Chapter 431: Night City: So I'm the mastermind behind the scenes!
"Is that an Asauchi of a Zanpakuto? Why is it so huge!"
Night City and Koetsu, standing beside him, were dumbfounded as they witnessed Ichigo Kurosaki, exuding an astonishing spiritual pressure while carrying a miniature 'Pig Slaughter' on his shoulder.
As a master of Kido in the Soul Society, Koetsu had seen Asauchi before, and she understood that the boy had obtained Shinigami powers through Rukia's Zanpakuto.
However, the exaggerated size of the Asauchi left Koetsu stunned. She didn't even know that Asauchi came in different styles.
"The Asauchi of the Soul Society's Shinigami is also known as the Nameless Zanpakuto. In fact, they are all crafted by the 'Sword God,' the captain of the Zero Division's Fifth Squad, Nigihayami Kyouraku."
But the boy's Asauchi was different; it could be understood as a Zanpakuto unique to him.
Since it was a Zanpakuto formed from his own spiritual pressure, the stronger his pressure, the larger the blade of the Asauchi. This indirectly indicated that the boy's spiritual pressure was exceptionally powerful.
Night City was aware of the reason behind Ichigo's unusual Asauchi.
The Asauchi of Shinigami were formed from similar substances, accumulated from the souls of numerous Shinigami.
Ichigo's source of Hollow power was White, created by Aizen, and it was the manifestation of his Zanpakuto. White, as a medium, accidentally became Ichigo's 'Asauchi.'
The Asauchi of the Shinigami in the Gotei 13 were distributed after their graduation from the Sokyoku Academy, so there was a fundamental difference between the two.
If one had to put it bluntly, this was the so-called unique protagonist's aura.
Ichigo Kurosaki, having obtained 'Shinigami powers,' effortlessly killed the Hollow with just a single finger and rescued his sister and Rukia.
Rukia, whose Shinigami powers had been drained dry by Ichikigu, couldn't return to the Soul Society at that moment due to her unrecovered strength. She could only temporarily remain in the Human World.
By granting 'Shinigami powers' to a human, Rukia had already violated the laws of the Gotei 13, which made her extremely worried.
Moreover, she hadn't expected that the boy named Ichigo Kurosaki would have such an absurd spiritual pressure talent. When he became a Shinigami, he completely drained the Shinigami powers from her!
After killing the Hollow and sending his unconscious sister back to her room, Ichigo returned to his own room with Rukia, where he learned the truth about this world through Rukia's explanations.
Meanwhile, Night City and Koetsu encountered a man wearing a doctor's white coat, with messy black hair and a beard, at a corner.
"Captain Shiba, it's been over a decade since we last met, and you seem to have aged quite a bit.
It appears that being a househusband and raising three children is quite stressful."
Compared to Night City, who still had the presence of mind to joke, Koetsu, standing beside him, was completely stunned when she saw Isshin Kurosaki. She exclaimed in disbelief, "Uncle Isshin, how are you here!"
Isshin Kurosaki, looking at Night City and Koetsu, forced a smile at his niece and said, "Didn't your brother and this guy, Night City, tell you that I've already settled down and married in the Human World?"
Upon hearing Isshin's words, Koetsu's eyes widened, and her head shook like a rattle. She clearly hadn't expected that her uncle, who was like a wandering soul, would also have a day of settling down and starting a family, and in the Human World, no less!
"So, as I said earlier, today's protagonist is also your brother.
You saw him too, the boy carrying the Pig Slaughter just now. He's Shiba... no, he's Isshin Kurosaki's son, Ichigo Kurosaki."
According to the relationship, he should be your cousin, right?"
While Chiharu was still in shock from the astonishing information, Kurozaki Isshin, standing beside her, looked at Yecheng seriously and asked, "Was tonight's incident arranged by you?"
To be honest, Kurozaki Isshin was reluctant to believe that tonight's events were orchestrated by Yecheng.
After all, the other party was a benefactor and friend to him and Masaki.
However, if it wasn't deliberately arranged by the other party, then everything was too coincidental. Yecheng hadn't appeared in the Human World for over a decade, and now, upon his return, such chaos ensued.
Moreover, the Shinigami girl associated with his son's group was not only Yecheng's junior but also a member of the Kuchiki Clan, who had an excellent relationship with him.
After hearing Kurozaki Isshin's words, Yecheng remained silent for a moment before slightly raising the corners of his mouth and saying, "I believe the person who arranged all this also hopes that you have such thoughts."
Yecheng didn't directly deny or confirm, but his words caused Kurozaki Isshin's pupils to constrict, clearly understanding the implied meaning.
"Black Zaki Ichigo possesses the bloodlines of Shinigami, Quincy, and Hollow. Do you think it's possible for him to live an ordinary life as a regular person?
You didn't stop him from obtaining the power of Shinigami just now, probably because you already had an answer in your heart, right?"
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Kurozaki Isshin fell silent. Chiharu, standing beside them, was utterly bewildered by the conversation between Yecheng and her uncle, Shiba Isshin.
Although Chiharu was confused, she wasn't stupid. She could tell that Yecheng and her uncle were deliberately hiding something, and the supposedly safe Human World was not as simple as she had believed. The fact that the missing Kurona Kiyotsugu and Shihoin Yoriichi were in this city was already shocking enough for Chiharu, but she never expected that her uncle also lived in this city, even marrying and having children.
"So... was Masaki's death also arranged by that guy?"
As he spoke, Kurozaki Isshin's fist clenched involuntarily, revealing his inner turmoil.
From the moment he was saved to the time they fell in love, Kurozaki Isshin's love for Kurozaki Masaki was undoubtedly genuine.
Although Kurozaki Isshin always acted like a carefree and useless uncle in front of his children, the pain he endured in his heart was beyond imagination.
"Regarding that, I'm not sure. After all, Black Zaki Ichigo might have been targeted from the moment he was born."
Whether or not Kurozaki Masaki's death was related to Aizen, Yecheng truly didn't know.
While he was indeed a time-traveler, he was just a fan who watched the show, and it was impossible for him to know all the inside information. Blaming the main villain for everything didn't seem fair.
"So, originally, my uncle's wife, my aunt, was actually..."
Realizing something, Chiharu, standing beside them, showed a look of regret. She had been curious about what kind of person her aunt was.
However, just as she felt disappointed, she remembered her resurrected sister-in-law, Shiba Dou, and unintentionally blurted out, "If my aunt wasn't an ordinary human, couldn't you, Brother Yecheng, revive her...?"
