"However, Uncle Kurosaki made a note in your intelligence about fighting Captain Niruri. As the intelligence is leaked, the star level represented by the threat level will increase. Therefore, priority must be given to quickly eliminating Captain Niruri. Lose……"
"As for Captain Hitsugaya Toshiro, although he possesses the strongest ice and snow Zanpakuto, his own accumulation and spiritual pressure are far from enough. He is like a child pulling a cart, and there is no way to use his swordsmanship. The true power of the sword..."
In the midst of Kurosaki Ichigo's extremely sincere talk, Nirvana and Hitsugaya Toshiro seemed to have been truly hurt, their faces so gloomy that they dripped water.
What made Nirvana and Hitsugaya Toshiro gnashed their teeth was that the series of information Ichigo Kurosaki said... they were unable to refute.
"Shut up! You can't use the power of your Zanpakutō. How dare you say such arrogant things even if you just stole the power of the Shinigami?!"
Hitsugaya Toshiro roared with shame and anger, drew his sword, and quickly approached Kurosaki Ichigo.
"Sit in the frosty sky, Hyōrinmaru!!!"
Along with the liberating language spirit full of oppressive power, the appearance of Hyōrinmaru, known as the strongest ice and snow Zanpakutō in Soul Society, in Hitsugaya Toshiro's hand, changed. A long iron chain extended from the tail of the sword, and There is a crescent-shaped blade at the end of the chain, which looks like the tail of an ice dragon.
Moreover, the temperature in the air seemed to drop significantly in an instant.
And with the liberation of Hyōrinmaru, Hitsugaya Toshiro had no intention of holding back. He jumped in mid-air, and the Zanpakuto Hyōrinmaru in his hand slashed towards Kurosaki Ichigo from a distance.
"Ice Dragon Spin Tail!"
Under the bright sun, a large number of ice crystals condensed into the shape of an ice dragon, which reflected dazzling light under the sun and swept towards Ichigo Kurosaki with a strong cold air.
In this regard, Kurosaki Ichigo had no intention of retreating, and looked beyond Hitsugaya Toshiro to the Confession Palace behind them...
"Crescent Moon Clashes!!"
In an instant, the Ice Dragon Spin Tail and Getsuga Tensho collided together without any fancy. At the moment when countless ice crystals collapsed, Hitsugaya Toshiro, who had a face as cold as frost, stepped out of the ice crystals, holding the ice crystal with both hands. The sword slashed towards Kurosaki Ichigo.
"Ding!"
To Hitsugaya Toshiro's expectation, Kurosaki Ichigo, who was born as a wild child, was clearly a traveling disaster who stole the power of the Death God. He actually blocked the attack with an incomparable standard swordsmanship blocking stance.
"Do you know kendo?"
"Won't……"
Kurosaki Ichigo replied with a grin, and launched a counterattack against Hitsugaya Toshiro without any fear.
For a moment, it was Toshiro Hitsugaya who was suppressed and beaten by Ichigo Kurosaki in close combat...
What makes Hitsugaya Toshiro find it extremely incredible is that what Kurosaki Ichigo uses... is clearly Kendo. Although there are some suspicions of wild ways, there are definitely traces of Kendo in terms of offense and defense.
'how come? Didn't this guy become a Shinigami after stealing Rukia Kuchiki's Shinigami power? '
This unexpected situation made Hitsugaya Toshiro frown. As Kurosaki Ichigo pressed him step by step, the chain at the end of the Zanpakutō Hyōrinmaru suddenly moved towards Kurosaki Ichigo. Protect a flick.
"Click... click..."
Even though Ichigo Kurosaki cleverly blocked the chain with his Zangetsu, the area wrapped by the chain quickly melted into ice...
The next moment, the Zanpakutō Zangetsu's blade seemed to be covered with a layer of "Getsuga Tensho" that was entangled but not released. It blocked the ice melting with a forceful charge, and the body was pulled back. Opened the distance.
Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was slightly panting, stared at Kurosaki Ichigo and asked.
"Where did you learn the art of swordsmanship?"
"kendo?!"
Regarding Hitsugaya Toshiro's questioning, Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but be a little confused and asked. "Is this considered Kendo?"
After a pause, Kurosaki Ichigo put the Zanpakutō Zangetsu on his shoulder, looked down at Hitsugaya Toshiro using his height advantage, and said.
"I just experienced the edge of life and death for several days, and instinctively learned how to... survive."
As soon as these words came out, it undoubtedly made Hitsugaya Toshiro feel that... Kurosaki Ichigo was shaking himself...
As a famous genius in the Soul Society, it is true that Hitsugaya Toushiro graduated from the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy with an extremely fast record and became the captain, but this also caused Hitsugaya Toshiro to have no control over the "Zanken Zuki". Relatively inadequate.
Among them, although Hitsugaya Toshiro attaches great importance to kendo, as the captain at the moment... he is undoubtedly suppressed by Kurosaki Ichigo in the kendo duel!
Moreover, he was insulted by Kurosaki Ichigo with such a nonsense attitude...
Are you kidding me?
Why should my decades of swordsmanship be suppressed by your mere days of jumping left and right on the edge of life and death?
"Swastika: Dairedren Hyōrinmaru!"
Along with the extremely angry voice, the wings of frost spread out behind Hitsugaya Toshiro's short body, and there was a twelve-petal lotus on his head. The whole person seemed to be integrated with the frost dragon.
Moreover, when the spiritual pressure filled with icy cold breath rose into the sky, it seemed that the celestial phenomena were changed accordingly!
This... is the strongest Zanpakutō in the ice and snow system. Once it is released, it has the ability to change the celestial phenomena!
The powerful spiritual pressure that erupted from Hitsugaya Toushiro's body after he released his swastika also steadily pressed down on Kurosaki Ichigo...
"Travel disaster, I will seal your arrogance forever in the cold..."
…
However, Hitsugaya Toshiro's seemingly astonishing scene made Senju Makoto feel a sense of insincerity in the eyes of Senju Makoto, who was secretly observing in the dark.
Obviously, Zanpakutō Hyōrinmaru and Zanpakutō Ryukenwaka are theoretically the strongest Zanpakutō in different categories!
However, Hitsugaya Toshiro's Hakkai and Swastika interpretations have not undergone any qualitative change in Senju Makoto's eyes, let alone compared to Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni.
'The temperature... has not changed fundamentally. On the surface, it seems that the amount of frost manipulation has increased significantly, but is this increase really considered a swastika? '
Senju Makoto took a deep look at the Zanpakutō in Hitsugaya Toushiro's hand, and could only attribute all this to the fact that Hitsugaya Toshiro was too young and could not really grasp this level of Zanpakutō.
It is precisely for this reason that Senju Makoto's evaluation of Hitsugaya Toshiro is: a child pulling a cart!
Although he obviously holds the strongest Zanpakutō in the ice and snow system, it is judged by Senju Makoto to be only a two-star level, slightly stronger than Rokusha Kensai and Komamura Zuozhen.
