Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Um?!"

Only the man known as Woling Tiezhai's pupils shrank slightly after seeing his master, the Great Ghost Daoist, unleashing a barrage of thunderous cannons. In terms of ghost Dao talent, his talent surpassed that of the Great Ghost Daoist, so he sensed something was amiss.

"boom!"

Just as Tetsuzai was deep in thought, the Great Demon Master's Flying Dragon Strike Thunder Cannon had already shot into the sky, colliding with Araki and the 'dragon' beneath Araki's feet!

Immediately afterwards, a loud bang came from the sky, and the 'dragon' suddenly fell straight down from the sky towards everyone.

"it is good!"

To the onlookers of the Ghost Path, this scene appeared as if their Great Ghost Path Master had successfully blasted the Ghost Path into the sky a thousand meters high, subsequently knocking down the soaring 'Divine Dragon' and the man standing atop its head.

However, only the Great Ghost Master and the Deputy Ghost Master, Wo Ling Tie Zhai, noticed something amiss.

"Run! Run!"

At this moment, the Great Ghost Master had lost his previous composure. He kept shouting to the ghost followers around him, hoping that everyone would disperse quickly.

Unfortunately, everyone was still immersed in their joy and had no reaction to the impending crisis in the sky!

"The chosen ones of heaven, the iron walls, the dragon's flight, the lion's roar, the tiger's howl, the wolf's charge, severing heaven and earth before collapse, the eighty-first binding of the Dao: Severing the Void!"

In contrast, the moment Tetsuzai saw the 'divine dragon' descend from the sky, he began to chant!

As Tetsuzai Wakashi finished speaking, a transparent wall of light appeared in the sky, blocking the Ghost Path troops from the dragon!

"...Binding Spell Number Eighty-One: Severing the Void!!"

The old man, who was the current Great Demon Master, did not waste any time. He quickly completed the incantation of the Binding Path and released a wall in the sky that was even thicker than the light of Tsukasa Rinpoche.

"Roar!!"

Just as the two Ghost Daoists finished unleashing their Void-Severing Technique, the divine dragon in the sky roared and, amidst the cheers and laughter of the Ghost Daoists on the ground, 'descended from the sky' and crashed into the crowd.

"Wow..."

The two demonic masters, having exhausted almost all their spiritual pressure to unleash their Void Severing Technique, found it as fragile as glass before the 'divine dragon,' which then charged straight at them...

"boom!!"

A tremendous explosion filled the entire barracks of the Oni-do Clan.

The previously noisy demons all fell silent, lying on the ground with their eyes rolled back, completely unconscious. The old man, the current Grand Demon Master, was bleeding from all seven orifices, kneeling on one knee, blood gushing from his mouth!

"The dragon beneath your feet is not the Bankai of your Zanpakuto! It is the legendary Hado of Number Ninety-Nine: Goryū Tenmei!"

The Great Ghost Taoist priest gently patted his chest and spoke unwillingly to the young man standing in the smoke and dust.

When the Great Demon Master saw his 88th Kido being neutralized by the young man in the sky using the technique of 'anti-demon mutual destruction', he knew he had lost! And as the 'divine dragon' flying thousands of meters in the sky descended from the heavens, the Great Demon Master, who was extremely sensitive to Kido, finally realized that the 'dragon' was not Araki's Bankai, but rather, like his 88th Hado, it belonged to the Hado category of Kido!

However, unlike his 88th Hado, Araki used the legendary 99th Hado, a Hado that had been lost for a very long time and had not been used by anyone for a very long time...

The moment this Kido, which even the current Grand Kido Master of the Kido Clan had only seen in books, appeared, the Grand Kido Master realized that he had been blind to the truth at first, mistaking this legendary Hado for the Bankai of the Thirteenth Division. In the Grand Kido Master's eyes, this was simply a desecration of the Hado!

Today I finally got to see it, but it's a pity that it wasn't a member of their Kido Clan who used this move, but rather the Shinigami of the Gotei 13... This completely shattered the pride in the Great Kido Master's heart. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew that the truth and facts wouldn't change just because he didn't admit it!

The truth is that from this day forward, the Kido sect can no longer call themselves the 'Seireitei's' most skilled Kido organization. The truth is that the 'Grand Kido Master' will step down from today, and the new person to take the position of Grand Kido Master is a member of the Gotei 13, whom he hates the most.

"Are you two the most skilled in 'Kido' among the 'Kido Clan'?!"

Araki did not answer the question from the great demon priest in front of him. He looked at the white-haired old man and the tall, burly man beside him and asked.

"Compared to you, we are not skilled in the ways of the demons!"

After hearing Araki's words, Tessai humbly replied.

"No need for modesty! Your ability to withstand my Five Dragons Annihilation Slash is enough to prove your understanding of the Ghost Path!"

Araki shook his head and gave his approval to Tsukasa Rinpoche and the white-haired, great demon priest beside him.

"Blocked? You call that blocking?!"

Upon hearing this, Tetsuzai looked around blankly at the Kido Clan's barracks, which had been completely destroyed by Araki's Uryūgen-no-Mikoto, and the Kido Clan members who had fainted on the ground. How could this be called blocking?

That was a gamble with the combined spiritual pressure of the two Ghost Dao Masters, the principal and vice-principal, to break through the void! And yet they still ended up in such a sorry state, it's truly shameful!

"Don't worry! They just fainted; I was holding back my power!"

Then, Araki's next words completely broke the two demon masters' defenses.

"Was that terrifying power that just passed through two layers of void, and still seemed poised to level the entire Ghost Path Clan's camp, merely a result of the young man holding back?!"

Thinking this, the great ghost Taoist priest felt a mouthful of blood surge to his heart, and then spurted out specks of scarlet blood.

"I've come to you today to ask for your help..."

Before the two Taoist priests could say anything, Araki's voice slowly rang in their ears.

"You want our help?!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Ghost Master and the Deputy Ghost Master, Wo Ling Tie Zhai, exchanged a glance, their eyes both flashing with a strange light.

"What help can we offer?! Actually, the two of us only know a little bit about demonic arts; we probably can't be of much help to you!"

They had no idea what this incredibly powerful young man could possibly need their help, given that he only knew the Ghost Path! Worst of all, their supposedly invincible Ghost Path was utterly insignificant in the face of this young man…

"What I need is someone who can use Kido!"

"To be honest, I'm not really good at demonic arts~"

Araki looked at the two people in front of him and spoke frankly, believing that sincerity would always be the ultimate weapon.

"You say you don't know the Ghost Path?"

When Tsutsumi and the white-haired old man heard Araki's words, they rolled their eyes in anger.

"You used your demonic arts to wipe out all of us who have studied demonic arts for almost our entire lives, and now you're telling me you're not good at demonic arts? Are you asking for a beating? Even if I can't beat you, I'll still splatter your blood with my own!"

Even someone as mild-mannered as Tetsuzai Wakashi became annoyed at this moment.

"Are you kidding me! If even you don't know Kido, then what are we, who were defeated by you using Kido?!"

The old man clutched his chest with one hand, enduring the throbbing pain in his heart, and asked Araki a question in return.

Immediately afterward, before Araki could speak, the old man continued, "If you've come here to fool us, then you can leave. We'd rather die than accept your humiliation!"

"You've misunderstood me! I haven't really practiced Kido much. After all, Kido is as simple to me as breathing! Do you remember how you learned to breathe? I don't. So I can't understand how difficult it is for others to use Kido. That's why I came to find you..."

Araki looked at the old man in front of him and spoke calmly to Tetsusai.

Araki was telling the truth. With his maxed-out 'Spiritual Particle Trend' ability, Araki could indeed use Kido with incredible ease...

"Never trained? As easy as breathing?! You want to experience the difficulty of a mortal cultivating the demonic path? Forget it..."

The ancient, white-haired Taoist priest, who was over a thousand years old, fainted right in front of Araki after hearing what Araki said.

"Master! Master, are you alright?!"

Seeing this, Wo Ling Tiezhai anxiously shouted to the old man.

"He's fine. He's just old and got too excited, so he got stuck there! I've already removed the plug from his head, and I think he'll wake up soon."

Araki spoke softly to Tessai Gahishi.

"..."

However, Tetsuzai did not believe Araki's words until the old man opened his eyes. Only then did Tetsuzai breathe a sigh of relief and stand up to thank Araki: "Thank you for your help!"

"fine."

Araki waved his hand at Tessai Gahishi.

"Am I dead?!"

The great Taoist priest lying flat on the ground still looked bewildered.

"Master, you're alright! It was this captain of the Gotei 13 who saved you!"

Woling Tiezhai recounted the whole story to the old man.

"..." The old man remained silent in response, then looked at Araki with annoyance and asked, "What exactly are you doing here?!"

The reason why this great Taoist priest did not thank Araki was because he believed that if it weren't for Araki, he wouldn't have been unable to catch his breath and would have been tied up there!

"I've come to ask you to help me research the true application of the Ghost Path..."

Araki spoke frankly to the great demon master.

"you……"

After hearing Araki's words, the old man felt his heart begin to ache again.

"Because I want to combine Kido and Hakuda to create a power system that can combine the two! I wonder if you two would be interested in researching it with me?!"

Just as the old man was about to reprimand Araki, Araki shared his thoughts with the old man and Tessai Gahishi. Of course, Araki mainly told the two people present about the 'Instant Hurricane' theory that Yoruichi Shihouin had researched in the future.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, both the old man and Tetsuzai's eyes gleamed. As masters of the Kido (demonic arts), they could understand what Araki was saying. Although Araki's idea was far-fetched, upon closer examination, it seemed to be quite feasible.

"Are you a master of free-for-all?"

Upon seeing this, the old man asked Araki a question.

"Yes and no!"

Araki nodded first, then shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

The old man continued to ask.

"For me, taking freebies is like drinking water..."

Araki sighed helplessly.

"Stop, stop, stop, I understand..."

The old man couldn't bear to watch any longer, and he decided to heed Araki's words.

"So where do you plan to look for martial arts masters among mortals?"

The old man asked Araki.

"Speaking of 'hand-to-hand combat,' the strongest in Soul Society should be the Stealth Mobile Force, right?"

Araki stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly asking the old man a question, but in reality, he had already given the answer.
