A day passed, Ichigo remained the same, lying on the ground without any sign of waking up. Inoue checked on him every hour, and only after Tsuna assured her that Ichigo was not in danger did the worry on her face subside.

Uryū also returned during this time, along with Chad.

It must be said that the Fourth Division's skills and character are both excellent. Chad's external injuries have all been treated. After Chad regained consciousness, Tsuna used his Sun Attribute to accelerate Chad's recovery speed, and now Chad is full of energy again.

Chad, who was skilled in close combat, was thrown by Yoruichi to Tatsuki and Soi Fon's side, making Chad their target.

Yoruichi had no choice. She tried having Tatsuki and Soi Fon train against each other, but Soi Fon, being so stubborn, would always deliberately increase the intensity when training with Tatsuki. In order to prevent Soi Fon from being easily killed by Tsuna next door, Yoruichi had no choice but to drag Chad into the mess as a shield.

Ironically, Uryū originally thought his trip to the Fourth Division wouldn't go smoothly, and he had even prepared to escape with Chad from the inside.

As a result, upon hearing the name Sawada Tsunayoshi, the members of the Fourth Division immediately dared not treat him as Ryoka. After a brief announcement, Uryū easily left the Fourth Division with Chad, while the members of the Fourth Division saw the two who might have attracted trouble off at a distance.

Even after leaving the Fourth Division, Uryū still didn't know what Tsuna had done to the Fourth Division that left such a deep shadow on them.

The reason I say "upper and lower" is because the one Chad was the Vice-Captain of the Fourth Division. That person spoke haltingly, as if he was afraid that if he didn't treat Uryū well, it would cause some trouble.

What Uryū didn't know was that the entire Fourth Division had only received orders from their captain to treat Sawada Tsunayoshi and his associates with utmost respect. This respectful demeanor from the entire Fourth Division was a result of Sawada Tsunayoshi's terrifying reputation for overthrowing the Fourth Division.

As for why the Fourth Division Captain treated those associated with Sawada Tsunayoshi so well, no one in the team knew.

After Uryū returned, Renji Abarai's opponent became him, and another person was born to receive the baptism of the Hirenkyaku. Under the pressure of Uryū's Hirenkyaku, Renji actually learned to use the fur of the Baboon King's cape after his Bankai to defend himself, and used Orochi King to launch an attack on Uryū.

Gradually, Renji began to grasp the true essence of Bankai, but he didn't think about it at all, relying solely on the defense of the Baboon King and Uryū's brute force.

Turning our attention to the girls' group, with Chad joining as a punching bag, Tatsuki and Soi Fon's progress is rapidly improving. Soi Fon is gradually mastering Flash Cry, while Tatsuki is a bit over the top. Yoruichi even said that Tatsuki has found the direction for her own Flash Cry attribute.

Unlike Yoruichi's raging lightning and Yuushirou's explosive flames, Tatsuki 'Flash Cry attribute is water. Every punch and kick she throws generates a flowing spiritual pressure. Her attacks are not ferocious but are very smooth and dense. Her sudden bursts of punches and kicks can unleash attacks that are no less powerful than lightning and fire.

Tsuna had long suspected Tatsuki's attributes. Her attacks after using Flash Cry were as smooth and continuous as flowing water. However, since Tsuna himself did not know how to use Flash Cry Flash Cry, he did not speculate on the next stage of it. But now, with Yoruichi's confirmation, Tatsuki's Flash Cry directly enters the second stage, wrapping her attribute-based spiritual pressure around her fists and feet to fight.

To this end, Tsuna even gave Tatsuki's attack method after Flash Cry a name called Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist, which is very fitting, as the attack is as continuous as flowing water and the explosive power can shatter rocks.

In general, Soi Fon and Tatsuki's Flash Cry training is different. Soi Fon first completes the first stage of Flash Cry and continuously transforms the entangling spiritual pressure before she can explore the next stage of training, while Tatsuki gradually perfects Flash Cry in the second stage.

Yoruichi herself found it difficult to judge which training method was better. Because she had developed this technique, she trained step by step, while her younger brother Yushiro, after being taught by her, could directly unleash a fiery punch in his Flash Cry state, which was also quite powerful.

Yoruichi could only judge Tatsuki and Soi Fon's training progress based on the relative strength of the two sides. This further spurred Soi Fon, who believed that her talent was inferior to Tatsuki's, which was why she had not been able to find her own attribute after Flash Cry. Subsequently, she began to train herself inhumanly.

Tsuna was initially curious about why Soi Fon could train here all day long, but when he saw Soi Fon looking completely weak and then saw Yoruichi grit her teeth and stand up again, Tsuna understood.

With Yoruichi by her side, Soi Fon wouldn't hesitate to betray Soul Society without a second thought. As for the duties of the Squad 2, what are those? Soi Fon completely forgot about them.

Chad didn't get beaten up by Tatsuki and Soi Fon for nothing. After being cut down by Kashiwamura, Chad vaguely felt a strange power within his body. This feeling was very similar to when he awakened his Devil's Left Arm. He tried to guide this power by fighting with Tatsuki and the others.

Tsuna had some guesses about Chad's situation. Chad's Fullbring device was very special. Because of Chad grandfather's teachings, Chad cherished his body very much, and his skin was the container that carried his Fullbring.

Tsuna suspects that Chad's Fullbring is essentially the manifestation of the different powers he has been infected with on his skin. The Giant's Right Arm is human Fullbring, and the Devil's Left Arm comes from Hollow power. Now, when Chad is hit by Kashiwamura's powerful attack, Kashiwamura's Bleach power has also entered Chad's body, guiding Chad to undergo new changes due to Fullbring.

As for why Chad didn't draw out any new power when he was training with Muguruma, the main reason was that it was just a friendly sparring session, and neither of them would use their full strength.

Tsuna intends to see if Chad's new power is as he guessed. If he guesses right, he'll have Uryū shoot Chad with another arrow.

According to the power system of this world, there are mainly four types: Bleach, Hollows, Quincy, and Fullbring. I wonder if Chad, who has gathered the power of all of them, could be considered a mini- Soul King?

Just as Tsuna was lost in thought, Orihime Inoue came over. "Sawada- kun, Ichigo -kun's body is changing."

After seeing that Ichigo's condition was gradually stabilizing, Tsuna had entrusted Ichigo to Inoue's care. Now, upon receiving Inoue's notification, Tsuna immediately said, "Let's go."

In Ichigo's inner world, the figures of Ichigo and White Ichigo gradually merge. After spending some time together, Ichigo has completely won over White Ichigo's heart, and the state of their merging is the best proof of this.

"Give me a hand, Zangetsu!" Ichigo shouted.

"I understand, Ichigo!" White Ichigo immediately responded loudly.

At this moment, the two overlapped, and the power of the Hollow was continuously transmitted to Ichigo's body through Ichigo. In Soul Society, white liquid gathered on Ichigo's face, and another Visored condensed on Ichigo face. Golden eyes suddenly opened, and red spiritual pressure continuously surged from the depths of Ichigo's body.

Driven by this immense Hollow's power, Ichigo effortlessly transitioned from lying down to standing. He stared somewhat dazedly at his hands, on which lay a ball of white liquid. He could freely control this Hollow power, attaching it to his body to form armor or transforming it into claws.

This was the Hollow's power from Zangetsu, far exceeding the power Ichigo possessed when Ichigo the Visored. Just then, Tsuna arrived.

"Tsuna, come on, try my current power!" Ichigo's face lit up with excitement; he figured he might be able to take this opportunity to give Tsuna a good beating.

"Huh? You're getting cocky."

Tsuna was speechless. Ichigo's current expression was a combination of his and White Ichigo's manic state. The Hollow power had already affected Ichigo, making Ichigo guy who never showed off his abilities go crazy.

However, Ichigo now certainly has the right to be arrogant. The Visored on Ichigo's face can no longer be called Visored; it's a helmet, a helmet with a pair of bull horns. The helmet is entirely white, with a vertical red stripe running through each eye as an embellishment.

Wearing this helmet proves that Ichigo has gained the recognition of the Hollow's power within him, and is no longer in a state of stealing half-baked Hollow's power. However, how much of the Hollow Ichigo can actually master now is another matter.

"Enough talk..." Ichigo used Hibiki to Sonido appear in front of Tsuna, his palm covered in liquid, white claws stabbing towards Tsuna. "Take this!"

"Let me see how much confidence White has given you!"

Tsuna's voice also became strange. He also put on a Hollow mask and grabbed Ichigo's wrist. He had long since mastered the Hollowfication power and didn't need to wear an exaggerated Visored like Ichigo.

Ichigo's sudden outburst startled Inoue. Finding that the two were still clear-headed, and after their usual playful banter, she very sensibly jumped aside, giving the space to Ichigo and Tsuna.

"Half a hand isn't enough, Tsuna!" Ichigo used his other hand to strike Tsuna's wrist, causing Tsuna to pull back his grip and freeing Ichigo.

"Then let's give it a try."

Tsuna's voice suddenly came from behind Ichigo, startling Ichigo. Tsuna's Sonido was much faster than Ichigo's previous use, and Ichigo had no time to react.

Crimson spiritual pressure gathered at Tsuna's fingertips, and he unleashed a Crimson Claw attack towards Tsuna 'Ichigo back.

Ichigo quickly activated his Hollowfication power to form a thick Steel Skin behind him. Even so, when Tsuna swung Tsuna claw, Ichigo was still knocked forward and fell down. After several front flips, Ichigo finally came to a stop.

"Hiss~"

A the Heat, stinging pain burned across Ichigo's back. Tsuna had sliced through his Steel Skin with a single claw attack. What kind of attack was that? Why wasn't this kind of technique among the abilities White Ichigo had given him?

"Tsuna, what's that?" Ichigo wasn't embarrassed at all; the two were very familiar with each other.

"You're asking about this? It's just a regular Cero."

A red flash shot out from Tsuna's fingertip, and Cero flew past Ichigo's head. This time, Ichigo clearly felt that it was indeed Cero.

What a load of rubbish!

"What a joke! Can Cero turn into claws?!" Ichigo shouted angrily at Tsuna. He knew exactly what Cero was—a beam of Hollow spiritual pressure attack.

"Of course you wouldn't understand Hollow's power with your half-baked skills," Tsuna said matter-of-factly. As soon as he finished speaking, he reappeared in front of Ichigo with his claws Cero.

Now, the tables have turned.
