Bleach: Why I, Kurosaki Ichigo, am not the harem king Chapter 064

Hearing Unohana Yachiru’s words, Ichigo found it a bit tricky.

As long as the Sea of Blood remained, she would not perish. This condition was too harsh. Even Aizen, who had merged with the Hogyoku, or members of the Zero Squad, would find it difficult to completely destroy this Sea of Blood!

Especially when she was determined to die, she simply wouldn’t die!

(In the original work, Unohana’s death was too hasty. Once Kenpachi recovered, she seemed to have completed her mission and just waited for death.)

(Or rather, according to Unohana Retsu’s understanding, she should have died a long time ago. The moment she abandoned the title of Kenpachi, she should have died. The subsequent generations of Kenpachi were completely unrecognized by her.)

(The only one she recognized was Kenpachi Zaraki. So, theoretically, the position of Kenpachi was only passed down for one and two generations. As for the other Kenpachi, sorry, Unohana Yachiru did not acknowledge them!)

(She had been waiting for Kenpachi Zaraki to return to the Seireitei and reclaim his title, and then, she could die as stated in the Kenpachi inheritance!)

Of course, this was what happened in the original story. Now, everything was completely different.

After all, the title of Kenpachi couldn’t be passed to two people, right?

Unohana Yachiru looked at Ichigo, also feeling a headache. Her condition of “I won’t perish as long as the Sea of Blood remains” was already quite unfair.

But she couldn’t contend with the cheat-like opponent who was even more unfair. He completely abandoned defense, yet you just couldn’t kill him!

He was like a丐版 Majin Buu, though neither of them knew what Majin Buu was.

“Too troublesome! Yachiru, next move, I will definitely defeat you. If you can’t block it, or if it takes too long to recover, just surrender!”

“I don’t want to kill you!”

As Ichigo spoke, an unusual spiritual pressure emerged from his body!

Unohana Yachiru’s pupils constricted. “This power is… Hollow!”

After fighting Hollows for so many years, the scent of a Hollow was all too familiar to Unohana Yachiru!

But how could a Shinigami possess Hollow power?

This was unscientific!

But Kurosaki Ichigo told her, this was scientific!

Ichigo placed his left hand on his face and said to Unohana Yachiru, “Just one move. If I can’t defeat you, I’ll surrender!”

As he spoke, the white spiritual pressure on his left hand covered his face, and a white mask instantly appeared on Ichigo’s face!

Eerie red patterns entwined around the mask, giving off an ominous aura!

“This power, how can this power appear in the Soul Society?” Unohana Yachiru looked at Ichigo in disbelief.

This was the greatest shock she had ever received!

She couldn’t have imagined that a Shinigami could also master Hollowfication!

After all, in her memory, Shinigami Hollowfication was a completely irreversible process!

It was basically a one-way ticket from Shinigami to Hollow. It was impossible for a Shinigami to possess both Shinigami power and Hollow power!

Previous Hollowfication experiments had occurred multiple times in the Soul Society, and not a single Shinigami had succeeded!

Of course, this was before the Hogyoku was created!

There were always some geniuses who could do things others couldn’t!

Like Kisuke Urahara, and like Sosuke Aizen!

Their experiments could be said to be the first time in the history of the Soul Society that a Shinigami’s Hollowfication was completed while still maintaining their original consciousness!

Of course, there were various coincidences involved, which won’t be elaborated on.

“Yachiru, I don’t have much time in this form, so I won’t waste words with you. After the battle, I’ll explain everything to you properly!”

Ichigo spoke in a strange tone from beneath his mask.

Then, before Unohana Yachiru could react, Ichigo directly Shunpo-ed behind her, kicked her down, and his Tensa Zangetsu was filled with black spiritual pressure!

Unlike the reddish-black color it usually had, this time, it was completely black!

It didn’t resemble Getsuga Tensho; it was more like a Cero!

It was fortunate that Ichigo hadn’t lost his mind and hadn’t forgotten to make Unohana Yachiru come into close contact with the Sea of Blood, otherwise, if something unexpected happened, it wouldn’t be good!

“Getsuga Tensho.”

Ichigo simply stated this time.

But Unohana Yachiru sensed a raging spiritual pressure!

If she didn’t run and took this hit head-on, there was a certain probability she would die on the spot!

After all, it was just to make Kurosaki Ichigo entertain her, not to kill herself. Unohana Yachiru became much more clear-headed and decisively fled, using the Sea of Blood to block Ichigo’s attack!

“Buzz!”

The explosion of spiritual pressure directly evaporated most of the Sea of Blood. Unohana Yachiru looked at all of this blankly. It was fortunate that Ichigo hadn’t aimed at Minazuki, otherwise Minazuki would have shattered long ago!

Unohana Yachiru’s hair was scattered behind her, and the wound on her chest was exposed.

In Ichigo’s eyes, that wound was so glaring!

With Unohana Yachiru’s healing abilities, it would be easy to heal this wound, but she still kept it.

The mask on Ichigo’s face dissipated, and Unohana Yachiru also released her Bankai. Her frenzied fighting spirit also cooled down.

No one wanted to fight a monster, even if that person had once been called a monster!

Minazuki dispersed, and Unohana Yachiru looked at Ichigo with a complicated expression. Besides Genryusai Yamamoto, he was the strongest Shinigami she had ever seen. Even the Kenpachi of that era was not as strong as him!

“Yachiru, you…”

Unohana Retsu interrupted Ichigo, saying, “Just call me Retsu. The name Yachiru is in the past. Let the past be the past!”

“Okay, Sister Retsu.”

Ichigo also said with a smile.

Of course, his Zanpakuto also returned to its sheath.

The two sat leaning against each other in the training hall.

“Sister Retsu, let me tell you about my story…” Ichigo was about to say something when Unohana Retsu interrupted him, “Ichigo, listen to my story first.”

Then, Unohana Retsu told Ichigo all the important stories from her past thousand years, which took about half a night.

“It was because I met that boy that I stepped down from the position of the first Kenpachi. I knew that I had lost that battle. Since I lost, I was no longer worthy of the title of Kenpachi.”

“So I changed my name, changed my squad, and became like this.” Unohana Retsu didn’t braid her hair; it was still scattered behind her head.

But her current appearance was much more serene than before.

Ichigo couldn’t help but reach out and gently touch the wound on Unohana Retsu’s chest.

“Does it still hurt?” Ichigo asked.

“It lost all feeling long ago. I kept it only to remind myself that I am actually already a dead person, just waiting for the true owner of the Kenpachi title to return and take it.” Unohana Retsu’s words made Ichigo’s heart ache.

“Ah, Ichigo, what are you doing?” Unohana Retsu felt a chill on her chest. That scar had been healed by Ichigo, leaving only smooth skin.

Ichigo turned to look into Unohana Retsu’s eyes and said, “Since you’re no longer using your old name, then this matter is already in the past for you. If he wants the title of Kenpachi in the future, let him come find me! I am the man who truly defeated you!”

Hearing Ichigo’s words, Unohana Retsu smiled, a very happy smile. For thousands of years, she had never been so happy!

“Ichigo, you are truly gentle,” Unohana Retsu murmured.

Inheriting his mother’s gentle personality, Ichigo was also like a small sun, constantly radiating light and warmth.

This warm light dispelled all the darkness in Unohana Retsu’s heart. She knew that her reason for wielding her sword would be different from now on.

And after letting down her guard and having her pent-up feelings cleared by Ichigo, Unohana Retsu’s spiritual pressure actually increased significantly!

One had to admit, she was truly a Shinigami. The power of will was somewhat too strong!

Unohana Retsu stared blankly at her hands. “Ichigo, I feel like I’ve become much stronger.”

Ichigo held Unohana Retsu’s hand and said nothing. The two simply leaned against each other, forgetting time and worries.

Ichigo also told Unohana Retsu about his own story and the origin of his Hollowfication. These were things he had never told anyone else.

Not even Rukia or Tatsuki. But he told Unohana Retsu. He felt that he shouldn’t hide anything from the woman in front of him.

Perhaps, the world of a madman was just so different.

Ichigo, who had White within his body, might essentially be a madman himself.

Just a male madman who, at the right time, met a female madman!

Essentially, it was a story of salvation.

The female madman had a goal, and her heart became firm. Her spiritual pressure, which had stagnated due to her will, once again surged forward like a mighty river!

Not only that, the accumulation of a thousand years still required a longer time to digest.

Perhaps this female madman would become terrifyingly strong, reaching that ceiling!

After hearing Ichigo’s words, Unohana Retsu rose from his embrace in shock, tilting her head and looking at Ichigo, sighing, “If I didn’t know you well, I’d really want to dissect you and see.”

Ichigo asked strangely, “Is something wrong?”

“Of course something’s wrong! How can a single person’s body possess both Shinigami and Hollow powers in complete balance? Not to mention a Zanpakuto that Hollowfied! Ichigo, you might be the only Shinigami like this in the history of the Soul Society!” Unohana Retsu exclaimed.

Then she mumbled, “If I had a child with Ichigo, would they also inherit such power? A Shinigami who masters Hollow power from birth?”

Ichigo didn’t hear what Unohana Retsu said, otherwise he would have been startled…

After all, he wasn’t even an adult yet, and becoming a father was still too early.

For the long lifespan of powerful Shinigami, it was even earlier than early!

(And Kubo, this nesting doll maniac, theoretically, Ichigo actually has three lifespans: his physical lifespan, then going to the Soul Society after death, his soul lifespan, and after dying again, going to Hell. Currently, people in Hell seem to find it difficult to die again. It’s unclear if there’s a Heaven after dying in Hell. Goodness, endless nesting dolls, right?!)

(However, according to the Hell Arc’s setting, Ichigo seems to be immortal. In fact, he was already immortal. With his spiritual pressure, he might live longer than the current Soul King who supports the world…)

The next day, at the Kuchiki household.

Ichigo came calling again.

Of course, today he came to ask when Rukia would return to the Human World with him.

If it were before, the Kuchiki family would certainly not have allowed Rukia, their young lady, to return to the Human World.

But now, times had changed. The Kuchiki family wished they could dress Rukia up right now and have her marry Ichigo immediately.

So even Jushiro Ukitake couldn’t stop Rukia from being stationed in the Human World.

However, Rukia herself was willing…

Of course, some people were displeased, such as Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai, the Captain and Lieutenant duo.

“Rukia, are you still going to be stationed in the Human World?”

Renji heard from Byakuya that Rukia would continue to be the Shinigami stationed in Karakura Town.

He approached her somewhat anxiously.

After all, in Renji’s opinion, no matter what, Rukia had finally broken the ice with him.

He was just about to pursue her fiercely, but he didn’t expect Rukia to be leaving again.

“Yes, that’s right. I’ll be stationed in Karakura Town for a long time,” Rukia nodded.

“Is the Kuchiki family forcing you?” Renji spoke somewhat carelessly.

Rukia shook her head helplessly. “No matter what, I am the legitimate young lady of the Kuchiki family. The elders wouldn’t dare to force me to do anything.”

Especially since Rukia, who had fully recovered her spiritual pressure, subtly possessed Captain-level spiritual pressure. These elders were busy coaxing her; how would they force her to do anything!

Did they really think Captain-level Shinigami were so easy to come by!

For the Shinigami profession, not even knowing the name of one’s own Zanpakuto was the norm!

Being able to release one’s Zanpakuto, even just Shikai, was already the mark of a genius among geniuses!

Bankai was even rarer, a true genius born only every few decades!

Otherwise, how could the esteemed head of the Four Great Noble Families, the Kuchiki family, have only one Captain-level Shinigami in residence!

Hearing Rukia’s words, Renji felt somewhat lost. What was wrong? Hadn’t they reconciled? Why was Rukia still treating him this way?

Friends, and only friends!

This wasn’t what Renji wanted!

Then, he saw a blond-haired man!

“Yo, Rukia, I’m here.”
