Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

He ended up staying in Junrin-an Ward, which was only a step away from Seireitei, and selling ramen in front of Yamamoto Genryusai, deliberately going against Yamamoto Genryusai... He almost believed Yamamoto Genryusai's words.

Of course, Suzakube wouldn't point this out in front of Yamamoto; otherwise, he wouldn't have served Yamamoto for so long. With his high emotional intelligence, he would simply give Yamamoto a thumbs up and reply, "Ah, yes, yes, yes! You're absolutely right!"

However, there was one thing that Sparrowbe knew better than anyone else: Araki's position in Yamamoto Genryusai's heart was absolutely unique! After all, Araki was the only man in a thousand years to receive the "Genryu Menkyo Kaiden" from Yamamoto Genryusai, and he was Yamamoto's one and only chief disciple.

Even though Araki really angered Yamamoto Genryusai back then, even to the point where Yamamoto almost drew his sword, in the end, Yamamoto Genryusai wasn't completely helpless against Araki and just let him go on vacation, was he? After all, this was a 'good disciple' that Yamamoto Genryusai had personally trained, so no matter how angry he was, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and accept it.

Even after Yamamoto Genryusai successfully took over Seireitei and eliminated his competitors, fearing that Araki might not have a good life in Yukitokai, Yamamoto Genryusai specially found a spendthrift servant for Araki who could guarantee Araki's quality of life, was not very bright, and could be manipulated by Araki at will...

—Yes, this generous spender is none other than Saito Immortal.

In order to ensure that Saito would send money to Araki every month, Yamamoto specially gave Saito twice the monthly salary of other squad leaders.

All I can say is, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!

Saito still believes that the reason she receives an extra salary each month compared to other captains is because she is smarter and performs better than the other captains.

Little did he know that Yamamoto was afraid that Saito, this "great cleverness," would be tricked out of his underwear by Araki, and that he would end up going hungry himself.

Meanwhile, the Sixth Division.

"Hey hey hey..."

"I have good news for you all, Araki, 'hiccup'~ Araki has agreed to come to Seireitei!"

"Then he'll take over as the vice-captain of the Sixth Division."

"At that time, our Sixth Division will become the strongest division among the Gotei 13, second only to the First Division where Yamamoto is! Let's celebrate! Hahahaha..."

The Sixth Division Captain, Saito Immortal, was extremely excited. She held a sake jar in her hand and drank it down in big gulps, while the Sixth Division members lay on the ground beside her, all of them obviously drunk.

Unbeknownst to the excited and immortal Saito, a member of the First Division dressed in a jet-black Shinigami uniform was frantically taking notes on the rafters of her Sixth Division barracks, recording the information uttered by the 'drunken' Saito.

Eleventh Division.

At the sword-fighting dojo.

A beautiful woman with a graceful figure, pretty face, and long black hair flowing down her back stood steadily in the dojo, holding a wooden sword in her hand, surrounded by a group of powerful Shinigami warriors.

Let's come together!

After a few seconds of confrontation between the woman and the soldiers, the woman softly uttered four words.

"Kill!!"

The next moment, the soldiers who had surrounded the woman shouted and slashed at her.

"Haha~"

Faced with such a terrifying scene, the woman merely smiled. Then, with lightning speed, she swung her wooden sword at the group of soldiers!

"Clap clap clap..."

In an instant, accompanied by the soft sounds of wooden swords colliding with flesh, the soldiers surrounding the woman were sent flying backward! The beautiful woman standing in the center, however, looked completely relaxed, her long black hair fluttering gently in the air currents created by the sword strikes, while her opponents lay motionless on the ground…

"Too weak! These guys don't interest me at all."

"Is there no longer any opponent in this world who can satisfy me?!"

The woman looked at the soldiers she had counted and cut down, but there was no joy in her eyes.

The woman's originally cold and sharp eyes flickered with a hint of melancholy. She raised her head and looked out the window of the dojo at the scenery outside, silently thinking and hoping that someone in the vast Soul Society would appear who could match her or even defeat her.

"The captain is really too strong!"

"Isn't that obvious? The captain is a woman known as 'Kenpachi,' the most powerful Shinigami in the entire Soul Society besides Captain-Commander Yamamoto."

"I dare say there is absolutely no one in this world who can defeat the captain."

Just as the woman was looking out the window with melancholy, feeling incredibly lonely because she couldn't find any opponents, the members of the Eleventh Division of the Gotei 11 who were lying on the ground got up one by one and muttered to themselves.

To these soldiers, the woman before them was the most powerful being in the world, an object of their worship, and someone who could lead them all forward…

The reason is that the woman before them is none other than the legendary first captain of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, Uno Yachiru! She is also the first person to receive the title of Kenpachi! She is the woman who subdued all sword styles in the entire Soul Society with just the sword in her hand.

"I'm so lonely! I long to meet a worthy opponent!"

As he listened to his fellow soldiers' words, Yachiru Ueno's eyes grew increasingly lonely.

the other side……

Rukongai, East 37th Ward, Ruyan.

In a desolate forest, Araki sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his Zanpakuto.

This is the place Araki carefully selected to learn Bankai! It is also where Yamamoto Shigekuni learned Bankai from Chojiro Sasakibe. Naturally, it is also the origin of Yamamoto's transformation from the 丿字斋 (Sai ​​of the left radical) to the 十字斋 (Sai ​​of the right radical), and then the place he named Genryusai.

"Then, Luminous Light! Here I come."

Araki closed his eyes tightly, and as he whispered to himself, his consciousness seemed to sink into the sea. That was the place where his soul resided, a space forged from Araki's heart, and also the place where his Zanpakuto 'dwelled'.

"Oh~ You've come again, my 'King'!"

"Are you here this time for Bankai?"

"Your spiritual pressure is 'barely' sufficient, but Bankai isn't so easy to learn~"

Within Araki's consciousness space, a being dressed in a green robe, whose gender was completely ambiguous and whose appearance made it impossible to tell whether they were a loli or a shota, greeted Araki softly in a voice that sounded like both a boy and a girl.

"k·room·Piercing Wave!"

Araki smiled slightly, raised his Zanpakuto, imbued it with his Devil Fruit ability, and used his strongest awakened Devil Fruit power to assassinate the boy.

"boom!"

The boy had no time to react to Araki's attack, which was like a divine spear.

In an instant, a four-thousand-meter-long sword pierced straight through the boy's chest.

"I have never seen such a 'king' who lacks martial ethics!"

The boy looked at the attack that had pierced his chest, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. He raised his head and glared at Araki, shouting in an extremely hoarse voice.

"So you've seen it today!"

"Enough with the nonsense, just tell me your real (Bankai) name!"

Araki looked at the Zanpakuto spirit he had tricked and smiled coldly.

Others train in Bankai, treat their own Zanpakuto like royalty, and even beg their Zanpakuto to tell them its name!

Araki is training his Bankai, and he's going all out from the start, ready to fight anyone who dares to challenge him! Once he defeats his own Zanpakuto, he'll naturally learn the name of its Bankai.

Even his own Zanpakuto, Araki, wouldn't tolerate such treatment! As for whether Araki would be harassed by his Zanpakuto? Araki didn't care at all! In the face of absolute power, everything else is insignificant.

Two updates every day from now on!

Chapter 6 The weather is very nice

"Boom!"

One after another, sounds as if the sky were collapsing echoed through the woods of 'Ryugen' in the 37th district of the East of Rukongai!

The noise continued for two full days, until it abruptly stopped on the morning of the third day.

As the roar subsided, members of the Gotei 13, armed with their Zanpakuto, rushed to the scene to investigate.

When this member of the Gotei 13 saw the desolate scene in the Rugan Ward of Yulkou City, a chill ran down his spine, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn it, has this place been struck by a natural disaster?! What happened to turn this entire forest into such a ruin?"

In the eyes of this Grim Reaper, the once neatly arranged forest had vanished, replaced by groves of trees scattered haphazardly on the ground, like wheat harvested by a scythe. The earth was riddled with craters, as if repeatedly battered by endless thunderbolts.

This Shinigami soldier had never seen such a terrifying scene. Even the daily battles between the captains of the Gotei 13 would not cause such a devastating blow to an entire area of ​​Yukitokai, as if it had been baptized by a natural disaster.

"Ugh……"

"How am I supposed to report this to my superiors?"

"Should we tell the captain that the Ryugen Ward of the 37th East District of Rukongai was hit by a large-scale 'thunderstorm' of unknown cause?!"

"The captain isn't so easily fooled!"

After carefully examining the area before him, which had been reduced to ruins by an attack of unknown cause, the Grim Reaper sighed helplessly as he looked at the scorched earth on the ground.

We have some good news and some bad news!

The good news is that he hasn't encountered any crisis that could threaten the lives of the Gotei 13 members yet; in short, it's not dangerous here.

The bad news is that he can't give a reasonable explanation for the land before him, which seems to have been swept away by the Captain-Commander's Zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka...

He couldn't very well tell his superiors, "The suspected commander-in-chief went mad in the Liuyan District, could he?!" He'd get his head ripped off if he did that...

This resulted in him not knowing how to report the current situation to his superiors.

"What should I do?!"

For a moment, the young Death Squad member was perplexed by the scene before him.

"Um?!"

Just as the young Grim Reaper was pondering how to fudge his investigation report, a dark shadow in the distant woods caught his attention.

"Buzz!"

Without any hesitation, the Shinigami soldiers used Shunpo to chase after the shadow in the forest.

"..."

In the woods, a boy who didn't look very old, dressed in tattered and patched clothes, kept glancing in the direction of the Shinigami.

Just when the boy thought he had been careful enough not to attract the attention of the Shinigami, the Shinigami disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye.

"what?"

The boy stared blankly at the empty ruins, a warning bell ringing in his mind.

"Hey! Kid, what are you looking for?"

Just as the boy was wondering where the Shinigami had gone, a cold voice slowly rang out from behind him.

"Forehead……"

In an instant, the boy felt an endless chill rush from his heels to the top of his head.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong! I didn't mean to spy on you!"

"I was just gathering some wild vegetables in the woods to eat for the night when I happened to see you, so I took a second look at you. I meant no harm, please don't kill me."
