Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

With the transmission of Hei Jue's will, the entire Gaotian Palace seemed to come alive. Although no changes could be seen on the surface, inside it was like a giant beast that had just awakened and began to move in the dark.

However, Kurosaki Ichigo was still unaware at this time. He was looking nervously at Yanzong Katori in front of him to prevent the opponent from making an attack at any time. At the same time, he was suppressing Nariko's movements with one hand.

"Who are you, where do you come from, and what is your purpose?" Yan Zongxiang took the lead and asked.

Kurosaki Ichigo replied, "I can't tell you my name. You can just call me Kurosaki. I'm from Konoha."

"Konoha" Yan Zong Katori frowned and thought for a moment. In his time, Konoha did not exist yet. Even the Fire Country, one of the five major ninja countries, was just a country that relied on hiring ninjas to become stronger. That’s all, “Where is Konoha?”

Kurosaki Ichigo was startled, and then changed his explanation, "Konoha is a ninja organization, belonging to the Country of Fire, and its leader has the same status as the Daimyo of the Country of Fire."

Yan Zong Katori probably understood in his heart, "I see, that means you are a ninja, so why did you come here? Also, didn't our disciples of Hanren Kenshin Ryu stop you?"

At this time, Yanzong Katori, who was much calmer, remembered a lot of things again. He remembered that before losing consciousness, he had sent his disciple Yagyukawa Hisashi out and asked him to guard the Arctic Icefield to prevent outsiders from entering.

Thinking about it this way, Kurosaki Ichigo's identity seemed a bit suspicious again, so Yan Zong Katori's voice unconsciously contained a hint of killing.

Kurosaki Ichigo gave a bitter laugh. He felt that Yan Zong Katori was particularly irritable for some reason, but he did not hide it and said directly, "Yes, I was indeed blocked by the descendants of Hanren Kenshin-ryu, but I was defeated in the duel." I won over him, so he allowed me to enter the Far North Icefield. At the same time, one of the reasons why I was looking for the Temple of Heaven was to find out what happened to the disaster that happened here more than 200 years ago."

The other party's frankness made Yan Zong Katori less vigilant, but as the highly nervous spirit relaxed a little, the injuries on his body gushed out like a flood that broke through a dam.

"Well" Yan Zongxiangtori knelt on one knee, covered his mouth with one hand, and kept coughing, "cough cough cough cough"

Seeing Yan Zong Katori temporarily kneel down, Kurosaki Ichigo turned his attention back to Nariko. At this time, Nariko was still like a mad beast, constantly staring with scarlet eyes and struggling.

"Genjutsu, genjutsu, genjutsu, these are all genjutsu. How can I break them?" Kurosaki Ichigo thought while nagging, "How can I break genjutsu, right?"

Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly remembered something Senju Hashirama once said to him. Natural energy has a high resistance to illusions. There is no need to panic when you are exposed to illusions. You only need to absorb the natural energy and enter the sage mode. , the turbulent flow of chakra can break most illusions.

"Natural Energy" Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at Nariko in confusion, wondering whether he should take the method of infusing natural energy into Nariko's body.

After all, although it is very simple for Kurosaki Ichigo to absorb natural energy, this and infusing natural energy into other people's bodies are two different concepts.

Because in the process of absorbing natural energy, it only takes one mistake to turn it into stone uncontrollably, so there are so many toad statues on Mt. Miaomu.

It is already so dangerous to practice and extract natural energy by yourself, let alone directly injecting natural energy into other people's bodies. The danger of doing so is too great. Kurosaki Ichigo cannot guarantee that he will not fail, and he will bear the price of failure. Not worth it.

Seeing that Nari was struggling more and more fiercely, Kurosaki Ichigo became more and more entangled in his heart. Then at this moment, for some reason, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a red light flashing in front of his eyes.

"woooo"

A wolf howled in the distance, with an undisguised meaning of madness. If you listen carefully, it seems to be coming from outside the entire Gaotian Palace.

Kurosaki Ichigo's expression changed, and he asked Katori Yansou, whose coughing gradually subsided, "Senior Yansou, did you hear that wolf howl outside?"

"What a wolf howl?" Yan Zongxiangtori reluctantly raised his head. Blood flowed from between the fingers of his right hand covering his mouth, and fell to the ground drop by drop, forming a particularly dazzling contrast with the white snow on the ground.

"Yes," Kurosaki Ichigo said quickly, but he immediately shut his mouth, because at this moment, he discovered that the bright moonlight shining from above his head turned into a scarlet color, shrouding everything around him in a bloody atmosphere of killing. middle.

Ichigo Kurosaki raised his head stiffly and slowly, and found that three concentric circles and nine magatama had appeared on the huge full moon above his head. It looked like the evolved version of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, looking coldly. He stared at himself, who looked extremely small.

"what is this"

roar roar

Huge roars came from all directions outside the Palace of Heaven, as if countless monsters were surrounding the place, making people unable to help but feel a sense of crazy negativity in their hearts.

"Calm down," Kurosaki Ichigo slapped him in the face to wake himself up from this terrible atmosphere, "Think carefully about what these things are."

At this time, Ichigo Kurosaki remembered the scene of the disaster that happened more than 200 years ago that Ichimura in the city once described to him. He couldn't help but murmured: "First, the red moon broke through the clouds and looked like a god with cold eyes. Fire fell from the sky, and meteorites fell around. There is a giant beast roaring endlessly.”

Immediately, Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly raised his head and found that countless meteorites above his head were covered with clouds and moon, and they were smashing down in his direction along with blazing flames.

"These are all illusions. Otherwise, if this place had experienced all this more than 200 years ago, the surrounding buildings would not be so complete." Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly understood, and finally understood what the great disaster happened more than 200 years ago. "Now we just need to figure out why so many people fall under the spell."

Thinking of this, Kurosaki Ichigo slapped his forehead, "What do I want to do now? Even I, who have natural energy, have been caught in an illusion without knowing it. I absolutely can't stay here for long. I need to find a way to escape as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Kurosaki Ichigo bent down and picked up Nariko, held her in his arms so that she could not move, and then led her to overcome the violent earthquake-like shaking sensation under her feet and came to Katori's side.

"Senior Yan Zong, let's work together first and find a way to escape from here. It won't be too late to confront him after we leave the far north ice field."

Kurosaki Ichigo extended an invitation to cooperate, but Yan Zong Katori showed no intention of moving at all, as if he was frozen in place, not even breathing.

Seeing this situation, Kurosaki Ichigo was shocked. He quickly leaned down and reached out to check where Yan Zongxiang's nose was. He found that he had no breath at all, and he had passed away at some point.

Seeing that the once all-powerful swordsman died here silently, not only controlled by illusions during his lifetime, but even after his death, no one died, Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't help but feel a sense of the hero's twilight, the death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox. .

Out of the complicated emotions in his heart, Kurosaki Ichigo bent down and took Yan Zong Katori's sword Taiguang Kaiwen Yue and put it on his back. Then he pulled out Zhenheng, and the chakra surged through a large number of The snow covered Yan Zongxiangtori's body, and the hero was hastily buried.

After doing all this, Ichigo Kurosaki sighed, and then braced himself for the next battle, because he did not believe that the catastrophe that destroyed the backbone of the entire Iron Country samurai force could be a mere illusion. It can be done.

Sure enough, when Kurosaki Ichigo and Naliko were heading towards the Temple of Heaven, the ground in front of him suddenly shook violently, as if something fierce was trying to break out of the ground.

At this time, Kurosaki Ichigo no longer relies on vision or chakra perception to observe, but relies on his own intuition to determine things, because in genjutsu, all other perceptions are not as useful as intuition.

And now his intuition is reminding Kurosaki Ichigo that the scene in front of him is not an illusion, but is actually happening.

Kurosaki Ichigo was in the air, using natural energy to form a foothold under his feet, and then stepped back lightly. At this time, he had entered the sage mode, but he could not figure out the specific circumstances of the mutation. I don’t want to take my lead lightly.

The next second he exited, countless thick branches with the thickness of a person's arms burst out of the ground, pierced through the thick snow, and rushed toward Kurosaki Ichigo in a mad rush.

Kurosaki Ichigo remained calm in the face of danger. He waved his hand and slashed out with a sword. Hearing a cracking sound, he cut off all the branches that were tangled up in front of him.

Even so, a fish as thin as a wrist escaped Ichigo Kurosaki's attack, tightly wrapped around his left leg, and pulled him down fiercely.

Under the huge force of the branches, Kurosaki Ichigo was forced to fall on the thick layer of snow at his feet. The huge branches that he cut off rushed towards him again like a beast without fear.

At the same time, Kurosaki Ichigo also noticed that the branch wrapped around his left leg was frantically absorbing chakra from his body, and he didn't know why it was absorbing his own Senjutsu chakra that contained natural energy. In the end, it won't be petrified.

Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo in a dilemma, Kuro Zetsu, who was observing from a distance, showed a arrogant sneer on his face, "Although your natural energy has caused some trouble, you cannot be immune to your mother's genjutsu by relying on natural energy. It's a pity that in order not to destroy that thing, I have to deal with you quickly, otherwise I would still like to play with you."
