Chapter 11
Upon meeting up with Yoruichi after Kakashi saw her scouting the area, the two followed her to the hidden cave they now stood in with Yoruichi tending to Ichigo's Bankai training, surprisingly with the lieutenant Kakashi made sure was alive two days ago, greeting them with respect Kakashi sat on the sidelines to rest after running for five whole days, and to say Pakura and Kakashi were enjoying the rest by sitting in one of the many heal hotsprings, with Kakashi for once nor wearing his mask and eyepatch.
The two leaning back within the water Pakura let her hair down with a sigh as she let her head sink into the water, with Yoruichi walking to the side of the water in her human form with clothes she smiled as she kneeled down beside Kakashi.
Putting a hand in the water he hummed at the temperature level as Kakashi and Pakura looked to her.
"So, Rukia's execution has been changed to tomorrow and Ichigo's been training for Bankai?" Kakashi questioned as Ichigo limped to one hot spring he let out a sigh.
"Yes, And Ichigo's doing well" Yoruichi said as the teen raised a hand to wave.
"So let me get this straight, you've been training him for two days for him to achieve this Bankai, AND THE FACT THE EXECUTION IS TOMORROW NOON!?" Pakura literally yelled the last part while standing up in her anger, making the temperature grow hotter in her anger, with Yoruichi and Kakashi getting a good view of her assets, with the girl instantly sitting back in the water with her cheeks reddening.
"So you know where Naruto and Zabuza are?" Kakashi questioned the feline beauty who laughed nervously, scratching her head.
"Uh, yeah about that, Naruto has gone missing and Zabuza is being held in a cell, apparently being visited by the 4th divisions captain and her lieutenants Haku Momochi and Uzuamki Kushina"
"Wait, he was serious?" Pakura questioned before she jumped as Kakashi held Yoruichi by her collar with a hopeful look in his eyes.
"Uzumaki Kushina, Did she have red hair and a fiery attitude?" Kakashi questioned with the feline beauty blinking in surprise by his sudden uncharacteristic look before he composed himself.
"Yeah, she joined the Seireitei with her husband" Yoruichi said with Kakashi looking down in hope.
"Sensei is here as well?" Kakashi questioned softly with a look of thought as he sat back down.
Looking up with a stern gaze he spoke.
"We better get ready for tomorrow then" Kakashi said as he got a towel.
The next day
Sitting in boredom within his cell, Zabuza let out a sigh of tiredness as he yawned with a stretch, his arms free of any chains and reiatsu suppressants due to him breaking them every time, he was left to his own activities as the Guards left for a lunch break he leaned his head on the wall behind him with a groan of boredom he suddenly sat up at hearing distant yells of surprise from outside, making him walk to the window to look out heturned as where he sat seconds before crumbled down to show a grinning Kenpachi Zaraki, Orihime Inoue, Uryu Ishida, Chad some random guy dressed as a mummy and Zaraki's lieutenant waving at him happily.
"Yo, Momochi, you comin' to stop an execution or what?" Orihime questioned with a smile, making Zabuza blink before he grinned, raching for his back Kubikiribocho appeared, ready for battle.
"Let's get goin' then" Zabuza said with a grin, following after the group he ignored the feminine guy and baldy to walk beside Zaraki.
"Now all we need is Naruto" Zabuza said as the group began to run, with Zabuza easily keeping pace with the Captain.
five hours later
Standing within a room, Kakashi and Pakura stood in wait to step in on the execution they had the pleasure of watching from a higher ground on the white tower, after Kakashi tore the wall down and block the entrance first.
Keeping an eye on the gathering soul reapers he felt an immense power coming from one he assumed was the head captain.
Meanwhile
"OH COME ON!" Zabuza shouted in annoyance at seeing yet another dead end in front of him and the others, Zaraki letting out a grumble as his lieutenant clung to his shoulder calmly.
"I was promised a fight, not a damn maze!"
"I agree" Kenpachi said with a tired tone as the others stood behind them in silence.
"It really is easy to get lost, isn't it?" Uryu questioned as he looked to orihime before Zabuza and The lieutenant known as Yumichika turned at sensing someone.
"Oh great we got sneaky little bastards" Zabuza said with a grumble as he lifted his weapon off his back, resting it on his shoulders he glared.
Making the others tense up as his hollow mask formed, he spoke.
"You all can come out now, you may be hiding your energy but I can sense ya… especially the prick that got me in the first place" Zabuza said as four feet stepped out, followed him looking up to their faces, well, three of them due to the larger one however had a helmet over his head, hiding his features.
"Where are you taking the Ryoka to, Kenpachi?' the man with his eyes covered questioned with Zabuza narrowing his eyes.
"Especially the one who fought you to a stalemate" hearing this the one with a tattoo on his face spoke in surprise.
"Wait, that guy with thehollow mask fought off Zaraki kenpachi?" seeing the surprise from the two lieutenants Zabuza turned to Kenpachi.
"I take it you don't get many spars due to loss of their limbs or anything else out of fear?" his answer was a grumble from Kenpachi and a happy "Yes" From Yachiru.
Making Zabuza shrug as he turned to the tattoed guy who kept staring at him.
"Oi, unless your admiring my blade I don't swing that way!" Zabuza growled with the lieutenant blinking before settling with a Glare that made Zabuza grin, turning to the others he spoke.
"You all go on ahead, we'll deal with these four" Zabuza said with kenpachi speaking.
"You can go with them-"
"Hey! I haven't fought for three whole days, I am not missing this!" seeing the crazed look in his eyes, Zaraki merely chuckled as he looked to the four as the others easily agreed, well, except for his lieutenants.
"No need to stain your blade Captain, we'll-"
"FINE TAKE ON THEIR LIEUTENANTS JUST GET GOING!" Zabuza roared with the four jumping at his outburst while Kenpachi and the large captain were speaking before turning to him, seeing him glaring at the blind man as mist began to radiate off of him.
"Shall we get started?' Kenpachi questioned as the large Captain unsheathed his zanpakuto in response.
"Yes we shall" swinging down a large blade held by an arm came flying down to the two, with Zabuza blocking it with Kubikiribōchō with no effort as debris was sent into the air with a cloud from the force, making Zabuza chuckle darkly as he threw the arm away.
"Step back Komamura, he made lunge out and attack" looking up, Zabuza caught sight of the blind man in the air.
"Suzumushi Nishiki: Benihikō" the blind man said as he moved his Zanpakuto in a semi circle towards Zabuza, who took notice to the white blades forming behind the Zanpakuto before they shot towards him, leaving Kenpachi who watched him be skewered by the blades that held him up.
Making Kenpachi sigh at losing a worthy sparring partner he turned to the two with a grumble before hearing a deep chuckle from Zabuza, startling those that turned to him as he shattered the blades impaling him to stand up, flexing his arms the blades stabbing them shattered for him to move his arms more freely, grabbing for a blade stabbing through his head he pulled it out with a grin slowly forming on his lips as the rest of the blades began to fall from his body with small clatters.
"That tickled" Zabuza said with a grin as he lifted his weapon towards the Captain that stabbed him.
"Don't tell me That's the best you got?"
Meanwhile
Looking at the Sokyoku Hill below him from the tower, Naruto stood in wait as Kurama sat wrapped around his neck, watching them drag Rukia towards the pedestals in front of the helbard Naruto cracked his neck as he looked to Kakashi and Pakura below him, the two nodding to him.
"You really think this will work?" Naruto questioned Kurama who perked up.
"Oh I know, Thanks to Minato's information about the Helbard, all we need to do is seal it back up, I'll hold it while you seal it, Kakashi and Pakura will rescue Rukia with ichigo, once their gone we'll deal with the captains" Kurama said with Naruto nodding as the execution was prepared, with Naruto looking for any sign of Rukia.
Flinching at sensing a large amount of KI resonating from Zabuza's location, Naruto had to surpress a chuckle as he turned back to the hill, where he saw Sui-feng standing with the captain currently present… and Rukia being dragged to the podium for her execution.
"We'll leave Byakuya to Ichigo" Naruto said as the three watched the petite being lifted off the ground to the top of the two spires.
Waiting as the kido corps began unsealing the helbard, Kakashi spoke.
"Now!" hearing the order Naruto sent to chakra chains to Pakura and Kakashi, the two grabbing on before being sling shotted towards hill, with Naruto being shrouded in bubbling chakra, leaping up into the air he vanished into black smoke.
