Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

With a determined look in his eyes, Kuruyashiki strode forward.

Beside him was Asido, who was chasing after him.

"Captain Kuruyashiki, where are you headed next?!"

"Do you really intend to challenge all the captains of the Gotei 13 by yourself?"

Asido asked the man named Kuruyashiki.

"I am not trying to challenge the positions beneath the captains of the 'Thirteen Teams'."

"I just want to see where my limits really are?"

After listening to Asito's words, Kuruyashiki spoke calmly.

"Heh, that's a crazy move."

After hearing what Kuruyashiki said, Asito couldn't help but chuckle. Although Kuruyashiki hadn't given him a clear answer, it was still an answer in itself. He was shocked by Kuruyashiki's domineering behavior!

However, this is indeed the style of Kuruyashiki, challenging the Gotei 13 single-handedly, which is somewhat reminiscent of the legendary Kenpachi!

If it weren't for the existence of a "Kenpachi" in the current "Gotei 13," and if this "Kenpachi" were a top student of Captain-Commander Araki, Asido would absolutely believe that Kuruyashiki would become the new generation's "Kenpachi," leading the "11th Division" through all obstacles.

After Ashido got the information he wanted, he stopped talking and silently followed Kuruyashiki. It wasn't until Ashido realized that Kuruyashiki was heading towards the Fifth Division, not the Fourth Division, that he showed a puzzled expression.

"Captain Kuruyashiki, are you sure you're in the right place?!"

"It seems to lead to the 'Fifth Division' ahead, not the 'Fourth Division'."

"Since you intend to challenge the entire 'Thirteen Divisions' by yourself, the 'Fourth Division' shouldn't be left out either, right? I've heard that the current captain of the 'Fourth Division' is the wife of Captain-Commander Araki, and her strength is quite formidable..."

As if he had thought of something, Ashido looked at Kuruyashiki and asked.

"Forehead……"

After hearing what Asito said, Kuruyashiki fell silent.

Kuruyashiki silently watched Ashido with his head down. If he hadn't known Ashido for many years and understood his personality, and if he hadn't been certain that Ashido's actions were unintentional, he would have grabbed Ashido by the collar and demanded, "Was this intentional or accidental?! You just said that Captain Unori is Captain Araki's wife, and you still want me to challenge her? Are you out of your mind? What, do you think I, the commander of the 'Hueco Mundo' expeditionary force, have lived too long and am hindering your promotion to vice commander?!"

"Captain Kuruyashiki, you don't know the way to the 'Fourth Division', do you?!"

"I can take you there! To be honest, in order to help Lord Kushiyashiki, I have memorized the entire route of the Seireitei. Wherever you want to go, just tell me, and I can take you there..."

Asito continued to speak at length into Kuruyashiki's ear.

"Thank you so much!"

"You truly deserve to be my adjutant; you've been a great help to me."

Upon hearing this, Kuruyashiki's eyelids twitched slightly.

To be honest, this is the first time I've realized that Asido's personality is a bit one-track-minded...

On the other hand, if Asido weren't so stubborn, he wouldn't have been fighting alone in Hueco Mundo for so many years, just like in the original story.

"No need to thank me!"

At this moment, Asido still hadn't grasped the meaning behind Kuruyashiki's words.

"However, I don't plan to challenge Captain Uno for the time being..."

After thinking for a moment, Kuruyashiki decided it was best to tell Asito the reason, otherwise the child's stubbornness would probably resurface.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Upon hearing this, Asido showed a hint of doubt.

"In terms of swordsmanship alone, I am no match for Captain Uno Retsu."

Upon hearing this, Kuruyashiki shook his head immediately.

"Huh? Captain Uno Retsu is that strong?"

Upon hearing this, Asido's eyes trembled slightly.

"Heh, Captain Uno Retsu's strength far exceeds your imagination!"

Seeing Asido's shocked expression, Kuruyashiki smiled faintly.

As Kuruyashiki said, in terms of swordsmanship alone, Unoretsu is definitely superior to him! And Unoretsu's other skills, such as hand-to-hand combat, Shunpo (flash step), and Kido (demonic arts), are absolutely no weaker than his! Without a doubt, Unoretsu is his greatest enemy…

To defeat an opponent like Uno Retsu, he has no other way but to use his Bankai. Unfortunately, he can't use his Bankai right now! The Central 46 Chambers have explicitly forbidden him from using his Zanpakuto's Bankai in the Seireitei, under any circumstances.

So here's the problem: putting aside whether he could actually defeat Uno Retsu using his Bankai, he's absolutely certain he can't win without it. And since his Bankai is currently banned, in other words, even disregarding Uno Retsu's connection to Araki, he has absolutely no chance of winning against Uno Retsu. Thinking about it this way, it's better not to go at all…

"Eh?!"

This was the first time Asido had ever heard Kuruyashiki use the word "powerful" to refer to someone other than Captain-Commander Araki.

"And in some ways, Captain Uno Retsu might even be stronger than Captain-Commander Araki~"

Just as Asido was wondering, Kuruyashiki delivered another harsh remark to him.

"What? Captain Kuruyashiki, what do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, Asido immediately caught up with Kuruyashiki and asked in confusion.

"Yes, what does it mean exactly? Who knows?"

As he spoke, Kuruyashiki smiled and walked forward.

Only Asido, his face full of confusion, remained.

'First Team'.

"Da da da……"

A series of whipping sounds echoed continuously in the empty back hall of the captain's office.

At this moment, Araki and Uno Retsu used the platform that Araki usually used for speeches as a fulcrum, like a screw and nut, to hold it tightly, and a series of fierce fighting sounds came from it.

Beneath Araki and Uno Retsu, two monsters with seemingly inexhaustible stamina, lay the immortal Saito, his eyes dim. Saito, who wielded a Kido-style Zanpakuto, was completely unable to keep up with Araki and Uno Retsu's pace. He barely lasted a few rounds before collapsing to the ground, tongue lolling out, unconscious.

"Um?!"

Just as the battle between Araki and Uno Retsu was reaching its climax, Araki suddenly frowned slightly, a sense of unease creeping into his mind.

"what happened?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Uno Retsu hugged Araki's neck and whispered in Araki's ear, "What do you want to ask me?"

Suddenly, for some reason, I felt a sudden urge and a slight sense of unease...

"I have a feeling that during the time we've been training, something big is happening in the 'Gotei 13' that we're not aware of, which is not under anyone's command."

Upon hearing this, Araki spoke frankly.

"Why don't you go and take care of it first?"

Uno Retsu is indeed considerate; she can put her battle with Araki aside for the time being, with Araki's official duties taking precedence.

"No need for that! As long as those brats don't take advantage of our fight to turn the 'Gotei 13' upside down, let them be!"

After hearing Uno Retsu's words, Araki couldn't help but smile and said to Uno Retsu.

"it is good!"

Uno no Retsu was a woman of few words, and she didn't say anything, but her movements became more and more forceful.

"Humph!"

Araki, sensing the increasing power of Uo no Rei, also began to take things seriously.

His battle with Uno Retsu has only just begun...

"Abba, Ababa, Abba..."

As the battle between Araki and Uno Retsu intensifies!

Only Saito, who was unconscious, remained immortal and made a series of "abba" sounds.

Very well, a world has been born where only Saito, who is immortal, is injured.

the other side……

The Fifth Division's barracks.

After explaining his purpose to the captain of the 5th Division...

The captain, who had risen through the ranks from a noble family, smiled and agreed to Kuruyashiki's request for a sparring match. In the eyes of this captain, who came from an 'upper-class noble family,' the battle between him and Kuruyashiki was mostly just a show.

He'd seen too many of these kinds of charades. They'd say they wanted to spar with him, but the outcome of the match was already predetermined! The final result would definitely be a draw between him and Kuruyashiki! That way, neither of them would lose face.

In fact, if you think about it for a moment, it's not hard to understand why Kuruyashiki approached him! Having returned to the Seireitei after a century, Kuruyashiki needs his captain's help to make a name for himself there…

He could gain the friendship of the Kuruyashiki family, and at the same time, news would spread that he had fought to a draw with the commander of the Hueco Mundo expeditionary force, proving that he was not a slacker. Why wouldn't he be happy to do that?!

However, the sparring match between Kuruyashiki and the current captain of the 5th Division ended in an instant, right in the captain's dream...

"Pfft!"

With a soft thud, the captain of the 5th Division, his eyes rolled back, collapsed to his knees in front of Kuruyashiki and the rest of the 5th Division members, and lost consciousness completely.

"The village chief?!"

For a moment, the members of the 'Fifth Division' were completely dumbfounded. They never imagined that their invincible captain wouldn't even last a single move against Kuruyashiki!

"The next squad..."

As he spoke, Kuruyashiki prepared to head towards the next squad.

However, just as Kuruyashiki was about to leave, he suddenly sensed something and immediately turned his head to look at the group of soldiers of the 'Fifth Division'.

Just as Kuruyashiki was about to leave the 5th Division, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze from among the members of the 5th Division, whom he hadn't even glanced at...

Without a doubt, the owner of that gaze was an absolute monster, and even he wasn't 100% confident he could defeat him.

"Is it an illusion?"

However, the moment Kuruyashiki looked at the members of the 5th Division, his previous feeling suddenly vanished without a trace. Just as the feeling came without any warning, it also disappeared just as quickly.

"No! It can't be my imagination!"

After leaving the 5th Division's barracks, Kuruyashiki turned back and took a deep look. In his opinion, this was definitely the weakest division among the Gotei 13.

Kuruyashiki never expected that he could misjudge someone, or perhaps it's just that the 'Thirteen Teams' had been established for so long that it's not unreasonable to think that there were some hidden talents among them.

"Haha, interesting!"
