Last time on Midori no senshi we saw Izuku awakening his zanpakuto,being kidnapped by a familiar figure,and slightly confusing/scaring several onlookers and heros at the scene.
(3rd POV)
We now find the hero of our story in a little predicament. He can't go to the hospital because A)nobody can see our friend carrying him who we know as Rukia and B)she doesn't think it would be a good idea to drop him off before getting her questions answered. As she begins thinking on the subject of our pure green boi,she notices him starting to squirm in her arms.
She decides to shunpo to Uraharas shop to get him patched up completely. Meanwhile while this is happening,Izuku is in his inner world talking with Junsuina. We see that Junsuina appears as a 5'9" tall male wearing dark green karuta tatami gusoku(a type of armor worn by samurai).
He has black eyes and hair with a smile constantly on his face. He has a wakizashi like his unreleased state on his waist and a miaodao on his back.
Izuku stares forward with a blank look on his face and for once he isn't having a mutter attack about all the new information. He just stares at a tree. His inner world is full of those. Oh hey look the lake is cold. Izuku shunpos out of there and glares at Junsuina who is laughing his ass off. Junsuina then states "Hey at least I have your attention now. I didn't know if you were gonna start one of your muttering sprees so I threw you in the lake." Izuku is still upset but understands his point so he can't complain too much.
Izuku then asks "What am I? What are you? What happened back then? Where the heck am I? Why did I start seeing floating transparent people with a broken chain in their chest? Why is this only happening now?" As this is going on Junsuina stares at Izuku with an amused look on his face.
"OK,OK,calm down already. I'll explain everything just be patient. Jeez you can talk fast. The answer to the first question is that you are a soul reaper. The job of a soul reaper is to ferry souls to the soul society. They are also supposed to cleanse spirits that are called hollows using their zanpakuto. That ties into your second through fourth question. I am your zanpakuto spirit. Every soul reaper has one. I am a reflection of your soul,and as such I live with you and die with you.
I am the main source of your power. All zanpakuto have three states. The sealed state is the first state. It holds back a lot of my power. Next is shikai. This releases more of my power and changes the blade to better suit the power granted by shikai. Finally is bankai. This is the final release a soul reaper can perform and grants you greater levels of power then shikai ever could. It is interesting as to how you are still in a human body while being able to use me but we will figure out why later.
As for where we are,it is your inner world. It is where I live and where we communicate. This is where you will be training to fully master shikai before we even think about bankai. As for the transparent people those are what is referred to as a plus. They are spirits whose chain of fate has been broken and cannot return to their bodies. Soul reapers perform konso on these souls to send them to the soul society. If left alone too long the chain will eventually corrode and they will become a holllow.
Hollows are spirits that never passed on and lost their heart. They wear white masks and have a hole where the heart used to be. The second job of a soul reaper involves these spirits. The soul reaper uses their zanpakuto to fight and purify the hollow of any sins committed while a hollow and allows it to pass on to the soul society.
Any sins a soul has committed before becoming a hollow are not forgiven however. This is only happening now because this is the first time you have gained a backbone(Izuku:Hey!).You have admitted that you need to get stronger and you have admitted that you need to stop taking all the insults and everything else every day. I found you worthy to at least hear my voice. There is more that I know exists but I cannot tell you much. I do not know much about those topics. Talk to the man helping you when you awaken and all will be made clear."
Izuku mentally starts filing the information for later purposes and to remember everything. He then remembers the last sentence Junsuina said and asks a question. "What do you mean man? I get the helping me part because I was stabbed through the chest but how is he going to help with the whole ferrying the dead to the afterlife and cleansing souls who have been turned into murderous instinctual beasts hellbent on eating every soul they see?"
Junsuina just smiles reassuringly and pats Izukus head. "You'll see when you wake up. Now go on and get up to your business. Whenever ya feel like talking just meditate and I'll pull ya in."
Izuku just accepts this because his zanpakuto seems to know a lot and everything has turned out well so far from listening to him,well except getting skewered through the chest but otherwise everything turned out okay. When Izuku opens his eyes everything is blurry but he can make out a man shaped object above him,a smaller man shaped object to his right,and a feminine figure to his left.
"Oh hey he's waking up. I'm actually surprised he's waking up but I probably shouldn't be considering what I've seen this kid do and go through." He hears a feminine voice say. As his vision clears he hears a male voice reply. As he looks in that direction he sees a man wearing a green and white bucket hat,a black haori over a dark green shihakusho. He is wearing wooden sandals. We know this man as Kisuke Urahara. Izuku calls him Mr.Sandal hat in his mind since he doesn't know his name. Izuku then looks towards where he heard the female voice and sees a short,petite young woman in a black shihakusho. This is Rukia Kuchiki.
He then notices the sword at her waist and questions if she is also one of these soul reapers Junsuina mentioned. At the foot of the bed he sees what can only be described as a beast of a man. This is Tessai Tsukabishi. The three notice him looking around and help him out of the bed. Izuku then decides to be blunt for once in his life and blurts out "Which one of you is the soul reaper?" This immediately causes everyone to tense up.
Kisuke and Rukia draw their zanpakutos while Tessai gets into a stance ready to beat the shit out of someone. Izuku noticing the tense atmosphere slowly takes Junsuina off his waist and sets it in front of them,ignoring the longing feeling he gets when he lets go. He then proceeds to back away and sit back on the bed. Rukia asks him the most prominent question on everyone's mind,"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Ignoring the accusing tone in her voice,he answers with a small smile on his face. "My name's Izuku Midoriya. I am here because someone took me here against my will.(Cue looking at Rukia judgmentally.) Other then that Junsuina told me that the man I would meet when I woke up would tell me more than he could. So back to my question,which one of you is the soul reaper? Also could you pass me Junsuina I feel...odd not having him on me."
Still being cautious, Kisuke hands Izuku his zanpakuto and begins to smile when Izuku hugs the blade like it's his only friend.(Sadly Kisuke you would be right.) Kisuke then asks who Junsuina is even though he has a good idea. "Oh,Junsuina said he was a zanpakuto spirit! He's also one of my only friends. He's helped a lot with the whole 'Oh hey you now have a sentient sword that you have to use to send souls to heaven and purify them there's no getting out of this' stuff."
Everyone is glad he considers his zanpakuto a friend but they have 3 questions. Rukia asks these questions since Kisuke looks a bit shady to most people and Tessai is intimidating as all hell if you don't know him. "Well it's good you call your zanpakuto a friend,why did you call him one of your only friends? Surely you have other friends you'd like to tell us about. And how did you obtain a zanpakuto anyway? I haven't seen anyone around Soul society who looked like you or had your last name. There's also the fact you used your zanpakuto while still in your body and instinctively used shunpo with no formal training."
Kisuke and Tessai are surprised by these little tidbits of information and are curious as to how these events occurred. Izuku proceeds to tell them all he knows,which isn't a whole lot since his info source is Junsuina who somehow knew little tidbits of information himself. He tells them about what Junsuina told him about the tasks required of a soul reaper to make sure it is right,what Junsuina told him about his abilities,and anything else he can think of. After their little chat the three ask Izuku to show them his shikai. Izuku almost agrees to it before realizing that he just met these people and doesn't know their intentions. Just as he is about to refuse,Junsuina pops into his mind and speaks. "Good job catching that little tidbit right there. Never trust someone you just met and don't know the intentions of. These three however you can trust. The reiatsu coming off them shows they only have good intentions for you."
While having this mini conversation with his zanpakuto,all three individuals start to stare awkwardly. "Do you think we should get his attention somehow Kisuke?" Tessai asks as he goes to poke Izuku on the shoulder. As soon as he gets within poking distance however Izuku shunpos away to the other side of the room. Everyone is surprised by this because even though they can still see him move and he uses a decent portion of his stamina,he was decent at performing the technique with no training.
Izuku tunes back to the reality channel and finds himself in a different spot than where he was and everyone looking at him shocked. With a deadpan face he utters 6 words,"I did it again,didn't I?" Everyone face palms and asks him why he blanked out. "Oh! I was talking to Junsuina! I realized I didn't know you guys all too well and I probably shouldn't show off my shikai but then Junsuina congtatulated me on seeing that but that he could tell by your reiatsu that you had good intentions. He didn't tell me what reiatsu was though. Maybe one of you could tell me! That'd be cool!"
Izuku goes on one of his new Soul reaper power induced mutter storms. Tessai claps loudly bringing him out of it at the cost of him shunpo-ing under the bed.(A/n Bakugo bully's him. Explosions make loud boom. Tessai clap also make loud boom. I'd say this reaction is justified.) Everyone questions his reaction but then remembers the explosive Pomeranian. Once Izuku calms down a bit they exit the room they were in to enter the underground training area. They head towards the center fairly quickly and get ready. Kisuke tells Izuku to release his Shikai. "Raise your sword,Junsuina senshi!" The transformation happens again. After the bright light and gust of wind fade away,he is back in his shihakusho with Junsuina senshi in his hand.
Everyone is surprised by the amount of reiatsu they can feel coming off him. For someone with no formal training his reiatsu level is unnaturally high! He's had his zanpakuto a little over a day! How does he have this much!? Kisuke then asks Izuku if he can show of the abilities of his shikai.
Izuku declines. "The only ability Junsuina has taught me so far is Funsai-ten and that is pretty easy to understand so I don't think you would gain anything from it." Rukia is okay with this since she has gotten her questions answered and has a potential new ally. Tessai is going about business like usual. Kisuke is disappointed he doesn't get to see what Izukus zanpakuto can do but realizes he can train him to get there and gain both an ally and a way to watch over the child. Kisuke then asks a question that changes Izukus life forever.
"How would you like it if me and Tessai trained you" Everyone but Kisuke is stunned by this for different reasons. Rukia because she wasn't expecting Urahara to ask so suddenly. Tessai because he may have the chance to pass on his knowledge to someone else. Izuku is shocked because he just met this man and is already being offered to be trained.
Izuku thinks it over for a minute and comes up with his answer. "If you can get my mom to agree to this then I will train with you. If not then I'll just have to have Junsuina help me." Kisuke agrees to this and they shunpo to Izukus house. Once they arrive they will see something that changes Izuku in so many ways.
