This is an idea that has been in my mind for a very long time, so I've decided to put in writing and see how it goes. The reaction to the story will help me decide on what to do with it.
This story is going to involve several universes, it will show a mature and somehow dark Ichigo giving the fact he will do almost anything to win. Some of the universe will be alternate worlds; the most changed would be Naruto and Bleach. It's going to be set in different worlds at different times.
The story revolves around an Ichigo who failed to stop Yhwach, instead of fighting, he ran and took those he cared about that where still alive and jumped dimensions. Instead of being safe, he was forced to continue running as Yhwach destroyed every single world he entered. The more he ran, the more he lost himself to guilt of not just saving his world but the trillions of lives that had been lost just because he decided to run. Now he has stopped running and decided to take control of the resistance against Yhwach's domination" a group he formed.
Hado/Bakudo
Ninjutsu
Zangetsu/Hichigo
Kurama/Tailed beasts
Breathing in, Ichigo charged forward, dodging streaks of darkness as they tried to pierce him, easily covering the distance between him and Yhwach. He released another getsuga tenshou from his new bankai blade, the wave of spirit energy sending Yhwach flying again. Not giving him any time to recover, he flashed stepped, appearing at Yhwach's back. He released a red colored cero, the cero being blocked at the last moment by another streak of darkness that flowed from Yhwach.
He was so engrossed that he had forgotten he wasn't fighting alone, he watched as a needle like orange colored projectile passed through the darkness right before it split in two, creating a direct partway to Yhwach. The orange projectile was followed by fully charged double blue flame, which struck Yhwach head on.
Looking to his back, Ichigo saw Aizen and Inoue getting ready for another attack. If had been told about three years before that he would be fighting side by side with Aizen, he would have laughed so hard, he would have had a mental breakdown.
You can't defeat me again Yhwach said as he walked forward, you are nothing. I have waited for two thousand years to end this world and erase the boundaries between worlds; I will not lose when I am so close. But I have to ask, how negated my almighty because if you hadn't, this fight would have been over by now.
Answering Yhwach, Ichigo sought to buy time for what Aizen was preparing. When you broke my blade in our previous battle, you used the almighty to break and make it impossible to reform. Our zanpackuto is a reflection of ourselves; the power of my zanpackuto or hollow is to evolve and adapt. I'll keep evolving till I reach my limit, so by using the almighty on me one's at such a strength, you allowed me to adapt and then evolve making the almighty useless against me.
So that is it, but you didn't tell me all" Yhwach said, his words earning a puzzled face from Ichigo who did not know what he was talking about. I see you know, Yhwach said" he hasn't told you yet. You have the power to absolve, not like a normal Quincy; it is your epiphet (Quincy alphabet). To imagine that all this time you have been using it without knowing Yhwach added, but it is too bad that I have to kill you since any time I try to use AUSWHELEN on you, you take from me instead.
Withdrawing the medallion from his neck, you made a mistake thinking that the Almighty was all I had. Crushing the medallion, ZANKA NO TACHI, the captain commander's bankai appeared in his hand, stabbing it into the ground Yhwach muttered some words which Ichigo did not hear due to the fact that he was wrapping himself and Inoue in blanket of resistu to protect them from the immense heat.
Facing Inoue, Ichigo saw her face with a horrified expression allover it as she gazed forward. Turning around to look at the cause of the expression, a single tear escaped his eyes as he saw the faces of his friends as their bodies rose from the ground. Ichigo's expression changed to one of horror as his eyes fell on Renji and then Rukia. Before he could gather his thoughts, they charged forward, the sound of their running and roars being covered by Yhwach's laughter.
I may have been caught of guard in our previous fight, but now prepare to face the force of my fury" Yhwach said as his zombies engaged the trio.
Waking up the moment his alarm clock went off, Ichigo couldn't believe he had that dream again. His only hope was that he did not shout or roll again like before and wake Inoue again. Looking to his left, he gazed at his beautiful wife, the person that had kept going these past years. Kissing her on the head, he settled down back on the bed, closing his eye he went into his inner world for his daily work out with HICHIGO.
Entering his inner world, he ignored the light rain fall and storm clouds that made his inner world to be in perpetual night all the time. He was happy that the rain was calming down and not like the storm that had destroyed every single building in his world and left a desert.
Dashing to his left, several arrows imbedded themselves into where he had been standing. Skidding to a stop, he was forced to move again as a shadow appeared right over him with a thin black katana raised over her head. Using a mild form of flash step, he narrowly avoided getting beheaded.
Twisting himself in the air, he allowed reishi to flow out of him. Shaping them into arrows, he fired them at retreating figure. He wasn't surprised when his arrows where dodged. He was immediately assaulted by several arrows, not bothering to dodge; he shaped the reishi at his back into a large dome before solidifying it, effectively blocking the arrows. Gathering more reishi, he was about to attack when a red colored cero tore through his barrier, the reishi he had already gathered acting as a buffer, reducing the damage he sustained.
Lying still as his body healed itself, he didn't react when two figures approached him. At least his form and stamina are increasing, he heard one say, but his still weak and a pussy with no instinct" the other commented.
Sitting up, Ichigo didn't bother to examine his self for injuries instead gazed at his two zanpackuto spirit who where still talking about him. He wasn't too surprised when they both turned to look at him at the same time.
You're still healing unconsciously, Zangetsu commented. Another thing we need to work on, well at least you've stopped unconsciously trying to form a sword Zangetsu added.
You still lack instinct, Hichigo said, I have never met an animal that forgot its instinct he practically screamed. You used to dodge attacks like the one that got your with out even knowing. Swiping the thin black katana in his hand, Hichigo pointed at Ichigo. Break over, you have, he didn't even finish his statement before Ichigo disappeared in burst of flash step.
At least he smiling again, Zangetsu said looking at Hichigo. That girl Inoue has really helped him move on and his son has given him the will to fight again.
Don't let him know what you're thinking, Hichigo said. But the next time I see her, I'll thank her for doing what we couldn't do and giving him a reason to continue fighting and stop running, at least he can face his conscience now and come to terms with it. Enough talk, its time we brought him back in form, since he plans on charging head first into danger again.
Opening his eyes, Ichigo didn't need to be told Inoue was no longer at his side. Lying down for some moment, he was happy with the way things where going with his training. He would soon be able to try it out in the real world and see where he stood now compared to before.
Getting up, he headed for the bathroom. Going through his daily procedure, he showered, brushed and dressed in twenty minutes dot. Heading down stairs, he grabbed a bun and a cup of coffee his wife had left for him on the table. Heading straight for the kitchen, he saw her pulling out a fresh set of pastries from the oven.
One of the facts of life that disturbed him about Inoue was that even though Inoue was the worst cook he knew and also the best baker he knew which kind of contradicted, since they both involved cooking.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he walked up to her back. She was so distracted checking on the pastries that she did not notice him approaching, kissing her from behind, he was surprised that she didn't jump since he was sure that she had been unaware of his presence.
Where Yuzu, he asked.
She's already gone done to the hospital, Inoue said without turning back.
Karin, Ichika and Kazui, Ichigo added.
Karin's down in the basement with Aizen, while Kazui's already gone to the training field forty seven to meet with the rest of the gang with Ichika. Inoue said as she set the flour for the next batch of pastries in the bowl, the Hokage will be here with Jiraya, Tsunade and some other people at four in the evening. They want to know the reason you want the Hokage to force the other villages into attending the Kage summit you want him to call.
Is that all, Ichigo asked as he finished the last of his bun and coffee. Kissing her one last time on the lips, he turned around to leave. See you at three, Ichigo said as he closed the door to their house entering the streets of the hidden leaf. Breathing in to clear the nausea of seeing so many smiling people, he was assaulted with memories of the happy times with his friends. He was about to have another breakdown, when his Zanpackuto spirits helped him box the memories and shove them down the depths of his mind. Taking in another breath as his mind settled, he sent a thank you to his Zanpackutos for the help before he turned and headed down the road.
Going through the last setoff documents on his table, he knew it would not be long before another batch arrived and he had better things to deal with especially with this rouge group of ninja's, the Akasukis causing a lot of problems in their hunt for tailed beasts.
While the Akasukis where the leading problem on ground, with Ichigo asking him to call a Kage meeting, he knew something worst was brewing since he never intervened in any of their matters. Meaning whatever he was anxious over was bad, he was forced to stop going through the paperwork when someone knocked on his door.
Come in he said as he went through the last of the paperwork. Not even bothering looking up when the door opened, he signed the last of the paperwork before looking up to see his predecessor, his teacher/sanin and his partner Tsunade. Trying to stand up to greet them, he hadn't even adjusted on his chair when his mentor Jiraya was punched by Tsunade for something he had said to her. Rolling his eye, he wasn't too surprised about their behavior since they had been like that even when they where children.
Braking the silence was the third hokage as he scolded them for behaving like children, before reminding them of why they where here.
They all turned to him since he was the one that had asked them to come. Coughing before he began too talk, I called you here because of I need advise and people to help me make the right the decision, Minato began.
You wanted to become hokage, Jiraya said so deal with" he never got to finish the statement as he was punched again by Tsunade. But unlike last time, she got a thumb up from her father.
Continuing when Jiraya had recovered, I'm not talking about the Akatsuki or the failed attack by them on the leaf with the intent to capture my son Naruto jinchuriki of the nine tails. His words causing them to stop and think, I got a letter from Ichigo telling me to call a Kage meeting as soon as possible. The name and words in the letter causing them to tense as they now understood the gravity of the situation, Jiraya now understanding why his student needed his help.
That was not what caused me to call you all here; he added that I should do everything in my power to force them to attend. Even blackmail and threaten them but all the Kages must be present and this comes after he started actively training and watching the present jounin and chunin candidates. Changing the expression on his face, Minato gazed at the third Hokage with all the seriousness he could gather. Lord third, I need you to tell me all you know about him, can he be trusted.
Looking at the three faces that gazed on him waiting for answers, he breathed in before answering. It only took three words from him to shatter their world, He is white.
What do you mean white, Jiraya said as he was the first to recover from the bomb shell that lord third had just dropped. Don't tell me you're talking about white the anbu agent/myth, the one that you had told me multiple times more like lied to me that you didn't know who he was.
I told you the truth, I don't know who he is, but I was able to narrow it down since the services of white where offered to us by Ichigo. Lord third added, it was during the second ninja war when lord second had died and was just made Hokage, I received word that hidden stone troops where coming from the north with a refuge camp between them and us. Most of our men where to busy engaging people from the hidden cloud with my wife out there too, so I lead select group of ninjas, all of them anbu operatives, we where twenty five in total. We planned too set a trap for them and clear the refuges before they could arrive.
I know this story, Minato said. It's well known, the twenty five anbu officers lead by you and lord Danzo who killed off hundreds of hidden stone ninjas at the northern border without a single one of them dying. This story has been told to us multiple times to us when and after you graduate the academy. This story happened just before the first appearance of white in the war, am I not right Minato added as he gazed at predecessor.
You are right, but you only know the version we told in other to hide the truth, now where did I stop" lord third said. When we got there, we found them already present and setting up a camp. They most likely knew we had been told and no doubt aware of us knowing they where present, I couldn't call for back up since the other battle grounds where at full swing. I was still trying to formulate a plan of action with Danzo when we felt a large pressure strip us of air and force us to the ground before abruptly disappearing. The shouting coming from the enemy camp, made us know that something was horribly wrong. Reaching the camp but keeping to the trees for cover, we saw a literal crack in the air.
You're telling us how he came to our world, Jiraya said" but how can he be black, I've never seen him wield a blade or turn pale white Jiraya murmured.
Enough let me finish talking before you talk, lord third said as he stroked his beard trying to remember the exact details of the event. We saw a crack in the air which I later found out was a crack in time and space, watching from the tree I could see several of the stone ninjas trying to break out of gengutsu before realizing they weren't in one. The moment they realized, they all backed away and pulled out various weapons, all of them ready for an attack.
Not up to thirty seconds later, the portal began fluctuate right before a woman or the woman you as Ichigo's wife came through. The moment she immerged, the stone ninjas added more space between the woman and themselves accessing her treat level. The moment she tried to talk, one of them threw a kunai at her which she dodged narrowly. The moment she dodged the kunai, several of them attacked her only die when they were struck by struck by white's signature red beam that had come through the portal, the force of the explosion forcing the remaining of them to back off or be thrown away.
That was the moment white immerged from the portal with his signature bone mask albeit without the horns he had used against the third and second Kazekage. Seeing the person responsible for the death of their comrades, they attacked with the intent of getting revenge for the death of their comrades only to find their death at the cold end of his black steel blade. We couldn't believe what we where watching as Kunai's bounced harmlessly of him and him slicing through stone as if it was paper. We where displaced, when one of the red blast exploded near us, killing the retreating stone ninjas'. When we got back up, we didn't see white again but Ichigo who was checking on his wife. He had killed them all, even those that tried to retreat, most likely to protect his secret. I don't know why he killed them, but the deal he offered us pointed at that.
He had offered us help in exchange of us keeping his secret, or he would kill us all just so that no one knew. I had accepted his help since it was really needed at that time during the war, while I only contacted him when I had a mission, it wasn't until his wife was pregnant with his son he had stepped foot in this village, preferring to wander from place to place but never entering any of the five great nations. At least that was what the anbu agents on his tail reported, since he usually disappeared any time white was around, except on one case. So you can see why I assumed that he was white, this information is only known by me and Danzo so keep your mouth shut or you might be on a hit list since from all information I have gathered, he will do whatever it takes to eliminate what he deems a danger to his loved ones.
And here I thought, that white was a select group of anbu officers that even the foundation itself did not know their true identity except a select few. Jiraya said, you trusted us with the information that he wasn't from our world, but why hide the fact he had a hand in the anbu agent white, or the act that he could even be white" Jiraya finished.
But what does all this have to deal with him asking Minato to call a Kage meeting, not just that but ensure it works out by any means. Tsunade said, not understanding the relation between her father's story and the matter at hand.
I told you he made a deal with us, Sarutobi continued. Meaning that they where does and don'ts, most provided by him. And one of them was that, he promised never to intercede in any of the matters concerning this world or take sides, no matter what.
But white came from him, meaning he interceded and took sides in the matters concerning this world. Minato said, as he recalled missions white had undertook.
Actually he didn't, we could only call upon the services of white seven times, of which we have used five. Apart from missions we gave, he has kept to himself for as long as I can remember and for him to try to partake in the matters of our world as such a level is unsettling.
You haven't finished answering my questions, lord third" Minato said. Only three missions have been documented for white, so what other two missions are not recorded. And theirs something you're not adding, what exactly did he do that got you to not want to cross path with him. I know it's not because he may be white, white may be Kage level strong but other Kages have fought and survived him, so what exactly is it.
Laughing, Sarutobi couldn't help but smile at the young Kage; he could read between the lines easily, he truly deserved the job. You truly are a wonder Minato; yes I haven't been completely truthful with you and the others. breathing in before he continued talking, Sarutobi gazed through the window wondering whether his wife would be relaxing and drinking a cup of tea now, while he was forced to deal with all of this after retirement. It was two weeks after the official end of the war, white was still in the field finishing up loose ends. Ichigo was no where to be seen, his wife was with me helping treat the injured and saving those a point of death in a very special tent, so that know one new what was happening.
What do you mean by saving those at the point of death, shouldn't they have been taken in by the emergency medic officers and treated first. Tsunade stated.
Sorry, you must have misinterpreted my sentence. She healing those that the medic had deemed to far gone to be saved, Sarutobi said with a plain expression, as if what he was saying was a common situation.
Are saying she was bringing them back from the point of death, Tsunade said" her expression of shock mirrored by others in the room.
Yes, you could also put it like that if you prefer it. Now where was I, Sarutobi said? Eh hem, my wife had just returned from the battle ground. In a last ditch attempt by the hidden mist to salvage a piece of pride, they had caused her to lose control and nine tails to go berserk, their men dying in the process but leaving a time bomb in the middle of a leaf medical camp. I was cut unprepared and put out of action, breaking an arm; two ribs and my left knee cap after i was hit by a slap from her. In her rampage, she had headed straight for the tent, Ichigo's wife was housed but was stopped before she even got within a two meters of the tenth by Ichigo who dealt with the situation quickly without any effort or power. His attacks precise and accurate, he beat her till she regained control before disappearing again.
He dealt with a rampaging jinchuriki with ease, Minato said. How could you let someone so dangerous in the village, without knowing how strong he truly is or where he really came from? Not to mention that, if he was a youth when he came here, how is he still looking like someone in his late twenties?
You and Jiraya have been very close to him since he came to village, have you noticed any strange thing him. He already told us that he did not age the way we did, but tried his best to make it look like he did. Sarutobi said as he took a long drag from his pipe, that he had pulled from under his coat.
I haven't noticed anything strange about him and the anbu officers who conduct his vigilance, have not noted or reported anything strange, Minato said. Continuing to talk, when I took over as Hokage, you told me he was not from our world, not that his wife also wasn't from here too. Turning around before he spoke, I'm increasing surveillance and asking for a full cover on every one involved with him in one way or another. I'm going to his house this evening and the three of you are going with me in case things go wrong and the only person he seems to trust is lord third.
Umm, your mother truly makes the best pastries in the leaf. It's almost as sweet as Ramen, Naruto said as he watched the team under him spar against members of Kazui team. Turning to face Kazui, he wasn't to surprised that Kazui's mind was not their. Giving him some time to continue to day dream, Naruto turned around to watch lee try to defeat Neji again by finding the blind spot of his eyes.
Lee had been at it for more than a week now, even from watching them, Naruto could tell that Neji had already eliminated all his blinds spots about two years ago. But that didn't mean he would tell Lee, it was too much fun watching Lee try to find something that didn't exist.
Looking at his Kazui again, he wondered if he was still thinking about the weird way his family members where behaving. Maybe I should tell dad, Naruto thought" he could find out what was happening since he was friends with Kazui's father.
No I shouldn't he decided, Kazui wouldn't like it and his dad was too busy especially with this Akatsuki business. Hearing another explosion go off not far from where they were, he knew Ichika was most probably winning another girls battle royal.
Even as Naruto mind drifted off, his thoughts always lead him back to his second best friend. With the jounin exam coming up, he couldn't help but feel for Kazui, he was becoming too distracted. If he didn't take time, he wouldn't be fit enough to compete against him and Sasuke at the rate things where going, Kazui was already going to need miracle. Due to the fact the he had mastered his sage and complete bijuu mode, while Sasuke had gotten the ultimate ocular power, the rinnegan in one eye after his training with lord Orichimaru. The three of them had competed against themselves since they entered the academy, Kazui having it the hardest since his family had no bloodline power or fame. He had fought and trained for every single name and strength he had, becoming the first pure Yin chakra user in the history of their village.
He was so busy thinking that he did not notice Sasuke arrive until he engaged Kazui in a discussion, the latter already done daydreaming. Naruto turned around to face them right before Sasuke asked Kazui whether he knew the reason his father had asked them to meet here, telling them that it was urgent.
No idea, my old man was still asleep when I left the house" Kazui said.
I asked my dad about your father and he told me, that your dad isn't even a registered ninja in the leaf, but the hokage allows him to take civilian defense classes. Sasuke said, you ever see him handle a weapon, since I can't think of any reason your old man would call us again.
Thinking before he answered, I actually think my father has an aversion for blades of any kind" Kazui answered, since he can't look at me or Ichika's sword without flinching. To think of it, the only time I've seen, my father touch a sword was when he gave me mine.
Wait your father gave you yours, Sasuke said. Mine was a gift from him, my father and brother said they had never seen a blade like it and wondered where he got it from or who made it.
Before they could finish talking, they felt another presence enter the field. They had already sent the chunin's away and where not expecting anyone except the person that had asked them to be there.
They all turned at the same time to see Ichigo stroll up to them in a pure black outfit, with a hood designed for members of the second division albeit more stylish.
The anbu officer on duty immediately sent a mission, directly to Hokage. About the subsequent talk by teens and arrival of Ichigo on the scene, he got back orders to only watch and only engage if the teens where endangered.
As you all know Ichigo said the jounin exams are coming up. I may not look like much but I was once at the level in of a jounin ,Ichigo continued not bothered by the questioning faces the three teens where given him, even though it was never official. Due to the escalating situation, I've decided to start training again. So I thought, what other way to know where I stand than to fight against the three leading candidates to win the trial.
So let me get it straight dad, Kazui said coming out of shock. You want to fight/train with us, Kazui finished still puzzled at his dad's request and subsequent revelation.
That pretty much sums it up" Ichigo replied, I want to see how I sum up to the next generation of elite ninja's. I might even surprise you guys, and before you ask its all three of you at once and don't hold back.
Before Kazui could say anything too snap his father out his stupidity, he saw Sasuke put his hand into his pouch and retrieve a kunai. Seconds later, Naruto followed withdrawing two Kunai's, welding one in each hand. Sighting, Kazui withdrawing two from his pouch, than threw one too his father since he saw no weapon or weapon pouch on him.
Instead of catching it, Ichigo fumbled with it several times before it fell to the ground. Picking it up he smiled sheepishly at the teens before he turned around and gazed at where the anbu officer spying on him tried to hide but was doing a horrible job of clocking his energy signature.
Is anything wrong dad, Kazui asked, because of his fathers gaze at an empty roof top?
Nothing, Ichigo answered turning to face the teens. What are you waiting for Ichigo asked? As he continued talking, attack me.
Not even a moment later, Sasuke attacked. Dashing forward Sasuke hoped to end the fight in his first attack; he had noticed several openings in Ichigo's stance. He hoped to capitalize on all the opening in the stance, using the speed of a high chunin, Sasuke appeared at Ichigo's feet. Slashing forward, he attacked Ichigo's mid section, but was stopped by Ichigo's knee blocking his wrist. Moments later, Sasuke received a light kick to the head which sent him reeling back to his teammates.
You went for a finishing blow with first attack and left your self open, just because you saw a gap in my defense. If this was a fight to the death, you would have received a major injury to your neck, head or back. If you had been faster, you might have been able to land a hit. But your went in with minimum speed, just because you assumed I wouldn't be able to defend my self or counter in time, that is what gets a lot of Ninja's killed every time. I told you not to underestimate me, just because you haven't seen me fight, doesn't mean am incapable of combat. I told you attack me and don't hold back, or you might get your asses whooped by me.
Just because he blocked Sasuke's attack play attack, he's gloating about it, typical dad" Kazui thought. You heard him guys, hold nothing back, Kazui shouted right before he attacked.
Smiling at his son's statement, he wasn't too surprised when they split up and attacked. Ducking the moment he felt a presence appear at his side, Ichigo avoided his son imbedding a kunai in his neck. Dashing back, he avoided getting stabbed by Naruto. Kicking forward, he caught Naruto's arm, sending the kunai in Naruto hand to his son who hastily deflected it.
Landing, Ichigo turned to block Sasuke slash at him at him. Pushing forward, he sent Sasuke reeling back and immediately turned to block a forward thrust from his son. Adjusting his feet, gripped his son and feigned a strike to his son's chest.
Seeing his father's objective, he allowed his father to pull him and used the momentum of the pull to flip over his dads thrust at his chest but lost the kunai he was holding in the process. Landing gracefully, he held on to his fathers hand and swung over his head sending him flying back. He wasn't surprised when his father landed gracefully on his feet. Searching for his pouch to remove another kunai, he was surprised when he couldn't find it. Looking up, he saw Naruto and Sasuke engaging his father. Looking around inconspicuously, he searched for his pouch but could not find it. He looked up when two people appeared at his at his, where is your pouch? Kazui asked them.
Searching themselves, neither Naruto nor Sasuke's weapon pouch where present. Which meant it was not a mistake, looking up. They saw Ichigo with their Kunai's and weapon pouches in his hand.
I'm on weapon probation and you guys are only playing around with it, so I thought why not take your weapons. Maybe it will make you take me a little more seriously.
Sasuke had to admit, Kazui's father was good. He had not been lying when he had said he was at the level of a jounin a long time ago, even though he had shown no Jutsu's. His movement and reflexes where definitely one of a jounin, smiling to himself. You want a test; you'll get a test Sasuke said as he activated his sharigan.
Seeing Sasuke getting serious, Naruto sighted and ran a hand through his hair. Lets do this was all his said as disappeared and appeared at Ichigo's side. Throwing a chakra coated fist at Ichigo, who attempted to side step the punch only for him to be to slow to avoid the whole punch, the punch catching him at the edge of his cheek, the chakra lashing out at him and sending Ichigo reeling back.
Coming to a stop, Ichigo was then assaulted by a much faster Sasuke. Blocking and deflecting Sasuke's relentless attack, Ichigo felt himself adjust to Sasuke's speed as the number of punches he received reduced with each attack. But each time he tried to counter attack, Sasuke easily evaded his punches and turned the battle around again.
Ichigo was slowly being pushed back, even though he had stopped receiving any damage. He knew they had cornered him, the moment Sasuke pulled back and Naruto appeared in the horizon. WIND STYLE; SUPREME GALE" Naruto called out, as a wind spear shot forward, towards Ichigo forcing him to twist to his left, in other to dodge the projectile.
The moment Ichigo tried to right his stance; he was assaulted by several colorless orbs, curtsy of his son's YIN STYLE: ORBS OF DESTRUCTION. The orbs exploded harmlessly around him, releasing an ash like substance which limited his visibility and mobility. He knew that this was not the main attack, but was meant to stop him from dodging or knowing where the main attack was coming from. Ash Ichigo thought, oh no Ichigo groaned as he realized fire style.
FIRE STYLE: FIRE BALL, was what Ichigo heard, right before the area he was exploded.
