Chapter 53 Retsu Unohana

Kenpachi thought that his provocation skill was pretty good but look at Ichigo now. He knew that it didn't work at all.

"Huh, So what do I have to do to let him fight me?"

Kenpachi suddenly asked Soifon. He scratched his head.

"That woman didn't teach me anything more than that."

No one knew who "That woman" Kenpachi was talking about.

Soifon didn't answer him. Ichigo wasn't strong enough to face a captain level yet.

Or unless he used everything and made a mess out of it which wasn't worth it at all.

And as they were in stalemate. Someone came and broke it.

"I think you should let them go for now. We still have our duty to take care of."

It was a woman that gave the hollow inside Ichigo the feeling of oppression.

She was the captain of the 4th division. Retsu Unohana.

"You again woman. Can't you just leave me alone and have fun!"

Kenpachi felt annoyed but he did as the woman said. He looked at Ichigo.

"I will let it go this time. But next time you will have to fight me in an official duel."

Ichigo just smiled and thought that he won't be coming back to Seireitei anytime soon because there's nothing but trouble here.

If possible he wanted to go to another place in the supernatural world.

"Thank you so much Captain Unohana."

Soifon thanked Unohana. She was the only person in Seireitei that nobody wanted to mess with.

the 4th division was in charge of the hospital after all. If they had a problem with the one who would heal them then. They could say goodbye to this world faster.

"Don't mention it, Captain Soifon. It's just a simple matter. But can I have a moment with your assistance first. I promise you that I won't try to recruit him. I am just curious about his Kaido skill."

Kaido = The way of healing

Hearing that Soifon felt relief. It was normal for her to be curious as the rumor about him was revolving around as a Kido genius.

She looked at Unohana's beautiful face and then her body.

Even though she is quite old, men like women like that right.

'Why did I think about something like that…'

Soifon denied her inner thought and looked at Ichigo.

Normally, captains had a certain degree of control over their subordinates. But to her he wasn't just her subordinate.

So she needed to ask his opinion first.

Ichigo nodded at her. He also wanted to know more about Kaido.

Even though he was already at the master level at Kido but that was every way combined.

His Kaido skill was pretty good because of Hanakami but without it he would be just at expert level at best.

"Then do as you please. I am going to wait for you here."

This was the first time that a captain would wait for the subordinate.

Unohana looked at Soifon and was impressed how the young boy could take the heart of the most hard headed woman in Seireitei.

"Ara Ara, This is pretty unexpected but please come this way."

Unohana then invited Ichigo to a more private place. Leaving Soifon to wait for Ichigo there.

…

Isane was surprised that her captain would be interested in Ichigo.

She invited him to drink tea with her.

She never saw her invited anyone before since she was appointed as her vice captain.

"So can you show me your Kaido?"

Unohana didn't beat around the bush and ask him to show her his Kaido skill after they drank a little bit of tea for formality.

Ichigo nodded.

He also didn't want his captain to wait for him for too long.

He called Hanakami and then used the way of healing.

It made Unohana and Isane feel very calm to their very souls.

"This is interesting…"

Unohana looked at Ichigo in surprise. She didn't think that his Kaido skill would be this high.

Except her. No one would be able to compare to him.

'King, I felt the blood lust that the woman hid inside calm down. Your way of healing can even heal demons!'

The hollow inside him felt excited.

Ichigo ignored his hollow and looked at Unohana very carefully.

He could feel that Unohana genuinely smiled right now and not the fake one that she always wore.

"You are very interesting. If you ever have a problem in Seireitei just call for me. I will help you deal with anything once."

He gained her favor just by doing a simple healing. That's a great deal if the woman didn't go back on her word later.

"Thank you."

Unohana and Ichigo then have some tea together before he excused himself to see Soifon.

He didn't know if he stayed there longer than he should. Would the woman jump on him?

He felt like the woman had held herself back somehow.

…

Isane looked at Unohana who continued drinking her tea after Ichigo left.

"Captain, His healing skill is really good. Do you think he would join us if we asked him?"

Isane knew that with his talent. Soifon would never give him to anyone. But it wouldn't hurt to try right.

Unohana shook her head before she replied gently.

"He is a warrior before he is a healer."

Isane was surprised that her captain would say that. That means he should be very strong if his fighting ability was stronger than his way of healing she just witnessed earlier.

"There's no point in thinking about it. He would sooner or later become a captain."

Unohana was confident that his fighting ability might be more than what he let on.

'He's like me who hid the beast inside. I will test him later when no one is around…'

Her eyes changed but went back to normal very quickly.

She then stood up and told Isane to follow her back to 4th division barrack. She still had many things to do.
