Chapter 328, Section 325: A Big Scene

Ichigo Kurosaki burst out of the door.

His movements were already quite fast, but Rukia was now just a tiny figure in his eyes.

How could it be so fast?!

He instinctively wanted to call out and tell the other person to wait, but in the end, Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't bring himself to say it. Instead, he gritted his teeth and followed.

In urgent situations, emergency measures should be taken.

At a time like this, the problem is that you can't keep up with the other person's pace!

Ichigo Kurosaki jumped over the railing and quickly approached, chasing after him for several blocks.

Why are we getting further and further apart?!

Stamina—that guy's stamina is just too good!

While he was feeling sentimental, Ichigo Kurosaki was unaware that various colors of light were appearing on the surface of his body.

It has a subtle shimmer of black and red, mixed with a pale gray and a subdued understated glow—of course, as the main element, the most obvious is a bright azure light.

If someone were to look at him from a distance, they would probably see that the kid was like a bright, colorful light strip hanging from his body, flashing with interwoven lights of various colors.

It does feel somewhat abstract.

However, Ichigo Kurosaki himself clearly had no such feelings.

He simply followed Rukia's footsteps until they stopped at a certain corner.

He watched as Rukia landed, and under the telephone pole, she called out to a figure that looked slender and small.

"Linghua?! What happened to you?"

The child who looked about the same age as his sister was named Linghua?

Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at him briefly and then saw the other person slowly open his eyes.

Her expression showed a moment of confusion, but she quickly recovered. She struggled to sit up, then smacked her lips and shook her head as if she had just woken up.

"Rukia-nee-san—what's wrong?"

"You're asking me what's wrong—didn't you just yell?! Did you encounter some danger?!"

"Ah—you mean that one?"

She chuckled, revealing a rather radiant expression.

"I ran into a Hollow. That guy seems pretty smart, and he can even talk. I think someone like him should shine in Hueco Mundo, so I tried to persuade him to go back."

but.

"Not only did he refuse, he also tried to hit me. So I fought back—"

She smacked her lips, patted her belly, and showed a satisfied smile.

"The taste is not bad!"

Rukia opened her mouth slightly, but remained silent for a long time without being able to speak.

I don't know how to say it.

Although she knew about the unique features of the water chestnut flower before setting off—she was clearly unaware of the specifics.

After all, she had seen far too many so-called unique people. Among the nobility were mostly unruly geniuses who came up with all sorts of strange ideas.

But cases like Matsushita Ryoka's were clearly somewhat unexpected.

What's wrong with this guy?

"The captain said she was a bit unique—but he never mentioned that she might be weak or vulnerable!"

To be honest, the person involved was somewhat nervous at that moment, but at the same time, Rukia felt a strong sense of responsibility.

I was scared and nervous.

but----

We can't just leave it unattended!

"Linghua, are you feeling unwell anywhere right now?"

"Not feeling well? No, I feel great, like I've had a good meal, very energetic!"

Matsushita Hikari chuckled and then made a gesture that resembled "strong".

then.

As if sensing something, she turned her head slightly and gazed into the distance.

She and Ichigo Kurosaki made eye contact.

This was arguably the first meeting between the two parties in any real sense, as they had never had any meaningful communication before.

but.

With just a glance, the two seemed to sense something and revealed subtle expressions.

Kurosaki Ichigo almost instinctively took a half step back, then raised his hand and pressed it against his temple.

The throbbing pain came in waves, causing him to involuntarily let out a short groan.

Although there was no more specific explanation or reminder, Ichigo Kurosaki was able to roughly sense and understand the situation based solely on his own experience.

The reason I have a headache is this —

It was the little girl in front of me, who looked to be about the same age as my younger sister.

Why is this happening?

Compared to Ichigo Kurosaki's confusion, Hishika Matsushita's reaction was more obvious.

She widened her eyes slightly, looking at Ichigo Kurosaki as if he were some rare and precious object. She scrutinized him from head to toe, tilting her head back slightly, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Is it you?!"

"—What do you mean?"

"That 'Child of Destiny' that my dad always mentions, and that monk Hyosube always talks about!"

"I don't understand what you're saying—"

"Hehe, it's okay if you don't understand! But since we've run into each other today, it doesn't matter if you don't understand."

Because it is very simple.

"I'll teach you!"

Matsushita Hikari almost bounced off the ground.

She looked intently at Ichigo Kurosaki not far away, took a step, and turned to the side—just like Soi Fon when confronting someone, she drew the sword hanging at her waist with extremely light speed.

Zanpakuto.

Although it's the same name.

However, the style that Matsushita Ryukaku has now is quite different from the Zanpakuto in the usual sense.

It appears more slender, slim, and short overall. Rather than a two-handed bladed weapon, it is more like a lightweight weapon specifically designed for assassination and covert operations.

Matsushita Ryukaku held it in her right hand, and with a slight flick of her wrist, turned her grip, making it resemble a dagger.

Generally, hold it in reverse.

As she moved nimbly, she slightly raised her chin and spoke in a rather teasing tone.

"Are we about to attack?"

The tone of his voice was quite casual.

But neither Ichigo Kurosaki nor Rukia were underestimating them at this moment.

Because both of them could feel that what overflowed from the other seemed to have transformed into something tangible—

From Rukia's perspective, she could clearly tell that this was a product of the other party's transformation and expression of her spiritual power.

Therefore, her tone sounded very anxious at this moment.

"Rinka! What are you doing?! We're in the real world here. Acting recklessly will be condemned, and in serious cases, you could be imprisoned!"

Huh? Is it that serious?

Ichigo Kurosaki instinctively looked towards Rukia, but soon he realized that the girl named Hikari seemed completely unmoved.

"It's alright, after all, this is what I came here for—and I've already prepared to control my power, which was something I discussed with my father and Old Man Shan a long time ago!"

Rukia straightened her words slightly, then gave a somewhat puzzled look.

What matters require consultation with the Eleventh Division Captain and the Commander-in-Chief before permission can be obtained?

Before he could even speak.

Matsushita Hikari began to stride forward.

As she tossed the short blade high in the air, she kept a close eye on Ichigo Kurosaki and spoke in an urging tone.

"Hurry up and show me your true skills. Let me see what makes you so much better than me? What's so special about this so-called 'Child of Destiny'?"

Although he kept talking.

But these are precisely the kinds of things that Ichigo Kurosaki simply cannot comprehend, or even know at all.

His doubts only increased.

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

"————?"

Matsushita Hikari stopped in her tracks, stood still, and looked extremely puzzled.

Wait, why?

"How did Father know what you were going to say?"

But—oh well, none of them are really that important anyway.

The girl's gaze quickly sharpened again. At the same time, her previously scattered thoughts gathered together, and with the movement of stepping forward, an invisible aura spread out like a domain, enveloping Kurosaki Ichigo.

"My patience isn't much, and if you keep hesitating and dragging your feet like this—"

After a brief pause, Matsushita Ryuka narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke in a completely indifferent tone.

"You might die."

rustle--

A figure hiding several hundred meters away stirred slightly with unease.

Judging from his actions, one can roughly understand that this must be someone who is very concerned about Ichigo Kurosaki's situation.

But as soon as he made the move, he seemed to regret it and took three steps back—as if he wanted to remind himself to correct his attitude and position.

The moment he made that reaction, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Oh, Mr. Kurosaki, it's been a long time."

Upon hearing this, the latter stopped in place and turned his head slightly.

Just then, he saw Kisuke Urahara, dressed casually and wearing a fisherman's hat, walking towards him with a playful expression.

"Manager Urahara—indeed, it's been a long time."

Although the two usually keep in touch, things have become increasingly complicated recently, and they are both busy with their own troubles, which has directly led to a significant reduction in the number of times they meet.

Actually, the two sides have a pretty good relationship.

After all, they were all unlucky souls who were driven to the mortal world, and Urahara Kisuke's help during the Masaki incident was also a very important part of that.

Based on this alone, Kurosaki Isshin already regarded the other party as his comrade.

So what is the current situation?

"Why—"

Before Kurosaki Isshin could finish speaking, the latter said with a cheerful smile.

"Of course, it's to prepare for tonight's battle—otherwise, do you think the current Karakura Town is strong enough to withstand these two's antics?"

Spatial strength.

Similar topics are also mentioned in the original work.

The main focus is on the invasion of Hueco Mundo and the chapters in the present world.

The setting was based on the distribution and logic of the plot, and in essence, it was to raise the level of the Shinigami side, so it was described in the way that "in order to prevent the collapse of the real world, spiritual power can only be restricted".

It's true that it might seem a bit pretentious.

But in reality, there is some truth to this—after all, this place is the most vulnerable of the three realms.

In the Thousand-Year Blood War chapter, the Three Realms were shaken by the fall of the Spirit King, and the present world was the first to show signs of collapse.

If left unchecked, even a clash of spiritual power at the captain level would be enough to shatter all traces of life here.

Therefore—

Shielding and protection are essential components of the process.

Faced with Kisuke Urahara's statement, Isshin Kurosaki paused for a moment, then almost instinctively replied.

"Why the lockdown? Will it lead to a fight? It's unnecessary—isn't awakening enough?"

Kisuke Urahara gave him a deep look.

"Although I really wanted to complain, this shouldn't be Captain Matsushita's arrangement—it's your own idea, right?"

"That's not important, Manager Urahara. What exactly did you mean just now?"

Faced with Kurosaki Isshin's persistent questioning, Urahara Kisuke gave a soft "hmm," and then scratched the corner of his mouth as if he had a headache, before speaking in a helpless tone.

"It means exactly what it says—awakening Ichigo shouldn't be an easy task. After all, you must have tried it before, right?"

The latter's silence was the best response, and Kisuke Urahara took the opportunity to make a follow-up statement.

"In that case, you must also understand that the most direct way to make this power manifest is through threat."

After a pause, Kisuke Urahara looked into the distance, glancing at the two people in the arena, and repeated himself in a dreamlike whisper.

"A threat that could seriously endanger his life appeared before him—only in this way could Ichigo Kurosaki's power be unleashed. Of course, since it wasn't drawn out through legitimate means, therefore—"

Well, how should I put it?

Kisuke Urahara tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then added softly.

"So theoretically speaking, this force should also be extremely violent and uncontrollable."

Boom!

With a resounding echo that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth, a milky white halo suddenly appeared within a radius of almost thirty kilometers.

Urahara Kisuke said with a smile.

"It's a success! Although it was just theory before, it's wonderful that it's now a reality—Miss Yoruichi and everyone else have worked so hard. With the barrier jutsu, the two of them can now cause quite a ruckus."

As soon as he finished speaking...

Matsushita Hikari was already in front of Kurosaki Ichigo. She raised the short sword in her hand, took a step forward, and made a thrusting motion.

"If you don't show your true skills, you're going to die!"

In an instant, as if it were just a brief pause.

Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly raised his head.

At this moment, a hideous red and white mask appeared on his face.

"Who's going to die?! You brat!!!"
