Wu: Battle of Ru Xu Kou

Lu Bu had raised an army.

This news reached the ears of the brave warriors of Wu, who had been living in peace since the fall of the Serpent King, Orochi.

As the most powerful man in history had ever known, Lu Bu (the strongest warrior ever known in history and known for his ferocity in battle) was determined to use his might to seize power in this strange land. However, Sun Jian did nothing, not wanting Wu to contribute to the destruction of the peace that the land had enjoyed, which was brought about from the Serpent King.

Sending out Sun Ce (Sun Jian's oldest son), Zhou Yu (Sun Ce's best friend), and Ranmaru Mori (Nobunaga's most loyal subject) as scouts. He preferred to simply keep an eye out on things for the time being.

While on their scouting mission, Ranmaru and the others came across a young warrior who refused to back down even in the face of one powerful as Lu Bu and two other warriors that had some trouble getting rid of some unknown army…

At the main camp, Sun Quan (Sun Jian's middle child) was with his father discussing the current status of the land. He uttered, "I have heard reports that Lu Bu is stirring unrest across the land… After we fought so hard to defeat Orochi, why does he do this?"

Sun Quan thought, "In Response, Dong Zhuo, Masamune and even Cao Cao have raised armies. In our current state, Wu would shatter if we mobilized for war again…We must prevent such an occurrence no matter the cost."

The leader of Wu, Sun Jian, spoke out to his faithful officers, "Listen to me, my people. I have decided that we must fortify our defenses for the time being." He continued on by saying, " There is much about this realm that we cannot yet see, much about our enemies that we do not yet know. For now, we must stand our ground and keep our eyes open until Sun Ce returns."

Then a traveling priestess named Okuni from Izumo came in said, "I chase Ling Tong all the way and what do I find? There's nothing going on here."

Then, the Thunder warrior and the leader of the Tachibana Clan, her name is Ginchiyo Tachibana. She spoke back to Okuni, "And why did you bring me?"

Okuni responded by saying in her recognizable high pitch voice, "Oh, I just wanted to bring you along for the ride…"

Okuni paused for a second and then continued, "And, I thought you could do with letting your hair down."

Motochika Chosokabe, a warrior who wields a shamisen, a stringed instrument similar to a guitar. He said, "Wu provides this bat with his opportunity to rest his wings."

Okuni questioned, "I thought Ranmaru was here too! Where has that boy gone to?"

On the scouting mission that Sun Jian send: Ranmaru, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce on. Sun Jian's oldest son, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu (Sun Ce's best friend) went another direction in order to gather much more information than if they went together as a group. Ranmaru and the others arrived at the northern coast of Ru Xu Kou and spotted Lu Bu attacking someone. And also, an unknown force attacking two other warriors. Ranmaru said out loud, "It's Lu Bu… He's attacking someone. And an unknown army is attacking two warriors."

Then Zhou Tai, the Chinese samurai said calmly, "They must be helped."

Ranmaru was the first to aid the foreign youths. Their enemies- two of Lu Bu's finest. An orange headed young man fell back with barely enough time to raise his sword in defense.

Clash! Ranmaru's long sword stopped the fall of the enemy sword. He was in the middle and not giving way. The enemy smirked, "Ranmaru, it is well of you to meet me. I will destroy you in battle along with this flashy display and find a wealth of my master's good graces! Come Ranmaru! Meet death!"

The second enemy bared his blade at the blue headed foreigner, but stopped short of attacking him when Zhou Tai appeared. With this the first enemy jumped back and two lines were made. Zhou Tai smirked, four to two, the odds were with them. "I am Zhou Tai and this Ranmaru."

"Kurosaki Ichigo," said the young man.

"Grimmjow," said the other, who grinned.

"Enough with the names! You won't need them in hell!" The second warrior yelled. His long blade carved through the air and crashed upon Grimmjow's zanpaktou. The blue headed man smiled despite his own grievous wounds; his own blood threatening to pour like sweat. Building his strength Grimmjow slammed his opponent with a burst of reiatsu. Then he fell to a knee.

Ranmaru, across the way, was engaged in a skirmish. The warrior could simply be labeled a defensive pain. The boy's blade crashed from above on top of his opponent. The man crouched from the strength of the blow. Then he kicked his leg out at Ranmaru. A futile attempt to gain space from his enemy, Ranmaru seized the moment and grasped the man's head. The enemy screamed in despair, death was near. Ranmaru's blade was now on the inside, sandwiched between the enemy's face and blade. Kneeling behind the struggling man and still holding his head, Ranmaru drew his blade back to himself and cut the man's neck. An immediate kill, Ranmaru stood victorious.

During Ranmaru's fight, when Grimmjow kneeled Zhou Tai dispatched the enemy. The warrior had fallen back into a thorny bush. Struggling to get out of it and in shock of Grimmjow's strength he left himself open to Tai's glinting sword. The blade smoothly kissed the man's forehead and placed him in an eternal sleep.

After Lu Bu exited the battlefield he left his army take care of his opponent because he had better things to do apparently.

After Zhou Tai and Ranmaru defeated two enemy officers the caught up to the mysterious warrior. Ranmaru asked the unknown male fighter, "Are you okay?"

The young man replied, "I am fine, thanks."

"I cannot believe one so young could emerge from battle with Lu Bu unscathed…" Ranmaru Mori said with so much amazement at this fact. As Ranmaru and the others helped the young warrior to escape, they headed west- primarily. As the group was heading west they ran into the two warriors.

Turning to Grimmjow he didn't even need to speak for the man had already ascertained the incoming question. "I'm fine, didn't even need your help."

"Shut-up. So… who is Lu Bu?" Ichigo said seriously.

Ranmaru Mori, a young warrior who had faced the mighty Lu Bu in battle answered, "Lu Bu is known to have no equal in battle."

The one now called Kurosaki Ichigo was left in awe of this information. The other one Grimmjow grinned in excitement of hearing this news of a warrior that could stand a chance against an Espada.

Ranmaru said to the group including the young warriors, "We head to the southwest. Hurry!"

As the group started to head southern garrison had closed and now they had to go around the long way around. Zhou Tai ran on the road ahead. He stopped because he heard a laugh from behind and took out his sword. Then slashed behind him but no one was there. The same voice spoke again.

The Fuma ninja, Kotaro Fuma spoke, "Even though Orochi's gone his chaos still reigns…"

Zhou Tai turned to him and replied, "Desist."

Out of nowhere Kotaro Fuma, the wind ninja, appeared along with some of his clan. With his lightening speed he fell upon Zhou Tai with his katana and stared the man in the eye. Suddenly from their deadlock Kotaro Fuma jumped back. His eyes had fallen beyond his opponent to the group Zhou Tai was travelling with.

Kotaro Fuma, the wind ninja, back off and said, "This face is new to me… Interesting…"

He disappeared along with his the other ninjas whom fought the rest of the group. Then just in, Orochi's reptian army appeared up head and organize a plan to block the escape route.

Ranmaru looked ahead in surprise of Orochi's army. Ranmaru spoke in disbelief, "And now the remnants of Orochi's reptian army. What are they doing here…?"

The warrior with golden gauntlets said, "They are nothing. We can push through."

And that's just what they did. There were only 20 enemies and 6 of them. Each took their stance and another battle began. Atop the mountain side caution was a daunting task. The wind blew in spurts daring anyone on the path a long time to contemplate death; for it was 5,000 feet of falling and an immediate grave once at the bottom. Engaged in combat, Ranmaru found himself back to back with the young Kurosaki. An upward cut and he had disengaged his third enemy. A gust of wind blew Ranmaru and Ichigo into each other.

"What are these things?" said Kurosaki.

Ranmaru guarded again, standing against another gust. He answered the boy, "These are Orochi's warriors."

Ichigo jumped back before running into his opponent. A deadlock, Ichigo built his strength before slamming the reptile off of the cliff. Zhou Tai and Grimmjow, daringly close to the edge, sent five more warriors to meet their master in the afterlife. A strong gust blasted along the mountain path and Zhou slipped back. Suddenly he found himself beginning to fall. His view comprised some mountain side and clouds. From the corner of his eye, Grimmjow saw the samurai and gasped the back of his shirt. A grunt and pull and Zhou Tai was on his feet again.

"You can't go anywhere. Not until I hear what exactly is going on."

Ranmaru replied as an response to this matter, "We'll tell you back at the Main camp."

Zhou Tai raised an eyebrow as the Espada challenged another pest. "Thank you," he nodded towards the young man; just as another serpent was coming at him.

"Wha… HEY!" Grimmjow looked back to see the samurai thank him, but was not amused that another creature was coming at the man. "I just saved you and I have to…" he thought, but was cut short. Tai swiftly blocked the attack without even flinching. He stood immovable behind Grimmjow and still close to the edge. After the block he lightly moved around the reptile until he was farthest from the edge.

Grimmjow grinned, thinking that the man obviously had his own sort of tricks.

The leader of this band of reptiles was Ji Quin. He shouted to his comrade's victory and death to the mortals, but slowly his band fell. He himself blocked the rest of the path along with his mighty ax. The weapons reached over 15 ft. accommodating its master's monstrous size. For him though was Isane. Somehow in the chaos of wind and fighting she found herself within his reach. Such an alien adversary, Isane played defensive while she looked for a weakness. The creature was most aggressive though. He kept her within range of his weapon. Luckily, Isane had some tricks of her own.

"Hadou 64!" she yelled through the wind. Jumping precariously over her enemies swinging ax, Isane had little time to regain her footing. Her Kido hit with excellent aim, right on target. She smiled, happy with the result. Ji covered his burning face, flinging his ax down into the earth. The ground trembled and a gust blasted the fighters. Dirt rose into the air as the ground gave way. Feeling the earth move beneath her Isane jumped back trying desperately to escape the falling earth beneath her.

Ji, though, was still swinging his ax, his face burning with pain. The weapon moved in Isane's way blocking her path to safety. She was about to jump it when the blade came at her. There was a chance to grab the handle safely and Isane took it. The dust was settling quickly thanks to the wind and she found herself holding desperately to the ax and out far over the edge. She gulped as the ax stopped moving and her view became clear. Below her was nothing. Looking ahead she saw that Ji had overcome his pain and was cackling with a steely glare towards her.

"So," said the monstrous being, "how long do you think you can hang there?"

Renji had barely escaped the fleeing ground beneath him which had disposed of his opponent. He was about to laugh when his saw Isane. His face paled. "Hey! Isane!"

Ji laughed heartily and bounced the ax in his hand. She was trying to get up and had managed to get her arm over the handle. "Now none of that!" he chided as Isane slid, reverting to a hand hold.

The dust was settling and the rest of the warriors could see the predicament. They, though, had only a few feet of path left to bear their weight. The fighting quarters had become far too small. Granted if they were able to get past Ji; past him the path was whole. Sadly time was running out. Isane's fingers were burning and she strained to hold on.

"Put her on solid ground and we might let you live," Ranmaru's voice rose above the creatures laughter.

Ji stared at him with a crazed look, "Really? Little boy you think you have the power to command me? Attack me! I dare you… at the cost of the woman," he paused watching the calculating faces. "You humans are so pathetic."

"You're the pathetic one!" Renji yelled, "You killed your own and now hide behind a woman. Coward! You couldn't fight us fairly even if you wanted to!"

"Really? I think in the end I have won. You will not attack me and therefore will fall prey to the reinforcements on the way. But then none of you will live long anyway." Ji grinned evilly, but failed to see the whole picture.

While talking, Zhou Tai and Grimmjow had moved up much closer to Renij, who was closest to the enemy. Ichigo had come running behind them and Ranmaru. Grimmjow thrust his zanpaktou into the mountain side next to them and ran behind Renji towards Ji pulling his zanpakto through the mountain. More dust permeated the air. Ji predictably swung his ax and Isane towards the men, but the dust inhibited his accuracy. Renji, Zhou Tai, and Grimmjow made it across. Ichigo, still on the path and the last of the five, dropped beneath the ax just as the ground beneath him began to give way and was able to grab Isane. In turn the ax crashed into the mountain side leaving its master unarmed.

The others attacked Ji as Ranmaru reached out a saving hand to a falling Ichigo. Without releasing Shikai, Grimmjow and Renji disabled their opponent's legs with swift and powerful blows. Zhou Tai attacked between the two at Ji's chest. Sending him back over the edge to the same fate of his comrades, and the fate he tried to impose on Isane. Renji looked back at the destroyed path. "So much for reinforcements."

"Are you alright?" Ranmaru asked both Ichigo and Isane; his concern obvious on his face.

Isane smiled, "Yes, thank you." Rubbing her hands together she performed a small Kidou which easily healed her hands. She looked up to approving faces, which placed a small blush on her face.

Ichigo nodded and walked on after watching Isane heal herself. "So where to now?"

"You head south to the Yellow Gate. I will head north to the Engineer Tower. There is a switch there that activates the gate. This way we will be able to pass through. Now we must move quickly."

Grimmjow rolled his eyes, "Right... One old man against how many? What if you fail?"

"Zhou Tai will never fail," Ranmaru smiled at his comrade, "he never has."

"Really?" the Arrancar muttered.

Renji was already making his way ahead. "Alright, come on! Let's keep moving."

The young warrior paused. "Are you alright?" Ranmaru asked both Ichigo and Isane; his concern obvious on his face.

Isane smiled, "Yes, thank you." Rubbing her hands together she performed a small Kidou which easily healed her hands. She looked up to approving faces, which placed a small blush on her face.

The young warrior pushed through the ambush and started going south. Zhou Tai headed north to stop the lead engineers from blocking the only way to escape from the area. He pushed through the ambush and started going south again. But Zhou Tai headed north to stop the lead engineers from blocking the only way to escape from the area.

Zhou Tai, even over the misty and jagged mountain terrain, had managed his way stealthily to the Engineers house. He had performed his job and only needed to meet back with his companions. Such a warrior as he was; there was never a mistake on his part, but today it was the wood beneath his feet. He had moved quietly over the wood bridge before. It was just his luck that on his way out the wood creaked in agony like the bones of a hundred year old shaman. He cringed, crouching low. Suddenly Zhou Tai could hear two voices.

They were the voices of strong men. Young, possibly naïve for Zhou's sake; as the men raced around the corner to confront the creaking sound, Zhou was right. They were yanyue dao wielders young and trim; nothing like soldiers let alone warriors. The men paused and sized up their opponent, the samurai. Before any questions could be given, Zhou Tai confidently walked forward. A pole flashed in his way and suddenly with sword in hand he slipped under the yanyue dao.

"Obviously your trouble, old man," said the man to Zhou's right. He had a blue sash tied to the end of his weapon.

The other young man nodded, remaining aloof. "Give up?" He slammed the end of his staff on the ground, trying to appear more intimidating.

Zhou shook his head, "If you were in a regiment such discipline would be severely reprimanded- letting the enemy slip past you."

"So you designate yourself as the enemy? Then there shall be no more mercies for you!"

The blue, sashed yanyue dao plunged through the open air at Zhou. The samurai stepped aside as the bladed staff passed next to him. Quickly, he grasped the yanyue dao and stepped forward with the retreating youth. Careful not to cut himself with the end he held. Zhou's sword in his right hand slid down the pole toward the young man's hands. The aloof man saw the danger his friend was in and tried to move closer.

Zhou still held the blue yanyue dao before the bladed end and the young man still held the other end. He turned and so did the young man, running into his friend as he was backing away from Zhao's blade; that was sliding closer to the youth's hands. This sent the aloof man tumbling down an embankment. Zhou Tai could not help smirking. The man before him let go of the yanyue dao. Zhao broke the wooden pole on his knee. Then he slipped into the enveloping mist and made his way to his comrades.

Together again the group raced for the gate. Down the mountain side they took shortcuts, wherever they could in an attempt to gain time. Finally freedom was in site. There before the warriors was a lush forest, after that the Yellow Gate. Halfway through and a bog forced them to pick their way carefully. The worst of their situation was that it slowed them down considerably. Ranmaru stepped up to a higher piece of ground. His waist down was covered in mud. Reaching out a hand the man pulled a grateful Isane out of the muck. Zhou Tai, Grimmjow, Ichigo, and Renji still waded through around the higher ground. Finally Grimmjow burst. "This is unbelievable! You-," he whacked Ichigo over the head, "got us into all of this!"

Ichigo looked wide-eyed at the man next to him. "Why you crazy…"

"Shut-up the both of you! This is where we are and…" A cero blast right by Renji before he could finish. Faster than another word could be uttered the boys were unhindered by the muck, and attacking each other. Isane watched on in disbelief, but when Ranmaru looked back at the feuding shinigami he saw something worse. Behind them was Cottonmouth. Zhou caught the young man's stare and directed his attention the same way.

Cottonmouth growled and jumped into the muck directly over the fighting boys. Zhou mumbled and raced to the higher ground that Isane and Ranmaru stood on. Fighting would prove much easier from there. In the muddle that was three young men, Renji was the first to see the giant Cottonmouth.

"Sh…" was all that left his mouth as it was replaced by the displaced mud in Cottonmouth's wake. Renji found himself under the mud.

Ichigo and Grimmjow, on either side of the fallen Renji, turned to see Cottonmouth.

"HHHEEYYYYY!" Ichigo yelled. "This is between me and him. Stay…"

"HA! Fight all you want, but I am here to…"

A furious and excited Grimmjow released his zanpaktou, stepped on the emerging Renji, and leaped above Cottonmouth. The creature raised his sword in defense and Grimmjow slammed him into the muck. Down deep into the brown soup, Cottonmouth sank under the weight and power of Grimmjow's strength. The Espada laughter heartily and skipped onto the small strip of land that the others occupied, leaving Ichigo and a sputtering Renji still in the mud.

"What did you go and step on me for?"

Ranmaru sighed, "Oh, will you all stop complaining!"

"You should talk, girly." Ichigo muttered as he pulled himself out of the mud. Next came Renji when the muck behind him erupted. Cottonmouth rose from the deep determined to avenge himself.

"I will crush YOU!"

Renji rolled on his back and defended with his zanpakto. The creature raised his weapon and pounded on the red head. Renji managed to roll away as Ichigo yelled, "Ten Sa Zan Getsu! Getsuga Tensho!"

The creature, stunned and greatly damaged, fell back into the muck. Three more reptiles appeared falling from overhead foliage. Between Ranmaru and Zhou they were quickly dispatched, but more were coming. The shinigami and arrancar stood, ready for their opponents; including Isane, who began calling up another Bakuda, this time for protection.

Surrounded except for one way out, Ranmaru quickly calculated the possibilities of escape and certain death. More enemies were coming and the swamp would only favor them. He backed up to Isane and spoke, "We don't have chance we need to run again."

"What! Are you kidding me! I'm sick of running I'm no coward," Grimmjow growled in defiance.

In his black garb, Ichigo was ready for anything except running. "No way, we can take these freaks."

Renji nodded in agreement, but he too was thinking clearly, "What makes you think we can't finish these creeps off?"

There was a pause. Ranmaru swallowed, he had to be truthful. "We're tired if not exhausted. We're in THEIR territory. This swamp was made for them and will favor them. We'll be fighting in close quarters and as I have observed the Lady Isane here would have a hard time fighting. We'll have our own hands full."

"Hmm, that's enough," Zhou Tai had finally spoken, his voice a little gruff in the situation, "We'll make a run for it. Lady Isane, have you any abilities to blind the enemy in a wide range?"

Isane, startled and not caring for Ranmaru's comment, gapped at first. "Why! I'm… sure yes I do, Bakudo 64!"

Before any more decisions could be made or protests broached, a blinding light shined underneath the vaulted trees. The group easily made their getaway as the enemy flounder in the light. They ran for a long time; desperately attempting to gain space from their enemies.

Once out of the swamp, a clear pristine valley appeared before them and not a tree in sight. Their trip was breaking them. Grimmjow sighed loudly and sat on the ground. "We have to go through that?"

"What is this some kind of hell? You know we really need some answers." Renji asked, eyeing Zhou Tai. The man simply nodded causing Renji to sigh.

Ichigo cursed the drying mud on his skin. It was caking already. "Alright, we should really keep moving."

"Getting tired Ichi-san?" the arrancar asked.

Ichigo smirked, "Hey, I'm not the one sitting on the ground like a baby."

Grimmjow jumped up his face a display of annoyance. Ready for him, Ichigo's hand went to the dark hilt of his blade. Ranmaru looked nervous, afraid of a fight in the group that was certainly not needed. But there was something so much more important, as the sad gasp from Isane's lips caught everyone's attention.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Tai asked.

Isane looked up with wide, childish eyes; a curious look on her face. "I… oh! Um, nothing let's get going." She began running and waved for them to follow. The warriors exchanged looks of slight confusion, except Zhou who masked his feelings completely.

Something obviously had bothered the lady. But she was no fool and had long decided not to be found weak either. So she would hide the fact that her clothes had been dry clean only and that mud was under her shirt. She cringed at the thought and felt her skin irritated by the rubbing of her clothes on her mud caked skin.

Ahead of the men, Isane reached the edge of the valley. A cool breeze whistled through her hair and she closed her eyes. Opening them again she was treated to the site of an army encampment. Isane raised a delicate hand to her lips, considering the possibility that below her could be the enemy. Darkness was encroaching and she turned to tell her comrades. Ranmaru appeared before her and smiled. He looked past her and nodded,

"That is our destination, Emperor Sun Jian's camp."

Renji, only a few feet away, nodded. Then he looked back with a lazy look. Zhou Tai had come up behind him, but a panting Ichigo and Grimmjow were just barely making their way to the rest of the group.

Suddenly Isane jumped and clapped her hands together. "Is there a shower! Or maybe even a place to take a bath?"

Ranmaru looked at the woman and blushed a little, "Well, yes… I guess."

"Yeah! Out of these muddy clothes and…" she stopped and smiled sheepishly; maybe a little too much information.

Ichigo and Grimmjow had finally made it to the top, before either could say a word Zhou Tai spoke. His voice was intimidating, "It was a tie."

The boys looked at each other and sighed. There was simply no fight left in them. Renji chuckled and took a step forward, but stopped as a familiar voice chilled the air.

One again Kotaro Fuma appeared before them. He said, "Orochi may be gone but his chaos still remains…"

"Again!" Ichigo and Grimmjow shouted in Tai readied his sword and Fuma's blade screamed as the metal met. Ichigo and Grimmjow were up again with zanpakto's drawn and Renji released Bankai. His back to Isane and Ranmaru, Zabimaru minced the enemy before it.

Kotaro was locked in combat with Zhou. The warrior was able to muster enough strength to keep the ninja from using anything, but his katana. Swiftly sidestepping to the left the ninja anticipated a hard attack from his opponent. Zhou was smarter than that and had already read the ninja's movements.

Slamming his sword nearest the hilt of Kotaro's sword, Zhou moved forward and to the right placing his left foot beneath the ninja. Attempting to miss the possible trip he would encounter from Zhou Tai's foot he jumped to the left. Zhou moved with him and popped the ninja in the head with his right elbow. The ninja stumbled and with one horizontal strike from Zhou fell. The victor looked up to see Renji's bankai finish off the rest of the ninja's.

The attack was so strange. As if Renji had summoned a creature of some sort. Once finished, the zanpakto returned to its sealed form. Renji knelt in exhaustion as the group came back together. "I'm done," he said.

Ranmaru gasped in amazement, "That was amazing! How did you…"

Isane placed Renji's arm over her shoulders and helped him up. Releasing Bankai had used up the last of his strength. She turned to Ranmaru, "Talk later, let's get to the camp."

The youth nodded and helped her with Renji. Ichigo tapped Isane on the shoulder and took her place. She let him and looked back to see Grimmjow. His face had mellowed some, as though he was thinking. "Ready to go?" she asked the arrancar.

"Eh," was his response.

With the Fuma ninja's defeated the diverse group of travelers finally walked into the Wu Main Camp.

When he found the both engineers and defeated them, he headed back to the unknown warrior who stood in the face of one as Lu Bu. More soldiers of Orochi's army ambushed them again.

"Stand in my way and be cut down." said Zhou Tai in a threatening manner.

The group was three-fourths of the way to the escape point when Ranmaru said, "This is way too many to be remnants of a fallen army."

One again they ran into Fuma. He said, "Orochi may be gone but his chaos still remains…"

After defeating Kotaro Fuma. the young warrior with the golden gauntlet had reached the escape point. Finally, the group had reached the Wu Main Camp. When they arrived there the warrior in question said, "I thank you for aid. I am Minamoto Yoshitsune."

Ginchiyo who stayed at the Wu's Main Camp spoke up, "I don't know if are who you say you are. But I also wish to have some of that bravery you showed off while facing Lu Bu."

Yoshisune ignored her and said, "I have come in search of someone. Yet, I fear I am but one man. This is not your fight, but I ask for your aid."

Sun Jian walked up towards Yoshisune and said, "You are Yoshisune? My name is Sun Jian, leader of Wu."

In response to this Yoshisune Minamoto replied, "Then I shall ally myself to you. Call on me when you have the need to. If I follow you to battle, perhaps I may find a clue to his whereabouts."

"In that case, you should make yourself comfortable. I have no plans to set forth for the time being."

Yoshisune stood in shock and said to him, "The tiger will not lave his den? But there is every chance that the warrior known as Lu Bu may attack."

Sun Jian then turned to Ranmaru about the foreign warriors in question to him and asked him their names. Ranmaru told the leader of Wu that their names are Grimmjow and Ichigo Kurosaki. Ranmaru Mori slightly pointed to each of them and introduce them to Sun Jian.

The Ruler of Wu then started to introduced himself to the other individuals.

"Okay. So... What's with deal with those things we just fought?" asked Kurosaki once again.

Ranmaru spoke up and said, " What you saw was... what to be believed an renmants of Orochi's fallen hellish army."
