Past, Present, Future [Sajin, Open to all]

Noharu. Blessed was the sight of that woman and Rangiku on that day for Tento. In more than one. None of that now though. She was recovering. She lost limbs, and a lot of blood but she survived. “Thank you for telling me that, Ranma. I'll visit her when she's not in too much pain”, he said with a nod despite giving a raised eyebrow as he moved to try and cling to Rangiku. Lucky guy. That and if what he was outing up was true. Good to be alive. “I will give her flowees. Maybe some food too. No idea what type of flowers she likes though”.

Tento tried to be positive and chippy. But he sighed. He remembered seeing her in a vulnerable state to say it brightly. She was abused and decimated by the onslaught from that hollow's powers. He felt so guilty about being so weak. He relied on her and Rangiku defending him, he got in their way. They worked together to push that hollow back but still. He couldn't help but wonder if Noharu would have suffered less injuries just if…

At the start of Sajin's voice again Tento pushes those thoughts down. They were here to discuss and meet about the future. Not for him to feel self pity. Absorbing the gravity of Sajin's words and the weight of the responsibilities laid before them. The dissolution of the Gotei and the creation of the Jieitai were possible monumental changes, and the path ahead was fraught with challenges and uncertainties. Rangiku's presence added a sense of comfort. Another experienced veteran to give advice and structure in this tiring time. Her vibrant orange hair and bubbly personality stood in stark contrast to the serious atmosphere, yet her dedication and resolve were undeniable. Profesor Rangiku as always.

Hearing both Rangiku's and Ranma's remarks, Tento gave a thoughtful look. The challenges ahesd were tough and someone with leadership experience in terrible times would be wonderful. As Rangiku and Ranma spoke out, neither felt they had time to accomplish such a thing. They had a chance to protect the Soul Society in another faction. Sajin had doubts but was willing to step up. A reminder that leadership was about commitment and serving, not power.

Tento's thoughts drifted to Hanako. Her strength and resilience had always inspired him, and in this moment, he felt a surge of determination to honor her example. She had been his anchor, guiding him through the chaos and uncertainty. Her unwavering dedication to their cause was a beacon of hope, and Tento knew he had to uphold the standards she set. He cleared his throat, his voice steady but humble, "I've risen through the ranks quickly, but I know leadership is much more than just being powerful. I don't believe there is anyone here with us more qualified than you, Komamura Sajin. I'm committed to serving and protecting Soul Society, but I don’t think I’m ready to lead to that level."

Tento hadnt met Captain Ōtoribashi. He was a man with a long history in the Gotei, passed the United and even in several years with the Gotei 13. He had a few key roles in history and beyond the positive reputation Tento heard of the man there was another thing. He was a vizard too. As welcomed the Vizards were in the ending years of the Gotei in comparison to before, and the aid of the ideology shift within the Gotei United. there was still an unease about Vizards existance and their role in the Gotei. But Ōtoribashi was there all the same. Fitting the role of a Captain, it did well to sooth any fleeting aches of anxiety knowing there was someone like him who was present and so well respected.

Tento listened intently to Sajin's address, recognizing that fhe man spoke with deliberate focus and yet a clear humblesnne once again. Loyalty. Honor. And an unclear future. A calm will was with Sajin that bolstered Tento's own resolve. And the sight of such a man regarded as a legend humbly bowing before them… “You have my aid then. I will lend my power and continue mentoring as I have before”, Tento said returning the deep bow. Tento just hoped in the long term it would be worth it. Placing trust and faith in another person that he did not know.

The question of personally would be something alright. With the financial banking, it should be easier in finding people to join. People had to work and feed themselves due to the spiritual need after all. The issue may been making sure they were just and honorable people. Perhaps Tento could reach out to his 4th brothers and sisters a number of them would fit. Among the seated officers, Rio was a good choice. She was a good leader and honored the Gotei's duty. Although he couldn't ask everyone, there were certainly a number of people in his division that were his comrades but didn't suit this build.

Ugh, such a headache. Missing people still. What were all the former Captains doing. What about all the other friends he made in other divisions. Were they safe?? There were far too mau things on his mind to even think of he fit in that role. He would let Sajin bother with that for now.

When Sajin finished and Rangiku raised her concern about other attempts at reviving a Gotei, Tento spoke "Rangiku raises a valid point," he began, his voice calm. "We must be prepared for the possibility of multiple factions emerging with the goal of restoring the Gotei. If it's focused on our duties as they should be framed. Then the issue of cooperation at the least should be miminal. Things arent ever idea though”, Tento said rubbing the back of his head in a sigh.

“Either way. I will do what I can to tackle those issues. I can also open gargantas to aid in transportation and communication for now”. Multiple revivals or just them their focus should remain on building an organization grounded in honor, justice, and the well-being of our people. As long as that happened and the balance was maintained in the end. Everything would be alright. If the goals were aligned there would be no need to see it as competition. As fun as it may have been personally to Tento, the people didnt need tthat. Cooperation where possible had to happen.

“When it comes down to it. Unity will make us stronger. If there's a way to merge efforts without compromising our principles, we should consider it. However, if we must stand alone to uphold our values, so be it right?”. Either way Tento ready to follow his lead and stand by Rangiku, Ranma, or anyone else that joined them. His focus on rebuilding the Rukongai and Soul Society was no different now than it was more. And he was willing to do whatever it took if it contributed to the rebuilding their home and military strength.
