Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

As Araki finished speaking, the members of the Eleventh Division were immediately shocked. They had never seen such an arrogant person as Araki, who dared to question Captain-Commander Yamamoto's words!

As Araki continued to spout arrogant words, the members of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 finally could not bear it any longer. They all drew their Zanpakuto from their waists, determined to teach Araki a lesson he would never forget.

"Stop it!"

Araki looked at the group of people who had drawn their swords and sighed helplessly.

"Now you finally know fear? Too late!"

Upon hearing Araki's words, the Shinigami soldiers finally showed a hint of excitement.

"You've misunderstood. Even for me, controlling the force to step over an ant without harming it is very difficult..."

Araki's expressionless face finally betrayed a hint of emotion.

At first, I didn't understand the meaning behind his words, but suddenly I realized that these words had already come out of his mouth.

"..."

Silence! As Araki finished speaking, the entire barracks of the 11th Gotei 13 fell silent.

"You bastard! Even at this point, you're still spouting nonsense!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, breaking the silence.

This was followed by a sudden change in the expression of the soldiers. At this moment, the soldiers of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 were finally enraged. They wanted to use the swords in their hands to make Araki feel the anger in their hearts.

"Die! You despicable madman!"

It's unclear who first swung their blade, but under the leader's sword light, one silver blade after another slashed towards Araki.

"Shh!"

In an instant, the glint of swords was like snow, filling the space between heaven and earth.

However, when the sky was filled with the light of countless swords, Araki remained unharmed, standing safely in the very center surrounded by everyone.

"How can it be?!"

As for the Shinigami soldiers standing around Araki, their eyes were filled with nothing but confusion and despair.

"Snapped……"

The Shinigami soldiers who had surrounded Araki all drew their Zanpakuto and were about to strike when, just as they were about to strike, the blades in their hands shattered like snowflakes and fell to the ground in the wind…

At the same time, an incomparably brilliant and vibrant 'blood-red rose' bloomed on the chest of each soldier.

"Splash, splash, splash..."

As the sounds of flesh hitting the ground echoed, in the blink of an eye, only Araki remained standing in the center of the vast courtyard of the Gotei 11.

Araki's expression remained calm, just as he had when he first entered the Eleventh Division's barracks, dressed in pristine white, untouched by a speck of dust.

"As I said, it's difficult to control the force required to step over ants without getting hurt."

Araki stared indifferently at the fallen soldiers lying on the ground, muttering to himself.

"Click~"

It was at this moment that the gates of the Gotei 11 swordsmanship dojo suddenly opened, and the members of the Gotei 11, who had just finished their daily training, rushed out of the dojo in a dark mass, their faces contorted with malice as they glared at Araki.

Behind the soldiers who filed out stood a woman, also dressed in white, with long, ink-black hair! However, the white robe she wore was a white haori, symbolizing her status as the captain of the Gotei 13…

At this moment, the captain, respected by countless members of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, was 'gazing into the distance' at Araki, who stood alone in the courtyard of the 11th Division, where 'every bush and tree seemed to be an enemy.'

"Finally, I've found an opponent I can truly challenge!"

"I hope you can properly satisfy my thirst for battle~"

The woman smelled the blood in the courtyard, gently licked her pale red lips, and then gave a twisted and morbid smile in the direction of Araki.

Chapter 8: Araki vs. Unohana Yachiru!

Just as Araki and Yachiru Uno were facing off across the crowd, the members of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, who had emerged from the dojo, surrounded Araki.

"Send the wounded to the medical unit first."

Meanwhile, a high-ranking member of the Eleventh Division ordered his subordinates to take the patrolmen lying on the ground to receive treatment.

"Damn it! What on earth happened here?!"

"How could one person possibly defeat so many of our soldiers?"

"We are the most skilled fighting division among the Gotei 13! How could so many of our members be defeated by a mere person?! If word gets out, won't we become a laughingstock?"

These soldiers emerging from the sword-fighting dojo were all high-ranking officers in the 11th Division of the Gotei 13. Their strength was worlds apart from those guarding the gates and protecting the barracks of the 11th Division who had previously besieged Araki. Even so, they couldn't comprehend how Araki had managed to defeat those guards of the 'gates' and 'barracks'…

They couldn't even see how Araki made his move.

"Hey! You seemingly ordinary guy! What dirty tricks did you use to cut down a member of our Gotei 11?"

The officials, puzzled by Araki's methods, could only surround him and ask him questions.

"Since you can't even see the knife in my hand, why are you even going forward? Go back!"

Araki glanced around, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the Shinigami soldiers belonging to the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, before gently shaking his head.

Araki saw the confusion and bewilderment in the eyes of the Eleventh Division members. Clearly, they genuinely didn't understand how Araki had managed to defeat those around him. This made Araki think that the Eleventh Division of the Gotei 13 was somewhat weak…

They're much weaker than Araki imagined. It seems the original 11th Gotei 13, known as a combat squad, isn't enough to overwhelm them! But thankfully, Araki is here, so everyone else will have to be overwhelmed...

As for those who cannot adapt or should be eliminated, they should naturally be kicked out of the Eleventh Division. Otherwise, even if they stay in the Eleventh Division, they will definitely not have a good ending.

"What did you say?!"

Araki's words ignited the anger in the hearts of those around him, and they instinctively gripped the hilts of their swords at their waists.

"Ha ha……"

Araki simply smiled, ignoring the surrounding soldiers and looking directly at the figure standing behind them, radiating a chilling killing intent.

"I am Araki, the master of 'Genryu Menkyo Kaiden'! I have come to inquire about the sword in your hand, Lord Ueno."

Araki gazed at the elegant figure standing not far away, and at the same time destroyed his own base, he issued a challenge to battle.

"Oh? 'The Genryu Menkyo Kaiden'? I see! You must be that scoundrel Araki that Captain-Commander Yamamoto was talking about!"

The elegant figure, namely Yachiru Uno, who was the captain of the 11th Division of the first Gotei 13, was slightly taken aback after hearing Araki's words, and then her smile deepened.

Clearly, Ueno Yachiru, as one of the first captains of the Gotei 13 under Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, had heard of Araki's name.

"Eh?!"

"It seems you've heard of me, Lord Mao? That's both surprising and 'honorable'~"

"After all, I'm just an insignificant 'nobody'~"

Araki, noticing the slightly surprised look on Yachiru Ueno's face, pretended to be surprised as he spoke.

"A person who can obtain the 'Menko Kaiden' from Yamamoto, the Chief Instructor, can hardly be considered an unknown figure!"

As Araki spoke modestly, Yachiru Ueno narrowed her eyes slightly.

"hehe."

Araki simply smiled faintly and said nothing more.

"'Genryu Menkyo Kaiden'? Could it be the 'Genryu' from Captain-Commander Yamamoto's name?"

"Huh? Really? I've never heard of anyone taking the 'Menkyo Kaiden' of the 'Genryu' from Captain-Commander Yamamoto?"

"Let alone 'Menko Kaiden'! There aren't many people who can gain Captain-Commander Yamamoto's approval and claim that their swordsmanship style is 'Genryu'!"

As Araki and Uno Yachiru continued their seemingly oblivious conversation, the members of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, who were surrounding Araki, all changed their expressions drastically. They were shocked by the information being conveyed in their conversation.

They originally thought Araki was just an unknown nobody who broke into Seireitei from Rukongai, but they never expected that he had a powerful background!

Immediately, all the members of the Eleventh Division wore bitter expressions. They looked at Araki with a troubled expression and said, "Since you have such a background, why didn't you just say so when you entered the barracks? Do you think we would have dared to stop you?"

Even if Araki had said it back then, they would never have believed him, but putting aside the 'facts,' is Araki completely without fault?

Who can blame Araki for looking so 'ordinary' compared to the assassins of the Gotei 13?

In Araki's opinion, it takes some skill to look as grotesque as the assassins in the Gotei 13!

As for the accuracy of what Araki and Uno Yachiru said, no one in the entire Eleventh Division dared to question it, after all, these words came from the mouth of Captain Uno, whom they admired.

Although they don't trust Araki, they have absolutely no doubt about the first Kenpachi, Yachiru Uno, who pioneered the concept of the 11th Gotei 13.

"I hope that you, coming from the 'Genryu' style, can satisfy my thirst for battle~"

After confirming Araki's identity, Uno no Yachiru finally stopped suppressing the strong, restless desire within her for blood, for battle, and for slaughter. She gently drew her Zanpakuto and assumed an offensive stance.

"To satisfy your thirst for battle?!" Araki remained outwardly calm upon hearing Uno Yachiru's words, but inwardly smiled faintly: "Uno, you underestimate me! I can satisfy far more than just your desire for battle!"

cough cough...

quiet!

As Yachiru Uno drew her Zanpakuto from her waist, the entire barracks of the 11th Gotei 13 became unusually quiet!

At this moment, both the Eleventh Division members surrounding Araki and the members caught between Araki and Uno Yachiru, bewildered, held their breath due to the intense, murderous aura in the air.

"Such intense killing intent!"

"Whether it's this person who claims to be the 'Master of the Genryu Monk' or Captain Usagi, they are both monstrous beings! They are bloodthirsty beasts, and if we are not careful, we will be devoured!"

At this moment, the members of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, known as the most capable and warlike among them and called the "Combat Division," were all in a panic!

They seemed to be standing between two bloodthirsty beasts, unable to move forward or backward, suppressed by the immense killing intent emanating from both beasts...

At this moment, whether they were squad leaders or ordinary squad members, they were all going through a tense, painful, and extremely uncomfortable process. For everyone, every minute and every second was torture!

In that heavy atmosphere, the soldiers felt as if their hearts, which were beating in their chests, were about to stop.

"Tick tock~"

Just as the members of the 11th Gotei 13 were wondering how long Araki and Yachiru Uno would stand their ground, a drop of dew fell from the leaf of a nearby stone pond and gently landed on the ground!

The sound, though not loud at first, broke the silence in the courtyard of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13...

"coming!"

At that moment, a voice echoed in the hearts of all the members of the Eleventh Division, and they knew that the calm before the storm had finally been broken.
