Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Ha ha……"

Araki simply laughed heartily at this.

However, deep down, Araki had a different thought.

"The captain of the 'Seventh Division' has always been Tsuna Yayoi? That's quite impressive!"

"However, who will be the head of Tsunayoshiro is up to me."

Araki glanced at Tsunayoshi Tokina, who was smiling from the front.

"Ha ha……"

After meeting Araki's gaze, Shi Tan instantly understood what Araki meant. He smiled at Araki and gently cupped his hands in greeting.

"Currently, there are still the 'Fifth Division' and the 'Twelfth Division'."

Then, Araki continued.

"Speaking of the '12th Division,' I do know one person!"

"Although she looks a little immature now, in my opinion, she will be able to officially take over as the captain of the '12th Division' in less than a hundred years..."

When Araki mentioned the '12th Division', Kyoraku seemed to have thought of something. He rubbed his chin as he looked at Araki and spoke.

"explain……"

Araki spoke calmly after hearing Kyoraku's words.

"Hikifune Kiryu."

Upon hearing this, Kyoraku revealed the name Hikifune Kiryu.

"Hikifune Kiryu?!"

"Okay, I know……"

Araki's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this; he had naturally heard of the name Hikifune Kiryu before...

The last member of the 'Zero Squad'~ and also the originator of the 'Ghost Soul' technique.

"As for the 'Fifth Division', I don't think Captain-Commander Araki needs to worry about that..."

"I've seen a few promising talents in the 'Fifth Division' back then!"

"The reason why these promising talents have remained unknown in the 'Fifth Division' for so many years is simply because their former captain was an intolerant and extremely petty person!"

"I think that without their captain's suppression, some of these promising talents will soon stand out and become the new captain of the 'Fifth Division'?"

After Araki finished speaking, Jushiro Ukitake immediately chimed in.

"I see……"

Araki nodded slightly in response. He had never worried about the lack of strength of the 5th Division's leader. After all, in a few hundred years, a certain hair gel guy should be the captain of the 5th Division.

"Now that the issue of vacant captains for the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 12th Divisions of the Gotei 13 has been resolved, this meeting of captains is now adjourned. Everyone, please attend to your duties!"

After everyone resolved the issue of the vacancy for the captain of the Gotei 13, Araki immediately announced the end of the captain meeting and headed towards the lounge behind him as soon as the meeting adjourned.

It seems that Araki, as the captain-in-chief, is even less willing to hold a meeting of team leaders than the other ordinary captains...

"They're gone, they're gone..."

As Araki finished speaking, apart from Uno Retsu, who stayed in the 'First Division' to have something important to do with Araki, the other division captains all left the 'First Division's' captain's room.

"From now on, the Seireitei is likely to become quite lively..."

Kuchiki Ginryu was naturally one of the captains who left the captain's room. His eyes revealed endless seriousness as he walked quietly through the streets of Seireitei with his right hand behind his back.

"I wonder what will become of our Kuchiki family in the era to come..."

"I wonder if Cang Chun can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Kuchiki family and become a qualified head of the Kuchiki family."

As Kuchiki Ginryu walked down the street, his mind was filled with complicated thoughts, and he felt an indescribable sorrow. Others envied the Kuchiki family children for their superior talent, but only Ginryu himself, as the head of the Kuchiki family, knew what kind of pain it was to be too talented.

For example, his child, Kuchiki Sojun, although he inherited the powerful talent of his Kuchiki family, due to a small accident at birth, his spiritual body was born extremely weak and unable to withstand excessive spiritual pressure!

However, the Kuchiki family's talent made Sojun extremely sensitive to spiritual particles. His body was constantly and slowly absorbing spiritual particles from the outside world to strengthen himself, which caused Kuchiki Sojun's body to deteriorate more and more, thus falling into a vicious cycle of weak spiritual body.

"Ugh……"

"Never mind, children and grandchildren have their own blessings!"

Thinking of this, Kuchiki Ginryu sighed helplessly. In any case, he could continue to protect his children and grandchildren in the position of captain of the 'Sixth Division' for hundreds of years. As for the future of the Kuchiki family, he would leave it all to his future self to handle! After Kuchiki Ginryu understood this, he sighed deeply and walked towards his home.

At the same time, all the sages and judges of the 'Central Forty-Six Chambers' also gathered at the temple.

Because Araki's return was such a big deal, it couldn't be kept secret any longer. So, after the team leader meeting convened by Araki, the 'Central 46' finally learned of Araki's return...

In addition, they learned that the former Captain-Commander had been promoted to the Zero Division, and that Araki had succeeded him as the new Captain-Commander. Furthermore, Araki had killed the captains of the Third and Fifth Divisions on his very first day as Captain-Commander. Araki didn't seem to care much about this, as he had deliberately leaked this information to the wise men of the Central 46.

"He killed someone on his very first day as the new chief of staff?"

"Or should we just kill the two captains of the 'Gotei 13'?"

"This is not something we can simply dismiss by donating teaching materials and promoting the development of the 'True Central Spiritual Arts Academy'."

After witnessing Araki's actions in just one day, a wise man frowned deeply and shook his head as he spoke.

“Those two captains deserved to die. The filth they did disgusted me.”

There are also wise people who support Araki's actions.

"Even if those two captains truly deserved to die, it should have been us who did it. Araki, a mere captain, killed them for us—what does that mean? Is he trying to make the arbitration decision on behalf of the '46'?!"

Similarly, just as there are those who support Araki, there are also those who are extremely dissatisfied with his actions.

"Not just any captain, but the commander-in-chief..."

Someone reminded the sage.

"The captain is still the captain, and the captain has to listen to us, the '46th Division'!"

"Killing someone without our permission! Isn't this taking advantage of the fact that 'Room 46' has no one to rely on?"

Upon hearing this, the sage angrily retorted.

"Indeed! This Captain Araki is bullying honest people."

After the sage almost roared out his idea, he immediately gained the support of the other sages.

"I think we need to warn Captain-Commander Araki and tell him not to get too out of line..."

At this point, a wise man made a suggestion.

"Give up, our warnings to Araki are completely useless!"

"Besides being the captain-in-chief, he's also a member of the 'Zero Squad.' He's a royal agent directly under His Majesty the 'Spirit King,' so he can act first and report later! And he doesn't report to us, but goes directly to His Majesty the 'Spirit King' to tell him what happened..."

There were also more composed sages who, while yawning, spoke with a sense of helplessness.

"This won't work, that won't work either..."

"We're so frustrated being in the 'Central 46th Bureau'."

After several hours of discussion among the sages and judges, they were surprised to find that they had no way to deal with Araki and could only watch as he displayed his talents in the Seireitei.

"Ugh……"

For a moment, the sages of the 'Forty-Six Chambers' were all beating their chests and stamping their feet, sighing and lamenting.

This was the first time these people had felt such anguish since they became the sages of the 'Forty-Six Chambers'.

The meeting went on for several hours amidst the discussions of the 'Forty-Six Chambers'. Even after the sun, which had been setting, had quietly risen from the east, the wise men of the 'Forty-Six Chambers' still hadn't come up with a suitable solution.

at the same time……

Several hours after the team leaders' meeting.

The following morning, Tsunayoshiro Tokinada made a high-profile return to the Tsunayoshiro family.

"Oh ho, you're all here?!"

After pushing open the door to the clan elders' meeting room, Shi Nada happened to see the head of the clan and others having a meeting. It was clear that Araki's high-profile return yesterday had also alarmed the entire Tsunayoshiro clan.

"Shi Tan, how dare you come back?!"

Inside the family meeting room, the head of the Tsunayo family, along with the other four elders, looked at Tsunayo Tokina and angrily questioned him.

"Isn't this just my way of trying to ease tensions with you all?!"

"Don't rush to send me away, I've come to give you a gift..."

As Shi Tan spoke, he tossed a packaged gift box in front of everyone.

"This is?!"

The elders of the Tsunayo family were stunned when they saw the gift box in front of them.

"Be careful, this thing is very valuable!"

"Since you're curious, why don't you open it and take a look..."

As Shi Tan spoke, he waved to the crowd.

"Um?!"

Although the elders of the Tsunayo family hesitated, given Tsunayo Tokina's status as the captain of the 9th Division, and considering that Tokina's master, Araki, had officially become the captain-commander of the Gotei 13 the previous night, they still opened the gift box despite their displeasure.

When the gift box was opened, a small urn containing ashes came into view.

"Bastard thing!!"

The head of the Tsunayoshiro family, upon seeing the urn before him, suddenly had a blazing fire in his eyes and threw it to the ground. With a soft 'crack,' the ground was covered in white dust…

"You're the one who's a bastard! Look at how you treat your father! You just threw him on the ground like that! You unfilial son!"

Upon seeing the head of the family's actions, Shi Tan's usual serene demeanor vanished. Veins bulged on his forehead as he spoke angrily to the head of the family before him.

"Shi Tan, what do you mean by this?!"

After hearing Shi Tan's words, the head of the family was slightly taken aback, then his expression changed drastically as he realized something.

Although the head of the family felt that Shi Tan was insulting him, he didn't think Shi Tan would be so bored. This naturally evil brat from the branch family must have something even more disgusting waiting for him...

Just as the governor had thought.

"Ugh……"
