A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 586 579. The third chance

"Um."

Kuchiki Byakuya nodded slightly, "Let's go... A person whose soul vitals are destroyed will die on his own in less than half an hour. Even if he is lucky enough to survive, he will just be a useless person."

When he said this, he actually wanted to remind those hiding in the dark to pay attention to the time, and also to warn those who were maneuvering in secret not to do unnecessary things.

As he spoke, he motioned to Renji Abarai on the side to open the boundary gate.

"yes."

Renji Abarai responded, then poured his spiritual power into the Zanpakutō, and inserted the Zanpakutō into the void as a key.

Following a wave of spiritual power, two hell butterflies flying between the two realms flew out of the void, and a simple Japanese-style sliding door appeared in front of several people.

The door opened slowly.

Kuchiki Byakuya walked silently towards the direction of the boundary gate, as if he was not worried at all that Rukia would not follow.

"Forehead……"

Kurosaki Ichigo was still struggling on the ground, and he stretched out his hand as if to grab Rukia Kuchiki in front of him.

However, Rukia Kuchiki stopped her.

"Don't move! If you don't believe me, just give it a try... If you dare to catch up... I will never forgive you!"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Kuchiki Rukia's face that couldn't turn around, with an expression that looked uglier than crying when she smiled.

At this moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness spread throughout his body.

It's not because of the loss of spiritual power, but because of the powerlessness in the heart.

Once again he couldn't do anything.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!——”

Watching the world-traveling door slowly closing, Kurosaki Ichigo could do nothing but growl unwillingly.

······

"Okay, let's go clean up the mess."

"Hi hi~"

A helpless response sounded in the night sky.

It started to rain in the sky, and the raindrops made a crisp sound when they fell on the broken Zanpakutō.

The ticking ticking is like counting down the passage of life.

Blood began to spread along the rain.

Kurosaki Ichigo began to feel the belated pain.

It was very painful, his body was very heavy, very cold, and he was gradually losing consciousness. He had never experienced the feeling of death, but he was probably very close now.

"Feel sorry……"

Ishida Uryū sat in the rain in despair.

Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo's appearance at this moment, he felt that he might not be forgiven.

No, it should be that he doesn't want to forgive himself.

Even if Kurosaki Ichigo forgives, he will not forgive himself just now.

I made it clear that I would no longer run away or be afraid.

But he backed down again just now, just like when the teacher died in the battle.

"How cowardly..."

He raised his head and looked up at the overturned night sky.

Facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, he once again watched those around him fight alone while he did nothing on the sidelines.

Although Rukia Kuchiki gave him a reason not to fight, he still felt it was wrong.

Yes, Kurosaki Ichigo's actions do seem stupid, but in his opinion it is the right thing to do. He may die if he fights for his life, but he will never forgive himself for surviving like this.

Ishida Uryu regretted it.

But everything seemed too late.

"Cowardice is not terrible, the terrible thing is to indulge in it all the time."

Suddenly, the rain seemed to have stopped.

After the raindrops on his glasses slipped, Ishida Uryu vaguely saw the faint smile on the face of the person holding the umbrella.

"Who are you……"

"Well~ it doesn't matter who I am."

Urahara Kisuke leaned down to check Kurosaki Ichigo's injuries, but he was complaining in his heart that it was him who was responsible for the aftermath.

That's right, now he has taken the initiative to ask Ying Ying to work under Xuan Hao.

Although the man only said, "You figure it out" in the end, it gave him a headache.

Isn't this no different from before? He was obviously ready to become a humble laborer, but he didn't expect that he had to come up with the plan himself. Such a way of controlling people puts even a profiteer like him to shame.

But what made him feel even more terrifying was the confidence in that man's eyes.

That kind of confidence is like no matter what he does, it seems that he will never escape the control of the other party. He doesn't know where the other party's inexplicable confidence comes from. In short, he just feels a chill down his spine.

"I really envy you little guys..."

After checking Kurosaki Ichigo's injury and confirming that it was nothing serious, Urahara Kisuke sighed and turned to look at Ishida Uryu, "Boy, it's rare to have a chance to come back in life. This is already the second time. Are you ready to continue like this three times?”

"I……"

Ishida Uryu opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted.

"No need to tell me the answer."

Urahara Kisuke put the umbrella into Ishida Uryu's hand and then carried Kurosaki Ichigo's body and disappeared into the rainy night.

"Leave this kid to me. If you feel unwilling and want to make up for your mistakes, don't be so weak next time you see him."

The faint voice echoed in Ishida Uryu's ears.

He froze slightly.

Then fighting spirit ignited in his eyes again.

There are three rare opportunities in life, and this is probably the last time.

Slowly getting up from the rain, he clutched the handle of the umbrella in his hand as if holding the last life-saving straw.

Although he didn't know who the man was just now, he knew one thing very well: Kurosaki Ichigo could still be saved, and he also had one last chance to make amends.

So what he should do now is to go back and train himself immediately and become stronger.

"Next time, it will definitely not be the same as now."

He already remembered that man's terrifying spiritual pressure just now.

According to Kurosaki Ichigo's character, he will never sit still and wait for death after recovering from his injuries. Then it will be his time to contribute, so at least before that, he must increase his power to the same level as that man - no matter what he uses Such method.

······

There was darkness in his vision.

Um? It doesn't seem to hurt anymore?

Kurosaki Ichigo was a little confused.

It's over, am I already dead? Is it because I'm dead that I don't feel pain?

Where is this place?

And... why does it feel so warm? Shouldn't it be cool to die?

So dark.

Oh, it turns out I forgot to open my eyes.

Kurosaki Ichigo opened his eyes in sudden realization.

Then I saw an uncle's face very close to me.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

"Oh, you are very energetic!"

Tessai leaned over Kurosaki Ichigo, using his broad body to warm him.

"You...who are you! Too close! Too close!"

Kurosaki Ichigo was frightened, as if he had forgotten that he was still injured, and roared loudly.

No matter which man wakes up and finds another unknown strong man lying under the quilt, he will be frightened, right?

Kurosaki Ichigo felt his anus tighten inexplicably, as if he had experienced some terrible horror.

"Store manager! Mr. Kurosaki is awake!"

Tessai realized that his behavior seemed a bit rude and slowly got up from the bed.

Kurosaki Ichigo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that this man was wearing clothes.

He remembered that this person seemed to be the subordinate of the clog hat.

In other words, was he saved by the 'Clog Hat'?

Getting up from the bed with some effort, Kurosaki Ichigo looked at everything around him and thought.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Kurosaki, you can't do this."

After hearing Tessai's call, Urahara Kisuke pushed open the door to the room and hurried over, "Your wound hasn't healed yet. If you move any more, you might really die~"

"Clog hat...is this your home?"

Kurosaki Ichigo finally felt relieved when he saw the person coming.

This does not seem to be the world after death. He is really not dead.

"Yes. Isn't my house pretty big?"

Urahara Kisuke waved his fan gently and teased.

"Did...did you save me?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked.

"No, someone asked me to save you."

Urahara Kisuke did not dare to take the credit for himself, "What? Don't you want yourself to be saved?"

"No... of course I don't want to die."

Kurosaki Ichigo clenched his fists.

He still had a lot to do and certainly didn't want to die.

And he could probably guess who the guy in front of him was talking about.

"It's fine if you don't want to die. I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it."

Urahara Kisuke smiled softly after hearing this, "After all, I have experienced such a setback."

"Frustration..."

Kurosaki Ichigo actually already understood the reason why the man chose to stand by and watch.

But he couldn't blame anyone, because this was indeed something he should face on his own.

The man's promise to help him try to resurrect his mother was enough for him to be grateful. He couldn't rely on others for everything, right?

"Yes, frustration."

Urahara Kisuke asked with a smile, "How do you feel? After experiencing this incident, do you understand your own weakness?"

"..."

Kurosaki Ichigo nodded silently.

Although he was a little unwilling, he did realize his powerlessness.

If he can't face his own weakness, then he is too stupid.

"Then work hard and become stronger, starting from now on."

Urahara Kisuke nodded with satisfaction.

This kid is actually not stupid. After all, how can a person who is in the top 50 in his grade have an IQ problem?

This guy is just stubborn sometimes, especially when his relatives and friends are in trouble.

"To tell you the truth, my mission is to help you become stronger. But I think even if I don't tell you, you will ask for help from us, right? After all... there are still people waiting for you to rescue."

"Yeah..." Kurosaki Ichigo nodded slightly and clenched his fists, "There are still people waiting for me..."

He had already decided from the moment he stepped forward to stop the two Shinigami that he would definitely go to Soul Society! Because he is looking for his mother's soul. And now there's one more reason.

"By the way...Rukia was brought back to Soul Society, what kind of punishment will she face?" Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to have thought of something important, and asked hesitantly.

Although he had already guessed in his mind, after all, Rukia was the one who was brought back to Soul Society due to guilt, but he had heard from the hedgehog that it was a felony to pass on power to the God of Death! If it is a serious crime, you may be sentenced to death! But he still wanted to confirm it himself.

"According to my speculation, if nothing else happens, it will be execution." Urahara Kisuke said solemnly.

"What is... execution?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked with a frown.

"You can also understand the punishment of double death as the death penalty."

"What!" Upon hearing that it was the death penalty, Kurosaki Ichigo immediately became excited, "How can I go to Soul Society!?"

"Don't worry...didn't I tell you to become stronger from now on?"

Urahara Kisuke shook his head helplessly. How did this kid's brain circuit develop? Why did he only listen to half of what he was told?

"The prerequisite for saving people is that you must first become stronger. In the ten days from now, you must learn fighting skills from me."

"But...what can you learn in ten days!?"

Kurosaki Ichigo was a little anxious.

You can't blame him for being so anxious.

That's a death sentence! What to do if you run out of time! ?

Although he also wanted to become stronger before going, time waits for no one at all!

"boom."

Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly felt his whole body weightless, and by the time he reacted, he was lying on the ground again.

"These are not questions you should be thinking about."

Urahara Kisuke's face turned a little cold, and he put his cane on Kurosaki Ichigo's head to teach him a lesson.

"Have I made it very clear? Your mission now is to become stronger, and my mission is to help you become stronger. Do you understand what I mean? Don't make it difficult for me..."

"Gulu..."

Kurosaki Ichigo swallowed his saliva and nodded.

The 'clog hat' in front of me is also a secretive guy.

At this moment, he felt that what was pointing at him was not a cane but a sharp blade.

If Kisuke Urahara knew what Kurosaki Ichigo was thinking at this moment, he would definitely tell him with a smile that there is indeed a sword in the cane, his Zanpakutō - Benihime.

"..."

After a while of silence, Kurosaki Ichigo finally calmed down. After calming down, he finally understood the meaning of the other person's words.

All he has to do now is to become stronger, otherwise even if he goes to the Soul Realm to face such a powerful God of Death, he will just die. As for the rest of the things, such as the time issue he is worried about, will there be a way to solve it?

"In Soul Society, there is usually one month of repentance before the execution of the prisoner, which is the so-called probation period. The same is true for Kuchiki Rukia," Urahara Kisuke explained with cold eyes, "Generally speaking, if you are lucky, There may be a chance for a reduced sentence during this period...but I think she is one of the unfortunate ones."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that if no one saves her, she will really die."

Urahara Kisuke leaned over and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo lying on the ground, his eyes seemed to have seen everything through.

"So instead of talking nonsense with me here, why don't you get up and go for special training now. Training here for ten days. During this period, I will start preparing to open the passage to Soul Society. It should be thirteen days after I get there. The time is completely sufficient.”

"I see."

Saying that, Kurosaki Ichigo slowly stood up.

His eyes were firmer than ever.

All he can do now is believe in the plan of the man in front of him, and make himself strong enough to save Lucia in a short period of time.

"Then, please!"

"My special training is very hard, so don't cry." Urahara Kisuke said with a meaningful smile on his face.
