Infinite: Start as a ghost

He is in a very bad mood right now because his plans have not been realized.

After much thought, I still don't know what to do next, so I can only wait for Urahara to come up with a solution.

"How about we go beat up Kurosaki Ichigo?" Jiang Jiu considered it for a moment, but finally shook his head: "Forget it, he doesn't even know me, why bother him?"

This wait lasted a whole day.

He went to Urahara Store again: "How did the negotiations go?"

Urahara handed him a cell phone: "Miss Yoruichi hasn't returned yet, and there's nothing I can do about it. I'll contact you when I have the results."

Jiang Jiu was stunned. Is it so common to give away cell phones these days?

Yukio gave him a cell phone, and now Urahara is doing the same thing?

Jiang Jiu took the phone somewhat speechlessly and put it in her pocket: "I understand, then I'll wait for your message."

Just then, Rukia arrived.

"Oh, Rukia-san, what brings you here?" Urahara said somewhat flippantly. "You don't seem too happy. Did Kurosaki-kun bully you?"

For reasons unknown, Rukia appeared somewhat saddened at this moment.

"It's nothing." She just stood quietly at the entrance of Urahara Store, not buying anything, but just standing there quietly, carefully observing the people working busily inside.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Jiu asked.

"It's none of your business." Rukia's expression suddenly turned fierce. "Mind your own business."

As she spoke, she suddenly ran away, leaving Jiang Jiu completely bewildered.

"What's wrong with her?" Jiang Jiu was completely baffled by the scene before her.

Kisuke Urahara sighed, "It seems the time is almost up."

Jiang Jiu asked curiously, "What time?"

Kisuke Urahara smiled, but there was no hint of frivolity in his smile; it seemed more like a forced one. "Does our esteemed guest know Rukia's identity?"

Jiang Jiu said, "I would like to hear the details."

After Kisuke Urahara finished speaking, Jiang Jiu remembered the rest of the plot.

"Is that so?" he asked. "So, the Soul Society is about to send people to capture her?"

Urahara said, "I'm afraid so."

Jiang Jiu was silent for a while: "Alright, it seems I can't help with this."

"Aren't you going to help, sir?" Urahara asked, somewhat surprised. "I thought you were a chivalrous person."

Jiang Jiu glanced at him: "I don't know if it's chivalry or not, but I know that going against Soul Society is suicide. Am I tired of living?"

Urahara laughed and said, "That's true."

Jiang Jiu stroked his chin: "However, we can help her in other ways."

Urahara seemed to have guessed Jiang Jiu's thoughts and exchanged a smile with him.

Chapter 17 Disciplining Ichigo Kurosaki

The next day, Jiang Jiu went to find Rukia alone.

“I have a general understanding of your situation, and you need help,” he said, getting straight to the point.

"What do you know about me?" Rukia said coldly. "So what if you know? Did Urahara tell you?"

“Yes, he told me,” Jiang Jiu said. “What do you think will happen to Kurosaki Ichigo after he finds out?”

"Who are you? Why are you meddling in my business?" Rukia said, her expression not very pleasant.

"Who I am is not important. The reason I helped is because I made some deals with Urahara," Jiang Jiu said. "I hope you can look at these things rationally. I believe it will be a good thing for you and for Kurosaki Ichigo."

"Don't meddle in other people's business," Rukia said in a deep voice. "You talk as if you know so much about us."

"Of course I don't know. Everything was told to me by Mr. Urahara," Jiang Jiu said with a smile. "So, what do you think the Kurosaki Ichigo you know would do?"

"Will I abandon you completely, or will I give up everything to save you?"

"Given his personality, I believe he would be willing to risk his life to save you, right?"

Seeing Rukia begin to waver, Jiang Jiu added, "He'll be the one protecting you then. I won't go against Soul Society for your sake."

Rukia fell silent for a moment before saying, "What should I do?"

Jiang Jiu said with some regret, "We can't save you, but we can save him."

"What do you plan to do?" Rukia asked.

“As I said before, learn my swordsmanship,” Jiang Jiu said with a smile.

"Are you kidding me?" Lucia snapped. "What do you expect him to learn in such a short time?"

"Besides, what does your swordsmanship amount to in the face of the power of Soul Society?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jiu summoned the Ghost Fang Blade.

"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap Flash..."

To Rukia's astonishment, Jiang Jiu vanished from her sight.

When he reappeared, Jiang Jiu was already at the other end of the street, and three trees by the roadside had been cut down.

"Well, can you feel my spiritual pressure?" Jiang Jiu asked with a smile.

"How did you do that?" Rukia asked in disbelief. "You definitely didn't use any spiritual power."

“That’s why I told you to have him learn from me,” Jiang Jiu said. “According to the normal process in Soul Society, it will take another half a month to reach the human world.”

"He has enough time to master certain moves."

Rukia was smitten; Ichigo Kurosaki's safety was now her top priority.

"I understand, I'll go find him," Rukia said. "How will you find him then?"

Jiang Jiu said, "Let's go to Central Park. No one will bother us there at night."

"Okay," Rukia replied, bidding farewell to Jiang Jiu.

Time flies, and night falls.

Kurosaki Ichigo, dressed in his Shinigami uniform, arrived at the park and met Jiang Jiu.

"What are you doing here?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked, unaware of what was going on.

He was tricked by Rukia into coming here, who told him that there was a Hollow here who was very good at hiding its spiritual pressure.

"Of course, I want to fight you," Jiang Jiu laughed. "Don't you know?"

Ichigo Kurosaki was speechless: "That Rukia guy."

"Hey, my time is precious, I don't have time to waste on you."

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly: "Breath of the Moon, First Form, Dark Moon, Palace of the Clouds..."

"Hey, what are you trying to do?" Kurosaki Ichigo immediately drew his Zanpakuto from his back to defend himself.

Jiang Jiu did not answer him, but continued her attack.

"Moon Breathing O Second Form O Pearl Moon Dance..."

"You bastard!" Kurosaki Ichigo held his sword horizontally again to continue blocking.

"Is that all you've got?" Jiang Jiu slung the Ghost Fang Blade over his shoulder. "It's totally not up to par, you know."

"You bastard, what exactly do you want?" Kurosaki Ichigo said angrily.

Jiang Jiu shook his head: "It seems you really aren't any good material. After taking those two moves from me, didn't you really notice anything wrong with it?"

"Don't try to be mysterious, there's nothing wrong with it," Ichigo Kurosaki said.

"Don't you know?" Jiang Jiu laughed. "Then try taking another move from me."

"Hey, stop! Hey!" Kurosaki Ichigo shouted.

"Breathing of the Moon, Form Three, Aversion to the Moon, Erosion..."

Jiang Jiu completely ignored his shouting and launched another attack.

This time, he intensified his attack, and Ichigo Kurosaki was completely unable to withstand it.

He was knocked away and had several cuts on his body.

"Damn it!" Kurosaki Ichigo immediately stood up, half-kneeling on the ground, panting as he said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Haven't you noticed yet?" Jiang Jiu said speechlessly, "You're too slow."

"What exactly do you want?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked angrily.

Jiang Jiu scratched his head helplessly: "Didn't you notice that my attack only contained just enough spiritual power to hurt you?"

"The spiritual pressure inside is less than one-tenth of yours."

"Don't you want to think about how you got injured?"

"What?" Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned; he hadn't noticed that at all.

"Sigh, you really don't understand Rukia's thoughts at all," Jiang Jiu sighed.

"What are you even talking about?" Ichigo Kurosaki was getting a little frustrated.

Chapter 18 Becoming an Apprentice

"What did you say?" Jiang Jiu said helplessly, "Can't you tell that she asked me to teach you?"

"Why?" Ichigo Kurosaki asked, puzzled. "I can already defeat a Hollow, so why are you in such a hurry to teach me?"

"According to what she said before, there are very few Shinigami who can defeat Hollows, so I should be considered a strong one, right?"

"A strong person?" Jiang Jiu laughed loudly: "The strong person you're talking about is the one I beat to his knees?"

Kurosaki Ichigo blushed, somewhat embarrassed and angry.
