Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training

Tosen Kaname is a very conflicted person.

This characteristic was already revealed in the original storyline - he became good friends with Kashiwamura Sajin and became the life mentor of Hisagi Shuhei...

Although he hated and despised the powerful and the god of death. But in the end, he still inevitably became concerned with these people.

Perhaps it was this kind of conflicted thinking that led him to the path of self-destruction in the end.

This is roughly the situation.

But no matter what, now that Arima Shizuka is in front of him, he has to try his best to avoid this situation.

"Well, let's wait until later to study things that are too complicated. Since you are confused in your heart, then swing the sword first."

Putting down the plastic bottle, Arima Shizuka also stood up and stepped back, standing in front of Tosen Kaname.

His tired right hand turned frivolously and danced a crisp sword flower.

"After all, 99% of the worries in the world can only be classified as too weak!"

Hearing this, Tosen Kaname's expression moved slightly, and finally he also showed a relieved smile.

"You occasionally say something meaningful like this."

"Huh?! My character is a genius! Tighten your body, Tosen, I won't hold back next time!"

After finishing the sparring, the two said goodbye at the entrance of the dojo as usual.

Watching Arima Shizuka limping away into the depths of the corridor, Tosen was silent for a long time, but did not walk towards his dormitory.

After several turns, he finally found a remote corner of the school building.

Standing here, silent for a long time...Finally, a reassuring tone came from behind.

"Ask me here, is there something important to discuss?"

Aizen's figure emerged from it, his hands covered in his long sleeves, with a friendly and calm smile on his face.

"Tosen-san?"

It was not Aizen's deliberate act, but the latter collected Aizen's information through other channels.

It was Aizen that Tosen took the initiative to contact.

"I'm really ashamed to meet you late at night, please forgive me."

Tousen Kaname's attitude was as polite as ever, Aizen chuckled and responded, and at the moment he just comforted him.

The key point is what the other party wants.

"I want to... become stronger."

With both hands clenched into fists, Tousen Kaname's tone became a little low.

"This speed of progress alone is not enough for me to realize my dream. I need a faster speed, a shortcut... even if it's a crooked way, I need to make myself stronger."

I see.

There is really nothing wrong with just the reason.

"Because your former best friend was killed, you have a grudge against the powerful. It's really a sighing past... Tousen-san, I recognize your motives. But..."

Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Aizen smiled playfully.

"Are these really the only reasons?"

"..."

It seemed a little difficult to say, and after pausing for two breaths, Tousen Kaname continued.

"I don't want to be left behind by Arima Shizuya."

"This guy is improving too fast. He may not realize it himself, but in fact, it is difficult for me to gain any advantage in kendo."

"After a while, he will probably surpass me."

As a friend, Tosen Kaname is indeed happy for Arima Shizuya's progress.

So this feeling is not jealousy, nor is it hatred.

It is a kind of self-blame.

"I can't continue to waste time like this... I have to become stronger, and only in this way can I stand up and protect the morality in my heart when I encounter such unfairness next time."

Third time is better than the third time.

Next time, even if he turns his body into fire, Tosen Kaname will definitely fight back.

This is morality, friendship, and Tosen Kaname's survival principle.

That's why he needs strength so urgently.

Stepping forward slowly, Tosen Kaname knelt on his knees and made a gesture of submission to Aizen.

"I know your methods are extraordinary... Arima Shizuka was able to increase his strength only after contacting you. I won't pray for the same treatment as that idiot, so just drive me, as long as you can give me strength."

With such a firm and unyielding will, Aizen no longer had any reason to refuse.

The corners of his mouth turned up lightly, and he extended his right hand to Tosen Kaname.

"In this case, it's a happy cooperation, Tosen Kaname."

The two sides seemed to have reached a consensus, but before entering the next stage, Aizen seemed to have something to do.

He smiled and drew out the Zanpakutō from his waist.

"Tosen, please wait a moment before I start to guide you."

Tosen Kaname frowned slightly and said softly.

"What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing big, just let you experience the feeling of my Zanpakutō being released. After all, if I'm not mistaken, you haven't mastered the Shikai yet, right? This close-up experience may also give you some other inspirations."

There is nothing wrong with this statement, and Tosen Kaname responded with silence.

It was in Aizen's smile.

Everything began to gather in an inevitable direction...like a river rushing towards the sea, it cannot be disobeyed or stopped.

The bright and bright butterfly fluttered its wings.

The small breeze it raised crossed the ocean and blew to the edge of the world, then transformed into a violent wind that made the world change color.

Something changed, but something remained unchanged.

Was it fate? Or was it something more mysterious? No one knew what was going on.

…

The peaceful half-month passed in a flash.

During this period, Arima Jing also found himself dreaming.

He saw that he was standing at a crossroads for no reason.

There was no extra background around, and there were only street lights above his head.

There was no sun or moon, and there was no reference to measure time.

Arima Jing could only grope and explore in vain.

The four directions of southeast, northwest and northeast all spread to a deeper and more secluded distance. Just looking from a distance gave people a creepy feeling.

Even if she chose a direction to move forward, after a few minutes, Arima Shizuka would find herself back to the starting point.

The intersection was like a strange space that kept looping back and forth, or more like an Ouroboros that coiled into a complete circle.

It kept looping back and forth.

Until the person woke up completely.

"That's basically the situation, and it's been more than a week now..."

If it was just a few times, she could still get away with it, but it happened so many times that even the most careless person would notice something was wrong.

She ate the last curry rice upside down.

After wiping her mouth, Arima Shizuka also showed a very emotional expression on her face.

"So it sounds strange, right?"

Sitting opposite, Kotetsu Yuune chuckled and just shook his head calmly.

"No, this situation is a phenomenon that only occurs when the Zanpakutō is about to awaken, right? This means that Arima-kun will soon resonate with Asauchi."

In theory, this is true, but the situation is really a headache.

"But my Asada won't come out to talk to me... I can't even find where it is. Are you going to let me search aimlessly at the intersection? Is this a maze?"

Kotetsu Yuin scraped the porridge in the bowl and smiled.

"After all, each Zanpakuto has different habits and ways of thinking, but since it is the object of Arima-kun's mind, the other party should also reflect your inner thoughts."

So at this time.

"You can't find any correct answers just by asking others."

Although I also thought of this possibility, after hearing that there is no "shortcut", Arima Shizuka couldn't help but sigh.

There's really no way...

So what is my subconscious thinking?

I have no clue about this at all.

Slumping on the bench in the cafeteria, Arima Shizuka yawned long, and the expression on her face seemed quite tired.

Kotetsu Yuin had already started to clean up the table, but when he saw the other party's appearance, he couldn't help but blinked and asked.

"Arima-kun, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing... I just dreamed too much and I didn't rest well these two days..."

This matter is not a big deal, and the person involved just wants to complain.

But he just stood up and saw that Kotetsu Yuin had already circled in front of him.

The other party's thick eyebrows were in an awkward state, revealing a rather tangled expression.

So what does she want to do?

Before his thoughts settled, Kotetsu Yuin's cheeks flushed slightly, and he lowered his head at this moment.

He leaned close to Arima Shizuya's ear and whispered.

"Then how about I give Arima-kun a massage starting tomorrow morning? Although it may not be very effective, it can relieve some fatigue."

Although Huidao is included in the branch of Kidō.

But thanks to years of development, methods such as maintaining the body and strengthening rehabilitation now belong to this category.

As the future vice-captain of the fourth division, it can be said that Kotetsu Yuin knows these things as "natural".

Is there any better 'reward' than this?

All the tiredness in my body was swept away!

Arima Shizuya showed an excited expression, he looked at the girl in front of him eagerly, and couldn't help but reply.

"Then I'll trouble you!"

Kotetsu Yuin showed a happy smile, nodded and was about to turn around.

Arima Shizuya's voice pulled her back.

"That, Kotetsu senior..."

Turning around, I saw Arima Shizuya showing an expectant expression.

"May I ask how you think about the invitation I made yesterday?"

Yesterday, Arima Shizuya solemnly asked the other party whether to date for a while.

It's never a man's style to beat around the bush. If you like someone, you should say it generously.

What's more, in the dojo, Kotetsu Yuin stood up to speak for him, which moved Arima Shizuya.

What reason does he have to dislike this woman who looks straightforward but actually has a silly look?

A straight ball is the best choice to hit the bull's eye!

Kotetsu Yuune's face suddenly became much more embarrassed. She took a half step back and covered her cheeks with both hands.

Ah~ This question again...

To be honest, Kotetsu Yuune was also tormented by this thing and didn't sleep well all night.

So what's the answer?

Taking a deep breath, the girl slowly opened her mouth.

"I..."
