The genius of Naruto is a bit ordinary.

"Ulquiorra!"

After seeing Ulquiorra being swept into the fire tornado, Ichigo Kurosaki shouted loudly and his body flashed forward.

However, the next moment, Byakuya Kuchiki blocked Ichigo Kurosaki's way.

"Get out of my way! You don't save your own sister, but you want to stop me from saving my companions?!" Kurosaki Ichigo was extremely angry at this moment. He was not so angry even when the other party had cut several cuts on his body before.

Byakuya Kuchiki did not say anything. After looking at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni over there, the endless blades around him swept towards Kurosaki Ichigo.

Ichigo Kurosaki glared at Byakuya Kuchiki. After he completed his Bankai, those cherry blossom-like blades could no longer keep up with his speed.

The next moment, Ichigo Kurosaki came in front of Byakuya Kuchiki and chopped him down with the black knife in his hand.

However, Kuchiki Byakuya had no intention of taking the attack head-on and dodged with a flash step.

The two of them kept flashing in various places.

Finally, after a long while, this endless chase stopped.

"Is all you can do is run away?!" Ichigo Kurosaki glanced at the fire tornado that was still burning over there. He was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Kuchiki Byakuya was silent for a moment, and then the cherry blossom blades returned to his hands, forming a complete Zanpakuto.

Then, Kuchiki Byakuya let go of his hand again, and the spiritual pressure on his body exploded.

"Destroy Kage Senbon Sakura Kage Yan!"

In just a moment, endless cherry blossom blades instantly enveloped the two of them, and finally formed a black space.

In this space, some of the Sakura blades turned into complete Zanpakuto, flashing cherry red light and arranged in the air, constantly rotating.

"It should have been done long ago!" Kurosaki Ichigo said loudly, and immediately rushed towards Kuchiki Byakuya.

"Reckless." Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes narrowed, and several of the surrounding blades shot directly at Kurosaki Ichigo without any blind spots. However, Kurosaki Ichigo did not take this powerful attack seriously.

After knocking down all the blades with the Zanpakutō in Ichigo Kurosaki's hand, he continued to rush towards Byakuya Kuchiki.

Byakuya Kuchiki looked at Ichigo Kurosaki and was amazed at his strength, but...

One thing he could clearly feel was that the opponent's speed was decreasing.

Then, another Zanpakuto fell from the rotating blade and landed in the hands of Byakuya Kuchiki.

This time, instead of continuing to attack with the blade as before, Byakuya Kuchiki grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and attacked Kurosaki Ichigo head-on.

"boom!"

The two blades collided very quickly, but Ichigo Kurosaki, who had changed his ways, was still no match for Byakuya Kuchiki, and he once again suffered several more wounds on his body.

"Your speed has slowed down. You can feel it, right? Now it's already your limit. You have done very well. You were hit by the blade of Senbonzakura, but you can hold on until now." Kuchiki Byakuya walked towards Kurosaki Ichigo holding the Senbonzakura.

"Ahem." Kurosaki Ichigo coughed and said, "You are so powerful, but you watched your sister die. You don't deserve to be called a brother."

Kuchiki Byakuya was silent for a while, then said, "Don't try to sway my mind with words."

"Haha, you are really... stubborn!" Ichigo Kurosaki panted and sneered.

"It's time to end, Kurosaki Ichigo." At this moment, Byakuya Kuchiki had already walked in front of Kurosaki Ichigo, raised the sword in his hand, and swung it down.

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Byakuya Kuchiki in front of him with his eyes wide open, but even so, the other person's figure seemed so blurry that his eyes were even trembling and he couldn't help but close them.

“No, you can’t fall down yet, Rukia is not safe yet, and Ulquiorra is still in that flame!

We must continue to fight. After all, to win, we must rescue them!"

Ichigo Kurosaki kept growling in his heart, but it seemed that he could not change the fact that he had reached his limit.

But the next moment, a voice seemed to appear in his ears.

"I told you before, if you died, I would be very troubled."

Then, Ichigo Kurosaki raised his hand, and just when Byakuya Kuchiki thought that the other party was trying to stop a chariot with his bare hands, the other party directly grabbed the blade of Senbonzakura, and the force prevented him from continuing to bring down the blade.

On the left side of Ichigo Kurosaki's face, there seemed to be white bones constantly condensing.

"How is this possible?! Who are you?" Kuchiki Byakuya looked at the scene in disbelief. His slashing attack was blocked by just one hand?

"Who?" Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly laughed, and his laughter seemed full of disdain.

"I don't have a name or anything like that!"

After saying that, Kurosaki Ichigo raised his head, revealing his face which was half covered by a mask, and his eyes whose whites had turned completely black.

The next moment, Kurosaki Ichigo swung his sword and slashed at Byakuya Kuchiki, whose weapon was locked.

Suddenly, blood splattered everywhere.

Byakuya Kuchiki also quickly retreated and distanced himself, looking at Ichigo Kurosaki's mask and the touch of his spiritual pressure...

However, Kurosaki Ichigo did not give Byakuya Kuchiki a chance to rest. After saying a few words as if he was talking to himself, he rushed towards Byakuya Kuchiki.

The dark spiritual pressure and the speed that increased again made Kuchiki Byakuya's pupils shrink.

At this moment, all that could be heard in Byakuya Kuchiki's ears was the constant laughter of Ichigo Kurosaki.

"You, are you also a Hollow?!" Kuchiki Byakuya thought of Ulquiorra from before, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily. They were indeed birds of a feather.

"Huh, who knows?"

Just after Kurosaki Ichigo answered this, he seemed to show a very painful expression, and even his free hand had pulled on the half of the mask.

Then, in front of Byakuya Kuchiki's shocked gaze, Ichigo Kurosaki shouted.

"You bastard, get back here!" The next moment, amid the screams of the arrogant voice, Ichigo Kurosaki completely took off the half mask, revealing his original voice.

Byakuya Kuchiki watched this scene with his eyes wide open, totally not understanding what was happening.

"Sorry, there's a troublemaker who broke in." Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head and said, "Let's continue."

After being silent for a while, Byakuya Kuchiki looked at Ichigo Kurosaki. He could easily defeat him with that posture, but why was he unwilling to use it?

He didn't understand Ichigo Kurosaki's thoughts. Perhaps he didn't want to defeat him with Xiang Yong's attitude?

However, at this moment, he has already been defeated once. "Well, let's not talk about what happened just now. We don't have much strength to swing the sword anymore. Let this next move be the final move to decide the outcome. If you win, you can get out of this space and save your companions." Kuchiki Byakuya said.

"Okay, so you lost?" Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly asked, "Can you tell me why you didn't save Rukia?"

After a moment of silence, Byakuya Kuchiki said, "Okay."

Then, powerful spiritual pressure erupted from both of them at the same time, covering the whole sky and earth.

At this moment, Byakuya Kuchiki concentrated all the cherry-red blades lined up around him on himself, forming a pair of dazzling white wings like an angel's. Behind him, there seemed to be a white ring in the style of the legendary angel ring.

"Final scene: Baidi Sword!"

"You're so awesome! I don't have any moves like yours. The only move Zangetsu taught me is Getsuga Tensho." Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Byakuya Kuchiki and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then, he held the hilt of the sword with one hand and pressed the other hand on the arm holding the hilt, concentrating all his spiritual pressure on the blade of the black Zanpakuto.

The next moment, the two rushed towards each other.

"Crescent Moon Clashes!!"

As the two blades collided, a huge wave spread out directly in all directions from the place where they fought, and even broke through Kuchiki Byakuya's Senbonzakura space.

At this moment, the attacks between the two formed a black and a white spiritual pressure impact.

At this moment, the two spiritual pressures of different colors seemed to be thinking about invading each other's territory!

"Oh my, this is amazing." Kyoraku Shunsui exclaimed in amazement as he watched this scene.

"Byakuya is going to lose." Ukitake Jushiro said in shock as he looked at the shrinking white spiritual pressure.

When everything was over, the figures of Ichigo Kurosaki and Byakuya Kuchiki were revealed. Ichigo Kurosaki was using his black sword as a crutch to support his body, and the situation seemed very bad.

On the other side, Byakuya Kuchiki was still standing there, and it seemed that his situation was much better than that of Ichigo Kurosaki.

But this was just an appearance. Byakuya Kuchiki could clearly feel his physical strength being drained away, so he spoke while he still had some strength left.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, don't you want to know? The reason why I want to kill Rukia."

"Sorry, I don't have time to listen to your reasons right now. Let's talk about it later. I have to go save Ulquiorra now." Ichigo Kurosaki walked over there with a trembling body. His body had reached its limit, but he still refused to fall down.

"It's useless. You can't save him from the captain-general. His power is beyond your imagination." Byakuya Kuchiki also noticed Ichigo Kurosaki's situation and couldn't help but say.

"Haha, this sentence sounds a bit familiar. Didn't you say the same thing before I defeated you?" Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly said.

Suddenly, Byakuya Kuchiki fell silent, stopped talking, stepped aside and stopped trying to stop Ichigo Kurosaki.

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at the still burning fire tornado at this time, and worry appeared in his eyes. He limped over there.

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro couldn't help but shake their heads as they watched this scene.

Kyoraku Shunsui looked at the blazing fire tornado and said, "You really are worthy of being an old man. You are so old, but you are still so strong."

"Well, in such a fire, it should be impossible for that Hollow to survive, right?" Ukitake Jushiro said with a bit of regret. Perhaps he was not feeling sorry for Ulquiorra, but for Kurosaki Ichigo's futile efforts.

"Tsk, what a headache." Kyoraku Shunsui sighed.

After this, I have to think about how to deal with the issue of their 'betrayal'.

At this time, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was also looking at Ichigo Kurosaki, who was still walking towards this side with blood constantly flowing from his body, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

But no matter how much we appreciate it, the enemy is still the enemy.

However, if Kurosaki Ichigo is not a Hollow, he can be spared and captured for trial by the Central 46th Chamber.

At this moment, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni raised his sword.

"Hey, your opponent is me."

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly resounded between heaven and earth, causing everyone's eyes to suddenly widen and look towards the fire tornado.

The same was true for Ichigo Kurosaki, who looked over there in surprise.

At this moment, a pair of black bat-like claws suddenly stretched out from the center of the fire tornado, and then this pair of claws seemed to grab the fire tornado and then exert force.

In an instant, the fire tornado was torn apart by the claw and dissipated into the sky and earth.

"It's amazing that we can make it this far!" Kyoraku Shunsui exclaimed.

Then, everyone looked at the figure in the sky.

Before, the other party was wearing a black jumpsuit, but now, he changed into black, with black liquid flowing from his eyes, and the lower part of the tear marks were divided into two lines. The whites of his eyes turned green, and his pupils turned golden.

A pair of huge black wings grew larger again, revealing bat-like claws, and the original half helmet turned into a pair of devil-like long horns.

This is Ulquiorra's new look.

Originally, Ulquiorra was in the fire tornado, being burned by the scorching flames, and thought that he would die here.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's power was simply too strong. Even the flame produced by the Shikai was extremely hot, constantly burning Ulquiorra's body and spiritual pressure.

When his spiritual power is completely burned out, that will be the moment of his death.

But suddenly, Ulquiorra seemed to hear a voice.

"Ulquiorra!"

That...it seemed like it was Ichigo Kurosaki calling his name, and his voice seemed full of worry.

Ulquiorra might understand why the other party was worried about him, but he didn't understand... why the other party's voice could pass through this tornado of fire and reach his ears.

Although he didn't understand why, Ulquiorra took a deep breath and a determination appeared in his eyes.

Now is not the time to give up.

At this moment, Ulquiorra recalled the past scenes in his mind and found that the only thing worth remembering was his life in Hueco Mundo after he met Stark.

And the confusion after coming to the real world, the sudden power of Chad Yasutora and Inoue Orihime, and the explosion of Ishida Uryu's sacrificial potential...

If they can do it, then why can't I?
"I... can do that, too!"

Then, as if sensing something, at this moment, Ulquiorra's spiritual pressure suddenly surged. (End of this chapter)
