After that little prank, Akeno ended up revealing the techniques Showman taught her from the battle. Turns out, she learned Sephiroth's illusion spells so she could cast solid constructs of herself to try and fool the enemy. Useful when trying to ambush and trick you enemies, Rias noted. Plus, her lightning was amped up to the levels of the Thundaga spell from the Final Fantasy games, which could destroy a boulder rather easily.
Afterwards, she said that she won't be able to watch the next video as she had to go visit someone and take care of business. As she left, Kiba, Xenovia and Asia soon showed what they had.
Kiba had taken to the Yamato replica well, clearly showing his skill in Iaijutsu, clearly using his knight speed to cut down the dummy by the time he sheathed his blade.
Xenovia was clearly using the Masamune well, albeit struggling to get used to the length but she managed to pull off some of Sephiroth's techniques like the Octoslash. It allowed her to strengthen her arms the more she swung it.
Asia began experimenting with the healing materia by using it to heal some of Azazel's forces. Turns out a stray devil wondered onto their turf so they terminated it, but it got a few good hits in and sent a few with broken bones. Luckily, Asia helped out and found that the materia healed at a fast rate.
After the little show, everyone decided to head off for the next day, unaware of what was going to happen next.
In Kuoh Academy, the teacher soon came into her classroom with an announcement.
"Class, I would like for you to meet a new transfer student. He just came from California. Please come on in."
Rias and Akeno's eyes widened at the student. It was Showman! Dressed in the Kuoh Academy blazer, with the shirt wrapped around his waist, a pair of blue jeans and black trainers. His hair was still as wild as ever.
"What's up, Players? Names Shawn Logan! At your service!" He said, which caused the girls to mutter. Then he saw Rias.
"Well, ain't this a sight for sore eyes. Didn't think I would run into you again." He commented. Soon all of the girls began clamouring around Showman.
"YOU MET ONE OF THE ACADEMY'S IDOLS?!"
"ARE YOU DATING HER?!"
"DID YOU DO ANYTHING PERVERTED TO HER?!"
"HOW CLOSE ARE YOU?!"
Annoyed, Shawn decided to do something quickly.
*BANG!*
He slammed his fist onto the board, causing everyone to shut up.
"Maybe if you stop your high school drama fantasies, I can get a word in. No, I am not dating her. This ain't no bad harem anime with a bland protagonist. I just met her at the gate. We talked for a bit and that's it. Me being here was a coincidence. Now, can I take my seat now? Or am I going to have to stand here and answer questions in which I have no care?"
That silenced everyone as they went back to their seats.
"Thank you. Now you can sit beside Rias. I'm sure you know who it is." the teacher said as he went to take his seat. Rias looked at him with incredulous looks. They'll have a chat with him later.
After school, Showman, Rias and Akeno soon made their way to the clubhouse. Along the way, they had a conversation.
"So, why are you here?" Rias asked
"Figured it would be easier to do the training sessions if I was here. Saves up on energy. Plus, I want to see the school live and in person."
Rias then added. "Also...Shawn Logan? Really?"
"Came to my mind."
They then opened the doors and saw the rest of the club plus the others waiting.
"So, Akeno still with her old man?" Issei asked.
"Yes. Unfortunately, she won't be able to see the next battle. Showman, may we?"
Showman smirked before turning into his real form before getting his warp spell ready.
"Ladies and gentlemen...let's get this show started!"
And with that, the entire club's occupants vanished to Showman's dimension.
"Now then folks, let's spin the wheel to see who is next! Usually Akeno will be spinning it but since she's not here…" Showman then grabbed the wheel and spun it with all of his might. When it stopped, the answer was shown: Koneko 2.
Koneko raised a brow in surprise.
"Guess it's my time." She said as she munched on a cupcake.
"Right. Now then...Let's see what is the match-up!"
Showman played the trailer as the music began
(Rok Nardin - The Devil)
The viewers saw black energy spiral around an individual as he stepped out with a black kimono and a skull mask. The biggest standout was his bright orange hair. He then spoke one word:
"BANKAI!"
Then on the screen showed the words:
GET READY…!
Soon they saw another male with bright blonde hair and blue eyes with whiskers on his face in a black and orange jumpsuit with a headband that had a leaf on it. He was currently running with a blue orb in his hand, before launching it shouting:
"RASENGAN!"
More words then showed on the screen.
"FOR A SHONEN SHOWDOWN!"
Then there was a split screen as they both were in truly powerful forms with the ginger being covered in bandages while the blonde was in a giant fox avatar. Just as they were about to fire, the screen soon showed the title:
NARUTO UZUMAKI VS ICHIGO KUROSAKI! TIME FOR A DEMONIC SHONEN SHOWDOWN!
With the trailer ended, the cast were shocked into silence before someone squealed in excitement. And it wasn't Issei.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! NARUTO VS ICHIGO! MY FAVOURITE ANIME CHARACTERS! THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER! SHOWMAN! PLAY IT!"
That shocked everyone with Showman being uneasy.
"OK...So Cat girl. You want to take a seat to get a better look?"
Koneko said nothing as she moved upfront. Mainly because Rias looked like she was going to orgasm from excitement.
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)
Wiz: Every fan of anime knows of the Shonen Trinity. The big three where the protagonists never give up no matter the odds.
Boomstick: And if you're expecting a battle royale between them, look somewhere else as we are pitting the only two that had completed their journeys, so sorry One Piece Fans.
Wiz: Naruto Uzumaki, ninja prodigy of the Hidden Leaf.
"OOOOH! One of the original shonen protagonists!" Rias said in sheer excitement. Meanwhile, Issei looked at Rias with a look that said 'wow.'
'And here I thought she was an epitome of grace…' he thought to himself.
Boomstick: And Ichigo Kurosaki, the enormously powerful Soul Reaper from Bleach.
"Woah, look at the carrot top." Issei said. Everyone looked at the hair. He did have a carrot top.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
Naruto Uzumaki
The audience's first sight was a village surrounded by a wall with a mountain range placed around the wall.
Sirzechs whistled at the sight. It felt like a serene place to live.
"Maybe I should find a place like that for a vacation?" Sirzechs muttered to himself.
Wiz: Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, is a pretty quiet town.
Boomstick: Not what I'd expect for a city full of ninja.
Wiz: Well, the whole idea of ninja is to be silent and with the shadows.
Boomstick: True. Still, there was at least one troublemaker among the bunch. The number one knucklehead ninja, Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto: I'm home, everyone! Naruto Uzumaki has returned to the Hidden Leaf Village!
BACKGROUND
Full Name: Naruto Uzumaki
Height: 5'10" | 180 cm
Weight: 112 lbs | 50.9 kg
Nature Affinity: Wind Style
Jinchuriki of Kurama (Issei: Who? RIas: He's- Showman: No spoilers!)
Seventh Hokage of Konohagakure
Enjoys ramen, red bean soup, and watering plants
Wiz: Life wasn't easy for NAruto. Orphaned at a young age, the young boy only knew loneliness and played the role as the local troublemaker as a way to get attention.
"Not a good way to get people to notice you but, if it helps him cope." Kiba said with a finger on his chin.
"Well, people do have different ways of gaining attention." Added Sirzechs.
"I know that…" Grayfia muttered, remembering the antics her husband did just to get Rias's attention
Wiz: But he did have one goal in mind: Becoming the next hokage.
Boomstick: Which is a fancy word for "ninja governor".
Wiz: The only way Naruto could reach such a prestigious position was to excel in ninja school.
Boomstick: Like ninja Harry Potter, though he should really find a place that'll teach him not to dress like a clown and run like a real human being. What does he think he is, an airplane?
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle at the weird way in which Naruto ran. It was rather bizarre
Wiz: Actually, his posture likely decreases wind resistance, which could be beneficial when moving at superhuman speeds where angular momentum is a smaller factor.
Boomstick: (mocks him), I remember when you ran like that in middle school.
Wiz: Hey, that was for research!
"Sounds like they have history." Issei said after hearing that tidbit.
"Perhaps childhood friends or something?" Azazel muttered to himself.
Boomstick: Sure, Wiz. Anyway, Naruto wasn't the best student, having being held back three times. Damn. Not even guys I know were held back that many times!
Wiz: Really?
Boomstick: Yeah, they all dropped out and became bikers or thugs. But despite all that, he still tried his hardest to reach his goal, but first, he'd have to learn how to control his chakra.
Koneko gasped as the memories of Kuroka filled her head. She was going to learn the power that tore her family apart. If she were to learn Chakra, then she would learn...Senjutsu
Rias had a few words to say.
"ARE YOU INSANE?! YOU WANT TO TEACH HER HOW THAT NEARLY KILLED HER?!" She roared, flaring her magic
"No. If you're done, then you will know that Naruto Senjutsu works on a different wavelength then your world Senjutsu. Just watch the damn video and you'll understand, savvy?"
Rias calmed down but still glared at Showman. She was also cuddling Koneko to calm her down.

Wiz: In Buddhism and Hinduism ideologies, chakras are, in simplistic terms, gates within the human body which can be opened to achieve enlightenment, but the ninja in Naruto's world had a slightly different interpretation.
Boomstick: I'll say, they weaponized it! Naruto can use chakra for all sorts of flashy attacks. He can heal himself, seal monsters away, walk up walls, or even stand on water like a ninja Jesus.
Wiz: In fact, there are five main elements of Chakra: Wind, which allows the user to mold wind, Water to control and mold water, Fire which allows the user to use fire, Earth, which grants control over the earth and thunder, which allows the user to control lightning.
Sirzechs couldn't help but whistle.
"Wonder why we can't use it as well as they can.
Showman simply smirked. He already had a plan in mind
Boomstick: DAMN! That is a lot! Hell, there are even many combinations but we'll be here all day so let's not go into too much detail.
Wiz: He's learned a number of chakra techniques, or jutsus.
Boomstick: Gesundheit.
Wiz: And even developed a few new ones of his own.
Everyone just looked blankly at the fact that Naruto farted in the dog boy's face and he recoiled.
"Well...that just happened." Azazel said in a monotone voice.
"A gas bomb counted as a jutsu?" Issei said as he lowered his head in disbelief.
"Can we move on?" Koneko deadpanned. She did not want to learn that.

Wiz: His signature move is the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Boomstick: Where he can copy and paste himself over and over and over again.
Wiz: Unlike the standard clone technique, shadow clones are tangible, with their own combat capabilities. By dividing his chakra between himself and his clones, it's nearly impossible to distinguish the real Naruto from the fakes.
Boomstick: Hell, those clones are so versatile, Naruto came up with a ton of techniques from holding opponents down to just beating the shit out of his opponent screaming his name
Everyone couldn't help but wince as the poor target was on the other end of the clones.
"I don't think that guy will be recognisable from those blows…" Issei couldn't help but wince. That made his battles with Vali and Saiorg look like after school fights.
Boomstick: But when strategies can't save the day, he can always just beat his opponents down with the Rasengan.
Wiz: By spinning chakra in his hand, Naruto creates a compact ball of energy which can blast through solid stone. While the Rasengan usually takes years to learn, Naruto figured it out after training for just over a week. Originally, he needed a clone to keep it stable but as the years went on, he didn't need to.
Boomstick: He's invented more Rasengan's than Willy Wonka's invented candies (Koneko: Can I have some sweets? Showman: Here you go. HAnds some gobstoppers over Koneko: Thanks) but his top pick is the Rasenshuriken. By combining the Rasengan with the element of wind, he uses it to turn the spinning ball into a spinning blade, this baby can trap you in a vortex of wind so sharp, it'll mess you up at a cellular level.
Wiz: Naruto has plenty of other techniques up his orange sleeves, including summoning, substitution, and transformation jutsus. He can even transform into a, uh... a naked woman.
Everyone's eyes widened at the sight of the naked female Naruto. Koneko pouted over the fact her chest was bigger than hers.
"OH MAN! THAT IS BREAST HEAVEN!" Issei said as he drooled over the sight.
"You do realise that is a guy right?" Showman spoke in a deadpanned tone
Issei's face then went blank when he realised something: He could be a hermaphrodite.
"DOH! NOW I'LL NEVER GET THAT IMAGE OUT OF MY HEAD" He yelled, scratching his head in trying to block out the thought.
Boomstick: Oh ho ho ho! Looks like he's been studying! I guess that's one plus side to not having parents, you don't need to worry about anyone walking in on you.
Wiz: While most individuals have chakra, everyone has a limit. The more physical and spiritual energy one possesses, the more chakra they'll have at their disposal.
Boomstick: Just like the gas tank for my chainsaw.
Wiz: Thanks to his heritage, Naruto already has a great deal of chakra.
Boomstick: See, the Uzumakis are famous for their extremely large chakra reserves, so he won't be running out of juice for a while.
Wiz: Even still, he has far more than he reasonably should, all thanks to the beast within.
Suddenly, everyone felt on edge at the sight of a large red eye. For some reason, it screamed power.
"And here it is...The beast within…" Rias spoke, feeling the excitement build up within her. Time to witness the baddest beast in anime history
Boomstick: Yeah, he's got a monster in his stomach.
Wiz: Let's backtrack a few years. On the day of Naruto's birth, his village was attacked by a chakra beast known as the Nine-Tailed Fox, a monster so destructive, a mere swing of its tails could level a mountain. In desperation, the hokage at the time sacrificed himself to split the Nine-Tails in two, sealing one half within his own son, Naruto.
Boomstick: So his first-ever birthday gift to his son was a giant pet fox that can destroy cities? I wish he was my dad.
Wiz: Well, at first the Nine-tailed fox was more of a cannon of explosive power. Eventually, Naruto discovered how to communicate with the Nine-Tails.
Boomstick: They didn't get along at first. Foxy would threaten to eat Naruto, Naruto would whack him over the head with a big shrine gate, you know, typical roommate drama. Still, they eventually became friends, and Naruto learned the fox's name was Kurama.
KURAMA
AKA the Nine Tails
Immeasurable chakra reserves
Formerly split in Yin & Yang halves
Can sense negative emotions & natural energy
Techniques
Tailed Beast Ball
Chakra shock wave
Wind Style Jutsu
Fire Style Jutsu
Wiz: Afterward, Kurama willingly shared his chakra with Naruto on a regular basis, and as a being composed of chakra, Kurama's reserves are gigantic.
Boomstick: With so much power at his fingertips, Naruto can enter a bunch of different super forms. First up is Sage Mode, which sounds like something he'd learn from an old wise-man or wizard, right? Nope, he learned it from a frog.
MODES
Tailed Forms
Sage Mode
Frog Kata
Senjutsu (Koneko grew nervous)
Gathers natural energy
Senses surroundings
Nine Tails Chakra Mode
Allows him to create arms of chakra
Can be combined with his sage mode for more chakra
Tailed Beast Mode
Can summon Kurama as an avatar
Allows him to use the Beast Bomb (Issei: Beast Bomb? Sounds dangerous)
Six Paths Sage Mode
Truth Seeking Balls
Flight
Asura Kurama
Turns into a large form of Kurama with nine tails, six arms and three faces
Ultimate attack: Six Paths: Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken
Wiz: This state increases all of Naruto's physical abilities. Furthermore, Sage Mode allows Naruto to perceive the entire area around him and tap into naturally occurring energy via Senjutsu.
"And there it is…" Sirzechs said with a grim look. Senjutsu. The one thing that can turn a user mad.
"Koneko. Are you sure…" Issei said with concern
"No. I need to see this." Koneko said as she stared at the screen. DIdn't help the shaking in her legs.
"OK, now to tell you the difference. See, in Naruto, Senjutsu takes in the natural energy of the world and purging it of the nasty shit. See, the reason why you devils could go mad is you don't filter the evil. You want to use Senjutsu, then you need to find a way to purge the evil out of the energy." Showman clarified
"So...if I don't want to go mad…" Koneko said to herself.
"...Then we need to teach you how to filter negative energy," Kuroka finished. She then looked at her sister with conviction. She was going to teach her how to use Senjutsu the right way.
Boomstick: He can enhance his chakra attacks by adding natural energy, but if he's not careful, he'll turn into a frog. No, I'm not kidding. (Issei: Really? Rias: Yep. The manga can be weird sometimes.) Though he does use a martial art called frog kata so it may fit.
Wiz: With Kurama's chakra, Naruto can enter multiple tailed-beast forms which drastically increase his physical prowess and energy output.
Boomstick: Best of which is the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, flame on! It got even better when he befriended Mr. Fox, upgrading to the stronger, faster, tougher, Kurama Chakra Mode.
Wiz: Chakra mode grants Naruto extra protection, a sense for negative emotions, and the ability to create additional chakra arms. In fact, he can create 9 at the same time.
Boomstick: Whoa! That's a lotta hands! Gotta wonder what kinda things he does with those, right?
"I know what I would do…" Issei giggled pervertedly, when suddenly he was grabbed by Rias.
"OK! OK! I WAS KIDDING!" He yelled, flailing his arms.
"Though that sage mode kind of looks like a holy power, doesn't it?" Irina asked with a cute thinking look.
"Indeed. It does take in the natural elements of our world." Micheal said as his sister agreed with him.
Wiz: Overwhelming attacks, extra maneuverability, creating rasenshurikens, the works.
Boomstick: Yeah, that's not what I was-
Naruto creates two small chakra arms on a finger.
Boomstick: AH! Creepy tiny hands! (Everyone laughed)
Wiz: He can also shroud himself in a Nine-Tails sized avatar and use Kurama's ultimate attack, the Tailed Beast Bomb, so destructive, it can level a mountain range. If we scale that to the other Tailed Beasts, the output must be 5 teratons of TNT
Boomstick: And for his final form, it's spoiler time, pay attention, 'cause... yeah.
"OH boy…" Rias said as she began rubbing her temples. Showman then gave a large drink.
"Thanks." She said, taking a large swig.
"Something wrong?" Azazel said.
"Let's just say...things get crazy. You might want your sake for this.
Ahem, all this chakra stuff started with an alien named Kaguya, who ate a fruit which basically created chakra. Later, she got all murder happy, so her sons stopped her. One of these sons, the Sage of Six Paths, had his own son named Asura, and Naruto is the reincarnation of him. So, yeah, Naruto's kind of an alien.
"Uhhhh…." That was the response from everyone, who looked confused.
"Yeah. Like I said. Confusing." Rias said with a sip of her drink
Azazel decided that a swig of sake would be useful.
Wiz: Through this connection, Naruto was gifted the most divine form of energy: Six Paths chakra. With it, he can enter Six Paths Sage Mode.
Boomstick: His strength gets boosted even more, he can fly, and he can use Truth-Seeking Balls, which are orbs of chakra that can transform into weapons and destroy anything they touch.
Wiz: He can combine all these forms and further add natural energy to his Kurama avatar to form Six Paths Asura Kurama Sage Mode, whew!
Boomstick: Good God, that's a confusing amount of forms. Anyway, Naruto is also an expert in hand-to-hand combat, and could run faster than the eye could see when he was just twelve years old.
Wiz: He's dodged a lightning speed punch from the Fourth Raikage, a feat considered comparable to his father, who could teleport. This puts him at around the third the speed of light. (Kiba: Damn. All these fighters are faster than us?)
Boomstick: He even dodged this lightspeed loogie.
Wiz: According to the fourth data book, this Light Fang attack does indeed move at light speed, over six hundred and seventy million miles per hour.
Boomstick: He's tough enough to survive getting stabbed, have his soul ripped out, or get smacked in the face with a beam that can slice the frickin' moon apart.
"OK, I am now convinced that if we faced him, we would be beaten like a sack of meat!" Issei spoke as they saw the moon being sliced.
Everyone agreed at the sight but Vali grinned in battle hungry lust.
FEATS
Pulverized Madara's meteorites (Koneko was shocked at that)
Dodged Madara's Light Fang (Kiba and Xenovia were envious at that speed)
Tanked Toneri's moon slicing blast (Everyone was surprised at that)
Survived a 1.25 mile (2 km) drop
Kurama defeated Hamura's golem
Powered through Amaterasu (Rias and Millicas was looking at the attack in shock and awe)
Fought Madara's Limbo shadows
Defeated Gaara, Pain, Kaguya, Toneri, Sasuke
ENded the Fourth Great Shinobi War
Became the 7th Hokage
Wiz: He's fought multiple Tailed Beasts at once, lifted a statue weighing several hundred tons, survived a fall from the clouds, gone toe to toe with invisible Limbo shadows, and pulverized six falling meteorites simultaneously. His chakra is so tough, he can power through Amaterasu, a fire jutsu with flames so strong, they burn other flames.
Boomstick: He can even make new eyeballs for blind people. What's up with that? Oh, and in his final fight with rival, and possibly closet boyfriend, Sasuke, their opposing power was so great, they obliterated miles upon miles of land, changing the weather and disintegrating a lake.
"HOLY CRAP! THAT IS A LOT OF POWER!" Issei yelled as he saw the carnage aftermath.
They all saw the large cloud formation and the remains of the lake. It was clear that those two...were beyond simple warriors
"I don't think it will be possible to reincarnate them…" Rias said quietly and everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
Wiz: Only then, after defeating Sasuke, saving the world from Kaguya, and reuniting the split halves of Kurama, Naruto finally achieved his dream, and became Hokage.
Boomstick: But he's still pretty dumb. I mean, he named his son Burrito.
Wiz: Boruto.
Boomstick: Eh, close enough.
Wiz: And if he runs out of Chakra, game over. But with his ninja skill and unpredictability, there is no way NAruto will fall and like his namesake, he'll power through like a raging storm.
Naruto: I'm not gonna run away, I never go back on my word, that's my nindō! My ninja way!
Everyone definitely agreed that this guy was crazy powerful. Koneko was in awe of how he managed to use senjutsu without going insane and the giant fox meant he was kind of like a yokai.
The Leaders definitely agreed that if he were to arrive in this world, then he must stay on their side. With that much power, who knows who would manipulate him for their own gain. Vali was smiling as he saw the feats he did. Perhaps he can give him a fight he wants.
Ichigo Kurosaki
Wiz: Shinigami. It may sound like a foreign word to some, but you all know what it is: the death god, the grim reaper of souls...
Boomstick: And a seventeen year old ginger with a badass sword.
"And here is one of the greatest shinigami of all time…" Rias spoke as they all saw the tall, ginger teen in black and white swinging a large blade. This intrigued all of the sword users of the audience.
Wiz: Ichigo Kurosaki seemed like a pretty normal kid growing up, doing well in school and learning martial arts from his father
Everyone winced at the 'martial arts' lessons. Seemed more like a one sided beatdown to them
Boomstick: And beating the shit out of any delinquents in the area
Wiz: Except there was one little oddity: He could see ghosts!
Boomstick: Whoa, it's like the kid from "The Sixth Sense"!
(We see the famous scene from the movie with Ichigo's hair over the boy's head)
Cole Sear: I see Dead people…
Asia cuddled up to ISsei, clearly scared.
"Scary…" She said. Issei hugged her to calm her down.
BACKGROUND
Full Name: Ichigo Kurosaki
Height: 5'11" | 181 cm
Weight: Approx. 145 lbs | 66 kg
Home: Karakura Town
Substitute Shinigami
Oken Shihakusho kimono
Trained by Urahara, Yoruichi, Hiyori, & Isshin
Wiz: One day, when he was nine years old, and walking home with his mother, young Ichigo noticed what he thought was a girl about to fall into a river.
Boomstick: So, naturally, he ran over to rescue her, like the brave little kid he was. But that was a stupid mistake...
Wiz: See, it wasn't really a girl at all. It was a Hollow, a monster spawned from an abandoned human soul, and it promptly killed his mother.
Everyone's eyes widened at the bloody corpse of Ichigo's mother. That had to be hard on the teen. The Angels all made a prayer in hopes for her soul to be at peace
Boomstick: Bummer. Reminds me of how I nearly lost my poor Mama Boomstick, (sighs) she always hated that ghost in the barn.
Wiz: Riiiight, well, Ichigo remained ignorant of the truth until years later, when he met a woman named Rukia, who held the illustrious job title of Shinigami, or Soul Reaper, a guardian of the dead who keeps balance in the universe by helping those who have passed move on to the afterlife; otherwise, they turn into violent Hollows.
Boomstick: And if you show up late to work, and it doesn't work out, the Soul Reaper can always cut Hollows down with their awesome swords, like samurai Ghostbusters. Anyway, the two of them got into a bind, and Rukia had to share some of her power with Ichigo. Turns out, he was a surprise Soul Reaper all along. Convenient.
Wiz: When accessing his Shinigami power, Ichigo leaves his physical body for a new one made up of Reishi, or spiritual matter, which makes him invisible to anyone in the living world, despite still being physically present. In fact, Reishi is the main component in spiritual matter, much like oxygen
POWERS & ABILITIES
Immense spiritual pressure
Superhuman strength & speed
Masterful swordsmanship
Getsuga Tensho
Getsuga Jujisho
Fullbringer: Tensa Zangetsu
Shunpo (Flash Step)
Blut Vene
Gran Rey Cero
Boomstick: And his new powers make him super deadly. He can move with blinding speed, cut through giant monsters with ease, survive being punched through whole city blocks, and even fly through the air.
Wiz: It's more accurate to say he walks through the air, using naturally occurring Reishi as footholds.
Boomstick: But let's get to the dicey part of his getup: that awesome sword! It's a Zanpakuto, a blade connected to its owner's soul. It may look like an oversized steak knife, but it's a Soul Reaper's best friend.
ZANPAKUTO
Name: Zangetsu (2 swords, 2 spirits)
Quincy Zangetsu
Former Name: Yhwach
Manifestation of Quincy Heritage
A piece of Yhwach's soul
Hollow Zangetsu
Former Name: White
Ichigo's original Zanpakuto spirit
Can activate Hollowification
Fused with Ichigo's Shinigami power
Bankai: Tensa Zangetsu
Wiz: Every Shinigami possesses a Zanpakuto spirit within themselves, which manifests as their sword. Ichigo's is called Zangetsu, well, both of them are.
"Let me guess. Another confusing bit of backstory…" Issei deadpanned.
"Yep." Rias answered.
"Give me something strong!" Issei said to Showman who handed him a drink.
Boomstick: Oh, here we go. Strap in, 'cause this shit's about to get crazy.
Wiz: Ichigo actually has two different Zanpakuto spirits, drawn from his weird and confusing heritage.
Boomstick: Alright, so long story short, Ichigo's a Soul Reaper because his dad is, too, but he's also part Quincy, which is a human with Reishi powers, because that's what his mom was, but he's also part Hollow, because his mom was possessed by a Hollow called White, and White got passed onto him when he was born. Oh, and he's also part Fullbringer, but nobody cares about Fullbringers.
Wiz: One of Ichigo's inner spirits is a manifestation of his Quincy side inherited from his mother, while the other is a fusion of his Shinigami power and the Hollow. Unfortunately, Shinigami and Quincy go together like oil and water.
Boomstick: Yeah, The quincy side tried to hold back Ichigo's fighting skill, but it didn't stop him. While trying to find a balance between these two sides, Ichigo learned plenty of neat techniques, like his bread and butter attack, the Getsuga Tensho.
Ichigo: Getsuga... TENSHO!
Everyone's eyes widened at the attack. That was a powerful wave from the sword, and the destruction it caused was insane.
"Xenovia." Kiba asked.
"Yes?" Xenovia answered.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Oh yes. We learn how to do that attack."
They looked at Showman with pleading looks. Showman just shrugged.
"Why not? It can surprise enemies easily."
Wiz: By concentrating his Reiatsu, or spiritual pressure through his sword, Ichigo can launch a massive slashing attack. Reiatsu is the way of applying spiritual energy to your physical capabilities, mainly offense and defense. Some are so strong, ordinary humans disintegrate from the presence.
Boomstick: It's like killer instinct. The more you feel it, the more you know you're gonna piss your pants. But we all know that attack is a sword beam and Ichigo can charge it up, fire from up close, or even blast two of 'em at once.
Wiz: From his Quincy side, Ichigo has used Blut Vene, a temporary defense which grants inhuman durability. From his Shinigami training, he developed exceptional sword skills and learned Shunpo, or Flash Step, which greatly enhances his speed.
Boomstick: But there's one really big deal we haven't talked about yet.
Ichigo: BANKAI!
Everyone's eyes were covered to prevent them from being blinded by the flash. They then saw Inchigo in a different set of clothes.
"OK...something tells me things are gonna be epic." Millicas said with stars in his eyes. Rias nodded with the same look.
"Yeah. When he goes Bankai...you know things will be extravagant!" She squealed.
Issei simply sweatdropped
"Still not used to her otaku side…" He said to himself.

Wiz: Over the course of his career, battling Hollows and protecting his friends, Ichigo has obtained many, MANY different super-powered forms, starting with the base Shinigami form, Shikai. Despite essentially being Ichigo's base, this form is strong enough to block an attack from the Sokyoku, said to have power equal to one million Zanpakuto.
Boomstick: The next step was Bankai. Normally it takes ten years to reach this form, but Ichigo did it in just two days, like a boss. But what can you expect from a prodigy like Ichigo? Everyone praised him for his abilities
Wiz: When using Bankai, one's power can grow anywhere from five to ten times greater. And according to the official data book, while in Bankai, Ichigo moves like lightning.
Boomstick: Wait, why does his sword shrink when he goes Bankai? Shouldn't it be bigger, since he's stronger?
Wiz: Technically, yes, but Ichigo can control its size to keep it more manageable. If Shinigami couldn't minimize their blades, some would have swords the size of skyscrapers.
"He has a point.' Kiba said. 'A smaller blade is better to use as it means more movement. The bigger the blade, it means less control."
Everyone agreed with that.
Boomstick: Awesome. Anyway, the Hollow inside wanted a piece of the action, too, so Ichigo gained a new power boost with a spoopy Hollow Mask! This form is strong enough to lift five iron pillars, each weighing nearly one hundred tons.
Wiz: Though, if he's not careful, the Hollow can take control of his body, sending him into a violent berserker state commonly referred to as Vasto Lorde. Despite the lack of consciousness, Vasto Lorde Ichigo could heal quickly and was strong enough to overcome Ulquiorra, who's powerful enough to nuke a city.
Everyone saw the large attack and gulped. The town wouldn't be able to survive an attack like that.
FEATS
Casually obliterates mountains (Sirzechs and Rias looked impressed)
Wrecked Wahrwelt palace
Survived Aizen's Fragor & Hado 90
Blocked the Sokyoku
Punched through entire city blocks
Lifted five 93 ton iron pillars (Koneko whistled at that)
Defeated Kenpachi, Aizen, Ginjo, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, Yhwach
Boomstick: After some quality training with his dad, Ichigo got a sort-of second Bankai, which most people call Dangai Ichigo. In this form, he shattered mountains without even trying, he broke through the Black Coffin attack, which distorts time and space, which sounds like a black hole. Right after that, he survived a shot so freaking big, the explosion could be seen for miles.
Wiz: By comparing this crater to those left by real-life bomb tests, I'd estimate the attack to have a maximum explosive yield of eight hundred and fourteen kilotons of TNT. That's like Ichigo surviving fifty-four Little Boys to the face. (Boomstick laughs) No, no no no no no! I meant... I meant the bomb, f-from 1945, not the... oh God.
Issei and Azazel couldn't help but snicker at the comment. Little boys…
Rias and Grayfia simply smacked the two on the back of their heads.
"Thanks. I thought I was gonna have to taze them…" Showman grumbled
Boomstick: Ah... Well, try as those 'Little Boys' might, all it did to Ichigo was burn his arm, and he didn't even care! This guy isn't the type to give up.
Wiz: For his ultimate attack, Dangai Ichigo literally becomes the Getsuga Tensho itself... -I know that's confusing, just roll with it- to summon the incredibly powerful Mugetsu.
Boomstick: Which busted up one of the biggest baddies in the whole series, but it also sacrificed all of Ichigo's powers. Wow, that's a raw deal.
"So it's more like a last resort attack?" Issei asked in thought.
"Pretty much. You can't have a powerful attack without any drawbacks. That is why you save them for a final blast." Azazel said in his infinite wisdom
"That is true. That is why the satans don't go all out unless I need to." Sirzechs added.
Boomstick: But seventeen months later, he managed to get them back with Fullbringer powers, which enhanced his physical abilities, but then he lost those too.
Wiz: It's worth noting that while in Fullbring Shikai, his normal sword swings were as strong as his old Getsuga Tensho.
Boomstick: But he still didn't give up. After training with some top-tier Soul Reapers and eating some food which gave him super Reiatsu, the moment came. In the most epic quenching of all time, an entire sea disintegrated to form his new True Shikai, complete with not one, but two Zangetsu Swords.
Wiz: Finally balancing the Shinigami, the Hollow, and the Quincy within, Ichigo had reached his full potential. He tamed his Vasto Lorde form, merging it with his Quincy side. In this form, he can combine his Getsuga Tensho with one of the strongest Hollow attacks, the Gran Rey Cero.
Boomstick: He also made a trip that normally takes a week in only nine hours and fifteen minutes.
Wiz: And last but not least, he achieved a brand new level of Bankai.
Boomstick: Which was immediately crushed by some old dude who wanted to destroy the universe named... 'ye watch'? 'You watch'? 'Ewok'?
"Err...Ew-acky?" Issei offered.
"No, I think it is Way-Och?" Asia added
"No no. It is Uwack.' Rias said in confidence...then facepalmed. 'That's not it! WHY DID THE AUTHOR GAVE HIM A TOUGH NAME?!" She screamed in frustration.
Wiz: Hmm... It's probably inspired by the Hebrew name for God, 'Yahweh', and the katakana ends with a sharp 'kuh', sound so... 'Yuhwach'?
Boomstick: Yeah, wach ya gonna do? (BOO!) Well, we can assume this Bankai worked similar to his old ones, increasing his physical speed and strength along with his Reiatsu tenfold. Even without his Bankai, he still cut moustache man to shreds.
Wiz: And then he lived happily ever after... until his kid became a Soul Reaper.
Boomstick: Yeah, what'd he name him? 'Bitchigo?'
Wiz: What?! No! It's Kazui!
Boomstick: Uh, I might have gotten it mixed up with the other, uh, enchilada kid or whatever.
Wiz: Ehh... close enough.
Now everyone was extremely impressed by the young soul reaper. He took on essentially other grim reapers with power similar to the four great satans, demonic beasts and a God...and still came out on top.
Kiba, Xenovia and Arthur was impressed by the sword, especially by the Getsuga Tensho. They really want to learn the attack.
Now for the debate…
"I...honestly have no clue." Issei admitted. They were both extremely powerful and their feats were extremely close. He was conflicted.
"Me neither. They are pretty much the same." Kiba added his two cents. Everyone then looked as Rias.
"Don't look at me! I like them both!" She said.
"Should we just watch the battle?" Rossweisse asked and everyone nodded in agreement. They took their seats and everyone sat down. Showman had the remote ready and hit play.
DEATH BATTLE
In the middle of a peaceful forest, Naruto Uzumaki is seen meditating under a waterfall as a bird flies by.
"So it begins in a peaceful area. A prelude before the battle." Micheal chimed in.
(*Cues: Shonen Showdown - Yates)
Ichigo arrives and observes the shinobi behind a tree.
Ichigo: What's that energy? Is that a hollow?
Kurama: Naruto, I sense a presence.
Naruto's unable to hear Kurama's warning as he's fallen asleep during his meditation.
"Dude. Seriously?" Issei Deadpanned.
"People do get lost in their meditation sometimes…" Rossweisse said, but she was a bit surprised by the action
Kurama: Naruto! Wake up!
Naruto opens his eyes and wakes up to see Ichigo ambushing the ninja with his Zangetsu.
"And it begins…" Rias said as everyone watched the match.
FIGHT!
Naruto quickly leaps out of the way as Ichigo slices at him and throws three Kunai at the Soul Reaper. Ichigo takes out a smaller blade from his robe and deflects them. The Hidden-Leaf ninja lands on the ground and can't seem to find his opponent.
Naruto: Woah! He's invisible!
Ichigo lunges straight at Naruto once more, with the Hokage only able to dodge the attack thanks to hearing the Zangetsu blade and starts running forward.
Ichigo: He can't see me? Good...
"I don't know...doesn't Naruto have spiritual awareness?" Asia said.
"Yeah. It won't be long for him to sense Ichigo." Azazel added.
Ichigo pursues his enemy on foot and launches several projectiles with his spiritual blade. Naruto continues running and avoiding the attacks before hiding behind a tree for cover.
Ichigo: Quit running, coward!
Naruto connects with his inner demon to seek Kurama's advice.
Naruto: Kurama! Any ideas?
Kurama: Naruto, keep moving! I'll direct you...
Ichigo charges up his blade to launch a Getsuga Tensho. Naruto is barely able to avoid the attack and stumbles, giving the nimble Ichigo a wide opening.
Ichigo: You're dead!
The swordsman seemingly ends the fight early by stabbing Naruto in the back, but the ninja disappears in a puff of smoke leaving behind a bomb, revealing it to be one of Naruto's shadow clones.
Ichigo: How the heck-!?
Before Ichigo can react, the bomb goes off and covers the area in smoke. Multiple Naruto shadow clones ambush Ichigo from the trees with his signature move, the Rasengan.
Naruto (clones): Rasengan!
The clones launch Ichigo in the air, whom Naruto leaps after as he transitions into his Tailed Beast Mode.
Naruto: I see you!
Now able to see his opponent, Naruto meteor smashes Ichigo into the river.
Naruto: Believe it!
As Ichigo recovers from the attack, Naruto creates a massive army of shadow clones.
Ichigo: Bring it on!
Ichigo places the Hollow mask on himself and launches his signature attack.
Ichigo: Getsuga Tensho!
The Substitute Shinigami eliminates a number of Naruto's clones, but still stands face to face with a large group of powerful ninjas. One Naruto leaps at him with a Rasengan that he dodges. Another attacks him using an extended Kurama arm that Ichigo consistently counters. Soon, the Naruto army begins to rush to Ichigo.
"Like a stampede. Hope Ichigo won't get trampled." Irina said in worry.
"I don't think so. If he can survive a black hole like attack, a stampede will be nothing." Micheal reassured his Ace.
Ichigo manages to take a number of them out with the fast movements of Shunpo.
Naruto: Transform!
One of the clones confuses Ichigo by using the Sexy Technique
Naruto: Well, big boy? Wanna have some..fun?
Issei was mumbling 'She's a dude…' to himself to tame the pervert in him.
But all it does is irritate him.
Ichigo: Really?
Ichigo slices the sexy clone in half, but it proves to be a trap, as three Narutos emerge from the ground to launch three wind attacks.
Naruto: Rasenshuriken!
Ichigo: Bankai!
Ichigo roars as he enters his True Bankai state to counter the wind shurikens. Naruto runs over to see his opponent's new form.
Ichigo: Yo! Not bad, but I'm still gonna beat your ass!
Ichigo launches a Gran Ray Cero at Naruto, which launches him back far. The Hokage stops careening by activating the Kurama avatar state.
Ichigo: Give me a freakin' break...
Ichigo manages to dodge a couple of the Kurama avatar's punches, but eventually is pounded into the ground by the large fox creature. Despite his exhausting and heavy bleeding, he refuses to give in.
Ichigo: Is that the best you can do?
"Man. What a badass. Despite being broken, he isn't giving up." Issei spoke in awe.
"Much like you…" Rias said but Issei was too invented in the battle to notice. The adults did however.
"You think the kid will ever notice your sister's feelings?" Azazel said
"I hope so." Sirzechs added.
Determined to win, Ichigo enters his Final Getsuga Tensho form. The transformation is powerful enough to send Naruto out of the Kurama avatar state. Ichigo covers the sky in darkness as he unleashes his ultimate attack.
Ichigo: Mugetsu!
The attack obliterates most of the forest and most of Naruto's clones. Naruto, however, doesn't succumb to the darkness.
"And that's that." Micheal said. They saw the atack cover Naruto, so he isn't going to survive.
They were about to get up but soon they heard...
Naruto: Kurama!
Naruto tanks the attack by entering into his ultimate form, the Tailed Beast Six Path Sage Mode. The shocked Ichigo is reverted back into his human form due to the Mugetsu eating up all his power. Despite being powerless, Ichigo grabs a nearby stick to make one, final stand.
"I don't think a stick is gonna work." Sirzechs said at the action.
"Well, it is best to go out swinging." Azazel countered.
However, all is lost for the Substitute Shinigami, as Naruto unleashes his largest attack, the Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken, and then compounds that with a Tailed Beast Bomb. The massive explosion caused by the attack obliterates Ichigo in one fell swoop. Before he dies, Ichigo lets out one final cry:
Ichigo: Screw you... BASTARD!
As Ichigo is disintegrated, the explosion is nearly the size of a continent, ensuring the shinobi a well earned victory as he reverts to his normal state and looks at the crater.
"Now THAT was a finisher!" Rias spoke. Her dream battle just came to life and she was in heaven.
Naruto: Phew! Who was that guy?
KO!
Naruto treats himself to a bowl of ramen, but it is stolen by the stretchy arms of another popular Shonen protagonist, much to Naruto's ire. Meanwhile, the explosion that killed Ichigo briefly interrupts the neverending battle between Chuck Norris and Segata Sanshiro before they get back to it.
Everyone roared in approval at the battle. It was fast-paced, had lots of flashy attacks and had an epic finisher.
"Now that was worth watching!" Millicas said in joy and everyone didn't disagree.
"Especially that last attack!" Issei agreed with him.
"Though who were the two fighting in space?" Asia spoke. They were also confused but they didn't care.
Results
Boomstick: Damn. Even without his powers, Ichigo never gave up. What a badass.
Wiz: Sorry, Bleach fans, I know you all really wanted to win, but unfortunately, this wasn't it.
Boomstick: Let's start off with the obvious. Naruto had better training, a broader arsenal, and a better healing factor. Yeah, Ichigo had some form of martial arts taught...but that was more of being blindsided. And Ichigo's invisible ghost body didn't really matter.
Wiz: Shinigami may be invisible, but they're still present in the physical realm and can be touched by normal people. Kurama can locate individuals by simply sensing their emotions and Naruto's even seen his own soul before. The whole invisible man schtick wouldn't really surprise him.
Boomstick: And with Six Paths power, he could see and fight Madara's limbo clones even though they were on a totally separate plane of existence. Yeah, he couldn't 'see' them, but he could sense them enough to beat them down
Wiz: Also, keep in mind that while chakra and reishi have fairly different uses, they both contain spiritual energy, so are the same thing, much like Naruto's Senjutsu. But now it is time for the main factors: Strength, Speed and Durability
"Ahh yes. The big three. Who is faster, stronger and tougher." Sirzechs said as everyone got ready to pay attention to the stats.
Boomstick: Let's talk speed. Naruto can dodge light speed attacks and can move faster than lightning. A lightning bolt's return stroke is two hundred and twenty million miles per hour, about one third the speed of light. Ichigo has also displayed lightning fast speeds and even greater.
Wiz: Near the end of the series, Ichigo took a trip that should have taken seven days, but instead took nine hours and fifteen minutes.
Boomstick: It's likely Kirinji here was referencing his accomplice's speed, like Ichibei, who can knock his foes two thousand four hundred and forty miles away and appear next to them in a second. Yhwachy guy beat him by going twice as fast, so we'll use that as Ichibei's limit. And don't forget, besides Ichigo, Ichibei is the strongest Shinigami out there.
Wiz: With that, we can get the trip's total distance and conclude Ichigo's top speed is three hundred and nineteen million miles per hour. That's massively hypersonic, but not quite light speed and don't forget, Ichigo's friends were in trouble, so he really was pushing it.
"Nothing like the right motivation to push you to your limits." Issei spoke in nostalgia, remembering how hard he pushed himself or his friends from saving Asia from Raynare to saving Rias from being married to Riser. Everyone also agreed with that as that had been their motivation.
Boomstick: Still, there's a difference between travel speed and reaction speed, as Naruto's already shown. Comparing them directly, Ichigo's best reaction should clock in at around nine hundred and seventy million miles per hour, forty percent faster than light speed and Naruto's reaction time. All right, point for Ichigo!
Naruto's speed: 220,000,000 mph/670,616,629 mph
Ichigo's Speed: 319,073,000 mph/972,616,000 mph
"Damn, that's fast." Kiba muttered to himself. 'I may need to push myself if I want to strike first.' he added to his thoughts.
Wiz: Speed alone wasn't enough, though, especially since Naruto's sage powers gave him superb field awareness, making it difficult for Ichigo to land a fatal blow.
Boomstick: If he could even land something fatal at all. Naruto's clones meant he could avoid hits and his healing factor could nullify any damage taken
Wiz: Ichigo has always had a tough time damaging foes who have stronger spiritual energy than him. With that said, let's compare his reiatsu to Naruto's chakra.
Everyone was eager to see the difference between their spiritual powers. What was stronger? Reatsu or Chakra.
Boomstick: Bad news is, across both of them, the only multiplier we know for sure is Ichigo's times ten Bankai. The times ten is difficult to achieve, but for Ichigo's sake, let's assume he gets the maximum possible boost from every transformation.
Wiz: His other forms likely don't boost his stats this much. For example, when he used his Hollow Mask to barely overpower an Arrancar, the situation and its results were similar to his then-comparable Shinigami friends releasing their limiters, which gave each of them a boost of times five. However, let's give the benefit of the doubt and apply the maximum times ten increase to all of Ichigo's forms that clearly increased his fighting potential. As well as stack them even though many forms were in separate, unconnected power sets. If we look at early fights, the limiter for Shikai is x5
Boomstick: And just to clarify, we won't use Fullbringer as it is weaker than his other forms, so it would rather hold Ichigo back, Vaste Lorde is the same as Merged Hollow and the Final Getsuga Tensho is an attack, not a form. For the sake of argument, we're deliberately overestimating Ichigo's power. You'll see why.
Wiz: So here's our formula! But, where do we start? Ok, Bankai Ichigo with his Hollow Mask was on par with Ulquiorra's first transformation, correct?
Boomstick: Well... nearly.
Wiz: Ulquiorra states his new form can destroy the city of Las Noches in the hollow world of Hueco Mundo. Specifically, Ulquiorra notes that the act of transforming will destroy it because of the form's boosted Reiatsu.
Boomstick: What is Hueco Mondo, anyways? Like, Mexican hell?
Wiz: Well, there is a wall...
Boomstick: Haha!
"...I don't get it" Rias said.
"One of our American presidents said he was going to build a wall around Mexico to stop immigrants. Obviously...it didn't pan out." Showman clarified.
AVG. walking speed = 3.1 mph
3.1 mph x 72 hrs = 223.2 miles
Perimeter = 223.2 x 8 = 1758.6 miles
Area of a Square = A^2
Wiz: Las Noches is square in shape and takes three days to walk from one corner to a gate in the center of the wall. So it has a total area of two hundred thousand square miles.
Boomstick: That's bigger than California! And destroying it in one go needs over four hundred thousand megatons of TNT.
Wiz: So, plug that into the formula, and there you have it! Ichigo's reiatsu is equal to over four hundred and forty billion megatons of TNT. That is 57 thousand times larger than the entire world's nuclear arsenal combined!
"Damn, that is a lot of power!" Azazel spoke
"Guess we found someone more powerful than you, Master Lucifer" Grayfia told her husband, and Sirzechs couldn't help but agree
Boomstick: Thankfully, Naruto's chakra level is much easier to figure out.
Wiz: His chakra was once extracted and burst a hole through the hollow moon. He survived the explosion, and it was explicitly said that this was nearly all of his chakra.
Sakura: Most of his chakra has been siphoned off.
(*Cues: Arashi)
Wiz: By measuring the aftermath from both sides, we found the blast to equal at least four hundred and eighty billion megatons of TNT. Forty billion more than Ichigo.
Boomstick: And don't forget, we were deliberately overestimating him.
Wiz: Also, this was BASE form Naruto, not including any increases from additional modes, which allowed him to block an attack that cut the moon in half. Assuming similar dimensions to the real moon, the energy needed to split a hollow version is 115 octillion joules. That is a force that had to be over twenty-seven trillion megatons. This proves Naruto can both output and survive a blast stronger than Ichigo is capable of.
"So Ichigo is faster, but Naruto is tougher." Sirzechs said
"And had more destructive power. I think we can agree NAruto had his match in the bag." Serafall added.
Boomstick: If you're thinking, "Wait, Boomstick, Ichigo survived a black hole in a box!" That move doesn't really work like a black hole. It is more of cutting the poor sap inside.
Wiz: Plus, the eight hundred fourteen kiloton Fragor blast did hurt him immediately after, so it must have been weaker than that. In fact, notice his uniform after the blast. When Ichigo loses power, his clothes are torn off.
Boomstick: "But Wiz, weren't Kaguya and Yh-waka waka planet busters? Don't they scale to them?"
"Yeah. Aren't they?" Rossweisse said in confusion. Everyone agreed also.
Wiz: Nope! Kaguya's planet busting attack required chakra from nearly the entire Earth's population, not just her own. And while Yhwach's power was pretty OP, he couldn't destroy the world through his own destructive capability. He only planned to manipulate the delicate balance between life and death by stopping the flow of souls. Like a plate spinning on a stick, if one side gets too heavy, the whole thing comes crashing down. Besides, Naruto and Ichigo did not need to be capable of planet busting.
Boomstick: To sum it up: Ichigo had the speed, they both had the guts, and Naruto had the strength, durability, training, and abilities for days. Naruto sure got the Shonen Jump on Ichigo.
Wiz: The winner is Naruto Uzumaki.
With the match over and everyone went to get some food and discuss the battle, Showman took both Koneko and Kuroka to the side.
"Now then, for this bit, I need your help Kuroka. Time to teach your kid sister true Senjutsu."
"Of course. Come Shirone." Kuroka agreed as they took her to the training room. Koneko was worried she may go mad but if it meant helping Rias…
Speaking of which, Rias looked at the retreating figures. She was worried.
"Don't worry. If he managed to help me and Akeno with our issues, he'll help Koneko out too." Gasper spoke with a sweet smile.
In the training room, the area turned into a large field, filled with lush vegetation and flowers. It was an untapped paradise.
Soon all three got into a meditative pose with Kuroka and Showman, giving advice to the younger girl.
"Just relax, Shirone. Let the energy flow through you...The natural energy must flow through your body at a natural pace…" Kuroka said in a soothing tone. Koneko had her eyes closed as she felt the energy flow through her. She could feel it. Enhancing her core, powering her up, making her more aware but…
Memories of a bloody massacre and her being caught filled her mind. This broke her concentration. Her eyes shot open as she gasped out. Fear filling her mind.
"What's wrong?" Kuroka asked as she went to touch Koneko, but she knocked it away.
"I-I can't...What if I go mad…I don't want to become a stray…"Koneko said as she curled upon herself
Showman decided to run interference.
"Well, why not focus on the good times you had?"
Koneko looked on in confusion.
"Sometimes to break away the dark times is with happy memories. Try thinking of the good memories you had with your friends. Maybe that will work. Remembering the time you got into a massacre ain't healthy. So fuck the past, it don't matter. Focus on the present and think about the future."
Koneko took the words into consideration and tried again. This time she remembered the good memories she had with Rias and her friends.
The energy began building up as she began to mentally purge the negative energy with the help of happy memories.
Both Showman and Kuroka looked on with smiles. It was working.
When the door opened, everyone was shocked to see Koneko.
Now she had two pairs of twin tails and cat ears, her eyes were now slits and she had a pair of fangs coming out.
"Well, what do you think?" Kuroka said as she and Showman presented the new form of Koneko.
Issei made his comment known
"WOAH-HO-HOAH! A CAT GIRL! NOW SHE IS EVEN MORE CUTER! OH, THIS IS THE BEST DAY EV-ACK!" He began to proclaim before a bat small club appeared and knocked him out.
"Claws in, Pervy pants."
Rias approached.
"You-You managed to use Senjutsu?" She said in awe
"YEah." She answered.
"How are you not going mad?"
Koneko smiled at the two.
"Just had happy memories...
