Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Where are you two?!"

Araki then looked at 'Kyoraku' and 'Ukitake'.

“My father and elder brother both told me not to come! They said I wouldn’t learn anything from you, and that I should inherit the family’s ‘martial arts’ instead!”

Kyoraku removed the basin of water from his head and began to preach to Araki.

"So what's your decision?"

Araki looked at Kyoraku and continued to ask.

"Damn it! Why should I listen to those two? Who do they think they are? They've already sent me to the 'Spiritual Arts Academy,' and now they're pretending to care about me?!"

"They told me not to come, but I'm coming anyway! I'm going to use the martial arts you taught me to beat them up! And then I'll tell them that the Kyoraku family's 'martial arts' over the past thousand years are all rubbish!"

Kyoraku was rebellious by nature and especially disliked his father and elder brother. Although he didn't know if following Araki's training was the right thing to do, he was sure he would be right as long as he did the opposite of what his father and elder brother advised him.

"so rude!"

Upon hearing this, Araki, still holding his scabbard, delivered a similarly 'loving' beating to Kyoraku.

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

Kyoraku felt a throbbing pain in his head and started crying like a coward.

"What about you?"

Araki then looked at Ukitake, who hadn't responded yet.

“My heart tells me that learning from you was the right choice.”

After thinking for a while, Ukitake addressed Araki.

"Your heart has found the right choice for you!"

Upon hearing this, Araki gently patted Ukitake's shoulder.

"Huh? Why doesn't Ukitake get beaten up?"

At this moment, Kyoraku stood up from the ground and protested.

"Because he is more obedient than you are, and obedient children don't get beaten."

Araki looked at Kyoraku and answered.

"Damn it, I'm not reconciled."

Kyoraku's eyes were brimming with tears, yet he couldn't refute Araki. Just as Araki had said, Ukitake was indeed obedient enough.

"Then, let's begin the training..."

Araki took the wooden sword off the shelf and tossed it to Kyoraku, Ukitake, and Tokina.

"Do I have to spar with you again today?!"

Kyoraku looked at the wooden sword in his hand and immediately shuddered.

"You don't need to fight me today. You can practice on your own today. Remember, don't slack off. I'll be watching you from behind..."

Araki brought over a chair and sat behind Kyoraku and the others, opening the taijutsu book he had brought from the 'Shihouin' family... Unfortunately, Araki's understanding of taijutsu was far too shallow compared to the 'Shihouin' family's accumulated knowledge. If he wanted to develop the 'Araki Rokushiki', he had to cram in the knowledge of this world.

"What kind of training?!"

On the other side, Kyoraku stared blankly at the two swords in his hands.

"Swing your sword."

Araki answered calmly.

"What I mean is, how should we wield the sword?"

Kyoraku asked Araki.

"Swinging a sword is not such an inconvenient thing. What fixed format is there? Your enemies will not follow the moves in the 'sword manual.' They will come from all directions and be 'omnipresent.' So, swing your swords freely according to your habits and your characteristics!"

Araki sat in his chair, still flipping through the book in his hands, without even lifting his eyelids to glance at the three of them.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Kyoraku looked somewhat puzzled.

On the other hand, Toki and Ukitake had already begun to wield their swords as Araki had instructed.

Because of his frail health, Ukitake's sword had a very small arc, conserving his energy as much as possible, while Tokina directly used the sword techniques from the dual-sword style manual collected by the Tsunayo family...

He didn't say much about these wild trees.

"Um?!"

Kyoraku watched as his two 'companions,' Ukitake and Tokina, began their training, and he, not to be outdone, started swinging his sword.

Kyoraku's swordsmanship was completely chaotic; he just swung wildly at the sky, "one strike to the left," "one strike to the right," each strike delivered with full force, each capable of creating a whistling wind...

However, Kyoraku soon began to tire, and finding the sword-wielding 'truly boring,' he started to have wicked thoughts. Kyoraku turned his head and secretly glanced at Araki, and after seeing Araki reading a book, he smiled slightly and secretly put down the wooden sword in his hand.

"Kyoto Raku does 10,000 push-ups."

Then, Kyoraku heard Araki's piercing voice.

"Huh? Ten thousand push-ups? That'll kill people!"

Kyoraku turned around and looked at Araki with eyes full of sorrow.

"You don't have to do it if you don't want to. Since you don't want to do push-ups and find sword wielding boring, then you can fight me."

Araki put down his book and looked at Kyoraku as he spoke.

"Are you sure you don't need to do it?" Kyoraku was initially delighted when he heard the first part of Araki's sentence, but his face immediately fell when he heard the second part: "Then I'll do push-ups instead!"

As Kyoraku spoke, he dropped the wooden sword in his hand, lay down on the ground, and began doing push-ups...

While doing push-ups, Kyoraku muttered to himself, "He was clearly reading! How did he find me?!"

“I’ve said it before, I’ve been keeping an eye on you.”

Just as Kyoraku finished speaking, Araki's voice continued to ring in the ears of the three of them.

Time flies by...

It wasn't until 8 p.m. that Araki allowed Kyoraku, Ukitake, and Tokina to leave.

When the three left, they could no longer feel anything in their hands.

"Hey! Ukitake and Tsunayoshi, are we just going to let that great demon king bully us like this?"

Once outside the Eleventh Division's barracks, Kyoraku pulled Ukitake and Tokina aside to discuss their plan to deal with Araki.

"Heh..." At that moment, Tan scoffed at Kyoraku's words. He patted Kyoraku's shoulder lightly and said in a sinister voice, "Kyoraku, I advise you to give up resisting! Araki-sensei can bully even my dad at will, so what's a little bullying of you and me to him?!"

"what?!"

Kyoraku's brow twitched slightly upon hearing this.

Although Shi Tan didn't say much, the amount of information he conveyed was astonishing...

"Kyoraku, stop thinking about rebelling against your teacher!"

"There must be a reason why Araki-sensei has us train like this! I believe in Araki-sensei!"

Ukitake expressed his unconditional trust in his teacher Araki, and it must be said that Ukitake now truly has the personality of an 'angel'.

However, the more 'angelic' someone is, the more likely they are to turn into 'dark and cruel'...

"These three little devils."

Inside the Eleventh Division's headquarters, Araki's 'External Sensing' gave him a clear understanding of the situation outside. He shook his head helplessly at the questions regarding Ukitake, Kyoraku, and Tokina.

Shi Tan is the outwardly wicked one, always looking bitter and resentful, as if everyone in the world owes him a million dollars. Simply put, he's mentally unstable, his 'chuunibyou' (middle school syndrome) runs deep, or in other words, he 'needs to be taught a lesson'...

Kyoraku is rough around the edges but meticulous at heart. Among the trio of Ukitake and Tokinada, Kyoraku has the most keen observation and thoughtfulness. He is generally upright, but he also has his share of 'dark' moments, making him a mix of good and bad. He is also the one Araki trusts the most.

Of the three, Araki believed that Ukitake had the biggest problem. Beneath Ukitake's sickly exterior lay a heart that was prone to extremes.

"Sigh, the task ahead is arduous and the road is long."

Araki suddenly understood what it was like for Genryusai to be a teacher; educating children was truly not easy.

"By the way, why hasn't the Heavenly Pillar Chariot come down from up there yet?!"

Araki shook his head to clear his mind, then looked up through the window at the towering 'Spirit King Palace'.

'Lingwang Palace', 'Biaoshendao'.

"Sword God."

The big-eyed monk looked at Wang Yue with a serious expression, his rough hands firmly gripping Wang Yue's shoulders.

"What's up?!"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Wang Yue's forehead as she asked the monk.

"Don't force me!"

As the monk spoke, he pulled out his Zanpakuto, a weapon that existed long before the concept of Zanpakuto was created by the "Sword God" Nimaiya Ohetsu, and was incredibly ancient.

"you……"

Wang Yue's expression changed drastically upon seeing this; he knew the monk was serious.

"I'm begging you! Please don't let Araki come up here!"

Just as the monk and Wang Yue were locked in a tense standoff, the monk waved his hand and wrote the character "隐" (hidden) on the "Heavenly Pillar Carriage" behind him, completely concealing it. He then made a request to Wang Yue and the members of the first generation of the Gotei 13.

"Hey~ Hyosube, I advise you to stop fooling yourself. Even without this thing, Araki can still get up here if he wants to~"

Wang Yue looked at the "Eye Monk" and said helplessly.

"Then let him climb up from the ground little by little!"

Upon hearing this, Bingzhubu addressed Wang Yue.

“The first thing he did after he climbed up was to go to the ‘Ling King’s Palace’ and kill you.”

Wang Yue reminded the military commander.

"Let my future self bear the consequences of what's to come!"

"If he comes up now, he'll immediately 'perfect' and 'convert' me into a Buddhist..."
