I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

Byakuya was stunned for a moment: "Impossible, Uncle. Wasn't the Tsunayoshiro family wiped out more than 20 years ago?"

"It's the Tsunayoshi family."

In the end, it was Kuchiki Ginrin who affirmed Erin's words.

"Byakuya, you were still young back then."

"The Tsunayo family was wiped out by the heir they adopted."

"In other words, although the Tsunayoshiro family was wiped out, the one who inherited the Tsunayoshiro family, Tsunayoshiro Tokinada, is still alive!"

"This……"

In the world of Bleach, "name" is "power".

If someone inherits the surname "Tsunayoshiro", then the status and power represented by the Tsunayoshiro family will still exist.

Even if there is only one person, the Tsunayoshiro family is still one of the five great noble families.

"hateful!"

"Father-in-law, if he is the current head of the Tsunayo family, he should recognize you, right? Why would he attack you?"

"I have some guesses about this."

After saying so much, Kuchiki Ginryo was also a little tired. After a while, she slowly spoke: "As the five noble families who betrayed Lord Spirit King together, we all believe that if Lord Spirit King wants to take revenge, we will face it calmly and let Lord Spirit King make us receive the punishment we deserve."

"Only the Tsunayo family fears Lord Rei-oh and covets his power."

"So, over the course of more than two million years, they tried every means to cut off Lord Spirit King's legs, sever Lord Spirit King's arms, gouge out Lord Spirit King's eyes, and remove Lord Spirit King's internal organs, gradually weakening Lord Spirit King's power."

"On the other hand, it seems they have done some research on Lord Spirit King's power and have begun to collect the power that Lord Spirit King has scattered throughout the world, wanting to use Lord Spirit King's power for their own purposes..."

"It was precisely because of this that neither the Shihouin family nor our Kuchiki family tried to stop the incident on the day the Tsunayo family was in trouble."

"After all, in our view, the Tsunayo family has gone mad."

"The attack on me by that member of the Tsunayo family this time was probably due to the power of those 'Fullbringers,' which came from Lord Soul King."

"I suspect that the reason he wiped out the entire Tsunayo family in Seireitei was because he discovered the power that the Spirit King had left behind in the mortal world, and wanted to fade out of Seireitei to secretly go to the mortal world to collect the Spirit King's power."

"In the future, the Tsunayo family may become a major scourge to the Seireitei."

"Byakuya, with your strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the turmoil the Tsunayo family is causing in Soul Society in the future. Therefore, I'm going to entrust the Kuchiki family's generational mission to your uncle. I hope you can understand."

"Etc., etc……"

Erin was puzzled. Just now, Kuchiki Ginryu was saying all the right things, so why was he suddenly asking her to take over as the head of the Kuchiki family?

“Father-in-law, you must have faith in Byakuya. When I was Byakuya’s age, my strength was not even a third of what it is now.”

This is a fact.

Erin entered the Shinigami Academy at the age of ten, joined the Second Division at sixteen, and only began to take off at the age of forty-six after she had conceived her Zanpakuto.

Byakuya is only in his thirties now, yet he already possesses the strength of a vice-captain, which is indeed much stronger than Erin was in his thirties.

"If possible, I really hope that Byakuya will take on the responsibilities of the Kuchiki family."

"But now, Byakuya hasn't even completed his Bankai yet, only you can uphold the honor of the Kuchiki family."

"What about Haruko..."

When asked about her daughter, Kuchiki Ginryu fell silent.

Over the years, perhaps the best thing he did was find the best husband for his daughter.

Even Ginrin Kuchiki sometimes envies the relationship between Erin and Haruko Kuchiki.

The more familiar you are with the two of them, the more you will know how deep their feelings are.

It's just a pity that in the end, he still had to personally separate his daughter and son-in-law.

"I believe Haruko will understand."

"Father-in-law, you're asking too much of me."

Erin shook his head and refused: "It is impossible for me to leave Haruko alone in the mortal world."

“If you hadn’t been attacked this time, and Haruko hadn’t been worried about you, I wouldn’t have come to see you.”

"To say something that might upset you, I only care about you because I care about Haruko."

"The main reason I agreed to marry Haruko was because I had feelings for her."

"Therefore, as long as Haruko is in the human world, I cannot return to Soul Society."

"you……"

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

Erin's retort made Kuchiki Ginryu's eyes bulge slightly, her hand pointing at Erin trembled, and she coughed repeatedly.

Only Byakuya stood there with his mouth agape, unsure of what to say.

Did he take over the mantle of the Kuchiki family himself?

But Grandpa was right. How could I, who hadn't even mastered Bankai, possibly shoulder the responsibility of the Kuchiki family?

It would be too unfair to my aunt in the present world to let her uncle take over as head of the Kuchiki family.

"Father-in-law, please don't get so agitated."

"Isn't it just a mere Bankai?"

"Judging from your current condition, you can hold on for another three to five days."

"How about this, you rest in this barrier for the next three days and hand Byakuya over to me."

"Three days later, I will return to you a Kuchiki family head who can use Bankai."

Seeing that Kuchiki Ginryo was so angry with her, Erin quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

He had gone a bit too far just now, and he was afraid of angering Kuchiki Ginrin to death. If that happened, both Kuchiki Byakuya and Kuchiki Haruko would likely have a problem with him.

"Ok?"

When Erin said that, both Byakuya Kuchiki and Ginryu Kuchiki were stunned.

"Hey, Erin, if I heard you right, you mean you can teach Byakuya Bankai within three days?"

"That's right. If Byakuya's training hasn't fallen behind these past few years, the chances are very high."

Six years ago, when Erin left Seireitei, he used his Bankai to subject Byakuya to three months of intense death training, which allowed Byakuya to integrate all four Shinigami techniques into his "instinct".

Over the past six years, as long as Byakuya has diligently trained every day, his strength has almost reached the top tier below the captain level.

Furthermore, with the amplification of spiritual pressure from his Shikai Zanpakuto, even if he encountered the actual captains, it's uncertain whether he could defeat Byakuya without them using Bankai.

"What if Byakuya hasn't completed his Bankai training in three days?"

As if in a final burst of energy, Kuchiki Ginryu stared intently at Erin and said, word by word, "Erin, I'll give you three days. If Byakuya hasn't completed his Bankai training after three days, you must become the head of the Kuchiki family and take on the responsibilities of the Kuchiki family."

"Okay, I agree!"

"If Byakuya has not mastered Bankai in three days, I will take over the responsibilities of the Kuchiki family until Byakuya completes his Bankai training, and then I will hand over the responsibilities of the Kuchiki family to him."

"A word is settled!"

"A word is settled!"

After making a promise with Kuchiki Ginrin, Erin pulled Kuchiki Byakuya away from Kuchiki Ginrin's bedroom and headed towards the Second Division.

To enable Byakuya to complete his Bankai training before Ginryu Kuchiki's time runs out, Kisuke Urahara's help is essential.

Only Kisuke Urahara's invention, the "Transcendental Body," could help Byakuya complete the materialization of his Zanpakuto ahead of schedule.

As for whether Byakuya can achieve Bankai within three days, Erin is not worried.

In any case, even if Byakuya doesn't complete his Bankai training this time, the rampage of his Zanpakuto is just a minor matter that Erin can easily suppress, and it won't harm Byakuya.

At that point, Erin will at most spend another three months giving Byakuya a death-defying training session.

He refused to believe that Byakuya, after his own training, couldn't defeat Senbonzakura and complete his Bankai.

In other words, the bet Erin made with Kuchiki Ginrin from the beginning meant that even if Erin lost in the end, he would only temporarily serve as the head of the Kuchiki family for three months before the responsibility could be placed on Byakuya.

You might win, but with four twos and two kings, I will never lose!

……

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

After Erin and Byakuya left, Kuchiki Ginrin slowly lay down on the bed, then stretched out her finger and gently tapped the wall a few times.

"Dong dong dong."

"Lord Yinling."

The person kneeling before Kuchiki Ginrin possessed considerable spiritual pressure, but was not wearing a Shinigami uniform.

In other words, this person is not Death!

In fact, although the Gotei 13 are the strongest guard force in Seireitei, it does not mean that other nobles do not have private armies.

Just like the guards of the Kasumigaoka family who use the Baku-yō-dō.

They possess spiritual pressure and can slash and slash, but because they are not Shinigami (death gods), they do not have Zanpakuto (swords).

This is a private armed force belonging only to the nobles.

"Morikawa, you must immediately travel to the mortal world through the interdimensional portal and find the young lady."

"I will send you a message in three days. Based on the message, you should announce my plan to appoint Erin as the head of the Kuchiki family."

"Yes, Lady Silver Bell."

After hearing Kuchiki Ginryu's order, the person instantly disappeared from Kuchiki Ginryu's hospital room, leaving only Kuchiki Ginryu with her eyes closed, suppressing her grief.

As the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family, Kuchiki Ginrei knew that Haruko would understand why she had given her that message.

If the Tsunayo family hadn't ambushed him, Kuchiki Ginrin felt that the Kuchiki family could have waited a few more years to allow Byakuya to grow properly.

However, now that she knows the Tsunayoshiro family has abandoned Soul Society and is still collecting the Soul King's power in the human world, Kuchiki Ginrei feels that the Kuchiki family must step forward, fulfill their mission, and prevent the current head of the Tsunayoshiro family from causing harm to Soul Society.

Byakuya, if he had a hundred years, that would be about right. Right now, the only one who can support the Kuchiki family is Erin.

Kuchiki Ginrei knew that as long as Morikawa conveyed the message to Haruko, Haruko would know what to do for the sake of the Kuchiki family.
