Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

"What did you say about the method of finding the Grey's Stone vein and the Cave of Time?" Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Nariko excitedly, and couldn't help but grab Nariko's shoulders with both hands, "Really, you won't be here?" Lie to me”

"Hey, let go first. It hurts." Nari frowned and said unhappily. Kurosaki Ichigo was so excited that his hands were neither light nor heavy. This was not something the delicate Nari could bear. Come on.

Kurosaki Ichigo's face turned red when he heard Nariko's words, and he immediately put down his hand, but then he regained his energy and continued to ask: "What is the method you mentioned? Is it recorded on this scroll?"

"I thought it would be fun to lie to you." Nariko rolled her eyes at Kurosaki Ichigo's question, then pointed at a dense text and said, "Well, you see, it is recorded here that you are using me. The way the Greel Stone senses other Greel Stones on this continent."

"Well, haven't we studied this here?" Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at the place where Nariko pointed. He had also read the words there carefully, so he asked in confusion, "I remember you said that before? The Grayl Stone veins and the Cave of Time are sealed, so they can't be sensed at all."

Nariko glanced at Ichigo Kurosaki proudly, and a sense of superiority in IQ emerged spontaneously: "Of course I know this, but who said we have to go directly to sense the Greyel Stone vein? Look here." As she spoke, Naliko pointed to another place on the scroll where there were densely written small words.

"Here" Kurosaki Ichigo looked down, but the words were a bit smaller than ants, and he really had no interest in reading them, so he simply asked Nariko directly, "I'm too lazy to read. Just tell me what is written on it."

"Hmph, I knew you would be like this," Naliko snorted dissatisfiedly, and then explained to Kurosaki Ichigo, "This is a piece of history recorded here. To a general sense, my ancestors were not All methods of finding the Greel Stone veins are not locked. In addition to the Greel Book that was taken to other continents by the royal family, which records the location and method of unlocking the Greel Stone veins, there are still two Greel Stones left behind. this continent”

"One of the Greel Stones is kept by the tribesmen who stayed on this continent, which is my piece." As she said this, Nariko took out the Greel Stone from under her clothes and put it on a necklace around her neck. He gestured, "The other Gray Stone was placed in a secret place. Stored together with the Gray Stone was a scroll recording the location and method of unlocking the Gray Stone veins."

"So," Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes were bright, like a wanderer who has found his way home, "We can use your Gray Stone to find another Gray Stone, and by the way find the Gray Stone vein. The location”

"That's right" Naliko looked at Kurosaki Ichigo's expectant eyes and nodded with a smile.

Kurosaki Ichigo stood up excitedly and walked back and forth twice. Looking at that, he immediately wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Nariko looked at him with a smile, knowing that Kurosaki Ichigo was It was an indescribable feeling after seeing the dawn of hope again.

"Gugu..." Just when Kurosaki Ichigo was so excited that he didn't know what to say, his stomach was protesting with dissatisfaction at his unfair fate. Also, he had been in a coma these past few days. But not a single bit of water or rice has entered.

Nari burst out laughing, and Kurosaki Ichigo said with some embarrassment: "Why are you laughing? This is just a normal physiological reaction." Kurosaki Ichigo said and walked out.

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you shy and want to go out and hide?" Naliko teased.

Kurosaki Ichigo replied without looking back: "Of course I went out to find something to eat."

"For food," Naliko pointed to a pile of unknown fruits next to her and said, "Just eat some of these and make do with them. I'll go out and get some later."

Kurosaki Ichigo lowered his eyes and glanced at the food that Nari could point to. These fruits were very small and looked green. He bent down and picked up a fruit that was not much bigger than a table tennis ball and was shaped like an apple and put it in. In his mouth, a sour feeling instantly poured from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but frown and said: "You won't be able to get here just by eating these things these days, right?"

"Uh, what's wrong?" Nari rolled her eyes at Kurosaki Ichigo, knowing that he couldn't get used to eating these things, so she said dissatisfiedly, "You think I'm like you, I can just catch pheasants and the like. Food, it’s thanks to these fruits that I feed myself, otherwise I would starve to death here, and you don’t know what kind of animal would drag it away for lunch.”

"It's my fault, it's my fault," Kurosaki Ichigo raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. No matter how idiotic he was, he knew it was not appropriate to talk back at this time, so he followed Nariko and said, "I think it's too hard to eat these things all the time. It just so happens that I still have strength now and it’s not too late, so I’m going to go out to find some food to improve your meal.”

"That's pretty much it," Nariko nodded with satisfaction. Kurosaki Ichigo sighed and was about to turn around and leave the small cave, when Nariko called out to him again, "Hey, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Kurosaki Ichigo turned to look at Nariko. Nariko held her chin with one hand and gently tapped her chin with the white fingers of the other hand, as if she was thinking about something, but she kept No words were spoken, so Kurosaki Ichigo asked.

"After you go out, go to the right. There is a river over there." Nariko thought for a long time, and just when Kurosaki Ichigo was about to lose his patience, she finally spoke and pointed the direction for Kurosaki Ichigo, and then said with a sly smile, "When I passed by two days ago, I saw a lot of fish in it, but I couldn't catch it. I was very angry, so go and catch two."

"Is the fish acceptable? I'll go catch it now." Ichigo Kurosaki turned his head and thought for two seconds before replying. After saying that, he turned around and stepped on his right foot, and his whole body rushed forward like an arrow from a string. go out.

"Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet." Naliko wanted to stop Kurosaki Ichigo, but he disappeared in an instant, so she pouted unhappily.

Of course, Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't hear Nariko's words, because he had already rushed more than ten meters away in just an instant, and almost collided head-on with a big tree outside. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was in mid-air. He twisted around and passed by a thick tree trunk.

"Huh!" Kurosaki Ichigo, who had escaped the disaster, turned around and touched the trunk of the big tree behind him with a breath. Then he was surprised to find that at this time, his body was filled with far more power than before, as if he was not there. He had just woken up from a coma after a big battle, but had taken a nice rest after practicing hard, "Such power..."

As he spoke, Kurosaki Ichigo put more force on his hands, and a huge force was generated from his arms, and then transmitted to his palms through his forearms, acting on the big tree in front of him.

"click"

There was only a loud sound of the tree breaking, and then the big tree with enough thickness in front of Kurosaki Ichigo, which was surrounded by a person, broke directly under his huge force and slowly fell down with a series of creaking sounds. .

"bang"

Along with the loud sound of trees falling to the ground, there was also a huge plume of smoke, which almost enveloped Kurosaki Ichigo.

Naliko was startled when she heard the loud noise outside. The escape life with Kurosaki Ichigo hiding here these days made her a little nervous. When she heard the sound outside, she immediately jumped up and rushed out loudly. Shouted "What's wrong? Ichigo Ichigo?"

"I'm here." Kurosaki Ichigo casually swatted at the smoke and dust surrounding him. The power he unconsciously released formed strong breezes, taking away all the dust that obscured his vision. "It's nothing. It’s just that I accidentally broke a tree.”

"Cough, cough, cough," a large amount of dust blew over with the breeze stirred up by Ichigo Kurosaki. Nari couldn't help but cough repeatedly. She covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and the other He kept waving his hands in front of his face, "I accidentally broke a tree. Why didn't you accidentally kill yourself? To compensate me, you have to catch a few more fish and I want to eat four of them."

"Have you finished eating Shijo?" Kurosaki Ichigo muttered.

However, this time, Nariko's ears were surprisingly good and she heard Kurosaki Ichigo muttering to himself, so she said loudly: "I said I wanted to eat four sticks, of course I won't change my mind until I finish eating them. I want to eat eight sticks, go and grab them." "Nariko turned around and walked back to the cave without giving Kurosaki Ichigo a chance to refute. Now that she knew what Kurosaki Ichigo had accidentally done, Nariko's heart dropped back to her stomach. , so naturally I don’t want to stay here and enjoy the baptism of dust.

When Kurosaki Ichigo saw Nariko turning away, he wisely did not continue speaking. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at his hands in disbelief: "My power... has increased about four to five times. How can this be possible? what happened"

A puzzled look flashed through Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes, but he immediately thought of his previous experience: "Could it be because Xubai awakened and ran away? I remember that I absorbed a lot of natural power at that time. Maybe it was at that time The power of nature strengthens my physical fitness.”

"Ha ha ha ha"

Xubai's metallic voice full of evil aura suddenly sounded from behind Kurosaki Ichigo. Kurosaki Ichigo was startled and suddenly turned his head to look back. However, there was no one behind him, only lush woods standing upright. over there.

"Hollow...Zangetsu..." Kurosaki Ichigo muttered in a deep voice. The creepy feeling that he had when he met the Masked Legion as if there was a pair of eyes staring at his back came back again. Appearing in his heart, he understood that this was a sign that Xu Bai's demonic power was affecting him and was always ready to seize his body. Unfortunately, the initiative now rested in Xu Bai's hands.
