Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"You did a great job, goodbye!"

However, before they could say anything, Araki's voice suddenly echoed in their minds.

"Why?!"

The next second, these Adjuchas vanished into thin air, utterly bewildered.

Helibel looked up at the dissipating Adjuchas, puzzled.

"I'm sorry, I gave them the power of immortality, but not the mind to control that power."

Araki descended from the sky and landed in front of Halibel, his expression revealing a mixture of sorrow, helplessness, and pity. Araki was doing his best to continue the performance.

Who are you?

Helibel looked at the man in front of him and asked, puzzled.

"If you don't want to make sacrifices, you need to pursue power."

"If the power you seek is your ideal, then I can give you the power you desire..."

Araki didn't explain anything, but instead began to speak on his own.

"My ideal?!"

Heliber fell into deep thought.

"...Want even greater power!"

"Think about yourself. If you had greater power, there would be no more meaningless sacrifices. Today's situation would be completely over and would never happen to you again. That should be your ideal, right?!"

Araki looked at Halibel and spoke softly.

Don't you want to see what you've been hoping for, what your ideal world looks like?

Araki smiled slightly as he said this.

Halibel's gaze also underwent a certain change.

"Come with me! I will take you to the ideal land you've been longing for..."

“I would never force you to make a sacrifice like this today.”

Araki, observing the change in Halibel's expression, continued.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Halibel finally stopped hesitating and knelt down before Araki, offering her loyalty to him.

"Heh..." Araki looked at Halibel, who was offering his loyalty, and thought to himself, "As expected of my beloved disciple Aizen, he accomplished something that I, his master, would not know what to do!"

Yes, the words Araki just said to Halibel were also spoken by Araki's beloved apprentice, Aizen Sousuke...

Thus, Araki finally subdued his ninth divine general and named him—Boyira!

Currently, Araki only has three more divine generals left to fill the gap.

Araki had some ideas about one of these last three, but that person was not currently in Hueco Mundo.

Yes, Araki has finished his business in Hueco Mundo and is returning to Seireitei.

At the same time, Araki should give a proper thank you to his good apprentice, Aizen Sousuke.

After all, Aizen was the greatest contributor.

Years later, when the truth finally came out, Aizen looked at his beloved teacher and said helplessly, "So all your plans were my ideas, all your subordinates were trained by me, and I took the blame for everything. In the end, besides the empty title of 'Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13,' I didn't get any benefit at all?!"

"You truly are worthy of being my dear master!"

Aizen greeted Araki sincerely.

"Otherwise, what if I were your master?"

"Sousuke, you're still too young and too hasty."

"Sousuke, there is still so much you need to learn from your teacher..."

Araki simply smiled faintly at his beloved disciple.

A long chapter of 11,000 words~

Chapter 152 The Forty-Sixth Chamber is Destroyed Again! (By Araki)

Araki subdued Barragan's Vashj's forces and exploited Szayelaporro, bringing the two key figures from Szayelaporro's research lab, Theon and Rhoga, under his control.

After successfully winning over Halibel and Nereil using Aizen's strategy notes...

Araki first returned to the place where Kuruyashiki and Zaraki had fought, picked up the two unconscious people, and then used the power of the 'Hypergate' to leave 'Hueco Mundo' and return to 'Seireitei'.

There was no other way; someone at his home was checking up on him, so he couldn't stay in Hueco Mundo for long. After flirting with Halibel and Neriel, he quickly turned around and ran away.

'First Team' barracks.

"Captain Araki, good afternoon!"

"Captain Araki, you're back?"

"Captain Araki, is everything going smoothly?"

After returning to the Seireitei, Araki went straight to the First Division's barracks without any hesitation. The members of the First Division, seeing Araki return, excitedly went up to him and greeted him warmly.

"Take this guy to the barracks and let him get some rest."

"And this guy, send him back to the 11th Division."

When Araki saw his own 'First Division' members, he first nodded slightly as a greeting, then left the unconscious Kuruyashiki and Zaraki to the idle members.

"As ordered!"

The members of the 'First Division' were slightly taken aback when they saw the unconscious Kuruyashiki and Zaraki in front of them. They immediately bowed respectfully to Araki and accepted the order.

Although these members of the 'First Division' were also curious about the outcome of the battle between Kuruyashiki and Zaraki, they were all experienced members who knew what was best and did not directly ask Araki about the result.

Anyway, even if these ordinary soldiers don't ask, some 'super smart guy' who has already woken up will ask Araki about the outcome of the battle between Zaraki and Kuruyashiki, so they might as well hold back for now.

"Um……"

Araki looked at his rather well-behaved squad members and nodded in satisfaction. His own squad members were so obedient! They were definitely different from Zaraki's 'Eleventh Division'...

As Araki thought this, a slight smile appeared on his lips. Without waiting for the 'First Division' members, who were kneeling before him with unwavering loyalty and respect, to say anything more, he returned alone to his captain's room.

"Click~"

As the door in front of Araki slowly opened, what came into Araki's view was a beautiful girl with her long purple hair styled into cute twin tails.

"Yo! Saito, you're awake?"

Araki looked at the girl in front of him and subconsciously reached out to greet her.

Yes, the beautiful young woman before me, with her exquisite features as if meticulously painted by a god, is none other than Saito, who is immortal. To be honest, when Saito doesn't speak, she is truly perfect.

Then, Saito spoke...

"Araki! Why didn't you call me when Zaraki and Kuruyashiki were dueling?"

"I'm so mad that I missed such an interesting battle!"

The moment Saito opened her mouth, her originally beautiful and dignified demeanor was completely ruined.

Saito is immortal; no wonder she's hailed by countless members of the 'Thirteenth Squad' as "my 'First Squad's' mute goddess." The moment she opens her mouth, she completely shatters the goddess aura she's cultivated. Before she speaks, ah, a goddess! After she speaks, where did this blond punk come from?! Give me back my goddess!

"What's the point of the battle between Zaraki and Kuruyashiki?"

Araki scoffed at Saito's words.

"Huh? Although I don't want to admit it, in terms of combat strength alone, Kuruyashiki and Zaraki are even above me! Even in the entire Seireitei, they should be considered among the top Shinigami in terms of strength among the Gotei 13, right? How could I not be aware of the battle between such experts!"

Saito retorted angrily after hearing Araki's words.

Although Saito was a hundred times unwilling to admit it, if someone asked her how Kuruyashiki and Zaraki's strength compared to hers, she would have to admit it!

Faced with this undeniable fact, Saito would still give the questioner an absolutely certain answer: "If we're talking about fighting strength alone, those two guys are already above me!"

Yes, Saito acknowledged Zaraki and Kuruyashiki's fighting prowess from the bottom of his heart...

Therefore, Saito was extremely curious about the outcome of the battle between Zaraki and Kuruyashiki.

"No matter how interesting their battle is, can it be more interesting than the battle between you and me?"

After hearing Saito's words, Araki gently lifted Saito's chin with his finger, looked at Saito with bright eyes, and asked.

"what?"

Saito was surprised by Araki's sudden boldness, and her face turned pink instantly.

"what do you mean?"

Saito looked at Araki with great embarrassment and asked him.

"Heh, you know perfectly well what I'm asking!"

As he spoke, Araki picked Saito up and carried him toward the back hall of the squad leader's room.

"Again?"

Saito suddenly understood something, and she looked at Araki with some panic, asking, "What's wrong?" She had only just regained consciousness; if she continued training, her delicate body might not be able to handle it!

"Then why don't you just forget about it? Actually, the two of us, Maozhi and I, are just right~"

Araki chuckled after hearing Saito's words.

"Are you kidding? Do you think I'd lose to her?"

Upon hearing Araki's words, Saito instantly flew into a rage, glaring at him as she spoke.

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, Araki, carrying Saito in his arms, strode into the back hall.

"Ara~"

In the back hall, Uno Retsu was wiping his Zanpakuto when Araki, who had driven back, revealed a smile.

"Looks like I won't need this knife anymore."

As he spoke, Uno Retsu sheathed his Zanpakuto, which he had been wiping clean and which gleamed with endless cold light.
