Unohana Retsu cast a glance at the Fourth Division members who had been waiting on standby.
Realizing her signal, they quickly rushed forward to examine the fallen Kenpachi before reporting, "Captain Kenpachi has not suffered any fatal injuries."
Unohana gestured for them to carry him away.
Meanwhile, Makoto glanced toward Tsunade, who was seated further back among the audience.
With slight reluctance, Tsunade stood up and approached Kenpachi.
Without hesitation, she began treating him on the spot.
As Shinigami were originally spiritual beings, their physical structure differed from that of ordinary humans.
However, ever since all of Soul Society had been transported to this world, their bodies had undergone integration with those of the living.
Kneeling beside him, Tsunade activated her Mystical Palm Jutsu, administering a quick yet effective healing session.
The extent of her medical ninjutsu prowess was legendary.
During the Fourth Ninja World War, her direct disciple, Haruno Sakura, had struggled to heal Shikamaru for an extended period, while Tsunade had been able to restore him with a mere touch.
Kenpachi soon opened his eyes.
As he glanced at the unfamiliar blonde-haired woman and the gathered Fourth Division members, he immediately grasped the situation.
Ignoring the astonished gazes of the Fourth Division, Tsunade silently returned to her seat.
At that moment, Makoto sternly questioned Might Guy in front of everyone:
"I told you this was just an exhibition match! How could you hit so hard? Do you even see the Shinigami as true friends?"
Guy cooperatively bowed and offered his apologies.
Having once served as a bodyguard for a feudal lord, he was no longer some reckless hothead.
"Go apologize to Captain Kenpachi properly."
"No need," Head Captain Yamamoto interrupted, his tone calm.
"Since this is a martial exchange, injuries and clashes are inevitable. It is understandable that one might struggle to hold back in the heat of battle. We believe Guy-san had no ill intentions."
Hearing this, Makoto glanced at Guy again and said, "Well? Aren't you going to thank the Head Captain for his understanding?"
"Thank you, Head Captain!"
Ever since the fight ended, Guy had been acting extremely compliant.
However, despite the seemingly peaceful atmosphere, many could sense the underlying tension.
The upcoming battles were bound to be even more intense.
Guy and Kenpachi returned to their respective seats.
Kenpachi showed no sign of frustration or resentment from his defeat.
Instead, he remained surprisingly calm, his gaze toward Guy devoid of hostility.
As for Guy, he had already dismissed Kenpachi from his thoughts.
At that moment, Makoto suddenly spoke from the head seat:
"The ninjas here are my personal guards. They are different from ordinary ninja—they possess a unique ability known as Sage Marks. When activated, they can enter Sage Mode."
The Shinigami were momentarily stunned upon hearing this, and even the people watching the live broadcast in the present world were equally shocked.
Sage Mode?
"Similar to the release of a Shinigami's Zanpakuto, once this mode is activated, one's strength will increase dramatically. Both Hakumen and Guy have already demonstrated this power," Makoto explained.
The emperor was voluntarily revealing the abilities of the Ten Crown Guards.
Doing so would only lower their chances of winning in the upcoming battles.
Could it be that this emperor of the present world was truly confident in his victory?
Or did he simply not care about the outcome of this exchange event?
Sage Mode...
The name alone carried an imposing presence, and the power that Might Guy had just displayed was indeed terrifying.
Many present were not confident they could defeat Kenpachi so easily.
Which meant… the next battles would be—
Suddenly, Tsunade rose from her seat and stepped into the space between the two rows of participants.
She did not bow to the emperor but instead looked directly at the captain's seat.
"I am Tsunade. Please grant me the honor of a match."
A woman—a young woman, with an exceptional figure and beauty!
Kyoraku felt a pang of regret—he shouldn't have taken the stage so early.
Tsunade's thoughts were simple.
She had no idea how strong these people were or who among them was the strongest or weakest.
She just wanted to finish her match as soon as possible and be done with it.
The captains' seat fell into a brief silence.
If the Crown Guards representative at this moment had been a man, there would have been no hesitation.
Seeing this, Aizen prepared to stand.
He considered that his timing didn't matter; whether he fought now or later was irrelevant.
In fact, if he waited too long, potential injuries and shifting circumstances might make things inconvenient.
However, to his surprise, someone else moved before he could.
"Captain of the Fourth Division, Retsu Unohana. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
A dignified and gentle-looking woman stepped forward.
Her long black hair was braided into two plaits resting over her chest, and her loose-fitting robes concealed her figure.
She exuded an aura of kindness and warmth—an elegant, mature woman who, at first glance, inspired immediate goodwill.
At this moment, Makoto's gaze flickered with intrigue as he studied her.
He knew exactly how terrifying this woman was, despite her delicate and harmless appearance.
Her true name: Yachiru Unohana.
A thousand years ago, she was a notorious villain—the first Kenpachi.
Among the Gotei 13 captains, her strength ranked among the highest.
And yet, such a formidable individual was now the head of the Seireitei's medical and support division, the Fourth Division.
Unohana's thoughts mirrored Tsunade's—she had no real desire to participate in this exchange event.
However, the Twelfth Division Captain, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, had provided a more compelling reason to avoid battle, securing a valid excuse under the guise of necessity.
Ending the battle quickly was fine.
If the opponent turned out to be too strong, Unohana could simply surrender—no one would hold it against the Fourth Division Captain.
Besides, Tsunade's method of healing Kenpachi had piqued her interest.
But if Tsunade was allowed to participate in this exchange event, it was obvious she wasn't just a medic.
Makoto chuckled. "Don't forget the purpose of this match—stop before causing serious harm."
He understood that the outcome of this battle would depend entirely on Unohana's will.
At her current level, Tsunade was probably not her match.
Stop before causing serious harm…
Tsunade frowned slightly in her heart.
Controlling her strength was never easy for her.
At worst… she'd just beat Unohana half to death and heal her afterward.
At the same time, in present-day Konoha.
"It's Lady Tsunade! It's her match!" Shizune suddenly got excited, pointing at the TV screen and shouting.
"Shizune, isn't this the Tsunade from another world?" Rin asked from beside her.
"Yeah, my master isn't participating."
"Lady Tsunade will definitely win, right?"
"Of course!"
Tsunade's popularity in the real world was undeniably high.
Most people weren't even aware that there were two Tsunades.
When she had healed Kenpachi earlier, the viewers watching the live broadcast had already been thrilled.
Seireitei-Real World Exchange Tournament, Central Arena.
Unohana slowly drew her sword, smiling gently. "Miss Tsunade, I am also a medical practitioner. Our fight might be rather dull."
Her words slightly surprised Tsunade.
She pondered for a moment before responding, "In that case, even better. It means I'll have fewer concerns while fighting."
Unohana's half-closed eyes twinkled with amusement.
This Tsunade… she's quite aggressive.
Are all people from the living world this bold?
