Death: Captain Millennium

The door of the Kurosaki family slowly opened, and Ichigo walked in with a serious face and went straight to the point: "Dad, I'm going to Soul Society to save Rukia. She has been sentenced to death." His words revealed determination, and he was ready for everything.

However, upon hearing this news, Isshin nearly choked on the cigarette in his mouth and couldn't help coughing. "What did you say? Going to Soul Society to rob an execution ground? Just you?" His voice suddenly rose eight degrees, thinking this was a ridiculous idea.

"Is it not possible?" Ichigo frowned and asked Isshin.

"Do you know how powerful Soul Society is? There are thirteen divisions there! Each division is made up of elites and is extremely powerful. With your current abilities, going to Soul Society is simply courting death." Isshin pointed out Ichigo's shortcomings without mercy.

However, Isshin was shocked to realize that Ichigo had lost all his spiritual pressure. "What happened to your spiritual pressure?" he asked nervously.

"Geta Hat said that my 'Lock Knot' and 'Posume' were destroyed." Ichigo explained helplessly.

"Who did it!" Yi Xin almost jumped up.

"Um... Captain of the Sixth Division, Byakuya Kuchiki." Ichigo hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

"Well! That brat from the Kuchiki family actually dared to attack you. Didn't you tell him who you are?" Yixin widened his eyes, his tone full of anger and disbelief.

"Huh? Do I have to introduce myself when fighting?" Ichigo asked in confusion. He really couldn't understand this rule.

Isshin looked at Ichigo like he was an idiot, feeling a surge of helplessness. How could such a smart man like him give birth to such an idiot son? What a shame! Such a disgrace!

"Are you an idiot? If you don't tell me who he is going to kill, who else will he kill?" Isshin glared at Ichigo, his face full of disappointment. He had originally thought that his son should understand these principles, but now it seems that he needs more teaching and training.

Ichigo was a bit bewildered by his father's words. He had never thought of announcing one's affiliation before a fight. To him, a fight was just a fight, no rules. However, he also realized that he might have made a stupid mistake, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"What did you say? You have lost even the power of the Shinigami, and you still want to go to Soul Society to save people? What are you going to use to save them? Your head?" Kurosaki Isshin stared at Kurosaki Ichigo with wide eyes. His son was such an idiot.

"Clog Hat said he has a way to help me restore my power as a Shinigami." Kurosaki Ichigo said stubbornly.

"Then why did you come back? Why don't you just go find him directly?" Kurosaki Isshin said unhappily.

"He said this method is rather dangerous. If it fails, I might become a Hollow, so he asked me to come back to ask for your opinion." Kurosaki Ichigo lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Kurosaki Isshin fell silent, while Masaki, who was doing housework nearby, retorted without hesitation: "No! I will never allow you to do such a risky thing." She put down the housework in her hands and quickly walked up to Kurosaki Ichigo.

Maternal love is great. No matter how great the difficulties and dangers are, a mother will not hesitate to protect her children. Masaki is such an example at this moment. She is unwilling to let her son fall into danger.

After a long silence, Isshin finally managed to utter a word: "Urahara Kisuke, that shameless fellow, wants to drag me down with him."

"Are you really ready? This could be fatal." Isshin stared at Ichigo, his eyes full of worry and tension, as if he wanted to see a hint of retreat in his son's eyes.

However, Ichigo's eyes were extremely determined, as if burning with a flame, "I'm serious. As long as I can regain the power of the Shinigami and go to Soul Society to save Rukia, I'm willing to do anything, even if it means sacrificing my life!"

Yixin was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly: "I understand..."

Masaki was still protesting, "Isshin, how could you do this? Ichigo is our child!"

Isshin looked at his wife's excited expression, and a wave of guilt welled up in his heart, but he still said firmly: "Masaki, the child has grown up. He has his own ideas. Don't you think this kid is quite like me? Back then, to save you, I gave up the power of the god of death without hesitation. Now, it's his turn to make a choice."

After hearing what her husband said, Masaki's eyes flashed with helplessness and heartache. She held Ichigo's hand tightly and said softly: "Ichigo, Mom respects your decision, but please come back alive."

Ichigo felt the warmth of his mother's palm and nodded vigorously, tears in his eyes, "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely come back alive!"

After Ichigo rushed to Urahara's shop, Isshin was still comforting Masaki. He said with a relaxed look, "Don't worry, I've already found out everything. That shameless fellow Lin Yu has also returned to Soul Society. With him around, Ichigo will definitely be fine."

Masaki frowned and said worriedly, "I'm not worried that Ichigo will be in danger, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to regain the power of the Shinigami, and then he might face death."

Isshin confidently comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Who is Ichigo? He's my son, Shiba Isshin's child! How could such a small difficulty possibly stump him?"

After hearing this, Masaki felt a little relieved, but still had some doubts: "You just said that Captain Lin Yu returned to Soul Society?" She seemed a little slow to react, and it took her a while to realize the importance of this news.

Isshin nodded and explained, "Yeah, I just got the news too. If that shameless Urahara Kisuke hadn't called me in advance to tell me about this, I would never have let Ichigo take the risk. After all, those guys in Soul Society are not so easy to deal with."

After hearing this, Masaki finally felt relieved. She knew that as long as Lin Yu returned to Soul Society, Ichigo would be well protected.

"Masaki, can you tell me honestly now? Where does your power as a Shinigami come from?"

Now that things had come to this, Masaki felt there was no need to hide it any further. So, she slowly spoke, "My power as a Shinigami was granted by Captain Hayashi. After I lost my Quincy powers, one day when I went to pick Ichigo up from school, I was attacked by a Hollow. At that moment, Captain Hayashi suddenly appeared and killed the Hollow. Not only that, he also made me a Shinigami. Ichigo also saw him during that incident, but the memory of that event was later sealed away."

Isshin blew out a smoke ring, his expression as if to be expected. "Lin Yu, that old man, is such a complete jerk. During his battle with Aizen, we actually thought he was dead. But not only did he not die, he even pretended to be seriously injured and became a normal person. Why do I feel like he's behind all this, setting a trap for Aizen? If that's the case, then it's too boring. Do people who live long enough have such a bad taste?"

Masaki listened to Isshin's complaints about Lin Yu. "How could you frame someone like that? If Captain Lin Yu hadn't intervened, I would have been devoured by the Hollow long ago, you heartless person."

I scoffed. "What's wrong with me saying a few words to that old man? Does he dare to do it and not admit it?"
