Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

As Taihu spoke, he looked up at the sky.

"Roar!!"

One, two, three...

Dozens, even hundreds, of Hollows emerged from one black cavity after another. Although none of these Hollows were Grand Hollows, but rather just ordinary, low-level Hollows, their sheer number was overwhelming. This number of Hollows would be a headache and leave even the high-ranking officers of the Gotei 13 bewildered, let alone Chad and Orihime Inoue...

"We're doomed!"

Looking at the sky full of Hollows, Taihu gave Inoue a helpless smile.

As for protecting himself, Taihu believed he could manage, but there were too many, too many real and unreal, and he didn't know if he could protect Ichigo Kurosaki's family.

"Let's give it our all!"

Orihime Inoue also saw the sky full of Hollows. She took a deep breath and prepared to fight them to the death. Since she had promised Ichigo Kurosaki, she was determined to do everything she had promised!

"That's all it can do!"

As Taihu spoke, he too was prepared to fight to the death.

"Click~"

Just as Inoue and Yasutora were ready to fight to the last second.

Suddenly, the door to the Kurosaki residence was pushed open, and Kurosaki Ichigo's mother, Kurosaki Masaki, walked out with a smile, greeting Yasutora and Inoue, "You must be Kurosaki Ichigo's classmates?! Please come in and have a seat!"

"Auntie! Go back inside! Go back inside quickly, it's dangerous here..."

When Inoue and Yasutora saw Masaki walk out of the house, they immediately panicked and tried to persuade her.

"Roar!!"

However, it seemed that it was too late. In the instant that Inoue and Yasutora were distracted, the Hollow in the sky had already landed in front of Kurosaki Masaki and opened its blood-red maw...

"Oops!"

At that moment, both Inoue and Yasutora widened their eyes and felt a sudden panic.

Inoue couldn't bear it any longer and closed her eyes, tears welling up in them.

"Ara~"

"It seems quite a few pests have been attracted by the bait."

However, something unexpected happened. Masaki Kurosaki faced the Hollow in front of her without any fear. Instead, she drew a bow made of spirit particles with her bare hands and aimed it at the Hollow's head.

"Roar?!"

For a moment, everyone, including the Hollows around them, Inoue Orihime, and Chad, paused upon seeing Kurosaki Masaki's actions.

"call out!"

Unfortunately, Masaki Kurosaki did not stop her actions. She simply pulled the Spirit Bow in her hand, and a Holy Annihilation Arrow shot out from the bow, piercing through the Hollow's head and completely destroying it!

"I haven't exercised in a long time, and my skills have become a bit rusty..."

After killing the foolish Hollow, Masaki Kurosaki did not stop. She used her spirit bow to target the Hollows that kept appearing in the sky.

Years later, Masaki Kurosaki once again drew her bow and arrow. This time, her reason for drawing the bow was to protect her family from the Hollows.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…”

Masaki held the spirit bow and gently pulled it...

One after another, the Sacred Annihilation Arrows, like shooting stars, were fired from the Spirit Bow in Masaki's hand, instantly wiping out the hundreds of Hollows that had been attracted to Ishida Uryu's bait in the sky.

Both being Quincy, Masaki's Sacred Arrow and Ishida Uryu's Sacred Arrow are like two completely different things. In terms of speed, power, and quantity, Masaki completely overwhelms Ishida Uryu in every aspect.

Compared to a pure-blooded Quincy like Kurosaki Masaki, who could kill Aizen's experimental subject Hollow White, Ishida Uryu's level of Quincy cannot be called a Quincy at all. At most, he is just an apprentice archer, nothing more.

"Whoo~"

"It's finally over~"

After Kurosaki Masaki cleared the void from the sky, she gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and gave Inoue and Yasutora a warm smile.

"So powerful~"

At this moment, both Inoue and Yasutora were astonished by Masaki's strength.

Anyway, come on in~

Masaki put away her spirit bow and waved to Inoue and Yasutora, signaling them to come and rest at the Kurosaki residence.

"it is good!"

"Sorry to bother you~"

Inoue and Yasutora did not refuse, and so they entered Kurosaki Ichigo's house and sat properly on the sofa in the living room.

"Um, please have some juice~"

Masaki first served Inoue and Yasutora delicious juice, then seemed to remember something and smiled at them, saying, "There's something I want to ask you. Please don't tell Kurosaki Ichigo about what happened today."

"Some things are too complicated. I'm not ready to confront Ichigo Kurosaki yet! Letting him know too much now would only put pressure on that kid."

Masaki's eyes held a hint of helplessness.

"Thank you for the drink, Auntie..."

Inoue and Yasutora first thanked Masaki for the juice she brought.

"We know, of course we know!"

Immediately after hearing Masaki's request, the two nodded in agreement.

"Very good~"

Masaki nodded in satisfaction after getting the answer she wanted.

"You are such good children~"

As Masaki spoke, she gently patted the heads of Inoue Orihime and Chad Yasutora.

the other side……

The main battlefield where Ichigo Kurosaki and Uryu Ishida are located.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, Orihime just sent a message saying that Chad also went to help, and your parents and sisters are all fine."

After receiving Orihime's message, Rukia Kuchiki immediately informed Ichigo Kurosaki so that he could rest assured.

"I understand, Rukia. Please tell Orihime and Yasutora that I appreciate their help. Also, when I get back, I'll treat them to milk tea sometime..."

At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki looked disheveled and spoke breathlessly to Rukia.

As for the area around Ichigo Kurosaki, it was filled with the corpses of Hollows that Ichigo Kurosaki had killed, many of them missing limbs. There were more than a hundred corpses scattered around.

"Huh, huh..."

"One hundred and thirty-seven! I'm still in the lead!"

Not far from Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryu Ishida wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke to Ichigo while panting heavily.

"Idiot, now is not the time to decide who wins!"

"Just how many Hollows can your bait summon?"

Kurosaki Ichigo complained to Ishida Uryu.

"I don't know! I don't know either..."

"This is my responsibility. In my original plan, my bait was only to summon a maximum of fifty or sixty Hollows! Under extraordinary circumstances, it would be a maximum of one hundred..."

"But this is clearly beyond my expectations. I even suspect that there might be something wrong with my bait. Otherwise, how could it have summoned Hollows from faraway Hueco Mundo to Karakura Town in the real world? It's too strange, too abnormal!"

Yulong murmured to himself, subconsciously feeling that someone had tampered with his bait.

"Now is not the time to consider whether your bait has caused any problems, nor is it the time to determine whose responsibility it is..."

"The most important thing right now, there's only one thing! That's how to deal with these constantly appearing Hollows! That's what we should be thinking about. Anyway, there's no other way, let's join forces for now, Ishida Uryu! We can talk about the outcome later, solving the immediate problem is the key!"

After receiving news that his family was safe, Kurosaki Ichigo carried his enormous Zanpakuto to Ishida Uryu's side, his brow furrowed, and muttered something.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, you bastard..." Ishida Uryu was taken aback for a moment after hearing Kurosaki Ichigo's words, then nodded. "Let's do as you say! You and I will join forces to fight the enemy!"

"it is good!"

As he spoke, Kurosaki Ichigo shouldered his greatsword and charged forward.

"Leave the massive Hollows to me. As for the ones you can kill instantly, that's your job to clean up! Everything is about saving time; a quick victory is essential..."

Kurosaki Ichigo's Zanpakuto gleamed with a silvery light. His figure moved like lightning, constantly traversing the streets. With each swing of his sword, he could sever the massive bodies of those overconfident Hollows.

"You don't need to tell me..."

After hearing what Ichigo Kurosaki said, Yulong's expression changed repeatedly.

In the end, Uryu only gave Kurosaki Ichigo a haughty retort before drawing his bow and arrow and firing one arrow after another.

"Swish! Swish! Swish..."

With each whooshing sound, one Hollow after another perished in front of Ichigo Kurosaki.

"call……"

This gave Ichigo Kurosaki a chance to catch his breath.

"Uryū, thank you so much~"

Before continuing the battle, Ichigo Kurosaki turned around, smiled slightly at Uryu behind him, and loudly thanked him.

"Hmph~" Uryu snorted coldly upon hearing this, and retorted at the same time, "Kurosaki Ichigo-kun, watch your words. I don't recall that our relationship is so close that we can call each other by our first names~"

"In short! Chop! Chop! Chop!"

At this moment, Kurosaki did not take Uryu's words to heart at all. Like a battle madman, he kept swinging his Zanpakuto, killing one Hollow after another that came to block his way.

"Swish! Swish! Swish..."

As crimson light filled the sky, one after another, the void fell backward and crashed to the ground.

With Ishida Uryu and Kurosaki Ichigo joining forces, victory is within reach.

"Click, click, click..."

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the azure sky, and then, as if glass had been forcefully shattered, the dark sky inside revealed a pitch-black space...
