The Mysterious Deaths of Bleaches

As the power of the King's Seal vanished, Tsuna's remaining power burst through the sky, breaking through the thick clouds, and bathed in the gift of sunlight with his Sun Attribute power.

The barrier created by Hyōrinmaru using the King's Seal has been broken; now all that's left is to clean up the battlefield.

But some people don't realize the reality. With a loud bang, a violent tremor came from beneath Tsuna's feet, and the entire Sokyoku Hill seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Without saying a word, Tsuna fell headfirst off the high platform.

"Kenpachi, you've attacked the wrong spot."

Well, before the person even arrived, Tsuna had a general idea of what had happened. Nearly a third of the buildings at the Sokyoku Hill had been chopped down with a single blow. If nothing unexpected happened, it was that brute Kenpachi Zaraki who did it.

"Tch, those Hollows just vanished so suddenly, I didn't even have time to enjoy myself!" Kenpachi said dismissively.

This can't be blamed on Kenpachi Zaraki. He was just happily slaughtering people on the ground, and he saw Tsuna and the others fly up to the top of the tower. In his opinion, this lousy tower could be cut down with one slash.

Therefore, when Kenpachi was dealing with a Gillian, he deliberately accumulated some spiritual pressure, and with both hands holding his sword, he slashed out, wielding both the Hollow and the tower together.

Unexpectedly, the power of the King's Seal was destroyed by Tsuna at that time, and some Hollows that had been transported using the King's Seal were forced to return to their original space.

This resulted in Kenpachi slicing off a third of the ground connecting to the Sokyoku Hill with a single Kenpachi at the end of the battle.

The consequence of Kenpachi's strike was that the Sokyoku Hill became shaky and showed signs of tilting. Just then, a sea of pink flowers crashed onto the Sokyoku Hill, straightening it.

"The Sokyoku Hill still holds criminals from the Seireitei. Captain Zaraki, you were reckless." The one who walked over was Byakuya Kuchiki, who used Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.

Kenpachi turned his head away from Byakuya's position. He knew that his attack had gone a bit too far, but he was just a killer; he really couldn't save buildings.

Byakuya glanced at the broken section of the Sokyoku Hill. He didn't criticize Kenpachi's behavior too much, but instead called out to the white-haired boy kneeling on the ground not far away.

"Captain Hitsugaya, if possible, please freeze the broken section of the Sokyoku Hill."

In terms of short-term repair, Ice Style Zanpakuto undoubtedly have the advantage.

Hearing the shouts from others, Toshiro, who had been immersed in grief, reacted slightly. He should have made up his mind, but at the last moment, he saw his best friend again, and his self-frozen heart shattered instantly.

"Huh?" Toshiro stood up, not listening to what Byakuya was saying at all, but he quickly understood what Byakuya meant from the direction Byakuya was pointing.

Toshiro drew his Zanpakuto and softly called out, "Seated atop the frozen heavens, Hyōrinmaru."

To everyone's surprise, not only Toshiro's Zanpakuto reacted, but the purple Zanpakuto he was holding also glowed.

With the infusion of spiritual pressure, a white, chilling aura emanated from Toshiro's side, and two ice dragons emerged from the two swords. However, it was clear that the dragon on the purple sword was Little Ichi and had no expression.

Without a second thought, Toshiro toward the broken section of the Sokyoku Hill. A freezing sound rang out, and in an instant, the Sokyoku Hill was frozen dozens of meters high.

This far exceeded Toshiro's power. His original plan was to simply create an ice sculpture wedge to place in the Sokyoku Hill, but the ice power he unleashed was so strong that it didn't create ice but froze it.

"Wow, Captain Hachi has become so amazing!"

A soft mass appeared behind Toshiro's head; it was his Vice-Captain Rangiku Matsumoto. This was a move Rangiku often used to tease Toshiro, but as soon as her breasts touched Toshiro, she instinctively bounced several meters away.

Rangiku clutched her chest, looking at Toshiro with a hint of fear. Cold, so cold! When did her cute young captain become so icy?

With a whoosh, Toshiro exhaled a breath of cold air, and as he trembled slightly, a layer of ice and snow, barely visible to the naked eye, fell from his body.

Toshiro couldn't remember the last time he felt this way. The last time was back in Rukongai, when, without proper Bleach training, he didn't know how to use his power.

Toshiro stared blankly at the other sword in his hand. Apart from the different color, this empty Zanpakuto had completely transformed into the shape of Hyōrinmaru.

No wonder Hyōrinmaru split the power in two when he acquired the Zanpakuto's power. If he had given it directly to Toshiro, his weaker self would probably have frozen to death.

"How is it? Can you withstand this power?" Tsuna asked, walking up to Toshiro. It seemed his initial guess was correct; Toshiro only possessed half the power of Hyōrinmaru.

Judging from the fact that Toshiro only slightly manipulated his Zanpakuto just now, Toshiro, wielding two Hyōrinmaru, already had the effect of Ryūjin Jakka changing the battlefield with Ryūjin Jakka.

This was also thanks to the self-sacrifice of the spirit of the other sword, Hyōrinmaru; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for Toshiro to wield this other sword.

This is still the case with dual swords; Tsuna is already eager to see just how powerful Ice Style Zanpakuto that fuses two Hyōrinmaru into one really is.

Toshiro held up his Zanpakuto and slowly said, "This power is heavy, but I will definitely master it, because this is his wish!"

Tsuna smiled. It was good that Toshiro wasn't discouraged. He wouldn't need to rush to Toshiro's side for the next while. Hyōrinmaru alone was enough to keep Toshiro focused on all his energy.

"Well done, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto walked over unhurriedly, leaning on his cane. Anyone who didn't know him would probably think he was an old man on his deathbed.

"You're really good at holding your temper. I thought you were going to slash me in with your Zanka no Tachi," Tsuna teased.

The power of the King's Seal is indeed very strong, capable of directly influencing a region. However, the King's Seal is ultimately just a creation, not the possession of the Soul King. Its power cannot compare to that of Tsuna and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, whose combined strength is enough to influence the Soul Society.

"With you here, I have no worries," Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto said calmly, then looked at Toshiro, "Toshiro Hitsugaya, when you report to the First Division tomorrow, remember to bring your haori."

After saying that, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he stopped and comforted him, saying, "Make good use of that power, and don't let him down."

Toshiro was deeply moved by the words spoken by the rigid old man, and shouted, "Yes, Captain-Commander Yamamoto!"

A smile appeared on Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's face, indicating that Toshiro had returned to the Gotei 13.

Time passed quietly, and some time later, at the Sawada residence.

That's right, Tsuna now a homeowner in Soul Society. He never imagined that his first house would be in Soul Society World of the Living.

This house was a gift from Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto to Tsuna. Given Tsuna's strength and status in Soul Society, he was more than capable of owning a house.

This house is also where Ichigo and the others stay in Soul Society. After all, the Shiba Clan is located in the isolated Rukongai, so it's not very convenient for them to enter and Seireitei.

Tsuna had just gotten home from work when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door. The door was flung open without any ceremony, and it was Urahara Kisuke businessman.

"What brings you here?" Tsuna asked curiously.

Urahara Kisuke is now working in a research lab next to the Squad 12, where Kurotsuchi Mayuri. And today he actually has time to visit Tsuna?

"I've heard rumors lately that Bleach has died in Rukongai," Urahara said, pouring himself a cup of tea without any hesitation.

"Something happened to Bleach? That's not your responsibility, is it?" Tsuna curiously. The Gotei 13 protects the entire Soul Society, and it's not unusual for one or two Bleach to die occasionally. There are special squads to handle that.

Not to mention that Urahara Kisuke was just a researcher, not even a member of the Squad 12, so he had even less reason to get involved in the deaths of Bleach.

"Hehe, of course, that Bleach's death wasn't simple." Urahara revealed a sly smile. "According to the news from the 13th Division, that Bleach died from a sword wound, without any trace of Hollow spiritual pressure."

"Not a feint, a knife wound, a master from Rukongai? No, there's something wrong with this knife wound," Tsuna quickly analyzed.

"That's right, this Bleach's Zanpakuto is wind-type, and the wounds on his body look like they were cut by the wind, fine and even..."

At this Urahara's story, Tsuna understood why he had sought him out. "So, that Bleach died by your own hand?"

"That's my guess too. Combined with what you asked me to find before, I suspect he's already shown himself." Urahara covered half his face with his folding fan, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Tsuna. "When do we make our move?"

"If it really is him, we must seize him. He's the key to the next phase of Soul Society." Tsuna had no intention of resting anymore. He stood up, dusted off non-existent dust, and said, "Let's go to the First Division."

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, Urahara Kisuke, I haven't prepared dinner for you," Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto said calmly from the First Division.

Spending time with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto has taught this little old man to crack jokes.

"I don't have time to eat, old man. The shopkeeper and I are going out of Rukongai. When we come back, remember to hand over that sealed place." Tsuna said without any politeness.

Hearing this, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto lost his appetite. He had seen the detailed outline of Tsuna's Soul Society training plan before, and he immediately understood what Tsuna and Urahara were looking for.

"I understand. This is a matter of great importance, and I cannot act on my own. I entrust it to you, Sawada Tsunayoshi!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto said solemnly.

"Don't worry, that thing is very useful to me too." Tsuna spread his hands and said, "Since we're already here, let's get an entry/exit pass."

Logically speaking, it would have been effortless for Tsuna and Urahara to slip out of Seireitei, but with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's help, it would have been even easier for them, and there was no need for them to sneak around.

(PS: I used this movie, "Hyōrinmaru," to completely elevate Hyōrinmaru's status. When Hachi comes out of seclusion again, Hyōrinmaru will rightfully be the strongest Ice Style Zanpakuto.)

The Hyōrinmaru movie has ended; the next chapter is Zanpakuto Ibunroku.
