Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

Black Zetsu has never dared to get too close to Uchiha Madara, the reincarnation of Indra, because Uchiha Madara's strength is too terrifying, and he is even more likely to open the Samsara Eye than Indra.

Of course, facts also prove that Uchiha Madara is indeed the most likely person to open the Samsara Eye, because after transplanting the flesh and blood of Senju Hashirama, he is the first Indra in thousands of years to have both a fairy body and a fairy eye. Luo reincarnation

It was precisely for this reason that Black Zetsu was very careful and never dared to stay around Uchiha Madara for a long time. He could not guarantee that he could lurk around him without being discovered.

But for this period of time, Black Zetsu has been hiding in Uchiha Madara's secret base, observing the opponent secretly, and he has a premonition that Uchiha Madara is about to die soon.

At the end of his life, the interaction between Uchiha Madara's human body and the Immortal Eye is very likely to open the Reincarnation Eye. At that time, it will be time for Black Zetsu to appear and continue his plan.

However, at this moment, a chakra fluctuation coming from the distant direction of the Iron Country alarmed Black Zetsu who was thinking about his own plan.

"Yeah." Hei Zetsu raised his eyebrows when he felt the fluctuation. He first observed Uchiha Madara and found that he didn't seem to notice it, and then he started to think.

"This wave is coming from the mother's palace in the far north ice field. Could it be that someone has entered the Palace of Gaotian again? Isn't there a group of warriors guarding the entrance there?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Black Zetsu sneered, as if he was mocking those guys who didn't know whether to live or die, "Forget it, anyway, Uchiha Madara still has a few days to live, just in time for me to go back and take a look."

"Now, let's let that guy play with the new little guy."

While thinking about it, a secret chakra wave was emitted from Hei Jue's body, and its target was the Palace of Heaven standing on the ice field.

Kurosaki Ichigo and Naliko groped around the altar for a long time, but apart from the changes they saw with their naked eyes, they did not get any useful information, which made them feel a little discouraged.

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye during the search. Seeing the sky outside getting darker, Kurosaki Ichigo had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he pulled Nariko who was still looking for clues.

"Stop looking for it now. It's a bit late now. Let's leave the Palace of Heaven immediately. If nothing happens at night, we'll come back and look for it tomorrow." Although Kurosaki Ichigo was not willing to leave like this, his reason still allowed him to leave. He had to make a choice.

Naliko glanced at the room with some reluctance and begged, "There is still some sunshine now, so let's look for it again."

Of course Kurosaki Ichigo also had this idea, but he still had many responsibilities on his body, so he couldn't be so willful, so he grabbed Nariko's wrist and said forcefully, "No, at least not until after today."

Naturally, the weaker Nari couldn't defeat Kurosaki Ichigo, so she was directly held by Kurosaki Ichigo by the wrist and walked out of the palace.

Outside the door, Ichigo Kurosaki and Nari were surprised to find that the dark clouds that persisted all year round in the Far North Icefield in the sky above them had been swept away.

The setting sun finally revealed itself like a huge fireball, dyeing the entire sky a dim orange color, and was about to disappear under the horizon.

At the same time, the moon, as bright as a silver plate, was not drowned by the afterglow of the setting sun. It hung clearly in the sky on the other side, as if it could not wait to show off its grace.

Kurosaki Ichigo's expression changed. He remembered that the detailed description of a village in the city later said that the night when Yan Zong Katori and others entered the Gaotian Temple and a catastrophe occurred, it was a cloudless day and the moon was in the middle of the sky. , all these things now have been experienced by the two of them. This is really not a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Kurosaki Ichigo tightened his grip on Nariko's hand, and then quickened his pace, trying to leave this strange high-sky palace as quickly as possible.

Within a few minutes, the sun was completely swallowed up by the horizon, but the bright moonlight shined selflessly, and after being reflected by the thick snow, it didn't look very dark.

The two of them ran like this for about ten minutes, and they were about to reach the gate of Gaotian Temple, but the sharp-eyed Kurosaki Ichigo keenly noticed a tall and shadowy figure standing on a building in the distance.

So Kurosaki Ichigo pulled Nariko sharply, and both of them landed lightly on the snow and stopped.

Na Li was a little confused and turned around and asked, "Why did you stop?"

Kurosaki Ichigo didn't say anything, but just pursed his lips at the figure.

Nariko squinted her eyes, but her eyesight was not as good as Kurosaki Ichigo's. She felt that it was dim and couldn't see anything clearly, so she asked again, "Is there something over there? How can I see it?"

boom

Before she could finish speaking, the building at the feet of the figure in the distance collapsed, making a huge noise as if it had been struck by an invisible giant hand.

Nari was stunned by the sound, and then from Kurosaki Ichigo's angle, the figure shot towards him like a bullet.

Before he figured out the identity of his opponent, Kurosaki Ichigo was not prepared to resist the enemy's attack. After all, he still had Nari to protect, so he just shouted "Be careful"

Immediately, Kurosaki Ichigo hugged Nariko into his arms, put his toes on the thick layer of snow under his feet, and dodged to the right, landing gently on a building on the right.

The next second Ichigo Kurosaki dodged, the figure slammed into the place where he was standing. After an explosion, a snow pit with a diameter of more than ten meters and a depth of three meters appeared there. .

At such a close distance, Kurosaki Ichigo finally saw the face of the attacker clearly. He was a tall young man who looked less than 30 years old. He was wearing a black suit and holding a pistol in his hand. The slender katana, but his pale and pale complexion ruined his handsome face.

After the expressionless green-faced man glanced at Kurosaki Ichigo and Kurosaki Ichigo with a dull gaze, a trace of pain appeared on his face, and he stood there without continuing the attack.

"Is this guy the guardian of the Temple of Heaven?" Ichigo Kurosaki put Nariko down. As soon as his feet touched the ground, Nariko couldn't wait to ask.

Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head, "It doesn't look like it. Look at his clothes. Don't you think he looks familiar?"

"It looks familiar." Naliko tilted her head and thought for a moment, and suddenly a picture flashed in her mind, "By the way, when you entered the Temple of Heaven before, you used chakra to shake open the snow, and those skeletons under the snow The clothes on her body are very similar to his."

At this point, Naliko was stunned. She had a guess in her mind. She looked at Kurosaki Ichigo and couldn't say any more. "Is this possible?"

Kurosaki Ichigo nodded, as if confirming her guess.

"It's not impossible, it's been hundreds of years," Nali couldn't help but swallowed, "How could there be anyone alive?"

"Not necessarily," Kurosaki Ichigo analyzed calmly. "His clothes and body are covered with ice. It is very possible that he has been frozen for so many years. I just don't know if it was man-made or an accident."

"Then what should we do?" Naliko asked for his opinion.

Kurosaki Ichigo said decisively, "It seems that something happened to him. Let's leave now. Let's get out of Gaotian Palace first." After that, he picked up Nariko and prepared to leave here at full speed.

However, the two of them had just started to move. The green-faced man who had been standing there with a look of pain on his face was suddenly shaken, his eyes shot out with a scarlet light, and a terrifying murderous aura emanated from his body.

Kurosaki Ichigo, who was far away, felt this murderous intent, and couldn't help but glance back. He was surprised to find that the green-faced man had already chased not far behind the two of them, and at the same time, the katana in his hand was also pointed at him. 's back.

tiger tail sword

At the critical moment, Kurosaki Ichigo pulled out Zhenheng from his back with his backhand, and the weapon drew a beautiful arc in the air, blocking the green-faced man's thrust.

But at the same time, Kurosaki Ichigo's forward momentum was also broken, and he had to land on a building next to him, facing the green-faced man who also landed on that building several meters away.

"This feeling is" Kurosaki Ichigo recalled the moment of the fight, "The move he just used was a dragon attack. Could it be that this guy was a disciple of Hanren Kenshin-ryu in the past?"

Before Ichigo Kurosaki could finish thinking, the green-faced man attacked again. It was just a mediocre stab in the chest, but it made Ichigo Kurosaki feel an irresistible majestic feeling in his heart.

tiger's mouth sword

Kurosaki Ichigo held Zhenheng in his right hand, and at the same time, he jerked his wrist and deflected the green-faced man's attack.

After that, he put his left hand around Nariko's slender waist and took a few steps back. An unbelievable look flashed in his eyes and he said, "How could this be the preface?"

This sequence of swords is the first move in the Ichi no Tachi move. It is the simplest and also the most difficult move, because it is easy to master, but very difficult to master.

With Kurosaki Ichigo's talent, his mastery of the preface sword is far inferior to that of the green-faced man. He believes that ordinary people will never reach the level of the green-faced man without decades of immersion.

Kurosaki Ichigo lowered his eyes and glanced at the weapon in the green-faced man's hand, "Is the shape of this weapon the Taiguang Kaiwen Yue?"

Thinking of this, Kurosaki Ichigo has vaguely determined the identity of the other party. After all, in this strange palace of high heaven, he can skillfully use the moves of Ichi no Tachi and hold the famous sword Taiguang passed down from generation to generation in the Cold Blade Kenshin style. Apart from the former Sword Master Yan Zong Katori, the person who opened Wen Yue really couldn't think of any other candidate.

"Heh, it looks like we're in trouble." Kurosaki Ichigo laughed bitterly, and then looked at Yanzong Katori who was attacking with his sword again, and couldn't help but tighten his right hand that was holding Zhenheng.
