Chapter 164: FIGHTING UNOHANA (2)

'How long has it been now?'

Gojo wondered as his arm was sent flying by a cut of a sword before immediately regrowing.

The action had been so mechanical that he didn't even think deeply of it.

As for the question he was asking himself, the answer was something difficult to come by.

Has it been a year? A month? A day? Or only a few minutes?

He didn't know and was sure that he wouldn't be able to focus much longer on that question.

The fight between Unohana and Gojo had been without a doubt one of the most brutal in the history of Soul Society.

It was neither because of the great display of power nor because of the great display of skill.

However, it was something much more primal.

Be it Gojo or Unohana, the two of them were fighters who specialized in healing self-healing to an incredible degree.

What would happen when two such fighters face each other?

The answer was the gruesome sight that would greet anyone witnessing this fight.

Flying limbs, crushed bones, melted skin, and ruptured organs.

The only word that could describe the current scene was Hell.

A hell of mad ashuras locked in a seemingly eternal fight.

Whenever Gojo suffered injuries, he would heal himself and the same went for Unohana.

Thencould they be said to be equal?

The answer was of course not.

Two factors were currently at play.

One was the will to continue fighting, which obviously fell in Unohana's favor. For her, this moment was the best in the world. It was far from hell a paradise she could only dream of on a normal day.

Meanwhile, for Gojo who wasn't a battle junky, this was a truly troublesome situation.

The second factor was the energy reserves, that fell in Gojo's favor. Be it in this world or previous one, the one Gojo always lacked the least was energy.

Thanks to his eyes, his reserves of Reiryoku were nearly limitless. At the same time, since he could absorb Reishi, this would mean he had quite literally an infinite amount of energy in Soul Society.

Meanwhile, no matter how powerful Unohana was, keeping her Bankai active and constantly healing herself was not the kind of feat that could be easily done. Slowly but surely, even if her mental stats could still keep up, her body would fail her and he would win.

Unfortunately, Gojo felt no elation at this fact. Unohana had yet to use her trump card. Once she stopped focusing on the physical and created a battle of willpower, would he be able to win?

'Of courseUnohana isn't the only one who can attack the mind.'

Gojo was still holding a trump card, one that could potentially end this whole fight in an instant.

But would Unohana be satisfied if he used such a way?

This fight wasn't just about winning or losing. What really mattered was how they fought.

'I guess I have no choice.'

A lull fell amid the fight as Unohana reined in the power of her sword.

"What are you preparing?"

She knew about the skill Gojo used in his fight against Ikkaku. A skill that allowed him to completely render Ikkaku helpless.

Unlimited Void.

Would she be able to take it on? She didn't know.

As Unohana was running a simulation in her mind, Gojo's voice entered her ears.

"It's not what you are expecting. Let me show you the results of my research."

Over the long period he spent in Soul Society, Gojo had examined different special physiques.

He studied a part of Hogyuko.

He studied humans, hollows, and shinigami.

He studied a hollow with the power of a shinigami.

He studied the special bones of the members of Division 0.

She knew that Gojo's current state was only temporary but it wasn't as if she could hold on for much longer.

Her reserves of energy had already hit rock bottom and she could only barely heal herself.

At this rate, her loss was absolute.

Of course, all hope wasn't lost.

Eternal Battlefield.

Her trump card was something that was not fettered by a mere difference of power.

In the battlefield of willpower, spiritual and physical power held no meaning. No matter how much more powerful than her he had become, the outcome would be decided purely based on willpower.

In that zone, as long as someone had a weaker willpower than her, then death was the only outcome that awaited them. Even a god would be no exception.

And for all his power, Gojo was no god.

However

'Should I really use it?'

In the end, as her eyes looked at his hand piercing her heart, a smile filled her face and she closed her eyes.

She would not use it.

This was already enough. Gojo had already surpassed all expectations she had.

She could now feel life slowly leaving her. She knew that she didn't have for long anymore.

Her life swiftly flashed in her eyes.

From a lady of a noble house to a criminal on the run, and to now a respected captain of the Gotei 13

Her life over those 2000 years had been filled with many moments, both sad and joyful moments.

She had accomplished everything she ought to. She had no regrets.

When she thought so, the image of Gojo flashed in her mind.

'..Ah.'

Who would have thought that the slightly arrogant young man she had met ten years ago would grow so fast and reach such height?

'Fufufu~It seems like I do have one last regret.'

"Sadly, I will never see you at your peak."

It was her one and only regret.

But she could die happy with the thought that she did play her part in his growth

"Even at deathbed, you are still a battle junkie."

Gojo gazed at his dying mentor with a gentle smile that did not have a trace of madness from before.

"But you knowwho said you could decide your life as you wish."

A sigh unknowingly escaped his mouththis was going to be a long night.
