Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Looking at the slightly anxious Araki in front of him, Yuan Liuzhai had a feeling that Araki was secretly planning something.

"hehe."

Araki simply smiled and remained silent. He was indeed secretly planning something, but he was unwilling to tell Genryusai.

"Then what happens next..."

After persuading and defeating Genryusai, Araki became the new Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, and it was time for him to begin his next plan.

"Dear Soul Society, damned nobles and muddle-headed commoners, are you ready to welcome your new Gotei 15 Captain-Commander?!"

Araki's gaze became incredibly profound, and he murmured to himself.

Another 10,000 words! Long time no see, please vote!

Then I need to go to sleep for a while; my brain is starting to feel all jumbled up.

Chapter 130 Genryusai abdicates, Araki finally becomes the 'Gotei 10'

"Alright, Old Deng! We've rested enough, it's time to go back."

"I'm even preparing to take up my post at the Seireitei~"

After feeling that his strength had been almost fully recovered, Araki waved to Genryusai behind him, and then, without waiting for his teacher to follow, strode into the 'black cavity' he had created.

"Let's go! To take up our posts at the Seireitei!"

After Araki defeated Genryusai, his back, which had been in pain for years and prevented him from attending the Gotei 13 captains' meeting, suddenly stopped hurting. His legs and feet became nimble, and his posture became incredibly upright.

"You brat, you have no respect for your elders here. You should call me Master..."

"And another thing, can't you show a little respect for the elderly and care for the young? Do you think that my old bones can recover completely just by sitting on the ground and resting for a while like you young people?"

"Hmph! When you get to my age, you'll have your share of suffering..."

Although Yuan Liuzhai was cursing Araki, he didn't slow down and followed closely behind Araki into the dark cavity.

To be honest, deep down, Genryusai was quite looking forward to seeing what it would be like for Araki to take charge of the 'Gotei 13'. It would be quite interesting to see the '13' with a lawless captain-commander, wouldn't it?

"Once I return to Seireitei, I must take on several more disciples..."

"Who knows, I might run into a few more talented brats like Araki~"

At the same time, Genryusai eagerly anticipates the day when he will personally teach at the 'Soul Society Academy'. The commoners of the 'Soul Society' have long suffered at the hands of the nobles due to their lack of technical knowledge. It is time for him to personally usher in an era where both nobles and commoners can change their own destiny through tireless efforts...

Although Yuan Liuzhai could not eliminate class differences or make all living beings in the world equal, he still hoped that through his own efforts, he could make the world as fair as possible.

'Soul Society'.

In the Central 46th Chamber, the highest law enforcement agency of the Seolleungteuk.

At this moment, this group of law enforcers, whose strength was mediocre and who had only become the 'Forty-Six Chambers' sages and judges through their so-called virtue and contributions to the 'Soul Society,' were having a heated discussion.

Yes, although Uno Retsu had slaughtered all the agents kept by the '46 Chambers' in front of everyone on Shuangji Hill, the '46 Chambers' still learned of what had happened at Shuangji immediately...

However, all of this was part of Uno's plan. Although the 'Central 46' was incompetent, their control over the 'Seireitei' was still very strong. Losing these agents only delayed their access to intelligence for a short while, which was exactly the effect Uno wanted...

As for who exactly passed the information to the '46 Chambers', Unohime knew the answer. After all, besides the captains of the 'Genryu' faction, there were also a group of soldiers responsible for breaking the Double Kill seal, as well as the captains of the '3rd Division' and '5th Division' belonging to the noble faction.

"Yuan Liuzhai and Araki abandoned their duties and went to Hueco Mundo for a duel? Have they both gone mad? If Araki and Yuan Liuzhai both perish in Hueco Mundo, who will take over the Gotei 13? Who will protect us, the 'Forty-Six Chambers'? Their behavior is utterly irresponsible..."

“That’s right, I think the sage was right! Genryusai, as the captain of the 13th Division of the Gotei 13, actually abandoned the execution order issued by our 46 Chambers and went to duel with Araki Kenpachi of the 11th Division. What kind of reputation does that make? It’s an extremely irresponsible act! We should directly hold him accountable! When he returns to the Seireitei, he should at least write a letter of self-criticism and hand it in to us!”

"Not only that, besides Yamamoto and Araki, Captain Uno Retsu of the 'Fourth Division' also revealed her true form after the two left. She dared to kill the death servants raised by our 'Forty-Six Chambers' while Genryusai and Araki were not around. She was simply 'overbearing' and courting death! This is a contempt for all the sages and judges of our entire 'Forty-Six Chambers'!"

At this moment, the group of '46 Chambers' were constantly criticizing the actions of Genryusai, Araki, and Uno Retsu. In their eyes, whether it was Genryusai, Araki, or Uno Retsu, they should all be sentenced and punished. However, due to Araki's status as 'Zero Squad,' they had no choice but to ignore Araki and continue to criticize Genryusai and Uno Retsu.

"Ugh……"

One of the older judges sighed helplessly after listening to what everyone had to say.

"Punish him? What right do we have to punish Yuan Liuzhai?"

"Only when the judiciary is combined with the institution of violence will the judiciary have the ability to try criminals."

"Now that the Kyoraku family incident has happened, our 'Forty-Six Chambers' has completely broken ties with 'Genryu,' and turning against 'Genryu' is equivalent to turning against the entire 'Thirteenth Squad'!"

"This wouldn't be a big deal a few hundred years ago! Besides the 'Gotei 13,' we '46 Chambers' also have other armed forces. If the 13 disobeyed, we could just send the Onmitsukido or the Kido to do the work. Why worry so much?!"

"But right now, Yoruichi Shihouin, as the captain of the 2nd Division of the Gotei 13, has taken over the Onmitsukido. Most of our guards and agents have been killed or wounded, and the Kido are not obeying our orders. What power do we have left to punish these people with extremely high combat strength?"

The judge saw things with unparalleled clarity, and his eyes gleamed with a wisdom rarely seen in the 'Forty-Six Chambers'.

This judge originally opposed the '46 Chambers' interference in the affairs between the 'Kyoraku' and 'Ise' families!

To put it bluntly, while it's wrong for the sister-in-law of Kyoraku Shunsui, the captain of the 8th Division, to lose a sacred artifact, it's still within the bounds of her family affairs and doesn't exceed the limits...

The current generation of the Ise family's heirs hasn't said anything about the loss of their family's ancestral "Eight Mirrors Sword," so why are the "Forty-Six Chambers" meddling in their affairs? Aren't they just making things worse?

"It seems that my old bones are getting on in years, so I should retire as soon as possible."

"Staying in this room for forty-six is ​​not a long-term solution! Sigh..."

Looking at the noisy crowd around him, the judge felt the urge to retire. After all, he had already amassed enough money over the years, both what he should and shouldn't have, and it was time for him to step down and give way to a more capable person.

Moreover, in this judge's view, the Central 46 Chambers, the highest judicial body of the Seireitei, which has stood in the Seireitei for millions of years, long enough to be counted from the birth of the Soul Society, seems to be about to become dust of history! The Central 46 Chambers are no longer the entity that once held sway over the Seireitei at will.

at the same time……

After the meeting of the 'Five Great Noble Families', the Tsunayoshiro family finally noticed something was amiss. With all the other heads of the 'Five Great Noble Families' having returned, their Tsunayoshiro family's head seemed to have disappeared.

"I have an ominous feeling."

"Hopefully, the Tsunayo family's colossal warship won't sink in the coming storm..."

With the head of the family still absent, the head of the Tsunayoshiro family temporarily assumed the position of acting head of the family and convened a new general meeting of the Tsunayoshiro family elders, requiring all five elders of the family to be present.

Even so, the head of the Tsunayoshiro family still felt uneasy. In his view, the vast Seireitei was about to be engulfed in a storm, and the present moment was merely the calm before the storm.

Time flies, and a week has passed in no time...

Seven days have passed since Genryusai and Araki left the Seireitei.

During these seven days, whether it was the Tsunayoshiro family, which had lost its head, the various noble forces, or even the 'Central 46 Chambers', they all became much more obedient...

It seems that all the major forces in the 'Soul World' have groveled and are waiting for the outcome of the duel between Araki and Genryusai.

Among them, some people who were originally harboring ulterior motives and were not exactly well-behaved took advantage of the absence of Genryusai and Araki to secretly cause trouble in the 'Seireitei'...

Of course, they did not choose to make a high-profile move, but instead tentatively spread a rumor in the 'Seireitei'.

The rumor is: "Kenpachi Araki, the contemporary leader of the Soul Society, has defected to Hueco Mundo, and the Gotei 13 Captain-Commander Genryusai has gone after him but his whereabouts are unknown..."

As the rumor continued to spread within the Gotei 13, the entire Seireitei was gripped by fear.

However, thanks to the suppression by the captains of 'Yuanliu', the news was still barely kept under control.

After all, the higher-ups of Soul Society know exactly what happened, and besides, how could Araki, a member of the Zero Division, possibly betray the Seireitei?!

Meanwhile, Zaraki and Saito, who were immortal, carried out a purge of the nobles of Seireitei while Araki and Genryusai were away. On the fourth day, amidst the rampant rumors, their scheme was finally exposed and discovered by the Chamber of Forty-Six...

Although the '46th Chamber' was currently waiting for the outcome of the battle between Genryusai and Araki, they did not want to fill in any more matters!

But they were still furious at the sight of this event, which was stained with the blood of countless nobles!

In response, after some discussion, the 'Forty-Six Chambers' urgently summoned the immortal Zaraki and Saito to the 'Central Forty-Six Chambers' to hear their judgment. However, to everyone's surprise, Zaraki and Saito did not go, and instead presented the 'Forty-Six Chambers' with a stack of evidence of the crimes they had committed against the nobles...

'Central 46th Room'.

"They've rebelled! They've rebelled! They've all rebelled..."

The wise men and judges were furious at Zaraki and Saito's immortality, yet they were powerless to stop them. During the sentencing, the '46 Chambers' did issue orders to the 'Gotei 13' to arrest Saito and Zaraki and force them to appear before the '46 Chambers' for judgment! However, the captains of the 'Gotei 13' refused to comply, citing the absence of the Captain-Commander, leaving the '46 Chambers' in a state of panic…

They then issued orders for the 'Standalone Force' and the 'Kido Corps' to capture Zaraki and Saito, but still no force moved. The 'Standalone Force' stated that they needed to obey their captain's orders and await the Captain-Commander's return. As for the 'Kido Corps,' they said their Kido duties were already fully booked, leaving no time for anything else, and besides, they weren't particularly skilled in combat, so they suggested the '46' find someone else.

After several rejections, the 'Forty-Six Chambers' were shocked to discover that their armed forces had vanished without their knowledge. Furthermore, the day after the 'Forty-Six Chambers' declared Saito and Zaraki guilty, Saito and Zaraki jointly announced that they possessed even more evidence of noble crimes! And their slaughter of nobles would not stop there, causing widespread panic throughout the 'Seireitei'.

As for the 'Forty-Six Chambers', after these wise men discovered that they could not bring Saito and Zaraki to justice, they had no choice but to investigate the evidence of crimes committed by the nobles that Saito and Zaraki had provided to them, out of consideration for their reputation...

After a thorough investigation, a startling conclusion was reached: the evidence provided by Saito and Zaraki was indeed true, and the '46th Chamber' dropped the charges against Zaraki and Saito.

Meanwhile, the '46 Chambers' provided protection for the Azashiro siblings whom Zaraki saved during his execution, and declared that they would further investigate the Azashiro family's affairs, which made the darkness hidden in the 'Seireitei' seem a little impatient.

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Thirty-seven days have passed since Genryusai and Araki failed to return to their unit! At this moment, the undercurrents beneath the surface of the Seireitei began to stir, and some with ulterior motives had already made their judgments…

In their view, perhaps Genryusai and Araki, master and disciple, have both perished in Hueco Mundo!

After all, no matter what kind of battle it is, it can't last for a full thirty-seven days.

The previous rumors were once again seized upon by those with ulterior motives, and for a time, Araki seemed to become the target of all the Shinigami divisions in the Seireitei...

Even the captains of the various squads seemed unable to stop the spread of this rumor.

In an instant, these ordinary Shinigami soldiers who had graduated from the 'Soul Academy' all felt an intense hatred for Araki, who was suspected of betraying the 'Soul Society'...

Fortunately, everything seemed to be under control. These ordinary Shinigami soldiers didn't dare to do anything, but they would curse Araki when they drank and chatted.

Another half month has passed...

With Captain-Commander Genryusai failing to return to the team, the unease among the ordinary members of the Seireitei reached its peak, evolving from unease and hatred towards Araki into anger towards the entire Eleventh Division.

During this time, many members of other divisions disregarded the orders given by their respective captains and had conflicts with the members of the 11th Division in their daily lives, including verbal disputes and physical altercations...

However, whether it was a verbal altercation or a physical fight, the members of the 11th Division demonstrated the excellent qualities befitting a combat division, defeating all the division members who came looking for trouble with overwhelming superiority!

They not only banished these troublemaking squad members to the medical squad, but also verbally abused the mothers of these troublemaking squad members until they died. Many of these squad members even lost their entire 'family tree' in the verbal battle.

His extreme foul mouth, combined with absolute power, meant he could practically roam freely within the Gotei 13.

Those who were beaten into the Fourth Division by the Eleventh Division often received special treatment from the Fourth Division. Injuries that should have healed in a week were often kept in the medical unit's barracks for several months by the Fourth Division using unique methods. During these months, they not only had to pay for their own treatments, but also had to endure painful treatments every day that would make them scream like pigs being slaughtered...

From then on, no member dared to cause trouble for the 11th Division.

Thus, the 'Gotei 13' returned to calm once again, and a full six months passed without the Gotei 13 Captain-Commander, the current Kenpachi, or a replacement.

Six months later, on this day, some of the noble forces that had been secretly observing finally couldn't sit still any longer.

In the Eleventh Division barracks late at night...

A man dressed in a black bodysuit sneaked in. He looked down on the 11th Division members who were patrolling and maintaining order in the barracks at night with lanterns.

With his powerful spiritual pressure at the third-tier level, and basic techniques like "slashing," "fist," "walking," and "demon strike" comparable to a captain-level Shinigami of the Gotei 13, avoiding these patrolling members was a piece of cake! After all, the Eleventh Division was currently without a captain...

His sole purpose in going to the 11th Division was to destroy the evidence held by the 11th Division regarding the crimes his family had committed in the Seireitei.
