"Ichigo, are you afraid of me?"
White Ichigo looked slightly displeased upon seeing his expression.
In his view, he was the one who truly belonged to Ichigo, while the middle-aged man next to him was an outsider.
The middle-aged man turned his head and said to Tokoyo Misao:
"What do you mean by dragging us out? Shouldn't you be like me, not wanting Ichigo to become Soul Reaper?"
"I never said that. What Ichigo wants to become is his personal choice."
The reason he awakened the Quincy powers was simply because he needed to receive his mother's power, nothing more.
Tokoyo Misao took two steps back, leaving the situation to Ichigo Kurosaki.
"Ichigo, they are all the power within you."
"Master, why can Ichigo's power come out?" Little Orihime asked curiously.
"In the training of Soul Reaper, if you want to learn Bankai, you have to materialize your own power."
I simply forced Little Ichigo's power out and let him decide for himself.
Tokoyo Misao reached out and patted Little Orihime's head, smiling as he said:
"The power within Little Orihime can also be materialized in this way, but I would prefer that you materialize it yourself."
"Master, I will do my best!" Orihime clenched her small hands, her face serious and earnest.
Orihime didn't have Zanpakuto, and Tokoyo Misao no Morishige didn't intend to give her Asauchi.
The power she currently uses is entirely based on the power of the Soul Reaper, similar to the Kidō).
Tokoyo Misao had another expectation for Little Orihime: that she could awaken Fullbring.
He had to admit that he truly lacked the talent for emotional outbursts.
The only emotion that could erupt was fighting Unohana; there was absolutely no feedback from any other direction.
He himself understood the reason for this.
The hardships of a past life as a beast of burden have long since worn down one's indifference.
If I hadn't dressed early enough, my desire to fight Unohana might have been completely extinguished.
Now is the perfect time to observe Little Orihime's growth and breakthroughs for research purposes.
Tokoyo Misao smiled and said, "Speaking of which, none of you have introduced yourselves to Ichigo yet, have you?"
The middle-aged man in black said in a deep voice:
"Ichigo, you don't need to seek the power of the Soul Reaper."
If you feel that the power of annihilation will cause the souls to vanish into nothingness, you can choose not to kill them, but instead bind them and hand them over to that little girl for Soul Burial."
"Call out, my name is XXXXXX."
He opened his mouth wide, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all.
Ichigo Kurosaki tilted his head and asked, "What's your name?"
"Hahaha, this guy can't even remember his own name!" White Ichigo laughed loudly from the side. "My name is..."
"Zangetsu!" the middle-aged man in black roared, "Call me Zangetsu!"
"Are you looking for death?!" White Ichigo roared in anger.
He never imagined this guy could be so shameless, even stealing his name.
"Eh, Old Man Zangetsu?" Ichigo Kurosaki seemed quite pleased with the name.
"That's good. From now on, you can call me Zangetsu." Old Man Zangetsu's expression was calm.
"You bastard, I am Zangetsu, die!"
White Ichigo was truly enraged; a Zanpakuto had appeared in his right hand without him even noticing.
Ichigo, who never received Asauchi, possesses the power of Ichigo Zanpakuto.
White Ichigo raised his right hand high, Reishi continuously gathering on the blade, and then swung it downwards with a fierce blow.
"Getsuga Tenshō!"
A crescent-shaped, crimson-black Reishi blade of light, carrying the power to destroy everything, rushed towards Old Man Zangetsu.
Old Man Zangetsu stretched out his right hand and clenched it tightly, and a deep blue Reishi longsword appeared in his hand.
He held his longsword horizontally, blocking the red and black crescent moon, and continued speaking in a cold voice.
"Your name is Tensa, but I am Zangetsu."
"Get lost!"
White Ichigo roared and charged forward again.
At this moment, his sword was wreathed in red and black Reishi energy, radiating immense Reiatsu in all directions.
This time, he didn't release it, but instead wrapped it around the blade and charged at Old Man Zangetsu.
Old Man Zangetsu, wielding the Reishi Greatsword, engaged in a fierce battle with him; the two fought tooth and nail.
To Tokoyo Misao, it has a bit of a final, epic feel to it, like the Yhwach Ichigo Kurosaki.
"Boss Misao, what's going on?" Ichigo Kurosaki a little confused.
"This is the first time I've ever seen people fight each other using their own strength." Tokoyo Misao was also quite surprised.
Generally speaking, Soul Reaper materialize their power to subjugate others and enable them to learn Bankai.
But now, the Quincy power within Ichigo Kurosaki is fighting against the combination of his Soul Reaper and Hollow powers.
Instead, they Ichigo Kurosaki, standing aside.
"So what exactly are they?" Ichigo Kurosaki walked over to Tokoyo Misao's side, watching White Ichigo fight against Old Man Zangetsu.
The two fighters were dazzling, using a variety of powerful techniques that made him somewhat envious.
Tokoyo Misao patted his head and said:
They are both your strength, one from your mother and the other from your father.
Now it seems they want to seize dominance.
"A struggle for dominance?" Ichigo Kurosaki frowned.
Lately, ever since he learned that the Quincy's power was too cruel, he has become somewhat reluctant to use it.
"Just do as you please," Tokoyo Misao with a smile.
He could tell that Ichigo Kurosaki was very confused.
He was already young, and his mother, Masaki Kurosaki, was not mature enough as Quincy to provide him with any guidance.
Not to mention his father, the Soul Reaper who had become human.
The person most suitable to guide the Quincy Ichigo Kurosaki was originally Ryūken Ishida.
Unfortunately, the latter is now focused solely on protecting his wife and children and his undercover work, and has no interest in teaching.
As for Tokoyo Misao, he was able to analyze and understand the power of the Quincy, and even control it to a certain extent.
But he knew absolutely nothing about the Quincy tradition.
Ichigo Kurosaki frowned, pondered for a long time, and then suddenly shouted:
"Tensa, can you allow a soul to enter the cycle of reincarnation?"
White Ichigo casually unleashed a red and black Getsuga Tenshō, Old Man Zangetsu flying into the distance. He turned his head and pointed at his face with some confusion.
Are you calling me?
"Ah, didn't Old Man Zangetsu say your name Tensa?" Ichigo Kurosaki nodded.
"Tsk, my name is XX!" White Ichigo roared.
But when he called out his name, a tremendous force enveloped his mouth, preventing him from making a sound.
He gritted his teeth and turned to look at Old Man Zangetsu; this guy clearly didn't want Ichigo to know his name.
"You bastard, you can't even say your own name, so you're trying to interfere with me, huh?"
"Soul Reaper is not a good choice," Old Man Zangetsu said coldly.
As a Quincy, he truly didn't want Ichigo Kurosaki to follow the path of Soul Reaper.
Of the powers currently possessed by Ichigo Kurosaki, the Quincy power represented by Old Man Zangetsu is significantly greater than the other two.
Of course, if Ichigo Kurosaki becomes Soul Reaper and begins training, that would be a different story.
White Ichigo, of course, understood the current situation.
His eyes darted around, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up.
He whirled around and charged towards Ichigo Kurosaki, shouting, "Ichigo, call my name!"
"It's no use!" Old Man Zangetsu and White Ichigo are from the same source; they are both Ichigo Kurosaki's power.
So even if the two are far apart, Old Man Zangetsu has a way to prevent White Ichigo from revealing his name.
"Tensa?" Ichigo Kurosaki, somewhat puzzled.
"That's right!" Upon hearing the words "Tensa," White Ichigo wasn't angry at all; instead, he laughed happily.
His body transformed into a red and black chain, which wrapped around Ichigo Kurosaki's arm, looping all the way to his shoulder, leaving a section of the chain dangling on the ground.
"Is there another move?" Old Man Zangetsu's expression turned ugly.
Tokoyo Misao nearby, understood, because he had used this move before.
He deliberately called out the wrong name of his Zanpakuto to achieve False Shikai.
Currently, it seems that White Ichigo, the true Zangetsu, has achieved this.
At least this red and black chain is indeed composed of the power of Soul Reaper and Hollows, and contains not a trace of Quincy power.
The most important aspect of this approach is that it allows Ichigo Kurosaki to actively utilize these two powers.
Ichigo Kurosaki casually flicked the chains in his hand.
He could sense the same Soul Reaper power from Orihime, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Tensa!"
Chapter 144 Memory Shapes a Person (Part 1)
Today, the autumn Karakura Town is crisp and clear, with small groups of people strolling around the streets, enjoying this rare good weather.
The maple leaves by the riverbank fell gently in the autumn breeze, swaying with the wind.
In the park, many visitors were looking towards the fountain, where two children were dancing and gesturing excitedly.
One of the boys kept waving his hands and shouting, "Tensa!"
The other girl spread her arms wide. "The Shield of Six Flowers!"
The two children seemed to be having a lot of fun, but they were a little too oblivious to what others thought.
Ichigo Kurosaki swung the iron chain on his right hand, binding the two Hollows in the sky.
These days he's become increasingly adept at using the Tensa.
Just then, one of the bound Hollows suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a Cero.
Orihime Inoue immediately used the Shield of Six Flowers to block the two of them.
Bang! The Cero collided with the Shield of Six and vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.
Ichigo Kurosaki bound the two Hollows to the ground and shouted at Orihime:
"I'll just kill these two with the Tensa, is that alright?"
"My master said that there's no problem using the power of Soul Reaper and Hollows," Little Orihime nodded in response.
After receiving confirmation, Ichigo Kurosaki suddenly flicked his wrist, and the red and black chains seemed to transform into a vicious venomous snake, piercing directly through the masks of the two Hollows.
These two ends Hollowfication Reishi.
