Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 292 Is the special training you're referring to just rapid resuscitation after someone is killed?

The meeting room fell silent upon hearing this.

Avici Hell is a place where the most heinous criminals in the history of Soul Society are imprisoned, yet they cannot be executed.

The place is protected by countless seals, so that even light cannot escape. How could anyone possibly escape?

Captain-Commander Yamamoto gripped his cane tightly, looking genuinely angry: "The entire Guardian Team responsible for protecting the Infernal Passage has been confirmed dead."

"The whereabouts of the eighth Kenpachi, Souya Azashiro, who was imprisoned inside, are unknown."

Any captain with more seniority would change their expression upon hearing this name.

The city of moles is doubled.

That's the Grim Reaper who defeated the seventh Kenpachi, Captain Kuruyashiki, and inherited the name Kenpachi.

It is said that in that battle, Kuruyashiki was unable to exert his full strength and was rendered powerless.

What terrifying power this is...

Moreover... that guy once implemented the "Spearhead Project" in Rukongai, intending to transform all the residents of Rukongai into weapons and attack Hueco Mundo.

Although the investigation was eventually stopped, he subsequently surrendered himself to the police and was imprisoned.

But his experiment was successful.

In a sense, if he could truly transform all ordinary souls into elite combatants capable of fighting Hollows, the entire order of the Seireitei would be overthrown...

Captain-Commander Yamamoto's gaze fell upon the vacant position in the Eleventh Division.

Kenpachi Zaraki should have been standing there, but now, that beast who only knew how to fight was defeated by the Ryoka due to inexplicable self-limitation in the battle.

Then, his gaze fell on Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division.

The medical team leader, who usually wore a kind smile, had his head slightly lowered and his hands tucked into his sleeves, making it impossible to see his expression.

But the captains standing next to her could clearly sense it.

A chilling killing intent was faintly emanating from her.

"I don't need to elaborate on how dangerous Moss City Souya is." Captain-Commander Yamamoto withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "His escape is a hundred times more troublesome than the invasion of the Traveling Scouts."

"If he joins forces with the Travelers, or if he is secretly plotting some conspiracy... the Soul Society will face an unprecedented threat."

"The 46th Chamber has decided to carry out the double execution ahead of schedule!"

"Pass down the order! Immediately enter a state of high combat readiness!"

"In addition to being responsible for searching for and capturing the Ryoka, the captains of each squad must closely monitor all abnormal spiritual pressure within the Soul Society!"

""

"Upon discovery of Mochishiro Sōya's whereabouts, kill him on the spot without prior authorization!"

"yes!!!"

All the team leaders responded in unison.

The sky was still dark after the meeting ended.

Captain of the 10th Division, Toshiro Hitsugaya, walked alone on the road.

He kept his head down, his brows furrowed in gloom.

"What's wrong, Captain Hitsugaya?"

A lazy voice came from behind.

Wearing a pink, flamboyant haori and a straw hat, Kyoraku Shunsui followed leisurely.

"You look so preoccupied, are you worried about the casualties in the Tenth Division?"

Kyoraku Shunsui adjusted his straw hat, his tone somewhat comforting, "Don't blame yourself too much. The strength of the Traveler's Calamity has indeed exceeded expectations."

"Even Zaraki fell down. Your Tenth Division's performance in your first battle was already quite remarkable."

Toshiro stopped and looked back at this seemingly frivolous but actually unfathomable senior.

"The band leader of the Beijing Opera..."

'

He hesitated.

There are indeed concerns.

The 10th Division suffered inexplicable internal strife and heavy losses in the battle at the White Gate, which frustrated and angered the newly appointed captain.

However, what truly unsettled him was not these things...

"No, it's nothing."

Toshiro shook his head, burying the doubts in his eyes deep within.

"Thank you for your trouble... I was just thinking about how to boost the morale of the 10th Division." Toshiro replied in his usual polite yet indifferent tone, "Farewell, Captain Kyoraku."

After saying that, he vanished in an instant.

As he watched Toshiro's departing figure, Kyoraku Shunsui's smile gradually faded.

"Oh dear... young people these days are becoming less and less lovable."

He sighed, his gaze falling on the still oppressive atmosphere of the First Division dormitory, and remained silent for a long time.

The night was quiet.

Although martial law was in effect throughout the area, it wasn't difficult for Toshiro to evade the patrols.

After bidding farewell to Kyoraku Shunsui, he did not return to the 10th Division, but instead quietly arrived at the foot of Sōkyō Hill.

"6

""

After pondering for a long time, hesitantly began searching for the secret passage into the underground space, as the person had suggested.

Meanwhile, beneath the hill of Shuangji, there is a barely usable room.

A long time ago, long enough that Kisuke Urahara hadn't betrayed Soul Society, long enough that he hadn't even become a Shinigami.

Kisuke and Yoruichi, childhood friends, secretly built an underground training ground beneath Sōki-no-Gō.

This place is where they poured out their youthful sweat and became their secret base for sparring and training.

However, it now has another clever use.

"Weave your destiny, Mother..."

With a clear murmur, countless points of light flew toward the orange-haired boy in front of him.

Those are spirit worms.

Following their master's will, they quickly covered the wounds and the vital energy channels, repairing the boy's body.

"Hiss..." Kurosaki Ichigo gasped.

It wasn't because of the pain, but rather because the feeling of being covered in countless insects was rather eerie.

"Shinobu, the power of your sword is amazing no matter how many times I see it..." Yoruichi exclaimed as she watched Ichigo's wound heal rapidly.

The petite Shinobu Kocho, with her shoulder-length short hair, shook her head helplessly: "Miss Yoruichi... the patient should rest too; they've been practicing until late at night."

A gentle smile graced her face, but there was little joy in her purple eyes: "Besides, I need to go back and keep an eye on the children, otherwise I really can't rest easy..."

'

"Don't call them children, they're all grown women in their forties or fifties!"

Yoruichi completely disagreed with this, her expression serious: "No matter what, you have to help me this time. Ichigo doesn't have time left."

Today, she suddenly appeared in the Fourth Division with a heavily injured Ichigo, almost scaring Shinobu Kocho to death.

Although he and Kisuke are allies, that doesn't include supporting Ichigo Kurosaki's invasion plan.

But since she was already there, she gritted her teeth and treated Kurosaki Ichigo's injuries.

She never expected that Yoruichi would stick to her like that, insisting that she come to the underground training grounds with her, all for the sake of that Bankai.

"There are more than a dozen people as strong as Kenpachi. With your current mediocre skills, you can't save Rukia. You must master Bankai!"

"Normally, even a gifted Grim Reaper needs decades or even centuries to comprehend it."

"But now, you don't have that time, not even ten days."

After Shinobu Kocho revived Ichigo Kurosaki, Yoruichi didn't let him rest for a minute and immediately explained the importance of the situation to him.

"Three days! You only have three days at most!"

After setting his goal, Ichigo devoted himself entirely to training.

Behind him, in the open space, stood a strange humanoid wooden plank: the Transcendent Body.

That is a special spiritual tool that forcibly extracts and materializes the Zanpakuto itself, summoning it into the real world.

He must subdue the extracted Zanpakuto itself in order to learn Bankai within this extremely limited time.

Because of Shinobu Kocho's presence, they fought without holding back, solely to constantly push Ichigo to his limits.

Anyway, Shinobu Kocho has the magic touch to heal.

"...Sigh, staying up late will give you wrinkles." Shinobu Kocho finished checking that Ichigo's body had recovered, and sheathed her Zanpakuto, complaining with a smile.

Ichigo bowed deeply to her and then prepared to immediately begin his new training.

However, before Shinobu could figure out how to extricate herself from the situation, an unexpected figure appeared in her field of vision.

Hitsugaya Toshiro.
