Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"The rest is up to you."

Araki didn't say much, and simply dumped the mess on Shi Tan behind him.

"Okay, Master!"

Shi Tan bowed slightly to Huang Mu as a sign of respect.

"Ah."

Araki nodded slightly, then vanished from the Tsunayo family's meeting room in a flash.

Araki's matter isn't finished yet; he still has to face the next challenge. The sages and judges of the 'Forty-Six Chambers' are still waiting for him.

"So, everyone, regarding my appointment as the next head of the family, Tsuna..."

"Who is in favor and who is against?"

It can only be said that Shi Tan is indeed Araki's apprentice. The actions and words used in killing and questioning were exactly the same.

"I agree!"

The two elders were the first to choose to support Shi Tan.

"I agree too!"

The four elders were not to be outdone and continued to preach to Shi Tan.

"From today onwards, I will be the head of Tsunayoshiro."

As Shi Tan spoke, he once again tucked the beautiful mirror on the table back into his waistband.

In fact, Shi Tan never intended to give away this hard-won divine weapon. It was equipment he had personally obtained after killing the former leader; how could he simply return it?! He was just showing everyone present that he had found the Mirror of Beauty, and now that he had shown it to them, it was only rightfully his to be returned…

Tsuna Yayoi Family Medical Clinic...

It's unclear what Araki's mindset was, but although he killed the head of the Tsunayoshiro family with a single strike, he spared the life of the family's three elders. Now, thanks to the Tsunayoshiro family's advanced medical equipment, the three elders finally recovered somewhat and opened their weary eyes…

"Third brother, you're awake?!"

The two elders of the Tsunayo family were incredibly excited as they looked at their awakened third brother and grasped his hand.

"Second brother! We absolutely cannot, we cannot let Shitan become the head of our Tsunayoshi family..."

“Back then, Nada was just a lackey of Araki! If he were to become the head of the Tsunayoshiro family, our Tsunayoshiro family would be finished for life! Our family has been passed down for millions of years, and we can’t let it end like this in our generation…”

The three elders of the Tsunayo family truly cared deeply for their family. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to hold his brother's hand and keep telling him what was on his mind.

"Third brother, please don't get agitated..."

After hearing what their third brother said, the two elders looked somewhat helpless.

“Third brother, the Seireitei is now under Araki's control, which is inevitable! It's not something we can handle with just one or two people. Now that Araki has his eye on our Tsunayoshiro family, we have no choice but to endure it!”

"Besides, Shitan does indeed have the blood of our Tsunayoshi family flowing through his veins. What difference does it make who takes the headship? Since Shitan is so capable, let's just give it to him..."

The two elders were deeply devoted to their third brother, holding his hand and speaking to him continuously.

"Second brother, you're confused! This isn't as simple as it seems!"

"Although the beach still bore our surname, Tsuna, at that time, its heart had already belonged to the 'Yuanliu'!"

"His bloodline is no longer pure..."

At this moment, the 'third elder' of the Tsunayoshi family was already furious with his second brother. He gripped the other's hand tightly and said angrily.

"I know I know……"

Upon hearing this, the two elders looked helplessly at the ceiling, their expressions filled with sorrow.

"Forget it! I'll settle this score with Shi Tan after I recover."

The three elders watched their second brother remain silent for a long time, their brows furrowed tightly. They were determined to go and demand an explanation from Araki and Tokina once his injuries had healed.

"Third brother, why are you doing this?"

Upon hearing this, the two elders' eyes gradually turned cold.

"I have already made a decision on this matter, so there is no need for you to say more, Second Brother."

At this moment, the three elders had not yet noticed the strange look in the eyes of the two elders, and he was still talking non-stop.

"Third brother, what are you doing! If you just died like this, wouldn't you be spared the suffering that follows?!"

"You say you have such a strong will to live, so why bother?"

However, before the three elders could think further, the second elder continued to speak, and this time even the three elders noticed that something was wrong with the second elder.

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

The 'Third Elder,' who was lying on the hospital bed unable to move, looked terrified after hearing his 'Second Elder's' words and asked him a question.

"Don't blame your brother. Araki promised me that as long as I support Shitan, he would let me inherit the estates of the three elders! Now that the clan head is dead, the 'Fourth Elder' has submitted to Araki like me, and I've secretly taken over the estates of the 'Fifth Elder.' There's still one elder's estate missing. Guess whose it is?!"

As the two elders spoke, they pulled a dagger from their pockets and placed it against the neck of the immobile third elder.

"Second brother, listen to me..."

"Spare my life, and I'll give you all my possessions!"

At this moment, the three elders were truly panicked. The reason they dared to go and settle scores with Shi Tan and Araki after claiming they were cured was because Shi Tan and Araki had not killed them. They thought Shi Tan and Araki wouldn't dare to kill them. However, they didn't expect that it wasn't that Shi Tan and Araki didn't dare to kill them, but that the person who killed them was someone else.

"Foolish! Third brother, if you die, all your property will belong to your second brother..."

"Third brother, listen to your brother. Go to hell and wait for me. Once I've taken most of your family fortune, I'll come to hell to find you..."

As the two elders spoke, the dagger was already plunged into the neck of their third brother.

"Take a deep breath! Take a deep breath!"

"Dizziness is normal..."

"Dizziness means you're about to die."

The two elders kept their hands choked by their younger brother's neck until he passed away. Only then did they stop, and then used the white gauze from their brother's hospital bed to wipe their hands, which were covered in bright red blood.

"Um... that's what you call professional..."

Outside the ward window, in the small garden directly opposite, Shi Tan, who had just taken over as head of the household, saw the scene before him and spoke calmly to the 'Four Elders' behind him.

"As expected of the two elders, they are indeed formidable."

Upon hearing this, the four elders smiled faintly.

It wasn't his brother who died, so he had nothing to be sad about...

"From today onwards, you will be one of the three elders of the family."

As Shi Tan spoke, he patted the person behind him on the shoulder.

"my pleasure."

After hearing Shi Tan's words, the 'Fourth Elder' smiled. From this day forward, he would be the 'Third Elder' of the Tsunayoshi family, taking another significant step closer to ascending to the pinnacle of power…

Whale fall brings life to all things...

After the deaths of several elders of the Tsunayoshiro family, some people were saddened, but many more rejoiced. Every reveler was someone who had successfully gotten a share of the spoils in this feast.

"Then what happens next..."

"I've taken care of things on my end."

Shida wore the haori of the head of the Tsunayo family, with Yanluo Jingdian and his Zanpakuto hanging at his waist. A faint smile played on his lips. He had never felt so honored as he was today for his decision to become Araki's apprentice.

Since becoming Araki's apprentice, in just a few hundred years, his status has risen from that of a neglected son of a branch family of the Tsunayoshiro family to the captain of the 9th Division of the Gotei 13, and he has also become the head of the Tsunayoshiro family. If you really want to say something, he is now on equal footing with his senior sister, Yoruichi Shihouin, in terms of status...

the other side.

Araki has now arrived at the 'Central 46 Chambers'.

"Captain Araki! May I ask what business you have with our Central 46?"

The judges of the 'Forty-Six Chambers' looked at Araki cautiously and asked.

Facing Araki, who never considers the consequences of his actions and always rampages through the Soul Society, they dared not be the slightest bit careless or arrogant, and respectfully inquired of him.

After all, Araki is a guy who really dares to kill!

"Seeing you all reminds me of the past..."

Araki glanced at the assembled sages of the 'Forty-Six Chambers' and simply smiled faintly.

"Oh? Captain-Commander Araki, have you had any contact with us 'The 46' before?"

As soon as Araki spoke, the sages immediately asked him questions.

It seems she's planning to take this opportunity to cultivate a relationship with Araki...

"certainly……"

"The last time I came to Chamber 46, all the sages and judges in Chamber 46 were wiped out by the Hollow 'Kijijijiba' who escaped from the 'Spirit King Palace'! Thinking about it now, I kind of miss it..."

Araki smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"This……"

The expressions of the 'Forty-Six Chambers' all changed after hearing what Araki said.

What does Araki mean by discussing the Hollow-out massacre of the 46 Chambers in front of them?! Is he threatening them?!

"Ha ha……"

"I mean, I really miss the days when I led my team to Hueco Mundo and slaughtered the Menos Grande."

Araki, seeing the drastically changed expressions of the 'Clan 46' members, continued to explain.

"oh oh……"

After hearing Araki's words, the expressions on the faces of the '46' members improved somewhat.

Of course, it was only slightly better than before, when his face was ashen, as if his mother had died.

"Captain Araki, you mentioned the hunting of Hollows back then. Does this mean you plan to go to Hueco Mundo yourself to hunt Hollows?!"

At this moment, one of the sages from the 'Forty-Six Chambers' suddenly realized something, and he stood up from his seat with great excitement, looking at Araki and asking.

To be honest, he couldn't wait for Araki to leave Seireitei. He was willing to pay any price just to get Araki out of there...

"oh?!"
