Chapter 180: Holy, special day!

By the way, during the years when Hinamori Momo was studying at the Maou Academy, quite a few geniuses did emerge in the academy.

There is no need to say much about Hinamori Momo, Kira Izuru, and Abarai Renji.

They are students of the same term and classmates.

In the original work, they all became vice-captains in the end, and Abarai Renji even learned Bankai, which gave him combat power at the captain level.

A few years later, Hisagi Shuhei, who had led them to participate in the Soul Burial in the Present World, was also the vice-captain of the 9th Division in the original work. A few years later, geniuses like Hitsugaya Toushirou enrolled, and he and Hinamori Momo were childhood sweethearts.

Of course, there is one most important person who has not been mentioned: Rukia Kuchiki.

It is different from the nobles who are in a situation of transition.

The quality of civilian death gods has been very high over the years.

Not to mention that all of them have the status of captain, it is already a rare thing to have so many reapers with the qualifications of vice-captains emerge within a few years.

Think of this.

Natsuki looked at Abarai Renji who was leisurely sitting in the training ground of the 11th Division.

"Renji!"

A loud voice came out of Xia Mu's mouth.

Abarai Renji quickly looked towards the source of the voice and saw his captain appear at the edge of the training ground. "Captain!"

He called out to Xia Mu.

There was deep respect in his words.

"You've been a bit slack lately."

With a faint smile on his face, Xia Mu said to Abarai Renji, "Your classmate Hinamori has transferred to the 10th Division as vice-captain. You have to keep working hard."

"I have actually tried very hard." Abarai Renji replied, "But Captain, you also know that there are many strong people in our 11th Division. It is not easy for me to get the position of chief officer. You can't let me compete for the position of vice-captain."

"Or is there something about Vice Captain Yadomaru that makes you, the captain, dissatisfied? Do you want to replace her and let me be the vice captain?"

At this point, Abarai Renji gave a silly smile, obviously dreaming.

Boom!
Xia Mu gave him a slap on the head.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xia Mu said to Abarai Renji unhappily, "I know that the competition in our team is a bit intense, but I still hope that you can work hard to improve your abilities. Who knows, one day you might be noticed by a captain and transferred to another team to serve as vice-captain."

How could the competitive pressure in the 11th Division not be great?
So many guys who were supposed to be captains or vice-captains were squeezed into the 11th Squadron and served as chief officers.

Even though Abarai Renji has good qualifications, he is still too young compared to those people.

Let’s take a look at who are Renji Abarai’s competitors.

There is no need to say much about Tosen Kaname, Komamura Sajin, and Ichimaru Gin, they are captain-level characters in the original work.

In addition, there is Rangiku who has not had the fragment of the Soul King's fingertip removed from her body.

There is the character of Madarame who secretly learned Bankai on his own, and there is also Ayasegawa Yumichika who is very powerful but extremely low-key.

At this stage, even if Abarai Renji practiced hard, he was still no match for these people.

But in the future, perhaps we can surpass the last two.

Natsuki couldn't tell whether he could surpass Rangiku.

In the original work, Rangiku, who lost the Soul King's fingertip fragment and barely survived by relying on Ichimaru Gin to use his own soul to repair the missing soul, became the vice-captain.

And now in this world, because the soul is not defective.

The qualifications of Rangiku and Ichimaru Gin are far superior to those in the original work.

The latter is a genius, so it’s not surprising.

As for the former, his spiritual power is always in a stage of rapid growth, and until now, it has not grown to its limit. This made Xia Mu feel a little interested in the fragment of the Spirit King's fingertip in Rangiku's body.

Of course, it was impossible for him to seize the Soul King fragments from his subordinates' bodies.

"Captain, you think too highly of me."

"Even if a captain wants to select a vice-captain, the first people he should look at should be the seniors."

Abarai Renji thought what Natsuki said was a joke.

Xia Mu smiled and said nothing more.

……

Hitsugaya Toshiro became the youngest captain of the Gotei 13, filling the vacancy in the 10th Squad.

Hinamori Momo transferred from the 5th Squad to the 10th Squad.

It also helps relieve the pressure on Hitsugaya Toushirou.

In the original work, Hitsugaya Toshiro's adjutant Matsumoto Rangiku is a simple lazy bum. He is crazy about playing sloppy and doesn't take care of the team affairs at all. All the team affairs fall on Hitsugaya Toshiro, which naturally affects Hitsugaya Toshiro's daily training.

Now that Hitsugaya Toshiro has found a capable helper and has some free time, Natsuki will naturally continue to train Hitsugaya Toshiro.

Carving a piece of raw jade into shape is actually a very fulfilling thing.

In addition to the Zanpakutō, Natsuki generously passed on all his life's learning to Hitsugaya Toushirou, training him into an almighty god of death.

Time flies by fast.

In this world.

After Kurosaki Isshin and Kurosaki Masaki gave birth to Kurosaki Ichigo, they gave birth to two younger sisters for him, one named Yuko and the other named Xia Li.

Ichigo Kurosaki is also growing up day by day.

In the blink of an eye, he went to elementary school.

Although he has orange hair inherited from his mother and looks a bit like a bad boy, Ichigo Kurosaki's grades are undoubtedly excellent. He has a cheerful and optimistic personality. In school, he has not yet made the acquaintance of Inoue Orihime, Chatari Yasutora and others, but he has a very good relationship with Arisawa Ryuki. This is related to the fact that Ichigo Kurosaki went to learn karate when he was four years old. Although he was a boy, he was punched and cried by Arisawa Ryuki, who was the same age.

However, it can be said that there is no acquaintance without fighting, and the two have since become good friends who compete with each other.

This year, Kurosaki Ichigo was nine years old.

In elementary school, his grades were still excellent.

Because his father, Kurosaki Ichigo, was busy making money to support the family, the task of picking up and dropping off Kurosaki Ichigo to school fell on his mother, Kurosaki Masaki.

Having said that, the Kurosaki family's life is actually quite difficult.

Although it is true that Kurosaki Isshin opened a small clinic, people with serious illnesses would not come here for treatment, and the business of the small clinic was already average. And now, they have three children in the family, and the three children have brought tremendous pressure in life, forcing Kurosaki Isshin to work even harder.

However, overall, he was willing to work hard to support his family and never complained about anything.

6 month 17 day.

This is a very ordinary day, at least, for most people.

After school, Ichigo Kurosaki found his mother waiting for him at the school gate.

He gathered with his mother, and then headed towards home.

The school is quite a distance away from his home.

This is the reason why Kurosaki Masaki picks Ichigo up and drops him off every day. After all, society is not very peaceful nowadays. Although Ichigo has learned karate, he is still too young.

On the way home.

Kurosaki Masaki's cell phone rang.

She answered the phone and it was her husband.

Chatted with Kurosaki Isshin for a while.

When she came to her senses, she suddenly realized that Ichigo had disappeared.

Because Ichigo at this time did not experience the death of his mother as in the original work, and his personality did not change from his original optimistic and cheerful personality to become withdrawn and gloomy.

In addition, children at this stage are inevitably a little playful because of their young age. Once they become playful, they naturally subconsciously ignore the people around them.

This made Kurosaki Masaki a little panicked.

She immediately looked around for her son's whereabouts.

Fortunately, Ichigo didn't go far.

After crossing a hillside, she saw her son standing by a stream.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the stream, creating ripples on the surface of the river and red clouds floating in the air, which was very beautiful.

Ichigo was standing on the riverbank, talking to a little girl.

If only that was it.

But Kurosaki Masaki is not an ordinary person, she is a Quincy.

She noticed something was wrong with the little girl immediately.

"Ichigo, go away!"

She quickly shouted to her son.

When Kurosaki Ichigo heard his mother's words, he turned back excitedly, but then became confused.

"Ichigo, get away from her!"

Kurosaki Masaki continued to remind his son as he moved closer to Ichigo.

Although he didn't understand what his mother was trying to do, Ichigo finally obeyed his mother's instructions and left the little girl.

Just as he took a step.

An extremely huge hand suddenly stretched out from the small river next to it and wrapped around Ichigo.

"what!"

Ichigo cried out in surprise, and was suddenly lifted into the air.

In mid-air, he looked at the little girl again and found that the little girl's figure quickly disappeared and turned into a tiny puppet. At the other end of the puppet was a long pipe, which was like a fishing line, extending from the top of the monster's head. The little girl before was a simulated bait.

On the hillside, Kurosaki Masaki also saw clearly the appearance of the Hollow that attacked Ichigo. This Hollow was not small in size, except for the pipe extending from its head and the puppet hanging at the end of the pipe, which it used as bait.

He had a white mask on his face with neatly arranged holes on both sides of the nose and a ferocious mouth with white teeth below. His limbs were crawling on the ground, his body was covered with thick green hair, and his eyes were glowing red.

At this moment, he grabbed Ichigo with one of his big claws and was about to put Ichigo into his mouth to eat him.

As soon as Kurosaki Masaki saw the little girl, she noticed that something was wrong with her and reminded her son, but it was too late.

Fortunately, she is not a helpless parent.

She raised her hand.

The Lingzi bow and arrow appeared in his hand.

The spirit particles from all around gathered together and were about to condense into an extremely powerful sacred arrow of destruction, shooting towards the void in front of them.

However, just as the arrow was about to take shape.

Kurosaki Masaki suddenly discovered that his power had disappeared without a trace.

The sacred arrow of destruction is about to dissipate.

This shocked her, but fortunately, she managed to release the Holy Arrow of Destruction in the last moment.

call out!
The sacred arrow of destruction fell on the body of this virtual creature.

However, due to the disappearance of power and the short condensation time, its power did not reach expectations.

puff!
The arrow pierced through Xu's body, but did not "destroy" it. Instead, because of the injury, it became even more enraged.

He threw Ichigo in his hand to the ground aside and looked at Kurosaki Masaki who had hurt him.

"Woman!" "Delicious woman!"

Every Void has its own obsession.

After all, their existence itself is formed by the various desires and obsessions in the process of soul degeneration.

This virtual creature likes to use bait to prey on people with high spiritual concentration, but it likes to eat women even more.

No one knows why there is such a habit.

But compared to Ichigo, it was obvious that Kurosaki Masaki interested him more.

He crawled on the ground on all fours and quickly moved towards Kurosaki Masaki.

Seeing this, Kurosaki Masaki was about to use his flying sickle kick to fight with the hollow, but he found that he had lost all his strength.

This made her even more terrified, and she thought of the fact that she had not been able to condense the Holy Destruction Arrow before.

I even thought of the phone call from my husband earlier.

Her husband called just to tell her a message.

The news came from her brother Ishida Ryugen, that something had happened to Ryugen's wife, Sister Ye Hui.

boom!
At the first encounter, Kurosaki Masaki's body was blown away.

The pain was severe, but at this moment, she had no fear of death. She just wanted to protect her son.

"Ichigo, run away!"

Looking at Ichigo who had finally stood up not far away, Kurosaki Masaki gave a final cry.

"Mother……"

Ichigo was not stupid and realized the seriousness of the situation.

He was very worried about his mother.

But he also knew that he couldn't deal with this monster.

Faced with his mother's cries, he could only shed tears and run away.

After Kurosaki Masaki's shout was heard.

This virtual being came to her side, and pressed down with its huge palm once again, making her unable to move, and was about to devour her completely.

puff!
A flash of knife appeared, and Xu's figure became unable to move immediately.

A huge gap appeared on his body.

Its body split into two halves, and then turned into spirit particles, completely dissipating between heaven and earth.

Kurosaki Masaki had escaped death and was in no mood to care about the pain in her body. At this moment, her mind was full of thoughts about the safety of her child. Then she realized that the Hollow seemed to have been killed.

She looked again at the place where Xu was originally.

Nothing at all.

Until she glanced into the distance out of the corner of her eye.

A figure wearing the captain's haori flashed by.

Although it was just a quick glance, Kurosaki Masaki recognized the other person.

She had met the other person twice.

The first time was when she helped Isshin. At the last moment, two captains of the Gotei 13 came to Isshin's rescue and brought Isshin back to Soul Society.

The second time was when she was about to die due to her virtualization.

It was the same two captains who appeared in the world and saved her.

Later, she learned a lot about the Gotei 13 from Isshin, and learned the identities of the two captains.

The captain of the 11th and 12th divisions of the Gotei 13.

One is the top combat force among the Gotei 13.

One is the smartest person.

As for why these two people wanted to help Yixin save her, she had no idea.

Maybe it's for Yi Xin's sake.

But this did not affect Kurosaki Masaki's gratitude to those two people at all.

After that time, she never saw those two people again in this world.

Unexpectedly, one of them appeared in a flash today and saved me.

Could it be that they have been staring at me?

Kurosaki Masaki thought a lot.

At this moment, Ichigo, who had originally chosen to escape, discovered that the monster had disappeared, and he mustered up the courage to turn back and came to his mother.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Ichigo tried his best to support his mother, but due to his young age, he was unable to lift her up.

Kurosaki Masaki put away the thoughts in her heart and instructed Ichigo, "Take out the phone I have and call your father."

……

Natsuki did not go to reminisce with Ichigo Kurosaki.

He came to another place and looked around.

"You are really haunted!"

"Or was the previous Hollow your work?"

Not far from Xia Mu, a figure appeared, it was Aizen.

He smiled faintly, "You are wrongly accusing me. I only appeared here because I found some abnormalities. However, I didn't expect that you would rescue them."

Xia Mu said calmly: "It is natural for the God of Death to slash the void. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my behavior."

"There is certainly nothing wrong with your behavior, but as the captain of the 11th Division, you appeared in the human world without permission. Natsuki Kenpachi, it seems that you are not a rule-abiding person!" Aizen's eyes were fixed, staring at Natsuki seriously, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough, you have also discovered the peculiarity of that child!"

That child was referring to Ichigo Kurosaki.

After staring at the Jurei Land Karakura Town and accidentally discovering Shiba Isshin and Kurosaki Masaki, Aizen has been observing them. Then when Kurosaki Ichigo was born, his attention fell on Kurosaki Ichigo again. It can be said that whenever he has time, he will pay attention to Kurosaki Ichigo.

I thought I was the only one who discovered the peculiarity of Kurosaki Ichigo.

But the appearance of Natsuki today made Aizen change his mind.

If you think about it carefully, the fact that Shiba Isshin lost his power, and that Kurosaki Masaki, who should have died due to hollowification, is still alive, these things in themselves reveal some weirdness.

"Natsuki, is Urahara Kisuke still here?"

That was all Aizen could think.

Xia Mu ignored Aizen's words, and did not attack Aizen, but told Aizen about another matter, "I wonder if you have discovered it?"

"?" A puzzled look appeared on Aizen's face.

"Not long ago, all the half-blood Quincy in this world died at the same time."

"Kurosaki Masaki, as a pure-blooded Quincy, although she is not dead, she seems to have lost her power. Otherwise, that Hollow would not be able to do anything to her!"

"Soul Society is very concerned about this matter!"

Natsuki said something to Aizen, the traitor of Soul Society.

This also indirectly reveals why he came to the world.

Aizen was a smart man and reacted immediately.

"I see."

There was still no fighting in this meeting.

In other words, the current Aizen always chooses to avoid fighting when facing Natsuki.

He is a man who never fights a battle he is not sure of winning.

Many times, before he is confident enough, he would rather wait for a while and make more preparations.

When everything was almost ready, he decided to do something big, to overturn the order of the world in one fell swoop, and then create a new world on the ruins of the old world.

Watching Aizen leave, Natsuki did not try to keep him.

He continued investigating in the real world for a while.

He quickly returned to Soul Society.

Technology Development Bureau.

Looking at Xia Mu walking out of the gate.

Urahara Kisuke was the first to greet him.

"how's it going?"

"As previously monitored, all the half-blood Quincy in the world have died. The pure-bloods are fine, but their power has also been damaged."

Xia Mu presented the report of his investigation.

As for helping to save Kurosaki Masaki, it was simply a side job.

Not all protagonists have to have both parents orphaned.

In the original work, Ichigo Kurosaki's father is still alive, and he has two younger sisters, so his family is quite happy. So, they can definitely be happier.

Otherwise, he only knew that Ichigo Kurosaki's mother was attacked and killed when he was nine years old, but he didn't know the exact time. It was impossible for him to keep an eye on Ichigo Kurosaki all the time, which would be so tiring.

The reason he went to the real world was simply because when he destroyed the spirit space, he felt the tremendous power and had a premonition that Youhabach might not die so easily.

After saving the hollowed-out Kurosaki Masaki, he had a heart-to-heart with Urahara Kisuke.

Natsuki informed Urahara Kisuke of some of the future insights he had gained, and asked him to keep a close eye on the Quincies in the world.

Like the Hollows, Quincy also have unique spiritual veins.

As long as you are willing to pay attention, it is easy to monitor.

When the spirit veins of the present-day Quincy began to disappear in large numbers, Xia Mu immediately guessed that it was Yhwach who was launching the Holy Separation.

So he rushed to Urahara Kisuke as soon as possible, and then with the help of the Technology Development Bureau's portal, he went to the human world on the pretext of investigation.

Unexpectedly, even though Aizen had already entered the Hueco Mundo, Kurosaki Masaki was still attacked by that Hollow.

Now it seems that this incident has nothing to do with Aizen and is just a simple accident.

But it's quite a coincidence.

It happened to be on this holy day.

This was also because Kurosaki Masaki had previously suffered from Hollowification, causing her own Quincy bloodline to no longer be pure. Although she did not die like the other half-bloods, she lost all her power and was unable to fight against the Hollow.

"It seems that the song circulating among the Quincies is true!"

Natsuki said to Urahara Kisuke again.

Urahara Kisuke also had a solemn expression.

The ballad related to the King of Quincy was previously unknown to Soul Society, but after the destruction of the Reishi Dimension, Soul Society carried out some follow-up work to determine whether all the remaining Quincy members should be wiped out.

Only then did I find out some information about the ballad.
