Chapter 22: Do you want to hear my condition?
Seeing that the other party put forward such an outrageous condition, Yamamoto's face became very heavy. He turned his head and glanced at Yamabuki Detang out of the corner of his eye, asking for Yamabuki's opinion.
Yamabuki Ditang's expression remained unchanged, and he even showed a hint of a smile on his face: "Everyone, I don't think there is anything wrong with these conditions. After all, everyone here is considering their own interests. It is certainly reassuring to hold the sharp sword of the Gotei 13 in our hands. Naturally, we must also strive for our own interests. You have finished talking about your conditions, and now it's time to listen to our conditions?"
The great sage sitting at the highest seat slammed the table and said, "This is the best treatment that the Central 46th Chamber has given you. Don't be ungrateful. Don't forget that you are the one asking us to do something for you! If the Central 46th Chamber does not recognize the status of the Gotei 13, you are just a bunch of bandits!"
This sentence hit Yamamoto's pain point. Indeed, if there hadn't been a time traveler like Yamabuki Ditang, the old man would have made some compromises, and there was nothing he could do about it.
The most impressive chapter is the one where Rukia Kuchiki was executed. It was indeed a great sin to pass on the spiritual power of the god of death to ordinary people, but it was not enough to warrant execution in that manner.
Aizen issued orders in the name of the Central 46th Room because he knew that even the captain-general had no right to change anything decided by the Central 46th Room.
"Don't be anxious, sages. We are gathered here today to make this matter clear. Moreover, it's not just you and me who are here. The heads of all the noble families in Soul Society are also here. You might as well listen to my condition. Don't worry, they are not too outrageous." Yamabuki Ditang gave Captain-General Yamamoto a reassuring look.
These high-ranking adults thought they had already won the game. They had already made up their minds. No matter what Yamabuki Ditang said, they would not agree and insist on their own opinions. In order to achieve their goal, Yamamoto would definitely compromise with them.
Although these people are pedantic in their actions, they are definitely masters in fighting for power and profit. Everyone is calculating how to gain more benefits for themselves.
Yamabuki Ditang cleared his throat and stated his requests one by one."First, the Gotei 13 will not accept the jurisdiction of anyone, whether it's the Central 46 or the Five Great Nobles. You are not qualified. The Gotei 13 has only one leader, and that is Yamamoto Shigekuni ."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar."You're dreaming. If you don't accept the jurisdiction of the Central 46th Chamber, you'll leave here right now. This is the Seireitei, this is the Central 46th Chamber, and here we follow the rules. Do you think you can be lawless? Impossible!"
Not only the great sage, but the other forty sages also criticized it, saying that it was impossible.
The reason why they agreed to the establishment of the Gotei 13 was to gain more benefits from the Gotei 13. If the Gotei 13 got out of their control, that would be disastrous!
The thing that people in high positions cannot tolerate the most is someone or something being out of their control, which brings them an unspeakable sense of fear.
"Quiet, quiet, I haven't finished yet, this is just the first one." Yamabuki Ditang said with a smile.
"Secondly, we have a very complete theory for selecting captains of the Gotei 13. In the Gotei 13, we only look at ability, not background. As long as you have the ability, even a commoner from Rukongai can sit in the captain's position. And the selection mechanism of the Gotei 13 captain will never be interfered with by the Central Forty-Six Chambers and the Five Great Nobles."
"Third, the selection of members of the Gotei 13 will not be based on their background. Even if they are ordinary civilians, as long as they have enough ability, they can still become a members of the Gotei 13. In addition, I suggest that civilians who do not have noble status be given the status of lower nobles after they officially become members of the Gotei 13."
"Fourth, if a member of the Gotei 13 commits a crime, we will punish them internally. We will establish a very complete punishment plan. The Central 46th Office is not allowed to interfere."
"Fifth, the Central 46th Chamber must provide the Gotei 13 with a large amount of material support every year, and give priority to support. Otherwise, the Gotei 13 can choose not to protect the Central 46th Chamber."
"The above are my requirements. If there is anything that needs to be supplemented in the future, we will add it at any time." After Yamabuki Ditang finished speaking, the forty-six sages in the Central Forty-six Rooms burst into laughter.
What kind of sweet dream is this kid having? Not to mention the Central Room 46, even Yamamoto's eyes when looking at Yamabuki Detang became very strange. Aren't we going too far?
If the Central Office 46 agreed to Yamabuki Ditang's request, it would be like personally establishing an institution with power that is almost superior to that of the Central Office 46.
How could they agree with these old men who value power more than their own lives?
Yamabuki Ditang still looked at these important figures with a smile on his face.
"This is impossible! We cannot agree to any of the five conditions you proposed." The great sage said loudly.
Tsunayashiro Fuka was about to cover her face.
Bro, is this what you call negotiation?
This is called robbery!
These old guys may be corrupt when doing things, but they are smarter than each other when fighting for power and profit. Do you think these people are fools? How could they agree to such an outrageous request?
Yamabuki Ditang looked at these important people quietly: "In other words, you all disagree with my request, right?"
The great sage sitting at the highest point shouted sternly: "Of course I disagree. There is no order without rules. Look at the rules you set. What do you think of our Central 46th Room? Do you regard us as nothing?"
Yamabuki Ditang hurriedly explained: "Of course, I don't treat you as nothing... I just treat you as garbage!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the forty-six old men present fell silent for a moment, their faces flushed with anger.
"Someone! Someone! Get these bastards out! Get them out!!!"
But no guard came.
Yamabuki Ditang looked at these old men leisurely: "I forgot to tell you that when we came, we had already cleared out all the guards. Since you don't agree to our request, there is nothing we can do. Negotiation failed? Captain, please draw out the Ryujin Jakka and destroy Seireitei directly! This kind of place is not worth our protection!"
There was a gleam of light in Yamamoto's eyes, and he drew out Ryujin Jakka without saying a word!
"Bankai…"
