Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Kirito had already been in the second division for three years. In these three years, not only did his strength increase by leaps and bounds, but he also got along very well with his companions.
Friendship was like this. It took time for it to become more harmonious, and there would no longer be so many disagreements.
Because Kirito was the commander of the supervision team, he was usually only responsible for the supervision of the tower, so he had a lot of time to train.
In terms of Taijutsu, he could already use Armament Haki to the point of perfection, and he was also very familiar with Marine's Rokushiki.
The four Ninjutsu were now at his fingertips. As for Zanpakuto, Kirito had been training hard ever since he obtained the profound of the Three Sword Style.
However, when he was training, he would always find a place where there was no one around, because he felt that the fighting style of biting the Zanpakuto with his mouth was not good.
Although it was very practical and gave a huge boost to his fighting strength, Kirito had never shown his Three Sword Style to outsiders, including Makoto Hikari and Lucia.
Speaking of Makoto Hikari and Lucia, the two sisters had already graduated from the Shinigami Academy.
The reason was, of course, Captain Unohana Retsu. She had already taken a fancy to Makoto Hikari's Path Restoration potential, so she naturally wanted to accept her into the fourth division.
Therefore, after Kirito officially became a Shinigami, Captain Unohana Retsu often went to find Makoto Hikari, hoping that she could join the fourth division.
After two months of communication, Makoto Hikari agreed to join the fourth division, but the condition was that she had to bring her sister Lucia with her.
Of course, this was not a problem, so Captain Unohana Retsu immediately agreed. Then, without needing to spend any effort on Makoto Hikari and Lucia, she brought them out of the Shinigami Academy.
As the most senior captain in Nightmare Soul Society, it was easy for Unohana Retsu to bring two students out of the Shinigami Academy.
Captain Unohana really valued Makoto Hikari a lot, directly taking her in as her disciple and teaching her diligently.
In addition, Makoto Hikari's talent in Dao Restoration was very high. In less than a year, he had mastered the Dao Restoration technique to perfection.
As for Lucia, her talent wasn't as high as her sister's, but with her efforts and the help of the fourth division's vice-captain, Brave Voice Husche, she was now a qualified Grim Reaper.
Kirito was also very pleased with the current situation of the two sisters because they were no longer as dependent on Kirito as before. They had already grown up.
As for their residences, they had also separated and went to their respective team houses. Although they were no longer together, the three siblings would still often gather together to chat and laugh.
However, the peaceful days would eventually be broken one day. On a night like any other, a great commotion occurred outside Nightmare Soul Society.
A force organized by Drifting Soul Street started a war against Nightmare Soul Society. In a very short time, the Zhuwa Gate was broken.
The guard was heavily outnumbered and was heavily injured by the rioting crowd, causing the Zhuwa Gate to fall.
Fortunately, the tenth division's Grim Reapers were patrolling nearby and repelled the enemy forces, preventing them from entering Nightmare Soul Society.
However, due to the severity of the situation, the head captain of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto, immediately called for an emergency meeting.
The captains and vice-captains of the Gotei 13 gathered together and listened to the head captain's orders.
The head captain was an old man with a long white beard. He looked very dignified and made people feel a natural sense of respect.
This was perhaps the head captain's charisma. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to command so many Grim Reapers.
The head captain leaned on his strange-looking cane as he stood in front of everyone and stared at them.
He tapped the ground with his walking stick, making a clear 'dong' sound. Then, he opened his mouth and said, "I think everyone should know the reason why I've gathered all of you here."
After hearing the head captain's words, everyone nodded, indicating that they knew the reason for this gathering.
"That's good. Just now, the Zhuwa Gate in the south was attacked by Drifting Soul Street, but they were repelled. However, I have a feeling that this is not an ordinary attack."
After the head captain finished speaking, the captain of the eighth division, Shunsui Jingle, stood up. He lifted the brim of his hat and said, "Head captain, I have already sent people to investigate. The advance team has already sent back the news."
After hearing Shunsui Jingle's report, the head captain looked up and said, "Is that so? Then report what you know."
"Yes, according to what we know, the group that attacked Nightmare Soul Society is called Extermination. They have always been a secret organization, and the news only leaked recently."
After Shunsui Jingle finished reporting, the captain of the thirteenth division, Juushirou Okitake, also stood up and said, "I have heard of this organization, but I always thought that they were just a small force on Drifting Soul Street."
"But from their actions this time, I am afraid that they are not a small force." The captain of the fifth division, Aizen, said.
The captain of the tenth division, Isshin Shiba, also said, "From the name, this organization should have been premeditated. They want to go against Nightmare Soul Society."
"I agree with captain Shiba. What is the head captain's next order?" The captain of the fourth division, Unohana Retsu, said.
After hearing everyone's words, the head captain spoke again, "Soi Fon, I order you to take people to Drifting Soul Street and report back with more specific information."
"Yes, Sir Head Captain," Soi Fon replied immediately.
"Isshin Shiba, take your tenth division and patrol carefully in Nightmare Soul Society. Just in case the enemy does something else." The head captain gave another order.
"Yes, head captain."
"The rest of you, don't let down your guard. Be on guard against the enemy's methods at all times. Understood?"
"Yes, head captain." Everyone responded in unison.
"Well, the meeting ends here. You are dismissed. Go do your own work." The head captain gave another order and walked back to the building.
All the captains also dispersed. Before leaving, the captain of the eleventh division, Zaraki Kenpachi, kept muttering, "Isn't it just a group of hooligans? It's just a farce. Just let me take people to kill them. Why bother?"
"Captain Zaraki, don't be so agitated. It's better to figure out the reason first." Isshin smiled and said to Zaraki.
However, Zaraki didn't seem to care about Isshin's words and went straight back to the eleventh division.
Isshin also returned to the 10th division and started patrolling the area with his Shinigami.
