Make Up Your Mind

"Captain -"

The space in front of him shattered, revealing the bodies of Toushiro and Matsumoto Ranju, as well as Yukio, who was wrapped in ice crystals by Toushiro and controlled to float behind him.

"Ah, it seems that the two of them are not over."

Glancing at the two battles, Tōshirō Hitsugaya walked to Suzuki Kusu and looked up at the battle of Kurosaki Ichigo in the sky.

Before he came here, Head-Captain also gave him an order, which was to confirm whether Kurosaki Ichigo still insisted on his choice after knowing the truth of the matter.

The annihilation of the Quincy, which should have been wiped out in the battle two hundred years ago, reappeared in Hueco Mundo. Their strength and purpose were now unknown, and according to Soul Society's judgment, the group of guys was likely to come back to provoke the battle. At this time, Kurosaki Ichigo's combat effectiveness seemed more important. The combat effectiveness of a captain level was self-evident for the battle that was about to break out.

Boom!!

Kurosaki Ichigo's Zanpakuto collided with Zanpakuto of Ginjō.

"Did you fight well? You have already fought with me with all your strength. However, why are you fighting now?"

The hands exerted force, and the bodies of the two people each retreated, standing opposite each other several steps away. After hearing the words of Ginjō Kūgo, Kurosaki Ichigo frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"As long as the user of Fullbring died, all traces of his ability would disappear. Although Tsukishima is not dead yet, facing such an opponent. He can't hold on for long. As long as he dies, everything that happens to your friends and family will disappear. Then. At that time, why will you fight? There is nothing that can not be resolved between us, right?"

"..."

"You can't answer it, right? No problem. Then, I will tell you something else. It is about the enemy that you should really fight!"

"The enemy that I should really deal with..."

Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes suddenly widened, and a trace of shock appeared on his face, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"That's right!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I have had enough of your tricks to shake your opponents."

"..."

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Ichigo looked at Ginjō Kūgo opposite him with a determined look, but the attack on his hand stopped.

"That's right."

Ishida Uryū appeared behind Ginjō Kūgo, holding his own spirit bow in his hand, his eyes staring at Ginjō Kūgo's back.

"Once you see the situation is unfavorable, you can say something shocking truth. The purpose of creating psychological oppression is to create a situation that is 'so it is advantageous to cooperate with me'. Is that right?"

"You said the situation is unfavorable?"

Glancing at Ishida Uryū behind him, Ginjō's face showed a sneer.

"What did you see to make such a judgment? I am sorry, now I am more than enough to deal with you two people. You can try to attack me from behind. Even if I talk like this now, I can also block your attack."

Ishida Uryū clenched his own spirit bow, but did not make any action, just staring at Ginjō Kūgo in silence.

"Kurosaki, do you know why you are handed over the license?"

Feeling Ishida Uryū behind him quiet down, Ginjō once again turned his eyes to Ichigo, showed his license, and asked Ichigo in front of him.

"... What do you mean?"

"When you are handed over the license, someone should tell you this. When the agent Shinigami is judged to be beneficial to Soul Society, he will give him the license. Listen carefully, Kurosaki, that is a lie!"

Ichigo's face suddenly flashed with a trace of emotion.

"Normally. It has nothing to do with whether it is beneficial to the Soul Society, whether you are beneficial or not. All will be equally handed over to the agency certificate. The official name of the agent license is [Deputy Death God Fighting License], which is a certificate that allows the act of acting as a Shinigami in the present world."

"I know."

"However, have you ever felt its essence?"

The pupils suddenly contracted, and countless fragments flashed through Kurosaki Ichigo's brain in an instant. All along, his own license had no effect at all. Shinigami, who came to the karakura city, had never heard of this thing.

"Do you want to say that there are other functions for the license?"

"That's right!"

Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo, Ginjō face showed a trace of mockery, not knowing whether it was for Soul Society, Ichigo, or himself.

"The function of the license is to monitor and restrain! Thanks to the license, Soul Society can control your position at any time. At least when you put the license next to you, your Reiryoku will be suppressed. Don't you feel puzzled? Once your Reiryoku is excited, he will even go berserk under the state of Shinigami, but he has never been affected in the form of a human. When you use the certificate to control the present, the certificate can actually burst out your Reiryoku. When you finish training the present, you can actually hear the voice of your companion through the certificate."

"The certificate is a communication device connected to Soul Society. It is also Reiryoku who absorbs and analyzes you, so as to restrain your items. In order to let you be monitored and restrained by Soul Society, I gave you the certificate! It is impossible that you have not noticed the difference, but just rubbed it unconsciously."

"After a heavy battle, the opponents who understand each other can not deceive themselves. You just want to believe so, Ichigo!"

A drop of sweat slid down from Ichigo's forehead, because of what Ginjō said, his heart has been slightly shaken.

On the ground, Tōshirō Hitsugaya quietly looked at what happened in the sky. Kurosaki Ichigo's next decision was crucial, and witnessed that Kurosaki Ichigo's choice was one of the tasks given to him by Head-Captain this time.

"I will tell you, the planner of this plan, Jūshirō Ukitake, 13th Division Captain! The most peace-loving man of Gotei 13th has set us up! Ichigo"

"His goal is to monitor and control us, and use us as Soul Society's chess pieces. As long as you resist, immediately destroy!" "That thing, except you, Soul Society everyone knows, no one will come to help you, Ichigo!"

Seeing the change in expression of Kurosaki Ichigo, Ishida Uryū's eyes flashed a trace of panic. Such a cruel truth, Kurosaki now could not bear it. He just recovered his own strength of Shinigami, with the help of Soul Society's companion.

"Don't listen! Kurosaki"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came out from his mouth, stopping Ishida Uryū's action. Kurosaki Ichigo lowered his head, making people unable to see his expression. The Zanpakuto in his hand was raised flat, and a stream of Reiryoku rose.

"Bankai!"

A strong Reiryoku suddenly broke out, with Kurosaki Ichigo's body as the center, a Reiryoku air wave spread around.

"Tell me to shut up? Why are you so angry? You want to kill me with your Bankai because what I said provoked you? What are you going to do about that? Are you really going to turn a blind eye to the facts again?"

With a gloomy expression on his face, Ginjō Kūgo provoked.

"Shut your mouth."

With a calm expression on his face, Ichigo looked at Ginjō Kūgo with a dull eyes. His anger seemed to disappear in an instant because of Bankai.

"This time it is for you. It was said to Ishida before, not with you."

"Don't listen to him, Kurosaki! Please, you are too good at worrying. I said this not because I didn't think there was anything suspicious about what Mr. Ukitake said. I just didn't want to believe it. I didn't want to doubt him, so I kept my doubts aside. But one day, I realized something. Why do I feel that Mr. Ukitake is suspicious? Mr. Ukitake is smarter than me. If someone like him really wanted to deceive me, I wouldn't have noticed that I was deceived at all."

"But Mr. Fu Zhu used such a reason to give me a license. I immediately realized that its purpose was probably not what Mr. Fu Zhu said. But since Mr. Fu Zhu said so, then I will pretend to be so. He intended to let me choose."

"What is there to choose? No matter how you think about it, there is nothing to choose."

Looking up, Ginjō Kūgo said in a disdainful tone.

"I chose, I chose that path, using my own hands to protect others! I need strength, all the time, I want to have the strength to protect people. When I need strength, Rukia gave me strength. Even if I lost my strength, everyone helped me recover. That is why I want to protect them and fight with you!"

"Tch!"

After a moment of silence, Ginjō Kūgo suddenly curled his lips, his body took a step back, and Zanpakuto in his hand suddenly stretched forward.

"It seems that there is no need to talk about it. I have no choice. I didn't want to kill you like this. - Bankai!!"

A powerful Reiryoku suddenly broke out. After Ginjō Kūgo grabbed his Bankai, his Zanpakuto appeared in front of Kurosaki Ichigo. The surface of the body was wrapped by something. It seemed that it was the thing that appeared on the surface of the body when Ichigo used the stealth technique before.

"I almost forgot that you are also the agent of Shinigami."

Facing the new form of Ginjō, Kurosaki Ichigo's face did not have a slight difference, but he still looked calm. Although the opponent's Reiatsu was strong, Ichigo knew clearly that he could win! Although it has been 17 months since he lost his strength, the Reiatsu that fills his body tells Ichigo that he can definitely win

"Yes, but you still forget one thing. I told you before that we have two relatives who were attacked before we appeared, which is to say that I have the same strength as you."

"Is that so?"

Still a look of indifference, Kurosaki Ichigo raised the Zanpakuto in his hand.

After regaining his strength, no matter if it was Zangetsu or Tensa Zangetsu, there were some differences in their forms. Even the Death Tyrant Armor had some changes. In contrast, it was more powerful than before.

His arm waved down, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the air, blowing Ichigo's clothes.

"Let's end this"
