100 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Byakuya and Naruto continue their fight with each other.

"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.

"What the hell is that? His sword transformed." Naruto said to himself as he is surrounded by thousands of blades that reflect light in such a way as they appear as cherry blossom petals.

"Now i'm not going to tell you again, come with me or perish." Byakuya said to Naruto as he surrounds the Jinchuriki with his Shikai.

"Never ! I told you i'm never giving up." Naruto replied.

"Fine, time to punish your arrogance!" Byakuya stated as he moves his blades so fast they appear invisible to Naruto.

"The blades disappeared!" Naruto said to himself as he looks around to see the blades are gone before he can notice, his entire body is cut up, all the blades hit him in every part except his vital organs. Naruto collapses to the ground and struggles to get back up.

"I have already told you that our levels are as distant as the earth from the heavens. Must i spell it out for you?" Byakuya said to Naruto in an arrogant stoic tone as he walks over to Naruto but then he sees that it was a clone covered in paper bombs .

"Fooled ya!" Naruto shouted.

"What?" Byakuya stated with shock on his face as he dodges a blast that destroys everything within a 20 foot radius .

"Got him!" Naruto said to himself only to see Byakuya standing 330 feet in the air.

"Do you think such petty tricks could catch me?" Byakuya asked with a stoic arrogant tone .

"How are you standing in the air?" Naruto asked him.

"It's a technique us Shinigami have called Eauōku(エアウォークAirwalk), that's because unlike you humans, us spirits can condense and solidify our Reiryoku to walk up to 100 meters high " Byakuya explained to Naruto.

"Spirits? You guys can't be spirits? I have seen ghost before and i never seen anything like you guys, you guys are humans given you have legs ." Naruto said to Byakuya .

"It's as i said before, the gap in power is too great for you even if you had 1,000 years of training, there's no way any human can equal me." Byakuya stated.

"Well never say never because i'll make you eat those words." Naruto replied.


10 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Kakashi and Hitsugaya stare down at each other, waiting to make their first move.

"The Intent to kill is strong in this kids eyes. He's the one who took out Gaara of the desert who was not only a Jinchūriki but a Kage. I don't think i can take him myself. I must do whatever it's necessary to stall until backup arrives." Kakashi said to himself .

"Where is the Jinchuriki?" Hitsugaya asked.

"So how you became a Captain?" Kakashi answered with a question .

"I might as well answer your question, considering this your very last question you ever ask, once i'm done with you would be answering the questions . My name is Toshiro Hitsugaya, Captain of the 10th Division in the Gotei 13. I entered the Shinigami Academy and graduated early despite my age , i was immensely talented and excelled in all areas in combat and i mastered my Zanpakutō that you see here, it's been nearly 18 years since i became a Captain." Hitsugaya explained to Kakashi.

"I must say kid you remind me of myself. I assume your around 12-13 in Soul Society years, what a coincide , i have been Jōunin for just as long as you have, i too was an extremely gifted prodigy. Now i'm starting to understand how you were able to defeat the Kazekage, this battle should be very interesting." Kakashi stated as he thinks back to his past .

"Funny you mention that, we have limited Intel about you recovered from the Hidden Sand. You're the Konohagakure Jōunin leader of Team 7, the team where the Jinchūriki is under guard. Where's the Jinchūriki?" Hitsugaya questioned the silver-haired Jōunin .

"I'm not answering your questions, if anything you going to answer my questions. For starters what is this Gotei 13? Are you allied with the Akatsuki?" Kakashi asked the young Captain.

"I don't Know know any organization called the Akatsuki ! As for the Gotei 13 , i rather die than tell you anything about the Gotei 13." Hitsugaya answered.

"Very well then, i 'll just have to capture you alive then." Kakashi stated.

"Not if i kill you first!" Hitsugaya replied as he charges at Kakashi with his sealed sword.

Hitsugaya goes for a double sword slash but Kakashi blocks both blows and counters with a lunging strike aimed at Hitsugaya's head but Hitsugaya dodges the strike. Hitsugaya counters with several lunges towards Kakashi's neck but Kakashi dodges them. Kakashi blocks and leaps into the air blocking a jumping strike from Hitsugaya and clashes 3 blows with each other.

"This kid is good, he managed to block my blows with the skill of a master swordsman of the caliber of ANBU." Kakashi said to himself.

"This guy is good, he's blocking my long sword with just a small knife, this guy is skilled indeed." Hitsugaya stated to himself.

Kakashi comes at him with a lunging strike but Hitsugaya dodges it with a sidestep , Kakashi kicks dirt in Hitsugaya's face and comes at him with the blade but Hitsugaya dodges the blade.

"I see an opening!" Hitsugaya stated as he goes for a thrusting attack but Kakashi leaps on the blade and weighs it down with his foot and goes for a sweeping slash with his kunai but the silver-haired Captain narrowly dodges the attack losing a few hairs in the process.

"Yōgeki # 1 . Musei Kubishite (無声首して Silent Neck Flash)" Hitsugaya shouted as he flash steps behind Kakashi moving at 733.3ft/sec(500 MPH) and uses a stabbing attack to stab his jugular vein and hit his spinal cord causing Kakashi to drop to the ground .

"That took care of everything!" Hitsugaya said to himself but before he can react Kakashi appears behind him with a kunai knife to the back of his neck.

"You shouldn't take your eyes off your opponent." Kakashi said to Hitsugaya as the Squad 10 Captain noticed it was a clone. Kakashi moves to cut Hitsugaya but his blade is blocked by Hitsugaya using two hands on his blade ,Hitsugaya then pushes back Kakashi 5 feet away with a kick .

"You're movements are fast, you switched yourself with a clone last second before i can react." Hitsugaya stated.

"You're not half bad for a kid!" Kakashi replied only to see Hitsugaya behind him once again.

"However, you can't counter this! Nadegiri (撫で斬り, Killing Stroke) # 15 Hāfumūn no Shi(ハーフムーンの死Half Moon Death) " Hitsugaya chanted as he swings his blade in a horizontal slash area and creates an energy wave with the first slash.

Kakashi dodges the first strike ducking then Hitsugaya hits the blade down on the ground with the second slash which Kakashi evades by rolling sideways, Hitsugaya then uses Shunpo to appear in front of Kakashi and goes for a rising vertical slash wave but Kakashi avoids 5 Reiatsu charged vertical slashes and one final sweeping horizontal slash . The force of the final horizontal slash cuts down 10 trees .

"I barely dodged that attack. His Kenjutsu is flawless, he used a horizontal strike charged with Chakra to force me to duck so he can catch me with a rising vertical strike." Kakashi stated to himself as he goes into his pocket to get some small spikes in his hand. Hitsugaya runs towards Kakashi and see the spikes on the ground.

"Like that would work!" Hitsugaya shouted as he leaps into the air but Kakashi is behind him.

"You left your guard down!" Kakashi replied as he kicks the sliver haired Captain to the ground. Hitsugaya gets back and evades a barrage of 30 lunging stabs from Kakashi .

"He's slashing so fast!" Hitsugaya said to himself as he blocks 20 more slashes from Kakashi and forced to be on the defensive .

"Now you're cornered!" Kakashi stated as he comes at Hitsugaya's face with a lunging blow but Hitsugaya manages to use Shunpo to escape.

He clashes with Kakashi again, both of them using both holds to hold their blades and clash attacks with each uses a drop kick to push Kakashi off him and goes for a vertical strike but Kakashi blocks then kicks him 20 feet into the woods. He then goes to attack Kakashi but he sees he's gone.

"Where did he go?" Hitsugaya asked himself looking for him.

"Over here!" Kakashi answered as he throws shuriken at Hitsugaya using the tress to conceal his movements but Hitsugaya uses his Reiatsu to blow away the shuriken . Hitsugaya then uses Shunpo and stabs Kakashi through the back.

"Did you think that childish tactic would work on me?" Hitsugaya asked Kakashi only to realize it was a log he stabbed with a paper bomb attached to it. Hitsugaya cuts the log in half and flees before the bomb exploded.

"Let's see how you hold up to this!" Kakashi said to Hitsugaya as he throws several more kunai at Hitsugaya from a westward direction .

"Again with the games!" Hitsugaya shouted that they are rigged with exploding tags .

"You should be careful, try blowing them away with Chakra and they explode." Kakashi said to Hitsugaya as he speaks to Hitsugaya from a close distance hiding behind the trees.

"Shit , that bastard!" Hitsugaya replied as he dodges them with a backflip as the kunai hit 5 trees and explode, toppling the trees . He then sees a giant 15 foot long, 1,000 lb log heading towards him coming westward but the silver-haired Captain cuts it with ease with a vertical slash.

"Not bad Kid!" Kakashi said to Hitsugaya.

"This is getting ridiculous , quit these childish games and fight me like a man." Hitsugaya shouted he then sees smoke come out of the log he cut in half and Kakashi then leaps from a 50 foot tree with his kunai . Hitsugaya dodges it barely with a roll but his face gets a small cut on it from Kakashi's attack.

"You expect me to fight clean ? How naïve, i'm not a Shinobi for a reason." Kakashi stated while twirling his knife around with one hand with Hitsugaya's blood on the blade then he goes to swing at his neck but the Squad 10 Captain dodges it .

"I didn't come here expecting a clean fight. I'll admit to being quite underhanded sometimes myself." Hitsugaya replied as he clashes attacks with Kakashi again and after 20 clashes, Hitsugaya lightly cuts Kakashi across the chest with a horizontal slash .

"Not bad, you got a good hit on me!" Kakashi said to Hitsugaya .

"That's what you get for underestimating me!" Hitsugaya replied as he goes to clash with Kakashi again.

Kakashi charges at Hitsugaya but Hitsugaya catches his arm and then uses his Zanpakutō to try slashing Kakashi's neck but Kakashi dodges the attack and kicks Hitsugaya away from him. Kakashi goes to stab Hitsugaya with the kunai in his right hand but the silver-haired Captain blocks it with his Zanpakutō. Both of struggle to overpower each other but Kakashi eventually gets the upper hand by going behind the Squad 10 Captain and kicks him into the ground .

Hitsugaya drops his Zanpakutō on the ground and struggles to get it but Kakashi leaps in the air with his kunai and aims it at his neck but Hitsugaya catches Kakashi's right arm with both of his hands and struggles to push back Kakashi who is only 2 inches close to his neck but the silver-haired Captain counters by kicking Kakashi in the balls and then throws him off him and knocks away the Shinobi's blade. Hitsugaya runs to pick up his sword but Kakashi appears behind him using Shunshin with a roundhouse kick . Hitsugaya does a roll to avoid it and dodges a few kicks aimed at him but Hitsugaya counters by using Shunpo to appear behind him to do a sweeping slash next to Kakashi's neck but Kakashi dodges the attack and goes for a punch but Hitsugaya grabs his hand. Kakashi then takes out another kunai knife to attack Hitsugaya this time surrounded by a blue Chakra aura, Hitsugaya comes at him with a light blue Reiatsu to clash and create a 100 foot explosion with their Reiatsu.

"You're tough!" Kakashi said to Hitsugaya.

"Same here !" Hitsugaya stated.

"I had a feeling you're going to be this tough." Kakashi replied as they go to fight again.


50 miles south of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Rangiku and Izuru head to Sunakagure find the Kyuubi but the come across Renji and Hisagi who have been washed up in the river current and are out cold in the middle of the forest near a river.

"What the hell are they doing their asleep?" Rangiku asked .

"They look like they have been knocked out." Izuru answered as he wakes them up using healing Kidō .

"Rangiku , Izuru what are you doing here?" Renji asked them.

"We found you out here in the middle of nowhere, where's Captain Kuhichi?" Rangiku answered with a question.

"I don't know, all i remember is that we were washed away by a powerful water current and then wake up to find you." Hisagi replied.

"Where's Captain Hitsugaya?" Renji asked.

"He's fighting a Jōunin, he told us to go to Sunakagure without him." Rangiku answered.

"Let's call Captain Kuichi guys!" Renji stated as he looks around for his phone but can't find it.

"What's wrong?" Hisagi asked Renji.

"My phone was washed away!" Renji answered.

"Same thing happened to my phone!" Hisagi stated.

"I'll call him!" Rangiku replied as she tires to call Byakuya but the call failed to call through.

"What happened?" Renji asked Rangiku .

"It's like there's interference in Byakuya's current location." Rangiku answered.

"He must also must be fighting a Jōunin the Reiatsu level is so intense around Byakuya that it must be interfering with the service." Izuru explained to the group.

"These damn Denreishinki weren't built for this world. it was only met for Shinigami to communicate with Soul Society while in the Human World we're used too." Renji stated.

"Yeah , in the Human World we're usually under a limiter. The Denreishinki would jam under stress if it's exposed to any power level higher than a 3rd seat." Rangiku explained to the group.

"So calling Hitsugaya is out of the question given his foe is a Jōunin?" Izuru asked.

"We can still detect RYK with it and we can and make calls provided we're not within the radius of the high spiritual power." Rangiku answered.

"We can't possibly invade Sunakagure alone as Lieutenants, we'll be wiped out by the Jōunins there." Hisagi stated.

"We'll call for backup Captains as well as Zaraki's squad to proceed with the Invasion, we would need to assemble a medical squad for Captain Hitsugaya and Probably Captain Kuchiki too." Rangiku replied.

"I'm calling Rukia to see if she's alright." Renji said to his friends.

"She's not picking up either?" Hisagi asked Renji.

"Damn it Rukia's in danger!" Renji stated.

"Rukia is a Lieutenant now, she 's not some weakling anymore." Rangiku replied.

"Well check the Denreishinki just to see how she is doing." Izuru said to Renji.


Meanwhile at the Land of Rivers caverns 20 miles south of the former Akatsuki hideout.

Rukia and Sakura begin their fight with each other as they clash attacks with each holds back Sakura's kunai with her Zanpakutō.

"Tell me where Naruto is!" Rukia demanded .

"Never you flat chested bitch!" Sakura replied.

"You're the one to talk ! " Rukia stated.

"You Akatsuki's aren't going to lay a hand on Naruto." Sakura shouted as she then kicks Rukia 30 feet across into the cave wall concaving the wall by 5 feet.

"What incredible strength she processed, just a light kick like that sent me flying like i was a ragdoll." Rukia said to herself as she gets back up.

"You're still standing ? You're not as weak as you look " Sakura said to Rukia.

"Same here! Who the hell are you?" Rukia asked the pink haired Kunoichi.

"Sakura Haruno, Chūnin kunoichi of Konohagakure, a medical-nin, and a member of Team Kakashi." Sakura answered .

"A Chūnin ? That's impossible, the strength she demonstrated can kill most 3rd seat level Shinigami in one blow. A Chūnin is approximately Menos level, she is more of a Adjuchas class threat." Rukia said to herself.

"Aren't you going to address yourself?" Sakura asked Rukia.

"I'm Rukia Kuchiki, Lieutenant Shinigami of the Gotei 13." Rukia replied.

"Gotei 13 ? So you're not an Akatsuki ? " Sakura asked.

"Nope , we're not we're the Gotei 13 , we came to take the Kyuubi to put an end to the suffering of this world." Rukia answered.

"As i'm going to believe that bullshit you bitch, you will need to take me down to get to Naruto." Sakura replied as she clashes with Rukia's Zanpakutō. Sakura goes for a punch that Rukia blocks with both hands on her sword guard . Rukia goes to cut Sakura but Sakura blocks with her bare hand.

"She blocked with her barehand, that's impossible." Rukia said to herself as she gets her distance from Sakura.

Sakura comes at Rukia with a swing strike which nearly takes the Lieutenant's head off with the swipe and creates a 5 foot fissure within the ground . Rukia ducks down to avoid a second punch strike but Sakura uses a sweep kick to trip Rukia and then uses axe kick to smashing Rukia but the raven haired Shinigmai rolls away from the kick. Sakura throws a kunai knife at Rukia while she's still on the ground but she uses Shunpo to dodge the kunai and appear behind Sakura and aim her blade towards her back and stabs her through the back.

"Not bad but not good enough!" Sakura stated revealing to be a clone as the real Sakura comes at Rukia with a punch but Rukia dodges the punch by only a few feet . The punch creates a 20 foot diameter, 5 foot deep hole in the cave wall producing 1,314 lbs of TNT force.

"That was too close for comfort!" Rukia thought to herself as Sakura then comes at her and grabs her and throws Rukia 30 feet through the cave wall with violent force , Rukia ends up in another part of the cave but gets back up and dodges a kunai strike from Sakura.

"You can't defeat me ! I was trained by the Hokage herself." Sakura said to Rukia as the Lieutenant wipes off the dust covering her body.

"I see, no wonder you're so powerful despite being in such a low rank. Very well no more games." Rukia replied as she pours her Reiatsu into her blade and generates a blue Reiatsu around her Zanpakutō and then dashes at Sakura and cuts her arm when she tries to block the strike.

"Damn, her attacks have gotten stronger." Sakura said to herself as Rukia dashes towards her and cuts her shoulder with a vertical slash. Sakura takes out her kunai and clashes with Rukia's sealed sword and they clash attacks with each other.

"Usugiri # 6 Rizumuburēdo ( リズムブレード Rhythm Blade )" Rukia chanted as she comes at Sakura with a crescent slash which Sakura blocks with her kunai but Rukia then does a second dance which is a dashing horizontal slash which cuts Sakura across the chest and then a downward arc slash which cuts Sakura from shoulder to hip with a deep wound.

"Damn it!" Sakura shouted holding her body from the cuts.

"Take this!" Rukia shouted as she charges towards Sakura for the finishing blow but the pink haired Kunoichi manages to get back up and goes to attack Rukia.

"I don't think so!" Sakura replied as her fist comes towards Rukia and punches through a large rock section.

"She's tough, not only is she able remain in one piece, she can still fight despite the deep cuts in her body, anyone else on her rank would be dead by the first hit alone." Rukia said to herself as she dodges a punch and a kick thrown at her.

"Hadō # 33. Sōkatsui (蒼火墜, Blue Fire, Crash Down)" Rukia chanted as she fires a burst of blue spiritual energy at Sakura but she dodges the blast and jumps in the air to do a jumping punch.

"Ōka..." Sakura shouted but Rukia launches her combo attack to intercept her blow.

"Bakdōu # 9 Geki (撃 Strike)" Rukia countered as she engulfs Sakura in a red light, completely paralyzing her in mid-air .

"I can't move!" Sakura said to herself.

"Now time to finish this with a charged blast. Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws. Hadō # 33. Sōkatsui (蒼火墜, Blue Fire, Crash Down)" Rukia chanted as she shoots a large blue wave of energy at Sakura creating a 50 foot radius explosion and sends Sakura flying 20 feet to the ground .

"ARRGH!" Sakura shouted as she screams in pain with 3rd degree burns all over her body.

"That took care of her!" Rukia said to herself only to see Sakura get back up from the blast.

"I'm..not done yet!" Sakura said to Rukia with burns on her arms and severe cuts on her body.

"You're at you limit Chūnin, a Chūnin can't hope to equal a Lieutenant, it's best you talk now." Rukia said to Sakura .

"I must say, that hurt alot . You're very strong ..." Sakura replied as she does Ox → Tiger handseals and surrounds herself with an blueish Green Chakra which heals all of her wounds and her body has no more cuts on it.

"It can't be, her wounds have fully healed ! Impossible only a master healer could heal from that." Rukia said to herself.

"As i was saying, you can't defeat me as long as i can heal myself." Sakura said to Rukia.

"She healed a seemingly fatal injury effortlessly . Regardless i'll just have to keep cutting her until she is exhausted of Chakra." Rukia said to herself as she goes to cut Sakura with a jump slash but Sakura easily holds back her entire blade with her left fist .

"Sorry but i'm not going to be caught off-guard twice." Sakura said to Rukia.

"What?" Rukia said to herself with shock as she is thrown 30 feet into another part of a cave.

"You're mine!" Sakura shouted as she charge towards Rukia.

"Usugiri # 5 Rizumuha ( リズム刃 Rhythm Blade )" Rukia chanted as she comes at Sakura with a crescent slash but her blade doesn't even cut Sakura.

"Haven't you figured it out. My power is much greater than yours." Sakura stated as Rukia notices her Zanpakutō is chipped from the collision .

"What technique is this ? Is this Hierro (Spanish for Iron)? It can't be, Hierro is only Exclusive to Arrancars, besides earlier i was able to cut her with the same technique i used on her now, what's up with her vast increase in power? Also the healing of her body ,was it a Resurrección (Spanish for "Resurrection)? No she would of have a more animal like appearance and besides it could only fully heal minor wounds and she has no Zanpakutō either, what is it then?" Rukia thought to herself.

"Give up, as long as i can concentrate Chakra around my body, you can't cut me with that sword of yours . All thanks to Chakura Kyōka (チャクラ強化Chakra enhancement) " Sakura said to Rukia.

"What?" Rukia asked with shock.

"It's a technique invented by the 5th Hokage herself. It focuses Chakra into their hands and feet using precise chakra control and releases it with pinpoint timing, which greatly enhances ones strength . Strength isn't the only thing it increases though." Sakura explained to Sakura as she throws a kunai at Rukia.

"Her speed increased!" Rukia said to herself as she dodges the kunai , the kunai rips through a small rock with ease as Rukia barely dodges it .

"I got you " Sakura shouted as she comes at Rukia with a light punch but the raven haired Shinigami blocks the punch with both hands on her sword. Sakura then dashes at her moving at supersonic speeds.

"Damn, i'm being overpowered by a light punch." Rukia said to herself as she struggles to hold back the blow.

"You're too weak!" Sakura shouted as she kicks Rukia 150 feet through several cave walls with a light kick. Sakura comes at Rukia with a lunging strike.

"Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws. Hadō # 33. Sōkatsui (蒼火墜, Blue Fire, Crash Down)" Rukia chanted as she shoots a large blue wave of energy at Sakura creating a 50 foot radius explosion but the blast does no damage to Sakura.

"What's wrong? You're attacks are alot weaker than they were earlier. Tell me about the Gotei 13." Sakura demanded.

"Never !" Rukia replied.

"Then die .Ōkashō (桜花衝 Cherry Blossom Clash)" Sakura chanted as she goes to punch struggles to hold back the strike.

"Damn, she's too powerful!" Rukia said to herself as her Zanpakutō shatters as she is hit down as massive wave of rocks is sent flying by the excess shock, which are then scattered like flower petals, the punch causes the entire cave to shake as a 50 foot diameter, 15 feet crater is formed producing 12 Tons of TNT force .


Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho

12:00 P.M. Unohana and her squad tend to the serious Injuries that Kenpachi, Yumichika and Ikkaku have suffered in there is token to get his leg surgically repaired after losing it to Tenten's kunai bomb. His arm is badly broken in three places from the Bo strike. Several doctors are already working on his injuries as he lies in the bed.

"How close to death was i?" Yumichika said to himself as he looks back at when the kunai bomb exploded , he thinks back to the battle .

10-15 minutes ago

Yumichika 's POV

Me and that girl charge at each other with a final attack. We dashed at full speed and go 300 feet across each other clashing in our final attack . The girl i fought fell 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." i arrogantly gloated as i grabbed the spike ball to see it was a trap .

"Let's...see how beautiful you look ...in hell!" that bitch replied as the she went behind a rock for cover.

"NOOOOOO...!" i shouted as i tried to run from the blast but it's too late.

I tried to use Kidō to shield himself from the blast but the shield was blown away. Had not for Bakudō # 39 . Enkosen( 円閘扇,Arc Shield), i would of died for sure, the shield was only enough to shield my upper body, it took my left leg in the process but better than being blow to bits entirely, still it was glad no one saw me use Kidō in the 11th division otherwise they would definitely kick me out.

Back to 3rd Person POV

Isane walks in to check up on Yumichika.

"You're awake , thought you would be out alot longer. We we're going to proceed with your foot replacement surgery." Isane said to the 5th seat.

"What's Ikkaku's and Kenpachi's condition?" Yumichika asked Isane.

"Ikkaku has suffered 2nd degree burns, 3 fractured ribs, blunt force trauma to the brain and broke bones on both his arms, had not for Lieutenant Kusajishi bringing you here sooner, you all would of died within a hour. It 's a miracle you were able to survive the explosion , any ordinarily 5th seat officer would be dead and even some Lieutenants like myself wouldn't had survived." Isane explained to Yumichika .

"What about Kenpachi?" Yumichika asked.

"He survived but is in critical condition, he's a monster . His heart was nearly destroyed and his body has been scarred with 3rd degree burns, it's a good thing he came sooner here otherwise he would of died of blood loss." Isane explained to the 5th seat.

"Incredible, most people would be dead after the beating Kenpachi took." Yumichika stated.

"He'll just be out for a week in the recovery and Ikkaku should be fully healed in 3 days." Isane replied.

"Is Ikkaku and Kenpachi awake yet?" Yumichika asked.

"Nope, if anything Unohana is performing the emergency heart transplant to save his life." Isane answered.


Meanwhile at the 1st Division Headquarters & Barracks

Yamamoto gets the emergency report that Squad 11 was wiped out with all but Yachiru badly injured and hospitalized.

"So Kenpachi's squad was wiped out?" Yamamoto asked.

"Yeah, all but Lieutenant Kusajishi were fatally injured and are listed in critical condition in Unohana's barracks. It's believed the squad went up against high level Jōunin and Special Jōunin." Sasakibe explained to the Captain Commander.

"I can't believe this! The 11th Division is the direct-combat Division with a specialization in mêlée combat. These Shinobi's are far more dangerous than i originally thought." Yamamoto stated.

"We also got a call from Lieutenant Matsumoto. Captains Hitsugaya and Kuchiki are also engaged in fighting Jōunin and all the Lieutenants in Matsumoto's team are without any Captains, it's also to believe that even if Hitsugaya and Kuchiki were to win these fights, they would not be able to commerce the invasion of Sunakagure." Sasakibe replied.

"This is a disaster, everything is going horribly wrong. Kenpachi was the driving force of the Invasion , with him gone and two more of our Captains most likely going to suffer the same fate, we are seriously shorthanded here. Sasakibe get me Captains Kurotsuchi and Komamura here immediately . Also tell Matsumoto about Team Kenpachi." Yamamoto demanded.

"Very well Head Captain!" Sasakibe replied.

"Tell Team Matsumoto that they are not to enter the city until Kurotsuchi and Komamura arrive there. Have then position themselves within 10 miles of the city until reinforcements arrive." Yamamoto commanded.

Soifon suddenly appears out to talk with Yamamoto.

"Captain Yamamoto , let me go with these guys!" Soifon said.

"I cannot let you go into battle, your only 50% your actual power." Yamamoto replied.

"Yamamoto, 2 Captains would hardly be enough!" Soifon replied.

"Kenpachi Zaraki, one of the strongest Captains we have was taken out at full power, a Captain at 50% power is no match against a full power Jōunin." Yamamoto replied.

"So they defeated Zaraki of all people, these Shinobi are truly fearsome . Guess i'll stand down for now." Soifon said to herself .


Meanwhile at Sunakagure

Bull arrives at the gate with Gai and Lee on his large back. Temari sees the dog.

"That's Kakashi's hound, what is he doing with Might Gai on his back as well as his student?" Temari asked as she rushes to see the situation as well as Masturi.

"Temari, good thing to see you!" Bull said to the Jōunin.

"What the hell happened?" Temari asked .

"No time to explain, i must bring Gai to the hospital or he'll die." Bull answered as he runs into the village.

"Who did this to Gai?" Temari asked as she walks with Bull to the hospital.

"It was a Shinigmai!" Bull answered.

"You mean like the ones who kidnapped Gaara?" Temari asked Bull.

"Yeah similar to that!" Bull replied.

"Where's Tenten and Neji?" Temari asked .

"They are pursuing Pakkun who is heading to Team Kakashi ." Bull stated.

"Man these guys are powerful, to take out the Mighty Beast like that , i would hate to fight against the foe Gai fought." Temari replied.

"Send out a carrrier brid to Team Shira as soon as possible, it's best we get them here for backup. I have a bad feeling things are going to get worse from here." Baki said to the grou


30 miles east of the Land of Rivers Land of Wind border.

Rangiku, Izuru, Hisagi and Renji cross a series of canyons and get a call from Lieutenant Sasakibe.

"It's Sasakibe!" Izuru stated as Rangiku goes to answer the phone.

"Rangiku we got horrifying news about Team Kenpachi." Sasakibe said to the 10th division Lieutenant.

"What is it?" Rangiku asked.

"The entire team was annihilated by the Shinobi." Sasakibe answered grimly.

"What?" Rangiku asked shocked to hear the news .

"5th seat Yumichika Ayasegawa, 3rd seat Ikkaku Madarame and Captain Kenpachi were taken out of the battlefield due to severe injuries ,we are currently undergoing an investigation of what occurred. However we have reports that the squad itself was wiped out." Sasakibe explained to the group.

"Impossible, it can't be...in just a few hours they suffered that many injuries?" Izuru stated.

"What the hell is going on? " Hisagi asked.

"Shinobi apparently lived up to there names alright, they caught them off guard and took them out " Renji stated.

"This is very bad, if the 11th division could be wiped out that fast , then we are all in serious danger . We stand no chance if we invade Sunakagure." Rangiku replied.

"Calm down Matsumoto, we will send backup in a short while, just have your unit avoid combat at all cost . Do not to enter the city until Kurotsuchi and Komamura arrive there. Position yourselves within 10 miles of the city until reinforcements arrive okay." Sasakibe explained to the Lieutenants.

"Right!" Rangiku replied as she hangs up the phone.

"When did you become leader?" Renji asked.

"Yamamoto appointed Hitsugaya as team leader, besides i know more about the Shinobi than anyone here." Rangiku answered.

"What do you know about the Shinobi so far?" Hisagi asked.

"They're highly dangerous, they use Kidō like attacks called Jutsu that is gained by forming hand seals similar to how Shinigami have Kidō incantations, they are also able to hide their real power, probably the reason why they were able to take out Kenpachi's squad." Rangiku explained to the group.

"There's more to that, even if a Shinobi ambushed them, they would need plenty of raw power to beat Team Kenpachi . I was 6th seat of the 11th Division, trust me the only way they could lose if they fought against another Direct-combat Division within the Shinobi ranks." Renji stated.


10 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Kakashi and Hitsugaya finish clashing attacks with each other, everything within a 100 foot radius around them has been reduced to ruins.

"You're tougher than i though, however i'm done playing games with kids." Kakashi said to Hitsugaya as he removes his headband to reveal his Sharingan eye.

"His power is within his eye . If he's anything like Kenpachi, i'm in serious trouble. I got to end this quickly." Hitsugaya said to himself as he prepares to use Kidō.

"You're move Captain!" Kakashi said to himself.

"Hadō # 33. Sōkatsui." Hitsugaya shoots a fireball directly at Kakashi .

"So fast!" Kakashi said to himself as he's hit by the Kidō which destroys everything within a 100 foot radius taking out 4 trees.

"I got him!" Hitsugaya said to himself only to see a substitution log.

"Hadō # 33. Sōkatsui." Kakashi countered as he fires his own blast while he's in midair from his right palm.

"What ? Impossible!" Hitsugaya said to himself with shock as he dodges a blue fireball aimed at his head destroys everything within a 100 foot radius.

"My aim was off a bit, that blast had more power than i thought." Kakashi said to himself.

"That was Kidō but it's impossible, even with powers to rival Shinigami, there is no way humans can use Kidō. Regardless i doubt he can do incantation." Hitsugaya said to himself as charges up his Kidō.

"Looks like he's getting serious!" Kakashi said to himself as he goes into the same stance as Hitsugaya.

"Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws." both Hitsugaya and Kakashi said as they aim the palm of their hands.

"Hadō # 33. Sōkatsui." both of them shouted as they both fire a powerful blast that levels everything within a 200 foot radius, canceling each other out.

"How was he able to copy that? He copied the stance and used in the exact same time as i did, he even said the incantation of the blast. It was merely a fluke." Hitsugaya stated to himself as he comes at Kakashi .

"Time to get serious!" Kakashi said to himself as he goes towards Hitsugaya with faster attacks.

"He must be using a hand seal to mimic my movements but i haven't seen him use a hand sign other than Kidō based hand signs? How is he able to copy a Shinigami's Kidō with flawless precision despite being human? " Hitsugaya stated to himself as he clashes swords with the Copy Cat Ninja .

"What's wrong? Don't tell me this is all you got." Kakashi said to Hitsugaya.

"You seem to copy moves, but try copying this! Mōda # ..." Hitsugaya stated but before he can do his sword stance his blow was intercepted by Kakashi.

"Mōda # 9 Reiteki Shōjō(霊的衝上 Spiritual Thrust )" Kakashi chanted as he goes for a horizontal slash with his kunai .

Hitsugaya blocks the first 45 degree slash aimed to cut from his hip to his shoulders then Kakashi goes for a two-handed thrusting stab to attack him with 5 stabs, which Hitsugaya blocks then Kakashi goes to the last stab which Hitsugaya blocks but the attack generates a shock wave that pushes Hitsugaya back 30 feet.

"He's even copied my Zanjutsu, this time executing it before i can even do it." Hitsugaya stated with shock.

"Give up you can't beat me, whatever technique you use is useless here." Kakashi replied with a kunai knife behind his back.

"I don't intend to!" Hitsugaya replied.

"...Do so Shinobi ! Bakudō # 61. Rikujokoro ( 六杖光牢 Six Rods Prison of Light) " Kakashi chanted as he summons six thin, wide beams of light that slam into Hitsugaya's midsection, holding him in place. Hitsugaya is unable to move any part of his body including the parts that were not struck by the beams.

"Impossible, he predicted my next move and was even able to use the Kidō i was planing to use on him." Hitsugaya said to himself.

"Now tell me about the Gotei 13!" Kakashi asked Hitsugaya but then he realized he got a clone.

"Bakudō # 50 .Jūfuku ( 重複Duplication)" Hitsugaya chanted as he creates over 10 clone physical copies of himself to go to attack Kakashi.

"Clones huh?" Kakashi stated.

"Hadō # ōhō (雷吼炮, Thunder Roar Cannon) " The first Hitsugaya chanted as he fires a massive wave of yellow energy at Kakashi.

"Hadō # 59 . Tsurara(つららIcicle Spear) " The second Hitsugaya chanted as he generates an icicle spear.

"Hadō # 54 Haien (廃炎, Abolishing Flames )" The 3rd clone chanted as he fires a blast of purple spiritual energy .

"Hadō # 33. Sōkatsui (蒼火墜, Blue Fire, Crash Down)" 3 clones chanted as they shoot blue fireballs at Kakashi.

"Hadō # 31. Shakkahō(赤火砲, Red Fire Cannon)" 4 clones chanted as they fire a ball of red energy at Kakashi .

The attacks combined created a massive 500 foot explosion destroying nearby trees with the real Hitsugaya appears to attack Kakashi while he's trapped underneath the massive dust cloud.

"Ye lord! Banish the devil within the depths of hades, The hand of god summons hellfire from the heavens! Hadō # 81 . Haretsuru Nangaizā (難ガイザーを破裂するExploding Flame Geyser)" Hitsugaya chanted as he raises his right arm high and creates a massive fiery explosion that erupts from the round as the blast levels everything within a 660 foot radius.

"Shit!" Kakashi shouted as he's engulfed within the fiery explosion.

"Forget it Kakashi, i can see right through your eye technique, it's powerful but i doubt you can copy that much in such a short amount of time, us Shinigami know over 200 Kidō spells, 100 that are offensive and 100 defensive. I know over 90 of these spells without incarnation, you picked the worst guy to fight Jōunin. No matter how powerful you humans are, you can't match the experience of a Captain level Shinigmai." Hitsugaya stated.

"Earth Style: Earth Dome (地球スタイル:地球ドーム Chikyū sutairu: Chikyū dōmu) " Kakashi said as he can out an earth dome, which protected him from the blast.

"Huh?" Hitsugaya asked with shock.

"200 huh ? Not that impressive." Kakashi replied.

"What do you mean unimpressive?" Hitsugaya stated with shock.

"Us ninjas have over 2,000 Jutsus. There are thousands of potential jutsu to be discovered. I have mastered and copied over 900 Jutsus, thanks for teaching me Kidō kid." Kakashi explained to the silver-haired Captain as he kicks Hitsugaya through a rock.

"Get him!" Hitsugaya said to the clones as the clones then goes to attack Kakashi. Two of them come at him from left and right going to do a double dashing stab but Kakashi counters the attack .

"Hadō # 31. Hadō # 33 Sōkatkkahō (蒼火墜, Red Blue Fire Cannon)" Kakashi chanted as he fires a red energy blast from his left arm destroying one clone and a blue energy blast from his right one killing the other clone.

"Damn, he copied my attack again ,this time combing two Kidōs together." Hitsugaya said to himself.

Kakashi then kicks one of the clones into a tree killing the clone. One of the clones tries to attack him up front but he grabs their blade barehanded and uses the kunai to cuts it's left arm off, one of them comes towards Kakashi and collides his sword with his kunai.

"Hadō # 54 . Haien (廃炎, Abolishing Flames )" Kakashi chanted as he swings his kunai to fire the blast and incinerates the clone completely .

"He copied that one too!" Hitsugaya said to himself.

One of Hitsugaya's clones tires to attack him from behind but Kakashi does a backflip and uses a roundhouse kick to take out that clone. 4 more appear and surrounding him but Kakashi leaps into the air .

"Hadō # 63 . Raikōhō (雷吼炮, Thunder Roar Cannon) " Kakashi chanted as he fires a massive wave of yellow lightning destroying the remaining clones. Kakashi's hand is then caught by a long metal chain with a crescent-shaped blade stuck in his left arm is encased in ice.

"I finally figured out your secret, how you were able to copy my attacks? It's that eye of yours isn't it?" Hitsugaya questioned Kakashi.

"You catch on quick kid!" Kakashi stated as he tries to move his arm.

"You can copy my techniques very well , however i noticed a glaring flaw in your can copy every attack i do huh, then why didn't you copy my Hadō # 59 .Tsurara(つららIcicle Spear)? The answer is that you can't copy attacks that process a unique element or sub elemental ability such as also can't copy techniques that are unique to the user such as my Shikai i lunged into your arm." Hitsugaya explained to Kakashi.

"So you not only figured out my Sharrigan's weakness, you even figured out the basic mechanics of a Kekkei Genkai (血継限界;"Bloodline Limit). You really are a child genius." Kakashi replied.

"Every Shinigami Zanpakutō is essentially a Kekkei Genkai .Each Shinigami carries a Zanpakutō, and each Zanpakutō has a unique power . A Zanpakutō's shape and abilities are based on their Shinigami's . Using a Zanpakutō is no different than you arms in terms of combat. Combine with my Ice based Zanpakutō, you can't copy me." Hitsugaya explained to Kakashi.

"I have to say, that was a smart move on your part." Kakashi stated.

"Reign over the Frosted Heavens, Hyorinmaru. (氷輪丸, Ice Ring)" Hitsugaya chanted as he freezes Kakashi in a massive block of ice.

"ARRGH!" Kakashi shouted as he freezes up from the attack.

"What a disappointment you turned out to be Kakashi, i didn't even need Bankai on you." Hitsugaya stated but suddenly he's dragged down to the ground.

"Don't get ahead of yourself kid, i'm only just got started using my power." Kakashi replied.

"I see, you dodged my attack by creating a clone and digging underground , good but not good enough." Hitsugaya responded as he breaks out of the hole and goes for his attack

"This kid is going to be difficult. So the rumors we're true. He processes a Kekkei Genkai, similar to Haku's Ice Release. This isn't good, especially since this kid is far stronger than Haku. Anyone who can take on Gaara of the sands is no joke." Kakashi stated to himself .

"Take this!" Hitsugaya shouted as he launched an ice dragon towards Kakashi.

"I just hope Sakura and Naruto are alright." Kakashi stated to himself as he dodges a devastating ice dragon attack that freezes everything in it's path within a 100 foot radius .


20 miles south of the former Akatsuki hideout.

Sakura looks at the pile of rubble that Rukia is buried underneath.

"Looks like i'm still standing, had not for using Shunpo, i would of been a dead woman, even using Shunpo i was only able to dodge the punch by 5 inches . Just trying to hold back her punch alone broke both my arms, its been over 30 minutes since she hit me with the attack, i managed to heal my broken arms. Had not for learning healing Kidō from Isane, i would of been in trouble. A punch like that had enough power to easily kill a Lieutenant-level Shinigami even if they were released, she knows the Kyuubi so i must defeat her and make her talk." Rukia stated to herself as she heals her wounds with healing Kidō.

Sakura meanwhile is eating her lunch and trying to call Naruto and Kakashi on her wireless radio.

"Come in Team Kakashi, Naruto where are you guys ? They must be over 5 kilometers away (3.125 miles), i'll try contacting them on the labtop " Sakura said to herself as she pull out a laptop within her backpack as she finishes her lunch, but before she can start it up she then sees a massive amount of Reiatsu coming out the crater. Rukia comes out the crater with the sleeves of her Shihakushō ripped and her hands healed up, she's covered with dirt covering her face and hair as well as robe.

"You're going to tell me where Naruto is?" Rukia shouted as Sakura puts the laptop back in her bag .

"How did you escape unharmed from that attack? I was sure you were dead." Sakura asked Rukia.

"You're not the only one who can heal themselves." Rukia answered while notably exhausted from using up too much Reiatsu to heal her wounds.

"Not bad, however given how long you were pretending to be out? It took you awhile so you're not very adept at it. You also used up too much Chakra , you're at your limit, even if you had enough Chakra, you can't possibly heal yourself forever. My attacks are much stronger than your sword based attacks." Sakura explained to Rukia.

"Don't get so arrogant, i was holding back my power by 20% , i haven't even released my Shikai yet." Rukia stated while eating a rejuvenation pill.

"So you were toying with me ? Figures, i knew you couldn't been that weak." Sakura stated.

"I have no intention on holding back on you anymore." Rukia replied as her Reiatsu shoots back up and she is surrounded by a light blue icy Reiatsu freezes everything within a 30 foot radius.

"What's this? You still got some fight left in you?" Sakura asked.

"Hear me out Sakura, you can't beat me, it's best you give up and tell me where's Naruto Uzumaki." Rukia demanded.

"I'm not going to give up!" Sakura replied as she goes to punch Rukia but Rukia's blade glows white and blocks the punch. Sakura drags her 20 feet away and then uses her left hand to throw another punch but Rukia block it with her sword in her right hand. The punch concaves and cracks the ground within a 30 foot radius around.

"Dance Sode no Shirayuki (袖白雪, Sleeved White Snow)" Rukia chanted as she holds her Zanpakutō out in front of her and turns it in a circle counter-clockwise. While she is turning it, the blade, hilt and tsuba turn completely white. The tsuba becomes a hollow snowflake-like circle and a white ribbon forms from the pommel. Sakura dodges the burst of Reiatsu.

"What is that sudden increase in power?" Sakura asked as her arm suddenly freezes. Rukia uses Shunpo moving at 2346.7 ft/sec (1,600 MPH) and does an arcing slash that freezes the ground and creates 5 foot high icicles within a 30 foot radius.

"Damn, her speed has increased as well as her agility. She also had the strength to block a Chakra enhanced blow from me, she wasn't bluffing." Sakura stated to herself as she lands on the ground but before she can react Rukia appears behind her.

"Some no mai, Tsukishiro (初の舞・月白, First Dance, White Moon)" Rukia chanted as she holds her Zanpakutō upside down. The blade glows as she goes for a horizontal slash but Sakura barely dodges the blade by a foot as she is surrounded by a 10 foot diameter ice ring. Sakura's legs are frozen by the ring. Sakura breaks the circle with a punch and jumps up into the air. The energy produced by the ice equals 2.6 Tons of TNT.

"Tough luck, Shinigmai. A sword that freezes the ground can't hit some in the sky." Sakura said to Rukia as she stands 100 feet high upside down using Chakra to stick her on the wall.

"Not quite!" Rukia stated as the ice covers Sakura's body.

"What?!" Sakura shouted as ice starts to cover her entire body.

"Sode no Shirayuki (袖白雪, Sleeved White Snow) doesn't simply freeze the within this circle both earth and sky is within Sode Shriayuki's range." Rukia explained to Sakura only to notice she froze a clone.

Sakura comes at her with a manages to block the kick with her Zanpakutō but Rukia pushes her back with her blade and uses Some no mai, Tsukishiro but Sakura dodges the attack which create a 10 foot diameter ice pillar. She dodges 3 more of those attacks and barely blocks an attack with her bare hands as the blade cuts a gash on her left arm. Sakura is forced to block another strike with her kunai but Rukia creates a 50 foot radius ice wave which freezes the kunai . Sakura is overwhelmed by the attack and was forced to guard with two falls to her knees fatigued from the Ice explosion.

"Damn it!" Sakura shouted while trying to get back up.

"What's a matter , out of gas already?" Rukia asked as she goes towards Sakura and Shunpos towards her and comes at her with a one hand sword slash.

"She's fast!" Sakura said to herself as she's forced to block the attack with both hands on her kunai as she is send flying 30 feet away.

"Time to end this ! Tsugi no mai, Hakuren (次の舞・白漣, Next Dance, White Ripple) " Rukia chanted as she calls out the name of the dance and punctures the ground once creating a large ice circle similar to the first dance, then she punctures the ground in front of her four times in a semi-circle. She takes a battle stance as the ice particles begin to flow up from the punctures she made in the ground.

Rukia then fires a massive, powerful pure-white wave of ice from her Shikai that freezes half the cavern they are fighting in. The energy generated from producing the ice blast equals 11.6 tons of TNT. Sakura manages to concentrate Chakra around her fist to shield her upper body from then ice, seriously reducing the impact but her legs are frozen.

"Damn it!" Sakura shouted .

"I got you now!" Rukia stated as she goes to charge up her attacks.

"I refuse to die here!" Sakura said to Rukia as she pulls out an exploding tag attach to a kunai and throws it at her feet and uses it to break out of the ice and she leaps out doing a backflip and heals her body in the process. she lands on her knee and tries to get back up.

"She blew away the ice on her leg with an explosive paper bomb, all that just to escape my ice. What recklessness,however she was able to successfully able to block most of my ice attack with reduced wounds and even a point-blank range explosion is not enough to take her down. I'm in serious trouble if my most powerful attack barely did any real damage to her." Rukia stated to herself.

"Damn that was some powerful attack, i wasn't expecting such a power increase from you." Sakura said to herself while notably exhausted from using up then eats a food pill that restores her Chakra.

"So you came prepared too?" Rukia asked.

"Yep , now let's continue this fight!" Sakura answered as she charges at Rukia and Rukia charges at Sakura.

"Some no mai, Tsukishiro (初の舞・月白, First Dance, White Moon)" Rukia chanted as she creates a 20 foot diameter ice pillar but Sakura dodges it.

"You got to do better than that!" Sakura shouted.

"Then i will!" Rukia replied as she creates 5 ice pillars but Sakura dodges 5 pillars and comes at her with her kunai knife.

"You missed!" Sakura said to Rukia only to see Rukia go for another attack.

"Tsugi no mai, Hakuren." Rukia chanted as she fires a blast directly at Sakura but Sakura dodges the attack.

Sakura then clashes with Sakura's one hand kunai strike with a two hand jump slash but Rukia kicks Sakura in the face knocking her back a few feet . Rukia goes for a arcing slash but the ice is cut by Sakura's kunai. They then do a series of high-speed slashes and clashes both moving at 2346.7 ft/sec (1,600 MPH) using Shunpo and Shunshin. Rukia lands on the ground and then uses another Hakuren attack then goes for another jump slash but Sakura blocks using a two-handed kunai guard.

"You used Hakuren as a distraction and attacked from another bad but not good enough." Sakura said to Rukia as she grabs the young Lieutenant's Shikai barehanded. and throws her back 20 feet away.

"Impossible, she increased her strength so she can block my attack barehanded while at full power. How strong is this woman?" Rukia said to herself.

"Time to use my full power!" Sakura said to Rukia.

"Full power?" Rukia asked shocked to hear Sakura was holding back.

"So far i have only been using nearly 1/10 of my power , time to show you the difference in our power." Sakura explained to Rukia as she surrounds her body with a blue-green aura and then causes rocks around her to fragment and releases an immense amount of power.

"This is not good! " Rukia stated as she prepares for the worst.


Meanwhile at the eastern Land of Rivers Land of Wind border.

Rangiku gets a chilling power reading within Rukia's position.

"What's going on ? This Denreishinki is picking up Reiryoku levels that are over 9,000 RYK within Rukia's area." Rangiku asked her comrades.

"What, shit! this is bad! There's no way a Lieutenant could defeat that, at least not one with Bankai." Renji answered.

" It's still increasing ...9,500..11,400..12,000 RYK...16,000 RYK ! This is madness, theses are the readings of a Captain under a limiter using Bankai." Rangiku stated.

"We need to go save her ! Rukia stands no chance against that much spiritual power." Renji shouted trying to rush to her aid.

"What about the plan? You're the only Bankai user in the team that's not a Captain." Rangiku questioned the red-haired Lieutenant.

"Exactly ! Rukia is fighting a foe who's near my level of power in Bankai. If i get to her fast enough, i can probably help beat her foe." Renji explained to Rukia.

"What if we're attacked by a Jōunin again? There's no way we can hold our own against them without Bankai." Izuru questioned Renji.

"You were attacked by a Jōunin?" Renji asked.

"Yeah, none of our Shikai attacks affected him ! He even overpowered Izuru's Wabisuke and my Haineko with ease." Rangiku explained to Renji .

"I'll be back soon, Rangiku give me your Denreishinki." Renji stated.

"Fine!" Rangiku replied.

"Renji, don't do anything stupid, just get Rukia out of there." Izuru stated.

"Don't worry , i'm not in the mood of fighting an enemy i can't beat. Don't worry, by the time you guys reached Sunakagure , reinforcements would of have arrived by then." Renji explained to Rangiku as he heads out to rescue Rukia moving at 440 ft/sec (300 MPH)using Shunpo to go over a 100 steps.

"Damn Renji, rushing out to try fighting a Captain level foe. Hisagi go aid Renji." Rangiku commanded.

"Fine!" Hisagi replied as he moves to catch up with Renji.


10 miles west of eastern Land of Rivers Land of Wind border.

Temari dashes with Bull moving at 440 ft/sec (300 MPH) using Shunshin when Bull picks up on Rangiku's scent which is on Renji's phone.

"The scent of the enemy is moving rapidly east." Bull said to Temari.

"I see how far are they?" Temari asked.

"15 miles away. You're sure you should be doing this ? You're disobeying direct orders to stay in Sunakagure." Bull questioned the blonde haired Kunoichi.

"I don't care, i want revenge for what they did . Besides we are grouping with Team Kakashi. His team can't fight these new Shinigami alone given even Might Gai and his team was wiped out." Temari replied as she dashes at 4400 ft/sec (3,000 MPH).


Back at the land of Rivers Caverns

Sakura finishes charging up her hands are now overflowing with blueish green Reiatsu.

"Her Reiatsu shot up dramatically and her arms are covered in a flame like dense Chakra unlike anything i have Since Renji's Bankai have i witness Reiatsu this powerful." Rukia stated to herself.

Sakura uses a kunai slash to create a massive shockwave that knocks back Rukia but Rukia gets back up and goes to fight Sakura again. Rukia then sees Sakura preform a back flip kick that forces Rukia to block with a two-handed sword guard. Rukia barely dodges and gets out of the way as the kick hits the ground and uplifts the ground within a 100 foot radius. The result kick causes a small aftershock felt within the cave.

"You stand no chance if that's all you got." Sakura stated.

"Don't count me out just yet!" Rukia replied as she goes for the attack but Sakura appears behind her.

"Strength and durability isn't the only thing this power boost increases." Sakura said to Rukia as she aims her Chakra enhanced punch at Rukia's face but the raven haired Lieutenant sidesteps to avoid the punch by 3 inches, she then barely dodges a flying roundhouse kick and a crescent tires to slash her but Sakura backflips over her and goes for an uppercut which Rukia barely dodges by a hair.

"Damn it, her speed has improved!" Rukia said to herself then sees a kick aimed at her head which she blocks which knocks her back into a wall.

Sakura then uses Shunshin to appear in front of Rukia moving at 3,666.6 ft/sec (2,500 MPH) and uses her palm to hit her force wave concentrates itself and causes Rukia's stomach to bleed and vomits out blood.

"Damn i missed the heart, you were fast to jump a few inches high enough to avoid the killing strike." Sakura said to Rukia.

"I'm in trouble, this woman can kill me inside and out with her attacks." Rukia said to herself knowing she took some damage to her body.

"Now die Sakura!" Sakura shouted as she goes for another punching attack.

"Crap ,she's coming at me!" Rukia said to herself as she prepares to block.

"Hyakkeinōda (百計の殴打Hundred Meter Strike)" Sakura shouted as she is about to punch Rukia.

"Bakudō # 24. Madatekkō (まだ鉄鋼Still Steel)" Rukia countered by covering herself in impenetrable steel shortly before she's punched 330 feet away through the cave . The cave starts to violently shake from the impact. Rukia emerges out of the rubble with the steel sheet around her body shattered into bits.

"So you managed to use a Jutsu to shield yourself last-minute huh?" Sakura stated.

"That punch would of killed me for sure had it hit me directly, the Kidō was suppose to last 25 seconds yet it was shattered no sooner she punched it . Her attacks are powerful but limited at close range combat. I just need to." Rukia said to herself as Sakura comes towards her.

"I got you now!" Sakura shouted.

"Bakudō # 29. Seishin Kyūkei (精神休憩 Mental Break)" Rukia chanted as she temporarily distorts Sakura's mind into making her see cherry blossoms and Ruka gets several slashes off Sakura, cutting her across the chest . Sakura tries to punch the real Rukia but hits afterimages.

"Time to finish this off!" Rukia stated as she goes for a finishing stab but Sakura grabs her sword arm and breaks her arm.

"I can see through your Genjutsu." Sakura replied as she charges up another punch and decapitates Rukia with the punch shattering her head. but it was a clone of Rukia.

"Bakudō # 50 Jūfuku ( 重複 Duplication)" Rukia shouted as she created 1 clone of herself.

"A clone?" Sakura asked as she sees Rukia uses another binding Kidō.

"Bakduō # 4 Hainawa ( 這縄,Crawling Rope) " Rukia chanted as she summons an energy rope to entangle Sakura's arms.

"Stalling your death with weak moves won't get you anywhere!" Sakura shouted as she easily break out of the Kidō.

"Not done yet! Bakudō # 36 Kake Kotei(賭けを固定Immobilizing Stake) " Rukia chanted as she surrounds Sakura with 4 stakes forming a cage around her.

"What the hell?" Sakura asked as she struggles to break out the cage.

"Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six!" Rukia chanted as her index finger generates a spark of yellow energy.

"What the hell?" Sakura asked as she starts to break the Kidō.

"Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens " Rukia chanted as sets up another Kidō

"That's not enough to stop me!" Sakura shouted as she breaks out of the Kidō cage.

"Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō." Rukia said as she traps Sakura within the Kidō .

"I can't move!" Sakura shouted as she struggles to move.

"This is a Captain level binding spell taught to me by Byakuya, you have no chance of breaking out of me, now allow me to show you another Captain Class spell." Rukia explained to Sakura as she then generates blue spiritual energy with her index and middle fingers and charges up a concentrated blast at Sakura.

"Shit!" Sakura shouted.

"Hadō #73 . Sōren Sōkatsui (双蓮蒼火墜, Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down)" Rukia shouted as she fires 2 blue bursts of blue spiritual energy with much greater potency than Hadō #33 . Sōkatsui as she blasts a hole through the massive 100 foot cave.


100 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Naruto continues to fight Byakuya and dodges his Senbonzakura attacks while Byakuya uses Eauōku(エ アウォークAirwalk), walking 100 meters high. Naruto has been evading the attacks for a while trying to find an opening. Naruto uses a punch to knock away the first tendril and backfilps away to dodge the second wave of tendrils and counters with a high jump kick and cuts the third one with his kunai but the fourth one appears behind him and knocks him into a large rock.

"See what i mean when you i said you can't understand the gap in powers between you and i. Just give up already." Byakuya said to Naruto.

"Never, i'm telling you i'm not going to just quit." Naruto stated.

"Very well then have it your way!" Byakuya replied as he moves the hilt to do a series of lunging stabs condensing the many blades of Senbonzakura into spiky tendrils that follow the direction of Byakuya's sword.

"I'm not giving up , so you can forget me going with you easily." Naruto said to Byakuya as he barely dodges 15 of the lunging strike tendrils. Naruto manages to evade all of them and goes for a punch aiming at Byakuya .

"How the hell he reach up here?" Byakuya said to himself slightly shocked at him leaping high enough to catch him but he regains his composure and uses his hilt in a guarding position causing a cluster of blades to condense a shield covering the front of his body from Naruto's punch, then he cuts Naruto with a horizontal slash on his left arm.

"Damn it!" Naruto shouted as her holds his left arm.

"Like i said before boy, you can't hope to defeat me with such petty attacks." Byakuya calmly stated.

"Don't underestimate me . It's time i shut your mouth for good believe it." Naruto replied as he forms a hand sign.

"No mater what trick you use on me, you can never hope to reach me let alone beat me." Byakuya calmly stated with a slight arrogant tone.

"Shadōw Clone Jutsu (影分身の術Kage Bunshin no Jutsu)" Naruto chanted as he creates 4 clones of himself around him.

"Do you think petty parlor tricks would be enough to beat me?" Byakuya arrogantly mocked Naruto as three clones come at him but he hits them with another tendril made from Senbonzakura however but the clones hold it back allowing a Naruto clone to thrown the real Naruto up towards Byakuya

"Shadōw Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted as he has his clone take a hit from the tendril .

"How annoying!" Byakuya calmly stated as Naruto leaps over Byakuya and then summons another clone to hop on the back on the Naruto clone and goes for a back attack with his kunai but Byakuya counters with hitting Naruto with a tendrils, knocking Naruto through several trees.

"Damn it!" Naruto shouted.

"You can create thousands of clones of yourself, the outcome would always be the same." Byakuya stated stoically only to see he hit another clone.

"Shadōw Clone Jutsu." Naruto shouted as Naruto has 20 clones come after Byakuya from below.

"Hadō 33. Sōkatsui (蒼火墜, Blue Fire, Crash Down)" Byakuya chanted fires a blue fireball to blow away all the clones below him and create a 300 foot radius explosion.

The explosion is so powerful that it left Naruto within a 55 foot diameter, 15 foot deep crater. Naruto is slightly burned from the blast which generated the force of 16 Tons of TNT .

"Crap that hurt a lot!" Naruto stated while lying on the floor. Naruto struggles to get back up and goes to fight again.

"Bakudō # 62 Hyapporankan (百歩欄干 Hundred Steps Fence)" Byakuya chanted as he generates a blue-white glowing rod of energy on his right index finger and he shoots a rod formed of energy towards the target before it disintegrates into numerous short rods pin Naruto towards a tree stunning him.

"This guy is alot tougher than i though, i got to stop playing around and get serious." Naruto said to himself as he then unleashes a blue Chakra aura that easily overpowers the binding Kidō which shocks Byakuya.

"Impossible, he overpowered a level 60's strength alone should not be enough to break out of a level 60. He's unleashing an enormous amount of spiritual energy , is this really a Genin ? It's not the energy of a Hollow, it's actually hasn't even transformed into his Bjuu form yet." Byakuya stated to himself as he is slight overwhelmed by the spiritual power of Naruto .

"Shadōw Clone Jutsu." Naruto chanted as he creates 9 clones of himself.

"Is that all? How disappointing! Your parlor tricks are unimpressive! I can create Clones too . Bakudō # 50 Jūfuku ( 重複Duplication)" Byakuya chanted as he creates over 10 clone physical copies of himself to go to attack Naruto, all wielding Senbonzakura.

"Big deal!" Naruto stated.

"I can even make the power of my attacks 20 times stronger." Byakuya replied.

"Huh, not bad but this isn't your typical clones ! 9k Shadōw Clone Jutsu ( 以上九千影分身の術 Ijō Kyū sen Kage Bunshin no Jutsu)" Naruto chanted as all the clones charge up blue Chakra around him as each of his clones make 1,000 clones each, in total making 9,001 Narutos.

"Impossible, he created that many clones! There are more clones than there are blades within my Shikai." Byakuya said to himself with shock as they all dash towards him and proceed to attack him. His first clone steps up to fight them using a wave of tendrils to kill off 345 of the clones but it's killed by a Body flicker enhanced stab through the chest.

"Shihōhappō Shuriken (四方八方手裏剣Everywhere Shuriken)" Naruto stated and his army of 8,658 SHadōw clones each throw 5 shuriken at Byakuya. All 43,280 shuriken blast through 3 Byakuya clones taking them out. Byakuya is put on the defensive as they each unleash a torrent of deadly tendrils wiping out 3,356 of the clones at once.

"This is madness, my Senbonzakura can't shield me forever against them." Byakuya said to himself as he tries to fight them off . 6 of his clones remain up against 5,302 clones. All of the clones are doing Ram →, Rat →, Bird →, Boar, → and Tiger seals.

"Ninja Art: Demon Wind Shuriken Shadōw Clone Jutsu( 多重風魔手裏剣身の術Fūma Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu)" They all shouted as they hit the clone with shuriken and the shuriken hit their target with devastating precision, leveling a city block full of trees. The real Byakuya and his remaining clones use a combination of attacks to fight off the clones.

"This guy is being a real nuisance!" Byakuya said to himself.

"Here we come!" Naruto and his clones shouted as they come at Byakuya.

"Hadō# 23 Chikara Hakki(力発揮 Force Exert)" Byakuya chanted as he and his clones use a stronger version of Hadō 1, They hit over 4,303 clones of Naruto and leaves only 999 of them around take out the remaining Byakuya clones by dog piling on them.

"Now we got the real you!" Naruto shouted as the real Byakuya is then surrounded by them.

"You think you can land a hit on me just having your clones jump at me?" Byakuya said to Naruto as he dodges all the clones diving jump tackles and punches and lands on the ground only to see Naruto bust out of the ground .

"Gotcha!" Naruto shouted as he hits Byakuya in the chin with an uppercut hitting high in the air .

"He hid underground all this time while his clones attacked? How did he conceal his Reiatsu so well behind them." Byakuya said to himself as he sees all the clones come at him

"Na ! Ru!To! Two Thousand Uzumakis Barrage! (うずまきナルト二千連弾Uzumaki Naruto Nisen Rendan) " all the Naruto clones shouted as they all throw 2,000 punches on Byakuya at the same time, his Senbonzakura provides little use as a shield as the punches go through it and knock him the air 1,600 feet high .

"He smashed through Senbonzakura's defenses!" Byakuya said to himself as he's kicked int to the ground by the real Naruto and Byakuya is smashed into the ground with the kick producing 5.25 Tons of TNT creating a 39 foot diameter 11 foot deep crater . Byakuya is barely able to get back up when he sees Naruto come towards him .

"Rasengan (螺旋丸Spiralling Sphere)" Naruto chanted as he hits Byakuya while he's down and it creates a massive explosion destroying everything within 600 foot radius.


Meanwhile in Sunakagure

Baki find out that Temari left without permission.

"What do you mean that she left without permission?" Baki shouted.

"She did, she stuck out . She went with one of Kakashi's hounds." said one of the guards.

"Damn that woman, what was she thinking going out alone ? If she dies, i won't forgive her." Baki shouted.

"She should be safe with Team Kakashi!" said one of the guards.

"There's no use sending out a team for her, we need to concentrate on protecting the borders of this city and country." Baki replied.


100 miles east of Sunagakure

Rangiku checks her Denreishinki to see how her Captain is doing.

"Everyone is engaged in a fight with some other force." Rangiku said to the group.

"Indeed, it seems mission is a disaster, Kenpachi's squad was token out first." Izuru stated only to suddenly get a reading that is very high.

"15,000 RYK . We just had a brief small flash of power from Rukia's direction " Rangiku said to his group.

"Captain Kuchiki must of saved her!" Izuru replied.

"It's 12:30 P.M. right now, we are making good timing." Rangiku stated.

"How's Captain Hitsugaya?" Izuru asked Rangiku.

"Captain Hitsugaya is alright, he seems to have Released his Shikai against that Jōunin." Rangiku replied.


10 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Hitsugaya and Kakashi continue to clash attacks with each other. Hitsugaya summons another wave of ice dragons to attack Kakashi, there are 5 of them aiming at him.

"I must act quickly! Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu (火遁・豪火球の術Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu)" Kakashi shouted as he fires a massive orb of roaring flame that hits all the ice dragons .

"Trying to burn my ice ? Don't make me laugh!" Hitsugaya said to Kakashi as the fireball is frozen in place.

"Impossible ! His attack froze solid Chakra, not only that, it froze fire itself." Kakashi said to himself shocked to see flames frozen.

"Hyorinmaru is the strongest of all ice-element Zanpakutō in Soul is powerful enough to freeze anything it touches, even your fireball Jutsu." Hitsugaya explained to Kakashi as he bursts the frozen fireball , giving birth to more ice dragons.

"He just created more from my attack" Kakashi said to himself.

"Hyorinmaru has the power to control ice and water , i can use my enemy attacks to create more dragons." Hitsugaya explained to Kakashi as he has 10 ice dragons attack the silver-haired Shinobi.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall( 土遁・土流壁 Doton: Doryūheki) " Kakashi stated as he created a 10 foot wall that shield himself from Hitsugaya's ice dragons.

"Not bad however it's not enough!" Hitsugaya said to Kakashi while Kakashi takes cover beneath the earth wall and thinks of a strategy to beat Hitsugaya.

"That Zanpakuto he wields must be the source of his power. If i can destroy it, i can follow the rest of his movements with ease and i will have the edge in this fight." Kakashi said to himself.

"I see, he's using the Earth as a defense against my i haven't thrown away all other attacks." Hitsugaya said to himself as he goes to use another attack.

"That's it!" Kakashi though to himself as he then senses Hitsugaya's attack coming.

"Hadō # 72 Denji Kyanon(電磁キャノン Electromagnetic Cannon)" Hitsugaya shouted as he fires an electric blast like a cannon to blast through the earth .

"That was close!" Kakashi said to himself as he dodges the lightning blast which easily blast through the wall only to see Hitsugaya appears behind him using Shunpo to move at 1650 ft/sec (1,125 MPH) and points his blade to Kakashi.

"Now tell me where is the Kyuubi!" Hitsugaya said to Kakashi.

"Over my dead body you punk!" Kakashi replied.

"That would be easily arranged!" Hitsugaya responded as he stabs Kakashi in the neck and freezes his entire it turned out to be a lightning clone which shatters Hitsugaya's blade and severely damages his arms.

"You were too quick to act! " the real Kakashi said to Hitsugaya.

"How the hell ? I couldn't even sense you change in Chakra yet you pulled off this clone infused with Lightning to catch me off guard." Hitsugaya stated with shock.

"Too bad for you, i saw everything. I watched you perform that technique, the attacks you used was Ice nature . Ice is part of water and water is weak against Lightning, you got matched with the wrong guy." Kakashi stated as he uses another Jutsu. He uses Horse →,Tiger, Snake , Ram , Monkey → Boar →, Horse and → Tiger hand seals done in under 3 seconds .

"His handseal speed is so fast!" Hitsugaya said to himself.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu (火遁・豪火球の術Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu)" Kakashi shouted as he fires a massive orb of roaring flame 20 feet in diameter that causes a 400 foot radius dodges by taking to the air and using Eauōku(エアウォークAirwalk).

"Damn his attack was fast, no matter he can't walk on air, i'm at least safe from close range base attacks." Hitsugaya said to himself.

"Or are you?" Kakashi replied standing on the air like him pointing a blade to his neck.

"How did you ... ?" Hitsugaya asked only to be cut off mid sentence by Kakashi.

"Did you forget my Sharingan abilities already? Besides we have a technique similar to your air walk except we never really though of how it would work walking on the sky, it's called Suimen Hokō (水面歩行の業Water Walking)it's just a simple solidification of Chakra to the feet that allows us to walk upside down and on water." Kakashi explained to Hitsugaya as he goes for Hitsugaya's neck with the kunai but Hitsugaya blocks with the broken half of his blade.

"I still have this!" Hitsugaya stated as he hits Kakashi through the chest with the crescent blade chain but he sees it's another lighting clone and chain is destroyed. The Real Kakashi is walking on water and preforming a Jutsu.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu (水遁・水龍弾の術 Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu)" Kakashi chanted as a giant 100 foot long Water Dragon comes towards Hitsugaya and drags him 500 feet through the forest and creates a flood of water around 10 feet deep.

"What an immense amount of power!" Hitsugaya said to himself as he gets back up as the force of the water Jutsu produced 24.43 Tons of TNT as the floodwaters level a city block size portion of the forest.

"Hadō # 72 Denji Kyanon(電磁キャノン Electromagnetic Cannon) " Kakashi chanted as he fires an electrical blast into the large pool of water .

"ARRGH!" Hitsugaya shouted as he's shocked by the massive lightning blast.

"Looks like i defeated him!" Kakashi said to himself as he goes to check up on Hitsugaya with everything around Hitsugaya burned and dried up from the water and lightning combination.

"I got you!" Hitsugaya shouted as he reveals he escaped using a clone

"I hit a clone!" Hitsugaya stated shocked as he is slashed across the chest.

"Fooled ya didn't i?" Hitsugaya asked Kakashi as he regenerates his Shikai.

"Impossible, how did you get your sword back?" Kakashi asked shocked to see the Captain's sword reformed back to normal.

"Any Zanpakutō will slowly regenerate if it is broken however the thing with my Zanpakutō that it can regenerate as long as there is water nearby. As you can see water makes up for over 70 % of this planet, you can't defeat me simply by shattering my Zanpakutō." Hitsugaya explained to Kakashi.

"I see, very well then i will just have to end this already." Kakashi replied as his body starts to glow with bioelectricity and he starts to release strong force winds and the clouds darken around him and blue Chakra shoots up from his body as lightning strikes his body

"What the hell, he's manipulating the Lightning ? I can barely move my body, just how much power was he holding back?" Hitsugaya stated to himself.

"Hitsugaya, do you think i survived just copying Jutsu ? I'll show you the one Technique that can't be obtained by simply copying." Kakashi stated as he uses an Ox →, Rabbit → and Monkey hand sign to then focus an intense burst of Chakra that surrounds his entire body and condenses it to his right hand as Lightning surges around him.

"What a massive amount of lightning around his hand . Just the surge alone has stopped my body, move damn it , move." Hitsugaya said to himself as his body is virtually being paralyzed . Hitsugaya manages to move his hand on his Zanpakutō.

"You're future is death ! Chidori (千鳥One Thousand Birds)" Kakashi chanted as he dashes at 16500 ft/sec (11,250 MPH) using Shunshin.

"Bankai Daiguren Hyōrinmaru (大紅蓮 氷輪丸, Grand Crimson Lotus Ice Ring)! ..." Hitsugaya countered as he releases his Bankai and knocks back Kakashi and creates a massive lightning shockwave that electrifies everything within a 1,000 foot radius. The shockwave generates 207.4 Tons of TNT force which creates a 31 foot deep, 60 foot wide crater connected to a 5 foot wide fissure extending 1,000 feet.

Kakashi then sees that his right hand hit Hitsugaya's ice wings which protected him from the penetration , the attack was 19 mm for piercing his heart but his body took some damage from the attack. Kakashi's arm is burned from hitting Hitsugaya's ice wings. Hitsugaya's wings open up and release a pressure wave blowing back Kakashi 20 feet. Everything around Hitsugaya in the crater freezes instantly.

"That was too close for comfort . Just moving his wings nearly froze me." Kakashi said to himself holding his arms together to prevent freezing holding on to his badly burned arm.

"Da-Damn it...His blow almost pierced my heart. I'm at a disadvantage with my Bankai . However it looks like he's also at a disadvantage if that's his only lightning based Jutsu.." Hitsugaya stated to himself.

"You must be tough to survive a blow like that, so this is the power of a Bankai i heard about so much." Kakashi stated.

"So you heard about my Daiguren Hyorinmaru Kakashi? This is my true power Kakashi." Hitsugaya replied.

"I can't use my Lightning Blade without damaging my arm as well." Kakashi stated to himself.

"I'll use every bit of this power to crush you and force you to tell me where Naruto is at " Hitsugaya replied as he goes to charge at Kakashi but Kakashi dodges the sword strike and takes out a kunai knife to clash with Hitsugaya.

Hitsugaya and Kakashi clash attacks with each other. Kakashi channels his lightning Chakra within his kunai and holds back Hitsugaya's blade. They both release an intense burst of Reiatsu and Chakra that destroys everything within a 200 foot radius however Kakashi's kunai break from the stress of clashing power.

"Kunai are too fragile for this level of spiritual power, there's only so much they can take from such a high level of Chakra." Kakashi said to himself as he dodges a sword strike aimed at his neck.

Kakashi lands on the ground and dodges a ice dragon by a few inches and dodges 10 ice dragons surrounding Kakashi. Kakashi hops on them and uses it's platform. Hitsugaya shoots a large ice dragon from his Bankai which overpowers Kakashi and pushes him towards the ground and drags him back 50 feet but Kakashi counters with lightning blade with his left arm and destroys the ice dragon . Kakashi damages his left arm as he's notably exhausted from the attack.

"That was too close, he got both my arms this time. Trying to damage him with a close range attack while half his body is surrounded by ice isn't going to cut it, i must use that move." Kakashi thinks to himself.

"Do you still plan on fighting? You're body is at it's limit, it can't handle all the damage it did to your arms. I have crippled your ability to do Ninjutsu and Kidō based attack." Hitsugaya stated.

"Then i would go with Taijutsu!" Kakashi replied.

"You fool, do you realize it won't work ? No matter how powerful you are or skilled you are in Taijutsu, ice covers most of my body . You will only damage your arms even further." Hitsugaya stated.

"Well then let's see how well you can keep up with my speed." Kakashi replied.

"Quit bluffing, you and i are the exact same speed however with both your arms damaged, you can't keep up with my range attacks." Hitsugaya explained to Kakashi as he launches more dragons at Kakashi which Kakashi barely dodges.

"He's right with my arms damaged and our speed on par, i got to find another trick around him." Kakashi said to himself as Hitsugaya dashes towards Kakashi and attacks him with a sword strike hitting Kakashi and cutting him in half but it was a clone.

"What!" Hitusgaya stated with shock .

"Gate of Opening (開門, Kaimon)" Kakashi chanted as his glows with white Chakra.

"So he's increased his power , but his power hasn't increased his power as much as i taking him too lightly will cost me my life. For now..." Hitsugaya stated to himself putting his guard up as Kakashi then dashes at 33,000 ft/sec (22,500 MPH)

"Raikiri (雷切 Lightning Blade)" Kakashi chanted as he dashes before Hitsugaya notices and hits him through his chest with a concentrated surge of lightning coming out of Hitsugaya's back.

"What..." Hitsugaya shouted shocked as his pupils disappear and all life leave his eyes and blood pours out his chest, blood covers his face.

"Looks like you're too slow .. you're already dead." Kakashi stated but he notices he can't get his arm out of the body. Then Hitsugaya comes to attack him with Ryusenka.

"You left your guard down Kakashi ! Ryūsenka(竜霰花, Dragon Hail Flower)" Hitsugaya chanted as it's revealed that Kakashi actually hit an ice clone instead of the real Hitsugaya..

"ARRGH!" Kakashi shouted as he is then stabbed through the chest and covered in ice .

"What you hit was a clone!" Hitsugaya said to the silver-haired Shinobi

"I see so you had a trick up your sleeve?" Kakashi asked the Captain.

"I didn't expect your attack speed and power to increase so dramatically, i'm glad i told precautions however you haven't heave my warning." Hitsugaya stated.

"So you had your own elemental clone?" Kakashi questioned Hitsugaya.

"A trick like that only works once. I concentrate and shape a large amount of ice into my exact likeness. It is very life-like as it can appear to bleed. I always keep one as a last resort after activating my Bankai. You took my prowess lightly and for that you're dead." Hitsugaya explained to Kakashi.

"I should've expected that the guy who defeated Gaara of the sands had impressive evasive skills. But it won't be enough." Kakashi replied as his body surges with lightning despite being stabbed through the chest.

"What?" Hitusgaya asked shocked to see he hit another clone.

"Lightning Style :Shadōw Clone Explosion (雷遁影分身 分身大爆破 Raiton Bunshin Daibakuha)" Kakashi chanted as it's revealed Hitsugaya stabbed a clone of Kakashi made of lightning as the clone explodes and destroys everything within a 500 foot radius.

The blast creates a large crater in the ground. Hitsugaya barely dodged the attack and flies up to the air to avoid the explosion last second but then Kakashi leaps in front of him and kicks him in the face and grabs him from behind.

"Damn it!" Hitsugaya shouted as he struggles to break out of Kakashi's grip.

"You might of damaged my arms to the point i can't do Ninjutsu or Genjutsu but a Shinobi always has Taijutsu and his legs . You've depend too much on that sword! Primary Lotus (表蓮華 Omote Renge)" Kakashi chanted as he spins around and does a corkscrew piledriver on Hitsugaya.

The attack creates a 104 foot diameter, 28 foot deep crater producing 134 Tons of TNT in striking force . Kakashi lands down with his Chakra notably exhausted. Hitsugaya manages to get back up shielding himself with ice.

"What? His body seems to be breaking down right now." Hitsugaya stated with blood dripping down his head.

"This kid has figured out the weakness of the Hidden Eight Gates. This is bad." Kakashi said to himself panting as he is out of breath.

"You're technique seems to have a limit to it , it increases your power briefly while damaging your body." Hitsugaya said to Kakashi.

"Damn looks like you figured it out!" Kakashi stated.

"Looks like it's time i bury you once and for all." Hitsugaya replied while Kakashi can barely move. Hitsugaya sends an ice dragon which pushes back Kakashi and throws him into a hill. Hitsugaya fires a bunch of ice projectiles at him.

"My body has token too much of beating, if this continues, i will die ." Kakashi said to himself as he dodges the attack. Kakashi dodges the attack and charges up a Lightning Blade however Hitsugaya charges at him.

"You're technique wore off, now you were just as strong as you were before. Time to end this!" Kakashi stated as he dashes towards Kakashi.

"Raikiri (雷切 Lightning Blade)" Kakashi chanted dashes with lightning surging with his right hand forming a 3 foot sword like form of Chakra in his hands.

"Ryūsenka(竜霰花, Dragon Hail Flower) " Hitsugaya countered as he charges to attack Kakashi with a two hand strike. The attacks collide a massive explosion that destroys everything within a 200 foot radius and level anything nearby . Hitsugaya's sword is overpowered as the right hand goes through the blade and pierces Hitsugaya's heart.

"Gotcha!" Kakashi stated.

"What impossible ? You not only went through my sword but through my Ice wings too ? The penetrating power is greater but how? You're Chakra level should be weaker." Hitsugaya shouted shocked as Kakashi's hand pierces through the ice wings with 3 foot long concentrated surge of lightning coming out of his back.

"It's simple, the attack i hit your wings earlier was Chidori. Raikiri (雷切 Lightning Blade)is an enhanced and concentrated form Chidori that is 5 times more powerful . It's a S-rank technique. No matter how powerful you are Captain, you can't survive this." Kakashi explained to Hitsugaya but he sees he hit another Ice Clone .

"Gotcha again!" Hitsugaya smirked as he dodges the attack.

"What?" Kakashi shouted as he looks in shock as his arm takes serious damage on his right arm and it's trapped in ice.

"I got you, by the way i lied about not being able to use this clone once. Haven't you heard about deception? You might be able to generate Lightning around you hands but i can manipulate the water in the atmosphere." Hitsugaya explained to Kakashi as he surrounds the sliver haired Shinobi by many ice pillars which encircle him.

"Crap!" Kakashi shouted.

"Sennen Hyōrō (千年氷牢,Thousand Years Ice Prison)" Hitsugaya chanted as he commands the pillars to spin around 90 degrees counter-clockwise, these pillars then move towards Kakashi and crush Kakashi.


100 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Naruto and his 999 clones stand around the 74 foot diameter, 20 foot deep crater caused by Naruto's Rasengan which produced the striking force of 41.7 Tons of TNT . Byakuya gets back up with a cracked shield around him and his left arm is bleeding.

"That kid is much more powerful than i thought. Had not for Bakudō # 81 Danku(斷空,Splitting Void) i would of been dead from the attack. Even then he was able to crack the shield." Byakuya said to himself as he gets back up to fight again and walks out of the crater.

"What the hell ! how are you standing after that attack?" Naruto asked Byakuya.

"You're far more powerful than i though. However your power is nothing compared to my power." Byakuya answered .

"Really? Last time i checked , i kicked you ass so go ahead and bring it." Naruto stated.

"Before i show you the gap in power, please explain that technique you used?" Byakuya asked Naruto as he reforms his Shikai to a sealed sword.

"Very well then, Rasengan (螺旋丸Spiralling Sphere) does not require any hand seals to use, relying only on the Chakra control of the user . The compacted nature and moving speed of my Chakra allows the Rasengan to grind into whatever it comes in contact with to inflict major damage Now tell me where Gaara is at or my army of clones would hit you down 1,000 times over with that same move." Naruto explained to Byakuya.

"What arrogance, as if i would comply with the enemy of the Soul Society. It's time for me show you my true power before you get arrogant." Byakuya replied as he drops his sword into the ground .

"He let go of his sword?" Naruto said to himself with shock.

"Don't worry. This would be over quick!" Byakuya said to Naruto as the sword phases into the ground, as though it were a pool of water. Energy ripples expand out, turning the surrounding area dark, and within seconds, two rows of a thousand giant blades rise up from the ground.

"Whoa, that's alot of swords!" Naruto said to himself.

"Bankai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (千本桜景厳, Vibrant Display of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms)" Byakuya chanted as he scatters the blades into millions of fragments . Naruto can't see the movements of those blades. All the Naruto clones around Naruto are instantly wiped out by the attack.

"What the hell? He wiped out all my shadōw clones with ease." Naruto stated to himself.

"You see when a Captain releases Bankai, there power is multiplied tenfold. Now witness your worse nightmare." Byakuya explained to Naruto as he sends a wave of tendrils at Naruto.

"Those blades , there moving alot like Gaara's sand." Naruto said to himself as he barely dodges the attacks.

"Rasengan (螺旋丸Spiralling Sphere)" Naruto chanted as he uses his Rasengan to attack Byakuya, but its blocked by Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.

"You think you would be able to hit me with that attack again? How pathetic." Byakuya stated as he effortlessly sends several more tendrils at crushes him into the ground.

"It's over kid, there are millions of blades in this attack. Your power is greater than expected, however your attacks are far too broad and can never evade the assault of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi." Byakuya said as Naruto is crushed by 3 tendrils.

"ARRGH!" Naruto shouted as he's drilled into the ground and seemingly knocked out.

Byakuya stops the attack with the combined assault of his Senbonzakura . Naruto lies within a 62 foot diameter ,17 foot deep crater with each tendril from Byakuya's tendrils generating 22.83 Tons of TNT with the combination of 3 tendrils doing a total of 68.5 Tons of TNT.

"Looks like he's out cold. Any more force and he'll be dead. Time to call Captain Hitsugaya." Byakuya stated as he picks up his phone.


10 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Kakashi is trapped within a massive prison of ice 200 feet wide, long and high . Kakashi is holding back the pillars within two earth walls horizontally holding back the walls by 5 feet.

"I don't have much time before i freeze to death here, i must escape out of here but even if i do escape there's his Lightning Blade at this point is useless, he would block it with his ice wings which he can regenerate and i would take more damage to my arm if the water melts off into my hand while using yet is that his power extends all ranges so relying on Lightning Blade is out of the question, there's only one way to win this battle." Kakashi said to himself as he grabs a scroll out his bag and pulls out a scroll and summons something out of it.

Meanwhile Hitsugaya gets a call from Byakuya about the Kyuubi.

"Hitsugaya i have secured the Kyuubi , please come by to retrieve him." Byakuya said to Hitsugaya.

"Good, i just finished beating the Captain accompanying him. Where is your position?" Hitsugaya asked.

"90 miles north of your position!" Byakuya answered.

"Very well then bring him here!" Hitsugaya stated but the phone signal jams on him .

" ... " the phone emits a static sound as Hitsugaya loses contact with Byakuya.

"Byakuya ...Byakuya are you there!" Hitsugaya asked only to see lightning surge out of the ice and then burst out of the ice.

"Phew, that was too close for comfort!" Kakashi said to himself.

"What the hell... impossible ! How did he survived that attack?" Hitsugaya said to himself as he draws his sword but before he can react, his right wing is cut by Kakashi wielding a 2 foot long Tantō covered with lightning surging around it and gave off a distinct white glow from it.

"Looks like this blade is sharper than ever!" Kakashi said to himself.

"What the hell? When did he have a Zanpakutō with him? His power however hasn't increased at all though." Hitsugaya stated to himself as he draws his sword but Kakashi clashes with his sword. The lightning surges around the blade damaging and shattering Hitsugaya's Bankai.

"I never though i have to use this, apparently your too dangerous to take on with just copied techniques, i guess i must use my own to fight you Toshiro Hitsugaya." Kakashi said to Hitsugaya as he generates white lightning onto his sword creating a lightning surge around his sword and body. His Chakra takes the form of a wolf.

"What is that?" Hitsugaya asked shocked to see Kakashi's blade .

"The Hakkō Chakura Tō (白光チャクラ刀White Light Chakra Sabre)" Kakashi chanted as the blade surge with electricity.

"Hakkō Chakura Tō?" Hitsugaya asked with shock.

"It was destroyed a while ago, i fixed it in case i were to fight a Akatsuki, this weapon was passed down by my father to use. I would ordinarily use my lightning blade but that will be too dangerous considering my failed attempts before. You say Zanpakutō s are the extension of one's power huh? Well consider this my Zanpakutō." Kakashi explained to silver-haired Captain as he charges at Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya reforms his blade and clashes with Kakashi's blade which negates the ice.

"Damn it, your blade is behaving more like a Zanpakutō , how is this possible?" Hitsugaya asked.

"I based that on your Daiguren Hyōrinmaru stances that my Sharingan copied." Kakashi answered as white Chakra covers his body.

"Impossible ! You can't copy my movements!" Hitsugaya stated as he swings his sword to create an ice dragon but Kakashi counters by moving his sword in the same arc as Hitsugaya creating a Chakra slash.

"What? How can you copy my attacks?" Hitsugaya asked.

"I can't, however while i can't use your abilities i can mimic the exact Chakra flow within your sword and your sword stances needed to preform your techniques." Kakashi explained to Hitsugaya.

"I thought you can't copy Zanpakutō attacks!" Hitsugaya stated.

"I can't use them but i can memorized the stances and fighting styles of them so i can counter then. I still can't use your ice based Jutsu however with the ability to track your movements, it should do just fine." Kakashi explained to Hitsugaya as he dashes towards Hitsugaya.


Back at the land of Rivers Caverns

Rukia sees Sakura dead on the floor from the powerful Hadō 73 blast which destroyed 1/4 of the blast generated 15.19 tons of TNT,nearly the equivalent of a Davy Crockett tactical nuclear device. Byakuya arrives with Naruto on his back from the massive hole that she left in a cave.

"Brother, you captured the Ninetails?" Rukia asked.

"It was a piece of cake given the guy was merely a lowly Genin." Byakuya answered.

"So what to do now?" Rukia asked.

"To put an end to you!" Byakuya replied.

"What?" Rukia asked with a shocked look on her face .

"Did i stutter Rukia? You're going to die here!" Byakuya answered.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Rukia questioned her brother as she draws her sword.

"You're going to die sister ! Bankai:Senbonzakura Kageyoshi ." Byakuya chanted as he scatters his blades and they cut up Rukia. Rukia takes a cut to her chest, her left arm , her right arm, her left cheek and her robe. She is reduced to bloody mess.

"This man isn't nii sama, but how i'm getting hurt?" Rukia asked as he then sees Byakuya unmask himself as Sakura.

"I got you good didn't i?" Sakura answered with a question.

"You! So this is you're doing, how are you posing as my brother? What kind of trickery did you use? How did you survive that last attack? " Rukia asked.

"You simply hit a Genjutsu created clone of myself and took the bait. When you when with that double Jutsu attack, i broke out of your Bakudō # 61 attack, i created a substitution clone containing a special kind of poison mist to activate the Genjutsu." Sakura explained to Rukia while wearing Byakuya's robe.

"Genjutsu?" Rukia asked as she goes to attack Sakura but she hits an illusion while the real one appears behind her and kicks her around.

"Genjutsu (幻術 Illusionary Techniques) are techniques that are employed in the same fashion as Ninjutsu, requiring Chakra and hand seals. However the difference is that Genjutsu techniques manipulate the flow of Chakra in the victim's brain, thus causing a disruption in their senses." Sakura explained to the Lieutenant as Rukia uses her Shikai attacks to counter a dashing strike but she's cut from behind by the real Sakura.

"Damn it! " Rukia said.

"It's useless, all your senses have been thrown off balance. I send my Chakra into you and threw off all five of your senses . I have complete control over what you can't even see me correctly even though i'm right in front of you." Sakura explained to Rukia while in front of her. Rukia tries to cut Sakura in half but she cuts another illusion .

"Another illusion?" Rukia shouted.

"You can say that, however it affects your depth perception as well, you can't fight anymore." Sakura said to Rukia as she throws a kunai at Rukia but Rukia knocks it away but it was an illusion and she's hit in the chest by the real kunai.

"Damn it!" Rukia replied.

"Now time to end this already!" Sakura stated as she summons a 50 foot version of herself surrounded with Pink Chakra.

"A giant?" Rukia asked shocked to see the giant Sakura .

"DIE BITCH!" said the inner Sakura as she goes to punch Rukia but her fist is stopped by a sudden burst of Ice Reiatsu from Rukia.

Out of the burst is a beautiful Yuki-onna dressed in white and light blue clothes. She has long, pale lavender hair tied into a partial bun in the back that is clipped at the left side of her head at the front, while on the right it hangs loose and is cut somewhat shorter, pale skin and dark blue eyes. She wears a Furisode kimono with a large pale purple bow in the back attached to a pale yellow top part of her clothing has long sleeves that reach the ground, and the bottom part is also long and covers her feet.

"What the hell? What the hell is that woman?" Sakura asked staring at her.

"Sode no Shirayuki?" Rukia said to the white skinned woman.

"Master, if you've lost control of your senses, i shall become your eyes and fight for you, i will lend you more of my power." Sode no Shirayuki replied as she vanishes undoing the Genjutsu and Rukia's blade glows with an intense snow-white Reiatsu.

"No way , she negated my Genjutsu but how and what was that woman i saw?" Sakura said to herself.

"This surge in my Reiatsu, could it be that i'm one step closer to achieving Bankai? I can barely control this overwhelming power. Has she pushed me beyond my own limits that even Sode no Shirayuki is lending her powers to me." Rukia said to herself as everything around her freezes.

"This woman, just what is she ? How can she be this powerful ? No matter i must end this in one blow." Sakura said to herself as the charge towards each other.

"With this power, i can't lose!" Rukia said to herself as she comes towards Sakura.

"Senkei Senkō (千計穿孔 1000 Meter Punch)" Sakura chanted as she comes towards Rukia.

"Shingetsu Odori Tsurarayari ( 新月踊り氷柱槍 Crescent Dance ,Icicle Lance)" Rukia countered with turning her sword into a lance like Icicle after spinning it and twirl it in her right hands as it glows and turns into a long lance.

Both attacks collide and create a massive 1,000 foot radius explosion that destroys the entire cave.


30 miles east of the Land of Rivers Land of Wind border.

Renji rushes to aid Rukia when he gets a shocking reading on his phone.

"What, there was just two clashes of power , both numbering at 16,000 RYK . Has Rukia learned Bankai ? That Reiatsu signature is no doubt hers." Renji said to himself when he gets a call from Byakuya about the Kyuubi.

"I have captured the Kyuubi!" Byakuya said to Renji .

"You did? Crap that means Rangiku and her team is walking into an ambush Rukia and Hitsugaya are also in trouble however Rukia has shown to be near Captain level." Renji explained to Byakuya .

"What do you mean?" Byakuya asked.

"She just released 16,000 RYK." Renji answered.

"You're kidding right? Crap you're right!" Byakuya stated with shock.

"Don't worry Captain Kuchiki i'll... " Renji replied but before Renji can finish the call, the phone is hit out of his hand with a kunai attached to a paper bomb which is blown up and destroyed. Renji dodges the explosion.

"Damn, i missed!" Temari said to herself.

"Damn it, Rangiku is going to kill me if she found out her Denreishinki was destroyed." Renji said to himself.

"So he really is a Shinigmai?" Bull said to himself.

"Alright show yourself , there is no use hiding." Renji stated looking for the attacker.

"I found you Shinigami ! Huh just a lowly Lieutenant, this is what you led me to?" Temari stated with arrogance.

"That's where the scent came from!" Bull stated.

"Head out to meet Kakashi and his team!" Temari replied.

"Lowly, you have some nerve calling me lowly Human." Renji shouted .

"Still i suppose if i capture you , then that Captain would have no choice but to save you." Temari stated.

"You're foolish to challenge a Lieutenant head on woman . You're going to pay for destroying my Denreishinki." Renji replied as he swings his sealed sword at Temari but Temari easily catches the blade.

"I don't know who you guys think you are but you will pay for hurting my brothers." Temari replied.

"Impossible, how did you grab my blade barehanded? What rank are you?" Renji asked.

"Jōunin Kunoichi of Sunakagure and one of the three Sand Siblings Temari, you guys will pay for what you did to Gaara." Temari replied as she goes for a kunai knife and goes to kill Renji but Renji moves the sword out of Temari's hand and blocks her kunai with a two-handed sword strike.

"Jōunin, crap i'm in trouble!" Renji said to himself.


100 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Byakuya tries to call Renji and Hitsugaya but gets no response.

"Damn they're not picking up there Denreishinkis , what's going on?" Byakuya said to himself

Suddenly Naruto bust out the ground and creates an energy wave that causes Byakuya 's hand to get cut . Naruto emerges with red eyes and a blue energy cloak around red eyes disappear then he's engulfed within a dense Chakra that shoots up from the crater.

"What the ... ? Impossible! He's getting back up after a beating like that . He's as stubborn as Ichigo Kurosaki and not since Ichigo have i felt such an immense spiritual power." Byakuya said to himself as Naruto appears in front of him moving at 6416.7 ft/sec(4,375 MPH) and punches Byakuya in the face. Byakuya is sent flying 20 feet away.

"Now tell me where the hell is Gaara?" Naruto shouted .

"What's going on, i was fully released without a limiter yet for an instant i lost all sight of his movements. Impossible he still hasn't transformed yet, i'm starting to think i got an impostor posing as a Genin .There's no way a Genin could be this strong." Byakuya said to himself.

"Tell me where Gaara is at!" Naruto demanded.

"You would regret sparing me when you caught me off guard. A miracle only happens once, your luck has ran out boy." Byakuya arrogantly stated as he sends a large tendril at Naruto but Naruto dodges the tendril and is then surrounded by a wave of blades.

"Rasengan" Naruto chanted as he goes to hit Byakuya but is cut apart by the tendrils but it turns out to be a clone. The Real Naruto appears behind him and attacks Byakuya using a kunai, Byakuya blocks it with his blade shield but Naruto somersaults behind Byakuya .

"How is he able to move so fast?" Byakuya asked himself as he sends 2 tendrils at Naruto but he dodges the attacks. He then appears towards Byakuya .

"Multi Shadōw Clone Jutsu (多重影分身の術 Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu)" Naruto chanted as he summons 100 clones of himself to attack, all of them dashing at 6416.7 ft/sec(4,375 MPH).

"Bastard , this kid is sickening as annoying as Ichigo." Byakuya said to himself as he tries to fight Naruto.

"What's wrong, am i moving too fast for you?" Naruto asked with arrogance.

"Don't get arrogant , it might cost you!" Byakuya replied as his Bankai tendrils barely keeps up with the Naruto clones. He then uses both his hands to attack Ichigo. He moves his hands left to hit one Naruto clone. He moves them around only hitting the clones.

"His attack speed has doubled!" Naruto stated to himself.

"Using the palm of my hands, my strength and power has doubled." Byakuya stated as he forces Naruto back and wipes out 80 of his clones creating a crater twice as big as the one before.

"He's gotten alot stronger!" Naruto said to himself .

"There's nothing my Bankai can't catch! Nothing!" Byakuya stated to himself as he goes for the kill but Naruto manages to have 20 of his clones overpower the Bankai attacks and the real Naruto uses his Chakra to deflect all the blades after him.

"That's not enough!" Naruto said to Byakuya as he dashes towards the Squad 6 Captain.

"Impossible, he blasted through all of them." Byakuya stated to himself before he knows it he sees Naruto behind him with Rasengan but he holds it back last second as it's revealed to be a clone and the real one punches him in the face and points a kunai towards his neck moving at 12833.4 ft/sec (8750 MPH ).

"My luck has ran out huh? So what do you call this? Now tell me where's Gaara?" Naruto demanded.


10 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

The forest is on fire and at the same time buried under 5 feet of snow and ice . Kakashi and Hitsugaya clash their swords together, creating a 100 foot shock wave with each clashing blow. Kakashi comes at Hitsugaya's face with a lunging blow charged up with electricity but Hitsugaya manages to use Shunpo to escape. He clashes with Kakashi again, both of them using both hands to hold their blades and clash attacks with each other. Hitsugaya uses a drop kick to push Kakashi off him and goes for a vertical strike but Kakashi blocks the attack and both are holding each other back with their blades.

"Not bad Kakashi! You better come at me with all your might! Sharingan Kakashi!" Hitsugaya stated.

"Unfortunately i'm not the hot-blooded type!" Kakashi replied as he uses Chidori to aim at Hitsugaya's head but the Squad 10 Captain dodges by jumping 50 feet high and jumps one the water.

"Hyōryū Senbi (氷竜旋尾, Ice Dragon Swirling Tail)" Hitsugaya chanted as he swings his sword in a linear direction and creates overflowing ice from his blade in the form of a crescent wave at Kakashi .

"You need something less predictable than that." Kakashi said Hitsugaya only to see the ice come upward.

"Zekku (絶空, Void Sever)" Hitsugaya chanted as he lifts his sword to control his Hyouryū Senbi technique and send it up into the air. Kakashi dodges the attack only to see spikes come from the water, Kakashi dodging the spikes as well as the ice blast.

"So this is the power that Beat Gaara? This seems too easy? That kid is hiding alot more power?" Kakashi said to himself as he dodges the spikes.

"He's better than i thought!" Hitsugaya said to himself .

"Ninja Art: Lightning Shuriken SHadōw Clone Jutsu ( 雷切手裏剣影分身の術 Raikiri Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu) " Kakashi chanted as he shoots 50 shuriken at Hitsugaya . Hitsugaya blocks the attack with and ice shield but the shuriken rip through the shield and hit it's another ice clone.

"Damn, that was the third time he forced me to use and ice clone. I was never pushed this far in my entire." Hitsugaya stated to himself as he sees Kakashi over 300 feet in the air.

"I got you now!" Kakashi said to Hitsugaya as he goes to attack the Captain.

"Guncho Tsurara (群鳥氷柱, Icicle Flock)" Hitsugaya chanted as he transforms the water around him into ice and then swings his Zanpakutō in an arc to fire an array of 50 ice daggers at his target but Kakashi manages to cut them into pieces with his Tantō with 10 hitting him but it was a clone.

"I'm fed up, i got to end this fast!" Kakashi stated.

"Time to fight for real!" Hitsugaya replied as he summons 3 50 foot long ice dragons but the white-haired Shinobi dodges the two dragons.

"He can turn anything around him into ice . In other worlds Water style, Fire style , Wood and Wind styles have no effect . However Lightning and Earth would..." Kakashi said to himself as the dragons hit him but he uses his Lightning covered sword to destroy the dragons.

"Gotcha!" Hitsugaya said to the Shinobi as he hits Kakashi from behind with ice covering his left hand.

"I can't move!" Kakashi shouted as he struggles to move. Hitsugaya stabs him from behind with his Bankai after using Shunpo to move at 16,500 ft/sec (11,250 MPH) causing Kakashi to fall into the water with a stab wound in the back.

"Too bad, Kakashi . For all the talk you stated your Sharingan isn't much against a Bankai user. Well now playtime is over." Hitsugaya said to himself as he has Kakashi surrounded by 3 ice dragons.

"Dokugiri (毒霧 Ninja Art: Poison Fog ) " Kakashi chanted as he spits out a poisonous gas that paralyzes Hitsugaya.

"What the hell?" Hitsugaya asked shocked to see himself unable to move.

"This poison Jutsu i copied from Shizune lacks the same lethal potency as her poison. Her poison could easily kill this kid and myself in just a single should buy myself some time." Kakashi stated to himself.

"Crap i have been poisoned by this Jōunin." Hitsugaya said to himself as he struggles to move his body he manages to move his body and take out a pill.

"You see All ANBU and former ANBU members are trained to be master swordsmen and also trained to know detailed knowledge of the human body, I figured out your weakness to your Bankai. You're Bankai gives you an incredible amount of power but it's power strains your petals on your back show how long you can last with Bankai. These petals melt away petal by petal as the battle progresses. Your Bankai will fade when all twelve petals disappear. Your Bankai is still immature much like Naruto's powers." Kakashi explained to Hitsugaya as the silver-haired Captain notices he lost 6 of his petals.

"Damn, how long have i been fighting him? Half my petals have disappeared already." Hitsugaya said to himself.

"Now i'm going to get some intel on you ! Time Reversal Jutsu (時逆の術 Jigyaku no Jutsu)" Kakashi chanted as he puts Hitsugaya under an it's a clone.

"Bakudō # 50 Jūfuku ( 重複Duplication)" Hitsugaya shouted as he reveals Kakashi used Genjutsu on the clone.

"How were you able to counter Genjutsu? You shouldn't be able to move with poison!" Kakashi asked .

"I used a rejuvenation pill to restore my stamina and negated most of my poison." Hitsugaya replied.

"Very well then!" Kakashi responded as he goes to fight Hitsugaya again by throwing exploding tags at Hitsugaya but Hitsugaya hits then back with his Zanpakutō.

Hitsugaya jumps in the air . Kakashi throws a paper bomb attached to a kunai to explode on blocks with his ice wings he then sees a 50 foot ice dragon towards Kakashi, Kakashi runs across the lake and goes up a 500 foot hill to block the attack with Chidori with his left appears behind him with a dashing strike. Kakashi blocks with his Tantō and they go back 20 feet from each other.

"To think a human could hold their own with a Bankai using such a small-sword, this guy is no joke." Hitsugaya said to himself.

"We're too evenly matched , i need to find a way to finish him fast." Kakashi said to himself as he charges up his sword with White lightning.

"I must put an end to this and meet up with Byakuya." Hitsugaya stated as his sword glows with a light blue ice aura.

"Mikazuki no Mai (三日月の舞 Leaf Style: Crescent Moon Dance )" Kakashi chanted as he creates three shadōw clones, and each one of them assaults Hitsugaya from blind spot.

Hitsugaya manages to block a jump strike from the first clone but barely blocks a second strike from the second Kakashi and the third one comes at Hitsugaya from behind with a lunging struggles to defend against the attack.

"Damn those clones, are they clones or illusions?" Hitsugaya said to himself as he struggles to block the sword strikes and is cut from behind with a gash on his Captains robe. He blocks a two-handed vertical slash from the Kakashi from behind and cuts him in half.

"Yōgeki # 1 Musei Kubishite (無声首してSilent Neck Flash)" Kakashi shouted as he flash steps behind Hitsugaya moving at 7333.3ft/sec(5000 MPH) Hitsugaya blocks the blade barely by an inch before it hits his jugular vein. The blade cuts his left check near the eyes almost cutting Hitsugaya's left eye.

"That was a close one, it seemed he also copied my sword stances as well . Had that hit me,he would've killed me for sure." Hitsugaya stated to himself as he cuts the other clone in half but he sees Kakashi doing a sword dance.

"Yanagi (木ノ葉流柳 Leaf-Style Willow)" Kakashi chanted as he waves their sword back and forth, which when seen by Hitsugaya. it locks him in a Genjutsu which causes him to hallucinate multiple waving arms. The movement resembles that of a willow tree blowing in the wind.

"Damn a Genjutsu with a sword attack." Hitsugaya said to himself as he gains back his senses and sees Kakashi dashing at him, he blocks his sword but he sees it's an illusion and is cut from behind. He now is bleeding from his left and right check and has two gashes on his back.

"You dodged last second to avoid the fatal blow , had i hit you a few inches deeper, it would've been over." Kakashi stated.

"Time to end this! Hyōryū Senbi (氷竜旋尾, Ice Dragon Swirling Tail)" Hitsugaya chanted as he swings his sword releasing ice from it.

"Shinkūken ( 真空剣 Shock Blade)" Kakashi countered as he swings his sword with so much force that a gust of wind is released in the horizontal arc, canceling out the attack. The attack destroys all the trees within the hill. Hitsugaya lands back down.

"Take this!" Hitsugaya stated as he takes his blade and comes at Kakashi .

"Here he comes again!" Kakashi said to himself as he prepares to fight off Hitsugaya's attack.

"Yōgeki # 6 Hokkukyōju (ホックを享受Reaping Hook) " Hitsugaya chanted as he comes at Kakashi with a lunging strike then moves his blade upward and does a 45 degree horizontal slash, cutting Kakashi through the small and large intestines, piercing his heart and cuts him across the chest and slashing him across the chest opening up his ribcage but it turned out to be another clone.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu (火遁・鳳仙火の術 Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu)" Kakashi countered as he shoots volley of small fireballs sent flying in an unpredictable manner assaulting Hitsugaya . Hitsugaya dodges 10 of the fireballs aimed at him and uses Shunpo to dodge most of the 50 of the fireballs , Hitsugaya goes for an counter attack.

"Usugiri # 25 Junkan Āsukattā (循環アース·カッターCircular Earth Cutter)" Hitsugaya chanted as he aims a vertical slash at Kakashi's head but Kakashi ducks down to avoid it.

Hitsugaya then goes for a sweeping slash but Kakashi dodges the attack. Hitsugaya then leaps in the air and does a spinning crescent slash. Kakashi comes at Hitsugaya from behind with a kunai to his neck but then he sees the slashes cut apart the hill they were on top of. Kakashi tires to leap away but the slash area emits a powerful ice Reiatsu wave that freezes the silver-haired Shinobi's arms and cuts his chest.

"That was a close one!" Kakashi stated as he stands on top of the leveled hill.

"I got him on the ropes!" Hitsugaya said to himself as he dashes towards the Jōunin.

"Water Style: Giant Waterfall Vortex Jutsu (水遁・大瀑布の術 Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu)" Kakashi chanted as he shoots a massive wave of water against Hitsugaya .

"That weak attack can't stop me. Didn't i tell you water base attacks are useless against my Daiguren Hyōrinmaru?" Hitsugaya replied as he holds back the blast with his sword and he freezes the massive 50 foot high tidal wave that extended 2000 feet across the battlefield and uses a slash to negate the blast entirely.

The ground around the water has been hollowed out by 10 feet as everything is drenched and trees and rocks have been destroyed and uprooted with the Water Jutsu producing the energy equivalent of 156.70 Tons of TNT. Hitsugaya then sees Kakashi doing all 40 of the water dragon Jutsu signs in 5 seconds while Hitsugaya heals up all his wounds.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu (水遁・水龍弾の術 Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu)" Kakashi shouted as he catches Hitsugaya off guard. Kakashi creates a 500 foot high water dragon. Hitsugaya dashes in the air and stabs the water freezing it.

"Predictable fool , i told you that water Jutsus are useless against me." Hitsugaya said to Kakashi as he holds back the dragon,almost freezing it .

"Earth Style: Mud Silhouette (土遁・泥欲し Doton: Doro Hōshi)" Kakashi chanted as he summons a river of mud that flows up with the water dragon creating a Mud Dragon.

"Damn it, i can't freeze it!" Hitsugaya shouted as he's pushed back violently into the water as the mud covers the water. The impact shatters Hitsugaya's left femur and one of his ribs next to his liver as well as his left arm and carpal on his right arm.

"Looks like that took care of that guy!" Kakashi said to himself.

"Damn that blast almost killed me, i can barely hold my sword and i'm feeling immense pain on my right side of my abdomen and i can barely move my left leg." Hitsugaya said to himself as he struggles to swim back up only to see Kakashi high in the air .

"Raikiri Hakai (雷切 破壊 Lightning Blade Destruction)" Kakashi chanted as he uses one hand to create Lightning Blade and the right one to generate lightning on his sword. He then throws his sword into the ground and leaps out of the way. The blade hits the ground with Lightning Blade causing a destructive blast that destroys everything within a 2,000 foot radius.

"Shit! Bakudō # 55. Hikari Kabe (光壁Light Wall) " Hitsugaya countered as he summons a wondrous wall of light to shield from the attack, the attack pass him through and shatters the barrier. Kakashi then dashes behind him while he's holding back the blast to do a devastating attack.

"Mikka Tsukikage (三日月影Crescent Moon Shadōw)" Kakashi chanted as he does a lightning crescent slash the cuts Hitsugaya across the chest even though Hitsugaya dodges the blade by only a few inches as Kakashi goes for a crescent vertical and horizontal slash but the silver-haired Captain then grabs Kakashi with his tail.

"Got you! Kōriryū Ketsugō (竜尾結合 Ice Dragon Binding Tail)" Hitsugaya chanted uses his tail to bind Kakashi's arms and cover his body, the tail then forms four crescent-shaped ice blades to bind down Kakashi.

"What the hell?" Kakashi asked as he can't move his arms.

"Kōridama Keimusho( 氷球刑務所Ice Sphere Prison) " Hitsugaya chanted as he turns all the water he absorbed and all the water from Kakashi's waterfall Jutsu into a massive ice orb.

"What the hell?" Kakashi asked.

"Kōridama Keimusho( 氷球刑務所Ice Sphere Prison) anything that has come in contact with water vapor would be frozen within an ice prison that is powerful enough to freeze even the Reiatsu of the opponent, you water Jutsu gave me more than enough to trap you inside there." Hitsugaya explained to the silver-haired Shinobi.

"Damn it!" Kakashi replied as he tries to break out.

"Time to end this with one attack. Flying lightning dragon of the heavens, cleanse the world of the corrupt bear down thy wrath of the lightning gods." Hitsugaya chanted as he moves his left hand and then claps his hands together as his sword generates blue lightning from his Zanpakutō horizontally in front of him and spins it like a fan.

"I can't escape!" Kakashi shouted.

"Hadō #88. Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō( 飛竜撃賊震天雷砲 Flying Dragon-Striking Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon)" Hitsugaya chanted as he fires a massive lightning blast that goes into the air and forms a massive 300 foot winged European dragon. Kakashi breaks out of the ice prison .

"That's a new one!" Kakashi stated.

"Too late Kakashi!" Hitsugaya replied as the the dragon then dashes at Kakashi and creates a massive 3,000 foot radius explosion. The blast destroys all the trees within the forest.


20 miles south of the former Akatsuki hideout.

Rukia and Sakura stand within the ruins of the cavern. The cave was leveled from the attacks between Rukia and Sakura. The cave has been reduced to a ruins filled with water from a nearby river. Rukia and Sakura stand within the is holding on to her chest which has a deep hole nearly penetrating her heart. Sakura has been nearly pierced in the heart as well. Sakura and Rukia barely heal their wounds. Rukia and Sakura stand within a 89 foot diameter, 24 foot deep crater caused by the collision of attacks. The combined attacks generated 78.8 Tons of TNT with each of them producing 39.4 Tons of TNT striking force.

"I'm almost out of Chakra , i barely have enough to fight much less heal." Sakura stated to herself.

"My body took so much of a beating , i'm almost out of Reiatsu. I must make this the final blow." Rukia stated to herself.

"You're strong but let's end this already." Sakura stated.

"You're going to tell me where Naruto is at." Rukia stated.

"Never!" Sakura replied.

Rukia and Sakura go to fight each takes out her kunai and spins it like a fan and goes for a Chakra enhanced slash which Rukia blocks with her sword strike. Rukia counters with her own attack.

"Nadegiri # 13 . Chimei Shingetsu Chōritsu (致命新月調律 Deadly Crescent Rhythm )" Rukia chanted as she does a dashing horizontal strike moving at high speeds and creates a 180 degree sword arc wave that cuts a 100 foot rock in half as well as Sakura but it was a clone of Sakura.

"Hadō #53 . Rengoku( 煉獄 Purgatory)" Rukia chanted as she engulfs the Sakura in an intense fire but the pink haired Kunoichi jumps out and takes cover beneath a rock.

"That was close!" Sakura said to herself.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack me? Hadō # 9 . Mizugan Gazō( 水ガン画像Water Gun Shot )" Rukia chanted as she shoots a pressurized stream of water from the palm of her hand.

"What?" Sakura asked with shock as the water blast shoots through the 20 foot rock and comes at Sakura but the pink haired Kunoichi dodges the blast.

"Tsugi no mai, Hakuren." Rukia chanted as she shoots another blast towards Sakura but Sakura dodges the blast.

"Damn, that was also too close for comfort." Sakura said to herself.

"Face it Sakura! No matter how strong you are , you have no long-range attacks." Rukia said to Sakura.

"You're wrong, here's my long-range attack." Sakura said to Rukia as she throws 100 poison senbon at Rukia but Rukia cuts then with ease.

"Is that all you got? Time to attack Some no mai,..."Rukia laughed as she is about to attack Sakura.

"No, this is!" Sakura replied as she throws a paper bomb with an exploding tag that explodes near her face releasing a smokescreen.

"I can't see!" Rukia shouted.

"Yuki Sakura no Dansu (雪桜のダンス Snow Cherry Blossom Dance)" Sakura chanted as she throws 3 scrolls that burst into hundreds of paper bombs and they all exploded creating a massive 100 foot radius explosion. Rukia blocks the blast with her Reiatsu but her robe is virtually gone and her body mildly burned from the attack.

"What an explosion, so she had a few tricks up her sleeves?" Rukia said to herself as the smoke clears up.

"Here i come!" Sakura shouted as she uses Shunshin and grabs the white ribbon forms from the pommel and swings around Rukia. And pulls her towards her fist.

"What power!" Rukia stated with shock as she's unable to move.

"Senkei Senkō (千計穿孔 1,000 Meter Punch)" Sakura chanted as she punches Rukia with such amazing force that her Shikai shatters in one hit and she's sent flying into a rock formation.

"Every bone in my body was broken by that one punch." Rukia said to herself as she struggles to get back up.

She is 3,300 feet away from Sakura with a fissure expanding 3,300 feet long and growing 1 foot deep and wide every 22 feet away from the crater. Both her arms and legs and 3 ribs have been broken She is covered with blood and coughs it up and gets back up. Her Shihakushō has been reduced to a torn miniskirt and her bra has been exposed, blood runs down her head as her body is covered in dirt.

Meanwhile Sakura stands at the crater trying to recover from Chakra exhaustion.

"Damn , i'm at my limit!" Sakura said to herself.

"Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Hadō #73. Sōren Sōkatsui (双蓮蒼火墜, Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down)" Rukia shouted as she fires the blast at Sakura who is off guard. The blast travels through the fissure.

"Shit!" Sakura stated as the blast hits her and burns off most of her clothes and gives her body severe burns.

The skin on Sakura's arms is almost completely burned away and her the left side of her face is mildly burned. The crater here the cave is at is completely covered with smoke. Sakura however still dashes towards Rukia.

"She can still move, crap ..I'm all out of Reiastu." Rukia said to herself as Sakura goes for a finishing punch but Rukia reforges her Zanpakutō with ice particles piercing through Sakura.

"ARRGH!" Sakura shouted as she seemingly dies from the attack.

"What just happened ? Is this the same attack that killed Kaien?" Rukia asked her Zanpakutō spirit.

"I lend you this power to save you back when you were nearly killed by Kaien 40 years ago. Had not for this hidden power, you would've died back then." Sode no Shirayuki answered as Rukia thinks back to her past.

40 years ago

Rukia's POV

I remeber that awful day, Kaien had been killed by a body processing Hollow. The Hollow attempted to attack me, but Ukitake, blocking it, sent me away as he fought it. Afraid to fight it, i ob"!eyed, but i came back wishing to help Kaien.

"YOU'RE NOT KAIEN ANYMORE!" I shouted as i stabbed Kaien with my Zanpakutō.

"Sorry i dragged you into this Rukia...my stubborness caused you to you, my heart can still stay here."Kaien said to me as he said his last words before dying.

Present Day

3rd person POV

"You suppressed your power for 40 years, Kaien's death made you decline in your training. You became distant from your friends, you even attempted suicide several times out of the guilt you had for killing Kaien. What kept you alive is your friends and your friendship with Ichigo. The move you used to kill your opponent was San no mai, Shirafune (参の舞・白刀, Third Dance, White Sword), a technique that reforms your blade and makes it much shraper than normal." Sode no Shirayuki said to Rukia.

"Thanks for your help , there's no way she's still alive from that stab."Rukia repiled as she looks at her opponent who has a sword going through her heart and through her back.

"Tsunade said for me not to use this Jutsu unti i have enough Charka, however i have no other choice... If i don't...i'll die." Sakura said to herself as she charges up what's left of her Charka.

2 years ago

Sakura's POV

i remember raining with Lady Tsunade to become stronger. In reality i was the weakest of my generation and was constantly being saved and protected by Naruto and Sasuke. I wanted to fight to protect them the way i protect Sasuke and Naruto. Lady Tsunade told me that i reminded her of her younger cousin who passed away when the Kyuubi destoryed Konoha 16 years ago who was a powerful member of the ANBU and like me at her age was weak and lacked any Jutsu skills and fell behind her firends and stated had the Kyuubi not killed her , she would've been the Fifth Hokage. It was several months into the training i learned more about this jutsu, one her cousin never learned due to her lack of chakra control and lack of medical skills.

"I'm going to show you a Jutsu, one that can regrow your vital organs and rapidly increase your raw power. It's called Ninja Art:Mitoic Regeneration Jutsu, the same jutsu based on Hashirama's Slug Senjutsu regeneration."Tsunade said to me.

"Hashirama can regenerate ? "I asked her.

"He can do it without handseals, not even i have the healing talent of that, however i've found a way to surpass even that with Ninja Art:Mitoic Regeneration Jutsu, the regeneration process that is. While my raw power and skill pales in comparison to my grandfather or my granduncle, i can regenerate even fatal wounds with this Jutsu such as your heart being ruptured, in conjuction with merging with Katsuyu, i can survivee being blown to pieces but only can surrive one blow like that before being put out of commision. Combined with that and the 100 Healings Jutsu, you're raw power and chakra reserves would go up 100 fold of your base power and you can survive almost any fatal injury and synced with Katusyu, you can raise your power even further and spilt Kautsyu to heal an entire battlefield or shield your comrades and yourself." Tsunade explained to me.

"That sounds awesome, with that, i can easily catch up with Naruto and Sasuke in no time." i stated with joy.

"However there's one problem. To use these Jutsus ,especially all at once, you must become on the level of a Kage, the second problem is that it would require extreme Charka Control for in order to tap into the power, all of the cells within your body must be able to sync at once otherwise your power,speed and durability would not increase in response to your actions and most importantly, you must limt you Chakra reserves by half and create a separation and maintain it for 3 years straight. Each year would cause your Charka level to exponentially go up, once you reached , the 3 year mark, you should be able to increase your Chakra level by 100 times. At your current Chakra level, it would be suicide to use his power for you're not even Chunin level given the attempt to use an S rank Jutsu would kill you, only when you achieve at least Jounin level strength can you start to use 100 Healings Jutsu and even then, you will pass out after a single use unless you achieve Kage level power." Tsunade explained to me as she goes to show me her Jutsu.

Present Day

3rd person POV

"I already used this 4 times before, that one to save that paitents life from a extremly fatal injury, the one time to save my team from Team Saya and the oen time i used it within the Finals of the Chunin exams and up against Kakashi, now i have to use it against her or i'll die." Sakura said to herself as he blow glows with a pinkish Charka aura and she regenerates. Sakura grabs Rukia's blade with her bare hands, using the last of her strength and healing Chakra. She is fighting the freezing power of Rukia's Shikai.

"Damn, how did you survive that attack?" Sakura asked Rukia.

"I'm not going to die so easily!" Sakura said to Rukia.

"This girl, she's so powerful! Even with Sode no Shirayuki stabbed into her heart, she is still able to resist the freezing power of Sode no Shirayuki. She has even managed to stop the bleeding and healing the wound even when the sword is inside her." Rukia said to herself.

"I can do this, i just need one more attack on her. I will concentrate all my Chakra into one last attack." Sakura countered as her body glows with pin Chakra and she releases all her Chakra at once into a punch.

"What immense power!" Rukia said to herself.

"I give you credit, you're the frist to push me this far in a long time . Time to end this !" Sakura said to Rukia as she charges up more Charka.

"Rukia, it's time i lend you all my power, that is the only way you can beat your you fail to beat her, you will die."Sode no Shirayuki said to Rukia.

"Right, i refuse to die ." Rukia replied as she grabs her blade with both hands and charges towards Sakura.

"Mankai: Ōkashō (満開・桜花衝 Full Blossom: Cherry Blossom Clash)" Sakura chanted as she charges at Rukia with a dark pink aura around her.

"San no mai, Shirafune (参の舞・白刀, Third Dance, White Sword)"Rukia chanted as she charges with Sakura with sky blue Reiastu.

Both attacks happen at the same time as an immense amount of power is unleashed from the collision which causes a blind flash of light.


100 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Meanwhile in the forest Byakuya detects the spike in power levels with Rukia while Naruto detects Sakura's power level spike.

"This power level, is it really from Rukia? It's impossible , this isn't the Reiastu of a Vice Captain, it's the Reiastu of a Captain. I haven't sense a high power like this since Ichigo used Bankai in our fight. As for Rukia's opponent, she must've encountered a Jounin class opponent almost as strong as Captain Zaraki wearing his eyepatch limiter." Byakuya said to himself.

"Sakura's gotten much stronger. Her current level of strength is stronger than when i was within my Tailed Beast Chakra state in the Valley of the End and Sasuke's LV2 Curse Mark form combined, when did she become this strong?" Naruto said to himself.


30 miles east of Sunagakure

Rangiku and Izuru sense two immense power levels from Rukia and Sakura.

"I'm sensing two power levels that are coming from Rukia's direction." Rangiku said to Izuru.

" The power levels are 160,000 RYK each." Izuru replied shocked to read the power levels.

"160,000 RYK from Rukia's direction ? Does that mean that Rukia has acheive Bankai ?" Rangiku asked Izuru.


Back 20 miles south of the former Akatsuki hideout.

The smoke clears up to reveal Sakura and Rukia have both been seriously injured by the collision.

" I can't believe it .. i guess this is it for me.. Sasuke...Naruto.. Kakashi i have failed you all." Sakura stated to herself as she lands at the right end of the crater.

Sakura is fatally wounded with the skin on Sakura's arms is almost completely burned away and her the left side of her face is mildly burned she has cuts on her face and a damaged left leg as well as torn clothes only her bra and her pants remain and her heart is pierced.

"Looks like this is it...Sorry brother..Renji and you too Ichigo..Guess i'll be seeing you soon up there Kaien." Rukia said to herself as she falls on the left side of the crater.

Rukia is also fatally injured and on the ground unconscious. Her chest has been impaled with blunt force. Her stomach and liver have been ruptured as well as her heart and a rib is pressing against her left lung, she also has both her arms and legs and 3 ribs broken . Rukia struggles to live with healing Kidō as blood pours out of her body .

Both of them are buried in a 109 foot diameter , 30 foot deep crater within the ruined cave. The final clash of attacks generated 157.6 Tons of TNT , enough to level several city blocks.


Meanwhile at the Vizard Hideout

Ichigo manages to clash attacks with Hiyori. with using his Vizard mask and Shikai. Ichigo blocks Hiyori's attacks and keeps up with Hyori's speed.

"Not bad Ichigo, you have been improving." Hiyori said to Ichigo .

"I'm only getting started bitch!" Ichigo replied as he clashes swords with Hiyori and holds back her blade.

"Let's see i you can last longer than the last time." Hiyori shouted as she goes to attack him only or Ichigo to suddenly sense a bad omen.

"Rukia! What's going on? It's as if her life-force vanished. How can i even sense her under this barrier? This has to be some delusion." Ichigo stated to himself only to be kicked 100 feet into a wall.

"Don't take you eyes off me dickhead!" Hiyori shouted.


Meanwhile at Konoha

Tsunade is within her office drinking saké when her bottle cracked and she senses a bad omen.

"This isn't good, someone is dying but who could it be ? No it can't be ..." Tsunade said to herself as Shizune walks in to talk to Tsunade about the letter she received.

"It's a letter from Sakura!" Shizune said to the Hokage .

"What does it read? " Tsunade asked.

"It's says that Kankurō of Sunakagure is in need of a high risk surgery and would be brought back here in 3 days." Shizune explained to Tsunade.

"Tell them it's approved then!" Tsunade replied.

"Your desk is a mess, did you spill saké?" Shizune asked.

"No the bottle cracked, that means a bad omen has occurred." Tsunade answered.


30 miles east of the Land of Rivers Land of Wind border.

Renji feels a bad omen coming down on him.

"Rukia, what the hell happened with her ? I can't even feel her presence anymore , this is bad i must save her before... " Renji thinks to himself but is interrupted by Temari.

"You're wide open!" Temari shouted as she attacks with a closed folding fan using only one hand and minimal effort . Renji block with both hands on his sealed sword but is being pushed down by Temari's strength.

"Shit, i got my own problems now!" Renji said to himself.

"Don't fall asleep on me!" Temari shouted


30 miles east of Sunagakure

Rangiku and Izuru get the bone chilling news of Rukia's current state.

"Oh No, this is bad, Rukia's RYK is fading rapidly." Izuru said to Rangiku.

"What, where's Renji?" Rangiku asked.

"He's been ambushed by a sizable power reading of 750 RYK." Izuru replied.

"That's nothing , he should still be there unless they caught him off guard like Kenpachi's team." Rangiku stated.

"These Shinobi are much tougher than we thought." Izuru replied.

"What's Rukia's power?" Rangiku asked.

"It's pummeling fast ...50RYK...30 RYK... 6RYK" Izuru answered.

"That means she's at near death, when a Lieutenant level Shinigmai or Captain level Shinigmai drops below 100 RYK, they have been seriously injured, at 6 RYK that means they only have between a few minutes and a few hours to live." Rangiku explained to the blonde haired Lieutenant.

"I can't even sense the opponent she fought, does that mean she killed the opponent?" Izuru asked.

"It would seen so but at a devastating price of her own life, that burst of Reiatsu we detected was too much for any Lieutenant to handle without Bankai." Rangiku stated.

"There's some good news though, Hitsugaya has won his battle with barely a drop in his Reiatsu however Byakuya Kuchiki is having serious trouble against his opponent." Izuru stated.


100 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Meanwhile in the forest Byakuya detects the life force of Rukia slipping away. Naruto detects Sakura's Chakra fading.

"Rukia is in danger, her life force is literary slipping away from her. She must of fought an opponent of Captain Class Reiatsu . That would explain why she could of lost of all people, her skills has allowed her to even hold her own against Renji, a Lieutenant with Bankai. For her to be defeated meant she couldn't of possibly handle her foe's power." Byakuya said to himself.

"Sakura, she's in trouble and so in Kakashi sensei. Both of their Chakra's virtually vanished. No there's no way those two could lose they are too powerful to lose unless they fought foes as powerful as the one i'm fighting right now. Not Since Gaara or Sasuke have i met a foe with so much Chakra if anything his Chakra is easily comparable with level 2 Curse Mark Sasuke. I got to end this fast." Naruto said to himself running around Byakuya 's Bankai and goes for kunai thrust to his chest but Byakuya grabs Naruto's kunai and cuts his own arm touching it.

"Damn it, i see your speed and power are impressive but i will shatter that power." Byakuya shouted as he spills blood from his wound.

"What, you just cut yourself?" Naruto asked shocked to see Byakuya cut himself .

"Watch carefully Naruto Uzumaki ... What you see is what happens when i abandon defense in favor of a concentrated offense. Senkei (殲景,Slaughterscape)" Byakuya chanted as he gathers energy created by his blood, which glows and turns into spiritual energy, mixing with the tiny blades of his Bankai. This unites the scattered petals into complete glowing swords, numbering in the thousands, that form four rows. These rows float just above the other, and circle around Byakuya and Naruto in a continuously moving, column-like array.

"It doesn't matter what power you show, i will crush you no matter what and force you to tell me where you're keeping Gaara." Naruto shouted.

"You're the 3rd person ever to see this form of my last person i fought was just as powerful as you as well as young, he was also a human much like you as well." Byakuya said to the young Genin.

"I'm flattered, just who was this kid?" Naruto asked.

"His name is Ichigo Kurosaki . A kid with Vast Spiritual Power, as powerful as you Bjuus." Byakuya answered.

"It's funny, well unlike him, i will defeat you!" Naruto replied.

"I don't think you will be so fortunate, here i come Naruto Uzumaki." Byakuya replied as he charges at Naruto.


10 miles north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Hitsugaya stands at the crater that is 274 foot wide and 74 foot deep . Everything within a 3,000 foot radius has been reduced to ash and everything within a mile radius is on fire with the Kidō producing the equivalent of 3. 97 Kilotons of TNT . Smoke covers the entire crater as well as flames.

Kakashi emerges out of the crater. His entire shirt was burned off and iron gloves virtually nonexistent, his pants are torn and burned reducing them to torn pants and his shoes are gone. His mask is nearly destroyed. His body only took minor burns.

"What? How did you survive a Hadō 88?" Hitsugaya asked shocked to see Kakashi still alive.

"It's simple, i channeled my Lightning Chakra to absorb most of the blast, you did however destroy my Hakkō Chakura Tō." Kakashi explained to Hitsugaya as his body is covered in dirt and he's exhausted.

"Looks like you reached your limit , Kakashi Hatake. Sennen Hyōrō (千年氷牢, Thousand Years' Ice Prison)" Hitsugaya chanted as he surrounds Kakashi with ice pillars to trap him but Kakashi breaks out of it charging up lightning.

"Was that the best you could do?" Kakashi asked the silver-haired Captain as he overpowers it.

"Huh! How did you do that?" Hitsugaya asked as he shocked that Kakashi can still fight despite his injuries.

"You're finished ! Hadō #88. Hiryugekizokushintenraiho (飛竜撃賊震天雷砲, Flying Dragon-Striking Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon)" Kakashi chanted as he puts his palm up toward Hitsugaya and fires it .

"Shit he copied that attack!" Hitsugaya said to himself as he dodges the blast however Kakashi then turns the blast around.

"Raijū Hashiri (雷獣走りの術Lightning Beast Running Jutsu)" Kakashi chanted as he turns the Hadō 88 into a massive 20 foot hound.

"He's combining his Jutsu with the Kidō he copied." Hitsugaya said to himself as he's shocked to see the feat.

"Raijū Hashiri Hiryugekizokushintenraiho (雷獣走りの術飛竜撃賊震天雷砲,Lightning Beast Flying Dragon-Striking Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon)" Kakashi chanted as he fires a gigantic beam of electrical and spiritual energy creating a blast as powerful as the one Hitsugaya fired.

The explosion seriously injuries Hitsugaya burning off his Captains robe and destroying his Shihakushō , only the pants and the right hand of his upper Shihakushō remain and burns cover his body as well as blood as well as burns all over his body.

"Look's like your toast kid!" Kakashi stated as he's exhausted of all his Chakra.

"If that's the case , i'll just have to gain more energy." Hitsugaya replied as he holds his sword and gathers a massive Reiatsu around him as his wings regenerate. The sky turns black and he flies up with a blue aura around his body.

"What the hell? What is he doing?" Kakashi asked himself the sky turns back.

"Tensō Jūrin (天相従臨, Subjugation Of The Heavens)" Hitsugaya chanted as he causes a massive snowstorm freezing everything within a 1 mile radius, everything in the area is instantly frozen.

"He's manipulating the environment, he's literary distorting the skies itself to power that a child that age capable of this much destructive power. Not since Sasuke have i seen such a talented ninja . It's best i finish this." Kakashi said to himself as he uses his aura to charge up within a 1 mile radius is overwhelmed by lightning nature Chakra.


1 mile north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Neji and Tenten continue their way to Kakashi with Pakkun leading them. They see a giant a 1 mile diameter cloud above the sky within lightning clouds and blowing winds. Neji and Tenten then sense the massive clash of energy.

"There are two massive spiritual powers, almost as high as the ones we felt from Gai and that Eyepatch guy." Neji stated.

"Who's causing all this?" Tenten asked.

"One of them is Kakashi, judging by his Chakra level he's using all his Chakra at once , he's at his very limit." Neji answered.

"Who is the other?" Tenten asked.

"I don't recognize the Chakra!" Neji replied.

"It's the guy who kidnapped Gaara. The power and scent matches Kankurō's description, Neji zoom in to see the appearance of the kid." Pakkun demanded.

"Right ! Byakugan!" Neji replied as he uses his Byakugan to see Hitsugaya.

"Who's Kakashi's opponent?" Tenten asked.

"It's a spiky haired silver haired kid around 12-13 in kid looks alot like a younger Kakashi." Neji replied.

"That's the kid alright!" Pakkun stated.

"It's best we aid Kakashi!" Neji replied.

"Okay!" Tenten responded.


Back at the battlefield 9 miles away

Hitsugaya is 5,000 feet in the sky while Kakashi is within the destroyed hill with two massive craters on the sides of it, lightning surges out of the ground and wind storms overwhelms the skies.

"Die Kakashi ! Kyojin Seihyōryū ( 巨人 製氷龍 Giant Ice Dragon)" Hitsugaya chanted as he creates a massive 200 foot tall Chinese dragon with wings heading into Kakashi.

"Raijū Hashiri Hiryugekizokushintenraiho (雷獣走りの術飛竜撃賊震天雷砲,Lightning Beast Flying Dragon-Striking Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon)" Kakashi countered as he creates a massive 200 foot winged hound.

Both attacks clash with each other and create a massive struggle in power the blast collide at the 2,500 foot above sea level. The blast struggles to overpower the blast and the blasts fail to bulge each other.

"His Lightning blast is as strong as my ice blast!" Hitsugaya stated to himself.

"Damn it, looks like there is only one thing left to do!" Kakashi stated to himself.

Both attacks collide and explode creating a massive explosion that blows back both of them . Kakashi is sent flying 1,000 feet away while Hitsugaya falls out of the sky and lands on the ground. Both of them are seriously within a mile is covered in electrified ice.

"Damn it , i guess a direct attack wasn't enough!" Hitsugaya said to himself as he stands on the top of a 1,000 foot wide, 100 foot high plateau.

"Shit, this kid is too much. I have no choice but to use my ultimate Jutsu!" Kakashi said to himself as he gets back up.

"This guy is good, he has figured out the full extent my abilities. He hid himself with clones most of the battle. There's no way i can continue this battle at this rate , my body can't handle another drawn out battle." Hitsugaya stated to himself.

"Time to reveal my new Sharingan!" Kakashi said to himself as he put his hands together and puts them towards his left eye and Chakra gathers around his eye.

"I have only enough energy for one attack!" Hitsugaya said to himself as he gathers energy around his body.

"Mangekyō Sharingan ( 万華鏡写輪眼Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye)" Kakashi chanted as Kakashi removes his hands around his left eye . His eye gains a pinwheel shaped tomote around on his eye.

"What is he up to? " Hitsugaya said to himself.

"Kamui (神威 Might of the Gods)" Kakashi chanted as his eye focuses on Hitsugaya and his eyes glow red and Hitsugaya's body is then surrounded by a gust of wind and the air around him is distorted.

"What is this?" Hitsugaya asked himself is trapped within a distorting vortex of energy.

"Time to take your head kid!" Kakashi said to himself.

"My body it's like it's been sucked into a black hole." Hitsugaya asked himself as his body starts to get sucked within the vortex. Hitsugaya struggles to then creates a rift through space and time and rips through his chest.

"It's not use escaping, this should finish you off!" Kakashi said to Hitsugaya.

"What ? Impossible , he's creating a black hole inside my body. Escape is impossible ..." Hitsugaya said to himself struggles to move but his body is paralyzed as everything around him is sucked into his chest.

Trees are ripped to shreds rocks are uplifted and Hitsugaya's body is compressed into the black hole and then the black hole closes and the hole caves in creating a 1,244 foot diameter 337 foot deep crater. The entire plateau was destroyed. The energy behind Kamui produced 900 Kilotons of TNT suction force.

"What overwhelming power, the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan ( 万華鏡写輪眼Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye) is too much for me to even control. It killed the kid in one hit, the same one i had to struggle against the entire battle. Had i know about the power of Kamui (神威 Might of the Gods) earlier, i could've ended the battle alot quicker." Kakashi said to himself while on the ground out of energy and extremely fatigued.

Suddenly Hitsugaya appears above the sky with only one petal.

"Damn, that was too close for comfort!" Hitsugaya stated as he held onto his chest.

"Impossible, how did you manage to escape it?" Kakashi asked with a shock look in his face.

"I didn't escape, i used a clone last second to escape your attack, i didn't know you processed such a devastating power however it has token it's toll on you. Had you controlled your aim better, you would of got me. Now Kakashi it's time i show you why my Hyōrinmaru is the strongest of all ice-element Zanpakutō in Soul Society. Tensō Jūrin (天相従臨, Subjugation Of The Heavens)." Hitsugaya stated as he uses Tensō Jūrin to power up his attack.

"I can't move my body!" Kakashi said to himself as he tries to get up.

"Hyōten Hyakkasō (氷天百華葬, Frozen Heaven Hundred Flower Funeral) " Hitsugaya chanted as he uses the last of his spiritual power to unleash a massive amount of energy into the sky . the overwhelming release of blue energy shoots up into the sky after the sky turns pitch black.


500 meters north of the Former Akatsuki Hideout

Neji and Tenten as well as Pakkun arrive at the scene when they see a bright flash of light followed by a massive beam of light.

"What an intense level of Chakra , it's off the charts ." Neji stated.

"What's going on?" Tenten asked as they see the sky open up a massive 500 foot diameter hold in due to the discharge of Hitsugaya's spiritual power.

"Shit this must of been the Jutsu used to nearly level Sunakagure. Kakashi is in trouble." Pakkun said to the team.

"Everyone take cover, if any of us is hit , we're done for." Neji stated as everyone take cover behind a rock.

"Right!" Tenten replied as they stand behind the rock.


Back at the battlefield 500 meters away

Kakashi is seeing the power first hand as Hitsugaya creates a huge hole in the clouds through which a large amount of snow falls down on to him.

"That's alot of snow, i must stop him . Hadō #88. Hiryugekizokushintenraiho (飛竜撃賊震天雷砲, Flying Dragon-Striking Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon)" Kakashi chanted as he tries to block the ice but his electrical blast is frozen mid air and shattered.

"It's no use, my attack can't be stopped!" Hitsugaya stated .

"Impossible, he froze lightning in place!" Kakashi said to himself shocked to see it frozen so easily but before Kakashi could react, his right hand is frozen with a flower shaped icicle on his right hand. Kakashi leaps 300 feet in the where his left shoulder and right leg are frozen.

"Hyōten Hyakkasō (氷天百華葬, Frozen Heaven Hundred Flower Funeral). Anything that comes in contact with that snow instantly freezes into a flower like shape . By the time flowers blossom in the hundreds...Your life would had faded." Hitsugaya explained to Kakashi as everything within a 1 mile radius freezes around Hitsugaya.

"Damn it!" Kakashi shouted as he's frozen solid.

Trees are engulfed within the ice as well as animals,the frost wave . Kakashi tries to go high enough but he's stopped at 1,000 feet when his body is frozen entirely by the ice. Kakashi is frozen in a massive 1 mile high 500 foot diameter cluster of ice entire battlefield is surrounded with snow. The energy within the ice created by Hitsugaya produced the yield 20.1 kilotons of TNT, the equivalent of the Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

"Damn...i took too much damage, very well at least i have prepared your burial, Kakashi Hatake." Hitsugaya said to himself as he is about draw back his sword but suddenly the ice shatters in an instant revealing a black hole created as the entire pillar is shattered and sucked into the hole.

"You almost got me...Oborozuki (おぼろ月Hazy Moon ) " Kakashi chanted as he appears behind Hitsugaya.

"Impossible!" Hitsugaya stated as he prepares to block a sword strike but Kakashi appears behind him with his arms crossed out and him wielding the broken Tantō shaped into a sword with lightning in his right hand and white Chakra streaks coming from Hitsugaya's right arm and Kakashi's blade. Hitsugaya's right-wing of his Bankai is cut off along with his entire right arm.

"Damn it ..." Hitsugaya stated as he falls down 1,000 feet into the ground and collapses to the ground.

Kakashi is barely standing from the attack as his hands bleed from the attack and the other half of his saber breaks entirely, his right arm, left shoulder and left leg are bleeding. Hitsugaya stands on the air 5,000 feet reverts back to his sealed sword from before falling down.

"I must admit that attack nearly got me, but thanks to my Mangekyō Sharingan . I was able to negate your attack and then used a shadōw clone to take my place. I then used Earth Style: Hidden Mole Jutsu (土遁・土竜隠れの術Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) to escape the blast and i managed to get you by walking on the air you walk." Kakashi explained to Hitsugaya but he also falls down to the ground.


15 miles east of the Land of Rivers Land of Wind border.

Izuru gets a report that Hitsugaya's power level has dropped drastically.

"Damn it, his power level. Captain Hitsugaya has been defeated." Izuru stated.

"WHAT? It can't be!" Rangiku shouted outraged by the fact her Captain lost .

"His power has also dropped like a stone, it's now at 50 RYK." Izuru stated.

"Damn it, at this rate we're all going to die. First Zaraki and now Hitsugaya." Rangiku replied.

"Just a few minutes ago both powers skyrocketed to 6,000,000 RYK, now they have both dropped." Izuru explained to the orange haired Lieutenant.

"It must of been that same Jōunin from before, but it looks like he didn't get the upper hand either in a fight. What's Byakuya's status currently?" Rangiku asked.

"His RYK shot up to 300,000 RYK . His opponent is only 60,000 RYK." Izuru replied.


Meanwhile at the 4th Division barracks.

Flashback to last night

"Momo, before i go to sleep i wanted to give you this." Hitsugaya stated as he hands her a flower.

"This flower is made of Ice , it looks so beautiful Toshiro." Momo stated.

" Thanks, i worked hard day and night . This flower is made from Hyorinmaru's ice, it would never melt or crack." Hitsugaya explained to Momo.

" Thank you Toshiro Kun ! " Momo replied as she kisses Hitsugaya

Back to present time

" I just hope he's alive ! " Momo said to herself.

"So it's my speed that has gotten slower?" Naruto asked.

"You held your own against a Captain without turning into your Bjuu form, a feat impressive for a human Genin but you humans have a limit unlike us Shinigami." Byakuya explained to Naruto.

"What the hell? How did you survive a hit like that? " Naruto asked shocked to still see Byakuya standing.

"I used Bakduō # 85 .Gekitai Kakusui Shōheki ( 撃退角錐障壁 Repulse Pyramid Barrier), a Kidō stronger than even Danku, you managed to shatter even that barrier." Byakuya explained to Naruto as he reveals his Captains robe has been burned off and the top half of his soul reaper robe gone with the crest on his head and the scarf on his neck gone.

"Let me out of here you rotten bastard!" Naruto shouted.

"You ruined my scarf passed down from generation to generation to Kuchiki family head. The scarf alone is worth enough to buy ten mansions in the Seireitei but it was either that or i took a direct hit and died on the spot." Byakuya explained to Naruto.

"You think you can keep me here forever?" Naruto replied shouting

"I must admit, you managed to destroy my Bankai with that attack however you lack skill, that is the difference between you and me." Byakuya replied.

"Get me out of here you fucking asshole , Rasengan." Naruto shouted as he tries to break out the barrier.

"Get real, it can hold up to a Hadō 94 Kidō . I don't know where you got the strength to break my barrier in the first place but you're at your limit . The barrier also drains ones Reiatsu, you never had a chance." Byakuya replied as he holds onto his damaged arm. Naruto passes out from the lack of Chakra.

Omake 8 :Konoha Squad brochure.

Shizune is on the set with a slideshow about the Squads within Konoha's Shinobi defense force.

"I'm Shizune, it's time for the Konoha Squad segment is to explain the Squads within Konona. Today we'll be discussing Team Kakashi." she shows a picture of Team Kakashi.

"Squad 7 is a team led by Kakashi Hatake and was formed after the members became Genin. The members were selected in order to balance out their talents. Naruto, the worst student in his graduating class, would benefit from Sakura's intelligence and Sasuke's proficiency with ninja skills. Sakura would similarly benefit from her more battle-capable team-mates, whereas Sasuke would benefit from being forced to work with others." Shizune stated as she shows pictures of the team working together in the past.

"When Sasuke defected from Konoha to seek power from Orochimaru over 33 months ago, Team 7 was disbanded for the next two and a half years and has now recently has reformed in the wake of the Gaara's abduction." Shizune stated showing Sasuke leaving the village.

"Kakashi is the Jōunin leader of the team . He's a natural genius, evidenced by the speed he rose through the ninja ranks; he graduated from the academy at age 5, becoming a Chūnin at age 6, a Jōunin at 13, and had a long tenure as an ANBU. During his career he has amassed a jutsu arsenal of over a thousand different techniques, making him one of Konoha's most powerful Jōunin." She stated as she shows a picture of Kakashi's past.

"Sakura Haruno is the second in command of the group. Before she trained under lady Tsunade, she was barely at Genin level strength. Her poor combat skills and stamina prevented her from being very helpful during the earlier battles in the series. Now after 33 months of training, she specializes in Medical Ninjutsu and her strength is among the highest of her age group and mastered most of Tsunade's Jutsus and secrets." Shizune stated as she shows clips showing the difference in power between Sakura in the past and in the present.

"Then there's Naruto Uzumaki , he's really improved greatly from the start . He went from Dead-Last in the Ninja Academy to a Genin capable of fighting on par with the Akatsuki and Jōunin level Shinobi thanks to his long his two-and-a-half years of training with Jiraiya. Naruto also improves his knowledge of other ninja skills while under Jiraiya's tutelage. Naruto ever since the Chūnin exams was already progressing rapidly to the point that he was on par with a Special Jōunin, his timeskip training has increased his power tenfold to the point he can give even Kakashi a run for his money." Shizune stated showing pictures of Naruto's battles with Neji, Sasuke and Kakashi.

"The other reason this team was formed is to keep the Kyuubi in Naruto contained, Naruto process the Kyuubi and if it were to fall into the wrong hands, we can be in serious trouble . If you believe in adventure and teamwork ,Team Kakashi is right for you." Shizune stated drinking some saké.

"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.
