Chapter 23: vs Unohana

"Yeah, let's have some fun~"

As Yuna said that, she pulled out one of her swords and pointed it skyward.

"But first, let's prepare the location: [Freeze All of Creation and Consume it, Kurama]."

[*Urgh* I really don't like everyone knowing my name.]

'Want me to change it? It's not like I actually use your name.'

[Tell me the alternative name first.]

'Ten-Tailed Divine Ice Kitsune.'

[Yeah, let's stick with Kurama.]

'Got it.'

As Yuna and Kurama were bantering, Yuna's Zanpakuto changed form, becoming much bigger, broader, and longer while turning ice-like and somewhat transparent. Simultaneously, the temperature in the room started dropping drastically, and moments later, Yuna stabbed her sword into the ground, causing it to freeze.

"Kurama!? Wasn't it Chaos!? And what's with the ice!?"

Hearing Rangiku's outburst, Yuna simply chuckled in amusement and put her focus on the task at hand. Around a minute later, the whole underground cave was covered with a thin layer of ice that, surprisingly, no longer gave off a cold feeling.

"Well, let's seal this room up!"

As Yua said that, she twisted her Zanpakuto, resulting in quite a bit of Spiritual Power getting injected into the ice, resulting in a complex pattern of unknown symbols covering everything inside the cave.

Meanwhile, Unohana inspected everything happening around her with clear fascination in her eyes, and as soon as Yuna was done, she started talking.

"Fascinating. I have never seen a barrier Kido getting deployed like this, nor have I ever seen the one you used."

Hearing Unohana's words, Yuna shrugged her shoulders as if it was natural for Unohana to be surprised.

"That's only natural. After all, I'm the one who developed the Kido and the application technique."

Unohana nodded her head, clearly impressed by Yuna's words, but moments later, her mood switched back, resulting in an eery smile.

"Anyway, I hope you are ready."

As she said that, she slowly pulled out her Zanpakuto and pointed at Yuna.

"Because if you aren't, you will die."

With these words spoken, Unohana vanished from her position and reappeared in front of Yuna with her sword already swinging downward.

The sound of two swords colliding echoed through the room as two incredibly powerful Spiritual Pressures collided, causing space to tremble as a powerful shockwave obliterated the ground they stood on. However, the duo wasn't bothered by that in the slightest as they drew back their blades for another clash.

Again and again, the duo's swords clashed until Yuna overreached in one of her swings resulting in a small opening Unohana could utilize. A glint passed through her eyes as she stabbed toward the opening, but just before she could injure Yuna, her instincts flared, and she quickly put more Spiritual Power into her legs. This allowed her to vanish from her position just before multiple icicles stabbed into the space Unohana occupied not even a second ago.

"Are you sure you don't want to use your Shikai? Currently, I have a massive advantage due to my release."

As Yuna said those words, the air above her rippled, resulting in dozens of icicles appearing above Yuna's head. Seeing this, Unohana could only shake her head.

"Unfortunately, my Shikai is not a combat type, so this will have to do."

Unohana raised her sword and ran towards Yuna at high speed while Yuna's icicles started spinning and shot toward her.

She easily dodged the first one by slightly shifting her body to the side and redirected the next one with a precise palm strike to the side while destroying the next one by cutting it in half.

"Hahaha, nice! What great combat skills!"

Yuna couldn't help but get excited when she saw how Unohana skillfully weaved through the rain of icicles while slowly approaching Yuna's position. Yuna truly wasn't expecting that she would find such a skilled swordmaster, seemingly by accident.

'How truly lucky I am~ Pretty sure she is more skilled than anyone I have met in my second life if. Of course, that is if we are looking at skill alone and don't consider actually combat power.'

[What about Hinata?]

'Meh, I don't really consider her a swordsman, and I don't consider her assassin techniques to be swords techniques either.'

[Mhh, I see.]

Frankly, if it came to the pure skill with the sword, no one could match Unoha within Seireitei, and there was actually a pretty good reason for that. Unlike other Shinigami, she had no middle ground. She either had to win with her Zanpakuto in a sealed state or go full nuclear and use her Bankai, which would obliterate everything around her.

Anyway, while the duo was chatting, Unohana reached Yuna and swung her sword yet again, just for it to be blocked by Yuna's own. However, a smirk appeared on Yuna's face as she let go of her sword, causing Unohana's eyes to widen in surprise as a fist hit her stomach, sending her staggering backward.

"Hehe, got the first hit~"

'That's right, I didn't really pay attention since I was too engrossed in the battle, but the woman in front of me is an enigma. She should be a normal human around the age of 16 or 17, and yet she easily matches my skill with the sword. Considering how long I have been honing my skills, that's a time difference of multiple thousand years. No matter how much of a genius she is, that kind of bridge can't be crossed with talent alone. Clearly, she has quite a few secrets, which I find rather interesting. However...'

"Harem? I have no interest in carnal stuff like that. All I live for is for fighting strong opponents. I have not the slightest interest in sex or anything related to it."

Yuna couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment when she heard Unohana's claim.

"No interest in sex? That means you tried it before, right?"

"Yeah, I didn't see the point. Well, I know the point, but I don't see why people are so obsessed with it. Isn't it just an act to keep the family genes running?"

A glint passed through Yuna's eyes when she heard Unohana's words. She loved "convincing" people that sex was more than just an act to produce children.

"Hehe, since you don't seem to care about it, you surely wouldn't mind doing it a few rounds after I've defeated you? Let's see, how about calling it a challenge where I convince you that there is more to sex than just making children?"

Hearing Yuna's suggestion, Unohana only shook her head in denial.

"Doing a few rounds after defeating me? What are you talking about? After you defeat me, I'll obviously lose my life, so what's the point of it?"

Yuna was a little dumbfounded due to Unohana's words, but she quickly managed to regain her bearing.

"Haa? Why would you lose your life after I defeat you? I want you to be part of my harem, so why would I kill you? That's just silly."

This time, it was Unohana's turn to be dumbfounded. Here she was, giving it her all to kill her opponents, but her opponent apparently didn't show any signs of actually returning the favor.

"You... don't fight to kill me?"

Hearing Unohana's question, Yuna couldn't help but chuckle in amusement as the ten tails on her back started moving.

"Well, let me answer your question with another question: Do you think these ten tails are just for decoration?"

Unohana's eyes widened as Yuna's tails suddenly started moving, piercing towards her with ice-covered tips. She moved as fast as she could as she deflected a few tails with her sword while dodging a few more. Despite that, three of them managed to reach her, resulting in three bloody gashes appearing on Unohana's body.

"Well, ready to give up and have a few rounds underneath the sheets?"

Although Unohana heard Yuna's words, she didn't answer her and inspected the blood flowing down her body instead. She swiped some of it with her finger and looked at it with fascination.

"Just how long has it been since someone made me bleed~ Haa~ This is so exhilarating~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Spiritual Power gathered around her hand, which she casually swiped above one of her wounds, healing it instantly.

"You know, the was only one reason for me to learn how to heal people with Kido."

As she continued speaking, her hand resumed moving as well as it wandered from a wound to wound, healing them instantly as a deranged smile appeared on Unohana's face.

"I learned it to keep my opponent and me alive for as long as I can, to savior the fight as much as I can. Getting defeated, joining your harem, and whatever else there is, I don't care. Let's fight to our heart's content!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Unohana's Spiritual Pressure grew even further, and she attacked Yuna with a crazy smile on her face. Yuna's tails reacted instantly and stabbed towards her, but this time, she didn't retread, resulting in another set of bloody gashed appearing on her body.

However, those gashed started closing the moment they appeared, showing how ridiculously proficient Unohana was at Spiritual Power control, and moments later, she was within striking distance of Yuna.

As she slashed down her sword, Yuna moved her own to block it, but before the blades could collide, Unohana stopped holding her sword with two hands and used her left one to intercept Yuna's strike. This resulted in it moving out of the path of her own sword's trajectory, creating an opening while simultaneously reviving heavy damage to her own hand.

Yuna couldn't help but be surprised by such a suicidal move but nevertheless moved accordingly, tilting her upper body backward to dodge Unohana's attack.

Despite that, she was a little too late to fully dodge the strike, resulting in Unohana actually managing to cut deep into Yuna's armor and leaving a gash behind.

Obviously, Yuna wouldn't panic due to receiving such a simple wound and only swiped her finger over it, inspecting her own blood.

"Honestly, I'm not a fan of suicidal techniques like that, but considering how fast you heal, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. For you, this can't even be called a suicidal technique anymore."

Hearing Yuna's words, Unohana couldn't help but smirk as the wound she had just received was already healing at a visible pace. She wanted to get in a word or two, but before she could do so, she froze in place as incomprehensible powerful Spiritual Pressure erupted out of Yuna.

"Unfortunately, two can play this game!"

Unohana's eyes widened as the wound Yuna had just received knit itself together like it wasn't a big deal while Yuna's Spiritual Pressure continued rising.

"I see; you think you still have a chance due to your incredible healing techniques, huh? Very well, I wanted to save this for later, but I guess I might as well reveale it right now."

As soon as Yuna finished speaking, she raised her hand and put it in front of her forehead while making it look like a claw.

"Experience despair, HAHAHA!"

Before Unohana could realize what was going on, Yuna moved her hand downward, resulting in a fox-like mask appearing on her face. Additionally, as soon as the mask appeared, Yuna's Spiritual Pressure rose even further, almost causing Unohana to suffocate.

Seeing Yuna standing in front of her with her ten fox tails, ice armor, and Hollow-like fox mask, only a single thought passed through Unohana's mind.

'Where did this monster come from?"
