Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Here it comes, here it comes, that arrogant chin-down attitude..."

"The Kuchiki family members are all cut from the same cloth."

Looking at the smiling face of the head of the family, Tsunayoshi, she kept thinking to herself.

Good morning, both of you!

Just as the head of the Tsunayoshi family and the head of the Kuchiki family were exchanging pleasantries, Shiba Sawa, the former captain of the 9th Division and the current captain of the 10th Division, appeared behind them in a flash and greeted them.

"Oh! Isn't this Ms. Shiba? Good day."

Headmaster Tsunayo looked at Shiba Sawahiro in front of him and greeted him with a smile.

"Gui An? Only women use 'Gui An,' you sissy..."

After hearing what Tsunayoshiro said, Shiba Sawahiro wore a faint smile on his face, but inwardly he kept cursing.

"What a 'rude' and 'unkempt' woman. I really don't know why our 'Five Great Noble Families' would produce such a barbaric outcast as the 'Shiba' family..."

At this moment, Tsunayoshi was also constantly making fun of Shiba Sawahiro in his mind; it can only be said that the two sides disliked each other.

"Let's go, the meeting is about to start."

With Shiba Sawahiro joining the family, Tsunayoshiro no longer bothered to reminisce with Kuchiki. He smiled slightly, nodded to Kuchiki and Shiba Sawahiro, and then walked ahead.

"Miss Shiba, let's go!"

Seeing this, the head of the Kuchiki family nodded to Shiba Sawahiro, showing humility.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Shiba Sawahiro casually followed behind the head of the family, Tsuna Yayo.

As for the head of the Kuchiki family, he walked at the very back of the two...

In an instant, representatives of three of the 'Five Great Noble Families' walked together toward the 'First Division' captain's room, which was also the venue for the captain's meeting.

"Speaking of which, it's rather strange that the Shihouin family member hasn't arrived today! Usually, the Shihouin family member is always the first to arrive..."

When Tsunayoshi reached the door of the 'First Division' captain's room, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he had remembered something, and asked Shiba Sawahiro and the head of the Kuchiki family behind him.

"Eh? You didn't know? The guy from the Shihōin family officially went to the 'First Division' to complete his 'first day off' the day before yesterday. The person who took over his position as captain of the 'Second Division' is the 'little princess' of the main family of the Shihōin family."

After hearing what the head of the Tsuna family said, Shiba Sawahiro, although she didn't want to talk to this guy, still replied softly.

"What? This happened?"

Upon hearing this, the head of the Tsuna family was taken aback. He had been so busy with the affairs of the 'Toki-tan' these past few days that he had indeed neglected the affairs of other families. He hadn't expected that the head of the 'Shihōin' family's branch family had actually stepped down completely from his position as the leader...

For a moment, Tsunayoshi was somewhat troubled. He wondered why the head of the branch family of the 'Shihouin' clan had contacted him for drinks a few days ago. It turned out that this branch family head had already received the abdication letter from the clan in advance, so he planned to make a big profit before completely losing power. What was most infuriating was that he had been tricked and had given the other party a lot of benefits.

"It's only the team leaders' meeting, and they're already going to officially announce this matter."

At this moment, the head of the Kuchiki family interjected, clearly indicating that he also knew about this matter in advance.

"You're the only one who didn't know?!"

Tsunayoshi frowned; it was clear that he had made a mistake in this matter.

"Hey everyone, you're all here!"

Just as the heads of the 'First Division'—Tsunayoshiro, Kuchiki, and Shiba Sawahiro—were chatting in front of the door to the 'First Division's' captain's office, a gentle female voice slowly came from behind them.

Everyone turned to look and saw a woman with long, black hair, a graceful figure, and a dignified and beautiful appearance walking towards the three of them with light yet steady steps.

"Captain Rabbit..."

When the head of the family, Tsunayoshi, saw the woman in front of him, countless fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. This woman was one of the few people in the Seireitei that he could not afford to offend and did not want to offend.

"Captain Uno." Compared to Tsunayoshiro, who was extremely guilty for 'doing all sorts of bad things,' Kuchiki and Shiba Sawa were much more generous, both of them smiling and nodding to Uno Retsu.

Shiba Sawahiro didn't forget to bow slightly to Uno Retsu, saying in greeting, "Thank you, Captain Araki, for your help to our Shiba family these past few days."

"Haha..." Upon hearing this, Uno Retsu smiled lightly at Shiba Sawahiro and then said, "Since it was Captain Araki who helped your Shiba family, you should go and thank Captain Araki in person."

"Click..."

Just as Uno Retsu was chatting with the others, the door to the 'First Division' captain's room slowly opened.

"The captains of even-numbered squads stand to my right, and the captains of odd-numbered squads stand to my left."

The door to the captain's room opened, and Yamamoto Genryusai, standing at the far end of the room with his Zanpakuto in his hand, addressed the captains outside with a powerful voice.

"As ordered."

As Yuan Liuzhai spoke, Mao Zhilie and the others nodded slightly and then stood on either side of Yuan Liuzhai.

"Lie, you're so slow today~"

Inside the team's headquarters, Araki, who had arrived long ago, yawned slightly and complained as he looked at Uno Retsu, who was 'late'.

"Oh my god, I don't know which bastard disappeared the moment I opened my eyes this morning, leaving me alone in the 'Fourth Division' to treat the critically ill members."

Upon hearing this, Mao Zhilie narrowed his eyes slightly, and a murderous aura seemed to emanate from them.

"Forehead……"

Araki simply gave an awkward, slight smile after hearing Uno Retsu's words.

As for the three people who came in with Uno Retsu, namely 'Kuchiki', 'Shiba Sawahiro', and 'Tsuna Yayoi', they pretended not to hear anything and stood at attention in their respective positions, keeping their bodies very straight.

"Did you hear anything just now?!"

Araki asked the captains of the other squads beside him, changing the subject.

"No, no..."

Upon hearing this, all the team captains shook their heads.

"It's strange, Captain Araki, why are you here at the captain's meeting again today?"

Because the leader of the 9th Division had not yet arrived, Tsunayoshiro, the head of the 7th Division, had to stand next to Araki, the captain of the 11th Division, with no partition between them...

Therefore, facing Araki's death stare, Tsunayoshi, the head of the household, had no choice but to take up Araki's words and completely change the subject.

"I came because I was free today, so what? Is that not allowed?"

Araki smiled faintly after hearing about the culture of the head of the Tsunayoshiro family, and asked the head of the Tsunayoshiro family in front of him with a smile.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, the head of the family, Tsuna, immediately changed his expression, turning ashen.

"No way, is Araki on fire today? Why is he talking so aggressively?"

"Besides, this isn't what I wanted to ask. Didn't you tell me to ask? This is utterly unreasonable..."

Tsunayoshiro kept complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend Araki to his face, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"..."

Araki didn't say much about it. He just looked at Tsunayoshiro, the head of the family, with a smile, as if he were looking at a lamb to the slaughter.

Time passed, and half an hour went by. After that, Araki and the other captains did not say anything more, and the captains of the 'Gotei 13' took their places one after another, standing on both sides of Genryusai.

"Alright, now that all the captains have arrived, the three of you may come out."

After all the active captains had arrived, Genryusai, holding his Zanpakuto, gently tapped the floor of the captain's room with the bottom of the scabbard to quiet the room, and then spoke calmly.

"Follow your orders~"

As Genryusai finished speaking, four figures dressed in white captain's haori walked in through the side door of the 'First Division' captain's room and came to stand in front of the active 'Gotei 13' captains.

"Um?!"

Upon seeing this, the captains of the 'Gotei 13' were all taken aback. This was the first time they had ever seen 'four captains' newly appointed in the 'Gotei 13' at the same time...

The head of the Tsunayo family, who is the captain of the 7th Division, was particularly shocked. He never expected that one day he would see this young man from the branch family at the captains' meeting of the Gotei 13.

"Let me introduce you all. These four are: Yoruichi Shihouin, the newly appointed captain of the 'Second Division' and commander-in-chief of the 'Onmyoji Arena'; Shunsui Kyoraku, the newly appointed captain of the 'Eighth Division'; Tsunayoshi Tokinada, the newly appointed captain of the 'Ninth Division'; and Jushiro Ukitake, the newly appointed captain of the 'Thirteenth Division'! Congratulations to these four for passing the captain's test and officially becoming members of the 'Gotei 13'..."

Genryusai stood in front of the captains, taking in the expressions of the 'Gotei 13' captains, while introducing Yoruichi and the others to everyone.

"'Shihouin' Yoruichi? So that little girl in front of me is the little princess of the 'Shihouin' main family? She's truly a force to be reckoned with; she's so young yet already possesses the strength to be a captain..."

"After all, he's from the 'Shihouin' family, so it's normal for him to have such strength at this age! Speaking of which, I've never heard of this 'Ukitake Jushiro' before. Are there any 'Ukitake' surnames among the 'upper-class' nobles in our 'Soul World'?!"

"I haven't heard of that before. In the entire Seireitei, among the noble families with the surname 'Ukitake,' I only know of one lower-ranking noble family that makes a living through farming. However, I have heard of the surname 'Kyoraku.' They are a martial arts family that has been passed down for thousands of years. I originally heard that their current head of the family fell ill, and I thought the Kyoraku family was going to decline. I didn't expect that such an outstanding genius would emerge from them. The Kyoraku family is truly blessed by the Spirit King!"

As Yuan Liuzhai introduced the identities and names of Ye Yi and the others, the captains immediately began whispering among themselves.

"Congratulations, Headmaster Tsunayo!"

"With such an outstanding child as Captain Tokinada emerging from the Tsunayoshiro family, the family's future is sure to continue its current glory! Truly a cause for celebration!"

"Head of the Tsunayo family, you really know how to keep things secret. Someone in your family is the captain of the 'Thirteenth Squad,' and you didn't even tell us in advance. If you had informed us beforehand, we could have prepared our gifts accordingly!"

The current captains of the 3rd and 5th Divisions, somewhat mercenarily, approached Tsunayoshiro, the head of the family, and offered their congratulations.

"Haha, it's nothing serious, why would you all need to prepare gifts for me?!"

After listening to everyone's words, the head of the family, Tsunayoshiro, simply smiled and responded calmly.

In reality, at this moment, Tsunayoshi was practically cursing in her heart: "You bunch of idiots, do you think I didn't want to? The problem is, did I even know? Humph! That bastard Tokina, such a big thing as running for captain, even I, as the head of the family, didn't know about it. How could I tell you in advance?"

"At the same time, 'Tsunayoshi Tokinada,' 'Kyoraku Shunsui,' and 'Ukitake Jushiro' are all graduates of the 'Shinigami Academy,' making them the first batch of graduates from the 'Shinigami Academy' to become captains of the 'Gotei 13'! This shows that the 'Shinigami Academy' that we have worked so hard to establish is gradually beginning to show its effects..."

Next, Genryusai announced that Kyoraku and the others were all graduates of the Shinigami Academy, thus giving the Shinigami Academy a boost in publicity.

"Ha ha……"

The captains, all of noble birth, simply chuckled at this. In their eyes, Kyoraku and the others entering the 'True Central Spiritual Arts Academy' for further studies was merely a way for these nobles to give Genryusai some face, using the name of the 'True Central Spiritual Arts Academy' as a pretext...

As for why Kyoraku and the others were able to become captains of the 'Gotei 13' at such a young age, it was entirely due to their exceptional talent and had little to do with the 'Spiritual Arts Academy'.

"There's one more thing I need to tell you all! 'Yoruichi Shihouin,' 'Tsunayoshi Tokinada,' 'Shunsui Kyoraku,' and 'Jushiro Ukitake' are all disciples of Captain Araki, so they're like brothers from the same school! Let's give a round of applause to these four who all passed the captain's test and successfully became captains of the 'Gotei 13'."

Immediately afterward, before the nobles could finish laughing, Genryusai continued to announce the follow-up events, telling the captains present that Yoruichi and the others all came from Araki's school, and that their sect was the 'Genryu' founded by Genryusai.

"This……"

In an instant, the smiles on the faces of the aristocratic captains vanished.

They were initially quite pleased to see that the leaders of the 8th, 9th, and 13th Divisions, which were the rival forces of the noble families behind them, had all been replaced.

But when they heard that these captains were all Araki's disciples and all came from 'Yuanliu', they couldn't laugh for a moment.

"It seems that these thirteen teams have returned to Yuan Liuzhai's hands."
