He struggled to form a pistol gesture with his hand pointing backward, and at this moment, a small bow had clearly taken shape on Ichigo's hand, with a small arrow nocked!
"Is this... a Quincy technique?" Tosen realized in surprise.
Dead memories suddenly attacked him.
He remembered many years ago, a woman named Kurosaki Masaki defeated Hollow White with such a technique!
At that time, he was extremely ashamed because Hollow White was so easily defeated!
But now, this hand-bow technique appeared before him again, aimed at him!
Tosen was enraged: 'Damn it, how could I suffer from the same move twice!'
Tosen shook Suzumushi even more violently, wanting to pull the sword from Ichigo's chest!
The problem was he faced the same predicament as Ichigo earlier.
That is, the sword was held firmly, and he didn't have a skill like Getsuga Tensho that could detonate inside the body!
Moreover, in this space, he could give up anything, but never Suzumushi!
Thus, Tosen could only watch helplessly as Ichigo aimed and charged!
Then, feeling he had charged to a level that could still severely injure someone even after being weakened by Enma Korogi, Ichigo released the arrow!
A dazzling light instantly struck Tosen's chest!
Boom!
Hit by Ichigo's ultra-small moonlight arrow, just like Ichigo taking Tenken's slash, Tosen was sent flying heavily backward!
Simultaneously, the dark space of Enma Korogi shattered!
When Ichigo and Tosen reappeared before everyone, what greeted them was a shocking scene!
Ichigo half-kneeled on the ground, Suzumushi embedded in his chest, flowing blood pooling beneath his knees, forming a small stream!
And Tosen lay heavily fallen not far behind Ichigo.
He was supine, blood gushing from his mouth like a spring, his entire chest caved in as if hit by a car, broken ribs piercing internal organs, more air exhaled than inhaled!
Seeing this, Unohana, who had been leisurely treating the other three Captains, had to Shunpo to Tosen's front, immediately stabilizing Tosen's injuries! Then with another Shunpo, Unohana brought Tosen to lie beside the other three Captains, all in a row.
Only then did Unohana discover multiple organ ruptures and severe internal bleeding within Tosen's body!
Without exaggeration, if she weren't here today, Tosen would have died on the spot within a minute!
"This young man!"
Unohana glanced at Ichigo in astonishment, a strong desire to nurture talent rising in her heart. Defeating four Captains in succession, even with her healing assistance, was an astonishing feat.
Such a peerless fierce man, even Unohana, the original Kenpachi, hadn't encountered in a long time.
If this were a thousand years ago, she would absolutely have to get Ichigo into the 11th Division, make him her Lieutenant, then lock him in a small dark room every day to accompany her in venting desires.
Unohana looked at Rukia beside her and asked: "That young man, is he called Kurosaki Ichigo, right?"
"Hmm!" Rukia nodded, gazing infatuatedly at Ichigo's back, immensely proud.
"Heh..." Ignoring the lovestruck Rukia, Unohana looked at Ichigo and said gently: "Ichigo, that's enough. Come receive treatment!"
"You've proven yourself. With your strength, the Captain-Commander will definitely seriously reconsider Rukia's sentence!"
Hearing Unohana's words, before Ichigo could even respond, the live stream comments erupted.
"Hahahaha, 'commit crimes then receive amnesty'… the ancients didn't lie!"
"Yeah, as Captain-Commander, facing such a tough character who cut down four Captains, wouldn't you want to recruit him?"
"Speaking of which, Ichigo has finally made it through!"
"I never thought Ichigo would actually do it. Truly fierce!"
"Gotta say, indeed! Rukia-chan has no regrets now!"
"Fast forward to the wedding, please!"
Everyone discussed Ichigo's future.
However, perhaps only Ichigo himself knew he absolutely could not be recruited.
If he, a Ryoka who disrupted the Soul Society's situation, was recruited, what would be left for Aizen?
Standing up somewhat unsteadily, Ichigo prepared for battle.
"You, still want to fight?"
Looking at Ichigo ahead, Hitsugaya's expression was puzzled.
"Yeah, Kurosaki Ichigo, enough. Rukia definitely doesn't want you to continue fighting either!"
After Hitsugaya spoke, Rangiku also spoke up to persuade.
But looking at the two from the 10th Division ahead, Ichigo just faintly shook his head.
"Hey, haven't you noticed? It's not about whether I want to fight, but whether you want to fight!"
Saying this, after many battles, Ichigo's sharp eyes swept over Rangiku and Hitsugaya.
Swept by Ichigo's sharp gaze, Rangiku tensed up, startled, but based on her friendship with Rukia, she still asked:
"We want to fight? The Captain and I naturally support Rukia!"
"The fight is over, Kurosaki Ichigo!" Rangiku said.
Looking at the blood-soaked Ichigo, a touch of emotion also appeared in Rangiku's eyes, "It's enough, Kurosaki Ichigo. You've done enough for Rukia!"
However, no matter what Rangiku said, neither Ichigo nor Hitsugaya responded, as if not hearing.
Rangiku found it strange.
Only then did she realize Ichigo's gaze swept past her and Hitsugaya, not looking at them. Ichigo was looking behind them!
Suddenly sensing a somewhat familiar Reiatsu, Rangiku turned to look behind!
Sure enough, that familiar fox-like smiling face appeared before her eyes again.
"Gin!" Rangiku called.
Hearing Rangiku call his name, Gin's fox-like smile became slightly more genuine, though imperceptibly.
However, for what was taken from Rangiku, he couldn't be honest about his feelings now!
"Please call me Captain Ichimaru, Lieutenant Rangiku!"
"And who told you we could recruit Ryoka?"
"The orders we received were always only to apprehend or kill!!!"
Saying this, Gin smiled at everyone: "Or are you planning to defy the Captain-Commander's orders?"
"Ichimaru Gin, you!" Hearing Gin's words, Hitsugaya gritted his teeth angrily.
But precisely because the Captain-Commander was invoked, they couldn't refute.
However, Hitsugaya was no pushover either. Taking two steps toward Gin, Hitsugaya said forcefully:
"I will explain to the Captain-Commander!"
"We've already lost four Captains. We can't afford more losses!"
"Let the fighting end here. I'll bear all consequences!"
Hitsugaya's words made the live stream audience, who had become worried again upon Gin's arrival, feel reassured.
"Well said, little Hitsugaya!"
"Hitsugaya is indeed a good person!"
Everyone cheered for him.
But what a fox Gin was! He easily seized the flaw in Hitsugaya's words!
"We've already lost four Captains, so we can't afford more losses."
"Hehe, Captain Hitsugaya, are you saying we Captains of Seireitei are cowards who fear death?" Gin asked pointedly.
Then, before Hitsugaya could retort, Gin interrupted:
"Or does Captain Hitsugaya think Seireitei's dignity is worth only that much? With such concessions, how will you face the four fallen Captains before you?"
"Weren't they fighting for Seireitei's dignity against the Ryoka?"
Faced with Gin's interrogation, Hitsugaya fell silent.
Undoubtedly, the cunning fox Gin had cornered Hitsugaya!
But then, Hitsugaya suddenly recalled the questioning of Gin by Aizen when the Captain's Meeting adjourned earlier!
Aizen believed the entire Ryoka invasion was manipulated by Gin… otherwise, the timing couldn't be so coincidental, just resolving Gin's predicament.
Now, after watching, Hitsugaya felt Ichigo wasn't directed by Gin, but someone was definitely using Ichigo and the others behind the scenes… Wanting to achieve ulterior motives!
And this person was very likely Gin!
