Soul Society.
The birth of Araki and Unohana Retsu's daughter shocked the entire Gotei 13.
The division captains, who were usually occupied with countless duties and held lofty positions, came one after another to visit Araki in the 4th Division's hospital ward...
Since Unohana Retsu had only just given birth and was still rather weak, Araki carried their child out himself. He soothed the baby in his arms while greeting the disciples who had come to visit, keeping them from disturbing Unohana while she recovered.
When the captains saw Araki alone with the child in the reception room outside the ward, they all revealed surprised expressions.
"Is that Teacher Araki's child?"
"The moment she was born, she had already reached heights ordinary people could never attain and possessed incomparable power! She truly is strong..."
"I just wonder whether this child inherited Teacher Araki and Mistress Unohana's extraordinary talents as well?! If she inherited all of those gifts, then her potential will reach a level beyond our imagination..."
Aizen Sōsuke looked at the tiny infant in Araki's arms and murmured. Perhaps due to his long-term experiments, Aizen had become somewhat obsessed. Whenever he encountered someone, his first reaction was to instinctively assess their potential and strength.
"So cute~"
"As expected of Teacher Araki and Mistress Unohana's child~"
Gin glanced at Aizen beside him. Beneath his narrowed eyes was a fierce gleam that was both chilling and painfully sharp.
"Heh heh..."
Aizen merely smiled faintly after hearing Gin's words.
Aizen was a clever man. Of course, he understood that Ichimaru Gin was trying to remind him that the little one in their teacher's arms was not someone he could casually lay hands on. He should not try anything with the child, or they would both be killed if Teacher Araki discovered it.
