Two More Join
Ichigo Kurosaki once again used the black bow as a blade, kneeling on one knee behind his back, the blade against the back of his neck, forcefully suppressing Grimmjow.
"Tatsuki, bring a few more Bakudo to tie this guy up!" Ichigo shouted to Tatsuki.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to have Ichigo brain, Ichigo. I thought you wouldn't leave any survivors," Tatsuki praised.
"Uh, of course, haha..." Actually, Ichigo's Ichigo was aimed at Grimmjow, but by sheer accident, Grimmjow didn't die and ended up being taken prisoner by Ichigo.
"Perfect, there's no need to keep this one. It's obvious that the one over there knows more." Tatsuki stomped her prisoner to death and unleashed several Bakudo on Grimmjow.
"Damn it! Go ahead and kill me if you dare..."
Grimmjow couldn't accept becoming a prisoner. He made some harsh words in an attempt to provoke Ichigo and the others, but he soon lost his voice as his mouth was tightly bound with a Bakudo.
"Now that it's finished, let's go to the store manager and interrogate him for information."
Ichigo, carrying the caterpillar Grimmjow, approached Yoruichi. Yoruichi put away her phone and said, "Perfect timing, Tsuna and Kisuke will be here soon."
"Seriously, Yoruichi- san? You really need Tsuna and the shopkeeper to make a trip for such a small matter?" Ichigo didn't feel that Grimmjow and the others had caused any harm, so he didn't need to send Tsuna and the others.
"They were planning to go out anyway, and just came back on the way," Yoruichi explained casually.
A streak of light flew in from afar, revealing Masaki Kurosaki wielding Spirit Bow. As soon as she landed, she looked around with a bewildered expression.
"Huh? Where's the void? Why is there nothing left?" Ms. Masa, who had thought she could show off her skills again, felt extremely disappointed.
"Wife, what brings you here? Where are Yuzu and Karin?" Isshin immediately came over.
"Oh dear, I rushed over as soon as I finally got them both to sleep! Ichigo! Is that a bad guy in your hand? Come here and let Mom shoot an arrow at him!"
Masa noticed that the caterpillar in Ichigo's hand had Hollow spiritual pressure, and immediately aimed her Spirit Bow at Grimmjow, startling Ichigo and Isshin into quickly stepping in front of her.
After regaining her normal fighting strength, Masa was itching to fight. Usually, Isshin would leave Ichigo and the others to fight the Hollows in Karakura Town under the Isshin of training the young people. Now that she finally had a proper battle, she had to try it out no matter what.
Knowing Isshin well that his woman would have this problem, he immediately began assigning tasks upon arriving at the scene, all in order to end the battle before Masa could sneak over.
"Hey, Ichigo, you guys go ahead and do your things. Mom and I are going home to take care of the girls!" Isshin grabbed his wife like a pig and rushed home.
With Isshin's departure, the group Shikai. Ryūken also said he was going home to be with his wife, while the group of young people prepared to hold a second show in the basement of Urahara Shop.
In the basement of Urahara Shop, the Senkaimon slowly opened, and Tsuna three companions walked out. As soon as they came out, they heard Kurotsuchi Mayuri complaining.
"Seriously, why didn't we just let that bastard Urahara handle that Arrancar scientist? Coming all the way to the World of the Living is a complete waste of my time."
Although he Urahara Kisuke, Kurotsuchi Mayuri acknowledged Urahara's research abilities and didn't believe that Urahara Kisuke would be afraid of any Arrancar scientists.
"There's no other way. The shop manager also needs to assist me in deterring the enemy, so I can only trouble Captain Kurotsuchi to make the trip." Tsuna patiently explained, "You only need to get two injections, and you'll reap all the benefits he's achieved. It's worth it."
Under Tsuna's reassurance, Kurotsuchi Mayuri reluctantly agreed to the statement, but his narrowed eyes quickly turned to Urahara Kisuke.
Could those damn results be garbage that even Urahara wouldn't even consider worth?
"Hey, let me see if this is the World of the Living of that little leopard?"
After greeting Tatsuki and the others from afar, Tsuna looked at their prisoners. Although he couldn't recognize them as human, the short blue-haired caterpillar was definitely Gero.
"Hmm, Tatsuki, untie him first."
After Tatsuki was freed from his Bakudo, Grimmjow immediately stood up straight, and even with only one hand and one foot left, he could not show any weakness in his aura.
"Damn it! You dare treat me like this? You'll pay the price!"
What gave Grimmjow the courage to speak like this was the Zanpakuto at his waist. He realized that these foolish humans hadn't taken his weapon, which meant there was still hope.
There was still at least a chance to fight to the death, Grimmjow thought, and his gaze had already drifted to Tatsuki, whose attention was completely elsewhere.
This woman is the one who humiliated him into becoming a prisoner; he's going to bite her to death first!
Grimmjow had planned to do this, but suddenly a terrifying pressure appeared on him. Cold sweat poured down his back, and his eyes rolled slightly as he saw the guy who had just appeared and was called Tsuna staring at him with narrowed eyes.
What terrifying pressure! Grimmjow had only ever felt this way with Aizen. Although Hueco Mundo, he dared to challenge everyone in Las Noches, except for Aizen.
This person is actually on par with Lord Aizen?
Grimmjow shook his head, not daring to think about what he was thinking. His body, which had been moving freely, was now frozen in place, unable to move an inch.
Tsuna lightly touched Grimmjow's shoulder with his palm, Grimmjow, completely unable to resist, sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Grimmjow, right? Sit still, and you might still have a chance to live." Tsuna turned to Orihime Inoue and said, "Orihime, please heal him."
"Oh, okay, Twin Heavens Shield, I refuse!" With the heaven-defying power of the Santen Kesshun, it was not difficult for Orihime to repair her broken limbs.
Grimmjow wasn't surprised that his limbs were gradually returning to normal; he was more surprised that Tsuna knew his name. How did the other guy know it?
There's a spy within the organization? A daring idea popped into Grimmjow's mind. What a joke! Someone actually dared to spy on Aizen?
While Grimmjow was receiving treatment, Ichigo and the others chatted with Tsuna.
"Tsuna, where are you guys headed? And you brought Rukia along," Ichigo asked curiously.
"We're planning a trip to Hueco Mundo," Tsuna told everyone without hiding anything.
"Hueco Mundo? I've only heard of it, I've never been there. Can you take me with you?" Ichigo asked curiously. He already knew about the three-world setting and was quite curious about this mysterious Hueco Mundo.
"I want to go too, Tsuna," Tatsuki immediately added.
"There's nothing fun about Hueco Mundo, just endless sand and Hollows that pop up out of nowhere," Tsuna explained. "We're going there this time to conduct some experiments and trade. Once things have settled down, we'll take you there to see for yourselves."
Neither Tatsuki nor Ichigo asked any further questions. Little Ichi had instilled in them an unconditional trust in Tsuna, but it was Uryū discovered the blind spot.
"A trade? A trade with whom? Void? The Arrancar? Or...?"
The moment Tsuna uttered the name "Aizen," the surroundings fell considerably quieter.
That's Aizen, who single-handedly toyed with Soul Society and still managed to leave unscathed. Tsuna actually wants to make a deal with Aizen; this trip is likely to be extremely dangerous.
"Tsuna, I'm ready to help if needed," Ichigo said after a moment's hesitation. Because Aizen was involved, he didn't arrogantly go along, but waited for Tsuna to make a decision.
Ichigo is already the strongest among his friends, and even he says so, so the others don't even have the thought of saying a word.
"Tsuna, you could actually bring a couple more Quincy along." Just as the atmosphere turned somber again, Urahara suggested, "In case your strength is insufficient, the other Quincy can supplement it."
This trip to Hueco Mundo is to conduct an experiment using the power of the Quincy. Only if it succeeds will we have the leverage to negotiate with Aizen.
Urahara's words reminded Tsuna that he had never fired the Spirit Bow and Arrows at full power before, and he didn't know the upper limit of his power. Bringing two people along as backup would be acceptable.
"Ichigo and Uryū, would you like to come with me? We might need your Quincy powers, but I'll protect you." Tsuna didn't make a direct request, respecting their wishes.
"What are you talking about? Just say what you need!" Ichigo said, patting his chest. Uryū nodded in agreement.
"Alright, please call those two uncles and let them know. We'll be leaving right away."
Ichigo and Uryū walked a little further away, and Tatsuki asked with a worried look, "Tsuna, are you sure everything's alright?"
"Don't worry, I've already taken back the Decimo and Byakuran. I'm at my peak right now!" Tsuna said with a smile and a V sign.
"That's good. Be careful." Tatsuki didn't try to persuade him further, leaving everything to Tsuna's discretion.
By this time, Grimmjow's limbs had fully recovered. Tsuna squatted down beside him and said, "Hueco Mundo, could you please show us the way? We don't go to Hueco Mundo often, and we're prone to getting lost."
Grimmjow quickly realized that "Grimmjow Six" was what he meant by being addressed as "Grimmjow Six." Now that his limbs had been restored, he didn't resist much about leading the way. Instead, he snorted and went straight to the question he had been thinking about.
"You guys are really bold, daring to plant spies under Lord Aizen's command."
"So that's what you care about." Seeing Grimmjow's somewhat sinister smile, Tsuna realized and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Aizen knows that we have a spy under his command."
"What!"
Tsuna chuckled. "You underestimate Aizen's magnanimity. As long as his subordinates are easy to use, he doesn't care if you're a traitor or not."
"In other words, Aizen already knew we would know about his situation in Hueco Mundo. Do you understand?"
It sounds absurd, but after thinking about it carefully, Grimmjow realized that this really might be something that Lord Aizen would do...
