Looking back, Ikkaku Madarame was carrying his Zanpakuto and walking quickly towards them, saying as he went, "You... you think you can just leave after defeating everyone in the Eleventh Division? Not so easy!" He then looked at the 'corpse' lying on the ground and said, "Sigh... what a disgrace! To be taken down by one person, what a disgrace to that lord!"

Just as Madarame finished speaking, Ayasegawa Yumichika stepped out from behind him and said, "Really... not pretty at all!"

Just as Ayasegawa Yumichika finished speaking, Abarai Renji, a man with long red hair tied in a ponytail and a strange tattoo on his forehead, stepped forward and said, "Yeah! That's really awful!"

"The third seat of Madarame, the fifth seat of Ayase, and the sixth seat of Abarai!" a Shinigami lying on the ground exclaimed in surprise.

Renji Abarai quickly scanned the Grim Reaper on the ground, a smile spreading across his face. He then said to Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayase, "Ikkaku-nii, Yumichika, how about I take care of this opponent?"

Madarame Ikkaku glanced at the confident Renji and said with a smile, "Alright! But don't lose too badly!"

Yumichika turned his head and said, "I'm not interested in an ugly person who doesn't even want to show their face!"

Upon hearing their words, Abarai Renji immediately smiled and said, "Thank you very much! Brother Ikkaku, Yumichika!" After saying that, he walked up to me, pointed his sword at me, and said, "Abarai Renji, the sixth seat of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, you don't need to tell me your name, because you only need to remember mine!"

Chapter 90 Roar, Zabimaru!

"Because all you need to do is remember my name!" Renji Abarai declared with a loud laugh, then assumed an attacking stance.

I immediately grabbed my hat brim and asked with a smile, "Oh... Renji Abarai? To be defeated by someone you... don't even know the name of, is that really... okay? It doesn't seem like what that guy taught you!" As soon as I finished speaking, Renji Abarai attacked. He quickly moved in front of me and slashed down with his sword.

"Clang!" A crisp collision sound rang out. Renji Abarai looked at everything in front of him in surprise. He thought that his sword would be blocked by mine, but he never expected that I would block his Zanpakuto with just one finger. What surprised him even more was that the finger that came into contact with the blade was not injured at all, not even a tiny wound.

Although Abarai Renji was incredibly surprised, he still quickly retreated, gripping his Zanpakuto tightly and staring at me, cold sweat streaming down his face. I immediately withdrew my right hand, which had been blocking the Zanpakuto, and looked at my fingers with a smile, saying, "What a dull blade! I had some expectations for you!"

Ayasegawa Yumichika immediately smiled and said, "Gathering spiritual power at your fingertips to defend against attacks! Just like the captain!"

Upon hearing my provocative words, Abarai Renji immediately shouted angrily, "Don't look down on me!" He then raised his sword and slashed at me.

After I easily blocked nearly a hundred attacks, Renji retreated again, then stroked the blade with his other hand and shouted, "Roar! Zabimaru!" As soon as he finished shouting, the Zanpakuto in his hand immediately transformed into a saw-like weapon, and he charged forward again.

Upon seeing that Renji Abarai had already used his Shikai to fight, Yumichika Ayase immediately said, "This is really not beautiful at all. He's already started using Shikai. Does his opponent's spiritual pressure really require him to do this?! Right... Ikkaku!" As Yumichika spoke, he turned his gaze to Ikkaku, but Ikkaku was still watching the battle intently, as if he hadn't heard him, and his expression was very excited.

“One jiao…one jiao! I’m asking you a question, did you hear me?” Yumichika asked hurriedly.

Ichikaku then slowly turned his head towards him and said with a smile, "I heard that! But Yumichika... you're wrong! That guy is very strong... very powerful!"

Yumichika asked in confusion, "What...you must be joking! Ikkaku, although I don't know how he managed to block Renji's Zanpakuto without using it, his spiritual pressure is only about the same as the fourth or third seats of other squads!"

Ichika immediately laughed and said, "Really? Then take a look at his feet, Yumichika!"

Under Ikkaku's guidance, Yumichika looked at my feet and his eyes widened in surprise. He exclaimed, "I see! Ikkaku! He's really strong. He didn't even move his feet under Renji's powerful attacks. He just stood still... and he could block all of Renji's attacks! Renji is in real danger."

Renji jumped back again, shouting, "Die!" Then the blade of the Zabimaru sword in his hand instantly extended and attacked me. But this time, not only was his attack blocked, but I also tightly gripped the tip of the Zabimaru with two fingers, making it impossible to retract.

After grabbing Zabimaru, I calmly said, "Hado 11: Lightning Bolt!" As soon as I finished speaking, a bolt of lightning immediately shot along Zabimaru's blade towards Renji. However, just as the lightning was about to strike Renji, Zabimaru, which I had been holding, was pried open by a weapon resembling a spear. My Hado lost its transmission medium and thus became ineffective.

Ichikaku held the now-released 'Hozukimaru' in his hand, spinning it around, and said, "That was dangerous...that was dangerous! Renji! Didn't I tell you not to lose so badly!"

“Yes! It’s not beautiful at all!” Yumi said, holding the now-liberated 'Vine Peacock' in her hands.

"Ah... I'm sorry, Ikkaku-nii!" Renji said a little embarrassed.

Ikkaku stopped spinning the 'Hozuki Maru' in his hand, assumed a fighting stance, and said with a smile full of fighting spirit, "Ikkaku Madarame, the third seat of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, reporting for duty!" After saying that, he rushed forward.

Just as I was locked in battle with Ikkaku, the alarm bells of Seireitei rang: "Traveler invasion...Traveler invasion! The White Path Gate has been invaded by Travellers! Please send nearby captains to provide support! I repeat, the White Path Gate has been invaded by Travellers! Please send nearby captains to provide support!"

Matsumoto Rangiku, who was about to go out for a drink through the White Gate, immediately complained upon hearing the voice, "It's such a rare opportunity to go out! I must teach this traveler a lesson...!" With that, she used Shunpo to speed up and head towards the White Gate.

At that moment, Ikkaku forced me back a step from my previous position with a move similar to a 'counterattack'. Then he smiled and said to me, "One step... you took a step back, which proves that you are not as strong as you thought!" After saying that, the 'Hozuki Maru' in his hand conjured up a series of spear shadows and rushed forward.

Just then, Matsumoto Rangiku arrived. As she was about to come to help, Yumichika stopped her, saying, "Vice-Captain Matsumoto, please don't disturb Ikkaku's battle!" Rangiku glanced at the serious Yumichika, immediately lowered her hand that was about to draw her sword, and put it on her waist, saying, "I really can't do anything with you guys, but remember to treat us to a meal!"

Upon seeing Rangiku agree, Yumichika immediately smiled and said, "Of course!" Then he turned his attention back to my battle with Ikkaku. After seeing his agreement, Rangiku immediately shouted, "Ikkaku Madarame! Good luck!"

Because of that sound, my gaze was drawn to it. Although it was only for a moment, a smug smile immediately appeared on Ikkaku's face. The 'Hozuki Maru' in his hand suddenly transformed into a three-section staff, instantly increasing the attack range. The blade instantly sliced ​​across the top of my hat.

Ichikaku immediately retracted his three-section staff, holding one section in his hand and spinning it around. He smiled smugly and said, "Ha... You're still far from being able to concentrate on the battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, I nodded immediately and said, "You're right, Ikkaku!" As I spoke, my round hat split in two, revealing a face that bore a striking resemblance to Byakuya Kuchiki. Upon seeing my face, Ikkaku froze, his smile vanishing. He couldn't forget that face, and he murmured, "Kuchi... Captain Kuchiki!"

Renji, who was standing nearby, immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Sixth Division Captain, Kuchiki... Byakuya!"

Upon hearing Renji's words, Yumichika explained from the side, "Renji, it's true that he is the captain of the Sixth Division, but he is not Captain Kuchiki Byakuya, but Captain Kuchiki Ten!"

"Captain Kuchiki, what is that?" Renji asked immediately in surprise.

"The former captain of the Sixth Division, the captain who once defeated our captain who has the title of 'Kenpachi'!" Yumichika said solemnly from the side.

Meanwhile, I smiled and said to Ikkaku, "Long time no see, Ikkaku! Eleventh Division... is he still the captain?"

Hearing my question, Yijiao laughed and said, "Of course! Otherwise, I wouldn't be here!"

I glanced at the Shinigami who had rushed to my aid and laughed, "I didn't expect it to be this troublesome! I shouldn't have done this!" As soon as I finished speaking, a captain-level spiritual pressure erupted from my body. Sensing my spiritual pressure, all the Shinigami who had come to my aid stood still, not daring to move forward another step. Only Rangiku, Ikkaku, and a few others were able to move.

Meanwhile, the captains who were wondering about the identity of this traveler all showed different expressions after sensing this spiritual pressure. Some were surprised, some were confused, some were happy, and some were excited. The surprised ones were several of the people who became captains when I disappeared. The confused ones were those who did not know my existence or had sensed my spiritual pressure. The happy ones were all my acquaintances. The only one who was excited was Kenpachi Zaraki.

Sure enough, not long after I unleashed my spiritual pressure, a member of the 'Secret Mobile Unit' appeared behind me. He knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Kuchiki, Captain Yamamoto requests your transfer to the First Division, and... welcome back, Lord Kuchiki Ten!"

After that 'Secret Mobile Division' left, I smiled and withdrew my spiritual pressure, then said to Ikkaku, "You've gotten stronger. I couldn't even beat you when I was only using the strength of a third seat!" After saying that, I turned and walked towards the First Division's barracks.

After I left, Renji said angrily, "He said he only used three seats of spiritual power, how is that possible?"

One-Cornered laughed and said to him, "Nothing, impossible, because he's really strong, terrifyingly strong!" Then he turned to the Grim Reapers who had been lying on the ground and said, "You bunch of disgraceful bastards, get up! Stand up straight right now!"

Just as Ichikaku was unleashing his power, Rangiku, watching my slowly disappearing figure, murmured, "Was it him?"

Chapter 91 Rukia Kuchiki

When I entered the captain's room of the First Division, all the captains were already there. As soon as I walked in, I bowed to Yamamoto and said, "It's been a long time... Captain-Commander Yamamoto!"

Seeing my reaction, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni immediately nodded and said in a stern tone, "Former captain of the sixth division of the Gotei 13... Kuchiki Ten, tell me the reason for your disappearance of nearly a hundred years!"

Hearing his question, I had no choice but to speak: "Ninety years ago, my support unit was surrounded by a Hollow army, including two Vastodes and one hundred and thirty-three Adjuchas. After Vice-Captain Aizen and the others broke through the encirclement, I killed one Vastode and several Hollows... and was seriously wounded! Subsequently, during the battle with the Hollows, I fell into the desert below..."

Upon hearing this, Gin Ichimaru immediately smiled and asked, "Ah... below the Hueco Mundo desert! What kind of place is that?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni immediately interrupted, "Ichimaru Gin, don't interrupt..."

Gin Ichimaru immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Captain-Commander Yamamoto!"

I glanced at Gin Ichimaru, who had fallen silent, and spoke again: "That was a place known as the Great Hollow Forest by the Hollows. There, I spent my days healing myself, killing Hollows, and searching for a way out, until I was finally able to return here!" After saying that, I took out the recorder that Urahara had given me from my pocket and held out my hand, saying: "This recorder was given to me by Kisuke Urahara, the captain of the 12th Division. It records the number of Hollows I killed in Hueco Mundo!"

After I finished speaking, Mayuri Kurotsuchi immediately laughed in his extremely unpleasant voice and said, "Heh... How interesting!" Then he came up to me and said, "Kisuke Urahara, what a nostalgic name! But... it's a pity that he's no longer the captain of the 12th Division!"

Looking at Mayuri Kurotsuchi's nauseatingly false exterior, I said calmly, "What do you mean?"

Upon hearing my question, Mayuri Kurotsuchi immediately laughed again and said, "Let me introduce myself! Captain of the 12th Division of the Gotei 13 and the second Director of the Technical Bureau... Mayuri Kurotsuchi."

"So, as the head of the Technology Bureau, you should be able to accurately count the number of Hollows I killed. Then I'll trouble you!" With that, I handed him the recorder and said to Captain Yamamoto, "Captain-Commander Yamamoto, could you please have these captains who became captains after I left introduce themselves? They're all unfamiliar faces!" Then I said to Mayuri Kurotsuchi, "You don't need to!"

After I finished speaking, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigeaki immediately nodded. Then Soi Fon, Ichimaru Gin, Komamura Sajin, and Tosen Kaname began to introduce themselves one by one. After they finished their self-introductions, I immediately smiled and said, "I didn't expect that there would be so many new captains in just a hundred years. Soul Society is really full of talent! Why don't I see the captain of the 10th Division?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Kyoraku Shunsui immediately said, "Um... Little Tenten, although I don't want to say it, the captain of the 10th Division died in the battle against Hueco Mundo a while ago! Do you want to... become the new captain of the 10th Division?"

I immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Captain Jing! I think I'll pass! The position of captain is simply too much of a responsibility for me!"

After I finished speaking, Aizen, who had been silent until now, stepped out of the ranks and said, "Captain Kuchiki, please don't say that. If even you can't be a captain, then I'm afraid there won't be any other Shinigami in the entire Soul Society who can be a captain!"

I immediately waved my hand and said, "Please don't say that, Captain Aizen! What I want to do most right now is to enjoy life! Well then... I'll take my leave!" After saying that, I turned around and walked out of the captain's office.

As soon as I stepped out, several soldiers dressed in what appeared to be night-clothes appeared before me and said, "Lord Kuchiki Ten, please come with us!"

Looking at the group of people in front of me, I couldn't help but laugh and say, "The Central 46, huh!"

Purification Tower

"Kuchiki Ten, why didn't you contact Soul Society during the hundred years you were missing!"

"Because I lost my way in Hueco Mundo, and I was also unable to establish any contact with Soul Society!"

"Therefore, in order to prevent you from doing anything detrimental to Soul Society..."

"We will be monitoring your every move!"

"Do you need to imprison me again like last time?" I said, unleashing four times the spiritual pressure of the captain. "Twice... You have already trampled on my honor twice. I don't want it to happen a third time. We who abide by the rules do not want to be forced to break them!" After saying that, I turned and left the basement, leaving behind a group of old guys who were already suffocating under the pressure and a look of astonishment.

—————————————————————— Divider ————————————————————————

Rukia Kuchiki was feeling very down and nervous. She was down because she had recently killed her most respected vice-captain with her own hands, and nervous because her older brother, Byakuya Kuchiki, the head of the Kuchiki clan, was sitting beside her, waiting with her for the older brother she had never met.

Rukia Kuchiki thought to herself, "I wonder what kind of person Byakuya is referring to as his 'big brother'... Kuchiki... Wow! I hear that name everywhere, both at school and in the Gotei 13. But it seems he encountered a Hollow named Vasto Lorde, whose strength surpassed even a captain's, when he went to the front lines to provide support a hundred years ago, and then disappeared without a trace. It's said he died in battle. I never expected him to return at this time. I wonder if he's like Byakuya? If so, what kind of attitude will he have towards me, his adopted sister?"

Just as Rukia was imagining what I looked like, I arrived at the entrance of the Kuchiki residence. Many maids dressed in what resembled shrine maiden outfits and male guards wielding weapons resembling forks stood in two rows in front of me. The butler, Hiratsuka Shigeki, stood in the middle of them. Upon seeing me approach, he immediately bowed excitedly and said, "Welcome back, Lord Ten!"

Looking at the group of people who were still bent over, I nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Yes, thank you for your hard work, Butler Hiratsuka!" I then walked past them and headed towards the hall, and Hiratsuka Shigeki immediately turned around and followed behind me after I passed by him.

Upon arriving at the hall, Byakuya and Rukia were standing in front of the door. I waved to Hiratsuka Shigeki to step back, and then slowly walked up to Byakuya.

Byakuya and Rukia immediately bowed and said, "Welcome back, Brother Ten!"

I immediately said, "I'm back, Byakuya," and then looked at Rukia beside him and asked calmly, "Who...is she?"

Hearing my question, Byakuya glanced at Rukia, then looked at me slowly and said, "Rukia... Kuchiki Rukia! She's the younger sister I adopted from Rukongai before my brother Ten returned!"

"What... a sister adopted from Rukongai? You're saying you gave a soul from Rukongai the surname of our Kuchiki clan!" I asked angrily after Byakuya finished speaking.

Upon seeing my expression, Byakuya immediately bowed his head and apologized, "I'm so sorry, Brother Ten, actually..."

Before I could finish speaking, I raised my hand to signal him not to say anything more, and then said to Rukia beside her, "Rukia? Come here!"

When Rukia heard me say that, she immediately turned to look at Byakuya beside her. However, after seeing Byakuya's expressionless face, she turned back and replied, "Yes, Brother Ten!" Then she walked up to me.

After Rukia walked up to me, I slowly asked, "When were you adopted by Byakuya?"

“About ten years ago…!” Rukia stammered.

"Ten years... Haven't you learned any noble etiquette in these ten years? I've been here for so long, and you haven't even brought me a cup of tea. But... how adorable!" I said, suddenly pressing Rukia's head with one hand and laughing.

My sudden change in tone surprised Rukia; she practically had several question marks above her head to express her feelings. I patted her head and continued with a smile, "I never expected Byakuya to adopt a sister. Although you've only been here for ten years, thank you anyway! Because I'm a terrible older brother!" Then, I smiled and said to Byakuya, "Byakuya, tell the servants to prepare food. I haven't eaten Soul Society food for a hundred years!" After saying that, I continued chatting with Rukia with a smile.

After seeing Rukia and me chatting and laughing, Byakuya seemed relieved and immediately nodded, saying, "I understand, Brother Ten!"

Chapter 92 Compensate Me, Soi Fon

The next day, I invited all the captains to the Kuchiki residence. In the end, all the captains except for the captain of the First Division who couldn't leave attended. Looking at the captains present, I smiled and said, "Thank you very much for accepting my invitation despite your busy schedules! Please don't be shy!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Kyoraku Shunsui immediately laughed and said, "Don't say that... Little Tenten, as long as there's good sake, that's all that matters!"

I immediately smiled and said, "If you want good wine... there's plenty! Please enjoy!" As I spoke, I gestured to the maid to bring a bottle of wine that was a thousand years old to him. Upon smelling the aroma of the wine, Kyoraku Shunsui immediately stopped talking, picked up the wine, and drank it without any regard for his image.

Ise Nanao, who was standing to the side, immediately adjusted her glasses and said, "Captain, mind your image!"
