The powerful sound of counting came from the Qilin Hall.
However, the sound ended abruptly with a scream.
"Idiot! Unqualified!"
Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo emerging from the hot spring by kicking his little brother's head after he reached ninety-three, Kirinji Tenshiro lectured him angrily, "Even a child can do this.
Can't you finish all the things you want? Your parents would tell you this when you were a kid, right? You should count to 100 when you take a bath!"
"Are you an idiot? That means only soaking up to the neck, right? How can any parent in this world let their children put their heads in the water and count to a hundred!" Kurosaki Ichigo retorted angrily.
"It's so noisy! Shunan! Shubilu! You have to hold it down properly this time!" As he said this, Kirin Temple Tenshiro ordered to his two subordinates again.
"yes, Sir!"
Two strong men in protective suits ruthlessly grabbed Kurosaki Ichigo's head again and pressed him under the hot spring water.
"Don't hold a grudge against us, young man! We are doing this for your own good!"
"Damn it! Let me go!"
Kurosaki Ichigo struggled to get up from the water and knocked the two back again with two punches.
"Damn it! Boy! Stop it! Your whole body needs treatment!"
"Wait." Seeing that his two subordinates seemed to be increasingly unable to control Kurosaki Ichigo's actions, Kirinji Tenshiro frowned slightly and shouted to stop.
Then he stepped forward and punched out while Ichigo Kurosaki looked at him in confusion.
"boom--"
Water splashed on the hot spring surface, and Kurosaki Ichigo's body flew far away like water under the powerful impact, directly outside the pool.
"Asshole! Do you want to kill me?"
Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head and got up angrily, roaring and questioning.
However, in the face of such questioning, Kirin Temple Tenshiro showed a happy smile: "It's good and energetic. It seems that it has indeed been cured."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly startled.
As if wanting to prove his point of view, Kirinji Tenshiro stepped forward to stand in front of Kurosaki Ichigo again, reached out and stabbed him, ruthlessly tearing off the bandages all over his body.
"Look, your injuries have healed! If they hadn't healed, you would have died from that punch just now."
"Uh...really! No...that's not right! Bastard, you really wanted to kill me just now, didn't you!?" Kurosaki Ichigo looked at his wound that was wrapped in a bandage. At this moment, it had recovered to the point where there was not even a trace of scar.
It reappeared, and the whole person was stunned on the spot.
"Okay, you have nothing to do here. You can go to the next place." Kirinji Tenshiro didn't care about Kurosaki Ichigo's complaints, and grabbed him and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.
"Next?" Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly startled.
"Of course it's another palace!"
"But what about the trials?"
"I told you this is the hot spring bath! Are you done yet?"
"Okay...okay."
Kurosaki Ichigo nodded slightly when he heard this.
It seems that the so-called needing to be acknowledged by the other party is just a pretense. The man in front of me is a rare good person. This is simply selflessly helping him treat his injuries!
"Wait a minute, I'll go too!"
Just when Ichigo Kurosaki was about to leave, a figure emerged from the hot spring again.
It was Renji Abarai who was also covered in bandages.
"Renji, what are you talking about? You haven't..." Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the exaggerated bandaging on Abarai Renji's body. The injuries on this guy's body were obviously much more serious than his, and he definitely couldn't be so fast.
Just recover.
However, Kirin Temple Tenshiro on the side did not seem to think so.
He stepped forward with great dignity and punched Renji Abarai just as he had just tested the results of Kurosaki Ichigo's treatment.
However, after the wave caused by the punch passed, he was completely shocked.
"How!? I wasn't knocked away!"
Renji Abarai grinned and looked provocatively at the man in front of him who punched his abdomen.
"..."
Kirin Temple Tenshiro calmly retracted his trembling arms and turned around silently.
These two guys were more 'energetic' than he thought.
"I know, since you can withstand my fist, then everything should be fine, let's go!"
"Oh! Yeah!"
Renji Abarai clenched his fists happily, tore off the bandages on his body excitedly, and showed off to the stunned Kurosaki Ichigo.
"Shu Nan! Shu Piro! Send them away!"
Soon the two of them got dressed next to the pool and boarded the same ejection platform as when they came here. Kirin Temple Tenshiro ordered to his two subordinates.
"Ready! Take off!!"
The two strong men knocked down the mechanism without hesitation, and they disappeared within the area of the Qilin Hall like meteors.
After seeing the two of them off, Shunan and Shuhiru finally took off their protective clothing as if they were relieved.
The heavy protective clothing soaked by the spring water fell to the ground, and even exploded the moment it touched the ground, and green smoke continued to rise from their exposed muscles in the air.
This is the burden brought about by the so-called ‘bone hell’ hot springs.
"Thank you for your hard work. It's been a long time since you stayed here for so long, right?" Tenshiro of Kirin Temple comforted the two of them.
"Yeah." The playful smile that he had when he faced Kurosaki Ichigo just now was gone from Shunan's face.
Because this job is not funny at all.
"If I hadn't worn the protective clothing and yukata woven with super-spiritual silk, my body would have rotted away due to 'excessive recovery'."
"Yes, to be able to soak naked in Lord Tenshiro's Bone Hell and Blood Pool Hell for so long and still remain unharmed, they are really incredible guys."
"yes."
Even Kirin Temple Tenshiro had to sigh with emotion.
It was precisely because of this that he admitted that Kurosaki Ichigo was indeed not an ordinary person.
Although I already have a high opinion of this guy, I still underestimate him a little.
Of course, his fist was not injured when he attacked Renji Abarai, but when the first blow hit Kurosaki Ichigo, the kid was attacked again and radioactively hit him back, causing him to suffer.
A small injury. Otherwise, with Renji Abarai's level, how could he have blocked his punch.
"Terrible instinct, such a malleable talent. I seem to understand... why both the Spirit King and the Transcendent are so fond of him."
············
"You want to appoint two vice-captains? No!"
Opposing voices sounded in the underground conference hall of Room 46 of the Central Committee.
"Lord Soul King only appointed you as the chief captain and Ise Nanao as the vice-captain! How can there be another one!?"
"No way, I don't have the ability of Old Man Shan to handle the captain's task perfectly. It's natural that I need one more person to help, right?"
Faced with the rebuttal from the Presbyterian Council, Kyoraku Shunsui explained confidently, "Vice Captain Ise is only good at taking care of me. As for the handling of team affairs, the original division was held by the third seat of Ouga, so we can only let them
Only if the two of us follow me for promotion together can we ensure that the first team can operate normally."
"No! Even if this is the case, it is enough for the third seat of Chongya to continue to serve as the third seat. How can you arbitrarily-"
"The appointment and dismissal of the vice-captain rests with the captain of the same team." Kyoryu Shunsui said calmly.
He doesn't want to talk nonsense with these pedantic old men now. Since the other party wants to tell the rules, then he should follow the rules.
"It doesn't mention that the captain can only appoint one vice-captain, right? The person who set this rule is your room 46."
"Um...this..."
"Anyway, that's what happened, so let's move on to more important things, shall we?" Kyoryaku Shunsui continued to suggest without any explanation, his eyes gradually becoming dangerous, "My first job as captain is... to teach more
Mu Kenpachi - Cutting Technique!"
"What!?"
As soon as he said this, the sages and elders in the forty-sixth room of the central center suddenly became excited, "No! We can agree to what we just said, but this is the only thing we absolutely cannot do!"
However, Kyōraku Shunsui seemed not to pay attention to the sages' rebuttal.
He is not as easy to talk to as Old Man Shan.
As long as he brings out facts that these old guys can't refute, the other party will have to agree to his proposal.
"Although Captain Kuchiki and others went to the Soul King Palace, there is no guarantee that they can come back safely. Captain Zaraki's combat power is extremely important to Soul Society at this moment! He cannot be allowed to stay in this weak state."
"No means no!"
There was even a hint of panic in the tone of the sages' words, "If his power goes even further, no one will be able to stop him if he rebels! And this guy himself has no interest in this, right? Have you forgotten that Yuan Liucai wants to
When we taught him the art of beheading, didn’t we let him give up after just one day?”
"Then what are your plans?" Kyoryaku Shunsui raised his head and squinted his eyes slightly, looking around at everyone, "As it is now, Soul Society will definitely not be able to resist the next foreign attack. Everyone, are you prepared to go to the battlefield yourself? What if?
This is really great. The strength of the sages is worthy of our expectations."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, the whole house fell into silence.
The faces of the sages were extremely ugly, but no one dared to continue speaking.
Let them go to the battlefield with these old bones without any fighting ability? Doesn't this mean that they are going to die directly?
"Does it look like it's allowed?"
Seeing that no one continued to refute his proposal, Kyoraku Shunsui smiled and asked lightly.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the door.
"Come in, Captain Zaraki, I'll leave it to you...Captain Unohana. No...'The First Kenpachi', Unohana Eight-Thousand-Ryu."
The gloomy Unohana slowly entered the conference hall.
The expressions on the faces of all the sages became extremely ugly.
Finally, this woman who had been silent for thousands of years was called out by her original name again.
They probably anticipated what would happen next.
The first-generation 'Kenpachi' will devote everything to training the current 'Kenpachi', and a monster truly born for fighting will soon be born.
············
"welcome."
Kurosaki Ichigo and Abarai Renji were successfully launched to another exit hall.
Just when they were wondering who was responsible for leaving the palace, an enthusiastic female voice came.
Subsequently, the two men were violently knocked away by the impact of the incoming flesh bombs.
"We're finally here! Ichigo-chan and Renji-chan! Welcome to my crocodile palace! Don't be polite to me!"
Hikifune Kiryu greeted the two of them cordially.
Ichigo Kurosaki and Renji Abarai got up from the ground in embarrassment, feeling ashamed. They thought it would be better if this woman was not so enthusiastic.
"So...what are we here for?"
"Well, just come with me and you'll know!"
Hikifune Kiryuu led the way with a smile.
Soon, the two came to a place that looked like a canteen.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Make it delicious for me!"
After witnessing Hikifune Kiryu's insanely superb cooking skills, Renji Abarai and Ichigo Kurosaki looked at the mountains of dishes on the dining table in front of them with dull eyes.
"What...what is this?"
"Who knows... I just said that we should be polite. I thought it meant 'I will train you well.' But I didn't expect that it was just a normal meal. Don't be polite? This is too common..."
"Yes, this is Team Zero..."
"Oh my, have you become suspicious because you have been in contact with that guy from Urahara too much? Don't worry about it, this Watou-den is a palace of gourmet food, and my job is to feed you! And then..." Hikifune
Kiryu chuckled, "In the same way, your job is to eat enough here! Eat quickly! You must have been starving for a long time, right? After all, you didn't eat anything just by soaking in the hot springs at Tenshiro's place, and no matter how you recover,
Injuries consume a lot of energy."
"Gulu——"
Sure enough, as if they were right, Kurosaki Ichigo and Abarai Renji's stomachs rang almost at the same time.
"Okay... let's start eating!"
The two looked at each other, probably having the same thought in their minds at the moment, that is, the so-called Zero Division, they all seemed to be good old guys.
After a gust of wind and lingering clouds, the plates in front of the two of them were emptied one after another.
But it seemed that because he was full, Kurosaki Ichigo began to have the energy to think about boring problems again.
He suddenly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and his expression became lonely: "I mean Renji... is it really okay for us to enjoy here like this? Let's not talk about meeting the Soul King for now... we shouldn't think of a solution now.
Repair your Zanpakutō and become stronger, and prepare for the next battle?"
"Are you stupid?" Abarai Renji looked at him as if he was a fool while grabbing his rice, "How can you have the strength to fight if you don't eat enough? And you have the ability to say these things before eating.
ah!"
"Uh... that's right? You guys can actually tell the truth?"
"Damn it, it's so noisy! Don't talk like I'm an idiot! You're obviously the idiot!"
"Hahaha! I feel relieved to see you are so energetic!"
At this time, a female voice that was obviously much brighter than before came.
