Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 227 Chapter 226: Tomorrow

The so-called "being cautious when attacking a rat" may refer to this situation.

The captain of the 5th squad being held hostage made all the soldiers feel their scalps tingling.

After all, it's one thing if it's just a team soldier, but if it involves a captain-level figure, then this group of people won't be able to act on their own.

But then again…

Hey!!! He is a captain after all, how could he be captured so easily?

The mental pressure on Shiba Ganju's side was also exaggerated.

After all, I just picked the one that looked the weakest. Who knew I would catch a tough one? !
And what's wrong with this guy.

Are they too weak? Huh? Are these the thirteen people that Miss Yoruichi mentioned, who can stand at the top of Soul Society?
Am I crazy, or is this world just not normal?
"Don't just stand there, Ganjiu!"

Only Ichigo Kurosaki's reaction was relatively normal. He grabbed Ganju's arm and retreated.

But it may be because the relationship is too tense.

Yan Jiu trembled and loosened his hands...

Seeing that Arima Shizuka suddenly broke free from control, everyone present was confused for a moment.

Fortunately, Ichigo Kurosaki reacted quickly at this time. He rushed forward and grabbed the opponent's neck with his backhand.

Then slowly retreat until you get close to the side wall.

"What should I do..."

Shiba Ganju wiped the sweat off his forehead. It was obvious that this guy's mental stress was exaggerated to the point of exploding.

At this moment, it even makes people feel top-heavy.

"If we just retreat like this, we won't be able to break through the encirclement... On the contrary, the number of people will increase."

Ichigo Kurosaki clenched his teeth.

"Then think of a solution!"

"Don't rush me, I'm thinking about it too!"

"Um...would you consider going down the sewer?"

Where's the noise coming from?

The two of them came to their senses and looked over together, just in time to see the hostage Arima Shizuka half-turning her head and smiling at them.

"The sewer system in Seireitei is very complicated. Except for the soldiers of the Fourth Division, no one else knows its structure."

"..."X2
They were also forced to flee under the orders of their captors.

Who arrested whom? It's hard to say now!

Although they were still a little nervous, they made up their minds as they saw more and more people gathering around them.

Even if the horse is dead, we have to give it a try.

"Kurosaki!"

"Oh!"

Ichigo raised his hands to cover his mouth and nose, and at the same time lifted up Arima Shizuya's collar and covered his face with it.

It was a kind of concern, which surprised the person involved a little.

Before anyone could speak, tear gas was thrown, and pink smoke expanded in an instant.

The members of the 11th Division, who had no time to prepare, were hit head-on and fell down crying.

Ichigo Kurosaki and his companions fell into the sewer. In a panic, they wanted to choose a specific direction to escape first...

Arima Shizuya suddenly spoke.

"You want to go to the tower where the serious criminals are imprisoned?"

"In that case, the direction is exactly the opposite..."

"We should go this way."

Kurosaki and Ichigo looked at each other for a moment. Although they both felt strange and annoyed, there seemed to be no other way at the moment.

After all, if the other party wanted to harm the two of them, he would not have told us to retreat through the sewer.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!"

In the end, Shiba Ganju couldn't keep his cool.

He started shouting angrily while hurrying on his way.

"You're the captain, but you're so easy to deal with... Hey! You can't have relied on some weird tricks to get to the top!"

Although it sounds rude, considering the current situation of the Shiba family, such an attitude is not surprising.

After all, the events related to Shiba Kaiyan are like unsolved cases for the people in the "old home".

How can you speak nicely to others when you are born with tinted glasses?
But Arima Jing didn't seem to care at all.

"Hehe, due to some special events, I lost most of my strength... ahem, I am indeed very weak now."

"Then why did you lose your power?"

Kurosaki Ichigo's voice came from the side.

At the same time, the arm holding the neck loosened.

"Ah! Kurosaki what are you doing!?"

"Forget it... This guy looked very relaxed from the beginning, and obviously didn't take us seriously."

Because he doesn't have any special feelings about the differences in these positions, Strawberry Brother's emotions are quite stable.

"Now the question is, why did you specifically follow us?"

Surprisingly stable mood.

Arima Shizuka couldn't help but praise.

"You're very calm, Kurosaki Ichigo."

"…Why do you know my name?"

"It's just hearsay. After all, a travel disaster like this is rare in many years."

The reason alone was quite sufficient, but Ichigo Kurosaki didn't seem to be able to accept it.

He just looked at Arima Shizuya's profile, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

After hesitating back and forth for a long time, he finally spoke softly.

"that……"

"Just call me Captain Weima."

"Arima, Captain...Have we met before somewhere?"

I don’t know how to describe it.

But I always felt that just after seeing it clearly, Ichigo Kurosaki could feel a strong sense of familiarity from the other person.

It was as if I had known each other a long, long time ago.

Ashamed to say it.

At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo even had a feeling of being 'familiar', as if the person standing in front of him was not a captain of Soul Society, but a family member who had lost contact for a long time.

——Why am I thinking about such messy things?

He shook his head gently and put these things behind him for the time being.

But before he could say anything, Arima Jing, who was traveling with him, had already spoken softly.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, are you sure?"

"…What do you mean?"

"Save Rukia and escape from the Soul Society. Return to the real world and continue the peaceful life you like."

The precise and accurate speech pierced the few remaining lines of defense.

Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes dimmed a little in an instant.

I couldn't say the confident words, after all, the gap in strength was visible to the naked eye.

Even though his strength has greatly increased now, the powerful figure of Byakuya Kuchiki still remains in Ichigo Kurosaki's heart.

Being afraid before a battle is certainly not the best strategy, but having a clear understanding of oneself is also one of the necessary conditions for being a smart person.

Needless to say.

Just by looking at Ichigo Kurosaki's expression, Arima Shizuka already knew the answer.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Arima Shizuka didn't say much at this moment, but just reached out and gently patted Ichigo's shoulder.

"It is normal for people to be afraid, to fear pain, and to respect life. This is also the way normal people think."

“So there’s no need to feel ashamed or like you’re inadequate.”

"After all, everyone is the same."

A reassuring tone.

It seemed as if just hearing these words cheered up Ichigo Kurosaki's heart a little, and even his expression became a little melancholy.

For no apparent reason, the boy felt the urge to 'confide'.

It was like after going through so much hardship, I finally got to see my unreliable father.

I want to tell the other person about the hardships I have experienced along the way, complain for a while, and feel melancholy for a while.

Then, with the encouragement of the other party, I adjusted my mentality.

Then, meet the upcoming dangers and challenges with the best mental state.

only……

Why do I feel this kind of emotion towards Captain Arima?

A confused expression appeared on his face, but it became tangled in an instant. Reason suppressed his instinct, causing Kurosaki Ichigo to turn his head away and stop talking.

There was a slightly awkward silence.

But the smile on Arima Shizuka's face did not diminish at all. After all, he saw all of Ichigo's performance just now.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, I know it's hard for you to trust me, but no matter what, please believe me..." "Courage is your sharpest weapon, and it will be the source of your victory over the enemy."

“Don’t be afraid of anything. The power you have is your confidence.”

That's it.

Arima Shizuya's figure suddenly became blurred.

In the moment when the two were distracted, it was as if they had evaporated into thin air, disappearing along with the fluctuations in the air.

As the figure fluttered and disintegrated.

The remaining voice of Arima Shizuya was also heard intermittently at this moment.

"Keep going... forward... until you reach the end, and you will find your answer..."

"what?!"

Shiba Ganju couldn't help but shout out - Turtle! Are all the guys in the Gotei 13 so outrageous?!

By comparison.

Ichigo Kurosaki's performance was much more normal.

It was difficult for him to describe his current emotions. After all, his behavior just now was essentially a rejection of the other party's kindness.

At the same time, a tone of distrust was also expressed.

Call it guilty conscience or guilt.

All the fluctuations in his heart now made him feel an indescribable sense of anxiety.

As if he had done something wrong.

"hateful……"

He punched himself hard in the face, the magnitude of the punch was so great that even Yan Jiu, who was standing next to him, felt his scalp tingling.

"Hey Ichigo! What's wrong with you?!"

"No, it's okay... I just want to sober myself up."

Too complicated.

Ever since coming to Soul Society, everything that has happened has become too complicated!

My decadent father seems to have some unclear connection with the Soul Society, and the people here also know me inexplicably...

What was that kindness that was just shown?
What kind of hidden story is involved here? Why am I the only one who knows nothing about it?
No matter who it is, they are hiding these things. Even if you ask them, in the end they can only say "it's for your own good."

Ichigo Kurosaki pursed his lips, his mood at this moment was also extremely complicated.

But fortunately, he is not a person who is too entangled.

Excess emotions can be put off until later.

Now Ichigo Kurosaki just wants to focus all his attention on the present.

Rescue Rukia!
Everything else can be put aside and thought about slowly later!
"Ganju!"

"Oh?"

"Speed up, we have to hurry!"

"Ha, you guy~ I've been waiting for you to cheer up!"

The two of them quickened their pace, following the instructions left by Arima Shizuka, and left as quickly as possible.

at the same time.

"The heart of the south, the pupil of the north, the fingertips of the west, the toes of the east...

Gather with the wind and disperse with the rain!
The fifty-eighth way of binding: slapping toes and chasing birds!!!"

The spiritual power twisted from the Kidō began to flow out, and under Hinamori Momo's serious expression, this power went up to the sky under the gaze of everyone in the 5th Division.

Eyes filled with hope gathered here, however... the power of the Binding Technique did not spread, but completely collapsed.

The light in Hinamori Momo's eyes began to turn sad.

Even the Bindō was unable to track down any traces of Captain Arima's spiritual pressure...

So where exactly could he go?
——A few minutes ago, members of the 11th Division arrived at the squadron barracks with shocking news.

The entire Fifth Division exploded almost instantly.

Panic and anxiety, fear and uneasiness.

Just because of the disappearance of one person, the entire squad seemed to have lost its backbone and lost its ability to organize in an instant.

It was Hinamori Momo who stepped forward at the most critical moment and directed everyone in the deployment.

"Take the men to join the 11th Squadron and continue tracking the whereabouts of the travel disaster!"

"Send some of your people to explain the situation to the other squads, and ask them to send as many people as possible to help find Captain Arima!"

"The rest of you follow me!"

If you measure it with your legs, then Seireitei is indeed not too small.

It is difficult to deliver the message instantly just through similar means.

But Hinamori Momo did not use Tenpei Kura to deliver the message.

Because the spreading panic was definitely not the situation that Captain Arima wanted to see.

Standing still, Hinamori Momo's eyes flickered, and at this moment she was madly thinking like a captain.

——If I were Captain Arima, what would I do?
You need to seek help from reliable people first.

Hinamori Momo instantly had an idea.

"Come with me to the Tenth Division and ask Senior Silver for help!"

Since he and Captain Arima used to be master and disciple, he would definitely not stand by and watch someone die.

And while running.

Hinamori Momo was also filled with regret.

Knowing that this situation was extremely tense, why didn't I think of keeping a close eye on the captain?

But he disappeared at this time and was captured by the travel disaster...

Biting her lower lip, Hinamori Momo's eyes began to turn slightly red.

Captain! What on earth are you thinking about?

……

"Your vice-captain has come to visit."

"Although I tried to avoid her, she was very persistent. In the end, it was Rangiku who stepped in and managed to comfort her and keep her quiet."

"For safety reasons, let her sleep in the Tenth Squad now."

"By the way, have you ever considered the emotional problems of others after something happens to you?"

Seeing Ichimaru Gin sighing helplessly and speaking, Arima Shizuya could only laugh awkwardly and pat the back of his head gently.

"I can't care too much..."

If you don't make plans, you will not be able to keep up with the changes.

It was late at night.

Deliberately avoiding the attention of others, the members of Team Aizen regrouped and reassembled at this moment.

Compared to Ichimaru Gin's complaints, Aizen's smile was quite calm.

"Shizuya-kun did a great job. His disappearance alone has caused quite a stir. Nowadays, few people are paying attention to the trial of Rukia Kuchiki."

"Next, we just need to continue to delay time and try to bring the prison term closer."

"And in order to achieve this goal..."

Needless to say.

Arima Shizuka also raised her hands and said helplessly.

"I see. I can do it."

There is only one problem.

"Where is the best place for me to die?"

Aizen pushed his glasses calmly, with a playful smile on his face, like a bystander.

"I already have the answer to this question in my mind."

"The center of Seireitei, the court that symbolizes power and nobility."

"If the corpse appeared on its high wall, it would surely cause an uproar."

Okay.
