In Squad 4's barracks, Isane along with other Shinigami treated several injured including Ichigo, Rukia, and Renji. Then around several months later, Ichigo and Renji encountered Oetsu Nimaiya, one of Squad Zero member who creates Asauchi for Shinigami in Soul Society.
The both fighting against the asauchi that Oetsu gathered around them but the result is Renji is passed managed to defeat them which mean his Zabimaru can be repaired, as for Ichigo, since his power are kinda complicated, he couldn't passed so he's fail and his Zangetsu won't be repaired or reforged as the result and telling him to go home.
Back to human world, Ichigo confronts his father Isshin in Unagiya's house but since she can't see him, Ichigo suddenly come back home to talk with him. Ichigo learns if he's not a shinigami nor a human either, he's the mixing blood of Shinigami/Hollow and Quincy due to his mother, Masaki and his father, Isshin are both pure-blooded even Masaki had got Hollowfication for while thanks to White's infection power within her.
Because of that, as the result Ichigo possessed an Inner-Hollow within him along with Quincy's power. Even Juhabach noticed him as "My son who born from the darkness."
After learning behind his birth, Ichigo thanks to his father and on the outside, Ikumi came to give back Ichigo's badge back after left behind in her house. Then Mera comes suddenly to pick Ichigo back into Oetsu's place.
Back to Oetsu's place in Soul Society, Oetsu noticed Ichigo learns about himself, then he picked one of Asauchi, it reveals in the form of his inner-hollow. Much on his surprised, Oetsu personally reforged Ichigo's Zangetsu.
While reforging Ichigo's zanpakutou, Oetsu telling him about the truth of fake Zangetsu and Hollow Ichigo, who actually his real zanpakutou. Ichigo's face such a shocked while know the truth about his zanpakutou.
This is just the beginning of Ichigo's true Zangetsu about to show up…
In the Ichigo's inner-world, he encountered the old-man once again with rains on the place.
"Tell me, is that really true?!" Ichigo said with confused face.
"Just like what you've heard before, Ichigo. I'm not Zangetsu." Old-man said while the inner-world about to crumbling.
"Are you really Juhabach?! Are you not really 'Zangetsu'?!" Ichigo asked once again on that old-man.
"I am Juhabach also not him either. I'm the power who manifested from your Quincy power." Old-man said to Ichigo.
"I don't really get it. Are you my enemy or ally?! Is all of you said back then was just a lie?! Answer me!" Ichigo look seems angry with that.
Old-man just quite but seems pretty looks so sad a bit.
"I'm not your ally or enemy but what I'm told you back then wasn't a lie at all." Old-man said as he looked at him.
Ichigo seems quiet now but the same time bit confused.
"Ichigo, it seems you're already noticed about this…" Old-man said to Ichigo.
"About what..?!" He asked to Old-man
"When I'm teaching you how to use your zanpakutou, I'm always using Hollow's power." Old-man starts to telling him about who is always protect him.
Ichigo slightly finally figured it out and listening his words…
"When you can't using your zanpakutou's power, when your life nearly in danger, the one who saved you… wasn't me but your Hollow, Ichigo." Old-man telling him about who's his real saver.
Ichigo suddenly felt odd when noticing about that when thinking about when his life nearest danger.
'I see, so he's the one who saved for all time even its kinda felt odd but I don't know if he really care that much.' Ichigo thought that on his mind about his inner-hollow.
"I don't want you to become a Shinigami. That's why I'm tried to surpassed your true potential and trying to be your main core of your power." Old-man said with sorrow face.
"Why?!" Ichigo asked to old-man while wondering why.
"If you become a Shinigami, you don't have not choice to get hurt or to fight and will suffering. Until one day, I will kill you with my own hand, Ichigo." Old-man said seriously at Ichigo.
Ichigo, who looked at Old-man with bit frightened look then something appears on him while himself still looks confused and felt awkward for what happen.
"I won't let you to became a Shinigami, or not I'm must killed you. That's what I thought." Old-man as something appeared on his hands.
'Old-man, you…' Ichigo started to think about him.
"But then, you became Shinigami with that you had a chance to trained hard and even you're hurt that badly and suffered, eventually choosen that way." He told to Ichigo.
Ichigo looked at old-man with sad face knowing him will doing like that even without telling at him.
"Everytime seen you like this, my heart always worried. In the end, not to stopping you become Shinigami, my heart eventually helping you to across that way."
"Old-man…" Ichigo said with sorrow face once again.
"And now, this what is like… I'm also will retread happily. Ichigo, you're more stronger, I can see you grown up. As long I'm with you, nothing can make me more happier again. I'm really satisfied." Old-man said as that thing appears in front of Ichigo.
"Wait a minute, Zangetsu… I'm still not—" Ichigo still talk but he's cut off.
"Ichigo, what are you using until now is just half of your power which I can't holded. Now, you can use with your own full strength. Take it, Ichigo. Its your true Zanpakutou, "Zangetsu"!" Old-man said as he slowly disappeared from Ichigo.
The bright light flashed so big, what will happen to Ichigo?! Is that really his true Zangetsu its finally done?! It'll about to show up soon.

#Author's note:
I'm realize this new chapters of Bleach became more interesting especially around Ichigo's new Zangetsu which became a dual-sword Zanpakutou like Shuhei, Kyoraku, and Ukitake as well. That's why I'm inspired to make the fanfics version of this two chapter (540 – 542). On this chapter, more looks into Chapter 540 and 541 but I'm using chapter 541 as the main conversation on this first chapter of fanfics.
Btw enjoy the reading and please to review this mini story ^^
