Shusuke listened to Giovanni brief the head captain but leave out key details, likely on purpose. He wanted to add his piece before the head captain started speaking. It was unlike Shusuke to jump into the conversation so randomly but he felt like things needed to be said. "Head Captain, I feel as if some factors should brought to light. Such as why there was no established station there to prevent the number of hollows from reaching such drastic numbers." he said, now realizing how hyped he was when he said that and had to lower his voice quickly before getting himself scolded. He didn't want to bring any kind of hell down on Gio or himself but perhaps the head captain could respect them for being up front on the subject.

Shinji listened as Gio gave his mission brief then Shusuke asked a question which made Shinji close his eyes and let out a sigh, he then opened them and spoke "We cannot establish a station anywhere outside of the Seireitei to prevent the numbers of hollows getting so high because we simply do not have the man power...we cannot afford to have what little Shinigami we have outside of the Seireitei twenty four seven...we need them here...you may not know or you may have forgotten but before I became Head Captain the majority of the Gotei 13's army was wiped out meaning we have had to rebuild with what little we have and of course because we have such little numbers we cannot station any of our Shinigami outside of the Seireitei as the little number of Shinigami we send out there will likely become easy targets and also they are likely to further attract more hollow to a certain area due to their higher Spiritual energy...if we had the numbers then it'd be no issue whatsoever...however we lack the numbers...drastically...Shall I tell you the fraction of what we have now to what the previous Gotei 13 had?...one tenth of the army they had. I would rather have the Shinigami we have here in the Seireitei training to get stronger so they can work as a more efficient reaction force opposed to handing some fool a Zanpakuto and telling him to swing it at the enemy. I understand both of you feel passionate about your duties to protect the Souls of the Soul Society however there is little we can do...what little we can do though...I am doing...until we gain more Shinigami, there can be no Shinigami stationed outside of the Seireitei..." Shinji looked at them both, his eyes appeared focused and carried the seriousness of his voice...almost backing up how serious he was about what he said...he wasn't joking...people's lives were at stake everyday and he'd never joke about it...
