Kisuke Urahara vs. Dōsan Hanyū

"Mr. Hanyū, what brings you here?"

Sweating profusely, Kurosaki brandished his sword among the artificial hills.

"Tatsuki wants to help you and Inoue, Abarai wants to save Rukia. Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, I bear a great deal of responsibility for what happened to Rukia."

Dōsan was speaking from the heart. Regardless of the reason or excuse, he had brought the person here, and he was responsible for bringing the person back.

However, this time, Dōsan came mainly for Ichigo Kurosaki.

This name has been in my mind since I can vaguely remember.

Kurosaki responded, preferring to focus his energy on training.

Training should focus on flexibility and striking techniques.

In short, it's about discovering his talent.

It wasn't the traditional kind of Zankensōki, unlike the training that Dōsan gave Tatsuki and Renji. Kisuke Urahara's training for Ichigo was to constantly push his physical strength to the limit and relentlessly push Ichigo to Ichigo limits.

Geniuses are naturally able to surpass their limits time and time again.

To be fair, while Kisuke Urahara was renowned in Seireitei, what was truly formidable was his research ability. Up until Chen Hao arrived in this "mirror world," Kisuke Urahara's strength had not been recognized.

Dōsan's assessment of Kisuke Urahara's strength was also vague. The two hadn't had much contact, but he felt that Kisuke wasn't as simple as he appeared.

Helping others is the cause; it will bring about the effect later.

Perhaps only through closer contact can we discover enough of the anomaly.

Dōsan stood up. "Kurosaki-kun, how about we spar?"

"Mr. Hanyū?" Ichigo curiously, wondering why Dōsan Hanyū would have such a thought.

But perhaps it was the special instinct of a protagonist in a shonen manga, Kurosaki could sense that Dōsan had no ill intentions, and even a deliberate attempt to get close to him.

However, Ichigo was unaware of the reason behind Mr. Hanyū's attitude.

Dōsan is also searching for this reason.

"Mr. Hanyū, my sword is very heavy."

"It's alright."

Dōsan smiled and watched for a while. He thought that Kurosaki's strength was now considered to be at a good level among the vice-captains, but there was still a certain gap between him and the Captain-level.

Taking off the shirt that Tatsuki had bought for him, Dōsan drew the wooden knife from his waist.

Ichigo Kurosaki gripped Zangetsu with both hands, stood in front of Dōsan, and searched for Dōsan's weakness.

But upon closer inspection, it was full of flaws.

For some reason, Ichigo felt a bit irritable and wanted to draw his sword, which he also considered.

What happened?

"Wait, Kurosaki-kun," Kisuke Urahara, adjusting his hat. "Could we wait a moment?"

"What's wrong, Mr. Urahara?" Ichigo curiously, sensing that Kisuke Urahara was acting a little strangely these days.

"I'd like to have a friendly spar with Dōsan."

Ichigo was baffled; in his eyes, Mr. Urahara should be a lazy bum who even needed someone to hand him toilet paper when he went to the bathroom.

"OK."

Urahara Kisuke, carrying his cane, landed in front of Dōsan Hanyū. His casual movements and relaxed muscles made Dōsan think he was genuinely indifferent, had it not been for the fleeting glimpse of coldness beneath Kisuke Urahara's hat brim.

The current Ichigo Kurosaki is Kisuke Urahara, the embodiment of Kisuke Urahara's century-long hatred and century-long scheme.

It was also his way of taking revenge on Aizen in the field he was most confident in, as a scientist.

There is no room for error.

Kisuke Urahara didn't stand on ceremony, directly pulling aside his cane to reveal its cold gleam, but his words remained quite polite, "Hanyū- san, are you only using this wooden sword?"

"You're welcome, Manager Urahara."

I wasn't being polite at all!

"Awaken, Benihime!"

With a flash of light, Kisuke Urahara charged towards Dōsan Hanyū.

One hundred steps, ten steps, and then one step.

In just a moment.

Kisuke Urahara's eyes, which were fixed on Dōsan, were a cold, blood-red, pitch-black gaze.

An indescribable chill and fear washed over him. Kisuke Urahara felt as if he were back on that night, kneeling before Sōsuke Aizen, like a servant polishing the shoes of a superstar on a grand stage.

Kisuke Urahara's sword slowed down, and a wooden sword was thrust directly at his throat.

The outcome is decided.

"Huh? What's going on, Manager Urahara?"

All I noticed was that the Ichigo Kurosaki jumped up and slashed at Mr. Dōsan first, but the sword landed right in front of Mr. Dōsan and then stopped moving.

Instead, it was Dōsan Hanyū who pointed his wooden sword at his throat.

Ichigo sighed and touched his head, then stepped forward. "Now it's my turn," he thought.

"Don't come any closer, Ichigo Kurosaki!"

Before Dōsan's wooden sword could fall, Kisuke Urahara dared not move, but his eyes widened in fury, and a surge of Spiritual Pressure pushed Ichigo Kurosaki, causing him to stumble.

"Dōsan Hanyū, who exactly are you?"

Kisuke Urahara very strong. He has many abilities and no weaknesses, making him a top-tier captain.

However, he was also very weak.

When he escaped to the World of the Living after the events of a century ago, he was considered weak among ordinary Captain-level.

Over the past century, Kisuke Urahara has used his intellect to elevate his strength to the top tier among top captains, but combat experience cannot be acquired through learning.

Training and combat are completely different from fighting.

However, it's not his fault.

The murderous aura emanating from Dōsan Hanyū was truly terrifying.

In the World of the Living world, the term "killing intent" likely refers to a sense of indifference towards life that arises from prolonged bloodshed.

In the world of Soul Reaper, after slaying the dead, the Soul Reaper is enveloped in an invisible aura, known as killing intent.

Kenpachi Zaraki is a monster who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but compared to Dōsan Hanyū, the murderous aura emanating from him is like Shiro-chan Kenpachi Zaraki out of a grassy nest to forage for food.

This is the extent to which countless lives must have been killed to achieve this.

Dōsan smiled and lowered his wooden sword. "I meant no harm."

The existence of people like you is the greatest malice against this world!

Kisuke Urahara couldn't laugh. He had been defeated in one move, which must have been due to his opponent using a trick; it wasn't his true strength, and he refused to accept it.

But just how strong is Dōsan Hanyū?

Kisuke Urahara n't be sure; for a brief moment just now, he hadn't sensed the Spiritual Pressure emanating from Dōsan.

"Manager, Mr. Hanyū, what's wrong?" Ichigo Kurosaki was a little dazed from being hit.

Kisuke Urahara glanced at Dōsan, then turned his back on the two of them, saying, "Just kidding."

Dōsan ignored all of that; he could sense that his Spiritual Pressure seemed to have recovered somewhat.

Not much, just equivalent to the spiritual pressure level of an ordinary Shinigami.

But this amount of Spiritual Pressure was already an unexpected bonus for Dōsan.

As long as he has a little Spiritual Pressure, he can use Kidō, and his ultimate move Mirror Reversal, is actually not that much related to the intensity of Spiritual Pressure.

So, why did this change occur after his battle with Kisuke Urahara?

Soul Society, Seireitei.

Gotei 13.

Gin Ichimaru was already smiling as he watched Aizen calligraphy all afternoon.

At that moment, only one sentence was on his mind.
