Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

A slight chill came from his fingertips, making Ichigo Kurosaki tremble slightly, and then a warm hand covered his forehead.

"What's going on? Where is this?" Kurosaki Ichigo, who had regained some consciousness, did not open his eyes in a hurry, but thought about his situation in his heart.

There are soft cushions under the body, and the surrounding temperature is not too cold. Well, there is someone next to him. Kurosaki Ichigo thought this while slowly opening his eyes. It seemed that he was at least out of danger on the ice field. Okay, the result is not too bad

The light from the outside world was relatively soft, but it was still a bit too dazzling for Kurosaki Ichigo. He couldn't help but narrow his newly opened eyes into a slit, and slowly adapted to the environment.

"Um, I don't know him." Kurosaki Ichigo paused, then changed his words, "No, this roof is quite familiar."

The little girl next to him was stunned by his sudden words, and then burst into laughter.

Kurosaki Ichigo was attracted by the laughter. He turned his head and saw a handsome girl about his own age with bright and white teeth. There was no one else in the room. Obviously, the owner of the hand that touched his forehead just now was this girl.

Seeing this girl, Kurosaki Ichigo showed a relieved smile on his face, "It's you, Sanada." He obviously still remembered this girl who took him up the mountain twice to find a village in the city.

Sanada Hirohiro also smiled slightly and said, "You're awake, Kurosaki-kun. I just saw that you were about to wake up, so I went to find my master, and he will be here soon."

Kurosaki Ichigo obviously did not listen to what Hirohiro Sanada said. Instead, he recalled the difficult experience of entering the arctic ice field. He said with some emotion, "I am so happy to see you again." After that, he also He reached out and grabbed Sanada Hirohiro's white and tender little hand and shook it, looking very affectionate.

Kurosaki Ichigo's sudden confession and intimate gesture made Sanada Hirohiro startled, and then he blushed and stuttered, "What?"

"It's nothing," Kurosaki Ichigo let go of Sanada Hirohiro's hand, knocked on his neck and said with a smile, "I'm just a little emotional that I can still come back alive."

When Hirohiro Sanada heard what he said, he couldn't help but think of the way Ichigo Kurosaki looked when he saw him a few days ago. His face as stiff and ashen as a dead man was really scary, and it left a very deep impression on the little girl. So he couldn't help but nodded in understanding.

Kurosaki Ichigo didn't care about Sanada Hirohiro's reaction. Instead, he sat up with his hands on the bed under his body and asked curiously, "By the way, where is Naliko? How long have I been unconscious?"

"That little girl is still in a coma, but she should wake up soon." At this time, a voice from a village in the city came from outside the house, "But you, your physical fitness is really amazing, and you have become pregnant in less than a day. Just woke up from such severe frostbite.”

Before he finished speaking, the people in the wooden house were pushed away, and a villager from the city walked in, followed by his favorite disciple Kuroda Hei. At this time, Kuroda Hei was holding a copper-yellow kettle in his hand, with the spout of the pot facing straight. White mist kept coming out, which was obviously filled with hot water.

Kurosaki Ichigo touched his nose and became unusually humble, "My quick recovery is one of my few advantages."

"This is an advantage worthy of others' envy." A smile appeared on the face of Ichinouchi Ichigo, who had always been familiar with Furui Muha. He took the pot of hot water from Kuroda Hei behind him and put it on Kurosaki Ichigo's bedside table. Fill a cup on the table and hand it to him, "I think you haven't eaten for a long time. You can only eat liquid food for the time being. Drink some hot water to fill your stomach."

As he said that, Ichimura in the city turned his attention to Hirohiro Sanada, who was standing beside him. "It just so happens that the kitchen has just cooked a pot of porridge. Hirohiro, go and bring it over."

"Yes, Master." Sanada Hirohiro agreed, and after taking a look at Kurosaki Ichigo, he went out to get porridge.

Jonouchi Ichimura was the only one in the room who noticed Sanada Hirohiro's movements. He couldn't help but frown, feeling that Sanada Hirohiro seemed to pay too much attention to Kurosaki Ichigo during this period.

"Haha" Kurosaki Ichigo took the cup and took a sip of hot water, and then let out a long sigh of relief. He had not drank hot water for almost half a month. When he drank it, his whole body felt warm instantly. Yes, the hunger has also been driven away a lot.

After taking another sip of hot water, Kurosaki Ichigo put down the cup and leaned against the bedside and said lazily, "It feels like every time I come to you, nothing good happens. You always make me faint."

In response to Kurosaki Ichigo's teasing, Jonouchi Ichimura shook his head, and then nodded, "Indeed, but everything happens for a reason. This time I saved your life."

Kurosaki Ichigo shrugged boredly, "Maybe."

After he said this, no one in the room spoke again, and there was silence for a while.

After waiting for a while, a village in the city hesitated and said, "Have you found it?"

"Is this the Temple of Gaotian?" Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but smile when he saw that the village in the castle finally couldn't hold back his anger, "I found it."

"what"

When the villagers in the city heard this, their spirits suddenly rose, and their bodies involuntarily bowed forward slightly, with a look of eagerness on their faces. This was something Kuroda Bingwei had never seen before in this place, which has always been as cold as anything that has been on the top of the mountain for thousands of years. It was a look I had seen on the master who was as cold as ice.

creak

At this moment, the door of the room rang, and Hirohiro Sanada came in carrying a small black pot. The pot was not covered with a lid, and the aroma of rice overflowed from the inside, scrambling to get into Kurosaki Ichigo's nose. .

Kurosaki Ichigo touched his belly embarrassedly, where he had made a couple of unsatisfactory growls just now.

Jonouchi Ichimura retracted his eager expression and stepped aside to make way for Hiroyuki Sanada to smoothly place the porridge pot he was carrying on the table next to Kurosaki Ichigo's bedside.

"Freshly cooked rice porridge is perfect for patients who have not eaten for a long time," said Hiroyuki Sanada with a sweet smile.

The black porridge pot is not big, only two circles larger than an ordinary bowl. A brown wooden spoon is placed in the pot.

Kurosaki Ichigo, who had an empty stomach, sniffed. He couldn't hide his hunger. He and Nariko had finished their food four or five days before they arrived at Shirokyo Mountain, and they had been pushing on on their way since then. At this time It was a bit unbearable, so I reached out to hold the porridge pot, picked up a spoon and poured a few mouthfuls of rice soup into my mouth.

"It's so hot." Ichigo Kurosaki endured the burning sensation and swallowed the rice porridge in his mouth. After just a few mouthfuls, he saw that the small black pot had reached the bottom.

After eating, he touched his mouth, put the small pot back in place, patted his belly and said, "But this is the first time I feel how happy it is to be able to eat."

Sanada Hirohiro and Kuroda Hei were both happy when they heard what he said, but Jonouchi Ichimura didn't have any expression. He just turned to the two disciples and said, "You go out to check on Miss Nariko first. I and I Kurosaki-kun, we have something to discuss.”

"Yes, Master."

"Understood, Master."

Both of them nodded in agreement and walked out of the room. Hirohiro Sanada also thoughtfully closed the door, creating a good space for them to talk.

After confirming that his two disciples were far away, Jonouchi Ichimura pulled the chair where Sanada Hirohiro had sat before, sat down and said, "Now you can tell me your experience on this trip." At this point, Jonouchi Ichimura paused. After a pause, he added, "Especially about the Palace of Gaotian"

Kurosaki Ichigo made a reassuring gesture, then thought for a moment before slowly speaking, "I think the first half of this trip is of no use to you, so just pick up the useful ones."

A village in the city nodded in agreement.

"Nariko and I kept traveling north after entering the Far North Icefield," Kurosaki Ichigo recalled. "After traveling for about half a month, we found that more than half of the supplies were consumed, so we decided to come back to replenish supplies."

A village in the city nodded slightly, "Wise decision."

Ichigo Kurosaki didn't care about Ichimura Jonouchi's interruption and continued, "But within a few days of walking back, we found that we had lost our way."

"How is it possible to lose your way? Don't you guys carry several compasses?" Ichimura said with a frown. Then he saw Kurosaki Ichigo looking at him and smiling without saying a word. A sudden inspiration flashed in his mind, "Wait a minute, are you?" explain"

"That's right," Kurosaki Ichigo nodded, "We encountered a strange heavy fog. The compass has lost its effect in the fog, and the wind release ninjutsu cannot blow away the fog."

At this point, he paused and looked at the reaction of a village in the city before continuing, "After losing the guidance, we could only continue moving in the direction in memory, but we couldn't leave the fog range for several days, so we decided We’ll camp where we are for the time being and wait for the fog to dissipate.”

"After the fog dissipated, you found that the Temple of Gaotian appeared in front of you." Ichimura Jonouchi said with a bitter smile. Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo nodding in affirmation, his smile became even more bitter, "Your experience is really He is exactly the same as Yan Zong Katori-sama back then."

Kurosaki Ichigo sighed, "What's even more amazing? We repaired it after discovering the Temple of Heaven, and then entered it. We found the palace where Yan Zongkatori obtained the Natural Stone, and also discovered the palace that existed hundreds of years ago. The corpses of the warriors who died inside were even found, including Yan Zong Katori."

"Did you find the body of Master Yanzong Katori?" A village in the city was a little surprised.

Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head and denied, "No, I didn't find his body."

A villager in the city frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand yet?" Kurosaki Ichigo showed a strange expression on his face, "I mean, he was not dead when I found him."

"what"
