Bleach: Stir Up the Situation

Ichigo has not seen Hongjiang and the others for a long time since attending Yokoichi and Hongjiang's wedding. Even Rukia has only visited a handful of times.

At first, he was a little uncomfortable with it, but after a while, he gradually got used to it. Rather than saying that this was unusual, it was better to say that this was the most peaceful life he should have.

Just imagine, if he hadn't met Rukia, he would have been just an ordinary high school student who could see souls.

Then he went to Soul Society to rescue Rukia, and then had to fight against Aizen with the Shinigami from the Seireitei. This inevitably gave him the feeling that his fate was closely linked to the Shinigami, and there was even a feeling that he was just... It's just an illusion of death.

In fact, Ichigo now only has the identity of a Shinigami. This is not the whole of his life, nor should it be the whole. After all, as a human being, his experience is only equivalent to seventeen years.

Be it Hirojiang or Rukia, their lives will never be completely in line with each other. Although there is some overlap, their intersections cannot be densely packed until the day he bids farewell to his human identity.

Of course, such a peaceful life is not completely peaceful. As an acting Shinigami and a member of the Collaboration Bureau, it is also our duty to assist the Shinigami stationed in the present world to protect the present world.

However, this has gradually become a habit for Ichigo and others, and ordinary Hollows can no longer give them the same sense of tension as the first time they faced it. At the same time, they are not people who seek the excitement of fighting like Kenpachi and Ikkaku, so although this kind of life is a bit uneventful, it is rarely comfortable.

This is not without some twists and turns. Grimmjow suddenly appeared in the world about a month ago. Since Ichimaru Gin still dominates Hueco Mundo, the Technology Development Bureau still maintains strict monitoring of Karakura Town. First It took time to discover the traces of the 6th Tenth Blade.

An enemy of this level cannot be dealt with by a Shinigami stationed in the real world. The first people the Technology Development Bureau contacted were Urahara and Yoruichi, but they happened to not be in Karakura Town at the time.

At the same time, two ten-blade level Arrancars who had not yet been recorded in the Seireitei stopped Isshin Kurosaki. It happened that Hirako and others were traveling, and Grimmjow was heading straight for Ichigo. At least once, they were openly targeting him. This is where Ichigo's actions begin.

After the battle with Aizen, Ichigo's power of death had disappeared. Although he later learned the full-breasted technique through Ginjo's teachings, this power that was more than enough to deal with ordinary Hollows seemed a little powerless when facing the Ten Blades.

It can't be said that they were defeated in one blow, but Ichigo was still in an extremely dangerous situation when facing Grimmjow. Fortunately, combined with Chad, Ishida, and Ginjo, they managed to reach Hongjiang without any danger. Come to support.

Hiroe, who only came for support, did not gain any results. Ichimaru Gin seemed to have arranged for people to monitor the border early. Almost the moment Hiroe stepped out of the border crossing, the Arrancars who attacked Karakura Town started to return in black. Hueco Mundo, the two sides in this confrontation ended in this alternative peaceful way.

Although the matter was resolved, the sudden attack of the Arrancar still sent some signals to Seireitei, that is, Ichimaru Gin did not seem to give up on Ichigo.

Of course, the opponent's purpose is not necessarily Ichigo. After all, dispatching a small force to carry out such a surprise attack is actually more like a test. Thinking about it from another perspective, it seems unclear to Ichimaru Gin whether this attack can achieve the expected results. unimportant.

You can understand that the other party is testing the Seireitei's monitoring of Karakura Town, and the response speed and method of the Gotei 13 when encountering danger. If the person supporting is Hong Jiang, you must consider whether it is the Gotei 13. It is part of the emergency plan of the three teams.

And what is the use of obtaining this information? There are countless guesses.

Maybe there really is someone or something that Ichimaru Gin wants in Karakura Town, or maybe this is just a rehearsal to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Ichimaru Gin's real target is in the Soul Society and even the Seireitei.

It is difficult to gain insight into the enemy's purpose from just one action, and it seems even more difficult to analyze the root cause, which is Ichimaru Gin's psychology. It was also at that moment that the captains of the Gotei 13 discovered that they seemed to have no regard for Ichimaru Gin at all. Got it.

In the subsequent captain's meeting, we also discussed solutions to the other party's possible purposes, and there were many methods.

For example, launching another attack on Ichimaru Gin was the plan proposed by Kenpachi, and there were also ideas such as the idea of ​​having Urahara, Hirako and others permanently stationed in Karakura Town.

Although the latter option sounds feasible, Hirako and others are not strictly under the jurisdiction of the Gotei 13. It is true that they are members of the Collaboration Bureau, but the Collaboration Bureau itself is still closer to a cooperative model. The bottom line is that both parties They should not harm each other's interests, and at the same time try their best to lend a helping hand to each other in times of crisis. It is obviously inappropriate to require the other party to station in an imperative like the above.

Once such an order is accepted, the Seireitei will accordingly recognize the opponent's identity in the Gotei 13, and even admit that the opponent is a member of the Gotei 13.

And once this kind of thing is admitted, the corresponding thing is that the other party will be completely under the rules of the Gotei 13. Taking responsibility is one part, and enjoying the benefits brought by the due status is another part, and this will inevitably give The structure of the Gotei 13 brings quite a few challenges.

Even in the Thirteenth Team, in addition to the conflicts between civilians and nobles, there may also be conflicts between outsiders and locals, which can affect the whole body. This kind of slight change can lead to countless uncertain factors and the result is not Forty-Six room would like to see.

The idea of ​​stabilizing Karakura Town through orders was shattered, but its ideas still gave others great inspiration. That is to stabilize the situation in Karakura Town without relying on the Gotei 13 as much as possible when the local target is uncertain.

On this basis, Ichigo becomes extremely critical.

One is that he is probably Ichimaru Gin's target in this world, and the other is because he has shown extraordinary potential as a god of death. Aside from defeating Aizen in a last-ditch battle, Ichigo himself has combat power comparable to that of the captain.

At the same time, while he is still in school, he is destined to stay in Karakura Town for a long time. Even if Ichimaru Gin's real target in Karakura Town is not him, Ichigo's combat power cannot be ignored when facing a crisis.

Therefore, Ichigo is not said to be the one who can solve the problem 100%, but he is definitely the key figure in dealing with Ichimaru Gin's unpredictable actions.

It's a pity that this key figure's current strength seems to be far from enough. Everyone can see the impact of losing the power of death.

So a proposal came up smoothly-to restore Ichigo Kurosaki's power as a Shinigami.

And this proposal was quickly passed and implemented!
