A Frenzied Blade Clash
Under Unohana Retsu's terrifying spiritual pressure, fortunately, the Fourth Division is not without capable individuals. Because of Tsuna and others, several Vice-Captain have gathered here, becoming the backbone of this incident.
"Everyone in the Fourth Division, be alert! Get the seriously injured out of the barracks first!" Kotetsu Isane commanded. She had originally wanted to find Unohana Retsu, but Unohana Retsu wasn't in the room, so she had to take charge.
Under Kotetsu Isane's command, some of the able-bodied members of the Fourth Division began to move, first pushing some of the seriously injured out of the barracks.
"Damn it, this injury is really troublesome." Kenpachi Zaraki complained as he pushed open the door. This kind of spiritual pressure looked like a very tempting prey, but his own condition was not good, and he was very disappointed that he could not face such an opponent directly.
"Kenpachi, let's help Kotetsu Isane first." Yachiru urged from Kenpachi's shoulder. As the president of the Women's Bleach Association, she chose to help Kotetsu Isane.
"Got it, trouble. Hey, Squad 11, get up and rescue people!"
Kenpachi's voice echoed throughout the Fourth Division. The Squad 11 Bleach, who had been sent to the Fourth Division by Uryū, were the ones whose injuries were not too serious. They all unleashed their potential to save others.
"Captain Zaraki, I'll help too." Shiba walked out carrying Sajin Komamura on his back; his back could carry two more people.
"And me." The door to the next room opened, and Shūhei Hisagi also carried Kaname Tōsen out, but Kaname Tōsen was clearly not injured or unconscious, was now completely motionless.
The group gradually moved out of the barracks, but this was still within the range of Unohana Retsu's spiritual pressure, and it would take some effort to leave immediately.
Just when everyone was working hard, an even more inspiring voice rang out, "Bankai, Hihio Zabimaru!"
A gigantic bone serpent had taken over the entire courtyard of the Fourth Division. Renji had used his Bankai. "Quick, everyone get on Zabimaru, I'll take you out."
Even after activating his Bankai Renji still had some confidence, but there was a slight tremor in his voice. Only Renji himself knew that after activating his Bankai, his spiritual pressure and this terrifying spiritual pressure were probably like fireflies and the bright moon. Even with Bankai activated, Renji did not think he would be a match for the owner of this terrifying spiritual pressure.
As for the owner of this spiritual pressure, Renji had a vague guess. Currently, two people from the Fourth Division have disappeared. If it wasn't Sawada Tsunayoshi, whom he had just met, it could only be Unohana Retsu.
Renji. The seemingly cunning and harmless Fourth Division Captain actually possessed such terrifying power.
With Renji's help, the members of the Fourth Division climbed onto the giant Hihio Zabimaru. Renji then manipulated Zabimaru to take flight, carrying everyone away from the Fourth Division's territory.
In the underground space of the Fourth Division, Unohana Retsu didn't move at all, but directly swung her sword at Tsuna. Her sword, carrying the liquid from the blood pool, lashed out at Tsuna like a long whip.
Tsuna hurriedly unleashed his Dance of the Waterfall, which reflected several of his own images. Unohana Retsu, however, was indiscriminate in her attacks, her long blood whip engulfing all of Tsuna. In one move, Tsuna's Dance of the Waterfall was completely broken.
Tsuna's eyes were full of apprehension. Unohana Retsu looked relaxed and carefree, as if she hadn't exerted any effort at all. Furthermore, thanks to the flushing effect of her blood Unohana Retsu's injuries had completely healed, and she was back to full strength.
Without waiting for Unohana Retsu to make her move, Tsuna must take advantage of the distance to strike first. Rain Flame filled his Right Katana, Special Style Right Katana - Rain Slash.
Hundreds of slashes flew out from the Right Katana. If the last rain of slashes was a drizzle, then this rain of slashes was a downpour.
Normally, an excessive number of slashes would not be able to hit the enemy completely. However, Tsuna had already used the Left Katana to unleash Mist Rain, and the Left Katana's Jiro had completely memorized Unohana Retsu's scent. Therefore, the rain of slashes that Tsuna unleashed with Kojirō would all land on Unohana Retsu.
Faced with Tsuna's dense attacks, Unohana Retsu remained completely unmoved, Everything's Gone afterimages as she swung her swords. Every strike from Unohana Retsu landed precisely on Tsunayoshi's Rain of Light attack, and Tsuna's charged attack didn't even raise a speck of dust, all of which was neutralized by Unohana Retsu.
She's very strong; Unohana Retsu in her Everything's Gone state is far stronger than the Bankai of an ordinary captain.
Both Rain Slash and Swallow Special Attack are powerful attacks in Tsuna's Bankai state, but neither of these moves can harm Unohana Retsu. Tsuna must think of other ways.
Tsuna was having a mental battle, and several blood blisters had already formed at his feet. Suddenly, Unohana Retsu appeared beside Tsuna Everything's Gone attacked. Before Tsuna could even react, Unohana Retsu slashed him away with a single blow.
Another wound appeared on his chest, and under the Sedation effect of the Rain attribute, a large X-shaped scar appeared on Tsuna's chest.
Unohana Retsu's speed, combined with her Flash Step and Blood Pond technique, was no less than that of Yoruichi, who was known as the God of Flash God. She used the same technique again, and this time Tsuna blocked her slash.
The Kojirō was flying around Tsuna, and raindrops fell from Tsuna's head, forming a simple rain space around Tsuna.
The moment Unohana Retsu appeared, rain also fell on her. The Sedation effect of the Rain attribute came into play at that moment, slightly slowing down Unohana Retsu's speed, allowing Tsuna to react in time.
The two exchanged blows several times in succession, with Tsuna barely managing to parry Unohana Retsu's attacks each time. Unohana Retsu eventually realized that it wasn't that her attacks weren't fast enough, but rather that she had slowed down.
A strange slash flew in an eerie arc towards the sky, instantly pulverizing the carefree Kojirō. Unohana Retsu regained her speed, and just as she was about to launch another attack, a dog's bark caused her to pause slightly.
Special Style: Left Katana - Rain Dog Menace
Taking advantage of this pause, Tsuna drew his sword and slashed horizontally. There was no point in running away anymore; he wasn't as fast as Unohana Retsu after her Bankai. It was better to launch a preemptive attack: Offensive Style Eighth Form - Bamboo Shoot Rain!
Four water columns suddenly erupted around Unohana Retsu, and she was directly cut into four pieces at the abdomen by this cross slash. Tsuna was also furious. If he didn't cut Unohana Retsu at this moment, he could only wait to be cut by her.
Just as Tsuna had guessed, his attack did not cause any damage to Unohana Retsu. Instead, a pillar of blood shot into the sky and engulfed Unohana Retsu. After the blood pillar dispersed, the intact Unohana Retsu stood tall and graceful.
Unohana Retsu reappeared before Tsuna, Everything's Gone ultimate attack once again transformed into a bloody Tsuna and lashed out at him. Tsuna continued to unleash rain, but he was surprised to find that the Rain Flame seemed to have no effect on Unohana Retsu.
Tsuna's right shoulder was ripped open with a wound. He couldn't block Unohana Retsu's attack. Then, another knife wound appeared on his abdomen. Unohana Retsu's Everything's Gone- Encompassing Swords bypassed Tsuna's twin swords defense at various bizarre angles, leaving wounds all over his body.
Tsuna was a little confused about what was going on. Neither Kojirō's Rain Formation nor Jiro's Rain Dog Menace had any effect. Without the Sedation effect, Tsuna's swordsmanship experience was far inferior to that of Unohana Retsu Yachiru.
Just as Tsuna was about to receive his tenth wound, he forcefully raised his spiritual pressure and managed to parry a blow from Flourishing Rain and Unohana Retsu.
In the instant that Unohana Retsu flying, Tsuna saw clearly what had happened to her.
The liquid from the blood pool extended into root-like veins that connected to Unohana Retsu's heels, making her feel as if her feet were rooted to the ground. Blood flowed continuously through these roots between Unohana Retsu's body and the blood pool.
Unohana Retsu is constantly undergoing a blood transfusion!
By replacing her blood, Unohana Retsu can eliminate her unfavorable conditions to the greatest extent possible, allowing her to maintain peak condition for battle at all times.
This is the power of Everything's Gone. The terrifying blood pool is merely a power that Unohana Retsu uses to maintain her state. Unohana Retsu's terror lies in her swordsmanship skills from beginning to end.
Tsuna was covered in wounds, all of which were temporarily sealed with Rain Flame, while Unohana Retsu probably hadn't even expended much energy.
Unohana Retsu did not immediately pursue, but sighed. She was also well aware of the difference in their strength. She had thought she would have a good time, but it ended after she only used Bankai once.
Well, this time I've stretched my muscles a bit, which is quite enjoyable. Unohana Retsu flicked the blood off Tsuna's sword and decided to deliver the final blow to Tsuna.
However, Unohana Retsu witnessed a strange scene. She saw Tsuna casually stick two katanas into the pool of blood, then pull out a white blade from behind him. To Unohana Retsu's disbelief, Tsuna plunged the White Blade into his own chest.
Unohana Retsu's cold expression was about to crumble. She hadn't expected Tsuna to be so self-destructive. She even considered using the Everything's Gone technique to heal Tsuna. It would be such a waste for someone she had finally encountered who could be considered a toy to die like this.
Tsuna wasn't what Unohana Retsu thought. He had only one purpose in drawing his White Blade: to use the Hollow power within him to Resurrección!
"Return to the Sea, Fish Dragon!"
The shackles on Tsuna's chest were released at that moment, and the Hollow's power, like that of a demon, instantly devoured him. The blue Hollow half covered his face, and symmetrical fins grew from his elbows, calves, and sides. A supple fish tail extended from Tsuna's lower back, slapped the blood pool, and immediately stirred up a ripple in the blood pool.
For the first time, Unohana Retsu's face showed a look of surprise. She was surprised that Tsuna could use Hollow powers, and happy that Tsuna hadn't given up yet, that the battle wasn't over, and that she still had time to enjoy herself.
After completing his Resurrección transformation, Tsuna redraws his two katanas, using both his Rain-attribute Bankai and Resurrección simultaneously—the strongest Tsuna -attribute ability he can unleash.
Tsuna raised a sword and pointed it at Unohana Retsu. This was the first time he had challenged Unohana Retsu to a fight. It didn't matter that his swordsmanship was inferior to Unohana Retsu's; he would use the Rain Flame that he could rely on to fight back!
"What is this? Why is there such terrifying Hollow spiritual pressure?" Renji exclaimed in surprise.
"It's that kind of spiritual pressure again. How did the Hollows invade Soul Society?" Shiba asked, puzzled.
"Has this kind of Hollow appeared before?" Renji asked. When Tsuna used Resurrección last time, Renji had already been defeated by Ichigo and was unaware of the previous Resurrección.
However, no one answered Renji's question anymore. Everyone was stunned by the terrifying pressure of the Hollow's spirit. Just how strong could an opponent capable of fighting such a Hollow be?
Could that amiable Fourth Division Captain really possess such terrifying combat power?
No one present was a fool. After Renji didn't see Unohana Retsu on Renji Zabimaru, they had already guessed that one of the owners of this terrifying spiritual pressure was Unohana Retsu.
The 13th Division barracks.
" With Sawada -kun doing this, the old man is really going to get angry," Shunsui Kyōraku remarked.
Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake have learned from Kugo Ginjo that the Hollow's spiritual pressure appearing in the Seireitei was released by Tsuna.
"Let's not talk about that. Shunsui, are we really going there?" Ukitake asked with some concern.
"There's no other way. At this point, the only places the Seireitei can hide people are those few places." Kyōraku's expression turned serious. If he and Ukitake guessed wrong, they would face punishment from the Central 46.
The temperature in the First Division Barracks rose rapidly, making the Bleach responsible for daily work somewhat uncomfortable. If it weren't for his duty to guard the entrance to the Muken, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto would have wanted to teleport to the Fourth Division right now and chop down that guy who dared to challenge the dignity of Soul Society.
