Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"boom!"

Before Yizhou could even process what was happening, accompanied by a burst of intense heat and a deafening roar, the 'Heavenly Pillar Chariot' shot towards the 'Spirit King's Palace' in the sky...

"Eh?!!"

The boat inside the 'Heavenly Pillar Carriage' then realized that it seemed they had been tricked.

Goodbye, Captain!

As for the members of the 12th Division, they immediately waved to the sky, bidding farewell to their most beloved Captain Kiryu Hikifune.

With Kiryuu's promotion, the position of captain of the 12th Division became vacant. Before Araki could even speak, his eldest disciple, Yoruichi Shihouin, came to him to discuss who should succeed him...

"Araki-sensei, you haven't found a suitable candidate for the position of captain of the 12th Division yet, have you?"

Yoruichi Shihouin went to the captain's room of the 'First Division' and asked Araki directly.

"No, what's wrong?!"

After hearing Yoruichi Shihouin's words, Araki asked a question he already knew the answer to.

"Teacher Araki, we have a great member in our 'Second Division,' and I think it's a shame to keep him here. Why don't we send him to the 'Twelfth Division' instead?"

"Of course, his strength is absolutely guaranteed. I've personally tested that. His slashing, punching, walking, demonic possession, and spiritual pressure are all at the captain level. Moreover, he has already mastered the Bankai of his Zanpakuto. I think there's no one more suitable than him to take over as the '12th Division'..."

At present, Yoruichi Shihouin seems to be patting herself on the back, constantly promoting her squad's outstanding members to Araki.

"Since you think he's suitable, then let's arrange for him to take the team leader assessment."

"By the way, don't think that just because you've spoken to me, I'll lower the standards for him. On the contrary, precisely because you've spoken to me, I'll actually raise the bar..."

Araki spoke deliberately to Yoruichi.

"Okay, okay! Don't worry, Araki-sensei~"

"It will definitely give you a surprise!"

Yoruichi responded somewhat perfunctorily after hearing Araki's words.

After Yoruichi received Araki's permission, she left the First Division's captain's room without looking back, which suddenly gave Araki a sense of déjà vu that "girls are useless now that they're grown up"...

For some reason, Araki suddenly wanted to chop that damned blond guy down with one blow.

Come to think of it, Shihouin Senhi probably wanted to chop that damn blond guy down even more than him!

Thankfully, the damn blond guy who tricked Yoruichi doesn't know how to ride a will-o'-the-wisp...

Otherwise, the Shihouin family will have plenty to worry about.

"Oh!"

Araki suddenly paused for a moment, realizing that Yoruichi's story with the blond-haired girl was quite similar to the effeminate laughter in "The Heiress of a Millennia-Old Family and Me, a Naturally Blonde Girl Who Loves Riding Ghost Fire"...

"Ha ha……"

Araki smiled slightly at this thought. He naturally knew who Yoruichi had recommended; besides that blond-haired Kisuke Urahara, there couldn't possibly be anyone else!

Araki sighed; time really flies, and in the blink of an eye, the time for the 'Hollowfication' event to begin had arrived! Although it seemed to be slightly later than in the original story, by about two years…

"Then, I hope you won't disappoint me, Aizen."

Araki had high hopes for Aizen.

Let his dear apprentice handle the task of teaching that damned blond-haired Urahara Kisuke a lesson.

The Fifth Division's barracks.

"Haha~"

Aizen gently pushed up his thick, non-prescription glasses perched on his nose, then chuckled and confidently stated, "The time is ripe. It's time to begin my plan."

"Dear Captain Hirako Shinko, I hope you can bring a little bit of fun to my peaceful life~"

Aizen, with his hands behind his back, looked towards the 5th Division's headquarters, where Hirako Shinji was yawning incessantly.

Coincidentally, Shinji Hirako also seems to be blond...

Fengqiao Lou Shilang also seems to be a blond-haired guy.

Fengqiao, Hirako, and Urahara are considered the three most blond-haired leaders among the 'Gotei 13'!

Speaking of which, the chosen one of destiny, Ichigo Kurosaki, also has orange-yellow hair, which is somewhat related to the color yellow. Even Ichigo Kurosaki's Hollowfication form is that of a minotaur...

Aizen Sousuke, a true 'pure love warrior' who loves no one but himself, is the mortal enemy of the blond-haired and minotaur warriors in the 'three realms'.

"Aqiu~"

Inside the team's headquarters, Shinji Hirako suddenly sneezed.

"It must be Aizen talking badly about me behind my back..."

Hirako Shinji concluded that any ominous premonition he felt was because Aizen Sousuke was cursing him behind his back. In any case, when in doubt, just pin the blame on Aizen!

Aizen: "None of you will be laughing for long..."

Chapter 160 Aizen: The actor is in place, for Araki-sensei

'Second Division' barracks.

"Ah, so tired, so tired~"

"Finally back at the 'Second Division' barracks, I can finally rest a bit. Come to think of it, how come I never noticed before that the distance between Araki-sensei's 'First Division' and our 'Second Division' is actually this far?!"

"Fortunately, I managed to get Urahara Kisuke's promotion sorted out! Araki-sensei is as easygoing as ever and didn't make things difficult for me! He even handed over the task of assessing Urahara to me. My teacher really knows how to care for people~ Speaking of which, helping my own squad members solve the captain assessment problem is quite a great achievement, isn't it?!"

After Yoruichi returned to her 'Second Division', she immediately became lazy. She first kicked off her cloth shoes, revealing her petite feet, then took off the captain's haori she was wearing and tossed it to Soi Fon who was waiting nearby. She then walked into the center of the captain's room, which was as luxurious as a palace, and sat on the throne prepared for her by the captains. Like a noble empress, she happily ate the limited-edition sweets that the Onmitsukido had lined up overnight at a confectionery shop to buy for her.

"Master Yoruichi must be really working hard~"

After listening to Yoruichi's rambling, Soi Fon simply smiled gently, then looked at Yoruichi with immense affection and continued speaking. It seemed that in Soi Fon's eyes, whatever Yoruichi said or did was right.

However, the girl following closely behind Soi Fon, who looked somewhat similar to the young Soi Fon and had a cute bob haircut, seemed completely unable to understand Yoruichi Shihouin's intentions. She frowned and walked up to Yoruichi on her own.

"Urahara? Yoruichi, are you perhaps referring to that Urahara Kisuke?!"

"Lord Yoruichi, if I may be so bold, I think you're giving Urahara Kisuke, that eccentric guy, far too much credit! The fact that you put him in charge of one of the five divisions of the 'Stealth Mobile Force,' a management team with immense power, already seems very problematic to me..."

"You know, the management team's job involves dealing with those heinous criminals imprisoned in the 'Maggot Nest.' With Kisuke Urahara's frail body, I don't think he can manage the villains in the Maggot Nest."

"Right now, you've nominated Urahara Kisuke, that guy who's always laughing and joking around, to be the captain of the 'Gotei 13.' I think that's incredibly irresponsible! Based on what I know of Urahara Kisuke, even if he passes the captain's test, he'll probably be late and leave early on his first day as captain, and then spend all his time in his research lab, ignoring everyone else. In other words, Urahara Kisuke has absolutely no sense of discipline; he definitely won't be able to do a good job as a squad captain..."

It was precisely while Yoruichi was sitting on the throne, quietly enjoying her delicious sweets and fragrant tea, that the girl who had been closely following Soi Fon arrived in front of Yoruichi and began to protest to her.

Although the girl's words were full of Urahara Kisuke's prejudice, upon closer examination, they were not without reason. After all, Urahara Kisuke often arrived late or left early when he was in the 'Second Division', always acting as if he didn't care about the rules.

"Forehead……"

After hearing the girl's words, Yoruichi looked somewhat troubled. In fact, there were some things that she, as a squad leader, simply couldn't explain to the girl before her. Some things she could only leave for the girl to find the answers to herself...

However, Yoruichi knew that the girl before her truly had no ill intentions; she was only acting in the best interests of the 'Skokujin' and the 'Gotei 13'. Thinking this, Yoruichi cast a pleading look at Soi Fon behind the girl…

Although there are some things that are inconvenient for her, as the captain, to say, it's perfectly fine to have Soi Fon, as the vice-captain, say them! Moreover, Soi Fon is not only higher in rank than the girl, but is also the girl's direct elder in terms of seniority, so Soi Fon's words are more convincing.

"Shoya, how dare you speak to Lord Yoruichi like that?!"

"How dare you question Lord Yoruichi's decision so easily?!"

"Don't forget what I told you before: Lord Yoruichi's decision is absolutely correct. We only need to hear it once..."

After receiving the signal from Yoruichi, Soi Fon immediately went to the side of the bob-haired girl and gently reprimanded her with a slight frown.

"Zu, grandma."

The girl named Koya immediately wilted after hearing Soi Fon's words. She lowered her head and dared not retort, clearly showing that she was genuinely afraid of Soi Fon.

"You kid..."

Soi Fon looked at the girl with her head down in front of her and sighed helplessly.

The girl standing before Soi Fon at this moment is named Hachiko Aya, the ninth generation successor of the Hachi family, and also the granddaughter of Soi Fon's (Hachiko Hiki) younger sister, the seventh generation successor of the Hachi family...

Yes, after Soi Fon was chosen by Araki and taken away from the 'Stealth Mobile', the Hachi family replaced Soi Fon's younger sister with her as the head of the Hachi family...

In other words, Soi Fon's younger sister inherited Soi Fon's identity and her original fate, becoming the head of the Soi Fon family. While managing the family, she also worked hard to expand the family line for its future.

At the same time, because Soi Fon enjoys the deep trust of the Shihouin family and Yoruichi Shihouin, and because of her seniority in the Gotei 13, she is also trusted by Araki...

Therefore, based on Soi Fon's strong personal martial prowess and combined with the growth of her sister's family, the Soi Fon family successfully transitioned from a lower-class noble family to a newly promoted upper-class noble family.

However, although the Bee family's treatment and resources have improved to a level far exceeding those of lower-ranking nobles in the past, geniuses are not so easy to come by!

With the entire eighth generation of the Hachi family wiped out, and none of them possessing the potential to succeed Soi Fon as a captain-level Shinigami in the Gotei 13...

Among the ninth generation of the Bee Clan, a promising talent named Bee Sho Aya finally emerged. Soi Fon was naturally delighted with her and immediately took her under her wing, as she couldn't bear to leave Sho Aya to the care of anyone else in the Bee Clan...

"It seems that Kotori really has a deep misunderstanding about Urahara~"

"Alright then, since Kotori is so worried about Urahara, let's start today by having Kotori and Urahara act together."

"Speaking of which, Kisuke Urahara's squad leader assessment is scheduled for just one week from now. During this week, Urahara will still be a member of our 'Second Division'!"

"Let Urahara train Koya for a week. Once Urahara is promoted, I've decided to hand over the position of 'Third Squad' leader to Koya..."

"At the same time, I think that after their operation is over, Soi Fon will definitely improve her opinion of Kisuke Urahara~ It's a win-win situation~"

Yoruichi had witnessed everything between Soi Fon and Koya, the grandmother and granddaughter. After a moment's thought, she suddenly came up with a perfect solution.

"Huh? No way?"

After hearing Yoruichi's words, Aya's eyes widened in disbelief. To be honest, she began to doubt her ears. Had she heard correctly?

Yoruichi actually wanted her to work with that jerk Urahara for a few days? What a joke! She didn't want to work with that bastard Urahara, thought Aya, casting an almost pleading look at her grandmother. Right now, the only one who could save her from being tormented by the evil Urahara was her dear grandmother…

"Having Koya and Urahara act together is indeed a good idea!"

"Shoya is still too immature. Being with Urahara will allow him to help her grow up sooner..."

Soi Fon chuckled and agreed with Yoruichi's idea.

"Why are you like this, Grandmother..."

After hearing Soi Fon's words, Aya began to despair.

"You have to address each other by their titles within the squad!"

Soi Fon's expression changed slightly after hearing Koya's words, and she looked at Koya and scolded her.
