After the three words came to Unohana's ears, she couldn't help being in a trance. She didn't know how long she hadn't heard this title.
Ever since she put down the sword for killing and used it for healing as her redemption, she subconsciously forgot everything she had done.
It is not due to an aversion to fighting. It's because she had lost the faith to continue fighting.
She is weak!
No matter how many battles she has experienced, she can't change the fact that she is weak. Once upon a time, she used to enjoy fighting and thought that as long as she kept fighting, she could become the strongest. When Gotei 13 was first built, and she got the title of Kenpachi. She thought it was a supreme honor, because Kenpachi was the title of the strongest shinigami, even though she was not the strongest shinigami at that time, but she believed that as long as she continued to fight, she would become the strongest sooner or later.
Until, she met that boy. With little warning, she was injured. Ever since that day, she was extremely happy, thinking that that young boy could please her and make her stronger, but later, she found that she was wrong, in the end, it was herself who could not please that young boy.
Compared to the strength of that boy, she was simply too weak.
The countless battles in the past have finally explained their own weakness.
Moreover, she found that even if she continued to fight, she would not be able to surpass the young boy. What made her even more uncomfortable was that because of her weakness and inability to please the young boy, he chose to seal himself in order to enjoy the fun of fighting,
He is clearly strong, but because of her, he willingly or rather unconsciously became weaker. When Unohana realized this, she was extremely uncomfortable.
It was also after that that she gave up the title of Kenpachi, because she didn't think she could carry the title of the strongest. At the same time, she began to study Kaidō with great concentration learned from Kirinji Tenjiro.
In the past, she learned Kaidō in order to enjoy the fun of fighting more, but since then, she has studied Kaidō in order to fight against death and save people. In the past thousand years, she has never killed anyone again, and she does not even know how many people have been saved by her.
Moreover, decades ago, the boy who had been wandering around Rukongai finally stepped into the Seireitei, and got the name of Kenpachi that she carried back then and no one know how excited she was at that moment. She has been waiting since that day, waiting for another battle with Zaraki who has grown up.
In the end, she didn't expect that before Zaraki, Mazuru came to her. After a moment of stupefaction, Unohana immediately came back to her senses, and said to Mazuru, "Captain Mason is already strong enough, so why bother to sharpen your slashing technique?"
She didn't deny her identity as a First Generation Kenpachi. As Mazuru said, the young shinigami may not know about her past identity, but some older shinigami, such as Shunsui, Jushiro, and Chojiro knows her past very well.
"No, it is because I can feel my own weakness that I want to become stronger." Mazuru said in a deep voice, responding to Unohana.
Unohana was taken aback again. Hearing that Mazuru felt his own weakness, she couldn't help but think of herself back then. At that time, she gave up the sword in her hand because she found that no matter how hard she tried, she could not surpass that boy.
What about Mazuru? Will he also become desperate because of it later, or, on the contrary, will it arouse his heart to become stronger even more?
Although she doesn't know why Mazuru wants to become stronger but since Mazuru knew her real identity and came personally to request her assisstance, Unohana didn't refuse his request in the end.
"If Captain Mazuru really insists on sharpening his slashing skills, then I will help you."
"Thank you Captain Unohana."
Mazuru thanked Unohana.
Unohana smiled faintly.
Mazuru is a person who directly visits the other party's residence in order to achieve his goal, straight to the point.
What about Unohana? It seems that she is not very serious about it, but in fact, she used to be decisive person who killed people without any hesitation, so Mazuru knew that now that she has agreed to his request, she will seriously help him.
Mazuru and Unohana quickly left the Fourth Division captain's room and went to the training ground. Most of the members of the Fourth Division are people who hate or fear fighting, so the training ground of the Fourth Division is empty, even a little barren.
"Is it really okay to fight here?" Unohana looked at Mazuru, a little hesitant. The matter of fighting in the training ground was proposed by Mazuru. Unohana originally wanted a more suitable place, after all, the outbreak of reiatsu in captain-level battle will cause too much commotion and damage but Mazuru said that the training ground of the Fourth Division will be fine.
"A normal training ground is certainly not enough to support our battles, so before the battle, I need to transform it."
How to reform, Mazuru did not say.
Immediately, he drew his Zanpakuto.
"Bankai"
Just like when training Toshiro, with the complete liberation of his Zanpakuto, the crimson enchantment instantly enveloped the entire training ground, and Mazuru and Unohana appeared in the crimson world.
"This is my Bankai, if you fight in it, the movements will not be transmitted to the outside world."
Unohana exclaimed, "What a practical Bankai."
She didn't mean to be sarcastic, but she really thought so.
Isn't it practical to be able to create a fighting space anytime and anywhere, where you can fight wantonly and happily?
(T.L Note: How Kenpachi-like)
Mazuru didn't say anything.
He raised his hand, and the surrounding blood-red mist gathered, forming a blood-red long sword in his hand.
"Captain Unohana, let's begin."
Unohana's originally squinted eyes opened slightly, and a temperament that was completely different from the gentleness in the past emanated from her body.
Now that she has agreed to Mazuru's request and is going to help Mazuru to improve his slashing techniques, of course she has to be a little more serious.
At the same time, she was also a little emotional because Mazuru is the first shinigami who took the initiative to come to her to learn slashing skills in the past thousand years.
'I hope you can bring me joy...'
Unohana thought so.
Immediately she slowly pulled out her Zanpakuto.
*Swish!*
She disappeared in a flash, and the sword in her hand suddenly came to Mazuru.
