In the U.A. Building, located inside the teachers' medical office, there was a woman with long braided hair.
She was wearing a white long coat over a black kimono. She was the one Maki had seen earlier before the exam started—the one he had called out for reeking of blood.
She had a slender, youthful appearance with blue eyes. Her hair was long and jet-black. Most notably, she wore her hair in a large braid that hung down the front of her chest rather than her back.
She was Retsu Unohana.

She was baffled. Naturally, when new people looked at her, they only saw grace, calmness, and motherly kindness.
But not this time.
For the first time, she had heard someone call her for what she truly was.
Unohana's eyes were closed, but she was thinking—how did he notice it? It was a secret she had buried, something no one should have known about. She had lived for over a thousand years due to her unique race. A Shinigami, because of its unique trait called Spiritual Composition—her body was composed of Reishi (spirit particles) rather than biological matter. This allowed her to live for over a thousand years.
And the lower the percentage of Shinigami blood running in one's veins, the shorter their lifespan would be.
Her history was far greater than simply being an advanced healer and medical mentor.
And that boy who had seen through her cover by scent alone—that was something she had not anticipated.
Unohana knew something was different about the boy. When their gazes met, she saw authorities inhabiting his body, and she could not believe it. The spiritual pressure he was unleashing was one only an Arrancar could possess.
It was one thing to have two authorities.
But for a male to be an Arrancar—that would be truly impossible.
Not even a single case had happened in her long life, yet today she had witnessed it with her own eyes.
It was real.
She had faced other races during the vicious and ruthless era of her youth. She had once been a cold-blooded killer who sought battles purely for the thrill of the clash. But time consumes even the most obsessive nature.
And because the unknown is always more interesting, she did not waste time.
She called for her adopted daughter, Isane Kotetsu.
Isane had long silver hair with two thin braids styled on the right side of her face. She had gray eyes and wore thin, dangling red earrings on each ear. She wore the standard Shinigami attire—a black kimono—and stood at 187 cm (6'1.5"). ( ・３・)👉🏻
Isane was generally shy and soft-spoken. She was observant and diligent in her duties as a healer.
Her devotion to Unohana was absolute. She was often seen by her mother's side and even carried Unohana's Zanpakutō for her—a rare sign of trust between them. Despite her tall and capable appearance, she was delicate and prone to frequent nightmares.
Isane was one of the few people who shared a truly close and intimate bond with Unohana. She was aware of the scar on Unohana's chest—usually hidden by her braid—because she had seen Unohana with her hair undone.
Isane Kotetsu was primarily a medical apprentice and support specialist. She was an expert in Reiatsu Restoration. She could use her energy to replenish the depleted spiritual power of others. Her medical expertise was exceptional.

Unohana had asked Isane to bring the information U.A. had on the participants partaking in the exam.
After waiting for a while, Isane returned holding a folder.
She knocked on Unohana's office door.
"Come in," Unohana said.
Isane opened the door and handed over the folder while explaining, "This is the only available information they have. At first, I thought it was a fluke when I read his file and questioned why he was allowed to be an examinee. But he was permitted because Nemuri Kayama—Midnight-sensei—is his guardian."
She hesitated before asking softly, "But why do you need this, Mother?"
Unohana was a mother-figure to Isane. After all, she had adopted her. Unohana had found Isane when she was lost and didn't know what to do. Since then, Isane had become the person she cared for most in her current life.
Unohana did not truly want to be called "Mother," but she had grown accustomed to it.
Unohana opened the folder. "I have something to check," she said calmly.
Isane did not question further. She stood beside Unohana quietly, reading the information as well. It barely contained anything—just Maki's name, where he lived, and who his guardian was.
Unohana raised her head. "There is no past record about him?"
Isane tilted her head slightly. "There's nothing. Maybe we should ask Midnight-sensei."
Unohana closed the folder.
She smiled.
"No need, Isane. I'll take my time unraveling this mystery myself."
Isane looked at her mother and gulped at that smile.
"Mother… don't tell me you're into him or something."
"H-he's more younger —than y-you… I-is he going to be my stepfather soon?"
Just thinking about it gave Isane goosebumps—a young father?
Unohana raised an eyebrow and smiled genuinely.
"Well, as long as he can satisfy me and my—"
She did not continue.
But to Isane, hearing her mother speak like that felt like the world was crumbling to pieces. Her mother, who had rejected rich and powerful men who proposed to her, was now interested in some youngster?
Then what did she mean by "satisfy you—"?
Many questions and inappropriate scenarios ran through Isane's mind.
After steadying herself and regaining her composure, she looked at her mother and said, "Well… I wouldn't mind having a stepfather. But I need to see if he is worthy of you."
She said those words while clutching the Zanpakutō at her waist.
Unohana simply smiled.
It seemed she had misunderstood things.
But who cares.

( ・３・)Anime Trivia
Unohana interest in relationship would be The Kenpachi's Love: Violent and Raw
The "One True Mate": To Unohana, the highest form of intimacy is a fight to the death.
She was looking for "the only man in the world who could satisfy me."
Obsession: If she truly loved someone in a romantic or peer sense, she would likely want them to be her equal in strength. She wouldn't want to protect a "weak" lover; she would want a lover who could survive her blade.
If she was interested: she would be a "black widow" type. She would be charming and serene on the surface, but there would be an underlying intensity that suggests she would never let that person go.
For Unohana, love isn't about flowers and poetry; it's about total devotion. To the world, she is the gentle healer who loves all life; but to the person who truly wins her heart, she is a storm of intensity who sees love as a bond written in blood and loyalty.
The Mother and daughter storyline of this story is from this idea.
Unohana's assistant is Isane Kotetsu, the Lieutenant of the 4th Division. She is deeply loyal to Unohana, viewing her as a mentor and mother figure.
In anime Isane has short, messy silver hair with two thin braids styled on the right side of her face. but here I made her hair long and wavy !!(゜ロ゜ノ)ノ
RACE SHINIGAMI
the idea of this shit came from the original details of how Shinigami have long life.
In the Bleach universe, the longevity of a Shinigami is tied to the fundamental laws of the afterlife and their own internal power. While a human might live 80 to 100 years, a Shinigami like Unohana can live for over 1,000 years while still appearing to be in her prime
And the idea of the percent of Shinigami that I put her was all based by the thing called Reishi and Reiryoku of bleach anime.
Composition of Reishi (Spirit Particles)
Unlike humans made of biological cells and atoms, Shinigami are made entirely of Reishi.
Slow Aging: Reishi-based bodies age at a significantly slower rate than Kishi (material) bodies.
The Environment: The Soul Society is a world composed entirely of Reishi. This environment naturally sustains spiritual beings, slowing the "decay" that we associate with aging
Reiryoku (Spiritual Power)
A Shinigami's lifespan is directly linked to their Reiryoku levels.
The "Engine" Effect: Spiritual power acts like a fuel that maintains the integrity of their Reishi body. The stronger a Shinigami's spiritual pressure (Reiatsu), the slower they age.
Peak Performance: This is why Captains like Unohana or Yamamoto can live for millennia. They possess such massive amounts of energy that their bodies remain in peak physical condition for centuries.
Well there are still many loopholes but I'm trying to minimize those gaps and tries to make a sense out of it —that's still connected to the original.
