Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Now, the swordsmanship I learned from Araki-sensei has finally come in handy."

After tucking the Yanluo Mirror into his waistband, Shi Tan smiled gently at Ye Yi and the others beside him.

After killing the head of his own clan, Tokida simply expressed to those around him that he was finally able to unleash the dual-wielding style that Araki had taught him, and he was incredibly moved by this.

As for the death of Tsunayoshi, Tokinada believed that he had met a fitting end...

"By the way, Master, I'll now answer the question you asked me earlier..."

"The reason I told you so much is twofold. First, I'm trying my best to buy time so that the people I've invited can return to their positions. Second, for a dying person, these secrets are of no consequence even if they are known..."

After killing his own master, Shi Tan did not forget to continue telling the story to the master's corpse.

He told the other party everything that his family wanted to know.

"Next, we'll send the body back to the family..."

"I really look forward to seeing what kind of expressions those idiots in the family will have when they see their dead patriarch!"

"It must be very interesting, right?"

As Shi Tan spoke, a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"By the way, thank you all for your help. I will fulfill all the promises I made to you before."

After Shi Tan finished doing all this, he remembered that there were other people around him. He looked at Yoruichi and the others and sincerely thanked them.

"Understood, little brother."

Yoruichi and the others didn't say anything about it. Just as Tokina said, the world had suffered under the leadership of Tsunayoshi for a long time, and his death was what everyone expected. No one would feel sad about the death of Tsunayoshi, including the members of the Tsunayoshi family.

at the same time……

Just as Tsunayoshi, together with Yoruichi Shihouin, Jushiro Ukitake, the Kido Clan, and the Shiba family, eliminated their own head in the Seireitei.

'Visible circle'.

"Click, click, click..."

With a series of tearing sounds, a crack suddenly appeared in the dark sky of Hueco Mundo, and two figures appeared one after the other in this world shrouded in white sand and darkness.

The two figures in front and behind were naturally Yamamoto Genryusai and his disciple Araki, who had come from the Soul Society...

Is this Hueco Mundo?

Yuan Liuzhai stood on the white sand, looked up at the bright full moon, and squinted his eyes.

"There are clearly more spiritual particles here than in Soul Society, making it a perfect arena for us to fight."

After sensing the vast spiritual particles of Hueco Mundo, Genryusai smiled faintly at Araki.

"Indeed."

Araki smiled upon hearing this.

At this moment, the two most powerful Shinigami of the Seireitei finally bared their sharp fangs at each other!

This is an internal war within the 'Genryu' faction, and also a battle for the succession of the 'Gotei 14' captain.

Second update, 8,000 words~

Chapter 128 Araki: Genryusai-sensei, I did say that I...

"..."

Genryusai and Araki stood facing each other faintly under the dark night sky of Hueco Mundo.

Although the two did not exchange a single word, their confrontation had already begun.

In a place unseen and imperceptible to ordinary 'Death Gods', two immense 'spiritual pressures' and 'powers' were constantly expanding, dividing the night sky into two equal colors.

Just as Genryusai and Araki were facing off, a seemingly oblivious Hollow spotted them and approached them with a wicked grin.

"Hahaha……"

"What incredible luck! To actually find a delicious Grim Reaper here..."

That was an Adjuchas who was unwilling to submit to the 'Hollow King' Barragan, nor was he willing to follow in the footsteps of the Mikado. Therefore, he had no choice but to leave the core area of ​​Hueco Mundo and run to this desolate place to make a living. Today, he was obviously lucky and actually encountered two delicious Shinigami.

"Roar!!"

Naachukas went straight for Genryusai and Araki. When he arrived in front of Genryusai and Araki, he did not attack them immediately. Instead, he roared and released his cold and evil spiritual pressure, trying to frighten Genryusai and Araki. He liked to see the despair and pain on the faces of the Shinigami when they saw him.

Unfortunately, the scene that Adjuchas imagined did not happen, and Araki and Genryusai remained standing silently facing each other.

Did either of you see me?

"They're just two Grim Reapers, how dare they look down on me?"

"Why? Why?! Why are you all ignoring me?!"

Adjuchas felt a surge of anger, an anger at being ignored. It reminded him of decades ago when he and his companions joined forces to challenge Barragan, the king of Hueco Mundo. Back then, Barragan sat quietly on his throne, not even glancing at them. All creatures within five feet of Barragan, whether Kylian or Adjuchas, aged instantly and turned into a cloud of flying sand.

From that moment on, Adjuchas was terrified and fled all the way out of the core of Hueco Mundo, through the Forest of Hollows, until he arrived at this safe area! At this point, he had lost all will to evolve; he only wanted to find more fun before he regressed back to a Kyrian and completely lost his sanity…

However, he was ignored once again. This time, it was not the high and mighty Barragan who ignored him, but two death gods who were oblivious to their own mortality and did not release any powerful spiritual pressure.

"Go to hell!"

Thinking of this, Adjuchas's face suddenly turned cold. He glared fiercely at Araki and Genryusai, raised his strong arm, and then brought it down on the two of them.

"Noisy..."

Just as Adjuchas' arm was about to fall, endless flames instantly rose up, igniting Adjuchas' entire body. There was no scream, no wail, and no kneeling or begging for mercy...

In a single glance, everything about Adjuchas was burned to ashes! In the instant his consciousness faded, he seemed to recall the events of that year, the story of him and the Adjuchas he had met who shared the same goal—to overthrow the oppression of Barragán—and together challenge the 'King of Hueco Mundo'.

Just like today, it was only a fleeting encounter; he didn't even see how Barragan made his move, yet his companions were all killed without a trace. As his companions charged forward without hesitation, he hesitated...

He was terrified by the scene before him, and after all his companions were dead, he fled like a stray dog. Barragan, who sat high on his throne, did not even glance at him as he fled, nor did he choose to pursue him, simply because Barragan, as a king, would not pay attention to a stray dog ​​who had lost everything.

From then on, he lived in a daze...

Now, he is finally free, and can finally go find his companions...

With the death of that Hollow, Szayelaporro, who was conducting an experiment in the basement of the core area of ​​Las Noches in Hueco Mundo, suddenly paused, staring thoughtfully at the disappearing signal on his bio-radar.

"Detector-3 has been killed?!"

"Before his death, among the spiritual pressure signals transmitted back, one was from an unknown Shinigami, and the other was from Lord Araki! It seems Lord Araki has returned to Hueco Mundo?!"

Szayelaporro swung the instruments in front of him and quickly came to a conclusion.

Yes, the Hollow that escaped was actually deliberately let go by Szayelaporro, because that Hollow was Szayelaporro's experimental subject. Not only was the Hollow killed by Genryusai a Szayelaporro experimental subject, but even those Hollows who died at the hands of Barragan, whom they believed to have met by chance, were also his experimental subjects.

Szayelaporro simulated personalities for these Hollows and implanted human hearts into them. His purpose was to see if Probe III, with his simulated personality and implanted human hearts, would develop depression due to betraying his comrades...

Although Szayelaporro did not get the experimental results he wanted, he did gain something else: at least he learned about Araki's return.

"Go tell Barragán and the others!"

With that, Szayelaporro walked out of his laboratory.

'Hollow Night Palace'.

After Barragán spent centuries renovating the place, it has become much better than before. At least it has a roof and lights. However, Barragán's taste is a bit lacking, so the 'Hollow Night Palace' he decorated does not look like a palace where a king resides, but more like a nightclub.

"Your Majesty Barragan, it seems Lord Araki has returned from Soul Society..."

"At the same time, besides Lord Araki, it seems that a Shinigami is also accompanying Lord Araki..."

"Unfortunately, I don't know the relationship between this Grim Reaper and Lord Araki. However, judging from the images transmitted back by my test subject, the two seem to be engaged in some kind of duel. Should we go and help Lord Araki?"

Sárcavaro looked at Barragán, who sat on the throne, and spoke respectfully.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Barragán nodded slightly.

"This is the most important thing for us in Hueco Mundo right now! Szayelaporro, go and give my order. Tell all the Menos Grande in Hueco Mundo that they must not interfere with Lord Araki's duel without my order. Anyone who disobeys will be executed by all the Menos Grande in Las Noches."

Barragán seemed to have known about Araki's return before Szayelaporro even spoke, and he coldly commanded Szayelaporro.

"As ordered."

Upon hearing this, Sárcavaro bowed respectfully to Barragán and accepted the order.

"Yes, you may leave."

Seeing Sárcavaro's respectful attitude, Barragán waved his hand with satisfaction, indicating that Sárcavaro could leave.

"Okay, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, Szayelaporro turned and walked out of Las Noches.

Although Barragan had just given him the order to personally relay the command that the Hollows of Hueco Mundo must not disturb Lord Araki's battle, in reality, it would have been sufficient to delegate this task to some Adjuchas.

The reason Barragán insisted on having him handle the task was because there was a huge problem that required his attention.

"What? Lord Araki is back! I must go see Araki..."

Lilynette, who usually plays with building blocks alone, skipped and hopped out of her palace upon hearing the news of Araki's return. She was tired of playing alone and wanted to go find Araki to play with her.

"I'm sorry, Lady Lilynet..."

"According to the orders I just received from His Majesty Barragán, in order to prevent you from interfering with Lord Araki's battle, I must intercept you here..."

Just as Lilynette was excitedly preparing to go find Araki, Szayelaporro, with his long pink hair, blocked her path.

"what?"

Lilyne frowned deeply as she looked at Szayelaporro, who was blocking her way.

"Do you want to die?"

Lilyne asked Apollo.

"Of course not! As an alchemist and the most renowned scholar in Hueco Mundo, I'm terrified of death!"

Szayelaporro smiled slightly after hearing Lilynette's words.

"Then get out of my way..."

Lilyne looked at Szayelaporro and said with utter disdain.

"I'm sorry, Lady Lilynet, perhaps you've misunderstood something."
