Chapter 13: You Can’t Fool Me
Nenryu, Ittoryu, Shindoryu, Inryu...
From the World of the Living to Soul Society, she had mastered every sword style across history, wielding them effortlessly. This was the woman known as Retsu Unohana... No—Yachiru Unohana.
Her relentless bamboo sword strikes turned into a storm of countless afterimages, completely engulfing Masatsuki Aozaki.
Blows powerful enough to shatter stone rained down on him, yet Masatsuki intercepted every strike, his own bamboo sword absorbing the impact without forcing him to retreat a single step.
None of her sword techniques worked.
Not only were they ineffective—he was deciphering her techniques in real time, adapting, countering, and even using her own swordplay against her.
Masatsuki Aozaki stood firm, unshaken.
Unohana's mindset shifted.
She was no longer a teacher.
Now, she was the challenger.
And Masatsuki—he was the stronger opponent accepting the challenge.
