Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Therefore, she could understand the good intentions of her own team members. They must have deliberately told her what they were saying at the door of her team leader's room, just so she could come out and scold them in front of everyone, so that she could vent her frustrations.

"Araki, you 'Number One in the Three Realms' super idiot! You have to win!!"

"You absolutely cannot lose to that wicked woman, Mao!"

Saito, who was immortal, turned around and went back to the captain's room. She leaned against the door of the captain's room behind her and silently spoke in her heart.

Chapter 14 What is a ferocious beast?!

at the same time……

The battlefield where Araki and Yachiru Ueno clashed.

As Araki unleashed her Bankai, endless, seven-colored shimmering light seemed to replace the sun in the sky, gently caressing the earth and enveloping all things. Naturally, this also enveloped Yachiru Unohana and the blood pool surrounding her…

After the Bankai of the Eight Thousand Streams of the Rabbit, the endless blood plasma released transformed into a blood pool that soaked the earth, and naturally spread to Araki's feet!

In an instant, the blood plasma submerged Araki's feet, and as more and more blood seeped in from all directions, the water level continued to rise, spreading visibly up Araki's feet toward his calves...

"Given the characteristics of our Bankai, it wouldn't be suitable to unleash them within the Seireitei!"

"As time goes on, both your sea of ​​blood and my radiant light will eventually engulf the entire Seireitei!"

Araki gazed at the Yachiru Uno standing amidst the sea of ​​blood and spoke calmly.

"Now that we've both achieved Bankai, what's the point of discussing this anymore?!"

Upon hearing this, Yachiru Uno's eyes flashed with disdain. She had already reached her limit; whether Seireitei was destroyed or not was no longer important to her...

At this moment, there is only one important thing: 'war'!

Fight until someone on either side falls!

"boom!"

Just as Araki and Uno Yachiru were talking, a spiritual pressure far more 'powerful' and 'violent' than Araki and Uno Yachiru were at that moment shot into the sky!

That spiritual pressure was different from Mu's 'cold' and 'chilling'. Just by landing on a person, one could feel waves of heat flowing into them, giving them a feeling of 'scorching', 'burning', and 'intense'...

"Um?!"

As the spiritual pressure erupted, Araki and Uno Yachiru, who had originally planned to engage in a fierce battle, both put down their swords and looked in the direction of the person burning with spiritual pressure.

A middle-aged man wearing a sleeveless white haori and with a prominent cross-shaped scar on his forehead quietly drew his Zanpakuto from his waist and whispered something.

"All things in the universe turn to ashes! Flowing Blade Like Fire!"

"boom!"

As the man's deep voice uttered the words of liberation, carrying an immense 'pressure,' the flames slowly descended, unleashing a raging inferno that engulfed half of Seireitei...

If everyone present hadn't known beforehand that this was merely the Shikai of a man's Zanpakuto, they would have mistaken the towering flames for the Bankai of a captain of the Gotei 13!

“So hot~”

"So many years have passed, but the old man's Zanpakuto is still so 'fiery', it's practically a symbol of violence!"

Araki turned to look at the scorching flames and couldn't help but smile. Seeing that his old-fashioned master was still so strong, he felt relieved.

Yes, the one who achieved this initial release was none other than Araki's master, the founder of the "Genryu" swordsmanship, the head instructor of the "Genjijutsu," the captain of the Gotei 13, and the strongest Shinigami in Seireitei—Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!

The Zanpakuto that Genryusai unleashed was naturally Ryujin Jakka, which possessed the highest attack power in Soul Society and was also the strongest fire-type Zanpakuto!

"boom!!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni ignored his long-lost disciple. He lightly swung his Zanpakuto, and endless flames moved at his will, burning in all directions. Wherever the flames raged, both the 'sea of ​​blood' and the 'rosy clouds' retreated in its wake.

By the time Araki and Uno Yachiru reacted, the blazing flames released by Ryujin Jakka had already transformed into a towering wall of fire, firmly trapping Uno Yachiru's sea of ​​blood and Araki's radiant glow within an area of ​​two spirit li in radius...

"We cannot allow you to continue destroying this Seireitei!"

After Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni finished all this, he quietly addressed Araki and Uno no Yachiru.

"Tsk~"

"If we're talking about destruction to Soul Society, neither my Ryūrin Kyou nor Uno no Mikan can match the destructive power of your Ryūjin Jakka, old man!"

Araki silently complained to himself after hearing his master's words.

"Logically speaking, the most suitable place for you two 'great villains' to fight should be the Avici Hell that I have set up!"

"So be it! Since you've already fought to this extent, then let's have a good fight in the fire field I unleash!"

Before Araki and Ueno Yachiru could speak, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni began to speak on his own.

Having said that, Yamamoto found a rock and sat down on it, leaning on his Ryujin Jakka as if using a cane. He quietly looked at Araki and Uo in front of him and continued, "Alright, no need for more words! And no need to pay attention to this old man. You are the protagonists of this duel!"

"Sigh, I'm really afraid of you." Araki smiled helplessly at his master, then looked at Mao and said, "At this point, it would be impolite if we didn't take things seriously."

"war!"

Upon hearing this, Yachiru Ueno simply uttered a single word, and the next second, an endless sea of ​​blood condensed towards the sword in her hand.

"Suck……"

Araki took a deep breath as he faced the sea of ​​blood that was gathering from the sea of ​​blood. At that moment, his eyes seemed to be drawn into thin lines of scarlet lightning, and scenes of the future flashed through Araki's rapidly working mind like a PowerPoint presentation.

"……call!"

As Araki exhaled a breath of stale air, the veins on his sword-wielding arm bulged out like roaring, churning blue dragons!

Dark lightning, carrying boundless pressure, coiled around the sword in Araki's hand. The spiritual particles within the rosy clouds of the sky also gathered and roared...

At this moment, all the power within Araki's body was unified!

Then, swing it down hard!

"boom!!"

The immense 'sword pressure' and 'sword energy,' or what could be called 'flying slash,' resembled an undulating mountain range or the teeth of a chainsaw, cleaving towards the sea of ​​blood where the eight thousand streams of the Udono River converged...

In just one exchange, both the 'Sea of ​​Blood' and the sword techniques that Mao had prepared paled in comparison to this one strike, and were all severed!

"What's this!?"

The Eight Thousand Ryu of the Ueno clan could not comprehend the 'subtlety' of this sword technique.

In Mao's view, Araki's slash had no name and didn't seem like a particularly impressive move. It was as if he had reverted to the most primal form of slashing, simply raising his sword and then forcefully bringing it down...

But this seemingly ordinary strike stunned Uno no Yachiru, her mind seemingly going blank, unable to comprehend how Araki had unleashed such an extreme, violent strike.

By the time Mao Zhiyanliu reacted, the sea of ​​blood beneath her feet had already been split in two by this slash. Even the high wall of flames that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had built with Ryujin Jakka in the two spirit realms had been cleaved open by Araki's slash!

But Araki's endless sword pressure did not stop there. After splitting through the high wall, it flew up into the clouds, crushed the dark clouds in the sky, and gradually dissipated into the boundless sky...

"What are you looking at?!"

Before she could think further, a sharp blade gleaming with a chilling light was already pressed against her snow-white neck. Araki, whose mind had already returned to calm, looked at the slightly surprised Uno and spoke calmly.

"..."

Mao's pale lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

"Mao, your opponent now is me, don't get distracted!"

Araki returned to the words that Muno Yachiru had said to him earlier.

"call!"

Upon hearing this, Mao Zhi let out a long breath. Her mind, which had been disturbed by Araki's slash, gradually calmed down with Araki's cold voice. Then, endless fighting spirit rose from Mao Zhi's chest!

"war!!"

This was the second time that Uno no Yachiru had uttered this word to Araki, but this time her fighting spirit was even stronger, and the word she uttered was even more powerful and resounding.

It must be said that even standing amidst the sea of ​​blood, Uno no Yachiru is extremely beautiful, but no one is in the mood to appreciate this beauty now. Standing amidst the sea of ​​blood, Uno no Yachiru, brimming with killing intent, is like a man-eating 'Rakshasa'! Incomparably beautiful, yet utterly deadly!

Araki's lips curled into a smile upon seeing this, and the blade in his hand became a blur...

"Shhh!!"

It was just a flash of cold light!

Blood-red roses immediately bloomed on the shoulders of Araki and Uji, blood splattered and fell to their feet, dissolving into the sea of ​​blood. The blood droplets disappeared into the sea of ​​blood in an instant, and their injuries vanished without a trace under the illumination of the seven-colored light and the continuous nourishment of the sea of ​​blood.

"Hahaha……"

The laughter continued to surge!

At this moment, neither Araki nor Yachiru Uno paid any attention to the glow of the sunset, the pool of blood on the ground, or even to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who sat like a statue not far from them...

The two had nothing but each other in their eyes, reveling in this carnage! Like two mad beasts, they brandished their blades, 'dancing' amidst the sea of ​​blood and rosy light, fighting to the death in this fiery hell of walls formed by flames!

"Haha~"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at the two people fighting like wild beasts and revealed a sinister smile.

The wall of fire that Araki cleaved in two with his sword wasn't closed by Yamamoto; instead, it remained open! This battle between the Soul Society's top swordsmen would seem rather desolate and pathetic if he were the only spectator.

Yamamoto knew that the battles between wild beasts would always attract the attention of jackals, but since he was here, he would keep his eyes wide open and watch to see just how strong his disciple, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, really was!

Then, after understanding the strength of his personal disciple Araki, let him be terrified! Because from now on, in this vast Seireitei, those petty villains will fear not only the Ryujin Jakka in the hands of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!

Two chapters, six thousand words each~ This chapter has been revised several times, scrapped several times, and always felt like it was missing something. In fact, I don't even know how well this chapter is written; I just did my best! I hope everyone likes it.

Chapter 15 The Murderer's Romance

The battle between Araki and Uno continues...

A blood-red slash tore through the sky, and a dazzling, shimmering light melted the earth.

If she could, Uno no Yachiru would wish that her battle with Araki would never end, even if the world were to grow old and the three realms were to crumble. Uno only wanted to fight forever, with every strike drawing blood and every punch landing with flesh. She was born to fight!

Ah! That's the feeling!

A happy smile spread across Uno's face. She herself had long forgotten how long it had been since she had encountered an opponent as strong as Araki, someone who was almost her equal...

However, just as the sea of ​​blood beneath Mao's feet was not endless, when her spiritual pressure and physical strength were almost exhausted, the shimmering light in the sky still shone!

"Is that so? So your Bankai ability is different from mine?"

"Your radiant light shining in the sky, besides its healing power, also has the ability to weaken my spiritual pressure and physical strength. Moreover, it seems that even the healing power of this Zanpakuto in my hand has been weakened by your Zanpakuto..."

Uno no Yachiru stopped swinging her sword. She looked up at the crystal light in the sky, which seemed to shine eternally in place of the sun, and a look of realization dawned on her face.
