Chapter 81: The Wedding of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha

One month later.

The Hidden Leaf Village suddenly became bustling.

Every household was decorated with lanterns and streamers.

Smiles bloomed on the faces of every villager.

For no other reason,

than that the wedding date of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was drawing near.

This served as a testament to how deeply Hashirama Senju was loved by the people.

"I'm basking in Hashirama's glory; if I were getting married alone, they probably wouldn't be this happy."

Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha stood atop the Hokage Rock, gazing at the sea of people below; for the first time, a hint of envy flickered in his eyes.

Izuna Uchiha felt the same envy.

Being in charge of the Anbu Black Ops certainly meant holding power, but it also caused those around him to constantly distance themselves.

After all, normal people would naturally feel fear toward such a specialized force.

"Lord Madara, I don't think so. The Teacher is certainly worthy of respect, but many of these voices are also offering blessings to you."

"Instead of standing here aloofly watching, why not walk into the crowd and listen for yourself?"

"I believe the result will not disappoint you."

Chu Yang appeared behind the two brothers, smiling as he handed over a scroll. He did not know the contents; it was something Tobirama Senju had instructed him to deliver to Madara Uchiha.

"Kid, I heard you've already mastered the secret techniques of those four ninja villages?"

Madara Uchiha took the scroll from Chu Yang, his eyes filled with amusement as he teased, "Those are secret techniques with completely different chakra natures. In just one month, even Tobirama Senju would find that difficult to achieve, wouldn't he?"

Chu Yang said sincerely, "I learned them under the Teacher's guidance, but I still have to thank you, Lord Madara. If not for you, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to study these secret techniques."

Madara Uchiha smiled. "You praised your teacher while flattering me; for someone so young, you're quite seamless in your conduct."

Chu Yang chuckled.

Izuna Uchiha asked, "Did you come here because of the wedding?"

Chu Yang nodded. "The customs for weddings in the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan are different. Since the two of you intend to hold the wedding simultaneously, the details must be discussed thoroughly, otherwise, I'm afraid it will become a laughingstock."

Madara Uchiha grew impatient, frowning. "Didn't I say, do whatever is convenient for you all? I don't care about these things."

Chu Yang scratched his head in a dilemma. "The problem is, Teacher Hashirama said the same thing..."

"That guy Hashirama!" Madara Uchiha laughed in frustration, shaking his head helplessly before nodding. "Understood. I'll go back and discuss it with him; we'll try our best not to make things difficult for you juniors."

Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, grateful. "Thank you very much, Lord Madara."

Madara Uchiha's gaze suddenly rested on Chu Yang, staring for quite a while before saying slowly, "From now on, don't call me 'Lord' anymore. Just like you call Hashirama, call me 'Teacher'."

Chu Yang froze.

What was this about? Chu Yang's hesitation caused Madara Uchiha's expression to gradually darken. He said coldly, "What? Is my strength inferior to Hashirama's, so I'm not qualified to be your teacher?"

The bone-chilling cold brought Chu Yang back to his senses. He immediately waved his hands. "I didn't mean that at all, it's just so sudden, I'm a bit bewildered..."

"Brother, stop scaring him." Izuna Uchiha laughed and brushed it off. "He can't make this decision; you should talk to Lord Hashirama later."

"That's true." Madara Uchiha nodded, no longer being aggressive.

Chu Yang always felt that these two brothers were playing good cop, bad cop, as if they were targeting him.

"Just a moment ago, Teacher Tobirama received news that the other four Kage will personally attend to offer their blessings."

Chu Yang quickly stated the main reason he had come, wanting to get away from these two brothers as soon as possible.

"Heh, blessings? The fact that Mito Uzumaki, the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, is marrying Hashirama must have made them unable to sit still, right?"

"They just want to come and see the situation in Konoha; they haven't given up yet!"

"Let them come! After this wedding, their remaining ambitions will be thoroughly ground into powder!"

After Madara Uchiha finished speaking, Chu Yang made an excuse and left.

Izuna Uchiha watched his retreating back and turned to Madara Uchiha. "Brother, didn't we agree to take it slow? Why are you suddenly being impatient again?"

Madara Uchiha shook his head. "I was just testing this kid's attitude. If he's so resistant to becoming my disciple, how would he ever marry a woman from the Uchiha Clan in the future?"

Izuna Uchiha sighed. "For the continuation of the clan, you really have gone to great pains."

Madara Uchiha smiled. "The current situation is good enough. As for Yang... it's my own greed. I've never been jealous of that guy Hashirama in my life, except for this matter of taking on a disciple..."

The two brothers chatted for a while longer before setting off together for the Hokage's office, where Tobirama Senju was currently handling government affairs.

Everything would only return to normal after the wedding concluded.

The fact that the four Kage were coming in person delayed the original wedding by a few more days.

Several days later.

Convoys from the Four Great Nations arrived in the Hidden Leaf Village one after another.

The other small nations, led by the Land of Iron, formed an alliance to come and celebrate the wedding.

The Hidden Leaf Village had distributed the Seven-Tails to them, which was a great favor, representing that those small nations could use this to consolidate a force capable of contending with the Five Great Nations.

This was the most practical way to achieve peace.

If the Four Great Nations coming to attend the wedding was a manifestation of submission, then the small nation alliance was a sincere expression of gratitude and blessing.

Chu Yang could identify this from their expressions.

As soon as the four Kage arrived, they headed straight for the Hokage's reception room.

When they passed by Chu Yang, their gazes were not as friendly as before.

A single Nine-Tails was enough to shatter all their sense of security.

As the only personal disciple of Hashirama Senju, Chu Yang was responsible for taking care of and receiving these important guests.

After these people entered the room, Chu Yang kept watch until Tobirama Senju arrived.

The Uchiha brothers were also there.

These three people were likely the three most dangerous people in all of Konoha! Hashirama Senju was not present.

Clearly, he was seen by them as an obstructive and superfluous presence.

With his good-natured personality, he would indeed hinder the performance of the three of them.

Chu Yang suddenly felt that the four Kage were a bit pitiful.

Because these people were about to face an embarrassing situation where they could neither win an argument nor win a fight.

Tobirama Senju patted Chu Yang on the shoulder, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha followed closely behind.

The chilling cold made goosebumps break out all over Chu Yang's body.

He quickly closed the door.

It was the last bit of face he could preserve for these four Kage.

Chu Yang stood outside the room, unable to hear a single sound.

It was terrifyingly quiet.

Also keeping watch outside the room were the soon-to-be-succeeded Second Kage.

They looked even more nervous than Chu Yang.

Time ticked by, second by second.

The people outside didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

*Creak... * The door was opened.

The guards outside immediately went to meet them.

Chu Yang turned his head and saw the four Kage walking out slowly.

Whether it was Chu Yang's imagination or not, their faces looked somewhat pale.

The four Kage didn't say a word, and accompanied by their guards, they left in a hurry.

Chu Yang walked into the room and saw Tobirama Senju and the Uchiha brothers still sitting there calmly.

Chu Yang grinned and said, "Judging by the reaction of those Kage, the Teacher must have said something extraordinary."

Tobirama Senju's mouth curled up slightly.

Izuna Uchiha said brightly, "We did say some harsh words, which scared those guests quite a bit."

"However, they should recognize reality, so as not to bring shame upon themselves in the end."

Madara Uchiha stood up and said indifferently, "Hmph! A bunch of idiots. The peace they have now is only because we are willing to give it to them. Since they can't even understand such a simple thing, they dare to negotiate terms with us!"

Chu Yang asked in surprise, "What terms did they propose?"

A flash of cold light appeared in Tobirama Senju's eyes. "The Senju Clan, the Uchiha Clan, and the Hyuga Clan—they each wanted one member of the clan..."

"Tsk tsk, they really set their sights on Kekkei Genkai..." Chu Yang shook his head helplessly. "These people are really greedy enough."

Izuna Uchiha sneered. "So, we gave them a warning."

Chu Yang teased gleefully, "I hope those lords still have the mood to attend the upcoming wedding."

Tobirama Senju stood up and said meaningfully, "They will."

Three days later.

The grand wedding was officially held.

Just as Tobirama Senju had said, the four Kage attended the wedding with full smiles, without showing the slightest bit of reluctance.

They appeared very happy, feeling even happier than if they were getting married themselves.

The four newlyweds.

Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki.

Madara Uchiha and another woman named Mai Uchiha.

They were joined as husband and wife under the witness of countless people.

Chu Yang didn't know if Madara Uchiha liked this woman, but at least he didn't seem to dislike her.

Bleach World.

A long time had passed since the incident with Yosuke Honkawa.

Karakura First High School had just finished its midterm exams.

Chu Yang had undoubtedly become the top of the class.

Ichigo Kurosaki was third in the class.

In the school-wide rankings, Chu Yang was still first, while Ichigo Kurosaki had dropped to fifteenth.

Good grades, excellent athletic ability, unsociable, and a loner.

Classmates often compared the two who had similar styles.

In a sense, Ichigo Kurosaki had become Chu Yang's background board.

Whenever others asked, Ichigo Kurosaki would say he didn't care, but in reality, his curiosity about Chu Yang was stronger than any other student in the class.

Because others hadn't seen the scene of Chu Yang fighting a Hollow with his bare hands.

Ichigo Kurosaki still remembered it vividly to this day.

Why is this person so powerful? What was that "Fullbring" the Soul Reaper mentioned that day? Do I have similar powers?

For a period of time, similar questions plagued Ichigo Kurosaki.

He originally had no interest in power at all.

But because of Chu Yang, Ichigo Kurosaki had developed a vague sense of competitiveness.

Just as Ichigo Kurosaki was competing with Chu Yang in his heart,

he and Rukia met by chance again.

Rukia was chasing a Hollow.

Ichigo Kurosaki originally didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but as soon as he thought of Chu Yang, he followed along as if possessed.

As a result, Ichigo discovered that the Hollow was attacking his family.

Fortunately, Ichigo's appearance caused the Hollow to shift its target.

Ichigo wanted to counterattack, but was sent flying by the Hollow.

He was no match for it at all.

"So this is what it feels like to fight a Hollow?"

Ichigo Kurosaki was covered in blood, but his consciousness was very clear; his mind was filled with the image of Chu Yang fighting the Hollow.

Why? He could do such a thing? But I can't?

Seeing that Ichigo was about to be killed by the Hollow, Rukia blocked the fatal blow for Ichigo at the critical moment.

"Idiot, if you keep spacing out like this, you won't be able to protect your family!"

Ichigo Kurosaki finally came to his senses and quickly asked Rukia what to do now.

Rukia stabbed her Zanpakuto into Ichigo's body.

All the power belonging to a Soul Reaper was domineeringly absorbed into Ichigo's body.

Ichigo became a Soul Reaper!

Facing the aggressive Hollow, Ichigo raised his Zanpakuto high, and the terrifying spiritual pressure poured down like mercury.

With just one slash, Ichigo cut the Hollow in two!

After slaying the Hollow, Ichigo hadn't even had time to get excited before everything went black.

When he woke up again, it was the next morning.

Strangely, neither his father nor his two sisters remembered what happened last night.

"Could it be that I was dreaming?"

Looking at the house that looked like it had been baptized by a tornado, Ichigo dismissed that idea.

What happened last night was real.

On the way to school, Ichigo would sometimes lower his head and stare at his own hands; he couldn't believe that these hands had slain a Hollow last night.

"I wonder who is stronger, me in Soul Reaper state or Yang..."

Filled with curiosity, Ichigo pushed open the classroom door.

He was looking toward Chu Yang's side, but instead saw an unexpected figure.

Ichigo froze completely.

Rukia was standing next to Chu Yang, the two of them laughing and talking.

She was even wearing the school uniform! "What is going on?"

Lunch break.

The three of them gathered on the school rooftop.

Rukia explained her current state to Ichigo and Chu Yang.

Only then did Ichigo realize that he had absorbed all of Rukia's power.

Chu Yang picked his ear; he had known the ins and outs of the situation all along.

"I will stay here for a while until I recover my power. I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

Rukia looked toward Chu Yang, feeling a bit uneasy. In her impression, Chu Yang didn't seem like an easy person to talk to.

"I know. If there's nothing else, I'll head back first." Chu Yang yawned and walked toward the stairwell.

"You just agreed like that?"

Rukia stared at him blankly.

"What else would I do?" Chu Yang turned his head in surprise, then walked away.

Rukia turned to Ichigo and said, "I thought he would demand something from me, after all, I am a Soul Reaper."

"He's not that kind of person." Ichigo shook his head, then walked toward the stairwell. "Alright, I'm ready to head back..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ichigo felt someone punch the back of his head hard.

"You guy, you actually ambushed me!"

Ichigo Kurosaki turned around in anger.

He suddenly discovered that his body had fallen to the ground, and looking down, he realized he was already in spiritual form.

"You just became a Soul Reaper, there are many things you don't know, I have to give you a remedial lesson."

On the other side, Chu Yang, who knew the plot had begun, was considering whether he should intervene.

He was very interested in the power of Zanpakuto and Kido.

The "self" in other worlds also needed such power.

And to obtain a Zanpakuto and Kido, the best way was to follow Ichigo Kurosaki into the Soul Society.

Chu Yang, lost in thought, didn't notice that he had bumped into a student while walking downstairs.

Magically, neither of them was injured.

It was like two walls colliding.

Chu Yang looked up at the boy who was a head taller than him.

Yasutora Sado!

Sado had been very troubled lately.

Ever since he got a parrot from a friend last time, he had become very unlucky.

It wasn't just as simple as choking on cold water.

Either he was almost hit by a heavy object falling from the sky, or he was almost hit by a car.

In short, every time it was a life-threatening disaster.

This made Sado absent-minded, so he intended to go to the rooftop for some air, but ended up bumping into Chu Yang.

"I'm sorry." Sado subconsciously held Chu Yang's shoulder to apologize.

As a result, he discovered that Chu Yang stood very steadily, with no sign of falling.

"I'm fine." Chu Yang waved his hand, looking at the haggard Sado, and asked, "Your complexion looks quite serious, have you not been resting well lately?"

Sado hesitated, but finally shook his head, indicating he was fine.

Chu Yang smiled. "I heard that the parrot you brought to school today is the 'cursed parrot' that has been making quite a stir lately?"

Sado asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"I said I heard about it." Chu Yang patted Sado on the shoulder and reminded him, "If there's anything wrong, you can tell Ichigo Kurosaki; he can handle it."

"Ichigo?"

Sado wanted to ask why, but found that Chu Yang had already walked away.

After school, Sado walked home along the same route as usual, only there was an exquisite birdcage in his hand, containing a parrot.

The parrot was eerily quiet, and occasionally revealed a human-like gaze in its eyes.

Neither the human nor the parrot noticed that Chu Yang was silently following behind them.

Hidden inside this parrot was the soul of a human child named Yuichi.

Yuichi's soul had been forcibly stuffed into the parrot's body by a Hollow.

It did this for revenge.

When that Hollow was still human, he was a heinous murderer. Once, when committing a crime, he targeted Yuichi and his mother. Yuichi's mother was killed by the murderer to protect him, and Yuichi, in his panic, pulled on the murderer's foot, causing him to fall from their balcony to his death.

The murderer, filled with resentment, turned into a Hollow and began to take revenge on Yuichi.

This was a guy who was bad to the extreme, both in life and death.

In Rukia's words, he should be sent to hell to suffer punishment for eternity! Chu Yang wanted to deal with this Hollow, who had been a murderer, himself.

And do a little experiment by the way.

There was no way around it; he hadn't had a chance to find other Hollows for experiments lately.

Because he hadn't encountered a single Hollow.

It had to be said that the Soul Reapers' work efficiency was quite good.

The place where Sado lived was quite far from the school, and taking the bus would be faster, but he still chose to walk.

He knew that if he went to a crowded place, he might implicate innocent passersby.

In the past few days, there had been too many accidents caused by him.

After walking for a while, Sado suddenly felt palpitations; every time a disaster was imminent in the past, a similar feeling would appear.

Sado vigilantly looked around, and a horn sounded behind him.

A runaway truck was rushing toward him. Another car accident!

After Sado reacted, he quickly lunged toward the empty space on the right, and even while falling, he held the birdcage in his arms tightly.

*Beep! Beep! Beep! *

The urgent horn, accompanied by the whistling wind, swept past Sado at lightning speed.

*Thud!!! * The truck crashed straight into a utility pole by the road, and most of the cab collapsed instantly.

"Whew..."

Sado, sitting on the concrete ground, let out a long sigh. "That was really close."

"It wasn't close; it was aimed at you."

Sado looked up and saw Chu Yang walking past him, asking in surprise, "Yang, why are you here?"

Chu Yang didn't answer him, but walked toward the runaway truck step by step.

"What do you mean it was aimed at me?" Sado stood up, holding the birdcage, and followed behind Chu Yang, asking.

The two walked to the truck, and Chu Yang pointed to the cab and said, "See for yourself."

Sado looked toward the cab, his expression changing suddenly.

The cab was empty! This was a truck without a driver! "You leave here first, otherwise you might be accidentally injured later."

Chu Yang pointed to the alley entrance and said to Sado.

"What do you mean?"

Sado asked nervously.

Chu Yang shook his head; a cyan-skinned humanoid Hollow had already appeared at the end of the street.

He ignored Sado and met it head-on.

Chu Yang condensed a wooden sword in his hand with Wood Release, and then wrapped it with Armament Haki.

Finally...

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his breath turning into a colorful ribbon of light, as bright as the Milky Way.

This was the ultimate of breathing techniques.

Breathing of Origin!

A terrifying momentum spread from Chu Yang, diffusing toward the surroundings like a tide.

The Hollow's footsteps stopped, and its body was trembling slightly.

This human before it was not a Soul Reaper!

It didn't feel half of the power belonging to a Soul Reaper from the other party.

However.

Death shrouded its head like a shadow! That terrifying momentum wasn't even spiritual pressure; it was really just momentum.

How many battles had he experienced, and how many enemies had he killed to accumulate such a terrifying momentum?

For the first time, the Hollow felt fear toward an ordinary human.

Chu Yang walked faster and faster.

His figure pulled out a residual light in the twilight sunlight.

Under the blessing of the Breathing of Origin, the wooden sword in his hand seemed to have a vivid life.

He swung down with one slash!

Chu Yang had already appeared behind the Hollow.

Sword energy wrapped around the Hollow, flowing with light and color, as if drowning it in the Milky Way.

"Ahhh!!!"

The Hollow's scream wasn't because of pain, but because of fear.

It could feel that the place where it was wrapped by the light band was disintegrating. At the current speed, it would die completely in ten seconds at most.

Chu Yang backhanded the wooden sword into the earth, his hand resting on the hilt, observing this scene carefully.

"The Breathing of Origin has broken through the existing bottleneck and become a higher-dimensional power. Judging from the effect, it is already very close to the lethality of a Zanpakuto against spiritual bodies."

"If used in combination with a Zanpakuto, it will definitely form a very terrifying power."

"Most importantly, the Breathing of Origin is improving every day. At least I still can't feel the limit at all. If it continues to develop..."

Just as he was thinking, the scream in his ear stopped abruptly.

Chu Yang looked up and saw a hideous and terrifying door hanging high in the void.

The Gates of Hell opened, dragging the murderer's soul into hell.

Chu Yang froze.

He thought the Breathing of Origin would completely slay this Hollow, but the situation before him didn't seem to be the case.

"I have to find a more powerful Hollow for experiments next time, otherwise it won't be able to withstand the tossing."

Chu Yang sighed with some regret, and then left the alley.

A moment later.

Rukia and Ichigo were drawn to the vicinity by the high-intensity spiritual pressure, and then the two of them saw the Gates of Hell in the air.

They happened to see the scene where the murderer's soul was dragged into hell.

Rukia was full of shock.

"There is clearly no Soul Reaper nearby!"

"What exactly happened?"

Just when Rukia was panicked, Ichigo discovered Sado standing at the street corner.

He ran over quickly.

"Sado, why are you here?"

Ichigo walked to Sado, but his attention was drawn to the parrot in Sado's arms; he sensed a human soul hidden inside.

Sado told the whole story of what had just happened, and then took Ichigo to see the driverless truck.

"It's a Hollow!"

Rukia appeared behind the two of them silently, giving them a fright.

"That classmate of yours just slew a Hollow."

"It's not surprising that he could do this with his ability, but..."

Rukia stopped halfway through her sentence.

She stood there frowning, a look of worry and doubt in her eyes.

"Yang told me that you could handle it..."

Sado solemnly handed the parrot to Ichigo.

It was only when they were transcending Yuichi's soul that they learned the ins and outs of the story.

The next day.

At school, Rukia found Chu Yang and asked him about the detailed situation of his battle with the Hollow yesterday.

Chu Yang just said it was about the same as last time.

Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Rukia's intuition told her that Chu Yang was lying.

The questioning could only end there.

Her relationship with Chu Yang wasn't close, and she couldn't guarantee whether Chu Yang would get angry if she kept asking.

Moreover, when facing Chu Yang, she often had inexplicable palpitations.

This palpitation had nothing to do with romantic feelings, but was out of instinctive fear.

Rukia didn't want to admit this from the bottom of her heart, but her fear of Chu Yang was objectively existing.

Soul Reapers were exceptionally sensitive to spiritual aspects.

Rukia's fear stemmed from Chu Yang's soul.

She guessed that Chu Yang's soul must be hiding a huge secret.

After school.

Rukia didn't return to Ichigo's house for the first time, but went to an unremarkable grocery store.

The owner of the grocery store was a middle-aged man wearing a fisherman's hat, with a smiling expression for everyone.

As soon as he saw Rukia, he became enthusiastic and began to promote the things in the store.

"You know my current state, so don't make such boring jokes, Mr. Urahara!"

Rukia rolled her eyes at him.

"Alright, alright, I apologize." Kisuke Urahara raised his hands, making a gesture of surrender. "How is the Gigai? Are you used to using it?"

Rukia moved her body and nodded. "So far, it's okay."

"That's for sure, everything in my store is good stuff." Kisuke Urahara stood up and shouted into the store: "Uru, go get the Soul Candy from the warehouse."

"Okay, Mr. Urahara!"

A very soft, glutinous voice came from inside, which couldn't be heard at all if one didn't listen carefully.

After a while, a little girl with twin tails came out with the Soul Candy and handed it to Rukia, who was waiting on the side.

"This is the Soul Candy you asked me for. You know what you need to pay attention to, so I don't need to say more."

Kisuke Urahara said he wouldn't say more, but couldn't help but nag Rukia.

Rukia really couldn't help it, so she interrupted the other party's words anxiously. "Mr. Urahara, I have another thing to tell you this time."

Kisuke Urahara looked at Rukia with some surprise. "What is it?"

"It's about a human." Rukia told him what happened after she met Chu Yang, and specifically explained the feeling of palpitations she had toward Chu Yang.

Kisuke Urahara was silent for a while and smiled. "Actually, humans like him, although rare in the living world, are not non-existent."

"Time always breeds some gifted people who possess power beyond what Soul Reapers can imagine."

"For example, Ichigo Kurosaki, who is performing Soul Reaper duties for you in this era, also possesses extraordinary potential in his body."

Rukia seemed to be convinced by Kisuke Urahara's explanation and nodded silently.

"As for the palpitations..." Kisuke Urahara spread his hands and said helplessly, "I'm an old bachelor for ten thousand years, how would I understand the sparks of love that you young people collide with unintentionally?"

"You are really making it too difficult for me."

Rukia was like a cat with its fur standing on end, jumping up in place excitedly, and said angrily, "I said it's not that kind of thing!"

"It's not..." Kisuke Urahara touched his chin, his eyes suddenly becoming deep.

Just when Rukia thought he was going to say something serious, he suddenly said: "Then it might be that the Gigai is in disrepair."

"Forget it." Rukia didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, and after thanking him, she left the grocery store without looking back.

Watching Rukia's retreating back, Kisuke Urahara's expression gradually became solemn.

Of course, he knew that the reason Rukia felt palpitations wasn't because of any romantic feelings or the nonsense about the Gigai being in disrepair.

Kisuke Urahara knew very well that being able to make a Soul Reaper feel instinctive fear and palpitations meant that the soul gap between the two sides was in a state of absolute crushing.

And such a gap could never appear in an ordinary human.

"Interesting, really interesting." Kisuke Urahara laughed softly, half-lying on the tatami mat and stretching. "I thought having Ichigo Kurosaki was enough trouble, but I didn't expect there to be another one!"

"Don't you plan to go take a look?"

A tall man with glasses and a small mustache suddenly appeared behind Kisuke Urahara.

Tessai Tsukabishi, the former head of the Kido Corps in the Soul Society, known to everyone as the Grand Kido Chief.

And Kisuke Urahara, who seemed to be laughing and not serious, was the former captain of the 12th Division of the Gotei 13 in the Soul Society, and concurrently the director of the Technology Development Bureau.

Because they were framed for the "Hollowfication Experiment" a hundred years ago, the two had to flee the Soul Society and open this grocery store named "Urahara Shop" in the living world.

"For such an interesting thing, of course I have to witness it with my own eyes." Kisuke Urahara slapped his thigh, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he became very solemn.

"Maybe, it's another experiment by that guy Aizen..."

1:00 AM.

Chu Yang, who was already asleep in bed, opened his eyes suddenly.

A figure stood in front of the bedroom window, looking at him with a smile.

Looking at this man wearing a fisherman's hat, Chu Yang didn't seem very surprised.

He sat up silently, leaned against the head of the bed, frowned, and said, "I hate it most when people disturb me when I'm sleeping, followed by when I'm eating."

Chu Yang's calmness and composure made Kisuke Urahara even more interested in him, and he couldn't help but ask: "In this situation, normal people would either scream or get angry, wouldn't they do something?"

"I'm planning to." Chu Yang grinned. "Do you think I'm chatting with you?"

"No!"

"I'm telling you in advance..."

"The reason you're going to get beaten up!"

When Chu Yang showed killing intent toward him, Kisuke Urahara finally understood what Rukia meant by palpitations.

His neck felt like it was being strangled by a pair of invisible big hands.

There was a feeling of suffocation.

This feeling came from the soul level.

Kisuke Urahara was like this, let alone how Rukia would feel.

A slight distraction.

A sharp blade was already close to Kisuke Urahara's face.

The chill went into the bones.

It was a wooden sword, but it made Kisuke Urahara feel that this sword could tear him apart.

*Clang!!! * The wooden sword was blocked by the cane in Kisuke Urahara's hand.

However, the wall behind Kisuke Urahara exploded, as if hit by an invisible force.

A huge hole appeared in Chu Yang's room.

When the wind blew, the temperature dropped suddenly.

"Your morning temper is even bigger than I imagined."

Kisuke Urahara was still that uninhibited look, thinking about teasing Chu Yang at such a tense moment.

"A guy who runs over in the middle of the night to disturb people's dreams has no right to say such things, right?"

Chu Yang said coldly, his momentum changing again, and a large amount of scorching breath erupted from his mouth and nose.

Kisuke Urahara's expression tightened, and he finally put away the smile at the corner of his mouth, his expression heavy.

What kind of power is this? He had never seen similar power, and he wasn't even sure if it belonged to Fullbring.

With the eruption of the Breathing of Origin, the force transmitted from the wooden sword increased exponentially, instantly exceeding Kisuke Urahara's expectations.

The floor under Kisuke Urahara's feet cracked, and he himself couldn't bear this strange force, so he could only take a half step back to unload the force.

But as soon as his foot moved, the pressure on the cane was like a tsunami.

Layer upon layer, one wave higher than the other, almost drowning him.

*Boom!!! * In the end, he smashed heavily into the middle of the road, the ground collapsed several meters instantly, cracks continued to extend outward, and finally formed huge cracks like spider webs.

"Cough, cough..."

Kisuke Urahara, lying in the deep pit, pushed away the rubble on his body, looking very embarrassed, but not suffering much damage.

"No Zanpakuto, no Shikai, no Bankai, only relying on Fullbring to possess such powerful strength?"

"And still has spare energy. It seems that ordinary Soul Reapers are not his opponents, at least equivalent to the combat power of a lieutenant level."

"As for whether he has the strength of a captain level, it's not yet visible..."

After muttering for a long time, Kisuke Urahara sighed, as if relieved. "There is no shadow of Hollowfication on his body. It should have nothing to do with Aizen. I couldn't create such a work, and he couldn't possibly do it either."

Kisuke Urahara shouted loudly: "Little brother, I apologize for what happened tonight, let's stop here..."

Chu Yang appeared in front of him silently.

He raised the wooden sword high and stabbed down hard!

Kisuke Urahara's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Damn it!"

In the blink of an eye, Kisuke Urahara used Flash Step.

The tip of the sword nailed his fisherman's hat to the rubble pile! The pit collapsed several more meters.

It was as if an earth dragon had turned over nearby, shaking violently. In the middle of the night, countless people were awakened.

The panicked shouts of adults and the crying of children were mixed together, chaotic.

Kisuke Urahara flashed away to a distance, saying with a headache: "This guy has a really big temper. If we keep fighting like this, the whole street will be affected."

"If I had known, I wouldn't have provoked him so rashly..."

Just when Kisuke Urahara was thinking about how to deal with Chu Yang next, Chu Yang didn't launch an attack again, but stood in place, staring at him solemnly.

Kisuke Urahara was confused.

What is he doing?

Is he tired of fighting and preparing to take a break?

"Restore this place to its original state." Chu Yang pointed to the devastated street and actually returned home through the hole broken in the wall.

He went home!

Kisuke Urahara was dumbfounded.

"He really is a maverick young man..."

After complaining, Kisuke Urahara really lowered his head and began to repair the road. If anyone came out to look, he would erase that person's memory.

After a while, even the hole broken in Chu Yang's house was repaired by him.

"Mr. Urahara, what are you doing here?"

Kisuke Urahara turned back and found Rukia and Ichigo standing not far away, staring at him.

"Haha..." Kisuke Urahara gave two dry laughs, scratched his head and said: "Nothing, just bored and came out for a walk."

I absolutely cannot let them know that I was beaten into the ground by someone! Rukia asked suspiciously: "I just felt two very powerful spiritual pressures colliding, thinking that a very powerful Hollow had appeared in this area, but it turned out that only you were here."

"Did this place just experience a battle?"

Kisuke Urahara avoided the inquiring eyes of the two and tilted his head to one side. "No, nothing happened here."

Ichigo Kurosaki said: "I just saw you repairing the house. Did you break someone else's house?"

"Who said that?!" Kisuke Urahara denied it flatly: "I just saw that this house was in disrepair, so I did a good deed and helped him repair it."

"Very suspicious, Mr. Urahara." Rukia walked straight to Kisuke Urahara and looked him up and down.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go first!" Kisuke Urahara just wanted to slip away now.

*Click* Chu Yang's door opened.

Chu Yang stood at the door, staring coldly at Kisuke Urahara. "You forgot to say sorry."

Kisuke Urahara: "..."

Rukia didn't expect this to be Chu Yang's house, staring blankly at the other party, and then associated it with the reason Kisuke Urahara came here.

Rukia stared, looking at Kisuke Urahara. "Mr. Urahara, could it be..."

Kisuke Urahara scratched his head awkwardly. "I was just curious, so I came over to see, but I didn't expect this young man to have such a big temper."

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and stared at Kisuke Urahara with unkind expression.

"I'm sorry." Kisuke Urahara immediately turned back and bowed slightly. "Please forgive my rudeness tonight."

Hearing the apology, Chu Yang closed the door with satisfaction.

Seeing Chu Yang's reaction, Rukia showed an "as expected" expression. "So the movement just now was really you fighting."

"Mr. Urahara, can you tell me in detail?"

Kisuke Urahara shook his head without hesitation. "No!"

Rukia was anxious. "Why?"

Kisuke Urahara curled his lips. "He's just an ordinary human, nothing to talk about."

Ichigo Kurosaki said: "You look very guilty..."

"Shut up!"
