Chapter Seventy-Five: The Mask

"Urahara store manager," Ichigo and his party, who had successfully rescued Rukia Kuchigi, had returned to the present world while sitting on Kisuke Urahara's flying carpet, when Ichigo forcibly suppressed the joy of arriving home, turned to Kisuke Urahara, and asked, "Who is that Madara Uchiha, and why are you all so secretive about him?" And what exactly is that Aizen talking about, such as the Heavy Spirit Land, the King Key, and the Spirit King? ”

"You're asking a lot of questions at once, Mr. Kurosaki," Kisuke Urahara said, turning his head and smiling wryly, before slowing down the flying carpet, "though this would have been classified." But I think you, as the victims of this incident, should also have the right to know these things. ”

"It all started a long, long time ago..."

"About four hundred years ago, a peerless genius appeared in the Corpse Soul Realm. The boy who had been extradited to the Corpse Soul Realm for less than a year entered the Mao Spiritual Academy with an unprecedented, near-seventh-rank captain-level terrifying spirit pressure, and then in less than a day, he successfully learned a lot of Death's Divine Reaper Beginnings that he might not succeed in a lifetime, and he was kind and enthusiastic, and was supported by many people. ”

"As you might have guessed, yes, that boy is Madara Uchiha." Kisuke Urahara looked at everyone and continued, "And Madara, as an unborn genius, naturally attracted the attention of the chief captain Motoyanagi Shigekoku. Therefore, after Madara graduated, Captain Yamamoto directly accepted him as his personal disciple. At the time, it was even rumored that Madara had become the heir to the captain of the team, and as long as he succeeded, he would take over as the captain of the team. ”

"What about Miss Yeyi? What is her relationship with that Madara Uchiha? At this time, Orihime remembered the devastated Yaichi who had lost his soul after seeing Madara leave on the Twin Hills, so she couldn't help asking.

"One night at night?" Kisuke Urahara's mind flashed through Yokaichi's determined look when he told him that he had decided to stay in the Corpse Soul Realm to recover Madara, and said with some emotion, "She was Madara's classmate when she was in the Spirit Academy, and of course, she wasn't just a classmate. The two know each other and understand each other in life and study. Yaichi is the future head of the great noble Sifeng Yuan family, and Madara is also destined to become the peak of the Corpse Soul Realm, so they are also a pair who are blessed by the entire Corpse Soul Realm. ”

"However," Kisuke Urahara's words suddenly turned, making the hearts of Ichigo and the others tremble, "More than two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and although Madara has managed to become the captain of Team Eleven during this time, that is, the eleventh Kenpachi, he has not yet succeeded in learning the swastika. ”

Later, Madara lost in a battle to Kenpachi Sagi of the thirteenth generation. Due to some reasons and the pressure of some aristocratic forces, the Corpse Soul Realm finally made up its mind to exile Madara to the Void Circle. ”

"What?" Ichigo and the others were stunned for a moment, and in their hearts they had always thought that Madara had taken the initiative to betray the Corpse Soul Realm due to some ulterior motives like Aizen, who would have thought that it was the Corpse Soul Realm that exiled him first.

"It's inconceivable that as the heir to the supreme power of the Corpse Soul Realm, he was exiled by the Corpse Soul Realm," Kisuke Urahara was silent for a moment before continuing, "Although Yoichi and Madara tried their best to resist, they ultimately failed. Subsequently, the Corpse Soul Realm threw Madara into the Void Circle after restraining Madara's spiritual pressure. Later, a high-ranking nobleman who had a holiday with Madara infiltrated the imaginary circle and plotted against him. ”

Ichigo and the others couldn't have imagined that there was such a twist and turn in this, so they cheered up and listened to Kisuke Urahara continue: "When we arrived in the Void Circle, we only found the body of the nobleman, and Madara was nowhere to be found. However, that nobleman was also extraordinary, and Madara had been bound to most of the spiritual pressure at that time, so we all had a clear understanding in our hearts at that time - it was impossible for Madara Uchiha to survive! Only Yoichi doesn't believe this fact and keeps looking for Madara. ”

"After that, Aizen virtualized several captains and vice-captains at the time in order to create Honyu, and I, Tetsusai, and Yaichi also defected from the Corpse Soul Realm along with those people due to his conspiracy." Kisuke Urahara couldn't help but think of his life in the present world for more than a hundred years, and said with some emotion.

"What? Anyone else who defected from the Corpse Soul Realm? Ichigo keenly caught the message in Kisuke Urahara's words, so he couldn't help but ask in surprise, he knew that Kisuke and the three were defectors when he was in the Corpse Soul Realm, but he didn't know that there were other people who had also defected from the Corpse Soul Realm.

"You must have appeared, 'Blurred', Mr. Kurosaki." Urahara Kisuke didn't answer Ichigo's question and asked instead.

"What? What is 'bokeh'? Ichigo was very confused by Urahara Kisuke's question, and asked back with some confusion.

"'Voiding' means using the power of the void in the body, which can greatly increase the strength. The sign is the appearance of a virtual mask on the face. Kisuke Urahara's voice was very soft, and after glancing at Ichigo, whose face changed slightly, he continued, "You seem to have realized it, that's right, the 'Shenyue Realm' in your mouth is the initial application of 'Void'. And you should have been in a situation where you got out of control. ”

"Well," Ichigo said with a frank nod, "I felt as if I was being controlled by a monster from within me when I was fighting Ichimaru Gin, and I couldn't move at all, I could only watch as that monster controlled me to fight. ”

"Hmm, this is Mr. Kurosaki, the void power in your body is eroding your consciousness," Kisuke Urahara muttered, "I didn't expect the void in your body to increase so quickly." But luckily, I had the idea of training you to do the void, so I've already called someone over. ”

With that, Kisuke Urahara's hand moved slightly, and the flying carpet fell. At this time, Ichigo and his party realized that they had arrived at the door of an abandoned factory.

"Ah, what a rarity, I didn't expect you to remember our existence, Kisuke Urahara." A yellow-haired man with his sister's head and a weird smile on his face suddenly appeared in front of the factory door and said coldly to Kisuke Urahara, who had stepped down from the flying carpet.

"Ahh Kisuke Urahara snorted, then stepped forward.

"We don't seem to have any friendships, Kisuke Urahara." A white-haired man with an inch of hair quietly appeared on the right side of the crowd and said coldly.

"Then please explain your intentions." A blonde man with the artist's characteristic long hair appeared on the other side of the crowd and said lightly.

"Ahh ”

"Wait... Wait..."Ichigo seemed to realize something, so he quickly said, "Manager Urahara, you don't want them to train me, do you?" ”

"Well, that's right." Kisuke Urahara nodded and said, "Not only them, but the elders of Indra will also come to the present world to help." ”

"This..."Ichigo hesitated a little, although he believed that Kisuke Urahara would not cheat himself, but these hostile guys don't look like people who will help train themselves, right?

"Hey, boy, what's that look in your eyes? Don't you believe us! The freckled girl with two braids on the side couldn't help but roar angrily when she saw Ichigo's hesitant eyes. As she spoke, the girl also put her hand on the hilt of the saber beside her, and there was a great intention to strike if she didn't agree.

"In the day, don't make a move." After seeing that Saruki Hishiri wanted to make a move, the leader of this group, Hirako Mako, had to stop him.

Although he usually laughs and laughs with Hirako Mako, once Hirako gets serious, he has a charm that makes people unable to resist. So Hishiri just glared at Heiko fiercely, and then slowly lowered the hand that had already held the hilt.

"So, okay, I've agreed to train this kid." Hirako pondered for a moment, then smiled again.

Then, Hirako turned to Ichigo to the side and said, "Then, it's up to us Kamen Legion to train you for the rest of the time."

"How... How can it be?! Under Ichigo's surprised gaze, Hirako's right hand touched her cheek, and then a mask formed on his face out of thin air...

Mask of Void!
