Bleach: After Retiring From Zero Division, Aizen Came To Study

Chapter 9: You Were Cuter When You Were Young



"Your cutting skills are still as exquisite as ever!"

Among the fourth teams, the discussion between Arima and Unohana Retsu did not last too long.

After the discussion, they fell into a stage of bragging to each other.

Arima praised Unohana Retsu for his exquisite cutting skills. This was a matter of course. After all, he was the Yachiru who once boasted of mastering all kendo and sword-style skills.

Unohana Retsu also praised Arima.

"You are indeed a strong man who has been promoted to that place. Even after so many years, it is a pleasure to compete with you."

"If possible, I really want to have a hearty fight with you without reservation."

Arima quickly refused, "This matter can be avoided. I have retired now and have stopped fighting for a long time."

"Although I am now teaching at Mao due to Yamamoto's re-employment, I am still teaching calligraphy and other things that can cultivate my sentiments."

Unohana Retsu's originally depressed mood improved a lot because of his fight with Arima.

After hearing this, she gave Arima a meaningful look.

"But you didn't give up your knife after all, right?"

As long as the sword is still in the hand, as a Shinigami, there is no way to avoid the fate of fighting.

This is Unohana Retsu's own personal experience.

Once upon a time, she thought that by giving up the name of Kenpachi, turning from a killer to a redeemer, and coming to the Fourth Division, she could forget everything and stop fighting.

But as long as the knife is still around, even if it is the healing side.

Unohana Retsu knew that he still couldn't let go.

Over the years, she has been waiting for the boy who gave her the scar in the past to come to Seireitei and come to her.

Unfortunately, I haven't waited for that day yet.

But Unohana Retsu believes that the other party will come sooner or later.

Because the other person's nature is so aggressive.

When he discovers that there is no strong person to fight among Rukongai, he will naturally come to Seireitei where strong people gather, join Gotei 13, and become Shinigami.

Arima smiled and did not respond to Unohana Retsu's words.

From the training ground of the fourth team, he returned to the captain's room of the fourth team.

Unohana Retsu put away the ruined tidbits in front of Arima and swept away the trash. He did not take the initiative to tell Arima why he broke the tidbits.

Arima also never asked.

The two of them chatted for a while.

Finally, Arima left.

Watching Arima leave, Unohana Retsu's depressed mood completely recovered.

If those rumors hadn't spread to the fourth team.

She really didn't know that this guy had quietly returned to Seireitei.

What exactly the other party has been through, Unohana Retsu has no way of asking.

But what made her angry was that after the other party came back, he didn't come to see her immediately, and he didn't even know to say a word to her. In the past, he always came to her every two days, and asked her not to stay cold for a while. Open your face and be gentle.

Unohana Retsu couldn't help but think of the scene when he got along with Arima when he was still working as Kenpachi.

Although Arima is a Shinigami of the 12th Division, he likes to learn and often comes to her to ask her for tips on cutting techniques. Although she is a little impatient, she can't stand it. Arima is very qualified and ends up teaching him a lot.

As for Arima's words asking her to be gentler, she didn't take it to heart at all.

It wasn't until she later became the captain of the Fourth Division, gave up the slicing technique that she was proud of, and focused her energy on saving people as Kaidō that her concepts and ideas gradually changed.

The words Arima said came to her mind again.

It's a pity that after that, Arima has become the captain, and it is impossible to come to her and say these words again. After all, his identity has changed. After that, Arima was promoted to the zero team.

Unohana Retsu didn't know much about it.

She never thought that now, among Seireitei, she would see Arima again.

Arima is back again.

"If you think about it carefully, you were more...cute when you were young."

It's hard to imagine that such a term as "cute" would come from Unohana Retsu.

But this is indeed what she really thinks.

Although Arima looks young now, if his age is taken into account, as a Shinigami who existed when Gotei 13 was founded, he is really not young.

Although he was a little angry at those rumors before, he was angry because Arima came back and went to find his old subordinates as soon as possible.

But fortunately, Arima came here in time and had a discussion with her.

The sullenness in her heart gradually dissipated.

After all, she is not a petty person herself.

"It's good to be back."

Unohana Retsu muttered again.

In this day and age, there are really not many old friends of Arima.

Except for Unohana Retsu, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Chōjirō Sasakibe and other captains and deputy captains who have existed since the establishment of Gotei 13, there are only Kyoraku Shunsui and Jūshirō Ukitake who have followed Yamamoto since childhood, and they are not too young.

Hikifune Kiryu, the former subordinate of Arima and now the captain of the twelfth division, is naturally one of them.

In addition, there are several old people who have retired from Gotei 13.

Arima accepted Kyoraku Shunsui's suggestion.

During this time, I went to meet these old guys one after another.

They are naturally very happy for Arima to return to Seireitei.

In the blink of an eye, for most of the month, Arima was catching up with old friends and re-adapting to the past in Seireitei. In addition, the biggest gain was to find several suitable fishing spots and build a set of fishing gear. Go try fishing.

I don't know if it was the novice protection period, but he, who was not very good at fishing, actually caught something for the first time. Although the fish was not big, he still enjoyed the joy of harvesting prey.

On this day, he had another class.

Arima prepared a little and went straight to the calligraphy classroom.

In the last class, there were only three students, which made him realize that the calligraphy class was unpopular.

This time, he thought there were still only three students.

The result was beyond his expectation.

There were actually more than a dozen students.

There are men and women among them. These students from the Academy include juniors and seniors.

After they saw Arima, their eyes were all burning, as if they had seen some great big shot.
