Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"No objections!"

"Same as above!"

Immediately afterwards, the 'Four Elders' and 'Five Elders' echoed each other.

"Ha ha……"

Although the clan leader was furious, looking at the 'Four Elders' and 'Five Elders' who had taken sides, he knew that this was targeting him. No matter how angry he was, he was powerless to change the situation. He could only look at the faces of the clan elders and sneer repeatedly.

"I disagree."

However, before the head of the family could speak, Shi Tan, who was sitting at the same round table as everyone else, was the first to express his dissatisfaction.

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

"Shi Tan, you have no right to speak here! You are still suspected of murdering the previous leader!"

After hearing Shi Tan's words, the elders all spoke angrily to him.

"Qualifications? I retrieved your ancestral Mirror of Beauty for you old folks, and even found the ashes of your former leader! With that kind of achievement, there shouldn't be any problem with me running for the leadership position, right?!"

Shi Tan looked at the group of clan elders and asked in return.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, the elders were momentarily speechless.

"Besides, I'm sitting at this round table now, on equal footing with you all."

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Shi Tan continued his sermon.

"You took that seat from me..."

As Shi Tan finished speaking, the five elders of the family stood up angrily and roared at Shi Tan.

"boom!"

Without a word, Shi Tan drew his Zanpakuto from his waist and slashed down hard at the noisy 'Five Elders'! Instantly, bright red blood splattered across the entire round table. The elders were dumbfounded. No one had expected that 'Shi Tan' would actually dare to suddenly attack someone in front of everyone, just like that crazy teacher!

The five elders who had been struck by Shi Tan stared wide-eyed at Shi Tan, their eyes filled with disbelief. They then lay down on the ground behind them, unconscious.

"How can someone who can't even protect his own seat possibly protect his family and the people behind him after becoming the head of the Tsunayoshiro family?!"

"Please believe in me, everyone! In this dog-eat-dog world, only I, Tsunayoshiro Tokinada, can lead our Tsunayoshiro family to become stronger and stronger! Only I can make the Tsunayoshiro family great again!"

Shi Tan gently wiped the blood off his Zanpakuto, then sheathed it, and said with a smile to everyone present.

"Shi Tan, you've gone too far!"

The "third elder," who had been held down by the "second elder," stood up once again and angrily addressed Shi Tan.

"Don't just stand there, quickly take him down for treatment."

Then, the three elders addressed the group of terrified members of the Tsunayoshiro family behind them.

"Oh, okay, okay..."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Tsunayo family dared not hesitate and immediately carried the 'Five Elders' who were lying on the ground, having suddenly gone into shock and unconsciousness due to excessive blood loss.

"Also, take down this scoundrel who injured the 'Five Elders' at the meeting and is suspected of plotting against the previous leader! Imprison him until the leadership election meeting is over, and then the new leader will interrogate Shi Tan."

Immediately afterwards, the three elders continued to issue orders to the Gangmidai clansmen who were listening in the meeting room.

"Humph~"

To this, Tsunayoshi Tokinada simply smiled dismissively, remaining quietly seated in his place, motionless.

"Hey! Third brother, aren't you getting a little too excited?"

“I think Shitan did a great job! Just as Shitan said, these ‘Five Elders’ can’t even hold onto their own positions. If such a weak person were to take charge of our Tsunayoshi family, it would be a disaster!”

"Shitan has made the right choice for the future of our Tsunayoshi family. Shouldn't we be happy? I think Shitan has made a contribution. Why don't we let him replace the 'Five Elders' and participate in the upcoming election for the head of our Tsunayoshi family..."

Just as the three elders were furious, the second elder spoke up again, stopping the third elder from speaking.

If the two elders spoke up for their own benefit just now, then now that they are speaking up for Toki no Nakama again, anyone with eyes can see that the relationship between the two elders and Tsunayoshi Toki no Nakama is probably not simple.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you...?"

The 'Third Elder' gradually regained consciousness. He looked at the 'Second Elder' beside him with a hint of fear in his eyes. The 'Second Elder' in front of him was his second brother, and he felt inexplicably unfamiliar with him.

"Elders, do you think what I said is correct?"

The two elders did not explain anything to the three elders beside them, but instead asked the group of clan elders listening in behind them.

"That's absolutely right..."

The moment the two elders spoke, they immediately received a response from the other elders.

"Something's wrong! It's so wrong..."

The three elders finally couldn't sit still any longer. Their bodies trembled slightly as they looked at Shi Tan beside them.

"Shi Tan, what exactly did you do? Tell me, what exactly did you do to them?"

"What exactly do you possess that makes the clan elders speak up for you?!"

"As a descendant of a branch family, what makes you think you're worthy to sit at the same table as us and participate in the election for the head of the Tsunayoshi family? Toki, answer me..."

The three elders looked at Shi Tan beside them and questioned him angrily.

"My origins are indeed humble compared to those of you here!"

"But I was lucky enough to have a good master."

Shi Tan smiled faintly at the 'Three Elders' and also at all the 'Clan Elders' present.

"you……"

As Shi Tan finished speaking, the expressions of the head of the Gang Midai family and the three elders all changed.

At that moment, they seemed to understand why Shi Tan appeared so fearless...

Because Tokina's master, who is currently the strongest Shinigami in the Seireitei, as well as the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 and a member of the Royal Special Agent Zero Division, Araki, has interfered in the affairs of the Tsunayoshiro family, things have suddenly become incredibly complicated...

"Do you think your teacher can interfere in the affairs of our Tsunayoshiro family at will?"

The three elders seemed to have become enraged and scolded Shi Tan.

"What? Are you saying that I can't participate in the election for the head of your Tsunayoshiro family?"

Just as the three elders opened their mouths, the door to the Tsunayoshiro family's meeting room was suddenly pushed open forcefully. Araki, wearing the haori of the First Division's captain, swaggered into the meeting room and coldly addressed the Tsunayoshiro family members present.

"Master."

Shi Tan saw the newcomer, immediately stood up from his seat, and made room for Araki.

"Um……"

Araki simply nodded and sat down. He had fought all night yesterday, and his back was aching. He hadn't even had time to rest before rushing over to the Tokinada platform...

After becoming the captain of the Gotei 13, Araki clearly felt that his workload had increased.

"Captain Araki."

As Araki took his seat, the two elders immediately smiled and nodded slightly at him.

Meanwhile, the fourth elder, who had been silent all along, also smiled, just like the second elder.

At that moment, the three elders and the head of the family felt a chill in their hearts. It was clear that Araki had come prepared; he was certain that the Tsunayoshiro family was doomed...

"I also have an appointment with the Central 46th Bureau later, so I'll keep it brief here..."

Araki nodded to the two elders and four elders of the Tsunayo family, and then spoke directly.

"Captain Araki is extremely busy and always works very hard. You can just tell us what's on your mind..."

As soon as Araki finished speaking, the 'Four Elders' immediately flattered him.

"Um……"

"I suggest that the new head of your Tsunayoshiro family be my student, and also the most outstanding young person in your Tsunayoshiro family, Tsunayoshiro Tokina..."

"Which of you is in favor and who is against?"

Araki sat at the round table, exuding an aura of authority, as if he were the true head of the Tsunayoshiro family.

Araki didn't even glance at the elders of the Tsunayoshiro family, but spoke calmly and quietly.

"I object!"

The three elders of the Tsunayoshiro family were really going all out at this moment. The instant Araki finished speaking, they stood up from their seats and roared at Araki.

"I object too!"

As for the head of the Tsunayo family, who already had a blood feud with Tokina, he also made his move at this moment. He looked at Araki and said fiercely, "Even if you, Araki, have immense power, you are just an outsider here. You have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of our Tsunayo family!"

"Shh!"

Araki listened to the incessant squawking around him, not even bothering to lift his eyelids. He casually drew his Zanpakuto from his waist and swung it twice at the air, not even bothering to aim...

Instantly, as Araki made his move, two jet-black slashes shot into the sky from the Zanpakuto in Araki's hand, sending the screaming head of the clan and the 'three elders' flying.

"Am I qualified now?!"

"Who still objects now?"

Araki gently sheathed his Zanpakuto back into his waistband, and then coldly questioned the elders present.

"..."

As Araki finished speaking, the elders fell silent.

"Clap clap clap..."

Before anyone could speak, the two elders of the Tsunayo family had already started clapping.

"Thank you, Captain Araki, for eliminating two more scoundrels for our Tsunayoshiro family! The future of our Tsunayoshiro family has suddenly become much brighter..."

The two elders stood up and spoke to Araki with fervor.

"Captain-Commander Araki is mighty and domineering; we, the leaders of Tsunayo, are still far inferior..."

"Young people, look closely! This is the kind of role model you should all learn from!"

"When you see a scoundrel, don't hesitate, strike hard..."

The 'Four Elders' of the Tsunayoshi family were also masters of persuasion, and he stood up, looking at Araki and praising him endlessly.
