Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Immediately afterwards, a pair of eerie, large hands emerged from the dark space, and a monster with a jet-black body, a long white nose, and a bone mask, completely unlike any other Hollow, appeared before Uryu and Ichigo.

"Roar!!"

When the enormous Hollow appeared in the sky, the ordinary Hollows that had been roaring suddenly trembled in fear. They seemed to feel an instinctive fear, for the newly appeared Hollow was fundamentally different from them.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

"How could my bait possibly summon such a being?!"

Yulong looked up at the sky, his eyes flashing with despair and confusion.

"This is a Hollow?! A Hollow actually appears in the 'real world'?!"

Rukia Kuchiki also felt despair at the enormous shadow in the sky.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, run! This is not something we can handle..."

Rukia tried to persuade Ichigo Kurosaki.

"Huh? Run away? I don't want to..."

After hearing Rukia's words, Ichigo Kurosaki gently stretched his neck and then strode towards the Gillian-level Hollow.

"Ichigo..."

Seeing that Ichigo Kurosaki was stubborn and wouldn't give up until he hit a brick wall, Rukia panicked. She ran towards Ichigo, intending to bring him back and then escape.

"Yo, Ms. Kuchiki, it's been a long time~"

However, before Rukia could move forward, a man wearing a green fisherman's hat, a dark blue kimono, a cane, and wooden clogs descended from the sky and blocked Rukia's way.

"Urahara Kisuke? Get out of my way and don't get in my way!"

Rukia's expression changed upon seeing the newcomer, and she spoke angrily.

"I'm sorry, Rukia, please stay here and watch quietly from now on!"

"The battle that follows belongs to Ichigo Kurosaki alone. It's a fate he can't escape, and he must strive to become stronger..."

After hearing what Rukia said, Kisuke Urahara's eyes, which were hidden under his hat, flashed with a sharp light. He pointed at Rukia and she was trapped in place.

"This is a binding spell?!"

Rukia was immediately filled with disbelief. Although she had long suspected that Urahara was extraordinary, she never imagined that Urahara Kisuke would even know the Binding Spell, which only Shinigami could use. In other words, Urahara Kisuke might also be a Shinigami, or rather, Urahara was once a Shinigami. This shocked Rukia immensely.

"Buzz!"

It was precisely at the moment when Rukia was being controlled by Kisuke Urahara that the Gillian-level Hollow opened its massive maw.

It seems that this Hollow sensed the threat posed by Ichigo Kurosaki, so he instinctively made the decision to eliminate Ichigo Kurosaki.

"That's a Cero? Oh no!!"

"Ichigo Kurosaki, run! This is no match for you..."

Rukia panicked at this moment. Although it was her first time witnessing a Hollow's Cero, just looking at the crimson energy that distorted the light, Rukia could feel the immense power of this attack.

"boom!!"

Finally, amidst Rukia's roar, Killian unleashed that terrifying beam of destruction upon Ichigo! A massive beam of light struck Ichigo, instantly sending up a thick layer of dust from the ground.

"Ichigo!!!"

At this moment, Rukia screamed in anguish. You must know that Ichigo's Shinigami power came entirely from Rukia. It was Rukia who led Ichigo onto the path of Shinigami. In other words, without Rukia, Kurosaki Ichigo would not have had to face the Hollow before him. So, in the end, it was she who killed Kurosaki Ichigo, this genius child who, according to the age of a Shinigami, was not even an infant.

At this moment, Rukia felt a sense of despair; she could not forgive herself for causing the child's death.

At this moment, Ishida Uryu shared the same thoughts as Rukia. He cursed his own incompetence in his heart. If he had any ability, he would not have caused the death of his classmate Kurosaki Ichigo, who was in the same grade and school, because of the bait.

"Miss Kuchiki, don't panic, keep watching..."

However, Kisuke Urahara remained completely calm at that moment.

"Um?!"

Rukia paused slightly after hearing Urahara's words. She looked up in the direction where Ichigo Kurosaki was, and then her pupils flashed with an incredible light.

"Are you kidding me? Is Kurosaki Ichigo a monster?"

Before Rukia could speak, Ishida Uryu had already revealed Rukia's true feelings.

"what!!!"

What was seen was that Ichigo Kurosaki, who in Rukia's eyes had been burned to death by the Hollow's Cero, was now holding his Zanpakuto, standing firm against the Hollow's Cero amidst the red storm, and even gaining a considerable advantage.

"Kill me!!"

Ichigo felt a sweet taste in his throat and his pupils became slightly unfocused. In his inner world, two figures simultaneously covered the Zanpakuto in Ichigo's hand, and at that moment, they held Ichigo's hand and swung the Zanpakuto at the Killian.

"boom!!"

Suddenly, a magnificent slash came from Ichigo's hand.

"Shhh!!"

Immediately afterwards, the Gillian-level Hollow was cut in two by Ichigo Kurosaki's sword.

"It's done! It's a success..."

As Kurosaki Ichigo spoke, he looked up at the azure sky above and smiled smugly. In his eyes, even a mere Hollow would be slain.

"So strong, I'm no match for him..."

"Ichigo Kurosaki, this guy, his Shinigami power came from me, but now he's stronger than me?! This is just too weird..."

In that instant, both Ishida Uryu and Kuchiki Rukia acknowledged Kurosaki Ichigo's immense strength. However, neither of them could comprehend where Kurosaki Ichigo had obtained his power. Although there had been no precedent in the Soul Society before Rukia of a Shinigami transferring power to a human, there were instances of Shinigami transferring power to other Shinigami. In these cases, none of the Shinigami who passively received the power gained surpassed the power of the one who transferred it. For a moment, Rukia's feelings were complex.

"I always feel like all my efforts over the years have been in vain..."

Rukia frowned deeply at this.

It was precisely at the moment Ichigo defeated Killian that this happened.

'Soul Society'.

Within the "Technology Development Bureau" of the 'Gotei 12'.

"This is truly incredible!"

The current 'Technical Start' Vice Captain Akin, after detecting an unknown and powerful spiritual pressure in the 'real world', immediately followed up, and the scene shifted.

Once Akin located Karakura Town, he switched to the Karakura Town scene and witnessed the battle between Kurosaki Ichigo and Killian, as well as Kuchiki Rukia, who was unable to transform into a Shinigami. The connection between Rukia and Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to be implied.

"Chief, please take a look at this..."

In response, Akin took the footage he had gathered and approached Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

"This is really interesting!"

"Report this to the Chief of Staff and also to 'Room 46'."

Upon receiving the report, Nie's lips curled into a smile, and he spoke with a chuckle.

"As ordered!"

In response, all the staff at 'Tech Start' nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's get started!"

"Ichigo Kurosaki, Kisuke Urahara, Mako Hirako, Rukia Kuchiki, and Houdama!"

"Everyone who's important is in place! The stage is all set up, it's time for your performance to begin! I'm looking forward to giving you a big surprise!"

Aizen sat in his captain's room, a smile on his face.

Araki: "Aizen, I'm getting impatient! Hurry up and offer up your magnificent rebellion~"

Chapter 184 Rukia Kuchiki Breaks Down! Rukia: Kurosaki

Thus, the duel between Uryu Ishida and Ichigo Kurosaki came to an end, with Ichigo slaying a Gillian-level Hollow with a single strike!

Countless Hollows, watching the endless crimson spray towards the fallen Killian-level Hollow behind them, disregarded Ishida Uryu's bait. They stopped causing trouble in Karakura Town and turned around, rushing into the black cavity where the Killian was, devouring the Killian's massive body!

Perhaps this is what they mean by "one whale falls and all things come to life." In front of the corpse of a powerful spiritual particle aggregate, a Gillian-level Hollow, which far surpasses the level of ordinary Hollows, no matter how many wandering souls there are, they cannot rival the attraction of this corpse to ordinary Hollows.

The word "evolution" seemed to be engraved in the deepest part of every Hollow soul. They knew clearly that as long as they devoured the corpse of this Gillian-level Hollow, they would have the potential to evolve into Hollows themselves, at which point they would receive a fundamental upgrade.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, I've lost!"

As Ishida Uryu watched the Hollows, who had fallen and were now instinctively terrified of Kurosaki Ichigo, scattering and fleeing, he gently adjusted his glasses, uttered a few words to Kurosaki Ichigo, and then left.

"This guy……"

Seeing Ishida Uryu bleeding from his arms and on the verge of collapse due to the high-intensity gathering of spiritual energy, Kurosaki Ichigo originally wanted to stop him and take Uryu home to have his father examine him. After all, his father was a well-known doctor in Karakura Town. Unfortunately, Uryu didn't give Kurosaki a chance to speak.

"Ichigo, let's go!"

At that moment, Rukia seemed to have thought of something. She leaned close to Ichigo and whispered something.

"it is good!"

Ichigo Kurosaki didn't think much of it and simply nodded slightly to Rukia Kuchiki.

The following day was Sunday.

Ichigo Kurosaki lay in bed all day, not because he wanted to, but because he was simply unable to move.

Perhaps it was because, during his battle against the Hollow on Saturday, he pushed his limits and unleashed a spiritual pressure that his current spiritual form was completely unable to withstand...

As a result, when Ichigo Kurosaki woke up today, his body felt like it couldn't move. His muscles were throbbing all over his body, and every piece of flesh seemed to have been damaged to some extent.

"What a troublesome thing!"

Kurosaki Ichigo kept sighing, his eyes seemingly lifeless.

Fortunately, Ichigo Kurosaki recovered quickly, and by the next morning, he found that his body was fine and he could go to school normally.

"what……"

At this point, Ichigo Kurosaki yawned and headed to Karakura Town First High School with Rukia Kuchiki, who was sleeping in his closet.

Good morning, everyone!

After arriving at the classroom, Kurosaki Ichigo first greeted the classmates he knew, and then walked towards Inoue Orihime and Chad.

"Thank you so much for yesterday!"
