Until then enjoy.
I don't own any of this
Chapter 4: Ichigo's new adventure is about to unfold part 4
Last time: "Ichigo went to train with Shinji of squad 5 to learn how to improve his Hollowfication time limit and that lasted for a few days until his inner hollow who Ichigo calls him Shiro now, helped him out by giving him a bit of a power boost and during their sparring and Ichigo's mask changed a bit he can now do Ceros from either from his horns or from the tips of his fingers of his left hand and after beating Shinji he passed, the next day Shinji help Ichigo decided who he trains with next with a coin toss."
After Shinji tossed the coin in the air, it came back down and he caught it and placed it on the top of his right hand covering it.
"Ok Ichigo your call." He said.
"Ok I pick squad 9." Said Ichigo.
"Ok let's see what the coin says." Said Shinji.
Shinji took his left hand off the coin and it reveals that it landed on squad 9.
"Ok Ichigo looks like you call it." Said Shinji.
"Right if I remember, Kensei has reclaimed his post as captain after I kicked Aizen's ass." Said Ichigo.
"That's right Ichigo, and also Mashiro has reclaimed her post at Lt of squad 9 and she's sharing it with Shuhei and don't worry she went to visit Hiyori and the others back in the living world." Said Shinji.
"Let me guess that snaggletooth bitch hasn't learn to keep her temper in check?" said Ichigo in a annoyed voice.
Shinji got an annoyed look on his face as well "Afraid not and she's still insist that you call her Ms. Hiyori." Said Shinji.
"Maybe I would call her that if she learned to cool off and control her temper." Said Ichigo.
"I hate to interrupt this, but Ichigo you still have training to do." Said Ukitake making the 2 did a double take.
"Right." They said.
So Shinji lead Ichigo to where squad 9 was.
"So how did things with the old man go?" Ichigo asked as they walked.
"Well he wanted to know how your training went and also he's getting his left arm back into its fighting form." Said Shinji.
"So Orihime restore it then? I thought he would be annoyed." Said Ichigo.
Shinji chuckled "Of course he was, but one 'scary smile' from Unohana made him behave and Orihime was able to restore his arm."
Ichigo couldn't help but laugh at that and he wished he could've seen that.
Luckily Shinji got a video camera he borrowed from Unohana and showed Ichigo and he bust a gut laughing at the video.
"Oh my god that is priceless!" Ichigo laughed.
"Yeah it is but I better give it back before Unohana loses her temper." Said Shinji.
"Right then." Said Ichigo.
"Oh by the way, my Lt Momo has been asking me about you, seems you caught her eye." Said Shinji.
"What do you mean by that?" said Ichigo.
"Don't worry I'll tell you after you finish your training with Kensei and then Rose but I'll warn you he's strict with training." Said Shinji.
"Gotcha, so what will he teach me?" Ichigo asked.
"You'll find out." Said Shinji.
The two kept on walking until they arrived at squad 9 barracks where Shuhei was waiting for them.
"Ichigo, Captain Hirako you've arrived." Said Shuhei.
"Hey Shuhei I take you here to escort Ichigo to Kensei." Said Shinji.
"Yes Captain I'll take Ichigo to where Captain Kensei is for training." Said Shuhei.
"Ok then, good luck Ichigo you going to need it." Said Shinji.
With that Shinji flash step away to return the camera.
Shuhei then led Ichigo to where Kensei was waiting.
As they walked, they began chatting.
"So Shuhei I know we don't get to talk much but how are you doing with Kensei being the captain?" Ichigo asked.
"Well I will admit, it did felt a bit weird for a Vizard to be captain again after 100 years, but since it was the same one who saved me back then, I got used to it but I will say that Mashiro can be a bit of a pain sometimes." Said Shuhei.
"I agree how did Kensei and the other Vizards put up with her, I'm surprised that Hiyori hasn't blasted her with a cero yet." Said Ichigo.
"True, but despite that she is strong in own her right." Added Shuhei.
"Yeah that's true." Replied Ichigo.
The two kept talking about other things and it took them about 28 minutes before they arrived at the destination.
They arrived at the squad 9 training grounds where Kensei was finishing up his own practice.
He then sheathed his Zanpakuto back in its scabbard and then took a deep breath and turned to see Ichigo and Shuhei coming up.
"Ichigo, Shuhei you came." He said.
"Hey Kensei how's it going?" said Ichigo.
"Not much Ichigo, just finished up my own training, so I'm guessing that you being here means you want me to teach you." Kensei inquired.
"Yes, I learned a bit from Shinji and he can tell you that I have gain a bit more powers and such." Said Ichigo.
"I can tell, your powers are getting stronger and it will get stronger still." Said Kensei.
"So what will you teach me Kensei?" asked Ichigo.
"Well I will teach you to increase your durability while Hollowfied." He said.
"Ok then I take it you won't be holding back." Said Ichigo.
"Correct Ichigo and I'll be hollowfied as well for the training." Said Kensei.
"What about me captain?" asked Shuhei.
"Shuhei I want you to observe us training and only stop it if it gets out of hand." Said Kensei.
"Understood captain." Said Shuhei.
"Ichigo in case you're wondering I sent all of soldiers back to the barracks so there's no need to worry." Kensei explained.
"Ok then are you ready Kensei?" said Ichigo.
"Of course but first things first. Kensei said as he drew his Zanpakutō.
'Now Blow it Away Tachikaze!'
Kensei was swirled by air currents, before enveloping Tachikaze, which transforms into a combat knife with a bronze guard, light purple hilt-wrapping in the center of the hilt, a gray leather grip, and a small ring on the guard's blunt side.
"Ok then time for me to get serious as well Bankai!" said Ichigo.
He activated his Bankai and went Tensa Zangetsu.
Shuhei felt the spiritual pressure coming from them and decided use Danku to protect himself.
"This will get crazy." He said.
Both Ichigo and Kensei were taking their positions and then they Hollowfied and now their powers has increased.
"You ready Ichigo?" said Kensei in a distorted voice.
"Yes." Ichigo answered.
Both warriors readied themselves and then charge towards each other.
