Chapter 617 610. Do you make no sound when you walk?
The violent spiritual power converged on the Zanpakutō held by Kurosaki Ichigo almost instantly.
The next moment, Abarai Renji seemed to see the moon.
"Click——"
The crisp cracking sound made Renji Abarai's pupils shrink suddenly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The Shebiwan was broken into pieces.
It was clear that he had the upper hand in the battle before this moment, but now the Shebimaru he was so proud of was shattered to pieces by the sudden burst of power from Kurosaki Ichigo.
Not only that, this roaring slash still did not stop, a sharp pain came from the chest, and then blood suddenly appeared.
"I lost?"
Renji Abarai felt that the power in his body was flowing away along with the blood, and he was a little confused for a moment.
"Damn it...what happened just now?"
He couldn't understand why Kurosaki Ichigo could suddenly burst out with such powerful power, it was like cheating...
tread--
Renji Abarai slammed his feet on the ground to steady his body.
"Ha ha……"
Heavy breathing came from the two people's mouths.
It can be seen that Kurosaki Ichigo on the opposite side seems to have exhausted all his strength due to the sword just now.
Both of them seemed to be exhausted and were holding on with willpower.
"Damn it, ahhhhhh-"
Renji Abarai roared in his heart, it seemed that he could do nothing else at this moment.
He couldn't move his feet, and the hand holding the knife no longer had the strength to lift the blade, and it was broken when he lifted it.
At this moment, he seemed to understand that if Lucia could really be saved, it would definitely not be through his own strength.
Reluctance and anger suddenly surged into my heart.
But this was not directed at Kurosaki Ichigo in front of him.
He just doesn't want to be angry at his own weakness.
He was the one who obviously wanted to save Lucia the most, but he couldn't do anything.
Just like when he chased Lucia's back and became the god of death, he seemed to have caught up with her, but he was so close but he didn't have the courage to step forward again and stand side by side with her like he did when he was a child.
Lucia already has her own family and cannot be disturbed.
But is this really the reason?
He should obviously know best that Lucia is not the kind of person who would alienate herself because of her identity and status.
"Now that I think about it... maybe it's because I feel inferior..."
Renji Abarai murmured and moved his steps, blood dripping continuously on the ground, staining a large area of the floor red.
"Really."
As if he had figured something out, he suddenly smiled, "The character of a wild dog has been deeply rooted in my bones... I hate myself... I can only howl at the stars, but have no courage to jump up and catch them.
…”
"What are you...saying?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly stunned.
He was a little horrified when he saw Renji Abarai coming towards him with all his strength. He showed no mercy at all with that stab blow just now. It was a miracle that this guy was still standing now.
What exactly supports it?
At this moment, he seemed to understand that he was not the only one with firm beliefs.
Suddenly, Kurosaki Ichigo felt someone grabbed his collar.
It's Renji Abarai.
This guy didn't know where the strength came from, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed him.
He could feel that there was no strength left in this hand, and he could not even lift himself up, but for some reason, he always felt that the man in front of him was more determined than when he cut him just now.
"I...until the end...never defeated Captain Kuchiki even once."
Abarai Renji lowered his head, and his expression could not be clearly seen due to his long and messy hair, "Even if I exercise hard every day, I still can't do it... She is too far away from me, and I am not qualified to save her at all..."
...It is impossible to save Rukia with my own strength! Kurosaki Ichigo... I know this is embarrassing, but I still have to get rid of you! Please, you must...save Rukia!"
"..."
Ichigo Kurosaki listened silently to Renji Abarai's confession.
He was slightly stunned.
Good guy... turns out to be a comrade?
Why are these guys so different from each other?
So why do we have to fight to the death when we have the same goal? Isn’t this a waste of energy?
"idiot!"
Annoyed, Ichigo Kurosaki turned around and picked up Renji Abarai's collar.
Although he didn't like this guy very much, now he could see that this guy really wanted to save Rukia.
It is really embarrassing for a man to be a loser and plead with his opponent, let alone such a guy who looks so arrogant.
"Really... If you have that kind of strength, why don't you come with me and try to save people? Give up before you even try!? Of course you can't..."
"Huh...huh..."
Renji Abarai wanted to refute, but found that he had no strength to speak anymore.
His consciousness became more and more blurred, and finally he weakly let go of Kurosaki Ichigo's hand and fell to the ground.
On the other side, Kurosaki Ichigo was not much different. He wanted to continue scolding the idiot in front of him, but he also fell to the ground due to lack of physical strength.
"Mr. Kurosaki!"
Hanatarō Yamada, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw Ichigo Kurosaki, who had "died" with Renji Abarai, running over in panic.
He checked the injuries of the two men and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
None of them died.
But this was enough to surprise him.
I didn't expect it to actually happen.
He knew that Kurosaki Ichigo was injured when he met him, and he had defeated so many shinigami that surrounded him. But in this state, he actually defeated Deputy Abarai who was in full form.
team leader!?
"In this case... maybe there is hope!"
Da da da--
There was the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance, and they seemed to be heading here. They must be the Shinigami who have sensed the spiritual pressure here.
Upon seeing this, Yamada Hanataro quickly lifted up the floor and dragged Kurosaki Ichigo's body back into the sewer.
······
"That is……"
"Hey, hey, hey! Did I read that right?"
Shortly after Hanataro Yamada left with Ichigo Kurosaki, Izuru Kira, who was looking for Renji Abarai, came with his subordinates in pursuit of the familiar reiatsu.
When he saw Renji Abarai lying in a pool of blood, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead.
"Who are those travelers? Even Deputy Captain Abarai..."
"Okay, stop arguing, call the medical team! No! Take him directly to the Fourth Squadron for treatment! Ask for Captain Unohana!" Kira Izuru frowned with an anxious look on his face.
Just as the team members were arguing, the situation seems to be getting more and more wrong. If only the team members were defeated, it would be okay, but now even Renji Abarai, who is the vice-captain, is lying here in such a mess.
, this problem is huge. There is a huge gap in strength between ordinary team members and people at the deputy captain level. If even the deputy captains are not opponents of these travel disasters, then there is no need to send more ordinary team members, and the gaffes will rise again.
, the next step may be a problem that only the captains can solve...
Are you kidding me? An incident like this that requires the captains to personally resolve has not happened in Soul Society for how many years?
······
"how so……"
After Kira Izuru had Renji Abarai carried on a stretcher to the Fourth Division, Hinamori Momo also came after hearing the news.
She looked at Abarai Renji who was covered in blood and unconscious and covered her mouth.
"Sorry, when we found him, he was already like this..." Kira Izuru clenched his fists and said guiltily, "If I could have arrived at the scene earlier, maybe this wouldn't be the case."
"No...I can't blame you..."
Hinamori Tao shook her head slightly when she heard this. She had always had a very bad premonition from before, but she didn't expect it to actually become a reality.
"Anyway... hurry up and ask the higher-level rescue team to treat him. It's best to find Captain Unohana. He's seriously injured..."
"Well, I've already..."
"No, that's not necessary."
Just when Kira Izuru wanted to say that he had sent someone to inform Captain Unohana, such an indifferent voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Throw him into the cell."
Kuchiki Byakuya didn't know when he appeared, standing behind the two of them and looking indifferently at Renji Abarai who fell to the ground.
"Kuch...Captain Kuchiki!?"
The two men suddenly turned their heads and looked at the captain in disbelief.
"Why...why?"
Hinamori Momo bit her lip slightly and clasped her hands, which was hard to understand, "Abarai faced the travel disaster alone...but you..."
"I don't want to hear any explanation."
The expression on Kuchiki Byakuya's face was still extremely cold, "Since he has chosen to fight alone without authorization, he must not fail. What is the use of a guy who can't even figure out such a thing? He is really an eyesore. Take him away."
After leaving the words indifferently, Kuchiki Byakuya turned around and prepared to leave.
"You...please wait a moment!"
Hinamori Momo was a little angry. Even if the other party was the captain, it was too much to say that.
"Abarai, he... is aware of it! What do you think of this..."
"That's enough, Hinamori..."
Kira Izuru quickly held down Hinamori Momo.
"Can……"
Hinamori Momo also reacted suddenly.
It seems that what I say cannot change the status quo...
Yes, the reason why Abarai took off his adjutant epaulette before leaving the team was that he was already ready to accept punishment. No one can excuse him... The best way is to deal with it according to the law like Captain Kuchiki is doing now.
Can reduce guilt.
"I am sorry!"
Kira Izuru seemed to have understood the situation clearly, and bowed at ninety degrees to apologize to Byakuya Kuchiki as he left.
"Explosion...I'm sorry...I was too excited just now..."
Hinamori Momo also felt very guilty.
But Kuchiki Byakuya left silently without even looking back.
This made her wonder whether this indifferent captain had really considered these issues.
"Wow~ It's really scary."
Suddenly, such a teasing voice came from beside me.
"!?"
The two of them turned their heads and looked around. At some point, another captain leaned against the wall and looked at them with interest.
"Captain Ichimaru!"
"It's really like what he would say. The captain of the 6th division is still so business-like. It's really scary. Well~ After all, he is a man who doesn't even care about his own sister~" Ichimaru Gin chuckled and waved to his adjutant.
Kira Izuru waved, "But you don't have to worry too much. I will help you call the fourth team to go directly to the prison to treat Abarai. Let's go, Izuru."
With that said, he also headed in the direction where Kuchiki Byakuya left.
"yes!"
Seeing his captain coming, Kira Izuru didn't dare to say anything, nodded and followed immediately.
"Then it's up to you!"
Hinamori Momo bowed and thanked Gin Ichimaru as he left.
"Okay, you should quickly ask someone to take him to prison."
Ichimaru Gin waved and smiled and led the people away.
"..."
After seeing off the two captains, Hinamori Momo waited for the ambulance crew to come and lift the person, while looking at Renji Abarai who fell on the ground with some disappointment.
However, the rules of the Soul Society are indeed a bit too rotten. The judgments of the Central Room 46 are almost never humane. But even so, in her opinion, the captain of the Sixth Division is indeed too cold.
Already.
She also knows Rukia Kuchiki. She heard that Rukia was adopted by the Kuchiki family, but over the years...is it true that she has no feelings at all?
It's the same now. He was obviously the adjutant following that person, but he was so seriously injured and his attitude was so indifferent. It's really...
"Wow~ How did Abarai end up in such a miserable state?"
Just when Hinamori Momo was complaining in her heart, another exclamation suddenly came from behind her.
I saw a figure who looked half a head shorter than Hinamori Momo, leaning against her back as if nothing had happened. He lowered his head and looked down at Renji Abarai, who was lying on the ground, and sighed softly.
"Wow!"
Hinamori Momo was startled by the touch from behind and almost burst into tears.
She turned around and looked at her familiar figure, complaining angrily, "Hi...Hisugaya! Do you guys who are captains walk without making any sound?"
"Hey! I'm already the captain! I'm one level higher than you! Isn't it inappropriate for you to call me that?"
Hitsugaya curled his lips as if joking.
His childhood sweetheart seemed to always treat him as a 'younger brother' who needed to be taken care of no matter what happened to him, even if he was now the captain, he still did.
Who is it that clearly needs someone to take care of him?
An idiot.
What a headache...
"Stop coming, it's true! I'm scared to death!"
Hinamori Momo complained in a low voice, "But... by the way! Why are you here, Hitsugaya? You still... haven't brought your adjutant..."
She looked around and realized there was no one else around her, and realized something was wrong.
Even Abarai was defeated. The captain should bring his adjutant with him during such a vigilance... Captain Ichimaru came to see Izuru just now.
Well... After thinking about it, she felt that she was not qualified to say this. After all, her captain was still missing...
"snort."
Hitsugaya Toshiro curled his lips angrily, "I came here specifically to give you a piece of advice..."
"What?" Hinamori Momo was a little confused.
"You have to be careful about Division Three."
As he spoke, Hitsugaya Toshiro looked at the direction Ichimaru Gin left and frowned slightly.
Hinamori Momo was even more puzzled: "Ah? What happened to the Third Division and the others? Kira just helped find Abarai..."
"I'm referring to their captain Gin Ichimaru...but it would be better if you also watch out for Kira..."
With that said, Hitsugaya Toshiro turned his head and looked at his childhood sweetheart in front of him with a serious look and said, "I'm not kidding you! Anyway, just be careful, there is no harm in it! Do you understand?"
In fact, not only Ichimaru Gin, he also wanted to warn Hinamori Momo to be careful about Aizen, because he had felt that something was wrong with both of them from before.
But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it... with how much this stupid woman trusted Aizen, it would be useless even if he reminded her.
