Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Um……"

Araki, satisfied with what he heard, hung up the phone with 'Ten Ting Kong Luo'.

"You guys..."

Araki looked at the representatives of the other four families in front of him and asked.

"The 20 billion yen owed by the Shiba family will be split equally among the four of us."

It goes without saying that Tsunayo and the head of the Shihouin family are the same people, and Tokina and Yoruichi unconditionally support Araki.

As for the Kuchiki family's head, Kuchiki Ginrin, and the representative sent by the family connected to 'Hell' to deliver money, they agreed quite readily this time. Everyone was aware of the Shiba family's situation, and considering that they were all members of the 'Five Great Noble Families,' yet the Shiba family was in such a miserable state, everyone decided to help them out if they could.

"By the way, the head of the Shiba family is probably going to die today. As his friends, try to visit him as often as possible! And remember to bring a few bags of rice when you do..."

After listening to everyone's words, Araki first nodded slightly, and then gave them some instructions.

"I'll wait to understand."

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

"Strive to live on, Brother Tianjun..."

After speaking softly, Araki used his ability to collect all the money in front of him, then walked towards the 'First Squad'. Ever since he had witnessed the sight of a mountain formed from a hundred billion 'rings', seeing another hundred billion no longer moved him so much; he seemed to have become accustomed to it…

On the other side, the Shiba family's ancestral land.

"Dude, are you crazy?!"

Shiba Sawahiro looked at Shiba Tenjun and asked.

"I'm doing this for your own good, aren't I?"

"Your reluctance to get married isn't a problem!"

"Besides, is it that Captain-Commander Araki isn't handsome enough? Or is it that he lacks strength and status?"

"To be honest, you're already marrying above your station..."

Tianjun looked helplessly at his younger sister and spoke.

"That's not how it is..."

"Do you want your sister to be killed by Captain Uji?!"

As Zehong spoke, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Between the opposite sex and survival…

Zehong just wanted to be alright and survive in this damned 'Seireitei'...

"Well, you're right..."

After hearing Ze Hong's words, Tian Jun remembered the relationship between Araki and Uno Retsu. If he mishandled this, it could be the day the Shiba family was wiped out.

"Ha ha……"

"Let's just pretend that what just happened never happened."

As Tianjun spoke, he revealed a hearty, almost idiotic smile.

Tenjun's smile was almost identical to Shiba Isshin's usual smile.

"How can we pretend that what just happened didn't exist!"

As Ze Hong spoke, he punched Tian Jun on the head.

'First Team' barracks.

After accepting the money, Araki quickly returned to his own 'First Division' barracks.

However, when Araki arrived at the captain's room of his own 'First Division' with the door wide open, his brows furrowed tightly.

At that moment, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Araki's heart.

"Araki! Come here first, I want to talk to you about something."

Just as Araki was frowning, he saw that in his captain's room, the old man Genryusai was standing in front of his mountain of money, looking at him with a kind face.

"Oh no! That old man is trying to steal my money!"

Araki, seeing Genryusai's behavior, immediately realized something was wrong!

It must be said that he was indeed careless. He thought that no one would dare to enter his captain's room to steal anything in this huge 'Seireitei'! But Araki, despite his careful planning, forgot one very important thing!

Outsiders are easy to guard against, but thieves within your own ranks are hard to guard against!

This old man from the mountain is their 'Yuanliu's' biggest traitor...

"No money!"

Without a second thought, Araki began to preach to Genryusai.

"Tsk! Do you think I'm the kind of person who would covet your money? I just want to borrow some from you..."

"Once the captains of the other squads see that you, as the Captain-Commander, are giving me money to start the 'Shinigami Academy,' then they, the junior captains, will have to contribute too! They naturally won't know that this money is borrowed from me; you'll understand when the time comes~"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Liuzhai immediately became furious and spoke patiently to Araki.

"hehe."

Araki merely gave a cold laugh after hearing Genryusai's words.

Genryusai's move seems somewhat familiar! Yes, Araki used this same trick to trick the '46th Chamber'!

"No borrowing!"

Araki spoke firmly to Genryusai.

I'm so sorry, Master Yuan Liuzhai, but what you're playing is all stuff that I, your disciple, have already finished playing~

Chapter 135 Araki's Challenger! The Legendary Seventh Generation

"You really won't lend it?!"

Genryuzhai frowned deeply after hearing what Araki said.

"I really won't lend it!"

Araki responded firmly.

"You have so much money, what's wrong with lending some to your teacher?!"

Are you afraid that I won't pay back the debt I owe you?

Yuan Liuzhai glared at Araki, his beard bristling, and said angrily.

"Indeed."

"I am not unaware of your financial situation; it would be an exaggeration to say that you are destitute."

Araki nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"you you……"

Genryusai hadn't expected Araki to be so honest, which left him somewhat at a loss...

If Araki had been even slightly more modest, he wouldn't be in such an awkward and embarrassing situation.

"My disciple, as your master, I've watched you grow up all along!"

"Given our relationship, lending me some money shouldn't be difficult for you, right?!"

Seeing that Araki wouldn't listen to force, Yuan Liuzhai immediately changed his attitude. He looked at Araki with a kind and gentle expression and spoke to him in the softest tone he had ever used.

“Master Yuan Liuzhai, please stop talking to your disciple like that…”

"To be honest, your apprentice still prefers your previous 'unruly' and 'authoritative' demeanor!"

"Besides, your current expression is really disgusting to me..."

Araki shuddered involuntarily after hearing Genryusai's words.

Araki had never seen Genryusai so amiable in his entire life!

Even after he successfully defeated Genryusai in Hueco Mundo, Genryusai was not so amiable...

Araki thought to himself, "Perhaps this is the power of money?"

The ancients said, "Money can make the devil turn the millstone!" This saying is indeed true!

After inwardly marveling at how true the ancients were, Araki said to Genryuzhai in a low voice, "Master Genryuzhai, I can consider other matters, but please don't bring up the matter of borrowing money again! It would be too late to hurt the deep bond between you and your disciple."

There was nothing he could do; Araki had grown accustomed to the incredibly strict Genryusai-sai, and he simply couldn't accept this old man who had lost his former imposing manner...

"You insolent brat! Who are you calling unruly? How dare you speak to your master like that?"

"And that's just some money, those are worldly things, how can they compare to the feelings between you and your master?! I think Araki, you've started to get confused since you became the Captain-Commander!"

After hearing Araki's words, Genryusai gripped the wooden scabbard tightly and slammed it hard on the floor of the 'First Division' barracks, while angrily speaking to Araki.

"Yes, that's the way he's blowing his beard and glaring! This time it's just right..."

After hearing Genryusai's angry curses, Araki suddenly smiled.

After Genryusai started to lose his temper, Araki finally felt much better.

The old man in front of him, throwing a tantrum, was actually his familiar teacher, Yuan Liuzhai…

"Araki, you damned brat, you're really infuriating me..."

"Today, I will use this Zanpakuto in my hand, which still possesses top-tier attack power even within the 'Zero Squad'—'Zanka Tachi'—to teach you a lesson."

When Yuan Liuzhai saw that his unworthy disciple, Araki, had smiled after he had gotten angry, the veins on his forehead bulged and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. This was the prelude to Yuan Liuzhai losing control of his adrenaline and about to go berserk and kill someone!

For a moment, Yuan Liuzhai wished he could immediately unleash his 'Bankai' in front of Araki and then fight Araki for three hundred rounds! With his immense power after training in the 'Spirit King Palace', even someone as strong as Araki would definitely not have an easy time.

"Swastika-Remnant Fire Sword!!"

However, when Genryusai shouted the word "Bankai", his "Ryujin Jakka" did not react at all.

There wasn't even the slightest spark. It was only then that Yuan Liuzhai gradually came to his senses...

Oh, right, he remembered...

Although his 'Bankai' has been improved to a certain extent, it is still too powerful because of the Bankai of this Zanpakuto!

Therefore, he was sealed by the members of the Zero Division, and he could not use his Bankai until the blood oath was broken.
