"you can."
The next moment, a voice as gentle as jade sounded behind Kurosaki Ichigo.
Kurosaki Ichigo quickly turned around, looked back, and spoke respectfully. "Senju-sama, why are you here?"
"I searched around the Fourth Division team building and asked around before I found out you were here."
Senju Makoto spoke.
In fact, with the existence of Mole City Shuangya, Senju Makoto was aware of every move Kurosaki Ichigo made in the Seireitei, so he naturally came straight to Shuangshou Hill.
However, for Senju Makoto today, such words that can make others feel warm and valued are almost at his fingertips.
"Ichigo, are your injuries completely healed? Why did you come here all the way if you didn't stay in the Fourth Division to recuperate?"
"Senju-sama, I came here to relax."
Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo also responded somewhat flattered.
After all, from Kurosaki Ichigo's point of view, Senju Makoto was a legendary figure who was resurrected two years ago. Now he is not only the core figure of the Gotei 13th Division, but also a great benefactor to the Kurosaki family.
"Is it because of Mr. Kurosaki Makoto's matter?" Senju Makoto's tone became a little more serious.
"yes."
Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't control the expression on his face.
"I later learned a lot about Mr. Kurosaki Makoto's deeds through various channels. He was a very great man. He made an indelible contribution to my personal recovery and to the peace of the entire world. contribute."
There was quite a bit of sadness in Senju Makoto's tone, as if he was lamenting the passing of a hero, without any unnatural expression.
This once again touched Kurosaki Ichigo's already sad and angry heart, causing Kurosaki Ichigo's expression to change almost visibly.
Immediately, Senju Makoto changed his tone and asked.
"So, Ichigo just wanted to avenge Mr. Kurosaki Makoto, but was worried about his lack of combat power?"
Kurosaki Ichigo nodded reluctantly and replied.
"Whether it's compared to Yhwach or Aizen Sosuke, I seem to be... still far behind."
Senju Makoto thought for a moment and said.
"Ichigo, at the recent captain meeting, a plan to counterattack the Invisible Empire was decided in five days."
Kurosaki Ichigo's expression suddenly shook, and he almost blurted out. "Senju-sama, please allow me to join you."
"Yes, but there is a prerequisite."
Senju Makoto raised a finger and said earnestly.
"If you cannot meet that condition, I will not allow you to join it, otherwise you will probably lose your life in vain if you are dominated by emotions."
Kurosaki Ichigo asked through gritted teeth. "What are the conditions? I will definitely achieve it."
Senju Makoto's face showed approval, and then he said. "Before I tell you that condition, I need to help you restore the power of Death."
"Restore the power of Death?"
Kurosaki Ichigo's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
"Don't forget, I am also the most outstanding doctor in the entire Jingling Court. In my spare time in the past two years, I have occasionally conducted research on your situation, so..."
However, before Senju Makoto could explain the principle in detail, Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't wait to speak.
"If you want to regain your strength, please tell me what you need me to do, Senju-sama."
"You don't need to do anything. As long as you stand still, it will... hurt a little." Senju Makoto said with a gentle smile.
"Okay." Kurosaki Ichigo took a deep breath and responded seriously and solemnly.
"Then I'll start on the count of three."
"good."
"one."
"Pfft!!"
Just as the sound of "一" was heard in Ichigo Kurosaki's ears, at this moment, all kinds of things penetrated Kurosaki Ichigo's chest head-on. This made Ichigo Kurosaki slightly dazed and unable to react. come over.
The next moment, Kurosaki Ichigo felt a stream of heat injected into his body, and it continued to flow deeper into his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Kurosaki Ichigo felt his eyes go dark...
When his sight returned again, Kurosaki Ichigo had already entered his inner world that he had not seen for a long time.
In the upside-down world of high-rise buildings, it was raining heavily, and the seawater below was pouring in continuously. There was also a familiar figure standing in the rain, seemingly waiting for something - the black figure of Uncle Zangetsu.
Kurosaki Ichigo's expression suddenly showed full of joy, he rushed towards Uncle Zangetsu and shouted. "Senju-sama is so powerful, he actually brought Uncle Zangetsu back to life."
However, when Ichigo Kurosaki saw Uncle Zangetsu's appearance clearly again, he suddenly froze on the spot.
Before, due to anger, Kurosaki Ichigo didn't even have time to take a good look at Yhwach's appearance.
Until he saw Uncle Zangetsu again, Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly realized that the appearance of Yhwach and Uncle Zangetsu were so similar.
Except that Uncle Zangetsu wears sunglasses and there is a very obvious difference in temperament between the two, the rest of the facial features and body shape are similar to the same model.
"Zang...Uncle Zangetsu, you...you..." Kurosaki Ichigo said in a daze.
However, Uncle Zangetsu disappeared in front of Kurosaki Ichigo in an instant, and then appeared behind Kurosaki Ichigo and said calmly.
"Ichigo, what you want to say is why Yhwach and I look so similar, right?"
Kurosaki Ichigo nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly realized something.
"Uncle Zangetsu, how do you know? Did you not disappear after the end of 'The Last Getsuga Ten Chong'?"
"That's right, I'm still here, Ichigo." Uncle Zangetsu replied.
This made Ichigo Kurosaki's expression suddenly startled, and he even looked at Uncle Zangetsu, who had trusted him so much in the past, with a bit of surprise!
Uncle Zangyue lowered his head slightly, and the sunglasses that reflected light made it difficult to see the changes in his eyes, but there was a strong aura of sadness on his body as he spoke.
"Because, I am not Ichigo's real Zanpakutō, and I am not Yhwach, but I am Yhwach to a certain extent."
"What?"
Kurosaki Ichigo had some difficulty understanding what Uncle Zangetsu meant.
Not... Zanpakutō?
How can it be?
Also, why did Uncle Zangetsu get involved with Yhwach again?
However, facing Kurosaki Ichigo's question, Uncle Zangetsu looked up at the downpour that seemed like the sky was falling and said slowly.
"Ichigo, the reason why I know everything that has happened to you in the past two years is because I am the source of your Quincy power, which was passed down from your mother and originated from the destruction of Yhwach. Teacher strength."
