Chapter 165 spoilers for Ichigo.

"My name is Yoruichi!"

"My name is Urazono Kijuru!"

"I'm the store owner!"

"I'm his father!"

Seeing that Pu Yuan Xizhu was about to lose his temper, Zhang Shan said calmly: "Now that I know your names, tell me what you are going to do?"

"I don't know!"*2!

Zhang Shan's face turned dark, and he looked at the two bright smiling faces in front of him and punched them twice without hesitation!

Bang bang!

A second later, two people with dark circles under their eyes cried, "We really didn't know! It felt like we were all here to cause trouble in Seireitei, so we thought about banding together~"

To be honest, generally speaking, no one would believe this reason. Even Lilinette noticed that something was wrong and looked at the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze.

Urazono Kijurashi and Shihouin Yoruichi blinked frantically, looking very well behaved.

Zhang Shan looked into the distance and saw Kurosaki Ichigo practicing Bankai, and apart from that, there was nothing else.

Oh, there is also a hot spring, emitting a wisp of steam.

With the idea of ​​making the best of one's situation, Zhang Shan decided to go and see Ichigo Kurosaki's training.

As for why Urazono Kijuru wanted to keep the two of them, he didn't care.

Clang clang!
The sound of metal clashing was heard. In Zhang Shan's eyes, Ichigo Kurosaki was fighting with a strange puppet. The puppet had a strange big sword in his hand, and he chopped the sword in Ichigo Kurosaki's hand into pieces with one blow.

The trend continued unabated, and it looked like he was about to cut Ichigo in half with one strike.

Ichigo rolled over to avoid the knife, picked up a knife at random, and fought with the puppet again.

Watching Ichigo's fight, Zhang Shan sighed and said, "Poor kid, he was fooled by these people."

The God of Death usually practices sword meditation, and communicates with his Zanpakutō in his own spiritual world, cultivating feelings with his Zanpakutō little by little and improving his strength.

As for Ichigo's current situation, it's purely helping the issue!

No matter whether it is Shikai or Bankai, as long as Ichigo's Zanpakutō does not tell Ichigo his name, the only thing waiting for Ichigo is Kai Musou.

"Hmm? It seems like a good idea then?"

This thought flashed through Zhang Shan's mind and he quickly shook it out of his mind.

When Ichigo was exhausted and fell to the ground to rest, Zhang Shan and the others had prepared dinner and came to Ichigo with a bowl of fried noodles. While Urazono Kijurashi and Yoruichi were immersed in the food, they whispered to Ichigo: "Boy, do you want to become stronger?"

Ichigo was stunned for a moment, then nodded without hesitation: "Do you have any solution?"

"Of course!" Zhang Shan said, "I know the true name of your Zanpakuto, and I can help you gain power beyond everything in a short period of time, but there is a prerequisite!"

Ichigo's eyes immediately lit up, and he said without hesitation: "Just tell me, as long as it's something I can help with!"

Zhang Shan put his ear close to Ichigo's and said, "Your Zanpakutō's Bankai is called Tensa Zangetsu, but if you want to unleash your true power, you must communicate with your Zanpakutō frequently and find the real Zangetsu between the two of them!"

"They... two?" Ichigo was a little confused. He hadn't actually met Kyobaku yet, so he naturally couldn't understand what Zhang Shan meant.

"It's hard for me to explain more. Anyway, the guy you see now has been suppressing your strength. If you want to gain your true power, you have to convince him to let go of his suppression."

After saying this, with Ichigo's expression almost cracked, Zhang Shan returned to Yoruichi and the others.

"What did you say to that kid?" Ye Yi asked curiously.

Lilinette pricked up her ears as well.

"Just tell him the real name of his Zanpakuto." Zhang Shan said with a nonchalant smile.

"Um...huh?"

Just as Yoruichi and Urazane Kijura were about to ask more questions, a captain-level spiritual pressure suddenly erupted behind them, along with the voice of Kurosaki Ichigo.

"Swastika! Heavenly Lock Zhanyue!"

Ichigo Kurosaki, dressed in black and holding a long sword, appeared in front of everyone.

Yoruichi and the others looked at Ichigo behind them in shock. They didn't expect that this kid had learned Bankai so quickly!
At this point, Ichigo was even more shocked than them.

He just tried it and didn't think about success at all, because if Zhang Shan was telling the truth, then the Uncle Zhan Yue whom he had been believing in all this time was undoubtedly a big liar!
But it was too late to say anything now. Relying on the name he got from Zhang Shan, he successfully achieved Bankai, so he had nothing to doubt.

Yoruichi and the other ran over to Ichigo, genuinely happy for her.

But Urazono Kijura keenly noticed that Ichigo was in a bad mood, so he held his small fan in front of his mouth and said lightly: "It seems that Mr. Kurosaki needs to deal with his own affairs first, so we won't disturb you for now."

After saying that, he pulled Ye Yi away and continued to eat happily.

Zhang Shan and Lilinette never stopped eating. Ichigo's current spiritual pressure was less than one-tenth of Lilinette's. The girl didn't take the kid seriously at all.

At this time, Ichigo sat cross-legged and his consciousness came to the spiritual world.

The sun was shining brightly, and on top of a tall building, Ichigo looked at Uncle Zangetsu in front of him and for a moment he found it difficult to speak.

The two looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Uncle Zhan Yue sighed and said, "He is right. I have been suppressing your power all along. As long as I release the suppression, you will get your true power."

"Why?!" Ichigo was puzzled: "You saved me when I was in the most critical moment, why did you suppress my power?"

Uncle Zangetsu shook his head: "No, Ichigo, think carefully, every time you are in danger, who saved you!"

The next moment, Uncle Zangetsu disappeared, and Ichigo was the only one left in the entire city.

Who saved you?
The words echoed in Ichigo's mind.

He remembered that when he was fighting with Kenpachi before, once he started fighting, Uncle Zangetsu would suddenly disappear, and then his power would skyrocket.

"No, no, no!" Ichigo shook his head frantically, unwilling to believe this outrageous truth.

"Uncle Zangetsu must be helping me fight, so he has no time to talk to me!"

Just when Ichigo was deceiving himself, a figure appeared behind him without him noticing.

He looks exactly like Ichigo, and also has the appearance of Ichigo's Bankai, but his entire body is white, which is the exact opposite of Ichigo.

"Yo, Wangyo, you look very confused."

The sudden voice made Ichigo Kurosaki tremble all over. He turned around, and his pupils dilated instantly!

"Who are you?"

Xu Bai smiled and said, "I am Tiansuo Zangyue, or you can call me Zangyue, it doesn't matter."

"Wang Yo, what are you confused about?"

"Confused?" Ichigo was silent. Uncle Zangetsu had such a huge impact on him that Ichigo couldn't react for a moment as to why this white guy who looked like him appeared in his spiritual world.

At this moment, Bai Ichigo spoke again, laughing wildly: "Don't be confused, forget your fear, look ahead, and move forward. Don't stop. Retreating will only make you old, and being cowardly will bring you death! Fight! Leave everything to your instincts!"

Bai Ichigo's voice echoed in the space, and Ichigo instantly thought of the scene when he first met Uncle Zangetsu.

Uncle Zangetsu said the same thing to himself at that time, but he didn't have the last sentence instinctively.

"you!"

Just when Ichigo was about to ask, he found that White Ichigo was rushing towards him with a grim smile on his face.

"Don't ask. I won't explain. Just feel it with your sword!"

Clang~~!

As the blades clashed, Ichigo instantly felt a surge of emotions flooding into his soul!
