Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"It seems that Yoruichi Shihouin is not the only one who has not learned his lesson."

Araki decided to wait until he had some free time to teach that damned pompadour Kirinji Tenjiro a good lesson.

However, before that, Araki had something more important to do. He returned to the Seireitei from Hueco Mundo not just to become the captain of this damned 11th Division... He had a much grander ideal.

"Araki, where are you going?!"

Mao seemed to sense Araki's heavy thoughts and asked him aloud.

"After seeing Yoruichi and Akagi, I had a few more ideas in my mind, so I decided to test the feasibility of those ideas."

Araki looked at Uji and explained.

However, Araki did not explain to Uno Retsu what he was going to do...

"Bon Voyage!"

Uno no Retsu didn't ask any more questions. She and Araki had lived together for over a hundred years and had developed a strong tacit understanding.

"be careful!"

Then, Uo added that although she didn't know what Araki was going to do, she had a feeling that Araki was definitely going to do something big that would shock the Soul Society.

"Don't worry, I'll be absolutely fine! You know I've always been against violence." After waving goodbye to Uno Retsu, Araki looked at Yoruichi Shihouin, who had her arms crossed in front of her with an awkward expression: "Yoruichi, remember to study Shunpo properly with your Uncle Kirinji! When I get back, I'll be checking your homework."

"And as for Qilin Temple, let me give you one more piece of advice: teach them well!"

Araki genuinely distrusted Kirinji, this 'little rascal'.

"Relax~ Relax~"

"My talent is the best in the world!"

After hearing Araki's words, Yoruichi Shihouin waved her hand lightly at Araki, looking as if her talent was absolutely superior.

"Huh? Uncle? Shouldn't it be brother?!"

Only Kirinji was conflicted; should he be Yoruichi's 'older brother' or 'uncle'? He still considered himself young!

"Ah."

Araki was somewhat relieved after receiving Yoruichi's response.

"Then what happens next..."

Araki turned around and walked away into the distance, plotting something in his mind.

Currently, within the 'Seireitei', under the 'Central Forty-Six Chambers' composed of nobles, it is mainly divided into three major institutions.

These are the Gotei 13, Shinigami who symbolize the samurai class and are modeled after samurai, responsible for protecting the safety of the Seireitei and Soul Society.

Symbolizing 'assassins,' or more accurately based on 'ninjas,' these are 'covert mobile' assassins responsible for handling the shady dealings of various nobles.

And the Onmyoji-based figures who are responsible for various barriers, seals, rituals, and ceremonies, including holding soul burial ceremonies, so that those death gods with a spiritual power of level three or above who die suddenly can successfully fall into hell.

The Gotei 13, the Onmitsukido, and the Kidoshu—these three major organizations within the Seireitei—are theoretically on equal footing! At least, that's how it appears on the surface…

The reason why Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, as the captain of the Gotei 13, could mobilize the 'Honkai Impact 3rd' and the 'Kido-shu' within his authority was simply because Yamamoto was too strong! Whether it was the 'Honkai Impact 3rd', the 'Kido-shu', or the 'Central 46', they all had to give him face.

Under normal circumstances, this situation would have continued for hundreds of years until Yoruichi Shihouin took office as both Commander-in-Chief of the 'Hidden Mobile Force' and Captain of the Second Division of the Gotei 2, which brought about a fundamental change.

Yoruichi successfully brought the "Oblivion" unit, which was once on par with the "Gotei 13," under the jurisdiction of the Second Division! And the Second Division Captain, Aya Hachisho, also known as Soi Fon, successfully continued the glory created by Yoruichi! She continued to lead the "Oblivion" unit as the captain of the Second Division.

What Araki needs to do right now is simple: before he kicks Yamamoto out of his position as captain, he needs to bring these two organizations, which are nominally on par with the 'Thirteenth Team', under his control!

In other words, Araki extended his reach to institutions outside his authority, and has even crossed the line of the 'major nobles'!

After all, for these 'nobles', the Kido-shu who were in charge of the 'barrier' operations were fine, but once Araki used the 'covert force' to handle their dirty work, they really became like cats without claws, unable to even protest except for constantly meowing.

"Although I could leave the entire Secret Service to Yoruichi to recruit, I'll pass! Let her be the vice commander. By the way, I can use the 'graduation exam' as an excuse to have her recruit those 'assassins' for me! I want both the 'Secret Service' and the 'Kido-shu'."

Araki finally made his decision: adults never make choices.

As Araki pondered this, he had already arrived outside the 'Kido-shu' barracks.

"who are you?"

Outside the gate of the massive building, the 'gatekeeper' dressed in the distinctive robes of the Kido sect immediately blocked Araki's path upon seeing him and coldly inquired.

"Who am I? I'm here to teach you 'Great Ghost Masters' the correct way to use the Ghost Path~"

After hearing the gatekeeper's question, Araki explained in an extremely calm tone, as if he was not making any boasts, but simply stating a fact to everyone.

"what?"

The gatekeeper was stunned after hearing Araki's words. This person actually dared to say that he would teach their "Great Demon Master" how to properly use the Demon Way.

If we accept what this person means, does that mean their Great Ghost Master hasn't used his ghost arts all these years? What a joke!

"Do you know who the Great Demon Master is? He is the strongest man in the entire 'Three Realms' in the use of 'Demon Path'! How could you possibly teach such a person? I see you are wearing a haori, so you should be the captain of the Gotei 13. Since you are a member of the 13th Division, you should leave now! Don't try to fool me here, otherwise we 'Demon Path' will definitely report today's events to your Captain-Commander Yamamoto and make him give us 'Demon Path' an explanation!"

The gatekeeper glared at Araki and berated him.

Araki ignored the gatekeepers' questions and simply raised his hand, speaking calmly to the 'Kido' group before him: "Hado #99, Dragon's Rebirth!"

As Araki finished speaking, a blue dragon rose from beneath his feet, lifting him into the air.

"In other words, whoever's ghost path is 'number one in the Three Realms' is the Great Ghost Master, right?"

Araki, standing on the 'dragon head', asked the Ghost Path members guarding the gate.

"Forehead……"

The Ghost Path members guarding the gate stared wide-eyed at the blue 'divine dragon' summoned by Araki.

"This thing? This level of spiritual particle concentration... is this really the Ghost Path?!"

"A debunking technique numbered ninety-nine? I've never even heard of it! If it's this kind of move, even the current Great Demon Master might not be able to use it!"

The members of the Ghost Path were completely dumbfounded. The more they understood Ghost Path, the more terrifying Araki's move was.

In fact, if he hadn't personally witnessed Araki chanting and releasing the Kido before him...

Judging solely from the degree of spiritual particle aggregation of this Kido, he would absolutely mistakenly believe that the 'divine dragon' beneath Araki's feet was not some Kido, but rather the Bankai of the Gotei 13's Zanpakuto.

"Then what happens next..."

Araki said, stepping on the 'divine dragon', and flew into the sky right in front of the Kido sect member in front of him.

Sorry everyone, the update is a bit late. I went to the hospital today to pick up the results. The preliminary diagnosis is inflammation, but there seems to be patchy pinkish material in the interstitium of the duodenum. I did an immunohistochemistry test, but I don't know what the final result will be. It seems like it shouldn't be a big problem.

Chapter 81 Tsurugi Tessai: You used Kido to wipe us out instantly, and then...

"Roar!!"

With a dragon's roar, a 'divine dragon' with an ethereal body composed entirely of spiritual particles roamed between heaven and earth. Araki stood with his hands behind his back, his feet on the 'divine dragon's' head, looking down at everything below him with his peripheral vision, just like an emperor surveying his territory.

"what happened?!"

"What's going on? What's that dragon?"

"Damn it! Who let him in?"

As the dragon's roar spread throughout the 'Ghost Path Clan's barracks, one after another, the members ran out of the barracks, looking up at the 'divine dragon' in the sky and asking questions.

"Hado #33: Azure Flame Fall!!"

At the same time, some members of the Kido sect attempted to use their powerful Kido to knock down Araki in the sky and the dragon beneath his feet.

Unfortunately, Araki stood too high; the 'Azure Fire Drop' failed to even touch the dragon's tail beneath his feet before dissipating into the world...

"Hado 32 Yellow Flame Flash!"

"Destroy yourselves, black hound of Rondanini! Read this once, burn to ashes, and slit your own throats! — Nine Strikes of Binding Spells!"

Others tried using "Binding Spell" and other "Kido" spells from a greater distance towards the sky, but none of them could hit Araki even slightly.

"Damn it, even a fully chanted Binding Spell or Hado Spell can't hit that high!"

"Damn it! Who can make that thing in the sky come down?!"

Immediately, the group of Ghost Path members frowned in distress as they watched Araki descend from the sky to cause trouble in their camp. They truly had no way to deal with Araki.

"what happened?!"

Just as everyone was in a panic, an elderly man with short white hair, wearing a purple robe and holding a Zen staff, arrived at the square where the 'Ghost Path Clan' was located, accompanied by a tall man who looked to be at least two meters tall, with an eight-pronged mustache and square glasses.

"Great Ghost Master, Deputy Ghost Master! Look at the sky!"

With the arrival of the two, the Ghost Path members finally breathed a sigh of relief, clearly having full confidence in their captain and vice-captain.

"Um?!"

The elderly man, respectfully addressed as the "Great Ghost Taoist Priest," looked up at the sound, and his pupils constricted when he saw the "divine dragon" dancing in the sky...

Immediately after he saw the young man standing with his hands behind his back above the dragon's head, and the white captain's haori that the young man was wearing, which symbolized his identity, the old man's heart was instantly filled with rage.

"That's the captain's haori from the Gotei 13? So the dragon under that young man's feet is the Bankai of his Zanpakuto?"

The old man had clearly made the same mistake as the ghostly figures who had guarded the gate before.

Or rather, as members of the Kido sect with an extremely profound understanding of Kido, they subconsciously believe that their Kido is the strongest in Soul Society, and that the Kido they cannot do, the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 cannot do either!

"Good! Good! The Gotei 13 are now bullying us Kido members! Very good!"

The old man burst into laughter while clenching his fists.

In fact, if we look at the time of their establishment, the Gotei 13, founded by Yamamoto Genryusai, is the youngest of the three major organizations within the Seireitei, with only a few hundred years of history!

But who can blame them when Captain-Commander Yamamoto is so powerful, and the Gotei 13 is always full of talented individuals?! Therefore, within the Seireitei, it is actually the youngest organization founded by Yamamoto that currently holds the most power!

This naturally made some of the elders in the Seireitei feel very dissatisfied, and the great demon priest in front of them was one of those dissatisfied elders.

“Worin Tessai, watch closely! Let me tell you how we, the Ghost Path Clan, should deal with enemies that fly in the sky…”

As the old man spoke, a powerful spiritual pressure erupted from his body, exceeding the level of a third-grade spiritual might. If the old man could cultivate both the 'Kido' and 'Zanpakuto' at the same time, he could easily become a captain in the Gotei 13.

"Hado #88 Flying Dragon Strike Thief Thunder Cannon!!"

As the old man spoke, he directly used his most proficient demonic arts. A series of muffled thunderclaps resounded in the sky, and the next second, accompanied by dazzling blue lightning, a huge electric cannon blasted towards Araki in the sky.

"Ah! It's number 88, the badass!"

"He can even abandon the chanting for those who have attained the highest level of Hakudo (a type of Daoist cultivation) above number eighty? As expected of the Great Demonic Daoist!"

The ordinary members of the Ghost Path cheered excitedly as they watched the lightning soar into the sky.
