Bleach: Stir Up the Situation

Ishida did not tell Ichigo and the others what he had experienced. In his heart, since he had made his choice, it was enough to let these people know that he was still their companion.

But it seems that Ishida is not the only acquaintance here today. Just as he was about to briefly introduce Ichigo from the Invisible Empire to Ishida, he was suddenly attracted by a noise outside the door.

"When will that damn bald guy from Diezhong come back!"

"Didn't that team member just say it, wasn't it clear?"

"He's such a troublesome guy!"

Although a group of people came, there was only one person chattering away, and the rest just responded to him when appropriate.

Ichigo and others came to the door and were surprised to see the visitor, "Mr. Hirako, you are all here."

"Hey, Ichigo, you look quite energetic." The leader, Hirako, raised his hand and greeted Ichigo lazily, but a figure suddenly ran up to his back. He had been silent all the way. Hiyori Sarugaki stopped by: "Long time no see, did you miss us, Ichigo!"

The visitors were none other than Mako Hirako, Hiyori Sarugaki, Ratake Aikawa, Lisa Yakinimaru, and Hakida Hakugen. Since the last wedding to Hong Jiang, Ichigo had indeed had nearly a year. Haven't seen them in time.

"Actually, we came here together." Ishida said softly from behind.

"That's right, it's just that we went to check on Kensai and the others first. It seems that they were not ostracized at all, even if that bald guy from Choizuka didn't break his promise." Hiyori said carelessly.

Pingzi lifted her off his back, "Although it's been a long time since we reunited, I still have some questions to ask you."

Hirako pointed to the pavilion next door, "Why do I feel a bunch of familiar spiritual pressure that shouldn't appear here? I believe everyone who appears here should be 'friends', right?"

This was talking about Ichimaru Gin and the Arrancars. Ichigo suddenly had a headache. Although he had accepted this incident and used Tsukishima's power to correct the tampered past, how should he explain this to Heiko and the others? What a big problem for him.

Just as he was preparing to answer Hirako's question as accurately as possible, the savior finally arrived.

"You are all here. It seems that I have come back at the right time."

"Mr. Choizuka!"

"Damn bald man!"

It was Hong Jiang who came back, and everyone subconsciously made way for him. Pingzi raised his hand to greet him, and then pointed his finger to the attic next door. The meaning was obvious, he needed an explanation.

"Ichimaru Gin is indeed my person, and he will also be a trustworthy companion."

"Since when?"

"Anyway, it's not the time when you left the Seireitei." Hongjiang said. Although he had a good night's rest, a trace of fatigue could still be seen on his face. "Now is not the time to dwell on these things. You just need to know that they are all It’s good to be someone you can trust.”

"Including those Arrancars that once attacked Seireitei?"

"certainly."

Hingzi let out a sigh of relief. This was not the explanation he needed, but Kensai and Fengqiao had briefly briefed him on the situation before coming, so it didn't seem that hard to accept Hongjiang's result.

He knew that although Seireitei looked peaceful now, it was in a state of complete tension, and even every minute and every second was precious.

"I understand, but I won't trust Ichimaru Gin and those Arrancars with my back."

Hongjiang looked indifferent, "Your battlefield is not here, let's go in and talk first. I heard that Ichigo, you have come to see me more than once. If you have anything, we can talk slowly."

Everyone returned to the house. The originally spacious room seemed a little crowded because there were five more people.

But this feeling of being surrounded by companions was inexplicably reassuring. At least Ichigo seemed much calmer than before.

Hiroe briefly introduced the current situation of the Gotei 13 Team, including some of the progress Urahara had made in the Technology Development Bureau, and then quickly entered the topic, which was the arrangements for Hirako and others.

"This world?"

"To be precise, we need you to move between the real world and Hueco Mundo." Hong Jiang corrected Hirako, "Although Seireitei will be the main battlefield, we must be prepared that this is not the only battlefield. We need someone to prepare for the possibility. Provide conditions for shuttles between stations.”

"There are not many people who have the technical ability to do this kind of thing. I'm afraid Urahara and Niruri may not have the skills to do both. Akon has this ability, but when Niruri needs to be on the front line of the battlefield, he needs to oversee the Technology Development Bureau. ”

Hong Jiang said, pointing his finger at one person, "So, the only candidate is you, Hiyori."

"Hehe, after all, I was also the vice-captain of the 12th division, so just leave it to me!" Hiyori clenched her fists and said solemnly, and then asked in turn: "But with Akita and the others, they can definitely stay in Seoul. It’s from Lingting.”

"The next war is likely to indirectly affect Hueco Mundo. If you act together, it will be safer, and secondly, they can also attack you."

At this time, Hirako suddenly interrupted and said: "Then it is enough to let the four of them go. I will stay in the Seireitei."

Hongjiang thought for a moment and nodded, "No problem, you, Quanxi and Fengqiao can also take care of each other, but this is only an ideal situation."

Randomly he looked at Hirako: "You should understand that the situation on the battlefield may change rapidly. If you stay here, I hope you can accept the existence of Ichimaru Gin and the Arrancars from your heart, and don't lose your life because of irrelevant suspicions. ”

Is this Hong Jiang who is ready to go all out? It's so coldly uncomfortable.

Pingzi grinned. This was the first time he had seen Hongjiang like this. To be honest, he was quite stressed. "Then we'll see if you can organize a 'friendly' meeting for us."

"Can."

Hongjiang replied decisively, then turned his head in the direction of Ichigo: "I heard that you have come to see me many times. What's the matter, Ichigo?"

Ichigo was a little nervous when he was suddenly called upon. "I, I just feel that I am not good enough to deal with those guys, the guys from the Star Cross Knights. So, I hope Mr. Choizuka can guide me and let I become stronger!"

"And us." Sadatari and Inoue also said in unison.

Hong Jiang fell silent for a moment. He put his hand on his chin and said slowly: "I just said that the next war may come in half a month, or it may be a month, but at most it shouldn't happen. More than three months."

"Although I have trained you for a short period of time before and you have successfully become stronger, those are potentials that are easier to tap, such as learning Swastika interpretation and controlling the blur."

When Ichigo heard this, he couldn't help showing a look of disappointment on his face, but Hongjiang said again: "But this does not mean that your potential has been fully tapped, far from it. It's just that we lack time now, or in a short period of time. A means to tap into your potential again.”

Then Hongjiang glanced at Inoue and Chadari, "The same is true for you. This is not your problem, but our shortcomings."

"Then there is no other way, Mr. Choizuka?" Ichigo patted his chest, "I can endure any kind of hardship, and I can persist in any kind of training!"

"Same for us."

Hongjiang looked at everyone, "For Inoue and Chadar, my suggestion is that you might as well change your perspective. War is not just a collision between swords. Finding your own place can also contribute your own strength."

Then his eyes focused on Ichigo, "As for you, you are not completely without means, it's just that we don't have it."

"What?"

Hong Jiang did not answer him, but said to himself: "Calculating, it should be almost time."

Just as he finished speaking, a sound like wind chimes came from the window, and a dark butterfly flapped its wings and slowly flew into the house.
