Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"what?!"

"Are you blind? No matter how you look at it, I'm not that 'Senjumaru' woman, am I?!"

After hearing what the 'monk' in front of him said, Mayuri Kurotsuchi spoke angrily.

"What? You're not 'Senjumaru'?"

Upon hearing this, the monk looked greatly surprised, as if he had been stunned by Mayuri Kurotsuchi's words.

"Are these guys from the 'Zero Squad' really alright? I have a feeling the problem is pretty serious..."

“I suspect these people aren’t members of the ‘Zero Squad’ at all…”

"It's probably members of a 'circus' that performs specifically for His Majesty the 'Spirit King,' who stole the 'Zero Squad's' exclusive vehicle and came down to the mortal realm to 'foole' us!"

As for the remaining members of the '12th Division', they were speechless at the sight of the three members of the '0th Division'. They were now starting to doubt the true identities of these three...

Based on their behavior, some people even speculated that these three were not so-called 'royal agents' at all, but rather members of the 'atmosphere team' who usually stayed in the 'Spirit King Palace' to keep the 'Spirit King' entertained.

"Hahaha……"

"Sorry, sorry, I was just joking..."

"I noticed the atmosphere around you was too heavy, so I just wanted to lighten it up a bit."

"Of course I know who the real Shutara Senjumaru is."

Just as everyone was beginning to question the true identity of the monk because of the unreliable performance of the Zero Division members, the monk suddenly burst into laughter and began to explain to the members of the Twelfth Division present.

"Forehead……"

"Is it really okay to liven things up at a time like this?!"

"Heh, I really don't understand the thought processes of the big shots in Squad Zero~"

The members of the 12th Division had no suspicions. If it was just to liven up the atmosphere, it would be acceptable, although some of them still felt that the monk in front of them was very suspicious.

Just as the members of the 12th Division were speechless at the sight of this 'monk'...

The 'monk' who claimed to be a member of the 'Zero Squad' walked up to a girl with beautiful short purple hair in the 'Twelfth Squad' and said with a smile to the 'cute' and 'amazing' girl, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Shutara Senjumaru, who is going to join our Zero Squad, right?!"

"Isn't this an admission of your mistake?!"

When the members of the '12th Division' saw that the 'monk' had approached the youngest member of their '12th Division' on his own, they couldn't help but complain about the 'monk'.

"Eh? I'm not Captain Senjumaru! I'm Hikifune..."

As for the girl with short purple hair, she trembled upon hearing the monk's words.

She never expected that this seemingly unreliable 'monk' would suddenly strike up a conversation with her, so she hurriedly waved her little hand at the 'monk' and explained her identity to him.

"Hey, hey, hey! Even if we don't look at 'gender' and 'age'..."

"Just by looking at their clothes, you should be able to tell the difference between a 'Captain' level Shinigami in the Gotei 13 and an ordinary Shinigami who is not a 'Captain', right?"

“Ordinary Shinigami soldiers don’t wear that white captain’s haori…”

"You guys from the Zero Division, you better get a little serious!"

Before the girl with short purple hair could finish speaking, Mayuri Kurotsuchi spoke first.

As soon as Mayuri Kurotsuchi opened his mouth, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the 'monk' in front of him.

"Sorry, sorry! The joke really went too far..."

"So, Shutara Senjumaru! Welcome to our 'Zero Squad' as a member of the 'Royal Agents'! From today onwards, you will be above the 'Gotei 13' and no longer subject to any laws or regulations within the 'Seireitei'. You will be directly under the command of the great 'Soul King'."

After hearing Mayuri's angry words, the monk finally restrained his unruly behavior.

Then, the 'monk' walked straight to Senjumaru, who was standing in front of the group of '12th Division' members, who had been 'coldly beautiful' and silently watching everything in front of him, and said to Senjumaru with a smile.

"Shutara Senjumaru".

Senjumaru looked at the unreliable 'monk' in front of him and casually uttered his name.

Of course, it wasn't that Senjumaru was angry with the 'monk' in front of her, but rather that she was naturally indifferent.

"Ichibei, Hyoshubu."

After hearing Senjumaru's words, the fake 'monk' smiled faintly and revealed his name.

"Tianshilang of Kirin Temple."

"Wang Yue of Ermeiwu."

On the other side, Kirinji and Wang Yue, who had been joking around behind the 'monk', also put away their playful expressions and told Senjumaru their names.

"Then, Senjumaru, let's leave the Seireitei together and head to the Soul King's Palace!"

After everyone introduced themselves, the 'monk' extended an invitation to Senjumaru.

"it is good."

Senjumaru agreed to what the 'monk' said without even thinking.

"Hmph, so the 'stupid woman' is finally leaving?"

Standing behind Senjumaru, quietly observing everything before him, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's lips curled slightly when he heard Senjumaru agree to the monk's invitation. If neither Senjumaru nor the members of the Zero Squad had left yet, he would have burst into excited laughter long ago.

It doesn't matter. Whether it's Senjumaru or a member of the Zero Division, no one can stop him from replacing Senjumaru as the captain of the Twelfth Division and taking control of the entire Technology Development Bureau! This is a scheme he has been planning for decades, an inevitable trend that cannot be stopped by one or two people.

"Hehehe..."

However, despite Mayuri Kurotsuchi's best efforts to suppress the ever-growing corners of his mouth, a joyful laugh still escaped his throat; he simply couldn't suppress the genuine joy that came from within.

Who knows how many years he endured to ensure that the day he could replace Senjumaru would come to pass?!

However, his perseverance paid off, and from today onwards he will successfully rise from serf to master.

"Click~"

However, just as Mayuri Kurotsuchi chuckled...

With a clanging sound of metal, his wrists were bound by a pair of gleaming silver handcuffs.

"Um?!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked at the silver handcuffs on his wrists, then at the members of the 'Second Division' wearing 'Stealth Mobile' uniforms on his left and right sides, and fell into deep thought.

"Mayuri Kurotsuchi, why don't you keep laughing?"

"You've stopped smiling, is it because you're naturally not a smiley person?!"

Senjumaru looked at Mayuri Kurotsuchi, whose smile had vanished, and a smile suddenly appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

"Senjumaru, what do you mean by this?!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi raised his 'handcuffed' hands, his eyes twitching as he looked at Senjumaru.

"As you can see, in the years since you joined the 12th Division, I believe there are serious problems with your thinking, and you are very likely to pose a great threat to the Gotei 13!"

"Therefore, I have decided to send you, who poses a great threat to the Soul Society, to the lair of maggots in accordance with the laws of the Seireitei, to prevent you from harming the Seireitei."

Senjumaru looked at Mayuri Kurotsuchi and said with a smile.

"Where did you get the idea that I could possibly harm the Seireitei? You wicked woman!"

After hearing Senjumaru's words, Mayuri Kurotsuchi was so angry that he almost exploded. He glared at Senjumaru and roared in his hoarse voice.

“Judging from the experiments you conducted on me, those experiments clearly did not conform to the rules of the Seireitei.”

Senjumaru smiled gently at Mayuri Kurotsuchi upon hearing this.

"You're talking nonsense! If there were any problems with those 'experiments,' then you should be the first one caught in the maggot's nest. You should know that those experiments were all designed by you and me!"

After hearing Senjumaru's words, Mayuri Kurotsuchi couldn't help but point his finger at Senjumaru's nose and curse.

“You’re right, according to the laws of the Seireitei, I am indeed guilty!”

"But I'm sorry, I'm no longer a member of the 'Gotei 13'. I'm a 'royal agent' of the 'Zero Division,' and the '46 Chambers' have no jurisdiction over me under the laws of the 'Seireitei'."

Senjumaru looked at the furious Mayuri Kurotsuchi and said with a smile.

"you……"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was completely stunned; he had never seen such a shameless person in his entire life.

"Captain Senjumaru, have you finished explaining?!"

Just as Mayuri was stunned, the members of the 'Second Division' who had captured Mayuri respectfully questioned Senjumaru, who was about to head to the 'Spirit King Palace'.

"Of course~"

Senjumaru nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Then we'll take this 'criminal' with us."

After hearing Senjumaru's words, the members of the 'Second Division' tentatively spoke.

"Of course~"

Senjumaru continued to respond to the two members of the 'Second Division' in front of him.

"go!"

Having obtained Senjumaru's consent, the two members of the 'Second Division' naturally had no more scruples. They yanked Mayuri Kurotsuchi hard, forcibly interrupting his 'dazed' state, and spoke rudely.

"Shutara Senjumaru! Senjumaru!!!"

"I'll remember you, I'll remember you! You'll regret this!!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was not particularly skilled in combat, and after being handcuffed by the handcuffs made by his own 'laboratory', he became a lamb to the slaughter, being carried by two members of the 'Second Division' towards the new 'Second Division' barracks.

Yes, the first thing Yoruichi Shihouin did after becoming the captain of the 'Second Division' was to rebuild the 'Second Division's' barracks and expand them. After all, from today onwards, this place will no longer just be the barracks of the 'Gotei 2nd Division', but also the headquarters of the 'Onmyetsu'.

"Stop talking nonsense and get going!"

Seeing Mayuri Kurotsuchi roaring incessantly, the two members of the 'Second Division' kicked him hard in the backside and berated him for his madness. At this moment, in the eyes of these two members of the 'Second Division', Mayuri Kurotsuchi was no longer the high-ranking deputy director of the 'Technology Development Bureau'; he was just a criminal who could be manipulated at will.

"I……"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was furious, but faced with the extremely unfavorable situation, he had no choice but to follow the two soldiers in front of him and move forward. However, Mayuri secretly vowed that fortunes change, and one day he would get out of that damned prison…

"Damn it! Why did I make this thing so well in the first place?!"

"From now on, I must always have a backup plan for anything I make, and I absolutely cannot let anyone use my things against me."

At the same time, Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked at the handcuffs on his wrists that were used to seal his spiritual pressure, his brows furrowing tightly. He decided that from today onwards, he would keep a backup plan for all the items he researched. He absolutely did not want to taste the humiliation of today a second time.
