Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 321 Everyone goes home, everyone goes to find their own way...

The intervention of the Spirit King Palace is naturally a major event.

Of course, it's a good thing.

With the highest authority currently in vacancies, the fact that the powerful Zero Division is willing to step forward and take charge has reassured everyone considerably.

Except for one person.

"whispering sound....

'

The bird raised its hand and patted the shoulder where the golden-white butterfly had just landed, with a hint of disdain.

"This is utterly absurd." Asuka turned her head slightly and glanced at the captains who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. "You're dragging me into a meeting about your Seireitei affairs?"

He grabbed Shinobu's hand and turned to leave: "Shinobu, let's go."

Having said that, he was about to use Instant Step to leave this devastated ruin.

"Wait, Asuka! You idiot, stop right there!"

A black afterimage flashed past and blocked the bird's path.

Yoruichi spread her arms wide, and the look in her eyes was completely different from before.

Asuka paused, her brow furrowed. "Master Yoruichi, didn't you just say these things had nothing to do with me? Why are you blocking my way again?"

"The situation is different now." Yoruichi's voice was grave. "If it were the Thirteenth Division asking you to stay, you could ignore it... but this is the Zero Division!"

"What's wrong with Squad Zero again?"

"You don't understand what that message meant... Their will represents the highest law of this world."

.

Yoruichi stepped forward, looking directly into Asuka's defiant eyes: "I know you're dissatisfied with the Seireitei, and I know you've become stronger through your own efforts..."

'

"But don't get too arrogant, kid."

"Although the Zero Division only has five members, the combat power of any one of them is enough to rival that of the entire Gotei 13."

""

Upon hearing these words, Asuka's expression finally changed.

Yoruichi quickly added, "If you insist on leaving now, it will be disobeying the Soul King's orders. Perhaps nothing will happen, or perhaps it will incur the wrath of the Thunder King."

"In short, I hope you've thought this through." She glanced at Shinobu Kocho, who remained silent beside Asuka: "Why don't you try to persuade him too..."

""

"Flying birds..."

A gentle touch came from my palm.

Shinobu Kocho grasped Asuka's large hand and gently squeezed it.

She knew that Asuka was a wandering spirit and had no affection for the Grim Reapers, so she stood on his side from the beginning.

But Yoruichi-san has already said that...

"Miss Yoruichi is right, the orders from the Zero Division are of utmost importance."

"Furthermore, I've been in the Fourth Division all these years, and the Master and the others are living well in Rukongai."

"Let's wait three days and see what they have to say. If things don't look good, we can leave later."

Seeing Shinobu's pleading eyes, Asuka's raging anger slowly subsided.

It's hard to say whether it was influenced by the Avengers' spirit origin or because he devoured the evil of this world...

Asuka's emotions are particularly easily stirred up now.

...Yeah, what's the big deal? It's just a few days. Why get angry?

He exhaled a long breath, calming the inexplicable restlessness in his heart.

66

...I understand. I hope it's not a waste of time.

Seeing that he had finally behaved himself, Yoruichi breathed a sigh of relief and rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Then it's settled. Don't cause any trouble these next few days."

Seeing that the crisis had passed, Shinobu Kocho gently tugged at Asuka's sleeve and said softly, "Let's go to Rukongai these next few days, to Lord Kagaya's house."

"Brother Xingming, Madam Tianyin, and Chuyi... We've all been thinking of you every day all these years."

"They'll be so happy to know you're back."

When Asuka mentioned those long-lost friends, her eyes softened completely.

"Okay, let's go home."

Like two ordinary travelers, they walked side by side down the broken stone steps, slowly heading towards Rukongai.

The sunlight shone on them, casting long shadows that eventually overlapped.

Watching Asuka and Shinobu's departing figures, Kyoraku Shunsui had unknowingly walked up to Yoruichi's side.

He looked intently at the former Commander-in-Chief of the Covert Mobile Force, his tone tinged with a hint of probing: "Although the officials of the Spirit King's Palace didn't explicitly say so, since the Spirit King's order is to summon all surviving captains..."

"Your Highness, it would be best if you also attended the meeting three days from now."

Yoruichi paused slightly, turned her head to look at the devastated Sōkichi Hill, and said nothing.

"Although nominally you and Urahara are still traitors to Soul Society..." Kyoraku Shunsui sighed and continued, "But after what happened with Aizen today, many things are already self-evident."

"There must be some hidden story behind the blurring incident back then that we don't know about."

He looked directly into Yoruichi's eyes: "I have always had doubts about the verdict back then, and I don't think you and Urahara would be the kind of villains who harm their colleagues."

"Now that the truth is about to come out, it would be best if we could take advantage of the arrival of the Zero Division to explain what happened back then and clear your names."

"Furthermore, the Soul Society... desperately needs your strength right now."

Kyoraku Shunsui spoke these words with utmost sincerity.

If we could bring back Yoruichi Shihouin and Kisuke Urahara, both powerful fighters and strategists, it would be a great help to the chaotic Soul Society.

Yoruichi remained silent for a long time, a gentle breeze ruffling her long purple hair.

66

"I'll discuss it with Kisuke." Yoruichi finally gave an ambiguous answer.

But then she smiled nonchalantly, her tone returning to its usual carefree manner: "However, Chunshui, don't expect too much."

.

"Even if I do come back to attend the meeting and clear my name, I will never take over the Second Division again and continue to be a Shinigami captain."

She stretched, exuding a lazy, feline charm: "To be a free and unrestrained cat in the real world, basking in the sun every day, occasionally disciplining those arrogant brats... I would be extremely satisfied with that kind of life."

"Let's leave this heavy burden to that little guy, Yushiro."

Hearing this answer, Kyoraku Shunsui felt a little disappointed and could only shake his head with a wry smile: "Whatever... Just your attendance is already a great help."

With the decision made, no one had any reason to stay on this scorched earth any longer.

Toshiro dared not delay any longer and carried the mentally broken Hinamori Momo to the Fourth Division.

Kaien and Ukitake discussed the upcoming team affairs, while Kuchiki Byakuya checked whether any surviving members of the Execution Army were still alive.

Rukia...

'

Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai had faded, and he leaned on the massive Zangetsu: "Are you... alright?"

Rukia, who had just been saved by Shinobu Kocho, looked at the orange-haired boy covered in blood in front of her and her eyes reddened.

"Ichigo, you're such an idiot." Rukia's voice trembled slightly, but also carried the relief of a comrade: "Didn't I tell you not to come...? You brought this on yourself..."

"Huh? You ungrateful bastard." Ichigo gave a tired smile and plopped down next to Rukia.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're alright."

"If you really get roasted, Shirley and Yuzu will be heartbroken."

Rukia felt both annoyed and amused, and weakly punched him: "...Thanks, buddy."
