Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Go see your older brother!

Kyoraku's white-haired father looked at his second son, Shunsui, whose face, which had not aged much with the passage of time due to his excessively strong spiritual pressure and spiritual body, was not much different from that of two hundred years ago. After a long time, he spoke softly.

The moment Kyoraku's father finished speaking, he looked much older...

"Go, Chunshui! Please, this time, don't argue with your father and elder brother."

After Chunshui's father passed away, Chunshui's mother held Chunshui's hand and spoke with a touch of sadness on her face.

"I see."

As Chunshui looked at the tears welling up in his mother's eyes, he nodded slightly, his heart sinking a little.

When Kyoraku Shunsui followed his parents' arrangements to visit his older brother, whom he had never really liked, he saw a middle-aged man lying in a hospital bed, with a bitter smile on his face, pale and no longer the vigor he once was.

"You've come, Jiro!"

"You've become stronger, and I'm very pleased with you."

Kyoraku's older brother lay on the hospital bed, watching Chunshui climb over the courtyard wall and enter, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although he had lost the power he once took pride in, he could sense the power contained within Chunshui. He knew that his younger brother had become stronger, far stronger than any previous head of the Kyoraku family, which brought him a great sense of peace...

In this way, the Kyoraku family wouldn't disappear from the history of Soul Society because of his fall. It also gave him a slight sense of relief. As the eldest son of a high-ranking noble family, being bedridden due to illness was incredibly shameful. If the Kyoraku family were to disappear because of this, he would be the greatest sinner of the Kyoraku family in thousands of years...

"How did you end up like this?"

Chunshui admits that he hates his older brother because his brother always uses his strength to teach him a lesson, even though he always gets beaten up because he brought it on himself...

But when Chunshui saw his once incredibly strong brother, whom he remembered, now bedridden, his eyes welled up with tears.

"What are you crying for? The Kyoraku family doesn't have a head who cries!"

Kyoraku's older brother, seeing Kyoraku Shunsui's increasingly moist eyes, suddenly became much stern. He used all his strength to prop himself up from the sickbed and scolded Shunsui.

“I…” Chunshui gritted his teeth, looking at his elder brother, his voice trembling slightly: “I am not the head of the Jingle family, you are!”

"It'll be you soon..."

Upon hearing this, Kyoraku's gaze softened considerably.

"I'll go ask the teacher to save you!"

Chunshui remained silent for a long time before finally making up his mind.

"It's no use, the spirit body has already begun to collapse, and the spiritual pressure has almost completely leaked out..."

Before Chunshui could act, his elder brother stopped him.

"Why?!"

Chunshui looked at her older brother's birth and asked him questions.

"Haha, sorry! Spring Water!"

"Your older brother overestimated himself and failed to overcome that curse."

"From now on, I entrust the Kyoraku family, your sister-in-law, and the child in her belly to you."

After hearing Chunshui's words, Chunshui's elder brother burst into laughter. His laughter contained no trace of attachment to the world, only a slight hint of regret for not being able to overcome the curse of the 'Ise' family...

Perhaps Shunsui's elder brother knew that if Shunsui asked his teacher, the legendary "Shinigami" Araki from the "Soul Society," for help, he might still be saved. However, this was not what Shunsui's elder brother sought. He possessed the pride of a nobleman, a pride that would not allow him to bow to the curse. He wanted to accept his defeat with dignity.

"Brother, do you know what I hate most about you? It's your ridiculous stubbornness, your so-called aristocratic spirit, which I find utterly worthless..."

Chunshui gripped her elder brother's hand and shouted angrily.

"Hahaha..." Chunshui's elder brother burst into laughter upon hearing this, then looked at Chunshui and asked earnestly, "Chunshui, you've been willful for hundreds of years. Can I be a little willful in the last part of my life?!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Chunshui's face darkened, and he nodded helplessly.

"Can I entrust your sister-in-law to you?"

Brother Chunshui continued to inquire.

"Ah."

Chunshui, his face still gloomy, nodded.

"Then I'm relieved, relieved..."

"Go get the wine! We're not leaving until we're drunk tonight!"

Seeing Chunshui nod, Brother Chunshui finally showed a relieved expression. He patted Chunshui's shoulder and smiled.

"Didn't you say that martial artists should abstain from alcohol?"

After hearing his elder brother's words, Chunshui raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Hey! We're about to die, why bother with rules? Of course we should eat meat to our hearts' content and drink wine from large bowls!"

Upon hearing this, Brother Chunshui, as he always did, gently tapped Chunshui on the head and then scolded him.

"Alright! Let's drink until we're drunk..."

After hearing his elder brother's words, Chunshui was first taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

For a moment, the courtyard was filled with the laughter of Chunshui and her elder brother, but as cherry blossoms fell all around, tears seemed to glisten in the corners of their eyes.

"..."

Outside the courtyard, beneath the beautiful cherry tree, Kyoraku's sister-in-law, her pregnant belly visibly round, leaned against the tree, her eyes filled with endless sorrow...

There was the pain of her husband's inability to face the curse, and also a hint of joy at Chunshui's reconciliation with her husband.

At the same time, looking at the Zanpakuto wrapped in black cloth in her arms, she secretly made up her mind.

Tsunayashiro family.

Compared to the 'warmth' of the Ukitake family and the 'farewell' of the Kyoraku family, the Tsunayo family seems much more 'harmonious'.

At this moment, all the heads of the Tsunayoshiro family, from the "head" and "head of the family" to the "second elder," "third elder," and even the "fifth elder," as well as the heads of the various branch families, were present.

It's clear that the Tsunayo family values ​​Tokinada's return highly, but their perspective on it seems to be somewhat different from that of ordinary people...

"Hey! Shi Tan's back~"

"Quick, come here and let me take a good look!"

"Hmm, truly a handsome and talented individual. No wonder he's the only one from the Tsunayoshiro family to be chosen by 'Genryu'~"

The head of the Tsuna family, who was at the head of the family, looked at Shi Nada as he walked into the meeting room, and immediately smiled and praised him.

But how many knives are hidden beneath that smile, perhaps only he, as the head of the family, knows.

"Damn it, that damned old 'scheming bastard'!" Shi Tan cursed inwardly at the head of the family, but smiled broadly. "Hahaha, patriarch, you flatter me! How can Shi Tan compare to my brothers and sisters in the 'main family'?"

"Yes! I trust Captain Araki's judgment, and I trust Captain-Commander Yamamoto's judgment even more. There must be a reason why they chose you and made you their successor..."

After hearing Shi Tan's words, Tsunayoshi slowly shook his head. He deliberately emphasized the words "successor," making the pronunciation very heavy, and then stared straight at Shi Tan, as if hoping to see something from Shi Tan's face.

"No matter who values ​​me or who nurtured me, it cannot change the fact that I am a member of the Tsunayoshiro family."

Shi Tan naturally understood what the head of the family meant. The other party was testing him to determine whether he was Shi Tan of the Gangya era or Shi Tan of the 'Yuanliu'. Shi Tan was not stupid, and he immediately emphasized his identity.

"really?"

After hearing what Tokina said, the head of the family, Tsunayoshi, continued to ask questions.

"Um?!"

This question completely baffled Shi Tan.

Seriously? Is it really necessary to be so blunt? Is this the kind of question you should ask someone face-to-face?!

"Hahaha……"

"I was just kidding!"

Just as Shi Tan was bewildered, the head of the Gangmida family suddenly burst into laughter. He stood up from his seat, gently patted Shi Tan's shoulder, and then said to the people around him, "I told you you were overthinking it. No matter whose apprentice or successor we Gangmida family members become, it cannot change the fact that we share the same ancestor's bloodline!"

"That's, that's..."

As soon as the head of the family spoke, the family head and even the five elders all smiled and agreed.

"May the Tsunayo family prosper and flourish forever!"

Immediately afterwards, the head of the family, Tsunayoshi, raised his wine glass and shouted to his superiors.

May the Tsuna Yō family prosper and flourish forever!

Everyone raised their glasses in agreement.

Of course, Shi Tan also raised his glass, but he added two words before his words: "May my Tsunayoshiro family prosper forever!"

"Laugh! Laugh! Laugh all you want, you bunch of old geezers..."

"Once I become the head of Tsunayoshiro, I'll make one of you clean the toilets, another guard the gate, and the other four take turns standing guard outside my dorm every day! Then I'll find out any small mistakes you make and kill you all, damn it..."

Shi Tan chuckled as he looked at his group of "old-timers." Being a born "bad seed," he had already begun to think about how to get rid of these damned old guys.

Meanwhile, the Shihouin family...

"Congratulations, Yoruichi, on your return to the Shihouin family!"

Let's all give them a round of applause!

"Clap clap clap..."

"Yoruichi is really something else, I was too daring!"

"Father, I think I'm about to cry!"

"Don't even mention you're about to cry, I'm already starting to shed tears!"

As the retainers and elders of the Shihōin family watched Yoruichi Shihōin, whose spiritual power had reached 'second rank' or higher and who had mastered 'Bankai' and 'Shun', they clapped excitedly. Some of the elders even whistled with tears in their eyes.

"Hee hee hee……"

Yoruichi Shihouin naturally accepted the congratulations from her elders and retainers. With a smile, she sat down at the long table laden with delicious food, then threw away her cutlery and began to dig into the food.

When Soi Fon entered Yoruichi's restaurant with the approval of the Shihouin clan elders, she saw Yoruichi Shihouin holding a whole tuna and tearing into it.

"Forehead……"
