The Kurosaki Family's Trip to Soul Society

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's sudden enthusiasm caused Tsuna to hide at the Shiba Clan for two days. The reason he didn't return to the World of the Living was because there were other things to do in Soul Society, and most importantly, a certain Shiba Yuzu had changed his surname was about to return.

In Rukongai, in front of the Shiba Clan, Tsuna knocked the locator Urahara had given him to the ground and then waited patiently.

"Why hasn't Dad come yet?" After waiting for only a short while, Ichigo started pacing anxiously, fearing that if he encountered danger in the Dangai, Isshin and the others would also encounter it.

"Stop spinning it, it's making my eyes dizzy," Tsuna complained. It was the first time he'd ever seen Ichigo so impatient.

"Tsuna, is this guy worried that his aunt and uncle will run into Kotsutotsu?" Tatsuki immediately saw what Ichigo was thinking.

"Don't worry, Isshin Ichigo n't like you; he's not that unlucky," Tsuna comforted him.

Upon hearing this, Ichigo started arguing with Tsuna again, "Tsuna, are you implying that the last Kotsutotsu was my fault? Why wasn't it just bad luck?"

Tsuna chuckled dryly. Could he say that with Ichigo's physique, he would encounter Kotsutotsu even if he entered the Dangai?

Just as Ichigo and Tsuna were staring at each other, a spatial fluctuation appeared in the open space in front of the Shiba Clan's house. Kurosaki Isshin, dressed in Shinigami Uniform, walked out of the Dangai carrying his two daughters, followed by Masaki Kurosaki.

"Dad, why did you bring Yuzu and Karin along?" Ichigo felt the Dangai was still dangerous; what if something went wrong?

Isshin put his two daughters down, scratched his head, and said, "I originally wanted them to stay at the Ishida Residence for a couple of days, but your Mom insisted."

Masa glared at Isshin and said irritably, "How dare you say that? We've been married for over ten years, and you've never told me you have family here. Of course, the whole family should be here for the first time I come home; it's a matter of courtesy!"

"That idiot dad wouldn't think that far ahead," Karin retorted.

"Dad just wants to come here for his honeymoon with Mom!" The Yuzu became even more determined in his decision.

Tsuna and Tatsuki didn't join in; in their view, someone else was more qualified to greet the Kurosaki Family.

"Isshin Yixin, welcome back!"

Ichigo aside, behind him stood the splendidly Kūkaku Shiba and Ganju Shiba. They had abandoned their usual flamboyant style of dress and pulled out clothes from the bottom of their trunks, which symbolized the Shiba Clan's former noble status. This was the most grand welcome ceremony that Kūkaku Shiba had prepared for Isshin.

"Nice to meet you all, Auntie and my two younger sisters. I am Kūkaku, and this is my younger brother, Ganju. Welcome to the Shiba Clan."

Kūkaku Shiba. She didn't know how long it had been since she had observed aristocratic etiquette, but today, to welcome the Kurosaki Family, it was worth it.

As soon as Kūkaku finished speaking, a series of fireworks went off into the sky with the synchronized actions of Koganehiko and Ginhiko. Kūkaku didn't care whether it was day or night; as the number one pyrotechnician in Soul Society, she would never skimp on this level of prestige.

After Masa and her two daughters introduced themselves, Isshin laughed Isshin, feeling very happy. It felt so good to bring the whole family back to his hometown.

However, Isshin only laughed twice before abruptly stopping. After the welcoming ceremony, Kūkaku angrily kicked Isshin, who had been holding back for a long time.

Kūkaku's expression was like that of a demon, and with each punch and kick he landed on Isshin, he would say a critical comment about Isshin's past behavior.

"Laugh! You still know how to laugh! You ran off to the World of the Living without a word, do you know how worried we were about you!"

"You dare change your surname! What have my Shiba Clan ever done to wrong you?!"

Tsuna laughed out loud. He had said that Kūkaku's bold and unrestrained personality could never tolerate a formal welcome. Wearing her old dress was already the greatest respect she could show Isshin. Her current punches and kicks were just venting her frustration from years of being alone and helpless.

"Um, Mom, let's go inside first." Ichigo couldn't stand it anymore. He held his forehead and used his body to shield Isshin from being beaten, welcoming the rest of his family into the Shiba Clan.

"Masa, save me!" Isshin's pitiful voice rang out Ichigo. Ichigo subtly shifted his feet, trying to conceal the bloody scene behind him.

"Oh dear, Isshin, you have to be punished for doing something wrong," Masa, tilting her head and cupping her face in her hands. Unfortunately, Isshin couldn't see her adorable expression.

"Reflect on your actions, you idiot father." Karin didn't even glance at them.

"You must repent properly, Dad." Yuzu was a little better, but not by much. He just poked his head out to say hello before following Ichigo into the Shiba Clan.

Poor Isshin didn't hold a high position in his family's hearts, and no one sympathized with him. He could only let Kūkaku vent his emotions on him.

Isshin knew that Kūkaku hadn't had an easy time these past few years, and he was just venting his emotions. The punches that landed on him weren't heavy; he yelled loudly just to make Kūkaku feel better.

Finally, after a long commotion, Isshin was allowed to enter the Shiba Clan. After paying respects to their ancestors, the Kurosaki Residence enjoyed a pleasant meal at the Kūkaku Shiba residence.

Thanks to the Shiba Clan having long since left the ranks of the Five Great Noble Houses and having no formalities, coupled with Kūkaku's carefree personality and the company of familiar people like Tsuna, the Kurosaki Residence had a great time.

After the meal, Isshin picked his teeth and gazed into the distance from the doorway. He was looking in the direction of Seireitei. Because the Kurosaki Residence's clinic was a small one, Isshin had only given himself two days off. This time, in addition to going back to the Shiba Clan, he also had to go to Seireitei.

Although Isshin is no longer the captain of the Gotei 13, he did violate the rules of Soul Society by abandoning the 10th Division without any notice and choosing to live a World of the Living of ignoring the rules.

Even with a thousand reasons, Isshin was in the wrong first. He failed to handle the proper handover of the 10th Division properly, which is Isshin's inescapable responsibility. He betrayed Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's trust.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto already being merciful by not joining forces with the Central 46 to relentlessly hunt down Isshin; Isshin didn't believe that the thousand-year-old man wouldn't guess that he was hiding in the World of the Living.

Since he has chosen to come back, it is Isshin must do to go back to the 10th Division and report to the First Division to fulfill the responsibilities of the former 10th Division captain.

Time is short and the mission is heavy; Isshin and his Isshin will be setting off for Seireitei.

"Are you still worried?" Masa walked over and took Isshin's hand with concern.

"Why don't you stay here? If anything goes wrong, I'll have Kūkaku send you back to the World of the Living," Isshin said.

Isshin's biggest worry right now is entering the Seireitei. If Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto really holds him accountable for his sins and implicates his family, he would be extremely unwilling. It's only because Masa is persuading him that he would never return to Soul Society before his children come of age.

"Isshin, I believe in you, and please believe in me too. We have the ability to protect our family." In Masa's palm lay the Illusion spike that Tsuna had given her, which could instantly restore her to her peak fighting power.

"But..."

"Dad, I'm still here, aren't I? With my current strength, no ordinary captain can defeat me. I will protect Mom and my sister." Ichigo silently added in his heart, "In the name of Ichigo!"

Ichigo had already noticed Isshin's forced smile at the dinner table, and now, as he followed Isshin out, he overheard his parents' concerns.

Overwhelmed Isshin emotion, he suddenly felt as if his son had truly grown up. "Ichigo..."

However, before Isshin could even get into the emotional part, he heard Ichigo's impatient voice, "Even if a divination really occurs, we can just send Tsuna out to cover the retreat. He's definitely involved anyway."

Ichigo guessed that Tsuna must have been involved in his parents' decision to come to Soul Society, and based on this reasoning, Ichigo's intuition was surprisingly accurate.

"Ichigo, how could you make things difficult for Little Tsuna?" Masa scolded him somewhat disapprovingly.

"Yeah, Ichigo actually made me cover their retreat, I'm so sad~" Tsuna said sarcastically from behind Ichigo.

"Damn it, judging from the way you talked to that old man, you can't possibly be afraid of him, right?!" Ichigo may not like to use his brain, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. The way Tsuna and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto talked didn't show the respect or fear that other Bleach had for Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

"Don't worry, Uncle, with me here, no one in Seireitei can touch you, not even that old man Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, I'm telling you!" Tsuna said, patting his chest.

"Wouldn't this... be too much trouble for you?" Masa asked.

"Look at what you're saying, Auntie. I've troubled you a lot over the years. Isn't it true that friends help each other out?" Tsuna stretched. "I just promised Yuzu and Karin that I'd take them to see the place where Uncle used to work."

"What? Kid, why didn't you discuss this with me first?" Isshin exclaimed dramatically.

"What? Are you worried that your already limited image as a great father will be further tarnished?" Tsuna said with a smile. "I'm really looking forward to hearing what your crew members think of their former captain."

At this point, Tsuna was quite curious about how the 10th Division operated before he met Toshiro.

First of all, Rangiku Matsumoto, Isshin's Isshin -hand man, is not a diligent person. Even now, most of the team's tasks are done by Toshiro himself, and Isshin is also a lazy guy.

After Isshin and Rangiku recruited Toshiro into the team, the two unscrupulous guys didn't hesitate to dump all the team's administrative and paperwork on Toshiro.

Before they met Toshiro, Tsuna was very curious about who was in charge of the 10th Division's daily affairs.

Isshin's entire body turned ashen. He could already imagine how Rangiku Matsumoto, that loose-lipped guy, would spill all his little secrets in front of his daughter.

After Tsuna farewell to Kūkaku Shiba, along with the Kurosaki Family, headed towards the Seireitei.

This time, Tsuna didn't bring anyone else. Besides going to the 10th Division with Kurosaki Isshin, he had another matter to attend to. If a fight really broke out, Tsuna wasn't confident he could protect a large group of people in front of the "strongest Bleach in a thousand years."
