Chapter 104: Hero

Alien here: Firstly, a heads up - the Human world arc will be short, so no worries. The main story will start soon.

I know updates have not been consistent lately. I'm busy with my exams these days, but I'll try to get back on schedule by uploading at least 4 chapters per week.

----------------------

Yamahiko's speed wasn't particularly fast. After leaving the warehouse(Visored's Base) and reaching the outside, he didn't dare to use spiritual power, so he could only rely on the strength of his body to run.

Heading towards Green Mountain, it took him half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain, yet there was no trace of Misaomaru Kanonji.

Speed is indeed fast.

Instead of searching immediately, Yamahiko quietly senses and finds two reiatsu on the mountain. One is in motion, and the other is stationary halfway up the mountain.

The moving reiatsu is heading directly towards the stationary one halfway up the mountain.

If that Hollow had truly arrived at Green Mountain, Misaomaru Kanonji would undoubtedly encounter it, and Yamahiko needed to get there quickly.

Thinking swiftly, Yamahiko ascended the mountain, using a combination of hands and feet to climb rapidly.

When Yamahiko was about to approach the halfway point of the mountain, Misaomaru Kanonji had already rushed to that point and encountered the stationary spiritual pressure.

Damn.

Yamahiko quickened his pace, subtly manipulating the spiritual particles in the air to create points of propulsion beneath his feet. His speed suddenly increased.

Arrived.

After seven or eight seconds, Yamahiko arrived near Misaomaru and looked inside.

He saw Misaomaru standing in front of a cave, holding a wooden stick. Next to him, there was a Hollow with wings, and beside the Hollow, there was a woman breathing weakly.

Not dead yet, though the situation is not great, she's still alive.

"Hehehe, can you see me, human? Still Daring to come here, perfect. I'll keep you as food.," the Hollow chuckled.

"Hurry up and let her go." Misaomaru Kanonji held a wooden stick, nervously shouting.

[Alien here: Don't forget to listen to the song 'Let Her Go' by Passenger. xD]

"Let her go? How about you stay as well?" The Hollow flapped its wings, lunging towards Misaomaru.

Slow speed, and judging by its size, it's a small Hollow. Even a student from the Shin'ō Academy could handle it.

The sharp claws of the Hollow reached out towards Misaomaru Kanonji. Misaomaru quickly dodged to the side and, after avoiding the attack, struck at the body of the Hollow.

"Bang!"

Misaomaru Kanonji's wooden club struck the head of the Hollow, but the opponent remained unharmed.

"Boom."

The Hollow swung its wings, striking Misaomaru Kanonji. Despite trying to defend with his hands in front of him, he was still sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Don't resist anymore, die."

The Hollow flew towards Misaomaru Kanonji. Misaomaru struggled to get up, his arms weakly hanging down. He glanced at the nearby forest, then suddenly stood up and ran towards the trees.

'As long as he enters the woods, he won't be able to fly.'

Thinking quickly, Misaomaru rushed into the forest.

'Very clever, this way the opponent can't catch up.'

Just as Yamahiko was about to intervene, he saw Misaomaru Kanonji running into the woods.

But in the next moment, with a loud crash, a tree was directly knocked down. The sound of falling trees echoed, as the Hollow broke through one tree after another, pursuing Misaomaru Kanonji.

Misaomaru Kanonji was halfway up the mountain, and with the sparse trees in the area, it only took seven or eight fallen trees for the Hollow to catch up, cornering him near the cliff.

Misaomaru Kanonji stood at the edge of the cliff, facing the Hollow. His legs trembled, and cold sweat dripped down his face.

"Kid, your spiritual power is strong. Be a good boy and become my food."

Leaving these words, the Hollow flew towards Misaomaru Kanonji.

"No!"

Misaomaru Kanonji reached out his hand, and a sphere of spiritual particles flew towards the Hollow.

"What is this?"

The Hollow laughed, reaching out to touch the energy sphere. But in the next moment, with a loud explosion, the surroundings erupted in intense noise.

When the smoke cleared, the Hollow was left with only half of its body, dead beyond any further death.

"Is it dead?"

Misaomaru Kanonji opened his eyes, looking at the Hollow lying on the ground, somewhat confused about what had just happened.

Wait, did I reach out my hand just now? Could it be that I killed it?

Meanwhile, in the forest, Yamahiko breathed a sigh of relief.

He had used the Hadō #31. Shakkahō at the last moment, killing the Hollow.

Although the Shakkahō had limited effectiveness against large Hollows, it was more than enough against regular ones.

"Are you okay, Brother Misaomaru Kanonji?"

Yamahiko walked out of the forest and approached him, asking with concern.

"How could anything happen to me?"

Misaomaru Kanonji said triumphantly, "Didn't you see just now? I killed this monster. Hahaha, I can defeat these creatures."

"Well..."

Although Yamahiko didn't want Misaomaru Kanonji to find out that he had dealt with the Hollow, seeing his triumphant expression made him feel uneasy.

Yamahiko chuckled and said, "You're really amazing, Big Brother Misaomaru."

"That's for sure."

Hanging his arms, Misaomaru Kanonji proudly continued, "Perhaps I can do some soul-cleansing(spirit medium) work."

"Soul-cleansing?"

Yamahiko looked at Misaomaru, surprised.

Misaomaru Kanonji said, "That's right, I can even kill monsters and some evil spirits. But I need to come up with a good name. Hmm, let's call it 'Don Kanonji.' What do you think?"

"Don Kanonji?"

'That Don Kanonji!?'

Yamahiko recalled that in the future, Don Kanonji would be around fifty years old, and now he was only twenty.

How could Yamahiko have anticipated that he was one of the future Four Gods of Bleach.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it sound good?" Misaomaru Kanonji hurriedly asked.

Yamahiko quickly said, "It sounds great, a perfect name."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Misaomaru waved his arm and added, "By the way, we found the little girl's mother. Though her condition is not great, she's still alive. Let's go and save her quickly."

Returning to the vicinity of the cave, Misaomaru Kanonji's appearance concerned Yamahiko, who couldn't help but remark, "Your condition doesn't look good either."

Yamahiko walked over to Misaomaru Kanonji, helped him carry the little girl's mother, and discreetly slipped a healing pill into her mouth.

As for Misaomaru, healing medications don't have much effect on his body, but his injuries aren't too severe, so he can go to the hospital.

Misaomaru carried the little girl's mother on his back, with Yamahiko following alongside, heading back to their starting point.

Two hours later, they returned to the original location. Yoruichi and the others had been there for a while, growing impatient. However, when they saw the soul on Misaomaru Kanonji's back, their eyes lit up. Yoruichi asked, "Did you find her?"

Misaomaru Kanonji proudly replied, "With Master Kanonji on the case, how could we not find her!"

"Mom."

The little girl rushed to her mother's side. At this point, the healing pill took effect. The girl's mother woke up and, looking at her daughter, exclaimed, "I thought I wouldn't see you again!"

The little girl threw herself into her mother's arms, crying loudly.

"Hana, shouldn't you thank the people who saved your mom?" her mother said with a smile.

The little girl immediately said, "Thank you, big brother, big sister."

Yoruichi ruffled the girl's hair and said, "No need to thank us."

Misaomaru Kanonji laughed and said, "It was just a small effort."

A small effort? Without me, you would be dead by now.

But no matter how you look at it, Misaomaru Kanonji had contributed a lot. Yamahiko thought about the future Don Kanonji, facing Sosuke Aizen, and still choosing to stand up.

Although Don Kanonji had done many laughable and questionable things, fundamentally, he was a good person.

Just like he said, he was a hero.

...

"Goodbye."

After bidding farewell to the mother and daughter, Misaomaru Kanonji turned around and addressed Yoruichi and the others, ""Goodbye, may you all attain enlightenment soon."

Leaving these words behind, Misaomaru Kanonji turned and left, disappearing at the end of the road.

Yamahiko watched him depart, bathed in sunlight. Misaomaru Kanonji, with each step, seemed to be adorned in a cloak of gold.

Yamahiko felt like he was witnessing the birth of a legend.
