Reborn in Konoha; I Think I’m Cultivating Immortality

Somewhere in Karakura Town, a huge figure with a burly build and a crown slowly materialized.

"The human world, truly overflowing with the stench of the weak."

The speaker, Baraggan Louisenbairn, having arrived from Hueco Mundo, held the human world in utter contempt. 

Therefore, he didn't take seriously what Gin Ichimaru and Ulquiorra had said about Hui. After all, how could such a weak world possibly give birth to a powerful human?

"The trivial matter of searching for Yhwach can be left to small fries like Grimmjow."

Muttering to himself, Baraggan looked around and then began to wander. He didn't sense any powerful presence, further solidifying his belief that the human world lacked strong individuals.

However, since he was already here, he decided to find this human called Hui and bring his head back to Hueco Mundo as a trophy.

With this thought in mind, Baraggan began searching for Hui in Karakura Town. 

Before departing, he learned from Gin that this Hui resided in a human city called Karakura Town.

However, Baraggan was unaware that the moment he arrived in Karakura Town, his presence had already been detected by others.

One was naturally Hui. After assimilating with space, he became incredibly sensitive to spatial fluctuations. The instant Baraggan appeared, Hui had already perceived his arrival.

The other two were Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara. Both were former captains of the Gotei 13, powerful Shinigami, no weaker than Baraggan.

Therefore, as Baraggan swaggered through Karakura Town without any restraint, his unrestrained spiritual pressure was impossible for them to miss.

"Why would such a powerful Arrancar appear here?"

Kisuke asked in confusion. Since Yoruichi had returned safely, he had relaxed a bit, at least no longer agonizing over what price to ask from Hui.

"I don't know, but since he's here, let's keep him here!"

Yoruichi spoke excitedly. 

Since her transformation after the encounter with Hui, she hadn't had a good fight and hadn't fully familiarized herself with her new power. 

Now, seeing a powerful Arrancar appear, she was naturally thrilled.

"No, don't rush into action yet. Let's figure out why this Arrancar suddenly appeared."

Kisuke stopped Yoruichi. 

He had a feeling that there must be a reason behind the appearance of such a powerful Arrancar in the human world. 

After all, this Arrancar, after appearing, didn't wreak havoc but seemed to be searching for something.

Yoruichi pouted at Kisuke's words but remained silent, as curiosity had also piqued her interest.

"Such weak spiritual pressures, I can't find that human at all. In that case, I'll just destroy this entire city!"

After searching fruitlessly for a while, Baraggan finally lost his patience. He decided to destroy the city and force Hui out into the open.

However, at that moment, Baraggan suddenly sensed a Shinigami's spiritual pressure. 

He looked over and saw a terrified young man in the distance.

"A little rat? Such a small and disgusting spiritual pressure. In that case, you shall die."

Saying so, Baraggan charged towards the young Shinigami. 

And the weak Shinigami targeted by Baraggan in Karakura Town? who could it be but Ichigo Kurosaki? 

His heart was filled with panic, yet his resolve remained firm as he sprinted towards Hui's villa.

When Ichigo first saw Baraggan, he was nearly scared to death. 

He knew that this Hollow was different from any he had encountered before; this Hollow's power was absolutely beyond him.

But to protect this town, Ichigo still stepped forward. He couldn't just stand by and watch this terrifying Hollow destroy Karakura Town.

Therefore, after a brief moment of thought, Ichigo deliberately exposed himself to Baraggan, leading him towards Hui's villa.

Because Ichigo knew that the only one who could save Karakura Town at this moment was that powerful and mysterious human, the one whom even Rukia's brother didn't dare to provoke.

"Eh? Which little guy is that?"

Yoruichi, transformed into a black cat and observing in secret, saw the running Ichigo. After a moment of thought, she understood his plan.

"Not bad, his sense of responsibility is quite strong."

She nodded, looking at Ichigo with newfound respect.

"And, quite clever, knowing where to lead this Arrancar."

Inside the villa, Hui sensed Ichigo and Baraggan getting closer and closer, a slight smile playing on his lips. Ichigo was indeed clever.

However, it still depended on whether Ichigo could actually make it here. If he died on the way, there was nothing to be done.

Thinking this, Hui chuckled inwardly. 

Ichigo was, after all, the protagonist of this era, how could he die so easily?

As expected, in the following moments, Hui witnessed Ichigo repeatedly escaping near-death situations, stumbling closer and closer.

"This little rat is quite interesting. It seems he's leading me somewhere. In that case, let's see what you're relying on."

Baraggan thought to himself. 

He had already discerned Ichigo's intentions, but he didn't expose him. Instead, he toyed with Ichigo, wanting to see where he was being led.

"Almost there, almost there! I'll be there soon! As long as I get there, it's a victory!"

Ichigo encouraged himself internally. Fear gnawed at him, yet he never faltered. He was terrified of dying here, but no matter how scared he was, he ultimately chose to protect.

Protect this town, protect the people in this town.

Finally, after narrowly escaping death once more, Ichigo arrived at the gate of Hui's villa.

"Senior! Help me, Senior!!!"

Jumping over the gate, Ichigo cried out for help.

Baraggan also arrived outside the villa courtyard. Looking at Ichigo running into the villa, a cruel smile spread across his face.

"Finally? Since what you're relying on is here, then I shall tear part that meger hope of yours along with you."

Muttering to himself, Baraggan reached the gate, took a step forward, and kicked the door open...
