Death: Then stood in the sky.

Aoji has started sweating again.

No, woman, your intuition and insight are truly terrifying.

“If there is anyone in this world who understands your body better than you, then I think that person is only me,” Retsu Unohana stated bluntly.

This is the truth.

Unlike Seiji, Ukitake Jushiro had the One-Eyed God parasitizing his body when he was a child. His internal organs were permanently stuck in that state by the power of "Stop". As long as he did not die on the spot, he would return to that stage.

It's normal to be half-dead, but it won't get any worse.

Therefore, even after becoming an apprentice of Captain-Commander Yamamoto and eventually the captain of the Gotei 13, Ukitake had no intention of seeking treatment from Retsu Unohana, because it was pointless.

But Aoshi is completely different.

Because the key medium, the One-Eyed God, is missing.

Although Unohana Retsu was unable to cure Seiji, Unohana Retsu's reply was the strongest when Kirinji Tenjirou was not available.

So, in order to save his life, even though he knew that Unohana Retsu was in great danger, Seiji still approached this woman from the bottom of his heart.

As for the effect, I can only say it's very useful.

There is no cure, but some degree of relief is possible.

Based on this, Retsu Unohana naturally gained a terrifying understanding of Seiji's body, and it's not an exaggeration to say that she even understands her own body better than Seiji does.

It's kind of embarrassing to admit, I didn't even know how deep Unohana Retsu was...

It's beyond repair!

Aside from the morning, when exactly can a man stand up?

At this moment, Unohana frowned, her eyes filled with contemplation.

She knew Qing Si's illness and physical condition better than anyone else.

Just look at Jushiro Ukitake. Even with the One-Eyed God protecting him, he was still a sickly man all year round. He even had to lie on his deathbed for years to complete a fight, and he had to continue lying on his deathbed after each fight.

Moreover, what about Aoshi?

Although Unohana Retsu knew all along that Seiji possessed some interesting things, those things couldn't achieve this level of skill.

Because this time is completely different.

"Come with me." Retsu Unohana glanced at Seiji, then turned and left the room.

"Where to?" Aoshi had a bad feeling.

"Quiet, keep up, okay?" Retsu Unohana turned around, her eyes fixed on Seiji, and softly uttered three words.

Which one?

Aoshi felt a little uneasy, but still followed along without hesitation.

It was just a little nonsense I made earlier.

We've known each other for so long, surely Retsu Unohana wouldn't be so petty?

And you've lived for over a thousand years, how can you still hold such a grudge?

While muttering to himself, Unohana Retsu, who was walking ahead, soon stopped.

This is the dojo of the Fourth Division.

Oh dear, another one has been sent.

My ominous premonition came true.

As expected, Retsu Unohana had already opened the dojo's main gate and walked in first.

This is a place for practicing kendo.

It's the "slash" from the movie "Slash Fist Walks Ghost," which refers to swordsmanship.

Although the Fourth Division is a medical division and usually does not participate in battles, it does not mean that the Shinigami of the Fourth Division do not need to train. After all, sometimes the members of the Fourth Division have to save people on the front line of the battlefield, so they still need to have some self-defense capabilities.

Having arrived here, how could Aoji not understand what Unohana Retsu meant?

Qing Si was unwilling to give up: "Hey, can we reconcile?"

Unohana Retsu smiled and said, "No."

Aoshi tried to stop him again: "Then I'll just admit defeat."

"No, you can't." Retsu Unohana shook her head again, her eyes smiling. "Seiji, you don't want the Gotei 13 to know about your affairs, do you?"

Madam, please stop your neon lights... Oh, that's how it is, never mind then.

Qing Si glanced at her sideways and sneered.

A joke.

Just because you say no doesn't mean it's not allowed?

Even if I, Ukitake Seiji, starve to death, die outside, or jump off a building, it's impossible for me...

Unohana Retsu just stared at him like that.

Aoshi: "You look like you're only eighteen years old."

Unohana Retsu's eyes lit up with a smile: "Correction, it's not 'seems like'."

Okay, whatever you say.

But this trick still didn't work.

Because a hand reached out and pried open his five fingers, handing him a bamboo knife.

"Don't hold back, Aoji." Unohana Retsu smiled gently, as virtuous as a perfect wife.

"Well then, I'm coming."

After saying that, she disappeared from the spot.

"So fast!"

"The captain's speed... no matter how many times I watch it, it's still incredibly exaggerated."

At this moment, Kotetsu Yuune, who had heard the commotion, stood at the entrance of the dojo. She opened her eyes wide, but could only see a shadow.

boom!

Bamboo swords clash!

An immense force struck, and Aoshi was slashed and slid away.

This scene did not surprise Torate Isane, as it was the usual outcome.

His ailing body lowered Aoji's limits, preventing him from fighting at full strength.

At this time every time, Retsu Unohana would lower her power and reduce the frequency to a level that Seiji could accept in order to help him train.

But Retsu Unohana doesn't think that way today.

"slow."

"too slow."

"Powerless."

Still powerless.

Unohana Retsu kept swinging her sword, while Seiji could only retreat again and again.

Even Kotetsu Isane noticed something was amiss, because Unohana Retsu was unusually serious today.

Although he is only 1.6 meters tall, he has the presence of someone 2.8 meters tall.

"What... happened?" Kotetsu Isane blinked her big eyes, completely confused about the situation.

Unohana Retsu suddenly sheathed her sword.

“Your power shouldn’t be like this, or rather…” Unohana Retsu glanced at Seiji, who was standing still, and said in a completely emotionless voice, “If that’s the case, then let’s stop here.”

What?!

What does it mean to say "It shouldn't be like this"?

Could it be... that Seiji is hiding his true strength?

Kotetsu Yuzune's eyes widened in surprise.

Qing Si sighed.

Women are such hypocritical creatures.

What ends here?

He was clearly saying that he didn't trust her.

If this really ends here, then the next time we meet, I'll probably just be a stranger in Unohana Retsu's eyes.

How childish! Can't you just say what you mean? You little brat.

Aoshi shook his hand and gripped the bamboo sword tightly: "Since you've said so, I'm coming, Retsu."

Unohana Retsu's mood brightened instantly, and she smiled, "Please call me Unohana-sensei."

Chapter 10: Getting Too Familiar – That's How It Is

Although their conversation made one want to imagine what they were talking about.

But in reality, Seiji's swordsmanship was taught by Unohana Retsu.

Not only in kendo, but in a sense, she watched Seiji grow up.

Swish!

Unohana Retsu disappeared from the spot.

"So fast! It's gotten even faster!" Kotetsu Isane, who was watching the battle, was shocked. This time, not only was there no afterimage, she couldn't even catch Unohana Retsu's movement trajectory!

Captain... are we getting serious now?

Can Aoji handle this...? Wait a minute?!

Blocked... blocked?

In the reflected pupils, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, the two figures passed each other.

Unohana Retsu suddenly turned around and slashed.

An extremely tricky angle of attack.

Her response was equally inhuman slashing.

The Eight Thousand Streams of Swordsmanship!

Kotetsu Yuuto stared in shock, his eyes wide. How could he have withstood an attack of this magnitude?!

"What...what happened? Is this Seiji's true strength?"

But...why?

Kotetsu Yuuto suddenly looked somewhat bewildered.

Although neither side used spiritual pressure, nor did they use their Zanpakuto, nor did they unleash their Zanpakuto, it was simply a swordsmanship sparring match.

But this kind of physical contact is precisely where Seiji's real weakness lies.

That riddled-with-holes body simply couldn't support him in such an intense battle, because every time he went all out, it was equivalent to taking a step towards hell, until death.

Normally, it requires Unohana Retsu to be compatible with the lower body and adjust her physical strength to a level that Aoji can accept in order to transmit the teachings.

But what's going on today?

boom!

Another collision!

After the fierce flower of the rabbit leaps a few steps.
