"So, he not only lost all his power for you, but also changed his surname and married into your Kurosaki Family?"
"Most importantly, you are actually Pure-Blood Quincy, right?"
Kaien Shiba stood in the hospital room, constantly rubbing his temples.
"Yes, that's right."
Lying in her hospital bed, Masaki Kurosaki smiled slightly after hearing Kaien's words; everything he said was correct.
" The Five Great Noble Clans of Soul Society are in love with Pure-Blood Quincy? What kind of forbidden romance is this?"
Are you Romeo and Juliet from two different worlds?
Kaien Shiba felt more bald than ever before. According to the rules of Soul Society, he should now capture Isshin Shiba voluntarily gave up his Soul Reaper powers, and bring him back to Soul Society, and then execute Masaki Kurosaki on the spot.
But clearly, he couldn't do that. Masaki was carrying Isshin Shiba's child. Shouldn't all crimes be given a reprieve in the face of a pregnant woman? Besides, even if Masaki Kurosaki wasn't pregnant, Kaien Shiba had no intention of following Soul Society's laws. They weren't the Kuchiki Clan, so why be so serious?
"Uncle! Do you know how much trouble you're causing for yourself and the Shiba Clan by doing this?"
Kaien Shiba turned to Isshin Shiba beside him and roared angrily.
"..."
However, Isshin remained silent, as if he hadn't heard Kaien Shiba's words.
"Ah, I forgot that my uncle can't see me at all these days."
After yelling at Isshin Shiba, Kaien Shiba suddenly realized that Isshin Shiba was no different from an ordinary human at this moment. He had given all his Spiritual Pressure to Masaki Kurosaki to suppress the Hollow within her body.
"It's alright... Nephew Kaien, I will tell Isshin what you said."
Masaki Kurosaki, who still possessed the Pure-Blood Quincy power within her body, smiled slightly upon seeing Kaien Shiba's irritable appearance.
"Thank you for your help, Aunt."
After much deliberation, Kaien Shiba finally had no choice but to address the beautiful woman, who appeared to be in her early twenties and was lying on the hospital bed, as "Aunt." Even though this woman was less than a fraction of Kaien Shiba. Besides, what could they do when one of the Five Great Noble Clans, the Shiba Clan, produced such a scoundrel who preyed on a young woman?
It's okay~
Masaki Kurosaki smiled slightly, turned around and told Isshin Kaien Shiba what Isshin Kurosaki had said.
"This has nothing to do with Masaki. If anyone has to take responsibility, let me take it all!"
" Masaki and the child in Masaki's womb are innocent!"
After hearing Masaki's words, Isshin Kurosaki suddenly shouted loudly at the empty hospital room, acting like a model husband and the best man in the three realms.
"Smack~"
Then, something mysterious slapped Isshin hard across the cheek.
"It hurts so much..."
How could you hit someone?
How could you hit your uncle?
In an instant, Isshin, who had maintained his good-guy image, couldn't hold back anymore. He covered his cheeks, his eyes brimming with tears.
"Idiot! Uncle!"
"Recover your Spiritual Pressure within fifty years, or I'll publish the photos I just took in the newspapers." After saying this, Kaien Shiba bowed slightly to Masaki Kurosaki on the hospital bed. "I'll come again, Aunt!"
"Yes, you're welcome anytime!"
Masaki Kurosaki spoke with great joy.
"I'm sorry to have bothered you this time. I'll bring a gift next time."
"Then see you next time."
After finishing her speech, Kaien Shiba bowed deeply once more and left the ward.
Has Kaien left?
Isshin Kurosaki covered his cheek and tentatively approached Masaki Kurosaki.
"Yeah, they've left~"
Masaki Kurosaki nodded, indicating that Kaien Shiba had left.
"That's great..." As soon as Isshin Kurosaki heard that Kaien Shiba had left, he immediately threw himself into Masaki Kurosaki's arms, sobbing, "Let me tell you, I practically raised Kaien, but now he's rebelled~ He actually dared to hit me."
"Okay~ Okay~ It's okay~ I'll protect Xiao Little Isshin."
Masaki gently Isshin Kurosaki's head as she spoke softly. In that instant, Masaki radiated maternal love, making Isshin Kurosaki as if she were seeing an angel once again.
" Lord Aizen ~ Something terrible has happened~"
" Kaien Shiba made contact with Isshin Shiba ~"
"Should we... take action against the Shiba Clan?"
In Soul Society, in front of several computers, Gin Ichimaru watched as Kaien Shiba, who had approached Isshin Shiba, questioned the man with short brown hair who always seemed to be in control.
"Hmph... whatever."
"The time for us to make our move is almost here."
Aizen smiled slightly after hearing Gin Ichimaru's words. If it were fifty years ago, he might have taken action against the Shiba Clan to prevent further complications, but now it didn't matter. He would start his own plan once that interesting child grew up.
"Oh~ okay~"
"Anyway, this is your game. Since you're unwilling to participate, I have nothing more to say."
Gin Ichimaru looked at the man beside him who remained steady and methodical no matter how he tested him; beneath the unchanging face lay a heart full of coldness.
"Yin, you'd better stay by my side and enjoy the show with me~"
Aizen softly called out Gin's name, a warm smile appearing on his face.
"Heh..." Gin Ichimaru's eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, opened slightly after hearing Aizen's words, a chill running through him. "Stand by your side? Heh heh heh... Of course, of course I will always stand by your side."
"Good boy."
After receiving Gin's reply, Aizen turned back to the screen in front of him, watching the unfolding events with great interest.
The incident occurred a few months after Kaien Shiba and Isshin Shiba came into contact... A Senkaimon slowly took shape in Karakura Town, and a man and a woman walked out of it. The man was wearing a fitted kimono, and the woman was wearing a sports bra and shorts, with her long hair tied in a high ponytail, looking like a sporty fashionista.
" Kūkaku, what kind of behavior is that? Shameless..."
Seeing Kūkaku He's appearance beside him, the man couldn't help but rebuke her.
"Huh? Brother, what do you look like now? You're so old and toothless!"
Kūkaku picked at his ear, completely ignoring Kaien's words.
"In short, we need to keep a low profile today and control our Spiritual Pressure so that the Twelfth Division doesn't find us..."
"Sigh... actually, it would have been safest for me to come alone."
The man in the kimono, who was also Kūkaku's older brother Kaien Shiba, spoke with a sense of helplessness.
"Today is the day our dear little brother is born, how could we not come?"
Kūkaku wrapped her arms around her ample chest and laughed.
"Ugh... this is so troublesome."
Kaien Shiba sighed softly; his younger sister was such a nuisance.
"Oh my... isn't that Captain Kaien and Captain Kūkaku?"
" The Gigai I provided for you two were pretty good, weren't they?"
Just as Kūkaku and Kaien were exchanging barbs, a man wearing a dark green short jacket over a green kimono, a green and white fisherman's hat, and wooden clogs walked towards them.
" Kisuke Urahara?!"
"Brother?! You said the method that allows us to move freely in the World of the Living, just like ordinary people, was provided by Kisuke Urahara?"
When Kūkaku saw the lewd-looking man, the veins on his forehead immediately bulged.
"Ugh~"
"It's been a long time, Miss Kūkaku. Seeing you still so energetic is truly enviable."
Kisuke Urahara, fanning himself continuously, and smiled as he greeted Kūkaku.
"You traitor to Soul Society, how dare you show your face!"
"Enough with the nonsense, give me back my Yoruichi."
Kūkaku Shiba leaped up and mounted Kisuke Urahara's neck, roaring angrily.
"Um... forget about the earlier parts, as for where Miss Yoruichi is right now... I don't really know either."
After hearing what Kūkaku Shiba said, Kisuke Urahara looked rather helpless. Apart from Yoruichi appearing at Urahara Shop on time every Yoruichi at mealtimes, even Kisuke Urahara didn't know where Yoruichi was at Yoruichi times. Locating a cat that could Shunpo was really too difficult, even for Kisuke Urahara.
"Damn it! Give me back my Yoruichi!"
Kūkaku Shiba kept rubbing Kisuke Urahara's head and said angrily.
Even if you say that... there's nothing I can do!
Kisuke Urahara spoke defensively, while also saying helplessly.
" Kūkaku, you're gone!"
"Stop fooling around, or you'll miss your brother's birth."
Kaien Shiba walked up to Kūkaku and pulled her off Kisuke Urahara's head.
"Snort!"
" Kisuke Urahara, you'd better have Yoruichi ready for me before I get back, or you'll pay the price."
Before leaving, Kūkaku Shiba did not forget to threaten Kisuke Urahara.
"Oh dear, this is a bit of a headache."
Kisuke Urahara gently rubbed his head. He was afraid of people like Kūkaku. His intelligence was completely useless against someone like Kūkaku who simply wouldn't listen to reason.
Hospital.
"Doctor, are my wife and baby alright?"
Isshin Kurosaki grabbed the hand of the doctor who came out of the operating room and asked.
"Okay, don't worry~"
"The wife and children are very strong."
The doctor nodded slightly. This delivery went surprisingly smoothly; both the mother and the child were incredibly strong.
"That's good... that's good..."
After listening to the doctor's words, Isshin Kurosaki slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he completely relax.
" Uncle Isshin ~"
Just as Isshin Kurosaki was slumped in his chair, completely relaxed, Kaien Shiba and Kūkaku Shiba, using the Gigai provided by Kisuke Urahara, walked towards Isshin.
"You?"
What are you doing here?
Isshin rubbed his eyes, unable to believe that he could actually see Kaien and Kūkaku in the World of the Living.
"We contacted Kisuke Urahara."
Seeing the puzzled look in Isshin Kurosaki, Kaien explained.
"Understood."
Yixin nodded Isshin; he understood everything Kaien had said.
"You can come in now."
Just as the three were chatting, a nurse from the ward suddenly came out and spoke to them.
"Oh!"
Before Kūkaku and Kaien could Isshin, Sora was the first to rush into the ward and scoop up the baby with short orange hair.
"So cute..."
What's this child's name?
Kūkaku, holding the baby, sat beside Masaki Kurosaki's hospital bed and asked.
His name is Ichigo Kurosaki!
Ichigo: To Ichigo something for the rest of his life!
Before Masaki Kurosaki could speak, Isshin Kurosaki took the initiative and named the baby.
"I see, Ichigo Kurosaki?"
"This name is indeed quite good..."
"Does Uncle mean that Little Ichigo will dedicate his entire life to protecting the Shiba Clan?"
Kaien Shiba gently rubbed his chin and nodded in satisfaction.
"In that case, wouldn't we have a candidate for the next head of the Shiba Clan?"
Kaien Shiba narrowed his eyes, sensing the terrifying Spiritual Pressure emanating from Kurosaki... Ichigo Kurosaki's body, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Ha?"
What nonsense are you spouting?
"My child doesn't have the surname Shiba, my child's surname is Kurosaki! Kurosaki, understand?"
What is their relationship with the Shiba Clan?
After hearing Kaien Shiba's words, Isshin Kurosaki Isshin's face flashed with displeasure. His child should, of course, be in the World of the Living, protecting Masaki Kurosaki alongside him. How could he possibly go to some damned Soul Society to inherit some bullshit Shiba Clan?
"Yeah?"
"I'm taking him away today. Let's see how you, without your power, can stop me!"
Kaien Shiba looked at Isshin Kurosaki with disdain. He didn't even have the power of Soul Reaper anymore, yet he still wanted to negotiate with him? What a joke!
Besides, the Kurosaki Clan has already tricked the Shiba Clan out of a top-tier fighter, so isn't it perfectly normal for them to return a peerless genius to the Shiba Clan?
"I'd rather die here today than let you take Ichigo away!"
Isshin Kurosaki was startled. He looked at Kaien Shiba nervously, fearing that the other party might really be unethical and forcibly take his child away.
"That depends on your luck. Can you hold me off for a few seconds?"
Kaien Shiba smiled slightly. He was quite confident in his own strength, or rather, arrogant. With Isshin Kurosaki's current power, he couldn't even stop him for a second.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"You two, stop arguing! If you disturb Little Ichigo and Aunt Masaki, I'll chop you both into pieces and send you to Hueco Mundo to feed the Menos Grande."
Just as Isshin Kurosaki and Kaien Shiba were locked in a power struggle, Kūkaku Shiba grabbed both of their heads and threatened them.
"Forehead..."
Both Isshin Kurosaki and Kaien Shiba trembled simultaneously.
"Hahaha... It's okay, Little Kūkaku ~"
"By the way, it's rare for the whole family to get together, why don't we take a group photo?"
Lying on the hospital bed, Masaki Kurosaki looked at Kūkaku Shiba and smiled gently. She didn't really care. Whether Ichigo's surname was Kurosaki or Shiba, he was her child, and that would never change. She would always love Ichigo.
"Okay~"
After hearing Masaki's words, Kūkaku pulled Kaien Shiba and Isshin Kurosaki to either side of the hospital bed.
"Eggplant~"
The next second, as the nurse pressed the shutter, the joyful scene of Isshin Kurosaki, Kaien Shiba, Kūkaku Shiba, Masaki Kurosaki, and Ichigo Kurosaki nestled in Masaki's arms was forever captured. ( Ganju Shiba, bullied by his older siblings and left behind by the Shiba Clan: I'm leaving... You handsome men, beautiful women, geniuses, and monsters are all one family, I'm not, I'm ugly, I'm weak, I'm insecure...)
