"You've stabbed yourself in the back, so let's just forget about it," Tsuna said.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold again. Unohana Retsu and Kenpachi Zaraki looked like they were just watching a show, with no intention of intervening at all. The other Bleach, who didn't even Bankai, had no right to stand up and speak.

Renji quickly went to Tsuna and urged, "Sawada-sensei, weren't you going to take me to find Ichigo Kurosaki? Let's go quickly."

Tsuna glanced at Unohana Retsu and Kenpachi Zaraki below, then at Renji, and decided to give this familiar face from his memories some face.

"Chōjirō Sasakibe, after this incident, I will personally visit the First Division." After saying this, Tsuna turned and left with Renji.

Tsuna's words made Sasakibe tremble with anger. Not only had he failed to fulfill Captain-Commander Yamamoto's request, but he was also causing trouble for him. How could he possibly live up to the Captain-Commander 'Captain-Commander Yamamoto?

Driven by loyalty, Sasakibe instinctively took a step forward, but he was stopped by Unohana Retsu just as he began to move.

"Sasakibe, I advise you not to go looking for trouble with him. Sawada Tsunayoshi definitely has a backup plan. If he goes all out from the start, I won't even last a single round against him." Unohana Retsu glanced at Sasakibe and sneered, "You? Forget it."

"Captain Unohana, do you think I'm no match for him?" Sasakibe remained defiant.

"You know your own strength best. This Bankai, hidden for a thousand years, is nothing special when used today," Unohana Retsu said.

Although Unohana Retsu has not used a sword for many years in order to suppress her bloodlust, she still learns Kido, Flash Step and other abilities to enhance herself.

The Sasakibe, however, is different. On the surface, they follow in Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's footsteps and become the Vice-Captain of the First Division. In reality, over the course of a thousand years, the Sasakibe has rarely fought. When there is nothing to do, they serve Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and relay Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto orders when necessary. All their actions are carried out by the other division captains.

The Bankai of the Sasakibe is stuck in its form from a thousand years ago, and its current strength is only that of an ordinary captain. How can it Shin'uchi against Tsuna with such strength? Let alone Unohana Retsu, it might not even be able to defeat Kenpachi Zaraki at any moment.

Sasakibe was furious, his face turning red, but he was powerless to refute it; the best fact was that he couldn't even last a single round against Tsuna.

"Everyone, disperse. Go back and treat the wounded," Unohana Retsu said. "Oh, Isane, find someone to repair the garden. I'll pay for it."

Few members of the Fourth Division are particularly poor; their medical skills are highly valued everywhere, and Unohana Retsu, as the Fourth Division Captain, is certainly not short of money.

With the help of Kotetsu Isane, Unohana Retsu returned to her room, where two people were already waiting for her.

"Ah, Hana, are you feeling alright?" A cute pink-haired girl scurried up to Unohana Retsu and asked.

"It's Yachiru. I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well right now. Would Isane treat Captain Zaraki?" Unohana Retsu said gently, as if speaking to a child.

Unohana Retsu mistakenly thought that Yachiru had brought Kenpachi Zaraki to her for treatment, Kenpachi Zaraki's hands had just been injured.

"Kenpachi isn't here for treatment. Kenpachi has something to ask you," Yachiru said.

"Captain Zaraki?" Unohana Retsu was somewhat surprised. When did Kenpachi Zaraki start caring about things outside of battle? "What is it?"

"That guy, Sawada Tsunayoshi, just how strong is he? Does he really dare to challenge Old Man Yamamoto?" Kenpachi Zaraki didn't care about his injuries at all; what he cared about was whether Tsuna's strength would affect his decision to challenge him.

"I don't know. Anyone who dares to say they visited the First Division must know something about the Captain-Commander, right?" Unohana Retsu said.

There are no fools among the captains. Although it has been a long time since we have seen Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, as long as Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto appears, his aura alone can suppress all the commotion. From this, we can guess that Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto possesses extremely terrifying power.

Hearing a completely uncertain reply, Kenpachi Zaraki turned to another question, "Can I learn swordsmanship?"

"Oh? I didn't expect Captain Zaraki to be interested in swordsmanship."

Unohana Retsu was somewhat surprised. If Kenpachi Zaraki had asked her this before they met Tsuna, she might have been pleased. But after Tsuna battle, she remained calm.

Unohana Retsu quickly realized why Kenpachi had asked that question, "Is it because you want to improve your strength through swordsmanship?"

The only thing that can motivate Kenpachi Zaraki is fighting. And the Kenpachi is asking about swordsmanship now is also to fight Tsuna. He can clearly feel that he is not as good as Tsuna. In order to enjoy the fun of fighting, Kenpachi Zaraki is eager to improve his abilities.

Kenpachi Zaraki didn't speak, but Unohana Retsu understood what Zaraki meant. "If the Captain-Commander agrees, that's fine."

Kenpachi Zaraki is a special case. He is extremely strong, and even when he was a child, he was able to injure Unohana Yachiru, First Kenpachi.

Kenpachi Zaraki loved fighting too much. In order to enjoy the battle, as he grew stronger, Kenpachi Zaraki gradually sealed away his power. This included wearing an eyepatch that could limit his spiritual pressure. He was essentially giving himself a negative buff, just to maintain the same level of strength as his enemies and enjoy the fight.

But now Kenpachi Zaraki has encountered Tsuna, and he desperately needs stronger power to enjoy fighting with Tsuna. From Unohana Retsu's battle, he saw the path of swordsmanship.

However, precisely because of Kenpachi Zaraki's special circumstances, Kenpachi needs the approval of the Seireitei to learn swordsmanship. No one can guarantee that Kenpachi, after his power is unleashed, will not become a demon who only knows how to kill.

After getting the answer from Unohana Retsu, Kenpachi scoffed and left. He figured that Old Man Yamamoto would never agree to him learning swordsmanship. In Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's view, as long as he was in Seireitei, he could suppress everything that threatened Seireitei, and there was no need for Kenpachi to make any unnecessary improvements.

"Oh my, Sawada Tsunayoshi, your charm is truly powerful," Unohana Retsu murmured as she slowly lay down.

First Division hearing Chōjirō Sasakibe's reply, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto surprisingly didn't get angry. Instead, he kept rubbing his cane with his palm. He hadn't heard such provocative words in a long time. Faintly, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was even a little expectant. Would Ryūjin Jakka hadn't been used for so long, still be sharp?

"Chōjirō, how long has it been since we sparred?" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto asked.

"Captain-Commander- in-Chief, we haven't fought since you agreed to let me follow you," said the Sasakibe respectfully.

"Has it been over a thousand years?" A look of reminiscence crossed Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's eyes. He then said to Sasakibe, "Chōjirō, relieve some of the pressure on your shoulders and hand the team over to the others."

What do you mean?

"Let's practice sometime; your Bankai has a lot of potential."

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was somewhat annoyed by the fact that after Sasakibe Bankai, he was easily defeated by Tsuna. He hadn't expected that Chōjirō Sasakibe, who had followed him for so long, hadn't improved his strength at all, and was only focused on exhausting the team's affairs.

"Thank you very much." After this sparring session with Tsuna, Sasakibe once again felt a thirst for strength. What could be more gratifying than Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's personal instruction?

Yoruichi and Tsuna returned to the Four Great Noble Clans one after the other. Yoruichi spent a lot of time comforting Soi Fon's broken heart. When Tatsuki saw Tsuna, she rushed into Tsuna arms and knocked the somewhat exhausted Tsuna to the ground.

"What's going on? Your spiritual pressure was so violent just now?" Yoruichi asked curiously. Compared to the stronger yet calmer spiritual pressure that Tsuna and Unohana Retsu had during their fight, she was more interested in the spiritual pressure generated by Tsuna's Lightning Release: Resurrection.

"Stop talking about it. I was ambushed by an old coin. If no one had stopped me, I would have Zanpakuto into pieces." Tsuna gritted his teeth as he spoke of the ambush by Sasakibe, sharing the story of Sasakibe's ambush with Yoruichi and the others.

"Tsuna, your injury? Let Orihime take a look!" Tatsuki said.

"It's alright. After we rescue Rukia, I'm definitely going to the First Division and teach that old bastard a lesson." This anger just wouldn't sit still.

"First Division? You're courting death, don't drag Lady Yoruichi down with you, you ignorant fool!" Soi Fon in; in the entire Soul Society, only Yoruichi could enjoy her gentle treatment.

Tsuna then noticed the petite figure behind Yoruichi. "Who is it? Captain Soi Fon, I'd like to interview you. Did you cry? When you saw Yoruichi, did you burst into tears like an abandoned brat?"

Soi Fon's face flushed bright red instantly. How did this person know about her past? To hide her embarrassment, she angrily yelled at Tsuna, "You wretched guy, I have to teach you a lesson!"

As soon as Soi Fon finished speaking, Tatsuki's figure appeared in front of Tsuna, looking like she was protecting her husband. Soi Fon felt a toothache just seeing Tatsuki; this woman's Flash Cry was even more perfect than hers. For the time being, Soi Fon really couldn't do anything about Tatsuki.

Tsuna took Tatsuki's hand and walked into the inner room. As long as they and Soi Fon Yoruichi on the same side, Soi Fon would never be an enemy.

"Come on, Renji." Tsuna didn't forget Renji, who was with him. Renji was so scared when he saw that everyone here was a captain-level fighter that he felt like he was invisible.

Inside the room, Ichigo had regained consciousness. He was sitting on his bedding, with Orihime Inoue beside him, though his expression seemed a little off.

"What kind of expression is that? That pathetic look, like Hachi being used by a bear to wipe its butt." As soon as the door opened, Tsuna started teasing Ichigo as Ichigo.

Ichigo was immediately furious. "What do you mean... 'white rabbit'? Couldn't you have come up with a better analogy?!"

"See, that's right," Tsuna said.

Upon seeing Tsuna and Tatsuki appear, Ichigo's guard lowered slightly, and his expression returned to normal, though a hint of awkwardness was still visible on his face.

"What do you mean 'right'? What do you know..." Ichigo muttered.

"I don't understand, but if you're not broken, get up already." Tsuna slapped Ichigo on the Ichigo without any mercy. "Look who I brought! There's not much time left before Rukia's execution, so get back to training. Every little bit of improvement counts."

Ichigo endured the burning pain in his back. Only then did he notice Renji, who had come in with him. Renji's arrival did not cause any emotional fluctuation in Ichigo.

"Him? To be honest, it would be more practical for you and me to Tsuna."

The performance of Renji in the battle with Ichigo was rather disappointing. Ichigo even looked down on Renji's strength. What Bankai? It was still completely countered by Ichigo's Tensa Zangetsu.

Ichigo's words unsurprisingly ignited Renji's anger. "Ichigo Kurosaki, what do you mean?! I just finished training yesterday and I'm not very strong. Now you fight me again, right now!"

Tsuna chimed in, "Brother, I've fought several major battles in a row, and I'm completely exhausted."

Tsuna himself was shocked when he counted them up. From this morning until now, he had defeated six opponents with the strength of captains: Toshiro Hitsugaya, Kenpachi Zaraki, Kaname Tōsen Sajin Komamura, Unohana Retsu, and Chōjirō Sasakibe. Among them, Unohana Retsu was the most reckless, and he almost lost.

Tsuna has absolutely no motivation to train Ichigo anymore, so this important task falls right into Renji's hands.

Instigated by Tsuna and Renji, Ichigo immediately regained his enthusiasm and, without saying a word, asked Yushiro to find them a training ground so he could teach Renji a lesson.

Seeing Ichigo regain his energy, Orihime Inoue smiled happily. When she was alone with Ichigo, Ichigo emotions were not right. Fortunately, after Tsuna brought a group of people in, Ichigo's emotions gradually returned to normal.
