Chapter 421: Creation
"By the way, the ’Kin’ you used this time and the ’Amenominaka’ from last time—whose Zanpakutō abilities are those? I’ve never seen them before."
Retsu Unohana fell into thought, memories flooding her mind.
In all the centuries she had lived, she had never encountered Zanpakutō abilities with such overwhelming power. Someone capable of wielding that kind of strength wouldn’t go unnoticed.
Could they be from hidden figures operating in the shadows, too afraid to reveal themselves? If that were the case, they couldn’t be ignored. If those abilities belonged to an enemy, being caught off guard could be disastrous.
She gave herself credit for her caution and nodded slightly as she snapped back to the moment.
But instead of a Zanpakutō, what filled her vision now was the face of a man leaning in close.
Any ordinary girl might’ve blushed and backed away.
But Retsu Unohana didn’t flinch. Calmly, she placed a light kiss on Masatsuki Aozaki’s lips.
"You little troublemaker, ready to talk now?" Her voice was warm, laced with teasing.
Masatsuki smiled faintly and took her soft hand in his. Despite all her years of sword training, her hands remained smooth and fair, without a trace of calluses.
"Alright, alright. I’ll tell you the truth. Those two swords weren’t inherited or found anywhere—I created them myself."
Unohana blinked, clearly surprised.
