Soul Society.
Gotei 1.
Lieutenant Conference Hall.
Although the death of a Lieutenant of Gotei 13 is not as serious of a fact as a Captain's death because of their difference in strength nonetheless the death of a Lieutenant is also not something that can be overlooked after all they are right below a Captain in strength.
So after knowing a Lieutenant of Gotei 13 has died made the expression of everyone in the hall serious.
"Did he fight some other factions in the world of the living? " asks Takashi with a serious face looking at Chojiro who is also the leader of all the Lieutenant's and can command any Lieutenant in the absence of a Captain or if the command doesn't go against the order of the Captain of the Gotei the Lieutenant is part of.
After Takashi's question, everyone turns towards Chojiro who clarified the details, and from him, everyone got to know a few days ago Captain Shinji Hirako the Captain of Gotei 5 had went into the world of the Living to become a witness of an agreement sign with his Lieutenant but when the agreement was signed they got attacked by some unknown god.
In that fight, Thor the God of Thunder of got injured heavily, and the Lieutenant of Gotei 5 also lost his life although Captain Hirako had defeated the enemies and captured them before handing them over to the Gods Faction for Judgment.
After that, the Lieutenant had a small discussion among them about the problems in the Gotei, and if they have some problems they need help and much more important stuff.
Although it is the Captain who is in command of a Gotei however it must be noted all the small work and the procedures are taken by a Lieutenant of a Gotei.
------------------------
The next day.
As he was told Takashi arrived at the Gotei 1 when he was asked and found Yamamoto, Retsu Unohana, Shunsui Kyoraku, and behind them are their Lieutenants.
"It is truly surprising to see you arrive at the appointed time instead of sleeping late." said Shunsui Kyoraku with a smile as Takashi arrived at the Hall.
"Between you and me, I think it is clear for everyone here who is lazier. " said Takashi with an indifferent smile looking at Shunsui.
"As sharp mouth as ever hope you don't fail in the assignment and come crying to me younger brother?" said Shunsui with a smile.
"Only if you don't get slapped by a woman in the face after looking under the skirt of someone one day." said Takashi with a smile without caring about Shunsui's warnings.
"Can't you let this elder brother win once?" asks Shunsui with frustration when he didn't have any come back.
"Fine you are better than me?" said Takashi with a nodding smile.
"Really?"
"No."
After the debate between them, Shunsui was feeling regret and asks himself why did he have to open his mouth when Takeshi flashes in front of Retsu and quickly holding her hand says with a smile "You are so beautiful today Captain Unohana.
Will you marry me?"
"Oh my! thank you for the compliment Takashi San.
I truly appreciate that you think I look beautiful however I can not accept your proposal right now?" says Retsu with a smile before shaking her head gently.
"Why not?" asked Takashi with a confused face.
"You see you are the first man who has ever proposed to me so I truly want to get to know you better as I also feel lonely sometimes however I don't want to marry someone who is not stronger than me.
You need to remember my other Identity before I had become the Captain of the Gotei 4. " said Retsu with a gentle smile.
"You mean if I defeat you in a battle then you will accept me?" asks Takashi with surprise before receiving a nod from her and says with a smile "Fine I will try my best."
"Brat if you are done with your flirting can we finally begin your Captain Promotion Assignment or do you want to take it some other day?
You need to know we are not as free as you are and there are some more important tasks at hand." said Yamamoto with an angry tone when he saw Takashi flirting with Retsu instead of paying attention to what he needs to and more importantly this shameless brat had married in the Underworld even then he is proposing left and right.
Will he does not drop dead if this continues for long, the heaven also has a limit to its vast tolerance or you think it's blind.
"Come on old man I was doing something important over here but whatever just tell me what is my promotion assignment?" letting go of Unohana's hand Takashi asks with annoyance as he turns towards Yamamoto.
Suppressing his anger Yamamoto calms himself by reminding own self that Takashi is just a kid and he should be a little more tolerant of him and he will also change his attitude when he grows up before saying "You want to defeat Retsu Unohana in a battle don't you?
Finish your assignment is to defeat her in pure swordsmanship as we all know you have more than enough Spiritual energy to be a captain.
So we don't want you to cause any distraction by releasing your Zanpakuto Shinkai.
Am I clear?"
Hearing the task for the promotion assignment Takashi turns towards Unohana who gives a nod as he says with a smile "Fine it will also be a test for you and I will know how much of a good teacher you are old man.
After all, you are the one who thought me swordsmanship in the first place."
"Don't worry I am fully confident in my teaching however I am not so sure about your learning capabilities.
So I am also curious how much you have learned." says Yamamoto with an indifferent smile.
"Good one." Shunsui said with a thumbs up when he saw how good Yamamoto's come back is and he has to agree with the fact age brings wisdom.
"Whatever." with nothing to come back against Yamamoto although he felt regret however he has to take the assignment so with a sigh he asks "Are we going to fight here or do we move somewhere else?"
"Of course you aren't going to compete here even if you two are only going to clash in sportsmanship however with the Captain level Spiritual Pressure battle this whole facility will be destroyed.
So you will be competing in the..."
