Chapter 163 - Chapter 163: Shiba And Kurosaki

Hearing what the black cat Yoruichi said, Kukaku put down the fireworks she was making, picked up a copper pipe, took a puff, and asked the black cat Yoruichi: "Say it, do you want me to help you? What do you want my help with?"

"I want you to help me get into Seireitei." Black Cat Yoruichi said.

"Oh?"

Kukaku was a little surprised, "Even if you have left Soul Society for many years, with your strength and means, it shouldn't be difficult to enter Seireitei."

Black cat Yoruichi's cat face had a very human expression on her face, and she smiled lightly and briefly explained the situation to her.

Later, under the leadership of the black cat Yoruichi, Kukaku met Ichigo and his group.

Orihime, Sado, and Uryuu were directly ignored by her, and her eyes mainly fell on Ichigo. Thinking of what Yoruichi said to her earlier, she was quite shocked. But after seeing Ichigo's appearance, she was even more shocked.

"It's really similar."

It can be said that, except for the hair color, Ichigo looks very similar to her brother Kaein.

Ichigo and the others were also taken aback when they saw Kukaku. They didn't expect that the way to enter Seireitei that Yoruichi spoke about was to find this woman.

'Is there a way she can help us to get into Seireitei?'

Kukaku was very direct, and told Ichigo and others that she could indeed help them to enter Seireitei, but because it was not a normal way of entering, there were great risks. Moreover, before entering, they had to complete the training of learning to activate the hard spirit shield.

Even though they were very anxious, and kept talking about saving Rukia, but if they can't even get into Seireitei, there would be no point in talking about saving people.

Therefore, Ichigo and others could only start trainig hard.

When Kukaku was training Ichigo and the others, Kaein, who had been staying in the Seireitei, suddenly came back.

"Kaein-sama!"

The servants of Shiba's family, Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko, respectfully greeted Kaein immediately.

"How is situation in the family?"

Kaein asked Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko. Although he believed in his sister and wife's strength, but Mazuru's words made him feel a little worried, so he finally chose to return to his home.

After Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko heard Kaein's words, they were taken aback for a moment, and finally Shiroganehiko said, "Kukaku-sama brought back a few guests from somewhere..."

Kaein immediately realized that things were unusual.

He immediately went to the place where his wife, Miyako was.

Miyako was holding a child's hand, standing quietly aside, while in front, four strangers were learning to activate the spirit shield.

His younger brother Shiba Ganju was cheering up several people.

"Kukaku, who are these people?"

Kaein's eyes fell directly on his sister who was smoking on the side.

"If I'm not mistaken, they seem to be..."

Kaein, as the vice-captain of Thirteenth Division, was not an uninformed person, so he immediately recognized the identity of guests.

Before he could say the word "Ryoka", Kukaku responded to him first.

"I know their identities. Nii-san, you are a shinigami of Gotei 13, I know you want to catch them as soon as you see them, but before you catch them…"

Kukaku said, and specifically pointed out, "That kid named Kurosaki Ichigo, why don't you take a good look how he looks like."

Listening to what his sister said, Kaein couldn't help but carefully look at Ichigo's face.

Miyako on the other side was holding her son's little hand, listening to Kukaku's words. She has heard some information from Kukaku's mouth earlier, but now after Kaein returned, she compared the appearance of two of them again, and she was still amazed.

Kaein looked at Ichigo for a while, touched his chin and said, "If you look carefully, he looks a bit like me, but is there any problem?"

He still hadn't realized the crux of the matter.

Kukaku was a little speechless for her silly big brother, so she could only tell the truth directly, "He is..."

Kaein's expression became serious instantly, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's really good news."

Back then, his uncle disappeared, which was defined as a defection by Central 46. He and his siblings were really worried about him. Now that he learned that his uncle was safe and he even met his cousin, Kaein's mood suddenly improved very much.

However, he did not rashly acted familiar with Ichigo and left that for later. He also learned about the reason for which Ichigo and others visited their home.

"Let me do my part too."

Kukaku glanced at his brother suspiciously.

Kaein stepped forward and said to Ichigo and his group, "How many of you came to rescue Rukia?" 

"Ah, you are?" Orihime looked at Kaein curiously, and couldn't help but said in her heart, 'He looks like Kurosaki-kun.'

'It's a shinigami.' Uryuu also became vigilant in his heart.

"I am the contemporary head of the Shiba family, Kukaku's older brother, Shiba Kaein, and the vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division."

Hearing Kaein revealing his identity, Ichigo, who was practicing stopped, took a few steps back, and looked at Kaein warily, "Are you here to catch us?"

He immediately gripped Zanpakuto's hilt.

Kaein shook his head and said, "My sister Kukaku has already decided to help you, I will not arrest you. It is Kuchiki Rukia you want to save, she is a member of my Thirteenth Division."

"I'm afraid you don't know yet, just before, Central 46 has ordered that Rukia, who was originally imprisoned in the Sixth Division, to be transferred to the Palace of Repentance."

"Repentance Palace, isn't that..."

Both Ganju and Kukaku obviously knew what kind of place the Repentance Palace was, on the other hand, black cat Yoruichi not far away had a strange color flashing in her pupils.

She explained to the bewildered Ichigo and others what the Palace of Repentance was.

Ichigo suddenly became more anxious. He didn't expect that because of him, Rukia would be charged so seriously.

Kaein said again, "Don't worry, although she was imprisoned in the Palace of Repentance, she has not been sentenced for the time being, so there is nothing wrong with her, but with your strength, even if you enter Seireitei, it will be very difficult for you guys to rescue Rukia."

"Even so, I must rescue her." Ichigo expressed his determination.

Kaein said, "So, let me train you guys before Central 46's further sentence against Rukia."
