With Muramasa's help, the Zanpakuto of the training camp members were materialized one by one.

There were some like Hozukimaru, a burly man with red hair and dark skin, who immediately became sworn brothers with Ikkaku, and others who dressed up as peacocks and immediately confronted Yumichika. In short, the training camp was in complete chaos.

Hozukimaru was undoubtedly very satisfied with Ikkaku Madarame. After Ikkaku received the power of the Zanpakuto, Hozukimaru's strength increased dramatically, and he was no longer just a wooden stick that anyone could break.

As they talked, Hozukimaru and Ikkaku had already put their arms around each other's shoulders and headed toward an open space. If nothing unexpected happened, these two battle maniacs were preparing for a fight.

Compared to Ikkaku, his longtime partner Yumichika's life wasn't so easy.

"I thought you would call me by my old name."

"Ruri'iro Kujaku, those are all things of the past, let's not dwell on them anymore," Yumichika said helplessly, his Zanpakuto still harboring resentment over his past act of deliberately mispronouncing her name.

"Heh, now that the Squad 11 acknowledges Kido's strength, are you planning to call me Fujikujaku for the rest of your life?"

Yumichika was extremely troubled. Despite it being a male Zanpakuto, he detected a resentful, womanly tone coming from the Ruri'iro Kujaku's beak.

"Tsuna, I'm going to take Sode no Shirayuki home first," Rukia said as she walked over.

"Sure, it seems you two get along very well," Tsuna said.

Sode no Shirayuki gave a slight bow to Tsuna, knowing that Tsuna had also helped her master quite a bit.

"Yes, I'm going to start at home and let Sode no Shirayuki get to know me again." Rukia said happily. The way the two of them were getting along now really had a bit of the feel of the friends that Muramasa wanted.

After seeing Rukia, Ōmaeda also came forward with his Zanpakuto -no-Tsurugi. He had also come to say goodbye. Gogyō-no-Tsurugi's build and appearance were very similar to his own, which suited Ōmaeda's taste. He planned to take Gogyō-no-Tsurugi home and show it off.

No sooner Tian Gang Tsuna's head was assaulted by a wave of gentleness.

"Sawada -kun, I heard from Haineko that Hyōrinmaru is an incredibly handsome guy. When are you going to materialize Hyōrinmaru?" Only Rangiku Matsumoto could speak with such a flirtatious tone.

Her Zanpakuto is a catwoman with pink fur and short, deep red hair. Her figure and personality are very similar to Rangiku's, both being equally explosive.

Sure enough, the Haineko, who had only recently materialized, had already joined forces with Rangiku to go see the handsome guy.

"Do you need to ask me about Toshiro's situation?" Tsuna said irritably. "Let's talk about it after he's fully absorbed the power of Hyōrinmaru."

Rangiku immediately lost interest. Grabbing the Haineko, she said, "Come on, let's go drink... oh no, I mean train!"

Ever since the incident involving Tsuna Gin Ichimaru, Rangiku has never slacked off in training and has to keep an eye on the squad's affairs from time to time, which can be described as a double torment of body and mind.

Now that she has the opportunity to do anything under the guise of being on good terms with Zanpakuto, Rangiku is eager to take a break. She said this on purpose to Tsuna, just to vent her resentment.

Tsuna ignored Rangiku's complaints and walked towards the two silent people in the center of the field. The two had been staring at each other for quite a while without making a sound.

These two are Yoshika Izuru and his Zanpakuto Wabisuke. Wabisuke is a skinny, long-haired man with a huge stone slab on his back that makes it hard for him to stand up straight. He also carries a large iron ball on his shoulder. Like Izuru Kira, he is also the type who can't hold in a fart for a long time.

Izuru Kira looked at his Zanpakuto. He had tried to start a conversation, but no matter what he said, he was only met with silence. Was his unwillingness to speak his true nature?

Tsuna's arrival was Izuru Kira's savior. He quickly called out to Tsuna, "Sawada-sensei, is there some problem between Wabisuke and me?"

"Your Zanpakuto isn't one to talk much, so why don't you take it back and learn how to communicate with it over time?"

Izuru Kira Zanpakuto awkwardly. It was really difficult to handle when his Zanpakuto didn't want to talk. "Wabisuke, is it okay if we go back to the 3rd Division first?"

"No objection means agreement. Take your people and leave."

Izuru Kira left with Wabisuke. He had originally wanted to help Wabisuke carry the iron ball on his shoulder, but Wabisuke refused no matter what, mainly because Izuru Kira couldn't lift it.

"Sawada-sensei, I'd like to go back to my squad too."

As the number of people on the training field dwindled, Kotetsu Isane ran over, holding a little girl with blue and white hair in her arms. The girl looked about 70% like her.

Kotetsu Isane has always been somewhat dissatisfied with her height; she's too tall. She even envies other girls who are petite. It seems Isane's thoughts are reflected in her Zanpakuto.

"Sure, your task is to get along well with your Zanpakuto."

As soon as Tsuna finished speaking, the little girl in Kotetsu Isane's arms raised her hand, and a wisp of cold air was released from her hand, covering Tsuna's hair with a layer of snow white, which made the little girl giggle.

"Frozen Cloud! How could you do this! I'm so sorry, Sawada-sensei, I'll take her back first!" Kotetsu Isane quickly bowed and apologized, then picked up Frozen Cloud and ran towards the Fourth Division.

The mischievous little girl is the complete opposite of Kotetsu Isane. Tsuna shook the ice flowers off his head and walked towards the last person in the arena.

Hanatarō Yamada was sitting on the ground with his Zanpakuto, Hisagomaru, hugging his knees, chatting animatedly.

"What are you talking about?" Tsuna asked as he walked over.

"Ah! Sawada-sensei, I'm sharing my experiences of the past few days with Hisagomaru," Hanatarō said, immediately standing up.

Hisagomaru stood up, following Hanatarō's steps. He was a metal doll with a spherical head, a cylindrical body, and limbs connected by tubular metal and ball joints.

Seeing how closely Hisagomaru followed Hanatarō, Tsuna became interested. He had deliberately left Hanatarō for last because Hisagomaru's Zanpakuto was very special.

Tsuna squatted down and looked at Hisagomaru, asking, "Hisagomaru, is there anything you dislike about Hanatarō?"

Upon hearing Tsuna's words, Hisagomaru didn't react much. Instead, Hanatarō, as the master, immediately panicked. He kept waving his hands and covering his head, seemingly trying to stop Tsuna from asking questions while also reflecting on whether he had been too harsh on Hisagomaru.

"No, I'm very satisfied with Hanatarō," said Hisagomaru, shaking his head. "If Hanatarō doesn't want me to come out, I can immediately return to my Zanpakuto."

Just as Tsuna thought, the special thing about Zanpakuto Hisagomaru the emotion it has for its master.

In the story, Hisagomaru, who was bewitched by Muramasa, did not even harbor any resentment towards Hanatarō. Instead, he thought that Hanatarō had abandoned him, so he went to live in the sewers on his own.

Tsuna immediately thought of his Decimo Zanpakuto he learned Bankai. The Decimo originally intended to pass on Bankai to him directly, but after being forced to Zanpakuto Manifestation Device, he only went through the motions.

"No, no, Hisagomaru, I really enjoyed chatting with you." Hanatarō immediately stopped Hisagomaru and comforted Hisagomaru.

From Hanatarō's behavior, Tsuna understood why Hisagomaru had no complaints about Hanatarō anymore. Hanatarō was always considering other people's feelings, and even if it wasn't a complaint, Hanatarō would immediately comfort Hisagomaru.

Interesting. Tsuna looked at Hisagomaru and asked, "Hisagomaru, do you know Bankai?"

"Huh?"

Hanatarō was stunned. Shouldn't this question be directed at him? Why would Tsuna ask Hisagomaru? He doesn't even know Bankai, how could Hisagomaru possibly?

"Yes, I will," Hisagomaru replied honestly.

"Huh?" Hisagomaru's answer startled him so much that Hanatarō fell on his backside. Hanatarō's eyes widened in confusion. When did he Bankai? How come he didn't know?

"From the moment we met, Bankai has been available to you, Hanatarō," Hisagomaru kindly explained to Hanatarō. "It's just Hanatarō you lack confidence and haven't realized it until now."

"Why didn't I know about this?" Hanatarō occasionally practiced Blade Zen, and he had no recollection of ever hearing Hisagomaru mention this matter.

"It's because your spiritual pressure isn't enough. Forcing Bankai would cause severe damage to your body," Hisagomaru explained. "Unless you're in mortal danger, I won't tell you the name of your Bankai until your spiritual pressure is sufficient."

Once Hisagomaru explained it, Tsuna understood. Like Ichigo, Ichigo could actually use all of Ichigo's powers, but for various reasons, Old Man Zangetsu inside him limited his power.

So whenever Ichigo is in danger, he can unleash his full power. In fact, those powers have long been available to Ichigo, but Ichigo just doesn't know it.

Similarly, if Hanatarō were thrown directly into the front lines, he might immediately Bankai Hanatarō.

But Hanatarō is a member of the Fourth Division, whose main job is logistics and healing. Where would he find a moment of crisis?

Furthermore, Hanatarō lacked confidence to begin with, and preferred practicing the Dao to training his Zanpakuto and spiritual pressure. This resulted in him not seeing the treasure chest within his body that had already been opened.

This is the charm of a highly regarded Zanpakuto. If Hanatarō were given spiritual pressure of Captain-level or above, given the extent of Hisagomaru's approval of Hanatarō, Tsuna suspects that it wouldn't be long before Hanatarō would be able to complete the fusion of the Zanpakuto and master Beyond Bankai.

"Thank you for everything, Hisagomaru," Hanatarō said sincerely, believing that Hisagomaru had been worried about his safety.

"It's alright, you are my master, this is what I should do," Hisagomaru said matter-of-factly.

"Um, Sawada-sensei?" Hanatarō turned his head and saw Tsuna smilingly tapping something on the Gigai Communicator. For no reason, Hanatarō shivered.

"Hanatarō, your training needs to be changed from now on."

"You said."

"I've already informed your captain. She will be training you in spiritual pressure as soon as possible, aiming to meet Hisagomaru's requirements." Tsuna patted Hanatarō on the shoulder and said, "Until your spiritual pressure reaches the required level, let's put aside things like returning to the Dao for now."

"Sawada-sensei, how can this be? Returning the address is just as important!"

Hanatarō panicked. He joined the Fourth Division because he loved saving people, and now he wasn't even allowed to participate in healing battles. He immediately became anxious.

"Please ask Sawada-sensei to withdraw the training plan. I'll talk to the captain!" Hanatarō said, forcing himself to be brave. If he could, he really didn't want to face Unohana Retsu, but he had no choice.

"Stop resisting, boy. Your captain's personal guidance came at the cost of one of my opportunities to fight. Even if I agreed to your idea, Captain Unohana wouldn't."

Tsuna extinguished Hanatarō's glimmer of resistance with a single sentence. "Give up, just do your best. The sooner you reach the goal, the sooner you can return to a normal life."
