Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

"My name is Pu Yuanxizhu!"

"I'm the owner of the convenience store!"

"I am his father!"

Seeing that Pu Yuanxi was about to lose his composure, Zhang Shan said calmly, "Now that you know your names, tell me what you want to do."

"I don't know!" *2!

Zhang Shan's face darkened. Looking at the two bright smiling faces in front of him, he threw two punches without hesitation!

Bang bang!

A second later, two people with dark circles under their eyes cried out, "We really didn't know! We just felt like we were all here to cause trouble in Seireitei, so we thought we'd stick together!"

To be honest, this reason is generally not believed by anyone. Even Lilynet noticed that something was wrong and looked at the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze.

Urazane Kisuke and Shihouin Yoruichi blinked frantically, looking completely obedient.

Zhang Shan glanced into the distance and saw that Kurosaki Ichigo was training his Bankai, but there was nothing else.

Oh, and there's a hot spring, with wisps of steam rising from it.

With the idea of ​​"since I'm already here, I might as well make the best of it," Zhang Shan decided to go and check on Kurosaki Ichigo's training.

As for why Urahara Kisuke wanted to leave the two of them behind, he didn't care.

Clang clang!

A metallic clanging sound rang out. In Zhang Shan's eyes, Kurosaki Ichigo was fighting a strange doll. The doll was holding a strange large sword, which it shattered in one strike.

The momentum continued unabated, and it looked like it was about to cleave Ichigo in two with a single strike.

Ichigo dodged the attack with a somersault, grabbed a random sword, and resumed fighting the puppet.

Watching Ichigo fight, Zhang Shan sighed, "Poor kid, he's been completely fooled by these people."

Shinigami usually practices sword meditation, and their communication with their Zanpakuto takes place in their own mental world, gradually building a bond with the Zanpakuto and increasing their strength.

As for Ichigo's current situation, it's pure forcing growth!

Whether it's Shikai or Bankai, as long as Ichigo's Zanpakuto doesn't reveal its name to him, all that awaits Ichigo is to unleash his full power.

"Hmm? It doesn't seem so bad after all?"

The thought flashed through Zhang Shan's mind, and he quickly banished it.

When Ichigo was exhausted and collapsed on the ground to rest, Zhang Shan and the others had finished preparing dinner. They brought a plate of fried noodles to Ichigo and, while Urazane Kisuke and Yoruichi were engrossed in the food, whispered to Ichigo, "Kid, do you want to get stronger?"

Ichigo was taken aback for a moment, then nodded without hesitation: "Do you have any ideas?"

“Of course!” Zhang Shan said, “I know the true name of your Zanpakuto, and I can help you gain power that surpasses everything in a short time, but there is one condition!”

Ichigo's eyes lit up immediately, and he said without hesitation, "Just tell me, anything I can do to help!"

Zhang Shan whispered in Ichigo's ear, "Your Zanpakuto's Bankai is called Tensa Zangetsu, but to unleash its true power, you need to communicate with your Zanpakuto frequently and find the true Zangetsu between the two of them!"

"Them... the two of them?" Ichigo was a little confused. He hadn't actually met Hollow White yet, so he naturally couldn't understand what Zhang Shan meant.

"I can't explain it in much detail, but in short, the guy you're seeing right now has been suppressing your strength. If you want to obtain your true power, you have to persuade him to release the suppression."

After saying that, Zhang Shan returned to Yoruichi and the others, much to Ichigo's chagrin.

"What did you say to that child?" Yoruichi asked curiously.

Lilynet also perked up her ears.

"Just tell him the true name of his Zanpakuto," Zhang Shan said with a nonchalant smile.

"Hmm...huh?"

Just as Yoruichi and Urazono Kisuke were about to ask questions, a captain-level spiritual pressure suddenly erupted behind them.

Along with it came Ichigo Kurosaki's voice.

"Swastika! Tiansuo Zhanyue!"

Dressed in black and wielding a long sword, Ichigo Kurosaki appeared before everyone's eyes.

Yoruichi and the others stared in shock at Ichigo behind them, never expecting that this kid had learned Bankai so quickly!

At this moment, Ichigo was even more shocked than the others.

He just tried it out and never expected to succeed, because if Zhang Shan was telling the truth, then Uncle Zhan Yue, whom he had been trusting all this time, would undoubtedly be a big liar!

But it's too late to say anything now. He successfully achieved Bankai by relying on the name he got from Zhang Shan, so he has nothing left to doubt.

Yoruichi and the other person ran to Ichigo's side, genuinely happy for her.

However, Urazono Kisuke keenly sensed that Ichigo's mood was off, so he held up Ichigo's small fan to his mouth and said calmly, "It seems that Mr. Kurosaki needs to deal with his own affairs first, so we won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, he pulled Yoruichi away and continued happily eating.

Zhang Shan and Lilynee kept talking non-stop. Ichigo's current spiritual pressure was less than one-tenth of Lilynee's, and the little girl didn't take this kid seriously at all.

At this moment, Ichigo sat down cross-legged, and his consciousness entered the spiritual world.

Under the bright sunshine, atop a tall building, Ichigo looked at the old man Zangetsu in front of him, and for a moment he was speechless.

The two looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Uncle Zhan Yue sighed and said, "He is right. All along, I have been suppressing your power. As long as I release the suppression, you will be able to obtain your true power."

"Why?!" Ichigo exclaimed, bewildered. "You saved me when I was in the most danger, so why are you suppressing my power?"

Uncle Zangetsu shook his head: "No, Ichigo, think carefully, every time you were in danger, who saved you!"

The next moment, Uncle Zangetsu disappeared, leaving Ichigo alone in the entire city.

Who saved you?

These words echoed in Ichigo's mind.

He remembered that when he fought Kenpachi before, once he started fighting, Uncle Zangetsu would suddenly disappear, and then his power would surge.

"No, no, no!" Ichigo shook his head frantically, unwilling to believe this outrageous truth.

"It must be Uncle Zangetsu who is helping me in the battle, which is why he hasn't had time to talk to me!"

Just as Ichigo was deceiving himself, a figure appeared behind him without him even noticing.

He looks exactly like Ichigo, and is also Ichigo's Bankai form, except that he is entirely white, the exact opposite of Ichigo.

"Hey, Wang, you look confused."

The sudden sound made Ichigo Kurosaki tremble. He turned around, his pupils dilating instantly!

"Who are you?"

Xu Bai laughed and said, "I am Tian Suo Zhan Yue, or you can call me Zhan Yue, it doesn't matter."

"My king, what are you confused about?"

"Confused?" Ichigo remained silent. The impact of Zangetsu on him was too great, and Ichigo couldn't react for a moment as to why this white guy who looked just like him had appeared in his mental world.

Just then, Ichigo spoke again, laughing wildly: "Don't be confused, forget your fear, look ahead, move forward! Don't stop, retreating will only make you grow old, and cowardice will surely bring death! Fight! Give everything to your instincts!"

White Ichigo's voice echoed in the space, and Ichigo instantly recalled the scene when he first met Uncle Zangetsu.

Uncle Zhan Yue said those words to himself back then, but he didn't include that final, instinctive remark.

"you!"

Just as Ichigo was about to ask a question, he found that White Ichigo was already charging towards him with a sinister grin on his face.

"Don't ask, and I won't explain. Just feel it with your sword!"

Clang!

As the blades clashed, Ichigo instantly felt a surge of emotion welling up in his heart!

Chapter 166 Rescue

Outside, Ichigo's spiritual pressure began to surge, and after one night, it was more than five times stronger than before.

Yoru's mouth dropped open, staring blankly at Ichigo.

"What's going on with this kid?" Yoruichi looked at Uraen Kisuke, who also had a serious expression, his Adam's apple bobbing, indicating that he was not at peace.

"Success?" Pu Yuanxizhu was overjoyed.

But being a seasoned cunning man, Uraen Kisuke immediately opened his folding fan to cover his face and said, "It seems that Mr. Kurosaki is communicating quite well with his Zanpakuto."

Yoruichi suppressed her surprise and thought Urazane Kisuke's explanation was good, or rather, it was the only explanation.

Zhang Shan lay leisurely on the ground, without replying.

Ichigo's spiritual pressure surged, but his appearance remained unchanged, showing no signs of Hollowhood, indicating that he was still being suppressed.

To fully awaken Ichigo's Hollow powers, he needs to go through a life-or-death battle.

Soon, Ichigo opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing across his face.

He was now quite certain that Zhang Shan was telling the truth, and that his power had indeed been suppressed by Uncle Zhan Yue.

However, he was now unsure whether the white figure was the real Zangetsu.

After all, he had been listening to the other party shout about kings and mounts all night, or maybe it was just instinct...

Ichigo doesn't believe that this idiot is the person he truly is.

"As expected, Uncle Zhan Yue is more in line with my self-image!"

A first-year high school student who liked to fight and was like a delinquent described himself in this way.

Having mastered the power of Bankai, Ichigo Kurosaki, whose strength had increased dramatically, couldn't sit still and immediately went to save Rukia.

However, he was stopped by Urahara Kiju.

With a smile on his face, Pillar said, "Don't rush, Mr. Kurosaki, now is not the best time to save them!"

Although Ichigo Kurosaki is already very strong, the Seireitei is currently in turmoil. Yoshihashi Urazono thinks it's best to wait until Aizen reveals his true colors before making a move.

Then, all the blame can be pinned on Aizen. At that time, not only will Rukia be innocent, but Ichigo, the substitute Shinigami, can also truly appear in the open.

All of this was part of Pu Yuanxizhu's plan!

But what he didn't know was that all of this was also part of Aizen's plan.
