Giovanni listened intently. He wasnt exactly surprised that the leadership fell on the head captain. What did seem strange was that in the years since the apparent dethroning of the previous kido captain no one has replaced him. so either the head captain was very peculiar about who was to be in charge, or he was unwilling to relinquish any of the power he already held. since the stealth force was a part of squad 2 it was technically under his command as well. in short this one man had control of the entire military and very few people knew. most assumed, correction, most were taught that the kido corp was separate to prevent one person from amassing such power. well that clearly didnt work but if central 46 allowed it then there shouldnt be anything to worry about. Gio nodded but is curiosity had gotten the best of him " if it is as you say it is then my suspicions were correct. i was confused as to why I not only had to search out the HQ of the kido corps on my own to be allowed entry into its rank but even upon entry I was, well to be blunt sir, i was put out. historically they train their members in secret but i was set to train on my own it seems. With most soul reapers joining the more popular branches i would imagine the Corps is lacking on recruits. I wouldn't imagine their missions and duties being notably life threatening but with very little incoming man power its only a matter of time before they fizzle out. I apologize I am ranting. but is there no Lieutenant or 3rd seat to oversee the duties and responsibilities of the kido corp personally as you are more bound to the captancy of the gotei than to the kido corps...sir" that might have came off as something of an insult but it was meant to be a general concern. Gio wasnt quite grasping what was going on but what he did understand he wasnt sure he liked. However he had noticed the head captain offering him a chance to be promoted, perhaps that would gain him clearance to more information. And to think, this was all professional business, chances were he wouldnt get to his personal business, but at this rate that was ok.

Shinji closed his eyes for a moment as he listened to Giovanni then oppened them up once again when he had finished speaking "It's certainly difficult to get people going into that Squad..you see...it's a bit of a catch. The Kido Corps usually send an invitation to Shinigami in the Shino Academy that show promise in Kido however most deny this invitation as they wish to join the normal squads with their friends, then you get people wanting to join who are just as good as those invited but they are usually turned down on a trust issue sort of deal. All in all you see why the Kido Corp's numbers have fallen, even more so without a real Captain. I simply keep check on things and try my best to run it but being in charge of my own Squad and well...12 others it's far from an easy task and is often forgotten from time to time. I'd like for someone to step up to the rank but the issue is they have to be promoted from within the Kido corps...they cannot be outsiders and there are skilled Shinigami there however...they lack leadership and really in truth their power is at the bare minimum I'd expect from a Kido corps Captain...basically all these Shinigami would crack under the pressure of having these ranks...3rd seat included...it'd mean a lot more work for them and I just don't believe they could handle it...so really I have to pretty much hand mold a select few Shinigami from the Kido Corps into Shinigami capable of eventually taking over the Kido Corps and even that will take time...it's unfortunate but thats how it is..."
