Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"Also... Captain Retsu Unohana of the Fourth Division went along as well."

The visitor continued.

"What!!?"

Yamamoto's hand trembled, and the tea in his teacup spilled all over the floor.

He looked to the side in astonishment, seemingly unable to believe what he had just heard, and asked again to confirm:

"Unohana Retsu?"

"Yes!"

The Riding Hoffenheim players spoke with firm conviction.

Yamamoto felt his blood pressure spike.

Are these two trying to wipe out the entire Rukongai by teaming up?

"Immediately notify the 8th and 13th Divisions, and have Captain Kyoraku and Captain Ukitake follow them. If they are found to be behaving inappropriately, be ready to stop them at any time."

Yamamoto gave the order with a serious expression.

Faced with such a powerful and terrifying duo, perhaps only his other two prized disciples could barely manage to cope.

The thought of those two restless guys wreaking havoc in Rukongai made Yamamoto feel exhausted.

Upon hearing the instructions, the Riting team members nodded and then quickly disappeared into the room.

Not long after, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro left the squad's base in a panic and ran wildly toward North Rukongai.

They ran while silently praying in their hearts.

As Aozaki Mayuki's senior brothers, they knew that this mischievous junior brother was incredibly powerful.

As a student who has followed Yamamoto for hundreds of years, I have a general idea of ​​how ruthless the real Unohana Retsu really is.

…………

Just as Yamamoto learned.

After leaving Seireitei, Aozaki Mayuki led his men straight to Zaraki Ward.

They didn't stop for a moment along the way.

"Search in shifts, by class, and find them even if you have to search the entire Kōki district!"

"Don't just focus on killing. Remember the intelligence. Don't just look for gathering places of thugs and ruffians; don't overlook the desolate wilderness!"

"Once you find out about that ronin, do not act rashly. That ronin is quite strong. Report any situation to the captain immediately!"

On a barren piece of land in the Zaraki Ward, the officers of the Eleventh Division shouted orders at the top of their lungs.

Aozaki Mayuki's primary task for them was not to kill, but to find someone.

But when the mission came down, the intelligence they were given was pitifully little, only four pieces in total.

He comes from the Zaraki Ward, is known by his name Zaraki or Zaraki Kenpachi, is incredibly strong (comparable to a captain), and may be accompanied by a pink-haired little girl.

The first two pieces of information are practically useless.

Most people here originally didn't have names, and countless people named themselves after the district name "Kuragi Ward".

However, upon hearing someone dare to call himself "Kenpachi," the team members were immediately enraged.

However, since the captain had given the order personally, they couldn't let him down.

We still need to do this properly and not let our emotions affect us!

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers drew their Zanpakuto and dispersed.

They began searching for the person Aozaki Mayuki was looking for, while also completing the mission assigned by the Captain-Commander.

Zaraki Ward is located at No. 80 Rukongai, a place teeming with vicious and ruthless criminals.

Once they start, they will show absolutely no mercy.

However, Aozaki Mayuki was not idle either; he kept his spiritual pressure perception active at all times.

The resources of Rukongai are worlds apart from those of Seireitei, but its area is quite large.

Once most of his underlings had left, Aozaki Mazuki turned to look at the person beside him.

"Are you going to play with him yourself later, or should I do it?"

Unohana Retsu tucked her hands into her sleeves and said with a gentle smile:

"You should do it. No matter what the final result is, 'Kenpachi' should not belong to me."

"Who said that? I've become your personal 'Kenpachi' now..."

Aozaki Mayuki huffed in dissatisfaction.

"Stop being silly, you know perfectly well that's not what I meant..."

Retsu Unohana walked to Mayuki Aozaki's side, smiled, and took his hand, seemingly to comfort him.

"But speaking of which, how did you find out about that person?"

"Could it be that you've been investigating that man all along?"

Did you do all this for me?

If it weren't for me, what other reason would I have for you to do these things?

It must have been for me!

Thinking of this, Unohana Retsu's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

A pang of pity welled up in her heart as she looked at the foolish child before her, feeling a pang of heartache.

Despite his many quiet contributions, he remained silent throughout.

This clumsy yet delicate tenderness is truly beyond words.

"I didn't do anything special, I just happened to learn about these things."

Aozaki Mayuki scratched her head and answered honestly.

How can such words deceive people?

She can't even lie; she's adorably silly.

Unohana Retsu couldn't help but laugh, feeling rather pleased.

The two stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, bathed in the gentle breeze. Their feelings for each other gradually warmed up, and they couldn't help but embrace.

Witnessing this, Gin Ichimaru revealed a look of disdain.

This is a battlefield! Can you two be any bolder?!

Fortunately, Jiu Nanbai was also dispatched to carry out a mission; otherwise, who knows how things would have turned out.

He sighed helplessly, turned around and said:

"I will contact all the officers and inform you as soon as I have any news."

"Okay, okay, no problem, you go ahead."

Aozaki Mayuki waved her hand impatiently and said with obvious disdain.

Gin Ichimaru's eye twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth, somewhat displeased.

Who am I doing this for? How dare they talk to me like that?

If you act like this, who will help you in the future?

"Yin, thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to dinner tonight, and I'll cook it myself."

What's so hard about such a small thing?

"No need, I have work tonight." Gin Ichimaru snorted coldly and left without looking back.

Regarding Kenpachi Zaraki.

Some people may not know this, so let me explain.

Kenpachi Zaraki was a name he chose for himself when he met Yachiru Kusajishi before joining the Gotei 13, not a name he changed after obtaining the title "Kenpachi".

Chapter 264 Catching a knife barehanded is so cool!

Aozaki Mayuki quietly held Unohana Retsu in her arms, sitting on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the blood-red scene below and the continuous screams.

Blood and knives seemed to dance in the forest, which the two perverts watched with great interest.

In comparison, the thugs in Zaraki Ward are indeed stronger than those in Hanaku Ward.

However, there are actually very few people who can truly rival the captain-level powerhouses like Onigenjo and Zaraki.

Lacking professional training, most of them remained at the level of ordinary soldiers and low-ranking officers.

Facing a professional Shinigami team led by the seat commander and wielding Zanpakuto.

These so-called "villains" were almost powerless to resist and could only be slaughtered at their mercy.

The two enjoyed the unique scenery while chatting casually.

Several tens of minutes passed when Aozaki Mayuki suddenly frowned and turned to look in the direction she had come from.

In that direction, a striking spiritual pressure was gradually approaching.

This spiritual pressure is exceptionally powerful, definitely belonging to the first-class spiritual power level.

Its imposing presence is sharp and intimidating, carrying a sense of madness and aggression.

However, despite the immense spiritual pressure, it outwardly conveys a sense of repression and powerlessness.

It's like a wolf in sheep's clothing!

"That direction... is it towards Kusaka District? Did you find him?"

Retsu Unohana sat up straight from Aozaki Mayuki's lap, following his gaze with excitement in her eyes.

It was getting closer and closer; even she could sense the spiritual pressure.
