Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Hirako gave Luo Wu a perfunctory nod, then led Aizen toward the 'First Division's' headquarters.

"..."

As for Aizen, the vice-captain of Hirako, he didn't say a word from beginning to end. He listened silently to the captains' remarks, and while he was silent, he was designing his own plan in his mind.

"Captains, this way..."

After the captains entered the 'First Division' barracks, they saw a group of soldiers patrolling. Although the gate to the 'First Division' barracks was unattended to facilitate the Shinigami soldiers in notifying the Captain-Commander of any urgent matters, the interior still needed to be managed. After all, the 'First Division' barracks was too large, and logistics and cleaning required a considerable number of people.

After the captains of the 'Gotei 13' entered the 'First Division', in order to prevent these captains and soldiers from getting lost in the huge 'First Division', there would be personnel specifically responsible for leading these other squad members to Araki's 'Captain's Room', and they would wait quietly outside the 'Captain's Room'.

Before long, led by the members of the 'First Division', the captains finally arrived at the door of the 'First Division's' captain's room. Immediately after their arrival, a member specifically responsible for guarding the door hung plaques symbolizing the divisions these captains represented on the wall outside the captain's room and recorded the time of their arrival.

“'Third Division,' 'Fourth Division,' 'Fifth Division,' 'Seventh Division,' 'Ninth Division,' that's only five divisions here! 'Twelfth Division' is excluded for now because its captain isn't here. The captains of the other divisions haven't arrived yet, have they?”

Not long after Hirako and Luo Wu arrived outside the 'First Division' headquarters, Kensei Rokusha and Rojuro Touhashi arrived one after the other, as if they had planned it together.

Hirako naturally knew about the relationship between the 4th Division Captain Uno Retsu and Araki. He knew Uno Retsu and that he might have been in the 1st Division Captain's room last night. What he found speechless was that a meeting was about to start, yet only five captains had come.

Just as Hirako was speechless at the situation, the 'First Division' members responsible for hanging up the signs seemed to have received some news, and successively hung up the signs for 'Eighth Division' and 'Thirteenth Division' on the wall where the division captains had their attendance records.

"Sorry, sorry, it seems we're late..."

Immediately afterwards, Kyoraku Shunsui, wearing a straw hat, arrived together with Ukitake Jushiro.

"The band leader wasn't late this time, that's really an improvement!"

Upon seeing Kyoraku, Hirako smiled slightly and made a sarcastic remark.

"Nonsense, I'm always the first one there, I've never been late..."

Kyoraku, upon hearing this, stubbornly retorted.

"Heh, who was the person who was punished by Captain-Commander Araki last time, making him stand outside the 'First Division' barracks and guard the gate for a whole month?!"

Upon hearing Jing Le's words, Luo Wu immediately exposed Jing Le's true colors.

"a ha ha ha……"

After hearing Luo Wu's words, Jing Le was neither angry nor annoyed, but simply smiled.

"It was I who woke the band leader from his bed!"

At this moment, Lisa Yagimaru, who has a beautiful face and a voluptuous figure, suddenly gave a thumbs up and proudly addressed the captains present.

"It must have been really hard work for you to wake up Kyoraku, Lisa."

Upon hearing this, the captains cast pitying glances at Lisa. They were truly sorry to have such an unreasonable captain...

"It wasn't hard work, I kicked him off the bed!"

Upon hearing this, Lisa spoke smugly once again.

"It hurts a lot, okay?"

After hearing Lisa's words, Kyoraku rubbed his aching back, looking distressed.

"Kyoraku-senpai, Ukitake-senpai..."

At that moment, Aizen quietly walked up to Kyoraku and Ukitake and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Yo, Aizen, long time no see~"

After hearing Aizen's words, Kyoraku patted Aizen's shoulder familiarly.

"Junior Brother Aizen, it's been a long time!"

As for Ukitake, he was extremely polite, nodding to Aizen.

"Everyone's here~"

Just as several captains were chatting outside the door of the 'First Division' captain's room, the captains of the 'Second Division', Yoruichi Shihouin, the captain of the 'Sixth Division', Ginryu Kuchiki, and the captain of the 'Tenth Division', Isshin Shiba, the three captains who symbolize the current 'Five Great Noble Families', came to the 'First Division' barracks together.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? The captain of the 'Tenth Division' has changed too!"

"Seriously, in the last fifty years, the 3rd Division, 7th Division, and 9th Division have all changed their captains, and now it's the 10th Division's turn. Counting the promoted 12th Division captain, Hikifune, haven't we already replaced almost half of the captains of the Gotei 13? Is this really going to be a problem?"

Hirako was slightly heartbroken when he discovered that the captain of the 10th Division, whom he had been longing for, had changed from the busty, big-breasted Shiba Sawahiro to the seemingly frivolous Shiba Isshin.

To be honest, he had been heartbroken for a while since the transfer and promotion of the Gotei 13, when the cold and beautiful Soi Fon from the 3rd Division and Kiryu Hikifune from the 12th Division, who perfectly matched all his sexual fetishes, were processed. In the end, his last hope, Hiroshi Shiba, also left the position of captain, and suddenly the captain of the Gotei 13 became a monastery...

He said he wanted to be with all these men at every meeting! He, Hirako Shinji, loves women! Women! He wants to have meetings with pretty women, you bastard!

"The captain of the 'Third Division' was transferred to the 'Second Division,' the captains of the 'Seventh Division' and the 'Ninth Division' were both transferred to the 'First Division,' and the captain of the 'Twelfth Division' chose to be promoted. In short, everyone chose a bright future..."

Kyoraku stroked his chin and explained to Hirako.

"Where is Captain Zehong of the 'Tenth Division'? Where did she go?"

Ignoring the captains of the other squads, Hirako specifically inquired about the whereabouts of Shiba Sawahiro.

"Captain Zehong, I don't know about that..."

After hearing Hirako's words, Kyoraku shrugged helplessly.

"If you're asking about Zehong's cousin, she was called away by that kid Shitan a few months ago. He said it was a task assigned by the captain, and he couldn't handle it alone, so he needed a capable helper to complete it..."

Just as Kyoraku was also puzzled, Shiba Isshin, who looked exhausted, suddenly spoke up and explained to everyone present where Shiba Sawahiro had gone.

"The Shiba family is in complete chaos right now!"

"The former head of the family, that bastard Tenjun, after his eldest son graduated from the 'Spiritual Arts Academy,' seeing that there was a successor, he didn't care about his other children anymore. Without the permission of anyone in the family, he took it upon himself to use the Shiba family's private 'Interdimensional Gate' to travel around the 'real world'..."

"Sawa, who was supposed to take over from Tenjun who ran away and properly assume the role of head of the Shiba family, was summoned away by that bastard from the Tsunayo family under the guise of being the captain-commander. Now even I can't contact those two irresponsible scoundrels..."

"In the end, I was only supposed to be in charge of managing the branch family and just loaf around all day, but I was forced by Captain-Commander Araki to become the captain of the 'Tenth Division'. I really had a tough time..."

Shiba Ichishin kept complaining about his own mess to the group of captains in front of him.

Yes, Shiba Isshin, who is also the father of the original protagonist Kurosaki Ichigo, was forced to report to the 10th Division barracks ahead of schedule due to a series of butterfly effects caused by the plans of Tsuna, Yashiro, Tokinada, and others. He will stay in the 10th Division for several decades longer than in the original story.

"what……"

After hearing what Shiba Isshin said, Hirako fell completely silent.

"But speaking of which, there really aren't many captains who can stay in the Gotei 13 for hundreds of years. In terms of seniority, only I, Ukitake, Yoruichi, and Captain Ginrin have served the longest..."

After hearing Hirako's words, Kyoraku seemed to have thought of something and said with some emotion.

"Kyoraku, don't forget Mrs. Uno..."

After hearing Kyoraku's words, Ukitake immediately offered a reminder.

"Haha, how could I forget Mrs. Uno? She and my master are our great seniors in the Gotei 13..."

"However, we're talking about captains who are a hundred years old here. Our master's wife, on the other hand, should be considered a thousand-year-old, right? Hahahaha..."

Kyoraku thought of something amusing and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Click~"

Just as Kyoraku was laughing, the door to the 'First Division' captain's room was suddenly pushed open, and a stunningly beautiful woman with a smile peeked out...

"Oh my, Kyoraku, you look so happy today!"

"I could hear your laughter from inside your master's team leader's room!"

Did something funny happen to you today? Why don't you share it with us so we can all have a laugh?

The stunningly beautiful, aloof woman, after emerging from the 'First Squad' captain's room, immediately turned to Kyoraku, who was laughing loudly, and asked him with a smile.

"Forehead……"

For a moment, everyone present, including Kyoraku Shunsui, fell silent. Kyoraku Shunsui, in particular, couldn't manage a smile at all.

"Kyoraku, why aren't you smiling anymore?"

"Do you not smile because you're naturally not a smiley person?"

The aloof beauty watched Kyoraku's smile vanish in an instant and continued to ask.

"Forehead……"

Kyoraku was somewhat flustered at this moment, and sweat kept pouring down his forehead.

"It's over! It's over! It's over..."

"What I just said must have been heard by my master's wife, absolutely!"

"I'm afraid I'm going to die here now..."

Kyoraku was panicking. Just now, he seemed to have inadvertently provoked the most dangerous person in the Seireitei.

Yes, the cold and beautiful woman who walked out of the Araki Squad leader's room was none other than Retsu Uno! Just as everyone thought, Uno had been waiting for them in the 'First Division' leader's room since last night.

"Humph~"

Upon seeing Kyoraku's flustered state, Unoko simply snorted coldly. She then looked at the other captains present and said calmly, "Captain-Commander Araki wants you to come in..."

After Mao finished speaking, his figure entered the 'team leader's room'.

"Ha ha……"

After Mao left, the captains present felt a great sense of relief. Many of them patted Kyoraku's shoulder gently as they left, as a sign of respect.

"But my dear senior brother, you are the real traitor!"

Even Aizen, who is known for his rebellious nature since childhood, gave Kyoraku a thumbs-up of admiration after witnessing the scene before him.

Lisa, my condolences.

As for Jushiro Ukitake, he directly told Lisa Yagami that he could prepare a large sum of money for Kyoraku in advance, and that Kyoraku would probably be sent to guard the gates of 'Hell' by Captain-Commander Araki soon.

"No, Master and Mistress, please let me explain!"

After a brief silence, Kyoraku rushed into the 'First Division' headquarters, attempting to make amends for his previous mistake one last time.

"Oh, hasn't this meeting just begun?"

"Looks like I didn't miss it after all~"

After all the squad leaders present had entered Araki's squad leader's room, Zaraki, carrying his Zanpakuto, finally arrived at the 'First Squad' late...

Zaraki breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered that the captains of the other divisions had only just begun entering the captain's room of the 'First Division'. Luckily, he wasn't late, otherwise he would have been like Kyoraku, guarding the gate for the 'First Division'.

"Gentlemen, once you enter the meeting room, please stand to my left and right according to the distinction between even and odd numbers! The meeting of the captains of the 'Gotei 13' will begin immediately..."

After all the captains had entered the 'First Division' captain's room, Araki, leaning on his Zanpakuto, addressed the assembled captains with utmost seriousness.
