Looking at the gate in front of him, Tsuna was reluctant to step inside. This was the territory of the Squad 11, and there was a troublesome guy inside who loved fighting and could suddenly unleash his full power at any moment, and he couldn't kill him.

According to the plan, he should have gone to the 10th Division first, but Hitsugaya Toshiro Kurosaki Isshin just fought with Toshiro Hitsugaya and had some insights, so he had been in seclusion for the past few days. Tsuna simply skipped the 10th Division and came to find the Squad 11 first.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Squad 11, the members of the Squad 11 spotted Tsuna, but the next moment, they pretended not to see him and continued to do their own thing.

The guys in the Squad 11 may love fighting, but that doesn't mean they're all muscle-bound.

The strangely dressed person wandering around Seireitei at this time must be Sawada Tsunayoshi, their captain who's always shouting about wanting to fight.

Whoosh! A pink-haired little girl appeared on the roof of the house. She sniffed around, then quickly opened her eyes wide and pointed at Tsuna with delight, saying, "Tsuna, it's been a long time!"

"Yo, Yachiru." Tsuna raised his hand in greeting.

Yachiru immediately turned around and shouted loudly, her voice carrying throughout the Squad 11 barracks, "Kenpachi, Tsuna's here~~~"

At the Squad 11's training ground, Kenpachi Zaraki excitedly brandished his tattered Zanpakuto.

"Finally stopping hiding, huh? Sawada Tsunayoshi!" Kenpachi grinned maliciously and ripped off his eyepatch, unleashing a torrent of spiritual pressure. "Let's fight!"

These guys, with their powerful fighting instincts and incredibly accurate intuition, immediately pointed out that Tsuna was avoiding him.

"Come on." Tsuna rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and drew his Zanpakuto to confront Kenpachi.

Tsuna offered no advice to Kenpachi Zaraki; he simply advised him to keep increasing his strength and fighting him, Kenpachi Zaraki would gradually regain his power on his own.

"You've seen quite a bit of my power. What kind of power do you want to fight?" Tsuna asked.

Without any hesitation, Kenpachi immediately said, "Of course, it's that blue swordsmanship!"

In his last battle with Tsuna, Kenpachi lost inexplicably to the power of the rain attribute, so his words carried a hint of getting back up from where he fell.

However, what Kenpachi himself didn't notice was that an unnatural expression flashed across his face when he spoke, a change that Tsuna noticed.

"Do you have other motives?" Tsuna asked.

Kenpachi's cheek twitched, slightly embarrassed. He swung his sword haphazardly twice, the scattered spiritual pressure leaving two scratches on the ground. He urged impatiently, "Hurry up and start, let me see your swordsmanship in your fight with that woman!"

That woman was probably referring to Unohana Retsu, swordsmanship?

Tsuna seemed to have discovered the key point. "You want to learn swordsmanship?"

Kenpachi's hand paused. There was an awkward feeling of his little secret being exposed. He didn't know how to answer the question for a moment, so he could only try to stall for time, "Hurry up, use all your Bankai Hollowfication!"

"Kenpachi Zaraki, you don't need to learn any sword techniques. Once you regain your power, every attack you make will be your strongest sword technique!" Tsuna rarely explained things to Kenpachi so clearly, word by word.

"Okay, get started!" Kenpachi said impatiently.

"Then let's go."

Tsuna reluctantly drew another Zanpakuto, its Resurrección and Bankai combined. In its current state, Kenpachi Zaraki definitely couldn't defeat it, but letting Kenpachi Zaraki experience a power that was currently beyond his reach wasn't a bad thing.

Bankai... Resurrección...

Dual swords, fish tail, fish fins, kendo uniform – this is Tsuna's strongest form in the Rain attribute so far. As for the Rain attribute's Beyond Bankai, Tsuna hasn't completed it yet because the Hollow's power of the Rain attribute is quite difficult to deal with.

Sensing Tsuna's enhanced stance, Kenpachi Zaraki's previously arrogant laughter abruptly ceased. He now realized that even in this state, Sawada Tsunayoshi was still beyond his ability to defeat.

Previously, during the battle with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto on the Sōkyoku, because Urahara's protection blocked some of the spiritual pressure, Kenpachi Zaraki thought he could fight Tsuna in this mode, just like Unohana Retsu.

Now, facing the fighting spirit emanating from Sawada Tsunayoshi, Kenpachi's expression darkened. He couldn't easily draw his sword, because his instincts told him that the battle would end immediately after he did.

That wasn't a fight; it was a one-sided beating.

Kenpachi's hand holding his Zanpakuto trembled slightly. He was too weak. He was acutely aware of his own weakness, which made it impossible for him to enjoy the thrill of battle.

Tsuna sighed silently. He could see the unease in Kenpachi's heart. Let's take it one step at a time. Let's wait until Kenpachi gets used to Bankai before adding Resurrección and fighting him.

Just as Tsuna was about to Resurrección, a small hand grasped Kenpachi's large hand, and Kenpachi's trembling immediately stopped; it was a reassuring power.

"Don't be afraid, Kenpachi. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side." The gentle, loli-like voice soothed Kenpachi's uneasy heart. It was Yachiru Kusajishi, who had just returned from evacuating the squad members.

"Tsuna, from now on, the two of us will fight you together," Yachiru said with a smile.

"Okay." Tsuna responded gently in return. Tsuna simply couldn't bring himself to be harsh with this pink-haired loli.

"We're going, Kenpachi!" Yachiru's eyes turned serious as he drew his Zanpakuto and shouted, "Come forth, Three-Step Sword Beast!"

Yachiru had unknowingly given Kenpachi Zaraki unprecedented power. He answered loudly, and that confident and arrogant expression returned to his face once again.

"Stay close to me, Yachiru."

Kenpachi Zaraki charged forward, Zanpakuto to strike Tsuna. However, Tsuna ignored Kenpachi's attack. Before Kenpachi could act, the Swift had already flown away.

A Koume drizzle fell on the center of the arena, bringing that unpleasant feeling again. Kenpachi could feel his body's reaction speed slowing down, and he could only propel his blade forward by unleashing his spiritual pressure.

However, this delayed attack posed absolutely no threat to Tsuna. He simply took a small step to the left, and Kenpachi's attack swept past him.

This is a double-layered Rain Flame. Even Unohana Retsu had to exchange blood to gain room to move. Kenpachi was already doing quite well by exploding his spiritual pressure to gain space to move, but it was far from enough to concentrate Tsuna.

This is the difference in strength. Kenpachi Zaraki is still far from being able to do it, but fortunately, this is not a battle he is fighting alone.

The pink-haired loli Yachiru jumped out from behind Kenpachi and swung her sword at Tsuna.

However, in the Sedation rain, Yachiru was unable to move, merely maintaining the position of Zanpakuto.

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in Tsuna's eyes. He moved, raising his two katana high to the left and right. With two clanging sounds, it seemed that something had been blocked by the katana.

Tsuna Flash Step up and flung Yachiru immobile Yachiru onto Kenpachi Zaraki, while he himself recalled the two slashes he had just received.

It was just two slashes, invisible attacks, but Tsuna's Hyper Intuition detected them in advance and blocked them.

That was the power of the Three-Step Sword Beast. Beside Yachiru, there were two unseen little devils following, either in front and behind, or on the left and right. They would imitate Yachiru's movements. Whenever Yachiru launched an attack, it would be a three-in-one attack with the two little devils.

Whether the two little devils, the Three-Step Sword Beast, can appear depends entirely on Baqianli's own will. If they don't appear, it means that the Sedation effect of the rain has no effect on them.

That's why even though Yachiru was immobilized, the two little devils' attack still showed signs of success.

Interesting. For the first time, Tsuna was intrigued by this training session. He had initially thought it would be a boring battle, but Yachiru's addition added a different dimension.

"Kenpachi!" Yachiru cried out as she fell into Kenpachi's arms. Kenpachi had already enveloped himself with spiritual pressure to defend against the erosion of Sedation.

"Yachiru, coordinate with me." Kenpachi prepared to launch another attack, while Yachiru waited for her chance to strike.

Seeing that Kenpachi was trying to use his spiritual pressure to withstand the Sedation effect, Yachiru frowned. "Kenpachi, you won't last long like this!"

As long as the swifts keep flying, the Sedation rain will keep falling. If Tsuna keeps dodging and not attacking, Kenpachi will eventually be dragged back into the same static state as before.

"I can't worry about that now. Before that, I have to at least cut him once!" Kenpachi said fiercely. He had already figured it out. He wasn't good enough to fight Tsuna like this. As long as he landed a single blow, he would consider it a win!

"No! Kenpachi, cooperate with me!" Yachiru, unusually, disobeyed Kenpachi's orders and took the initiative to command, "Envelop me in spiritual pressure to reduce energy consumption!"

Despite disagreeing with Yachiru's ideas, Kenpachi did as Yachiru said, as if some unseen force was telling him that it was the right thing to do.

Yachiru, who was perched on Kenpachi's shoulder, was enveloped in a yellow spiritual pressure, while Kenpachi himself was exposed to the rain and his movements began to slow down.

Tsuna watched Kenpachi and Yachiru's actions quietly. This wasn't a fight to the death, just training; there was no need to chase after them.

Suddenly, Tsuna saw Kenpachi start running. Although it looked a bit awkward, he was definitely charging towards him.

No, it's not so much that Kenpachi is running, but rather that Yachiru is running. She's frantically moving around on Kenpachi's back, and Kenpachi is following her Yachiru.

Mechs and pilots?

These two words appeared in Tsuna's mind, and Kenpachi had already slashed at Tsuna with his sword. Tsuna calmly raised his sword to block, but Kenpachi changed the direction of his sword and slashed down to the right.

That's how it is, that's how you fight. Kenpachi realized that his attack movements and his body's reactions were exactly the same. Even if he were to do it himself, he wouldn't be able to do it any better. Yachiru understood him very well. It felt like the two of them were sharing one body.

Tsuna did not use any other Shigure Soen Ryu techniques; he simply fought against Kenpachi Zaraki, one move at a time.

Tsuna noticed that the more times he attacked, the Kenpachi Zaraki's movements became, and even his awkward movements started to look normal.

Kenpachi would even occasionally unleash spiritual pressure from his arm or Zanpakuto, Yachiru would perfectly coordinate with Kenpachi's ideas in pursuit of a striking effect.

Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi are thinking in sync...
