Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"You can rest assured and leave it to me."

"My respected Captain-Commander Araki~"

After getting the answer he wanted from Araki, Mayuri Kurotsuchi chuckled softly. Although he could no longer create his adorable experimental subjects, playing with other people's experimental subjects seemed even more interesting.

However, capturing all those Soul Hunters would require a lot of his effort, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi simply didn't have that much extra time...

As Mayuri Kurotsuchi thought this, he looked at Kenpachi Zaraki beside him.

"Captain Araki, would you be so kind as to lend me Kenpachi Zaraki?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi turned to look at Araki and asked softly.

"can."

Araki simply nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"I demand that you resolve this matter completely within ten years."

Araki looked at Mayuri Kurotsuchi and said in a deep voice.

"You definitely won't be disappointed!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi bowed respectfully to Araki, making his assurances.

"very good."

After Araki finished speaking, he vanished from the spot with a Shunpo.

"So, my lovely experimental subjects, scattered throughout the mortal world for countless years, are you ready to come to my Mayuri Kurotsuchi laboratory?"

As Mayuri Kurotsuchi spoke, she began to manufacture instruments to hunt down the Soul Hunters that Lan Island had once created, using the corpses of these Soul Hunters she had created.

"In short, it's time to start fighting again, right?"

After listening to the conversation between Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Araki, Zaraki himself came to understand its meaning.

"No! This time I absolutely will not allow you, you stupid bastard, to destroy my lovely experimental subjects!"

After hearing Zaraki's words, Mayuri Kurotsuchi loudly warned him.

"Ha ha……"

On the other side, Araki stood in the sky, quietly watching Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Zaraki below.

In fact, yesterday's explosion was orchestrated by Araki himself, with the aim of leaving the 'Soul Hunt' matter to Mayuri Kurotsuchi...

To be honest, if Mayuri Kurotsuchi hadn't unearthed the information about Lan Island, Araki would have almost forgotten about the Soul Hunt. After all, that happened when Araki's teacher, Genryusai, was in charge of the Seireitei.

However, now that Araki already knows about this, he naturally can't let this damn Soul Hunter continue to exist in the 'real world'. The existence of the Soul Hunter will seriously disrupt the balance of the spiritual particles in the 'three realms'. But Araki is too lazy to deal with this matter himself, so he leaves it to Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

However, at this moment, Mayuri Kurotsuchi was unaware that he was being used by Araki, or rather, Mayuri Kurotsuchi simply did not care whether he was being used by Araki or not. He only hoped that he could complete his experiment as soon as possible and make that damned Kisuke Urahara look at him differently.

"Just you wait! That wretched Kisuke Urahara, that arrogant woman Shutara Senjumaru, and Kiryu Hikifune who replaced me as the director of the 'Technology Development Bureau,' you three just wait! I'll show you with my strength that I'm the best one in the 'Technology Development Bureau'..."

Yes, even Araki didn't know that Mayuri Kurotsuchi's anger wasn't limited to Kisuke Urahara. He hated everyone who had achieved in technology that he hadn't.

"Then what happens next..."

As Araki spoke, he flashed and arrived in the 'Street of Wanderers'.

Araki arrived at the 78th district of South Rukongai, 'Ino-dori'.

This is the first place Hisa Kuchiki arrived in after dying in the 'Human World', which can be considered Hisa's birthplace in the 'Soul World'.

"let me find it……"

Araki began his search throughout the Ghost Street.

Araki wandered through the Ghost Street quickly, and before long he found a petite girl who looked eight parts like Kuchiki Hisa and had the same onion-shaped hairstyle. This girl was Hisa's younger sister, and also the mentor of the chosen one Kurosaki Ichigo, and the future adopted sister of Kuchiki Byakuya, Kuchiki Rukia.

"you are?"

When Araki found Rukia, Rukia seemed to have noticed Araki as well.

"Ha ha……"

Araki didn't say much, but simply held up one finger to Rukia.

Instantly, a dazzling, azure light flew from Araki's fingers and merged into Rukia Kuchiki's body.

"Um?!"

Rukia was stunned for a moment, then felt a warm sensation all over her body.

"Excuse me……"

Rukia looked up and gazed in Araki's direction.

But when Rukia looked up, there was nothing in front of her.

"Boss, we've stolen the water! We can retreat now..."

As Rukia was puzzled, a shout suddenly came from behind her. The person who called her was a young brother and sister.

"I am coming……"

Rukia couldn't care less about Araki at that moment and immediately rushed towards the siblings.

"You wretched brats, don't let me catch you!"

Behind the siblings was a middle-aged man who had lost his water. He was now furiously waving a paddle, hoping to catch the siblings who had stolen the water and teach them a lesson.

"Look at me..."

Seeing this, Rukia leaped high into the air and delivered a Rukia Flying Kick to the middle-aged man.

"what!"

The middle-aged man was caught off guard and kicked away by Rukia.

"Huh? Am I really that strong?"

Rukia stared in surprise at the middle-aged man she had kicked away.

She then picked up the two young siblings and the water they had stolen, and ran away into the distance.

"As expected, Rukia is the strongest!"

During their escape, the siblings kept praising Rukia's cool appearance, while Rukia was preoccupied with her encounter with Araki.

Rukia wondered if it was just her imagination, but she found that she had somehow forgotten what Araki actually looked like...

"That's really strange..."

Rukia murmured to herself.

Meanwhile, after Byakuya Kuchiki's wedding ended.

Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tōsen—these three captains, who to outsiders would undoubtedly appear to be at odds—were actually gathered together openly and honestly. The strange thing was, apart from Aizen and the others, no one seemed to be able to find any trace of them…

Aizen smiled faintly at this: "This gadget that Kisuke Urahara invented to eliminate spiritual pressure is truly amazing~"

"Then let's head to Hueco Mundo! I will use the Hogyoku to transform it into our own world..."

Aizen smiled at Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen.

"Yes, sir Aizen!"

After hearing Aizen's words, Tosen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin exchanged a smile.

"Go, Aizen! Remember to properly strengthen my 'Hueco Mundo'!"

Araki laughed at this as well.

Araki had been anticipating Aizen using the Hogyoku to strengthen his 'Hollow Hollow' for a long time...

Of course, while Aizen was working hard to create Hueco Mundo for Araki, Araki was not idle either. He approached Unoretsu and began a long-awaited swordsmanship training session.

Because Araki has been busy training Gin Ichimaru for the past fifty years, his swordsmanship training has become somewhat rusty...

"Araki, are you ready~"

"Izumi no Retsu asked Araki playfully."

"Who do you think I am?"

After hearing what Uno Retsu said, Araki spoke with great momentum.

"Then let me see your strength!"

Upon hearing this, Unoriretsu lightly licked the corner of her mouth. After so many years, she had almost forgotten the taste of Araki's swordsmanship. Thinking this, Unoriretsu used the Watermelon Push on Araki.

"boom!!"

For a moment, the headquarters of the 'First Division' was filled with Araki's immense spiritual pressure.

The other side is a 'virtual circle'.

Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tosen arrived in this desolate world in no time.

"This time is different from the past; I will completely conquer you..."

Aizen looked at the vast expanse of white sand before him, shrouded in endless darkness, and smiled with unwavering confidence.

"Oh, Captain Aizen, so this is 'Hueco Mundo'?"

"What a desolate world!"

"I didn't see any other substance besides white sand."

"Is there really a helper here that we need?"

Gin Ichimaru covered his brow bone with his hand, making a gazing-out gesture, and said with a grin.

"Of course, Yin, you mustn't underestimate this place..."

"There are many monsters here whose strength surpasses yours~"

Aizen smiled and spoke after hearing Gin's words.

"Gin Ichimaru, don't let your guard down!"

Tosen Kaname also reminded Ichimaru Gin.

"I know, I know~"

Upon hearing this, Gin Ichimaru, seemingly perfunctorily, addressed Aizen and Kaname Tosen.
