Chapter 32 Unohana's Selfishness
But because Unohana Retsu has no relationship with the 11th Division now, and very few people know her identity as the first Kenpachi, it is impossible for her to say such words to his face.
Xia Mu continued to teach.
Unohana Retsu commented to Xia Mu: "Your attainment in the Way of Rebirth is almost catching up with mine. I can't teach you much more."
"Captain Unohana, you are too kind. As the captain of the 4th Division, I don't think I can reach your level in such a short period of time."
"Moreover, as a veteran captain, the methods you master are definitely not as simple as just returning to the Dao."
"So, Captain Unohana, you can teach me a lot."
Xia Mu looked at Unohana Retsu sincerely, like a good student who was actively seeking to learn from his teacher.
Unohana Retsu felt Natsuki's gaze and was also stunned.
She couldn't help but think of Kenpachi Gosuke again.
Just like Kyoraku Shunsui, she was not optimistic about Gosuke becoming the new Kenpachi. She had told Natsuki at the beginning that the Shinigami of the 11th Division often came to the 4th Division to heal because they were often injured in battles. The relationship between the two divisions was very close and familiar.
As Gosuke was once the vice-captain of the 11th Division, Unohana Retsu was naturally familiar with him.
She knew how powerful Gosuke was.
Zaraki and Kuriyashiki, who were before Gosuke, were both well-deserved strong men.
The only one not is Gosuke.
In the past, she left the position of the first Kenpachi, and then left behind an inheritance ceremony unique to Kenpachi. Only those who defeated the previous Kenpachi could become the new Kenpachi. The purpose was to make the new Kenpachi stronger than the old one.
Each generation is stronger than the last. Sooner or later, a strong person will appear who will make her eyes light up.
Unohana Retsu left this tradition not to train strong men for the Gotei 13, but just to find an opponent with whom he could fight and enjoy the joy of fighting.
In her heart, she actually has a candidate.
She learned the Dao of Kai and took the initiative to step down from the position of the first generation Kenpachi, all in order to wait for that person.
She was looking forward to the other party coming to Seireitei.
Of course, it would also be a good thing if other masters who could fight with her appeared when the other party came to Soul Society.
Kenpachi Kuriyashiki is very strong, but he is still a little bit inferior to Unohana Retsu.
Kenpachi Zaraki defeated Kuriyashiki and was undoubtedly stronger, but she never had the chance to see Zaraki's strength.
If things go according to normal tradition, the subsequent Kenpachi will become stronger and stronger until the person she is expecting appears.
As a result, no one expected that a strong man like Kenpachi Zaraki would become his swan song.
Kenpachi's position fell into Gosuke's hands.
This means that even if a god of death appears in the future who defeats Gosuke and becomes the new Kenpachi, he may not be as powerful as Kurayashiki and Zaraki in the past, so she will have to wait for many years.
During this period of time, I often think about this matter.
Unohana Retsu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
At this moment, after hearing Xia Mu's words, for some reason, I suddenly thought of this matter again.
Then, Unohana Retsu looked at Natsuki again.
"Captain Unohana, is there something dirty on my face?"
Feeling Unohana Retsu's gaze, Xia Mu asked in confusion.
Unohana Retsu did not answer Xia Mu's question, but asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to learn the art of killing?"
Xia Mu's eyes suddenly became fixed. He knew a lot about Unohana Retsu.
The first generation Kenpachi was once known to have mastered all kendo and sword style skills, so he was also known as "Yachiryu". "Yachiryu" is a virtual number, referring to infinity. It can be said that Unohana Retsu is the person in Soul Society who is most proficient in all kinds of kendo and sword-slashing skills.
The slashing technique she mentioned was completely different from the slashing technique circulated in the Maou Spiritual Arts Institute.
"Captain Unohana wants to teach me the art of killing?" Xia Mu reacted quickly and asked Unohana Rei.
Unohana Retsu said: "As you said, as a veteran captain, I do know a lot of things. Apart from Kaido, I only have the ability to kill. If you are willing, I can teach you a thing or two."
"That would be great." An opportunity to become stronger was right in front of him, and Xia Mu certainly would not refuse it. He had said that before because he hoped that Unohana Retsu could give him some guidance in his cultivation.
Ordinary people only know that Unohana Retsu is the captain of the medical team, who is extremely kind but not good at fighting.
But Xia Mu knew very well that she could fight better than 99% of the Grim Reapers.
He is one of the most skilled Shinigami in combat among the Gotei 13.
In this way, in addition to learning Kaido, Natsuki also followed Unohana Retsu to learn the art of killing in the Fourth Division.
Xia Mu was very surprised why Unohana Retsu would teach him the art of killing.
Unohana Retsu's idea is very simple.
Since there were some problems with Kenpachi's inheritance, causing the position of Kenpachi to fall into the hands of a weak person, then she, the first generation Kenpachi, really cannot sit idly by. She doesn't mind personally training a strong man to take over Kenpachi's position.
Xia Mu often came to her to learn the Dao, and she could see Xia Mu's talent.
Determine whether a Grim Reaper can become a powerful one.
As for the control of spiritual power and the talent of ghosts, these are actually secondary.
The most important thing is its spiritual pressure.
Reiatsu determines the upper limit of the god of death.
The stronger the spiritual pressure, the higher one can reach.
When teaching Natsuki Huidao, Unohana Retsu naturally sensed Natsuki's spiritual pressure.
very powerful.
If, when Xia Muhui Dao was first taught, his perception showed that his spiritual power was only about the fourth level, then now it should be the third level.
At the fourth level, you can already serve as deputy captain.
The third level is the spiritual power level that only the captain of the Gotei 13 can possess.
It seems that there is only one level difference, but there is actually a huge difference between the spiritual power levels of the first three levels and the ones behind them. Xia Mu broke through this barrier in a short time and reached the third level of spiritual power. It is really terrifying.
Of course, this is not the main reason why Unohana Retsu is optimistic about Xia Mu. The most important reason is that Xia Mu's spiritual power is still growing, and the third level is not its limit. If it continues to grow, even she does not know how high Xia Mu will grow to.
She also knew about Xia Mu's past.
Even if one counts the few years in Hueco Mundo, currently, it is only the time it takes for a soul to graduate from the Maou Spiritual Academy and become a Shinigami.
This is a true genius.
Moreover, such a genius has not yet received instruction from the academy, which further proves that Xia Mu is a rough diamond.
There is nothing more satisfying than personally carving a piece of rough jade into something good.
Not to mention, doing this can also satisfy one's own selfish desires.
