Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

It's August of the 20th year in Konoha, and the heat of midsummer has been replaced by autumn.

As early as four months ago, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire had declared war on each other, and the war was in full swing within the Kingdom of Sichuan.However, perhaps due to the tacit understanding between the two sides, the scale of the war did not reach the level of a ninja war, and the two countries did not intend to send ninjas to the other country to cause destruction.

But this tacit understanding was broken in June and July, because the Earth Country, one of the five major countries, also declared war on Konoha.The battlefield also moved from the Kingdom of Sichuan to the Kingdom of Rain. The ninjas of the Three Kingdoms fought in that rainy land. No one knew which side would become the final winner.

However, these troubles in the ninja world, like the seasons, never seem to affect Kurosaki Ichigo and his party. At this moment, they are walking in a large mountain. The woods around them are lush and lush, and it does not look like it is entering autumn at all.

"It's already August," Nariko said with a sigh as she walked and looked at the green leaves on the dense branches. "It's just that I can't feel the changes of the four seasons here at all."

Kurosaki Ichigo, who was walking in front of the team, said without looking back, "This is the southernmost tip of the Land of Fire. A dozen kilometers further south is the endless sea. Naturally, it will be such a hot and rainy climate."

"Well, Ichigo, don't always be so incomprehensible when others are sad." Naliko pouted and said unhappily.

Perhaps because she returned to the Country of Fire where she had lived for many years, Nariko's cold and hard temperament that she had honed in the desert of the Country of Wind had disappeared. Instead, she had regained the cuteness and cuteness of her childhood. The title of Ichigo Saki also returned to the original Ichigo.

"I think he just doesn't want to pay attention to you," Sanada Hirohiro said casually, "After all, the queen of Loulan Ancient Kingdom is much more attractive than you, otherwise this guy wouldn't have gone to great lengths to help the entire Loulan Ancient Town. People have moved to the Land of Fire."

Hirohiro Sanada was talking about what happened a few months ago. After obtaining the Book of Grell, Kurosaki Ichigo immediately started the decoding work and completed it quickly with the help of Nariko.

However, after unlocking the code of the Book of Grayl, Ichigo Kurosaki did not immediately go to the Stone Mine of Grayl, but began to make suggestions for Saya.

Because Kurosaki Ichigo knew that in a country like the Kingdom of Wind, which was extremely militaristic and had strong folk customs, the Loulan people who had no strength to back them up would undoubtedly be guilty of harboring a treasure when they received this huge sum of money from him. It will be plundered.

That's why he helped Saya lead the Loulan people across the border of wind and fire and the entire Kingdom of Sichuan to the land at the southern end of the Kingdom of Fire, where the Loulan people would start their new life.

But despite having a clear conscience about his decision, Ichigo Kurosaki rarely explained after hearing Hirohiro Sanada's teasing, "It's just a matter of loyalty to others."

It's just that Kurosaki Ichigo's explanation is better than no explanation at all, and Nariko's eyes turned sharp when she looked at him. "It sounds good to say that you should benefit from others and be loyal to them, but I don't know how true it is." It’s a sincere thought.”

Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head with a wry smile, then glanced at the map in his hand, and his face became serious, "Cheer up, everyone, stop talking. We are already close to the sealing location of the Grayl Stone vein."

Although they knew that this was probably a trick used by Ichigo Kurosaki to change the subject, Nariko and Hirohiro Sanada nodded in unison after hearing his serious words.Then the two of them looked at each other, secretly hating themselves for not living up to expectations.

But one thing they guessed wrong was that Kurosaki Ichigo was not actually being alarmist, but actually felt something was wrong.To be precise, he had always felt something was wrong since he set foot on this majestic mountain. He always had the feeling of being peeped from behind.

It's just that Kurosaki Ichigo didn't get anything after releasing his chakra to explore. In addition, he thought that the people in Konoha would not know the sealing location of the Grayl Stone vein, so he felt a little relieved and did not Tell Nariko and Hirohiro Sanada about his uneasiness.

With a hint of uneasiness in his heart, Kurosaki Ichigo led two companions to a hidden cave hidden in a dense jungle.

"It should be here." Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at the dark cave, then looked down at the map in his hand, confirming that this cave was his target.

Sanada Hirohiro looked at the cave entrance, which was only about one person tall and could barely pass through. The corner of his mouth twitched. "Hey, tell me, are you sure that the back of this cave entrance will be the place where the Grayl Stone vein is sealed? This looks too shabby, right?"

"It's okay to be shabby," Kurosaki Ichigo emphasized impatiently, "Do we need to build it so magnificently? I wish I could tell you that this is the place where the Grayl Stone vein is sealed."

Papapa

Suddenly, there was a sound of clapping in the dense forest. Kurosaki Ichigo and the other three were horrified and looked towards the direction of the sound.I saw the trees there swaying, and then a woman about thirty years old, with a mature charm all over her body, walked out.

The woman was wearing a black tight-fitting combat uniform, which made her alluring figure even more concave and convex. However, the arrogant sneer on her face and the too strong eyebrows and feet ruined the overall beauty.

Naliko was deeply impressed by this face, and Kurosaki Ichigo was naturally very familiar with it. He saw a wry smile on his face, "Koharu"

Koharu raised his eyebrows and interrupted Kurosaki Ichigo's words with a cold voice, "I think you shouldn't call me so affectionate. Instead, you should call me Captain. My mission is to capture you, the rebellious ninja of Konoha." Mr. Uchiha Ichigo"

"I thought your mission was to lead Konoha's troops to fight against Sunagakure and Iwagakure." Kurosaki Ichigo's face remained unchanged and he continued to say with a wry smile, but the hand behind his back was directed at Nari. But it was a show off with Hirohiro Sanada.

After turning to bed, Koharu narrowed his eyes, "You seem to have underestimated your value, Uchiha Ichigo. I originally thought that you should have made some progress after spending so many years in the ninja world."

"I don't have such a thing as growth," Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head, "I'm still as bad as ever."

Kurosaki Ichigo's words were naturally expressed with emotion, but when Koharu went to bed, they sounded like ridicule. They reminded her of the battle that destroyed a dozen ANBU elite Jonin nearly ten years ago, and she couldn't help but shout angrily. He said, "Why are you arrogant? Do you think you can still run away?"

"Of course I won't take such chances, but you don't seem to understand my pursuit, Koharu," Kurosaki Ichigo said softly.

He knew with his toes that since Xiaochun dared to appear in front of him after sleeping, it meant that a dragnet had been set up around him and others, and this time there was no Xubai guy coming to the rescue.

But even so, Kurosaki Ichigo did not panic, because now that he was here, he never thought about leaving. He just needed to open the Cave of Time and Space to contact his original world and then go back.

"Don't show that look," Xiaochun said coldly when he went to bed, "Do you really think that relying on your previous strength will allow you to run away this time?"

Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned. He didn't expect that after so many years, Koharu would still be so familiar with him when he went to bed. He could detect his mental state just from the changes in his eyes.He grinned and said, "You're still the same."

Before he finished speaking, Kurosaki Ichigo turned his head and shouted "Run" and then pulled out Zhenheng from behind like lightning. Chakra was poured into it, and blazing flames burned from the wooden blade.

The two women behind him reacted immediately after hearing the loud shout. Sanada Hirohiro moved the fastest, passing a distance of more than ten meters like a gust of wind, and entered the target's cave.

Nariko's movements were not slow either, and she followed closely behind Hirohiro Sanada and entered.Ichigo Kurosaki waved Zhenheng to block Koharu who wanted to rush forward, and then turned his wrist to form a curtain of fire in front of him, blocking a large number of kunai that suddenly shot towards him from deep in the jungle.

"Give up." After turning to bed, Koharu's kunai cut through the air and collided with Zhenheng, "Do you think we will just wait for you on the periphery?"

Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes narrowed, knowing that he could not delay any longer, so under the violent surge of chakra, the flames on the Zhenheng sword suddenly swelled, forcing back Koharu who was limited by the short blade, and then turned around He also entered the cave like a lightning bolt.

However, seeing Kurosaki Ichigo fleeing the battlefield and going to bed, Koharu was unhurried and did not rush to pursue him. Instead, he turned to dozens of black-clothed ANBU who emerged from the jungle and ordered: "Watch the perimeter, don't let anyone Leave here without permission, even if it costs your life.”

"Yes" the ANBU ninjas answered uniformly.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Xiaochun nodded before going to bed, and then walked into the cave unhurriedly.

You only need to walk less than a hundred meters from the back of the cave to reach a long corridor. When you walk into the long corridor, you will feel a sudden sense of enlightenment.After turning to bed, Xiaochun looked up at the tall corridor roof, which was dozens of meters high from the ground and carried a majestic momentum. She couldn't help but think of how prosperous the Greer Empire was back then.

However, Kurosaki Ichigo, who entered the cave first, was not as interested in sleeping as Koharu. He ran quickly, fearing that without him by his side, Nariko and Sanada Hiroyuki would suffer due to the arrangements of the Konoha ninjas. .

Soon Kurosaki Ichigo ran out of the corridor and came to an arch bridge connecting a magnificent palace in the distance.Ignoring the sense of peeping coming from all directions, in a few breaths he followed the arch bridge and entered the tall but dilapidated palace in the distance.

After passing through several arches, Kurosaki Ichigo arrived at the center of the palace, where there was only a suspended platform connected to the entrance by a long bridge, and there were several figures standing on the platform.

Kurosaki Ichigo looked carefully and found that the two figures in the center were his companions Nariko and Hiroyuki Sanada, but they were already surrounded by a group of ninjas wearing black tights and animal masks.

The leader of the ANBU ninja group was not wearing a mask, so Kurosaki Ichigo easily recognized his identity.
