World of the Living, Karakura Town, night.
"Getsuga Tenshō!"
"Boom boom!"
Ignoring the virtual figure behind him who gradually turned into Reishi, Ichigo Kurosaki carried the huge kitchen knife-like Zangetsu, rubbed his chin, and let out a big yawn.
"Really, I have to get up in the middle of the night to kill Xu. Now I'm so sleepy, I have to go home and go to sleep!"
After muttering, another yawn sounded, but the sudden, unfamiliar and strange Reiatsu disappeared in a flash, and his forward steps suddenly stopped. Ichigo Kurosaki turned to look in the direction from which Reiatsu came, frowning.
"This strange Reiatsu is... the mysterious boy named Naruto Uzumaki before. What's going on..."
However, before Ichigo Kurosaki could think about it, another Reiatsu came from far away. The familiar weak Reiatsu fluctuations immediately surprised Ichigo Kurosaki. He became worried, gritted his teeth, and immediately Shunpo left.
"Rukia······"
······
At the same time, World of the Living and Karakura Town were on the street with people coming and going.
Sensing the flash of fluctuation, Shadow, who was being pulled forward by Yoruichi Shihōin, suddenly stopped in his steps. His pupils with a little bit of strange red light in the darkness dilated slightly, and his face was full of shock and disbelief.
"That Reiatsu, no, it's not Reiatsu, that feeling is... it's chakra!" Cold sweat instantly flowed down from his head, Shadow's hands He grabbed his black hair, which had grown a little, and exerted force unconsciously; "But, how could it be... impossible, how could he come to this world, impossible, I must have made a mistake, yes, it must be an hallucination caused by being too tired recently!"
Shadow kept comforting himself, but...
"Shadow, Shadow!"
Being brought back to his senses by Yoruichi Shihōin's cry, Shadow raised his head slightly, his voice slightly hoarse; "What's wrong, Lady Yoruichi!"
"What's wrong with you!" Yoruichi Shihōin said with worry on his wheat-colored face; "Shadow······"
"Nothing, Lady Yoruichi!"
Before Yoruichi Shihōin finished speaking, Shadow shook his head. He didn't want to say it and couldn't say it, right?
"Cut!"
Pouring his lips, Yoruichi Shihōin stopped asking any more questions, and then turned around and walked forward. Since he didn't want to say anything, Yoruichi Shihōin didn't want to ask anything anymore. However, just as he took a step, the familiar Reiatsu from the fierce fight came from a distance.
"Ichigo, Kuchiki, and who is that strange Reiatsu! Shadow, let's go over and have a look!"
"Oh!"
Turning to look in the direction Yoruichi Shihōin Shunpo was going, Shadow hesitated for a moment and followed closely.
"Probably, I'm really too worried! That brat Naruto can't possibly appear here, can he?"
······
World of the Living, Karakura Town, suburbs.
When Yoruichi Shihōin and Shadow arrived, Senkaimon had slowly closed and dissipated into the air, leaving only Ichigo Kurosaki who was about to catch up and Rukia Kuchiki who was unconscious on the ground.
"Ichigo!"
"Mr. Yoruichi, Mr. Shadow!" Hearing Yoruichi Shihōin's voice, Ichigo Kurosaki turned around in surprise.
"What's going on!"
Nodding, Yoruichi Shihōin squatted next to Rukia Kuchiki and asked Ichigo Kurosaki who ran over.
"I don't know much about this!" Ichigo Kurosaki said hurriedly; "It's just that the guy I fought with just now, Rukia said he was her Zanpakutō Sode no Shirayuki,..."
"Zanpakutō!" Yoruichi Shihōin was immediately surprised; "How could..."
"······"
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and Shadow looked at Zanpakutō tightly in his hand without trace, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Let's not talk about this for now!" Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Shadow, who had been silent, and said worriedly; "Mr. Shadow, please check how Rukia is doing. She was seriously injured!"
"Ah!" In response, Shadow stepped forward, squatted down and took a closer look at Rukia Kuchiki; "It's nothing serious, it's just that he was injured and Reiatsu passed out from exhaustion. He will be fine after a few days of recovery!"
"That's it!" Ichigo Kurosaki was not only relieved; "Then I'll be relieved!"
"Ichigo!" Yoruichi Shihōin stood up and said in a deep voice, "You'd better send Rukia to Kisuke!"
"Then Mr. Yoruichi, what are you going to do?" Ichigo Kurosaki picked up Rukia Kuchiki and asked.
"I plan to go to Soul Society with Shadow!" Yoruichi Shihōin patted his forehead, and Yoruichi Shihōin sighed; "Zanpakutō actually materialized and attacked the owner. Soul Society must have had something happen again. It's really troublesome. He hasn't been idle for long!"
"······" Ichigo Kurosaki immediately lowered his head helplessly. In response to Yoruichi Shihōin's complaints, he was no longer able to get brackets.
"Then, I'll leave first!" Ichigo Kurosaki said, and his body disappeared in an instant.
"Let's go too! Shadow!"
"Oh!"
······
Soul Society, Seireitei.
After walking out of Senkaimon, Yoruichi Shihōin and Shadow stood on a high place and looked at Seireitei below their feet. There were ruins everywhere, and the number of collapsed houses and buildings was too numerous to count. It seemed that the battle had not ended for a long time, and wisps of gunpowder smoke were still rising.
"It's really terrible!" Yoruichi Shihōin frowned deeply; "What on earth is going on!"
"There is no one here anymore!" Shadow said calmly.
"Go and ask someone first. Everyone is there!"
Yoruichi Shihōin said, the figure Shunpo came down, and Shadow followed without saying a word and jumped down.
"Lady Yoruichi!"
A familiar voice sounded from behind, Soi Fon, Ōmaeda Marechiyo led a group of Punishment Force dressed in black and ran out from the corner.
"It's Soi Fon!" Yoruichi Shihōin turned around and nodded in surprise; "You came just in time, tell me what's going on first!"
"Yes, Lady Yoruichi!" Soi Fon bowed respectfully and replied; "It's a person named Muramasa who for some reason made all of our Zanpakutō sword souls materialize, making it impossible to solve them. Released, and led Zanpakutō to fight against Bleach. Although the damage was heavy, most of the people were safe and sound, but Captain Komamura was seriously injured, and Captain Kuchiki... his whereabouts are unknown!"
"······" Shadow suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"What! Byakuya He..." Yoruichi Shihōin frowned and shook his head, "Then everyone is there now!"
"In the ambulance duty room of Fourth Division!" Soi Fon replied; "It can be said that it has the least losses among all the squads of Seireitei, so they are all over there!"
"That's it!" nodded, Yoruichi Shihōin said; "But, having said that, Soi Fon, you should be leading a patrol! Why are you here!"
"Because I found something!" Soi Fon said, taking out a simple short knife from his arms.
"Is it Asauchi! What do you think, Shadow... What's wrong with you... Shadow!"
Ignoring Yoruichi Shihōin and Shadow's heavy breathing, the dark eyes with a little bit of strange red light shrank violently, staring closely at the dagger in Soi Fon's hand. There was a faint ferocious look on his angular face. The dagger was so familiar to Shadow that he could never mistake it.
White Fang's Blade, that is White Fang's Blade, it is the only relic left to him by his deceased master Sakumo Hatake, and it is also the in his previous life. Shinobi World accompanied him to kill countless enemies and his companion for many years. In that battle where they both died together, he had clearly entrusted it to Kakashi Hatake again. How could he... appear here?
"Shadow······"
"Shadow-sama······"
"Where did you find it!" The voice was low, with an almost irrepressible impulse. Shadow stepped forward, grabbed Soi Fon's shoulders, and shouted the Roar loudly; "Tell me! Soi Fon, where did you find it, tell me quickly!"
"Shadow Master!"
"Shadow, what happened, please calm down, please!"
Looking at Shadow's crazy look and Soi Fon's cries of pain, Yoruichi Shihōin quickly stepped forward and wanted to pull Shadow's hand away, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't.
"Shadow······"
"Tell me, Soi Fon!"
"On... on the mountain near Ninth Division!"
Seeing the violent look of Shadow in front of her, who was already on the verge of erupting, Soi Fon was stunned, with cold sweat flowing down her face. She answered, but as soon as she finished speaking, she felt that the short knife in her hand was snatched away, and then, a figure passed by.
"Shadow, stop!" Yoruichi Shihōin shouted sharply; "Where are you going!"
"Lady Yoruichi!" He stopped suddenly, Shadow He didn't look back, his whole body was trembling, even his voice was like this.
"This knife... This knife..." Shadow turned around and said loudly; "It is the relic left to me after my master died. I... I must..."
"Go ahead!" In a light tone, Yoruichi Shihōin nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "I'm waiting for you at Fourth Division. I'll be right back when I'm done. Did you hear me?"
"······"
Pursing his lips, Shadow looked at Yoruichi Shihōin, nodded heavily, and then, Body Flicker Technique started, and the figure instantly disappeared without a trace.
