My Anime Girlfriends

After hearing what I said, Yoruichi blushed on her wheat-colored skin and immediately opened her mouth with a smile, saying, "It's okay, I'll wait!"

Urahara probably didn't want to see, and didn't dare to see, me and Yoruichi being intimate, so he immediately said, "Well then, heaven! Just wait for the news that you've become the captain!" After saying that, he disappeared with a Shunpo.

After he left, I looked at Yoruichi's still-red face and said, "Shall we continue what we were doing?" Then I kissed her again.

Chapter 82 Kenpachi Zaraki

The day after my meeting with Yoruichi and Urahara, I received my appointment letter and went to take over as captain of the Sixth Division under the watchful eyes of more than ten captains. To be honest, when I put on the white haori of a captain and wore my noble credentials, I looked almost exactly like Byakuya Kuchiki from the original story. Fortunately, after years of imprisonment and with Urahara's encouragement, I decided to be myself again, no longer wearing a stern face every day, and returning to my former self who always had a smile on my face.

Not long after I took over as captain, I promoted Byakuya to vice-captain. Although the original captain was good, I felt embarrassed to slack off while he was around, so I decided to bring Byakuya to my side and assign him tasks, ostensibly as a trial for him. Besides that, I would often take Byakuya to the 'Shinigami Academy' for inspections, which made our contrasting expressions—one cold and one warm—a unique sight. But what can I do? We're both handsome! And two handsome guys with similar appearances but completely opposite expressions.

Today, at the Kuchiki clan's residence, I invited Yoruichi, Urahara, Kyoraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jushiro, Unohana Retsu, Mukkaru Kensei, Hirako Shinji, and their vice-captains to my place for a meal. Just as everyone was toasting each other, a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly emanated from outside, and all the captains in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at me.

Kyoraku Shunsui spoke first: "Little Tenten, you didn't invite him too, did you?"

I immediately nodded and said, "Yes, after all, we're all team leaders! It's good to have some friendly interaction!"

The gentle-natured Ukitake spoke up, "Kuchiki-kun is right, but who did you ask to invite him?"

I immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry about our team's third spot!"

As they were talking, the door to the room was opened, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties knelt outside the door and said, "Captain Kuchiki, Captain Zaraki and Vice-Captain Kusajishi have arrived."

Just then, a tall figure appeared behind him; it was none other than Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division.

I immediately smiled and said to the kneeling Third Seat, "Thank you for your hard work, Third Seat Araki! Please take a seat!"

The one known as the Third Seat of Araki was none other than Araki Dojin, the third seat of the Sixth Division. He glanced at all the captains present in the hall and Kenpachi Zaraki behind him, and swallowed hard before saying, "Yes, Captain Kuchiki!" Then, somewhat nervously, he found the most secluded spot to sit down.

Looking at Araki, I simply smiled and asked the servant to bring him a bowl and chopsticks.

Kenpachi Zaraki quickly scanned everyone in the hall with his wild gaze, finally fixing it on me. He grinned and said, "Long time no see, Kuchiki Ten!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a head with pink hair popped out from behind him and said in a cute child's voice, "Yo... Little Tiantian, long time no see!"

A bead of sweat appeared on my forehead. Being called "Little Tiantian" by a little kid was really embarrassing. I could only laugh and say, "Well, it's been a long time, Kenpachi, Yachiru!"

Upon hearing this, Kenpachi immediately grinned and said, "Let's fight!"

Yachiru immediately smiled and said, "Sword, you look so cool!"

I immediately smiled and said, "No need, let's find another opportunity!"

Hearing me say that, Yoruichi, who was sitting next to me, immediately asked me in confusion, "God, you know this guy?"

I immediately laughed and said, "Thirty-two years ago, when I had just joined the Fourth Division, I fought with him. I never expected that he would become the captain of the Eleventh Division."

When Yoruichi heard me mention this time, she couldn't help but feel downcast and asked, "What exactly happened?"

………………………………………………The scene shifts to a day thirty-two years ago…

Having just become the third seat, I arrived alone at the 79th Rukongai, Kusajika. As I walked slowly down the street, all the residents immediately distanced themselves from me upon seeing me. Their faces did not show fear, but rather numbness towards life.

On that day, I saw several characters from the Bleach storyline: Madarame Ikkaku and Zaraki Kenpachi were fighting, and Ayasegawa Yumichika and Yachiru were watching from the sidelines!

The battle between Ikkaku and Kenpachi seemed to have just begun. Ikkaku repeatedly parried Kenpachi's slashes with his sword, but after blocking countless blows, Ikkaku's feet were deeply embedded in the mud by Kenpachi's powerful strikes. Fortunately, at a crucial moment, he jumped back, dodging Kenpachi's powerful attack. Even so, a small wound appeared on Ikkaku's forehead, and blood flowed quickly down the wound. Ikkaku smiled, licked the blood from the wound, and said, "This is the first time!"

Upon hearing Ikkaku's words, Kenpachi Zaraki immediately asked in confusion, "What?"

With an excited smile, Madarame Ikkaku said, "This is the first time I've ever been so excited to be here!" He then jumped into the air and slashed down with his sword.

Kenpachi Zaraki laughed and blocked Ikkaku's attack with his sword, then said with a smile, "That's great!" He then blocked Ikkaku's attack again. The two then began a chaotic, haphazard attack.

Yumichika Ayasegawa, who was watching from the sidelines, was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his face. He bit his thumb and said, "What's going on! I can hardly see any swordsmanship or technique!"

Meanwhile, Yachiru said in her cute childlike voice, "Kenpachi is laughing! Hehe... But it's such a pity, it's about to end!" After she finished speaking, Ikkaku and Kenpachi, who were fighting, separated again after slashing once more and stared at each other.

Judging from the state of the two on the field, it was clear that Madarame Ikkaku was at a disadvantage. He had multiple wounds from Kenpachi's cuts and was breathing heavily, while Kenpachi showed no signs of discomfort, smiling broadly and in excellent condition. Kenpachi looked at Madarame Ikkaku opposite him and said with a smile, "I'm so happy! It's been so long since I've had this much fun!" He then instantly rushed towards Ikkaku, and the two clashed in a flash. When they separated, Madarame Ikkaku immediately collapsed to the ground; his Zanpakuto had been broken in two by Kenpachi in the instant of their exchange.

Lying on the ground, Madarame Ikkaku shouted at the top of his lungs, "Wait!"

Kenpachi looked at the man lying on the ground and feigned surprise, saying, "What! You're still alive!"

"What do you mean?! Why didn't you deliver the fatal blow? You won!"

"Sorry! I'm not interested in guys who can't fight, and besides, I have no obligation to deliver the fatal blow!"

"Are you kidding me?! Are you mocking me?! Kill me now!"

"If you also like fighting, then don't go there yelling for someone to kill you! Don't think of dying just because you're about to admit defeat. Only when you're dead can you admit defeat. If you're lucky enough to survive after losing, it's just because you're fortunate. At times like this, all you need to think about is how to survive and prolong your life!"

"What did you say!"

"Once you survive, all you need to think about is how to kill the person who didn't kill you! I didn't hold back in fighting you, you're lucky you didn't die! Live on... live well, and then come and kill me again!" Kenpachi grabbed Madarame Ikkaku's collar, said these words, then let go and turned to leave.

"Wait...you...tell me your name?"

Kenpachi turned his head and said very seriously, "Kenpachi... Kenpachi Zaraki!" Then he prepared to leave.

Chapter 83 Battle with Kenpachi Zaraki

Just as Kenpachi was about to leave, I, who had been standing to the side, stepped forward and stopped him. Kenpachi looked at me standing in front of him and asked in confusion, "Shinigami? What do you want?"

I immediately said, "Kenpachi... Kenpachi Zaraki, you're using the name of the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society, so I want to know if you're qualified!"

"Hmm? You...who are you?" Kenpachi Zaraki, with Yachiru hanging on his back, looked at me and asked in a hoarse voice.

I replied slowly in the same calm tone, "Kuchiki Ten, the third seat of the fourth division of the Gotei 13... is the one who will defeat you!" As I spoke, I drew my Zanpakuto.

“Third seat… Interesting!” Kenpachi immediately said with a smile. As he spoke, Yachiru, who was lying on his back, jumped down and ran to the side. He then slowly raised his serrated Zanpakuto and pointed it at me, saying, “Come on!” After saying that, he charged forward with golden spiritual pressure emanating from his body.

"Clang..." The sound of swords clashing rang out. Kenpachi's Zanpakuto were locked in a fierce battle. Kenpachi, seeing that I had blocked his attack with one hand, immediately laughed and said, "You're strong! This is really interesting! Let's have a good fight!" With that, he swung his sword, forcing me back a step, and then charged forward with a laugh, launching a series of chaotic attacks.

Seeing Kenpachi's smile, I couldn't help but laugh along. I didn't use any sword techniques; I simply used raw power to swing my sword and exchange blows. During our fight, we both emanated powerful spiritual pressure. Each clash of our swords produced a dull thud and stirred up powerful gusts of air that swept outwards. Soon, almost all the spectators had left, leaving only the heavily injured Kazuka, his caretaker Yumichika, and the ever-smiling Yachiru. The entire battlefield was filled with oppressive spiritual pressure; the sounds of clashing swords and Kenpachi's laughter were almost the only noises on the battlefield.

After watching my battle with Kenpachi, Ikkaku Madarame, who was observing from the sidelines, exclaimed excitedly, "Is this his true strength?! Strong... he's incredibly strong! I never expected him to be this strong. Is his name Kenpachi Zaraki?"

Looking at Madarame Ikkaku, Yumichika couldn't help but say, "Ikkaku, did you hear that? The person he fought was from the Kuchiki clan, a noble!"

Ichigo immediately exclaimed in surprise, "What? A nobleman? That's terrible! If he wins, that's awful!"

"But that nobleman might not necessarily lose!"

At this moment, my battle with Kenpachi had temporarily come to an end. My clothes had been torn in several places, but I was not injured. Kenpachi, on the other hand, had several hideous wounds on his body, and blood was slowly flowing out.

I looked at my torn clothes, regained my composure from before the battle, and said to Kenpachi Zaraki, "It seems your sword can't hurt me either! What a disappointment!"

After sensing the difference in my attack, Kenpachi immediately laughed loudly, "Interesting... This is really interesting! This is the first time someone has said that my sword can't hurt him!" As he spoke, golden spiritual pressure immediately erupted from his body, and he continued to slash at me in those seemingly chaotic manner.

After I blocked his downward strike, he laughed and said, "Why did you block it? Didn't you say my sword couldn't hurt you?" I immediately deflected his Zanpakuto, looked at him with a smile, and said, "I'm not stupid enough to stand there and let you cut me!" I paused slightly and said, "Go learn swordsmanship! Otherwise, you won't be able to beat me!" With that, I slowly sheathed my Zanpakuto.

Upon hearing my words, Kenpachi Zaraki immediately burst into laughter and said, "Interesting... Swordsmanship? To me, everything is the same! As long as I can fight, that's all that matters!" With that, he attacked again!

"Oh! Then I'll tell you how weak you are if you don't know how to use a sword!" As I spoke, my right hand slowly struck the hilt of my Zanpakuto, and I took a step forward, brushing past Kenpachi who was rushing towards me.

Kenpachi, who had just brushed past me, remained in a forward-slashing stance. He slowly turned around, looked at me, and asked with a smile, "What was that just now?"

With my back to him, I simply said, "Instant Flash! A type of sword-drawing technique, but... it's not suitable for you!"

Upon hearing this, Kenpachi immediately smiled and said, "Kendo? Boring..." As soon as he finished speaking, a wound suddenly appeared on his abdomen, and blood immediately gushed out from it.

I slowly turned around, drew my Zanpakuto again, smiled slightly, and said, "I hope to fight you again when you truly earn the name 'Kenpachi'!" As I spoke, I softly murmured, "Wither, cherry blossoms!"

...Scenes of a dinner party...

After I recounted my encounter with Kenpachi, everyone except Kenpachi and Yachiru, who were eating and drinking normally, stared at me in disbelief. They had thought that Kenpachi and I were just acquaintances, but they never expected that I had actually fought with Kenpachi and even defeated him. Judging from my tone, it seemed that the victory was very easy.

Seeing the way everyone was looking at me, Yachiru thought they didn't believe me, so she immediately raised her little hand and said loudly, "Yachiru can testify for Xiaotian. What Xiaotian said is true. And Xiaotian even treated Xiaojian!"

After Yachiru finished speaking, Kenpachi Zaraki immediately smiled and said, "Hmm... those are all things from my childhood, I've almost forgotten them, but..." He then looked at me with eyes full of fighting spirit and said, "You promised me that we would fight each other after I truly possessed the name 'Kenpachi,' and I won't forget that!"

Seeing Kenpachi Zaraki's fighting spirit, I immediately smiled and said, "No problem! Tomorrow! Let's spar at the First Division's training ground! As for the time, I'll explain everything to Captain-Commander Yamamoto!"

Kenpachi Zaraki immediately burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha... It's settled then!"

The party proceeded as planned. Since I had already agreed to a duel with Kenpachi, Kenpachi didn't cause me any more trouble and just happily drank his fill, while Yachiru quickly devoured the desserts on the table.

At this moment, Aizen, the vice-captain, pushed up his glasses and put down his wine cup with a smile, asking, "Captain Kuchiki, in the battle you mentioned earlier, you didn't seem to mention using Shunpo or Kido. Did you really win against Captain Zaraki back then with just swordsmanship?"

Aizen's words reminded the drinking crowd that they hadn't mentioned using Kido or Shunpo. Could it be that they had only used swordsmanship to defeat Kenpachi, who was famous for his close combat? So they all stopped what they were doing and looked at them with curiosity.

I immediately laughed and said, "How could that be? I still absolutely need Instant Step!"

Hearing this, Aizen put his hand on his glasses and said thoughtfully, "You can defeat Captain Zaraki just by using swordsmanship and Shunpo! Captain Kuchiki, I'm starting to look forward to tomorrow's match!"

Shinji Hirako immediately spoke up, "Sousuke, what you said is a bit redundant. If the battle between captains isn't something to look forward to, then that would be terrible!"

Aizen immediately looked ashamed and said, "Yes, Captain, it seems I really said something unnecessary!"

Chapter 84 Hogyoku

The next day, at the training grounds of the First Division

Almost all the Shinigami who weren't on missions gathered there, including at least half of the captains of the 13th Division. After all, it's rare to see a battle at the captain level, especially since one of the captains was the captain of the 11th Division.

After the Kido subordinates created a barrier, Kenpachi Zaraki and I immediately walked to the center of the training ground. Kenpachi burst into laughter, and his spiritual pressure swept towards me like a storm, forcing me to unleash the same pressure in response. As our spiritual pressure intensified, golden pillars of light, almost tangible, emanated from us. Simultaneously, Kenpachi drew his Zanpakuto from his waist in a flash and launched a fierce attack.

After deflecting Kenpachi's Zanpakuto, I immediately retreated. Although my slashes were still haphazard, my spiritual pressure was much stronger than before.

Kenpachi immediately burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha... Same as before! That's great! Kendo? I've already mastered it!" As he spoke, he slowly gripped the hilt of his sword with his other hand.

When Yachiru saw Kenpachi gripping his sword with both hands, she immediately said in a cute childlike voice, "Hehehe... Kenpachi, get serious!"

When Captain-Commander Yamamoto saw Kenpachi Zaraki wield his sword with both hands, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression. I smiled, then instantly rushed in front of him, my Zanpakuto moving with the force of lightning, thrusting from more than a dozen directions at his vital points. It was the 'Thunderbolt Sword Technique,' one of the many sword techniques I learned in my previous life, emphasizing speed. This immediately surprised the captains who had never seen me use swordsmanship before, because my speed was simply too fast. Although they were all just simple combinations of sword techniques, the astonishing speed and the coordination between attacks from various angles surprised the captains who had always relied on the release of their Zanpakuto, simple swordsmanship, and close combat using Hakuda and Shunpo.

Upon seeing my attack, Kenpachi Zaraki immediately smiled and took a step forward. He raised his Zanpakuto above his head and slashed down rapidly. A beam of light seemed to descend along with Kenpachi's sword, instantly creating a huge crater in the training ground floor. It was as if the powerful force had instantly broken through all my attacks.

Seeing my attack countered by Kenpachi's 'overpowering skill' technique, I couldn't help but show an expression of admiration. After breaking my attack, Kenpachi immediately laughed and said, "Interesting... very interesting!" Then, his Zanpakuto began to attack with wide and sweeping moves, stronger than when he used one hand, and more compact and orderly than when he used to slash randomly. Kenpachi was stronger than before.

As Kenpachi and I were locked in a fierce battle, Kyoraku Shunsui, standing outside the barrier formed by Kido, laughed and said, "I didn't expect Tenten to be so strong. In terms of swordsmanship alone, I'm afraid I have no way to defeat him!"

Ukitake Jushiro immediately said seriously, "Yes! He hasn't used Shunpo or Kido yet, although I knew he defeated Captain Zaraki before! I didn't expect it to be just pure swordsmanship!" As he said this, the two on the field separated again. Kenpachi had several small wounds on his body, but he still laughed and said loudly, "That was great! I don't know how long it's been since I felt this good!"

I immediately laughed and said, "Why do you say that? The band leader and the others are no weaker than me!"

Kenpachi paused for a moment after hearing what I said, then burst into laughter, saying, "Haha... Interesting... This is really too interesting. Well then, let's not do this anymore. Although that 'sword technique' is very powerful, I don't like it. It's more satisfying to just chop!" After saying that, he gripped his Zanpakuto with one hand again, and his spiritual pressure surged once more.

When Kenpachi said that, I nodded, released one hand from the hilt of my sword, and pointed it at him with the other. My spiritual pressure surged to a level slightly higher than his, and I said, "Then... let's settle this in one move!" Then I saw the two of us suddenly come together and separate, standing back to back on opposite sides of the training ground. After a moment of silence, I slowly sheathed my Zanpakuto, while Kenpachi, after showing a satisfied smile, suddenly broke his Zanpakuto in two, and then gushed out a large amount of blood from his chest.

Seeing that the competition was over, the Kido Clan immediately dispelled the barrier. I stepped out and quickly went to Unohana Retsu, saying, "Captain Unohana, please heal his injuries!" Then, I said to Kuchiki Byakuya, who was standing nearby, "Byakuya, let's go!"

Byakuya immediately replied, "Yes, Captain!" Byakuya, who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters, did not address me as "Big Brother," but as "Captain."
