Bleach: After Retiring From Zero Division, Aizen Came To Study

Because of Kyoraku Shunsui, Ise Isuzu did not hide anything from Arima in the end, and went straight to talk about the origin of the Ise family and what the curse was. In the end, she even revealed her speculation about the curse.

"At first, I thought the curse of the Ise family was the family itself. As long as I left the family, the curse would not exist."

"Later, I found out that was not the case."

"As long as I am a member of the Ise family and have the blood of the Ise family, this curse will follow me like a shadow and always surround me."

"So, where did this curse come from?"

Ise Isuzu asked Arima and Kyoraku Shunsui.

Without waiting for their answer, Ise Isuzu said to himself: "It should be related to the artifact passed down from generation to generation in my Ise family."

"I, a woman of the Ise family, have spiritual power throughout the ages and have the qualifications to become a Shinigami. However, I am unable to resonate with the sealed state and obtain my own Zanpakutō."

"This is because there is a sacred weapon passed down from generation to generation in our clan. It is a Zanpakutō."

"As long as this sword exists, we will no longer be able to wield the other Zanpakutō. This is the only Zanpakutō we can use."

It was also the first time for Kyoraku Shunsui to know such a secret, and he immediately looked at Ise Oriun in surprise.

"Sister-in-law..."

There was no sadness on Ise Isuzu's face, only solemnity. She said solemnly: "This is also the answer that I spent a long time to find after returning to Ise's family."

"Why is the Ise family cursed?"

"I'm afraid it has something to do with this knife!"

As she spoke, she turned to Kyoraku Shunsui and said, "Shunsui, in fact, even if you don't come to me about the curse this time, I'm afraid I would have taken the initiative to find you soon."

"Since the curse of my family is caused by that sword, could Nanao avoid the curse by abandoning that sword and not letting Nanao come into contact with it?"

"And you are the only person I can trust!"

Ise Isuzu didn't say the rest.

Kyoraku Shunsui understood what the other party meant.

It turns out that during these years, my sister-in-law has figured out the source of the Ise family's curse, and has already prepared to abandon, or hide, that special Zanpakutō. He is the person she is ready to entrust.

Kyoraku Shunsui didn't know what kind of knife it was, but after hearing these words from his sister-in-law, his mood became extremely complicated.

"The curse of the Ise family may not be as simple as that sword."

Just when Ise Isuzu finished explaining the reason for everything, and when Kyoraku Shunsui looked complicated, Arima's voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Kyoraku Shunsui raised his head suddenly and looked at Arima, "Senior Arima, what does this mean?"

Arima said: "According to what your sister-in-law said, although the sword is a sword passed down from generation to generation in the Ise family, it seems likely to be the source of the curse, but before that, we have to figure out one thing."

"That is, Shinigami's Zanpakutō is unique. Even if the same sealed state sword is picked up by a new Shinigami after the death of its previous owner, the sword that awakens after resonating with it will no longer be the same sword as before. ."

"But the sword of the Ise family can be used by all family members and is passed down from generation to generation."

"How incredible is this?"

"So I speculate that the sword is only part of the reason for the curse of the Ise family. The real reason is the... bloodline of the Ise family."

"You chose to marry far away to the Kyoraku family back then. You probably didn't carry that sword with you at that time. However, the curse still hangs over you."

"Based on this, even if you abandon this knife and hide it, you may not be able to prevent the continuation of the curse."

Arima looked at Ise Isuzu, and his words were even more cruel.

Ise Isuzu's body trembled slightly.

"How so?"

She also gradually understood what Arima said.

As Arima said, when she married into the Kyoryaku family, she did it privately. She did not taken away the sword that had been passed down from generation to generation in the family, but allowed it to remain in the Ise family and receive enshrinements.

Since he was far away from the knife at that time, logically speaking, the curse should not affect him.

The result was that her husband died just like the men who married into the Ise family in the past.

Whether the other party is married into another child does not affect the existence of the curse.

Or? As long as the sword is enshrined in the Ise family, the curse will always exist and affect everyone in the Ise family?

If it were thrown out of the Ise family, the curse would not exist?

After Arima's words, Ise Isuzu rejected this conjecture.

There is nothing special about the place where the Ise family is located.

In other words, the distance in space cannot prevent the existence of the curse.

Perhaps as the senior Arima said, the curse of the Ise family does not originate from the sword, but... the blood.

This is a curse rooted deep in the blood.

The sword is just a sacred weapon passed down from generation to generation in the Ise family.

Only blood is something that can never be cut off. As long as the Ise family bloodline is not cut off, the curse will always exist.

Think again about what this curse is.

Ise Isuzu became more and more determined.

The curse of the Ise family is that all men who marry Ise women will die young.

One of the prerequisites is that you must marry a woman from the Ise family.

In addition, the children born to Ise family women will always be girls.

If the curse is caused by the sword, she can choose to abandon it.

But now, after discovering that the curse originated from the blood of the Ise family, Ise Oriun really doesn't know what to do.

"I wonder if I can take a look at this sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in your Ise family?"

At this moment, Arima asked Ise Isuzu again.

Ise Isuzu came back to her senses, she thought for a while, and finally nodded.

If Arima hadn't told her something and made her wake up, she might have really thought that the curse was related to the knife.

Of course, it's possible that the knife was part of the curse.

Since Shunsui believed in these seniors Arima so much, there was nothing wrong with giving the sword to them for inspection.

"Please wait!"

Ise Isuzu said something to Arima and Kyoraku Shunsui, and then left here. Not long after, she brought a knife that was wrapped extremely tightly.

"This is the sacred artifact enshrined by our Ise family."

"Eight Mirror Sword!"
