If even the sight can't keep up with the enemy...
Then how can he attack the enemy's body!
He couldn't see Senju Tobirama's figure at all. How could he shoot through this enemy's body with arrows? Ishida Uryu's thoughts raced!
The next moment, Ishida Uryu's body shot up from the ground!
This Quincy prodigy, awoken by Yhwach, paused at his feet, and his Hirenkyaku vanished from the spot. Spiritual Particles even gathered beneath him, lifting his body into the air!
Ishida Uryu's palm suddenly pulled up the Spirit Bow!
Arrows of light flew down toward the ground!
At this moment, relying on his intuition and his speculation of enemy attacks, Ishida Uryu believed that Senju Tobirama would attack his original position!
However, what Ishida Uryu didn't expect was that Senju Tobirama was floating in the air, arms calmly crossed, watching Ishida Uryu shoot countless arrows of light toward the ground...
The fifth seat officer of the Uehara Race flashed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth and slowly raised his finger, chanting the name of his Jutsu: "Hmph... such an ignorant and naive brat... Hadou: Water Release: Water Dragon Bomb Jutsu!"
Spiritual Particles detached from around Senju Tobirama, gradually forming roaring waves, transforming into a water dragon rushing toward Ishida Uryu!
The water dragon caught Ishida Uryu's body in an instant, directly slamming this Quincy into the ground unconscious!
Solved Ishida Uryu with just one move!
"Take him to the lab..."
"Wait!"
A loud voice interrupted Senju Tobirama!
Kurosaki Ichigo leaped onto the walls of Uehara City, brandishing his Zanpakuto, confronting Senju Tobirama. Sado Yasutora, Inoue Orihime, and Urahara Kisuke were also rushing over!
Unlike Kurosaki Ichigo's recklessness...
Urahara Kisuke and Shihoin Yoruichi had a heavy expression on their faces; they did not want Kurosaki Ichigo to clash with the Uehara Race!
If a conflict were to arise now...
Kurosaki Ichigo would undoubtedly not be a match for the Uehara Race!
Even Urahara Kisuke and Shihoin Yoruichi might ruin the hard-earned reconciliation with the Uehara Race!
Right now, it seems the only person they can rely on...
Urahara Kisuke slowly looked up to the other side of the wall at Uehara Naraku, who might be the only one capable of stopping this impending conflict.
Unfortunately, Uehara Naraku didn't seem to intend to intervene.
The ever-tolerant and kind young patriarch had a complex expression, looking at the unconscious Ishida Uryu lying on the ground, seeming somewhat disdainful and dissatisfied.
What exactly...
Is going on?
"Ichigo."
Uehara Naraku watched as Kurosaki Ichigo wanted to stop the affiliated Shinigami Squad of the Uehara Race from taking Ishida Uryu and gently advised, "Don't interfere with Mr. Tobirama..."
"But Ishida is my friend!"
Kurosaki Ichigo, full of displeasure, looked at Senju Tobirama in the sky, brandishing his Zanpakuto and pointing it at Senju Tobirama: "Hey, we've already negotiated with the Quiet Spirit Court. Everyone we brought must return, not one less!"
"Don't speak nonsense, Ichigo!"
Shihoin Yoruichi instantaneously appeared beside Kurosaki Ichigo, slapping him down directly!
Shihoin Yoruichi, suppressing Kurosaki Ichigo, looked up at Senju Tobirama with a smile: "Mr. Tobirama, this little guy is just a human and doesn't know much about the Quiet Spirit Court. He has been a bit disrespectful to you..."
Indeed.
The Quiet Spirit Court forgave Kurosaki Ichigo and his companions.
Because Kurosaki Ichigo and Aizen Sousuke were enemies, and with the pleading of the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads' captains on behalf of Ichigo and his companions, plus Ichigo being the son of former 10th Squad captain Kurosaki Ishin, the Quiet Spirit Court conceded.
However, the Uehara Race has no relations with the high command of the Quiet Spirit Court!
Truthfully, the Quiet Spirit Court's decisions may not get the Uehara Race's approval; it's not wise to offend the Uehara Race rashly.
Let alone the current Kurosaki Ishin...
Even several hundred years ago when Kurosaki Ishin's Shiba Clan was still among the aristocrats with the Kuchiki, Shihoin, and others, they dared not offend such a prestigious clan like the Uehara!
Moreover, Kurosaki Ishin has already retired and secluded himself.
"Hey hey hey hey..."
Kurosaki Ichigo struggled hard, trying to stand up.
However, Shihoin Yoruichi stepped on Kurosaki Ichigo's head, still smiling as she looked at Senju Tobirama: "Mr. Tobirama, human kids are generally impolite... Can I take them away first?"
"Them" naturally referred to Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryu.
Senju Tobirama's eyes were full of disdain. He pointed his finger at Ishida Uryu, looking coldly at Shihoin Yoruichi: "Shihoin Yoruichi, do you know the relationship between this Quincy kid and Yhwach?"
"Wha... what?"
Shihoin Yoruichi's expression stiffened slightly.
Because when Kurosaki Ichigo mentioned what Uehara Naraku had said, she certainly knew some parts and perhaps guessed that Ishida Uryu was in the Quiet Spirit Court to find Yhwach.
That's a millennium-old enemy of the Quiet Spirit Court!
But this kind of thing...
It should be without evidence, right?
"The Quincy ancestor is Yhwach."
Senju Tobirama, arms folded, lightly explained: "This kid has already contacted Yhwach and has been granted evil power by Yhwach. Their evil surpasses even the Uchiha... hmph..."
Senju Tobirama seemed to leak something, coughed a few times, and continued: "This kid is not merely an ordinary Quincy!
From his arrival in the Quiet Spirit Court to today, just in a few months, his power has undergone numerous transformations, and many Shinigami have witnessed this Quincy kid enter the shadow. That's precisely the shadow space where we've suspected Yhwach is hiding!
This kid used your entry into the Quiet Spirit Court to gain the power bestowed by Yhwach. Now that his goal has been achieved!
I suspect he is an assassin sent by Yhwach to kill Naraku, aiming to incite chaos in the Soul Society!
The Quincy clan has never meant well!
Two hundred years ago, the turmoil of the extermination against the Quincy was not a mistaken decision; the Quincy clan was unworthy of leniency!"
Senju Tobirama's gaze coldly scanned the people present, continuing in a cold voice: "I will propose to the Central 46 that any offspring of the Quincy, any human with Quincy bloodline, once their identity is verified, must be swiftly hunted and killed!"
"..."
Urahara Kisuke, Kuchiki Byakuya, and the others who followed couldn't help but change their expressions, each involuntarily exchanging glances.
If Senju Tobirama proposes this...
The Central 46 will definitely not deny this proposal!
After all, mere descendants of the Quincy, and coincidentally, the Quincy ancestor is a millennium-old enemy of the Soul Society, serving this on a platter to Senju Tobirama as a favor couldn't be better...
However, there's a problem with this...
That is, Kurosaki Ichigo is also a descendant of the Quincy!
Kurosaki Ichigo's mother, Kurosaki Masaki, was a pure-blood Quincy!
It's not easy to conceal this, because if the Uehara Race wanted to investigate, they could certainly uncover the relationship between Ishida Uryu's family and Kurosaki Ichigo's family!
Now...
It seems like trouble...
It's not just about wanting to save Ishida Uryu; it's also about getting Kurosaki Ichigo out of the Soul Society and finding a way to cover those traces!
Moreover, the suspicions surrounding Ishida Uryu are substantial.
They've witnessed Ishida Uryu's sudden surge in spiritual power, combined with the testimonies of the Shinigami Squad chasing Ishida Uryu, confirming that Ishida Uryu did indeed enter some shadow space...
Honestly...
There is quite a bit of evidence.
"Ichigo."
Uehara Naraku slowly walked towards Kurosaki Ichigo, reaching out to help Kurosaki Ichigo up.
Facing Kurosaki Ichigo's confused gaze, Uehara Naraku softly said, "Ishida Uryu will be temporarily detained within Uehara City. Once Mr. Madara and General Captain Yamamoto capture Yhwach and uncover all the truths, his innocence will be restored."
After saying that, Uehara Naraku, full of sincerity, said: "Until then, I will ensure Mr. Tobirama does not trouble them... As friends who once fought side by side, do you now trust my promise?"
