My Anime Girlfriends

All the captains and vice-captains watched our retreating figures. Lisa Yadomaru, the vice-captain of Kyoraku Shunsui, exclaimed in surprise, "What astonishing spiritual pressure! Their spiritual power is probably more than twice that of an average captain!"

The captain of the Fifth Division, Shinji Hirako, smiled and said to his vice-captain, Aizen, "Yes! Our spiritual pressure is still far behind theirs! I wonder if we can also possess their power! Isn't that right, Sousuke?"

After Hirako finished speaking, Aizen smiled, adjusted his glasses, and looked at Byakuya and me as we walked away, saying, "Yes, Captain Hirako!"

After returning to the barracks, Byakuya Kuchiki asked, "Brother Ten, is this really okay?"

I nodded immediately and said, "Yes, although with Yoruichi and Kisuke's help, I've made a good impression on the various divisions, but... after being missing for over thirty years, I became a captain as soon as I returned. Although the members of the divisions haven't said anything, quite a few people are still gossiping. That's why I had to defeat Kenpachi in front of everyone..."

Upon hearing my answer, Byakuya fell silent, then nodded firmly and said, "I understand, brother!"

Hearing Byakuya say that, I turned to look out the window and said, "I understand! That's good!" I turned to look at the cherry blossom trees in the garden and said slowly.

................................................

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. After I defeated Kenpachi Zaraki, my name quickly became known to all the Shinigami, and I became an idol to the young Shinigami, most of whom were female Shinigami. Thus, I became the most famous Shinigami in Soul Society.

In the secret base, Urahara held up a first-aid flask and said to me with a smile, "Wow, I didn't expect you to be so famous now. Some of the female team members under me even asked me if they could transfer to the Sixth Division. I'm such a failure as a captain!"

Yoruichi, who was sitting next to me, immediately laughed and raised the sake bottle in her hand, saying, "Don't say that, Kisuke! Then just ignore your teammates!"

I picked up a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Each squad only has 200 official members. If anyone from your squad is willing to be a candidate, I have no objection!"

Upon hearing this, Urahara immediately said dejectedly, "You actually agreed!"

Yoruichi, seeing Urahara like this, immediately burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha... Kisuke, you've asked for trouble!"

As I sipped my tea, I asked, "Did you call us here for something? Is there some problem with the experiment?"

Upon hearing my question, Urahara's expression became more serious than ever before as he replied, "Yes, a big problem!"

Yoruichi and I asked at the same time, "What?" because we had never seen Urahara with such a serious expression before.

Urahara slowly pulled out a circular object about 3 centimeters in diameter, surrounded by a transparent crystal, from his Shinigami armor and said, "Both Shinigami and Hollows have a limit, but if you break that limit, you will gain great power. This thing can break that limit, and I call it the 'Hōgyoku'!"

Chapter 85 Matsumoto Rangiku

After learning from Kisuke that he had already created the 'Hogyoku', I began to understand that Aizen's actions were about to begin, but... due to my appearance, this happened almost ten years earlier than in the original story.

I looked at Matsumoto Rangiku, the future lieutenant of the 10th Division, who was lying unconscious on the deserted road due to hunger. Although it was a little different from when Ichimaru Gin met her in the original work, I still handed her a box of exquisite sweets and said, "Here you go. Since you feel hungry, then you must have no spiritual power at all!"

Because I concealed my spiritual pressure, Rangiku, who possessed spiritual power, did not sense it. When the adorable Rangiku woke up, the first thing she saw was me smiling. Then she saw the food in my hand and tried to reach for it, but she was too weak. I smiled and put a piece of pastry to her mouth to feed her.

After eating a few snacks, she finally regained some strength. I smiled and said to her, "Let me find you a home! What's your name?"

"Rangiku...Matsumoto Rangiku!"

"Rangiku! It's a very nice name. Come with me!" I said, extending my hand.

Rangiku glanced at me, then slowly extended her hand. I took her hand and we left the Zaraki Ward with a smile. Along the way, Rangiku observed her surroundings with curious eyes. Soon, I took Rangiku to the fifth ward of Rukongai and found a young woman named Kawakami Kaori. Kawakami Kaori was originally a maid in the Kuchiki family, but she was rather ruthlessly expelled from the Kuchiki family mansion by the butler Hiratsuka for making a small mistake. She ended up in Rukongai and later, with my arrangement, lived in the relatively stable fifth ward.

I smiled, patted Rangiku's head, pointed at Kawakami Kaori, and said, "Rangiku, you have a home now. From now on, she's your older sister!" Then I said to Kawakami Kaori, "Kaori, Rangiku is in your care now!"

Kawakami Kaori still couldn't forget the habit she had developed at the Kuchiki family, and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, Lord Ten!"

I immediately waved and said, "This is Rukongai, not the Kuchiki family home, no need for so much formality!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Rangiku immediately asked, "Big brother, can I still see you?"

I looked at Rangiku, who was looking anxious, and said with a smile, "Yes, but... you have to become a Shinigami first!"

Rangiku asked, somewhat puzzled, "The Grim Reaper?"

I nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Death!"

Hearing me say that, Rangiku looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked, "So... what's your name, big brother?"

I immediately said seriously, "Heaven, Kuchiki... Heaven, my name!"

Hearing me say that, Rangiku couldn't help but repeat, "Heavens, Kuchiki...heavens!" As she spoke, I had already turned and left, the numbers on her white haori leaving a deep impression on Rangiku.

After parting ways with Rangiku, I headed straight for the Seireitei. As soon as I arrived at the Hakudo Gate, Ichinosaka Jitanbo, who was in charge of guarding the Hakudo Gate, immediately bowed and said, "Captain Kuchiki, you're back!"

I nodded politely and said, "Yes, you've had a hard day again!"

Upon hearing my words, Ichikan-saka Jidanbo immediately adopted an expression of 'I dare not accept such praise' and said, 'It is what I should do!'

Seeing what Sidanbo said, I couldn't help but smile and immediately used Instant Step to head to the Sixth Division's barracks. As soon as I returned, Byakuya exclaimed, "You're back, Ten-nii!"

I immediately smiled and said, "Yes! I'm back, Byakuya!" and sat down. But just as I sat down, an urgent notification came in. Captain Yamamoto was calling a captains' meeting. After receiving the notification, Kuchiki Byakuya, who was helping me organize the documents, looked at me with a puzzled expression. I immediately smiled and said, "Let's go! Byakuya, we'll find out the answer when we get there!"

After Byakuya and I arrived at the First Division, we found that the other captains and vice-captains were already there, all in the captains' offices. This made me realize that this incident was definitely not simple. After Captain Yamamoto saw me standing in position, he gestured to his vice-captain and said, "According to the news from the Shinigami fighting on the front lines, Hueco Mundo has been very active recently. The front lines are now frequently attacked by Menos Grande, and it is suspected that there may be Adjuchas-level beings among the Menos Grande. These are beyond the ability of the frontline warriors to withstand. We need two captains to go to the front lines to provide support, so we are holding an emergency meeting to select candidates to go and provide support."

After Yamamoto's vice-captain finished reading the document in his hand, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni immediately spoke up: "Gentlemen, the situation at the front is urgent. For the sake of our justice, I am going to send a captain and a vice-captain to provide support. Now, let's announce the selections. The Ninth Division will be going to the front..."

"Wait a minute!" I interrupted Captain Yamamoto, who was about to announce the candidate, and said, "I'm very sorry, Captain-Commander, I'm going... I'm going to provide support!"

"What?" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni asked in confusion.

“I will go to provide support, but I hope that the Captain-Commander can choose another vice-captain to accompany me, because the Sixth Division still needs the management of Vice-Captain Kuchiki!” I said.

After I finished speaking, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was silent for a moment before saying, "Then... the captain who will go to the front line to provide support will be Captain Kuchiki. He will depart tomorrow! Meeting adjourned." He then stood up and walked out through the main entrance.

After Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni left, Kyoraku immediately asked, "Little Tenten, are you serious?"

Not long after Byakuya and I left the First Division barracks, Yoruichi came up to us with her vice-captain, Soi Fon. She stopped me and asked, "Tian, ​​tell me, why did you go?"

Seeing her anxious expression, I hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Yoruichi, I'm sorry! I had my reasons for doing this, please forgive me! I promise you I will come back, and... when I come back, I will marry you!"

Hearing me say that, Yoruichi blushed and said, "What?"

Seeing Yoruichi's slightly flushed face, I smiled and whispered in her ear, "Didn't you hear me? Well, I'll repeat it again: 'I promise you I will definitely come back, and when I do, I will marry you!'" After saying that, I released Yoruichi and smiled at Soi Fon, saying, "Soi Fon, remember, while I'm gone, you must keep a close eye on your captain and make sure she doesn't run off with another man, or I'll use you to pay off my debt!" As soon as I finished speaking, Yoruichi twirled my waist 360 degrees with her fingers.

After parting ways with Yoruichi, Byakuya looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked, "Brother Ten, why did you decide to do this?"

Hearing Byakuya ask that, I looked at him and asked, "You mean I'm not taking you, Byakuya?"

"kindness!"

"Byakuya... Do you really think that what requires two captains to provide support is just a simple Adjuchas-level Hollow? If I'm not mistaken, there are likely Vastodes among these Hollows, hiding among the lower-level Hollows, and who knows what kind of conspiracy they might be plotting. So I don't want you to take the risk. If we both die in battle, who will uphold the honor of the Kuchiki family!"

Hearing this, Byakuya finally understood my predicament and lowered his head, saying, "I... I understand, Brother Ten!"

Chapter 86 Ulquiorra 1

On the border of Soul Society, there were no trees, and those that existed were all withered and dead. The land was desertified, and even the most resilient grasses could only be seen occasionally. A hurricane could whip up a vast cloud of dust. A group of nearly a hundred people was traveling across this land. Unfortunately, a hurricane had struck, forcing them to walk through the sandstorm. Each person wore a brown cloak, and with the swirling yellow dust obscuring their faces, it was impossible to see them clearly. Then, one of the group, seeing a large, withered tree by the roadside, called out, "Captain Kuchiki, Vice-Captain Aizen, we'll reach the front-line base in half a day!"

Hearing what the Shinigami said, Aizen and I stopped. I turned around and glanced at the Shinigami who had rushed to the front lines with me, nodded and said, "Understood! Then... quickly assemble the troops and begin the ceremony!" After saying that, I stretched out my right hand to Aizen beside me.

The Shinigami who saw my movement instinctively formed a circle of ten, extending one hand and overlapping it. Seeing Aizen place his hand on mine, I took a breath and said in a deep voice, "We are now heading to the battlefield of the final battle!"

"Believe it, our blades will never break!!"

"Believe it, our hearts will never give up!!"

"Even if we cannot go to the battlefield together, our iron will will stand with us...!"

"Swear it, even if the earth cracks open...!"

"We too will return here alive!"

After the pre-battle ceremony, I spoke again: "The entire army must speed up its advance and reach the base area before nightfall!"

Everyone immediately shouted, "Yes, Captain Kuchiki!" and quickened their pace.

"Captain Kuchiki, you're really in a hurry!" Aizen said with a smile, adjusting his glasses as he sped up.

Looking at Aizen, I nodded slightly and said, "Is that so? Lieutenant Aizen, I just want to get to the base as soon as possible, so that the casualties at the border will be reduced!"

Aizen immediately apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, please forgive my rudeness!" After that, he stopped talking.

However, when we arrived at one of the bases in half the original time, we were surprised to find that all the Grim Reapers in that base had been wiped out. The oasis grassland was covered with bloodstains and fragments of the Grim Reaper armor left behind by the Hollows.

One of the Grim Reapers in the group immediately asked in surprise, "What on earth is going on?!" and scanned the scene around.

After carefully inspecting the base inside and out, Aizen walked up to me and said, "Captain Kuchiki, it seems that all the Shinigami in this base have been killed in battle. Judging from the remaining spiritual pressure around, they should be traces left by the Hollows' Cero!"

After listening to Aizen's report, I nodded and said, "I understand!" Then I scanned the battlefield and quickly noticed something amiss with a sand dune on the edge of the oasis. Its presence was so out of place that I immediately shouted, "Martial law!"

As soon as I shouted, all the Shinigami drew their Zanpakuto, standing back to back in a defensive stance. At the same time, I raised my right hand, aimed at the sand dune, and shouted, "Hado #63 Thunder Roar Cannon!" Golden lightning immediately erupted from my hand, striking the seemingly peaceful sand dune like a dragon, accompanied by a deafening roar. A shrill, ear-piercing scream rang out, and then the sand dune vanished, revealing nearly a hundred massive, black-bodied Gillian before us.

"Kilian!!" The Grim Reaper, who had never seen Kylian before, immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Looking at the several Gillians who were somewhat crippled by the Kido, I frowned and said, "It's a barrier created by a Hollow with special abilities. They probably killed all the Shinigami here and hid, preparing to attack the Shinigami who came to support or pass through here!"

As soon as I finished speaking, one of the Grim Reapers immediately asked, "What should we do now... Captain Kuchiki?"

Seeing the Gillian begin using Cero, I immediately said, "Need I say more? Of course... kill them all!" With that, I shattered one Gillian's Cero with a single strike, then used Shunpo to dash to another Gillian, swung my Zanpakuto once, and then flashed back to another Hollow, swinging my Zanpakuto again. After repeating this several times, I landed steadily on the ground. The moment I landed, the Hollows I had attacked let out a piercing scream, followed by a burst of white spiritual pressure erupting from their bodies, forming a huge gash. Then, the Hollows slowly vanished from their spots.

Seeing that I had easily killed more than a dozen Gillian, the remaining Shinigami were immediately invigorated and prepared to rush up to help me. However, Aizen stopped them and said, "No need. This battle only requires Captain Kuchiki." As he spoke, he pushed up his glasses and revealed a meaningful smile.

After I used Azure Fire Drop to shatter the last Gillian's Cero, I used Shunpo to reappear in front of this Gillian, slowly waving my Zanpakuto. Then, I used Shunpo to return to the front of the group, turned my back to everyone, lightly flicked my Zanpakuto, slowly sheathed it, and then gently brushed my bangs.

Looking at my back, everyone except Aizen thought to themselves, "Wow, amazing! He actually killed nearly a hundred Gillian-level Hollows without even releasing his Zanpakuto. Is this the strength of the Sixth Division Captain?"

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared to my left and attacked me with one hand. In that instant, I drew my Zanpakuto, which I had already sheathed, and used it to block 'his' attack. The Shinigami who were about to come over were stunned, because they discovered that the enemy was actually a Hollow, and what I had blocked with my Zanpakuto... was actually one of the enemy's 'hands'.

Looking at the 'hand' covered in bony scales that was blocked by the Zanpakuto, I slowly said, "A human-like physique, powerful spiritual pressure, you are... Vasto Lorde!"

The owner of this hand was a Hollow with a helmet-like bone mask on his head. Some parts of the mask had fallen off, unlike the Arrancar created by Aizen later. His mask had fallen off on its own, not by external force, making him a true Vasto Lorde-class Hollow. Hearing my question, he immediately replied calmly, "That's right!"

I immediately smiled, used 'Instant Step' to move behind him, and asked, "So... what's your name?"

After I finished asking the question, Vastod, who was standing in front of me, disappeared, and then I heard the other person's voice behind me: "Ulquiorra... Shifa!"

Chapter 87 Ulquiorra 2

Looking at Ulquiorra before me, my expression instantly turned icy, and I slowly asked, "Did you kill the Grim Reapers stationed here?"

Ulquiorra immediately replied calmly, "No! I have no interest in the weak. They were all killed by Carnelock, it has nothing to do with me!"

Upon hearing this, I immediately asked in surprise, "What? Kahnlock...!" But before I could finish speaking, my chest was pierced by an arm, and at the same time I heard a sharp voice laughing and saying, "That's right, I killed them all. Goodbye, mighty Grim Reaper!"

The Grim Reaper watching immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Captain Kuchiki!"

But just as the owner of the arm was laughing happily, I appeared behind him and said calmly, "...Why say goodbye! You despicable Vastod...Karnlock!" As soon as I finished speaking, my corpse on his arm turned into my captain's haori.

Kahnlock's expression immediately turned ferocious as he glared at me and demanded, "What just happened? Death!"

"Why should I tell such a despicable bastard..." Just as I was speaking, a 'Cero' attacked me from the side, but I easily blocked it with one hand, because it was launched by a Gillian. Turning my head, I saw that while I, Helquiorra, and Carnelock were fighting, a group of nearly a hundred Adjuchas led at least a thousand Gillians to surround me and all the Death Gods.

Kahnlock immediately burst into arrogant laughter: "Haha... Death God, you don't have to tell us, just die! Kill those Hollows!"
