In the evening, Mazuru went back for a trip.
After all, he was the leader of the team stationed in the world of living, so it was not easy to disappear for too long, but after returning, he just learned that Rangiku and others found the location of the Urahara store under the leadership of Rukia, and asked Kisuke for help and he provided them with a special training place.
Not only them, even Sado and Orihime went to Kisuke, and Kisuke even asked Renji to liberate his Zanpakuto and train with Sado.
For this reason, Mazuru went to the Urahara store and asked Kisuke and Yoruichi to help them, but he did not say anything about the special training for Rukia and others because he knew that they would conduct special training with the same purpose as Ichigo, that is, the arrival of arrancars and fighting against them, brought them a sense of crisis.
Time passed by slowly.
Everyone's strength, with the special training during this period, was improving in an orderly manner. Ichigo's grasp of his hollow power was also constantly getting stronger. In the original work, until the time when he sneaked into Hueco Mundo, Ichigo's grasp of his hollowfication was only maintained at 11 seconds, but with the help of Mazuru, Ichigo had almost unlimited stamina, plus Shinji and others could also maintain their hollowfication for a long time and train him continuously while taking turns. As he fought, his hollowfication time also continued to improve, and finally reached 20 seconds, which seemed to be not long, but in a critical battle, these 20 seconds could be the key to turning the tide of battle.
In the Urahara store, Sado and several shinigami were also undergoing special training. Orihime's ability was quite special. Kisuke couldn't teach her too much, so he let her practice alone.
Although Orihime was very disappointed about this, she also silently accepted the fact.
…
Today, Orihime left the Urahara store alone, ready to go home.
Suddenly, the sky changed, and a garganta emerged.
With the appearance of the garganta, a powerful reiatsu swept across in an instant.
In the Urahara store, Kisuke, Yoruichi and the shinigami who were training there feelt it at the same time, and stopped their training.
"Is it the guy from that day?"
Yoruichi asked Kisuke.
Kisuke nodded, "I'm afraid so."
Knowing the answer, whether it was Yoruichi or the other shinigami, all of them looked dignified.
This kind of reiatsu was by no means comparable to that of ordinary arrancars. It could only be the arrancars of the level that appeared during the first appearance of arrancars.
In the abandoned factory, Mazuru also dispelled the crimson barrier quickly.
The Visored also stopped what they were doing and had serious expressions.
Ichigo was puzzled why they stopped suddenly, Shinji told Ichigo the answer, "Those guys, they have appeared again."
"Those guys?"
"Arrancar." Shinji responded, "And it's not a normal arrancar, it's at least the level of the arrancar named Yammy that you encountered that day."
"Yammy…"
Hearing this name from Shinji, Ichigo immediately remembered the humiliating battle. At that time, he was so helpless and powerless. Now that he knew that it was an arrancar of Yammy's level who appeared this time, Ichigo immediately asked to go out and fight against it. It just happened that he had temporarily mastered his hollow powers through the continuous training recently, and it could be barely considered a great improvement in strength. He could just use the arrancars to measure his strength.
Shinji and others did not stop Ichigo either.
However, unexpectedly, after the powerful reiatsu spread, the arrancar, who came to the world of living, seemed to be not planning to cause destruction at all, and quickly hid its reiatsu.
All of a sudden, everything returned to calm, it seemed to have never been in this world.
Only Orihime who had returned home, had a very complicated expression.
The arrancar that appeared, did not cause any damage to the world of living during the day, but he found her and gave her a choice. If she was willing to accept that choice, it was naturally the best. If she was not willing to accept it, then they would deal with Karakura Town in the worst way possible.
During this period of time, her partners have been undergoing intense special training in order to protect the world. Orihime saw all of this. Originally, she was also planning to conduct special training, but her ability was so rare that even Kisuke couldn't help her.
So in the end, she still couldn't help her friends.
"No, if I go to Hueco Mundo with him, I can protect this town, and as long as my companions are safe, it doesn't matter if I sacrifice myself."
Orihime thought so, she thought of the arrancar named Ulquiorra who appeared in front of her and showed her some pictures, some were the town she lived in, and some were with her companions beside her.
The other party threatened her with the people she cared about the most, and it had to be said that they really pinched Orihime's weakness.
At night, Mazuru stayed at Sado's house with Renji, Ikkaku and Yumichika. They inevitably talked about the powerful reiatsu reaction during the day and speculated about the purpose of the arrancar.
When he came to the world of living, he didn't make much noise, so it seemed that he had other motives.
When they asked how Mazuru viewed this matter, Mazuru's answer was not much clear.
Does he really not know?
The answer was negative.
He knew exactly what was going on.
With Ichigo undergoing special training and gradually mastering the power of hollow, Aizen also started the second phase of the plan.
After mastering hollowfication, it's time to give Ichigo a fight to digest his newfound power.
So, through some means, Ichigo's companion Orihime was kidnapped. With Ichigo's record where he sneaked into the Soul Society for Rukia and made a big fuss in the Soul Society. Now, similarly for Orihime, he would sneak into Hueco Mundo, it was almost inevitable.
At the same time, the act of abducting Orihime had several layers of purpose.
First, Aizen was somewhat interested in Orihime's ability, after all, it violates the power of the realm of gods. Second, if he could guide Ichigo into Hueco Mundo, it might be able to divide the power of the Soul Society as well. Of course, the main reason was that he doesn't want Ichigo to disturb his plan and just continue to get stronger.
