And the situation... is just as Senju Makoto judged...
Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was never able to truly grasp the Zanpakutō in his hand, although he had liberated the swastika, did not gain an overwhelming advantage in the battle with Kurosaki Ichigo. Instead, the two sides fought hard. There is back and forth.
This... is undoubtedly a bit embarrassing!
However, Hitsugaya Toshiro's all-out explosion gradually revealed his embarrassment of insufficient successors in front of Kurosaki Ichigo, who had mastered the swastika and kendo.
Seeing this scene in the eyes of Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro who were hiding in the dark, Kyōraku Shunsui's expression became a little more suspicious and he spoke.
"Ukitake, do you think the swordsmanship of that young man in trouble... looks familiar to you?"
"look familiar?"
Hearing this, Jutsuro Ukitake coughed a few times, observed it carefully, then shook his head and asked. "Is there something wrong?"
"Well...if my guess is correct, the problem is quite big..."
Kyōraku Shunsui's tone became a little more solemn and he spoke. "Although it's just a rudimentary form, it seems to be a swordsmanship similar to Captain Unohana's!"
Ukitake Jushiro suddenly turned his head and blurted out in disbelief. "How can it be?!"
"I also find it incredible, but..."
Kyoraku Shunsui pointed at his eyes and said. "I trust my eyes and my intuition. This is indeed similar to Captain Unohana's swordsmanship thousands of years ago."
Ukitake Jushiro frowned, shook his head, and retorted.
"However, Captain Unohana has never had any contact with this young man who was in trouble during the trip, and Captain Unohana's swordsmanship has not been taught even to her disciple Senju Makoto, who she still has not let go of. How could she possibly pass it on to a mere disciple? The boy who was traveling in trouble."
Jingraku Shunsui fell into deep thought, all kinds of speculations appeared in his mind and he quickly rejected them...
After a long time, Jingraku Shunsui slowly raised his head and said.
"Perhaps there is only one possibility, and that is that this young man in trouble is a genius similar to the former Captain Unohana, and he has mastered this kind of swordsmanship on his own."
"It seems that this is the only explanation." Ukitake Jushiro replied.
"But in this case, we really can't let this young man in trouble continue to act recklessly..."
Kyōraku Shunsui's tone was a little more solemn, but he spoke teasingly.
"Otherwise, we captains may be like the swordsmen and nobles harvested by Captain Uozhihua thousands of years ago. We will completely become the nourishment for this young man in trouble to hone his swordsmanship."
"actually……"
Ukitake Jushiro hesitated for a moment and then said. "Chun Shui, don't you think the appearance of this traveling boy looks a bit like one of my former subordinates? And the name of that Zanpakutō."
"ah?"
Kyoraku Shunsui was startled, and then he focused on Kurosaki Ichigo's appearance.
As a famous seductress from Seireitei, Kyōraku Shunsui's habit was never to pay attention to the details of the appearance of other people except women.
After being reminded by Jushiro Ukitake, Kyoraku Shunsui stared at Kurosaki Ichigo who was fighting Hitsugaya Toshiro and looked around carefully, and said a name.
"Shiba Haiyan?"
Ukitake Jushiro nodded and spoke slowly.
"And based on the age of Kurosaki Ichigo, it seems to be consistent with the time when Captain Shiba Isshin disappeared in the present world."
As soon as he said this, Kyōraku Shunsui's expression became more solemn and he spoke slowly.
"If this is the case, the meaning will be completely different..."
…
Senju Makoto did not know about the conversation between Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jūshirō, who was also observing Kurosaki Ichigo in the dark, and would not care even if he knew.
Senju Makoto secretly helped Kurosaki Ichigo hone the prototype of his swordsmanship, but he was not worried at all about causing trouble to Unohana Retsu.
After all, the kendo mastered by Unohana Retsu... is essentially a kendo that the body can remember instinctively and grow by absorbing a lot of nutrients through constant battles.
Thousands of years ago, countless corpses in Soul Society became the nourishment for Unohana Retsu to practice swordsmanship...
A hundred years ago, Unohana Retsu, who mastered a large number of kendo schools, provided Senju Makoto with nutrients for practicing kendo...
But now, through those hellish days of training, Senju Makoto secretly guided Kurosaki Ichigo's physical instincts through the use of spirit arrows to produce the prototype of this special kendo.
Next, the entire Serenity Court is the nourishment prepared by Senju Makoto for Kurosaki Ichigo!
After all, in the opinion of Makoto Senju, Kurosaki Ichigo in the original trajectory has a very strong explosive ability, and he always relies on explosive seeds to reverse the victory. However, what Kurosaki Ichigo cannot hide is his fighting or hacking. Fight with the Crescent Moon Sky Chong, or fight like a wild beast.
So ugly!
For this reason, Senju Makoto, who wanted to accelerate Kurosaki Ichigo's growth, deliberately helped Kurosaki Ichigo's instinct form the prototype of this kind of kendo.
…
At this moment, the battle between Kurosaki Ichigo and Hitsugaya Toshiro has entered into the final fierce battle...
Normally, for a battle between captains, the battle would not end so quickly if the two sides were of similar strength.
But... Hitsugaya Toshiro is undoubtedly an exception.
Hitsugaya Toshiro performs swastika like a child pulling a cart. The twelve petals of ice flowers on his head represent Hitsugaya Toshiro's long-lasting ability in swastika state.
If Zaihou's swastika is the ultimate destruction and brilliance in an instant, then Senju Makoto's swastika of Hitsugaya Toshiro can only be evaluated as weak and powerless with a duration calculated in seconds.
And Hitsugaya Toshiro, who knew that his condition could no longer hold on, was shocked, and without any hesitation, the frost wings behind him seemed to expand in a circle, and he headed towards Kurosaki with a desperate attitude. Ichigo rushed off.
"Dragon shot rack!"
When Ichigo Kurosaki saw this, he had no intention of evading, and instead chose to confront Toshiro Hitsugaya! !
A large amount of blue spiritual pressure rose up and condensed on Zangetsu's blade in his hand...
At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual pressure seemed to have once again broken through the previous limit, and it was almost completely comparable to Hitsugaya Toshiro's spiritual pressure just by relying on Haigai's condition.
"The crescent moon...the sky...is rushing!!!"
For a moment, it was as if a crescent moon and a giant frost dragon had collided completely, strangled each other crazily...
Hitsugaya Toshiro's spiritual pressure also seemed to have increased a bit under this collision. He gritted his teeth and continued to insist, roaring in a low voice.
"How...how could we lose to a mere travel disaster!"
"What kid pulls a cart? Go to hell!!"
