.

I am really stupid! Captain Unohana, must've felt more than me! More want to save everyone!

"Don't cry, Isane. No matter what happens, 4th Division is not allowed to move out! Because this is the last order that Captain-Commander gave us!"

"How is it going?"

"Mr. Kimura is just too weak. He just needs to rest for a while. As for Miss Kusu's injury, it is quite serious. However, there is no time for Reiryoku to treat her, so she has to undergo an emergency operation to sew up her vital parts. Now she is out of danger, and her body condition has stabilized."

"That's good..."

Hearing the doctor's answer, Hirako breathed a sigh of relief.

"In the end, she was defeated without even touching the clothes of the enemy boss. It's really shameful. However, what a terrible opponent..."

Thinking of the Quincy who defeated them in an instant, Hirako Shinji's eyes flashed a trace of haze.

"That guy..."

Ichigo, who came from nowhere, heard Hirako Shinji words and said, "Me too, that blond bastard, I didn't see what happened clearly, and cut my Getsuga Tensho into two pieces."

"Oh, it's Ichigo. Speaking of which, you also fought with that guy, right? After we were defeated."

"Yes, we were beaten very badly."

"By the way, how is Rukia and the others?"

"Like Miss Kusu, they first had an emergency surgery to sew up the vital parts. They are temporarily out of danger."

"Is that so? That's good..."

"Lord Kurosaki Ichigo!"

A member of the 12th Division ran over, panting.

"Captain Mayuri called you because of the Zanpakutō."

Looking at Ichigo who rushed to 12th Division below, Hirako Shinji shook his head slightly.

However..

Thinking back to what the leader of Quincy vaguely heard at the last time said to Ichigo, Hirako Shinji's heart flashed a trace of uneasiness.

1st Division

"I couldn't find the body of Captain-Commander."

"..."

Several Captains stood in a circle, in the middle was a broken Zanpakuto, which was left with only the handle, which was the only thing left by Captain-Commander.

"Report to the Captains!"

"6th Division Captain Kuchiki Byakuya and 11th Division Captain Zaraki Kenpachi, both survived, but the injury is serious, I am afraid it is difficult to recover. And 10th Division Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Vice Captain Matsumoto Rangiku are still under the observation of Captain Kurotsuchi."

"Dismiss!"

"Ah?"

"I don't want to listen to this kind of report right now, don't you understand Captain-Commander has passed away, what kind of bad news do you want me to accept?!"

"Enough! It's too shameful to throw a tantrum at the messenger!"

"Tantrum?"

Turning to look at Kensei, Soi Fon said, "Because you hate Captain-Commander, you are so calm!"

"What did you say..."

"Soi Fon, you shut up!!"

Komamura's roar suddenly sounded, and his face was full of sadness and grief.

"Do you think you are the only one who wants to scream?!"

Pa -

The sudden clap woke everyone up from the grief. Looking at the people in front of him, Kyouraku Shunsui tried to speak as usual in the tone: "Alright, alright! Don't quarrel! According to the current development, everyone has to stand proud in the resting place of our Captain-Commander! Crying and angry in front of him is disrespectful. It's really not presentable!"

"Gotei 13... Not to chase after the dead, nor to shed sad tears of the deceased. Soul Society exists to protect and to guide! "

Looking up at his companions who had cheered up a little in front of him, Kyouraku Shunsui said seriously, "We must move forward! We are Gotei 13!"

"Can't do it?"

"Why? Don't you always break your own Zanpakuto and take him back"

"Idiot, I'm not, but."

Faced with Kurosaki Ichigo's doubts, Kurotsuchi Mayuri looked at him with contempt. It was difficult to explain this kind of stupid guy.

There is only one way to fix Zanpakuto, that is to use the spirit of the owner Reiryoku, and the time needed to pour it into Zanpakuto, that is all!

"I understand. In other words, I can only take it back and slowly repair it? If so..."

Hearing Kurotsuchi Mayuri's word, Ichigo picked up his Zanpakuto.

"Be good and listen to me!"

"What I just said is only limited to the state when Zanpakuto was destroyed, and it is whole another concepts."

"What!"

"Of course, there are also exceptions, such as Komamura. The owner has an extremely strong connection with Zanpakuto, so there is a huge flaw in his Bankai, if his Bankai is injured, so does himself. But in contrast, once the owner's injury is healed, Zanpakuto can also recover. I have obtained the final information of all the team members here, so far, the exception is only this one. The Bankai of Ikkaku Madarame, which was destroyed during the battle with Edrad Leones, was reluctantly restored by Akon, but his abilities were never restored. "

"Connection with bankai?"

"Then, how do you explain Renji's Bankai? I remember that his Bankai was once destroyed in the battle with Byakuya."

"Have you ever counted his Bankai's blade section?"

"The blade section of the Zabimaru that was destroyed by Kuchiki Byakuya has been damaged since then!"

"Then... what should we do?"

Holding the broken part in his hand, Ichigo's face showed confusion. The words of the Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri had been very clear. His, could not be repaired!

After losing strength for 17 months, he finally recovered his strength again, but found that he still could not protect his companions. Even his Zanpakuto suffered irreversible damage. This result...

Beep beep - -

"It's me. - Is it, as expected, I know, I'll go right away."

After hanging up the communication, Kurotsuchi Mayuri called Kurosaki Ichigo and walked out with an inexplicable expression on his face.

"Come with me, Kurosaki Ichigo. It's better for you to meet them, though I don't want to see them at all. - The big people of Zero Division have arrived!"
