Sora: "You are wrong... i only used sidestepping along with Shunpo and my Reiatsu and got this result...."Sora: "You"re focusing too much into killing your opponents.... that made you forget one thing..."
Unohana: "What....??"
Sora: "A sword is not a tool to see blood but a partner that enables us to reach further ahead..."
Sora: "Based on our actions and what we feel they respond....."
Before he could finish he heard Unahana talking to him and interrupting him....
Unohana: "Isn"t that our Zanpakuto Soul....."
Sora: "Turns out you don"t understand.... Give me one of your daggers...."
Unahana wanted to find out what he meant, therefore, she gave him one of her Hidden daggers she had in her sleeves..... Sora caught it and started waving it around.. so that he can feel it better on his hand.... after a few minutes, he turned towards Unohana who had healed and fixed her clothes....
Sora: "This dagger is made of pure metal... therefore it doesn"t have any soul....."
Unohana: "Correct it"s simply made for sneak attacks....."
Sora then placed it in front of him the dagger as if holding a sword and closed his eyes... inside his mind, there was nothing but dark walls, then he thought "cut them up" as he drew the dagger over his head and then slashed downwards...
What happened next stunned Unohana, the dagger started to slightly vibrate and when he slashed towards the ground a soundless gap.. appeared in the ground...
Unohana was shocked.... he didn"t use anything at all, not speed, not power and definitely not his Reiatsu... he just slashed like that and a cutting mark appeared in the ground...
He then opened his eyes and looked at a stunned Unohana who couldn"t believe what see-saw.... Sora then started speaking to her and this time she paid attention....
Sora: "Zanpakuto are Souls formed when we are born growing stronger and stronger with us granting us powers..... at most cases, they take form on what we want the most.... for example in Hisagi"s case he"s afraid of swords, therefore, his Shikai looks like that to help him get over it..."
Sora: "But he"s afraid to use it, he still is trying to figure a way to accept it or grow stronger with it.... a Zanpakuto was part of us, but now you can say that they are friends or partners"
Unohana: "I"m still confused.... how is that related to what you did...??"
Sora: "I showed my intent to cut the ground into the Dagger, and it in return cut it...."
Sora: "When you wish to fight you show intent.. when you wish to kill you show intent.... but what about when you want to protect.... when you want to cut something???"
Unohana: "We simply raise the sword and parry and just slash at them..."
Sora: "Correct ever since all of you awakened the Zanpakutos.... you stopped training that intent and regressed...."
Unohana: "Then how did we do that??"
Sora: "Original you were on the right path.... but after awakened your Zanpakuto you relied more on its power than your own...."
Sora: "Intent is what you wish to do... The most living example is Zaraki he didn"t want to lose a powerful opponent therefore what did he do?? What was his intent???"
Unohana: "He sealed himself???"
Sora: "Correct!!! that made him be unable to use his Zanpakuto... Unable to hear it"s voice... Therefore his intent to slash at everything became stronger... And only with his sword, he could cut anything... Not only that, he constantly sought powerful enemies to bring his closer to his death... Slowly undoing the seal he placed... That was his intent bring yourself to the level of your opponent if he"s stronger then surpa.s.s him...."
