Infinite: Start as a ghost

"Uncle, uncle, I need to... I need to properly teach and guide others to have the right values, yes, that's it." "So I have to participate in this kind of thing, I certainly can't refuse."

Lisa suddenly said, "Actually, you could try cooperating with the Ōmaeda family in the early stages; they have both manpower and land."

"They have branches in almost all of the first thirty districts of Rukongai. You can cooperate with them; it's easy and profitable."

Ginjou Kugo: "Finally, a more reasonable suggestion."

“No way,” Shiba Ganju immediately retorted. “My sister works in the noble district. Wouldn’t doing this be tantamount to openly telling her?”

Tang Guanyin Temple asked, "What does the Ōmaeda family do?"

“It’s a large trading company,” Lisa explained. “They mostly deal in jewelry. The vice-captain of the Second Division is the only son of the Ōmaeda family, Ōmaeda Kichiyo.”

Tang Guanyin Temple pondered for a moment: "What is the personality of that Ōmaeda Kichiyo like?"

"Greedy and lecherous, he's a despicable fellow," Lisa said decisively.

"That makes things easier," Tang Guanyin Temple said. "We'll partner with him, hire other people, and he'll probably want to earn some pocket money too, right?"

"Have him sign a confidentiality agreement so that the goods don't have to go through the inspection of the noble street, thus perfectly avoiding the Seireitei."

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

Chapter 264 He

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the present world, on the desolate outskirts outside Karakura Town.

Hidekuro Tsukishima and several others lay on the ground, seriously injured, while Aura stood to the side, completely unharmed.

"Why did you lure us to the outskirts of the mountains just to attack us?" Tsukishima Hidekuro asked with difficulty. "Is this Tsunayoshiro Tokinada's idea? What benefit do you get from this?"

“No, this is what I mean,” Aura said elegantly. “Lord Shitan only ordered me to obtain specific information about you. I believe that fighting you is the best way.”

"If I explain my purpose to you, it's hard to guarantee that you won't hide some of your abilities."

"Therefore, I am deeply sorry for this reckless behavior."

"Get out!" Tsukishima Hidekuro roared. "Get out of here right now, we don't want to see you again."

“Alright, please allow me to sincerely apologize to you again.” Aura said with a smile, “For this, I have decided to grant you one request: I will find Mr. Ghost and help you take revenge.”

"Get lost." Tsukishima Hidekuro simply repeated this word.

Aura chuckled again and vanished silently from the spot.

Aura left, and the others gradually got up.

“Let’s go back and continue investigating Kurosaki Isshin,” Tsukishima Hidekuro said through gritted teeth. “We can’t rely on anyone, so this is the only way we can go. We need to find a way to trick Kurosaki Ichigo into giving us his Fullbringer power to strengthen us.”

"We can no longer be trampled on at will, or easily defeated by anyone. We must become stronger."

"Absolutely! We must not let this happen again!"

At the same time, at Kurosaki's private clinic.

Kurosaki Isshin sat listlessly in his office.

He's been quite idle ever since the Fourth Division took over from him.

Jiang Jiu deliberately revealed his whereabouts, and everyone in the world lost their reason to stay.

A year is enough time for everyone to complete all the handover work in the mortal world and evacuate back to Seireitei, except for the Fourth Division.

The Fourth Division had actually been preparing to leave long ago, but with Ishida Ryugen's hospitalization, Karakura General Hospital's business plummeted, and Kurosaki's private clinic was being looked after by the elites of the Fourth Division, so their business suddenly became incredibly hot, and they really couldn't free up their hands for a while.

However, after a year of recuperation, Ryugen Ishida's health has almost fully recovered. He has been out of bed for more than a month, and business at the Karakoram General Hospital is slowly recovering.

Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Wake were summoned back to the Seireitei, but Yoruichi is still in the human world, so Yoruichi is now the manager of Urahara's shop.

As a result, Kurosaki Isshin really had nothing to do.

Suddenly, his office door was opened, and upon closer inspection, it was Ishida Ryūken.

He burst in, carrying a briefcase.

"Why are you here?" Kurosaki Isshin asked in surprise.

Ever since Ichigo followed Isshin Kurosaki, he has never given him a kind look, let alone taken the initiative to come and find him like today.

“I need you to keep this safe.” Ishida Ryūgen looked at him with a serious expression: “You must not lose it. This is of utmost importance and may even directly affect the course of the Three Realms.”

Upon hearing this, even the usually carefree Kurosaki Isshin put away his playful smile and took the box.

"Can I confirm what's inside?" he asked cautiously.

"Can……"

With permission, Kurosaki carefully opened the briefcase, where he found a broken arrowhead.

"This is……"

"Silver-clad sacred arrows." Ishida Ryugen's eyes held a hint of melancholy. "These were made from silver blood clots extracted from Ye Hui's body."

"What?" Kurosaki Isshin exclaimed in shock, "Why would you entrust me with something so valuable?"

“Just in case,” Ryugen Ishida said, “you know, I was attacked by Mr. Oni a year ago.”

"I can't guarantee he won't attack me again."

"So, I hope you can keep it for me and keep it a secret."

"If I were to die, this thing could be used to prevent someone from dying."

"Who?" Kurosaki Isshin asked.

“Don’t ask,” Ryūgen Ishida said. “I can’t tell you more. If she really shows up, you’ll know who I’m talking about.”

"If you hand him over to me, will the result be any different?" Kurosaki Isshin's mindset returned to that of a carefree person: "He can kill you, and he can kill me. Having him here won't have much effect."

“No,” Ishida Ryūken said, “He has negotiated with Seireitei, so the possibility of him attacking you is almost nonexistent.”

“I am different from you. I am a Quincy and do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Seireitei.”

"If he really attacks me again, Soul Society will not intervene."

"You're overthinking it." Kurosaki Isshin closed the briefcase again and tossed it back to Ishida Ryuken: "If he wanted to kill you, you should have died the first time. How could you still be alive?"

"A man like you can't even consider this?" Kurosaki Isshin said silently. "Is it because of Katagiri Hae?"

"You mean that man? Was he the cause of Katagiri Hae's death?"

Ryūgen Ishida remained silent.

"Then... what about Masaki?" Kurosaki Isshin's tone suddenly turned cold: "Was her death caused by the same reason, the same person, as Yoru's death?"

Ryūgen Ishida remained silent.

"Why won't you tell me now?" Kurosaki Isshin stood up. "Ichigo and Uryu are one thing, but are you even keeping it from me?"

"I'm afraid you'll go and get yourself killed."

"Why don't you go and die? Why are you so calm?"

"They are Masaki and Hae!"

"Before Masaki became my wife, she was your fiancée!"

"Ye Hui, she is also Yu Long's biological mother."

"Why don't you go and take revenge? With the two of us, can't we take revenge?"

As he got to the heart of the matter, Kurosaki Isshin shouted.

Faced with such an attitude, Ishida Ryūgen remained unfazed: "Yes, the two of us are not enough."

"Let alone the two of us, even the entire Seireitei might not be enough."

Kurosaki Isshin is very clever; he never lost control of his emotions from beginning to end, it was just a performance.

He also knew that this kind of "reverse psychology" was completely useless against Ishida Ryūken. He knew that Ishida Ryūken was just waiting for him to bring up a topic so that he could naturally continue talking.

“I can’t talk about his topic, or he’ll find out,” Ishida Ryūken said quietly. “I can only tell you one thing.”

"Time is almost up."

Kurosaki Isshin suddenly realized that he finally understood the real reason why Ishida Ryūken had come to him at this moment.

Chapter 265 Aura's Test

Several more days have passed.

In the present world, Ryūgen Ishida eventually brought the Silver Sacred Arrow back with him.

The Seireitei is coming back to life, and although everyone is extremely busy, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Fullbringers are also working hard towards their goals.

But undercurrents were always surging, and conspiracies never ceased.

Inside the noble district, Tsunayoshi Tokinada awaits his opportunity.

In the Great Void Forest, Jie Zhiqing and Chan Juanyan are relentlessly hunting down Void creatures.

Within the realm of reincarnation, Mayuri Kurotsuchi is researching how to optimize her spirit remains and her own body.

Inside the Technology Development Bureau, Kisuke Urahara was studying the arrows that had fallen from Aizen's body with a serious expression.

He didn't tell anyone about this discovery; the entire Seireitei was unaware of the arrow's existence.

It was this arrow that interrupted Aizen's absorption of the Soul Society for a moment, allowing everyone to defeat him successfully.

He was studying the composition and function of arrows, as well as analyzing their origins.

Inside the Avici Hell.

The four members of the Zero Division and Retsu Unohana are engaged in endless training with Kenpachi Zaraki.

Kenpachi Zaraki's strength has also broken through, or rather, recovered to a terrifying level.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and everything seemed so peaceful.

Until... Doyane Genora arrived in Hueco Mundo.
