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

Chapter 258: 257: Black Rain

The turbulent flow mixed with spiritual energy rolled back into the sky.

After waiting for the storm to dissipate, Ichigo Kurosaki, dressed in classic attire and wielding a long black blade, appeared in everyone's sight.

call……

The moment the Zanpakutō was swung, the sharpness of the blade seemed to cut through the air.

The clinking sound continued to echo, and the several Arrancars present all showed some moved expressions.

"This power..."

It's a little worrying.

But it's definitely not to the point of shock. If I had to describe it...

Yes.

"It's as disgusting as if a cockroach crawling on the ground suddenly spread its wings and flew up."

Nnoitra's sneers were heard everywhere, and his attitude was exactly what others thought.

Ulquiorra's heart remained calm, and at this moment he even had a vague feeling of doubt.

——This little bit of power is not something that can be described as fearless...

They can't even compare to the Espada that have been eliminated.

What's the point of bringing such a useless person to Xuye Palace?
I don't understand.

But the command is absolute.

Thoughts will not affect judgment and actions, Ulquiorra said before the answer was given.

"Grimmjow, make quick work of this."

NO.4 A rare order has been issued, although Grimmjow disobeys the discipline out of instinctive behavior and thinking.

But for now... Fortunately, both sides have the same focus.

"Needless to say, I would do the same!"

Completely unafraid of the power of Bankai, Grimmjow arrogantly raised his leg and kicked Kurosaki Ichigo hard.

However, the latter's reaction was extremely calm, and there was no fluctuation in his expression at this moment.

'really……'

What Mr. Arima said is correct.

'There's no point in yelling in the middle of a fight.'

"Being calm and composed is the best way to victory. You must be able to keep your composure..."

'Then the other party will expose their weaknesses to you.'

It can be seen that the trajectory of the action...

After confessing to Arima Shizuya, Ichigo Kurosaki gained not only strength, but also the other party's teachings and insights.

Various impressions from the spiritual world emerged in my mind.

At this moment, a familiar and reassuring voice also echoed in Ichigo Kurosaki's ears.

'Your skills are too crude and your state of mind is a little complicated.'

'So, start from the beginning, bit by bit.'

"It doesn't matter... Time has no meaning here. As long as you have this idea, I can continue to teach you."

Completely...completely different from the original.

Different from Kyobaki, who has a weird personality, and Yhwach, who is afraid that Kurosaki Ichigo will get hurt.

He has completely accepted this part of his own nature and reached a consensus with Arima Shizuka, who controls this part of the power.

Ichigo Kurosaki's strength is definitely not as strong as it appears on the surface.

Turn sideways and step back.

The light and agile posture highlights a maturity that is completely beyond her age.

For a moment, it felt as if Kurosaki Ichigo had completely turned into someone else... but in fact, he had not changed at all.

I just realized some things.

But at this moment, with only a half-step distance, the extremely fierce attack had completely failed.

The air seemed to be compressed to the extreme by Grimmjow, and a faint stinging sensation was felt at the moment of contact.

As if time had slowed down, Ichigo Kurosaki watched Grimmjow's expression change from far away to near.

From complacency to arrogance.

Until you are confused and puzzled.

The reason for this transformation is unknown, but for Ichigo Kurosaki, it is no longer important.

The weaknesses have been exposed.

Then the spiritual power that has been deliberately accumulated naturally does not need to be suppressed by force anymore.

Burst out in one breath.

hiss……

It was like some kind of gas was lost in the air, or as if a crack had opened up, and at some stage the inflatable ball suddenly 'burst'.

The true strength of Ichigo Kurosaki was revealed at this moment.

Keng!
The limp right hand suddenly clenched!
Ichigo Kurosaki turned his wrist upward, and the Tensa Zangetsu in his palm turned the sharp blade.

Not good!

This was the only thought that came to Grimmjow's mind.

Wherever his eyes reached, they were engulfed by the black and red lightning that had already begun to spread...

"Crescent Moon Sky Rush."

With a calm tone, Ichigo Kurosaki calmly raised his right hand.

The gas in the sky showed no signs of flowing, as if it was solidified and stagnant. However, it was completely broken the moment the young man swung his right hand down heavily.

A black ball of light that was big enough to span the entire sky emitted a huge roar amidst the rugged, twisting lightning.

Swallow Grimmjow whole!
"You guy!!!"

Grimmjow only had time to let out a hysterical roar before he was swallowed up by the ball of light and flew out.

At that moment, all the Arrancar who were able to sense what was happening showed surprised expressions.

"This guy...what's wrong with him?"

"You hid your strength and disguised yourself very well. I see, is this why Lord Aizen is paying attention to you?"

“It’s getting a little tricky.”

"...I'll do it."

It turns out.

The strength that Ichigo Kurosaki just displayed was just the tip of the iceberg.

Ulquiorra took a step forward.

Harribel glanced at him, with an indescribable subtlety in her tone.

"Do you want to return to the blade?"

Wu Laosi's gaze had not changed at all. He stared at the young man not far away from beginning to end, and his tone was the same.

"Well, after all, this guy is not someone who can be dismissed in a few moves."

"But Lord Arima has instructed us to try not to make too much noise."

"So everyone else's powers aren't suitable for this situation."

Yami came up to him and started shouting loudly.

"Hey! Let me do it!"

——A typical example is this big fool.

Instead, Nnoitra remained calm and had no desire to express himself at this moment.

Rather than expressing his own opinion, he prefers to wait until the other party is weak before taking action.

As for Grimmjow?

The Leopard King has already flown away to an unknown place...

Although there is also a situation where Ichigo Kurosaki suddenly attacks and catches the opponent off guard.

But the power displayed by the other party should not be underestimated.

"Let's just leave it at that. After all, this is something that Lord Arima had already told us about beforehand."

It was more of a declaration than a request.

Ulquiorra drew out the long sword from his waist and held it in his right hand.

There was nothing memorable about this action, but it made Ichigo Kurosaki, who was in the state below, shrink his pupils involuntarily.

Is this... a Zanpakutō?
Why can Xu possess such a level of power?

What exactly happened here?
The specific reasons are unknown, but from the current perspective, it seems that this conflict can no longer be avoided.

Ichigo Kurosaki tensed all his nerves and slightly opened his eyes. He looked at Ulquiorra staring at him from top to bottom, his emerald eyes like a mirror, reflecting his own figure.

"Then I'm going to get on."

The other party is also going to use his real skills!

The momentum was concentrated in this subtle moment, and at this moment, a voice came directly from afar.

The other party's tone was gentle, yet very memorable.

"The edge of a thousand hands cannot touch the dark hand;
The unreflected archer of the sky, the path of light, the wind that fanned the flames, gather together without confusion, just follow my instructions;
Light Bullet·Eight Bodies·Nine Threads·Heavenly Scripture·Quick Treasure·Big Wheel, gray turret;

Drawing the bow into the distance, it disappears brightly..."

The long prayers have a complex and detailed feel just by listening to them.

But just at the moment when everyone "captured" it.

All these preparations are nearing the end.

"Ninety-first of the Way of Destruction: Thousand-Handed Bright Sky Cannon."

The word is settled.

Several blindingly bright red beams of light began to appear in the sky, and they fired dense bullets of light of varying sizes, shooting towards the Arrancars.

"...?!!!"

Slightly unexpected.

But not to the point of panic.

Almost at the same time, several people came to the back of Ya Mi... The big and thick guy seemed dissatisfied.

But there was nothing he could do, as the attack was already approaching him.

"How many of you!"

The roar was drowned out by the incessant roaring echoes... Staring at what was happening in the sky, Ichigo Kurosaki's expression was inevitably surprised.

This thing was exactly what Rukia was proud of before, and she called it the method of attack of the Kidō.

Are there reinforcements?
"Kurosaki-kun!"

The unexpected voice made Kurosaki Ichigo turn his head sharply.

Urahara Kisuke raised his left hand, pressing down his bucket hat, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

But the red ball of spiritual energy vaguely appearing on the right hand meant that the one who had just taken action was none other than the seemingly cynical boss Urahara.

I want to say something, but now is not the time.

Because he saw Inoue Orihime and Chataro Yasutora rushing towards him.

The expression on Kurosaki Ichigo's face suddenly became extremely interesting.

What are you two doing in a place like this? This is not the same as the previous Soul Society operation... The level of danger is completely incomparable.

No, wait.

Perhaps he really needs help in this regard... Kurosaki Ichigo subconsciously lowered his head and glanced over.

Ishida Uryu had already fainted on the ruins not far away.

"Inoue! Go help treat Ishida's injuries first... He's in a very bad condition!"

Inoue Orihime nodded heavily, and she and Chatari Yasutora turned sharply and approached the ruins.

After confirming the extent of the injury, the high school girl immediately revealed an expression of surprise, even horror.

She couldn't help but raise her hands, cover her mouth, and sob with her voice.

"It's too much..."

Although I am not a professional doctor.

But the communication with the Fourth Division in Soul Society was enough to leave Inoue with an impression of many things.

It was a situation that required emergency treatment—she quickly took off her headdress and her expression became serious and solemn.

"Leave it to me!"

Chad Taitora stood silently beside him, consciously fulfilling his duty as guard.

Ichigo Kurosaki witnessed these actions and felt a brief sense of relief.

And in the sky not far away, Boss Urahara also looked towards him.

"Kurosaki-kun, it's amazing that you've managed to hold on until now. Thank you for your hard work."

The situation seems to be under control for now...

Just as I was concluding this thought, a cold voice pierced out mercilessly from the thick smoke.

"I see. This is the Urahara Kisuke that Aizen-sama was talking about."

"He's someone who deserves a little attention."

"But, that's all."

hum...

A roar suddenly sounded, as if making people feel that the world was shaking.

A moment later, a stream of pitch-black light rushed out from the smoke and dust!
Urahara Kisuke subconsciously widened his eyes and held the Zanpakuto in his hand horizontally in front of him.

"Beniji!"

A bright red crystalline prism took shape at a speed that was faster than the last one to arrive, and appeared in front of Urahara Kisuke.

The black and red light collided violently in the air.

They intertwined with each other until finally a slight shattering sound was heard.

Snapped……

Urahara Kisuke left the spot with a solemn expression - and the next moment, the crystalline prism that was pierced shattered into pieces, scattering from the air.

Even the power of the Zanpakuto is not enough to block an attack of this magnitude.

"Can you block my flash?"

The smoke dissipated, and Harribel raised her right hand with her index finger pointed up, her face extremely calm.

"That courage is commendable."

In other words.

This is what it means to 'overestimate one's own capabilities' in a sense.

Boss Urahara lowered the brim of his hat while smiling, but his tone hidden in the shadow gradually became more serious.

"Really? I thought I could block it easily~"

Different.

This group of Hollows... no, the so-called 'Arrancar', were completely different from the ones he was familiar with.

Not only is there a huge difference in strength, but also a more exaggerated rationality. From the appearance alone, there is no difference from ordinary people.

Aizen Sosuke.

What kind of monster did you create with the broken jade?

Taking into account the information asymmetry between each other and the more obvious difference in numbers.

At this time, a strong attack is definitely not the 'right answer'.

"Miss Yoruichi, I'll have to rely on you from now on."

The words fell.

The graceful figure flashing in the sky is expressing his response with actions.

The sky was flickering continuously, and a series of light balls surrounded several Arrancars. At this moment, Shihouin Yoruichi's voice also echoed loudly.

"This is the skill of Shifengyuan, and it is also a family heirloom."

"If you touch it, the light will cause the spirit particles to collapse..."

"You have to be more careful."

All the actions so far were just to delay time and restrict the opponent's ability to act, and then consider further...

While his thoughts were going on here, Urahara Kisuke didn't see any surprise on the faces of the Arrancars.

Ulquiorra didn't even look at Yoruichi.

"I was reminded of this kind of thing long before I set out."

"Pointless behavior..."

It doesn't even have the slightest blocking effect.

Swinging the long blade in his hand, Wu Laosi continued the unfinished action just now.

"Seal it down, Blackwing Demon."

This is the return to the blade, which means returning the power sealed in the long blade, thus showing the original form of the Arrancar as a Hollow.

On top of Karakura Town.

At this moment, with Ulquiorra's liberation, black rain began to fall.
