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

Even though some time has passed, recalling the scene of that day, Inoue Orihime still has a vivid feeling of "vivid memory".

It's not because of the suffering and torture she suffered.

But on that day, Inoue Orihime clearly felt... a dying life was sending a signal called for help to the people around.

"I, on that day..."

Although the person involved did not want to admit it, it was the fact.

"I saw a trace of loneliness on your face."

The reluctance on Inoue Orihime's face was revealed as if it was real.

"You... should have a very good friend, right?"

Thoughts fell into a state of stagnation at a certain moment.

Lori Evan's eyes widened slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably, as if she was going to pull, revealing a sarcastic expression.

What a joke.

As an Arrancar, how could I have the kind of thoughts that the other person said?

Ah, right... I remember.

The guy he was talking about should be the guy named Menori Maria.

Her breathing became rapid, and a very subtle feeling surged and rolled in her heart... Lori's tone also unconsciously became a little distorted at this moment.

"Well, that guy is dead! I won't care so much about a guy who is already dead, ha! Do you think we are all as weak as humans like you?!"

Inoue Orihime pursed her lips slightly, as if she couldn't bear to look directly... She closed her eyes and turned her head slightly.

"No, it's not like that, in fact... you should miss her a lot, right?"

Shut up.

"It must be very uncomfortable to be alone. Although I don't understand the environment here, you must feel sad too."

Don't say anything more.

"The departure of your friends must be very painful for you, right? But please don't give up, don't lose to this world that only knows how to be strong."

I don't want to think about these things.

"Also, if possible, I also want to be your friend..."

"Shut up!!!"

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Lori screamed.

She leaned forward, her pretty face became extremely ferocious at this moment, and her tone was full of hysteria.

"What do you know?! You think I dare not attack you just because you are leaning against Arima Shizuka? Don't be so rude to me, a stinky woman like you!"

Verbal attacks alone are definitely not enough to vent the anger in her heart.

Lori pulled out her right hand, clenched it tightly as if to vent, and clenched it into a slightly trembling fist.

Inoue Orihime narrowed her eyes nervously and turned her head to the side, as if she was ready to be beaten.

Do you want to hit me?

That doesn't matter.

But.

"Why... are you crying?"

"..."

Lori's movements paused in the air, her lips were still tightly pursed, and her expression was extremely ferocious.

But the two shallow tear marks on her face showed her mood at the moment in another way.

The broken soul makes it difficult for the Arrancar to face their own shortcomings. Even in most cases, these beasts can only use ferocity to cover up their inner panic.

However.

This does not mean that they have no emotions.

I don't understand what happened to me, but only at this moment, Lori's desire to vent is extremely high.

It shouldn't be like this.

The strong should be on top, and guys like this who can only talk should be trampled underfoot!

'Lori, you have to live...'

In an instant.

Maria's voice appeared in my mind, like some old machine, making a long sound that makes people ache.

But in this fleeting moment, it hit the vital point accurately.

No matter what, the fist can't fall down. Lori knelt on her knees and covered her face and cried at this moment.

"..."

Staring at each other from a high position.

Inoue Orihime's expression was completely without any contempt.

It's all the same.

Everyone is actually the same...

Although she didn't know what kind of person the other person's friend was, there was only one thing the girl could do at this moment.

She slowly squatted down, stretched out her hands, and hugged Lori into her arms.

The sad cry echoed under the empty desert, and this confusing scene was reflected in Ulquiorra's eyes.

"What's up, Ulquiorra."

Arima Shizuya, who had also been watching until now, asked the person next to him with a smile.

"What do you think?"

"... I can't understand."

Although he wanted to be more conservative, there were so many doubts in his heart at this moment that even Ulquiorra frowned slightly.

"Obviously, whether it is strength or physical fitness, that human is inferior to the Arrancar."

"But... the final result is that the human suppressed the other party."

"Why is that?"

Arima Shizuya smiled and raised his right hand, patting the other party's shoulder.

"If you can understand this, Ulquiorra, your power will have a chance to go further."

That's all.

Arima Jing also turned around and returned to his own barrier.

——He still had some things to deal with and arrange, so he naturally had no extra interest in the current situation.

After all, there was not much time left.

Only Ulquiorra stayed where he was.

Looking at the figure in the distance, he showed a dull expression as if he was thinking about something, but he seemed to be unmoved.

"Strange woman..."

...

Time in Hueco Mundo was passing, and at the same time.

On the side of the real world.

Just like the original plot, Toushirou and his group appeared at the school where Ichigo Kurosaki was studying on time.

"Because of the appearance of the Arrancar, the Soul Society is also worried about the stability of the real world."

Hitsugaya Toushirou, who has become the captain of the 10th Division, was quite reliable at this time, although he still looked like a child...

"If you rely on your own strength, it is very likely that the previous situation will occur again... Of course, this does not deny your work, Ichigo Kurosaki."

If you have to describe it.

"The Soul Society believes that we should take more responsibility."

I had already prepared a long speech.

But unexpectedly, Ichigo Kurosaki was unusually cold... The other party simply responded with an expression that he would not ask any more questions.

After all, the question he was concerned about was answered at the beginning.

‘Regarding Inoue Orihime… I’m sorry, Soul Society has decided that her safety is not the top priority. ’

‘Our current job is to integrate the available manpower and make enough preparations and accumulations for the decisive battle later. ’

‘In this regard, I apologize to you on behalf of Soul Society and the Gotei 13… It was indeed our mistake that day. ’

It is a well-reasoned statement, and no matter from what angle, there is no room for refuting the other party.

But perhaps… before that, Kurosaki Ichigo had already given up the idea of ​​arguing with others?

Yeah, I understand.

The gloomy look of this boy made everyone who came to the human world a little uncomfortable.

Is this still the Shinigami agent who was "killing all around" in Soul Society before?

In comparison.

Matsumoto Rangiku seems to be able to understand some of the other party's thoughts.

“Captain, let him be alone. After all, some time ago…”

Being emotionally dull does not mean that there are no emotional fluctuations.

After expressing some emotion about Ichigo Kurosaki's experience, everyone focused their attention back on the work at hand.

The real world support team was quickly deployed.

And because of the appearance of Arima Shizuya this time, the original multiple chaos and mixed Arrancar were all suppressed in Hueco Mundo.

A correct version in 1619 book and 1 forum!

The troublemakers who wanted to make trouble were all disciplined one by one, and with the complete decentralization of Aizen Sosuke, Hueco Mundo has fallen into a strange "silent" time at this moment.

However.

Everyone can understand that this is the calm before the storm.

The day of the decisive battle will come sooner or later, but before that, everyone can make corresponding preparations.

"If it is calculated according to the normal time plan, there will probably be a lot of time until Aizen Sosuke's Hogyoku is fully awakened..."

Urahara Kisuke's expression was hidden under the fisherman's hat, and his tone was as frivolous and playful as always.

Only at this moment.

Behind that pretending to be relaxed expression, there is also a sense of inexplicable heaviness.

"Therefore, if it were me, I would recommend Kurosaki-kun to delay the time a little longer... wait until the Soul Society has integrated all its forces, and then fight the opponent. This is the safest way."

"I understand what Mr. Urahara wants to say."

Kurosaki Ichigo's tone is flat.

His outfit is complete, and even between his tightly furrowed brows, there is a sense of solemnity.

"I have thought a lot and have made my own decision."

Although doing so will be unfair to other companions, but...

"This is also what I must do."

Go to Hueco Mundo to rescue companions.

Just thinking of the other party's simple request, Urahara Kisuke's expression became a little indescribable subtlety.

"Can you tell me the reason?"

Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes drooped, revealing a little bit of reluctance, and his lips were tightly pursed into a line.

"That day... Inoue called my name."

Not other people.

"If I don't go, no one will save her."

His eyes began to become unusually firm, Kurosaki Ichigo took a deep breath, and said with an unprecedented firm tone.

"What's more...if it was Miss Yoruichi who was taken away, Manager Urahara, would you stand by and watch?"

"..."

The sharp-tongued Urahara Kisuke rarely remained silent.

And at this moment, there was such a reaction, rather than being unexpected...perhaps more of a sigh.

"You occasionally say something very interesting, Mr. Kurosaki."

That's good.

He tapped the ground with the long staff in his hand, and the weak and inaudible spiritual power soon accumulated on the ground.

Ka-ka-ka-ka...

A series of teeth-grinding echoes came, and the wind raged and blew in the basement of Urahara's store.

Not long after, a huge arched hole appeared from it.

The air could not pass through it, like spots that were blocked, and soon, a layer of transparent "film" began to appear.

It was like something invisible was being torn apart and cracked.

An uneven black turbid object appeared in the arched gate at this moment.

He was not unfamiliar with this thing.

Even the moment he saw it, Ichigo Kurosaki had already tensed his body like a conditioned reflex.

This is it.

The strange passage that took Orihime Inoue away that day.

"This is the imitation black cavity I made by imitating the energy fluctuations of the day's Arrancar."

Urahara Kisuke opened his folding fan, and his tone returned to that yin and yang tone.

"Of course, because it is a replica, there will be many restrictions and inconveniences... The most intuitive one is that only up to three people can pass through, and..."

After a pause, Urahara Kisuke said word by word.

"This is a one-way passage."

There is no doubt.

After passing through this hole, Ichigo Kurosaki will no longer have any meaningful way out.

"Kurosaki-kun, after entering Hueco Mundo, you need to find a way to rescue Inoue-san, and then find another way to leave Hueco Mundo."

"I know this sounds difficult... but in fact, this is the condition that needs to be met if you want to save your friends."

"So, what will you choose?"

No need to think for a second.

Ichigo Kurosaki said with a smile.

"I'm going!"

That's the determination.

Kisuke Urahara looked at his side with a smile, and said loudly at this moment.

"You two, if this happens, the three places will be filled."

Uryu Ishida, Yasutora Chad.

The two had been waiting here for a while.

After a brief greeting and mutual complaints, the determination of the three people was also conveyed to each other in this atmosphere.

After all, they are all partners who have passed through Soul Society, and the tacit understanding between them is self-evident.

Standing at the entrance, facing the one-way black cavity leading to Hueco Mundo, Ichigo Kurosaki took a deep breath.

As he stepped into it, Urahara Kisuke's voice came from behind.

"Mr. Kurosaki!"

Turning his head halfway, the three saw Urahara Kisuke's signature smile, and the other party raised his hand and made a farewell gesture.

"Miss Yoruichi is not that weak. Most of the time, she came to save me."

"So it is difficult for me to understand your words, but... "

"It is precisely because you are so weak that you need to be taken care of."

Have a safe journey, Kurosaki Ichigo.

Facing the other party's "blessing", the boy finally showed a signature gentle smile.

"Well, I will!"

Walking in the black cavity, the three people simply exchanged intelligence information and began to plan the corresponding itinerary and tactics.

Among them.

Ishida Uryu pressed his chest and involuntarily showed a slightly nervous expression.

This place.

There is something that his biological father asked him to ask Uryu to hand over to Arima Shizuya.
