After finishing the work at hand, Yamabuki prepared to go home and have a good rest.
Since living together with Unohana, there are many flowers and plants in the house. Although Unohana never shows mercy when she kills people, she really likes to grow flowers and plants, especially flower arrangements!
There is a row of various flowers on the windowsill, and Yamabuki is never allowed to touch them.
Not long after, Unohana also got off work.
Maybe because they have been living together for a long time, the two of them have a good understanding of each other: one cooks and the other cleans.
However, when Unohana was cooking, Yamabuki always watched from the side, because if she was not careful, Unohana would put a lethal amount of chili peppers in the dishes.
Yamabuki can handle the highest level of spiciness, which is "slightly spicy". Any higher and it will feel excruciatingly spicy.
But Unohana prefers stronger-tasting food. If she is given a little chance, the spiciness will skyrocket!
The first time he ate her cooking, Yamabuki rolled on the ground because of the spicy food, tears streaming down his face, and banged his head against the wall.
That is simply the most terrible torture in the world.
That's why he was forced to develop something like the shabu-shabu pot.
Occasionally, the two of them would have a few drinks while eating.
As the time of the bloody battle draws closer, the pressure on Yamabuki is increasing. After all, according to the Soul King, there is a high chance that he will die in that battle.
Yamabuki knew that he couldn't trust everything the Soul King said, as there were many possibilities in the future, and omniscience and omnipotence could be deceived by some means. What's more, he had swallowed the Soul King's flesh and learned Bankai, so he had already gained a glimmer of hope.
But that alone is not enough.
"I plan to have all the captains come to our underground training ground for intensive training in their spare time. After all, the war is coming soon. It would be beneficial to increase our strength before the war." said Yamabuki.
"Okay. I have no objection." Unohana smiled even more happily. It was great to be able to chop people with a legitimate reason.
The next day at work, Yamabuki told the captain about this matter. The captain agreed without hesitation, but added a condition that not only the captains but also those team members with potential should be trained.
So after dinner the next day, the current captains of the Gotei 13 gathered at the training ground of Yamabuki's house.
"Wow! You actually dug out such a large training ground in the basement of your house? That's great!" Saitō Furōfushii looked at the underground training ground in shock. As long as it was not a Bankai as powerful as Zanka no Tachi, this space would be enough for him to use.
Yamabuki looked at the captain with a strange expression: "Why are you here too? Is there still room for improvement in your strength?"
"Can't I be a teacher to you little brats?" Yamamoto snorted coldly.
Yamabuki counted the number of people.
The captain of the 1st Division is Shigekuni Yamamoto, and the vice-captain is Chōjirō Sasakibe.
The captain of the 2nd Division is Shihōin Chika, and the vice-captain is Tobira.
The captain of the 3rd Division, Kinroku Izuhara.
The captain of the 4th Division, Chigiri Shijima.
The captain of the 6th Division, Saitō Furōfushi.
The captain of the 7th Division is Nobutsuna Shigyō.
The captain of the 8th Division, Batsu'unsai Katori.
The captain of the 11th Division, Unohana Yachiru.
The captain of the 12th Division, Uhin Zenjōji.
The captain of the 13th Division is Saizō Sakahone.
The entire Gotei 13 is still short of three captains, so there is still a long way to go.
In addition, Yamatake Chiyo also came to join in the fun.
Nobutsuna Shigyō looked at the young people in front of him with a smile. It's really good to be young. However, even if I were a thousand years younger, I would definitely be more energetic than these people.
"You keep talking about training, but how do you train?" asked Saito.
For most geniuses, reaching the captain level is already the limit. After reaching this level, a lot of time is needed to improve spiritual pressure.
For example, Tōshirō Hitsugaya, who had already learned Bankai at a young age and reached the strength of a captain, but for a long time afterwards, his strength did not improve significantly.
According to Shunsui Kyōraku, it would take at least a hundred years for Tōshirō Hitsugaya's strength to surpass his, so it is possible.
And many people think that this is just Shunsui Kyōraku's humble statement.
After reaching the captain level, further improvement is impossible unless there is some adventure, such as going to the Soul King Palace.
It was after Byakuya was seriously injured that he went to the Soul King Palace for treatment, and only then did his strength improve further.
Abarai Renji and Kuchiki Rukia also reached the captain level in strength because of their trip to the Soul King Palace.
The strength of a captain is actually enough to deal with most problems.
"Good question. The fastest way to get stronger is to fight in actual combat. However, our captain is too strong, so he often doesn't have the chance to show his full strength. Over time, his strength will not improve but may decline. So I prepared this place. Don't worry, I have reinforced this training ground with spirit particles. You can fight as much as you want here! Fight until you can't move! Over there are the Bone Hell and the Pool of Blood that I stole from Tenjirō Kirinji. No matter how injured you are, you can recover quickly after entering. So everyone, fight as much as you want!" Yamabuki opened his arms and said with a middle school look on his face.
As a result, all captains except the captain-general set their sights on him.
"You...why are you all looking at me like that?" Yamabuki suddenly had a bad premonition.
"If we want to fight..." Saito looked at Yamabuki with a smirk on his face.
"Of course we'll choose the strongest one to fight!" Nobutsuna also drew out his Zanpakutō.
"Except for the captain-general... you are the strongest here, right?" Shihōin Chika looked at Yamabuki with a smile.
Yamabuki swallowed hard, took two steps back, and bumped into someone. When he turned around, he saw Unohana looking at him with a smile on her face.
Batsu'unsai Katori held the naginata in a very girlish posture, looked at Yamabuki shyly, then jumped into the air and chopped down fiercely with the sword.
The behavior of Batsu'unsai Katori seemed to have turned on some strange switches for these people. In an instant, all the captains and vice-captains drew their swords and rushed towards Yamabuki.
"You...you are fighting in a group? You have no moral principles! If you continue like this, I will not be polite to you!" Yamabuki shouted.
However, there were not many opportunities to beat up the General Staff with a legitimate reason, so they just took it as an easy opportunity and beat them up as soon as they could. Even the usually well-behaved Chōjirō Sasakibe excitedly came up to join the fight.
"At that time, I was bullied so badly by you! Now Accept our righteous judgment !" Nobutsuna Shigyō laughed.
"Yamabuki!!!!"
