The infinitely extending divine spear pointed directly at the location where Hinamori Momo was.
Oh no!
Toshiro's mind went completely blank. Even with his full-power Shunpo, he couldn't save his friend. He could only watch helplessly as his childhood friend was about to have her head pierced in the next second.
"Tsk, I wasn't planning on making a move." Just then, a flippant voice suddenly rang out. At the same time, a fair hand covered in azure light seemed to emerge from the darkness and directly grasped the tip of the divine spear.
Squeak squeak squeak...
The force of the divine spear was not something that could be stopped so easily. Even though the attacker had indeed blocked the attack, he was still affected by the force and was forced to retreat dozens of meters before finally coming to a stop.
"what?"
"They actually used only one hand!"
But to the others present, this was already an incredible feat. To block a captain-level Shikai with just one hand was utterly astounding.
Most importantly, the newcomer was a complete stranger. He was dressed in a snow-white outfit, with a handsome and elegant appearance, and looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.
“It’s you, the wandering boy.” Gin Ichimaru recognized him, his expression turning serious. “I never expected to run into you here.”
“Yes, indeed.” Wuyue narrowed her eyes and smiled, “I never expected that I would see such a good show just by going out for a stroll. It’s really interesting.”
Chapter 0554 A Bizarre Mission
"Travel accident?"
"How did you end up here?"
Upon hearing their conversation, both Toshiro and Rangiku Matsumoto, the newly arrived lieutenant of the 10th Division, showed expressions of surprise and astonishment.
And more importantly, why does the Traveler's Curse possess such power? This completely overturns their understanding!
"Just taking a casual stroll?" Gin Ichimaru clearly didn't believe him. "What a coincidence."
"It is indeed a coincidence." Wuyue held the tip of the other party's knife in her right hand and chuckled, "After all, I'm not the kind of person who would stand by and watch a cute girl die if she were in danger. Hmm, you can continue to apply more force and see if I can withstand it."
That's right, Gin Ichimaru hadn't stopped his attack at this moment. Furthermore, he was continuously increasing the spiritual pressure on his Zanpakuto, seemingly intending to test his opponent's true strength.
"Damn it!" Having already sensed the other's intentions, Toshiro launched another attack on Gin Ichimaru. Of course, his intention here wasn't to rescue Mugetsu, but rather to prevent Momo Hinamori, who was behind Mugetsu, from getting hurt.
"You're quite an interesting boy." Dodging the attack, Gin Ichimaru sheathed his sword. "Your name should be Kurosaki Mugetsu, right? I'll remember you."
"Just remember?" Wuyue grinned and laughed, "I thought you would try every means to get rid of me."
"That kind of thing is not possible for now," Gin Ichimaru said bluntly. Then, quite decisively, he turned and prepared to leave.
"Is it that you can't do it, or are you afraid it will affect your plans?" At this moment, Wuyue said from behind him, "You're afraid of being scolded by that guy, aren't you?"
"That guy?"
"Who is he? Does Ichimaru have accomplices?"
Now, both Toshiro and Rangiku wore expressions of shock. They felt as if they had fallen into a huge conspiracy.
"Oh?" Even Gin Ichimaru himself looked surprised. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Born in darkness, dying in darkness, that's your ultimate goal." Wuyue didn't expose her, but said meaningfully, "But before that, you should consider whether you have the ability."
silence.
After a long pause, Gin Ichimaru finally turned around. "I take back what I just said. You're not only interesting, you're also terrifying."
"Thank you for the compliment." Wuyue shrugged.
"If I have the chance, I will seek your guidance again." Gin Ichimaru didn't waste any more words and left in a flash.
"Ah, I'll be waiting anytime." Wuyue chuckled lightly, turning to look at Toshiro and the other man. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"Wait a minute." Toshiro stopped him and said, "What exactly did you mean by your conversation with that guy just now? You seem to know the details about them?"
"I do know about that kind of thing," Wuyue shrugged and said, "However, I can't say for now. Of course, this isn't to hide it. It's for your own good. Even if I told you, would you believe me? And even if you did, it would put you in danger."
"You bastard..." Toshiro seemed very dissatisfied, frowning.
Normally, he should have drawn his sword and engaged the rogue in a duel. However, because the rogue had saved Hinamori, Toshiro was unable to launch an attack.
"Young man, what exactly do you know?" Unlike Toshiro, Rangiku, relying on her physical advantages, struck a seductive pose and asked in a different way.
“That won’t do, beautiful.” Wuyue smiled and said, “Even if you are indeed very beautiful and have a great figure, I won’t betray my principles for something like this. Besides, if I just give in like this, my old man might not forgive me.”
After all, the woman in front of him was Kurosaki Isshin's former right-hand woman. The two had a very good relationship. More importantly, this older sister figure in front of him wasn't sincere.
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Hinamori Momo. "Instead of bothering me, you should be more concerned about this little girl. Her injury..."
Make your choice, dear host.
First, use Kotoamatsukami to transfer all of Hinamori Momo's feelings for Aizen onto you.
Second, use Kotoamatsukami to transfer all of Toshiro's feelings for Hinamori Momo to you.
What the hell!
Wuyue's lips twitched violently, a murderous urge welling up within him. What the hell?! He's making him use Kotoamatsukami! Even with his chakra reserves, he can only use that once a year. Such a rare skill, and he's just going to use it so casually?
"Hinamori, what's wrong?" Toshiro was so concerned that he panicked when he heard Hinamori only say half of what he was saying.
"Ah, it's nothing." Wu Yue instantly thought of a feasible plan and pretended to ponder, "This little girl's injury is not as simple as just an external wound."
"What do you mean?"
"What exactly happened to Hinamori?"
Toshiro and the other man quickly pressed for more information.
“Mental suggestion and hypnosis,” Wuyue said in specialized technical terms. “This is terrible. If this continues, her mind might break down. Do you want to save her?” She looked intently at the two of them.
Chapter 0555 The Influence of Kotoamatsukami
Kotoamatsukami! The strongest genjutsu in the Naruto world, bar none! It's a unique ability of Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, a disciple of Mugetsu!
Of course, this is because of Mugetsu's extraordinary existence. His Mangekyou Sharingan gathers all the abilities of the existing Uchiha clan, including Kotoamatsukami.
Under the control of this eye technique, one can easily distort a person's values and even control their memories. Of course, Kotoamatsukami is not absolute or omnipotent.
Mugetsu had discovered and studied this long ago. The power of Kotoamatsukami uses spiritual power as a bridge to link the relationship between the caster and the recipient. If the latter's spiritual power is overwhelmingly stronger than the former's, Kotoamatsukami will not only fail to achieve its effect, but may even backfire.
However, this situation is unlikely to happen to Hinamori Momo. This girl, although her spiritual power level has reached the vice-captain level, her mental strength is truly underwhelming.
Without even applying mental pressure, Wu Yue merely glanced at the other person and instantly hypnotized her. Her mind, like a bird detached from the ground, soared away, never to return.
Well, she gained a little fangirl. This should have been a happy thing, but Wuyue couldn't be happy at all; her face was full of helplessness and sadness.
This wasn't just because of the murderous glare from Toshiro not far away; more importantly, this little fangirl was... too clingy!
"Lord Muzuki, Lord Muzuki, have you eaten yet? If you don't mind, I'm quite good at cooking too." Hinamori Momo looked at him intently, her face full of anticipation.
"Let's talk about this after you've recovered," Wuyue said with a sigh of relief.
"It's alright. If it's for Lady Muzuki... I have nothing to do with it!" Hinamori Momo seemed to be encouraging herself as she raised her bandaged right hand. "Besides, if it weren't for Lady Muzuki, my injuries wouldn't have healed so quickly."
"No, this really has nothing to do with me." Wuyue waved her hand and said, "Um, do you have any impression of Aizen?"
"Hmm, Captain Aizen was a good person." Hinamori Momo first gave Aizen a card, then said, "He was very kind to us subordinates. I never expected him to sacrifice himself like this. Why do we have to fight? Isn't it better for people to live in peace?"
Yes, my impression of Aizen has definitely changed. At least, I no longer have that longing that I can't live without him.
Thinking this, not only Mugetsu, but also Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku, who were not far away, breathed a slight sigh of relief. Judging from the current situation, she wouldn't be confused or conflicted about avenging Aizen, which was truly a great relief.
However, this thought only lasted a few seconds before Hinamori Momo said again, "Although Captain Aizen is a very nice man, I prefer Muzuki-sama's type. Handsome, young, and full of energy, hehehe... Muzuki-sama's palms are so warm." As she spoke, she took Muzuki's arm and rubbed her cheek with the other's palm.
"Hinamori!" Toshiro finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "How long have you known this guy?"
"Huh?" Hinamori Momo was taken aback at first, then frowned. "Hmm, come to think of it, we seem to have just met."
So that's how it is. The memory wasn't altered?
This relieved Toshiro slightly, but he then asked, "Since we haven't known each other for very long, isn't your behavior a bit strange?"
"Huh? Is that so strange, Hitsugaya?" Hinamori Momo blinked and said, "I don't think so. Even though I only just learned the name of Lord Muzuki, and this is the first time I've seen him. But, but that familiar feeling is unmistakable. Just one glance, and I can feel Lord Muzuki's warmth."
hiss.
Upon hearing this, both Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku gasped in shock. What a terrifying ability! They both knew very well that Hinamori Momo wasn't the type to be overly friendly! She certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to approach a stranger, especially a Ryouka, let alone say something like "I like Lady Muzuki!"
So, the reason for all this is also clear! It's definitely this boy!
"What...what have you done?" Toshiro frowned and asked coldly, "What is your purpose?"
"Hey, don't use that accusatory tone. I'm helpless too, okay?" Wuyue sighed and said, "I already said that it would cause some unpredictable consequences, and you all agreed, didn't you? Besides, there's nothing wrong with my treatment, is there? At least, she won't be as gloomy as before."
Toshiro paused slightly, then said casually, "But what you're doing is no different from altering her memories, isn't it? She... Hinamori, is she still herself?"
"Well, although there's a slight skew in my perception, nothing else has changed." Wuyue scratched her head and said, "Yeah. To be precise, it's an emotional transfer. It's just that she transferred her feelings for your dead captain to me, version 1.0!"
"So why you?!" Toshiro finally seized on this sore spot and shouted.
"Hmm, this kind of emotional medium is very complicated. It's only suitable for me." Wuyue said, talking nonsense with her eyes closed. "But don't worry, I would never do anything to her. That's all. Little Peach, you need to be good and take good care of your injuries. You don't need to run around."
"Lord Mugetsu, are you leaving?"
"Yes, there are many things to do. I'll come see you again after you've recovered."
"Then, it's a deal."
"Okay." The moment the words left her lips, Wuyue vanished from the spot.
Chapter 0556 Execution Day!
Two days later, at the Fourth Division barracks.
While sitting idly in the barracks, Ishida and his companions suddenly heard a shout. Immediately afterward, a deafening roar erupted. The barracks' roof was abruptly ripped open, and several figures descended from the sky.
"Kenpachi Zaraki!" Shiba Ganju exclaimed in shock upon seeing the newcomer. "You, what are you doing here? Run, run!"
"Kenpachi Zaraki? Is that the captain Ichigo defeated?" Ishida Uryu, who had already heard this from some members of the Fourth Division, asked疑惑地问道, "Why would he be here?"
"Oh, so you're that kid's companions." Kenpachi glanced around and said, "And there's a woman too."
"I'm here." Orihime's voice suddenly rang out as she slowly emerged from the shadows. "Mr. Zaraki, was it Muzuki-kun who asked you to come?" 22
"Hmph, not a request." Kenpachi smirked. "It's a deal. That guy's offering to fight me fair and square in exchange for my help. Ah, I can't wait! What kind of pleasure will my younger brother, who's even stronger than Ichigo Kurosaki, bring me?!"
"Xiaoyue is very strong, Kenpachi should be careful." Yachiru, who was lying on Kenpachi's back, suddenly spoke up.
"It's precisely because you're so strong that I'm even happier, you idiot!" Kenpachi glanced at her and said, "Enough with the nonsense, let's set off now. Sogyoku Hill is still quite a distance from here."
"Why would Mugetsu make such a deal with a captain?" Ishida Uryu asked curiously as they walked out of the Fourth Division's barracks. "And why choose this time?"
