In Uehara Shiroha's opinion, the Bankai of the Shinigami had its limits—it wasn't as invincible as everyone thought.
There is limit to the Milenium Captain's Bankai.
Squad Zero couldn't be regarded as pure Shinigami.
Aizen probably realized this by now.
Even if Rukia and the others developed their Bankai, is hard to say that they could do a better job in the upcoming war.
They were very strong among ordinary people, but in a bloody battle, it would be difficult to fight even an ordinary the Sternritter.
While thinking, Uehara Shiroha gently waved his hand. "Sword!"
Suddenly, the Five Elents Barrier in the distance and the golden sun within it all transford into golden rapiers and flew toward Uehara Shiroha.
Under the setting sun, thousands of golden flying swords circled his body, shining like stars surrounding the moon.
Standing among thousands of flying swords, Uehara Shiroha's figure beca more handso and imposing, growing more outstanding by the second.
The sword energy crisscrossed, the sword light blazed brilliantly, the montum awe-inspiring as he looked down upon the world!
Against the backdrop of sword light and energy, he was like a god descending from heaven, a contemporary swordsman without equal.
In the distance, witnessing this grand and impressive scene, Rukia, Momo Hinamori, and Rangiku Matsumoto stared with wide eyes.
This was too handso!
Such strength, such a figure, was truly charming.
The three of them gaped in wonder, their faces full of admiration and fascination, like country folk who had never seen the world.
In the end, all the thousands of golden lightsabers rged into Uehara Shiroha's body.
Absorbing the Reiatsu of the Reishi to beco stronger, and finally feeding it back to oneself or using it to strengthen others—this was another wonderful use of the Five Elents Barrier.
It could only be said that the abilities of the Transcendent level were infinitely mysterious with unlimited potential, and even geniuses could study them for a lifeti.
And he had more than one ability like this, with more to co in the future.
After taking back the Five Elents Barrier, Uehara Shiroha looked at the three female Shinigami who resembled little fangirls and said calmly:
"That's all for today's training. If you want, you can co to my house to take a shower and rest. My bed is quite big."
After working for so long, it was ti for him to enjoy himself.
It was ti to teach them so more advanced things, such as the blending of yin and yang, and the combination of movent and stillness.
Rukia, Momo, and Rangiku were all experienced enough to see that Uehara Shiroha had "bad intentions."
However, on one hand, Uehara Shiroha's previous deanor was too charming for them to refuse; on the other hand, being together gave the three won an unrealistic sense of security.
So, even the "social butterfly" Rangiku Matsumoto followed Shiroha ho in a daze, not to ntion the inexperienced Momo and Rukia. It wasn't until the three of them showered, changed into "adult clothes," and were arranged in a room by Uehara Shiroha that they finally reacted.
When they realized sothing was wrong and wanted to run, it was too late.
Looking at beauties under the lamp, they beca more charming the longer he looked. Gorgeous.
Shiroha gazed at the three beauties with undisguised admiration.
Momo, Rukia, and Rangiku realized they had "walked straight into the tiger's den" and were completely outmaneuvered.
However, they didn't dare to disobey Shiroha now, and the atmosphere was already so charged that it would be impolite to run away.
The only thing they could do was hold onto the hems of their short skirts and press their legs together.
The three won had white, well-proportioned legs with clear lines—straight, slender, and full of power.
Even if ordinary courtesans were trained from childhood, they wouldn't be able to develop such legs and temperant.
Their bare jade feet stepped on the wooden floor, like white lotuses in water stained with a layer of rosy clouds—slender and clean, white and rosy, without the slightest flaw, as if they were works of art made of beautiful jade.
At the front of the feet, their bare toes were pink and delicate, with five pieces perfectly ford. The nails without any makeup were crystal clear and beautiful, just like the petals of a quietly blooming lotus.
Feeling Uehara Shiroha's burning gaze, the three beauties couldn't help but blush.
Looking at the three beauties before him—so youthful and innocent, others full of voluptuousness and mature charm—Shiroha nodded with satisfaction.
It was great to be able to travel to the world of Shinigami and have a task system.
This way, he could have a picturesque landscape in his left hand and a smiling face in his right, without having to be sad about his white hair or sighing that good tis were fleeting.
He and the beauties would be forever young!
This was life!
In Soul Society, Hisagi Shuhei was practicing desperately.
His life was full of "betrayal."
When he was a child, he was attacked by a Hollow in Rukongai, and it was the captain of the 9th Division, Muguruma Kensei, who saved him.
His life was given by Kensei.
However, Captain Muguruma Kensei, whom he regarded as an idol, betrayed the Gotei 13, beca a sinner in Soul Society, and was exiled.
Two like-minded companions at the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts were attacked by Hollows—one chose to join the logistics unit, while the other simply left the Gotei 13 and joined the Teigun.
Afterwards, Hisagi Shuhei t the person who changed his life, Captain Tōsen, who was also the forr vice-captain of his forr idol.
He learned what justice was from his new idol.
Then Tōsen and Aizen killed all the sages of the Central 46 Chambers and colluded with Hollows, becoming unforgivable sinners. They were all traitors.
But strictly speaking, compared to Abarai Renji and Kira Izuru who were manipulated, his treatnt was better.
At least he wasn't implicated in the rebellion that shocked Soul Society.
It may have been because he was too useless, or perhaps because Captain Tōsen's sense of justice hadn't been completely extinguished.
Hisagi Shuhei believed more in the latter possibility.
So, he wanted to find Captain Tōsen and ask about the matter clearly.
If necessary, he would use force to awaken the other's sense of justice.
As a close friend of Tōsen Kana, Komamura Sajin also thought the sa way.
Therefore, he was also practicing hard.
This was also to make up for his dereliction of duty last ti.
As the captain's loyal friend, he failed to protect Captain Commander Yamamoto and failed to catch the traitor Aizen.
A complete failure!
He felt deeply regretful and blad himself for this.
The other Shinigami also practiced seriously with the sa idea.
From beginning to end, they were toyed with by Aizen, and in the end, it was Uehara Shiroha who saved their companions' lives.
This made them feel very guilty.
On one hand, they were thinking about regaining their honor; on the other hand, war was approaching, and the Espada and Aizen's rebellion plans put trendous pressure on the Shinigami captains.
In the face of war, no one could be spared.
Moreover, this was a war they absolutely could not afford to lose.
The safety of the Soul King and the Soul King Palace was in their hands.
Among them, the captain of the 10th Division, Hitsugaya Tōshirō, and the captain of the 6th Division, Kuchiki Byakuya, were eager to take this opportunity to prove themselves.
One was instantly defeated by Aizen, and the other was outmaneuvered by Aizen and lost face for the nobles.
This ti, they were ready to settle accounts with Aizen.
While all the Shinigami were preparing for battle and trying their best to improve their strength, Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends were not idle either.
After training with the Visored, Ichigo finally mastered his Hollow and was confident he could defeat strong enemies with this power.
There was nothing he could do if he wasn't confident. His friend was captured, and he couldn't ignore it.
So even if Ichigo didn't want to fight and didn't want to get involved in the war between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, he could only bite the bullet.
Besides, Aizen's target was Karakura Town.
His family was here, and Ichigo would not back down no matter what.
Of course, there was still a trace of fighting spirit in his heart that he himself didn't even notice.
He wanted to defeat the Arrancar nad Grimmjow.
This wasn't for killing, nor for destruction, nor even for winning or losing.
He just wanted to have a hearty battle.
Fighting was cool!
However, he didn't want to admit the potential bloodthirsty desire in his heart.
Because in that case, he would beco the sa as the monster within him.
This was sothing he had to avoid at all costs.
However, there was no ti for Ichigo to deal with his complicated inner conflict, as the next person to arrive at the battlefield was Uryū Ishida.
Under the day and night pursuit of his pretentious father, Uryū finally regained the lost power of the Quincy.
But the price was that he promised his father Ryūken Ishida that he would not have any involvent with the Shinigami, including Ichigo and other friends.
Otherwise, his father wouldn't help him regain his power.
In order to reclaim the Quincy powers he lost in the battle at Soul Society, Uryū agreed to his father's request.
After regaining his power, the first thing he did was to find Ichigo, the Substitute Shinigami, and prepare to go to Hueco Mundo with him to fight the terrifying Espada Arrancar.
As for Ryūken Ishida, who always said he would not let his son associate with Shinigami, he turned around and reconnected with Isshin Kurosaki, a real Shinigami.
They were worthy of being father and son!
Uryū and Ryūken were both cold and arrogant, while Ichigo and Isshin were both "bull-headed" fighters—truly following in their fathers' footsteps.
In the end, Ichigo, Uryū, and Yasutora Sado stood in front of the gate leading to Hueco Mundo.
This was a gate specially made by Kisuke Urahara. The principle was similar to that of the Garganta of the Arrancar—both tore through space to reach Hueco Mundo from the living world.
In the process, they needed to use the skills of controlling Reishi to create a foothold for themselves in the turbulent flow of spiritual particles.
For Ichigo, who had undergone special training from Kūkaku Shiba and could control the power of a Shinigami, this wasn't a big problem.
For Uryū, a Quincy who could manipulate Reishi, this was even more of a piece of cake...
Foothold? Too conservative. He could use the power of the spirit to add wings to himself and perform a flying display.
"Have you really thought this through?" In front of the special gate, under the green brim of his hat, Urahara's eyes were particularly deep:
"Hueco Mundo is the enemy's base camp. There are countless Hollows and Arrancars in that place. You already know how powerful the Espada are. You don't have any reinforcents, and even your only retreat isn't safe—plus Hueco Mundo is their ho ground. Even so, will you still go to Hueco Mundo to rescue Orihi?"
In fact, he knew that his question was a bit redundant.
Because he already knew the answer.
And that answer was also what he hoped to hear.
Because it could increase the chances of winning this battle.
However, Urahara still felt uneasy and guilty.
It wasn't his original intention to let the three go to Hueco Mundo to take risks, but for the sake of victory, he had no choice.
To a certain extent, today's situation was caused by him.
It was all the fault of the Hōgyoku!
If he hadn't created the Hōgyoku, perhaps so many tragedies wouldn't have happened.
"Of course!" Ichigo said firmly. "I will defeat the Espada and Aizen and rescue Inoue!"
In his opinion, nothing was more important than rescuing his companions.
For this, he didn't hesitate to transform into a monster.
"Sa with !" Sado was just like Ichigo—both were resolute and didn't talk much.
Uryū pushed up his glasses:
"I simply want to go to Hueco Mundo to rescue my classmate. My actions have nothing to do with you, the Substitute Shinigami."
Besides, a Substitute Shinigami wasn't a complete Shinigami. This didn't count as associating with Shinigami, so he hadn't broken his promise.
In Las Noches, Aizen was deep in thought.
Even though war was approaching, he remained as calm, composed, and confident as ever.
Only Gin Ichimaru and Kana Tōsen were beside him.
Although Aizen had transford Hueco Mundo and changed the fate of the great Hollows, he never took these Arrancar seriously.
They were just tools.
The Espada weren't worthy of being his subordinates.
Even the powerful forr top three Arrancar were no exception.
He was using these Arrancar.
He didn't even hide his thoughts.
However, these Arrancar either didn't notice his hints or were unwilling to admit this fact.
This was the fate of the weak. Even if they knew they were being used by the strong, they would willingly follow.
Thinking of this, Aizen's eyes grew more confident and calm.
Tōsen reported the latest discovery: "Aizen-sama, it seems that the Soul King's realm has made so kind of arrangent."
The information about the creation of the Ōken was originally bait, intended to contain the Gotei 13.
Neither the nobles nor the Soul King Palace would allow the Gotei 13 to attack Hueco Mundo at this ti.
Because the Soul King ca first, any action that might threaten the Soul King was forbidden.
Therefore, the Gotei 13 had no choice but to guard Karakura Town and watch Aizen's forces grow stronger.
"Urahara has also joined in," Gin narrowed his eyes and said. "That Kurosaki Ichigo is restless too. Presumably, they will join forces again. This kid is really a headache!"
He was testing, testing Ichigo's significance to Aizen, and also testing Ichigo's true potential.
Besides Uehara Shiroha, Ichigo was the only one who could pose a threat to Aizen.
If he failed, then these two people were hope, and perhaps the last hope.
"Kurosaki Ichigo?" Aizen thought of that interesting human.
If he hadn't stopped Tōsen, Masaki Kurosaki would have died tragically under Tōsen's blade, and Isshin would have been transford into a Hollow by White. After all, White's intended target was Isshin Shiba, the Shinigami captain.
White's transfer to the body of the pure-blooded Quincy Masaki was just an accident.
Ichigo was the product of that accident.
Later, Aizen discovered that this accidental product was his most successful work.
In a sense, Ichigo was even more interesting than the Hōgyoku!
Thinking of so more troubleso entities, Tōsen continued:
"Very strange! Those higher-ups have not responded. The monitoring barrier we set up has not been triggered. The Tenchūren of Squad Zero has not appeared!"
They had learned that Urahara had contact with Squad Zero.
So they made preparations for this.
After all, their ultimate goal was the Soul King.
