Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or Naruto.
Land of Wind-Land of Rivers border 400 miles from Sunagakure
Team Gai has encountered a massive Chakra level that is unlike anything they felt in years. Kenpachi stands over them emitting a massive amount of Reiatsu . Neji's Byakugan is a bit burly just staring at his immense surge of Reiatsu.
"What an incredible amount of Chakra, it's more immense that the ones i sensed from Naruto back at the Chūnin exams also that uniform isn't an Akatsuki's robe that uniform." Neji explained to his teammates.
"Then who is this guy?" Tenten asked while barely able to stand . Kenpachi's Reiatsu is so immense that Tenten could barely even move.
"Didn't you heard me? I'm here to fight you to the death ! Which one of you would go first?" Kenpachi asked the group.
"Well leave that to .." Lee answered as he's about to jump in but Gai steps up and challenges the eyepatched manic with his own intense Chakra .
"I'm Might Gai, Konoha's most élite Jōunin the Mighty Beast Gai, have we met somewhere before?" Gai asked Kenpachi.
"A Jōunin huh, that means you might give me a good fight here." Kenpachi answered.
"That sword , it also contains a high level of Chakra . He must be one of the 7 Ninja swordsmen of the Hidden Mist, like the one who fought Gai a few years back." Neji stated .
"That explains why he's so ridiculously strong." Tenten replied.
"I assume all of you are pretty strong . How about the four of you come at me at once? Maybe this may make a good warm up exercise." Kenpachi asked the group of Team Gai .
"This guy, this 's no ordinary foe, he's like a Bjuu himself. Are all Captains like him this powerful?" Neji said to himself.
"This looks like a good fight here." Lee answered as he goes to attack only to be stopped by Neji .
"Are you out of your mind? There's no way we can fight this guy alone, it's doubtful if even Gai and myself can fight him and were both Jōunin." Neji explained to Lee .
"Are you insane? We're barely standing up to this guys Chakra level." Tenten replied as her legs are shaking from the weight of Kenpachi's Reiatsu when suddenly Yachiru appears from behind Kenpachi and leaps onto Neji's shoulder.
"What the hell is she? Her Chakra is almost similar to Lee's yet she's just a child , this is madness." Neji said to himself as he looks at Yachiru's power with his Byakugan.
"This Chakra, it's so dense that it feels like i'm drowning." Tenten said to herself as she falls to her knees.
"Look at that girl, that girl seems to be having trouble breathing Kenny." Yachiru said to the group .
"Well what do you expect? She's the weakest one here Yachiru." Kenpachi replied.
"Hey watch your mouth, don't underestimate me." Tenten shouted angrily as she takes out her scrolls and then uses her Jutsu while flowing Chakra through her body and manages to stand up to attack.
"Tenten no!" Neji shouted as she takes out her scrolls.
"Sōshōryū (双昇龍Rising Twin Dragons Control )" Tenten chanted as she summons a shower of 100 swords, 200 kunai ,and 250 shuriken. They all directly hit Kenpachi at all his 361 Chakra points but despite the dead on accuracy of those attacks . Not a single one hit him except for one big sword and even then it only lightly pierced his shoulder by an inch, the blade only managed to cause a small starch which Kenpachi removed with ease.
"Boy guess Kenny was right, that girl was the weakest of the team." Yachiru said to Neji while on his shoulders.
"Impossible , Tenten missed!" Lee shouted.
"They didn't miss, they all hit directly however his Chakra level is so high that they couldn't even pierce his skin." Gai replied.
"Impossible , barely a starch!" Tenten stated in shock.
"This is bad, this guy is a monster . To take that many attacks moving as fast as bullets with each blade strong enough to pierce through boulders with only a starch, this guy is a complete monster." Neji said to himself.
"Is that all you got ?This won't even be a good warm up." Kenpachi said to Tenten as he raises his sword at the brunette Kunoichi as he's about to kill her with a dashing attack.
"Shit ! Tenten is in trouble!" Neji said to himself.
"Crap , i got to get the hell out of here." Tenten said to herself only to see Kenpachi in front of her moving at 3,666.6 ft/sec (2,500 MPH).
"He's fast!" Neji said to himself .
"I can't escape!" Tenten said to herself as Kenpachi is about to cut her in half .
"Hakke Kūshō (双昇龍 Eight Trigrams Air Palm)" Neji chanted as he uses a shockwave to knock back the brute 100 feet away but Kenpachi easily regains his footing like it was a light push with not a single internal injury on him.
"Not a bad attack, but you need to do better than that." Kenpachi said to Neji only to see a basketball size spike ball with exploding tags on it thrown by Tenten .
"Take this ! Tenten's special Kunai Bomb!" Tenten shouted as the 3 foot bomb explodes destroying everything within a 50 foot radius.
"Nice going Tenten!" Neji said to Tenten .
"Thanks!" Tenten replied .
"Silly Bishie eyes, Kenny isn't dead. You need to use a stronger move than that." Yachiru responded as Kenpachi emerges out of the smoke.
The smoke clears up to reveal that hundreds of those spike shrapnel punched 4 inch wide 5 foot deep holes within every rock formation within that 50 foot radius and even created a 16 foot diameter, 4 foot deep crater Kenpachi is standing on but the blast didn't even put a starch on him despite releasing 625 Pounds of TNT explosive force.
"That was my best weapon and he doesn't even have a starch on him." Tenten stated in shock.
"No kidding this guy is using his Chakra to shield from out attack, he's condensing his Chakra as some sort of armor, making it impossible for him to be harmed by nothing less than the most skilled or powerful opponents." Neji explained to the team.
"To use that much Chakra to block Tenten's attacks and Neji's air palm, that means where in for a good fight." Gai replied smiling .
"You guys can't hurt Kenny with such weak attacks." Yachiru said to the team.
"It's time we stop playing around!" Kenpachi replied as he gets ready to fight .
"Don't underestimate us, we came to find the kidnappers of Gaara, just who are you guys?" Neji asked the eyepatch man with the psychotic grin.
"Blah blah ! You're noisy ! Just come on and fight already. It's best if all four of you come together. If you four surround me and attack at once, maybe one of you will actually wound me." Kenpachi arrogantly stated.
Suddenly two more people arrive at the scene, Ikkaku and Yumichika rush to where Kenpachi is at. Both of them are a bit exhausted from the run.
"You plan on taking all of them on in a fight? That's not fair!" Ikkaku complained.
"You guys are late, why didn't you idiots come here sooner?" Kenpachi asked his team members.
"You were running too fast as usual!" Ikkaku replied.
"This is just another example of your insanity." Yumichika stated .
"Sanity ?Worthless things like that, i never had them for as long as i can remember!" Kenpachi replied laughing.
"This guy is totally out of his mind!" Gai responded.
"Yeah like you have room to talk, you're the same madman who makes us run 500 laps around Konoha every morning." Tenten stated.
"This eye patched manic is just as sane as you Gai." Neji replied.
"Come on Kenpachi, let me have that pretty boy with the grey eyes." Yumichika said to Kenpachi.
"Faggot!" Neji replied grossed out by Yumichika flirting with him .
"My, my, someone seems a bit homophobic . The hard to get ones are always the horniest and hottest ones." Yumichika stated licking his lips
"Sorry but my clan has a stance against Homosexuals, besides you can't possibly fight me with such a weak Chakra level." Neji replied back at him.
"Aren't we feisty ? I'm 5th Seated officer in the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, Yumichika Ayasegawa what is your name ? " Yumichika asked Neji.
"Jōunin of Squad 3, Neji Hyūga of the Hyūga clan." Neji answered as he dashes at Yumichika moving so fast that Yumichika barely has time to react.
"He's too fast for me to fight!" Yumichika said to himself as he struggles to move but Tenten throws a smoke bomb between Neji and Yumichika.
"What are you doing Tenten?" Neji asked his partner.
"Neji let me fight this purple hair guy." Tenten answered.
"Go ahead, he's too weak. Gai might need my help against this big brute." Neji replied.
"And i will take Bushy brow Jr here as well." Ikkaku stated.
"Very well , i would be happy to fight you." Lee replied happily.
"So you want to fight too? Fine, you can have them, but fight elsewhere. If you get in my way, i 'll chop you up first by mistake." Kenpachi said to his teammates.
"Thank you sir!" Yumichika and Ikkaku replied.
"Allow me to assist you Gai against this brute." Neji asked Gai.
"Denied Neji , this is a one on one fight . Remember the motto of our squad? When there are enough foes in the battlefield, we fight one on one." Gai explained to Neji.
"But Gai , he might be too strong for either of us alone, we have a better chance attacking as a team." Neji stated.
"Just stay back for a while . When i'm defeated, you get to fight him." Gai replied.
"Fine!" Neji replied back as he backs down only for Yachiru to jump on his back .
"Can i watch the fight with this guy there?" Yachiru asked .
"Sure but keep your distance and bug eyes, do anything to her and you're going to be the first one to die." Kenpachi answered.
"Don't worry, i don't hurt children!" Neji stated.
"Good , keep it that way!" Kenpachi replied as he prepares to fight Gai.
"Let's get out of Kenny's way!" Yachiru said to Neji as she drags Neji to a hill 600 meters from Gai and Zaraki's position.
"This little girl is strong. She's able to lift a grown man so easily and her Chakra level is on the level of a Jōunin . Even if i got into a fight with her, there's no guaranteeing that i can beat her and then there's the Captain. His power level is almost as high as the current Hokage. They seem to be playing around with us for now and let's hope it stays that way but even then , can Gai beat someone with all that hidden power? " Neji said to himself .
100 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout
Naruto and Byakuya stare down at each other and Naruto notices a sword in Byakuya's hand.
"Who are you and what do you want with me and Gaara?" Naruto asked Byakuya.
"I already told you boy that i'm Captain Byakuya Kuchiki , the reason we are after you is because you process the Kyuubi." Byakuya stoically answered
"So you're the rotten bastards who took Gaara? Where are you hiding him?" Naruto shouted.
"That's none of your concern, come with me quietly or i would use force, the gap in our powers is obvious." Byakuya stoically stated with an arrogant tone as he raises his white Reiatsu.
"This guy is strong!" Naruto said to himself as he pulls out his kunai and is about to attack but before he can react Byakuya appears behind him and attacks with a swift slash that cuts Naruto's kunai and cuts him across the chest. Naruto falls to the ground as Byakuya draws back his sword Naruto is on the ground .
"Disappointing, but then again a mere Genin could never compare himself to someone who's a Jōunin." Byakuya said to Naruto while pushing his hair back but he then sees he hit a log.
"It's far from over!" Naruto replied as he appears behind Byakuya holding a kunai knife behind his back.
"Impossible!" Byakuya stated in shock trying to retain his stoic tone as Naruto stabs Byakuya from behind with a kunai knife.
"Gotcha!" Naruto shouted only to see he actually hit a piece of paper.
"Not bad, i can see why you're considered a Shinobi." Byakuya said to Naruto as he holds his blade towards Naruto's neck from behind.
"So you used Substitution Jutsu as well?" Naruto asked Byakuya.
"Way of Onmitsu, 3rd of the Shihō. Utsusemi (空蝉; Cicada, referencing their molting) . It allows me for a movement at great speed, leaving an afterimage behind. It is a technique taught to me by my teacher." Byakuya explained to Naruto with slight anger in his stoic tone as he thinks of Yoruichi.
"Doesn't matter, i'll defeat you and rescue Gaara." Naruto replied as it's revealed Byakuya was holding on to a clone.
"Another clone?" Byakuya asked as he see Naruto come at him with his kunai.
"I'll kick your ass and rescue Gaara!" Naruto shouted as he glows with blue Chakra as he clashes his kunai with Byakuya's Zanpakutō.
"I'll defeat you and bring you to the Soul Society." Byakuya replied as his Zanpakutō glows pink.
The auras collide and creates a 20 foot collision wave causing all the trees and rocks around them to get destroyed and creates a bright light that can be seen from 1,600 feet away .
Land of Wind-Land of Rivers border
Gai and Kenpachi stare down at each other . Both of them release so much energy that the rocks around them start to shake a bit.
"So you're much stronger than i expected? I'll give you an edge , you can hit me anywhere you want." Kenpachi said to Gai opening up his shirt and showing off his chest.
"So it's my turn to attack? Not very smart to leave up your guard down." Gai answered as he goes to ball up his fist and does a lunging punch hitting Kenpachi dead center in the chest, however the force of the punch the blow causes his hand to bleed no sooner he hits Kenpachi's chest .
"Is that all you got?" Kenpachi asked Gai.
"You're no joke, you're just as strong as you look . Guess these weak punches won't work." Gai stated as he punches a nearby 30 foot diameter boulder and effortlessly shatters it. The same punch that failed to starch or bruise Kenpachi is capable of effortlessly shattering boulders the size of houses.
"I see so you're holding back to make the fight more intense. I admire that , in fact let's make this fight as long as possible, or at least until i get the rust off this sword." Kenpachi said to Gai.
"Better get ready , i'm about to get serious!" Gai replied as he goes to remove his weighs on top of a 50 foot rock and drops them on the ground creating a massive 5 foot deep crater.
"Weights , so you have some form of limiter?" Kenpachi asked Gai .
"You can think of it that way!" Gai answered as he dashes moving at 18,333.3 ft/sec (12,500 MPH ) and punches Kenpachi through a massive rock causing him to lose a few teeth.
"Now that's what i'm talking about!" Kenpachi shouted in joy as he gets back up and recovers from the strike.
Kenpachi then hits the ground with his sword , releasing an immense Reiatsu tidal wave over 100 feet high and across like an arc coming at Gai. Gai blocks the attack using both his arms in a guarding position. His wrists are slightly burned by the Reiatsu, ten 50 foot rock formations were leveled from the wave as it stretches 1,000 feet around Kenpachi.
"Not bad, but let's see if you can keep!" Gai replied as he uses Shunshin to appear behind Kenpachi goes to punch him but Kenpachi uses his sword to block the punch.
"Did you think i couldn't follow your speed?" Kenpachi asked Gai.
"You need to move a bit faster than that to catch me." Gai answered as he moves at high speeds.
Kenpachi swings his sword vertically but Gai dodges the attack but Gai dodges it the attack and edge of the sword with his elbow but his elbow gets a light cut. Kenpachi then leaps in the air for a jump slash but Gai dodges the attack and goes for an attack.
"Dynamic Entry (ダイナミック・エントリーDainamikku Entorii)" Gai chanted as he performs a jump kick aimed at Kenpachi's chest but Kenpachi catches his foot .
"Gotcha!" Kenpachi replied as he raises his sword with his right arm while holding Gai's right foot with his left arm and cuts Gai's shoulder with a powerful slash that causes a 50 foot long , 5 foot deep fissure in the ground. Gai escapes last-minute to avoid being cut in half.
"That was too close for comfort!" Gai said to himself .
"You managed to dodge just a split second before the hit landed on you , you really are fast." Kenpachi stated.
"And you're very powerful, just dodging the blade 10 feet from you and i got this wound , had you hit me directly, i would be cut in half." Gai replied holding on to his shoulder.
"This should be fun!" Kenpachi responded as he surrounds himself with golden Reiatsu and Gai is surrounding himself with a light green Chakra aura.
600 meters north from the border
Neji and Yachiru are watching the fight between Kenpachi and Gai as the canyon valley is engulfed in their Reiatsu/Chakra mixture.
"What an intense Chakra, i haven't seen Gai go all out like this since he competes against Kakashi." Neji said to himself.
"Boy Kenny is really having fun there! " Yachiru said to Neji.
"My concern however is this little girl, she's far from ordinary. Tenten who is equal to a Special Jōunin can barely stand up to this much spiritual power yet this little girl could just do it with ease, for her to withstand the clash of two Jōunin, she must be .." Neji said to himself but Yachiru gives him candy.
"Hey you remind me of this cute guy that hangs with Kenny." Yachiru said to Neji .
"Who are you and more importantly, why is it that i sense more spiritual energy than physical energy? It's almost like your body is made from Chakra entirely?" Neji asked her.
"Lieutenant of the 11th Division in the Gotei 13, Yachiru Kusajishi." Yachiru answered.
600 meters west from the border
Meanwhile at the other side. Rock Lee and Ikkaku are preparing to fight each other. Ikkaku does his lucky dance in preparation for his battle .
"Luc-Luc- -lu-lulu-lucky, how am i lucky ? I am lucky , not so lucky but me that's why i said me, lucky lucky lucky me." Ikkaku said to Lee as he dances around on his toes and then does a handstand with the sheathe of his sword and holds his sword in a guarding position.
"That is a cool dance, it seems you're a formidable foe, let us battle like warriors." Lee replied while in battle position.
"This kid is speaking my language for once!" Ikkaku said to himself smiling.
"Here i come!" Lee said to Ikkaku as he dashes at the bald-headed Shinigmai .
"Bring it on!" Ikkaku replied as he goes to fight Lee .
They both dash at each other and come at each other. Ikkaku takes out his sword and lunges with his sword holding the blade with his left hand . Lee dodges the blade and throws a punch towards Ikkaku but the 3rd Seat blocks with his sheath in his right hand. They clash attacks 5 times before Lee goes for a high kick but Ikkaku evades in and goes for a backflip slash.
"You dodged it, you move well kid!" Ikkaku said to Lee .
"Same to you, using your sword and sheath in combat, you are a genius at Kenjutsu." Lee replied as he comes at Ikkaku again.
Lee attacks with another series of high kicks and low kicks but Ikkaku blocks them with his sheath . Rock Lee dodges the sword strike and nearly hits Ikkaku with an axe kick and follows up with a rear spinning low kick which knocks Ikkaku's sheathe of his hand.
"Damn, this kid is pretty fast!" Ikkaku said to himself .
"He's going to be tough!" Rock Lee replied to himself as he throws a punch but Ikkaku blocks it with his blade .
"He's also strong enough to attack my blade barehanded without any deep cuts." Ikkaku said to himself as he then gets hit by Lee's left hand that sends him flying 20 feet high but he recovers by standing on the air and lunges at Lee with a diving lunge strike knocking the Bushy Brow Shinobi 20 feet across a 50 foot rock formation.
"That was a good hit!" Rock Lee said to Ikkaku.
"You're pretty good kid. How about i get your name kid?" Ikkaku asked Lee.
"Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast , Chūnin of Konohagakure and Taijutsu specialist Rock Lee." Rock Lee answered.
"3rd Seat of the 11th Division in the Gotei 13. Ikkaku Madarame, you're an interesting guy." Ikkaku stated.
"No one told me that before!" Rock Lee replied enthusiastically.
"You're certainly a talented fighter, let's see what you got kid." Ikkaku said to Lee with a simile.
" I'll be glad to have an honorable duel with you." Lee replied.
"I like your style, now this is what i live for." Ikkaku responded happily as he clashes with Lee.
Land of Wind-Land of Rivers border
Meanwhile, Gai is fighting Kenpachi, They continued to clash attacks with each other. Kenpachi swings his sword at him and comes at him with a powerful strike.
"Severe Leaf Hurricane( 木ノ葉大旋風 Konoha Daisenpū)" Gai chanted as he does a spinning back kick, with such speed that not even Kenpachi can follow Gai's movement, smashing Kenpachi with overwhelming strength. The attack creates a bruise across Kenpachi's chest just form the force wave.
"What?" Kenpachi asked himself shocked to see himself damaged by Gai's kick .
"Sorry but i have a long life still left in me!" Gai said to Kenpachi but the eyepatch Captain is grinning at the fact Gai hit him with a strong attack capable of bruising him.
"Now that is what i look forward too, yeah this is getting real interesting, this is where the fun begins." Kenpachi shouted as his spiritual power increases and he comes at Gai.
"This guy really is tough!" Gai said to himself as he sees Kenpachi get back up.
"Mōda (猛打, Heavy Blow) # 15 Poseidon no Chōseki(ポセイドンの潮汐Poseidon's Tide ) " Kenpachi chanted as he spins around his sword in a hammer throwing stance generating immense amounts of energy around his blade.
"Severe Leaf Hurricane( 木ノ葉大旋風 Konoha Daisenpū)" Gai countered by countering the move with his kick causing another collision wave smashing more rocks launching both of them 100 feet in the air.
Gai and Kenpachi continue there fast paced fighting in the air . Gai uses a flying kick to hit Kenpachi but the Squad 11 Captain blocks with his sword. Kenpachi goes for a horizontal slash but the Team 3 leader dodges the attack. Gai tries to punch Kenpachi but Kenpachi grabs his right hand , but Gai does a high kick that knocks Kenpachi's Zanpakutō off his right hand and knocks him back in the air . He lifts the sword with his hands and comes at Kenpachi with it but the Reiatsu burns Gai's hands.
"You fool, only i can wield a Zanpakutō, not a human." Kenpachi said to Gai.
"I see, shouldn't wield weapons that i don't know how to use , that's why i'll use my own." Gai replied as he takes out a pair of Nu-chunks in his hand and then swings them around counter clock wise on his right hand then switches it with his left hand then switches the weapon around his hands 5 times and then releases a shockwave with the Nu-chunks that destroys several small rocks within an 50 foot radius and cracks large rock formation.
"Excellent, this should be interesting!" Kenpachi replied with his sword drawn out.
"I would hate to disappoint you!" Gai responded as he goes to attack Kenpachi.
"It's been a while since i faced such a powerful foe, my sword has been sharpen form the intense Reiatsu . Let's really begin, shall we?" Kenpachi shouted as he dashes towards him with a psychotic look on his face .
600 meters east from the border
Tenten and Yumichika prepare to fight each other within the grasslands leading to a forest nearby which is the Land of Rivers.
"Is that Gai's Nunchucks? This Kenpachi guy must be very strong. Just being 2,000 feet of him i can sense his immense Chakra." Tenten said to herself.
"Looks like the Captain is really at it, it might be dangerous to stay here for too long, therefore i must dispose of you and get to that hunk." Yumichika said to Tenten.
"You really are hardheaded. He's no interested in men. Besides you think you can beat me uh.. who are you anyways?" Tenten asked Yumichika.
"5th Seated officer in the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, Yumichika Ayasegawa." Yumichika answered .
"Weapon Specialist and Chūnin of Squad 3 of Konohagakure Tenten." Tenten stated.
"You really have the worse taste in clothes, how tacky." Yumichika said to Tenten .
"What was that ? You shouldn't be talking with that tacky orange collar." Tenten replied.
"OH THAT'S IT BITCH TIME FOR YOU TO DIE!" Yumichika shouted as he swings his sword at Tenten but Tenten summons a sword from her scroll to clash with his attacks. Yumichika then comes at her with a vertical slash but Tenten dodges his attacks. She then throws a smoke bomb at him and blinds Yumichika.
"What the hell is this ?I can't see, my beautiful eyes!" Yumichika shouted trying to rub his eyes as Tenten throws 10 shuriken and 5 kunai but Yumichika counters by dodging them with Shunpo. He then sees her use a chain on him and hooks onto his arm and throws him 120 feet westward into a tree.
"Take this!" Tenten shouted as she throws 200 shuriken at Yumichika forcing him to use Shunpo and dodge the blades as they all hit the tree . Yumichika then comes at her with his Zanpakuto slash to her face but she blocks his attack with her Chain Wind Staff.
"Damn, how much weapons does this girl have? She used swords, then kunai , then shaken and now a staff." Yumichika stated to himself.
"What's wrong, you think that one weapons can contend against my hundreds of blades." Tenten mocked him.
"I see so you have a ton of weaponry, no matter i'll just have to end this fast then. Bloom Fuji Kujaku (藤孔雀, Wisteria Peacock)" Yumichika chanted as he transforms his blade by running his hand along the length of the blade as it glows a white light and transforms. It takes the form of a sickle-shaped blade , or falx, distinguished from the khopesh by the cutting edge being located on the inside. A hinge at the hilt allows it to split into four identical blades.
"What ? His weapon transformed? " Tenten said to herself with shock but before she can react , Yumichika uses Shunpo to appear behind her and she has a deep cut on her chest and she bleeds out badly.
"What was that? Did you get slower ?" Yumichika asked as he stands behind Tenten with blood on his Shikai .
"What happened?" Tenten said to herself as she falls onto the ground.
"You see , you might have alot of weapons but no human weapon can compare to our Zanpakutō." Yumichika said to the Chūnin-level kunoichi .
"Zanpakutō?" Tenten asked holding on to her chest while standing back up.
"A Zanpakutō (斬魄刀 Soul-Cutter Sword) is the main weapon of the Shinigami. We all carry a Zanpakutō, and each Zanpakutō is unique as the swords are both reflections of a Shinigami's soul and power. No matter how powerful you are or how many weapons you have, it pales in comparison to a Zanpakutō." Yumichika explained to Tenten .
"How did you become so fast?" Tenten asked.
"You see a Zanpakutō unlike your Ninja tools which is limited in power, our Zanpakutō can increase ones power drastically between 5 to 10 times as well as gain special powers as well once we go into Shikai (始解, Initial Release)" Yumichika explained to Tenten .
600 meters west from the border
Rock Lee and Ikkaku continue their fight . they collide attacks with each other , Ikkaku exchange punches and kicks with Lee as well as his slashes with Lee's powerful Taijutsu. Lee does a dashing punch that levels a 50 foot rock formation but the bald-headed 3rd seat leaps in the air and switches the sheathe that was in his right hand to his left hand.
"He switched his scabbard to his left?" Lee said to himself in shock as Ikkaku shouts out his attack.
"Mōda # 5 Katatehanma (片手ハンマ Single Handed Hammer)" Ikkaku chanted as he hits down Lee generating immense force into the slash.
Lee's face is cut from the attack with a gash going from his forehead to his left cheek, covering his right eye with blood and concaving the ground 2 feet deep. Ikkaku then taunts Lee into switching around his sword and scabbard .
"He got me good!" Lee said to himself.
"Damn , i missed? I was trying to chop off your head." Ikkaku asked Lee.
"What a guy, he used simple attacks to make it appear he was using a predictable pattern but he was really trying to catch me off guard." Lee said to himself.
"Come on, let's get serious!" Ikkaku stated.
"Very well it's time i open the First Gate." Lee replied as he unrolls his bandage and then uses the first gate.
"First Gate?" Ikkaku asked as he sees Lee get serious .
"First Gate : Gate of Opening (開門, Kaimon)" Lee chanted as he removes the bandages and runs around Ikkaku. The bald-headed 3rd seat is then surrounded by Lee moving at 1126.4 ft/sec (768 MPH) in a circle.
"Crap the kid is moving at the speed of sound, how can a human be this fast?" Ikkaku stated to himself when he's suddenly kicked in the face and then kicked 5 times again until he is over 300 feet high then Lee wraps his bandages around Ikkaku and then spins around at supersonic speeds.
"Primary Lotus (表蓮華Omote Renge)" Lee chanted as he's about to drill the bald-headed 3rd seat into the ground.
"Grow Hōzukimaru (鬼灯丸, Demon Light)" Ikkaku shouted last second before Lee piledrives him into the ground head first while rotating at a ferocious speed creating a 20 foot crater in the ground . Lee gets back up and sees Ikkaku down on the ground.
"I did it i won!" Lee said to himself only to get hit by Ikkaku's Shikai . Ikkaku's Zanpakutō transformed into a naginata(spear) with a wax wood shaft. The pommel also has a red horsehair tassel.
"How did you survive my Primary Lotus?" Lee asked with shock.
"Simple my man, once i released my Shikai, it canceled out your attacks effects." Ikkaku answered with blood coming out of his head.
"Shikai?" Lee asked .
"My speed and power is now 5 times greater than yours." Ikkaku replied as he uses Shunpo to move at 1833.3 ft/sec (1,250 MPH) to appear behind Lee and attack him cutting his check.
"His speed has gotten much faster!" Lee said to himself as he dodges a lunging strike aimed as his face by only a few inches and barely evades a thrusting strike.
"Don't misjudge my attacks!" Ikkaku stated.
"I'm aware of your long-range spear attacks." Lee replied as he goes to attack.
"That's not it!" Ikkaku shouted as he goes to hold his weapon up high.
"Now's my chance!" Lee said to himself as he dodges a vertical lunging strike.
"He thinks dodging alone is going to help him." Ikkaku said to himself.
"Dynamic Entry (ダイナミック・エントリーDainamikku Entorii)" Rock Lee chanted as he uses dynamic entry to attack Ikkaku but the 3rd seat extends his Shikai.
"Split Hōzukimaru." Ikkaku chanted as he separates his naginata into 3 sectioned pole and hits Lee with a flail like attack. Ikkaku nearly hits Lee's head with his Shikai but the Bushy Brow Chūnin blocks with his right foot.
"ARRGH!" Lee shouted in pain as he holds his right foot .
"I thought i warned you not to misread my Shikai . It's not a spear but a 3 pong pole. It hurts doesn't it ? You probably can't kick with that leg of yours after an attack like that." Ikkaku explained to Lee as Lee tries to stand up.
"I can still fight!" Lee replied as he kicks a large 20 foot rock smashing it to pieces producing the force of 3.44 tons of TNT.
"He can still fight even with his broken!" Ikkaku said to himself shocked to see Rock Lee kick with his wounded hand and smash through a giant rock with it ease.
"Second Gate : Gate of Healing (休門, Kyūmon) " Lee chanted as he increases his physical strength and temporarily re-energizes his body. His body is surrounded by an orange-yellow aura .
"So his spiritual power has increased? It's best i increase my own power." Ikkaku said to himself as he glows with red Reiatsu and then dashes to attack Lee . Ikkaku still hits Rock Lee with his attack but Lee goes for his counter.
"Leaf Whirlwind." Rock Lee chanted as he goes to kick Ikkaku but it's blocked by Ikkaku's Shikai . Lee lands a left kick on his right arm and breaks the bald-headed Shinigami's right arm.
"Damn, that attack broke my arm in five different places." Ikkaku said to himself as he retracts his pole and narrowly hits Lee with the but of the spear.
"Severe Leaf Hurricane( 木ノ葉大旋風Konoha Daisenpū )" Lee chanted as he uses a powerful kick to chop down a small 20 foot rock Ikkaku is standing on to bring Ikkaku down .
Ikkaku regains balance and hits Rock Lee down with another lunge of his Shikai , the force of the blow pushes Lee back 300 feet southward into a 200 foot rock formation . Ikkaku spins around his Shikai as he aims an attack at him and hits Lee's right leg. Rock Lee is barely able to get up from his injures.
"Hey, what's wrong what happened to all that fight you had? Hōzukimaru can transform at will, what a disappointment you turned out to be." Ikkaku arrogantly taunted.
"Damn it , the strain of my Inner Gates is weakening my body." Lee said to himself.
Meanwhile 600 meters north from the border
Neji senses everyone in trouble.
"Tenten is in trouble and so is Lee , how powerful are these Shinigami?" Neji asked himself.
"Go Kenny chan! Come on Yumi and right on Baldly." Yachiru shouted.
"I got to aid my teammates, i can't sit here any longer." Neji shouted as he goes to aid them but Yachiru appears to him with a sword drawn out using Shunpo to move at 1833.3 ft/sec (1,250 MPH).
"Don't interfere with Kenny's fights or my friends, wait your turn meanie." Yachiru stated as she holds her then releases an immense amounts of spiritual energy in the form of a large, pink, angry cat face.
"This girl is releasing twice as much Chakra as Tenten and Lee's opponents combined and she hasn't even released her Zanpakutō yet. In fact Gai's opponent hasn't even released his Zanpakutō yet,we have enough problems with the big guy, the last thing i need is another Jōunin level opponent, might as well just play along with her for now." Neji said to himself .
"Sit back down!" Yachiru stated ,
"Fine ,I'll just sit back!" Neji replied to her as he watches helplessly as his opponents overwhelm his team.
600 meters east from the border
Yumichika easily manages to overpower Tenten with each strike. Tenten defends herself with a spike ball but Yumichika easily rips through then comes at her with a slash but she barely dodges the strike.
"Looks like you haven't learned your lesson, i told you your tricks won't work on me . I suppose i should compliment you that you've done well, for an ugly person." Yumichika stated arrogantly .
"Shut the hell up!" Tenten shouted as she throws 4 kunai but Yumichika cuts them with ease and performs a jump slash that destroys 3 trees.
"Hahahaha! You're attacks are useless!" Yumichika laughed .
"These guys are getting even stronger!" Tenten said to herself while she's holding on to her badly cut chest. She then summons a sword to come at Yumichika and cuts his chest but her hands get damaged and the blade breaks on him.
"Pathetic, you really are weak human. You think you can compete with us ? When two spiritual beings collide, the side with weaker spiritual pressure will get hurt . All of your weapons have no real spiritual power behind them, that's why you can't cut me anymore." Yumichika explained to Tenten as he slashes at her but Tenten dodges the attack.
"You're one annoying piece of shit you know that!" Tenten replied as she jumps in the air and opens up her scroll and unleashes a barrage of kunai but Yumichika dodges it using Shunpo at 1833.3 ft/sec (1,250 MPH) then appears behind Tenten and cuts her back with a vertical slash.
"It's a law of nature that the ugly shall envy the beautiful , now you will die!" Yumichika said to the brunette Kunoichi as he goes for the killing blow but he misses then Tenten hits him in the left arm with her Bo.
"AGGH, how did you injure me?" Yumichika asked as his arm is badly broken in three places.
"Did you really think i was going at full power? I wasn't expecting such a massive power increase, you should have killed me while you were busy taunting me." Tenten answered as her body glows with a light pink aura . Then Tenten then comes at Yumichika with a series of vertical strikes, forcing Yumichika into the defensive . She performs double side swipes and a lunge towards him.
"Her speed and power increased but that's impossible, how could a mere human's weapons even equal a Zanpakutō?" Yumichika said to himself blocking her attacks.
"It's not how powerful your weapon is, its how skilled you are with the weapon that counts." Tenten answered as she throws her Bo which then gains a retractable blade turning the Bo into a spear. Yumichika dodges the spear only to see it's attached to wire strings and she pulls it to hit Yumichika from behind.
"Damn it, this human is skilled, she could move that weapon with such skill not even my Shikai is working." Yumichika stated as he tries to cut her but misses as Tenten uses Shunshin to move at 2,200 ft/sec (1,500 MPH) and hits him with the Bo and then summons another weapon.
"Take this!" Tenten shouted as she throws a Kusarigama at Yumichika but Yumichika uses his Shikai to block the attack . Yumichika then sees Tenten wield a 8 foot high 400 pound spike Kanabō to shatter Yumichika's Shikai with overwhelming force .
"Impossible, she shattered my Shikai!" Yumichika shouted as he is sent flying 1,000 feet eastward into the forest. Tenten uses Shunshin to get towards him covering the
"Looks like you have been defeated, give up. You're lucky to even be alive after a strike of that power, i put everything i got in that hit." Tenten said to Yumichika .
"I refuse to give up , if anything i must thank you for getting me this far, now i can unveil my true power without anyone knowing about it." Yumichika replied smiling.
"What are you talking about?" Tenten asked.
"Split and Deviate Ruri'iro Kujaku (瑠璃色孔雀, Azure Peacock)" Yumichika chanted as his Ruri'iro Kujaku's blades flare up and transform into a number of glowing peacock feather-like vines. The guard still takes the form of bronze cross and it also retains the purple vines move to grapple and ensnare Tenten .
"What the hell is this?" Tenten shouted shocked and horrified as she struggles to break out the vines.
"It's pointless to break out, behold my true power!" Yumichika replied as Tenten started to notice buds are coming out of it.
"Buds?They're growing!" Tenten asked shocked to see then growing .
"You're Reiatsu or what you Shinobi call Chakra is flowing into them." Yumichika answered .
"What?" Tenten stated.
"The flowers are using your Reiatsu as a form of power source, siphoning the Reiatsu you emit to fuel their growth. When the flowers bloom the collected Reiatsu is turned against the opponent, killing them in the process, Your time runs out when my flowers bloom Tenten." Yumichika explained to Tenten as the flowers start to grow.
"So you held back this attack, why?" Tenten questioned the purple haired Shinigmai .
"I'm a member of the Eleventh Division - the Gotei 13's specialized combat division. It's full of idiots obsessed with putting their lives on the line. Thanks to the style of our division, there's always been a kind of unwritten rule that all our Zanpakutō have to be direct-combat types. Just having a Kidō-type Zanpakutō is enough to get a guy labelled a coward. I don't want any of my fellows in the Eleventh Division to see this Zanpakutō's ability ,especially not Ikkaku or my Captain. That's why i had to thank you when you knocked me far way you had not done that , then no matter what happened in this battle, i would never have released my Zanpakutō. Even if i were to lose and die at your hands." Yumichika explained to the brunette Kunoichi.
"I only got seconds to act here, i need to think of way out." Tenten thinks to herself while the flowers are already half bloomed.
"Any last words?" Yumichika asked.
"That's it!" Tenten replied as she grabs a paper bomb and throws it at the vines and detonates it, then using her free right arm picks up the sword and cuts the other vines off. Tenten however is drained of most of her Chakra.
"Impossible, you broke out of my strongest attack . Just what are you?" Yumichika shouted as he stares at her with shock.
"I'm the weapons specialist of Team Gai, don't underestimate me!" Tenten replied.
"I guess we have no choice but to end this in one attack." Yumichika stated as his Zanpakutō revert back to it's original Shikai state and he is surrounded in a lime green Reiatsu.
"Very well then!" Tenten replied as she summons a ball and chain similar to Omaeda's Gegetsuburi while surrounding herself in a pink Chakra aura.
Tenten and Yumichika charge at each other with a final attack. They dash at full speed and go 300 feet across each other clashing in their final attack . Tenten falls to her knees with another slash across her chest with her buns gone and her hair to her face.
"Looks like i still win in the end ! Did you expect an ugly clumsy chain that breaks so easily to be useful in a high-speed clash ? Please what an ugly way to end a battle then again you are ugly and nothing compared to my beauty." Yumichika arrogantly gloated as he grabs the spike ball to see it's really a kunai bomb.
"Let's...see how beautiful you look ...in hell!" Tenten replied as the she goes behind a rock for cover.
"NOOOOOO... !" Yumichika shouted as he tries to run from the blast but it's too late.
The explosion destroys everything within a 50 foot radius while sending spike shrapnel as far as 625 feet away. All the trees within a 625 foot radius were destroyed by the explosive kunai spike shrapnel. Yumichika is severely wounded losing a left leg in the blast and suffering serious burns on his head. Tenten struggles to get back force of this explosive generates 1.56 Tons of explosive force ,leaving behind a 27 foot diameter ,7 foot deep crater .
"Damn.. i'm feeling dizzy.." Tenten shouted notices that the Shinigami is fading from her vision .
"Damn ... that ...bitch!" Yumichika shouted as he struggles to stand but collapses.
"Someone...Help...I'm dying!" Tenten shouted as she struggles to stay alive.
600 meters west from the border
Rock Lee senses a rapidly fading power .
"It's Tenten , her Chakra is rapidly fading. I must defeat this guy and save her." Rock Lee said to himself .
"Where's Yumichika? I can't sense his Reiatsu, you don't think that girl might have killed him?" Ikkaku stated to himself.
"I need to end this and save Tenten!" Lee said to himself as Lee comes at Ikkaku but the bald headed Shinigmai punches Lee 50 feet away.
"I have to end you already, this fight has dragged on long enough." Ikkaku stated.
"Agreed, it's time we end this!" Lee replied while he jumps on top of a 50 foot rock and removes the weights .
"Weights huh ? That's not going to make much of a difference in power." Ikkaku arrogantly gloated only to see Lee drop the weights creating a shockwave that leaves a 5 foot deep crater in the ground. Ikkaku is shocked by the face he can carry that much weights.
"Now i can move much easier!" Lee stated.
"How can that kid move in those weighs ? Those heavy compact weighs each weigh a ton." Ikkaku asked himself with a shocked look on his face.
Rock Lee then moves at 3,666.6 ft/sec (2,500 MPH) just running . Ikkaku barely blocks the first strike but Lee then appears him and delivers a roundhouse kick that Ikkaku barely escaped using Shunpo, then he is almost hit with a punch then Lee appears behind him and delivers a devastating punch knocking the bald headed 3rd seat 150 feet into a pile of rocks. Ikkaku swings his Shikai towards Lee but Lee moves so fast he catches Ikkaku's Shikai with his bare hand and removes it's feathers.
"Is this yours?" Lee asked Ikkaku holding on to his feathers.
"Impossible! He took Hōzukimaru with his bare hand." Ikkaku said to himself shocked at Lee's improved speed .
Rock Lee then throws a punch which Ikkaku barely blocked with his Shikai. Rock Lee moves so fast Ikkaku can barely block the second flying kick . Ikkaku almost lost his head to a knife edge chop, . Ikkaku blocks with his Shikai but his Shikai is broken by a powerful haymaker which hits him in the torso which causes blood to spill out his chest.
"This can't be, he broke Hōzukimaru!" Ikkaku said to himself as he coughs up blood.
"You lost, please don't try to fight back!" Lee said to Ikkaku as he sees Ikkaku preparing to fight again.
"I guess you think it's over huh but your dead wrong my friend, as long i can hold my sword, i can fight you." Ikkaku replied.
"If you try to fight again, you will die!" Lee stated
"No chance , i'm not done yet , listen up and follow me because i can't let anyone else see this technique." Ikkaku said to Lee.
"Why can't you show me this here?" Lee asked.
"Because this is something only a worthy opponent can see." Ikkaku answered as he dashes at 1833.3 ft/sec (1,250 MPH)
"Very well then!" Lee replied as he follows Ikkaku and they head to another location. After 30 seconds they arrive 10 miles from Kenpachi and Gai's battle position.
"Finally i can beat you with all my power!" Ikkaku shouted as he slams the two broken pieces of his Shikai back into the spear-form .
"What are you doing?" Lee asked.
"Bankai !" Ikkaku stated as his Shikai turns red his and body glows with red Reiatsu. A massive 200 foot energy tornado forms after the release of the Bankai with red lightning surging around the battlefield.
"What an intense amount of Chakra!." Lee said to himself as he struggles to stand from the wave of Reiatsu.
"Bankai: Ryūmon Hōzukimaru (龍紋鬼灯丸, Dragon Crest Demon Light) " Ikkaku chanted as his spear transforms into a Chinese Monk's spade and a standard Guan dao. Both have a traditional horsehair tassel at the hilt and a long cylindrical weight for a pommel. The pommels are connected by a heavy chain to the center section, which resembles an axe-like blade with a parallel handle forged into the blunt end and a dragon crest on one side of the blade.
"Bankai?" Lee said as Ikkaku glows with his Reiatsu overwhelming Lee.
"That is the second release of a Shinigami's Zanpakutō." Ikkaku answered .
"What an amazing level of Chakra you have!" Lee stated as he comes at Ikkaku but Ikkaku uses his Monk's spade to push Lee back 50 feet into a nearby Rock Lee blocked the attack but his arm got deeply cut in the process.
"As you can tell, It increases one's between 5 to 10 times the strongest Shinigami can use it. It is also the ultimate technique of a Zanpakutō . I'm the only 3rd seat Shinigami to have achieved Bankai , usually only Captains could use Bankai." Ikkaku explained to Lee.
"So you must be a very powerful foe like your leader?" Lee asked .
"So far only you and Yumichika, that I have Bankai. If it got out that I can use Bankai, there'd be others besides you telling me to become a Captain. I have no intention of becoming a Captain. Becoming a Captain would mean that I can't fight under Captain Zaraki. Therefore you must die so i can maintain this secret." Ikkaku explained to Lee as he swings his Bankai around and hits Lee through several rocks. Lee comes at Ikkaku and comes at him with his speed but Ikkaku manages to dodge it .
"He's strong!" Lee said to himself as he evades Ikkaku's second attack .
"Damn, this Bankai isn't suited for speed, it's still having trouble against his fast punches. However regardless of his speed, he can't beat me if his punches are too weak to do any real damage." Ikkaku stated to himself as he blocks his blows and he knocks away Lee . Ikkaku then sees Lee get back up.
"This guy is strong, however his speed isn't very fast!" Lee said to himself as he dodges Ikkaku's Guan Dao attack which destroys a 60 foot rock formation with the slash producing the force equivalent of 22 Tons of TNT. Ikkaku then hits him with the monk spade which knocks him to the ground with cuts on his face despite the blade only being 5 feet towards his face.
"His strength is so great that he cut me without even touching me." Lee said to himself as he struggles to get up. Ikkaku then goes uses a powerful strike.
"Mōda # 22 . Chikyū Pōku (地球ポークEarth Poke)" Ikkaku shouted as he hits the ground with a heavy blow that causes a Reiatsu shockwave that cuts the ground up sending razor-sharp Reiatsu rings towards blocks Rock Lee . Lee blocks the attack only for his hands to get cut and him to be blasted into a large rock 200 feet away.
"ARRRGH!" Lee shouted as Ikkaku swings his blades again and hits Lee through the rock collapsing the rock.
"The kid can barely move , i'm merely just playing with him." Ikkaku stated to himself as he hits Lee with his Bankai but Lee dodges it.
"I guess i have no choice but to reveal my ultimate Taijutsu." Lee said to Ikkaku as the air around him forms into a funnel.
"Quit bluffing , you're at your limit!" Ikkaku stated laughing at Bushy Brows but then he sees Lee charging up power.
"Then the next move would end everything ! 3rd Gate: Gate of Life (生門,Seimon) Open!" Rock Lee chanted as he releases an immense amount of Chakra from his body and his skin turn red, the surge of power turns from orange-yellow to typical blue Chakra.
"I see, so that's how it is. You are proving to be a tough opponent , now let me show you my true power." Ikkaku replied by spinning his Bankai around generating energy .
"What are you doing?" Lee asked.
"Unlike me, my Zanpakutō is actually very lazy in battle , i would need to wake him up." Ikkaku explained to as the dragon crest fills up to it's max.
"I see , so this is a battle of who's stronger huh? I accept your challenge!" Lee stated.
" Mezame Hōzukimaru (目覚め鬼灯丸 Awaken Demon Light ) " Ikkaku chanted as he dashes with all three blades glowing with red spiritual energy .
"Too slow!" Lee replied as he moves 7333.3 ft/sec (5,000 MPH).
Lee moved so fast that he uplifted the ground within a 70 foot radius producing a 69 foot diameter, 19 foot deep crater from the explosive force of 37 Tons of TNT in terms of destructive force. Ikkaku is kicked up with immense speed and force that it easily overpowers and destroys his Bankai and causes a shockwave , Ikkaku is launched into the air and his incomplete Bankai was shattered from the impact.
"He's too fast . His speed alone shattered my Bankai before it can complete it's attack." Ikkaku said to himself shocked to as he's now helplessly floating in mid-air.
"Time to put an end to this!" Lee said to Ikkaku as he appears in front of him and deliver a series of 20 punches to the torso and then hits him into the ground with an axe kick to the head . Lee then appears a second before he can fall down and performs his attack.
"I can't even follow his movements!" Ikkaku said to himself .
"Leaf Hot Wind (木ノ葉熱風 Konoha Neppū)" Lee chanted as he does a spinning upward corkscrew kick with his body on fire propelling Ikkaku up 500 feet and then launches Ikkaku down with a flaming axe kick and creating a 300 foot fiery shock wave that forms a 23 foot deep , 84 foot diameter producing the force of 67 Tons of TNT.
"ARRRUGHARGH!" Ikkaku shouted in intense pain as he loses consciousnesses from the attack with both his arms broken and his head bleeding from the severe blunt force.
"I did it Gai Sensei!" Lee said to himself as passes out from the use of his technique and the loss of blood from his legs and arms.
600 meters north from the border
"I can't sense Lee or Tenten , nor their opponents, i sensed massive clashes of Chakra before they disappear, one of them near the level of a Jōunin around Lee's direction." Neji said to himself.
"Where's Yun-Yun and Pachinko head?" Yachiru asked.
"Byakugan (白眼 All Seeing White Eye)" Neji chanted as he sees Lee and Tenten on the floor.
"Where are they?" Yachiru asked.
"You're friends are out cold, one of them are badly wounded." Neji answered .
"They must of exhausted themselves from battle, where are they?" Yachiru asked Neji.
"The bald one is 10 miles southwest of here and the gay one is 700 meters southeast of here." Neji replied.
"Let's pick them up so we can take them to get healed." Yachiru stated when suddenly another clash of Reiatsu occurs.
"Maybe it's a good idea we get away from here ." Neji replied.
Meanwhile at the Border
Kenpachi and Gai clash off, creating massive craters and explosions with the collision of power and energy being used at each strike. Gai swings his Nu-chunks like a rotor creating a whirlwind then lunges it at Kenpachi but Kenpachi catches it with his bare hand. Kenpachi aims his sword at Gai's chest but Gai dodges the attack and avoids a kick to the face from Kenpachi. Gai counters with his own kick but Kenpachi grabs his foot . Kenpachi blocks the second kick with his sword. Gai lunges his Nunchucks at Kenpachi but it only grazes his face and puts a smile on Kenpachi's face, Kenpachi slices towards Gai, creating a cut on Gai' chest . Gai counters by delivering a barrage of lunges with his Nunchucks. Kenpachi takes hit by hit and starts to bleed yet he is only more excited by the battle.
"I LOVE IT! How a human became this strong? Not since Ichigo have i fought such a strong human . This battle leaves so many unanswered questions but for the moment let's have fun with this fight." Kenpachi shouted as they continue to clash attacks.
Kenpachi and Gai continue their fight against each other, clashing their weapons against each other. Gai continues to land hits on Kenpachi but Kenpachi doesn't go down. Gai removes part of his bandages and goes for the first gate.
"Leaf Rock Destroying Rise (木ノ葉壊岩升Konoha Kaiganshō)" Gai chanted as he smashes his elbow into Kenpachi using the other arm as support knocking back Kenpachi 50 feet into a rock. Gai goes for the Louts but Kenpachi stops him with his counterattack.
"Usugiri(薄切り, Slicing Thin)# 5 Hāfumūn Kyōda(ハーフムーン強打Half Moon Swipe )" Kenpachi chanted as he uses a swift upward vertical slash in a 180 degree arc that cuts Gai's thigh and forcing him back . The slash easily cuts down a 100 foot rock formation.
"What is this guy, a Bjuu? How is it that he won't go down already? Just what is he ?" Gai said to himself as he dodges Kenpachi's slash and stops moving.
"What are you doing standing around ? Attack!" Kenpachi demanded.
"Let's stop this fighting, you're a mess!" Gai stated.
"Why stop fighting?" Kenpachi asked Gai.
"If we keep this up, one of us is going to end up dead." Gai stated .
"So!" Kenpachi replied.
"Aren't you afraid of dying ? " Gai asked Kenpachi.
"Afraid of dying, what kind of stupid question is that ? Warriors don't fear death " Kenpachi answered .
"I see, so you're a true warrior huh, here goes nothing . Second Gate : Gate of Healing(休門, Kyūmon)" Gai chanted as he increases his physical strength and temporarily re-energizes his body. His body is surrounded by an light green aura He then reforms his Nu chunks into a staff and hits Kenpachi into the air and then Gai leaps 300 feet high to attack Kenpachi then he hits down with such force that it destroys a 100 foot rock formation.
"Not a bad hit!" Kenpachi said to himself .
"This guy is too much but that should even the score." Gai said to himself as Kenpachi gets back up and is smiling that he got injured from Gai.
"That was a good attack, i like where this is going." Kenpachi said to Gai .
"How can he still be standing, more importantly, how can he still be confident?" Gai said to himself.
"It's been awhile since i had such an uplifting feeling...! Guess there is no holding back now is there." Kenpachi stated.
"What he had even more power all this time?" Gai said to himself as he prepared himself for battle.
"With you..." Kenpachi said to Gai as he grabs his eyepatch "I think i can fight at my full power!" Kenpachi replied as he removes his eyepatch to release unleashing a strong enough surge of energy, it becomes visible and yellow in color with the appearance of a spiritual pressure in creates a powerful shockwave that levels everything around Kenpachi.
"What an intense burst of Chakra, it's as he is a miniature Bjuu. When took off the eyepatch, his Chakra suddenly skyrocketed." Gai stated to himself shocked by the blinding amount of energy he is releasing causing rocks to shoot up in the sky and cause others from seemingly miles away to enter a state of paralysis.
10 miles west of the border
Neji and Yachiru arrive at the scene where Ikkaku and Lee are lying down on the is out cold and has cuts on his arms. suddenly they see a massive flash of light shoot up into the sky.
"Damn it, what is this Chakra? It's so huge that it feels like the area is engulfed in the sun." Neji asked.
"Kenny's really excited!" Yachiru replied.
"All that power is coming from your leader?" Neji asked with shock.
600 meters east from the border
Tenten manages to get back up after using a scroll to heal her then eats a Military Rations Pill after bandaging herself up with bandages she got from Tsunade.
"Good thing, i got some Hyōrōgan (兵糧丸 Military Rations Pill ) from Tsunade, along with the bandages i got. I now have most of my Chakra, still before i passed out, i didn't see the Shinigami guy, it was almost like he vanished from my site yet i still see him . What the hell, damn it's like the air is being weighed down . This Chakra feels like someone has a blade pressed against my throat . I can't hold out much longer !" Tenten thought to herself but before she can move around she is overwhelmed by a massive Reiatsu as she images a skeleton with a blade to her neck, she then falls to her knees and then she's knocked out cold from the wave
"It seems this Team Gai is tougher than i thought, the Captain is going all out however i can't escape ." Yumichika stated to himself as he struggles to get up with his missing left leg but he's weighed down by Kenpachi's Reiatsu.
Meanwhile at the Border
Kenpachi releases enough spiritual power to darken the skies while the area around Kenpachi is engulfed in an intense bright light.
"Tenten is fading, she can't stand this pressure much longer. This monstrous power, are these Shinigamis really human? Just taking off his eyepatch just made his power 5 times stronger." Gai said to himself.
"Yumichika is not doing too well, it's best i get some distance from him." Kenpachi stated to himself.
"I have to go all out on this guy!" Gai stated to himself as he's about to increase his power.
"Hey let's get some distance!" Kenpachi stated.
"Right!" Gai replied they dash 2 miles north from their current position and within 10 seconds land within a more rugged canyon area.
"Now that's better!" Kenpachi said to Gai.
"Just what is that technique of yours Kenpachi? We come this far into a fight and you still had an ace in the hole..What'd you go hidden in that right eye?" Gai asked Kenpachi .
"Technique, this is simply just restraining my true power , i wouldn't resort to such pansy ass cheap tricks." Kenpachi answered.
"Restrain?" Gai asked confused looking at Kenpachi.
"This is the Eyepatch Power Seal created by the Shinigami Research and Development Institute just for me that can seal the bulk of my Reiatsu so my opponents don't die so easily, now i'm coming at you at 100% power." Kenpachi explained to Gai as he uses one hand to cut a 100 foot high , 20 foot long and wide rock formation effortlessly with a single swing of his sword.
"What immense strength!" Gai said to himself .
"I'm going to use all this power to kill you, it's that simple." Kenpachi shouted as he comes at Gai moving at 22,000 ft/sec (15,000 MPH).
Kenpachi easily overpowers Gai in his second gate. Gai is hit down into the ground by Kenpachi, the strike knocks him with enough force to cause serve bleeding from blunt trauma alone on his arms.
"This guy is strong, he easily overpowered me with just strength alone." Gai stated to himself as Kenpachi goes for another attack on Gai.
Gai blocks with his Nunchucks but the blow from Kenpachi shatters the Nunchucks on impact and creates an explosion leveling everything within a 1,000 foot radius . The strike creates the energy equivalent of 121 Tons of TNT, the blast creates a 101 foot diameter, 27 foot deep crater vaporizing 2,690 meters ^3 of rock from the attack.
" Looks like he's still alive, good because i just got started." Kenpachi stated with his sword out.
"I guess i have no choice but to use the full extent of my power." Gai stated as his Chakra aura glows around his body and then air pressure condenses around him. "3rd Gate: Gate of Life (生門,Seimon)Open." Gai chanted as he releases an immense amount of Chakra from his body and his skin turn red, the surge of power turns from a green aura to typical blue Chakra. "Fourth Gate:Gate of Pain(傷門,Shōmon)" Gai chanted as his body starts to vibrate and move at supersonic speeds.
"What is this? Even now your spiritual pressure increases, excellent." Kenpachi stated with joy looking at Gai increasing his power.
"Fifth gate: Gate of Limit (杜門, Tomon)" Gai shouted as his body starts to ground beneath Kenpachi shakes and breaks the ground causing rocks to shoot up as a jet of Green Chakra shoots up.
"What the?" Kenpachi asked as he sees a massive amount of Chakra around Gai.
"Sixth gate:Gate of View (景門, Keimon)" Gai chanted as he unleashes an immense surge in power. Gai has created a massive 2,000 foot tornado around the area and sucks up anything nearby him, nearby rocks and plateaus are demolished and sucked into the vortex.
"Excellent Reiatsu!" Kenpachi shouted as he goes to attack him.
"Let's see your blade trying to catch me now.." Gai said to Kenpachi as he dashes towards him.
"Bring it on!" Kenpachi replied as he swings his sword at Gai but Gai dodges the attack.
Gai uses Shunshin to move at 34.72 miles/sec (125,000 MPH) and kicks him with his high-speed flaming kick. Gai moves so fast that Kenpachi can't even keep up as Gai creates shockwaves and sonic booms just dashing. Kenpachi goes for a lunging strike but Gai dodges and hits him in the face with a kick and then knocks him down with kick through a 2,000 foot high plateau. The force of the kick generates 290 Tons of TNT and leaves a 129 diameter, 35 foot deep hole in the plateau.
"Asa Kujaku (朝孔雀Morning Peacock)" Gai chanted as he kicks Kenpachi further into the plateau with a flaming kick smashing Kenpachi 56 feet further into the plateau.
"What a hell of a punch!" Kenpachi said to himself as he's punched in the face and then in the torso and then hit 5 times by a series of faster punches.
The speed of the punches are so fast that they are set ablaze by sheer speed and friction. Gai throws over 200 punches per second and each punch smashes Kenpachi through the small mountain sized plateau. This series of flaming punches creates a peacock-like fan of flaming Chakra around Gai as he punches Kenpachi for 30 seconds , hitting Kenpachi with 6,000 punches and with the final smashes Kenpachi 68 feet through the plateau causing flames to shoot out the hole as if it was a volcano ,causing the hole to become 250 feet wide . The attack produces the energy of 2.9 Kilotons of TNT and causes the plateau to become engulfed with smoke and flames
"Looks like the battle is over . It's been ages since i was pushed like this , i must thank him for giving me one hell of a battle." Gai said to himself.
But then Gai sees massive surge of Reiatsu as Kenpachi busts out of the plateau covered with flames producing a 3 foot diameter, 500 foot deep hole from his attack which shoots flames out of the plateau , producing the force of 55.8 Tons of TNT busting out the plateau with his jump. The flames shoot up 1,478 feet high from the hole. Kenpachi then grabs the ground and lifts up a 75 meter diameter rock formation on top of the plateau weighing 663,000 tons and hurls it at Gai with all his strength with the plateau moving at 512 ft/sec ( 349 MPH ) with Kenpachi notably exhausted by his massive feat. Gai uses all his strength to catch it.
"I have no choice but to use this!" Kenpachi said to himself as he grips the sword with both hands and swings down his blade. The slash cuts Gai across the chest and cuts the formation in half. Gai is injured badly form the attack as well as Kenpachi from the punches. The slash generates 960 Tons of explosive force.
"Not bad, those punches seriously hurt . Had not for releasing enough Reiatsu to shield most of them, i would of died . I'll admit you definitely got the speed advantage but my defense is better than yours. You're Eight Gates techniques definitely give you an explosive increase in power but it does extreme damage to your body so you can't hold it for too long ." Kenpachi explained to Gai after figuring out his technique . Kenpachi is covered with blood and is struggling to breathe.
"I see so not only did you survived my certain-kill taijutsu but you even figured out the Eight Gates weakness, you are a real combat genius but you don't need to be a genius to figure out you're at your limit too. Still how were you able to lift that rock and how is it that your attack power doubled?" Gai asked Kenpachi.
"Back when i joined the Gotei 13 Squads , old man Yamamoto forced me to take some Kendo lessons. I learned that a sword becomes twice as powerful when swung with two hands." Kenpachi explained to Gai.
"I see, you're power was only half as strong before?" Gai asked himed.
"Half as strong?You idiots don't know the half of it. Let's finish this in one attack." Kenpachi stated as he increases his Reiatsu to create a massive wave of Golden Yellow electrical Reiatsu around him obliterating everything around him and a skull shaped Reiatsu.
"Very well then!" Gai replied by charging up to release an intense burst of air pressure around his flaming green Chakra aura.
"Shooting Star Punch (星のパンチを撮影Hoshi no panchiosatsuei)" Gai chanted as he charges up his fist and the energy around his fist condenses to green star in his left arm and dashes towards Kenpachi.
"Time to end this ! Kendō: Ryōdan (剣道:両断, Way of The Sword :Bisection)" Kenpachi chanted as he swings his sword horizontally with two hands then swings downward with a vertical strike.
The collision releases a massive shock wave that destroys everything within a half a mile radius. All the rocks around them shatter and shoot up to the sky.
Meanwhile 600 meters east from the border
Neji and Yachiru arrive at the area to see Tenten and Yumichika wounded form their battle and everything around them destroyed.
"Yuni Yuni, are you alright?" Yachiru asked the fallen 5th seat .
"I'm ...fine, i just need a bit of medical attention." Yumichika answered as he's holding Ikkaku with her and Neji is carrying Tenten . Yachiru leaves carrying Yumichika and Ikkaku on her back.
"Where are we going?" Yumichika stated.
"We're going to see Re-Chan, you're a mess as well as baldy and Kenny is probably hurt too." Yachiru stated.
Then they see a shockwave of wind occur from the area over a mile away.
"What an intense burst of Chakra, that must be Gai's Sixth Gate." Neji stated as he blocks himself from the massive wind burst.
Neji grabs Tenten and holds her while having lee on his shoulder as the blast wave arrives and blows down all the remaining trees. Neji then stares at the sky where a 16,000 ft high mushroom cloud appears above the battlefield. Tenten wakes up as a dust cloud blows by and covers everything within a 5 mile radius in sand.
"What's going on Neji?" Tenten asked frightened from the size of the explosion.
"Gai's in trouble, we're heading out. Can you still walk?" Neji asked her.
"Yeah i can!" Tenten replied.
"You're injures are bandaged up . Where did you get the first aid?" Neji asked.
"I always take some medical supplies from Tsunade just in case we get into any trouble and with the Hyōrōgan, we don't have to worry about Chakra exhaustion." Tenten explained to Neji .
"Lee's pretty banged up, we must take him to Sunakagure as soon as we find Kakashi and get Gai treated as well." Neji replied as he heads to the area.
Back at Ground Zero
Kenpachi and Gai finish their collision as they are now within a 83 ft deep, 304 ft diameter crater . Everything within a mile around the crater has been blown away and everything 5 miles around the crater is buried in a foot of sand . Gai 's fist impaled through the chest by Gai's punch with a star-shaped hole on his back where the fist is sticking Kenpachi has stabbed Gai through the heart . The attack generated the combined force of 5.8 Kilotons of TNT, over 1/3 the power of the atomic bombs that leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki .
"Sorry Team guy ..." Gai said to the group as Kenpachi removes his sword and he collapses to the stands for a while but he bleeds out and gives in.
"Sorry team Gai my ass...You dumbass you won!" Kenpachi replied as his Zanpakutō breaks into fragments and he falls to the ground.
Neji and Tenten arrive to see Kenpachi and Gai in a crater .
"What a monstrous amount of power ,they did that?" Tenten asked shocked to see the massive crater.
"Both of them are in critical condition. Both there Chakra's were so evenly matched that it canceled each other out." Neji answered.
"Gai!" Tenten shouted as she rushes towards him while Yachiru appears using Shunpo to see what happened to Kenpachi.
"She's still standing?" Tenten asked with shock.
"I didn't fight her, i have no need to attack a little girl who has no intention of fighting." Neji answered .
"Thank you to your team . Kenny and his friends had a fun 's been a long time since i've seen Ken-Chan having that much fun. Honestly thank you guys. Hey guys hopefully we can play like this again,'kay?" Yachiru stated as she carries Kenpachi, Yumichika and Ikkaku Yachiru stated as she easily leaps the 330 feet deep crater out to the Soul Society.
"What the hell is that little girl? How can she easily lift 3 grown men like that?" Tenten questioned Neji .
"Fortunately for us she wasn't hostile otherwise none of our squad would of made it without injury, her Chakra level was that of a Jōunin." Neji stated .
"What?" Tenten asked with shock.
"Those guys we're different from Human. Their bodies resembled that of Humans but in reality they're not human but spirits." Neji stated.
"Not human ? You're crazy Neji, spirits can't bleed or do what they do and they psychology no different than a Human." Tenten stated with shock .
"It may appear that way to a normal Shinobi but my Byakugan has the ability to see Chakra, Chakra flow as well as the Chakra circulatory system inside the body with great detail. There bodies and system are only made from the Yin half of Chakra, in short they are almost like Bjuu in the fact they are living masses of Chakra." Neji explained to Tenten .
"Man so all this time , we have been fighting ghosts? What the hell?" Tenten asked Neji.
"My question is whether these living masses of Chakra are responsible for the incident of Gaara's kidnapping." Neji answered .
Suddenly Pakkun arrives at the area to see devastation and is shocked to see Gai on the floor.
"Where have you guys been, and what the hell happened here?" Pakkun asked Neji and Tenten.
"My team fought powerful enemies that were on the level of Special Jōunin and Jōunins just now and the thing is the people we fought aren't humans." Neji stated.
Then a large black bulldog appears in the crater.
"Bull take these two to Sunagakure , Gai is in critical condition." Pakkun stated talking to the big black bulldog.
"Okay." Bull replied as he carries Gai and Lee on his back to Sunakagure and dash . Neji finishes writing a letter.
"Pakkun tell Kakashi about what happened here and tell him to meet us here and give him this device." Neji replied giving him a letter and a Denreishinki.
"What is this thing?" Tenten asked..
"I wasn't just sitting around, i was able to recover that from one of the fallen enemies within the battlefield, the one you fought Tenten." Neji answered.
"Well this should prove useful." Pakkun stated.
"We'll go with you , take us to Kakashi." Neji said as he goes with Pakkun and Tenten leaves the massive crater and head out to the woods.
"Is Gai going to be alright?" Tenten asked Neji.
"Don't worry, he has around 3 hours to live , those are Kakashi's hounds, Gai would arrive safely there in less than an hour." Neji replied.
"What time is it?" Tenten asked.
"It's 11:30 A.M ,are your wounds alright?" Neji asked Tenten.
"It's hurts like hell, had not for the food pill i would still be unable to move." Tenten replied holding on to her stomach then she staggers and falls down onto the ground. Neji goes to pick her up.
"I'm sorry i couldn't do anything in battle. I should of took him, would of easily ripped his head off in one strike." Neji stated.
"Don't blame yourself, you were busy gathering Intel on our enemy besides i probably might of been dead had not for that save from you." Tenten replied.
"Yeah had i fought alongside Gai , would've probably be badly injured or even worse dead. That Captain was even stronger than me, a Jōunin." he said grimly.
"I wonder how Kakashi's team have improved?" Tenten asked.
"If all the Captains as strong as the one Gai fought, we're in trouble . The guy hasn't even used his Bankai and yet was able to force Gai into his 6th gate, the only Jōunin strong enough to do that was Kakashi. If that Shinigmai used just his Shikai, he could've beaten Gai in one hit ." Neji explained to Tenten.
"We would all be in trouble if 12 more of these guys exist." Tenten replied.
10 miles north of the former hideout
Kakashi is fighting off Izuru and is dodging their attacks with little effort.
"You guys aren't getting anywhere with those weak attacks." Kakashi said to them.
"Damn, he's been dodging every attack we had thrown at him." Rangiku stated.
"He's stalling for time , still he's toying with us." Izuru replied.
"You're rather unusual humans, you seem more like a ghost than anything else, who created you guys?" Kakashi asked.
"Created us? What do you mean by that?" Rangiku asked.
"You guys are obviously not humans!" Kakashi answered.
"So you figured out we are Shinigamis huh? Most spiritually aware humans have a hard time telling the difference between spirit and human." Rangiku explained to Kakashi.
"Spiritually aware? What are you talking about?" Kakashi asked.
"Humans like you that can control and use Chakra could see us , normal humans who can't use Chakra can't see us." Rangiku answered.
"So that explains why villagers only saw cloaks of you guys attacking the you're the guys who attacked Sunakagure and kidnapped the Kazekage?" Kakashi asked.
"That's right, we came to put an end to the Bjuu and your weaponization of Bjuu." Rangiku replied.
"Tell us where the Kyuubi is at!" Izuru demanded.
"Over my dead body!" Kakashi replied.
"Then we will have to take it from you by force." Rangiku responded as Izuru appears behind him and uses Kidō.
"Hadō 34 # .Kongōbaku (金剛漠爆,Adamantine Blast)" Izuru chanted as he fires a large fire blast at Kakashi but Kakashi walks out of the blast unfazed.
"Is that all? " Kakashi asked barely scratched from the blast.
"Impossible, the attack had no effect." Izuru shouted shocked to see Kakashi unfazed.
"Enough playing around!" Kakashi stated as he comes at them with his kunai.
"Raise Your Head Wabisuke (侘助 The Wretched One) " Izuru stated as his blade makes two 90 degree angles, forming three sides of a square reminiscent of a hook. He clashes with Kakashi's kunai 8 times then activates it's power. Kakashi 's blade is weighed down and he drops to the ground.
"What happened? My kunai feels heavier." Kakashi asked trying to pick up his kunai.
"Wabisuke doubles the weight of any object it strikes. i hit your blade eight times, you can't use it." Izuru explained with the hook on Kakashi's neck.
"We got him now Izuru!" Rangiku cheerfully stated.
"Now talk!" Izuru shouted.
"I see ! Not a bad technique however ..." Kakashi stated as he picks up the heavy kunai with ease and appears behind Izuru "64 times heavier isn't enough. " Kakashi replied as he is about to stab Izuru.
"Growl Haineko (灰猫, Ash Cat ) " Rangiku chanted as she uses her Zanpakutō to cut Kakashi in half.
"Not bad but your no match against a Vice Captains Zanpakutō." Rangiku stated as she stares at the corpse. But it turns out to be a Water Clone .
"Don't Move!" Kakashi said to Rangiku as he comes from behind and points a kunai knife from behind her.
"Rangiku close your eyes! Bakudō # 23. Taiyōken (太陽拳Solar Fist)" Izuru chanted as he blinds Kakashi with a bright flash of light. Rangiku the goes to attack Kakashi off guard.
"Damn it, i can't see!" Kakashi shouted as he rubs his eyes.
"Haineko Tatsuma..." Rangiku chanted but before she can is bitten by a pack of Ninja Dogs attack her. One of the dogs bites her right bites her left arm, Bisuke bites her left breast, Urushi bites her left leg, Ūhei bites her right leg and Akino bites her top of her head.
"How can you be so strong?" Rangiku shouted.
"It's simple, i'm merely toying with you. Do you think you're petty attacks could kill a Jōunin?" Kakashi asked Rangiku and Izuru.
"Jōunin!" Izuru shouted with shock .
"Crap, no wonder we couldn't beat him, he's too strong for us." Rangiku stated to herself in fear.
"You're both strong for Special Jōunin level opponents but you picked the worst opponent to fight Lieutenant Matsumoto." Kakashi stated .
"How do you know my name?" Rangiku asked him shocked to hear the news.
"It's simple, Kankurō told me everything , now you going to tell me where you are keeping Gaara?" Kakashi asked Rangiku.
"I'll never talk you bastard!" Rangiku replied.
"Rangiku!" Izuru shouted as he swings his Shikai to hit barely cuts into Kakashi's shoulder but his Shikai is stuck in Kakashi's flak jacket.
"You call that a slash?" Kakashi asked Izuru.
"I can't pull it out.." Izuru stated as he tries to remove his blade from Kakashi's flak jacket but the silver-haired Jōunin grabs the sword barehanded and kicks Izuru 50 feet way into a tree, knocking the tree down on top of Izuru .
"I guess i would have to take the information out of you by force." Kakashi replied as he goes to kill Rangiku with his kunai but is stopped by Hitsugaya who uses his Zanpakutō to block the attack. The dogs let go of Rangiku and go to attack Hitsugaya but Hitsugaya uses his spiritual pressure to blow them away.
"What the? " Kakashi asked.
"So i finally found you guys, you need to seriously be more careful and asset the guys power better." Hitsugaya stated to them .
"So it's you, you're the Captain Hitsugaya. The kid who Kidnapped Gaara of the Sands " Kakashi asked.
"So you must be the Jōunin i heard about, one of Konoha's strongest fighters, figures that you're the one guarding the Jinchūriki Kakashi Hatake." Hitsugaya replied.
"What do you want with the Jinchūriki?" Kakashi asked Hitsugaya.
"You mean those beast of destruction that you and your Kages created, i'm aware of what your planning and we are here to stop in and put an end to this corrupt world of yours." Hitsugaya explained to Hitsugaya.
"I take it you're an equal to a Jōunin, aren't you a little young ?" Kakashi asked.
"For your information, i'm 130 years old, more than 4 times your age human." Hitsugaya answered.
"How is that possible?" Kakashi asked.
"You see us Shinigami age ten times slower than humans but live ten times the age of a human." Hitsugaya explained to the silver-haired Shinobi
"You must be very young to be a Captain, when you became a Captain?" Kakashi asked Hitsugaya.
"That's none of your concern, you're going to tell me where is the Jinchūriki or i will pry that information from you with force." Hitsugaya shouted in a threatening tone.
"That's my line kid, now tell me where Gaara is at?" Kakashi replied with his question.
"Like i'll ever tell you!" Hitsugaya stated .
"Don't go around screwing with adults you little prick." Kakashi replied.
"I'm not a kid, i'm older than you, know your place human." Hitsugaya responded.
"Fine, let's see what you got Shinigmai!" Kakashi replied.
"Rangiku Izuru, get out of here . Find the Jinchūriki Naruto Uzumaki, head to where his location is on the Denreishinki." Hitsugaya commanded .
"Got it Captain!" Rangiku replied.
"Crystal!" Izuru replied.
"Oh no you don't!" Kakashi shouted as he tries attacking Rangiku but Hitsugaya gets in his way and uses a running dash to knock the blade out of Kakashi's hand.
"Not bad kid!" Kakashi stated.
"Your opponent is me, you will die for trying to kill my Lieutenant." Hitsugaya replied raising his spiritual power.
Meanwhile at the Land of Rivers caverns 20 miles south of the former Akatsuki hideout.
Rukia is in a cave after being washed up by the current.
"Damn, that was a close one but my GPS is still jammed as if something is jamming it." Rukia said to herself as she walks around the is then encountered by Sakura.
"You're one of the Shinigami aren't you and that sash, you must be the one who aided in Gaara's capture." Sakura stated as she pulls out her kunai knife.
"No but you see to know about the Bjuu." Rukia said to the Kunoichi.
"You're not going to take Naruto from us or anymore Bjuus." Sakura replied.
"You seem to know the Bjuu were after?" Rukia asked her.
"He's my friend and i'm not going to let you take him from." Sakura stated as she points her kunai at Rukia.
"If you don't wish to tell me where the Bjuu is, then i will have to take it from you by force." Rukia replied as she draws out her Zanpakutō.
100 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout
Naruto and Byakuya clash attacks with each other.
"You will tell me where you're hiding Gaara." Naruto stated as he clashes his kunai against Byakuya's sealed sword.
"I will not, you will come with me one way or another Naruto." Byakuya replied as he comes at him with his sealed clashes attack with Naruto's kunai attacks and then backs away .
"TELL ME WHERE YOU'RE HIDING GAARA!" Naruto shouted.
"I see you mastered a technique similar to flash step, what is it called?" Byakuya asked Naruto.
"I have no time to answer your stupid questions, answer my question where's Gaara? Tell me or i'll crush you!" Naruto shouted.
"Don't get cocky! It's a thousand years too early for you to talk like we're equals, i toyed with you long enough." Byakuya stated.
"You're the one acting high and mighty all the sudden." Naruto replied.
"A mere Genin like you doesn't understand true reading your attacks you're sloppy and lack any real skill." Byakuya said to Naruto in an arrogant stoic tone.
"Geez this guy is more full of himself than Neji." Naruto thought to himself.
"Shall i tell you the difference between you and i ? It's like the story of the monkey trying to capture the moon. No matter how he struggles, it's just the moon's reflection on the water he sees. So he only sinks into the water. Time after time, he sinks. How about you do me a favor and quit while you're ahead and come quietly ?" Byakuya explained to Naruto in a condescending yet stoic tone.
"Never,don't underestimate me ! I don't quit and i don't run ! You can act though all you want! You're not gonna scare me off ! No way ! You should give up...on me giving up!" Naruto replied.
"Last thing i can stand is someone who talks big yet can't back it you get too full of yourself ,let me show you the difference between us. The gap in power you can never hope to even if you had a 1,000 years of training ! Scatter Senbonzakura (千本桜, Thousand Cherry Blossoms ) " Byakuya chanted as his blade separates into a thousand slender, tiny blade fragments, which then fly away from the hilt, leaving only the sword's handle in Byakuya's hand.
To be continued…
Omake 7 :Konoha Squad brochure.
Shizune is on the set with a slideshow about the Squads within the Leaf Village's Shinboi defense force.
"I'm Shizune, it's time for the Konoha Squad segment is to explain the Squads within the Hidden leaf we'll be discussing Team Gai." Shizune said to the audience she shows a picture of Team Gai.
"Team Gai is a team led by Might Guy and was formed a year before the other main Konoha teams of the series. They specialize in close-quarters combat with all of its members using some sort of physical attacks." Shizune explained to the audience as she shows a picture of Pre Timeskip Team Gai.
"The Leader is Might Gai, one of Konoha's most powerful ninja, and a Master of the Taijutsu style of the Gōken (剛拳Strong Fist)" She shows a clip of Gai punching a Sound Ninja through a wall.
"The Co leader by rank is Neji Hyūga , a Jōunin-level Shinobi of Konohagakure's Hyūga clan and master of the Jūken(柔拳Gentle Fist) which inflicts internal damage through attacking the body's Chakra Pathway System rather than external bone crushing damage that the Gōken is made possible due to the Hyūga clans Byakugan, a dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai which grants him x-ray vision, near 360-degree vision, and the ability to see Chakra networks." Shizune explained to the audience as she shows a clip of Neji using Byakugan.
"Then there's Rock Lee, a Chūnin-level shinobi of Konohagakure who's the most enthusiastic of all members of Team Gai who shares a father son bond with Gai. Like Gai, Lee has no talent for Ninjutsu or Genjutsu but is a natural genius in Taijutsu and is said to one day surpass even Might Gai." Shizune stated as she shows a picture of Lee using the 5th gate.
"And last but not least Tenten, the only female Kunoichi of Team Gai. Her weapons skills are so advanced that she can switch between weapon fighting styles and even ranges with ease and her accuracy is dead on given she can hit 100/100 marks with ease." Shizune explained to the audience as she shows a clip of Tenten throwing weapons.
"Team Guy is notable for having a more Chinese theme to them. Such as Neji's fighting style comes from the baguazhang, one of the three main Chinese martial arts of the Wudang school. Gai and Rock Lee's character and fighting styles greatly resembles Bruce Lee and Tenten's fashion and fighting style stereotypes the Chinese theme." Shizune stated showing picture comparing them to aforementioned Chinese references.
"Team Gai is also known for intense physical training exercises such as walking 500 laps around Konoha, climbing large canyons and mountains with 500 lb weighs on the ankles and alot of other stuff considered too intense for an ordinarily human." Shizune stated showing a picture of Gai mountain climbing with his team with Tenten lagging behind.
"If you believe might is right and would love to train and fight while gaining some discipline, Team Gai is right for you." Shizune stated drinking some Sake.
"This is it for Today . Come back next time when we would explain the different Squads in Konoha's armed forces on the Konoha Squad brochure segment, have a nice day." Shizune stated.
