In the battle against Zaraki back then, it was precisely because she was too weak to make Zaraki happy, which caused him to seal his own power and today's fight with Mazuru also ended suddenly because she was too weak to last until the very end, Mazuru had to stop because he was worried about killing her.
Of course, the reason why she ended up like that is because Mazuru's Bankai is too broken. Mazuru relied on his Bankai's unconventional ability to force her into that state but that doesn't excuse her.
After all, Bankai is also a part of shinigami's power, like she also used Bankai against him, but failed to defeat Mazuru, which has already explained the problem.
In the room, Unohana blamed herself.
However, when she thought about the fact that Mazuru would come again to fight, she felt a little bit of joy and anticipation in her heart.
'Such a powerful Bankai, coupled with such strength and potential, is really an adversary that makes me excited just thinking about it.'
…
Same night.
In the Zanpakuto space, Mazuru looked at Chi no Kawa and couldn't help sighing.
During the fight against Unohana, it seemed like he was victorious, but if it weren't for his Bankai's specificity, he would have been dissolved under Unohana's Bankai, god knows how many times.
His sword skills are indeed inferior to Unohana's.
However, he was not discouraged.
On the contrary, it is precisely because he is inferior to Unohana that he is more excited.
This means that his slashing technique still has room for improvement.
During that fight, using his Bankai's undead characteristic, he learned and absorbed Unohana's sword skills without any scruples, which made his stagnant slashing skills progress slightly, even if the progress is not much , but it is progress nevertheless.
"Let's start!"
Chi no Kawa looked at Mazuru who was a little more excited than usual, but her expression was as indifferent as ever, she immediately swung her sword, and took the initiative to attack Mazuru.
Mazuru didn't hesitated either, and also counterattacked with his sword.
The battle with Unohana is to learn and absorb her sword skills, and the fight with Chi no Kawa was to integrate these skills into his own slashing technique, and master them thoroughly through battle. So as to be bble to go to the next level of his slashing technique.
After a few days.
Mazuru visited the Fourth Division again.
After a cordial meeting with Unohana, the two came to the training ground of the Fourth Division again.
Mazuru used his Bankai first and then, a blood-red barrier enveloped the training ground of the Fourth Division.
In the blood-red space, the two continued to fight fiercely until the enchantment dissipated and Mazuru left like before.
This time, Unohana didn't wait for Isane to find out how embarrassed her situation was, she quietly went back to her living quarters, treated her injuries first, and then changed her clothes.
Since then, although Isane, the vice-captain of the Fourth Division, has never seen her captain in distress because of Unohana's deliberate hiding, but Mazuru, as the captain of the Third Division, often visits the Fourth Division, it was noticed by Isane.
Combining with the bloody appearance of her captain back then.
Isane felt that there must be some story in it.
But because of her captain's instructions, she chose to keep her mouth shut.
But since then, every time she looks at Mazuru, there will inevitably be some unusual expression on her face.
Mazuru naturally noticed this too, but didn't care much.
During the battle with Unohana, he continued to learn Unohana's fighting skills and absorbed their essence. He could feel that his slashing skills were getting better and better.
Same goes for Unohana.
If we say that when she fought Mazuru at first was because she wanted to enjoy fighting, then after fighting Mazuru for a period of time, she was pushed to the point of desperation because of Mazuru's weird immortal ability, and in the face of desperation, after walking around the edge of death for a few times, Unohana found that her strength, which had been stagnant for many years, had started improving again.
"It turns out that I can still improve!"
Once upon a time, because she couldn't make Zaraki feel the joy of fighting, she thought she was weak, she was once again reminded of her weakness when she failed to keep up with Mazuru till the end of their battle, but she was helpless, because that was her limit and this is not something that can be changed by hard work.
But in the continuous battles against Mazuru, she hovered on the edge of life and death several times and found that she can still improve.
'Perhaps, if I become stronger, I can enjoy more pleasant battles.'
Unohana thought so.
It was also after she understood this point that she no longer intentionally pursued death in battle. Although dying in battle is something she longed for, but if she could still become stronger, then that will be the thing she pursues first, after all, it was her original goal in life.
…
Time passed away quietly.
Because of repeated visits from Mazuru, in a short period of time, he and Unohana became extremely close friends.
Mazuru learned sword skills from Unohana, and Unohana broke through her previous limit and became even stronger in the battles against Mazuru.
It's a win-win situation.
It is also because of this sudden hardcore training, Nanao was inevitably left out in the cold.
At the beginning, Nanao thought that Mazuru was busy with his team affairs, but later, during a gathering of the Women's Shinigami Association, Nanao, who is the vice-captain of it, discovered that things were not so simple.
The Shinigami Women's Association is an organization established to improve the status of female shinigamis and safeguard the rights and interests of female shinigamis. The President of it is Kusajishi Yachiru, the vice-captain of the Eleventh Division, who is the mascot, and the Vice- President is Ise Nanao. The Supervising Chairwoman is Retsu Unohana, captain of the Fourth Division.
Basically, Unohana, who is the Supervising Chairwoman, will attend every meeting. As a result, Unohana did not came during the meeting.
Nanao was inevitably a little curious, and immediately asked the vice-captain of the Fourth Division, Isane.
Then, she learned from Isane that Unohana didn't come because she was entertaining guests who visited their division.
And the guest is none other than Mazuru, captain of the Third Division.
That's right, although Isane did not mention the fight between Mazuru and Unohana, she did not hide the fact that Mazuru often went to the Fourth Division, after all, this kind of thing could not be hidden even if wanted.
