As expected, Unohana Retsu's gaze towards him suddenly became meaningful: "Oh, I'm just a mere captain of the Fourth Division. How could Aizen-san think that simply sparring with me would have serious consequences?"
""
Aizen wanted to slap himself.
I'm focusing too much on Gin Ichimaru today; it's gotten to the point of brain damage.
How could a simple sparring match between captains have serious consequences, especially since it wasn't even a demonic collision with considerable destructive power?
Without unleashing spiritual pressure, the mere interaction would cause special consequences.
Unless someone can't control themselves.
Fortunately, Aizen had cultivated his composure well over the years, and with just a slight raise of his eyebrows, he calmly said, "Even Captain Kyoraku and Captain Ukitake call Captain Unohana 'senpai,' so even if she is the captain of the Medical Squad, she must be very strong after so many years."
I'm worried I won't be able to control myself then.
"Yeah"
A smile, like a crescent moon, appeared at the corner of his eye. It was unclear whether the captain believed him or not, but his next gentle question immediately put Aizen in a precarious position: "But Captain Aizen, are you implying that I'm very old?"
Wow, you can be a little more reasonable.
You should know your own age, right? You're driving me crazy!
Aizen sighed, inwardly complaining, but his eyes remained unwavering as he stated directly, "No, Captain Unohana is still very young."
A gentle and beautiful woman like you is like an older sister.
"Heh, Aizen-san, you really know how to talk."
Retsu Unohana smiled and shook her head, but then followed up on Aizen's words by asking, "In that case, Aizen-san is unwilling to grant his sister's wish?"
The Aizen sank.
This woman is absolutely unreasonable!
They'll bring up sparring at the slightest opportunity, but who would dare fight you?
This... the original Kenpachi, whenever she calmly makes a move, or engages in Kido combat, it means she's just playing around.
Once she draws her sword, there's no hope of saving her; just wait to die, goodbye! Although this rule doesn't apply to Aizen, if you really fight her, she'll definitely go into a berserk, bloodthirsty state, and at that point, it'll be incredibly difficult to end the fight.
However, Aizen still hesitated.
He could refuse Retsu Unohana; after all, it wasn't the first time.
If he really doesn't want to, Retsu Unohana might use words to provoke and provoke him, but she would never take forceful action. After a bit of wrangling, she could get rid of him.
It's always the same.
He could tolerate it for a few days, a few months, and even a few years, but the thought of being watched by a woman for hundreds of years sent chills down his spine.
In particular, Aizen's current actions are clearly anti-Soul Garden and anti-Soul King. Even with his Kyoka Suigetsu, frequent contact will inevitably lead Unohana Retsu to discover some irregularities.
Seemingly sensing Aizen's intentions, Unohana Retsu's eyes lit up immediately.
Pressing her advantage, she continued, "Actually, my frequent visits can affect Captain Aizen's work. If Captain Aizen can grant my wish, I will reduce the frequency of my visits to the Fifth Division in the future."
"Okay, it's settled."
With a sigh and a shake of his head, Aizen, resigned to reality, confirmed the question once more.
"certainly!"
Aizen was very satisfied with Unohana Retsu's resolute reply.
He still believed in the character of the original Kenpachi.
Many years later, Aizen realized that he was still too inexperienced.
"Alright, come with me somewhere."
With that, Aizen led Unohana out of the Fifth Division.
Unohana's face showed both doubt and anticipation regarding Aizen's actions, but she didn't ask any further questions.
Before long, they arrived at a vast underground base.
That's right, this is still Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihouin's private base.
Many things here have disappeared. Apart from the hot spring, everything else was probably secretly taken away by Yoruichi Shihouin.
Since that's the case, Aizen wouldn't mind openly taking it for himself.
He certainly wouldn't bring Unohana to his training grounds to fight, since she's not one of his own.
"What a spacious place. Is this Aizen-kun's secret base?"
Looking around with surprise in her eyes, Unohana Retsu asked with interest.
"no."
"what"
"This is a base I found by chance, and I later used it."
Chapter 79 Loyalty or Personal Will 6/7
"Yeah"
Unohana Retsu spoke softly, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
In short, Retsu Unohana didn't delve into the topic further. Instead, she smiled and said with satisfaction, "This is quite a nice venue. It looks like it can withstand our duel."
"This sparring session between Captain Unohana wasn't without its requirements."
At this moment, Aizen suddenly spoke up and made a request.
Unohana Retsu frowned slightly, looking at Aizen with a hint of doubt and confusion.
After only a moment's thought, Retsu Unohana nodded and said, "Aizen-san, please tell me first."
Since the swordsmanship competition between the two was always initiated by Unohana Retsu alone, and Aizen was forced to agree, Unohana Retsu felt that he could appropriately agree to some easy conditions.
"First '643'"
"The details of our fight must never be revealed to anyone other than a third party."
"Hmm, okay."
"Secondly, please keep my next move and true strength a secret."
"Varied"
Boom! Before Unohana could even voice her question, Aizen threw out a small gadget.
Swish swish.
Four beams of light shot out, connecting to envelop the entire underground base.
"It's a barrier!"
Unohana Retsu's pupils contracted, and her gaze towards Aizen was filled with profound meaning.
Barriers are a type of demonic art, but in reality, not many people truly master barrier techniques because their effectiveness in high-level combat and the significant cost they consume make many people unwilling to learn them.
Even if a few people want to learn it, they can only learn barrier techniques from the Ghost Path sect! Or it's the kind that... is passed down in a family.
Clearly, Aizen is not the latter.
So where do you learn and master barrier techniques? That's quite interesting.
"No, this is not a barrier spell."
Aizen smiled and denied it, emphasizing, "This is a small tool I created using barrier jutsu; it's more convenient than using barrier jutsu directly."
"Captain Aizen really has a lot hidden."
Unohana Retsu muttered to herself, seemingly understanding why Aizen had asked her to help cover it up.
Logically, she should have reported this matter, which seemed to be of suspicion to the Soul Society, to the Captain-Commander immediately. However, her eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded gently, smiling as she said, "It seems that Captain Aizen can bring me even more surprises."
Seeing through Unohana Retsu's attitude, a smile appeared at the corner of Aizen's eyes.
The reason he agreed to the duel and deliberately revealed certain things was to find out Unohana's attitude.
He was very satisfied with the result.
Retsu Unohana once boasted that she had mastered all sword techniques.
He named himself "Mao Yachiru".
He was an unprecedented and unparalleled villain in Soul Society! Later, he was subdued by Yamamoto Genryu and became the first Kenpachi of the Gotei 13. In order to enjoy the pleasure of fighting, he went around looking for powerful generals to make him proud.
In the end, Kenpachi Zaraki emerged victorious, but this victory was due to Kenpachi Zaraki sealing away his true power in order to enjoy the battle.
Even so, she suffered severe penetrating wounds below her throat and above her sternum, which is why she later used braided hair to cover the scars.
Actually, there's a point of contention here.
Unohana was once an unprecedented and unparalleled villain, regardless of
What exactly happened? At the very least, she should have belonged to the type that... deserved to be condemned.
His original stance was to be on the opposite side of the Gotei 13. Even if he later joined the Gotei 13, there should be no possibility that he would want to sacrifice himself for them so soon after joining.
But after encountering Kenpachi Zaraki, she realized that he possessed the ability to become "Kenpachi".
He recognized his potential and was directly transferred to the Fourth Division.
An era cannot afford to have two "Kenpachi" characters.
Adhering to these rules, she set aside her own interests and principles and became the captain of a medical team.
That is indeed the case.
Until the beginning of the story, this... Fourth Division Captain never officially participated in any battle; every time she did, it was just "playing around."
Nature.
Even when faced with a level five opponent head-on, she tried her best to avoid combat.
Finally, the only time he fought seriously was to awaken Kenpachi Zaraki, and then he died at Kenpachi Zaraki's hands.
This seemed very abnormal to Aizen.
Retsu Unohana possesses both the gentleness and understanding of a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman), and a madness that revels in fighting and killing.
Honestly, there are very few female characters like this in the entire world of anime. Whether it's Esdeath, Mirajane, Sakura Haruno, Kiyohime, etc., they are all different from Retsu Unohana.
These women's gentleness is either exclusive to one person, cultivated later in life, or simply a product of the violence of battle rather than the pleasure of fighting.
If Aizen had to name a woman who closely resembled Retsu Unohana, he could only think of one whose strength was vastly different from Retsu's: Yo Busujima! She possessed a natural inclination to enjoy killing and the essence of a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman).
Two innate qualities intertwined create a flower that is both dangerous and alluring.
Aizen didn't believe that someone like that could truly control her interests.
Killing and fighting are human nature.
Just like the Hollowfication incident that night, Retsu Unohana was actually itching to make a move, but the Captain-Commander stopped her.
It's clear that Mr. Yamamoto didn't want anything to happen to her...top combat power. However, since Unohana Retsu has lost the title of Kenpachi, she can't truly be considered a combat power. Therefore, Unohana Retsu's position in the Gotei 13 is quite intriguing.
Was it that she herself was unwilling to take action, or were the rules of the Spirit Court preventing her from acting arbitrarily?
Therefore, was she willing to die for her recognition of Kenpachi Zaraki, or was it truly out of loyalty to the Soul Society? Since this battle was unavoidable, it would be a good opportunity for Aizen to use it to test her.
9. The Flower of Fierce Blaze.
It now seems that Retsu Unohana died at the hands of Kenpachi Zaraki solely out of personal will, which makes her relationship with the Soul Society intriguing.
"Since it's a competition, how about adding a prize?"
"Oh, what does Captain Aizen want to say?"
Unohana Retsu asked back with an unchanged smile, but an invisible, terrifying aura emanated from her.
"It seems that Captain Unohana is quite interested in me, and I also have some questions about Unohana. How about whoever defeats the other gets to ask them three questions?"
"Aizen-san is quite confident, huh? Well then, I agree!"
Rip! The ground split open, and a soaring sword pressure tore through the earth.
Chapter 80: Retsu Unohana's Strength and Mysteries (7/7, Bonus Chapter for Average Subscriptions)
The words had barely left his mouth when an astonishing sword pressure tore straight towards Aizen.
