Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

The Zanpakuto thrown by Araki tumbled through the air, tracing an incredibly beautiful arc, before finally embedding itself in the soil less than five centimeters from the most important 'little brother' of the Sasakibe!

"Araki, watch out! My brother almost died!"

As the Zanpakuto, gleaming with a cold light, plunged half a foot into the soil, Sasuke's face turned deathly pale.

"It doesn't matter, right?"

"Since you don't need that thing anyway, you might as well just cut it off~"

"This is good for you too, allowing you to focus more on improving yourself..."

Araki said, then turned around and walked towards the Eleventh Division's barracks.

"Hey! You guys, you've seen enough, get back to training!"

Before leaving, Araki didn't forget to remind the 11th Division members who had been secretly watching his fight with the Sparrowbeard to immediately return to the dojo for training.

"Yes, Captain Araki! Take care..."

The Eleventh Division members, who had been silent and trying to minimize their presence since Araki and Sasuke started fighting, got up from the ground after hearing Araki's words. They straightened their bodies and bowed to Araki at a ninety-degree angle.

Those Eleventh Division members were bent over so much that their backs were practically at right angles...

"Um……"

Araki nodded slightly upon hearing this, then stopped looking at the Eleventh Division members and headed towards the Eleventh Division Captain's room, where he usually took his afternoon nap.

"Araki..."

"Our training isn't over yet, is it?!"

When Suzakube saw that Araki was about to leave, he became anxious. He was hoping that Araki would continue to train him!

"Suzume, you're too weak. Even if I train you, you won't improve at all..."

"Besides, my fighting style isn't suitable for you! If you fight the way I do, you might die even faster on the battlefield!"

Upon hearing this, Araki finally stopped. He turned to look at the mud-covered Sasuke and said helplessly.

"Yeah?!"

After hearing Araki's words, Sparrow was slightly taken aback. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, all the words in his heart were reduced to just two words.

Yes, Suzakube originally wanted to say a few words in rebuttal to Araki! He didn't believe he couldn't learn Araki's fighting techniques. Even if he lacked talent and needed to put in a thousand times, ten thousand times the effort, he would still learn them and show Araki...

However, when Suzaku recalled that just now when he was fighting Araki, he clearly pierced Araki's body with his Zanpakuto, but Araki was unharmed, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. It seemed that he really couldn't learn that technique.

No, that can no longer be called a skill; it's more like some kind of unbelievable divine ability...

"Suzumebe, I think instead of choosing to fight the enemy head-on like us, you should maximize the advantages of your Zanpakuto! Use its speed to carry out assassinations from behind!"

"Anyway, once the enemy becomes so powerful that your First Division needs to participate in the battle, the battlefield on the front lines of the First Division will also be Yama-no-Tomo's personal stage. If Yama-no-Tomo can handle the enemy, you First Division members will only be a hindrance. If Yama-no-Tomo can't handle the enemy, even if you combine the strength of the entire First Division, you won't be able to defeat it!"

"Therefore, I think you should take advantage of the old man drawing fire like the sun, then, like a shadow, circle behind the enemy, and use the lightning-fast speed of your Zanpakuto to instantly pierce their heart! Deliver a surprise and blessing to them!"

Araki analyzed based on the characteristics of the Sasakibe Zanpakuto.

"Like a shadow, we'll circle around behind the enemy and attack?!"

"I understand! I finally understand!"

After hearing Araki's words, Sasakibe's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped the essence of something.

Perhaps even Araki himself didn't expect that by merely giving Sasaki a few pointers based on his memories from his previous life, he would create the birth of the sixth-ranking backstabber in Soul Society.

"You just understand."

Araki nodded slightly, seeing the ecstatic look on Sasakibe's face.

"However, Sasakibe, you can't neglect your training in Shunpo, Hakuda, Kido, and Zanjutsu just because your Zanpakuto's Bankai is so powerful! I think the old man Yama should have told you that the most basic ability of a Shinigami doesn't lie in their Zanpakuto, but in their own training in the four fundamental skills..."

Then, Araki seemed to remember something and reminded Suzabu.

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke recalled his helpless and 'ugly' appearance after Araki disarmed his Zanpakuto. He nodded seriously and decided that he must not neglect his basic training as a Shinigami in the future. He would never be so embarrassed if his Zanpakuto was disarmed again.

"Araki, could you be my coach regarding the training of 'Slash,' 'Fist,' 'Walk,' and 'Demon'? I think if I could get your help, my basic abilities would definitely improve by leaps and bounds..."

After making up his mind to properly train in 'slashing, punching, walking, and demonic arts', Chojiro Sasaki extended an invitation to Araki, hoping that Araki could become his coach in the four fundamental skills of the Shinigami.

"I'll pass on mine."

"But I've found you a better teacher than me~"

"After all, we're good brothers! No need to thank me..."

When Araki mentioned "a better teacher than me," he couldn't help but give Sasakibe a slightly mocking yet pitying look...

After Araki finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back. Araki was a kind-hearted man; he couldn't bear to see others shed blood! So he simply didn't want to watch...

"A better coach than Araki?!"

After hearing Araki's words, Chojiro Sasaki was stunned. He simply couldn't imagine which member of the Eleventh Division had a better teaching ability than Araki...

"Ara~"

"Isn't this the vice-captain of the Sparrow Club? I didn't expect to see you again~"

Just as Quebu was slightly taken aback and a sense of doubt arose in his heart, a gentle female voice slowly rang out from Quebu's right front.

"You are... Lieutenant Captain Uno?!"

When the person who came in appeared, the person instinctively greeted them.

Immediately afterward, Sparrow suddenly sensed something was wrong. Alarm bells rang in his heart, and an ominous premonition slowly rose in his mind.

"Um, Captain Uno, may I ask you a question? When exactly will the coach that Captain Araki mentioned earlier, who is even better than him, arrive?"

In fact, at this moment, Quebu already guessed what awaited him next.

But deep within Chojiro's heart lay an intense desire to live! That overwhelming will to survive made him unable to believe that what he thought was the truth.

"Ara~"

"Vice Captain of the Sparrow Division, you're joking!"

"Isn't the person responsible for training you in the 'Slaying Fist and Walking Ghost' technique standing right in front of you?"

Upon hearing this, Uno no Retsu gave a slightly eerie smile to Suzakube...

Then, Unozaki gently loosened his long, coiled hair, revealing a head of jet-black hair that cascaded down his snow-white neck...

It was at the very moment that Uno no Retsu untied her long hair that her entire demeanor suddenly changed. The gentle and tender Uno no Retsu seemed to transform into a blood-soaked demon!

Yes, the person in charge of teaching the four basic principles of the Sasuke Shinigami is none other than the former Kenpachi Munore.

"Is it too late for me to go back now?!"

Chojiro Sasaki looked at the First Kenpachi, who exuded a blood-black aura, and his eye twitched slightly.

Suddenly, Chojiro Sasaki regretted coming to the Eleventh Division to train Araki!

"Hang in there! Please don't die, Chojiro Sasakibe!"

On the other side, after Araki returned to his team leader's room, he did not immediately lie down on the sofa for a nap. Instead, he silently mourned for three full seconds for his dear friend, Chojiro Sasakibe!

"Thank you so much, Araki!"

On the other side, Chojiro Sasakibara looked at the sea of ​​blood covering the ground before him and revealed an extremely ugly smile.

Also~

Chapter 31 Sparrow Division: So feelings do disappear, right?

The open space outside the Eleventh Division's swordsmanship dojo.

With a flash of bright silver light, Chojiro Sasaki was once again slashed to the ground by Uno Retsu...

"Ugh……"

This made Araki, who spent his days idly and constantly slacking off, sigh incessantly.

"No way, are you even capable of this, Sparrow?"

At this moment, Araki was still leaning against the window in the Eleventh Division Captain's room, which was used for ventilation, just like he always was, looking out and shaking his head.

Senjiro Suzabe isn't like Ryu Terui, can you please stop making him worry all the time? Is he even capable of doing this?!

cough cough...

There was no way around it; the sight of his dear friend, Sasakibe, lying on the ground after being hacked down was simply too pitiful…

After a period of intense fighting between the Sparrow Division and the Retsu of the Rabbit,

Every morning, no matter how busy she was, she would always take some time to groom her meticulously styled gray slicked-back hair. Now, it was covered in disgusting bloodstains. Her once clean and tidy gray short hair had curled up because of the bloodstains, making her look incredibly slovenly!

Not only that, but the haori shirt that Chojiro Sasakibe was wearing, which he was so proud of and which he always kept clean and tidy, was now stained blackish-red with blood...

Even Chojiro Sasaki himself wasn't sure whether the blood staining his haori came from his own or from Unori Retsu's Zanpakuto.

As for whether the blood was from Unoritake's body, Chojiro Sasakibe never dared to consider it, because until now, his sword had never touched Unoritake's body, not even once.

At this moment, Quebu was nowhere near his usual gentlemanly demeanor; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he looked like a beggar from somewhere.

"Although I don't want to admit it, the gap in strength is just too big!"

"So much so that even if I fought Uno no Retsu a hundred times, I would still be the one to lose!"

"Hehe, all I can say is that Captain Uno truly lives up to her reputation as the woman who created the 11th Gotei 11 and earned the name Kenpachi! Her strength is simply unattainable, completely boundless~"

"So, having defeated a terrifying being like Uo, Araki, just how high have you reached?!"

Lying in a sea of ​​blood, Sasuke gazed at Uno's figure, which resembled a demonic Valkyrie, and let out a series of long sighs in despair. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't even touch the hem of Uno's clothes! For Sasuke, who had already stepped into the threshold of Captain-level Shinigami, that was still an unattainable, overwhelming power…

Sasakibe knew perfectly well that if Uno Retsu didn't possess the strength, he couldn't have single-handedly created the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 and earned the name 'Kenpachi'! At the same time, Sasakibe was utterly shocked by Araki's true strength, the one who defeated Uno! Sasakibe knew that Araki had actually held back during their fight…

"Suzumebe, is this your limit?!"

Compared to Chojiro Sasakibe, who lay panting in a sea of ​​blood, Uno Retsu, wielding his sword with one hand, was much more relaxed! Indeed, Uno Retsu didn't expend much effort to cut Sasakibe down...

It has to be said that the gap between Sparrowbe and Uno is truly enormous! So much so that Uno Retsu didn't even finish his warm-up exercises, let alone fight to his heart's content, before Sparrowbe was already on the verge of collapse...

"At least force me to use the hidden sword in my left hand before you lie down!"

Looking at the fallen Sparrowbeard who remained motionless on the ground, Uno no Retsu's eyes held a hint of pity...
