Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

Time is the easiest thing to pass by, especially for those who are still depressed, half a month flies by in a flash.

More than two weeks have passed since Ichigo Kurosaki woke up, and the injuries on Ichigo Kurosaki and Nariko have generally recovered.

Early in the morning, Kurosaki Ichigo ran to the top of Mt. Shirokyo. The biting cold wind on the mountain was not only not difficult for him, but he actually enjoyed it.

Looking far into the distance, the boundless white ice field in the distance is a magnificent scenery that is rare for ordinary people to see in their lifetime, but it seems a bit monotonous and boring for Kurosaki Ichigo, who has been recuperating here for half a month.

"Huh!" Kurosaki Ichigo stretched his body. The comfortable life during this period made him feel like his whole body was rusty. Then he took a long breath, and the white breath formed a long line under his strong lung capacity. A long line of mist sprays out from afar.

Ichimura in the city was sitting on the stone platform where he sat as usual. He was not far from Kurosaki Ichigo, so he heard his sigh very clearly, so he opened his closed eyes and said, "Why suddenly You sighed, are you still struggling with that matter?"

Kurosaki Ichigo glanced back at Jonouchi Ichimura. Of course he knew what Jonouchi Ichimura was referring to, and then turned his head back. "I am indeed a little confused, but I am not sighing for this. I just suddenly It’s just a little emotional.”

"Feelings." Ichimura in the city said with great interest, "You might as well tell me what kind of feelings you have." Then he added, "Of course, it doesn't matter if I don't say anything about you. .”

Kurosaki Ichigo shrugged and said, "There's nothing unspeakable about this. I just think that every generation of your descendants of Hanren Kenshin Ryu will stay here for the rest of their lives. Don't you feel bored or desperate? For this kind of never-ending, samey... Anyway, if it were me, I’d probably go crazy within a short time.”

"I thought you were thinking something," a smile appeared on Chenguchi Ichimura's face, "This kind of thing, how can I put it? Anyway, you just get used to it."

Kurosaki Ichigo forced a slightly sarcastic smile on his lips, "Can anyone really get used to this kind of life?"

Jonouchi Ichimura turned his head and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo, with no impatient expression on his face. "People's personalities are different. The dull and boring life that you find difficult may be what others pursue throughout their lives."

"Maybe," Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the endless snowfield in the distance, his eyes drifting to nowhere, "It's just that for me, this kind of life is really difficult. Even though I have only been here for half of Months, but it seems as long as more than ten years."

"It's no wonder that this kind of life is like this for most people. Not only us, Hanjian Guanxinliu, but also the entire country of iron. From sunrise to sunset, life is like a pool of stagnant water. But this is iron. The peace that the ancestors of the country dreamed of." The voice of a village in the city was also a little low, "Therefore, Hanren Guanxinliu will accept two disciples in each generation, and select the disciple who is more adaptable before the death of the previous successor. Let him inherit the name of Cold Blade Kenshin Ryu."

"What about the other disciple?" Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but ask.

A village in the city said without any fluctuation, "Expelled from the Iron Country, life and death will be determined by fate."

Kurosaki Ichigo grinned, "So your senior brothers were also like this at that time?"

"Of course," Jonouchi Ichimura nodded, "You should also know my junior brother. The last time I fought with you, didn't you also use his Cold Blade Senshin-ryu move?"

Kurosaki Ichigo said, "Who do I know?" Nearly ten years have passed since that bloody night. Kurosaki Ichigo's memory of that night was already very vague, so he thought for a while before recalling, "Ah, it's Sakai Speaking of which, you mentioned his name the last time we fought, right?"

"Well," Ichimura in the city responded, "that guy from Bo is extremely talented in swordsmanship, but he has an impatient temper and can't stand such a boring life, so he left here early and joined you after many years of wandering in the ninja world. That Konoha ninja village, I think I got the life I wanted."

"What about your disciples?" Ichigo Kurosaki said after being silent for a while, "Hei Kuroda and Hiroyuki Sanada, do you also want to make a choice between them?"

Jonouchi Ichimura was stunned by Kurosaki Ichigo's question, and then he chuckled and replied, "Speaking of this, I remembered that I have to ask you a favor."

"What's going on?" Kurosaki Ichigo was confused.

A village in the city did not answer immediately, but after sorting out his thoughts, he said, "You know, the reason why our descendants of Hanren Kenshinliu have to stay at this mountain of all scriptures every generation is because we have to protect it. The road leading to the Palace of Gaotian, now that the secret of the Palace of Gaotian has been revealed, there is no need for us to continue guarding it here."

"Isn't that great? You can go out and see the world and feel the richness and variety of the outside world."

Ichimura in the city smiled and shook his head, "That's what I said, but we, Hanren Guanshinliu, have been guarding here for more than 300 years. I have also been sitting here for decades, and I have long been accustomed to this kind of life."

After a pause, Jonouchi Ichimura continued, "Hebei grew up with me, and he has a quiet temperament and has adapted to this kind of life, so I am not worried about him. It's just that Bohao has experienced the prosperity of the outside world. , and he is not a quiet person, so he will definitely not be able to live peacefully here."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Ichigo Kurosaki felt something was wrong when he heard this, so he quickly stopped the village in the city, "What do you mean by saying these words to me?"

Ichimura in the castle looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with a smile, but Kurosaki Ichigo always felt that this smile was like a cunning smile that succeeded in his evil plot. "Kurosaki-kun, I know that you are planning to leave here soon to explore the ninja world, so I want to win." Hao, please give it to you, I hope you can take her to have some adventures."

As expected, these words echoed in Kurosaki Ichigo's heart, with a troubled look on his face, "You must know that Jonouchi, I"

"Your trip is dangerous, isn't it?" Ichimura said before Kurosaki Ichigo could finish.

Ichigo Kurosaki said, "Well, let's just say it is very dangerous anyway. It was a very wrong decision for you to let Hirohiro Sanada follow me."

Ichimura in the city showed a wry smile, "Why don't I know? Bohao is the disciple I raised since I was a child. I don't want her to leave here to find a career, but after all, she is different from Bingwei. She will never choose to live in this world all her life." here."

"Why are you so anxious?" Kurosaki Ichigo comforted, "Hirohiro Sanada is only a teenager now, so it's a little early to consider such a thing."

"Isn't it early? You probably don't know," a village in the city shook his head. "Each generation of Cold Blade Kenshin-ryu disciples must make a decision when they are 16 years old. Either they stay here forever, or they leave the Kingdom of Iron forever. return."

"But" Kurosaki Ichigo opened his mouth to say something else.

However, Ichimura in the city was the first to interrupt him, "I know what you want to say, but this is the tradition of Hanren Kenshin-ryu and cannot be changed."

Kurosaki Ichigo was speechless. Seeing this, Jonouchi Ichimura continued, "Compared to letting Bohao go out and start her own business, I think it is more reliable to let her learn from you and then start her own business."

"Have you thought so thoroughly?" Kurosaki Ichigo smiled bitterly.

"It's not that I think carefully, but that kid Bohao thinks thoughtfully," a villager in the city said with emotion, "You know, here through the connection with this world, I can vaguely detect the inner feelings of people. Thoughts, so I sensed Bohao’s desire to leave very early.”

As he spoke, Jonouchi Ichimura looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with piercing eyes, "Especially after you showed up and fought with me last time, Bohao's thoughts have become stronger and stronger."

"Ha" Kurosaki Ichigo looked in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

A village chief in the city sighed, "Well, I believe you can see that I have always focused on training soldiers and guards, but I have been somewhat neglectful of Bohao's teachings."

"That's true," Kurosaki Ichigo recalled, "I remember that you always urged Kuroda Hei to exercise, but you were not so concerned about Sanada Hirohiro."

"It's not that I don't care about Bohao, but regardless of her character or physique, her learning of our Hanrenshin-ryu moves is far inferior to that of Heibei, so she will definitely leave here to find herself. The way of swordsmanship," Jonouchi Ichimura explained to Kurosaki Ichigo, "and when you and I fought, Bohao seemed to have seen in you the way of swordsmanship that belonged to her."

"The Way of Swordsmanship" Ichigo Kurosaki was almost shocked to death by Ichimura Jonouchi's words, "What is this? I have never been exposed to any swordsmanship before. Why did Hirohiro Sanada see such strange things from me?" "

"The way of swordsmanship is not yours, but hers, and it can be understood from everything." A village in the city replied calmly.

Kurosaki Ichigo's mind was a little confused at this time, and he felt that he was not enough. He scratched his hair and said, "But this kind of thing is too much."

"You don't have to answer me now whether you agree or not." Ichimura in the city also saw Kurosaki Ichigo's dilemma, so he also backed down. "Anyway, if you want to leave, you need to wait a few more days, right? That's fine." Take these few days to think about it.”

"Okay, I'll go think about it." Kurosaki Ichigo said hurriedly, and then hurriedly left the top of the mountain as if being chased by some beast, not wanting to look at the village inside the castle again.

Ichimura in the city watched Kurosaki Ichigo disappear, and then sighed, "Bohao, the future path depends on you."
