Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Then, after hearing what the head of the family said, Tan first let out a long sigh.

He then took a sword from his waist and, in front of everyone, tore off the disguise of the Zanpakuto!

As a piece of paper with the word 'hidden' written on it disappeared, the true appearance of the knife was revealed to everyone present.

"This is the Mirror of Beauty?!"

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

As members of the Tsuna Yayo family, how could they not recognize their ancestral Zanpakuto?!

Shouldn't this knife be in the master's hands?!

Thinking this, everyone looked thoughtfully at the ashes on the ground...

"father!"

The family head knelt down and picked up the ashes from the ground with both hands.

"I told you to be careful, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened! Your father is gone, destroyed by your own actions..."

In response, Shi Tan looked at the head of the family kneeling on the ground and said helplessly.

Continue, 10,000 words!

Chapter 132 Foolish! You're dead, and all your things are gone too.

If it were just an urn of ashes, it would at most be Shi Tan's way of annoying these elders. His subconscious message was probably to tell these elders of the Gangyida family not to rely on their seniority and that it was time for them to step down from their positions at the top of the Gangyida family...

However, Shi Tan did not only take out an urn, but also pulled out the Yanluo Mirror, the ancestral divine sword of the Gangmida family, in front of everyone. It should be noted that the Yanluo Mirror has always been worn by the head of the Gangmida family. Considering that the head of the Gangmida family had been missing for half a year, everything was self-evident.

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

"Shitan, could it be that you have betrayed the Tsunayoshi family?!"

"Shitan, where exactly did the former head of our Gangyida family go? Yanluo Jingdian has always been the head's sword, and whose ashes are in this urn? Could it be that the disappearance of the former head is related to you?"

"Shitan, do you know what consequences you will face for murdering the former head of our Tsunayo family?"

"Shi Tan, I originally thought you were the most outstanding talent among the younger generation of our Gangmida family. Now it seems I was so wrong. You are a disloyal, unjust, unfilial, and disobedient scoundrel! We will definitely punish you according to family law!"

In an instant, apart from the head of the Tsunayo family, who was kneeling on the ground, holding the white ash scattered on the ground, and crying with tears streaming down his face, the family's "second elder," "third elder," "fourth elder," and the newly appointed "fifth elder" all questioned Tsunayo Tokina.

"Ha ha……"

However, after listening to the elders' words, Shi Tan just sneered.

These 'five elders' may seem to be questioning him, but in reality, they are just making excuses for their incompetence and ambition!

Look at them, they don't even bother to verify, they just assume that the head of the Tsunayo family is dead. Some of them even added the prefix "former" to the Tsunayo family head who has been missing for half a year!

These people appear to be questioning Shi Tan for the sake of their family and justice, but in reality, it's all for their own future, so they can better compete for the position of head of the family. To put it bluntly, it's all about so-called 'power' and 'profit'.

"Ha ha……"

After the group of "Five Elders" finished questioning Shi Tan, they waited quietly for his reply.

"Have you old bastards said enough?!"

"If you've said enough, why don't you listen to what I have to say?"

Shi Tan merely smiled disdainfully. He casually lifted one of the clan elders from beside the round table and threw him behind him. Then, he plopped down in the elder's chair, facing the group of elders before him, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Shi Tan, you rude bastard..."

Although the clan elder was angry with Shi Tan, he had no choice but to reluctantly sit down next to Shi Tan because of Shi Tan's strength.

"Snapped!"

"Shi Tan, what exactly do you mean?!"

As Shi Tan finished speaking, the 'Three Elders' sitting not far from Shi Tan were immediately enraged. He slammed his hand on the round table in the conference room, intending to give Shi Tan a good scolding as an elder of the clan.

"Wait!"

However, before the three elders could speak, the two elders beside him stopped him.

"Second brother..."

Although the three elders were puzzled, they still stopped what they were doing.

"Shi Tan, just say what you have to say!"

The two elders did not explain anything to the group of clan elders beside them, but instead looked directly at Shi Tan in front of them and asked.

"Phew..." Shi Tan sighed deeply upon hearing this, and then said to everyone, "Then I'll tell you."

"Look at this! I just went out of kindness to return your head's ashes to you, and not only did you not show the slightest bit of gratitude, you actually want to punish me?! You even said you'd use family law on me?"

"Please, the head of the family is gone now, what right do you elders have to punish me?! You keep talking about family rules, but your actions show no respect for them whatsoever, it's utterly absurd..."

Shi Tan sat down in his chair with an air of authority and addressed the group of clan elders in front of him without any politeness.

From Shi Tan's words and actions, one could not discern that he had any respect for these clan elders whatsoever.

"Um……"

As Shi Tan finished speaking, all the elders present frowned.

"As Tokina said, more important than punishing the guilty is electing a new head of the family! You should all know that just as a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, the Tsunayashiro family cannot be without a head of the family for a day!"

"In fact, our Tsunayoshiro family should have chosen a successor as early as half a year ago when the previous head of the family disappeared! However, given that our family's ancestral Zanpakuto, Enra Kagami, also disappeared along with the previous head of the family..."

"Therefore, the issue of electing a new head of the family has been stalled and delayed! However, now that our family's ancestral Zanpakuto, Enra Kagami, has been found by Tokina, it is time to start the election for a new head of the family."

After hearing Shi Tan's words, the two elders of the family gently stroked their beards and spoke calmly to the assembled clan elders.

"You old scoundrel, Di Qianweng, what do you mean by this?!"

"You're implying that it was my father who lost the Mirror of Beauty, which is why our Tsunayoshi family hasn't been able to hold the head election meeting properly for the past six months..."

"Do you have some grievance against my father? Or do you believe that my father suppressed you to rise to power, so you harbor a great deal of hatred towards him?"

"Could it be that you're in cahoots with Shi Tan? Is my father's death also related to you, you old geezer?!"

The head of the Tsunayo family, who was kneeling on the ground silently collecting the ashes, was enraged after hearing the words of the "two elders." He no longer bothered to use the honorific title of "two elders," and instead addressed them by their names, pointing his finger at their noses and angrily questioning them.

"Your Excellency, you've acted rashly. I didn't say that..."

"We have all witnessed the actions of the previous head of the family, and naturally we will not overlook the contributions he made to our Tsunayo family during his tenure! It's just that the Yanluo Mirror Canon was indeed lost by the previous head of the family, and it was indeed found by Shitan. I am merely stating a fact..."

"What? Does the Head of the Clan not even allow this old man to state the facts?!"

"As for the claim that I conspired with Shi Tan to frame the previous leader, that's utter nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, the two elders secretly suppressed the smile that was playing on their lips and spoke with a smile to the young head of the family in front of them.

With just two short sentences, the old man immediately diminished some of the dissatisfaction everyone in the meeting room felt towards Shi Tan. After all, as the old man said, the knife was indeed lost by the previous leader, and it was indeed Shi Tan who found it. This was an undeniable fact in front of everyone.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, the head of the family trembled, his anger rising ever higher.

"Furthermore, the previous head of the family was incredibly powerful, and he even wielded the divine sword Yanluo Mirror, a heirloom of the Tsuna-Yashiro family! Head of the family, do you really think that Tokina and I alone have any chance of killing the previous head of the Tsuna-Yashiro family?!"

"Let's put it another way. If the dignified head of our Tsunayoshiro family could be easily killed by an old man and a young man, he wouldn't deserve to be the head of our Tsunayoshiro family! Our Tsunayoshiro family has dominated the Soul Society for over a hundred years, relying on absolute strength. Only the strongest deserve the position of head..."

The two elders looked at the head of the family, who was still enduring the situation, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"You old bastard, I've put up with you for far too long! Don't think I won't hit you..."

At this moment, the head of the family was truly enraged, and he drew his Zanpakuto from his waist.

Upon seeing this, the two elders immediately retreated further and further behind them...

"Your Excellency, you acted impulsively..."

“Your Excellency, even though you hold a high position, you shouldn’t speak to your elders like that.”

Seeing that the head of the Tsunayoshiro family was about to lose his temper in front of everyone, the clan elders who had been silent stood up and tried to persuade him.

"Good, good, good..."

"Hello! You elders are all very kind."

Upon hearing this, the acting head of the clan, Gang Mi, trembled slightly. He hadn't expected that the old scoundrel held such a high position in the clan, that his words could elicit such a response from so many elders...

In just a few dozen seconds, he struggled with his thoughts several times, but in the end he yielded to the elders. The head of the Tsunayoshi family, somewhat embarrassed, put away the Zanpakuto he had just drawn and sat back down in his seat, looking dejected and helpless.

"Young people have tempers, and it's normal for them to be impulsive..."

"However, if you want to become the head of the Tsunayo family, you are still a bit short of the mark and need to hone your skills more."

The two elders, seeing that the head of the family had calmed down, returned to their seats and continued their eloquent sermon.

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, the head of the household immediately showed signs of becoming agitated again.

"Without further ado, let's formally convene the election meeting for the head of the Tsunayoshi family!"

The two elders didn't give the head of the family a chance to lash out. They turned to the group of elders sitting at the round table and began to speak.

"If nothing unexpected happens, according to the rules of our Tsunayoshiro family, after the previous head of the family abdicates, the position should be taken over by the first in line of head of the family! However..."

Next, the person who spoke was the third elder of the Tsunamiyo family. He started by reciting the rules of the Tsunamiyo family, seemingly in favor of the head of the family. However, his words were very roundabout, and he paused when his words were about to be detrimental to the head of the family.

The three elders did not speak further, but simply looked at the head of the Tsunayo family.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Say whatever you want to say..."

The head of the household looked at the three elders with dissatisfaction and spoke.

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing the head of the family's words, the three elders gave a cold laugh. They knew in their hearts that the head of the family was beyond saving. They had been watching the head of the family just now, waiting for him to speak, make promises to everyone, and cede more benefits to them...

Unfortunately, the current head of the family is a fool who lives off his father. Without his father, who is now acting as the current head of the family, he is nothing. Thinking of this, the three elders hardened their hearts.

"However, given the current special circumstances of our Tsunayoshiro family, I think it's unnecessary to follow tradition! How about we follow the practices of this special period, with the participation of the 'Five Elders' of our Tsunayoshiro family, and elect our new head through a recommendation system? What do you all think?"

The three elders, with a cold smile, asked the group of clan elders around them.

"I have no objection..."

The two elders were the first to speak.
