Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

The two elders burst into laughter after hearing Shi Tan's words, showering him with praise, as if they greatly admired him...

"Thank you for your appreciation, Uncle!" Shi Tan smiled slightly at the two elders who were praising him, while thinking to himself, "Hmm, this guy is playing the good cop!"

"What do you mean by praise? You are just that outstanding! I was just stating the facts!"

Upon hearing this, the two elders immediately waved their hands at Shi Tan, indicating that they had not meant to praise him; he was always the one to speak the truth…

It was only after the second elder of the Tsunayo family finished praising Tokitan that he winked gently at the third elder beside him.

“Shi Tan! Although your second uncle and I both hope that you can be successfully elected as one of the family’s five elders, you also know that compared to the other candidates for the position, you are too young…”

"Of course we're not saying you're not strong enough. As a disciple of the current 'Kenpachi,' you naturally have no problem with being weak! It's just that when people are young, they are prone to acting impulsively, and once they act impulsively, they are prone to causing irreversible consequences. The 'Five Elders' of the Tsunayoshiro family need impulsiveness the least."

"Of course, we old guys aren't saying we want to stop you young people from showing your talents, but some things aren't necessarily better just because you're young..."

"Look, how about this? Since you're planning to run for one of the family's 'Five Elders,' the family is willing to give such an outstanding young man as you the opportunity to run for one of the 'Five Elders'..."

"After discussions between your 'second uncle' and me, we have decided to hand over some of the family's businesses to you first. If you can achieve suitable results in these businesses, then the family is willing to let you try to succeed the current 'Five Elders'."

The three elders were clearly in charge of playing the "bad cop," and they immediately pointed out all of Shi Tan's shortcomings.

However, Shi Tan was simply too outstanding. At such a young age, he had already reached the level of 'second-class' spiritual power or above. Such strength was unparalleled among all the younger generation of the 'Five Great Nobles'. Therefore, after thinking for a long time, the 'Three Elders' could only use the fact that Shi Tan was still young as an excuse.

At the same time, the three elders' words were watertight. They first said the ugly things, and then expressed their willingness to give Shi Tan a chance. It was as if they played both the "bad guy" and the "good guy". As for whether Shi Tan could make a difference in the family business entrusted to him, that was not important to the three elders. What was important was that Shi Tan was definitely not good enough to compete with the five elders in this election.

"..."

Shi Tan listened silently to the evaluations of him from his two clan elders. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly felt that everything was so utterly meaningless...

Suddenly, Shi Tan decided he no longer wanted to play this boring aristocratic game with his two 'elders'.

“Master, you were right after all. If we had left this vast Soul Society to these incompetent people, it would have made absolutely no progress!”

"Unbeknownst to us, even those conservative old folks in our 'Tsunayoshiro' family have become shackles on the 'family's' progress! Not to mention, there are countless such 'muddled' old folks in this 'Soul World'..."

Shi Tan recalled the words Araki had taught him, and he seemed to see through the tedious tricks of these nobles before him.

"Shi Tan, you've heard what your 'third uncle' said, so let's just settle this matter here!"

"Why don't you hurry up and thank your 'Third Uncle'? This kind of training opportunity is very rare!"

Seeing that Shitan hadn't spoken for a long time, the two elders of the Tsunayo family smiled and spoke to Shitan, seemingly to smooth things over for the three elders and to give Shitan a way out.

"Hahaha……"

When Tan heard what the "two elders" said, he suddenly looked up and laughed loudly, his laughter filled with disdain for the "two elders" and "three elders".

"why are you laughing?!"

Upon hearing Shi Tan's laughter, the second and third elders of the Tsunayo family's expression changed drastically; they seemed to be thoroughly enraged by Shi Tan's disdain.

"I laugh at you two incompetent old good-for-nothings..."

Shi Tan looked at his two clan elders and said disdainfully.

"What did you say? Say it again if you dare?"

Upon hearing Tokiyo's words, the second and third elders of the Tsunayo family were immediately enraged. Their eyes sharpened, and they continuously unleashed powerful spiritual pressure.

"Humph!"

Shi Tan felt the spiritual pressure from the two elders in front of him, but he just snorted disdainfully. Suddenly, a huge spiritual pressure that completely crushed the two elders burst out from Shi Tan's body, forcibly suppressing the power unleashed by the two elders.

"Forehead……"

When the second and third elders of the Tsunayo family sensed the spiritual pressure within Shitan that completely overwhelmed them in both quality and quantity, their expressions changed drastically. They had thought Shitan was powerful, but they had never imagined that Shitan was this powerful.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in being one of the 'Five Elders' of the family!"

Shi Tan looked at the two clan elders in front of him and spoke calmly.

"Oh, okay, okay..."

After hearing what Shi Tan said, the two elders of the Gangya family exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

At the same time, the two elders breathed a sigh of relief, believing that this meant Shi Tan was yielding to them...

For a moment, the two elders were filled with confidence again. So what if Shi Tan was powerful? Could he possibly resist them, the elders of the Gangmidai clan?! This Gangmidai clan didn't belong to the young people; it belonged to them, the old folks…

"I plan to become the head of the Tsunayo family directly!"

However, before the two elders could breathe a sigh of relief, Shi Tan's voice rang in their ears once again.

"what?!"

"Shi Tan, have you gone mad?!"

"You're not even one of the 'Five Elders'! What qualifications do you have to run for head of the Tsunayo family?"

Upon hearing Shi Tan's words, both elders' expressions changed. In their view, Shi Tan must be insane to say something as stupid as directly running for the position of head of the Gangmi family!

"You have misunderstood..."

"I'm not saying I'm running for the next head of the Tsunayoshiro family. I'm just letting you know that I want to be the next head of the Tsunayoshiro family!"

"This isn't to make you consider whether I have the right to be the head of the Tsunayoshiro family! I'm just informing you, that's all..."

With an air of domineering arrogance, Tsuna spoke coldly to the two elders of his clan.

"What did you say?!"

At this moment, the two elders were dumbfounded. Since they became the second and third elders of the Gangmida family, they had never encountered a clansman like Shitan who did not take them seriously.

"Are you deaf? Then I'll repeat myself one more time: I'm determined to be the head of the Tsunami clan, and even His Majesty the Spirit King can't change my mind! I said it..."

"Alright, that's all I have to say. You two old bastards, remember to inform the other tribesmen for me."

After Shi Tan finished speaking, he was unwilling to stay there for even a moment longer. He turned around, pushed open the conference room door, and strode away.

"You'll regret it! You'll regret it!"

"Rebel against the Heavenly Gang! Rebel against the Heavenly Gang!!"

"You really have been corrupted by 'Yuanliu'. You are no longer a member of our Tsunayoshiro family..."

As Shi Tan walked out of the conference room, only the two old dogs remained, still barking wildly. However, neither of the two old dogs dared to chase after him, because they both knew in their hearts that they were no match for Shi Tan.

"call……"

"Finally, I feel comfortable!"

Shi Tan walked out of the conference room, ignoring the barking of the two old dogs behind him, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

His initial agitation had finally subsided after his outburst...

"Next, it's time to meet up with the teachers!"

Shi Tan walked briskly toward the direction where Araki and the others were.

On the way...

Shida also encountered Kyoraku and Ukitake, who were also heading in the same direction as Araki.

"Yo yo yo, isn't this Lord Tsunayoshiro Tokinada? How's it going? Have you become the head of your Tsunayoshiro family yet?"

Jing Le noticed that Shi Tan was as sarcastic and unsettling as ever.

"I heard your sister-in-law is pregnant? I told you to make a move sooner rather than later?"

"Look at you, you looked like a complete loser back then. Now look what's happened, it's all too late, sigh..."

Shi Tan wasn't angry when he saw Kyoraku. He looked at the hat on Kyoraku's head that made him nauseous, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then pretended to be sad as he spoke to Kyoraku.

"Huh?! What nonsense are you spouting, you bastard..."

Upon hearing Shitan's words, Kyoraku's eyelids twitched slightly, and he almost drew his sword and unleashed his Bankai.

"Before you criticize me, why don't you listen to what you said before and see just how foolish it was?"

Shi Tan angrily shouted at Jing Le.

"Got it! You're planning to spar with me for a few moves?"

As Kyoraku spoke, he drew his Zanpakuto from his waist.

"Seek death!"

Shi Tan smiled dismissively; he knew the abilities of Kyoraku's Zanpakuto perfectly.

Of course, Kyoraku was also extremely familiar with the abilities of his Zanpakuto...

"Alright, you two, stop it now! Don't keep Araki-sensei waiting too long..."

Seeing that Shitan and Jingle were about to fight again, Fuzhu quickly tried to smooth things over between them.

"Humph~"

Upon hearing this, both Shida and Kyoraku sheathed their Zanpakuto and gave each other disdainful looks.

"Ugh……"

Fukitake looked at the scene before him and sighed helplessly.

"gone!"

Therefore, Ukitake used Shunpo to take the lead.

"Wait for me!"

When Shitan and Kyoraku saw Ukitake 'run away', their expressions changed immediately, and they used Shunpo to catch up with him.

Based on their understanding of Araki, if everyone is late, they probably won't be criticized; however, if someone arrives first, then everyone who arrives later will be criticized...

the other side……

In a very famous teahouse within the Seireitei.

The captains of the 8th, 9th, and 13th Divisions have all arrived.

Clearly, they were all summoned by Araki.

"what?!"

However, these three captains were unaware that Araki had invited not only them, but also the other captains!

So much so that when the three team leaders arrived and entered the teahouse private room at the same time, they paused for a moment after meeting face to face...

"That's right! It's the Daisy Room."
