Kuja looked flatly at Hojo in response to his outburst.
The man annoyed him. He had his uses, but his constant and petty demands wore very thin, very quickly. He'd been dismissed from Midgar for his experiments and Kuja had it on very good authority that some of his research had been lifted from his peers. It didn't matter, but it was something that made him side-eye him all the same.
"And what do you think Aizen would say if he returned after a brief absence to find that some of his subordinates had been interfered with?" He asked, fixing Hojo with a look. "Members are not permitted to touch the subordinates of others, that was made clear to you when you came here and I am repeating that fact now, so everybody else can be aware of it if they are not already. Furthermore, you should be aware that underlings are permitted to act in self defense or defense of their less capable fellows."
He folded his arms, turning from him again.
"Gin is the caretaker of Aizen's subordinates," he said, with an air of finality on the subject. "A member must be missing for twelve consecutive months, at least, for their subordinates to be forfeited. Should that happen, or should they die, it is up to me to decide what happens to them if there haven't been provisions made in advance."
He'd taken on Orochimaru's subordinates himself upon his death. It had been more a mercy to Kadaj, than anything. He hadn't entirely considered the repercussions of his actions.
"In this case," he said, indicating Gin, "the point is moot."
