In an instant, Hirako Mako's expression completely froze...

After reacting, Hiyori Sarugaki burst into laughter, and even slapped the table repeatedly and said.

"Hahaha, you're a bald man, you didn't expect that even a bald man like you can't be the captain."

Mako Hirako rubbed her temples with a headache, said helplessly "Shut up" to Hiyori Sarugaki, and then asked.

"Makoto-kun, that means...I will be stationed in Karakura Town from now on."

"That's right." Senju Makoto replied.

Suddenly, Hirako Mako's expression... became a little unsightly.

Hirako Mako is not a stupid person. On the contrary, Hirako Mako is a very sharp existence among all the captains.

At the same time, Hirako Mako was also the captain who was the first to realize the danger hidden by Sosuke Aizen.

The current arrangement, from the perspective of the Masked Legion, doesn’t look right at all!

After splitting up more than half of the Masked Legion's combat power, the remaining parts were thrown into the world with a disgrace.

Senju Makoto, who had always noticed the change in Hirako Mako's expression, stretched out his hand and pointed towards the door and said, "Hirako-senpai, I wonder if we can talk alone?"

Hirako Mako's eyes flickered slightly, and out of his past basic impression of trusting Senju Makoto, he nodded, and then followed Senju Makoto to a relatively quiet place outside the door.

"Makoto-kun, is there anything you need to avoid my other friends?" Hirako Mako asked in a pretending relaxed tone.

"With Senior Hirako's keenness, there are actually many things that cannot be hidden from Senior Hirako, but there are also many things that Senior Hirako should not have noticed."

Senju Makoto still maintained that gentle tone, but there was a hint of helplessness in it.

"oh?"

Hirako Mako cast a doubtful look at Senju Makoto.

Senju Makoto organized his tone slightly and said.

"Among them, the purpose of establishing the special operations team in the real world that I just mentioned is not false. As long as Aizen Sosuke's threat is eliminated, the vigilance against Karakura Town cannot be relaxed."

"Therefore, Hirako-senpai and Hobashi-senpai, who are also illusion type Zanpakutos, are also the most suitable candidates among the Gotei Thirteenth Division to go to Karakura Town."

"Of course, more importantly..."

When Senju Makoto said this, his voice paused, and then he raised his hand to set up several ghost barriers before continuing.

"With Hirako-senpai's seniority, he must be very aware of the complicated relationship between the Zero Division and the Gotei 13th Division."

Hearing this, Hirako Mako frowned, his expression completely straightened, and he nodded slowly.

The relationship between Gotei 13th Division and Zero Division is by no means a simple superior-subordinate relationship. Yamamoto Genryanagi Sai Shigekuni was the one who established Gotei 13th Division.

The predecessor of the Zero Division was the one that controlled the Seireitei, and even the entire Soul Society, before the Gotei 13th Division.

As for the specific agreement or conflict reached between the Gotei 13th Division and the Zero Division, and the process that ultimately led to the current situation, Hirako Mako didn't know.

But with Mako Hirako's cautious and suspicious character, it's obvious that she doesn't fully trust Team Zero.

Senju Makoto, who had a clear view of Hirako Mako's reaction, slowly continued with the next sentence.

"Then, Hirako-senpai, have you ever considered why even though the Gotei 13th Division's training system for Shinigami has become more and more complete, there are fewer and fewer captain-level Shinigami that have emerged over the past thousand years."

The smarter a person is, the easier it is for them to produce rigorous reasoning based on their own thinking...

An astonishing answer emerged in Hirako Mako's mind almost subconsciously.

"Captain Hirako?"

It wasn't until Senju Makoto's somewhat doubtful voice sounded that Hirako Mako came back to his senses in a daze, and found that a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.

"So, Cheng-kun...what do you mean?" Hirako Mako asked still with a bit of disbelief.

"I don't know, I'm not sure, I don't understand..."

Senju Makoto shook his head and denied it three times, but he deliberately showed a gloomy and heavy look in his eyes in front of Mako Hirako.

This made Mako Hirako's heart skip a beat, and he realized that such speculation was completely against the current "political correctness" of the Gotei 13th Division, so Senju Makoto did not dare to speak out easily.

Immediately, Senju Cheng turned around and said.

"Of course, what I mean is that guarding the Seireitei is the mission and responsibility of the Gotei 13th Division. You cannot place your hopes on the Zero Division when encountering a strong enemy."

"Therefore, Teacher Unohana's original intention was to take this as an opportunity to form a special operations team composed entirely of captain-level combat capabilities to deal with various dangers and difficulties that are far beyond what ordinary squads can handle.

"

"Senior Hirako's strategy, character, and ability are all the best choices in the entire Jinglingting. In addition, senior Hirako has experience in forming a masked army, so whether it is Teacher Uozhihua or I

, they all decided to place their hopes on Senior Hirako."

For a time, even with Hirako Mako's character, he was under this series of brainwashing, frightening, and being entrusted with trust, honor, and recognition.

Hirako Mako suddenly developed a sense of mission and honor, and formed such a squad with all captains. Under careful imagination, serving as the captain is definitely more exciting than the captain of an ordinary squad.

"I see."

Hirako Mako nodded heavily, as if he had made some realization.

"As for the special operations team in this world, I leave it to you, Hirako-senpai." Senju Makoto said with sincere eyes.

After a while, Senju Makoto canceled the ghost barrier, and then watched Mako Hirako return to the house with an excited look, as if he had been given a shot of blood, with a faint smile on his face.

No one would be willing to eat a simple "painted cake"...

However, when various meanings are given to this "cake", how can this "cake" satisfy Hirako Mako's spiritual desire and satisfaction?

Hirako Mako obviously... ate it!

As the most troublesome figure in the Masked Legion, as long as Hirako Mako is persuaded, Hobashiro Juro and Sarugaki Hiyori will not have any objections.

Immediately, Senju Cheng waved goodbye to the other Shinigami in the room with a pure and sincere look on his face, and then left in the direction of the Bai Daomen of Jing Ling Ting.

This time, the main purpose of Senju Makoto leaving the First Division was to welcome the return of the expeditionary force led by Amagai Susuke on behalf of Captain Unohana.

Hirako Mako's arrangement is just to deal with it along the way.
