Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 607 Ichigo Kurosaki's Training

Kurosaki Ichigo opened his eyes, his whole body aching.

"This technology is truly amazing; I never knew it could be done like this."

He heard a sound and felt someone grabbing his wrist.

He was instantly jolted awake and got up to kick her.

Kisuke Urahara, who was studying Ichigo Kurosaki's wrist, looked up and saw a giant foot rapidly expanding in front of him.

He kicked him hard in the face, sending him flying and crashing against the wall before sliding down.

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the man sitting beside him, who was as tall as an iron tower, with a look of panic on his face.

Wearing glasses, Tetsuzai looks like a very refined man, if you ignore his bulging muscles.

He just stared intently at Kurosaki Ichigo, ignoring the shopkeeper who had been knocked away.

However, at this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki's memories finally began to return.

"Why am I here, Tayuya!?"

Kurosaki Ichigo scanned his surroundings, trying to spot Tayuya.

"I'm sorry, Ichigo-kun."

Kisuke Urahara slowly walked over, using a folding fan to cover his face, which was bleeding from his nose.

"Tayuya was taken away by that boy, but I brought you back."

When he arrived, Ichigo Kurosaki was already lying on the ground.

After all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the game ended too quickly.

Even if he wanted to stop it, it was too late.

He rushed there after discovering the spiritual pressure that Ichigo Kurosaki was unleashing.

He couldn't sense the spiritual pressure from those two people in the Land of Shadows at all. Although there were unusual energy fluctuations, they were too easy to ignore.

"No, I have to go save Tayuya!"

Ichigo Kurosaki quickly got up from the ground, ready to save Tayuya.

He couldn't let Duoyou be taken away too.

Kisuke Urahara simply said, "Then do you know where the Land of Shadows is?"

"Besides, you're not even strong enough to defeat one of their ordinary sergeants. What use would you be if you went?"

As Ichigo Kurosaki stood up, his body stiffened. The boy named Kimimaro had completely overwhelmed him.

Not to mention the Land of Shadows, which Tayuya has always been proud of, he can't even defeat one person now, let alone rescue Tayuya.

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Kisuke Urahara.

"You have a way, right? You must have a way."

He was desperate and would try anything. Although he didn't know what had happened in the Land of Shadows, Tayuya must be in great danger right now.

For now, I can only ask this person for help, and he's no ordinary person either.

Kisuke Urahara shrugged when he saw Ichigo Kurosaki's gaze.

Just when Ichigo Kurosaki was about to be disappointed.

"I actually have a way."

"Um!?"

He looked at Kisuke Urahara with surprise.

Kisuke Urahara took out the black stone in his hand: "This was left behind by that boy. I studied it for a while. As long as you inject spiritual pressure into it, you can open an unknown passage."

"That must be the Land of Shadows."

"But with your current strength, do you really think you can rescue Tayuya? Or are you just going to your death?"

Kurosaki Ichigo lowered his head. According to some of the information Tayuya had given him, the Land of Shadows was an extremely powerful country, and his strength might not be enough to save Tayuya.

"But even if it means going to my death, I will save Tayuya!"

He looked at Kisuke Urahara, whose face was full of determination.

Even if you know something is difficult, how will you know the outcome if you don't try?

He will never give up on Tayuya.

"Ara ara." Kisuke Urahara rubbed his temples, looking like he had a headache.

"You're putting me in a difficult position."

Ichigo Kurosaki knelt on the bed and looked at Kisuke Urahara: "Please, teach me to become stronger."

He kowtowed heavily to Kisuke Urahara's head.

He was willing to give up all his dignity to save Tayuya.

"This is really difficult."

Kisuke Urahara wore a meaningful smile.

The basement of Urahara Store.

"Why is the basement so big?!"

Kurosaki Ichigo stared in astonishment at the basement before him, a place with mountains, water, and sunlight.

It was more like a wasteland than a basement.

It completely deviated from his original meaning of the basement.

"This is a place I carefully designed."

Urahara Kisuke smiled proudly.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's begin training."

"Oh!" Kurosaki Ichigo nodded, then turned to look at Urahara Kisuke, who was already prepared for the hellish training.

If you're not strong enough, you won't be able to bring Tayuya back at all.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw the end of the cane hit him hard on the forehead.

Blue spiritual pressure surged rapidly from Ichigo Kurosaki's body. His body rolled backward, and his black uniform appeared on his body. He was finally able to control his body and landed on the ground.

"Hey, why did you attack without saying a word?"

Kurosaki Ichigo cursed under his breath, saying he wasn't ready yet and they were going to launch a sneak attack.

I touched my forehead, wondering if there were any marks.

Kisuke Urahara didn't reply. He used his other hand to open a folding fan and cover his face as he observed Ichigo Kurosaki.

"The body disappeared, no, the body and soul merged."

Originally, he wanted to expel Ichigo Kurosaki's body so that he could regain the power of a Shinigami.

Instead of relying on that wristband.

He clearly underestimated the technology behind that wristband.

Although he studied it for a while while Ichigo Kurosaki was unconscious, he still couldn't get to the core technology of the bracers.

However, the Soul Society has never succeeded in achieving the fusion of body and soul. How did they manage to do it?

He became increasingly curious about the Land of Shadows.

"So, is my training for combat?"

Kurosaki Ichigo swung his broken greatsword, looking down at the greatsword that Kimimaro had shattered.

The image of the powerful Kimimaro flashed through my mind.

"That's true, combat is the easiest way to improve combat strength."

Kisuke Urahara's cane turned into a knife.

Be careful.

His figure appeared instantly beside Ichigo Kurosaki.

"Awaken, Benihime!"

The sword in his hand suddenly changed, and he slashed down hard at Kurosaki Ichigo, unleashing a red slash.

Kurosaki Ichigo noticed it instantly, rolled forward to dodge the slash, and stared at the ground split in two by the slash, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Do you want to kill me?"

"What are you talking about, Ichigo-kun?" Kisuke Urahara's smile slowly faded, replaced by cold indifference.

"If you want to make significant progress in a short period of time, you must be prepared for the possibility of death."

"I was holding him."

Kisuke Urahara suddenly appeared next to Ichigo Kurosaki and kicked him hard.

The immense force sent Ichigo Kurosaki flying, tumbling through the air before crashing heavily onto a distant hill.

"boom!!!"

Smoke billowed as the hill crumbled.

"Kill your thoughts."

As the dust slowly settled, Ichigo Kurosaki emerged, holding a broken sword.

"Let's do it!!"

He has already come to his senses.

Kisuke Urahara looked at Ichigo Kurosaki thoughtfully.

As a newly appointed Shinigami, Ichigo Kurosaki's strength is somewhat abnormal.

The spiritual pressure the opponent is currently displaying should mean they can't be completely unharmed.

Is it the effect of that wristband?

If he could take off that wristband, he would really like to study it.

Kurosaki Ichigo charged toward Urahara Kisuke.

"Ichigo-kun, I wonder if you know anything about Zanpakuto?"

Kurosaki Ichigo rushed forward and swung his sword.

"What Zanpakuto?"

"There's a flaw!"

Kisuke Urahara's eyes lit up, and he kicked Ichigo Kurosaki, sending him flying once again and crashing into a hill.

"The term 'Zanpakuto' is simply the name of the sword you wield. Each sword has its own unique name, and only by calling out that name can you fully unleash the power of your Zanpakuto."

"Was Ichigo completely unaware of this?"

Kurosaki Ichigo was indeed unaware of such matters; he was simply using the sword.

He simply stopped trying to answer Kisuke Urahara's questions.

They threw themselves wholeheartedly into the battle.

"If you want to become stronger, you need to find the name of the sword."

Kisuke Urahara swung his sword down, and although Ichigo Kurosaki managed to block it in time, he was still sent flying, sword and all.

"boom!!"

Ichigo Kurosaki was breathing heavily. He had lost track of how much time had passed in this basement, but the exhaustion in his body told him that it must have been quite a while.

He lightly touched the ground with his feet, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Kisuke Urahara appeared, his sword slashing through the air.

"I'm really surprised by Ichigo's progress."

Although his words were flippant, his inner shock was genuine.

They fought here for three days.

In those three days, Ichigo Kurosaki's progress was astonishingly rapid.

Both his spiritual pressure and combat power are rising rapidly, and he has even mastered the Shunpo technique.

Kido, the four basic skills of a Shinigami. This kid, who has only been a Shinigami for a few months, is already outstanding in all of them except for Kido. He could even sit in the position of captain or vice-captain in the 13th Division.

Even so.

"But Ichigo-kun, you still haven't found the name of the Zanpakuto."

This is completely abnormal. Given the other party's spiritual pressure, they should be able to make contact with their Zanpakuto at this point.

Ichigo Kurosaki stood at a distance, instead of advancing, he retreated and charged towards Kisuke Urahara, slashing his sword diagonally from left to right.

Urahara Kisuke raised his sword to resist.

The knives in their hands clashed rapidly, a far cry from the crushing defeats of the past.

"Looks like I'll have to lend you a hand."

Kisuke Urahara's face turned cold, and he tightened his grip on the sword, bringing it down heavily.

Ichigo Kurosaki raised his sword to block.

"Snap!!"

As his pupils contracted, the entire knife shattered instantly.

Kisuke Urahara is getting serious.

"Ichigo-kun, don't blame me if you die."

Kisuke Urahara raised his hand and unleashed a crimson slash that instantly descended.

"If you don't awaken your Zanpakuto, you might as well die by my hand."

The Land of Shadows is too dangerous a place for him.

As Ichigo Kurosaki watched the sword descend upon his head, the speed of the strike far surpassed that of previous ones, and the power contained within it was many times greater.

He couldn't escape it at all.

"You're really useless."

A sigh rang in my ears.
