Tentō Zefā | The Unrefined Paragon
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."

Rangiku didn't have many questions but she was a little concerned about the fact thre may be more than one group trying to take over the goteis United spot. As of right now their little group was pretty small, so she wondered if they would be stomped out or if they were able to co-exist? She wasn't sure how all of this was going to play out.
"What about other attempts at reviving a gotei? Would we absorb into them? Or would we insist on our version?"

RANMA GEKIRETSU
Wait… should he had reminded Tentō to knock on the door? He could’ve just walked in unannounced and possibly get a butt-view too… naaaaaaaaaah. “I just gave her yellow flowers,” he reminded her, that being the best advice he could give about stuff like that. His neck felt heavy…
But a force akin to this Jieitai sure needed a huge role model. An anchor, of some sort. Ranma hadn’t been too big into leadership for a while – he’d been an Unseated member of the previous 8th Division for years before he decided [“You know what? I wanna be a Seated officer now!”], but in ultra hindsight, it was a huge responsibility to bear… he couldn’t belittle the weight it had, the hands it required.
He remembered the news of Captain Shiba’s death… Captainhood was definitely something he wasn’t ready for. Firstly, a moot point, he didn’t have Bankai yet. Ranma wasn’t a front-line defense – if his cooperation with Komugi had proved one thing, it was that he was a shrewd piece of support. His Kidō and Zanjutsu meshed well, and that was what he could offer. Erica… I’ll make sure you have a place to pursue your passion. Count on it.
“Wait, the Senkaimon’s gonna be rebuilt soon? Awesome! I always wondered how…” Actually, Ranny’s question was related to the ‘how’ – it was made apparent that the Jieitai wouldn’t be the only attempt at reviving the… a… Gotei, y’know. Lord Kuchiki wanted to reinstate the Gotei himself, too, and if many of the Shinigamis would go there, would it cause a clash? Disturbance? Fuel for an inner conflict right after the invasion?! “Ye… the last thing we need is another shitshow like the last one. Then again, our goals are pretty much the same, so I don’t see any reason to poke each other… r-right?”

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.

Rangiku listened to him as she nodded. She knew he was good for his word as she had served under him way back. Well not in his squad but just as a lieutenant in the court guard squads. As she waited for him to speak, she knew that she wanted to be in this version. She knew that the nobles were probably going to be up to something, but right now she thought this was best.
"I'm in."

RANMA GEKIRETSU
It was a neat foundation, though – although there were plans to restore the Senkaimon as told by Koma-mount, Tentō’s Gargantas (aka the buttcracks in the sky) were a reliable second option of transport – especially since he could open those from wherever. Seriously, how come the Vizards were ever banned from the Gotei in days past? They were just craftier Shinigami, really…
But Koma-peak was beyond chivalrous, and despite having only known the big canine guy for about a few- say, half an hour or something? – he was definitely a far more admirable figure than… huh, Ranma’s knowledge on the nobles’ spearhead was awfully limited. But still… with his sudden appearance during the invasion, the sheer haste of everything happening around him, Ranma’s head hadn’t settled yet.
“If you discussed with the Koizumi head… have you also talked with Masamune, Koma-dono?” Ranma asked. He talked shortly with her before, during the aiding of injured Shinigamis at Captain Kuchiki’s byōin. When it came to what she had in mind, he didn’t really know what – but she was the closest link to his previous Captain-Commander. “Personally, I’d like to wait until Captain Rose wakes up again… I… promised Noharu the members of the 8th would be there when he came back. I just don’t know when… damn…” Ranma was allowed to be a Shinigami under him, in a squad and environment that complimented his enigmatic nature and didn't make him loathe his life's greatest choice to actually become a Shinigami to begin with. Sure, they often had to deal with his bullshit - quite often, in fact - but he was deeply grateful that they actually had patience with him.
"Sorry for always being a pain in your ass, Ranny- wait, Koma-boss!"
Ranma somehow found his way to climbing up and holding his arms over the big guy's shoulder, for the first time in his life feeling like a pseudo-parrot. "Most of the 8th would definitely want to join, but I don't have Bankai yet, so you'd need to make Ranny a Captain."
Even if he'd forgotten that Ranny didn't have Bankai, the thought came to mind and was immediately verbed out.

Tento stood quietly absorbing the conversation and the weight of Sajin’s words. He appreciated the earnest commitment Sajin displayed, and it resonated with his own sense of duty and honor. It wouldn't be easy or something they should jump into with uncertainty, but if they wanted to make this work they had to be firm once they dove in.
At the same time though, Tento could understand Ranma's sentiment. If Kanae was down, he could feel an obligation to still act within the scattered forces of the 4th to give them something. Anything in this trying time. It was a very grown up decision to make and Tento had to give a nod of respect. The loyalty and the need to fulfill A promise. Not many would feel compelled to meet that word.
Tento looked to see Sajin's response. He was curious himself. He had not seen her at all throughout all of this. When he went to the Koizumi estate she was away busy at work. All before doing several quiet blinks at the sight before him.
