Shinigami: Medicine Can't Save The Soul Reaper Society

!!!

Senju Makoto.

Even though Makoto's mental state had long been tempered to an extraordinary level by the constant probing and provocations from Aizen and Unohana, the unexpected mention of acupuncture from Unohana still made his eye twitch involuntarily.

"Actually, it's all thanks to Unohana-sensei's excellent guidance," Makoto replied modestly.

"Oh? But I don't recall ever teaching you anything about acupuncture," Unohana said with a teasing smile. "Is your acupuncture skill truly up to par? Or… are you simply trying to use this opportunity to study others' spiritual bodies?"

"You jest, sensei. Without your meticulous instruction on medical techniques and spiritual anatomy, I wouldn't have been able to teach myself acupuncture," Makoto responded, taking a calm sip of tea. "Besides, everything I do is for the benefit of patients. Acupuncture can aid treatment by providing immediate adjustments to spiritual structures."

Unohana nodded with interest. "Since that's the case, I believe it's time I assess your acupuncture skills today."

A surge of excitement bubbled up inside Makoto.

Acupuncture? That means there will inevitably be physical contact! Moreover, acupuncture points aren't limited to the back; they also include the chest, abdomen, head, and other sensitive areas.

More importantly, he had never had the chance to heal Unohana with the Seed of the Forest before.

Was this the perfect opportunity to plant the seed?

"Well… I'll leave myself in your capable hands, sensei," Makoto said, trying to suppress the excitement that made his voice tremble slightly.

"Very well, come with me," Unohana said as she led him to the medical research room on one side of the courtyard.

The room was filled with medical books Unohana had collected or written, along with various essential medical instruments. At the center of the room was a specialized medical bed.

Makoto couldn't help but cast a hopeful glance at Unohana.

Go ahead, lie down, sensei. I'll give it my all and make sure you're satisfied!

However, Unohana calmly put on a pair of disposable medical gloves and looked at Makoto in slight confusion. "What are you waiting for? Lie down."

"Huh???" Makoto froze on the spot, his excited mind grinding to a halt.

Unohana, now wearing a mischievous smile, added pointedly, "Did you think I would lie down and let you perform acupuncture on me? That won't do. If your technique isn't proficient enough, it could lead to unexpected outcomes."

Makoto finally understood what it meant to experience an emotional rollercoaster.

Seeing Unohana's teasing yet pleased expression, he realized he had no choice but to comply.

With a somewhat forced smile, he reluctantly lay down on the medical bed.

Without hesitation, Unohana deftly lifted his shirt, picked up a needle, and inserted it into his back. "Position, function…"

What followed was a relentless series of soul-piercing questions from Unohana. With each needle inserted into a different location, she demanded that Makoto state its corresponding position and function.

By the end, Makoto nearly felt like a curled-up porcupine. Finally, after Unohana completed the impromptu examination, she acknowledged his theoretical proficiency.

As the needles were being removed, Makoto casually suggested, "Sensei, shouldn't you assess my practical skills as well? That way, you can correct any mistakes immediately."

"Oh? Are you suggesting using me as your subject?" Unohana asked.

"Would that be alright?" Makoto was clearly unwilling to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, practically ready to pounce at the chance to practice on her.

However, Unohana gently flicked his forehead and smiled as she declined. "No, that won't be necessary."

"Huh?"

Makoto's tone was filled with genuine disappointment, as though lamenting a missed opportunity for learning.

Unohana, interpreting his reaction as an attempt to seek revenge for being turned into a human pincushion, ignored his plea entirely. Instead, she said, "I've heard many stories about how you've used acupuncture to treat patients in the association. Some patients, who didn't even need acupuncture, were given it nonetheless…"

Pausing briefly, Unohana smiled knowingly. "That's why I was concerned about whether your understanding of acupuncture might be flawed. Now that I know your theoretical foundation is solid, I'm relieved."

"As for practical application, there's no need for further testing. The fact that you've treated so many patients without a single medical accident proves your competence."

Makoto wasn't sure whether to feel touched by her genuine concern or defeated by her impregnable demeanor.

"Th-thank you, sensei…"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Unohana added, "By the way, you made a very constructive suggestion. The name and structure of the 'Capture-Makoto Association' indeed have room for improvement."

Hearing this, Makoto's heart swelled with faint joy.

For him, the disbandment of the threatening

Capture-Makoto Association would undoubtedly be good news.

However, after a brief contemplation, Unohana smiled and said, "Still, the association's development has been somewhat restricted. It may be necessary to rename and restructure it to accommodate more members."

…

Makoto.

Clearly, Unohana wasn't about to let him off the hook. She continued, "Makoto, since your management skills are quite remarkable, do you have any suggestions?"

A thought flashed through Makoto's mind, and he replied with a grin, "How about 'Unohana Association'?"

Unohana chuckled softly. "With that name, I doubt anyone would join."

"Why not? Sensei, I'll be the first to sign up!" Makoto said eagerly.

Unohana gave him a sideways glance, realizing this was Makoto's playful retaliation or perhaps a hidden implication—both sharing an unspoken, mutual understanding.

"How about this: 'Female Shinigami Association'?" Unohana suggested with a teasing smile.
