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

Chapter 231 230: Lend me your strength

So-called humans are rather weak and powerless creatures.

There are no sharp teeth and claws to fight.

Nor does he have a strong and honest physique.

Therefore...

Drive external forces, make them a part of yourself, and control them.

This is also a symbol of evolution.

Ask a question here.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, do you want to win?"

"Do you still want to live?"

The answers seem to be the same, but at subtle points they form two completely contradictory paths.

The moment Ichigo Kurosaki's thoughts formed, they fell heavily.

No hesitation at all.

"I want to win!"

——There is no meaning in just living.

——Everyone, everyone is moving forward desperately to rescue Rukia!

——If I hesitate here, if I give up here, what is the point of coming here?!

and so.

"Please lend me your strength!!!"

A cry from the heart.

There is absolutely no reason to ignore it.

The remaining pure Quincy power originated from Kurosaki Masaki... and raised his head slightly in the image of Yhwach from a thousand years ago.

"So……"

"and many more."

consciousness space.

It is literally Ichigo Kurosaki's 'private plot'.

There is absolutely no possibility of a third party other than our own people appearing here.

Therefore...

The one who interrupted Yhwach at this moment was Arima Shizuya, who had been silent beside him.

Bathed in the gazes of both sides, the person involved seemed to feel no so-called pressure, and just chuckled and said at this moment.

"Why don't you listen to the opinions of the parties involved sometimes? If you continue to be the head of the family like this, it will be difficult for the children to grow up."

"..."

no respond.

The expression was arrogant and indifferent, showing no emotion at all at this moment.

He just stared at the figure beside him, expressing his 'doubt' with his actions...

The so-called instinct of the Quincy is such a noble thing.

"Approval? Then I won't be polite."

The figure wrapped in black mist half-raised his right hand and pointed at Ichigo Kurosaki in front of him with a very light gesture.

"Although there are some minor incidents, the result should remain the same."

"Well then…Ichigo, don't hesitate too long."

"Make your choice."

……What's the meaning?
Before Kurosaki Ichigo could ask, the other party had already said with a smile.

"Don't be surprised. It's actually very simple... just pick one to be your helper."

Although I don't really want to attack anyone.

"But Ichigo, in your current state, you can only be compatible with one side."

It's not impossible to do both at the same time, but with the current mentality that has not yet grown up and has never experienced setbacks and hardships.

Whether it is Arima Shizuya or Youhabach, it is difficult to agree with his values.

Different from the original line.

The power that symbolizes the God of Death and the Hollow was completely suppressed by the power of the Quincy - when the two sides were in a stalemate, the fragments that leaked out formed Ichigo Kurosaki's primary means of fighting the enemy.

however.

This time is not the same.

Arima Shizuya's half soul is far more powerful than Kyobaku's.

The initial concessions were simply because we didn't want too many changes to occur, but now things have developed to this point.

Then naturally, Arima Jing wouldn't have to continue to pretend to be nice to the other party.

The power of both sides is not one-sided, but equal in the literal sense.

It is for this reason that Arima Shizuka can say this with such confidence at the moment.

Make your choice, Kurosaki Ichigo.

"..."

Strawberry Brother was lying on the ground with his mouth slightly open, obviously not aware of the current situation.

but.

This feeling of trust made Ichigo Kurosaki react quickly.

Since they are all trustworthy partners, I just need to put my mind at ease...

His eyes swung back and forth between the two, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.

Logically speaking.

It would be more realistic for me to choose Uncle Zangetsu.

After all, the other party appeared several times and gave me guidance and answered my questions.

The other party will definitely not harm him, and coupled with the "sense of trust" from many collaborations, Ichigo Kurosaki is now able to confirm his guess.

But if you choose Yhwach, the general direction of the plot will probably not change.

Simply analyze the situation.

If we want to get out of the crisis, there are only two difficulties in front of us.

Find a way to suppress this fatal injury, then subdue Kenpachi Zaraki and leave the scene.

The abilities of the Quincy can achieve both of these things perfectly.

By immersing the spirit particles into the blood vessels, physiological phenomena that were already in danger can be restored to normal through "manual" actions.

After that, he burst out with a strength that was different from his current stage, causing Kenpachi Zaraki to misjudge his strength and not give him enough time to adapt...

Although it sounds like just two simple sentences.

But in reality, it is very difficult to implement, and only those who do it will understand.

"Kenpachi Zaraki's overall strength is far beyond the normal level... If he were to let loose, something terrible would definitely happen."

It can be said that if we think about the problem from a rational perspective, choosing Youhabach at this moment is also a relatively correct idea.

After all, Quincy is good at similar 'control' and 'burst'.

In comparison, if you choose other powers... maybe it would seem a little less appropriate?
This idea was just Arima Shizuya's guess, and in Ichigo Kurosaki's opinion, he naturally would not understand these rules and regulations.

The blond boy just felt confused and uneasy.

After all, this was the first time he faced such a thing.

Before actually making a choice, Kurosaki Ichigo hesitated for a moment... A conflicted look appeared in his eyes, and finally he turned around.

Arima Shizuya is on one side.

"Can I... please?"

Lend me your strength.

I don't know how to describe it - but after entering Soul Society, this strange yet familiar figure always reminds Ichigo Kurosaki of many things.

Where have we met before?
who are you?
Why did it appear in my mind?

Similar questions still remain unanswered, but even if the doubts remain, they will not affect the boy's judgment.

Ichigo Kurosaki.

Be willing to trust each other.

Yhwach closed his eyes silently in a gesture of acquiescence.

Arima Shizuka also chuckled softly and couldn't help shaking her head.

good boy.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying any more nonsense.

The Yhwach beside him gradually turned into thin mist and dissipated.

Arima Shizuya, who stood still, tensed his entire body...

Although there is no entity.

But the body still began to expand and contract regularly, just like breathing.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
This is the echo of a heartbeat, as deep as the sound of a bell. Just the moment you hear it, it makes your blood boil.

Ichigo Kurosaki, who was lying on the ground, stood up without him noticing.

He stared blankly at the figure not far away, and the mist around him began to swirl and rise and fall.

In the end, it was like a spring that had been compressed to the extreme.

Bloom and splash in an instant!

In this fleeting moment, Kurosaki Ichigo finally saw... the pale background like snowflakes.

An image that was enough to make Kurosaki Ichigo's breathing pause appeared at this moment.

"Ichigo, let me be clear."

"My power is far inferior to your uncle Zangetsu's."

"Its form is more violent and difficult to control. You may not be used to it if you try it for the first time."

But it doesn't matter.

because.

"This is you too. It's a side of your soul that you have never touched or even acknowledged."

“It is impossible for a person to have only a bright and beautiful side, even if he is ugly or vicious.”

“But it’s also really you, and it’s also a part of you.”

The so-called pure...instinct.

……

"Jian-chan, do you know the way back?"

"……do not know."

"Ahaha! Then why did you go ahead by yourself? Yachiru thought Ken-chan had gotten smart!"

"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way. You have already detected the aura just now, right? The others actually started to take action for no apparent reason..."

Really.

"It's so boring that they didn't even wait for me to arrive!"

The momentum of a captain-level figure unleashing his Zanpakutō is already extraordinary—and the one who has just fought at this moment is Kenpachi Zaraki, who has not yet given his all.

Naturally, it’s also a time when emotions run high!
"It seems that someone was killed suddenly. Well... no matter what, it is necessary to go back first."

Yachiru whispered for a while and looked around for a moment.

She sat on Kenpachi Zaraki's shoulders and raised her hand to point to the front right.

"This way!"

But Kenpachi Zaraki, who always obeyed her, did not respond this time.

"Eight Thousand Flows..."

"what?"

"Come down."

The commanding tone did not allow for any rebuttal.

Even while speaking, he never looked at his deputy captain directly.

I saw Kenpachi Zaraki's head half turned around, and at this moment he was staring at the embarrassed figure in the distance.

Travel disaster...

No, it should be Kurosaki Ichigo.
