"I don't want to hear what will happen if I don't do it!" Ichigo Kurosaki shouted; "If there is no other way... then there is no other way but to do it!"

In just an instant, a burst of darkness erupted from his body. A man in black robes, sunglasses, and messy hair appeared behind Ichigo Kurosaki. He said lightly, "It seems that you have finally recovered! Ichigo!"

"Uncle!" Ichigo Kurosaki shouted.

"Did you hear what I just said?" Yoruichi Shihōin took a few steps forward and asked calmly, holding his hands on his chest.

"Of course!"

"The method of fighting is up to you!" Yoruichi Shihōin said in a condensed voice; "Can we start now?"

"Okay!" The man, Zanpakutō Zangetsu, nodded and slapped his hand on the ground. As the ground trembled, countless strange-shaped Zanpakutō appeared in the surrounding open space.

"What... what is this!" Ichigo Kurosaki shouted in surprise.

"Among these, only one is the real Zangetsu!" Zangetsu said calmly; "The only one that can defeat me is that one. If you want me to reach a state of submission, then find it before I kill you! And... try to defeat me!"

With a sound of "swish!", Ichigo Kurosaki and Zangetsu each took a few steps back at the same time, pulled out the Zanpakutō beside them, and attacked. "Dang!" They exchanged words together, which also kicked off the battle.

"Can Ichigo succeed!" Yoruichi Shihōin asked Shadow who came over.

"That depends on him!" Shadow replied.

"Really!" Yoruichi Shihōin shook his head and said with a smile; "Shadow, why don't you also use Tenshintai to call out your Zanpakutō body!"

"No need!" Shadow whispered; "Lady Yoruichi, I have a feeling that knowing the name may not be a good thing for me. Besides, it is enough to be able to use its ability!"

"Really!" Yoruichi Shihōin shrugged helplessly and said; "But Shadow, what is your Zanpakutō ability!"

"How to put it!" Shadow thought for a while and said, "What I am is what it is!"

"That's it! It's pretty awesome!"

"I think it's a little boring!"

"Don't be ignorant of your blessings when you are in the midst of them, okay? You idiot!" Yoruichi Shihōin was very helpless.

"Hey!" Shadow was slightly startled, then twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Lady Yoruichi, if you keep calling me stupid, I will really become stupid!"

"What can I do!" Yoruichi Shihōin raised his head indifferently; "Are you a fool to begin with!"

"······"Shadow, defeated.

······

The fight between Ichigo Kurosaki and Zangetsu was a straight-ahead battle with no tricks. Speed, strength and skill were the three most important aspects. However, Ichigo Kurosaki was still too young at this time!

With a loud "Boom!" and the smoke aroused, Ichigo Kurosaki was violently thrown away, fell to the ground, and slid a few meters away before stopping. However, he did not stand up for a long time, and it seemed that he could not even move his fingers.

"Stand up, Ichigo!" Yoruichi Shihōin stood on the stone and shouted loudly; "There are only three days, Ichigo. There is no time for you to linger. I say it again, stand up, Ichigo..."

"Ah!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, Ichigo Kurosaki lowered his head and trembled all over.

"Stop dilly-dallying, do you want all your time to be wasted?" Yoruichi Shihōin shouted sharply.

"It doesn't matter!" Zangetsu slowly walked over and said, "If he can't stand up on his own, I will force him to stand up!"

"Really! Then I'll leave it to you!"

"Of course!"

······

Time passed slowly, there was no turning back, but there was no way to turn back.

The battle between Ichigo Kurosaki and Zangetsu is still going on. He is persisting. Although he is bruised and bruised, he is still continuing. Persistence does not mean success, but without that persistence, there will be no success. From this point of view, Ichigo Kurosaki has already succeeded halfway.

"Even Blade Severance, I can start to maintain my posture!" Half-kneeling on a high rock, Yoruichi Shihōin held the controller in his hand while inputting Spiritual Power into it, stabilizing the normal operation of Tenshintai.

"Hurry up! Ichigo!" Yoruichi Shihōin murmured, his golden eyes full of expectation; "The deadline is coming soon!"

"Lady Yoruichi, do you really have such great confidence in him?" Shadow suddenly asked.

"Yeah!" Yoruichi Shihōin nodded and said, "That's right! But, having said that, Shadow, what do you think?"

"Ask me..."

"You are an expert with a knife!"

"Well! I said it all depends on him!" Shadow said softly; "As for what Zangetsu said, to find the inner fragments that are only formed for fighting, it is simply nonsense. The real battle is not just playing house. The purpose of this battle, in the final analysis, is to let Ichigo Kurosaki see himself clearly! The heart is the most important thing!"

······

The battle was still going on. Looking at Ichigo Kurosaki who was getting more and more courageous as he fought, Yoruichi Shihōin frowned, his golden eyes full of solemnity.

"This guy Ichigo, at the moment of contact, matched the opponent's knife speed, deflecting the blade and buffering the opponent's attack! Moreover, he launched an instant counterattack without slowing down, which is obviously different from the previous way of fighting hard by relying only on the strength of Zangetsu!"

"Is he absorbing it! At an astonishing speed and an astonishing level!" Yoruichi Shihōin sighed; "Kisuke, it's exactly as you said, this guy is really..."

"I can already fight with a knife for more than five minutes, but I'm almost reaching the limit!" Turning his head, Yoruichi Shihōin asked; "Shadow, what time is it outside now!"

"It's already night, Lady Yoruichi!" Shadow replied.

"Really!"

Nodding, Yoruichi Shihōin immediately stopped inputting Tenshintai Spiritual Power, jumped off the rock, lazily stretched his waist, tied his hair, and then said to Ichigo Kurosaki who looked over, "Put down the knife! Ichigo, the first day of practice is over!"

"It's finally over!" Hearing this, Ichigo Kurosaki relaxed completely and felt that he had no strength at all.

"Hey!" He sighed lightly, Yoruichi Shihōin waved his hand and said, "Shadow, take Ichigo to the hot spring!"

"Okay, Lady Yoruichi!"

······

Hot spring, Shadow sat cross-legged on the stone next to her, eyes closed tightly, motionless.

Ichigo Kurosaki, who was soaking in the spring water, was talking to himself incessantly. Shadow really couldn't understand it. Isn't it just a hot spring that can treat simple injuries and relieve fatigue? As for making people so excited.

"Ichigo!" Yoruichi Shihōin came over, stood next to the hot spring, and asked, "Is the water temperature about the same?"

"Mr. Yoruichi, it feels good!" Ichigo Kurosaki answered vaguely, shaking his hands without looking back.

"Really! That's good!" Sifengyuan Yeyi said with a smile as he unbuttoned his coat directly, "Then, I'll come to the bar too!"

"Pfft..." The water in Ichigo Kurosaki's mouth spurted out violently, making him choke and cough.

Shadow, who was sitting on a high rock, tilted his body and fell into the water with a "plop!" but couldn't care about anything else; "Lady Yoruichi, don't make such a joke!"

"Who are you kidding!" Yoruichi Shihōin took on the clothes unhurriedly; "What's wrong! What's wrong!"

"Not good at all!" Shadow and Ichigo Kurosaki shouted loudly and neatly for the first time.

"The reaction was exactly as expected!" Yoruichi Shihōin joked; "What shallow men!"

"Lady Yoruichi!" Shadow the Roar;"You..."

"It's okay if you look like this!" Black Cat Yoruichi reached into the water, and a dry voice came out; "Shadow is angry! You can't tease Ichigo anymore, what a pity!"

"There is nothing to regret..." Ichigo Kurosaki was furious.

"Huh!" Shadow couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay...

"Hey! Mr. Yoruichi!" Ichigo Kurosaki quickly found a topic. If he continues to be teased like this by Black Cat Yoruichi, he will be finished!

"What's the matter!" You walked up to Shadow. Black Cat Yoruichi heard the words and responded.

"I've been thinking, this place looks really similar to that place! It's the training room underground at Urahara Shop!"

"Yes!" Black Cat Yoruichi nodded; "Because that place was built based on this place!"

"That's what happened!" Ichigo Kurosaki suddenly realized.

"Yeah!" Black Cat Yoruichi said; "This place was originally built secretly by me, Kisuke, Kukaku and a few friends when we were young as a secret place to play!"

"Secretly..." Ichigo Kurosaki broke into a cold sweat; "Such a big project can be called secretly!"

"That was a long time ago!" Black Cat Yoruichi said with a nostalgic tone; "When we were children, we all played here. After I entered Stealth Force Punishment Force, Kisuke and they entered Gotei 13, we practiced and improved each other here..."

"Slow... wait! Mr. Yoruichi!" Ichigo Kurosaki said in surprise; "Is Kūkaku Shiba also Bleach! Doesn't their family hate Bleach the most! Also, what is the identity of that guy? Tell me quickly, that guy is really Bleach!"

"Well!" Black Cat Yoruichi nodded solemnly and said; "It's not convenient for me to say anything more about Kukaku, but, Kisuke..."

"I have always found it very strange!" Ichigo Kurosaki suddenly said; "He knows Soul Society very well, and he also has Zanpakutō. Tell me! Mr. Yoruichi, who is that guy!"

"He is the former captain of Gotei 13, Twelfth Division, the founder of the Technology Development Bureau and the man who served as the first generation director!"

"Really!" Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes suddenly widened; "That uncle is such a powerful person! Mr. Yoruichi, your true identity is also so terrifying. So, where is Mr. Shadow! He must be very famous too! He is the captain of that squad!"

"In this case, you are mistaken, Ichigo!" Black Cat Yoruichi grinned, glanced at Shadow, and then said, "Shadow is not Bleach! At least, he has never admitted it!"

"No way!"
