Byakuya's Arrival

P. S.: Many people think the protagonist's name is bad. If readers agree, I can change the protagonist's name.

"Hmm?" Ye Yang was having afternoon tea at Urahara Shop when he suddenly looked up at the window and muttered to himself, "How come there are so many Hollows in the World of the Living? Even though they're just some lowly soldiers, even Jūreichi wouldn't have this many."

Urahara walked in from outside and said, "Hmm, I roughly understand what happened. It was orchestrated by a Quincy named Uryū Ishida. He used bait to lure the Hollows here so he could have a showdown with Kurosaki- kun, who is a Shinigami."

"Quincy? So there are still survivors? How ridiculous." Ye Yang shook his head and chuckled. Suddenly, he looked outside with a sense of unease, his brows furrowing slightly. "What's going on? The bait shouldn't have lured out Menos Grande, should it?"

Urahara also somewhat puzzled. "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. It doesn't make sense. But perhaps this isn't so bad. If we can't even solve this little thing, then I'll just pretend I misjudged it."

"Hmph, it was you again, wasn't it? You even kept it from me. That's really not very nice of you, Kisuke."

Urahara chuckled sheepishly, "As expected, nothing escapes your notice, Ye Yang. So, shall we go out and take a look?"

Let's go.

"Tessai, Ururu, Jinta, we're going to support Mr. Kurosaki!" With that, he led the two children to help Ichigo Kurosaki, while Ye Yang simply watched from afar, eliminating all Hollows except those in this area to prevent harm to ordinary humans.

Ichigo was already fighting alongside the Quincy. The Quincy had been wiped out by the Shinigami two hundred years ago. Rukia then told Ichigo Quincy.

Ye Yang scoffed at this. "Hey, Kisuke, do you believe in the idea of complete annihilation?"

"Well, who knows? Ye Yang, do you have a different opinion?" Urahara looked at Ye Yang with great interest, as if he really wanted to know Ye Yang's thoughts.

"This claim has fooled many people, hasn't it? Complete annihilation? That's impossible! Everything is conserved; no one can break this law, especially since they are just a group of humans with considerable Spiritual Power."

Urahara then asked, "Is everything conserved? Then what kind of force does Ye Yang believe could break it?"

Ye Yang looked up at the sky. "I don't know, but perhaps if it reaches that level, it could be called a god."

"God?" Urahara said nothing more, simply waiting quietly for the appearance of the Menos Grande.

"What is that? It's huge!" Ichigo murmured, gazing at the sky. At that moment, a crack appeared in the sky, and a Menos Grande of the Gillian level slowly emerged from it.

"Kisuke, it's your turn to appear," Ye Yang reminded him.

"Yes, sir!" Urahara replied, then appeared to help Ichigo eliminate the Hollow minions. Holding a small fan, he pointed at the Gillian and said, "Mr. Kurosaki, leave the minions to us so you can focus on dealing with that guy."

Ichigo ignored Rukia's attempts to stop him and charged forward with his Zanpakuto. Rukia shouted, "Urahara! Do you want to kill Ichigo?"

Urahara sealed Rukia directly with a simple Bakudō. He didn't even seem to reveal his true name, and the spell he used wasn't one of the ones he learned in Soul Society. It was just a few simple tricks he created himself. He had a unique understanding of Kidō, and creating his Kidō wasn't unusual, but generally, self-created Kidō wouldn't be very powerful, at most equivalent to Kidō number thirty-something. However, even so, it was enough to bind the weakened Rukia.

"How could that be? But please watch carefully, this battle is indispensable, both for Miss Kuchiki and Mr. Kurosaki." Urahara had a faint smile on his lips.

Ye Yang was also observing the battle from the shadows. His first impression of Ichigo was that his Spiritual Power was incredibly high, which was unbelievable for a human. Not only for humans, but even within the current Seireien, there were very few who could compare to this Spiritual Power. If this Spiritual Power could be used correctly, then the possibilities would be unimaginable.

It's impossible to explain why he possesses such astonishing Spiritual Power; perhaps it's something he was born with. One can only say he's blessed with the protagonist's aura.

However, it is currently in a dormant state. Urahara's approach is to unleash this Spiritual Power, but Menos Grande of the Gillian level alone is not enough to fully activate it.

As we can see, Ichigo has activated his Spiritual Power to fight against Cero. In Ye Yang's view, this is just the Ikkaku the iceberg. This is something that should not be rushed, because his body may not be able to withstand it.

For example, Ichigo is currently experiencing a sudden release of power that his body cannot withstand. If this continues, his body will melt away. Fortunately, Uryū Ishida helped him release this power.

Back at Urahara Shop, "Ye Yang, what do you think of Mr. Kurosaki?" Urahara asked.

Ye Yang did not reply and went straight back to his room...

He knew that Rukia hadn't been in the World of the Living for very long. The last time, the Seireien had sent a Shinigami to find him, but Rukia hadn't gone back with him. The Shinigami would definitely report it after returning, and the next one that came might not be an ordinary team member. In Ye Yang's memory, it seemed that Byakuya had personally come to bring Rukia back.

Sure enough, not long after arriving, Ye Yang sensed Byakuya's Spiritual Pressure nearby. Renji was with him; now he was the vice-captain of the Sixth Division, and he certainly wouldn't stand idly by when it came to Rukia's affairs.

Looking at the grinning Urahara beside him, Urahara, "It Kisuke your plan is going to fail. Byakuya will definitely take Rukia, and Kurosaki's life is in danger."

"Well, the Hōgyoku is now integrated into Rukia's spirit, so it won't be easy to take it out. Besides, this is something Mr. Kurosaki is bound to go through. If he doesn't find his own power, he'll probably never be able to unlock his potential," Urahara said thoughtfully, as if he had already foreseen the outcome.

"Really? Then I'll wait and see..."

Rukia sensed that the Seireien Kurosaki Family would definitely eliminate their pursuers. She could imagine that this time, the pursuers were beyond her ability to contend with, so she was determined to handle this matter alone. The World of the Living was not a place for her to stay, and this time she did not want to implicate Ichigo again.

Renji's arrival was unexpected enough, but Byakuya's arrival plunged her into utter despair. She knew that even if she were his sister, he would show no mercy, and this time she had no hope of winning.

Suddenly, an unexpected voice came from behind Rukia: "Two armed men dealing with an unarmed girl is really unsettling to watch."

"You can see us? Who are you?" Renji asked in surprise.

Ishida simply adjusted his glasses and calmly said, "I'm just her classmate, someone who hates death."

"Ishida, what are you doing here?" Rukia looked at him strangely; there shouldn't be anyone here at this time.

"It was just a coincidence. If I had to say, I just suddenly wanted to go to a 24-hour sewing chain store, so I happened to pass by here late at night. I didn't run out because I sensed the presence of death. To have an excuse, I even brought a plastic bag from home," Ishida said casually, seemingly unaware that his quiet mutterings had been overheard.

However, Ishida's appearance was destined to be a tragedy. He was taken down by Renji move. Just as Renji was about to deliver the final blow to Ishida, the boy Kurosaki appeared and saved Ishida.

With that burst of Spiritual Pressure, Ichigo finally defeated Renji, who only had one-fifth of his Spiritual Power. The Thirteenth Division has a rule that anyone above the rank of lieutenant must seal 80% of their Spiritual Power when they go to the World of the Living to carry out a mission. So, Renji only had one-fifth of his Spiritual Power, so it was not an accident that he was defeated by Ichigo.

Even if Ichigo unleashes his Ichigo potential, and even if Byakuya is only at one-fifth of his current strength, Ichigo still cannot escape the fate of being instantly killed by Byakuya, after all, there is a huge gap between the two.

With just a Senka, Ichigo collapsed without even having a chance to react. Byakuya's Zanpakuto through his Saketsu and his Hakusui. If he didn't receive timely treatment, he might die in less than an hour.

Previously, Ye Yang had been observing from the sidelines with Urahara. If he didn't appear now, the boy Kurosaki would be in danger. After all, he was Isshin's son, and Ye Yang didn't want anything to happen to him.

Emerging from the shadows, Ye Yang looked at Byakuya and asked, "Byakuya, what are you doing in the World of the Living?" He knew the answer already.

A hint of surprise appeared on Byakuya's perpetually unchanging face, but he still nodded and greeted, "Brother Ye Yang."

Renji and Rukia exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher Ye Yang?"

Ichigo looked up at Ye Yang, his expression instantly changing drastically. "It's you?"

Ignoring Kurosaki's reaction, Ye Yang explained, "I came out on a mission, but I didn't expect to sense your Spiritual Pressure. Is there something you need?" Noticing Byakuya's surprise, Ye Yang continued.

"Rukia secretly transferred her Spiritual Power to a human, so I've come to take Rukia back," Byakuya said calmly.

Ye Yang looked at Ichigo and Ishida on the ground, "Here's what we'll do, I'll handle things here. You take Rukia to Soul Society first, I'll be back soon."

Byakuya naturally didn't object to Ye Yang's words, firstly because he trusted Ye Yang, and secondly because he didn't think Ichigo Kurosaki was worth his attention. He nodded, "Renji, open the Senkaimon."

Ichigo seemed to be still struggling, chanting, "Stop!"

Ye Yang appeared behind him with a Shunpo, knocking him unconscious with a single palm strike. Meanwhile, Renji had already opened the Senkaimon, and Byakuya led Rukia inside. What awaited her there?
