"It hurts!!!"
Without another word, Yamabuki Chidori smacked him on the head. "This was why you came today, wasn't it? You came looking for someone to spar with and picked me?"
Chizome Souya looked bitterly at his teacher. He had always wanted to keep his Zanpakuto's abilities secret. Before he completely defeated Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, he could not fight anyone else. The only person who could serve as his opponent was Teacher.
"Fine! It's been a long time since I stretched my limbs too. Eat first. After we eat, I'll have a good time playing with you." Yamabuki Chidori loosened up his joints.
He also wanted to see just how much the kid had improved over ten years.
Surging fighting spirit shone in Chizome Souya's eyes.
Kuruyashiki's Bankai ability was indeed powerful, but Chizome Souya still vividly remembered how Yamabuki Chidori had effortlessly neutralized Kuruyashiki Kenpachi's Bankai back then.
That meant that if he could defeat Teacher head-on, he should also have a way to neutralize Kuruyashiki's Bankai.
Thinking of that, Chizome Souya found his appetite much better than usual and even ate an extra bowl of rice.
Unohana merely watched it all with a smile.
I haven't been the big sister for many years. I'll leave matters like chopping people up to my husband.
After eating, the three of them went to the underground training ground together.
Chizome Souya's expression was incomparably grave. "Teacher, I hope you won't go easy on me. Let me clearly see the gap between myself and a true expert!"
Yamabuki Chidori revealed a troubled expression. That really was difficult.
"I'll do my best not to go easy on you! Come on!" Yamabuki Chidori beckoned Chizome Souya over.
Chizome Souya gripped his Zanpakuto and softly called its name. "Amatsuyu Tsuru."
The Zanpakuto's appearance did not change
