Captain Yamamoto's order to the 12th Division was "ignore it", because he knew very well what was going on in the sky. However, even so, when he saw the two members of the Zero Division coming to his office, Captain Yamamoto was still a little surprised.

"It's actually you?"

"Yamamoto, long time no see." Kirinji Tenshiro greeted Captain Yamamoto.

Wang Yue from Ermeiwu nearby also made strange gestures and greeted him.

Nimaiya Oyue and Kirinji Tenshiro are both extremely ancient Shinigami, especially the former, whose origin is second only to Hyoshubu Ichibei, after all, he is the creator of Zanpakuto. Although the latter is not that old, as an existence who once taught Unohana Retsu medical skills, he is also a Shinigami of the same period as Captain-General Yamamoto. When Kirinji Tenshiro was still in Soul Society, he naturally had many interactions with Captain-General Yamamoto, and the two had a good relationship, but that was many years ago.

Ever since Squad Zero no longer had any contact with Soul Society, the connection between the two was completely severed.

The most recent event related to Squad Zero was when Hikifune Kiryu was promoted to Squad Zero more than a hundred years ago.

Yamamoto nodded and responded to the two people in front of him.

Then he sighed again, "Vice Captain Shiba had informed me before and said he had contacted you. I didn't expect you to agree so readily and actually go alone for Kurosaki Ichigo."

Wang Yue from Nimeiya smiled at the captain and said, "Hey, you're talking as if our Zero Division is some kind of inhumane division."

"We have always had a good relationship with the Shiba family. We still have to rely on their help when we return to Squad Zero. It's rare for them to ask us for help, so we have to help them out out of courtesy and reason."

"Besides, the request from the Shiba family this time is not a big deal. They just want me to forge a Zanpakutō for someone."

“I am still very confident about knife forging.”

In addition to informing the captain-general about his private contact with Squad Zero, Shiba Kaien also told the captain-general that the purpose of his contact with Squad Zero was to help Kurosaki Ichigo forge a real Zanpakutō.

He relayed the information he had learned from Xia Mu to the captain-in-chief.

After learning the reason, the captain couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Although he knew that something might have happened to Shiba Isshin that forced him to hide in the world under an assumed name, the process behind these things was too tortuous.

As for Shiba Isshin, he married a Quincy and had a child.

Captain-General Yamamoto did not have any dissatisfaction. After all, the Shiba family did not say anything, so it was not his turn to point fingers. Besides, Shiba Isshin and his son Kurosaki Ichigo helped the Soul Society a lot during the Aizen incident. Although the Soul Society gave Kurosaki Ichigo the power of the god of death again, he still hoped that Kurosaki Ichigo could continue to serve the Soul Society if possible.

After learning about the hidden danger in Ichigo Kurosaki's body, Captain Yamamoto naturally agreed that forging a new Zanpakutō could eliminate this hidden danger.

More importantly, he doesn't need to contact Squad Zero.

The only thing that made the captain a little dissatisfied.

These are the things that Xia Mu told Zhiba Kaiyan privately.

Although Xia Mu knew all these things, he was unwilling to tell him, the captain, and had to tell him through Shiba Kaiyan.

But when I think about Xia Mu’s current strength and the many secrets hidden in him.

Captain Yamamoto ultimately chose not to call Natsuki to his presence for accountability.

Although it is true that he is the captain-general of the Gotei 13, Natsuki is also a captain, and the most special one among them, Kenpachi.

Among the many captains, Kenpachi himself is very special.

Outside of combat duties, they have a great deal of autonomy and can even skip attending captain meetings if they wish.

In the original work, Kenpachi Kiganjo repeatedly missed the captain's meetings. Even though many captains were dissatisfied with him, they were unable to remove him from his position. They could only wait until a new strong man defeated him before they could replace Kenpachi.

Just as Captain Yamamoto was thinking and sighing inwardly, Kirinji Tenshiro beside him spoke up and talked about another matter, "In addition to Kurosaki Ichigo, this time, we need to bring someone else to the Soul King Palace."

Captain-General Yamamoto raised his eyebrows. He noticed that Kirinji Tenshiro was not talking about "Zero Squad" but "Soul King Palace". Although Zero Squad and Soul King Palace were in the same space, there were actually some differences between the two.

The former refers to the place where these members of Squad Zero live.

The latter is where the Spirit King is.

"Who?"

Captain Yamamoto's tone became a little more serious as he asked Kirinji Tenshiro.

"Captain of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, Natsuki!"

Kirinji Tianshilang said a name and explained it.

"This is the will of the Spirit King!"

……

After Shiba Kaien sent a message to the human world, Ichigo quickly arrived in Soul Society.

Unlike many people in Soul Society who knew about Ichigo’s hidden dangers.

Ichigo himself still doesn't know anything.

So when he came to Soul Society and learned the reason from Shiba Kaien, he was stunned.

What and what?

The sword I have now is not a real Zanpakuto?

So, you guys are going to help me reforge a knife?

Looking at the Zanpakutō in his hand, Ichigo felt complicated.

Even though the sword Zangetsu was not a real Zanpakutō, it had accompanied him for a long time. Uncle Zangetsu in particular often came forward when he was in danger, giving him some teachings and encouragement, thus strengthening his faith.

Of course, after performing the final Crescent Moon Sky Strike, even though he regained the power of the god of death, Uncle Zangetsu seemed to have disappeared.

His inner world became empty.

Even if he can use Bankai.

Because she was afraid that Ichigo would not be able to accept some things for the time being, Shiba Kaien only told Ichigo that there was something wrong with his sword, but did not tell him about his life experience.

It took a long time to digest the information that Shiba Kaiyan said. Ichigo said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know what you mean, I am still willing to go with those people."

He felt kindness from Shiba Kaiyan's words, and it was reasonable for him to go there first.

"In that case, then come with me!"

Shiba Kaiyan didn't say any unnecessary nonsense.

Instead, he took Ichigo straight to Rukongai.

Soon, they arrived in front of a magnificent mansion. Compared with the houses of the common people in Rukongai, this one covered a large area.

"here it is?"

Ichigo looked at the mansion, confused.

"This is the Shiba family." Shiba Kaiyan explained to Ichigo with a smile, "You have only been to the house in the Seireitei, and this is your first time here. This is the ancestral home of the Shiba family. If you have time in the future, you can come here often."

Ichigo nodded, he was still very close to Shiba Kaien.

Especially knowing the relationship between his father and the Shiba family, the Shiba Kaiyan in front of him is his cousin and his relative. In fact, sometimes, Ichigo also feels a little emotional about the fact that he has so many relatives in the Soul Society.

Follow Shiba Kaiyan into the Shiba family.

Ichigo first went to see his uncle, and then met his two relatives, Shiba Kūkaku and Shiba Ganju, and said hello. After the greetings, he came to another place under the leadership of Shiba Kaien.

"This is the workshop where the Shiba family makes fireworks."

"The Shiba family possesses a unique technology for making fireworks, but this technology is only a derivative of the Shiba family's true secret technique."

Although Ichigo does not have the last name Shiba, he is also a descendant of the Shiba family. Shiba Kaien feels it necessary to let Ichigo know many secrets of the Shiba family. He talked a lot and told Ichigo a lot.

Ichigo then realized that the Shiba family's secret technique was the cannon release technique.

Through the special spirit particle cannon, their cannon is extremely powerful and can break through many special barriers.

For example, the soul-blocking membrane covering the sky above Seireitei can be broken through with the help of their cannons.

And this time, the place they are going to will also require this technology.

After a lot of introductions, Shiba Kaien took Ichigo to the place where the Shiba Cannon stood.

Here he met three people.

Let’s not mention the two people I don’t know for now.

Ichigo was surprised after seeing the man he knew.

"teacher?"

Xia Mu had a complicated expression. After hearing what Ichigo said, he turned his head to look at Ichigo and explained to him, "For some reasons, I will go with you on this journey."

When he said this, Natsuki thought of what Captain-General Yamamoto found him and what he learned when he went to the First Squad's executive office and met two members of the Zero Squad.

He asked Shiba Kaien to contact Team Zero with the original intention of allowing Ichigo to master the true power in advance, understand his own origin, and then have some time to settle down and further enhance his own strength. However, he did not expect that when the members of Team Zero came to Soul Society, in addition to Ichigo, they also specifically asked him to go as well.

As for the reason, it is extremely mysterious.

The will of the Spirit King!
If it was the original Xia Mu, he would definitely sneer at it.

But after the incident in Hueco Mundo, having personally experienced the existence of that will, Natsuki no longer dared to treat the Soul King as a mascot or a mere human stick.

The Spirit King is not as simple as it seems.

After learning that the Spirit King had conveyed his wish to see him, Xia Mu originally intended to refuse.

But after thinking about it, I finally gave up.

Although the Spirit King was turned into a human stick by the ancestors of the five great nobles, he still has a lofty status in this world, and it is not so easy for him to refuse.

In that case, let’s go to the Spirit King Palace.

It just so happened that he had never been to the Palace of the Spirit King.

Ichigo didn't know the reason, he just thought it would be nice to go to Team Zero with his teacher. After all, he was not familiar with the so-called Team Zero, and didn't know much about the Soul King Palace. It would be great if he could have an acquaintance.

Kirinji Tenshiro and Nimaiya Ouyue also greeted Ichigo and exchanged pleasantries.

They had been talking to Natsuki for a while before Ichigo arrived.

Among them, Kirinji Tenshiro had met Natsuki once in the past, and they even talked about Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, so he was not a stranger.

"Okay, that's enough of the unnecessary talk. It's time to get going."

Nimaiya Wang Yue took the initiative to interrupt the topic and spoke to Natsuki and Ichigo.

Led by two members of Squad Zero, they came to an extremely thick pillar.

“Is this the Tianzhu Chariot?”

Xia Mu looked at the pillar and asked softly.

Kirinji Tenshiro stood beside Xia Mu and glanced at Xia Mu, "You know a lot about our Zero Squad."

Xia Mu did not elaborate, but asked Kirinji Tenshiro, "When you came to Soul Society, you did not land at the Shiba family. I am curious, how did you move such a huge thing here."

Qilin Temple Tian Shilang said: "Although this thing looks huge, it contains the power of space. It can be shrunk and stored with the help of special means."

"I see."

Xia Mu nodded, but did not try to figure out the mystery.

Kisuke Urahara was able to create space props and hide some large objects inside them, so it was not surprising that the special vehicles of Squad Zero could be of any size desired.

After all, the Tianzhu Chariot is a special tool used to travel back and forth between Squad Zero.

On the way to the Palace of the Spirit King, one needs to break through many obstacles. In addition to relying on the power of the King's Key as a key, the vehicle is naturally not an ordinary thing.

On the other side, Nimaiya Wang Yue also chatted a lot with Ichigo.

Finally, two members of Squad Zero stepped forward, lifted the cover of the Tianzhu Chariot, revealing a door.

"Let's go in."

Kirinji Tianshilang said to Xia Mu and the others.

Natsuki stepped inside, and Ichigo saw this and walked in without hesitation.

After entering, I found that the space inside was much larger than I had imagined.

Although this object looks like a pillar, the space inside is as big as a house.

No wonder it can be moved at will by the members of Squad Zero, this object indeed contains the power of space.

This further explains why in the original work so many members of Squad Zero could squeeze in there, and even after bringing Ichigo and the others to the Soul King Palace and adding one more person, it didn't seem crowded at all.

After everyone entered the Tianzhu Chariot.

Shiba Kaiyan's expression also became serious.

He walked to the side of the Tianzhu Chariot and operated it a few times, and saw that the Tianzhu Chariot began to shrink.

He then picked up the Tenju chariot and loaded it into the Shiba family's cannon.

As the cannon was fired, the Tianzhu Chariot was ejected into the sky in an instant at an incredible speed.

It wasn't long before it came into contact with the first barrier.

The collision of space was about to produce a roar. At this moment, the members of the Zero Squad in the Tianzhu Chariot used their own King Key power. A magnificent force was added to the Tianzhu Chariot. The Tianzhu Chariot immediately merged into the barrier and continued to climb upwards. (End of this chapter)
