Death: Marry Unohana Retsu at the beginning

‘Breaking boundaries’.

A special passage formed by the overlap between worlds.

At the same time, it is also the only way for the gods of death to travel through the world.

At this time, Kurosaki Ichigo and others passed through the boundary gate prepared by Urahara Kisuke. Under the leadership of the Masked Army and Shifouin Yoruichi, they continued to run through the boundary. The goal of their trip was, It is the legendary 'Soul Society'.

On the way forward, everyone was speechless. Whether it was the members of the Masked Army or Kurosaki Ichigo and others, their brows were furrowed. It seemed that everyone had various worries and anxieties deep in their hearts. Everyone Everyone seems to be worried about something.

"..."

During this period, Mako Hirako, who was good at observing people's expressions, gradually slowed down his speed after taking in everyone's expressions. From his original leading position, he retreated all the way to the side of Kurosaki Ichigo and others, and faced Kurosaki Ichigo and others said hello: "Hey, the weather is really nice today~ Are you right? Kurosaki Ichigo-san~"

"ha?!"

Perhaps it was because the tone of Hirako Mako's greeting was too stiff and too embarrassing. Even the rough-and-tumble Kurosaki Ichigo was obviously a little slower after hearing Hirako Mako's words, and he didn't react for a while. Come over, Hirako Mako is talking to him.

"Hello, this beautiful girl, my name is Hirako Mako, are you interested in getting to know me? Maybe you don't know me well, but I can tell you for sure that I have always been a dedicated person, and I like pure love stories the most. I hate tauren, but you will be very happy if you are with me~"

Without waiting for Kurosaki Ichigo to respond, Hirako directly ignored Ichigo, Uryu and Taitora, came to Inoue Orihime's side, smiled and said hello.

"Eh?! We're not familiar with this yet~"

Hearing this, Orihime Inoue showed a somewhat embarrassed and apologetic smile.

"It doesn't matter, if it's not cooked today, it won't be cooked tomorrow, but it will be cooked the day after tomorrow~"

Hirako was not discouraged by Inoue's rejection! On the contrary, Orihime's rejection successfully aroused Hirako Mako's desire to pursue her. He kept showing his love to Inoue Orihime with his old face shy.

"that……"

Hearing this, Inoue had an embarrassed smile on his face.

"You guy, don't get in the way of Orihime!"

Just when Inoue didn't know what to do, Kurosaki Ichigo, who had been slow for a moment, seemed to finally come online. He grabbed Hirako Mako's neck and pulled Hirako from Orihime's side to his. Next to him, he said coldly.

"Hey, Kurosaki Ichigo-san, you finally noticed me?!"

"I thought you were not only deaf, but also suffered from eye disease. You were an arrogant and blind man~"

After Hirako Mako discovered that Kurosaki Ichigo finally talked to him, a smile appeared on his face and he smiled at Ichigo.

"You guy, don't get in the way of others just because I ignore you!"

After listening to Hirako's words, Kurosaki Ichigo realized that the guy in front of him, who looked like an ungrateful guy, was actually extremely thoughtful and a smart person who was as smart as Uryu Ishida in terms of brain.

"Hehehe..."

"Well, now that everyone has successfully noticed me! I won't continue to show off. While we are still in the world and have not reached 'Soul Society', I will provide you with a clear understanding of 'Soul Society' and "Soul Society". For those students who don’t know about the Seireitei, let’s do some popular science about the structure of Soul Society and the Gotei 13~"

After Hirako Mako chuckled, his face gradually became serious.

"Do you want to educate us about the enemy's power structure?"

“This is indeed extremely important and necessary!”

"It is said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle! Only by understanding the enemy can you defeat the enemy! Then I leave this job of introducing the enemy to you~"

As soon as Ishida Uryu heard that Hirako Mako was going to introduce to everyone the power structure of the Shinigami, his face immediately straightened, and he respectfully asked Hirako Mako.

"Haha, it seems there are smart people among you~"

Hearing this, Pingzi immediately smiled.

"First of all, you need to know the main structure of 'Soul Society', which is divided into two parts! One part is the core of 'Soul Society' and is also where the Shinigami and nobles live. It is called 'Seirei' Ting'."

"The other part is where the most common wandering souls in 'Soul Society' live. It is also where the souls who died naturally in the 'real world' and were sent to 'Soul Soul Society' by the gods of death live." The place is called 'Wandering Soul Street', and our goal this time is to enter the core area of ​​'Soul Society', which is the 'Seireitei'."

Hirako first introduced the regional structure of ‘Soul Society’.

"Rukia, where is she?"

Kurosaki Ichigo doesn't seem to be interested in the structure of 'Soul Society'. He just wants to know where is Rukia Kuchiki, who was taken away by Byakuya Kuchiki? !

"If nothing else happens, Rukia Kuchiki is currently in the core area of ​​'Soul Society', which is the 'Seireitei'~"

Hearing this, Pingzi explained.

"Then we must attack the Seireitei."

Kurosaki Ichigo nodded lightly and concluded.

"Haha, Kurosaki Ichigo-san, things are far from as simple as you think."

"You must know that the Seireitei is the core of the world and the most important area. Its entire area is surrounded by high walls and shrouded in a huge barrier, whether from the sky or from the sky. No one can enter the Seireitei underground."

"If we really want to enter the Seireitei, we can only pass through the four gates in the east, west, south, and north surrounding the high wall of the Seireitei. However, these four gates Outside the gate, there are powerful heroes guarding it, and it is not as easy to be breached as you think."

Hirako looked at Kurosaki Ichigo, who looked indifferent, as if he didn't take Seireitei seriously, and said to himself: "He who doesn't know is fearless! Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers." After that, he continued to help Kurosaki Ichigo and others , explained.

"Anyway, if you defeat the guards, you can enter the Seireitei, right?"

"Leave the guards to me, I will take care of them all."

Kurosaki Ichigo didn't take the guards Hirako said to heart at all.

"The focus is not on the four guards guarding the outside of the Seireitei. The focus is on the Gotei 13 that guards the Seireitei inside! Those guards who are responsible for guarding the Seireitei's gate. Rather than protecting the 'Seireitei', it is better to say that we are protecting those who have no strength and plan to invade the 'Seireitei'..."

"Those gate guards are actually the captain of the Gotei 13. Their kindness to the enemy! They are telling the world that if you can't even defeat the guards responsible for guarding the gates, then stop thinking about invading." Seireitei'. After all, if you enter Seireitei, you will only die, that's all..."

Mako Hirako sighed and continued.

"So, the so-called captain of the Gotei 13 is quite reasonable~ It sounds like he is unexpectedly kind. Maybe if we tell him clearly about Kuchiki Rukia-san, he will Maybe we’ll let Kuchiki Rukia-san go?!”

After listening to Hirako Mako's words, Inoue Orihime thought thoughtfully for a while, then smiled and preached to everyone present.

"This is a good idea!"

Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo gave Inoue Orihime a thumbs up.

"Haha, you have to think of this method!"

After hearing what Kurosaki Ichigo said, Hirako Mako's eyes twitched slightly.

"Isn't it possible?"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Mako Hirako in confusion and asked.

"It's not a question of whether it's possible, but a question of whether we can see Captain Araki! I should have told you just now that there are a total of thirteen Shinigami divisions in the entire Seireitei. The full name is 'The Gotei Thirteen'..."

"Among them, Captain Araki is not only the commander-in-chief of the thirteen Shinigami Squadrons, but also the captain of the 'First Division', and the 'First Division' team building is in the entire 'Seireitei' The center! In other words, no matter which gate we invade from the 'Seireitei', we have to go through five levels and kill six generals before we can reach the 'First Team' building, and when we reach the 'First Team' The beginning of it all.”

Mako Hirako looked at Kurosaki Ichigo as if he were looking at a mentally retarded person.

"Then defeat all the enemies!"

Kurosaki Ichigo didn't take it seriously, he seemed to be full of confidence in himself.

"You guys, should I say that you are fearless even if you don't know? Or are you overconfident? Do you really know the combat effectiveness of the Gotei 13?"

"Let me tell you this! The night Rukia Kuchiki left, you should have fought with a stinky guy, right? That stinky guy's name was Byakuya Kuchiki, and he was one of the Gotei 13. Captain."

"And I am here to tell you clearly that Byakuya is extremely young among all the captains! As you heard, he is as strong as Byakuya, or even stronger than Byakuya. Guys, excluding Captain Araki's 'Team 1', there are a total of twelve in the 'Gotei 13'!"

Hirako Mako said helplessly to Kurosaki Ichigo.

"There are twelve people as powerful as Byakuya?"

Kurosaki Ichigo naturally knew how powerful Kuchiki Byakuya was. After all, it was after he obtained the power of the Death God that he tasted failure for the first time and killed him instantly!

Originally, Ichigo Kurosaki thought that Byakuya Kuchiki was the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society, but what he didn't expect was that a Shinigami who was as strong as Byakuya, or even stronger than Byakuya, the Gotei Thirteen There are twelve more in the team.

"These are just the other divisions in the Gotei 13! What I want to introduce to you next is the 'First Division' led by Captain Araki, which is also known as the strongest 'First Division' in history. '!"

"The entire 'First Team' is divided into nine teams, namely the first team 'Patrol Team', the second team 'Notification Team', the third team 'Ghost Squadron', and the fourth team 'Hueco Mundo Expedition Team' , the fifth detachment 'Quinker Special Attack Team', the sixth detachment 'Living Persons Inspection Team', the seventh detachment 'Internal Inspection Team', the eighth detachment 'Special Equipment Management Team', the ninth detachment 'Emergency Treatment Team' …”

"These nine detachments are directly under the command of Captain Araki and are not governed by the rules of the Gotei 13! And there are rumors that each of the nine detachment captains under the 'First Division' Possessing combat power that rivals the captain of the Gotei 13, or even surpasses the captain of the Gotei 13! In addition to the invincible Captain Araki, in other words, the combat power of just a 'First Team' It’s more than the other divisions combined~”

Mako Hirako told Kurosaki Ichigo the information about the "First Team" that Urahara Kisuke had investigated. As for the real situation of the "First Team", even Urahara Kisuke didn't know much about it. Urahara Kisuke Just tell him that the captains of the 'First Team' are all a group of monsters. If they fight one-on-one, even Kisuke Urahara may not be able to win.

"Quincy Strike Team?!"

When Uryū Ishida heard the name of the fifth detachment of the 'First Team', his eyes narrowed slightly, and the eyes hidden under the myopia flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

"In other words, in the worst case scenario, our enemies will have a total of twenty-two enemies who are equal to or even above Byakuya Kuchiki?!"

As for Kurosaki Ichigo, all he can think about at the moment is Kuchiki Byakuya.

I saw countless beads of sweat appear on Ichigo's forehead. From Hirako Mako's words, he felt the power of the Soul Society for the first time!

When Ichigo thought that after he went to Soul Society, he would have to face more than twenty Byakuya-level experts at the same time, and he felt that his head was about to explode. Even if his brain cells were burned out, he would not be able to survive. I can't think of a way to deal with twenty Byakuyas at the same time.

However, what Ichigo Kurosaki didn't expect was that what Mako Hirako said just now was still conservative! After Kurosaki Ichigo arrived in Soul Society, he discovered that among the Gotei Thirteen, there was a crouching tiger, hidden dragon! Even if a 'third-class spiritual power' roams the world, it is not an exaggeration to say that the vice-captain level is not as good as a dog.

At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo's confidence was shaken slightly. He closed his mouth and his eyes fell into deep thought. As for Ishida Uryu, who was beside Kurosaki Ichigo, he was constantly analyzing the "Destruction" in his mind. The meaning of the words "Quishi Special Attack Team". As for Orihime Inoue and Yasutora Sadatari, after seeing the silent Ichigo and Ishida, even though they didn't know what happened, they didn't say much. Instead, he quietly accompanied Ichigo and Ishida on both sides.

"well……"

Shifouin Yoruichi, who had been running in front, sighed slightly after noticing that Kurosaki Ichigo's confidence seemed to be a little bit shaken! No one knows the current power of the Seireitei better than she, the disciple of the current captain! Instead of letting Ichigo feel hopeless when he arrives in Soul Society and encounters an unbeatable opponent, it is better to be mentally prepared for defeat in advance, which will also help Ichigo's growth.

"arrive……"

After a long while, in everyone's silence, they finally ran to the end of the world, which was also the end of their journey, Soul Society!

"boom!!"

When everyone passed through the shimmering door, what appeared in front of everyone was the blue sky and white clouds. There is no doubt that this is a world that is very similar to the 'real world'! As for the figures of Kurosaki Ichigo and others, they immediately appeared in mid-air...

"That damn profiteer! I knew he was unreliable!"

"Damn it, it's actually in mid-air?!"

"Look in front of you, it looks like a city!"

Because everyone present was not a mortal, they did not feel any timidity because of the current height! After they just cursed Urahara Kisuke a few words, they were completely shocked by what they saw! It is a city surrounded by huge white walls and full of ancient atmosphere~

"Isn't this too exaggerated?! Such a city is simply a miracle!"

Although everyone was mentally prepared, when Ichigo Kurosaki, Taitora Sadatora, Orihime Inoue, etc., who saw the 'Seireitei' for the first time, saw the huge city in front of them, they still couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but praise the city!

In the eyes of Kurosaki Ichigo and others, the city in front of them cannot be built in the 'real world' even if they exhaust their manpower! After all, this is a larger city than some other countries in this world! Kurosaki Ichigo and others could not imagine how long it would take to build such a city, and how much manpower it would take. !

It was at the moment when everyone was shocked by the magnificence of the city that they successfully landed on the land of Soul Society, setting off countless floating dust~

“So beautiful~”

After Orihime Inoue stood on the ground, she looked at the pure white and huge white city wall in front of her, and couldn't help but murmur to herself.

"Look carefully, the city that appears in front of you, surrounded by a huge white wall, is the goal of our trip - 'Seireitei'!"

Shifengyuan Yoruichi landed gracefully on the land of 'Soul Society' and explained softly.

"So these houses behind us are the 'Wandering Soul Street'?!"

Ishida Uryu turned sideways and looked at the huge city in front of him, which was completely opposite. It lacked some grandeur and magnificence. Although it looked clean and tidy, it was obviously no better than the ordinary and simple streets built within the white city walls. He whispered softly. road.

"exactly."

After listening to Ishida Uryū's words, Shifengyuan Yoruichi nodded slightly.

"Haha! This Seireitei is really divided into rich and poor~"

Hearing this, Uryū Ishida had a somewhat sarcastic look on his face and whispered softly.

"call……"

"Anyway, if you want to see Rukia, you have to enter it, right?"

"If that's the case, let's not waste any more time and hurry in! The longer the delay, the more dangerous Lucia's situation will be..."

Just when Uryū Ishida looked at the extremely obvious gap between the rich and the poor displayed by a huge city wall between the Seireitei and the Wandering Soul Street, Ichigo Kurosaki sighed. He breathed a sigh of relief, looked ahead firmly, and preached seriously to everyone present.

"Yo~ Ichigo! It seems you have cheered up again~"

Hirako Mako smiled after hearing what Ichigo said.

"Who do you think I am? I don't languish so easily!"

After listening to Hirako Mako's words, Kurosaki Ichigo spoke seriously.

"Hahaha……"

"I wish you could cheer up!"

"In that case, let us happily start the invasion of Seireitei~"

"Speaking of which, if the place where we landed is as expected, it should be the 'West Wandering Soul Street'? In other words, the gate in front of us is the Baidao Gate? The guard currently guarding the Baidao Gate should still be Si That guy from Danfang, right?! Speaking of which, he has been working as a guard at Baidaomen for how many years?"

Hirako Mako said, gently pressing the hat on his head, holding the Zanpakutō in his hand, and walked towards the White Gate, one of the four gates guarding the 'Seireitei'.

"Isn't it okay to just go there?!"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Mako Hirako, who was even more careless than him, and the members of the Masked Army who were dragged to the explosion. He looked down at Shifouin Yoruichi and asked in a low voice.

"Leave it to them~"

Sifengyuan Yeyi just smiled softly when he heard this.

"Hey! Come out of Doudanfang quickly, I've seen you~"

At the same time, Hirako Mako had arrived under the White Road Gate. He looked at the gate in front of him and said with a smile.

"boom!"

As Hirako Mako finished speaking, a huge shadow suddenly fell from the sky. When it landed in front of Hirako Mako, it set off a violent airflow and blew the hat on Hirako's head into the sky.

"How many years have it been! This is the first time I have seen someone who dared to break into Seireitei without a pass! But no matter who you are, your good luck will end here. I am Kabutan Fang is one of the heroes of 'Soul Society'! He is a hero who has guarded the Baidaomen for three hundred years and never let anyone break into it..."

Doudanfang held two huge axes in his hands and preached extremely arrogantly to Hirako Mako on the ground. In fact, Doudanfang is trying to make Hirako Mako retreat in spite of difficulties. He has his own principles. If he can avoid using violence against others, he will not use violence against others.

"Oh, what a pity~"

"You actually forgot about me, Doudanfang. It really makes me sad!"

After Hirako Mako heard what Doudanbo said, he lowered his head and spoke bluntly.

"Huh?! This voice seems familiar to me!"

After hearing Pingzi's words, Doudanfang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Really? It sounds familiar..."

"Now, Doudanfang, you might as well take a closer look at my face and confirm who I am?"

Pingzi smiled, then raised his head, looked directly at Doudanfang, and preached.

"You? Your face? No, it can't be?!"

"Are you Captain Hirako Mako?!"

Doudanfang looked at Pingzi's cheek and his expression was suddenly startled.

The next second, Doudanbo suddenly recalled what happened more than a hundred years ago. The face of Hirako Mako in front of him and the face of Hirako Mako wearing the team leader's haori a hundred years ago gradually overlapped. , which surprised Doudanfang and exclaimed to Pingzi.

"Doudanfang, open the door quickly!"

"We don't want to embarrass you..."

Just when Kabutanbo was surprised by Hirako Mako's arrival, other members of the Masked Army also walked up to Hirako Mako's side. Everyone was familiar with Kabutanbo, so they did not embarrass Kabutanbo. meaning, but said softly to him.

"You? You are Captain Rokukaru Kensai, Captain Maplebashiro Juro, Captain Aikawa Ratake, and Vice Captain Hiyori, Vice Captain Yakinamaru, Vice Captain Kunan Shiro, and Vice Captain Arikada Hakigen Ghost Taoist?! Are you all back?"

As Doudanfang spoke, a few tears flashed in his eyes.

Everyone present was a captain who treated him well back then.

"Well! This time we are here to collect debt~"

Mako Hirako held the Zanpakutō that had been unsheathed and smiled softly at Kabutanbo.

"Although I cannot enter the Seireitei to help you due to my responsibilities!"

"However, I still come from the bottom of my heart and hope you can succeed!"

"I know that you were all wronged back then..."

"Let me give you a final helping hand and help you open this door!"

As Doudanfang spoke, he threw away the two huge axes in his hands and walked to the Baidao Gate he wanted to guard. The veins on his forehead were stretched, and all the strength in his body was mobilized. While bending down, he dug his hands into the soil, placed his fingertips firmly on the bottom of the Baidao Gate, and then lifted it with force, and the extremely huge Baidao Gate, which weighed more than hundreds of tons, was pocketed. Danfang relied on the purest brute force to lift him up.

"Everyone, hurry up and take advantage of my time to lift the door and come in quickly..."

Halfway through what Doudanfang said, his expression changed.

Behind the Bai Dao Gate, a man wearing a white feather fabric with short silver hair was quietly looking at Doudanfang.

"Doudanfang, do you really know what you are doing?"

"Privately letting the wanted criminals wanted by the '46 Chamber' enter the 'Seireitei'! This is a serious crime in the 'Soul Society'~"

"Then let me be here to punish you~"

The person who came was none other than Ichimaru Gin, the current captain of the 'Third Division'. He looked at Kabutanbo with a smile and stretched out the Zanpakutō in his hand.

"Oops!"

After Kabutanbo saw Ichimaru Gin pull out his Zanpakutō, he felt as if he was locked by a poisonous snake, unable to move at all.

"Uh-huh!"

The next second, a bright white light lit up in front of Doudanfang's eyes, and the dazzling silver light seemed to pierce the sky! Just seeing the light in front of him, Doudanfang felt as if his heart had been pierced.

"Ding~"

However, at this critical moment, a yellow figure landed in front of Kabutanbo, blocking Ichimaru Gin's slash with a single blow.

"Um?"

Ichimaru Gin looked at the visitor and slowly opened his narrowed eyes.

"Are all young people today so violent?"

The one who blocked Ichimaru Gin's slash was naturally Hirako Mako. He touched it gently and murmured to himself about the wound on his cheek made by Ichimaru Gin's Zanpakutō.

"Hirako Mako~"

Ichimaru Gin looked at the visitor and said with a smile.

"Roz, this is incredible!"

"This guy seems to be the captain of the 'Third Division'~"

"In other words, he is your junior?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Ichimaru Gin.

Ichimaru Gin turned his head and saw that behind him, there was a girl with short golden hair and twin tails. At this moment, this girl was facing a girl with the same golden hair. Some artistic young men with long hair pointed at the words 'Team 3' on the feather fabric behind Ichimaru Gingin and said with a smile.

"I'm in~"

Just when Ichimaru Gin was about to say something, people entered the Seireitei from behind the white door one after another.

"Hey~"

"It seems that I have to report to the captain quickly. The Baidao Gate, which has not been breached for three hundred years, was breached just now~"

Seeing this, Ichimaru Gin said with a smile.

"You'd better think about what to do next, okay?"

The moment Ichimaru Gin finished speaking, a silver dagger fell on Ichimaru Gin's neck. Unexpectedly, a strong man with silver short hair came to Ichimaru Gin's side and faced Ichimaru Gin. Gin drew his Zanpakutō.

At this time, Ichimaru Gin was undoubtedly completely surrounded by the Masked Army. In front of him were the smiling Mako Hirako and Ratake Aikawa. Behind him stood Hiyori Sarugaki and Juro Juro Hobashi. Standing on the left and right were Rokusha Kensai and Kunan Haku. The combination of these four captains and two vice-captains seemed to have completely blocked Ichimaru Gin's path.

"You are the captain of Rokusha Kensai, right? Captain Tosen must be very happy to hear that you have returned to Soul Society~"

Ichimaru Gin didn't feel any worry about this. He turned his head and said with a smile to Rokusha Kensei beside him.

"Tōsen?"

When Liu Che Quan Xi heard the familiar name, his expression flashed with confusion.

"Uh-huh!"

It was just when Rukuchukenxi was distracted that Ichimaru Gin disappeared, surrounded by a group of masked troops, and appeared on the beam in the distance without thinking.

"So fast!"

Ichimaru Gin's movements were so fast that the members of the Masked Forces who were approaching were unable to react for a moment. For a moment, everyone was slightly stunned by Ichimaru Gin's speed.

"Impossible. We have four captains here, and he can still run away?"

Aichuan Luowu's expression changed and his pupils trembled slightly.

"Haha! Don't be too surprised. After all, your era has long passed with the passage of a hundred years! The current strength of the captains of the Gotei Thirteen Team is inferior to that of your era. Essential difference!”

"To put it simply, with your current strength, you are no longer qualified to be the captain of the Gotei Thirteen. Times have changed, old guys! What is before your eyes is the so-called history The strongest 'Gotei 13'~"

Ichimaru Gin stood on the beam, smiling softly at the stunned members of the Masked Army. He seemed not to take these members of the Masked Military seriously at all.
