Chapter 241: Determination

Ichigo and Sado came to the Urahara store.

"Urahara-san, I need your help!"

As soon as he saw Kisuke, Ichigo unceremoniously stated his purpose.

Then, he told Kisuke what happened last night.

"That is to say, Inoue was taken away by an arrancar under Aizen." Kisuke's expression became serious.

"That's right, because she followed that arrancar to Hueco Mundo on her own initiative, so Yumichika speculated that she has rebelled, but I don't believe she will do such a thing, so it must be that arrancar who threatened her and forced her to follow him without resisting."

Ichigo opened his mouth and expressed his own view on the incident.

After telling the whole story, Ichigo begged Kisuke, "Urahara-san, I want you to help me and Sado to enter Hueco Mundo."

Kisuke also did not refuse Ichigo's request.

"I do have a way to help you get into the Hueco Mundo, but I have to adjust the equipment, so you have to wait for two days."

"Do we have to wait two more days?" To be able to get a positive answer from Kisuke, Ichigo was really happy. He knew that Kisuke could help them enter Hueco Mundo, but he was a little bit impatient knowing that there was still another two days before they could go.

No one knows what will happen in two days.

But there was no other way, who made him have no way to enter Hueco Mundo?

So he could only wait.

Together with Sado, Ichigo returned to his home.

"Urahara-san asked me and Sado to wait for two days, he needs to make some adjustments to his equipment before sending us into Hueco Mundo."

Ichigo first talked about what he gained from Kisuke.

However, Rukia's answer surprised him a bit, "Ichigo, I'm sorry, we just received an order from the Soul Society, and the head-captain asked us to return to the Soul Society immediately.

"Even you guys are leaving…?" Ichigo was startled when he heard this.

Inexplicably, his mood suddenly became a little depressed.

Uryuu disappeared some time ago, saying that he was going to train. Orihime was taken to the Hueco Mundo by the arrancar named Ulquiorra, and now Rukia and others also wanted to return to the Soul Society.

For a while, Ichigo found that only Sado was left as his partner.

Seeing the taciturn big guy Sado beside him, Ichigo immediately looked away again, feeling a little sad in his heart.

"Ichigo..." Listening to Ichigo's words, Rukia knew that Ichigo was in a low mood, but it was the command of the head-captain, and she couldn't refute it.

After saying goodbye to Ichigo.

Mazuru returned to the Soul Society with the shinigami stationed in the world of living with him.

Mazuru, as the leader of the stationing mission in the world of living, first went to the head-captain and told him what happened during their stationing in the world of living.

He spoke about the arrancars that had appeared in the world of living before, although they passed the information about the arrancars back to the Soul Society after the battle, but now that they were back, some details still needed to be described verbally.

Naturally, Mazuru mentioned the matter of Orihime again.

The previous head-captain's statement about Orihime was that it was forbidden for them to help Ichigo in rescuing Orihime. The reason was that the war against Aizen was imminent, and Hueco Mundo was Aizen's base camp and those arrancars. If the Soul Society sends a strong force to Hueco Mundo, it would undoubtedly be throwing themselves into a trap, so instead of going there to save people, it was better to prepare for the war.

However, Mazuru could tell from the head-captain's expression that he actually had some hesitation about whether to send people to Hueco Mundo to save Orihime.

Yamamoto seemed old-fashioned, pedantic, and rigid, but in fact, sometimes, he was quite humane.

Leaving from the head-captain's room of the First Division, walking on the streets of Seireitei, a familiar figure came into his eyes.

"Let's walk together."

Mazuru looked at Nanao who deliberately ran into him, and said softly.

Nanao nodded.

"I already know about the things in the world of living. At that time, you should have also wanted to help Ichigo to save his friend."

Nanao turned her head and looked at Mazuru.

Mazuru was silent for a while, "Maybe…"

He gave an ambiguous answer.

Rukia, who came back to the Kuchiki house, was also not in a good mood. She knew that with Ichigo's habits, no matter how dangerous Hueco Mundo was, he would definitely choose to step into it to rescue Orihime.

Just like when he came to Soul Society with Orihime and others to save herself.

However, the more this came into her mind, the more uncomfortable Rukia's mood became. At the beginning, Ichigo and others could come to Soul Society for her. Now that Orihime was in trouble and she could not go to help Ichigo due to the rules of Soul Society.

With the power of just Ichigo and Sado, going to the dangerous Hueco Mundo, and rescue Orihime, there was a very high chance of death.

Suddenly footsteps sounded, and finally stopped in front of her.

"Nii-sama!"

Rukia raised her head and looked at the person who came, a little astonished.

"You really want to help Ichigo, right?" Byakuya said, revealing Rukia's thoughts.

"..."

Rukia looked hesitant, not knowing how to answer this question.

Byakuya had always been serious, if he really knew that she wanted to help Ichigo, she doesn't know how much she will be reprimanded.

But as a result, to Rukia's surprise, Byakuya's tone changed, and then he talked about another matter.

"Do you remember that you were going to be executed for giving away shinigami power to Ichigo?"

Rukia nodded.

"On the morning of your execution, my father found me and spoke to me."

"Father, he came to find nii-sama?"

Rukia was actually not familiar with Kuchiki Sojun, her nominal father, and had not met him more than a few times. After all, when she was adopted by the Kuchiki family, Sojun had already retired.

"My father said to me at that time, that whatever I wanted to do, just do it as I wanted, and I don't have to think of the Kuchiki family."

"Now, I want to pass this sentence on to you."

Rukia was stunned when Byakuya revealed his purpose.

He said again, "Come with me."

Rukia left with Byakuya, and finally came to the back of Kuchiki's house, where another figure had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing this figure, Rukia was taken aback again.

"Renji!"

"Rukia, you're here." He also greeted Rukia.

Then Rukia looked at another place, a small Senkaimon.

In the homes of some nobles in the Soul Society, there were small Senkaimon. At the beginning, Kasumioji Rurichiyo used the small Senkaimon of Kasumioji family to go to the world of living. In the Kuchiki family, there were also such things. It's just because the Kuchiki family protects the nobles' glory and abides by the rules of the Soul Society, it rarely used this thing, let alone use it to sneak into the world of living.
