Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Captain, calm down! Captain, calm down!"

The moment Kensei made his punching motion, the officers of the 9th Division surrounding him immediately rushed to break up the fight. It seemed that for these officers, Kensei's act of being so angry at Kunan Shiro's words that he was about to take action was just a normal occurrence for them...

Meanwhile, for these members of the 9th Division, who are dressed in black shihaka uniforms and covered with white 'special attack suits' that are characteristic of the 9th Division, or more accurately, those characteristic of Kensei Muguruma, and who resemble street bikers, calming down their captain Kensei's anger is also one of their daily tasks.

"Don't stop me! I'm going to teach this brat a lesson today..."

Kensei Rokusha roared, but as is the rule that people who hit hard usually don't talk much. Kensei's shouting was just to intimidate Kunanbako. It was as if he was telling Kunanbako not to cause him any more trouble, or he would really get angry.

"Captain Kensei, please don't hold it against Vice-Captain Kunanbaek. She's still just a child. You must be magnanimous..."

"Captain Kensei is hurting himself by getting angry. Calm down, calm down..."

The officials around Kensei continued to persuade him, surrounding him and seemingly suppressing his anger.

"Roar!!"

However, at that moment, an angry roar suddenly rang in everyone's ears, followed by a chilling and ominous spiritual pressure. This caused everyone present to change their expressions and also put an end to their performance.

"I gonna go see……"

Kensei easily broke free from the restraints of the others, using his superb Shunpo (Flash Step) to run forward. Whether it was the roar or the spiritual pressure, Kensei would never mistake it—it was the enemy of the Shinigami—a Hollow!

"Get moving, get your body moving..."

On the other side, a giant Hollow, five meters tall and over ten meters long, was coldly looking at the several 'Yūkichi' teenagers in front of him with its incredibly mocking scarlet eyes. One of the teenagers, with a spiky hairstyle, looked at his companions beside him, constantly hoping that he could move, but his body seemed to be locked by the enemy's aura and simply wouldn't obey his commands. At this moment, he was completely terrified by the Hollow in front of him.

"roar~"

Just as the boy was urging his body to respond, the void began to move. It stretched out its tentacles, ignoring the spiky-haired boy who was closest to it, and instead began to grab at the soul that was furthest away from it.

"don't want!!"

As the ethereal tentacles were about to strike, the boys let out a piercing scream.

"roar~"

The screams of the spirits did not scare away the Void; instead, they made the Void look comfortable. It enjoyed listening to the trembling screams of its prey.

"bump!"

Just as the Void's tentacles were about to touch the boys, the boy with the spiky hair finally moved. He picked up the wooden stick in his hand and struck at the Void's tentacles.

"Roar!!"

It seemed that the Void had never expected these boys to resist. He subconsciously retracted his tentacles and glared angrily at the boy who was resisting him.

"You guys run! Leave this to me..."

The spiky-haired boy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had bitten his tongue to get moving, and the intense pain had instantly sobered him up. The first thing he did after regaining consciousness was to tell his companions to run away.

"But what will happen to you, Xiubing, if we all run away?"

Perhaps it is those who come from poor backgrounds but share hardships and do their best to make a living every day who value their companions the most. After Xiu Bing saved these teenagers with his actions, the teenagers did not want to abandon Xiu Bing who saved them.

"Idiot, hurry up and find the Grim Reaper on duty in the streets! If you leave us here, none of us will survive. If you run to the streets and find the Grim Reaper on duty, everyone will live..."

Upon hearing this, Xiu Bing roared at his companions.

"We understand..."

Xiubing's companions weren't stupid. They knew that staying would only become a burden to Xiubing, and a single misstep could lead to their annihilation. All they could do now was run as fast as they could and seek help from the Grim Reapers to defeat the Hollow that had invaded 'Wandering Soul Street'.

"call……"

After watching his companions all escape, Xiubing first breathed a sigh of relief, then calmly stood facing the void in front of him, holding his wooden stick.

"Roar!!"

The void seemed to be completely enraged by Xiu Bing's counterattack and the escape of Xiu Bing's companion. Its series of abdominal legs suddenly moved forward and charged towards Xiu Bing. Xiu Bing was caught off guard and was knocked away. The wooden stick in his hand also accidentally fell to the ground. However, before Xiu Bing could think any further, the void's tentacles had already trapped him and lifted him into the air.

"Haha, we're doomed this time..."

After Xiu Bing resisted for a while and found it futile, he showed a look of despair.

"Kid, I saw everything you did to protect your comrade! Well done, you've got guts. If you ever get the chance, you absolutely must go to the 'Spiritual Arts Academy' to study. I'll be waiting for you to report for duty in the 'Ninth Division'..."

Just as Xiu Bing was in despair, a reassuring and comforting voice suddenly rang in his ears, followed by a silver figure appearing before his eyes.

"Fade to ashes! Earth-Shattering Wind!!"

Just as Xiu Bing was at a loss, a gust of wind swept up, and the enormous void, which was much larger than an African elephant, was cut into countless pieces in a short moment.

"This is?!"

Just as Xiu Bing was puzzled, he felt his body being firmly grabbed. When he landed on the ground, he saw a number he remembered vividly: '69'.

"Hurry back to your companions!"

Before Xiubing could think further, the burly man who had saved him gently patted his shoulder and then offered some words of advice.

"I understand, thank you for saving me today!"

"I, Hisagi Shuhei, will definitely not let you down..."

Xiu Bing took a deep look at the man in front of him, then ran straight behind him. From this day forward, the man before him would become the object of Xiu Bing's lifelong pursuit and worship...

Although Shuhei himself did not expect that after he mastered his 'Bankai', he would be able to force a '50/50' match with the man in front of him, or even a being stronger than the man he admired.

"Hisagi Shuhei? An interesting brat..."

The silver-haired man, Kensei Muguruma, smiled slightly after hearing Shuhei's words. He had indeed remembered this amusing brat.

"team leader……"

Just then, the officers of the 9th Division caught up. They jogged up to Kensei and, looking at the Hollow that had been slain in front of him, exclaimed in surprise, "As expected of Captain Kensei, he defeated this powerful Hollow so easily!"

"On another note, could the culprit behind this widely publicized incident of soul self-immolation be this very Hollow right in front of us?!"

An official looked at the enormous Void figure before him and asked in confusion.

"No! Although this Hollow is not weak, it doesn't seem to have the ability to unleash flames. I believe the source of the soul's self-immolation is not it..."

After listening to his subordinate's words, Quanxi shook his head slightly. His brows were furrowed, as if he believed that there was another culprit behind this incident.

"Kensei, look! I found a Shinigami suit..."

While Kensei was explaining to his subordinates, Kunanbaek, who had been observing his surroundings and liked to wander around, suddenly pulled out a complete set of Shinigami uniforms...

However, this was not what Kensei was concerned about. What he was concerned about was that the shinigami was still wearing a belt, in other words, it was not taken off by someone, because no one can take off a shinigami without untying the belt.

"Bai, where did you find this Death Knight outfit?"

Kensei walked up to Kunan Shiro and asked nervously.

"Here, here..."

"Look, there are a total of ten sets!"

As Jiu Nanbai spoke, he pulled out ten sets of Death Warrior outfits from the bushes.

"Damn it!"

Kensei looked at the Shinigami outfit in front of him, and his expression changed instantly. He suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Kensai, what's wrong with you?!"

This puzzled Jiu Nanbai.

"Things have gotten complicated. These Shinigami uniforms belong to our 'Ninth Division'..."

"Do you remember the ten team members I sent out last night to investigate before us?! I'm afraid they've already..."

As Kensei spoke, he clenched his fists. The deaths of his men were caused by his grave negligence as captain…

It's important to understand that the current Gotei 13 is different from before; the death rate of its members is shockingly low.

Even considering all sorts of accidents each year, the entire 'Thirteen Divisions' combined wouldn't exceed ten members, and today alone, a full ten have died.

"Oh, Kensei, you mean they took off their clothes and went swimming?!"

"Damn it, they didn't include me in this fun activity..."

After hearing what Kensei said, Jiu Nanbai angrily retorted.

"Idiot! Who can take off their shinigami without untying their belt?! And those shoelaces aren't undone either! You can't take the shoes off like that, can you?"

After hearing what Kunan said, Kensei remained silent.

"So, Captain, you mean..."

It was only then that Kensei's group of men belatedly realized what was happening.

"Without a doubt, this is an incident of a soul spontaneously combusting and disappearing..."

"Eishima, quickly report to the Gotei 13! This is the first time in history that a Shinigami's soul has spontaneously combusted and disappeared!"

"Get all the Gotei 13 ready. Now that this has happened to the Shinigami, the Seireitei is no longer safe."

"Heizo, go to the 12th Division and bring in researchers to examine the environment. I suspect it's caused by some kind of soul-devouring virus. Those so-called firelights are just phosphorescence that the residents saw at night, which they mistakenly identified as flames. I need them to collect samples from the surrounding environment and then conduct virus testing..."

"Toudou, you go back to the 9th Division right now and get the tents we usually use for camping in the wild. We'll stay here today, and I want to see what's causing this trouble! The Seireitei has only been peaceful for a few hundred years, and someone wants to break it. That despicable bastard! Whoever did this, I will stop their plans outside the walls of the Seireitei..."

Immediately and methodically, Quanxi gave instructions to his subordinates, and in a short time, he made the most reasonable judgment at this stage! He also mobilized all his subordinates and gave them all the tasks that they should do at this stage.

It can only be said that Kensei truly deserves to be the man promoted by Tokina. Apart from his own fighting ability being somewhat lacking, there is basically no problem with him. He possesses all the talents that a captain should have.

"As ordered!"

As soon as Quanxi finished speaking, everyone present began to move, and the atmosphere became increasingly serious. Everyone could clearly feel the extremely cold and murderous aura emanating from Quanxi.

"Captain Kensei, is there anything you need me to do?"

After all the officials had left, one of the officials wearing a mask looked at Kenshin and asked him a question.

"You? You can stay by my side then..."

After listening to the official's words, Quanxi thought for a moment and then gave his instructions.

"As ordered."

Upon hearing this, the official nodded slightly.

Time flew by, and by noon, all the officers Kensei had dispatched had returned to the Seireitei. As Kensei had instructed, Eishima went to the First Division to report the matter to the central command, Heizo went to the Twelfth Division to report the situation to Kisuke Urahara, and Toudou returned to the Ninth Division to retrieve the tent Kensei usually used for camping in the wild.

'First Team' barracks.

When Heizo reported this to the patrolling soldiers in the barracks, they immediately reported the news to Saito Immortal...
