Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy.

Kaname Tosen arrived in front of Rukia. He was hit by Ichigo Kurosaki's spiritual pressure slash and suffered some injuries, but was not seriously hurt.

"It's over. Take the sinner back." Tosen raised his hand and pointed, and a spiritual rope bound Rukia's hands.

Seeing this, Kuchiki Byakuya frowned slightly and glared at Tosen Kaname without saying a word to stop him.

"Rukia! Cough cough—"

Ichigo Kurosaki was ultimately unable to get up and could only watch helplessly as the three of them took Rukia away.

The lock and the sleep were blocked by spiritual pressure, and the condition inside his body worsened. Finally, his vision went black and he fainted.

A moment later, a white-haired young man wearing glasses came up to Ichigo Kurosaki.

The visitor was a Quincy, the son of Ishida Sogen—Ishida Ryūgen.

Ryūgen Ishida is actually very close to Ichigo Kurosaki. They are not only classmates, but also childhood friends.

Normally, Ryugen Ishida wouldn't interfere when Ichigo Kurosaki was fighting, but this time, sensing that Ichigo's enemy was very strong and that his spiritual pressure fluctuations were abnormal, he immediately rushed over.

However, the battle here ended too quickly, and he was still a step too late.

"The power of death has ultimately brought you trouble."

Ryugen Ishida frowned slightly. Kurosaki Ichigo had been using the power of a Shinigami for some time now, and as Kurosaki Ichigo's friend, he had naturally witnessed Kurosaki Ichigo's Shinigami power.

After examining Ichigo Kurosaki's spirit body, they quickly discovered the source of the chaotic spiritual pressure within his body.

"The Lock and Sleep are blocked... Damn it, if I use my spiritual pressure to break through the abnormal spiritual pressure blocking the Lock and Sleep, that abnormal spiritual pressure will probably crush the Lock and Sleep instantly."

Ryūgen Ishida felt that Ichigo Kurosaki's problem was very troublesome.

"who!"

Suddenly, Ryūgen Ishida sensed a spiritual pressure fluctuation approaching.

A spirit bow instantly materialized in his hand, which he aimed at the street corner.

"Oh, don't be nervous! I'm here to help you!"

A man wearing a striped cap stood at the street corner, his folding fan covering half his face, looking quite suspicious.

"Manager Urahara?"

Ryūgen Ishida had met this strange man before; he was Kisuke Urahara, the manager of Urahara Store.

Urahara Shop sells some strange and unusual spirit tools, some of which are quite useful. Ishida Ryuken has bought things there a few times.

“Like Ishida-san, I sensed the spiritual pressure here and came to check.” Kisuke Urahara closed his fan and raised his hand to indicate that he meant no harm. “However, your friend seems to be in a bad situation!”

"Ichigo's lock and sleep are blocked by a violent spiritual pressure. Does Manager Urahara have a way to resolve this situation?" Ryūgen Ishida asked.

"It's no big deal!"

Kisuke Urahara took a long needle from his sleeve and pierced Ichigo Kurosaki's abdomen.

A moment later, the abnormal spiritual pressure within Ichigo Kurosaki's body flowed out through the inner tube of the long needle.

"It's solved."

"Thanks to Manager Urahara being here." Ryugen Ishida breathed a sigh of relief.

“His ligaments and stamina are somewhat damaged; we need to treat them quickly. Let’s carry him back to my shop for treatment,” Kisuke Urahara suggested.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Manager Urahara!" Ryūgen Ishida carried Ichigo Kurosaki on his back and flew towards Urahara Store.

"No trouble at all, whether my wanted poster can be withdrawn depends on him..." Kisuke Urahara muttered, looking at the person next to him, "Right, Captain-Commander Shikatori!"

"Urahara-kun is joking," July said with a smile. "Your wanted poster has already been withdrawn. If you want to return to the 13th Division, you're welcome anytime!"

"The current head of the Technology Development Bureau is Mayuri Kurotsuchi, isn't he? I don't want to go back to being his deputy!" Kisuke Urahara said with a smile. "Captain-Commander-in-Chief Shikatori's strength is truly unfathomable... Mr. Ishida is already considered a master among the Quincy, and you were just standing here, yet he couldn't even detect your presence. If Captain-Commander-in-Chief Shikatori didn't want me to notice your presence, I'm afraid I'd end up like Mr. Ishida!"

July remained noncommittal and continued, "Ichigo has been under Urahara's tutelage for a while now. Although he already possesses the power of a Shinigami, he is relatively unfamiliar with the Shinigami's fighting style."

“Hmm…” Kisuke Urahara responded, but he couldn’t suppress his curiosity and pressed on, “You’re training Ichigo Kurosaki for the Three Realms Contract? But most of the Soul King’s power that was scattered in Hell more than ten years ago has already been collected by you, right? Recreating the Three Realms Contract shouldn’t be difficult, so why are you still eyeing Ichigo Kurosaki?”

Back in Soul Society, Kisuke Urahara had studied the Soul King fragments and consulted related materials, thus learning the truth about the three realms.

Kisuke Urahara also knew that the Soul King's power possessed characteristics of a Shinigami, a Quincy, and a Hollow, so he thought that Shichiru Shikatori was training Ichigo Kurosaki in order to recreate a Pact of the Three Realms.

“I’m not training Kurosaki Ichigo for the sake of the Three Realms Pact.” July shook her head gently. “The road ahead is too lonely. Having others to accompany me can also light the way forward.”

Chapter 450 Heading to Soul Society

"Where is this place?"

When Ichigo Kurosaki woke up, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar room.

With some bandages wrapped around his body, the sensations he felt told him that his injuries had mostly healed.

wow-

Kisuke Urahara, who looked somewhat unkempt, opened the door to the room, followed by Ryugen Ishida.

"Ryuken!" Kurosaki Ichigo stood up. "Did you bring me here?"

“This is Mr. Urahara’s shop. When I arrived, I saw that you were seriously injured, so I brought you to Urahara’s shop for treatment.” Ishida Ryūgen nodded slightly and asked, “How did you end up fighting with the Shinigami? Did the Shinigami discover your Shinigami powers?”

"Hmm...right, Rukia was taken away by the Shinigami!" Ichigo Kurosaki recalled the events before he fainted, his face filled with worry. "The Shinigami said Rukia would be punished...I'm the one who dragged her into this!"

“It’s amazing! I heard from Mr. Ishida that the Shinigami named Rukia actually passed on her Shinigami powers to a Quincy…” Kisuke Urahara exclaimed in amazement. “There have been cases of Shinigami giving their powers to humans in the past, but to give Shinigami powers to a Quincy… there’s not a second example of this in the history of Seireitei!”

More than a decade ago, the relationship between Shinigami and Quincy was extremely hostile, and it was simply impossible for a Quincy to obtain Shinigami powers.

"Have there been cases of humans obtaining the powers of Shinigami before?" Ichigo Kurosaki pressed. "Were the Shinigami who transferred those powers punished?"

“Shinigami who privately transfer Shinigami powers to humans will certainly be punished. Moreover…” Kisuke Urahara’s voice suddenly became much lower, “This is a serious crime in Soul Society, and they were all sentenced to death. Your Shinigami friend probably won’t escape the death penalty either.”

"That serious?!" Ichigo Kurosaki exclaimed in shock. "I have to go and find Rukia. Ryugen, do you have a way to get to Soul Society?"

Although Ichigo Kurosaki knew that the Shinigami were in Soul Society, he didn't know how to get there, so he had to ask his friend for help.

“Mr. Urahara might have a way, but the Soul Society is full of powerful figures. Even if you go to the Soul Society, you won’t be able to rescue Rukia!” Ryūgen Ishida frowned. He wasn’t optimistic about Ichigo Kurosaki’s rescue operation.

"Mr. Urahara, do you have any way to get me to Soul Society?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked, looking at the somewhat mysterious man.

“There is a way to get to Soul Society, but as Mr. Ishida said, even if Mr. Kurosaki goes to Soul Society, there’s nothing he can do.” Kisuke Urahara stared into Ichigo Kurosaki’s eyes, as if trying to see through his thoughts. “The prison where Rukia is imprisoned is heavily guarded. If you are discovered, you might even perish in Soul Society yourself.”

"Rukia is in danger, I have to go!" Ichigo Kurosaki had no intention of abandoning his comrade. The time they had spent together these past few days had made him love Rukia as his comrade, and now that Rukia was in trouble, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

"Mr. Kurosaki, your courage is commendable!" Kisuke Urahara smiled, his fan obscuring half his face. "Since you insist, I'll help you this once... According to the Seireitei's custom, judging a Shinigami requires going through layers of review. Your Shinigami friend is safe for now. Before heading to Soul Society, I can help you familiarize yourself with the Shinigami's abilities."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Urahara!" Kurosaki Ichigo did not refuse. He himself also possessed the power of a Shinigami, and if he could make better use of it, the probability of rescuing Rukia would be higher.

"Mr. Urahara is very familiar with the Grim Reaper?" Ryugen Ishida pushed up his glasses, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Although Ishida Ryūken had known Urahara Kisuke for quite some time, their relationship had always been that of customer and store manager, and he didn't know much about Urahara Kisuke's background.

“Of course, after all, I used to be a Shinigami.” Kisuke Urahara shrugged. “I’m extremely familiar with the abilities of Shinigami!”

“Back then…” Ishida Ryūgen frowned. This was the first time he had seen a non-active Shinigami. He had a vague feeling that Urahara Kisuke had probably caused quite a bit of trouble in the Soul Society in the past.

“That’s all in the past. Although I haven’t been a Grim Reaper for a long time, it’s still no problem for Mr. Kurosaki to familiarize himself with the abilities of a Grim Reaper!” Kisuke Urahara didn’t reveal anything about the past. “Let’s hurry up and come with me to the training ground.”

......

A few days later, Ichigo Kurosaki and Ryugen Ishida, fully prepared, stood before Kisuke Urahara.

"Mr. Ishida, are you also going to Soul Society?"

Kisuke Urahara was somewhat surprised that Ryūgen Ishida was also going to Soul Society with Ichigo Kurosaki.

“If we send him to Soul Society alone, he’ll probably be caught before he even finds Rukia,” Ryugen Ishida said calmly.

"Please open the severance passage, Mr. Urahara!" Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes were resolute.

He spent a few days at the training grounds in the basement of the Urahara store.

Over the past few days, Kisuke Urahara has been practicing his Zanpakuto and Kido techniques on him, which has deepened his understanding of Shinigami and increased his confidence in rescuing Rukia.

"Then I wish you good luck." Kisuke Urahara pointed his cane forward, opening a Dangai Passage. "I will take you to Rukongai, but the rest is up to you."

The three entered the severance passage and encountered no accidents along the way, successfully arriving at Soul Society.

They landed in a mountain forest with lush vegetation and a stream with many stones nearby. The babbling of the water was soothing to the soul.

However, none of them were in the mood to appreciate the scenery before them.

"Is this the Soul Society? The concentration of spiritual particles is so high." Ishida Ryugen cautiously surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings.

"Yes, I feel like my spirit body has become much lighter." Kurosaki Ichigo stretched his body and felt the difference.

The concentration of spiritual particles here is much higher than that of Karakura Town, which is a spiritually important place in the present world.

“The closer an area is to Seireitei in Soul Society, the higher its spiritual particle concentration. This area, the outer district of West Rukongai, is very close to Seireitei,” Kisuke Urahara explained briefly before continuing, “Since you’ve bought quite a few spiritual tools at the shop, I’ll tell you something else of great value.”

Ichigo Kurosaki quickly asked, "What news?"

Kisuke Urahara said, "These past few days, I've asked a familiar Shinigami about Rukia's case."

Rukia's trial is in two days, and many Shinigami captains will be present on the day of the verdict, so you'd better take Rukia away before then."

Ichigo Kurosaki and Ryūgen Ishida nodded and said, "Understood!"

"Oops!" Kisuke Urahara scratched his face. "Looks like our luck is pretty bad. It seems like you've already been discovered!"

"They found out so quickly?!" Kurosaki Ichigo was immediately shocked.

“Look over there, your trouble is here.” Kisuke Urahara had already stepped into the rift. “If you can bring Rukia out, wait for me here, and I will take you back to the human world.”

Chapter 451 Pressure

After Kisuke Urahara left, the two looked towards the end of the pebble path and saw a man with a spiky hairstyle walking towards them.

The white haori worn by the spiky-haired man was very eye-catching, which made Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Ryugen feel uneasy.

"Damn it, it looks like a Shinigami captain!" Ichigo Kurosaki felt a chill run down his spine.

The events of the past few days gave Ichigo Kurosaki a clear understanding of the Shinigami captains' strength; relying solely on their power, it would be difficult to rescue Rukia by brute force.

Therefore, before coming to Soul Society, he planned to disguise himself as a Shinigami and infiltrate Seireitei, secretly sneaking into the prison where Rukia was imprisoned. After rescuing Rukia, he would leave Soul Society with Ishida Ryūgen and Urahara Kisuke, who were waiting for him outside Seireitei.

As a result, they ran into the Shinigami captain as soon as they arrived in Soul Society, and their plan to infiltrate Seireitei is probably going to fall through.

The spiky-haired man was Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division. He sized up the two men and questioned, "What are you doing in the back mountain of the dojo?"
