Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"I'm going to find Araki-sensei!"

As he spoke, Ukitake sat up from his sickbed, looking as if he was about to go find Araki.

"Ukitake, you're a patient now, you can't go anywhere else except here!"

The beautiful young women saw Ukitake get up and immediately stepped forward to stop him, pressing him back onto the bed.

"I'm going to find Araki-sensei!"

However, there was a stubbornness in Ukitake's eyes that the girls couldn't understand. He seemed possessed, determined to find Araki, and no amount of persuasion from others could change his mind. Yes, Ukitake was merely informing those around him what he was going to do, not asking if he himself could do anything...

"Oh! Ukitake-kun's awake now?!"

Just as Ukitake and the girls were locked in a stalemate, "Sword God Nimaiya Oetsu," "Araki," and Oetsu's personal guards slowly walked toward Ukitake's sickbed.

"Araki-sensei..."

Ukitake ignored the people around him, his gaze fixed on Araki, his eyes filled with doubt.

"We've succeeded in making it to Ukitake! You can rest now."

Araki smiled slightly after sensing Ukitake's gaze and addressed him.

"We succeeded? Really? We succeeded! That's wonderful..."

After hearing Araki's words, Ukitake's panicked heart finally calmed down. He lay back down on his hospital bed, picked up the blanket he had struggled to kick off from under the bed, and neatly covered himself with it.

"Honestly, I really can't tell that this kid is a patient!"

"I really don't know where he got the strength from; it took five of us to almost hold him down..."

As Fukitake consciously lay down on the hospital bed, the five beautiful girls who had been taking care of him immediately gathered around Wang Yue to complain, their words filled with dissatisfaction towards Fukitake.

"Ukitake is awake?!"

"Ukitake, are you alright?!"

Just as Ukitake lay back down on the hospital bed, accompanied by a wail, Kyoraku, with soup still on his lips, rushed towards Ukitake in a flurry of activity.

Where are you going?!

However, Kyoraku was pinned down by Araki with one hand.

"Araki-sensei, let me go! I need to see Ukitake!"

Kyoraku looked at Araki, who was blocking his way, and spoke with tears in his eyes.

"Ukitake is fine now, he's already asleep! If you go there, even if it's not a big deal, it might turn into a big deal!"

Araki grabbed Kyoraku by the neck and said with disgust.

"But……"

Kyoraku's eyes held a hint of hesitation.

"That's right. Some brainless guy just likes to cause trouble for others. Ukitake has just woken up and needs to rest. You shouldn't go over there and annoy him."

Just as Kyoraku was about to say something, Tokina had already come up behind Kyoraku and expressed his dissatisfaction to him.

"Hehe, you said that Ukitake needs to rest and shouldn't be disturbed, but after hearing the news that Ukitake has woken up, didn't you excitedly rush over too?!"

Kyoraku looked at Shitan behind him, first sneered, then mocked.

"You guy..."

Shi Tan blushed, a rare occurrence for him, and retorted, "I only came because I saw you were here! I would never have come if you hadn't come back."

"Haha~"

Kyoraku merely smiled dismissively upon hearing this.

"Tsk! Sometimes I really can't control myself and want to kill you, you bastard..."

Shi Tan's face was gloomy. He was toying with the Zanpakuto in his hand, contemplating whether to use his first Bankai on that bastard Kyoraku, to let him feel the pain of his body being 'corroded' by the wind, his spiritual pressure being 'eroded' by the shadow, and finally dissipating into nothingness from this world!

"Don't worry, everyone! I'm fine!"

Just as Kyoraku and Tokina were facing off, Ukitake, lying on his sickbed, shakily stretched out an arm from under the covers and gave a thumbs-up to everyone.

"Ukitake!"

For a moment, Kyoraku and Tokina stopped arguing and simultaneously mentioned Ukitake's name.

"Ha~"

"Tsk~"

Immediately afterwards, Kyoraku and Tokina turned their heads toward each other almost simultaneously...

The moment their eyes met, Kyoraku and Tokina simultaneously and forcefully turned their heads in other directions, uttering disdainful sounds at each other.

"Haha~"

Looking at the scene before him from his hospital bed, Ukitake slowly withdrew his arm and gave a wry smile.

"This kid is starting to look like a patient now. So where did he come from to use that strength to resist us sisters?!"

Meanwhile, the group of beautiful female sword spirits, personally crafted by Wang Yue, who had been responsible for taking care of Fuzhu, frowned and muttered to themselves after seeing Fuzhu's frail appearance, which seemed as if she were about to die at any moment.

"In any case, let's wait until Ukitake wakes up before we talk about what to do next!"

Araki looked at Ukitake lying quietly, walked to Kyoraku and Tokina's side, put his arm around their shoulders, and walked out of Ukitake's rest room.

"Is Araki-sensei and Ukitake alright?!"

Kyoraku looked at Araki and asked him about it.

"..."

Although Shitan didn't say anything, he was equally worried about Ukitake's condition.

"Don't worry! Ukitake is in excellent condition right now. He hasn't felt this good in years! He's just exhausted because his spiritual pressure was depleted, it's nothing serious~"

Araki explained to Kyoraku and Tokina.

"So, Araki-sensei, your plan with Ukitake was a success?!"

At this moment, Shi Tan looked at Araki and asked.

"Done!"

Araki gave Shitan a deep look upon hearing this. It seemed that this kid cared about Ukitake more than he had imagined. Araki simply looked at Shitan and said calmly.

"It's good that it succeeded..."

Shi Tan nodded and said no more.

"So what exactly are you guys talking about?!"

In response, Kyoraku said that he was a poor student and couldn't understand what the two people next to him were saying at all.

"Idiots don't need to understand."

Shitan didn't explain anything to Kyoraku, he just spoke coldly.

"asshole……"

Kyoraku's eyelids twitched slightly upon hearing this; as expected, he also disliked Shitan.

"Hey! You guys, is my little brother, Ukitake, alright?!"

Just as Araki led Kyoraku and the others to Wang Yue's reception room, Yoruichi Shihouin, who had just filled her stomach, asked Kyoraku and Tokina a question with her round belly.

"So you do care about Ukitake after all? Even after hearing that Ukitake had regained consciousness, you were still focused on 'cleaning' your own mouth with food, completely oblivious to Ukitake's condition~"

Kyoraku couldn't help but make a comment after seeing Yoruichi.

"Idiot! Since Araki-sensei and Wang Yue-sensei have already gone to Ukitake's place, you and I going there would only cause trouble! It's better to stay here and wait quietly; that's the best thing for Ukitake's recovery."

Upon hearing this, Yoruichi put her hands on her hips and spoke with righteous indignation.

"Senior sister, you're right!"

It's rare for Shi Tan to approve of a nighttime visit.

"Huh?! You came with me too?"

Kyoraku's expression changed repeatedly, and in the end he realized that he could not refute Yoruichi, so he could only angrily confront Tokina.

"I saw you go there and tried to stop you, but unfortunately I couldn't catch up! I must say, your Instant Step is superior to mine!"

Shitan patted Kyoraku on the shoulder, admitting that his Shunpo was inferior to Kyoraku's.

"You're talking nonsense! You're a user of a 'wind-type' Zanpakuto, whose Zanpakuto has also awakened the ability to move forward by harnessing atmospheric spiritual particles, and you actually say you can't catch up with me?!"

Kyoraku said he didn't listen to Shitan's nonsense at all.

"I can't catch up, I really can't catch up..."

Shitan turned his head away from Kyoraku's eyes, but his mouth didn't stop, constantly saying that he couldn't catch up with Kyoraku. Of course, if we're only talking about speed, he is undoubtedly the second fastest among Kyoraku, Ukitake, and Yoruichi, second only to Yoruichi.

"You guy..."

Kyoraku felt a surge of anger. As expected, the 'Tsunayoshiro family' were inherently evil, and lying was something they could do effortlessly without even blinking an eye.

"Okay! Okay! It's so noisy..."

"Everyone, get back to your seats!"

Araki, seeing that Kyoraku and Tokina's argument was escalating and about to turn into a duel, interrupted the two and made them all return to their seats.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Kyoraku and Tokina snorted coldly and obediently returned to their seats to await orders.

"Now it's time for the assessment..."

"How's your Bankai training going?!"

Araki asked the three people, Kyoraku, Tokina, and Yoruichi.

"Simple~"

"I have successfully mastered my Bankai!"

Upon hearing this, Kyoraku couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth when answering Araki's question.

At the same time, Kyoraku didn't forget to give Tokina and Yoruichi a provocative look.
