Shikai: Blade of Slaughter

Ten Unohana watched the roaring Hollow and crouched slightly. Then,

Shunpo.

As he swiftly accelerated with Shunpo, he called out, "Bakudō #4: Hainawa."

Then, as the Hollow broke free of "Bakudō #4: Hainawa," Ten Unohana seized the Hollow that was his double and flung it upward.

Ten Unohana slowly rose into the air, looking at the Hollow roaring inside the palace.

With a Shunpo, he charged at it.

"Ugh."

At the moment Ten Unohana was fighting the Hollow,

In Retsu Unohana's medical room in the Fourth Division of the Shinigami world outside the Zanpakuto,

Hollowfication material poured out from all over Ten Unohana's body and soon enveloped him completely.

Fortunately, Retsu Unohana was tending to him, preventing the Hollowfication energy from leaking out.

In the Zanpakuto world,

The classical beauty looked at Ten Unohana and asked, "Are you done yet?"

Without turning his head, Ten Unohana replied, "Not yet, but soon."

"Hyah!"

With a mighty shout, Ten Unohana finally finished the step of beating the Hollow into a severely injured state.

"All right, next is the fusion."

Next came Ten Unohana's fusion with the Hollow. Following the classical beauty's instructions, he slowly infused Reiatsu into the Hollow's body...

Then the places where Ten Unohana and the Hollow touched broke into fragments, which slowly began to fuse again.

A long time passed.

Unaccustomed to his current body, Ten Unohana casually made a few sounds and moved his newly fused body.

Ten Unohana felt very uncomfortable in this newly fused body, as though his entire body had been frozen.

But Ten Unohana looked below his waist—and sensed his connection to the sea of blood beneath him.

He frowned and asked, "What's this?"

"Master fused with the Hollow, so naturally you can use the Hollow's abilities and control that sea of blood, as well as the blood moon."

After saying that, the classical beauty added awkwardly, "Master, there's actually one more thing I have to tell you. Because my soul is one with yours, part of my Reiatsu has also undergone Hollowfication. So, Master, you also have a Hollowfied sword spirit."

"So what?" Ten Unohana didn't know what a Hollowfied sword spirit was.

The classical beauty lowered her head and blushed without saying anything. At that moment, Ten Unohana also noticed her expression.

Ignoring his previous question, he instead

asked with a wickedly charming smile, "It's been so long, and I still don't know your name."

At that, the classical beauty's expression turned serious. "Master, speaking of that, as I said, I also have two parts. One part is me, and the other is the Hollow, so my name isn't the full name of the Zanpakuto."

Ten Unohana domineeringly pulled her into his arms, cutting her off. "I'm asking for your name right now!"

The woman slowly broke free of his embrace. She seemed to care a great deal about her name. Standing upright, she said, "My name is—Blade of Slaughter."

Ten Unohana looked at the classical beauty's dignified posture, and a strange smile slowly spread across his lips.

"Master, that's a lecherous smile."

Ten Unohana looked at the classical beauty, noble and elegant as a princess, then at her revealing Tang dynasty clothing. Having already freed himself of his inhibitions, he felt his lust surge.

He said wickedly, "Since you say your master is lecherous, wouldn't I be doing your words a disservice if I didn't show you just how lecherous I can be?"

With that, he lunged at the classical beauty.

The woman held out a hand to stop Ten Unohana. In an unreadable tone, she slowly asked, "Master, are you sure you want to do this? Don't forget, Master, I'm a Zanpakuto!"

Ten Unohana moved her hand aside and said, "Blade of Slaughter, never mind, never mind. How about I call you Shasha instead? What do you think?!" Without waiting for her to answer,

Retsu Unohana, outside, had no clear idea of what was happening.

She had expended enormous effort to keep Ten Unohana's Reiatsu from leaking out without harming him. Even for Retsu Unohana, this was no small challenge. After all, using Kidō to achieve the same effect as Kisuke Urahara's famous invention from the original work took more than simply being a Kidō expert.

More than that, Retsu Unohana was worried about Ten Unohana's condition. The enormous burst of Hollow Reiatsu earlier still left her shaken. After all, Ten Unohana was just a child. With a Reiatsu fluctuation that intense, something would have gone wrong long ago if Retsu Unohana hadn't been by his side.

From this, one could catch a glimpse of Retsu Unohana's strength. She had been using Kidō to conceal the Hollow Reiatsu on Ten Unohana while healing his injuries, and at the same time sorting out the tangled Hollow and Shinigami Reiatsu within him.

Retsu Unohana let out a long breath and watched Ten Unohana gradually settle down. It seems the Hollow attack in Hueco Mundo back then left serious aftereffects! Retsu Unohana blamed herself. This was the result of her failure to protect Ten Unohana. But what Retsu Unohana didn't know was that Ten Unohana didn't care much about it...

All Ten Unohana cared about was whether he could win the hearts of the girls in the Shinigami world, and whether he could build a large harem and bring the girls of Soul Society into it. That was also why Ten Unohana had, just now in the Zanpakuto world, regarding the Hollow's identity
