A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

"I'm sorry, Captain... Although I know it's embarrassing to be defeated, I still came back alive..."

Madarame admitted his mistake with some hesitation.

"Stop rambling, who cares if you are defeated or not!"

Zaragi Kenpachi continued to ask angrily, "Quick, answer me quickly! Is the guy you mentioned really that powerful?"

"emmmm..."

This seems to be more uncomfortable than being reprimanded... Madaramu covered her face with one corner, and thought for a while, "What I said to Captain Nie just now was indeed a bit exaggerated, but... that kid is indeed very powerful, of course... I It’s not referring to his strength, but his weird growth rate.”

Madarame carefully recalled that when he was fighting with Kurosaki Ichigo, that kid was obviously a rookie at first, but he quickly adapted to his attack rhythm and started to fight back. This terrifying growth The speed is almost like a pervert, no... maybe he has that kind of power in himself but he just can't use it?
Madarame is not sure, but the only thing he can tell his captain is...

"That's a boy with orange hair and a Zanpakuto that is as tall as he is. The place he is going to is the Fourth Prison of the Repentance Palace. He will definitely experience many battles on the way there...maybe wait for the captain When you saw him...he was really strong enough to satisfy you."

"really?"

Zaragi Kenpachi grinned, his excitement was palpable, "What's his name?"

······
"My name is Hanataro Yamada."

At this moment, the young man in front of Kurosaki Ichigo respectfully reported his name.

"what?"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the young Shinigami in front of him with some doubts.

Who wants to know your name?

He looked at the many gods of death who were chasing him down at his feet. Although he had shown mercy, these guys might not be able to get up if they didn't lie down for ten days and a half months.

And the young Reaper in front of him seemed to have been shrinking back since the beginning of the battle. After seeing him deal with the other Reapers, he knelt down on the ground and introduced himself without saying a word.

So what is the situation?
"Um... you are Mr. Kurosaki Ichigo, right?"

Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo's puzzled look, Yamada Hanataro hurriedly asked.

"Yeah, how do you know?"

Kurosaki Ichigo frowned, the Zanpakuto in his hand was still pointing at him.

"It really is you... Orange hair, fierce eyes, and a Zanpakuto that is as tall as you are. Miss Rukia is right, your appearance is really recognizable."

"#?"

The veins on Kurosaki Ichigo's forehead popped out, and he always felt that this kid was insulting him.

"Uh...hehe, I have no other meaning..." As if noticing Kurosaki Ichigo's expression, Yamada Hanataro scratched his head in embarrassment, "Please rest assured, I am not with these guys... They are members of the [-]th Division who are in charge of fighting, and I am just a medical member of the [-]th Division who has no fighting ability. And... I am actually here to help you."

"help me?"

Kurosaki Ichigo was even more puzzled.

"Yes, I ask you to save Miss Lucia."

Yamada Hanatarou put his head on the ground and said sincerely.

"Of course I will save Rukia, but you...you said you want to help me? How can I believe it?"

Kurosaki Ichigo curled his lips, "I am an intruder, you are the god of death guarding this place, we are enemies!"

"But... before I became your enemy, I was Miss Rukia's friend."

When Hanataro Yamada mentioned Rukia, his face looked a little sad.

"So you know Rukia very well?"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the expression on the face of Yamada Hanataro in front of him, and couldn't help but relax a little.

"No... Actually, I'm not very familiar with her, but she may be the only person in the entire Seireitei who looks at me directly. It's hard to imagine that such a gentle person is from the famous Kuchiki family."

The expression on Yamada Hanataro's face became very soft, as if he was lost in memory.

"Miss Lucia was imprisoned in the No. [-] cell before she was taken to the fourth deep cell of the Confession Palace, and I was ordered to disturb there... To be honest, I was very scared at the beginning, After all, she is a nobleman. Even if she is imprisoned in a prison, she is not someone like me who can treat her as an equal... As you can see, a person like me is useless except to answer some questions, even as a medical team member. The standards are not considered qualified, let alone fighting people with knives like those guys..."

"It's not something to be ashamed of, is it?"

Before Hanataro Yamada finished speaking, Kurosaki Ichigo frowned and interrupted, "You look down on the medical staff, don't you? My family runs a medical clinic! Please apologize to all the medical staff! If you are not here The family members behind are there, so what about these guys who fell on the ground?"

As he spoke, he angrily kicked the god of death who had fallen to the ground, with a displeased expression on his face.

"Hehe...Miss Rukia is really right, you are really a kind person." Yamada Hanataro smiled, "Do you know? When I first met Miss Rukia and called her in honorifics , and was scolded by her, what she said was very similar to yours."

"Like me?"

"Well, yes, you are all kind and gentle people..."

Yamada Hanataro raised his head, "From that day on, I went to clean the prison every day, and Miss Lucia was very friendly to me every time... Maybe it was to pass the boring time? She always chatted with me Regarding the affairs of this world, most of them are related to you, Kurosaki-san... I can see the sadness and self-blame in her eyes, and the firm belief that comes from nowhere..."

"What belief?"

Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned and asked.

"That's probably..."

Saying that, Hanataro Yamada looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with some envy, "'Believe'? Even in such a predicament that she must die, she still believed that someone would come to save her, and you did come. She I can trust my companion so much, and I can entrust my life to you to protect without hesitation... And you, knowing what you will face when you come to save her, still come here... Such a person, no matter it is Miss Rukia, or you... you don't look like the most sinful people, do you?"

"Well... you're right, we're not bad people." Kurosaki Ichigo pouted, "In the end, it's all due to the inexplicable rules of your soul world, isn't it just a loss of power? Big things don’t have to be that serious.”

"what?"

Yamada Hanataro was a little puzzled, "I don't know exactly why Miss Lucia was sentenced to such a severe sentence, but there must be something wrong, so I really came to help you! Go to the confession palace [-] I know how to take the road to the prison, and I should be able to avoid these pursuers and avoid many unnecessary battles."

"..."

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the god of death in front of him in silence for a while, and then looked at Hanataro Yamada for some reason, his eyes became a little pitiful. How inferior is this child?It's too easy to deceive... Rukia is nothing more than chatting with him...

"Forget it... lead the way..."

In the end, Kurosaki Ichigo chose to believe with some helplessness, "It doesn't matter if you lied to me anyway, I will rescue Rukia, no matter who is in front of me."

······
Just when Kurosaki Ichigo followed Yamada Hanataro from the sewer to bypass the hunted gods of death and went to the Fourth Deep Prison of the Repentance Palace, the Gotei Thirteenth Team was very busy.

"A corner of Madarame, the third member of the [-]th division...and Yumi Ayasegawa, the fifth member of the team...the above two members hesitated to withdraw from the battle line due to serious injuries and coma."

"The detailed loss reports of each team are still under further investigation..."

"Also about the [-]th team... The information I received was that all the members sent were almost wiped out..."

In the vice-captain's standby room, everyone frowned when they heard the battle report from the front line.

"Squad [-]...won't it?" Deputy captain of Squad [-] Kira Izuru felt a little ashamed when he heard such a report, "The invasion was only a few hours old, and it is the best fighting unit in the [-]th Squad of Gotei. Ah! It was solved like this? How many people came from the enemy? So powerful?"

"Uh... well... There are currently three people who have been confirmed in the accident... From the information obtained, one of them seems to have taken a member of the fourth team as a hostage. I think he will probably get it from this member. Let's ask for some information? It's just that we don't know what the purpose of these trips to Seireitei is..."

"..."

Hearing this, Asai Renji remained silent.

Sure enough, except for the captain, most of the team members were kept in the dark. Most of them only knew that there was a brigade invasion, but they didn't know anything about the purpose of these guys.

No one knows that these guys are here to save Rukia... In other words, have people deliberately concealed what happened to Rukia in this world?
Thinking of this, Asai Renji became more determined to save Rukia.

There's definitely something weird about this.

So while everyone was discussing, he took off the adjutant's epaulettes and quietly moved towards the door, ready to start action.

But what should we do?

After leaving the waiting room, Asai Renji was in trouble.

He wanted to take Rukia, but it was obvious that his own strength was not enough.

Do we really have to pin our hopes on those travel disasters?
Just thinking of that kid named Kurosaki Ichigo made him feel that this matter was unreliable.

After all, that kid couldn't even beat himself not long ago.

······
"Are you kidding me? Three people made such a mess in Seireitei!? Will those guys from the [-]th squad know how to play?"

Kira Izuru complained.

"No...Actually, it's not just the [-]th team...The fourth seat of our team also lost contact not long ago."

The vice-captain of the [-]th squad, Tetsuzaemon Kakuba interjected a little awkwardly, "I'm afraid it's too bad... Please send someone to investigate around the [-]th district and see if they can find clues to the accident."

"Four seats... isn't that Ciloufang?"

Rangiku Matsumoto frowned and asked, "He is known as 'Kama Itachi', and he is said to be the strongest user of flying weapons in the soul world... well~ In fact, he is the only one who knows how to use that kind of fancy weapon, but his It shouldn't be that weak, right? After all, he is the younger brother of the 'White Dao Guardian' Sidanfang."

"No... Sidanfang was defeated by these brigades not long ago... It seems that Captain Ichimaru took care of this matter at that time." Vice Captain Hisagi Shuhei of the [-]th Division shook his head slightly.

"Oh... sorry, I was looking for my captain at that time, and I didn't have time to care about that guy Ichimaru..."

Sending this chaotic chrysanthemum to Tan Tanshou expressed his helplessness.

"What's going on? What kind of guys broke in?"

Everyone was discussing with some headaches.

And Chisentao, who was hiding in the corner, trembled while listening to the discussions of the other vice-captains.

She just felt that things seemed to be getting more and more terrifying.

"It's really scary... The situation seems to be getting more and more serious, don't you think so? A Sanjing..."

Subconsciously, she wanted to ask Renji Asai, who had a fairly good relationship with her.

But suddenly found that A Sanjing, who was standing here silently, had disappeared at some point.

The vice-captains present here may not have a good relationship with him, or they may be troubled by the affairs in front of them, so they didn't notice that there is one less person here.

······
"What did you say? A Sanjing is gone?"

After the meeting, Hinamori held the adjutant epaulets of Asai Renji in her hand and asked for help from Vice Captain Kira, who had a good relationship with Asai on weekdays.

"Just keep this... when I find out he's gone and just keep this..."

"This is... the adjutant's shoulder badge..."

Cold sweat broke out on Kira Izuru's forehead, "This is not good, if you leave your post at such a time...you didn't tell other people about it!?"

"no!"

Chisentao shook her head crazily, "I originally wanted to tell Captain Aizen, but I thought that A Sanjing would probably be punished if I found out, so..."

"Well, you're doing it right."

Kira Yizuru breathed a sigh of relief, and lightly patted Chisentao on the shoulder, "Don't spread the word about this beforehand. Since you still don't know the reason for A Sanjing's disappearance, let's wait and see what happens..."

"Yeah...but this kind of thing...where would he go? He took off his adjutant badge and left without authorization at this time..."

"Indeed, although I don't know what he wants to do, but he has even taken off his epaulets, so he must be ready to be punished... The purpose must be extraordinary." Kira Yizuru thought with cold sweat on his forehead, "I I heard that he is very worried about Kuchiki recently... After all, why was Kuchiki sentenced to death? I only know that this is the sentence of Central Room 46. The specific situation... Tsk... I hope there will be no trouble... ...Let’s do this! I’ll look around first, try to find him as quickly as possible, and don’t let the captains find out.”

"Hmm... Kira, I'm sorry to trouble you..." Chisentao looked at the sky worriedly.

A Sanjing, where have you been?

Also... Captain Aizen seems to be acting weird recently.

She always had the feeling that something bad was going to happen.
