Shinigami the Unforgiven in Bleach, Chapter 22: The Truth Revealed. A gust of wind, carrying the intense heat of the sunlight outside, swept into the hall. The spicy dishes on the plates made one's tongue urge to breathe.
"Call."
Rukia fanned herself with her hand. The dish was better than she had imagined. Perhaps it was because Orihime Inoue's cooking was so amazing that her tongue could actually handle the spiciness.
I just can't stop sweating.
Captain Shiraishi, would you like some water?
Seeing that Shiraishi was sweating even more and his face was even redder, she wanted to get up and help him pour a glass of water.
Shiraishi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need. Drinking water immediately after eating spicy food is bad for your health. Let me sit here and rest for a while."
"Oh." Rukia gave up on getting up.
Shiraishi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling utterly helpless about the feet below; he really would have to wash his pants later.
Even in this state, they're still stomping on it.
He could only be thankful that the food was spicy enough that the others didn't notice anything amiss.
Once Ichigo Kurosaki recovered, he said, " Captain Unohana, can you tell us now what caused all of this?"
Retsu Unohana continued massaging Shiraishi under the table, her face serious as she said, "Since you were born, Kisuke Urahara has been paying attention to you."
Humans, Quincy, Shinigami, Hollows—you, a combination of these, possess immense potential.
Ichigo Kurosaki could understand the first three types, but the Hollow power shocked him, and he exclaimed, "How can I have Hollow power?"
"Your mother, Masaki, was corrupted by Hollows created by Aizen, but she didn't turn into a Hollow because your father suppressed it with Isshin own Shinigami power."
Retsu Unohana recounted a story from the past that Ichigo Kurosaki had never heard before, and Ichigo's expression grew increasingly surprised, even forgetting the spiciness in his mouth.
Is this shock? No, it's more like a sense of relief, a sudden realization of the answer to a question that puzzled me as a child.
He was very curious as to why his cousin Kūkaku, was a powerful Shinigami, while his father was a strange old man who didn't even have Zanpakuto.
The answer has now been revealed.
"After you were born, most of the Hollow's power was transferred to you, but the connection between Isshin Gigai and the Hollow remained, which is why you were unharmed."
At this point in Retsu Unohana Retsu's sentence, Orihime Inoue couldn't help but interject, "So, Kurosaki- kun won't be in any trouble after this?"
Sun, Moon, and Splendor
"The premise is that he must control that power. Aizen's strength lies in the fusion of the powers of Shinigami, a Hollow, Quincy."
Retsu Unohana withdrew her foot, stood up from her seat, and said in a deep voice, " Kisuke Urahara was afraid that you would grow up too early and attract Aizen's attention, so he specially sealed your Shinigami powers."
At the appointed time, he devised a plan to lure Uryū Ishida into unleashing your Shinigami powers.
He told Sora Inoue in his early years that his sister would one day have the opportunity to change the fate of the world.
He deliberately spread the news to Rukia, telling Yasutora Sado Adjuchas's route of advance.
These were things Kisuke Urahara had planned long ago, and in the end, you arrived here just as he predicted.
That's the whole story. If you understand, let's go down to the training grounds and begin teaching you and Rukia how to train for Bankai.
Bang! Ichigo Kurosaki slammed his hand on the table, his face contorted with rage. "What do you take people for?"
He felt a deep aversion to that kind of life where he was controlled and treated like a puppet on strings.
What he thought was a coincidence turned out to be an inevitable outcome that someone else had already prepared for.
Rukia's lonely life was also a loneliness that was artificially created.
How could he not be angry about something like this?
Retsu Unohana said softly, " Kisuke Urahara is annoying because he treats everyone as a cog in the machine that keeps the world running, but we have to admit that the world needs people like him."
I won't force you. If you want to become stronger, if you want to change the world, come with me.
"By the way, Shiraishi, you don't need to come over. Look at all that sweat on you. Go take a shower and get yourself clean."
She emphasized her words, her eyes habitually narrowing into crescent shapes, before walking towards the entrance of the underground training ground.
Ichigo Kurosaki clenched his Riot Games, a sense of uncertainty washing over him. Should he go down?
" Ichigo, I'm going down. No matter what Kisuke Urahara plans, I've always followed my heart."
Rukia didn't try to persuade Ichigo Kurosaki to come down with her; instead, she chose to lead the way.
Ichigo Kurosaki, then suddenly smiled and murmured, "Yes, we made the decision to come together based on our own will."
"Keep up the good work, I'm going to take a shower now."
Seeing this, Shiraishi was finally able to stand up with peace of mind. He vanished with a single Steel Tempest, searched the entire mansion, located the bathroom, and then quickly took off his clothes and began to take a shower.
He scrubbed his entire body until it was bright red, then repeatedly washed his dirty pants and clothes, and then frantically wrung them dry.
The person was wrapped in a white bath towel, which should normally be used by Unohana, and it had a faint herbal scent.
He took a deep sniff, then hung the clothes out to dry in the yard, feeling incredibly refreshed.
call.
A familiar Reiatsu appeared in the corridor.
Shiraishi turned around.
Soi Fon, whom we hadn't seen in a long time, stood in the shadows of the corridor, with shoulder-length short hair, wearing a light blue halter-neck backless top and a blue and white checkered skirt that covered her knees.
" Soi Fon!" he exclaimed with delight.
Soi Fon's light gray, childlike eyes trembled with delight, but she also had to maintain her image. She clenched her hands behind her back and said in a pretentious manner, "Hmm, Shiraishi, long time no see."
I missed you so much.
Shiraishi stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
Soi Fon's heart skipped a beat. She didn't refuse, but hugged him back and began to greedily absorb his scent.
Hiss, hiss, Soi Fon sniffed and said, "Why do you smell faintly of herbs? Is this towel Unohana's?"
Oops!
Shiraishi stood there, forgetting about the incident, and subconsciously said, "My clothes are too dirty, I'll borrow them for a while."
Soi Fon immediately pushed him away, scrutinizing him Shindō, "Just borrowing it temporarily, huh? You guys didn't just finish doing...?"
No, absolutely not.
Shiraishi loudly denied it, inwardly lamenting that he shouldn't have lied to Soi Fon in the very first sentence, which made him feel increasingly guilty afterwards.
They're still too young.
He had never tried to belong to two different women in the same minute.
Soi Fon crossed her arms, circled him once, and said expressionlessly, "You're so clean now. Perfect, let's go to that room over there, let me taste you first."
"Uh, it's not appropriate to go outside in broad daylight, shall we?"
Shiraishi replied weakly, thinking to herself, "If the door is opened when we're doing it, the thought of that scene is so embarrassing I wish I could turn into an ostrich."
"You think you've been enduring all these years?"
Soi Fon transformed from a kitten into a ferocious tiger, snarling, "If you dare utter another word to me, believe me, I'll do your bidding right here and now!"
Having said that, Shiraishi didn't hesitate. He decided to take advantage of Retsu Unohana's continued instruction of Ichigo Kurosaki and finish her off first. "Long time no see. You've gotten so arrogant. I'll make you cry and beg for my daddy later!"
