A foreigner's journey

Soul Society, Heather Barrier Area.

Hitsugaya Toshiro panted heavily, sweat mixed with melting ice water dripping down his face.

Standing not far in front of him was Ukitake Jushiro.

Ukitake Jūshirō still looked gentle and elegant, holding two swords [Pisces]. There was no murderous look in Toshiro Hitsugaya's eyes, only a gentle smile: "Why did you stop, Captain Hitsugaya? Let us continue."

Strange, so strange.

Hitsugaya glanced at Rangiku Matsumoto, who was lying in a pool of blood behind him, and then looked at Jushiro Ukitake in front of him, his heart filled with confusion.

Why did Captain Ukitake suddenly attack his allies? First, he killed Matsumoto instantly, and then pushed himself into a desperate situation step by step.

There is definitely something wrong with Jushiro Ukitake in front of him!

But whether it's his speaking and acting style, his inimitable temperament, his unique spiritual pressure, or his own Zanpakutō, they are all the same as Captain Ukitake. No, it should be said to be him.

No matter how confident Hitsugaya Toshiro is, he would not dare to claim that he can easily defeat the century-old captain Ukitake Jushiro. After all, there is a huge gap between the two sides' spiritual pressure levels and combat experience.

And because of Ukitake Jushiro's usually amiable and amiable way of dealing with others, Hitsugaya respected him very much in his heart and never considered the illusion of being his enemy.

This led to Hitsugaya Toshiro's passivity and confusion when he was suddenly attacked by Ukitake Jushiro. In order to protect his captain, Rangiku Matsumoto blocked the first wave of attacks from Ukitake Jushiro and fell to the ground seriously injured.

Hitsugaya Toshiro finally reacted and subconsciously released the Zanpakuto's swastika form. Even so, he was still no match for the 'Ukitake Jushiro' in front of him.

The battle between swastika and swastika started, but the result was completely destroyed. This result made Toshiro embarrassed and incomprehensible.

It’s no wonder, after all, the current Toshiro Hitsugaya is still too ‘young’. Compared with the version returned from leveling up in the Thousand-Year Blood War Chapter of the original manga, the current Toshiro Hitsugaya is just a rookie.

The same loser is Kuchiki Byakuya. He is called the strongest head of the Kuchiki family in history, but in fact his level is only that much. At most, he is stronger than an ordinary captain level (yes, I am talking about Zaihou). Go to a new level.

The truly powerful Complete Kuchiki Byakuya is the version that returned from leveling in the later stages of the Thousand-Year Blood War. At that time, he could even compete with 'Miracle' Gerald, one of the bodyguards of God's Pardon.

Unfortunately, even the useless version of Byakuya Kuchiki was not near Hitsugaya Toshiro at this time. He had already rushed to the direction of the 13th Division team building to support Rukia Kuchiki.

Ichigo Kurosaki, who had just defeated [R], got into a fight with a member of the Star Cross Knights who suddenly appeared. The two fought farther and farther away from the center of the battlefield.

Now Hitsugaya can only rely on the Zanpakutō in his hand.

Opposite him, Ukitake Jushiro showed a gentle expression of concern:

"Are you feeling unwell, Captain Hitsugaya? The disease must be treated in time, so as not to become a sick person like me.

Well, Captain Unohana is not in Soul Society, so let me help you take a look at your body. Don't look at me like this. As the saying goes, a long-term illness makes a good doctor. I am very confident in my own treatment methods. "

With a gentle smile on his face and heart-warming words in his mouth, the Zanpakuto in his hand struck Hitsugaya's head mercilessly!

Hitsugaya Toshiro is absolutely sure that the other party is definitely not here to 'treat' him. It is killing without any killing intention, just like a human being stepping on ants as casually as they pass by.

Clang!

Raising the Daiguren Hyōrinmaru, he could barely block the Zanpakutō that was coming from the head. Hitsugaya managed to close the ice wings behind him to block the second Zanpakutō that was slashing sideways from the side.

[Pisces], one of the only two pairs of Zanpakutō in Soul Society.

The ice wing made of solid ice was immediately split by Pisces, causing ice shards to fly. At the same time, blood spilled from the broken mouth of the ice wing.

"I'm sorry, Captain Ukitake... [Dragon Shot Frame]!"

Hitsugaya gritted his teeth and swung his knife straight towards Ukitake Jushiro. When the tip of the knife touched the blade that Ukitake was blocking in front of him, a violent cold air burst out.

The huge ice cross spread rapidly outward with Ukitake Jushiro as the center, wrapping the latter tightly in the center of the ice cross.

It wasn't over yet, Hitsugaya waved his sword with his backhand, and dozens of icicles appeared out of thin air to surround the center of the ice cross, closing it instantly!

[Millennium Ice Prison]!

Hitsugaya was out of breath after using two ultimate moves in succession. In this way, he would at least trap Captain Ukitake in the icicles and release him after the war is over...

Click!

In Hitsugaya Toshiro's shocked eyes, large cracks appeared on the outer layer of the thousand-year ice prison.

The ice cubes shattered and fell, and both the thousand-year ice prison and the dragon frame turned into ice shards and scattered on the ground, revealing the unharmed Ukitake Jushiro.

He still had that gentle smile and raised his Zanpakutō in his left hand: "Captain Hitsugaya, have you forgotten my Zanpakutō's abilities?"

"...Pisces, [absorb spiritual pressure]!"

"That's right, any attack related to spiritual pressure will be absorbed by my Pisces, and then..."

Ukitake smiled and raised his right zanpakuto and pointed the tip of the sword at Hitsugaya Toshiro. His voice was as gentle as if he was giving an introductory lesson in combat to his nephew:

"In addition to [absorbing], Pisces can also [rebound]."

The terrifying cold air turned into an ice light cannon, drawing a huge icy blue trail on the battlefield. Hitsugaya was sealed in the ice light, unable to move like a mosquito wrapped in amber.

Ukitake Jushiro smiled and walked towards Hitsugaya Toshiro, and raised the two swords in his hands: "You are still too young, Captain Hitsugaya. How can a weak and powerless captain like you protect Soul Society? For the sake of teacher and the future of Soul Society, let me do this dirty work."

As he spoke, he suddenly exerted force on his feet and swung his swords fiercely towards Hitsugaya, who was blocked by the ice beam!

Click!

Hitsugaya's body had two huge slash marks that penetrated his body, and they were cut off together with the ice beam.

boom! The fragments of the ice beam hit the ground heavily, and strangely, no blood flowed out from the fractured location of Hitsugaya's body.

"It is indeed the strongest Zanpakutō of the ice and snow system. Even if it is applied to the wielder himself, it is so elegant that not even a drop of blood will be spilled."

Ukitake Jushiro sighed softly and turned to look at Heather, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the barrier:

"Then, it's your turn, Heather. Without you, Soul Society would not be in such turmoil. You need to take full responsibility for this..."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind him: "This is really an arrogant statement. [I] have never thought of it that way."

Ukitake Jushiro immediately turned around and found that another Ukitake Jushiro was holding Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was covered in ice chips, standing on the top of a cliff, looking at 'himself' with interest, and raised his hand to say hello:

"Hello, [myself]."
