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

Chapter 300: 299: One-year bloody battle

Chapter 300: 299: A Thousand Years of Bloody Battle Belonging to One Person

The itinerary in Soul Society remained the same without any change, and at the same time.

On the other side of the world, something unknown but extremely important is also happening.

"Kurosaki-kun~I have something important to tell you."

"Please be sure to go to ..." before 12:00 on XX/XX/XX

"I'll meet up with Kurosaki-kun over there."

——I can’t count how many times I have looked at this little note in my pocket.

The handwriting was not unfamiliar, it was written by Urahara Kisuke.

The cynical store manager has had no contact since the last battle in Hueco Mundo. Even the Urahara store was closed and no one knows where he moved to.

He thought the matter would end like this, but unexpectedly a few days ago a black cat suddenly jumped onto his windowsill and sent the object into the room.

It's Miss Shifengyuan Yoruichi.

"and many more!"

I wanted to say something, but the other party seemed to just deliver the thing and then left the room without looking back.

Long before the war with Hueco Mundo ended, Ichigo Kurosaki seemed to have returned to his daily life.

However, this is not what the parties involved want.

Because of what happened that day, he was not able to witness it to the end... Just after Arima Shizuya and Aizen Sosuke left Soul Society together, he was forcibly repatriated by the Gotei 13.

As a result, Ichigo Kurosaki now has very little information about Soul Society.

Normally, I can only learn a little bit from Rukia.

and so.

"Did Arima-san fail?"

Otherwise, the Soul Society should have changed by now.

With these uneasy thoughts in mind, Ichigo Kurosaki has been feeling uneasy these days. After a few days of confusion...

Ichigo Kurosaki, wearing uniform, arrived at the agreed place at the agreed time.

What came into view was a ruined area. Considering that this was an area close to the edge of Karakura Town, Ichigo Kurosaki seldom came to such a place on a normal day.

"Mr. Urahara? Urahara..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Ichigo Kurosaki was hit on the head by something, and he staggered a few steps uncontrollably.

Turning his head, he saw a black cat licking its paw, looking at him with a human-like, playful expression.

"You're taking too long, Ichigo!"

"Ms. Ye... Miss Ye Yi!"

A black mist appeared, and the naked black-skinned sister emerged from it, smiling and hooking her arms around Ichigo Kurosaki's neck.

"Long time no see, how have you been lately~"

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine..."

"What what what what? Are you stuttering, kid?"

"Anyway, put on your clothes first!"

Ichigo Kurosaki hurriedly threw a coat over, patted his hot cheeks, and managed to calm himself down.

Closer to home.

"Ms. Ye Yi, I received the note you gave me before. May I ask what this is..."

Before Shifengyuan Yoruichi could speak, another unexpected voice came from beside him.

"You little brat, before you ask anyone, at least take a look around you, okay?"

He was dressed in a dark suit, had a square face, and walked with an unbridled and unbridled pace...

Kurosaki Isshin was picking his nose and looking at his eldest son in front of him with disgust.

"Hey? Dad?!"

"Ah~ It's me. What's wrong? Why do you look so surprised?"

If you’re not surprised, then something’s wrong!
"Where have you been all this time?! Do you know how worried we are about you? Youzi and Xiali can't even eat, and they've been hanging around the Metropolitan Police Department these past few days!"

"The hospital's business can't continue at all. How much do you think is left in your bank account?"

"Are you planning to make us suspend our studies and work part-time?!"

Kurosaki Isshin, who was originally smiling, choked up. He avoided Kurosaki Ichigo's burning gaze and hesitated for a while.

"Hmm, sorry..."

Who wants to hear your apology?
"What an irresponsible fellow you are, Kurosaki Isshin."

And then a strange guy appeared out of nowhere. He was wearing a neat white suit, his hair was neatly groomed, and his thin-framed glasses were delicate and beautiful.

Although I don't know him, I always feel that he looks very familiar...but this feeling is only a fleeting moment.

Because the other figure standing next to him was someone he was very familiar with.

"Ishida Uryu?!"

No, wait.

"You, you've been on leave for a while, saying you were going back to take care of family matters..."

The gloomy heir of the Ishida family stood not far away, and by adjusting his glasses, he barely concealed his disdainful look...

No wonder, it’s not covered at all!

"Idiot... You can't even understand an excuse like that."

Before Kurosaki Ichigo could react, Urahara Kisuke seemed to emerge from the ground.

He shook out the folding fan in his hand and spoke to everyone present with a smile.

"Everyone's here already? I didn't expect that I'd be the last one... Ahahaha, how embarrassing."

No, no, no. Anyway, let’s put all these messy things aside for now.

Ichigo Kurosaki slapped his forehead in confusion, looking around, trying to accept the current situation.

Boss Urahara and Miss Yoruichi, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared.

The old man seemed to be preparing something and did not show up until this moment. Even his good friend Ishida Uryu seemed to have participated in this and became an indispensable part.

What are these people planning?
"Kurosaki-kun seems very surprised? Mr. Isshin, didn't you explain it clearly to him?"

Urahara Kisuke waved the folding fan in his hand and looked at Kurosaki Isshin beside him with some subtlety... As for the latter.

At this moment, he turned his head away with a guilty look on his face, mumbling something incomprehensible like "My family has a laissez-faire education" and "Boys all grow up like this."

of course.

What greeted him was naturally the self-sacrificing flying kick that was inherited from the Kurosaki family.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you irresponsible guy!!!"

"Pfft!!!"

The originally somewhat serious atmosphere was made less stiff by the passionate interaction between the father and son.

The corners of Ishida Uryu's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice, just like his biological father. They both lowered their heads at the same time and used the gesture of pushing up their glasses to hide the tension in their expressions.

"Long Xian, are all members of the Kurosaki family like this?"

"If it's Masaki, it's understandable..."

Considering the past relationship between the father and son, it was absolutely impossible to achieve this kind of "equal communication" state.

However, everything changed with the appearance of Arima Shizuya.

The information sharing with the Invisible Empire allowed Ishida Uryuu to know the past of the Ishida clan and the blood feud between them and Yhwach in advance.

This allowed Ishida Uryu to let go of the past and once again united with Ryugen.

"Masaki... is that Ichigo's biological mother?"

"Let's stop here. I don't really want to go into this topic."

Although the father and son still left their conversations unfinished and often went into a cold war, their relationship had obviously improved a lot compared to their previous relationship of never speaking to each other.

Seeing the farce in front of him escalate, even someone as shrewd as Urahara Kisuke couldn't help but reveal an expression that was difficult to hold back.

What on earth is going on with these guys...

"Alright, alright, everyone, please calm down for a moment and let's finish our business first, how about that?"

A duo of Quincy who wear glasses and appear to be deep.

The two grim reapers wrestled with each other.

Is the so-called father-son relationship such an abstract thing? Urahara Kisuke sighed from his heart.

After using a heavy uppercut to make Kurosaki Ichigo feel the long-lost fatherly love, Kurosaki Isshin took the opportunity to distance himself and put on a very cocky expression.

"It's still a hundred years too early to fight me!"

"How can you be so serious with your son..."

Losing interest in playing any more, Kurosaki Isshin rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, so I'll just make it short."

"I have been missing for a while because I was dealing with a very important matter..."

"Not only did this consume a lot of my energy, but even Long Xian helped a lot."

Of course. Kurosaki Isshin raised his right hand, pointed his thumb in the opposite direction, and shook it lightly towards Ishida Uryu's position.

"Your classmates are also an essential part."

Ichigo Kurosaki became more and more curious. Ishida Uryu was involved in this, but he was completely unaware of it...

"So what is going on?"

"Don't be so impatient! Really... you're not like your mother at all!"

So, uh…what were you trying to say?

"Now I remember, are you concerned about what's going on in Soul Society?"

Ichigo Kurosaki became more energetic. He nodded quickly and was about to speak.

But he saw his father picking earwax with his little finger and speaking in a light tone.

"You can't contact them anymore because we have already taken action in advance to prevent them from having any meaningful contact with you."

As if to emphasize, Urahara Kisuke next to him said.

"That's the point~ Yeah, I've been imitating Rukia's voice lately and it's really addictive."

Ichigo Kurosaki felt his head starting to grow sharper.

"……Why?"

Why do you want to do such meaningless things?

As if he could hear Ichigo Kurosaki's inner voice, Urahara Kisuke, with half of his face covered, had a subtle expression and spoke in a serious tone at this moment.

"Of course it's because of the man inside you, Ichigo-kun."

Without a doubt, it was the guy named Arima Shizuya.

“Even if we don’t need to emphasize it, I think you can understand the current situation of Soul Society, right?”

Urahara Kisuke's tone was calm, but his words made Ichigo Kurosaki's scalp tingle.

"The rebellion planned by Aizen Sosuke and Arima Shizuya has been suppressed by the Soul King himself. Today, Soul Society has rebuilt the Soul Society and established a new order."

"And some time ago, the executions for the two were made clear."

"Aizen Sosuke was taken to hell and used as experimental material... and Arima Shizuya was sentenced and hanged."

Shihouin Yoruichi walked up slowly and gave the most favorable testimony.

"The Shifengyuan family's letters also prove the authenticity of these contents. Even if there are errors, they are probably just minor differences."

Experimental materials... hanging...

Ichigo Kurosaki felt his breathing become three times heavier.

"Then, then these things..."

"What does it have to do with you? That's what you want to ask, Kurosaki-kun."

Urahara Kisuke put away his folding fan and showed a very serious expression at this moment.

"That's of course because it's of great importance, and it's enough to affect the future of the three realms, as well as the fate of all living beings."

"Kurosaki-kun, although I understand your doubts, you must be mentally prepared..."

"Because from now on, what we have to explain will be an extremely crazy plan that no one understands."

It's a pity.

"I was not the one who planned such an incredible feat."

"It's Arima Shizuya who is in prison and will be hanged soon."

"How touching... I am also moved by the wisdom and broad-mindedness of that man."

In order to bridge the information gap between them, Urahara Kisuke described Arima Shizuya's experience in the most concise and calm tone.

"In other words."

"Now, Arima Shizuya has completely turned into an ordinary person."

"But this is also part of his plan. It's just that the person involved has completely lost his ability to move, so from now on... he can only rely on our actions."

The word is settled.

Urahara Kisuke waved his right hand lightly, and a bright ball of light appeared from his arms.

It was... something indescribable.

It is round, thin and slender, and begins to expand and contract with the vibration of breathing... as if it has life.

"This is……"

"This is a very detailed experimental result. Not only me, but also Kurotsuchi Mayuri played a big role in it."

Opening his folding fan, Urahara Kisuke revealed a meaningful expression.

"It combines the technologies of cybernetics and cultivating a spirit from scratch. It also incorporates the concept of artificial bodies, and continuously corrects and reconstructs them."

“It was not until the very end that something like this could be formed.”

"Although it has been 'completely changed', its true form is still something that even Kurosaki-kun would not find strange."

After a pause, Urahara Kisuke spoke word by word.

"This is one of Arima Shizuya's Bankai abilities, an ability called 'Kinnara'."

"...?!!!"

but.

Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't help but speak.

"Didn't Mr. Arima's Zanpakutō disappear?"

Urahara Kisuke did not refute, but just chuckled and agreed.

"That's a matter of course."

But then again.

"Isn't the power of Yaksha still retained in your body at this moment?"

A moment of choking is enough to express the attitude of the person involved.

After witnessing the other party's reaction, Urahara Kisuke's tone became increasingly calm.

"The meaning of Kinnara is essentially the same as that of Yaksha, both of which construct another kind of power outside the body."

Among the eight groups of people, "Kinnara" is the god of singing and a musician who specializes in playing Dharma music.

It means "non-human" in Sanskrit.

So, how do we explain the non-humans?
"Having powers that are different from those of ordinary people means that one has extraordinary plasticity. And after training in a specific direction, one will naturally have special abilities in a targeted manner."

Just like the Yasha power that resided in Ichigo Kurosaki's body, Kinnara was used for training and became a backup plan.

"Arima Shizuya had already completed preparations for this before engaging the Gotei 13."

"He handed the derivative of this ability to me and gave me a plan..."

"We call it, 'The Program to Train the Strongest Quincy'."

the first.

“It takes time, and plenty of time to prepare and grow.”

The time when Urahara Kisuke was missing was spent dealing with this matter.

second.

"In order to enter the Invisible Empire, you need tools that can be used to enter and exit it, as well as the help of people who know about the Invisible Empire..."

The evidence of the Invisible Empire and the arrival of Ishida and his son have already made their position clear.

Isshin Kurosaki's activity and busyness during this period are all for the purpose of finding a new foothold for the Invisible Empire.

third.

"It is rumored that Yhwach, as the ancestor of all Quincy, is able to know the intelligence information of all his descendants. But there are always unexpected things, especially with the double insurance of Kurotsuchi Mayuri and I..."

The cyborg technology can allow Kinnara to break away from the Quincy's system.

But that alone is not enough.

Therefore...

"Arima Shizuka also needs a chance to completely cut off the past."

The power of the Zanpakutō that was stripped away by the Eye Monk, and the characteristics that were erased from the Soul King's memories.

The very existence of Kinnara cannot be spied on or observed by the ancestor of the Quincy.

Without the past, there is no future.

Only the man of 'now' stood here.

fourth.

It is also the most important part.

Urahara Kisuke walked forward slowly and gently stroked the light of Kinnara with his right hand.

"Use the power of Yasha in Kurosaki-kun's body to give it the memories that originally belonged to Arima Shizuya."
