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

Chapter 252 251: Arima Jing also owes me this!

Returned from Soul Society.

Ichigo Kurosaki and his crew returned to normal life, and after a period of calm down, they seemed to be back on track.

But he would still turn his head from time to time and look towards the empty seat.

Rukia Kuchiki.

She did not return to the world with him.

Although the Soul Society has dropped the charges against her, considering what happened later, Rukia should not suffer similar unfair treatment again.

After all, he was a victim.

How should I put it... I feel a little relieved.

After all, this experience of exploring Soul Society made Ichigo Kurosaki experience too many firsts in his life.

See blood, risk your life.

The power that crushes everything, and...that familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

The world of the dead has an unusually oppressive feeling.

But at the same time, Ichigo Kurosaki had a sense of loss.

It was as if something invisible disappeared along with all his experiences.

Is the man inside my body really... that kind of person?

Everyone seemed to be hiding something from him, and this feeling had become more and more obvious since he returned from Soul Society.

Holding down the ballpoint pen in his hand, Ichigo Kurosaki's brows began to frown.

Not long after.

The course has come to an end for now.

On the podium, the teacher also introduced the transfer students to everyone.

"My name is Hirako Mako, please take care of me~"

Ichigo Kurosaki didn't care too much about this, but he didn't expect the other party to sit directly next to him.

And he gave a meaningful smile.

"...?"

Does this guy know me?
Ichigo Kurosaki had absolutely no impression of this person.

She has short yellow bob hair and a constant smile on her face...she looks completely cynical.

It gives people the impression that they are not very good at studying.

Not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble, Kurosaki Ichigo simply nodded and immediately looked away.

after class.

Everyone who had gone to rescue Rukia gathered together spontaneously at this moment.

Even someone as calm as Inoue Orihime felt a little scared at the fact that her group was able to retreat safely.

But it doesn't matter anymore! After all, it's all over.

——That's right.

Feeling the fluctuation of spiritual power, Ichigo Kurosaki took out his Death Proxy Certificate and said goodbye to his other companions.

"Sorry, I have to go first."

Death Agent.

This is Ichigo Kurosaki's part-time job now.

As a substitute god of death who protects Karakura Town, he is active in the human world.

Although the ability to perceive spiritual power is still noisy and not precise...but the opponent is just a brainless person after all. After several attempts, he quickly found the location of the real owner.

All evil must be eradicated.

Ichigo Kurosaki packed up his things and was about to leave.

A sharp breath came from behind him.

"...?!!!"

He turned around suddenly and saw the newly transferred student, Mako Hirako, rushing towards him with a smile.

And what he held in his hand was the same Zanpakutō as those of other Shinigami!

This guy……

Before he could even open his mouth, the other party had already chopped him down on the head.

bump!
Sparks flew and air waves rolled.

"you……"

Ichigo Kurosaki frowned. The power displayed by the other party was extraordinary, which gave him an uneasy feeling.

"Wow, you're quite capable, Ichigo."

"who are you!"

"Anyway, I'm not your enemy~"

Hirako Mako smiled widely as he launched a barrage of attacks, accompanied by a whisper that made Ichigo Kurosaki's heart tremble slightly.

"Want to know? Deep down in your heart, that man who scares you...what is his origin?"

"...?!!!"

The expressions that were originally serious now became extremely shocked.

Ichigo Kurosaki has never told anyone about his physical condition, let alone the God of Death in Soul Society, even his close companions.

But the other party lightly revealed the secret hidden deep in his heart and repeated it in a calm tone.

"I've been following you since you were little."

"Ichigo Kurosaki, your strength, your confusion, and everything about you... can all be found with us."

"So, would you consider coming to our place?"

Each word was like a heavy truck crashing into his heart, breaking through the already weak barriers and causing Ichigo Kurosaki to open his mouth slightly.

But he just couldn't utter anything decent.

"Who...are you...?"

What do you mean he's been observing me since I was a kid? Why does this guy know so much... Who is he?!
"me?"

Mako Hirako took a half step back, the smile on her face not diminishing at all.

A mere verbal description is too weak, considering the current situation and the other party's mood.

At times like this, we still need some more impactful images.

Mako Hirako covered his face with his right hand, half of his face was covered, leaving only that cynical smile.

Saw this action.

Kurosaki Ichigo's heart seemed to skip a beat.

Is it...

Before my thoughts could concentrate, the next moment, black and red lightning crisscrossed and flashed in the air.

The milky white secretions appeared rapidly until they completely covered Hirako Mako's face, forming a hideous and terrifying...

mask.

A pair of eyes slowly raised from behind the hole, and the other party's voice was still teasing, but it also carried a sense of overlapping reciprocation.

"How about this? After seeing this, do you understand what I'm talking about?"

Mask!

Just like the appearance of Ichigo Kurosaki in Soul Society, the other party also possesses such power!
"you……"

Seeing Ichigo's shocked expression, Hirako Makoto easily took off the mask, revealing his true face.

"We have the same powers, so I understand your confusion."

Bridging the distance between each other is a necessary condition for achieving communication.

Hirako Mako's tone was normal at this moment, and he even took half a step forward.

"And you also want to know, right? Why does that man appear in your mind when you use this power?"

"..."

"I can give you the answer, so why not come with me?"

"..."

"I will tell you everything about that man...Arima Shizuya."

At this moment.

Different from the original timeline.

Ichigo Kurosaki made his decision.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, and responded with a firm look.

"I'll go with you!"...

Although the judgment was made decisively.

But when he really followed behind Mako Hirako, Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't help but feel uneasy.

It seems a bit too hasty to make such a decision myself?
After all, if you think about it carefully, he has no idea about Hirako Mako. He only knows about the mask and the name...

At this moment, I was "kidnapped" by the other party. After calming down and thinking about it, I really felt that I was not careful.

"arrive."

The other party's voice came, bringing Kurosaki Ichigo's attention back to reality.

The two of them fell down quickly, and at the same time, Ichigo was constantly observing his surroundings.

It's a place on the outskirts of Karakura Town, and he wouldn't normally come here to hang out... so naturally he would feel unfamiliar with it.

"This way."

After taking Ichigo through many twists and turns, they finally pushed open a rolling door.

At this moment, some figures also came into Ichigo Kurosaki's sight.

It was an empty space similar to a car repair shop, filled with many people dressed in various styles and looking strange...

Everyone's attention has been focused on this moment.

It's normal to say hello and get to know each other first at this time.

But... I don't know why.

Ichigo Kurosaki always feels that these people are quite unkind to him?
Completely not understanding this groundless malice, the boy subconsciously frowned and was about to take a defensive posture.

A little girl with blond hair and a somewhat ruffian look jumped off the tire.

She put her hands in her trouser pockets and walked towards him with a step that showed she didn't care about anyone.

He looked Kurosaki Ichigo up and down with a somewhat ferocious gaze, and his tone had nothing to do with "kindness".

"Are you the guy who possessed Arima Shizuya's power?!"

"..."

There's that name again.

However, the other party did not seem to be here to find answers. Before Kurosaki Ichigo could respond, she raised her leg and kicked Ichigo's knee!
pain!
"What the hell are you doing!"

"Just bear with it!"

I didn’t expect that this little dwarf has even more momentum.

She pointed at Ichigo, who was half squatting with his knees hugged, and spoke viciously.

"Arima Shizuka owes me this! That bastard betrayed us and lied to us for so long!"

……what?

What does that have to do with me?!

Although he wanted to complain like this, he could only remain speechless after seeing that guy turned around and ran away.

What retreats with one strike.

What on earth was she doing here?

At the same time, Kurosaki Ichigo also heard the voices of others talking.

"Has the kid from back then grown up this big?"

"Time flies so fast..."

"After all, we are not very sensitive to these things."

Very strange.

It seems like everyone here knows me.

However, Ichigo Kurosaki has no memory at all.

This feeling of "inequality" made the person involved's head swell, so much so that he couldn't help but frown in the end.

Urgently... He urgently wanted to know what had happened to him.

What does that man's name mean?
"I'm sorry, that's just Hiyori's temper. If we get along for a while, she'll apologize to you."

Mako Hirako's expression was quite helpless. After saying this, he hesitated for a moment as if he himself could not accept it.

Then added.

"Hmm...probably."

Not very interested in these things, Kurosaki Ichigo just stared at the other person.

"I want to know everything."

Hirako Mako chuckled.

"Of course, I will tell you everything I know."

While Ichigo Kurosaki was in contact with the Masked Army, Uryu Ishida, who had lost his power due to the Scattering Spirit Gloves, also began to come into contact with his father.

"I can restore your strength, but there are corresponding conditions and requirements."

Ishida Ryugen.

Compared to decades ago, this guy's expression is obviously much more serious.

"First, from now on you can no longer have any contact with any god of death."

"...!"

The first condition alone is somewhat unacceptable.

But the education and cultivation he received made Ishida Uryu choose another answer.

"What about other requirements?"

"second……"

Adjusting his glasses, Ishida Ryugen's tone remained low.

"After you have fully recovered your strength, I need you to contact someone and obtain some intelligence and information from him that I want to know."

"……who?"

He did not answer immediately, but took out a photo from the drawer.

"You are not unfamiliar with this. You have come into contact with it in Soul Society."

Take it away and hold it in your hand.

You can see that the lines on it are very old, obviously a sign that it has been collected for a long time.

The information that can be obtained is also quite simple.

The other person is a figure located in the center of the camera. That person is facing the camera and seems to want to pose.

But he seemed to be struggling to find the right move, and in the end he could only awkwardly make a V-sign with his hands.

The familiar Shinhaku costume, but on top of it, there is also an even rarer haori.

Ishida Uryu has been to Soul Society, and he understands... this is something that only captain-level characters can possess.

As for who is the person here?
Although his face looks a little immature, there is no mistaking this face.

"Arima Shizuya..."

The one who betrayed Soul Society and destroyed the Seireitei in public.

During this trip to Soul Society, Ishida Uryuu was most impressed by this man.

"It's just... what is this photo?"

"This is a photo of him when he first became captain. If you count it now, it should be several decades ago."

Not understanding why his father got such a strange thing, Ishida Uryu pursed his lips slightly, then smiled with relief.

"You clearly told me not to contact the God of Death, but you still asked me to go find this guy?"

Not minding Uryu's sarcasm, Ishida Ryugen adjusted his sitting posture and showed a thoughtful expression.

"This man... is different from other Shinigami. You will understand this when you come into contact with him later."

Riddler's attitude only made Ishida Uryuu more impatient.

But I still need the other person to give me strength, so I can only continue to listen patiently.

"After you meet him, I need you to confirm something with him."

"That's..."

The conversation between the father and son disappeared in the silent night sky, and at the same time, Ishida Uryu's pupils dilated slightly.

It also indicates that this conversation is definitely not simple.

A butterfly named Arima Shizuya.

The breeze it stirred up has gradually turned into a sweeping gale over the passage of time.

Everything will change.
