Shirou's clones number 30 million

Naturally, she felt the same way.

"Where is Mr. Kubo planning to go today?"

"Let's go eat first. What would you like to eat? Sushi or barbecue?"

"It's just breakfast, can't we just grab something quick and easy?"

"That won't do. I'm not short of money now, so it's only natural that I should eat expensive food."

Kurosaki Ichigo was speechless. Wasn't this a typical nouveau riche mentality?

"Expensive food doesn't necessarily mean it tastes good, does it?"

"That's true, but if it's expensive but you don't have to pay for it yourself, then it's naturally the most delicious thing."

"What does Mr. Kubo mean by this? Could it be that you got another coupon?"

"Yeah, sigh... I've won so many coupons, I can't possibly use them all, it's so annoying."

So annoying!

Kurosaki Ichigo glared at him fiercely, feeling as if the person in front of him had been possessed by a demon.

At this moment, Rukia Kuchiki suddenly interjected:

"Mr. Kubo, to be honest, we only know that your surname is Kubo, but we never knew your full name?"

"My full name? Just call me Kubo Aizen." Kubo was clearly taken aback for a moment, but then said nonchalantly.

"Is this a pen name? What's your real name?"

"Your real name is Kubo? Actually, there's something I've always wanted to tell you guys, but I didn't know whether I should say it or not."

"Please go on, Mr. Kubo."

As she spoke, Rukia Kuchiki kept glancing at Kubo.

"Hey... Although you two are full of enthusiasm, becoming a comic artist requires talent. Without that talent, no matter how hard you try, it's useless. And you two actually have absolutely no talent."

"Is that so? We actually know that, but we always have to try our best to know the result, right?"

I feel like this person has become a bit strange. What could be the reason?

Ichigo and I both took extended leave and kept a close eye on him around the clock. It's impossible for him to be replaced without our knowledge.

But her personality did become very strange, as if she had become a completely different person.

Honestly, can a person's personality change so much in such a short period of time?

"Kubo-sensei, when will the Quincy side story end?"

According to Captain Aizen, Kubo's bodyguard job will continue until the Quincy side story ends.

Therefore, no matter what his personality changes into, as long as the side story ends, he and Ichigo will be able to escape their suffering.

Then, we can stop worrying about him.

No matter what he becomes, it has nothing to do with the two of them.

"It'll be ready soon. I'll urge the editorial department to see if we can publish the extra chapters as a standalone book."

"The popularity is already sufficient, and the original manuscript for the side stories is also complete. If a single volume is released, the sales should not be too bad."

Chapter 368 Stop! I'll go with you.

Chapter 368 (Section 369): Stop! I'll go with you.

As evening fell and the sun set, Kubo returned to his small room.

He locked the door from the inside, skillfully lifted the tatami mat, revealing a downward staircase.

After going down the stairs, you soon arrive at a spacious place.

Here, another Kubo is hunched over his desk, writing furiously.

Upon hearing footsteps, he immediately looked up, his face showing excitement.

"Aizen-san! You're back. How's it outside? Is it safe now?"

"It'll be soon, in about another week, it should be done."

As they were talking, "Kubo" who walked in from outside the door transformed into Aizen's appearance.

That's right, Kubo, who has been spending time with Ichigo and the others these past few days, is actually Aizen in disguise.

Although it aroused their suspicion, since this world doesn't have the transformation technique that everyone in the Naruto world knows, they had suspicions but couldn't produce any evidence.

Moreover, the transformation technique Aizen used was a modified version of his own, which wouldn't be easily detected even in the Naruto world.

"Mr. Aizen, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I might already be dead somewhere."

"You're welcome. As your partner, this is what I should do."

Initially, Kubo was extremely opposed to this plan.

Because he felt he couldn't implicate Aizen.

However, given the illusion of beauty and reality, one can only obediently cooperate.

"Mr. Aizen, I've discovered that the Quincy side story has a lot of interaction with the main story, so I plan to expand it and turn it into a long story."

"In this way, the mutual feedback of popularity might even boost the popularity of 'Bleach' to a new level."

"Tell me in detail." Aizen instinctively wanted to object, but after a moment's hesitation, he decided to give him a chance.

"Okay. The plot will remain largely the same, but the content will be greatly expanded, with the battle between the Shinigami and the Quincy a thousand years ago as the main storyline."

How long will this series last?

"The plan is for over 200 chapters, which will take at least three or four years, right?"

"No, let's stick to the original plan, just ten episodes."

If you wait until three or four years later, the daylily will be too late.

Moreover, while it's nice to live a life where you can spend other people's money with a clear conscience, it's hard to maintain that lifestyle for long.

Although the basement has a bathroom, a shower room, and a refrigerator for storing food, it is never exposed to sunlight, and Aizen doesn't think Kubo can last that long.

This is not only tormenting others, but also tormenting himself.

"I've already discussed it with the editors, and the side story volume will be released in the next few days, completing the story all at once. After that, you can focus on drawing the main story."

"Huh...? How come it's so fast? Mr. Aizen, you didn't submit my first draft, did you? There are still so many parts that need to be revised."

"The editors have already reviewed and approved it; no changes are needed."

"Mr. Aizen, you don't know, you can't really trust the editor's judgment either. An editor's advice is actually not as good as that of an ordinary reader. Moreover, when many editors make suggestions, they always bring some subjective emotions into it, and there are actually quite a few manga in the industry that have been canceled because of this."

"Well... it's just a regular side story, no need to overthink it. Often, after revising it over and over again, you'll find that the first version is actually the most useful."

"What Mr. Aizen said makes sense; the first edition is often the most memorable, but..."

Suddenly, a loud bang came from above, followed by various explosions.

"They're here!"

Aizen's heart stirred, and he instantly transformed back into Kubo's appearance.

"Mr. Aizen, are you going up? It must be very dangerous to go now, right?" Kubo asked nervously.

"Don't worry, this is my job."

"Huh...? Come to think of it, I haven't asked you yet, what is Aizen-san's main job...?"

"They're like police officers, but their scope of management is a bit different."

"I see. I wish you continued success in your military campaigns!"

"Don't mention it, I'll be right back. By the way, to avoid my mission failing, wait until I get back before you go out. The food in the fridge should last a few more days."

"Yes! I will absolutely not cause any trouble for Mr. Aizen."

Watching Aizen leave, Kubo suddenly slapped himself, thinking to himself:

Just a few days ago, I even suspected that Mr. Aizen just wanted to imprison me here and turn me into his money-making machine. That kind of thinking is disgusting. Please come back safely, Mr. Aizen.

......

Where is Kubo?

At this moment, all the manga assistants stood in the middle of the living room, surrounded by more than a dozen Quincy.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki didn't have time to leave their bodies and become Shinigami, so they could only blend in with the assistants.

"Who are you? Quincy?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked, trying to gather information while winking at Rukia, signaling her to quickly become a Shinigami.

"I know you, Kurosaki Ichigo, the male protagonist of the manga, a Shinigami."

The blond man at the head of the group paused for a moment, then said coldly:

"I am Yukram Haschwald, the highest-ranking Sternritter and advisor to the Emperor of the Wandenreich. I have come to take away the manga artist Aizen Kubo on His Majesty's orders."

"What Wandenreich? Never even heard of it." The next moment, Ichigo Kurosaki suddenly realized, "I remember now, your Emperor wouldn't happen to be Yhwach, who has been hiding for a thousand years, would he?"

As an assistant, Ichigo Kurosaki had naturally read the original manuscript of the Quincy side story.

"His Majesty instructed me before I came that now is not the time to wage war against death, but since you have provoked me, I have no choice but to—annihilate you all in the process."

"Such a boastful tone! If you can do it, then give it a try!"

As he spoke, Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't help but look at Rukia Kuchiki and said urgently:

"Rukia, why isn't it ready yet?"

"I...I can't move."

"what?"

Kurosaki Ichigo stared at her in astonishment, a sense of despair rising within him.

Finished!

Surrounded by so many fully armed Quincy, he still couldn't detach himself from his body and become a Grim Reaper.

Just a human being, even though he's a decent fighter, how can he fight against this group of Quincy? With his fists?
