Chapter 631 624. Zaraki Kenpachi: This wave of mine
"Damn it, what happened?"
Feeling this spiritual pressure that seemed to cover the entire sky, cold sweat broke out on Kurosaki Ichigo's forehead.
"Why did that guy suddenly release such spiritual pressure? Has someone arrived at Seireitei? Who is it!? Shiba? Sadatari? Or Inoue, Ishida!?"
Before he had time to come up with an answer, his body started to move. He happened to be holding Miss Yoichi's prop in his hand at the moment, so he rushed towards the entrance of the cave without thinking.
"Hey! Wait! Ichigo! What do you want to do, you idiot!?"
call--
Before Yoruichi could react, a strong storm hit from ahead.
"Fly!"
I saw Kurosaki Ichigo injecting spiritual power into the prop in his hand, and the wing membrane on it instantly expanded and spread, blowing a gust of wind and carrying his body towards the outside of the cave.
In just a few breaths, it was already too late to catch up when Ye Ye realized it.
"Asshole! Come back!"
Yoruichi looked at Kurosaki Ichigo who had already flown high into the sky and felt a headache. Is there anyone in the Seireitei that you need to save? As long as that man is here, no one will have any problems at all.
However, after much deliberation, she still had no choice but to follow him in a few instants. After all, this kid could die suddenly at any time with such serious injuries.
······
"Aqiu~"
At this time, Xuan Hao, who was on the suspension bridge leading to the Penitentiary Prison, sneezed inexplicably.
"Really, I don't know who is talking about me."
While complaining, he asked Kuchiki Byakuya in front of him, "What do you mean, brother, how about we just pretend we've never met?"
"snort."
Byakuya Kuchiki looked at the strange man he had never seen before, his expression still indifferent as ever.
The spiritual pressure of the man in front of him was not worth alerting him to. Although he didn't know what kind of method the other party used to become invisible and avoid his attack, such a method could only be used once.
"I noticed abnormal fluctuations in the spiritual pressure sensing range. I thought it was some master who could insert it here quietly... It's really disappointing. It turns out it's just a little shrimp."
"Ah, yes, yes."
‘Shiba Iwajiu’ was so stunned that he didn’t care at all about the other party’s ridicule, “So can I leave?”
"Boring. My knife is not used to kill little guys like you. Disappear immediately."
With that said, Kuchiki Byakuya planned to put away his sword and ignore this guy, but halfway through the action, he realized that something seemed wrong.
Quiet.
It's too quiet.
Rukia's behavior at the moment in the fourth deep prison was too abnormal.
Since this person appears here, it is obvious that he is here for Lucia, but now when this person faces him, Lucia is not nervous at all?
Something is wrong.
What kind of ability does this person have that can make Lucia feel so reassured?
It seems inevitable if the other party really has the ability to save Rukia...
Maybe worth a try.
Thinking of this, Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes narrowed slightly and he stopped sheathing his sword.
"What? Are you regretting it?" Xuan Hao, who was just about to leave, raised his eyebrows when he saw the other party stop sheathing the knife, and asked helplessly.
"Name? Purpose?"
Kuchiki Byakuya did not answer the question of the person in front of him, but slowly raised the Zanpakutō in his hand and asked calmly.
"Shiba Ganjiu, the purpose... is probably to save the person behind you."
Xuan Hao scratched his head and answered helplessly.
"Oh? It turns out he's from the Shiba family..."
Kuchiki Byakuya nodded slowly, "Then I feel sorry for looking down on you so much just now, but what I'm curious about is... why did you come but didn't leave with anyone?"
"Because it's not yet time..."
Xuan Hao slightly shrugged, "Rescuing her now is a prison robbery. Do you understand prison robbery? Do you want her to be charged with absconding in fear of crime? Of course, you should wait for the right time to figure out everything and come out with a clear conscience.
Okay?"
"So... you seem to know a lot of inside information?" Byakuya Kuchiki's expression changed slightly, "It seems that I can't let you leave here today."
The wind seemed to be blowing slightly as he spoke, and countless cherry-colored petals were floating gently in the wind.
If you observe carefully, you will find that this is not wind, but surging spiritual pressure, and what is suspended in the air is not flower petals, but deadly sharp blades.
"Let's scatter, Senbonzakura."
Unknowingly, only the hilt of the Zanpakuto in Kuchiki Byakuya's hand was left, and the surrounding area was Senbonzakura's domain.
"Why...this captain...does it mean that he wants me to stay and discuss it with you?"
Looking at the flying flowers all over the sky, an embarrassed smile appeared on the face of 'Shiba Iwajiu', "Ah, even the Zanpakutō has been released, it's so scary -"
puff--
The next moment, the sky was filled with blood.
Countless fine scars appeared all over the body of 'Shiba Iwajiu', and the embarrassed smile on his face instantly solidified, and then his body fell to the ground weakly.
"..."
Seeing the man in front of him fall down like this, Kuchiki Byakuya frowned slightly.
what happened?
That's it?
Something is wrong.
But...I can't feel what is wrong.
It is impossible for Lucia in the cell behind her not to notice the situation here, but until now, Lucia still has not responded.
In Kuchiki Byakuya's view, since the child was so calm, it was impossible for the man in front of him to be killed by him like this.
But just now he really felt that he had been hit.
After once again confirming that the person lying on the ground was not an illusion, Kuchiki Byakuya frowned and raised the hilt of the knife in his hand again, trying to test it again.
But just when he was about to move, he felt his wrist being grabbed.
"?"
Kuchiki Byakuya frowned slightly and turned back.
Captain Ukitake Jushiro of the 13th Division is here.
Now that outsiders are here, it seems that the testing can only end here.
"Ouch, tsk tsk."
Jutsuro Ukitake, who didn't know when he came here, looked at the figure lying in a pool of blood with cold sweat on his forehead, "This is really miserable... You have to be merciful, Captain Kuchiki, why don't you forget it?"
"snort."
When he found Kuchiki Byakuya at the foot of the steps, he snorted softly. The spiritual pressure on his body gradually calmed down, and the liberated Zanpakutō returned to its original state.
He slowly retracted his Zanpakutō, looked at the man in front of him, and asked in a calm tone: "What exactly do you want to do, Ukitake."
"Hey, is this a question I should ask?" Ukitake Jushiro was a little embarrassed, "Isn't it a first-level prohibition to use a Zanpakutō in front of the Confession Palace? Although you are here to clear up travel troubles, there are still some
That’s too much! What on earth do you want to do?”
"This is a special wartime order. Level 1 permits the release of the Zanpakutō." Byakuya Kuchiki replied calmly, "It's normal for you to not know about it while you are on vacation."
"What!?" Jushiro Ukitake frowned, "Special order during wartime? Is the invasion of the travel disaster serious enough? Could it be that Aizen was killed because of this...but..."
He looked at the travel disaster that was easily fucked by Byakuya Kuchiki and was lying on the ground, and thought to himself, it doesn't seem to be that serious?
Just when Jushiro Ukitake was wondering, suddenly a terrifying spiritual pressure came from below.
"!?"
"This is how the same thing!?"
Ukitake Jushiro looked at Kuchiki Byakuya aside with confusion, but Kuchiki Byakuya's expression still didn't change much.
"This level of spiritual pressure...is at least captain level!"
Sweat covered Jushiro Ukitake's forehead.
It was obviously a captain-level spiritual pressure, but it was very unfamiliar. It was obvious that it could not be any of the captains he knew.
Then there is no doubt that it can only be a travel accident.
"Could it be that...Aizen's death really has something to do with these guys? Where did such a powerful guy come from?"
call--
A gust of wind roared, and a dark figure soared up from below. Ukitake Jushiro and Kuchiki Byakuya looked up one after another, and then a figure fell steadily between the two of them and the 'Shiba Iwajiu' who fell on the ground, with a pale face.
expression.
The wing membranes slowly folded up, and Kurosaki Ichigo lowered his figure, looking down at the 'Shiba Iwa Falcon' lying on the ground with an expressionless expression.
He could feel that this guy was not dead yet, but his breath was extremely weak.
"Sorry... I'm late."
Xuanhao, who fell to the ground, felt mmm in his heart, it's too late, why don't you come and join in the fun. Seeing Jushiro Ukitake appear, even if it ends like this, someone should come and carry him to the fourth team soon.
The prison next to me is my territory, so I shouldn’t treat you well. If you do this, I will have to lie down for a while. Acting will be very tiring, okay!?
However, of course Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't hear the voice of the guy who fell to the ground. He only felt a burst of anger.
Although they are not very familiar with this guy named 'Shiba Iwajiu', he is the younger brother of Shiba Kūkaku who helped them come in. They promised to take good care of this guy before they came here. What should they do now? Let him do it.
Lying on the ground, he was still the most unhappy guy!
"Kuchiki Byakuya, I will defeat you!"
Suddenly looking at the indifferent man in front of him, Kurosaki Ichigo stood up slowly, stretched out his hand to touch the Zanpakutō behind him, and his spiritual pressure surged.
"Wait... Byakuya... who is this person?"
Jutsuro Ukitake on the side looked at the injured young man in front of him. For some reason, a familiar shadow was reflected in his eyes. He always felt that this young man seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember why there was such a thing.
Familiar feeling.
"none of your business."
Byakuya Kuchiki answered calmly and stepped forward slowly, "He is nothing, just a travel accident. At most... I just met him once. Don't worry, I will deal with him, that's all."
For a guy of this caliber, it's better to just lie down...
He could clearly feel that the young man in front of him had indeed made great progress compared to when he was in this world. He already had captain-level spiritual pressure. No wonder Abarai would lose to him...
But even this is still too weak.
Even if they are both captain-level spiritual pressure, the difference is huge.
How can a guy like this who tried his best and was seriously injured only have hope of saving Rukia?
"..."
Ukitake Jushiro looked silently at the two people who were approaching slowly, not knowing what to do for a moment.
In fact, logically, he should help his colleague Byakuya Kuchiki, but this guy said that he can handle it by himself, and the most important thing is...
In the cell in the distance, the originally silent Lucia finally had a moved expression. She grabbed the cell door and looked over, as if begging him not to do anything to the boy.
This boy must be the human who caused Rukia to lose her power, right? Unexpectedly, he risked his life and came here to save Rukia.
He didn't know what exactly happened between Lucia and this human boy, but he faced the expectant eyes of his team members.
"Oh...it's better to pretend you haven't seen it."
While sighing, Ukitake Jushiro turned away his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, I'm still on vacation. You can continue without worrying about me."
However, the other two people didn't seem to care about his opinion at all, they only had eyes for each other.
"Tsk, you are still as annoying as ever..."
Kurosaki Ichigo stroked the handle of the knife behind his back with an unhappy expression on his face, "It seems you don't take me seriously at all?"
"Are you talking to me?"
Byakuya Kuchiki's expression remained as usual, and he slowly walked towards Kurosaki Ichigo. He even drew his Zanpakutō when facing the seemingly weak 'Shiba Iwajig' just now, but now he did not when facing Kurosaki Ichigo.
"Do you think... a guy like you is qualified to take me seriously? Don't be too arrogant, kid."
What Jutsuro Ukitake could see, of course Byakuya Kuchiki also saw it.
Lucia panicked.
Although he also thought it was strange.
She obviously didn't panic at this girl who was lying on the ground and looked pitifully weak, so why did she panic when it was this kid with captain-level spiritual pressure on his body?
Is it just because of the close relationship or...
Well, no matter how you think about it, it makes him very unhappy.
The spiritual pressure suddenly emerged on Kuchiki Byakuya again, and in just an instant, the huge spiritual pressure on Kurosaki Ichigo was completely suppressed.
"..."
Feeling such spiritual pressure, Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but sweat broke out on his forehead.
Although they are both captains, why is there such a big gap?
He could clearly feel that Byakuya Kuchiki at this moment was even more terrifying than Kenpachi Zaraki before.
(Kenpachi Zaraki: I was carrying the pot, but I accidentally overfilled the pot, and it actually caused this kid to swell up.)
"snort."
Seeing that Kurosaki Ichigo could withstand his own spiritual pressure, Kuchiki Byakuya snorted coldly, "Can you still stand under such spiritual pressure? It seems that you have indeed improved a lot than before... But it doesn't matter, to me
It's still the same as before, there won't be any difference. Speaking of which...how did you regain the power of the God of Death? And why do you have to come here? In fact, you can stay in this world and live your stable life, okay?
It’s easy to save a life, but to come all the way to die... How stupid.”
"Death? Are you kidding me?"
A brave smile appeared on Kurosaki Ichigo's face, "I didn't come here to die. I will naturally go back after I defeat you and rescue my companions."
"Have you not recognized the reality yet?"
Kuchiki Byakuya's voice gradually turned cold, "I told you... I told you not to be too arrogant..."
call--
As he spoke, Kurosaki Ichigo lost sight of the target.
"I warned you, kid."
A cold voice came from behind.
"Gone!? Shunpo!"
Kurosaki Ichigo reacted quickly and subconsciously moved his Zanpakutō blade to block.
clang--
The crisp chirping of iron weapons sounded, as Zangetsu and Senbonzakura touched each other.
The two figures that were almost touching each other were once again separated by the collision.
"Heh, it looks like...it's not that bad! I can see your movements clearly! Byakuya Kuchiki!"
Looking at Kuchiki Byakuya being blocked, Kurosaki Ichigo grinned.
"That's it..."
Kuchiki Byakuya responded calmly, with an expression on his face, "It seems that I do underestimate you a little bit. Well... before you become intoxicated with your own abilities, I will let you have a good experience... No matter how hard it is for you,
There is something that even a thousand years of practice cannot make up for—the decisive strength gap between us."
"No, run! Ichigo!"
Feeling the spiritual power fluctuations in her brother's body, Kuchiki Rukia shouted.
She knew that her brother was going to take serious action.
"Quick! Save him!"
save him?
Who saves him?
This is the same doubt that Ukitake Jushiro and Kuchiki Byakuya have in mind.
Jushiro Ukitake knew very well that these words could not be directed at him, because from his own position, standing idly by now would be considered dereliction of duty, and it would be impossible to save this travel disaster.
And Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes also became dangerous.
He gently glanced at the fallen figure on the ground, tightened his grip on the knife slightly, and decided not to show mercy.
Come...let me see what you are hiding.
While thinking about it, he raised the Zanpakutō in his hand towards Kurosaki Ichigo in front of him and chanted the liberation language.
"Let's scatter——"
call--
Before he finished chanting the liberation language, Kuchiki Byakuya was stunned.
Because the Zanpakuto blade in his hand was suddenly covered with bandages, the tight bandage made of special material made it impossible to separate the blade in his hand, and the liberation naturally ended.
Although he can forcibly break through such a blockade, the important thing is not the method of blocking himself, but the sudden appearance of the figure.
"Who are you……"
He suddenly turned his head to look at the end of the bandage, and saw a slender figure turning slowly towards him and Ukitake Jushiro.
"That is……"
Ukitake Jushiro also looked at this woman who suddenly appeared in surprise.
"Yorichi!"
"I see……"
Kuchiki Byakuya sighed.
I seem to be thinking too much.
Rukia's behavior towards her attack on the two people was completely different. Maybe it was just a simple differential treatment. Thinking about it carefully, this human boy came from this world, and the one who fell on the ground looked like he was from Rukongai.
A refugee, that is to say, they didn't know this human boy before he came to Soul Society, and Rukia naturally didn't know him either.
The most important thing is...this person's surname is Shiba. The Shiba family should hate Rukia to the core. I am afraid that this time he is not really here to save people, but to take pleasure in others' misfortune?
And the person Lucia called just now was probably not the guy who fell on the ground, but the woman in front of him at this moment.
"The former commander-in-chief of the secret machine...and the commander-in-chief of the first unit of Pain's "Xing Army"—Sifengyuan Yoruichi."
