Infinite: Start as a ghost

"A Fullbringer?" Ichigo Kurosaki finally calmly observed the group.

There were four Fullbringers in total: two women and two men.

"Did Ginjo Kūgo send you?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked.

“That’s right, our mission is to protect them until you return,” Yukio said. “Now that you’re back, there’s no need for us to stay.”

"Wait, are you just going to go back like this without explaining what happened to me?" Kurosaki Ichigo immediately called out to the others.

“I believe Yincheng won’t hide the explanations from you, and we don’t know more than him anyway, so asking us won’t help,” Xuexu said. “Alright, let’s go back. Take care of your sister yourself.”

“You at least need to prove your identities to me, otherwise how can I trust you?” Kurosaki Ichigo said.

“We have no obligation to do so,” Yukio said calmly. “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. We don’t care.”

With that, he led the three of them out the door, ignoring Ichigo Kurosaki's calls.

Ichigo Kurosaki immediately called Ginjo to confirm the matter.

I hung up the phone only after confirming.

Seeing his sleeping sister, Kurosaki Ichigo breathed a sigh of relief; both of them were unharmed.

Then I started to worry about Kurosaki Isshin.

Although he had witnessed Kurosaki Isshin's exceptional strength during the battle against Aizen, the fact that his opponent could defeat him meant that he was even stronger.

He's at a loss right now.

But he won't give up; that's just his personality.

After a while, he made another phone call and summoned Inoue Orihime.

A short while later, after Orihime arrived, Kurosaki invited her into the house.

"Orihime, I'm sorry, I need to ask you to take care of me for a while."

"Kurosaki-kun, are you really not going to inform Uryu-kun and Chad-kun?"

"Well, I don't want everyone to get involved; there might be unknown dangers."

"But we're all comrades who fought together, and you'll hurt everyone if you do this."

“You understand my feelings, Orihime,” Ichigo Kurosaki said. “I just don’t want everyone to be in danger.”

"I called you over only to ask you to take care of my sister, but if those two get involved, they'll definitely be unable to resist finding out the truth for me."

Inoue Orihime thought for a while and still refused, saying, "What time is it now? We don't even know what's going on with Uncle Isshin. You don't have any spiritual power right now. If you don't rely on us, who else can you rely on?"

"I'm weak, and if something goes wrong here, I won't be able to explain myself."

Inoue threw out all his ideas at once.

Ichigo Kurosaki thought for a while, then finally sighed, "Well, that's the only way."

Inoue called Chad, while Kurosaki Ichigo contacted Ishida Uryu.

"Chad will be here in ten minutes, but what about Uryu-kun?"

"Ah, Yulong said he'd go home first and ask Uncle Longxian about the situation."

“Well then, let’s wait here,” Inoue Orihime said with a smile.

“No,” Ichigo Kurosaki said. “I need you to take care of my sister first. When Chad arrives, explain the situation to him. I’m going to Urahara Store.”

"Well, that's fine then. You must be careful, Kurosaki-kun."

"3Q, Inoue."

After a while, Ichigo Kurosaki arrived at Urahara Store.

"Miss Yoruichi, are you there?" He called out loudly before even entering.

"Here I am, here I am. Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf." Yoruichi walked out of the store while picking her ears.

"Miss Yoruichi, do you know about Fullbringers?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked.

"I know, so what?" Yoruichi asked in return.

“My father was kidnapped, it was done by a Fullbringer,” Ichigo Kurosaki said gravely. “I came here to find out more about what happened.”

"What? Isshin has been kidnapped?" Yoruichi exclaimed in surprise. "With his strength, who could kidnap him?"

“Shukurou Tsukishima,” Ichigo Kurosaki said, “a Fullbringer named Kūgo Ginjō told me about it.”

Yoruichi pondered for a moment: "The Seireitei divides spiritual pressure into twenty levels. Levels four and five are vice-captain level, and level three and above are captain level."

"Isshin's spiritual pressure level is at least level two or above, and there are very few people who can surpass him."

"Your father was most likely ambushed."

Ichigo Kurosaki asked, "Do you know anything else?"

Yoruichi shook her head: "The Fullbringer has just defected to Soul Society and become the new generation of Shinigami substitutes."

“You have lost your spiritual pressure, and they can fill the void left by you in the mortal world.”

"We don't know enough about them."

She then added, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You have lost your spiritual pressure and are powerless against them now. Go back and wait for my news."

"Don't do anything reckless. There are captain-level characters among Fullbringers."

After thinking for a moment, Kurosaki Ichigo decided to obey Yoruichi's orders for the time being and obediently go home to wait for news.

Although he has a tendency to act recklessly, he's not to the point of being unable to distinguish between what's important and what's not.

I am completely powerless right now, and I don't want to put Ishida Uryu and the others in danger, so I can only tell myself to be rational and rely on Yoruichi Shihouin.

Back home, Ichigo Kurosaki sat on the bed, looking somewhat lost, while Inoue and Chad asked him what had happened.

Kurosaki Ichigo explained everything in detail, and both of them felt that his decision was absolutely correct.

Under these circumstances, he waited anxiously for several days, but no news came from Yoruichi.

So he couldn't help but return to the Urahara store to inquire about the specifics.

But when he arrived at Urahara Store, he found that everyone had fallen into a coma.

"What's going on?" Kurosaki Ichigo exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Yoruichi!"

"Sina, Nozomi, Jinta, Yuu, why have you all fainted? Who did this?"

As she spoke, Yoruichi awoke from her pain: "Shukurou Tsukishima, his ability is dangerous, you must be careful."

After saying that, she fainted again.

"Miss Yoruichi, Miss Yoruichi!" Kurosaki Ichigo immediately pulled her into his arms, calling her name repeatedly.

Chapter 292 Restoring Spiritual Power (Part 3)

The entire Urahara store was overrun, and the only person Ichigo Kurosaki could rely on also met with an accident.

From now on, he can only rely on himself.

After putting down the phone, he made a few calls to his friends.

Inoue and Chad arrived quickly, but Ishida Uryu didn't answer the phone for some reason.

He hasn't come to school these past few days, which has made Ichigo Kurosaki very worried.

Then, he took out the business card that Ginjo Kūgo had given him and dialed the number on it.

"Ginjo Kugo".

"Moshi moshi, it's Mr. Kurosaki. Have you finally come to your senses?" On the other end of the phone, Ginjo Kugo let out a hearty laugh.

"Where are you?"

Ginjo Kūgo gave him an address.

"Wait for me, I'm coming now, I'll be there in two hours at most."

"Okay, see you in two hours."

Two hours later, in Yamagi City.

This is the temporary base of the XCUTION organization.

Because they have recently returned to the Soul Society, they are planning to relocate to Karakura Town, so this is their temporary base.

It's just a matter of time; they haven't had time to prepare yet and haven't moved in.

In the past, they might have been scattered to various spiritual lands in the mortal world to protect the entire nation.

However, there have been too many disputes in Karakura Town recently, so it is necessary to move to Karakura Town. This is the decision of Soul Society.

Two hours later, Ichigo Kurosaki stepped off the train and into the territory of Yamagi City, where Kūgo Ginjō was already waiting at the station.

"Hello," he greeted loudly.

Kurosaki Ichigo wasn't giving him a friendly look; he was in a bad mood right now.

"The Urahara Store was attacked." As soon as they met, he got straight to the point and told them everything.

While listening attentively, Ginjo Kugo led him to his base.

"Has the situation gotten this serious?" Ginjou Kūgo sighed. "It's my fault for not informing Yoruichi immediately, keeping her in the dark."

"She was unaware of Tsukishima's abilities, so it's not surprising that she fell victim to it so quickly."

Ichigo Kurosaki asked, "What is Hidekuro Tsukishima's ability?"

"His Fullbring technique is called The Book of the End," Kūgo Ginjō said solemnly. "Its ability is to alter other people's memories."

"Your father, Mr. Isshin, is very likely under his control; otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for him to launch a sneak attack on a master like Miss Yoruichi."

Kurosaki Ichigo's expression was extremely grim: "If that's the case, then Yoruichi-san is also very likely to be under his control."

"Yes, we can't rule out that possibility," Ginjo Kūgo said seriously. "If that's the case, our situation is extremely dangerous."

Ichigo Kurosaki immediately made a phone call to Orihime Inoue.

"Orihime, is Yoruichi awake?"

"No, she's still unconscious."
