Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Forehead……"

Araki broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what Uno Retsu said.

"Your knife is too dull. Try mine instead!"

As Araki spoke, he immediately entered battle mode. He casually tossed his haori aside, and his Zanpakuto instantly entered battle mode and emerged from its shell! It appeared in front of Uno and Saito.

"Looks like you didn't sneak any food~"

Looking at Araki's sharp Zanpakuto, Uo suddenly revealed a charming smile.

As for Saito, who is immortal, there is only fear in her eyes, controlled by Araki's Zanpakuto!

The second round of battle begins!

"Aha!"

In an instant, the back room of the 'First Division' captain's office was once again filled with the sounds of fierce fighting, heavy breathing, and countless glistening beads of sweat splashing onto the wooden floor.

Only the wooden floorboards in the back hall of the First Division's headquarters reveal just how hard Araki, the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, works in his daily life.

To be honest, each captain-general of the Gotei 13 has his own characteristics. For example, when Genryusai was the captain-general, he always sat in charge of the Gotei 13 with meticulousness and strictness.

For example, after Araki became the Captain-Commander, his daily work was to be a "superman," and he was a crazy "superman" every day, using all sorts of ways to be a "superman"!

It can only be the two captains of the 'Thirteenth Squad', Araki and Genryusai, each with their own hardships~

The next day, as dawn broke...

After Araki covered himself with the blankets, he left the captain's room alone.

Because the training Araki conducted in the team leader's room yesterday was so intense and difficult, he felt too embarrassed to disturb Uno Retsu and Saito after getting up today, so he had to leave alone.

Besides, it's not good for too many people to know what Araki is going to do next...

'Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy'.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

As the current head of the 'Spiritual Arts Academy', Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni got up very early, as always. As people get older, they start having trouble sleeping, and even Genryusai, the former captain of the 'Thirteenth Squad,' was no exception…

As soon as Yuan Liuzhai woke up, he quickly washed up, ate breakfast and dinner, changed into his usual training clothes, picked up the wooden sword from the dojo, and went to the training ground of the 'Spirit Arts Academy' to begin his morning practice...

As Yuan Liuzhai gripped his wooden sword, a deafening roar, like firecrackers, filled the sky, accompanied by the rustling of leaves in the wind. Frankly, the students who chose to stay at the 'Spiritual Arts Academy' never needed alarm clocks; they used the explosive sounds of Yuan Liuzhai slashing the air with his wooden sword during his morning practice as their alarm clock.

"Yo! Teacher Yuan Liuzhai~"

Just as Genryusai was training hard, Araki's voice suddenly rang in Genryusai's ears.

"Hmm? Araki, what are you doing at the 'Spiritual Arts Academy'?"

"Could it be that you suddenly miss your 'alma mater' and are planning to go back to 'Yuanzi Academy'...?"

"Oh, it's been renamed 'Spirit Arts Academy' now. Are you here to teach your juniors?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Genryusai immediately stopped what he was doing. He first took the towel hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then greeted the newcomer, Araki.

"Hehe, you're joking. My teaching skills are not even a tenth of yours, so I won't teach these new-age children, lest I mislead them."

Araki smiled modestly after hearing Genryusai's words.

"Hehe, when did you become so humble?"

Yuan Liuzhai was somewhat puzzled after hearing what Araki said. In his memory, there were few Araki as humble as he was now. When Araki was still in the Yuanzi Academy, he was arrogant and looked down on everyone.

"Just telling the truth..."

Araki shook his head. What he had just said was indeed the truth. He was not very good at teaching others; he was only good at teaching geniuses. In other words, nobodies and ordinary people were not worthy of his teaching.

After all, Araki's Spartan-style education is something most people can't handle. Even Kyoraku and others were practically half-dead from Araki's teachings before they finally survived.

"Alright, don't stand on ceremony with me. What brings you here today?"

After exchanging pleasantries with Araki for a while, Yuan Liuzhai suddenly became serious and looked at Araki coldly, asking him a question.

"Look at what you're saying! Do you think I didn't miss you and came all the way to the 'Spiritual Arts Academy' just to see you?!"

Araki replied with a smile after hearing Genryusai's words.

"Alright! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Tell me, what brings you here to see me?"

After hearing what Araki said, Genryusai felt slightly relieved. He looked at Araki and spoke earnestly.

"It's nothing really! I just wanted to ask you about someone."

Araki looked at Genryusai and asked with a smile.

"Who?"

Yuan Liuzhai asked calmly.

"Arturo Pratidó".

Araki didn't hesitate and directly told Genryusai about the life of the person he wanted to find out.

Why are you asking him?

After hearing what Araki said, Yuan Liuzhai's expression turned slightly serious, and he looked at Araki and asked.

"it works."

Araki answered honestly.

"That was a deeply sinful Hollow!"

Yuan Liuzhai stared intently at Araki's face for a while before answering.

"I know……"

Araki naturally knew of Arturo Pratidó.

Arturo Pratidoo, known as the "Immortal King," is the villainous boss in the games *Bleach: Rondo of the Blade* and *Bleach: Phantom of the Third Age*. He possesses formidable strength, nearly overwhelming ordinary Arrancars and the captains of the Gotei 13. He is also claimed to be the first Vasto Lorde-level Hollow to fight an Arrancar solo…

Because he was a boss in the official game, Araki had completely forgotten about him until he was browsing through the archives of the 'First Division' and accidentally discovered the name Arturo Pratidoo. Araki then remembered everything about him and decided to recruit him as one of the twelve divine generals under his command.

"Arturo Pratidoo has been sealed by me under the 'Central Forty-Six Chambers.' With your abilities, you should be able to break the seal easily. If you want to find him, then go ahead!"

"However, if he causes significant damage to the Soul Society after breaking free because of you, you'll have to find a way to clean up the mess yourself. I absolutely will not help you..."

After hearing Araki's words, Genryusai didn't bother to say anything more. He simply told Araki the location of Arturo Pratidoh. As for whether Arturo Pratidoh's unsealing would cause great damage to the Seireitei, Genryusai didn't even consider that. This wasn't the Seireitei of thousands of years ago, and he wasn't the Genryusai of thousands of years ago. With Arturo Pratidoh's current strength, he couldn't cause any trouble in this Seireitei.

"Haha, thank you for the advice, Teacher Yuan Liuzhai!"

“But Master Yuan Liuzhai, don’t you want to hear my reasons for seeking out Arturo Pratidoo?”

Araki first thanked Genryusai for his help, and then he tempted Genryusai.

"Don't tell me! I don't want to hear it..."

"I know nothing about anything you've done!"

"I was simply fulfilling my duty by answering the current captain's question."

"I know nothing about the rest..."

Upon hearing Araki's words, Yuan Liuzhai's expression changed drastically. Based on his understanding of Araki, he knew that if you didn't know those secrets about Araki, there would be absolutely no problem. But if you did know, it would be even worse. The more you knew, the deeper you would get into trouble, and in the end, you might even have to clean up Araki's mess and take the blame for everything.

"Haha, then this disciple will go ahead!"

Seeing the fear on Genryusai's face, Araki chuckled lightly, then used his Instant Step to disappear from Genryusai's sight. Araki had already gotten what he wanted from Genryusai; now, he needed to meet this legendary 'Immortal King'.

"Still the same clumsy and impulsive person as before! They haven't improved at all!"

Genryusai said angrily as he watched Araki turn and leave after getting some useful information out of him.

'Central 46 Room'

At this moment, a group of sages and judges were gathered together, discussing something with great anger.

"Has that bastard Araki returned from Hueco Mundo?"

A judge angrily questioned him.

"They're back now..."

As soon as the judge finished speaking, a wise man naturally answered.

"Now that he's returned from Hueco Mundo, why hasn't he come to Room 46 and returned the money he borrowed from us over a hundred years ago?!"

Upon hearing this, the judge roared angrily.

"Now that the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force has returned from Hueco Mundo, and Araki has visited Hueco Mundo several times, it's clear that Hueco Mundo is no longer a threat to our Soul Society. What is that bastard Araki waiting for? What reason does he have to hold onto our money and not return it to us?"

Before anyone else could speak, the judge continued his angry rant.

"Indeed! Indeed!"

"I think he just doesn't want to pay it back!"

"They're completely disregarding us..."

"Let alone a mere captain of the 'Thirteenth Team,' even if a king and five dukes were here, there would be no way they would borrow money from us wise men and judges and then refuse to pay it back!"

"That's right! I think he's forgotten who he is after becoming the captain!"

The sages and judges of the 'Forty-Six Chambers' roared in anger. They knew that Araki had stolen a full 100 billion from them! That was no small sum; even divided among the 'Forty-Six Chambers,' each person received 2 billion!

How could they not be anxious after having so much money stolen under the guise of borrowing?! Besides, that money wasn't theirs; it came from their families. Over the past hundred years, they had been constantly berated and humiliated by their families, who had left them with no sense of shame or dignity.

"The Gotei 13 led by Araki are simply a criminal gang!"

Finally, an old sage who had lived for five hundred years and had white hair even cursed out loud, angrily cursing Araki and the so-called 'Gotei 13' that Araki had reorganized after succeeding him.

"Click!~"

Just as the sages of the 'Forty-Six Chambers' were helpless against Araki, who commanded the 'Gotei 13,' and could only engage in verbal sparring, the secret door between the 'Forty-Six Chambers' and the 'Gotei 13' was pushed open...

Immediately afterwards, Araki, wearing the haori of the 'First Division' leader, swaggered in.

"Hey everyone! They're arguing right now?!"

As soon as Araki entered the hall of the 'Forty-Six Chambers', he greeted the sages and judges of the 'Forty-Six Chambers' who were cursing him with spittle flying everywhere with a smile.

"Araki, Araki?!"

When the members of the 'First Division' saw Araki clearly, their expressions changed drastically.
