Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Plop! Plop! Plop..."

Ichigo felt as if the blood in his veins was about to boil, and his body surface was constantly flashing with patterns.

Unfortunately, Rukia was busy repairing the scene and had no time to see Ichigo Kurosaki, who had undergone a major change.

The inner world of Kurosaki Ichigo at this moment.

"I'm sorry, Ichigo!"

"I didn't mean to do that..."

"But you must understand, once I give you all of your power, you will never be able to extricate yourself from this battle..."

"If your connection with death becomes too deep, then in the near future, I'm afraid I will have to kill you with my own hands! That's something I absolutely don't want to see!"

“I want to protect you, that's unwavering in my heart! So please, stay away from this battle between Shinigami and Quincy that has lasted for a thousand years! Only in this way can you survive…”

A man wearing a black cloak and sunglasses looked at the sleeping Kurosaki Ichigo as if he were looking at his own child, and spoke with utmost tenderness.

"Suck……"

"Farewell to the sacred altar!"

The man first took a breath, then activated his ability towards Ichigo Kurosaki. The ability was called "Separate Altar," a power that Yhwach used to steal the power of others.

"Shh!"

The moment the man activated his power, deep within Ichigo's body, a monster with bull-like horns on its head, a white body covered in black markings, and spiritual pressure and power that was definitely at the level of a high-ranking Vastrock, or even above a Vastrock, was extracted from Ichigo's inner world by the man.

Yes, the power of men seems to surpass that of this Hollow!

"You are?!"

Xu still looked completely bewildered.

"Seal me!"

As the man spoke, without giving the Hollow a chance to speak, he sealed away the Great Hollow and the Shinigami power that Ichigo possessed, which was mixed with the Hollow power.

The man forged the Hollow and Shinigami powers within Ichigo's body into a glowing sword.

The knife lay there on the ground, quietly waiting for someone destined to pick it up...

"In that case, Ichigo should be safe."

The man muttered to himself, already considering what to do if Ichigo encountered danger or needed greater power. Perhaps he could temporarily lend Ichigo the Quincy's sword if he needed that power…

Thinking this way, the man seemed much calmer.

Immediately afterwards, the man walked toward the Shinigami power within Kurosaki Ichigo, which he had sealed away and which had transformed into a sword, and made a move to pick it up.

"Hey! What are you doing, Yhwach!"

However, just as the man's hand was about to touch the knife, his wrist was suddenly grabbed and pulled down. To the man's surprise, a man wearing the 'First Division' captain's haori stopped his hand from touching Kurosaki Ichigo's Shinigami power.

"Araki!"

The man who resembled Yhwach a thousand years ago roared at the man in front of him wearing the haori of the 'First Division' captain.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Yhwach!"

"I am just like you, merely a power that has branched off from my original self!"

“Strictly speaking, neither you nor I are now related to the original body; we are merely a part of this brat's power…”

In other words, you and I are one.

The man resembling Araki spoke with a smile to the man in front of him who resembled Yhwach.

"I never imagined that we would be fighting for a thousand years!"

"We ended up meeting like this..."

"That's really unpredictable!"

Yhwach, or rather the Quincy power within Ichigo, sighed helplessly after hearing Araki's words. It seemed that for the first time, he questioned the future he had foreseen.

"It seems that even Yhwach, a thousand years ago, could not have foreseen what is happening today. That's why I say there is no such thing as true omniscience and omnipotence in this world!"

Araki laughed after hearing about Yhwach's power.

"Say what you will! My decision will not change."

Yhwach's strength and attitude were resolute.

"Let's see what choice this kid makes then~"

Araki, speaking of his power, picked up the Hollow and Shinigami powers that Yhwach had sealed within Ichigo Kurosaki's body.

"Shh!"

The moment Araki gripped the blade formed from the power of death on the ground, a mask made of bone material appeared on his face.

"it is good……"

After hearing Araki's words, the Quincy power within Kurosaki narrowed his eyes slightly. After carefully considering it, he nodded vigorously.

"Let's wait and see!"

Araki spoke coldly to the Quincy power within Kurosaki's body in a hoarse, electronically-sounding voice.

the other side……

While Yhwach and Araki were vying for control of the power within Ichigo Kurosaki, Ichigo was also suffering, developing a high fever that reached as high as 40 degrees Celsius.

The powers of Yhwach and Araki within Ichigo Kurosaki's body are like two opposing immune systems, constantly battling within Ichigo, causing his levels to rise continuously.

The next day.

"I had a sweet dream!"

When Ichigo Kurosaki opened his eyes, he lazily stretched.

Ichigo had a dream yesterday. He dreamt of many bizarre and fantastical worlds. He dreamt of a little girl who claimed to be a Grim Reaper, a monster that should only appear in tokusatsu dramas, and he dreamt that he became a Grim Reaper and killed the monster with a single slash.

"What are you eating today?"

"Let's eat the meal we bought at the convenience store yesterday."

When Ichigo came downstairs, he was still talking to himself.

Ichigo stopped in his tracks when he saw the girl with short, jet-black hair like an onion, sitting around the restaurant table in his usual dining spot, wearing his pajamas, using his utensils, and eating the breakfast he had bought the night before.

"So, everything I dreamed about yesterday wasn't a dream?"

Ichigo's face was somewhat pale as he muttered to himself.

"Yo! Human boy, you're awake~"

"Ready to save the world?"

The onion-headed girl smiled gently at Ichigo, then began to speak to herself.

"Huh? Are you kidding me..."

Upon hearing this, Ichigo's eye twitched slightly.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that meeting the girl was a mistake. It seemed that the peaceful campus life he had been hoping for was about to pass by, or perhaps...

"I'm not joking! You have to take over my job!"

"Then it's time to set off, new Grim Reaper!"

As the girl spoke, a red glove appeared in her hand, which she immediately slapped towards Ichigo.

"Eh?!"

"what is that……"

Before Ichigo could think any further, his soul was shoved out of his body by the girl.

"This is?!"

When Ichigo's soul emerged from his body, he was completely stunned.

He found his body lying on the ground, while he floated in mid-air like a ghost. The only difference was that he seemed to be wearing a black kimono and carrying an enormous sword on his back.

"set off!"

Rukia didn't give Ichigo a chance to ask questions or explain. She took Ichigo on patrol. She had finally encountered such a powerful substitute fighter. It would be a waste not to make good use of him and eliminate all the Hollows in the city.

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

Despite Ichigo's constant wailing, he was still taken away by Rukia.

In response, Ichigo Kurosaki stated: "My name is Ichigo Kurosaki, I am male, fifteen years old, a high school student, and a trainee Shinigami!"

'Soul Society'.

"As I expected, Ichigo Kurosaki has obtained Rukia's Shinigami powers."

"Now, it's time to give Ichigo something special!"

"I hope Ichigo can grow up from this point on..."

Aizen Sousuke sat in front of a huge screen, watching Ichigo's performance, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. Ichigo's potential was even higher than he had thought.

Aizen Sousuke thought this was really good, because the stronger Ichigo became, the more proud he would feel of having created Ichigo.

"Ichigo Kurosaki has already obtained the power of a Shinigami?!"

"If that's the case, then Aizen should start making his move soon, right?"

Araki sat in the captain's room of the 'First Division' and spoke listlessly.

Araki seemed quite relaxed at that moment...

Yes, even though Araki already has two children, he still has a lot of free time.

It was also a year after Araki's eldest daughter, Araki Yachiru, was born that Saito, the immortal, also gave birth to a daughter for Araki, whom Araki named Undying.

After all, strictly speaking, Saito, being immortal, was the first person to help Araki awaken Fullbring, and Saito also made outstanding contributions to Araki's Fullbring training! In commemoration of this, Araki named his daughter with Saito "Unfading" (meaning "Eternal").

Not long after Araki's second daughter was born, Saito took her daughter, Araki Futaka, to the Spirit King Palace using the Heavenly Pillar Carriage. According to Saito, her strength had fallen far behind that of Uji, but her daughter with Araki would definitely surpass Araki and Uji's daughter. Therefore, Saito decided to give her daughter the best cultivation and growth environment in the entire Three Realms, which is the legendary Spirit King Palace.

As for Araki's eldest daughter, Yachiru, in the six years since her birth, she has become a complete tyrant of the Seireitei! She runs around causing trouble everywhere, either dueling with a squad leader or picking fights with the 46 Chambers. As for ordinary people, Yachiru is too lazy to bother with them. According to Yachiru, the strong throw punches at the stronger, so she only picks fights with the squad leaders and the sages and judges of the 46 Chambers.

This has led to polarized opinions about Yachiru within the Gotei 13. The captain and those outside the 46 Chambers believe that Yachiru, like her mother, is gentle and generous, and is the epitome of a well-bred lady!
