Kenpachi Zaraki (Young Version) / Young Kenpachi vs. Unohana

Three days later, Ukitake's mother, the silver-haired young woman, came to pick up her son from school. When she saw her son playing happily with Yamabuki Chidori, she was so happy that she almost cried.

Yamabuki Chidori reminded her that although Ukitake's body had largely recovered, he was still weaker than a normal person. He should take good care of himself and pay attention to exercise. He would definitely become a promising talent in the future!

The silver-haired young woman, along with Ukitake, expressed her gratitude repeatedly.

I'll be waiting for you in the future, Jūshirō Ukitake.

Chapter 31: Kenpachi Zaraki (Young Version)

After seeing the mother and son off, Unohana dragged Yamabuki Chidori out to work. Today was a routine patrol day. Every three to five days, the 11th Division would organize a group of members to patrol Rukongai. It was these patrols that made the security situation in Rukongai vastly different from what it was seventy years ago!

After having dinner, Yamabuki Chidori went to work with his wife.

In fact, the two of them rarely patrol together. After all, Yamabuki Chidori is only nominally a Lieutenant in the 11th Division, and Unohana usually handles all the affairs of the 11th Division by herself.

I don't know what Unohana was thinking today, but she insisted on dragging her husband along on patrol. Yamabuki Chidori couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had no choice but to go with her.

"Good morning, Captain! Good Chief Strategist!"

The team members stood ramrod straight. Having experienced the war seventy years ago, the 11th Division has become increasingly sophisticated in its overall personnel management, preparing them to handle any unexpected events that may occur at any time.

The two of them led twenty team members all the way to the furthest outskirts of the East District, the Gomukui District, but they didn't encounter a single petty thug along the way, which was incredibly boring.

The team members were also very relaxed. With the Captain and Lieutenant leading the team, they didn't have to worry about anything. It was wonderful!

"Captain, there's a grove of trees up ahead. Let's rest there for a bit!" one of the team members said.

Yamabuki Chidori and Unohana nodded slightly, ordering the team members to rest there, eat something and drink some water to replenish their energy.

Just as Yamabuki Chidori was about to drink some water, a cold wind blew by, and Yamabuki Chidori frowned slightly because he smelled a faint scent of blood in the cold wind.

Moreover, the smell of blood was mixed with the stench of decay, indicating that it couldn't have been as simple as a cut finger.

Yamabuki Chidori suddenly stood up, gripped her Zanpakuto, and said to her subordinates, "Something's up! Be on alert!"

Upon hearing the Lieutenant's words, all the team members drew their knives and looked around warily, but the surroundings were deathly silent, without a sound.

"Yamabuki, what did you find?" Unohana was also holding her knife, but she hadn't found anything.

She even began to wonder if her husband was neurotic.

"There's the smell of blood! A very strong smell of blood! Follow me!" Yamabuki Chidori quickened her pace and walked to the edge of the jungle. When she saw the scene before her, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

Because what lay before them was a mountain of corpses.

The corpses, large and small, were piled up here, forming a mountain. Because it was winter, the corpses were frozen solid. If it weren't for the extraordinary perception of the Yamabuki Chidori, one wouldn't have been able to smell the stench of decaying bodies.

The team members gasped. What was going on? Had a Hollow suddenly attacked?

For a moment, Unohana seemed to be transported back two hundred years. She calmly squatted down to examine the wounds on the corpses. She could confirm that the corpses had all been murdered, as they all had knife wounds.

"What a terrifying blade!" Unohana's expression was extremely solemn. Among the mountain of corpses, many people were wearing armor, and one of the corpses had been cleaved vertically by a sword, splitting the entire body in two from head to toe. Moreover, the two halves of the body were perfectly symmetrical, as if they had been measured with a ruler and then sawed apart bit by bit with a knife!

The sword of the person who makes the move must be extremely fast and incredibly powerful! Although Unohana could do it, she couldn't imagine who else in the Gotei 13 besides herself, the Captain Commander, and Yamabuki could do it!

Just as Unohana was examining her wound, a teammate behind her suddenly shouted, "Captain, watch out! It's above us!"

Unohana hurriedly looked up and saw a boy squatting at the very top of the mountain of corpses. The boy's eyes were empty, his face was sallow and thin, his hair was messy, and he was holding a Zanpakuto full of serrations, staring straight at her.

Before Unohana could even ask, the boy had already swung his sword down.

Quick!

Unparalleled speed!

Almost instantly, the knife in the boy's hand was already pressed against Unohana's shoulder, ready to stab her forcefully.

Unohana's sword strike was swift; she immediately drew her blade and slashed upwards, preparing to parry the boy's attack. However, the instant the two swords clashed, Unohana was astonished to discover that, in a one-on-one confrontation, she was at a significant disadvantage in terms of strength!

His sword slammed against the other's, but the boy's sword remained unmoved, piercing straight into his shoulder.

Suddenly, Unohana's vision blurred, and she was already gone from where she stood. When she came to her senses, she was already ten meters away. Yamabuki Chidori had one arm around his wife's waist, while watching the suddenly appearing boy warily.

A cold wind blew by, Unohana felt her underwear was soaked with cold sweat, and her forehead was also beaded with sweat. If it hadn't been for Yamabuki's sudden rescue, she would probably have been injured in one move. Although the other party was suspected of ambushing her, their strength was still not to be underestimated.

Looking at the wild-like boy before her, Yamabuki Chidori recognized him almost immediately.

Kenpachi Zaraki.

Moreover, it was Kenpachi Zaraki during his youth.

He was about to ask his wife to step back when his Unohana revealed a madness that hadn't flashed in seventy years.

These seventy years have passed so peacefully that Unohana has often forgotten that she is the Sword of Death Soul Society.

The young man's sword strike had just ignited her passion.

"Yamabuki, don't interfere, I'll be her opponent!" Unohana.

The joy of battle can only be felt when both sides are evenly matched. Yamabuki Chidori's strength has far surpassed that of Unohana. The two sides are not even on the same level. Even if they really fight, it will be a one-sided crushing defeat. The couple are well aware of this, so they have never fought each other in decades.

How could Yamabuki not understand what his wife was thinking?

Since she wants to have fun, let her relax. Anyway, I won't cause any trouble with me here.

Murderous look!

Like a tsunami crashing down on him, the boy's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared intently at the woman before him.

That's the killing intent that only the strong possess!

For young Kenpachi, there were no opponents as far as the eye could see. He could cut down anything as easily as cutting down wood, and one strike would kill a person. Over time, the boy lost the desire to fight and would cut down anything he saw, until today!

Young Kenpachi discovered that the woman before him gave him a completely different feeling.

It's like a poor man who's always been eating radishes, suddenly being invited to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

Of course, we have to savor it properly!

Chapter 32: Young Kenpachi vs. Unohana

The moment he sensed Unohana's murderous aura, young Kenpachi was initially filled with fear, because none of the enemies he had ever encountered had ever exuded such killing intent. Then came excitement, like a tiger that had been starving for seven days and seven nights finally finding prey that satisfied him.

What remains is the pure thrill of combat!

With a powerful kick, the young Kenpachi pounced on Unohana like a beast. Unohana, equally unwilling to back down, thrust her sword at the young man before her.

As the two swords clashed, Unohana discovered that her strength was at a significant disadvantage. At first, she thought it was because the boy's sneak attack had caught her off guard and she hadn't been able to use her full strength, but now she realized that wasn't the case. Her opponent's pure strength was far superior to hers!

With just one sword strike, Unohana's body was directly knocked back, but she was a veteran of countless battles. Although she was temporarily at a disadvantage, she remained calm and composed. Her body spun in the air and landed steadily on the ground.

A look of utter astonishment flashed in the young Kenpachi's eyes. Could there really be someone in this world he couldn't kill with a single sword strike?

He pounced on it like he'd found the most precious toy.

Unohana instantly changed her strategy, gripping the sword with both hands, instantly increasing its power two to three times. The two swords clashed again, and the immense Reiatsu crushed the surrounding trees. This time, however, Unohana gained the upper hand in terms of power, after all, it was two hands against one.

Unohana watched the boy warily. After suffering a loss with a one-handed sword, she assumed he would also use a two -Unohana handed sword. To her surprise, the boy completely disregarded his disadvantage in strength and pounced on her again like a wild beast, wielding a one-handed sword and making simple slashes.

Unohana paused for a moment, then she realized why the boy in front of her wasn't using a two-handed sword.

Because it simply won't happen.

This boy's fighting style was completely natural, like a tiger hunting its prey, without needing to deliberately learn any moves.

Even without training, a tiger remains a powerful predator; its strength is innate and pure.

The boy before me was like a tiger; though he may not have grown up yet, he already posed a threat.

"So... this boy doesn't know any swordsmanship and is fighting me purely on instinct?" For a moment, Unohana even questioned her life, wondering what the point of all those years of hard-earned swordsmanship training was.

In a battle between masters, life and death hang in the balance.

Unohana wavered for a moment, and her sword strike was instantly suppressed.

The boy's attacks were completely unpredictable, pure speed combined with pure power, and Reiatsu that overwhelmed ordinary Captain. He was like a meat grinder, a beast born purely for battle!

What surprised Unohana the most was that the boy's strength kept increasing during the battle.

At first, his two-handed sword could barely suppress his opponent's one-handed strength, but now, this boy can match his strength with both hands with just one hand.

"Can you increase your strength in battle?" Unohana glanced at her husband, which reminded her of the first time they fought.

However, back then, Yamabuki Chidori replicated swordsmanship, while the boy in front of her, who was like a ferocious beast, was improving pure strength.

"Clang!!!"

With a loud crash, Unohana's sword was knocked away, and the boy's sword struck Unohana's arm without hesitation.

"Puff!"

The Shinigami Uniform triggered a shield, Unohana took the opportunity to retreat hastily. Young Kenpachi seemed unable to understand why the woman's clothes suddenly glowed.

Unohana's clothes were soaked with sweat, and the cold wind made her feel icy cold all over. If it weren't for the shield triggered by her Shinigami Uniform armor, her arm would have been cut off by that sword.

"It seems I can't afford to be distracted when facing a master like you!" Unohana breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, she only had eyes for the young man charging towards her with his sword.

"Flash Blossom!"

Unohana vanished from her spot in an instant, and the young Kenpachi's pupils contracted instantly. He was a complete amateur, with no skills in either Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hohō, and Kidō, relying solely on his instincts to fight. So, for a moment, his small mind couldn't understand why his opponent had suddenly disappeared!

Unohana's figure had already appeared behind him, her sword slicing through the boy's arm, blood gushing out.

Pain!

The young Kenpachi grinned with a ravenous smile.

It hurts, but I feel happy about it!

The instant he was stabbed, he didn't hesitate to turn and swing his sword!

That sword strike was like a silver-red streak piercing the sky!

A slash struck Unohana in the abdomen, triggering her Shinigami Uniform armor's shield once more. Unohana could hardly believe her eyes, because the moment someone is injured, their attention is inevitably drawn to the pain and the wound, making it impossible to immediately launch a counterattack.

This is the experience she gained from countless battles.

However, all that past combat experience was completely useless against the boy in front of him.

You give me a sword, I'll retaliate with a slash!

"Hahahahahahaha!!!" The boy was like a madman, slashing wildly with his knife like raindrops.

As a master of Unohana today, Unohana's swordsmanship is unparalleled.

She could clearly see that the swordsmanship of these young men was full of flaws, and that she could immediately launch a counterattack and turn defeat into victory if given even the slightest opportunity.

However, the opponent's attacks were so fast and powerful that she didn't have a chance to catch her breath. Even though she clearly saw the flaws in the opponent's moves, her physical abilities couldn't keep up with her eyesight, and she could only watch helplessly as these flaws slipped away in front of her!

What is the true meaning of my two hundred years of swordsmanship training?

"Clang!!!"

Another fierce collision ensued, leaving several nicks on Unohana's blade. Her hands were split open, and blood dripped incessantly from her pale palms onto the snow.

Its power has increased again!

The boy's strength with one hand is now enough to overpower his own strength with both hands.

Is this what a true powerhouse is?

No training, just instinct!

Despite her injured hands, Unohana's attacks did not falter; instead, they became even more ferocious. As the young Kenpachi's swordsmanship grew faster and faster, the openings in his swordsmanship became fewer and fewer. Unohana was suppressed and could only parry and dodge, without any power to fight back!

The surrounding teammates were all stunned!

There are incredibly strong people in this world!

Since it can suppress that Sword of Death.

Yamabuki Chidori watched calmly. Although he was heartbroken that his wife was injured, Unohana was clearly very happy.

Taking advantage of a moment of evasion, Unohana lowered her left hand, revealing two hidden blades on her fingers, preparing to launch a sneak attack. However, before she could even throw the hidden weapons, Kenpachi's sword mercilessly slashed down on her shoulder!

The shield has been triggered for the third time!

Chapter Thirty-Three: Defeat

Young Kenpachi was very happy.

For the first time, he felt joy in battle; his blood was boiling.
