Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Shh!"

Holding his bow in one hand, Ishida unleashed a single Sacred Arrow, instantly annihilating the overconfident Hollow. He then looked at Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki, coldly declaring, "First one! I'm in the lead now. Ichigo, open your eyes wide and watch closely as I, a Quincy, fight..."

"You crazy person!"

"Ichigo doesn't have time to linger, come with me!"

"Karakura Town is now surrounded by Hollows. These Hollows will cruelly devour all the 'wholes' that linger in Karakura Town. Once the whole bodies are devoured, they will turn their attention to humans whose spiritual power is naturally superior to that of ordinary people. Kurosaki Ichigo, do you understand what I'm saying? Your family is in great danger right now."

Rukia Kuchiki first angrily cursed Uryu Ishida, then spoke in a deep voice to Ichigo Kurosaki.

"My family is in danger?!"

After hearing Rukia's words, Ichigo Kurosaki's expression changed drastically.

"Damn it! Now is not the time to stay here. I have to go save Youzi, Xia Li, and Mother!"

When Ichigo Kurosaki learned from Rukia that his family might be in danger, his eyes immediately turned bloodshot. At this moment, he was extremely worried about the safety of his mother and sisters, but he didn't care much about his old father.

Kurosaki Isshin: "Six! My eldest son is so filial!"

However, just as Ichigo Kurosaki was about to leave, one Hollow after another appeared around Ichigo and Rukia, surrounding Ichigo.

"Damn it! Damn it..."

Kurosaki Ichigo cursed angrily. There were too many Hollows surrounding him, and he clearly wouldn't be able to escape anytime soon.

"There's no other way! We have to eliminate all the Void here first..."

Kurosaki Ichigo cursed and charged towards the Hollows, brandishing his broad Zanpakuto. Although the power between Yhwach and Araki within him prevented him from fully unleashing his true Shinigami power, the power he was currently using was only a small portion of the power sealed within him and Kuchiki Rukia. Nevertheless, it was enough for him to deal with these weak Hollows. No matter how large the Hollow was, they were all easily defeated by Kurosaki Ichigo's sword.

"So strong!"

On the other side, Ishida Uryu, standing on the overpass, had beads of sweat constantly dripping from his forehead. He kept drawing his bow, firing one Sacred Arrow after another. Each Sacred Arrow was enough to kill a powerful Hollow. However, despite this, Ishida could not kill as many Hollows as Ichigo, which made Ishida feel wave after wave of pressure.

"That's strange, the density of this void seems a bit off!"

"Can my bait really attract so many Void creatures?"

"I have a feeling like I've fallen into someone's trap..."

At the same time, Ishida Uryu gradually sensed something was amiss. The Hollows that kept appearing in front of him and Kurosaki Ichigo seemed rather strange. This wasn't the first time he'd used this bait, but none of them had ever attracted as many Hollows as the bait he was using today…

Meanwhile, in the 'Soul Society'.

In a laboratory in 'Soul Town'.

"I see. After all, Ichigo Kurosaki is a member of the Shiba family. Even though he hasn't received any formal education and doesn't even use his own Zanpakuto, he can still display the fighting prowess of a high-ranking officer in the Gotei 13?!"

"It seems these ordinary Hollows are nothing to Ichigo Kurosaki. No matter how many more weaklings come, they won't pose any threat to him! It seems it's time for me to give Ichigo some more 'spice' for his growth~"

Aizen sat in his office, watching quietly through the screen in front of him as Kurosaki Ichigo effortlessly defeated dozens of ordinary Hollows.

"Tosen, come here for a second~"

Thinking of this, Aizen called out to someone behind him.

"Lord Aizen, what are your orders?!"

Upon hearing this, Tosen immediately moved closer to Aizen and asked.

"Dispatch a Killian to Karakura Town in the 'real world'!"

"It's time to put some pressure on Shiba Isshin's son!"

Aizen spoke calmly to Tosen behind him.

"Lord Aizen, if we send a Hollow like Killian to the 'Human World,' the 'Technology Development Bureau' will definitely discover it. At that time, they will probably not only be concerned about the Hollows, but also discover that Kuchiki Rukia has passed on the power of the Shinigami to humans. In that case, Kurosaki Ichigo, who has also obtained Rukia's power, will also be under the watchful eye of the 'Gotei 13.' Wouldn't your plan and experimental subjects be exposed to Captain-Commander Araki's eyes then?!"

After hearing Aizen's words, Tosen frowned deeply and spoke anxiously.

It seems that Tosen is even more afraid than Aizen that Aizen's plan will fall apart.

"When did you, Tosen, come up with the idea that the Gotei 13 would discover that Rukia Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki weren't part of my plan?!"

"On the contrary, letting the Gotei 13 know about Rukia and Ichigo is exactly what I planned! Our preparations are almost complete, and we've collected all the data we needed. Next, we need to seize the remaining half of the Hogyoku from Kisuke Urahara and return to Hueco Mundo to prepare for our final showdown with Captain Araki."

"In order for our plan to proceed smoothly, Tosen, don't you think we need someone in plain sight who can draw enough fire for us?! This target, who can help us draw fire and prevent the Gotei 13 from paying attention to our actions, is none other than Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki! The two noble families of Shiba and Kuchiki are enough to give the entire Soul Society a headache~"

Aizen Sousuke sat in his seat and spoke calmly to Tosen Kaname.

"I see! I understand now..."

After hearing Aizen Sousuke's words, Tosen Kaname suddenly realized the truth.

He realized once again that the gap between him and Aizen was truly enormous...

Although Tosen was loyal to Araki, he genuinely admired Aizen, and respected his skill in manipulating the entire Gotei 13.

"Then let's wait and see!"

"Ichigo Kurosaki, I hope you won't disappoint me~"

Aizen sat casually in his seat, his eyes behind his glasses seemingly radiating endless light, as he calculated everyone in this world with equanimity.

As for those who weren't targeted by Aizen, in his eyes they weren't even human; they were merely ants he ignored.

"However, Masaki Kurosaki and Kisuke Urahara are in a bit of trouble~"

"Hopefully they'll be sensible enough not to cause trouble for my plans."

Aizen then muttered to himself.

'The present world'.

"Damn it, I can't free my hands at all!"

"Rukia, please help me think of a solution!"

After slaying more than a dozen Hollows, Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the ever-growing number of Hollows around him, his forehead beaded with cold sweat. In desperation, he could only turn to Rukia behind him and ask for her help.

"Hado no Shiro-rai!"

Rukia, who had recovered some of her spiritual pressure, was constantly using Kido to fight against the Hollows around her. Clearly, she didn't have any good solutions for the increasing number of Hollows.

"Tsk! What are we going to do now?!"

"Damn it, I'm so worried about Youzi and the others!"

As Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Rukia, who was also trapped, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"Ring ring~" Just as Ichigo Kurosaki was at a loss for what to do, Rukia's cell phone suddenly rang. Seeing this, Rukia used Kido with one hand and answered the call with the other: "Hello? This is Rukia Kuchiki!"

"Rukia, it's me, Inoue Orihime. I've gone to Kurosaki's house as you instructed. Please tell Kurosaki that he can safely go and eliminate these Hollows gathering towards Karakura Town! I will protect Kurosaki's family..."

As soon as Rukia answered the phone, Orihime Inoue's voice came through. Yes, within the past week, Rukia had learned of Inoue's special circumstances, knowing that Inoue possessed the ability of Fullbring...

Just now, after Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryu were both held back by the endless stream of Hollows, Rukia, seeing that the situation was not good and they needed support, immediately informed Inoue Orihime of the situation, hoping that Inoue Orihime could go to the Kurosaki mansion to help Ichigo protect Ichigo's family so that Ichigo could concentrate on fighting.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, Orihime Inoue told me to tell you that you don't need to worry about the safety of your family members. She will protect them all. So you can rest assured and go fight! You only have one task right now, which is to eliminate all the Hollows here, win this damned victory, and protect Karakura Town from the Hollows' invasion!"

After receiving Orihime Inoue's assurance, Rukia yelled at Ichigo.

"I see……"

Upon hearing this, Ichigo's eyes immediately lit up with a glint of light.

At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki's spiritual pressure continued to surge!

He not only wants to win and slap the arrogant Ishida Uryu in the face, but also to save Karakura Town and protect everything he cherishes! He is Kurosaki Ichigo, the one he protects!

the other side……

At this moment, Inoue Orihime had arrived near the Kurosaki residence.

Because the Kurosaki family's innate spiritual pressure far exceeds that of ordinary people, there are far more Hollows gathered here than in other places...

Faced with these ferocious Hollows, Orihime Inoue continuously manipulated her Fullbring, her Lone Heaven Shield seemingly free of charge, transforming into beams of golden light that slashed towards the Hollows near Inoue and the Kurosaki residence...

Unfortunately, no matter how strong Inoue's Lone Sky Shield was, she was still just one person, and soon she began to feel a headache coming on because of the Hollows that kept gathering around her.

"The giant's right arm!"

Just as Inoue was beginning to lose his strength, a tall figure suddenly appeared near Inoue and punched four or five Hollows, turning them into countless spiritual particles.

"Who are you? Chad Yasutora?"

Inoue Orihime's eyes lit up when she saw the newcomer.

"Inoue-san, it's been a long time..."

Chad nodded slightly to Inoue. Chad's personality was completely different from his appearance. Chad was an honest, kind, and incredibly gentle person.

"Are you here to help Ichigo Kurosaki too?"

Inoue asked Taiko.

"Yes! Ichigo Kurosaki is my friend."

Upon hearing this, Taihu nodded slightly. In fact, because of his physique and appearance, he had been bullied by the local thugs quite a bit. During this time, Taihu strictly adhered to the promise he made to his grandfather and Tokina, and did not retaliate against these thugs. However, this only made the thugs think he was afraid, and they began to escalate their bullying. At this critical moment, Kurosaki Ichigo appeared like a lamp in front of Taihu, helping him drive away all the thugs who were bullying him.

From that day on, Yasutora regarded Ichigo Kurosaki as his best friend!

"Great! With just the two of us here, everything will be fine~"

After hearing what Taiko said, Orihime excitedly recounted her story.

"No! There's something wrong here..."

However, compared to the optimistic Orihime, Taihu was not so optimistic about the current situation. Taihu frowned and shook his head at Orihime.

"What? What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Orihime looked at Taiko with confusion and asked.

"Inoue-kun, if I remember correctly, your ability isn't very offensive; it's more suited for support than combat, right?!"

Taiko asked Orihime.

"Yes, I'm really not good at fighting..."

Upon hearing this, Orihime nodded.

"While I excel at combat, it's only effective in one-on-one situations. Against too many enemies, my abilities become somewhat inadequate..."

After receiving Orihime's answer, Taiko said helplessly.

"And there are too many enemies here!"
