Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Yes, the weakness of the Sparrow Division even made Mao Zhilie feel a little sorry for them.

In fact, Uno Retsu is not a swordsman who fights with a sword in one hand. She also hides a hidden sword in the sleeve of her left hand, which can be used as a concealed weapon!

Unohime Retsu isn't exactly a 'pure' swordsman.

Unohetsu was born to fight, not to wield a sword. In her eyes, "How could something like a sword be such an inconvenient thing?!"

As long as he can defeat his opponent, Uno Retsu will use any weapon, whether it's a hidden sword or a regular blade, without any hesitation...

The reason why Uno no Retsu didn't use the hidden sword when dealing with Araki and Sasakibe...

The reason is that when dealing with Araki, Uno didn't have time to draw her dark sword from her left hand. Any slight distraction was enough to cause her failure.

When Muno Retsu was dealing with the Sparrow Division, she also didn't have time to draw the hidden sword in her left hand!

However, there's something different about how it was when he dealt with Araki compared to when he was with Mao...

When Mao was dealing with the Sparrow Clan, it wasn't because the battle with them was so intense that she couldn't concentrate on using the Dark Sword, but rather because before she even had a chance to use the Dark Sword, the Sparrow Clan was already downed by her slash.

The difference between them is like the difference between Uno Retsu dealing with Kenpachi Zaraki, who had sealed himself to the extreme, and Kenpachi Zaraki, who was at full strength, in the original work!

No, even now, Sasakibe is performing worse than Kenpachi Zaraki, who has sealed himself away...

At least Kenpachi Zaraki, who had sealed himself away, still managed to force out the dark sword in Unohana's left hand.

"I absolutely cannot lie down like this!"

"I'm a man who will follow Lord Yuan Liuzhai for the rest of my life!"

"Take this! This will be my last..."

Just as Uno was completely disappointed with Sasakibe Chojiro, Sasakibe once again rose from the sea of ​​blood. Holding his Zanpakuto, he aimed it at Uno Retsu, his heart filled with the desire to fight Uno to the end!

How could he fall like this, a man who swore to follow in the footsteps of Yamamoto Genryusai throughout his life! He was the one who wanted to become the 'shadow' of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, and who made following Yamamoto Genryusai his life's creed and carried it out throughout his life!

"Haha~"

To this, Uji simply smiled gently at Chojiro Sasaki, who had stood up again.

"Shh!"

With a whooshing sound, two hidden swords flew out from the left sleeve of Mao and shot towards Chojiro Sasakibe.

"Eh?!"

Before Chojiro could react, his abdomen had already been pierced by Muno's dark sword, and the sword's momentum had pinned him to the wall outside the Eleventh Division's barracks.

Sparrow: "I got up! Then I got instantly killed. Nothing more to say..."

"Tsk~"

In the captain's room, by the window...

Araki looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but turn his head away; he really couldn't bear to look anymore.

No, I'm just saying! Your saga isn't some 'Fairy Tail guild mage,' so why are you using your special power boost? What's the point? I'm asking you, is this power boost even useful? See, you got one-shotted again!

"Looks like this is the end of today!"

Looking at the fallen Sasuke, Uno withdrew his Blood River and released his Zanpakuto to heal Sasuke's Chojiro...

At this moment, Sparrowbeard gently covered his abdomen with his left hand, still looking incredulous. Wasn't he supposed to be prevented from finishing his sentence?!

"Sigh, time to sleep, time to sleep..."

Araki drew the curtains on the window of the captain's room, curled up on the sofa, and closed his eyes for a nap.

From then on, Araki never watched Uno Retsu give the Sasaki special training again!

Time flies, and as Araki gets older, he always feels that time passes faster and faster each day.

In the blink of an eye, two and a half months have passed since Chojiro Sasaki arrived at the Eleventh Division for special training...

It was time for Chojiro Sasakibara to return to the First Division. After all, he wasn't just an ordinary member; he was the lieutenant of the First Division, holding a high-ranking position...

"Thank you, Captain Uno, for your guidance and instruction over the past few days!"

"I have truly benefited greatly..."

As the midday training session came to an end, Chojiro Sasaki bowed deeply to his Shinigami Basics teacher, Uno Retsu.

"No need to be so polite!"

"To be honest, you are the most challenging student I have ever taught."

"Of course, I still have high hopes for you! It's just that everyone has their own path to walk."

After putting away her Zanpakuto, Uno Retsu reverted to her 'neighborly older sister' persona. She first looked at Sasakibe Chojiro with a sigh, and then made sure to boast to him so as not to completely damage his self-esteem.

"I understand!"

"When things at the First Division are less hectic, I will come to consult with you again! I hope Captain Uno won't mind!"

Chojiro nods humbly to Uji, indicating that he will not give up and will come back again.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Mao Zhilie fell silent for a moment.

"You are also the most 'persevering' person I have ever met!"

After a long pause, Unori Retsu's lips moved slightly, confirming Chojiro Sasaki's strong willpower.

"Then I'll take my leave! Oh, and please pass on my departure to Captain Araki. As for me, I won't bother Captain Araki any further..."

Chojiro Sasakibara, speaking with what he considered a rather dashing air, turned and walked towards the gate of the Eleventh Division without looking back. It must be said, Unoriretsu's special training for him was quite effective; in just two and a half months, he had made tremendous progress!

If Chojiro Sasakibara's record against Uno Retsu before his special training was 1:9, then now, after the training, he is confident he can go 4:6 against Uno Retsu...

Well, from being cut into nine pieces in a second at the beginning, he can now barely manage to be 'killed' six times by Uno Retsu in four seconds! This progress can be described as a leap forward!

cough cough...

Chojiro Sasaki cleared his mind of all the jumbled thoughts! He prepared to return to the First Division and properly handle the various tasks he had missed while training...

Just as Sasakibe reached the gate of the Eleventh Division's barracks, he suddenly saw Araki, who had been hiding in the captain's room ever since he entered the Eleventh Division for training, seemingly chatting and laughing with someone.

"Huh? That's...Araki? He came out of the captain's room?"

"Could the person with him be Captain Shikatori of the 8th Division?"

Sparrow was taken aback at first, then rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.

Araki walked with a smile beside Shikatori Hakuryuu, the leader of the 8th Division, and said politely, "Captain Shikatori, please follow me this way. Watch your step, the road for our 11th Division is not safe~"

"Hmm~"

The newcomer was none other than Shikatori Hakunsai, captain of the 8th Division of the Gotei 13.

She was petite and soft-spoken...

Contrary to her delicate figure, she possessed a remarkably full chest, a testament to her natural endowment...

A pair of round glasses perched on her small nose—she was an adorable girl whose style was completely different from the other captains of the original Gotei 13.

After hearing Araki's words, Shikatori Hakunsai gently tapped his small chin.

"No, it's Araki! Araki..."

"When I arrived at the Eleventh Division, you didn't come out to greet me! You bastard!!"

Chojiro Sasaki couldn't help but twitch slightly as he watched Araki personally come out to greet the Eighth Division Captain, Shikatori Hakunsai.

So, it turns out Araki can actually leave the captain's room...

So, the deep friendship and brotherhood between him and Araki that lasted for centuries, even millennia, will disappear, won't it?

Chapter 32 Deer Qu Bayunzhai: May I borrow your treasure for a moment!

"Yo! Captain Araki~ You finally decided to come out of your captain's room?!"

Chojiro Sasaki watched Araki, who was walking beside Shikato Hakunsai with a big smile on his face. He forcibly suppressed his anger, forced a smile, and greeted Araki.

At this moment, Sparrow kept giving himself mental instructions: "I must control my temper, I absolutely must control my temper!"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Araki looked up, but upon seeing that it was Sasakibe, he simply ignored him.

"Captain Shikatori, let's take a detour! There are some filthy people here who are not dressed properly, and they might offend your eyes!"

After Araki finished speaking, he took Shikatori Hakunsai's hand and headed in the opposite direction from where the Sasakibe had come from.

"Don't ignore me, Araki!!"

"We're the closest of friends!!"

The look that Araki gave him, as if he were trash, deeply stung him. He gritted his teeth and roared at Araki.

"Binding Spell Number Ninety-Nine: Forbidden!"

Upon hearing this, Araki turned around and glanced at Suzakube, then turned around and used a binding technique on Suzakube.

"Huh? You used the Number 99 Binding Spell on me?! You're not kidding, are you?"

As Suzakube watched the light emanating from Araki's fingers, his expression changed drastically. He seemed about to say something to Araki, but before he could finish speaking, countless leather straps began to wrap around Suzakube from all directions...

Before Sasaki could resist, the bandages released by the 99th Binding Spell to trap his spiritual pressure were already wrapped around his body. By the time Sasaki realized what was happening, he had already been pinned to the wall of the 11th Division barracks by Araki's Binding Spell.

Alas, the invincible Sasakibe, the one who wielded one of the few Zanpakuto in Soul Society capable of manipulating the weather for combat, was once again pinned to the wall…

At this moment, Sasakibe, trapped by Araki's Binding Spell, had only one thought in his mind: "A hundred years ago, we were brothers, always calling each other brothers! When we parted, we addressed each other as brothers! A hundred years later, you became the captain of the Eleventh Division, and since then, the word 'brother' has never left your lips! Not only that, but when I ask for your help, you just give me the runaround! Before you left, you even used the Number 99 Binding Spell, which is specifically used to trap Hollows, to trap me, for a complete stranger! Alas, my heart is full of bitterness!"

cough cough...

"This way~"

After Araki finished doing all this, he led the dazed Shikato Hakuryuu to the Eleventh Division Captain's office.

Nonsense! Shikatori is the captain of the 8th Division, how can you, a mere vice-captain of the 1st Division, compare to him?!

Of course, Araki swears that he absolutely did not treat Shikatori differently because Shikatori's figure was too wicked~ He, Araki, has always treated everyone equally!

Inside the headquarters of the Eleventh Division.

Araki and Shikatori sat on either side of a long table and chairs, on which was a bowl of freshly boiled tea.
