Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Araki then invited everyone to try it out in the spring.

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, the team leaders exchanged glances and then entered the hot spring pool almost simultaneously.

"what?!"

After everyone experienced the wonderful effects of the hot spring, they were once again shocked.

"This hot spring can relieve fatigue, treat hidden ailments, and heal injuries! It's incredible! It's even better than the healing hot spring at Kirin Temple..."

Yan Yuanjinle gently adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, then spoke softly.

"Not only that, I can feel my body being constantly tempered by the pool water! This hot spring can also help us in our cultivation!"

Odanjiro's control over his muscles had reached near perfection, and he instantly felt the benefits of the hot spring.

"So the raw material for this hot spring water is from those Hollows, right?!"

"Issoujiro asked Araki."

"exactly."

Araki smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"Understood!"

Upon receiving the answer, the team captains exchanged a knowing smile.

With this, the number of Kyrian hunters in this 'Great Void Forest' has increased by a full four.

The pressure suddenly shifted to Barragan's Las Noches, making it even more difficult for Barragan's Adjuchas to hunt Kyrians. The Great Hollow Forest was now a place where there were far more wolves than sheep...

This situation persisted for a full century, until a hundred years later when Araki's 'Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force' retreated from 'Hueco Mundo' and returned to 'Soul Society,' which finally brought about an improvement...

Then the Great Forest of Hollows seemed to have entered another era of hunting down Kyrians by the Adjuchas!

Years later, Aaroniero Arrunieri, the only Arrancar to evolve from a Killian and become one of Aizen's Espada, lamented: "Alas! Hueco Mundo prospers, Killian suffers! Hueco Mundo perishes, Killian also suffers!"

So...

Time flies, and a full hundred years have passed since Araki led the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force to conquer Hueco Mundo.

The Great Void Forest.

"Are you going back today?!"

"Yes! To be honest, I'm still a little reluctant to leave this place..."

"The main problem is that I haven't been back to Soul Society for almost a century, so I have no idea what it's become like there."

Several members of the team, dressed in tattered Shinigami uniforms, strolled through the 'Great Hollow Forest' as if they were walking in their own backyard, chatting as they went.

"Roar!!"

Just as the members were chatting, a 'Killian' suddenly emerged from the woods and attacked the Eleventh Division members.

"Hey! We're not here to fight you today. You'd better stay here quietly!"

When the team members saw the 'Killian' attacking them, a hint of nonchalance flashed across their expressions. A hundred years had passed, and they were no longer the 'rookies' who had just arrived in the 'Great Hollow Forest'.

"Seal him off! Yanyanluo!"

As one of the squad members drew his Zanpakuto and released it, endless clouds of mist instantly rose from the dark forest and swirled around the 'Killion'. The moment the Killion touched the mist, it transformed into countless chains, binding the Killion tightly...

"Go away!"

Immediately afterwards, the soldier holding the Zanpakuto pulled hard on Killian from a distance. The chains on Killian's body rattled, and Killian was thrown away by the soldier.

"boom!"

Then, accompanied by a cloud of dust, Nakirian collapsed to the ground.

“In the past, we ordinary members would have had no choice but to run away when faced with these powerful Hollows, but now even we can easily defeat the Gillian…”

The soldiers looked at Killian, who lay on the ground and hadn't gotten up for a long time, with a touch of emotion in their eyes. They had also made a lot of progress in the past hundred years.

The group didn't stay put; they simply intended to linger in Hueco Mundo during their final moments there, to take a good look at the place where they had lived for a hundred years...

"The captain has summoned us..."

When everyone returned to the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force's base, they saw a wall over a hundred meters high, inside which were rows of two-story buildings. These were all built by them over the years. The guards at the gates of the wall, upon seeing the soldiers who were heading to the Great Hollow Forest for their final reconnaissance, spoke up to remind them.

"We understand..."

Everyone nodded in unison and immediately headed towards the hot spring pool in the center of the expeditionary force's position.

A hundred years have passed, yet this 'hot spring' pool remains unchanged!

However, this pool is no longer open to the public for soaking; it is now more of a spiritual symbol.

If any member wants to obtain the spring water, they must hand over the corpse of a 'Hollow' to earn points. After obtaining points, the members can return to their respective resting huts and use those points to obtain the corresponding spring water... Yes, the water in the 'hot spring' is connected to the water supply system of each hut.

At this moment, all the members of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 had already gathered in front of the hot spring pool...

Standing at the very front of the hot spring pool was none other than Araki, the captain of the 'Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force'. Beside him stood a group of squad leaders, including 'Uno Retsu', 'Saito Immortal', and 'Shikato Hakunsai'.

"Gentlemen, time flies, and we have been fighting in Hueco Mundo for a hundred years! In these hundred years, we have kept the Hollows of Hueco Mundo within the safe threshold, and we have vanquished the evil spirit that once repelled Captain-Commander Yamamoto and slaughtered and harmed the Sages of the Central 46! Yes, my men, you are all true heroes!"

"Now, all the evil spirits have been vanquished, and His Majesty the Soul King's radiance shines throughout Hueco Mundo, dispelling all evil! He has driven those Hollows into the shadows, too afraid to show themselves! Our mission has finally come to an end, and it is time for us to go home! We will return to the Soul Society as heroes!"

Araki stood on the stage he had set up on-site and delivered a passionate speech to the group of team members in front of him.

"Oh!!"

As Araki finished speaking, the members of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 cheered loudly.

Regardless, the soldiers were still excited at the thought of returning to Soul Society, to their homeland.

"However, just as we were fighting against Hueco Mundo as heroes, 'some bad guys' and 'some evil forces' took advantage of our absence and invaded our home. Do you agree with that?!"

Just then, Araki continued to question the members of the Eleventh Division.

"I disagree! Absolutely disagree!"

The soldiers answered in unison.

"What do you think we should do when faced with those bad people?!"

Araki nodded in satisfaction, then continued to ask.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Eleventh Division members, who resembled 'demons,' drew their Zanpakuto from their waists, and their boundless killing intent caused the dark clouds in the Hueco Mundo sky to scatter instantly.

"We're only going to Soul Society to do three things: fairness! Fairness! And fucking fairness!"

Araki looked at the group of soldiers he had carefully trained, a smile playing on his lips. He held up three fingers to the sky. He had almost finished restoring Hueco Mundo. Now it was time to start restoring Soul Society. He wondered if those lovely nobles would be able to sleep at night when they learned that they were going back.

Soul Society, Seireitei...

Inside the barracks of the First Division of the Gotei 1.

"You told Araki about the Eleventh Division?!"

Genryusai stood in the empty team leader's room and asked Chojiro, the head of the sagakure team, beside him.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Quebu immediately moved closer to Yuan Liuzhai.

Under the lamplight, several clearly visible wrinkles could be seen on Quebu's face. In the past hundred years, Quebu had grown a lot, but also aged a lot.

"Hmm, not bad! It's time to teach those blind nobles a lesson!"

"Otherwise, those arrogant nobles will really think that I have become a puppet for them to manipulate!"

"Does anyone really think that because I accepted their sponsorship money to build the academy and personally expelled all the 'weapons' that helped me conquer the world from the Seireitei, I've transformed from a 'tiger' from the mountains into a docile 'house cat'?! Haha, that's ridiculous."

Yamamoto snorted coldly after hearing what Suzabe said, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Gotei 11...

A tall man was fast asleep in the 'sword dojo'.

Because the Eleventh Division Captain Araki led his team members to Hueco Mundo, the Eleventh Division has been vacant. However, the vast Seireitei cannot be without a combat division for even a day!

Therefore, Genryusai had always sent someone to act as the captain of the Eleventh Division...

However, a few years ago, a high-ranking nobleman approached Yuan Liuzhai and, at an extremely high price, discussed with him the possibility of supporting one of his confidants within the 13th Guards of the Imperial Guard!

Based on the theory of "eat all the clothes and fire all the cannonballs back," Genryusai, upon confirming that Araki was about to return, handed over the position of captain of the 11th Division to this high-ranking nobleman...

This made the nobleman extremely happy, because according to the rules of the Gotei 13, the captain of the 11th Division, in addition to his duties as captain, would also receive the name 'Kenpachi'!

Every Shinigami who earns the title 'Kenpachi' is hailed as the strongest Shinigami in the 'Seireitei' after Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni! In the eyes of the upper-class nobles, this is clearly Yamamoto trying to win him over, so he has been growing increasingly arrogant in recent years, to the point that even the 'Five Great Nobles' can no longer stand it.

After being called "Kenpachi" so many times, the man himself began to think he was the strongest Shinigami. As a result, he even occupied the "sword dojo" that the Eleventh Division members used to train in, and used it for taking afternoon naps.

And the demise of men is clearly today...

"Captain, Captain-Commander Yamamoto has issued a summons, ordering all captains to assemble at the First Division barracks to prepare for the return of the 'Hueco Mundo Extermination Squad'!"

"I heard that the Hueco Mundo Extermination Team has achieved unprecedented success in this expedition. Not only did they kill the Hollow who once plagued Seireitei, but they also wiped out half of the Hollow Forest and killed countless Hollows!"

A member of the Eleventh Division ran into the sword dojo and anxiously called out to the man who was fast asleep on the floor.

"Huh? Didn't I already say I'm not going!"

Upon hearing this, the newly appointed captain of the 11th Division showed no intention of getting up. He gave a few perfunctory instructions to his crew members, then turned over and continued to sleep on the floor.

"Captain, I heard from a rumor that the captain of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force is the captain of the Eleventh Division. I think you should go there..."

The soldier looked at his captain's arrogant demeanor and a hint of helplessness flashed across his face. It was precisely because his captain always acted so disdainfully that the soldiers of the Eleventh Division were so unpopular with the other divisions in Seireitei.

"Huh? Are you mistaken? I'm the captain of the Eleventh Division right now! Let that damn former captain of the Eleventh Division die!! No one can take my place!"

As the soldier finished speaking, the tall man suddenly opened his eyes. His face was fierce, and he grabbed the soldier in front of him by the neck.

"Forehead……"

The soldier wanted to fight back, but unfortunately, his strength was far inferior to that of the men.

"boom!"

Just then, a loud rumbling sound came from outside the gate of the Eleventh Division.

"what?!"
