Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"If you want to find Captain Araki, there's no rush."

Just as Saito was about to push Shikato away, but Shikato's ample bosom, which swallowed her entire forearm, made it impossible for her to do anything...

At the same time, a slightly mocking voice rang out from Saito's right, and Saito felt his right arm being grabbed as well.

"Damn Qianri!"

Saito didn't need to turn around to know that the voice came from Shihouin Sennichi.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

"Well then, Captain Araki, Captain-Commander Yamamoto, we'll be off now~"

"You two take your time chatting~"

Before Saito could say anything, Shihouin Senri and Shikatori Hakunsai grabbed Saito's right arm and left arm respectively, and forcibly pulled Saito out of the First Division Captain's meeting room.

"pat~"

The conference room door slammed shut!

For a moment, only Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Araki, the two captains of the Thirteenth Division, remained in the huge conference room.

"So you want to ask about the 'successor'?"

Yamamoto Genryusai asked his disciple.

"Let's leave that aside for now..."

Araki shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

"oh?!"

Genryusai was taken aback by Araki's words. He had expected Araki to privately discuss with him the possibility of giving up the mantle of inheriting the Gotei 13 from him. If that were the case, he would probably have to teach his wayward disciple a lesson again today!

Yes, Genryusai isn't afraid of Araki's ambition; he's afraid of Araki living a life of mediocrity! If Araki has no ambition, that would truly be the death of him! Even if he goes to hell in the future, he won't have peace; he'll fight his way out of hell and then use his Ryujin Jakka to torture Araki mercilessly…

"Old man, have you ever heard of the Quincy?"

"Those guys who're always shooting arrows seem to be getting a bit restless lately, under the leadership of their Quincy 'Emperor'~"

Araki didn't bother beating around the bush with Genryusai and directly revealed the information he knew.

Regarding the relationship between Araki and Genryusai...

Araki didn't even need to fabricate any lies about where he got the information about the Quincy! Simply stating it directly and reminding Genryusai would suffice…

As Araki's master, Genryusai would not question the accuracy of Araki's information. In Genryusai's mind, whatever Araki said must have some truth to it!

This is the incredibly deep bond between Yuan Liuzhai and Araki, master and disciple!

"Oh? You mean the Quincy are getting restless?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Liuzhai's tiger-like eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

"Then kill them! Kill them until they behave! They're just Quincy, how dare they cause trouble in Seireitei?!"

The moment Yuan Liuzhai uttered the word "kill," the temperature in the entire conference room seemed to plummet by dozens of degrees! It was as if the tiny droplets and water molecules in the air within the room had frozen into ice...

Immediately afterward, the temperature soared! That was because of the spiritual pressure pouring out from Yuan Liuzhai's body. The spiritual pressure was so powerful that it seemed to have gained physical form, turning into raging flames that filled the conference room.

"Ha ha……"

Araki smiled slightly at this.

Yes, there's no need for him to worry too much about Yuan Liuzhai right now!

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni at the moment is like a tiger at the height of its power, capable of suppressing all enemies within the 'forest'!

This chapter is 4800 words long.

Chapter 26 The 'Cunning' Retsu Unohana

"If those Quincy continue to just guard their own little patch of land as before, we, the Gotei 13, will not bother with them for the time being!"

"If they overstep their bounds in any way, I will use this Ryujin Jakka in my hand to personally show them what the Gotei 13 are relying on to protect Soul Society and what they are relying on to 'guard' Seireitei..."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's eyes were piercing, and his entire body exuded a chilling spiritual pressure.

Even Araki, who had already become the captain of the Gotei 13 and defeated the former Kenpachi, Ueno, to obtain the name Kenpachi, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he felt the immense spiritual pressure emanating from Yamamoto Genryusai!

"I can rest assured that!"

Araki looked at Genryusai, who resembled a fierce tiger, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Even Araki, who was a captain of the Gotei 13 alongside Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, was terrified when he saw Genryusai reveal his claws!

If it were any of the other members of the Gotei 13, even a vice-captain level Shinigami, they would probably have been knocked unconscious by the immense spiritual pressure emanating from Yamamoto by now...

This is the strength of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13!

After Araki felt relieved, he briefly discussed the plan to deal with the Quincy with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni in the First Division's meeting room...

In fact, it was less of a plan and more of a warning!

Besides subtly revealing the Quincy's abilities to Yama-no-Taiba, the phrase Araki repeated most often to him was, "Better safe than sorry!"

Ultimately, Araki's repeated admonitions to the old man, "Be extremely careful when dealing with the Quincy, and if you get the chance to kill the Quincy leader, don't miss it; be decisive and go all out," were simply too numerous...

Araki was kicked out of the First Division barracks by the old man, who was known for his extremely volatile temper, decisive and ruthless actions, and believed in the principle of "when in doubt, do not hesitate, and fight if you are not convinced!"

Oh, right, along with Araki, his vice-captain Uno Retsu was also kicked out by the old man.

"That old rascal Yuan Liuzhai simply won't listen to any advice!"

"Alas... He who does not heed his disciple's advice will suffer the consequences! Old Man Yamamoto!"

Araki stood outside the First Division barracks, scratching his cheek helplessly.

Since Genryusai established the Gotei 13, Araki was the first to talk so much that the Captain-Commander, Yamamoto, could no longer tolerate him, and was ultimately expelled from the First Division's barracks by Yamamoto himself...

Moreover, Araki is probably not the first captain to be kicked out of the First Division barracks by Yamamoto for talking too much, and there probably won't be a successor! If nothing unexpected happens, Araki will become the only captain to be kicked out of the barracks by Yamamoto for talking too much!

In fact, apart from Araki, the captains of the Gotei 13 were so frightened by the fact that Captain-Commander Yamamoto had invited them that they didn't even bother to speak to him, let alone take the initiative to do so!

Even captains who hadn't received an 'invitation' from Captain-Commander Yamamoto still felt a deep-seated fear of the old man! Even if they just happened to be passing by the First Division's barracks, they would subconsciously quicken their pace, or even use Instant Step to move at high speed in front of the First Division's barracks!

For these team leaders, when passing by the old man's squad, they ran as fast as they could, for fear of being seen by Yuan Liuzhai and being scolded!

Araki, on the other hand, annoyed Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni...

To put it bluntly, since Araki took over as captain of the 11th Division, he has set a new record in Seireitei!

"So, Araki... Captain, what should we do next?!"

Uno Retsu had been closely following Araki. Now that they had been kicked out of the First Division's barracks by that old man, Yama-no-Toki, their next destination was up to Araki, the captain.

"Ugh……"

"Fine! Since this old man won't listen to reason, then, Lie, let's go back to the barracks!"

Araki sighed helplessly upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that he and Uno Retsu would end up being kicked out of the First Division barracks by the old man Yama...

Left with no other choice, Araki had to take his vice-captain, Uno Retsu, back to the barracks of the 11th Gotei 13, which he was in charge of.

After Araki returned to the barracks, he once again plunged into the Eleventh Division's captain's room, ignoring everyone else in the barracks!

At the same time, Araki issued an order that only he, as the captain, and Uno Retsu, as the vice-captain, were allowed to enter the captain's room of the entire 11th Division!

No one else is allowed to enter the Eleventh Division Captain's room, no matter what happens, and absolutely no one is allowed to disturb him! Even if you encounter him in the barracks, do not speak to him...

If any members have any questions about the 11th Division, they can directly ask Uno Retsu, the vice-captain of the 11th Division.

Unfortunately, Araki suffers from an incurable disease called '100% Inability to Communicate with Rough Guys'! Anyone afflicted with this condition will feel agitated and irritable when interacting with rough men, and when Araki becomes agitated, he wants to hit them.

Therefore, Araki didn't forbid the Eleventh Division members from communicating with him because he was lazy; he did it for the safety of the entire division! Araki was truly selfless in this respect! For the sake of all the members, he even chose to lead the way by having the entire Eleventh Division isolate him…

Therefore, although Araki is the nominal captain of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, the division is actually still controlled by Uno! As a result, the members of the 11th Division even have the illusion that their division's captain has not changed.

As for Araki's reason for doing this, it was simply that he was too lazy to engage in pointless socializing. In the Gotei 13, serving for decades was considered a veteran, and very few could retire smoothly! Befriending the original Gotei 13 captains was even less necessary; those people should focus on surviving to a thousand years in the future.

As for the ordinary members of the squad, let's see if they can survive Yhwach's invasion! Even if they do survive, their weak spiritual pressure and frail spirits will hardly allow them to live for a thousand years...

Araki is the kind of person who would develop feelings for even a cat or dog. He fears that after becoming familiar with the team members, a hundred years later, looking at the yellow earth returning to spiritual energy, he would only feel more sorrow.

Perhaps this is the tragedy of immortal beings! Death gods of the third rank or higher and those below the third rank are no longer in the same dimension…

And so, several months passed...

Finally, a 'guest' arrived at the Gotei 11 barracks in search of Araki.

And it was with this 'guest' searching for Araki that they arrived at the Eleventh Division's barracks! This reminded the Eleventh Division members that their captain had changed.

Outside the Eleventh Division's barracks, a tall figure stood silently! Without a doubt, this tall figure had come to find Araki!

The person searching for Araki had short, silver-gray hair and eyes that matched his hair color. He looked somewhat young and quite handsome...

Although the young man's looks were still slightly inferior to Araki's, he was definitely considered handsome among the 'oddballs' of the first Gotei 13!

Most importantly, compared to the Gotei 13, who were known for their ruthlessness and indiscriminate killing of embryos, this silver-haired man was incredibly polite, giving off the air of a British gentleman.

At this moment, the young man, dressed in a jet-black shihaka uniform over a white haori (a type of traditional Japanese clothing), exuding a gentlemanly air, stood before the gate of the Eleventh Division's barracks. Smiling, he addressed the guards, "Please, you two, go in and inform your Captain Araki! Tell him that the First Division's Vice-Captain, Sasakibe Jōjirō, has come to request an audience! I know your Captain Araki doesn't usually see many people! But if you mention my name, he'll most likely grant me a meeting..."

Yes, this young man, with his somewhat 'gentlemanly' demeanor and 'polite' manners, is none other than the most loyal follower of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13! He is none other than Sasakibe Nagajiro, the Vice-Captain of the First Division…

At the same time, he is one of only two vice-captains in the Gotei 13 who are allowed to wear a white haori!

In terms of strength, Chojiro Sasaki is undoubtedly a captain-level player!

His Zanpakuto, 'Huanghuang Yanling Ligong', is of exceptionally high quality! It is an extremely rare Zanpakuto in Soul Society that can directly influence the weather...

Incidentally, among the current Gotei 13, besides Chojiro Sasakibe, the only vice-captain allowed to wear a white haori is Uno Retsu, which is considered a special permission granted by Captain-Commander Yamamoto...

"Huh? Captain Araki?! That's strange, why does that name sound so familiar?"

"Oh right! I remember now, our Eleventh Division captain's name is Araki, isn't it..."

The eleventh division's goalkeeper was taken aback after hearing Chojiro's words, and then muttered to himself.

"What's wrong with this...?"

Chojiro Sasaki was taken aback after hearing what the two Eleventh Division members in front of him said.

"I'm sorry, Vice-Captain of the Sparrow Division! Our Eleventh Division has always been managed by Captain Uno!"

"As for Captain Araki, whom you are looking for, we are not sure if he is in the barracks! Therefore, please allow us to go to the barracks to report your situation to Captain Uno and then inquire about Captain Araki..."
