Chapter 70

It was also the way for the protagonist group, including Kurosaki Ichigo, to enter the Seireitei!

The protagonist group, Aizen, Hueco Mundo, the Thirteen Court Guard Squads…

The various factions intertwined, forming the greatest climax of the early plot!

And Aizen also became famous overnight from that one battle.

Becoming the most memorable and most charismatic villain in the original work.

"Old man Yamamoto, you really do care about me."

How could Kashiwagi Sajin, who was straining to conceal himself, possibly escape Kuchiki Senya's eyes?

In the pavilion beside the wine pool and meat forest.

A spiritual pressure that was straining to stay hidden was laid completely bare before Kuchiki Senya.

However.

Kuchiki Senya merely smiled lightly.

The current Kashiwagi Sajin, among the captains, could only be considered mediocre.

A giant.

Why would he care about the surveillance of an ant?

……

Soul Society.

Rukongai.

A strange group of four people and one cat gathered together.

Kurosaki Ichigo, with fierce eyes, a head of Huang Mao, wielding an enormous Zanpakuto, and clad in a black Shihakushō.

Sado Yasutora, with dark skin, a tall stature, and bulging muscles all over his body.

Ishida Uryū, wearing glasses, of slender build, and white gloves.

And Inoue Orihime, with orange-red hair, gray-blue eyes, a neat Liu Hai hanging over her forehead, and a sparkling hairpin in her hair!

The protagonist group's F4.

With resolute expressions, they headed toward the Shihōin clan's residence mentioned by the black cat.

There.

Was a way to enter the Seireitei!

"So that's captain-level strength…" Ishida Uryū frowned tightly, his face full of worry.

Earlier.

Before the gates of the Seireitei.

That narrow-eyed man, with the cold, venomous-snake-like aura, had sliced off Sajin Komamura's arm in a single slash.

Another slash had directly forced back the strongest among them—Kurosaki Ichigo!

"Ichimaru Gin, captain of the Third Division. Given your strength, losing is only natural."

Beside them.

The black cat with a raspy voice stretched lazily. "Even after special training, you still haven't reached captain level. Even if you enter the Seireitei, you can't be too conspicuous."

· ·· Seeking flowers·· ·

"Remember, our goal is to rescue Rukia!"

"Try to avoid fighting strong enemies."

The black cat's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Have you memorized the advice I gave you?"

"We've memorized it." Kurosaki Ichigo and the others nodded, with a solemn demeanor. "We absolutely must not provoke the old man with a cane."

"We must not provoke the young man drinking on the street."

Inoue Orihime's face was full of confusion. "This request is a little strange."

The old man with a cane, the young man drinking.

Where does the danger sound like it's coming from?

"When the time comes, you'll understand."

Yoruichi, who had transformed into a black cat, merely narrowed her eyes and let out a lazy yawn.

……

"Alert!"

"Alert!"

"Intruders from the World of the Living have infiltrated! Intruders from the World of the Living have infiltrated!"

Within the Seireitei.

Warning cries rose one after another. Countless Shinigami patrolling the streets, and captains stationed at various positions.

All saw it in the sky.

The barrier composed of Sekkiseki—a substance that seals all spiritual power—was being savagely torn and battered!

The Sekkiseki barrier, which even captain-level combatants could not resist, had now developed cracks as fine and dense as a spider's web!

"Can they break into the Seireitei using this method as well?"

The scientist Mayuri Kurotsuchi's voice sounded strange; his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an interested expression.

"How interesting. Finally, I can have a proper slaughter." Kenpachi Zaraki's lips curled, his eyes brimming with the battle intent of a hunter discovering prey.

The other captains.

Kashiwagi Sajin, Unohana Retsu, Kyōraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jūshirō……

No matter where they were, they raised their heads and stared fixedly at the sky above.

Accompanied by a "Crack~".

......... 0

The killing-intent stone shield could hold out no longer, splitting open with a massive gap!

And the figures of the Ryoka scattered through the air as several beams of escape light, dispersing to every corner of Seireitei!

"Relay the order."

"All thirteen Court Guard squads, deploy in full force. Find the Ryoka and capture them on sight!"

With a single order from headquarters.

The entire Seireitei sprang into action!

A Ryoka with the combat power of a vice-captain is comparable to a great Hollow entering Seireitei — well worth this level of attention!

……

Wine Pools and Meat Forests.

Kuchiki Senya listened to the clamor outside and lazily raised his head.

From atop a pavilion several hundred meters high, he looked down at the Seireitei in utter chaos.

As well as the "main cast" scattered across various locations.

Even the subtlest of movements could not escape his gaze.

Perhaps.

It was the butterfly effect — this time, Shiba Kaien did not come; only the original cast of four.

Kurosaki Ichigo.

Inoue Orihime.

Sado Yasutora.

Shi Tianyu.

And the black cat Yoruichi had transformed into.

However.

Shiba Kaien, Inoue Orihime, and the others were merely bit players. Among the main cast, the true rescue force was still Kurosaki Ichigo!

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

Two tremendous crashes rang out at the gates of Wine Pools and Meat Forests!

Followed by the sound of rubble shattering and the gurgle of flowing water.

"Damn it!"
