Shinigami: Medicine Can't Save The Soul Reaper Society

"Just you?!"

The moment Koga's confident and arrogant retort rang out, Makoto couldn't help but be stunned.

So… bold!

Whose subordinate is this? Such audacity!

Unohana, who had been keeping her eyes slightly lowered, as if devoid of any emotion, lifted them ever so slightly. With a trace of amusement, she murmured, "It's been over a thousand years since someone last said that to me. Interesting…"

As her words trailed off, her right hand slowly lifted the hilt of her Zanpakuto. The cold gleam of its blade caught the light as it was drawn from its sheath.

In that instant, Unohana's already terrifying aura shifted dramatically, and an overwhelming crimson spiritual pressure erupted around her.

Bloodthirsty. Powerful.

Koga's face stiffened as he felt the oppressive force bearing down on him. His mind went blank for a split second.

This feeling… It was as if he were standing before the Captain-Commander, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto!

Wasn't she supposed to be the captain of the medical division, someone who wasn't adept at combat?

Why?

Why did she possess such terrifying spiritual pressure?!

Koga's eyes widened in disbelief, and he suddenly felt as though everything he knew about the Gotei 13 had become unfamiliar.

Something wasn't right…

Why would someone with spiritual pressure far surpassing that of an ordinary captain choose to remain hidden in a medical division?

As Unohana's curved Zanpakuto traced a graceful arc through the air, she assumed a stance that unmistakably signaled her readiness to kill. Raising her head slightly, she spoke in an eerily calm voice.

"Koga Kuchiki, I will kill you. Not because you broke the Gotei 13's rules, but because you touched something you never should have."

With her words, the killing intent she had been concealing erupted entirely.

Pure. Overwhelming. Terrifying.

Though Unohana had yet to swing her blade, Koga felt as if countless invisible swords were already pressed against his spirit.

Fear… crept uncontrollably into his heart, transforming his once arrogant expression into one of panic. Desperately, he shouted, "Muramasa!!!"

In the next instant, as if responding to Koga's call, Muramasa's figure materialized beside him, positioning himself protectively in front of his master.

"Do not worry, my lord."

"Hm?"

Sensing something, Unohana's gaze shifted slightly to the side.

Standing atop a nearby building were eight figures, each exuding a powerful spiritual pressure. Though they maintained a spiritual form, they were not dressed in Shihakusho.

In their hands were familiar Zanpakuto—Sogyo no Kotowari, Kinshara, Shinso, Ashisogi Jizo, Suzumushi, and more…

Seeing these figures, Makoto instantly understood what had happened.

Muramasa hadn't appeared earlier because he had been following Koga's orders, lying in wait during the battle between the Visored and Aizen. Taking advantage of the Visoreds' momentary lapse in vigilance after releasing their Zanpakuto, Muramasa had pinpointed the locations of their Zanpakuto spirits and lured them into manifesting.

"Be careful, Unohana-sensei. These are the manifested forms of Zanpakuto…" Makoto instinctively warned.

Unlike the Hollowfication Incident, where Unohana had suppressed multiple Hollowfied captains alone, this time, they were facing fully aware, manifested Zanpakuto spirits.

The greatest danger lay in the fact that these manifested spirits retained the abilities of their respective Zanpakuto.

With such a combination of abilities, it would be nearly impossible to guard against all their attacks!

Even someone as formidable as Unohana might… encounter some trouble.

With Muramasa's arrival, Koga regained his composure. He casually slipped his hands into his pockets, his expression one of unshakable confidence.

Counting Senbonzakura and Muramasa himself…

'Wait, what?'

Koga glanced around, suddenly realizing that Shinro Bansho had vanished without a trace.

Even so, excluding Shinro Bansho, with Senbonzakura and Muramasa in addition to the eight Zanpakuto spirits…

"Nine against one. The advantage is mine."

Koga kept his hands in his pockets, speaking with an air of superiority.

"I've said it before. With just a little effort on my part, no Shinigami can stand against me. And you, a mere Fourth Division captain, think you can take my hostage?"

"Hmph. If you really want to kill me, go gather all the captains first!"

Meanwhile, Makoto, who had wrapped himself in bandages to play the part of a gravely injured victim, noticed a glint of excitement in Unohana's eyes.

It was as if she had initially intended to crush an insignificant insect but unexpectedly found something interesting to play with.

For a moment, Makoto couldn't help but inwardly scream in despair.

Koga Kuchiki…

I swear, I'll call you 'big brother.' Just stop talking!

If you keep provoking Unohana-sensei like this, bringing her more and more playthings to slaughter, I'm afraid she might get so caught up in the killing that she accidentally stabs me too!

It wasn't that Makoto doubted Koga's strength.

With the Zanpakuto spirit army Koga had assembled, even veteran captains like Shunsui Kyoraku, Jushiro Ukitake, and Ginrei Kuchiki would likely be overwhelmed and forced to retreat.

But Unohana… was different.

Based on what Makoto knew of her past and his personal experience, he understood that Unohana in a bloodthirsty state was an utterly terrifying existence.

Unfortunately, Koga was oblivious to Makoto's concerns.

Nine against one.

And each manifested Zanpakuto spirit was at least at the Vice-captain level, with some possessing Bankai-level strength.

How could he lose?

With his hands still in his pockets, Koga closed his eyes momentarily before nodding. Muramasa, understanding the signal, pointed at Unohana and gave the order.

"Kill!"

Instantly, all the manifested Zanpakuto spirits charged at Unohana in unison, unleashing their abilities in rapid succession.

"Pierce him! Shinsō!"

"Fall! Sogyo no Kotowari!"

"Resound! Kinshara!"

A cacophony of release commands echoed through the air as spiritual pressures surged and converged, threatening to engulf Unohana entirely.
