I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

"This world is full of unknown dangers that can suddenly befall us or those we care about without our knowledge."

"At this time, we must have the power to fight against these dangers in order to protect everything we cherish."

"Yes, you're right, Captain Erin."

"I told you before that if you joined the 11th Division after becoming a Shinigami, I would personally train you."

“If you have another residence within Seireitei, we can begin training now.”

"If you don't have a place to stay, go find the Fifth Assistant and Third Seat now and have him show you around the Eleventh Division's barracks and cafeteria. Training can start tomorrow, okay?"

"Yes, I understand, Captain Erin."

"Then I'll go find the Fifth Assistant and the Third Seat now."

"Go."

……

In the Fourth Division, Retsu Unohana squinted, holding a cup of tea in her hands, slowly savoring it.

"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor, and a flustered white-haired girl rushed into Retsu Unohana's captain's meeting room.

"Captain Unohana, Captain Unohana, I've found out what you asked me to find out from that member of the Eleventh Division."

This little girl, although her voice sounds like that of a minor, has amazingly long legs, making her appear taller than her actual age.

“Yongyin, as a medical professional, you must ensure your emotional stability, as this will greatly help you in using the return channel to treat patients.”

"Yes, Captain Unohana."

Setting down her teacup, Retsu Unohana felt a pang of disappointment.

Compared to his former vice-captain, Seinosuke Yamada, this little girl, Isane Kotetsu, is far inferior.

Fortunately, Yongyin has good talent; she has a strong aptitude for both Kido and Hokage.

As long as her spiritual pressure increases, her strength will steadily improve.

After Seinosuke Yamada left the Fourth Division, Retsu Unohana took Isane Kotetsu as her assistant and began to train her.

"Tell me, what did you find out from that member of the Eleventh Division?"

"Ah."

After calming her breathing, Kotetsu Isane replied to Unohana, "Captain Unohana, that team member said that their captain has taken on a genius Shinigami as a disciple recently and has been teaching him in Rukongai."

"Rukousagata? This place feels so familiar..."

Unohana Retsu sighed inwardly.

More than a thousand years ago, Retsu Unohana was a notorious villain in Soul Society, proficient in all the sword styles of Soul Society, and called himself "Yachiryū".

Even after being defeated by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and becoming the first Kenpachi of the Gotei 13, Unohana Yachiru's bloodlust remained unchecked.

Unable to fight within the Seireitei, she frequently sought out strong opponents in the Rukongai to battle.

At that time, the number of sword masters she had killed could have piled up into a mountain.

Until one day, Unohana Yachiru encountered a boy who also possessed a bloodlust...

Thinking of that boy, Unohana couldn't help but touch her chest.

There was an ugly scar hidden by her long braid.

This scar serves as a constant reminder to Retsu Unohana that she, the original Kenpachi, had lost her title as the "Strongest Shinigami" in that battle.

Moreover, it was done in an extremely shameful way.

It was precisely because of her own weakness that Unohana Yachiru established the rule that "when facing a challenge, one must do one's best to respond to the challenger."

The seventh Kenpachi, Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, once apologized to the ninth Kenpachi challenger, Azumashiro Souya, because he didn't want his subordinates nearby to die at his hands, since he hadn't been able to show Azumashiro Souya his strongest Bankai.

Over the years, Unohana has refined her skills and returned to the Dao. Furthermore, she has learned from Kirinji Tenjiro the ability to transform spiritual pressure into healing hot springs and will fuse it with the power of her Zanpakuto.

She was confident that if she were to encounter that boy again, she would never again lower her spiritual pressure to cooperate with her because of her weakness.

but……

For the first time, Unohana sensed a completely different sword style from the Sixth Division Captain Erin, a style she herself had mastered, which almost made her fighting spirit burst forth uncontrollably.

Don't underestimate the expectations of someone who has mastered all the sword styles in Soul Society when facing a new sword style.

In particular, after learning from the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family that Erin's spiritual pressure had reached a certain level, Retsu Unohana almost drew her sword and fought Erin.

Therefore, when Souya Azashiro surrendered and was imprisoned in the deepest hell, and the captain of the 11th Division was left undecided, Unohana brought up Erin's name.

There can only be one "Kenpachi" in every era!

This is my destiny!

Feeling the overwhelming desire within her, Unohana's eyes suddenly became somewhat lifeless.

It was as if the great villain of the past wanted to tear apart her hypocritical shell and rush to Rukongai to fight Erin Kenpachi.

"Captain Mao, the Flower of the Rabbit."

The terrified cries awakened Retsu Unohana, who was still immersed in the carnage of the past.

Retsu Unohana, squinting, realized that the little girl in front of her seemed to be frightened by her.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Yuzune."

"I just thought of something. Did you see anything?"

Gently stroking Kotetsu Isane's hair, Unohana Retsu softly comforted her.

"No, I think I was just hallucinating."

Kotetsu Isane, comforted by Unohana Retsu, enjoys Captain Unohana's gentleness.

That's true. Captain Unohana can be considered the idol of all the female Shinigami in Seireitei. She's beautiful, gentle, and incredibly strong...

How could the gentle and virtuous Captain Unohana possibly have such a terrifying look in her eyes?

"Rukousoul Street?"

After comforting Kotetsu Isane and leaving, Unohana Retsu took out a piece of paper and began to write her last words on it.

"Yongyin, by the time you read this letter, I will already be..."

As dusk fell, Retsu Unohana put the letter, whose ink had already dried, into an envelope and placed it on the desk in her captain's office.

If I can return, I will destroy this letter.

If he doesn't return tonight, Kotetsu Isane will naturally find the letter tomorrow and hand it over to Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

I looked up at the moon in the sky.

"The moonlight tonight is so beautiful..."

Under the bright moonlight, Retsu Unohana suddenly untied her hair tie, and the large braid on her chest immediately came undone, fluttering in the night wind.

"It's a good day for a bloodbath..."

A cold, deathly voice came from Retsu Unohana's mouth.

The next moment, Retsu Unohana's figure transformed into a blur, rushing towards Rukongai...

……

Rukongai.

A slender figure was fighting against several phantoms.

It was less of a battle and more of an attack by the three Void creatures and a dodge by the boy.

Near the battlefield, Erin stood with his arms crossed, watching Gin Ichimaru's performance.

Indeed, in Erin's view, Gin Ichimaru's battle with these three Hollows was just a "performance".

With his eyes closed, Gin Ichimaru could always sense the Hollows' movements before they arrived and evade their attacks with minimal movement.

If one observes more closely, or if one is a powerful Shinigami, one can see an even more terrifying scene.

Every time Gin Ichimaru dodges, he does so from a position where he can strike at the fastest speed and instantly kill these Hollows.

"good."

Erin was very satisfied with Gin Ichimaru's performance.

Knowing who Gin Ichimaru's target was, Erin focused on training Gin's "sensory perception" when teaching him.

Seeing and hearing is domineering!

This is a powerful ability that allows one to sense an opponent's actions, predict their movements, and even, at the highest level, foresee the future.

Of course, because of the different versions, Erin could not give the "Pirate" series weapons he forged to Gin Ichimaru, so Gin Ichimaru could not master the true "Observation Haki".

However, in the world of Bleach, the Shinigami also rely on "spiritual pressure perception" to sense their opponents' movements during battles.

Aizen Sousuke's "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" can control the enemy's five senses, achieving "complete hypnosis" of the enemy.

However, as long as you touch the blade of Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu before Aizen unleashes his Zanpakuto, you will not be affected by Kyoka Suigetsu's power.

Using two sensory binding techniques, such as Binding Technique 58: Slap-Toe Chasing Sparrow and Binding Technique 77: Heavenly Soaring Sky, one can detect Aizen Sousuke's spiritual pressure.

Erin taught Gin Ichimaru what he created based on these two binding techniques—a Shinigami-style version of "Observation Haki."

When unleashing the Shinigami version of "Observation Haki," one's spiritual power expands outwards like a sensory binding spell, merging with the surrounding spiritual particles. Through the fluctuations of these particles, one can sense the enemy's movements.

In a sense, this is creating a "perceptual barrier" around oneself.

Chapter 105 Zaraki

As long as the spiritual particles that one spreads out to the surrounding area can touch the blade of Aizen Sousuke's Kyoka Suigetsu sword within the range of this barrier, one will not be affected by the power of Kyoka Suigetsu.

It has to be said, Gin Ichimaru is truly a genius.

In just three months, he was already able to skillfully apply this ability in battle. Given time, once Gin Ichimaru has mastered this ability and it becomes second nature to him, he will be qualified to stand before Aizen.

Of course, it's just a qualification.

After all, in terms of talent, Aizen is in no way inferior to Gin Ichimaru.
