Bleach-Stir Up

The city where I lived was half gone. As Ichigo, who was born and grew up here, has a strong bond with this land, he lost consciousness even before it disappeared.

How does he feel at this moment?

Blame? Blaming us people for not protecting this place?

No, if Ichigo really has this kind of complaint, then everyone will not worry about him so much some time ago, and worry that his act of taking responsibility on him will one day overwhelm him.

It’s self-blame. Renji looked at Ichigo’s slightly trembling back and was a little worried. He was desperately engaged in cultivation, and he could clearly feel that the gap between himself and the enemy was shrinking, but the result seemed to violate everything. Logic is hitting my confidence.

It is also a sense of powerlessness, which is different from the powerlessness of being stepped on by the enemy without fighting back. The two sides face each other as if they are in two spaces, watching each other take them one by one. The most precious thing around you doesn't know how to stop it, making people full of anger and helplessness.

"Hey, Ichigo, you..."

"Why are you hiding from me, why?"

Renji doesn't know how to answer, or say There is no need to answer. Although Rukia keeps saying that Ichigo is an idiot, he doesn't really understand anything.

Urahara was frank and said directly: “Because you are worried that you cannot bear it, just thinking of possible casualties makes you very guilty, not to mention the huge gap that is already in front of you. I've seen it several times." Turning his head to look at Ichigo, Urahara smiled and changed his words: "Now it seems that we have been worrying about it. You are a lot stronger, Ichigo."

Ichigo is indeed In self-blame, he hated that he was too slow to master Hollowfication, so even in the matter of guarding the city where he lived, he couldn't do much.

You can control Hollowfication from the fear of Hollowfication. The only thing he understands is that self-blame is not enough. You must turn it into your courage and motivation to truly overcome the difficulties in front of you.

"I will never stand still. Anyway, I will take back the city and my companions. Can you help me, Urahara-san?"

"It's not just me, Seireitei will not just wait." Urahara patted Ichigo's shoulder. "But it's not enough to enter Hueco Mundo. Kotōmi is also preparing for it."

"Mr. Chōzuka ?"

"He has already returned to Seireitei. Bringing back to Karakura Town is not something you can do alone."

Ichigo frowned: "But I can't wait long ."

"You won’t wait too long, Kotōmi will handle the matter over there soon."

As Urahara said, Kotōmi didn’t let Ichigo and The others waited too long, and he came back around noon on the next day, and Yukio was with him.

For the loss of this large-scale collision, Yamamoto, who changed his scolding, had already finished scolding in the remote communication. It was nothing more than losing half of Karakura Town because of an Inoue Orihime. He came as a commander. Said to be extremely failed.

Of course, Yamamoto doesn’t have any doubts. Kotōmi doesn’t want to give up anything on the first day. If you want to get the most benefits without paying the price, the final result is often more. Big loss.

He also hopes that Kotōmi can really learn his lesson this time.

It is reasonable to say that the impact of this failure will be great, but at this moment Central 46 Compound is still reorganizing, and it is getting closer to the final battle. As long as Gotei 13 does not blow up, no one will be here. It's time to ask Kotōmi's responsibility for this.

After all, even Kuchiki and Zaraki, the two Captains, were bothered by Tsukikage. Even if they did not voluntarily, they still became Aizen's accomplices. As a result, Kotōmi has become even more difficult to give up.

The reason for returning to Seireitei is to discuss the invasion of Hueco Mundo and prepare for it. As for the loss of half of Karakura Town, Captain's disagreement is still quite big, and their only consensus , Even if you want to send someone back to Karakura Town, you can't put too much effort into it.

This was completely in Kotōmi's expectation, but he looked a little tired, and the current decision is not a matter of a sentence or two.

"The lost half of Karakura Town must be dealt with. The arrangement of Captain-Commander is that I lead a squad to Hueco Mundo and move on standby."

Renji's emotional moment After riding a roller coaster, he was a little suspicious of his ears when he heard the first half sentence that he had to deal with, but when he heard the'squad' again, he knew that he still thought too much.

"I must go, Mr. Chōzuka!"

"And me..."

"I want to go too."

Ichigo, Inoue, and Sado expressed their opinions one after another. Seeing their eagerness, if they really don't take them there, they might die alive.

"If you don’t want to join, I might be more surprised."

Kotōmi joked blankly, and then said, "Ichigo, you include human talents like Ginjō. It is the main force this time. Facing the abilities of Kyōka Suigetsu, even Shinigami with excellent battle strength is currently powerless. Therefore, Seireitei will not use more power."

"Kaien, there is also , Renji, you will also enter Hueco Mundo with us." Kotōmi glanced over the rest of Rukia and the others, "The rest of the people stay in Human World and follow Urahara’s orders, Kurosaki Ichigo, Inoue Orihime... Finally, Abarai Renji is all the staff of the Hueco Mundo squad."

"Yes!"

Kotōmi nodded, Rukia has a rather nuanced look, "I also apply to go together." Hueco Mundo, Chōzuka onii-san!"

"It’s too much for such a fun thing to not take me, Captain Chōzuka!" Ikkaku grinned and licked his lips, as if Hueco Mundo is a pleasure Field-like.

Even Matsumoto and Yumichika, who are usually calm, are nodded. Although they did not speak, they also hope to retake the half of the city they lost in their hands.

Kotōmi raised his hand and said earnestly: "It doesn't matter whether you are righteous or guilty in your heart, even if we feel ashamed because of our indifference in this matter, I can understand it. But you have to figure it out. , This is a war. Before the last battle, you may have lost important things, but you still have to invest your strength to protect the things you can leave. Going and staying are equally important!"

"If I If you can’t grow up, you will definitely be protected in the next battle.” Rukia bowed deeply, “Take it as a training for me, Chōzuka onii-san, please let me go together, please!”

"I may not have too much energy to take care of you. In Hueco Mundo, you have to do everything possible to survive."

"Yes!"

Kotōmi nodded, "Then add Rukia, this is..."

"Wait a minute!"

Kotōmi hadn't finished speaking, I saw a white outfit Ishida Uryū jumped down, "You Shinigami, even our city is not well protected. How can I be assured that only you will go to Hueco Mundo?"

"Then add hello, welcome to join , Ishida Uryū."

Ishida smiled and asked, "When will we leave?"

"It's now." A stone gate, like a black mist, rose from Kotōmi's feet. Start, "Go to Hueco Mundo!"
