Chapter 441: Ichigo, Night City, and the Monster of Soul Society
Chapter 441: Ichigo, Night City, and the Monster of Soul Society
After answering Orihime's question, Night City turned to Rukia and said, "As for your question, Rukia, I can answer that too.
The reason I came to the Human World is partly because I wanted to take a break and relax, but it's also because of you, Rukia.
You should understand, right, Sister Fei Zhen...?"
"But this is your task, and if I tell you about my visit to the Human World, you might develop a sense of reliance.
To ensure you can stand on your own as soon as possible, I intentionally kept it from you. I hope you understand my intentions."
After explaining to both Rukia and Orihime, Night City prepared to make his escape.
On the other side, Koetsu, curious about Ichigo Kurosaki, scrutinized him and said, "Kid, your spiritual pressure is strong, but you don't know how to use it properly.
With such natural talent for spiritual pressure, you're just swinging your sword like a street thug, wasting your potential!"
This was Koetsu's first encounter with her nominal cousin, Ichigo Kurosaki, and she was quite intrigued.
With her habit of 'disciplining her brother,' seeing Ichigo's disheveled state, Koetsu couldn't help but scold him.
In Koetsu's eyes, her useless brother, Yanyou, was a lost cause, but this cousin, Ichigo, had good potential and talent; he just needed some guidance.
Uncle Isshin, after leaving his role as a Shinigami, had completely disappeared, unable to guide his children, which Koetsu understood.
It was a pity that someone as talented as Ichigo was being buried.
If only she could train him, Koetsu was certain he would become a man far superior to Yanyou.
"Although battles in the Soul Society are mostly determined by spiritual pressure, if you can't control this power, it will never become your strength.
Be prepared, Rukia. Before, to save you all, she voluntarily reported to the Soul Society, giving her Shinigami powers to ordinary humans."
This act is considered illegal in the Seireitei, and I believe the Gotei 13 will soon send people to capture Rukia.
And when that time comes, will the sword in your hand still be able to protect those you wish to protect?"
After saying this, Night City and Koetsu disappeared from everyone's sight.
Hearing Night City mention Ichigo, he turned to Rukia with a questioning look, about to ask if what Night City said was true.
But he noticed Rukia tightly gripping the so-called transmitter, her body slightly trembling, and Ichigo already knew the answer.
Rukia was also aware of the consequences of violating the Seireitei's laws, and she had prepared herself for it. She had intended to hide everything and bear the burden alone.
But she hadn't expected Night City to bring up this matter to Ichigo and the others.
"Rukia, tell me honestly, what punishment awaits you if you're caught by the Soul Society for giving your Shinigami powers to ordinary humans?"
Ichigo was extremely angry at Rukia's attempt to hide everything and bear the consequences alone.
He, who wanted to protect his family with his power, couldn't accept that Rukia would be the one punished.
"Rest assured, my status in the Soul Society is quite high, and my superiors and seniors are kind. They will speak up for me."
Although there will be some punishment, it shouldn't be capital punishment."
Rukia's words of comfort did not reassure Ichigo and the others; instead, it made them even more worried.
Not capital punishment? Then, isn't the punishment right next to capital punishment!
"So, as long as we don't go back to the Soul Society, no matter who they send to capture us, I'll defeat them all!"
Hearing Ichigo's sudden surge of mysterious confidence, Ishida Uryu, standing beside him, couldn't help but voice his skepticism, "If the Soul Reapers from the Soul Society are on the same level as that monster called Yecheng, can you still have such confidence?"
Facing Ishida's bluntness, Ichigo wanted to shout out his confidence, but remembering the terrifying strength Yecheng had just displayed, he couldn't help but feel deflated again.
"Are there many monsters like him in the Soul Society?"
To be honest, ever since gaining Shinigami powers from Rukia, Ichigo had become a bit arrogant.
Especially since Rukia had once mentioned that his spiritual pressure was exceptional, even among all the Shinigami she had encountered.
But after meeting another Shinigami, Yecheng, Ichigo's initial confidence was instantly shattered.
"How is that possible! Yecheng's strength is definitely among the top tier, even within the entire Gotei 13!
The reason I became a Shinigami is also because of Yecheng."
Seeing Rukia's agitated state, Ichigo's expression was rather peculiar. He could tell that Rukia seemed to hold an extraordinary level of admiration for that Shinigami, but he never expected that they had such a connection.
"If that's the case, then we have even less reason to worry, right?
As long as the Shinigami from the Soul Society aren't monsters like Yecheng, and since he has such a connection with Rukia, if someone really wants to capture Rukia, he probably won't just stand by and watch, right?"
Regarding Ichigo's optimistic idea, Rukia, standing beside him, shook her head, "Things aren't as simple as you think. The Seireitei has its own laws, and as members of the Gotei 13 who guard the Seireitei, breaking the law is a serious offense.
Yecheng, as the Third Seat of my division, has already reached his limit by turning a blind eye to my actions.
Unless he wants to openly betray the Seireitei and the Gotei 13, otherwise, Yecheng probably won't be able to help me this time, and he might even face consequences himself."
Rukia is a member of the 13th Division, and Yecheng is the Third Seat of the same division. Despite being in the Human World together, Yecheng didn't stop Rukia from granting Shinigami powers to a human.
With this situation, they should have already been considered negligent and complicit.
Although the circumstances aren't as severe as Rukia's, if they were to investigate further, Yecheng would also be in a difficult position.
And if, on top of this, Yecheng were to stop the Soul Reapers from capturing Rukia, he would likely be held equally accountable.
After hearing Rukia's explanation, the expressions of those present turned extremely grim, especially Ichigo's. Upon learning that Rukia had hidden so much from him and with a powerful enemy approaching, he felt an even greater pressure.
