Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training

Welcome to my kingdom.

Under this oppressive feeling like the Supreme, Inoue Orihime trembled slightly, but did not let her head fall.

It is easy to admit defeat, but if you do this.

I always feel that something invisible... will disappear because of this.

"Heh..."

I did not comment.

Aizen Sosuke turned and left, speaking lightly in a lazy tone.

"Let's adjourn."

The gathered Arrancars themselves do not have the meaning of discussion.

After all, asking the beasts to think and end is undoubtedly an act of forcing people.

So in a sense, this so-called meeting is essentially a performance art to please Aizen.

Yes, that's all.

Walking on the empty corridor, Lori, who was originally following him, did not follow him at this moment because her broken hand had not been fully restored.

But Aizen Sosuke whispered at this moment as if he was talking to himself.

"You've followed me all the way here, but you're not going to speak yet..."

After a pause, Aizen stood still and half turned his head.

"Gin?"

In the shadows.

A tall and thin figure emerged from it, half kneeling on the ground at this moment.

"Lord Aizen."

"Even you are starting to be a little awkward? Really... I thought only Yamada would behave so pedantically."

Although he sighed.

But how to judge and act like this, in the final analysis, is entirely up to others to judge.

Aizen will not intervene too much in this regard.

"So, you left Shizuya-kun and came to me. Is there something important?"

After a brief pause, as if thinking for a while, Gin lowered his head slightly and said in a subtle tone.

"Why... did you do that to that human?"

It sounds like he is asking for responsibility.

But from a practical point of view, it is essentially conveying an emotion called doubt.

This is indeed the case.

Existences like Aizen's level have reached another level of soul level.

Based on this premise, not to mention ordinary Shinigami, Arrancar... even some literal "masters" cannot touch the current level of the prison master.

The gap between the souls is like the difference between heaven and earth.

So.

Would a giant be interested in ants?

This question itself troubled Ichimaru Gin, so much so that even if he did something a little disrespectful at this moment, he still wanted to find out.

—— Thoughts in his heart kept surging.

Before he could even form a clear and coherent speech.

Aizen Sosuke in front of him had already spoken first.

"Why? It's really a helpless topic, Gin."

The King of Hueco Mundo slowly closed his eyes, and a little emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he felt sorry for something.

He said with a chuckle.

"We must pursue the meaning and reason for everything we do."

"I have experienced too many such things, and now..."

"I also want to experience occasionally, the way of being able to do whatever I want, without thinking too much, and acting completely on instinct."

Can you accept such a reason?

Without waiting for the other party to respond, the smile of the prison master gradually faded, leaving only a lonely back at this moment.

"It doesn't matter if you go to Shizuya-kun to complain, I forgive your unauthorized behavior."

"Gin, we are companions who have walked side by side since the Soul Society. Although I really want to share my various feelings with you, but..."

"You are also a similar type of person to Kaname. Even if we talk about these things, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to understand my thoughts."

Sure enough...

Even a man like you finds it difficult to understand my behavior.

A light and subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Aizen closed his eyes and walked away.

"On this aspect, I'm afraid only Shizuya-kun can understand what I'm thinking."

As the word means, he was belittled by his own leader...

But Ichimaru Gin didn't have any emotional dissatisfaction.

At this moment, he was only confused and puzzled. After all, this kind of style of acting without asking the origin and acting entirely on instinct.

It's not like what Aizen Sosuke can do at all.

So...

What went wrong?

'Is it something that only Captain Arima can understand? '

In silence, Ichimaru Gin began to slowly retreat, and he hid his figure in the shadows again.

It was as if he had never appeared...

On the other side.

The Arrancars who had already dispersed left on their own, and only two figures were left in the place.

"Can you still walk by yourself?"

Ulquiorra put his hands in his pockets and looked at Inoue Orihime from top to bottom.

There was no thought of sympathizing with women.

It was only because of his own duties and missions that he stood here at this moment.

The reason why he spoke at this moment... rather than asking, it was more like urging in another sense.

Xu would not be so weak.

It was just a swollen face, congestion, temporary blindness, or a concussion.

It was much better than breaking a limb or something.

"No, it's okay..."

Even though he said that.

But Inoue Orihime just stood up tremblingly, and then fell back weakly.

Without any change in expression, as if he was an absolutely calm observer, Ulquiorra just stared at the other party.

Until he sighed vaguely in his heart.

How weak.

Just suffering this level of damage, it is almost unable to move.

If this thing is left in the wild, it is probably not going to survive for more than a day.

"You... are troublesome."

After mumbling to himself.

He walked forward slowly and pulled the other party up directly from the ground.

"Ah..."

Inoue Orihime only had time to cry out, and the whole person was carried on the shoulders of Ulquiorra.

"Don't move casually, I don't want to waste time."

He was not big.

But the power of being an Arrancar allowed Ulquiorra to easily lift the other party and carry him on his back like a cargo.

Inoue Orihime was choking for a while in a daze.

"I'm sorry..."

"Why should I apologize?"

"I should have walked by myself..."

"That's too slow, and it doesn't make sense from an efficiency point of view."

But then again, this reaction made Ulquiorra a little curious.

"Why."

"... Eh?"

"Why can you apologize so easily to me, but can't beg for mercy to Lord Aizen?"

I couldn't figure it out.

"You can communicate normally, which means there is nothing wrong with your brain. But from the perspective of interests, I find it hard to understand your previous behavior."

Is it difficult to surrender to the strong?

Inoue Orihime pursed her swollen, congested lips.

"Because, it seems to have caused you... trouble."

She is not afraid of power in the literal sense, but she will feel ashamed of minor shortcomings.

Perhaps sensitive, perhaps slow. And such a contradictory combination is exactly the characteristics of Inoue Orihime.

It's just a pity that there is no content about this aspect. For an Arrancar without a 'heart', it was too profound.

Ulquiorra's eyes rolled around in a dull manner, and his tone was not the slightest bit turbulent.

"... What is that?"

His confused mood was not relieved at all.

However, his interest ended there.

Chatting itself was another kind of entertainment - although there was no emotional change, occasionally exploring some unknown things was also a good attempt for Ulquiorra.

Leaving the Palace of the Night.

Under the empty dome, he walked through it with Inoue Orihime.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He could feel that the person on his body was trembling slightly.

"Are you scared? Woman."

"No..."

He subconsciously wanted to say something to save face, but the words condensed in his throat, but just turned around and turned into another shape.

Tears could not stop flowing down again.

After all, it was just the mentality of an ordinary person, but at this time, who could blame her?

There was no response, but after catching the faint sobs, Ulquiorra just raised his left hand in silence.

Using his dark green spiritual pressure, he built a thin shield.

Blocking the cold wind, Inoue Orihime was stunned for a moment, and then heard Ulquiorra's calm voice coming slowly from her ear.

"I heard a statement from a certain adult."

"He believes that the power of the hollow comes from emptiness and fearlessness, and this kind of strength is just a frivolous illusion."

"Because we all have some kind of flaws."

Aloof, tyrannical, cruel, indifferent, lonely...

Different character flaws make up all the personalities of the individuals in the Ten Espadas.

"And that adult once predicted it."

"He said... as long as we can find the missing part."

"Our Arrancar's power can go further."

It's just a one-sided confession, but it won't cause dissatisfaction from others.

Because in a sense, the act of frankness itself is also a process of dissecting oneself and revealing one's heart.

Ulquiorra's eyes turned, his lifeless eyes pointed upward.

"That lord said at the end that I can find my missing parts with your help."

Therefore.

"Woman, I will be your next guard."

He clenched his fists subconsciously, although he was still very scared.

But compared with the pressure from Aizen Sosuke, Ulquiorra at this moment naturally looked much more "handsome".

Before Ichigo Kurosaki arrived.

No matter how unwilling she was, life here was a problem she had to face.

Orihime Inoue did not choose to avoid it, but took a deep breath and said in a cautious tone.

"Then... please take care of me."

"..."

No response.

The figures of the two gradually became smaller in this vast and lonely desert.

Located hundreds of kilometers away from the Kuroyoru Palace.

At the same time, it was a void desert with no people.

But now it is surrounded by shaped edges and corners, and finally turned into an extremely large square body.

Like a strange object that fell from the sky, this thing seemed so discordant and strange in Hueco Mundo.

Ulquiorra stood at the edge, silently stretched out his hand, and touched this strange-looking thing.

The sense of electric shock returned.

It is a kind of detection and analysis of spiritual power, rejecting strangers and accepting recorders - according to the person involved, this is a device similar to access control.

A crack large enough for two people to walk side by side appeared in front of him.

Ulquiorra walked in without hesitation.

And the next moment, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.

It can be seen that what appeared in front of him was a rather quaint Japanese courtyard-style building.

The sunlight was slanted, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

It was as if he had left the desolate and empty Hueco Mundo and returned to the former Soul Society.

Even Inoue Orihime couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"...Huh?"

Where is this...?

"Oh, are you here already? Sorry~ I've been a little busy these days, so I haven't been able to visit you."

A frivolous tone came from a house not far away, accompanied by a burst of short footsteps.

A moment later.

The sliding door was pulled open.

"Please come in~ I've prepared some rough tea and snacks. If you don't mind, please enjoy..."

The words could not be finished.

Because the other party saw the embarrassed look of Inoue Orihime.

The smile on his face froze for a moment, so that he couldn't help but let out a low cry of "Ah".

As for Ulquiorra, who had his hands in his pockets, he also had a dreamy expression at this moment.

So.

What's the situation now?

...

Briefly describe the things that happened not long ago.

Ulquiorra got up and left the room, choosing to stand next to the door.

After figuring out the whole story, the man in front of Inoue Orihime smiled bitterly and bowed his head slightly to her.

"I'm sorry, Inoue. I didn't expect things to develop to this point... I'm really sorry that you have suffered some unnecessary hardships because of my negligence."

"Teacher Aizen himself has no ill intentions. Rather than saying it's deliberate, it's better to say that it's a casual behavior."

"It just happened that Inoue-san ran into a situation at that time and wanted to see others in a mess."

The ease of a superior observer is the condescending attitude of Aizen.

He said a lot and was a little roundabout.

The man showed an awkward smile.

"It's a little difficult to understand, right? Then let me apologize to you on behalf of Teacher Aizen."

"I'm sorry, Inoue Orihime."

"We don't have any ill intentions."

The other party was unexpectedly easy to talk to.

But...

"Why do you know my name?"

"Ah~ That's because..."

The other party paused for a moment.

Under the wide robe, the slightly thin figure slightly turned sideways.

The unclear jawline and the tied-up long hair all highlight a sense of neutrality.

Orihime Inoue knows the other party's identity.

Shizuya Arima.

The culprit who destroyed the Soul Society's Soul Society.

It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous, after all, she had witnessed the other party's atrocities with her own eyes.

It was hard to imagine that the man who could easily erase the existence of the Soul Society would actually show such a generous expression.

And at this moment.

The other party slowly stood up, walked behind the table, and showed her an extremely calm smile.

"We can talk about that kind of thing in detail later, as for now."

"Let's take care of the injury first."

"It was hard on the way, right? You suffered unnecessary torture. It's a pity that you can stick to it."

Reaching out, Shizuya Arima patted Orihime Inoue's head.

"Compared to the time in Soul Society, you have grown a lot, Inoue-san."
