World of the Living, Karakura Town, Urahara Shop.
"Mr. Urahara, Miss Yoruichi, then we will go back first!"
Looking up at the silver-white moon, Ichigo Kurosaki scratched his head and said, "Rukia, I'll leave it to you. If you have any trouble, please let me know!"
"Okay!"
Hearing this, Kisuke Urahara, who was shaking a small fan, agreed directly, and Yoruichi Shihōin, who had been leaning on the door frame next to him, also nodded.
Seeing this scene, Ichigo Kurosaki said nothing more and turned around to leave with Uryu Ishida, Yasutora Sado, and Orihime Inoue.
"Bang!!! Ah!!!"
However, just as he took a step forward, there was a bang, and Urahara Shop's wooden door was violently knocked open. Shikamaru Nara, who was still wearing a pineapple head, rushed out with cold sweat on his face, and ran behind Uryu Ishida in a hurry, as if there was something terrible chasing him behind.
"Hey! Nara······"
"Please, Ishida, take me with you!"
Before Uryu Ishida could finish speaking, Shikamaru Nara grabbed the corner of his clothes, carefully stuck his head out, and whispered.
"What's wrong!" Uryu Ishida asked in confusion.
"I, no, it's Brother Luoshan..."
"Shikamaru Nara!!!"
A low roar suddenly sounded, and Shikamaru Nara was immediately frightened. The words he had not finished speaking were swallowed back into his throat, and his face turned red in an instant.
Urahara Shop In front of the tattered wooden door, a tall man appeared. He had slightly long black hair, and a layer of white bandages wrapped around his chest and abdomen. On his handsome and angular face, his eyes with a little bit of demonic red light in the darkness faintly exuded a sense of wildness, and the corners of his raised mouth were filled with a arrogant and arrogant smile.
"Dark... Mr. Shadow!"
Ichigo Kurosaki The four of them were stunned. They had never seen Shadow like this.
"Brother Luo...Luoshan, that... that..."
"Stop this and that, bastard!"
The figure suddenly appeared behind Shikamaru Nara. Shadow grabbed his pineapple head, turned him around, grinned, and said, "Didn't I say what I said! I asked you to take good care of Ino, but you actually said that the girl is always crying. Are you bullying her?"
"It hurts! Let go, brother!" Shikamaru Nara shouted miserably while holding Shadow's arm; "I've already said that I don't have it anymore, and it's none of my business. Brother Luoshan, it's not like you don't know that Ino likes you. I just..."
"Stop being so wordy!"
He let go of the pineapple head in his hand, and then knocked it with a fist. Shadow bared his sharp teeth and shouted in embarrassment.
"Luoshan Brother, you can't be so unreasonable!"
"Hey!" Shaking his clenched fist, Shadow grinned, "Hey! Boy, have you forgotten, I have always believed that big fists are the last word!"
"Cut!" Suddenly a black line appeared on one end, and Shikamaru Nara turned his head to one side.
"Why, kid, why are you acting like a child when you are so grown up!" Shadow rubbed his nose, crossed his arms, narrowed his eyes, and grinned, "But then again, Shikamaru, do you like Sakura!"
"Little...Sakura!" Shikamaru Nara turned his head stiffly and stared blankly at Shadow with his eyes wide open.
"Isn't it!" Shadow shouted in feigned surprise, bending slightly and getting close to Shikamaru Nara's petrified face; "Could it be Hinata!"
"······"
"That's not true! Then it's Tenten!"
"Luoshan······Brother!"
Gritting his teeth, Shikamaru Nara pushed Shadow's face away, blushing and shouted, "Don't make such a joke, Ino likes you, Sakura likes Sasuke, Hinata likes Naruto, not to mention Tenten, she likes that guy Neji, don't blame it all on me, besides, it's not them that I like, it's..."
As he spoke, it was as if he had said something he shouldn't have said. Shikamaru Nara reacted and covered his mouth, his face so red it looked like he could bleed.
"Haha!" He laughed suddenly, and Shadow patted Shikamaru Nara's shoulder hard, grinning widely; "So that's it, it's that girl Temari! How about it, did brother Shikaku tell you when to go to Gaara to propose marriage!"
"I don't like that woman! Luoshan Brother, don't talk nonsense!"
"Haha!!!"
"······"
Although no one spoke, everyone could feel that Shadow was happier than ever before.
Looking at that smile, Yoruichi Shihōin was speechless and sighed softly. In her memory, there were only a handful of times when Shadow even smiled, let alone such a happy look.
However, Yoruichi Shihōin could not have expected at all what kind of changes the appearance of Shikamaru Nara, or rather their appearance, would bring to Shadow! Is this kind of change really good?
······
At the same time, World of the Living, Karakura Town, and Visored Base under the warehouse barrier.
"Woof woof! woof woof!"
Dogs barked constantly in the huge space, but there was no sound other than that. Shinji Hirako, Hiyori Sarugaki, Kensei Muguruma and many other Visored formed a circle. Of course, Naruto Uzumaki were also indispensable.
Squatting in front of Akamaru, listening to the continuous sounds, Kurenai Yuhi nodded from time to time, but had no intention of speaking. Naruto Uzumaki was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head, looking like he wanted to speak but didn't dare.
"Hey! Teacher Hong, you should say something! What did Akamaru say!"
Finally, Akamaru stopped shouting, but Kurenai Yuhi frowned and still had no intention of speaking. Naruto Uzumaki suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and asked hurriedly.
"Don't make any noise, Naruto!" Neji Hyuga said in a deep voice.
"What!" He turned his head unconvinced, but Naruto Uzumaki still sat down.
"Although I don't understand much, it's probably what you guessed!" Kurenai Yuhi raised his head and said with a solemn expression; "Akamaru said they were a group of men in black with knives, and they took away Ya and Shino!"
"And Shino!" Naruto Uzumaki said in surprise; "But, what does it mean that Akamaru is always soaring to the sky and exerting all its strength!"
"I don't know either!" Shaking his head, Kurenai Yuhi stood up and sighed; "Akamaru said it was chased by a group of men in black and fell from the sky after passing through a sliding door!"
"Door..."
"What!"
"Still don't understand!"
"······"
"Soul Society!"
"What!" He was stunned for a moment, then jumped up in shock. Naruto Uzumaki took a few steps to Shinji Hirako who suddenly spoke, and asked eagerly, "What is Soul Society! Is it the place Akamaru said! Do you know how to go there..."
"Naruto, calm down first!" He patted Naruto Uzumaki on the shoulder. Asuma Sarutobi blew out the smoke ring in his mouth, turned to look at Shinji Hirako, and said, "If you really know that place, please tell us!"
"They all say it's Soul Society!"
Turning his head and looking at the crowd of Visored around him, Shinji Hirako sighed, was silent for a moment, and then said, "So that's it, your companion was captured by Bleach!"
"Bleach!"
"It's the man in black that the dog said!" Shinji Hirako said and stood up; "You will go and save your companions!"
"We will send you to Soul Society, but what happens after that is up to you. We cannot and cannot interfere!"
"I know, please!"
······
At the same time, the battle between Soul Society and Seventh Division has reached a stalemate. Shūhei Hisagi, who cannot liberate Zanpakutō, is at a disadvantage in the battle with Shino Aburame, who was already seriously injured. Before he recovered, and Kiba Inuzuka, who was no longer around Jōnin dog Akamaru, was at an absolute disadvantage against his enemy Iba Tetsuzaemon. Without the help of Shino Aburame, he would have been defeated long ago.
The battle at Tenth Division is also equally close. Toshiro Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto cannot liberate Zanpakutō, and can only use Zankensoki came to fight the enemy, but as for Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi, since there was no Shikamaru Nara, the perfect formation of Ino–Shika–Cho could not be formed.
There are similar battles at Third Division, Renji Abarai, Ikkaku Madarame vs. Rock Lee, Yumichika Ayase, Izuru Kira vs. Tenten, although they are two pairs. One, but it didn't take any big advantage. Even if Zanpakutō couldn't be liberated, Soi Fon was still a close match with Might Guy. After all, Eight Gates and Shunkō are moves that cannot be underestimated.
If there is any difference, it is the battle at Rukongai, Kūkaku Shiba, Ganju Shiba versus Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno.
Well! Having said that, Ganju Shiba, who was exhausted by Reiatsu, is no match for Sasuke Uchiha. Although his arm has just been reattached, and Kūkaku Shiba, which has been dormant for a hundred years, has not fully recovered its strength as the captain, but if he wants to deal with Sakura Haruno is not difficult, even if you add another Sasuke Uchiha, don't forget, unlike Bleach in Seireitei, Kūkaku Shiba can perform Bankai!
It seems that they felt the chakra in the deadlock between their companions. Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno did not want to fight, but found an opportunity to get rid of Kūkaku Shiba and headed for Seireitei. Behind them, Kūkaku Shiba and Ganju Shiba were chasing after them.
······
At the same time, World of the Living, Karakura Town, Visored Base.
"Hey! Tell me, is this really okay for us to do?"
Looking at the Japanese-style sliding door that slowly disappeared in front of his eyes, Hiyori Sarugaki, who had been silent for a long time, sighed and asked in a calm tone.
"You are referring to the matter of us sending them to Soul Society!" Kensei Muguruma turned around and asked.
"Yeah!" nodded, Hiyori Sarugaki said hesitantly; "You all saw it, right? They entered Senkaimon directly!"
"That's what Hiyori said!" Lisa Yadomaru looked up from the swimsuit magazine and said, "Who are they? They don't need to be transformed into Reishi..."
"That kind of thing doesn't matter anymore!" Shinji Hirako said suddenly, turned around and walked underground.
"But, Hirako······"
"Hiyori, I already said it doesn't matter..."
