Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 644 Kurosaki Ichigo Loses His Power

Kurosaki Ichigo's pupils contracted.

The world before my eyes was completely turned upside down.

Hirako Shinji, who should have been hanging upside down, appeared to be standing normally in the air.

But he was hanging upside down in the sky.

"Isn't it amazing how the world is turned upside down?"

Shinji Hirako pulled his mask up to reveal his face.

Without much thought, Kurosaki Ichigo vanished from his spot and reappeared beside Hirako Shinji, slashing at him with his sword.

The knife pierced through Hirako Shinji's body.

"Everything you see—up, down, left, right, front, back—is upside down."

Hirako spoke slowly.

A figure appeared to Ichigo Kurosaki's left, slashing at him with its sword.

Ichigo Kurosaki raised his sword to parry.

The opponent's knife pierced through his own blade, and when it struck his body, it created a wound on the other side of his body.

Kurosaki Ichigo's figure vanished instantly, and he looked at Hirako Shinji.

"Can you fight when everything is upside down, Kurosaki-kun?"

Hirako Shinji asked with a light laugh.

"That's impossible, no one could possibly do that."

"When it comes to combat, everyone, regardless of who they are, is accustomed to using their vision and is dominated by their vision in combat."

"My counterattack will render this ability to fight based on visual perception futile."

Hirako Shinji charged at Kurosaki Ichigo, slashing at his left side.

Kurosaki Ichigo parried to the right, but a wound appeared on his back.

"Still not admitting defeat? There's no point in continuing to fight; you're no match for me."

Shinji Hirako asked Ichigo Kurosaki.

"All you need to do is join the Masked Legion."

Ichigo Kurosaki wavered.

The other side's abilities are simply too troublesome; perhaps joining them could end all of this.

"Hmph." Hirako Shinji chuckled.

He could tell what the other person was thinking; Ichigo Kurosaki was already wavering.

It will be really difficult to get him to regain his former determination.

It seems I'll need to train him gradually over time.

"I refuse!!" Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly exclaimed.

At least at this moment, he was resolute.

"Your abilities are not insurmountable."

Intense darkness erupted from his body.

"Since I can't determine the direction, I'll just include everything around me in my attack range."

Kurosaki Ichigo raised his sword, and a large amount of black light condensed on it.

"Darkness! Crescent Moon Heavenly Slash! Infinite Slash!!"

A large amount of black light burst forth from his body, transforming into countless blades that shot out in all directions.

These are all things that the heavens have cut off from the moon.

"That guy!"

Hirako Shinji quickly put the mask back on his face, his figure moving swiftly amidst the slashing attacks.

Kurosaki Ichigo unleashed countless slashes, continuously tearing apart the surrounding space.

Hirako Shinji was truly helpless against such a large-scale attack.

The knife in his hand swiftly cleaved through an oncoming slash.

But this was just the beginning; more and more strikes kept coming.

Hirako Shinji can only use Shunpo to quickly create distance.

They kept dodging the crescent moon.

The red light in his hand flickered.

"Cero!"

The red light rushed towards Ichigo Kurosaki, but was directly destroyed by Getsuga Tensho.

"We have absolutely no way to get involved."

"Boom!!"

The slashes landed on the ground, tearing everything in their path.

Ichigo Kurosaki suddenly stopped.

He quickly looked in the direction of Hirako Shinji.

"It's here."

"How is this possible?!"

Hirako Shinji's pupils contracted; how could the other party have found his direction so quickly?

"Darkness!! Crescent Moon Sky Strike!!"

The black and red slash quickly grew to an enormous size, charging towards him with immense power.

This time, he had absolutely no room to hide.

Unless you force it.

"This guy!!"

A red sphere of light rapidly condensed in front of Hirako Shinji.

"Cero!!"

The red pillar slashed forward.

However, it only offset part of the damage.

"That's really powerful."

Hirako Shinji sighed; he had underestimated Kurosaki Ichigo.

His body was engulfed by the slash.

"boom!!"

As the slash disappeared, his heavily injured body fell downwards, and his Zanpakuto returned to its original shape.

Ichigo Kurosaki instantly realized that everything had returned to normal.

In a flash, he appeared beside Hirako Shinji, who had fallen to the ground.

"Hey, how did you lock onto me?"

Hirako Mako asked aloud.

"intuition."

Ichigo Kurosaki didn't hide anything; he locked onto the other person based on his intuition. At that moment, he chose to trust his instincts.

Because there is no better way.

"Ha!" Hirako Shinji stared speechlessly at the night sky.

He actually lost to such a ridiculous reason.

"Pfft!"

A sound piercing through flesh suddenly rang out, and Kurosaki Ichigo's pupils dilated as he looked down.

A long knife suddenly pierced his heart.

"Kisuke Puyuan!! What are you doing?!"

Hirako Shinji suddenly stood up and roared at the man behind Kurosaki Ichigo.

With difficulty, Ichigo Kurosaki turned his head and saw Kisuke Urahara with a wide smile on his face, piercing his chest with a knife.

"This is a really hard-won opportunity, Kurosaki-kun."

"And I didn't want to kill you, I just wanted to give you back a peaceful life."

Kurosaki Ichigo stared in disbelief at Urahara Kisuke, his clothes gradually turning into black light and slowly dissipating from his body.

There was also a long knife that pierced through the chest.

He quickly felt around his chest, but there were no wounds.

He looked up at Kisuke Urahara.

"What exactly did you do?"

Ichigo Kurosaki looked completely bewildered.

"Kurosaki-kun, you can try your Shinigami powers."

Kisuke Urahara said with a smile.

Kurosaki Ichigo immediately used his spiritual pressure upon hearing this, but there was no reaction.

"After all, it's a selfish act to forcefully drag you into our world like this."

Kisuke Urahara raised his fan to cover the lower half of his face.

"So we're going to give you a choice."

"So, we're just going back to our old routine."

"Or regain your power."

He took a book out of his pocket.

"It's all your own choice."

He tossed the book in his hand to Ichigo Kurosaki.

"If you want to regain your power, do as the book says; if not, throw the book in the trash."

Kisuke Urahara lifted the fan, revealing a face full of indifference.

"After all, your current will is so weak that you simply cannot become stronger."

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at his school uniform.

"So, that means I'll never see ghosts again?"

"That's right."

Shinji Hirako, who was initially angry, looked at Kisuke Urahara with confusion, completely bewildered as to why he had done this.

"Then I'm leaving."

Ichigo Kurosaki turned around and chose to leave.

Ichigo Kurosaki's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Shinji Hirako couldn't help but ask Kisuke Urahara, "Why did you do this? You sealed away his Shinigami powers?"

Kisuke Urahara was still watching Ichigo Kurosaki's departing figure.

"The power of death alone is simply not enough."

The book he gave to Ichigo Kurosaki was a manual for training Fullbring.

He has obtained the power of Hollows and Shinigami, as well as the power of humans.

"You bastard."

The veins on Hirako Shinji's forehead were faintly bulging.

Why is it that every time I get together with this guy, he always gets really angry?

"You'd better explain yourself clearly."

Kisuke Urahara smiled without saying a word.

Hirako Shinji was even angrier.

He hates riddle tellers.

"What about Tayuya?"

Kurosaki Ichigo entered the house and asked Kuroki Isshin.

He has now completely lost the power of death.

The Land of Shadows can now completely sever ties with him.

"Oh, that relative of the Shadow Group suddenly came to see her, so she went out and said she wouldn't be back tonight."

Kurosaki Isshin said this as he thought about it.

"I never imagined she had such wealthy relatives."

"I understand." Ichigo Kurosaki turned and walked towards the room.

Hei Qi stared intently at Youzi and Xia Li, who were sitting at the dining table.

"So what happened again?"

Why does my son always seem so preoccupied?

"It hasn't always been like this lately."

Xia Li shrugged.

This is what happened after I came back from a trip with my classmates.

"It's that time of year again when teenagers face all sorts of anxieties."

Kurosaki Isshin sighed.

"But Ichigo-nii, why didn't I see the ghost behind him?"

Xia Li asked curiously.

Ichigo Kurosaki would usually drive it away.

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Kurosaki Ichigo was lying on the bed, lost in thought.

Suddenly, the power of death was sealed away.

I do get angry sometimes.

Kisuke Urahara took it upon himself to steal his Shinigami powers.

Anyone would be angry in that situation.

But for him, it was more of a sense of loss.

*Whoosh!*

The window was opened.

Rukia crouched by the window.

"Ichigo, another Hollow has appeared. Let's get out of here quickly."

Rukia was showing off the machine, but Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't see it at all.

"I'm sorry, Rukia, I no longer have the power of a Shinigami. I'll have to rely on you from now on."

"Ichigo Kurosaki sighed and said."

"What!?"

Rukia stared at Ichigo Kurosaki in astonishment.

She jumped to Ichigo Kurosaki's side, reached out and cupped his chest, and arcs of electricity flickered on Ichigo Kurosaki's chest.

"seal!?"

Rukia instantly understood what was going on and her expression changed.

"Who did it?"

Ichigo Kurosaki waved his hand and said, "That kind of thing is no longer important. From now on, I'm just an ordinary person."

"The rest is up to you."

Rukia wanted to say something, but the machine in her hand was flashing rapidly.

There was no time to say anything.

She quickly turned around and jumped out of the window; the most important thing now was to eliminate the Void.

Kurosaki Ichigo watched Rukia's disappearing figure with a sense of loss.

From then on, he was just an ordinary person.

Life seemed to have returned to normal.

Ichigo Kurosaki walked home with his schoolbag on his back.

Just as he was about to greet Arisawa Tatsuki from afar, his expression changed and his body suddenly vanished from the spot.

He was very familiar with that state.

That's the method he used to frequently use.

This looks pretty creepy.

Ichigo Kurosaki scratched his face.

He can no longer see the spirit.

He walked toward the school.

"Damn it, get out of the way!!"

Kurosaki Ichigo turned his head and saw a burly man running towards him, holding a dagger in his hand.

"Get out of the way!!"

"The robber said angrily."

Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head and kicked the other person in the chest, sending him flying ten meters across the ground.

Although he has lost his Grim Reaper powers, his body is now far stronger than before, and he still has excellent reaction speed.

In some ways, he can be considered a superhuman.

He could easily destroy any fake creature he could see with his fists.

Unfortunately, it can't be destroyed.

The bag was flying in the sky.

Ichigo Kurosaki reached out and grabbed the bag.

A noblewoman stepped forward.

"Thank you so much."

Be more careful next time.

Kurosaki Ichigo returned the bag to the other person and turned to walk towards the school.

He felt something was off about the other person's gaze.

Overall, I'm quite scared.

"Kurosaki-kun is as kind as ever."

Uchiha Kin caught up from behind.

"Teacher Jin, I am no longer the Grim Reaper."

Ichigo Kurosaki shook his head, also reminding the other party that he had nothing that the other party could use against him.

"The Land of Shadows is not a force that will discard you after you've served your purpose. As an advisor to the Land of Shadows, you will naturally be protected by them, even if you die."

Uchiha Kin said with a smile on his face.

"What you're describing sounds terrifying."

Kurosaki Ichigo retorted.

What does this mean? It means they won't even let him go after he's dead.

"Moreover, as long as your will is strong enough, even a seal cannot stop you."

After saying this, Jin quickly walked forward.

"Strong will?"

Kurosaki Ichigo thought of the book that Urahara Kisuke had left him.

shook his head.

This matter is no longer his concern.

In the classroom.

Ishida Uryu and his group were talking about something around Arisawa Tatsuki.

Ichigo Kurosaki opened his mouth as if to ask a question, but in the end he said nothing.

After all, he's just an ordinary person now.

I turned to look out the window.

When Tatsuki Arisawa saw Ichigo Kurosaki looking somewhat dejected, she understood his feelings better than anyone else at that moment.

"It's dangerous for Ichigo to worry about Hueco Mundo sending Arrancar into the Human World."

"Ishida Uryu spoke up."

The group nodded solemnly.

In particular, Karakura Town has recently seen not only the appearance of slopes, but also a large number of voids.

It's fair to say that things are fraught with danger right now.

Is this really a good idea?

Tayuya suddenly spoke up and asked.

He glanced at Ichigo Kurosaki, who was still lost in thought.

"After all, he's a very responsible man."

Everyone fell silent.

school.

Kurosaki Ichigo walked home as usual.

Ichigo.

Tayuya suddenly walked up to Ichigo Kurosaki.

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Tayuya with some confusion and asked, "Now that I no longer have the powers of a Shinigami, why are you still living in my house?"

At least give him back his room!! You bastard!!

"My mission is not over yet, and it has nothing to do with whether you are the Grim Reaper or not."

Tayuya shrugged.

"Recently, too many Hollows and Arrancars have appeared in Karakura Town, so we've all been quite busy."

"Huh?" Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Tayuya with a bit of confusion.

"Actually, everyone is very worried about your situation."

Tayuya gestured for the other person to look ahead.

Kurosaki Ichigo followed Tayuya's gaze with a puzzled look.

Uryu Ishida, Rukia Kuchiki, Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Chad, and Tatsuki Arisawa were all waiting for Ichigo Kurosaki ahead.

A smile bloomed on Kurosaki Ichigo's face.

Some things you really can't just give up on.

How could he only let his companions take risks?
