Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

If, after returning to the First Division barracks, Sparrowbe honestly told that old geezer, "Araki told me, that child isn't his! It's a debt of love you left behind when you were young!"

Then, the moment Quebu finished speaking, the old man from the mountain wielding the 'Broken Flame Katana' would probably come charging over...

Therefore, in Araki's opinion, it is best to proceed cautiously.

"gone!"

After bidding farewell to Araki, Sasakibe hurriedly returned to the First Division barracks.

"How to say!?"

Yamamoto Genryusai stood in the team's room, having been 'waiting' for the saga club for quite some time.

At this moment, Yuan Liuzhai, who was asking the question to the Sparrow Division, was extremely 'uneasy' inside.

"Lord Yuan Liuzhai, everything is as you predicted!"

Upon hearing this, the Sparrowbeard respectfully reported to Yamamoto Genryusai.

"That child really is..."

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto's pupils dilated sharply. He knew his apprentice was somewhat unreliable and lacked self-control, but he never imagined he could be this utterly unreliable! He'd really produced a 'grandson' for him.

"Ha ha……"

As Quebu looked at Genryusai, whose pupils trembled violently, his last trace of doubt disappeared. It seemed that, just as Araki had said, the child might indeed have a close relationship with Lord Genryusai.

"it is good!"

After a long silence, Yamamoto Genryusai softly uttered a single word: "Good."

At this moment, Yamamoto had made up his mind. He planned to personally teach Araki's child. He was determined to educate his good 'grandson' into the best person in the world.

"I understand! I understand everything..."

After hearing what Yuan Liuzhai said, Quebu nodded repeatedly.

"Lord Yuan Liuzhai, please rest assured, I will do my best to assist that child."

Then, without hesitation, Quebu looked at Yamamoto Genryusai and spoke seriously.

"Um!?"

Yamamoto's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this; he wondered what had gotten into him this time.

However, Yamamoto didn't say anything until the very end; he just nodded silently.

Yamamoto's actions made Sasakibe even more convinced that his judgment was correct.

the other side……

After Saito was slashed away by Zaraki's sword, she fought Zaraki five more times...

Unfortunately, all five battles ended with Saito being defeated by Zaraki. Saito tried everything he could think of, but he couldn't gain even the slightest advantage over Zaraki!

At this point, Saito realized that Zaraki and Uno Retsu were the same kind of people—born fighting machines, monsters with an unparalleled keen awareness of combat!

Saito then abandoned her plan to continue sparring with Zaraki. She decided to implement Plan B: to raise a child even stronger than Zaraki, and then defeat him...

"Ugh……"

Araki, sitting in the team's headquarters, sighed helplessly.

Araki watched as Saito, seemingly immortal despite repeated defeats, shook his head repeatedly. In Araki's opinion, Saito was far too stubborn; if he were Saito, he would never engage in close combat with Zaraki...

Instead, he used Saito's own Zanpakuto ability to fly into the air, then unleashed a barrage of attacks on Zaraki on the ground. The damage didn't need to be too high; just enough to pose a threat to Zaraki was sufficient. Then he waited for Zaraki to 'die from exhaustion'.

As for Saito's inner plans, Araki was unaware of them at this moment...

What's truly troubling Araki right now is that with the boy "Zaraki" joining their squad, his Eleventh Division barracks are likely to become even more lively.

But none of that matters right now. The most important thing is to solve the problem of rumors.

Therefore, Araki carefully selected from the members of his own squad, and finally chose a few of the more clever members to take to his squad leader's room.

"I've been watching how you all perform! The reason I approached you is because, in my opinion, you're all among the more clever members of our 'Eleventh Division'."

"And today, I have a very important task for you! I wonder if you can handle it well for me?!"

Araki sat in the captain's room, looking at the 11th Division members he had summoned into the room, and asked them with a smile.

"Please rest assured, Captain Araki, whatever the mission may be, please leave it to us!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the 11th Division agreed without hesitation. In their eyes, serving Araki was the greatest honor.

"Ha ha……"

"Since that's the case, then I'll explain the detailed plan for this mission to you all."

"Remember this, all of you: once you hear the detailed plan for the mission, there will be no turning back!"

Araki's 'kind' expression at the moment greatly reduced the vigilance of the 'Eleventh Division' members in front of him.

"Please speak! We are all prepared!"

"We would do anything, even assassinate the Central 46!"

The members Araki recruited were all veterans of the 11th Division, people who had experienced the incidents when the Inquisitors of the 46 Chambers came to cause trouble. They had never forgotten what the 46 Chambers had done to them back then, and still felt that the memory was still vivid and clear. Therefore, they had no respect whatsoever for this so-called "Soul Society" or "highest law enforcement agency".

"Haha, don't worry! It's not something as extremely difficult as assassinating the '46th Chamber'~"

"I just hope you can help me spread a message within this 'Seireitei'..."

Araki chuckled softly and continued his sermon.

"This is far too easy for us. Just tell us what kind of rumors you want us to spread within this 'Seireitei'!"

After hearing what Araki said, the team members all perked up their ears.

At the same time, some team members shifted their bodies and leaned slightly forward towards Araki, seemingly hoping to hear the upcoming mission more clearly in this way.

"You guys figure out a way to make the rumor that 'Zaraki' is actually the illegitimate son of 'Gotei 1' founder Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni resound throughout the entire Seireitei..."

Araki didn't speak, but instead used 'Heavenly Void' on everyone in the room, directly sending the tasks he needed to assign to them into their minds...

There was no way around it; Araki was always a cautious and steady person when it came to doing things.

"Well... how about we go and assassinate the 'Central 46' instead?"

When the members of the 11th Division heard Araki's words, their pupils all trembled violently.

Rather than spreading the rumor that "Zaraki" was actually Captain-Commander Yamamoto's illegitimate son, they would still prefer to assassinate the "Central 46." At least with Araki's protection, they would likely not be sentenced to death for assassinating the Central 46; at most, they would be imprisoned in the deepest hell for a thousand or eight hundred years...

However, the consequences of publicizing this news would likely be far more serious than simply being imprisoned! Without a doubt, once this news spreads within the Seireitei, Captain-Commander Yamamoto will be furious…

The members of the 11th Division felt a chill run down their spines at the thought of Captain-Commander Yamamoto wielding the Ryujin Jakka and going completely berserk.

"How about it? Just as I said, isn't this task quite simple?!"

Just as the eyelids of the 11th Division members were twitching wildly, Araki's gentle voice slowly rang in their ears.

"Easy! Easy! It's so easy..."

After hearing Araki's words, the members of the 11th Division nodded in agreement.

In reality, at this moment, all the members of the 11th Division were practically cursing under their breath.

However, Araki didn't care what these soldiers were thinking at all; he only cared whether his beloved teacher Yamamoto could feel the deep kindness in his disciple.

Chapter 101 Arrangements will be made for our dear teacher Yuan Liuzhai in a few years.

The next day...

The day after Araki began intentionally spreading false information throughout the Seireitei to influence public opinion.

Araki approached Zaraki, intending to begin systematic instruction for him.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

Upon seeing Araki, Zaraki excitedly picked up his wooden sword from his shelf, eager to continue the fight.

Let's put the fighting on hold for now!

Araki looked at the excited Zaraki and spoke calmly.

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Zaraki looked puzzled.

Although he is not yet able to have a 'conversation' or 'communicate' like a normal person, he can understand the meaning of what others say; he just doesn't know how to speak it...

So when Araki suggested putting the battle aside for now, Zaraki showed 'doubt' and 'dissatisfaction'—the first time in his life he had ever displayed such displeasure…

"Crack~"

Araki ignored Zaraki's dissatisfaction. Instead, in front of Zaraki, he moved a blackboard into the 'sword dojo' and began writing and drawing on it.

"This is the first lesson I'm giving you, teaching you to recognize words and speak!"

Araki first wrote his and Zaraki's names on the blackboard, then turned around and looked at Zaraki, speaking softly.

"Learning to read and speaking... are useless!"

"Fight! Fighting is effective!"

To everyone's surprise, after listening to Araki's words, Zaraki began to resist. He didn't like studying; he only liked fighting!

For a moment, Zaraki's resistance to Araki's lessons resembled that of elementary school students who only liked physical education and disliked academic subjects...

"Zaraki, your sword was already broken by me during our battle!"

"You think you can't defeat me with a real sword? Do you really think you can defeat me with just a wooden sword?!"

Araki looked at Zaraki and asked.

"Forehead……"

After hearing Araki's words, Zaraki fell silent. He looked at the wooden sword in his hand and fell into deep thought. His undefeated record during this period had almost made him forget that he had already been defeated by Araki.

"Knife! Knife!!"

After thinking for a while, Zaraki dropped the wooden sword in his hand and reached out to Araki for his own sword.

"Your knife is broken..."

Araki explained.
