Bleach Shippuden 37 : Captains vs Jōunins round 2, Return of Naruto
(A/N :The battles between Shingimai and Shinobi rage on as the Jounins and captains fight it out while the Shingimai task force advances further into the inner city )
I do not own Bleach or Naruto.
Meanwhile at Konoha General Hospital
Sakura senses Kurenai's chakra surge from a distance. Sakura managed to heal Choji, Ino and Shikamaru all at once.
"What's going on out here ? " Sakura asked.
"It's Kurenai , she's probably fighting off the Shinobi " Ino answered.
"What is she doing fighting? She's 7 months pregnant " Sakura asked.
"Damn it, she's putting herself in danger " Shikamaru shouted.
"Son, Kurenai is no weakling . She's the best Genjustu master in the village, unless her foe has Sharrigan or mastered Gai's level of Taijustu training, there's no way they can beat her" Shikaku stated.
"How are you sure ? These Shinigmai are not to be underestimated . One took both you and Inoichi out Dad " Shikamaru stated.
"Well that might be true but unlike us who rely on physical strength , she doesn't really need to lift a finger. She could use Genjustu without even having eye contact with the user " Shikaku answered.
" How is it possible ? " Shikamaru questioned.
"She uses wind currents around the atmosphere and controls them with her chakra . The secret to Kurenai's Genjustu is Wind release." Shikaku answered.
"Wind Release ? " Shikamaru asked.
"Her and Asuma are the only ones who process the ability of Wind Release in this village as well as Shizune however unlike Asuma or most Wind users who rely on the Wind element for brute force or for cutting power, she uses a much more subtle way of Genjustu which leaks chakra into the body through inhalation " Shikaku explained to Shikamaru .
"Air is all around us and it's the produce of all life on earth. It's virtually impossible to avoid inhaling or in some cases feeling it " Shikamaru stated.
"Her genjustu is that powerful ? " Ino asked shocked to hear such a thing.
"Kurenai can manipulate that flow with her Chakra to put you in her Genjustu , very few people are able to counter her Genjustu and when they do it's usually too late. It also allows her to spread her Genjustu in such a wide area . In short her power is so great that even if your aware that you're in a genjustu , she can still inflict actual damage to you " Inoichi explained to his daughter.
"Impossible ! Genjustu is only meant to deceive and hide movements as well as trap foes, you're saying she can also kill as well " Sakura questioned.
"She's one of the few capable of killing with Genjustu. The only other ones capable of this was Yakumo Kurama and Itachi Uchiha. She can actually inflict real external and internal damage by using the flow of chakra with the air. Causing precise damage to the opponent in portion to the genjustu's mental damage. Furthermore, the genjutsu is so powerful that it causes the brain to make anything that happens to the victim within the genjutsu physically real" Shikaku stated.
"That's scary, in theory is more devastating than Tayuya's Sound Base Genjustu and harder to avoid given air is all around the atmosphere " Shikamaru said shocked to hear about this .
"Even your Jōunin leader Asuma could never best her in battle given the extent of her Genjustu. The only way to completely counter her Genjustu is to either have Kage level chakra control or to process the Mangekyō Sharingan. Those who are Jōunin class could resist her Genjustu if they have Dojustu like the Sharingan or Byakugan or in Gai's case the ability to fight without relying on five senses " Shikaku explained to them.
"I remember that, none of us was able to really touch her " Hinata stated as she thinks back to the past.
8 months ago
Kiba is training with her in training ground along with Shino and Hinata.
"We have trained for 2 years now. Now that you guys are Chūnin. It's time to see how you guys improved " Kurenai said to them.
"Very well then teacher. Akamaru let's do this " Kiba stated with confidence .
"Okay, just because you are our teacher doesn't mean we would go easy on you" Shino stated calmly.
"Mmmm... okay " Hinata shyly replied.
"Very well then , take these bells from me and you will pass " Kurenai replied as they all fight Kurenai .
Kiba was the first to attack coming up close to Kurenai but he was kicked down by sensei's powerful legs and sent 20 feet flying hitting his dog Akamaru and they fall down. I was next to come at Sensei .
"Byakugan:Hakke Sanjūni Shō (八卦三十二掌 Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms ) " i chanted as i hit her 32 times with my palms but it was an illusion.
"Got you now Retsumame Ketsugō Sakkaku (列豆結合錯覚 String Bean Binding Illusion ) " Kurenai chanted as she tries to ensnare me in her Illusions . I was the first to be token out despite having Byakugan
The next to be token out was Shino. His insects where a goodmatchup against her Genjustu given Genjustu doesn't
"Kikaichū:Tatsumaki ( 寄壊蟲竜巻 Parasitic Insects Tornado ) " Shino chanted as he surrounded Kurenai in a tornado of insects but she then countered them.
"Wind Style : Air Barrier " Kurenai chanted as she blasted all the insects away rendering them useless .
"Impossible, she blasted away my insects " Shino srated shocked to see it.
"Gatsūga (牙通牙 Man-Beast Ultimate Taijutsu: Fang Over Fang ) " Kiba chanted as he spins around coming at Kurenai with Akamaru but Kurenai dodges both there attacks with ease. Kiba and Akamaru then surprise her with their speed
"What ? " Kurenai stated shocked to see Kiba behind her.
"You think you can evade me, now i got you " Kiba shouted he then passes though an illusion of Kurenai and him and Akamaru hit the ground hard.
"You need to do better than that to stop me Kiba " Kurenai said to Kiba.
Inuzuka-Ryū: Jinjū Konbi Henge: Sōtōro (犬塚流・人獣混合変化・双頭狼 Inuzuka Style: Man Beast Transformation Combo: : Two-Headed Wolf ) " Kiba chanted as he creates a whirlwind of chakra that levels everything within a 300 foot radius .
"What impressive spiritual power your releasing " Kurenai smiled.
Out of the cloud emerges a 25 foot high wolf with two heads.
"Time to end this ! Garōga (牙狼牙 Wolf Fang Over Fang) " Kiba chants as he spins at immensely fast speeds.
"Wind Style: Scattering Flower Dance " Kurenai chanted as she fires a powerful cyclone of petals at Kiba causing a massive explosion leveling everything within a 600 foot radius.
Kurenai then sees Kiba return back to normal with Akamaru and both of them exhausted of their chakra.
"Damn i can't believe it didn't work ? " Kiba said to Kurenai but he's then ensnared in a tree.
"Got you now " Kurenai said to kiba but then i broke free and came at Kurenai.
"Hakke Sutorīmu Yashiha (八卦ストリームのヤシ波Eight Trigrams Stream Palm Wave) " i chanted as i rotated my hands and created a powerful widening blast of chakra towards Kurenai which destroys everything within a 300 foot radius. Kurenai manages to dodge the blast .
After fighting for a while and damaging the training ground we were all worn out.
"It's amazing how strong you guys have gotten in such a short amount of time . Almost all of you are at the level of a Jounin " Kurenai stated.
"That's cool " Kiba said cheerfully.
"Our of the Konoha 11, your team has the most potential to shine " Kurenai said to the team.
"Thank you Captain Kurenai " Hinata said to her.
Present pov
"Still i can't take the risk of losing another sensei, i'm going to the Nara manor to get some supplies so i can help her out " Shikamaru stated.
"It's too dangerous out there, your going up against a captain " Inoichi stated.
"No i'll merely be assisting her taking on a captain . I know my limitations better than anyone else " Shikamaru replied as he heads out of the hospital.
"Good luck out there my son " Shikaku said to him.
Meanwhile at the Hokage's palace
Tsunade then senses Kurenai's spiritual energy.
"What ? What is that moron doing ? Doesn't she see she had a baby inside her ? What is she doing on the battlefield ? " Tsunade shouted.
"She's fighting one of the Shinigmai captains " Katsuyu answered.
"I'm aware of that now , bitch must of kept her chakra suppressed up until now " Tsunade said to Katsuyu as she clenches her fist.
"What are we going to do ? Kurenai won't be easy to stop and most of the Jōunin are too injured to fight again
"If only i could move out of here, there's still too many people that need healing so i can't go. We have no choice but to let her be for now and hope Shizune or Neji finish their battles soon or until Naruto, Gai, Yamamoto and Kakashi arrive back here "
"Isn't that a big gamble ? " Katsuyu complained.
"It's our only option left for now . Kurenai is the best Genjustu user in the village, sending anything less than high level Jōunin to capture her would waste time and men. Besides ,shes out to avenge the person who died in the hands of them.
" I see " Katsuyu replied.
"If she gets too injured however, go and save her and fend off the enemy . Is that understood ? " Tsunade commanded.
"Yes lady Tsunade " Katsuyu answered.
"Is Lee finished ? " Tsunade asked.
"Yes he is , he just finished evacuating the last group of people near the battlefield where Neji is fighting " Katsuyu stated.
"Tell him to hunt down the Shinigmai causing all this commotion and take him down " Tsunade stated.
"Yes Lady Tsunade " Katsuyu replied.
Meanwhile 1 mile north of Neji's location
Lee is helping people go into evacuation shelters within the Downtown district. The Downtown district is being bombarded with hail and frozen rain from the battle happening a mile away
"It looks like Neji has found a formidable foe to face off against " Lee said to himself as he then confronted by Katsuyu.
"Neji, you're needed to fight a Shinimgai heading straight to Downtown Konoha " Katsuyu said to Lee.
"Oh boy, hopefully he's strong " Lee joyfully said to Katsuyu.
"He's very strong. He just took out 50 Shinobi with just his barehands " Katsuyu explained.
"He sounds like a real challenge , i'll fight him and have so much fun " Lee happily replied as he heads out to fight Ichigo.
4 miles west of the Main gate
Ichigo runs across the main road where he sees nothing but burnt out buildings
"I've looked everywhere for this Naruto guy but i can't find the damn kid. It's so hard to look for him in this massive village " Ichigo thought to himself.
"Keep looking, use all your senses " Zangestu said to Ichigo.
"What you think i have been doing all this time ? " Ichigo shouted.
"Well your not the best at sensing spiritual energy you know " Zangestu stated.
"Shut the hell up , this is no time for your nagging " Ichigo replied as he tires to sense Naruto's chakra but to no avail. He then encounters 10 more Shinobi out to fight him .
" It's a Shingimai get him " said one of the Shinobi as they all charge at Ichigo.
"Great more weaklings " Ichigo nonchalantly stated as he goes to fight them with his barehands.
Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu (火遁・龍火の術 Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu) " the mulleted Chūnin said as he breathes fire along a cord which rushes forward in straight line. Ichigo dodges the attack and punches him in the stomach knocking him out.
"Wind Style: Gale Palm (風遁・烈風掌Fūton: Reppūshō) " the bald headed Chūnin chanted as he claps his hands firing a gale blast but Ichigo stands there and takes no damage . Ichigo goes behind him and knocks him out .
"Water Style: Liquid Bullet" one of the Chūnin said as he water infused chakra from his mouth but Ichigo then appears behind him and kicks him down.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu " said a balding Chūnin as the fireball collides with the fire stream and tornado, creating a large 100 foot radius explosion but Ichigo is unfazed .
"This is getting boring " Ichigo yawned as he draws out his sword and lightly swings it creating a wind wave knocking back all the 6 remaining Chūnin. Ichigo heads out to find Naruto.
Meanwhile in the Naka District Hospital
20 Medical Ninjas finished healing Suzume and her squad . Suzume wakes up to do a row call on her Squad .
"Where's Benji ? " Suzume asked.
"What do you mean ? " one of the medics asked.
Suddenly a young man rushes into the hospital with mild wounds on his body wear only in his boxers . He resembles Uryu but has black hair instead of blueish black.
"Benji what happened to you ? " Suzume asked.
"I woke up with my clothes gone , i then heard you guys were heading to the hospital " Benji stated.
"Hold it, how do we know your not the enemy ? " said one of the Genin.
" It's really me Benji " the guy said them.
"Let's see if that's the case " Suzume replied as she checks him out and looks around for anything wrong. "You're the real deal if that's the case contact the ANBU, we got someone impersonating you " Suzume stated
"Right " Benji replied.
Meanwhile at the Yamanaka district
Uryu searches for Naruto while disguised as a Chūnin . Uryu looks around for Naruto in the Yamanaka district which is abandoned of all life .
" I still can't sense his spiritual power , he must be hidden somewhere deep into the village but i would of at least sensed his prescience by now " Uyru said to himself as he looks around the village.
Uryu then pulls out a Denreishinki to call Ichigo on the phone.
"Yes Uryu " Ichgio asked.
"Did you find the Nine Tails yet ? " Uryu asked him.
"What? I thought you were calling because you found the Nine Tails " Ichigo answered.
" I can't sense him anywhere with my ability to track reishi. A Quincy can track anything up to a mile radius , the fact i haven't picked up his spiritual pressure means two things " Uryu said to Ichigo.
"What does that mean ? " Ichigo asked.
"Either Naruto is being hidden from us or he's not even in the village and this could be a trap by the enemy " Uryu answered.
Meanwhile at Konoha park
Rangiku and Izuru are with 250 Shinigmai proceeding and fighting through a wave of 300 Shinobi within there way . Rain pours down heavily in the burned down park .
"Lightning Style: Lightning Ball (雷球雷遁 Raiton: Raikyū )" one of the bald Chūnin chants as he fires a powerful ball of electricity towards a unseated Shinigmai. The Shingimai dodged as the blast.
"Hadō #31. Shakkahō " 20 unseated officers chanted as they fire a barrage of red fireballs that hit the attackers like artillery shells creating a series of powerful explosions.
" Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu (火遁・龍火の術 Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu) " 50 ninjas responded by throwing stringed kunai and breathing fire through them.
"Wind Style: Gale Palm (風遁・烈風掌Fūton: Reppūshō) " 60 ninjas chanted as they fire a wave of wind blasts at the Shignimai horde.
"Fire Style : Fireball Justu " 50 ninjas chanted as they fire a barrage of fireballs .
"Everyone fire Hadō #4 spells at them " Izuru commanded as all the officers fire lightning bolts from their fingers that causes damage to the area.
"I heard Ichigo and his friends are here to help us out her " Rangiku commanded.
"Good thing he's here. We're having trouble clearing this part of the town " Izuru stated.
"Yamamoto's orders is to capture the Downtown district of Konoha and await for further orders while the captains fight it out " Rangiku stated.
" I wonder how Hisgai is doing with his team ? " Izuru asked as he thinks about Hisgai.
Meanwhile at the Financial district
Hisgai is fighting off more Shinobi with 210 Shinigmai assisting him fighting against 230 Shinobi in the area.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu " said one of the Chūnin with long hair as he shoots a fireball at Hisgai's team direction.
"Bakudo # 17 Iwatate (岩盾 Rock Shield) " one of the unseated officers chanted as he protects himself with a large rock from the fireball.
"Hado # 3 Āku kaminari (アーク雷 Arc Lightning)" one of the unseated officers chanted as he shoots a lightning arc blast.
"Wind Style: Devastation " one of the Genin chanted as they create a wind guest deflecting the blast.
"This is going to be tough getting through the barricade of justu users " Hisgai said to the team.
Five ANBU teams arrive on the scene and prepare to launch a devastating counterattack.
"Lightning Style: False Darkness" one of the ANBU agents chanted as they fire a powerful blast of lightning
"Water Style: Water Fang Bomb" another ANBU member chanted as he fires a powerful spinning water blast which creates a powerful blast but Hisgai blocks the blast.
"We got ANBU attacking us " said one of the unseated officers.
"Very well then, stand back and fend off the shinboi " Hisgai replies as he goes towards the ANBU members.
"It's a Lieutenant , take him out Ninja art ... " the Ninja said but before he can attack is cut in half by Hisgai.
The other two ANBU members try to clash swords with Hisgai but Hisgai cuts them in half as well as there swords.
"Lightning Style: False Darkness" one of the ANBU agents chanted as they fire a powerful blast of lightning at Hisgai but Hisgai cuts the blast in half and bisects the ANBU member with his sealed sword.
"Water Style: Water Fang Bomb" another ANBU member chanted as he fires a powerful spinning water blast but Hisgai uses Shunpo to cut the guys head off and redraws his sword.
"Everyone, let's continue forward to the city " Hisgai commanded.
"Right ! " the Shinigmai replied as they head into the city.
Meanwhile at Squad 4 campgrounds.
Renji waits for Rukia to come back to him when he sees Momo come into the campground through the 30 foot high doors at the gate.
"Momo, are you alright ? " Renji asked.
"I'm fine , Toshiro saved me from a Jōunin trying to kill me " Momo answered thinking of what happened to her.
"Me and Rukia were saved by Byakuya form a Jōunin as well .Hopefully they are alright , there opponents both seem to be very tough" Renji stated.
"Toshiro could handle anything thrown at them " Momo replied.
"I'm waiting for Rukia to come back before moving out " Renji stated.
"I'm going to stay here for a while and await further orders " Momo answered back.
Meanwhile at the otherside of the campground. Sajin and Iba head out to the battlefield again , Sajin his fully healed and is wearing a fresh captains robe and Shinigmai robes.
"Are you ready to head out captain Komamura ? " Iba asked.
"I never felt better " Sajin replied.
"It's time we go and aid the Shinigmai and capture the downtown district and wait for Ukitake and Kyōraku to arrive at the center of the city , we would then make one last assault on the Shinobi and capture Konoha " Iba explained to Sajin.
"Where do you guys think you're going without inviting me to the fun ? " Kenpachi asked as he comes to the end of the gate with Ikkau and Yumichika as well as Yachiru.
"What are you doing here ? " Sajin asked looking at him.
"We came to have fun with these Shinobi " Kenpachi answered with an arrogant smirk.
"We don't need your recklessness ruining our mission " Sajin stated.
"Whatever wolf face, Yamamoto ordered us to attack the downtown area and capture it. There's no way a weakling like you could possibly take down the area yourself " Kenpachi mocked .
"What was that Kenpachi ? I'm not here to take insults from you " Sajin replied getting up in Kenpachi's face.
"Face it, you're nothing without your Bankai " Kenpachi taunted .
"Shut up, you're nothing period compared to my skills " Sajin shouted .
"Go Captain ,kick his ass " Ikkau cheered.
"Well typical of you to be the cheerleader of Kenpachi " Iba stated.
"What was that ? Those sound like fighting words " Ikkau stated as he draws out his Zanpakutō.
"Bring it on Ikkau " Iba replied with a psychotic smirk as he draws out his Zanpakutō .
"Hey ,guys now isn't the time to be fighting each other, Unohana would be seriously pissed off if she found out we wasted time fighting each other " Yumichikia said to them.
"Unohana... " Iba said as his face turns blue at the thought of seeing Unohana angry. Iba qucikly redraws her sword.
"I'm not taking my chances with that woman " Ikkau replied as he redraws his sword as well.
"Okay, we'll work as a team for now, just stay out of my way when i'm fighting worthy foes " Kenpachi said to Sajin begrudgingly shaking his hand.
"Very well then Kenpachi , it's a deal " Sajin replied as they walk out of the gate.
"Yeah, it's time we all have some fun " Yachiru cheerfully shouted as she jumps on Kenpachi's shoulder.
Meanwhile Akon, Rin and Hiyosu are scanning power levels with their computers .
"Squad 7 and 11 have deployed themselves to aid squad 9's advancement into enemy territory "Akon reported to Ukitake.
"How are things in the frontlines ? " Ukitake asked.
"Squad 10 and Squad 3 have managed to capture the eastern region of the village and are advancing northwest into enemy territory . They're 6 miles northwest of the targeted zone " Rin reported.
"We should be within the battlefield in 5 to 10 minutes " Ukitake stated.
"That's great news " Akon replied.
Meanwhile at Squad 4's barracks
Unohana finished treating Soifon of her wounds. Soifon is now fully healed with her left arm restored back to her.
"I feel brand new , like a million bucks " Soifon said to Unohana.
"You should be ready to return to battle by now " Unohana replied.
"Thank you so much for fixing my arm and my wounds" Soifon said to Unohana.
"It's just part of my job " Unohana replied with a smile.
At that moment Yoruichi walks into the barracks to hug Soifon.
"Looks like my little bee is alright " Yourichi said to Soifon.
"Lady Yoruichi , i'm sorry i failed to get the 9 tails " Soifon said to Yoruichi.
"Don't worry about it , we have some new intel saying that the 9 tails is heading to the village " Yoruichi said to Unohana and Soifon explaining the situation.
"He's what ? " Soifon stated shocked to here the news.
"He's being escorted by the legendary Sanin Jiarya and several powerful Jōunin " Yoruichi explained to them.
"How do you know this ? " Unohana asked.
"Me and Kisuke set up sensors within our gigals when we infirated the village nearly two weeks ago. These sensors would detect where they are hiding the Tailed beast " Yoruichi explained to them.
"Why didn't you tell us this sooner ? " Soifon asked.
"Because we assumed they were found and destroyed by the Shinobi a while ago. It's just now on the way here i found out there still active " Yoruichi answered.
"I'm going there to capture the tailed beasts " Soifon stated as she gets up from the hospital bed .She's only wearing her g string like panties while in a patients robe.
"Hold it Soifon, it's too dangerous to try fighting him alone. You would need to wait until the Sanin is distracted " Yoruichi said to Soifon.
"Don't worry lady Yoruichi, i'm skilled at what i do " Soifon replied as she kisses Yoruichi in the mouth.
"Hold it Soifon, you need this " Yoruichi said to Soifon as she gives Soifon her captain's robe and Shinigmai outfit .
"Thanks Lady Yoruichi " Soifon repiled as she puts on her captains uniform.
"Come back here safely , my little bee " Yoruichi replied.
"Aren't you going to go with her ? " Unohana asked.
"Me and Kisuke are working on some preparations to capture the 9 tails right now besides with Shunsui and Ukitake acting as backup, Soifon would be fine .Kisuke just needs another hour to be ready " Yoruichi answered.
"Okay then " Unohana replied as she goes back to healing the wounded.
2 miles south of Jakuhō Raikōben crater
10: 20 A.M. Kurenai struggles to fight Byakuya off while he uses his Bankai. Kurenai struggles to evade the tendrils that come right at her .
"You can't escape my Senbonzakura Kageyoshi " Byakuya stated as he sends 6 tendrils right at Kurenai .
" Hananinjāto:Sagarisakura Sanranhōha(花忍者アート：下がり桜と散乱法葉 Flower Ninja Art: Falling Blossoms and Scattering Leaves) " Kurenai chanted as she releases hundreds of flower petals that rain down like shiurken but Byakuya easily blocks it with his Bankai "Damn it " Kurenai shouted.
"Those weak attacks won't work " Byakuya stated as he has 6 tendrils come at Kurenai but Kurenai manages to dodge them as each of them smash the ground creating 300 foot implosion wave, the total destruction of the attacks levels 50 buildings.
Kurenai rushes 600 feet east to try escaping the attack. Kurenai then uses Tiger, Rabbit and Horse handsgins while running.
"Hananinjāto: Hatsubai Baikaihana (花忍者アート：発売媒介の花 Flower Ninja Art: Release Mediated Flowers) " Kurenai chanted as she turns her flower petals into bombs which levels everything within a 600 foot radius but Byakuya shields himself from the blast that levels 20 buildings . Kurenai dodges another wave of tendrils aimed at her by getting 800 feet further east.
"You're not getting away " Byakuya shouted as he goes to attack Kurenai. Kurenai is then surrounded by a sphere of pink petals but Kurenai barely dodges and gets light cuts on her left arm, left check and right thigh.
"Damn it , he's too fast and strong. I need to find his weakpoint and take him out " Kurenai said to herself as she continues to dodge more attacks from Byakuya.
"Try escaping this " Byakuya calmly stated as he uses two hands to shoot a massive tendril the size of a energy beam right at Kurenai . Kurenai quickly does Tiger, → Hare → and Dragon handseals.
"Wind Style: Scattering Flower Dance " Kurenai chanted as she fires a massive wave of cyclone petals to match Byakuya's tendril and both attacks clash with each other.
" Not bad but using both of my hands allows me to increase the speed of my blades three fold" Byakuya stated to Kurenai as he pours more of his spiritual energy into his tendril and starts to push back Kurenai's wind blast.
"You're not going to win " Kurenai replied as she pours all her power into her blast which causes an explosion leveling everything within a 1,200 foot radius leveling 200 buildings.
"Not a bad counter " Byakuya stated only to see vines come out of the ground .
"Retsumame Ketsugō Sakkaku (列豆結合錯覚 String Bean Binding Illusion ) " Kurenai chanted as she ensnares Byakuya in her Illusions.
"You think this would be enough to stop me ? " Byakuya stoically asked.
"Magen: Jubaku Satsu (魔幻・樹縛殺 Demon Illusion: Tree Binding Death)" Kurenai chants as Byakuya is is about to be trapped in a a tree but he uses his reiastu to easily negate the tree .
"What? " Kurenai shouted shocked to see her genjustu canceled out.
" Sakuranoare(桜の荒れHailstorm of Cherry Blossoms) " Byakuya chanted as he turns all the scattered petals in the air to form thousands of ball like projectiles the size of baseballs and they rain down on Kurenai .
"Shit ! " Kurenai shouted as each of the balls explode with the explosive force of a grenade but moving at 14,666.6 ft/sec( 10,000 MPH ). they combined explosions level everything within a 1,000 foot radius leveling 50 buildings. Kurenai barely managed to block the attacks.
"Is this all you got ? You're quite a disappointment for a Jōunin. Without your Genjustu, you're barely any stronger than Renji " Byakuya said to Kurenai.
"Damn it,you figured me out Byakuya. You're even able to see through my Genjustu, i'll admit that out of the Jōunin here i'm the weakest in brute strength however ...i'm also the best in chakra control " Kunreai stated to Byakuya.
"What do you mean ? " Byakuya asked.
"Surely you don't think this was all i got . What i just showed you was just B rank Genjustu, let's see if you can handle A rank Genjustu " Kurenai answered.
" It doesn't matter how much Genjustu you use , you can never fool my eyes again " Byakuya replied.
" Let's see about that , Magen:Eienekō(魔幻・永遠エコー Demon Illusion:Eternal Echo) " Kurenai chanted as her voices echos and her body fades out.
"Another illusion , huh you can't fool me " Byakuya stated as he follows the sound of her footsteps as he hears Kurenai coming closer to him again. he then sees Kurenai behind him with her kunai knife behind him " Got you " Byakuya stated as he stabs his hand through her and uses his Bankai to send a tendril through her body but it was a illusion.
"It's useless to try using your eyes this time around " Kurenai stated as she stabs Byakuya in the back causing him to stagger.
"What ? ! How are you able to fool my senses again ? " Byakuya asked shocked to see that he's still trapped in Genjustu.
"Isn't it obvious ? I used Sound based Genjustu to trap you again " Kurenai stated as she comes right at him with a kunai to attack up close.
"Sound based Genjustu ?" Byakuya asked.
"Among all genjutsus, the most dangerous are those that affect the opponent with sound allowing the user to stay out of sight. It also makes it much harder to counter given you can't easily shut off soundwaves as you can with illusions " Kurenai stated as she comes at Byakuya with a horizontal slash aimed at his head but Byakuya uses Senbozakura to block the attack forming a shield around his body.
"I see, that's the secret to your technique. Then i'll have to find you then " Byakuya said to Kurenai as he closes his eyes and clams himself down.
"Not a bad move , however remember what i said earlier. I control the airwaves around you, i can use this to mask my presence and also use it to channel my sound through a wide area. It's impossible to escape a Genjustu user who can use the wind and sound to manipulate the reality around you " Kurenai said to Byakuya from a unknown distance.
"Damn it ! She's right , She can disguise her location and hide her reiastu at anytime while assaulting me with Genjustu that i won't see coming. Think Byakuya , there must be a weakness to her attacks " Byakuya said to himself as he struggles to find Kurenai's location.
" Take this !" Kurenai chanted as she throws a kunai at Byakuya but Byakuya blocks it with his Bankai easily.
"Do you think a puny kunai would be enough to beat me ? " Byakuya taunted only to see vines growing out from the ground.
"Magen:Mojiretsu Mamenōjō 魔幻・文字列豆農場Demon Illusion:String Bean Farm ) Kurenai chanted as she creates a massive wave of string beanstalk tendrils to engulf everything within a 800 foot radius.
" Damn it, if i'm caught . I'm in serious trouble " Byakuya said to himself as he jumps into the air and uses his Senbonzakura Kageyoshi to cut apart all the thousands of beanstalk tendrils coming after him. Kurenai then appears behind him and goes to attack him again .
"Got you this time " Kurenai shouted as she stabs him from behind with a kunai but it was an afterimage " What ? " Kurenai said shocked to see the after image only to see Byakuya behind her.
"Hadō #4. Byakurai (白雷, Pale Lightning) " Byakuya calmly chanted as he shoots through Kurenai's heart but he then sees the clone dispel and scatter into flowers.
"Shadow Clone Explosion " Kurenai chanted as the fake Kurenai blows up creating a 200 foot radius explosion of flower petals. Byakuya barely dodges the attack only to see 10 clones right in from of him .
"What ? " Byakuya asked shocked to see them .
"Shadow Clone Explosion " all the clones chanted as they all explode leveling everything within a 800 foot radius leveling 40 buildings . He then sees Kurenai seemingly exhausted from using that justu.
"Got you now, you used too much chakra in that last attack now you're done " Byakuya said to Kunreai as he comes at her with his tendrils and hit through her body but it was an illusion.
"You missed " Kurenai stated behind him.
"huh ? " Byakuya shocked to see her from behind.
"Magen: Hanarasui (魔幻・花霞 Demon Illusion: Flower Head Death ) " Kurenai chanted as she does a handseal to trap him in a giant flower bud.
"What the hell ? " Byakuya said shouted to see himself trapped in the flower bud.
" This is my own unique Genjustu. It traps the foe in a Genjustu while i gather air around the foe and turn their own chakra against them destroying them both physically and internally . You're finished " Kurenai explained to Byakuya as she then as the flower glow into white petals and then compresses into a ball and 10 more giant flower buds grow from the ground then vines grow from there and they all glow with pinkish white chakra and then explodes creating a 1,000 foot radius explosion which then forms a 1,000 foot diameter ,20,000 foot high tornado that lasts 10 seconds scattering flower petals everywhere.
The blast clears up to reveal that Byakuya is bleeding everywhere from his body. The blast created a massive 200 foot diameter, 40 foot deep crater. The blast leveled 100 buildings and scattered all the debris into colorful pink petals.
"He's dead and gone. No one would of survived having their brain and lugs imploded and lacerations throughout his body. Time to find that bitch " Kurenai said to herself as she walks away only to se Byakuya in front of her.
"Not a bad tactic but it didn't work " Byakuya said to Kurenai as he forms his Bankai into a pink sword and slash Kurenai across the chest causing her to fall down.
"Impossible, how did you escape my attack ? " Kurenai asked.
"Simple, when i hit you with my Sakuranoare(桜の荒れHailstorm of Cherry Blossoms) , i left a fragment of my Senbonzakura Kageyoshi inside your right arm to help me track you down . It was difficult to see through you sound based Genjustu but tracking you with my own reiastu in you, i was able to find you and then at the moment of your ultimate Genjustu, i used my full power to negate your chakra and manage to escape a spiltsecond using Bakdou # 71. Noren Mekuri (暖簾捲り, Curtain Stripping) to briefly see through the genjustu and Bakdou 69 Jigen misaki (次元岬 Dimensional Cape) to turn invisible, and can reappear anywhere nearby " Byakuya explained to Kurenai.
"How ? I saw you die in front of my eyes ? " Kurenai said shocked.
"It' simple, i used what you called Genjustu to trick you into thinking i was caught in your attack " Byakuya explained to Kurenai.
"What ? " Kurenai questioned .
"Bakudō # 90 . Kyūkyoku Sakushi ( 究極錯視 Ultimate Illusion ) is a high level Binding kido used to create a illusion within a large radius. While us Shinigmai don't have the versatility of skills you Shinobi process, our kidō could be just as effective as this spell makes you see exactly what i was thinking fooling even the best masters of illusion " Byakuya explained to Kurenai.
"How resourceful of you to combine kido attacks to find an opening in my Genjustu . I seriously underestimated you however you won't get lucky twice " Kurenai replied as she tries to use another Genjustu
"You won't get another try at that " Byakuya replied hits Kurenai with a large tendril which send her flying 1,330 feet away . Kurenai barely blocks the attack.
"Damn it ! " Kurenai shouted only to see herself surrounded by a cloud of petals.
" Gōkei (吭景, Pivotal Scene) " Byakuya chanted as he surrounds Kurenai in a 30 foot diameter done of blade fragments.
"Shit ! Wind Style: Scattering Flower Dance " Kurenai chanted as she fires a massive wave of cyclone petals the dome but it fails to dent it.
"It's impossible to break out of Gōkei .Gōkei (吭景, Pivotal Scene) creates a spherical formation of over 100 million tiny blade fragments, which swirl around the opponent like a cloud. It then flies into them from every possible angle, leaving no blind spots and no possibility to escape. It then collapses on itself, obliterating the opponent " Byakuya explained to Kurenai as Kurenai struggles to blast her way out of the dome.
" Shit ! " Kurenai shouted as she struggles to break out of the attack as the dome compresses towards her.
" Scatter Gōkei , Senbonzakura Kageyoshi " Byakuya chanted as he creates an implosion with all the blade Fragments hitting Kurenai and then he creates a massive explosion leveling everything within a 1,000 foot radius as Byakuya uses Shunpo to escape the blast.
The explosion levels 100 buildings and creates a blinding pink light engulfing everything within a mile radius and turning the clouds pinkish black within a 5 mile radius. The blade fragments form a 20,000 foot high pink mushroom cloud lasting for fall back to the ground as fallout . Byakuya uses shunpo to return to where Kurenai was at. The blast created a 200 foot diameter, 40 foot deep crater. Byakuya's Bankai reforges back into his sealed sword state.
"YOU BASTARD !" Kurenai shouted in pain as she gets back up from the attack. She gets back up from the ground with blood covering her entire body. Her Jōunin vest and her red pants have been ripped apart from the explosion exposing her red mesh armour blouse with only the right sleeve visible.
"It's amazing you can stand despite your level of injures and more surprising you were able to repel the fragments away from your vital organs neck and head as well as major arteries " Byakuya praised.
"I used my air barrier last second to reduce the damage. I barely survived you're attack " Kurenai stated.
"Well it looks like you won't be able to do anything in your current state. You're barely able to stand and your arms are too injured to do any handseals . You can only do at least one or two justus now whereas i have millions of blade fragments , you're too injured to continue this " Byakuya explained to Kurenai.
"Two justus are all i need to beat you . Kuchiyose Akaiha (口寄せ:赤い刃 Summoning Jutsu :Red Blade ). " Kurenai chanted as she summons a sword in her right hand while she holds a kunai in her left hand. Kurenai's sword is a katana with a crimson red blade with a flower shaped sword guard with thorn like hilt-wrapping .
"That's a fine sword you got there " Byakuya commented staring at her blade.
"You like it ? It's my blade i inheirted from my father. I'll use this to cut you down . It's called Akaiha (赤い刃 Red Blade ). It's my sword i used in the ANBU. It contains a special poison which slows down your senses and reaction time making it harder to break out my Genjustu " Kurenai explained to Byakuya as the blade glows with a pinkish red mist
"I see, still it doesn't matter, i can see through all your genjustu . Besides i'm the one of the fastest in the soul society, you can't catch me with that especially with the millions of blades i wield with my Senbonzakura Kageyoshi " Byakuya stated.
"I see, very well then , time to show you my ultimate justu " Kurenai replied as she does Tiger, Dog →, Snake →, Monkey →, Ox , → Tiger, Dog →, Hare →, Snake →, Ram, Dog, → Snake → Monkey →, Ox, → Tiger, Hare →, Snake →, Horse →, Ram →, Bird →, Tiger, → Hare → ,Snake →, Horse →, Ram →, Bird →, Tiger →, Hare → Snake →, Horse → ,Ram → ,Bird →, Dog, Rat, Tiger, → Boar →, Tiger →, Horse → and Ox handseals
"She's using so much handseals ? " Byakuya said to himself shocked to see her charka raise up. Kurenai then uses the blood on her arms to write a blood circle on the ground and draw a Kanji with the symbol of blood (血)
" Magen : Kurenai Hanano Chinomori ( 魔幻・ 紅花の血の森Demon Illusion: Crimson Flower Forest ) " Kurenai chanted as the blood circle glows with an red aura and releases a massive wave of red mist everywhere . After the release of the mist , a massive growth of trees appear everywhere within a 2,000 foot radius and the rain stops falling as the sky turns dark red and dark red tree leaves fall from the sky.
"What's going on ? " Byakuya asked.
" This is Magen : Kurenai Hanano Chinomori ( 魔幻・ 紅花の血の森Demon Illusion: Crimson Flower Forest ) . My own unique Genjustu hence the name . This is the justu that helped me become a Jōunin , it turns my own blood infused within chakra to a mist controlled by my wind to affect anyone with my Genjustu. There's no escaping my Genjustu now. This is my ultimate defense and my ultimate offense for this a S-rank Genjustu" Kurenai explained to Byakuya.
"S -rank ? That's impossible, those techniques are around Kage level " Byakuya stated.
"You're right, remember what i told about my power ? In terms of brute strength, i'm the weakest of the Jōunin class fighters however my Genjustu and Ninjustu abilities are that of a Kage . Consider yourself to be the 5th person to ever see this ability " Kurenai said to Byakuya as she then fades out.
" Where did she go ? " Byakuya said to himself as he is then struck down by a kunai and staggers back.
" You fought well against my Genjustu so far however without a Sharrigan, your not anywhere close to negating this justu. " Kurenai said to Byakuya as she goes to attack him. Byakuya goes to strike her with a tendril but the tendril comes right back at Byakuya.
"What ? " Byakuya said shocked to see the tendril as it hits him in the face and knocks him through 10 illusions trees which are really 10 buildings.
"You're under my control Byakuya. You're attacks are now useless against me. Trying to attack me while under my ultimate genjustu is an futile enveador given that it would simply bounce right back at you. With the wind currents forming the genjustu/ninjustu barrier, your own kidō attacks and Bankai attacks are useless against me " Kurenai explained to Byakuya.
Meanwhile at Konoha General Hospital
Kiba, Hinata and Shino sense Kurenai's power from a distance .
"Kurenai sensei is giving it all she got against her opponent " Kiba said to Shino and Hinata.
"Indeed, it makes you wonder how much power she was holding back when she challenged us to that bell test " Shino replied.
"I know that justu. It's Kurenai's Magen : Kurenai Hanano Chinomori ( 魔幻・ 紅花の血の森Demon Illusion: Crimson Flower Forest ) " Hinata said to them.
"What ? " Shino asked.
"It was back during my training with Kurenai " Hinata answered as she thinks back to the past.
6 months ago
Hinata's Pov
I remember the last time i trained with Kurenai shortly before she was pregnant . I went to train with her to get stronger.
"Why are you so nervous Hinata ? " she asked me.
"I'm just not strong enough ,everyone else is stronger than me at this point. Even Sakura who was the weakest 2 years ago is now more powerful than i am. I would never be able impress Naruto Kun with this level of power " i said to my teacher.
"That's your problem right there . You doubt yourself too much , your power is strong but your resolve is weak Hinata . You tend to underestimate your own power . You have the potential of surpassing your brother ,i f you can use that power at will , you would become the level of a Jōunin like your cousin Neji and prove to your father that you're worthy of the Main branch title " Kurenai said to me.
"There's no way i can ever be as strong as Neji. He's even stronger than you Kurneai " i replied.
"That may be true however you have the potential to do so, right now your power is only that of a high level Chūnin at the lowest reading and a Mid level Special Jōunin at best. In order to stay evenly matched with a Jōunin , you would need to harden your resolve
"That's actually easier said than done " i said to Kurenai.
"Then i would strengthen your resolve " she replied as she came at me with 5 exploding kunai . I dodge the hits and go up into the air. She then appears and kicks me down. She then dashes towards me and attacks me with full force hitting me into a large rock.
"Damn it ! " i said to her.
"Retsumame Ketsugō Sakkaku (列豆結合錯覚 String Bean Binding Illusion ) " Kurenai chanted as she tries to ensnare me in her Illusions but i dodge the attack and avoids the vines that extend 300 feet away.
"Byakugan " i chanted as i see through her Genjustu only to see wind tendrils coming at me then they spread out.
" Just because you can see through Genjustu doesn't mean you can stop it's effects Magen: Jubaku Satsu (魔幻・樹縛殺 Demon Illusion: Tree Binding Death)" Kurenai said to me as i was completely robbed of my mobility as i saw the mirage of a tree coiling itself around me.
" Damn it , i had no idea you could use wind " i said to her.
"Like i said, you would need Byakugan on the level of your father to stop my attacks .Wind Style: Scattering Flower Dance(風遁・花散舞 Fūton: Hanachiri Mai) " Kurenai chanted as she summons a cyclone of petals in a horizontal direction form both her hands.
" Hakkeshō Kaiten ( 八卦掌回天 Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation ) " i chanted as i cancel out her Genjustu and negate the wind blast and create a 100 foot diameter crater in the ground.
"Not bad Hinata but your still not fighting at all you got " Kurenai said to Hinata.
"but i'm out of chakra , my body could barely move and your far too powerful for me to take on, you were able to defeat even Kiba in his two headed wolf state and Shino's insects barely kept up with you " i said to her.
"That's your problem , your weak because you fear your own limitations. You need to fight that fear of yours. You can never win a battle with fear in your heart. You are like a cub to a lions den, if you don't mature into a lion , you would never be able to protect Naruto " she said to me.
"Huh? " i said shocked to hear her said those words.
"I know about how you feel about Naruto . I don't even need to read minds to tell your true feelings for her " she said to me.
"Your right , i always wanted to thank Naruto for giving me the resolve to fight . Next time he needs help, i would help him. " i replied as i cover my body with dense chakra and my eyes glow blue.
That's where i found my resolve , at that very moment that's where i found my resolve .
"That's more like it Hinata, now to encourage you more, i'll use my ultimate justu on you Magen : Kurenai Hanano Chinomori ( 魔幻・ 紅花の血の森Demon Illusion: Crimson Flower Forest ) " she chanted as she created a crimson forest with almost everything being red.
Present day
3rd person pov
"It was that training that i learned my Jūho Sōshiken Raionhāto(柔歩双獅拳:ライオンハートGentle Step Twin Lion Fists : Lionheart ) " Hinata explained to them.
"It's amazing , to think sensei had a justu that powerful " Shino said to Hinata.
"She held back on me in the fight. She could of destroyed me any second if she desired " Hinata stated.
"How powerful was the justu ? " Kiba asked.
"It was so powerful that it felt like she was reading my mind . She countered my every move while under that Genjustu and i was close to dying in one case but i then used my Jūho Sōshiken Raionhāto to catch her by surprise "Hinata explained to them.
"Our sensei is something else " Kiba replied.
Meanwhile at the Hyūga district
Hitsugaya and Neji clash attacks with each other. Neji dodges a series of 5 ice dragon strikes from Hitsugaya's Bankai. The entire neighborhood is buried under 5 feet of snow and ice . Neji and Hitsugaya clash there swords together, creating a 100 foot shockwave with each clashing blow. Neji comes at Hitsugaya's face with a lunging blow charged up but Hitsugaya manages to use Shunpo to escape. Everything around them is engulfed in a blizzard.
"Not bad but let's see how you handle this Guncho Tsurara (群鳥氷柱, Icicle Flock) " Hitsugaya chanted as he shoots 120 kunai like ice projectiles at Neji.
"Gentle Fist Art:Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms (八卦百二十八掌, Hakke Hyaku Nijūhachi Shō) " Neji chanted as he uses 128 strikes to cancel out all of Hitsugaya.
"He managed to deflect all of them " Hitsugaya said to himself shocked to see that happen.
Neji then uses Shunshin to move at 16,500 ft/sec (11,250 MPH) to appear behind Hitsugaya.
"Hakke Shitenkūshō (八卦四天空掌 Eight Trigrams Ultimate Wind ) " Neji chanted as he uses one air palm to send Hitsugaya flying into a 10 story building 300 feet away. He hits him with two smaller air palms then spins around and does a two handed sky palm causing a massive wind blast leveling the building behind Akon and destroying everything within a 1,600 foot semi circle radius and leveling 500 buildings.
Hitsugaya used his ice wings to shield himself from the blast and gets back up to fight again. Hitsugaya uses a series of 10 ice dragons to attack Neji but Neji uses the chakra around his fingertips to cut through the dragons. Neji then sees Hitsugaya above him.
"Mōda # 5 Katate hanmāshinguru (片手ハンマーシングルSingle handed hammer) " Hitsugaya chanted as he swing s his sword down like a hammer hitting the ground and causing a 300 foot implosion wave freezing everything there. Hitsugaya then sees a flashbomb go off and blind him and Neji moves up close to Hitsugaya.
" Got you this time, game over Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms (柔拳法・八卦六十四掌, Jūkenhō: Hakke Rokujūyon Shō) " Neji chanted as he comes right at Hitsugaya. "Two Palms " Neji chanted as he uses two consecutive strikes to make two "Four Palms" Neji chanted as he uses another two consecutive strikes to make four " Eight Palms " Neji chanted as he lands four consecutive strikes to make eight " Sixteen Palms , eight consecutive strikes to make sixteen " Thirty Two Palms " Neji chanted as he uses sixteen consecutive strikes to make thirty two "Eight Trigrams Sixty Four Palms " Neji chanted as he does another thirty two consecutive strikes in succession to make a total of sixty four strikes smashing Hitsugaya through a 10 story building.
"Damn it !" Hitsugaya stated as the smoke clears up.
"What's the meaning of this ? I hit him directly, why can i still sense his charka " Neji said to himself as he then sees Hitsugaya covered in ice around his body and sees the ice chip off him.
"Kōriōga Sōkō ( 氷王が装甲Armor of the Ice King ) " Hitsugaya chanted as his ice skin shatters protecting him of his wounds.
"You shielded yourself with ice ? " Neji said to Hitsugaya shocked to see this.
"That was too close , I would of been knocked of my Bankai had not for that. You said you can release chakra from your body right ? Kōriōga Sōkō ( 氷王が装甲Armor of the Ice King ) transforms my ice into a temporary shield as thick as steel to shield me form fatal wounds using my reiastu and negates any reiastu or chakra . This is formed by condensing and freezing the sweat pores in my body " Hitsugaya explained to Neji.
"I see, however you seem to lose chakra doing so given that petal of your has withered " Neji replied as Hitsugaya notices one of the 12 petals gone on his Bankai.
"Damn he has a point , my Kōriōga Sōkō ( 氷王が装甲Armor of the Ice King ) could negate fatal wounds of even lethal blows to the heart, neck head and julgar veins however it uses too much reiastu and cost me a petal out of the 12 petals meaning i can only use this 12 times before my Bankai expires " Hitsugaya said to himself.
"I already know your weaknesses about your bankai based on Kakashi's report. While your bankai is very powerful, it's power is limited to the fact it uses up too much reiastu at once and you can barely maintain it for more than 20 minutes . You're a terrible matchup to my Gentle fist style " Neji explained to Hitsugaya.
"Well i'll just have to kill you before my Bankai runs out " Hitsugaya replied "Hyōryū Senbi (氷竜旋尾, Ice Dragon Swirling Tail)" Hitsugaya shouts as he swings his sword in a linear direction and creates overflowing ice from his blade in the form of a crescent wave at Neji .The ice then extends upward "Zekku (絶空, Void Sever)" Hitsugaya shouts as he lifts his sword to control his Hyouryū Senbi technique and send it up into the air. Neji dodges the attack dodging the spikes that go along with while using his chkara to step on the ice.
"Hakke Shitenkūshō (八卦四天空掌 Eight Trigrams Ultimate Wind ) " Neji chanted as he fires a barrage of 10 air palms but Hitsugaya dodges the blasts which level 50 buildings. Hitsugaya then counters with his own attack
"Kyodai Hiryū (巨大氷竜 Giant Ice Dragon) " Hitsugaya chanted as he shoots a 75 foot Chinese dragon at Neji but Neji dodges the attack and creates a 1,000 foot radius explosion leveling 50 buildings.
"Hakke Kūshō (双昇龍 Eight Trigrams Air Palm) " Neji countered as he fires a compressed air wave at Hitsugaya with his left palm . Hitsugaya blocks the attack with his Bankai only to see Neji come behind him "Jūken: Shinzō Inshōfera (柔拳心臓印象フェラ Gentle Fist :Heart Striking Blow ) " Neji chanted as she does a lunging chop at Hitsugaya and hit his heart casing Hitsugaya to stagger but it was a clone.
"Zanhyō Ningyō (残氷人形, "Lingering Ice Puppet/Doll") " Hitsugaya chanted as he reveals himself to be an ice clone and Neji is surrounded by ice.
"What ? " Neji said shocked to see it was a fake.
"Kōridama Keimusho( 氷球刑務所 Ice Sphere Prison)" Hitsugaya shouts as he turns all the water he absorbed and all the water from his ice clone into a massive ice orb.
"What the hell?" Neji states.
"Kōridama Keimusho( 氷球刑務所 Ice Sphere Prison) anything that has come in contact with water vapor would be frozen within a ice prison that is powerful enough to freeze even the Reiastu of the opponent, you water justu gave me more than enough to trap you inside there." Hitsugaya explained to Neji.
" Damn it" Neji replied .
"Time to end this Sennen Hyōrō (千年氷牢, Thousand Years' Ice Prison)" Hitsugaya surrounds Neji with ice pillars to trap him .
"Jūkenpō Ichigekishin(柔拳法一撃身Gentle Fist Art One Blow Body) " Neji chanted as he expels chakra from every chakra point on his body to create an explosive wave to break out of Sennen Hyōrō.
Neji charges at Hitsugaya but Hitsugaya catches his arm and then uses his Zanpakutō block a second palm strike from Neji's right hand. They struggle to overpower each other but Neji goes behind Hitsugaya and kicks him into the ground .
"Guncho Tsurara (群鳥氷柱, Icicle Flock) " Hitsugaya chanted as he shoots 150 kunai like ice projectiles at Neji.
"Hakkeshō Kaiten ( 八卦掌回天 Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation ) " Neji chanted as he spins around negating the attack.
Neji then appears behind him using Shunshin with a roundhouse kick but Hitsugaya does a roll to avoid it and dodges a few kicks aimed at him. Hitsugaya counters by using Shunpo to appear behind him to do a sweeping slash next to Neji's neck but Neji dodges the attack and goes for a punch but Hitsugaya grabs his hand. They gain some distance and goes to strike each other.
"Ryūsenka (竜霰花, Dragon Hail Flower) " Hitsugaya chanted as he dashes towards Neji .
"Jūken: Shinzō Inshōfera (柔拳心臓印象フェラ Gentle Fist :Heart Striking Blow ) " Neji chanted as he does a lunging chop at Hitsugaya. They're attacks clash and create a 1,000 foot explosion with there Reiastu leveling 50 buildings.
"Not bad, you're strength is highly formidable however it's time we end this " Hitsugaya said to Neji as Hitsugaya charges up spiritual energy.
"Very well then ! " Neji replied as he charges up chakra around his hands.
They both get 4,000 feet from each other with Neji being in the west end and Hitsugaya being at the east end.
"Hakke Hasangeki (八卦破山撃Eight Trigrams Mountain Break Attack )" Neji chanted as he fires a dense wave of chakra from a 4,000 foot distance from Hitsugaya.
"Hiryūhō (氷竜砲Ice Dragon Cannon ) " Hitsugaya chanted as he uses both hands on his sword to shoot a dense beam of blue energy traveling to meet the wind blast and both attacks collide with each other at the 2,000 foot mark. The blast collide and causes a 3,000 foot radius explosion leveling 1,500 buildings.
Hitsugaya looks around to see where Neji went only to see him gone.
"Where did he go ? " Hitsugaya asked as he then sees Neji right in front of him.
"Zesshō: Hachimon Hōgeki (絶招・八門崩撃Last Resort: Eight Gates Assault ) " Neji chants as he hits Hitsugaya with his right palm which forms a green trigram seal on Hitsugaya which sends Hitsugaya flying through a building.
"Damn it ! " Hitsugaya shouted as he loses 6 of his petals.
"With the Zesshō: Hachimon Hōgeki seal on you, i cut your chakra flow in half . Now you're at a disadvantage against me " Neji said to Hitsugaya as he comes at Hitsugaya.
"Damn it ! " Hitsugaya replied as he shoots a ice dragon at Neji but Neji runs through it and almost hits Hitsugaya.
"Like i said to you before, you're chakra is cut in half while my power hasn't weakened " Neji stated.
"Damn you !" Hitsugaya shouted as he struggles to stand holding on to his injured stomach and the tirgram seal on his stomach.
"You're chakra has been greatly restricted from you and you're now barely strong enough to injure me " Neji explained to Hitsugaya.
"We'll see about that Kyodai Hiryū (巨大氷竜 Giant Ice Dragon) " Hitsugaya chanted as he shoots a 75 foot Chinese dragon at Neji but Neji uses one hand to block it with ease.
"Hakke Kūshō (双昇龍 Eight Trigrams Air Palm) " Neji countered as he fires a compressed air wave at Hitsugaya with his left palm which sends Hitsugaya flying a good distance from Neji.
Meanwhile at the Menna district
Mayuri chases Shizune down with his Bankai . Shizune dodges the massive charging caterpillar as it goes through a row of 10 houses pursuing Shizune. Mayuri then has the creature shoot more poison at Shizune which causes her to slow down as he skin turns purplish and she struggles to move.
"It's amazing you were able to hold out against my Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō however there is no resistance to the poison once it takes effect on you " Mayuri explained to Shizune.
"Damn it,it can't end this way " Shizune replied as she gets back up and goes to fight again.
Mayuri has its massive caterpillar chase Shizune 3,300 feet away leveling 30 buildings in the path . Shizune then sees the caterpillar leap 500 feet in the air to attack her but Shizune dodges as the caterpillar causes a 600 foot radius implosion wave leveling 20 buildings. Mayuri then appears behind her with his sealed sword and goes to slash her but shes uses her kunai to block the strike.
"Don't be fooled, i can still attack with my sealed sword while using Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō " Mayuri explained to Shizune as she struggles to move as the poison decreases her speed and causes her to feel more pain.
"Most impressive, so you're the first to ever counter my Ashisogi Jizō 's poison, especially in it's Bankai are quite a fascinating human specimen indeed, all the reason i need to capture you alive. You shinobi are going to be fun dissecting, with half your puppets gone , it's best you give up while your ahead" Mayuri stated.
"Ninja Art: Senbon Rainstorm(如雨露千本 Jouro Senbon) " Shizune stated as she creates a rain of 1,000 senbon at Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō which all explode but the needles do very little damage to the bankai.,
"I should tell you that whoever has ingested the poison loses attack power as well. The poison drastically decreases the persons reiastu level while creating a painful paralysis which takes effect immediately After 5 minutes, you would be dead " Mayuri explained to Shizune as he comes at Shizune'
"Wind Style: Devastation " Shizune chanted as she shoots a massive blast of wind from her mouth that causes a 500 foot radius explosion leveling 15 buildings but Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō charges right at Shizune.
"Burēdoshotto (ブレードショットBlade shot)" Mayuri chants as his Bankai shoots 20 sword blades towards Shizune but she dodges the attack but she's about to be eaten by the large caterpillar.
"Got you now " Mayuri shouted as the bankai comes right at Shizune but Shizune barely dodges the attack and then appears behind Mayuri
"Chakra Dissection Blades (チャクラのメスChakura no Mesu) " Shizune chanted as she slashes Mayrui with a powerful vertical slash as the attack creates a 500 foot long fissure in the ground but the slash doesn't even starch Mayuri " What ? " Shizune asked shocked to see him uncut.
"You're too weak " Mayuri replied as he slashes her with his Zanpakutō. Shizune staggers back with a gash across her chest and with the poison spreading across her body. Shizune falls to the ground face first unable to move her body at all .
"I must say, You did better than i expected. To fight against me for a full 5 minutes and still live under Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō is a rather impressive feat however your body has it's limits like all other humans. Now that you're completely paralyzed and unable to move at all, you'll die in 5 minutes flat " Mayuri explained
"Damn it ! " Shizune replied trying to move.
"Let's talk then , if you agree to become my research project, i promise you that i would give you special treatment " Mayuri stated.
"What special treatment ? " Shizune asked.
"If you work for me, I'll treat you well. In case you are worried, I am really gentle with female subjects. How about this? I'll give you top class special treatment. I'll only drug you eight times a day and only four hours of machine operations a day. You will eat with your mouth and when you sleep, I'll give you clothes. And I'll stay away from any life-threatening operations if I operate on you. How about it? This is a special offer that I've never offered to any test subject before" Mayuri explained to Shizune.
"You can blow it out your ass " Shizune replied.
"Then i'll take you by force. Such a beautiful body you process " Mayuri creepily stated.
"What are you planning to do ? " Shizune asked.
"What a stupid question you ask. What do you think i'll do to a fine female capture ? Since you rejected my offers of becoming my servant by your own free will, i'll capture you and make you my sex slave " Mayuri replied as he walks towards her and goes to grab her .
"Let go of me " Shizune shouted.
"I would love to make use of your body starting now " Mayuri smiled as he throws down Shizune and forcefully removes her clothes.
"Got you ! " Shizune stated with a smirk on her face as she then slashes Mayuri cutting his right arm off and she leaps away from him unfazed by the poison.
"ARRRRGH ! My arm " Mayuri shouted as he screams in pain trying to hold on to his arm socket.
" I got you now ! Your poison no longer has an effect on me " Shizune said to Mayuri.
"Damn it, that's impossible. You couldn't have possibly developed a cure against my Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō " Mayuri said shocked to see Shizune back up healed of her poison.
"I must admit, your poison is very potent . It's enough to affect even a Dokuton user myself " Shizune stated
"Dokuton ? " Mayuri asked.
"Dokuton(毒遁,Poison Release ) is my own unique Kekkai Genkai that has the ability to produce and control different types of poison, as well as grant immunity to all forms of poison. Your poisons are pretty powerful to affect me even for a while but i'm afraid they would no longer work against me " Shizune explained to Mayuri
"Damn it ! " Mayuri replied as he restores his arm with a serum while pissed off at losing his arm . After healing his arm, he clenched his fist to break the needle in his newly restored hand.
"Dokuton(毒遁,Poison Release ) combines Wind, earth and water and mix it with the cells in my body to create a toxic poison which destroys everything in it's path " Shizune explained to Mayuri.
"What do you mean by that ? " Mayuri questioned.
"Allow me to demonstrate this toxic poison " Shizune replied as she goes to attack Mayuri.
What the hell ? " Mayuri asked as he sees Shizune charging up chakra.
"Dokugiri(毒霧Poison Mist) " Shizune chanted as she shoots a massive cloud of poison gas at Mayuri.
" Absorb it Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō" Mayuri commanded as the massive caterpillar absorbs the poison however the poison causes the Bankai to instantly melt and become nothing but purple goo " What ? "
"Anything that is caught in my poison is instantly eroded away . Chakra, skin, tissue, metal, it doesn't matter. It's incredibly fast acting and dissolves the target in seconds until there nothing but a pile of smoldering guck . There is no cure to my poison " Shizune explained to Mayuri as she speards the wave of poison towards Mayuri.
" Shit, even a breath of that mist would end my life " Mayuri said to himself as he tries to evade the poison but is hit by the poison and starts to dissolve " ARRRGH ! " Mayuri screamed as his body begins to break down but it's revealed to be a portable gigal. The wave of poison melts everything within a 1,000 foot radius and melted 50 buildings.
"Where did he go ? " Shizune asked herself as she looks around for him. Mayuri meanwhile hides out using his cloaking device.
"This is bad! I wasn't expecting this level of poison. If i'm hit even once by the poison, i'll a goner " Mayuri though to himself.
Meanwhile at the Hokage palace
Tsunade detects Shizune's rising chakra level and senses her poison element.
"Looks like Shizune activated her Dokuton " Tsunade said to Katsuyu.
"It seems whoever is fighting her is as good as dead " Tsunade smiled thinking about Shizune's power.
"How so ? " Katsuyu asked.
"Even avoiding the initial toxic wave, Shizune's poison leaves a weaker yet still toxic fume around anything she hits with her poison release and poison mist. The mist is so fatal that it makes even Hanzō 's poison seem mild in comparison " Tsunade explained.
"What ? Even his poisons? Hanzō's poisons kill in five minutes " Katsuyu questioned.
"Shizune's poison mist and her poisons cause instant death even just breathing in a small amount of her poison. Her poison is corrosive and starts to rot away the cells in your body causing death between 5 to 30 seconds. The result is horrific death with your lungs and internal organs melting and your skin bubbling and corroding until you're no more " Tsunade answered explaining the extent of Shizune's poisons.
"I had no clue she was this powerful " Katsuyu stated.
"It seems she's not the only one going full power. Kurneai and Neji have decided to unleash their full power as well " Tsunade said to Katusyu
"What strong amounts of power " Katsuyu stated.
" Indeed , still there power is nothing compare to the threat already in this village . The 10 tails himself " Tsunade replied.
Meanwhile 8 miles west of the main gate
Ichigo rushes through the main road looking for Naruto when encounters 30 more shinobi.
" It's the substitute Shinigmai , get him " said one of the shinobi.
" More shinobi, these guys are a pesk " Ichbigo said to himself as he goes to fight more of them barehanded .
"Attack ! " they all shouted as they all come at Ichigo but Ichigo uses Shunpo to knock all of them out with ease with the hilt of his Zangestu.
"You guys aren't even worth my time " Ichigo taunted as he leaves the area turning up north to the Yamanaka district.
Meanwhile at the Inuzuka district
Uryu heads out to search for Naruto within the city . He comes across a bridge leveled from the fight between Kiba and Ikkau.
"I got to find the Ninetails soon " Uryu thought to himself only to be surrounded by 10 ANBU agents.
"We found one of the Shinigmai disguised as Benji " said one of the ANBU members.
"Don't move " said another ANBU member.
"Drop your weapon " said a third ANBU member pointing a sword to Uryu's back.
"Very well then " Uryu replied as he drops a thin, silver-colored weapon on the ground. The ANBU go to pick it up while Uryu draws a bow out.
"What the hell ? said the ANBU leader.
"Don't compare me to a shinigmai " Uryu replied as he fires one arrow at them. The arrow hits each of there swords ricocheting until it hits part of the destroyed bridge destroying it.
"Shit, here's too strong. Retreat for now " said the ANBU leader as they all retreated from the area.
"That takes care of that nuisance, now time to find Naruto " Uryu said to himself as he crosses the river.
Meanwhile at Konoha General Hospital
Chad walks with several shinobi into the hospital where he meets Sakura.
"Come in " Sakura said to the shinobi.
"We found another civilian within the village " said one of the shinobi.
" Bring him in " Sakura commanded.
"Yes madam "one of the shinobi replied as Chad is carried inside the building.
"Please have a seat young man " Sakura said to Chad.
"Yes madam " Chad repiled as he sits down at the table and Sakura checks his body using healing justu.
"Something's off about this guy " Sakura said to herself.
"I can probably take this girl hostage and h try to draw Naruto out this way. Given she's a medical ninja, her strength would most likely be very well " Chad said to himself.
"You need help good sir ? " Sakura asked.
"It's my arm, it hurts a bit " Chad answered .
"Go ahead " Sakura replied only to be put in a sleeperhold by Chad.
"Now come quietly with me " Chad said to Sakura.
"I knew it, you're an enemy spy " Sakura said to him as it was revealed to be a log.
"What? " Chad said shocked to see Sakura gone and he's suddenly hit down by Sakura's elbow which smashes him into the ground " UUGGGHH !"
"Your chakra is too high to be a normal civilian, yet your still a human like me. Interesting to encounter another human here " Sakura said to Chad as she goes to punch Chad again but Chad rolls out the way which causes the entire building to shake.
Meanwhile downstairs, Ino and Choji feel the shaking as well as everyone else in the building.
"What's going on ? " Ino asked.
"It sounds like Sakura " Choji answered.
"There must be an intruder upstairs fighting her " Inoichi stated.
"Whoever is trying to attack this hospital is in serious trouble " Ino replied.
Back upstairs, Chad in base form dodges Sakura's punches and goes to punch her but she dodges . Chad is then surrounded by 10 shinobi.
"Surrender die " said one of the shinobi.
" Never " Chad replied as he creates an energy blast hitting the ground causing smoke to engulf the area.
"Damn him " Sakura shouted as she then goes to pursue Chad.
Meanwhile at Sōkyoku Hill
Shunsui and Ukitake are on top of the massive 1 mile long, 2,500 foot wide and 1,000 foot high hill which is 100 feet wide at the tip of the hill next to the Sōkyoku with 700 other Shinigmai at the hill.
"Everyone ready ? " Ukitake asked.
"We're all ready " all the Shinigmai answered.
"Very well then, let's all head out in an orderly fashion " Shunsui commanded as they activate the Senkaimon .
"Yes captain " the Shinigmai replied as they all head out to Konoha.
Meanwhile 2 miles northeast of Konoha
Jiraiya, Naruto, Kakashi ,Yamato and Gai arrive at the city limits of the village to see nothing but smoke and destruction coming from the village.
"What happened to the village ? " Naruto said to Kakashi shocked to see the village destroyed.
"They really let loose in the village " Jiraiya said to Naruto.
"Those bastards are going to pay for this " Naruto shouted in intense anger as he dashes towards the village
"Naruto wait, don't go without us " Kakashi shouted as he tires to go after Naruto but is stopped by Jiraiya.
"Naruto could handle himself now . If things get too out of hand, i'll help him , our priority is to get Yamato to Tsunade ASAP " Jiraiya said to them.
Suddenly they sense a series of powers coming from the village. They sense Kunreai fighting against
"What's going on ? Why is Kurenai in the battlefield " Kakashi asked.
"This isn't good, i'm also not sensing Asuma's chakra anywhere either " Gai stated.
"Shizune and Neji are also in a fight but i'm not sensing all the other fighters in the village. They must of all been token by surprise in this battle " Jiraiya said to Gai and Kakashi.
"Why isn't Tsunade stopping Kurenai ? She's pregnant, she would be putting the baby at risk " Kakashi questioned.
"Tsunade is probably busy trying to heal and evacuate the entire village " Jiraiya answered.
"We got to help Kurenai " Kakashi said to Jiraiya.
"Go right ahead. You and Gai should go and stop her while i bring Yamato to a doctor " Jiraiya commanded.
"Okay then " Kakashi replied as he leaps off the frog .
"We'll make sure she's alive and well " Gai replied as he follows Kakashi to the village as both of them run on foot.
Meanwhile at Squad 4 campgrounds
Akon, Rin and Hiyosu sense terrible things happening within there computer.
'This is bad , Byakuya, Hitsugaya and even out captain is being overwhelmed by powerful shinobi " Akon said to his men.
"Captain Kurostchi is the one who seems in the most trouble. His health is rapidly decreasing and his vital signs are starting to fail " Rin explained.
"That's impossible, poison shouldn't work against him " Hiyosu stated.
"Our captain's opponent has 30,000 RYK,she's just as powerful as Kurotsuchi yet it seems like the captain is at a disadvantage" Akon replied.
"There's also Byakuya , his foe is somehow winning the fight " Hiyosu stated.
"He's fighting a Jōunin , there shouldn't be much of a surprise " Rin retorted.
"What's unusual is the low amount of Reiastu this fighter has. The fighter only has 25,000 RYK but it suddenly shoots up to 125,000 RYK every few seconds out of nowhere " Akon explained to Rin.
" Byakuya shouldn't be losing this badly , he has 50,000 RYK to 300,000 RYK in Bankai. What technique is his opponent using to gain such an upper hand on him ? " Rin asked.
"That's not the only thing, Hitsugaya's reaistu was cut in half by his opponent " Akon explained to them.
"What ? " Rin asked shocked to hear this.
" Hitsugaya should have at least 60,000 RYK Bankai base . Right now hes only with 30,000 RYK. His foes power went up from 36,000 RYK to 72,000 RYK " Akon stated.
" How can such a huge power increase and decrease happen at the same time ? " Hiysou questioned.
"I have no way of knowing that " Akon replied.
Meanwhile at the otherside of the campground. Rukia meets up with Renji again.
"About time you showed up " Renji said to Rukia.
"How are things going for Byakuya ? " Rukia asked.
"It's not looking good for him, we got to go save him " Renji answered.
"How serious is it ? " Rukia asked.
"Very serious, i have been waiting for you to get back here so you can help me out " Renji answered.
"Let's get going " Rukia replied as they head out of the campground to help Byakuya.
2 miles southeast of Jakuhō Raikōben crater
10 :25 A.M. Byakuya struggles to fight Kurenai in the never ending maze of trees. Byakuya dodges more attacks from Kurenai 's genjustu and tries to find an opening. Byakuya struggles to stand after being stabbed 5 times by Kurenai. Byakuya and Kurenai are within a 3,300 foot diameter nearly invisible dome filled with pink mist.
"Looks like your losing control of your own senses and your speed is decreasing " Kurenai said to him as she comes at him with her blade but Byakuya blocks the attack with his Bankai forming a sphere around him but the sphere turns against him and damages Byakuya .
"What's going on ? Why are you attacking me Senbozakura ? " Byakuya asked.
"I'm not, it's that this justu she activated is turning our attacks against us " Senbozakura answered.
" Looks like you figured it out " Kurenai stated right behind him as she goes for a vertical slash aiming at Byakuya's back but Byakuya manages to dodge the slash but is stabbed in the chest by Kurenai .
"Damn it " Byakuya shouted staggering back from the pain as his chest is leaking out a pinkish red mist as he holds on to his chest.
"Looks like your more vulnerable to my Genjustu now " Kurenai said to Byakuya as she then goes on the offensive sending a wave of vines at Byakuya.
" Damn it " Byakuya said to himself struggling to stay calm as he uses his tendrils to cut the vines into pieces .
"Byakuya behind you " Senbozakura warned as he sees tree branches extend towards Byakuya.
"Got you now Magen: Shiten Setsudan (魔幻・支店を切断Demon Illusion: Severing Branch ) " Kurenai chanted to herself as she has thousands of sharp branches come at Byakuya .
"Impossible, i didn't even hear her chant the attack " Byakuya said to himself as her shields himself with his Bankai
"That again. I told you it won't work " Kurenai said to Byakuya telepathically as she almost hits Byakuya with his own attack.
"How are you able to talk to me in my head ? " Byakuya asked.
"Isn't it obvious ? I already said that you're under my control Byakuya. You're attacks are now useless against me. Trying to attack me while under my ultimate genjustu is an futile endeavor given that it would simply bounce right back at you. With the wind currents forming the genjustu/ninjustu barrier, your own kidō attacks and Bankai attacks are useless against me " Kurenai explained to Byakuya.
"I see, so you're controlling my mind ? " Byakuya asked.
"Nope, just controlling the five senses in your body and combining it wind release chakra to turn everything you do against me right back at you . I can even able to enter the subconscious of a person to see their true nature. The extent of my abilities are unmatched in Kurenai Hanano Chinomori. Combined with my father's Akaiha which slows down your senses and reaction time, you can never break free of my Genjustu " Kurenai explained to Byakuya .
"Damn it ! " Byakuya stated as he struggles to stand up.
"Now time to end this by turning your own true nature against you Tamashī Shōkyo (魂をの消去 Soul Purge)" Kurenai said to Byakuya as she puts her hand out and distorts the area around them.
Byakuya looks around to see that they are within his manor at the courtyard at his parents grave .
"What's going on ? Is this real ? " Byakuya asked himself.
"Byakuya snap out of it, it's just an illusion " Senbozakura answered.
Suddenly Byakuya encounters his father again .
"Father what are you doing here ? " Byakuya asked.
"Bankai : Benitenshisōkō (紅天使羽装甲 Bloody Angel Armor ) " Sōjun shouted as he creates red samurai armor covering his body and red angel wings to come out his back. His katana is now a red broadsword.
"What are you doing ? " Byakuya asked as he sees his own father attack him up close.
"He's just an illusion created by your enemy based on the past events of your life " Senbozakura said to Byakuya as he clashes swords with his father and they collide attacks with each other.
"Ryūketsu Tenshikōzui(流血天使洪水Bloody Angel Flood) " Soujin chanted as he creates a massive tidal wave of red acidic water towards Byakuya .
"Senbonzakura Kageyoshi " Byakuya chanted as he uses two hands to block the wave and they both struggle to overpower each others attacks but Byakuya prevails and destroys the illusion of his father. But he is then stabbed from behind by his late wife Hisana.
"Sorry my love but this is how it has to be " Fake Hisana said to Byakuya.
"Damn you , using my late wife this. You're going to pay for this " Byakuya said to Kurenai as Kurenai appears right in front of Byakuya.
"See the level of my power now ? For getting in my way, you would suffer the ulimiate punishment. You would be crushed by the thing you value the most " Kurenai said to Byakuya as Hisana then throws Byakuya down and struggles to keep Hisana from stabbing him in the heart.
"Hisana , stop this ! " Byakuya stated as he struggles to maintain his apathetic, calm demeanor .
"I have been dragging you down for the last 50 years, i only wish to bring you at peace and you can join me in the heavens " Fake Hisana said to Byakuya as she goes to stab Byakuya in heart but Hisana was stabbed through her chest with Byakuya's sealed sword.
"I'm sorry i wasn't able to be there for you . I don't need to join you in heaven Hisana, because you would always be in my heart Hisana " Byakuya said to Hisana as he starts to break free of the Genjustu as he kisses Hisana.
"Byakuya, i would always love you " Fake Hisana replied as she disappears and scatters. Byakuya is then surrounded by a wave of pink reiastu around his body as he stands back up.
"Impossible, my genjustu overpowered. How were you able to counter such a powerful Genjustu ? " Kurenai asked struggling to stand shocked to see Byakuya free of her illusion.
"I must admit, your genjustu is prefect and the realism of your illusions replicate almost everything about Hisana but what you can't replicate is her heart " Byakuya replied as he holds his blade clenching it trying to suppress his anger.
"Incredible, you're the second person who escaped my Tamashī Shōkyo (魂をの消去 Soul Purge) Justu. It was an A-rank justu created by me based on the weaker non lethal D-rank Demonic Illusion:Death Mirage Jutsu (魔幻・奈落見の術Magen: Narakumi ). Still even with that, you still can't escape my S -rank Kurenai Hanano Chinomori " Kurenai explained to Byakuya.
"I can at least see you perfectly , that's all i need to do this Bankai: Senkei , Senbonzakura Kageyoshi(殲景,千本桜景厳, Vibrant Display of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms, Slaughterscape; ) " Byakuya chanted as his spiritual energy glows fills up the entire mist barrier Kurenai set up covering a 3,300 foot diameter area.
Byakuya 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 Kurenai in a continuously moving, column-like array.
"What is this attack ? " Kurenai asked.
"You're the 3rd person ever to see this form of my Senbonzakura. This is Senbonzakura's true form . In this form , he abandons all defense and focuses everything into raw power . While here, it doesn't matter if you can trap me in Genjustu or throw off my sensory perception . My blades will find you no matter where you are" Byakuya explained to Kurenai as he struggles to stand from all the blood he lost from his injuries as he forms a Katana in his hand.
" I see, a final act of desperation however you're far too late to use this technique. Your body took some heavy damage not to mention your reflexes and speed has been greatly weakened by the poison in this blade. You reached your limit " Kurenai stated but she then staggers from the pain of her injuries.
"You're not in much better shape yourself , you're low on chakra " Byakuya replied as he releases white spiritual power around his body.
" I'm not as fucked up as you, i'll use the last of my chakra to crush you " Kurenai stated as she glows with pinkish red aura with wind blowing around her.
"Very well, i'll crush you with everything i got " Byakuya replied almost losing composure as he releases his white reiastu.
They both dash at each other and they clash causing a massive bright lighting up Kurenai's barrier and Byakuya' senkei as it causes an over pressure wave .
Meanwhile at the main gate ruins.
Kakashi and Gai arrive at the gate shocked to see.
"What happened to Konoha ? " Kakashi asked as he walks across the ruins of the East Konoha district .
"So much destruction occurred within the past 5 hours. It looks like the scene out of an old World War 2 movie " Gai stated.
"Indeed, the village alone has token quite alot of damage " Kakashi replied.
Suddenly they sense Kurenai's energy.
"Kurenai's in trouble " Kakashi said to Gai.
"Indeed, to use Kurenai Hanano Chinomori while in her pregnant state puts risk to her body and the baby inside her " Gai stated.
"Her Genjustu ability is an S-rank technique, that uses up more energy than A-rank Jōunin level techniques and puts the body at serious risk of charka exhaustion. She only has about 3- 5 minutes left at most at her current state " Kakashi explained to Gai.
"Still she must of been forced into battle by the Shinobi. I haven't seen her get this these since Itachi was in this village 3 years ago " Gai said to Kakashi.
"It's too bad she wasn't able to use that Genjustu then again it wouldn't work on Itachi anyways " Kakashi stated.
"I know, Itachi's level of chakra and even his Genjustu mastery makes even Kurenai's abilities seem mediocre by comparison " Gai replied.
"Still her genjustu was more than enough to counter my Sharingan and force me on edge .With her, i couldn't easily follow her movements " Kakashi said to Gai.
"I know, while she lacks in striking power like me or Asuma, she makes up for skill and technique " Gai replied.
Meanwhile at Squad 4 campgrounds
Soifon goes into Isane's main medical tent to check up on her lieutenant.
"Shes going to be alright ? " Soifon asked.
"She's alright thanks to Rukia and Renji's quick timing and thinking " Isane answered.
"Tell her that she did a great job today , i would of been dead had not for her " Soifon stated.
"Okay i will " Isane replied as she gets back to healing her patients while Soifon heads out to find Naruto.
Meanwhile at the Hyūga district
Hitsugaya is forced on the defensive against Neji as he is under the effects of the Eight Tirgrams sealed which limits his speed, power, stamina and durability by half it's original power while Neji doubled his strength and power. Snow blows heavily within the neighborhood as well as the rain .
" Hakke Kūshō (双昇龍 Eight Trigrams Air Palm) " Neji chanted as he fires a compressed air wave at Hitsugaya with his left palm but Hitsugaya dodges the blast by a few inches as the blast levels 40 buildings west of Hitsugaya within a 800 foot radius. Neji dashes towards Hitsugaya with his attacks.
"Shit he's coming closer towards me " Hitsugaya said to himself as he dodges 20 palm strikes aimed at his chest sidestepping the attacks as each strike gets closer to his head and chest.
Hitsugaya blocks 20 more strikes at him from Neji's right palm and leaps over a kick and flies into the air . Hitsugaya goes to strike Neji with a sword slash aimed at Neji's neck but Neji dodges it and appears behind Hitsugaya.
"How Pathetic " Neji said to Hitsugaya as he goes to hit Hitsugaya's spinal cord but Hitsugaya dodges and gets out of way.
"Take this " Hitsugaya shouted as he fires another ice dragon at Neji but Neji counters it.
" Hakke Kūshō (双昇龍 Eight Trigrams Air Palm) " Neji countered as he fires a compressed air wave at Hitsugaya
"I can see right through that attack !Ryūsenka (竜霰花, Dragon Hail Flower) " Hitsugaya chanted as he freezes through the wind blast and charges towards Neji.
"Hakkeshō Kaiten ( 八卦掌回天 Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation ) " Neji chanted as he spins around negating Hitsugaya's attack and pushing him back 300 feet away.
"Damn it , this seal is a real pain to deal with " Hitsugaya said to himself.
"Stay in the air and try to hold him off until you can remove the seal " Hyōrinmaru said to Hitsugaya.
" Thanks for the tip Hyōrinmaru " Hitsugaya replied to his Zanpakutō Spirit.
"You just need to find a way fast. You only have 3 petals left in your Bankai " Hyōrinmaru stated.
"I know, if my Bankai fails, i'm done for " Hitsugaya replied as he flies up 2,000 feet high.
"I see, you're taking to the air thinking your safe from me up there " Neji said to Hitsugaya.
"You won't be able to take me on with your taijustu as long as i can fly in the air " Hitsugaya said to Neji
"You're only prolonging this battle. With the Eight Tirgrams seal, you can't really damage me and once your Bankai petals right out, you won't be able to even last 2 minutes against me " Neji stated.
"Very well then, i'll just wear you down while i break free of your justu " Hitsugaya replied as he goes to attack Neji with more ice dragons which Neji dodges .
"You think your safe in the air, think again Hakke: Niihan Kūkiyashi(八卦;に違反空気ヤシEight Trigrams: Breaching Air Palms ) " Neji chanted as he creates a barrage of 10 small compressed air bullets which come at Hitsugaya at 600 shots per minute.
"Does he think he can hit me with those weak attack ? " Hitsugaya said to himself as he shields himself from the bullets taking 120 shots before he wings crack and he falls down " Shit "
"You're finished ,Hakke: Niihan Kūkiyashi(八卦;に違反空気ヤシEight Trigrams: Breaching Air Palms ) channels charka to hit and destroy chakra substances. While not as powerful as an air palm or my close range taijustu attacks, it's fast enough and strong enough to damage vital organs and shatter any defense " Neji explained to Hitsugaya as Hitsugaya falls to the ground .
Hitsugaya gets back up with only 2 petals left in his bankai out of 12 .
" Damn it , i only have two minutes left in Bankai " Hitsugaya said to himself.
"He's found a way to counter your flight " Hyōrinmaru said to Hitsugaya.
"Damn it !" Hitsugaya shouted.
"Don't worry , i found a way to break the seal on you. You just need one minute to hold him off " Hyōrinmaru stated.
"Very well then " Hitsugaya replied as he goes to fight off Neji's attacks.
Meanwhile at the Menna district
Shizune and Mayuri fight each other. Shizune is overpowering Mayuri with her poison release justu.
"Dokuton:Dokuhakei (毒遁,毒の波形 Poison Style: Poison Wave ) " Shizune chanted as she creates a toxic purple wave of liquid poison right toward Mayuri.
"Hadō # 74 . Kaigun tsunami(海軍津波Naval Tidal Wave)" Mayuri counters as he summons a massive tidal wave to flood everything countering the poison wave which causes everything within a 1,000 foot radius leveling 50 buildings.
Mayuri gets his distance away but is starting to feel sick all the sudden. He then sees Shizune come up close towards him with her chakra blades.
"You're starting to feel the effects of the poison. Even indirect breathing of it would cause fatal symptoms " Shizune explained to Mayuri as she is about to decapitate Mayuri but Mayuri counters her attack.
"Hadō # 42 Kōrikōro (氷高炉 Ice Blast ) " Mayuri chanted as he goes to freeze Shizune and successfully freezes her but Shizune shatters the ice.
"Time to end this "Ninja Art: Senbon Rainstorm(如雨露千本 Jouro Senbon) " Shizune stated as she creates a rain of 1,000 senbon at Mayuri but Mayuri reforms his Bankai and blocks the attack.
"Bankai : Konjiki Seichō Noashi Jizo (金色成長の足 Golden Leg Growing Jizo ) " Mayuri chants as his caterpillar creature reforms.
" Not bad but let's see you handle this attack again Dokugiri(毒霧Poison Mist) " Shizune chanted as she shoots a massive cloud of poison gas at Mayuri.
"Ashidoku Jizo(脚毒 Leg Poisoning Jizo ) " Mayuri chanted as his caterpillar fires a much stronger poison from his bankai to clash with Shizune's poison.
"How you're able to clash with my poison ? " Shizune asked.
"Simple, my Ashidoku Jizo(脚毒 Leg Poisoning Jizo ) shoots a stronger poison 3 times more potent that the standard Bankai poison with the added acidic poison . It's enough to counter your poison " Mayuri explained to Shizune as both of there attacks release a toxic cloud which melts 50 buildings within a 1,000 foot radius.
"Wind Style: Devastation " Shizune chanted as she shoots a massive blast of wind from her mouth that causes a 1,500 foot radius explosion leveling 150 buildings but Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō blocks the blast.
"Burēdoshotto (ブレードショットBlade shot)" Mayuri chants as his Bankai shoots 20 sword blades towards Shizune but she dodges the attack .
"Chakra Dissection Blades (チャクラのメスChakura no Mesu) " Shizune chanted as she slashes Mayuri with a powerful vertical slash as the attack creates a 500 foot long fissure and cuts the face of the caterpillar.
"You're getting very annoying " Mayuri shouted as he has his bankai heal from the cut and goes to attack Shizune as he hits her with the Bankai slamming her through 30 buildings dragging her 3,300 feet long .
Shizune gets back up from the attack. Her right arm was ripped off from the attack and she took serious injury from the attack.
"Fuck ! " Shizune shouted as she struggles to get back up.
"Now it looks like you won't be able to fight back " Mayuri stated .
'"Chikatsu Saisei (治活再生の術Regenerative Healing Jutsu ) " Shizune stated as she regrows her right arm and then goes to assault Mayuri "Shikomishindan (仕込針弾Poison Needle Barrage) " Shizune chanted as she shoots a barrage of 120 shots which Mayuri blocks with his bankai but his bankai takes some more damage and it melts once again into purple goo.
"Damn this woman. This battle has dragged on too long , time to activate plan C " Mayuri said to himself as he starts to flee on foot.
"Where do you think you're going ? " Shizune stated as she goes to attack Mayuri chasing him down.
Mayuri uses Shunpo to move at 7,333.3 ft/sec (5,000 MPH) with Shizune following suit . Shizune fires 230 needles but Mayuri dodges the needles. Mayuri then arrives at the middle of the neighborhood and stands there.
" Come and get me " Mayuri taunted.
" Very well then " Shizune replied as she goes to attack Mayuri but Mayuri uses Shunpo to dodge the punch and appear 2,500 feet away " What ? " Shizune said shocked as she sees a cluster of landmines everywhere
"Goodbye Shizune ! " Mayuri smiled as the landmines go off and detonate causing a series of explosion leveling everything within a 1,500 foot radius leveling 500 buildings.
Mayuri walks over to see Shizune on the ground at near death. Shizune lost her left arm and right leg and is covered in blood.
"Damn you ! " Shizune shouted in pain as she tries to get back up.
"Luckily Nemu was able to wakened the bombs so they won't kill you immediately. Now you're too injured to fight back, i'll be bringing you back to the Soul Society " Mayuri said to Shizune as he goes to pick her up but it's really a clone .
"What ? " Mayuri asked as he then sees Shizune coming right at him .
"Chakura Ken: Daikōshō ( チャクラ剣・大交傷Chakra Sword: Great Cross Slash ) " Shizune chanted as she creates a two powerful slashes aimed at him . The slash creates a large x shape 2,000 foot long fissure in the ground cutting 300 feet deep into the rock and 5 feet leveling everything within a 2,000 foot radius leveling 1,000 buildings.
Mayuri emerges using his Bankai as a shield against the attack but the Bankai took serve damage and it was cut into 3 absorbing the damage. The caterpillar was bisected and decapitated by the attack.
"Damn that bitch " Mayuri shouted as he hides behind the severed head of his Bankai. Mayuri reforges his Bankai and goes to attack Shizune with it.
Shizune dodges several more strike from the caterpillar. She's hit by one of the retractable blades of the Bankai in the leg but she regenerates. Shizune slashes the check of the caterpillar but it heals from the cut.
"Dokuton:Suihachi (毒遁,水鉢 Poison Style:Hand of Waves ) " Shizune shouted as she spits a wave of puprlpe toxic water at Mayuri
"Dankū (断空,Severing Void) " Mayuri chanted as he creates a shield around his body which repels the wave from him. Shizune then appears behind Mayuri 100 feet away.
"Earth Style: Stone Spikes " Shizune chanted as she summons spikes of earth that come up from the ground in an attempt to skewer Mayuri but Mayuri jumps into the air avoiding the attack. Shizune jumps up to intercept him with her chakra blades but Mayuri's Bankai comes to counter her.
"Odei Genbaku(汚泥原爆Sludge Bomb ) " Mayuri chanted as his caterpillar spits a green slime from it's mouth hitting Shizune down to the ground and pinning her to the ground.
"Fuck, i'm stuck on the ground " Shizune shouted as she struggles to move her body.
"Even if the poison itself won't kill you, the gunk would be enough to pin you down for this attack " Mayuri stated as his Bankai comes down at her.
"Dokuton:Dokushinkūha (毒遁,毒真空波 Poison Style: Poison Vacuum Wave) " Shizune countered as she sends a massive jet of wind to blast the Bankai away from her cutting Mayuri deep into his shoulder and creating a gash on his caterpillar.
Mayuri staggers back as the corrosive poison starts to dissolve his arm. His skin begins to rot from the poison.
"Damn it " Mayuri shouted as he cuts his right shoulder right arm off with his Zanpakutō. as he watches his right arm's skin melt and bubble revealing the muscle tendons and then the muscle tendons melt into bones which then melt away after 30 seconds.
"See why my poison is so lethal now ? It spreads rapidly through the body and starts to rot and destroy cells until nothing is left. That's why even a small breath would be lethal if your hit directly by the primarily poison " Shizune explained to Mayuri.
"Damn it, one breath and i'm a goner " Mayuri thought to himself as he uses the regenerative serum to grow back his right arm " Damn i only have one more left, I should of done better preparation for this. I wasn't expecting a poison release user much less a master healer on par with Isane or Unohana. This is bad, i can't let this drag out any longer" Mayuri stated to himself.
"Dokuton:Dojōsen(毒遁,土壌の汚染 Poison Style:Soil Contamination ) " Shizune chanted as she turns everything within a 1,000 foot radius into a toxic mud pit . Mayuri tires to move but he's poisoned and paralyzed by the justu
" Shit ! " Mayuri shouted.
" Now time to finish this ! Dokuton:Dokubari Bakuhatsu( 毒遁, 毒針を爆発Poison Style:Exploding Poison Needles) " Shizune chanted as she fires 120 poison needles aimed at Mayuri.
" Bakudō #62. Hyapporankan (百歩欄干, Hundred Steps Fence) " Mayuri chanted as he has his Bankai caterpillar fire hundreds of energy rods from it's mouth to block the explosive tip needles.
"Your monster can use Kidō as well ? " Shizune said shocked to see this.
"That's right , it can fire any Kidō based blasts of energy from it's mouth as an defense against attacks . It's a little modification i made during my last encounter with a shinobi " Mayuri explained to Shizune.
"I see, i'll just take that eyesore out once and for all as well as you as well. Dokuton:Hitasa Sekkai Dokujin (毒遁, 浸さ切開毒刃 Poison Style:Immersed Poison Dissection Blade) " Shizune chanted as she glows her arm with purple chakra leaking deadly poison everywhere and forms a purple chakra blade on her right hand.
"What's that ? " Mayuri asked.
" It's my strongest justu. It combines my poison justu and Saikan Chūshutsu (細患抽出の術 Poison Extraction Jutsu ) with my chakra dissection blade to create a fatal blade of poison which poisons anything i cut " Shizune explained to Mayuri.
"Impressive but can you stand up to this attack ?Hakaiashi Jizo (破壊脚Leg Destroying Jizo ) " Mayuri chanted as the caterpillar releases a red reiastu all over the caterpillar .
"What the hell ? " Shizune said shocked to see it increase it's power.
The caterpillar creates numerous blades come all all over the body like porcupine spines and the caterpillar gains butterfly wings . The halo over it's head breaks into two and becomes horns facing forward but maintain the bells and the caterpillar gains razor sharp teeth and fangs with boar like tusks at the front. It maintains the red cape and red liquid poison drip from the blades.
"Behold , Hakaiashi Jizo (破壊脚Leg Destroying Jizo ) . It condenses all my reiastu in one final attack that combines raw power with my poison . As you already noticed my Bankai isn't suited for raw power however i have this attack just incase i fought a brute force fighter.
"That's alot of chakra your compressing there, still with such a huge Bankai, you can't hit me with that slow attack speed " Shizune taunted.
"Don't underestimate it's speed. Even without being faster than you, it 's large size would make it hard for you to escape. I never got to test this attacks power in live battle conditions . I was going to save it for that Quincy but things didn't work that well. Be warned, this attack has enough force and poison to kill even the mightiest of captain level shinigmai in one shot " Mayuri explained to Shizune.
"What a coincidence, my Hitasa Sekkai Dokujin is that fatal as well " Shizune replied.
"Then let's test which attack is stronger " Mayuri shouted as his bankai caterpillar charges at Shizune.
"Very well then " Shizune replied as she dashes forward with a purple poison mist coming at Mayuri .
Both attacks clash with each other creating a 1,000 foot radius implosion wave which levels 100 buildings within a 1,000 foot radius and spreads a deadly could of poison gas as far as 2,000 feet from the collision area.
Shizune emerges of of the poison smoke cloud with severe lacerations across her body. Mayuri's attack left Shizune's left leg amputated at knee level, her left arm was shredded, her right leg also badly injured and her intestines are spilling out her abdominal cativty . Her clothes are torn and she's almost naked from the attack.
"Damn, that was far too close for comfort " Shizune said to herself as she struggles to breath as blood leaks out her body. "Chikatsu Saisei (治活再生の術Regenerative Healing Jutsu ) " Shizune stated as she regrows her left arm, heals her right leg and her intestines are put back into her body in under 30 seconds.
Meanwhile at the east side of the fissure. Mayuri is still standing with his Bankai cut completely in half and with a massive gash across his chest extending from his right shoulder to his left thigh with his right arm amputated. The cut from Shizune's attack cut deep enough to touch the rib cage but not enough to cut through it .
"Damn that woman, she's going to pay for this " Mayuri said to himself staggering in pain as poison leaks from his body. Mayuri grabs his last regenerative serum to heal the massive cut on his body and his right arm but he then suddenly feeling stinging paralysis "What ? It can't be , the poison is still spreading" Mayuri said shocked as he then vomits and struggles to move "ARRRGH "
"Isn't it obvious ? The poison can't be stopped " Shizune said to Mayuri as she slowly walks towards him notably out of chakra with a scalpel in her right hand. She's holding on to her stomach with her left arm while limping with her right leg while her newly restored leg was barely moving and she's struggling to breath.
"How are you still alive ? More importantly, how were you able to regenerate from such wounds even with low chakra ? " Mayuri asked.
"Simple, i'm the second most powerful healer in the history of Konoha. I can regrow even damaged internal organs however that takes more chakra than healing limbs. Doesn't matter anyways, you're going to die anways " Shizune said to Mayuri.
"Damn it " Mayuri shouted.
"That attack would of killed any other Jōunin within minutes given you lacerated my internal organs and cut off both my limbs but as you can see, i can survive anything anyone can throw at me. The poison right now is eating away at your body, given you have resistance to poison, you would only last 2 more minutes before you die " Shizune explained to Mayuri.
"ARRGH! " Mayuri shouted as he screamed in pain as his body starts to melt. His skin starts to rot and turn purple and it's boiling.
"Serves you right for all the people you harmed and killed " Shizune laughed as she watches Mayuri melt away.
"DAMN YOU ! " Mayuri shouted in agonizing pain as he has his severed bankai glow with spiritual energy around him and the Bankai. His Bankai reverts into his sealed sword as his sealed Zanpakutō glows red and stabs himself.
"What are you doing ? " Shizune asked shocked to see him stab himself.
"If i'm going to die, i'm taking you with me , there's no escaping now. Once my Zanpakutō pierces my heart , it turns all my reiastu into a timebomb which i call Jibaku Shinzō Genbaku (自爆心臓原爆Suicide Heart Bomb) " Mayuri answered.
"Suicide Heart Bomb ? " Shizune asked.
"It's a last ditch resort i set up in case my death was inevitable . The blast radius is 1 km ( 3,300 feet ). You can't escape in your current condition" Mayuri explained to Shizune.
"Shit ! " Shizune shouted as she tries to run but falls on her face.
"It's such a shame it has to end like this but all good things must come to and end. Goodbye Shinobi, i won't be able to dissect you today " Mayuri replied as he glows with red energy and then explodes with Shizune nearby causing a massive explosion leveling 1,000 buildings.
Meanwhile at the Hokage palace
Tsunade sees the explosion from a distance.
"Shizune " Tsunade shouted as she senses Shizune in danger.
"I can't sense her chakra " Katsuyu stated.
" Damn it ! " Tsunade replied as she rushes out to the battlefield where Shizune is at.
Meanwhile 2 miles south of Konoha General Hospital
Sakura pursues Chad across the streets Sakura is gaining distance on Chad.
"She's getting closer to me " Chad said to himself as he tries to get more distance from Sakura.
"He won't be able to escape me " Sakura said to herself as she tries to catch up but then she sees a large explosion from a distance.
"What's that explosion ? " Chad said to himself.
"That chakra, it's Shizune's, what's going on over there ? " Sakura asked herself.
Meanwhile at East Konoha
Kakashi and Gai sense Shizune's disappearing charka. Rain continues to pour down heavily in the village. 2 minutes past since they entered the village .
"Shizune, it can't be " Kakashi stated.
"I can't feel her presence anymore " Gai stated.
"Damn it ! The enemy must of killed her " Kakashi said to Gai while clenching his fist.
Meanwhile 3 miles northwest of ground zero.
Sajin, Kenpachi,Yachiru, Iba ,Ikkau and Yumchikia with there battalion of 240 Shinigmai when they see a large explosion from a distance.
"Look at that , fireworks " Yachiru said to the guys.
"Boy what caused that explosion ? " Ikkau asked.
" That scent , it's Kurotsuchi " Sajin answered.
"What the hell is going on there ? " Iba asked.
"Kurotsuchi spiritual pressure disappeared " Sajin answered.
"Did he die ? " Ikkau asked.
"Yep seems like it " Kenpachi answered.
" Well he won't be missed with a face like that " Yumichikia joked around.
"Shut up, how can you be so callous about his death ? " Iba asked shouting at Yumchika
" Like you care about him ? We're t you always complaining how much of a dishonorable fucktard he was " Ikkau asked.
" Shut you mouth baldy " Iba replied.
"What was that ? " Ikkau shouted looking at Iba.
"Quiet all of you, our mission is to head downtown to secure it " Kenpachi commanded.
"We need to move on and forget about the lost of the 12th division captain and move on " Sajin stated as they continue to march into the city.
Meanwhile 2.5 miles west of ground zero
Renji and Rukia see a large explosion from a distance and see smoke clouds of poison mist around the south Konoha .
"What was that explosion ? " Renji asked Rukia
"Whatever it is i'm glad i'm not anywhere near the blast site especially with that cloud of poison " Rukia answered
"We got to make a detour, seeing that much poison gas , it must mean Mayuri is fighting. Last thing we need to do is to get caught in his poison " Renji stated.
"Very well then ! " Rukia replied as they walk around the area.
Meanwhile at Squad 4 campgrounds.
Akon , Rin and Hiyosu detect their captain fallen in battle .
"Captain ? " Rin said shocked to check the readings.
"He's dead " Hiyosu answered.
"How could he die ? He was equally matched with opponent and both of them peaked at 150,000 RYK " Akon stated.
"The enemy must of had a trick up his or her sleeve that caught the captain offguard " Hiyosu stated.
"That's impossible, our captain is the smartest in the Soul Society, there's no way anyone can outthink him " Akon replied.
" The person must of had an unique power, one not even Kurotsuchi could predict or even counter " Rin explained to them.
"Makes sense to me " Hiyosu replied.
Suddenly the senkaimon opens up to reveal that Ukitake, Nanao and Shunsui have appeared through the Senkaimon has opened.
"Looks like we came just in time " Shunsui said to the shinigmai in the camp.
"Back up has arrived " Ukitake replied as he walks around the camp only to be greeted by his two third seats .
"Captain Ukitake ! " Kiyone cheerfully shouted as she hugs Ukitake.
"Captain Ukitake, it's an honor to see you " Sentaro cheerfully stated.
"Hey 3rd seats Kotestu and Kotsubaki " Ukitake replied.
Suddenly they are greeted by Akon who comes to retort to them.
"Captain Kyōraku, Captain Ukitake we got some bad news about Captain Kurostuichi " Akon said to them.
"What is it ? " Ukitake asked.
"Captain Kurostuchi is down , we're unsure whether he survived or died. The area is too heavily contained with poison gas to send normal shingimai out there " Akon explained to them.
"How wide is the area of poison ? " Shunsui asked.
"The area of the poison 3.5 miles in diameter and covers the entire southern part of the village. For what's known to us, "Akon answered.
"Don't worry, we'll retrieve you captain back " Ukitake said to Akon.
"Little Nanao, lead the back up teams into the city and aid the teams there " Shunsui commanded
"Yes Captain " Nanao replied as she goes to lead the teams.
"Momo, take Kiyone and Sentaro and lead the teams downtown " Ukitake commanded.
"Yes captain " Momo replied as she goes to break the teams up.
"Looks like things are going to get even hairier from here on " Shunsui said to Ukitake.
Meanwhile at the Financial district
Hitsugaya has been struggling for a full minute against Neji. Hitsugaya dodges a fury of palm strikes by Neji while blocking those that get close enough with his Bankai sword.
"Hyōryū Senbi (氷竜旋尾, Ice Dragon Swirling Tail)" Hitsugaya shouts as he swings his sword in a linear direction and creates overflowing ice from his blade in the form of a crescent wave at Neji.
"Hakkeshō Kaiten ( 八卦掌回天 Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation ) " Neji chanted as he spins around negating the blast and leveling everything within a 500 foot radius destroying 30 buildings.
"Hiryūseki (氷竜堰 Ice Dragon Barrage ) " Hitsugaya chanted as he surrounds Neji with 50 ice dragons within a 1,200 foot radius all of them moving 360º around Neji and all attack him at once.
"That won't work " Neji replied as he releases chakra around his body to negate the attack. He then sees more water vapor around him
"Then try evading this Sennen Hyōrō (千年氷牢, Thousand Years' Ice Prison)" Hitsugaya surrounds Neji with ice pillars to trap him .
"Is this the best you can do with such limited chakra ? " Neji stated as he breaks out of the ice prison with ease.
"What the hell ? " Hitsugaya shocked as he blocks the shockwave with his hands protecting his face.
" It's time we end this game right now little boy " Neji said to Hitsugaya as his body is surrounded with green chakra.
" Shit ! " Hitsugaya replied.
"Hakke Nijū Hasangeki (八卦二重破山撃Eight Trigrams Mountain Break Attack )" Neji chanted as he fires two dense waves of chakra from a 4,000 foot distance from Hitsugaya.
"Shit !Hiryūhō (氷竜砲Ice Dragon Cannon ) " Hitsugaya chanted as he uses both hands on his sword to shoot a dense beam of blue energy traveling to meet the wind blast but the ice beam is overpowered easily.
" That weak attack can't stop a full power Mountain Break Attack especially when your half your power,goodbye captain " Neji stated as the blast hits Hitsugaya dead on.
The wind blast extends from the palm up to 1,000 feet in diameter with the blast extending 5 mile long . The blast increases by a foot every 26.4 feet from the center as it goes through every building in a westward direction even leveling the 10 story Hyūga manor which was in the path. The blast travels far enough to hit the southwestern outer edge of the Hokage mountain 3.5 miles from the faces of the Hokage monument.
The attack's aftermath is an devastating wide fissure 1,000 feet wide and 20 feet deep and 5 miles long. 2,600 buildings where leveled in the powerful blast and the blast even left a 500 foot deep, 1,000 foot diameter hole at the cilffsides of the mountain.
Hitsugaya barely survived the attack. He used his own Sennen Hyōrō to reduce the damage he took and prevent him from being sent flying with the blast. The blast busted open his abdominal cavity internally and did serious damage to the stomach and causing internal bleeding. His Captains robe was also destroyed in the blast and fragments of his own ice lacerate his skin.
"Damn it ! Damn .. it ! " Hitsugaya shouted as he coughs blood out of his mouth and struggles to stand.
"That was to close for comfort, had you not use Sennen Hyōrō last second to shield yourself from the attack, you would be scattered bones " Hyōrinmaru said to Hitsugaya.
"Fuck, my body s too banged up to move.. i can't take much more punishment from this attack " Hitsugaya replied as he struggles to stay conscious and tries to fight the shock of his stomach rupturing.
Neji walks over to him to taunt him.
"I must say, your a complete disappointment. It's hard to believe you gave Kakashi a run for his money, then again even Kakashi can't bypass the power of the Gentle fist " Neji arrogantly taunted.
"I see , you're very powerful " Hitsugaya stated.
"No matter how strong you are, there's nothing the Gentle fist won't be able to stop. Shall i tell you a story of the power of the Gentle fist ?" Neji asked.
"Fuck..you " Hitsugaya replied.
"I was but a mere Genin 3 years ago and yet due the power of the Gentle fist, i was able to kill an Jōunin level opponent " Neji stated.
"Impossible but how ? " Hitsugaya asked.
"I figure it's worth sharing with you since your about to die in 10 minutes anyways due to septic shock. I'll try explaining it in less than a minute " Neji answered with a smirk on his face.
3 years ago
I was part of the five-man team to retrieve Sasuke from the Sound Four. I was chosen to be the rear lookout in the single file line Shikamaru organised because of my ability to use the Byakugan. When, during the course of the mission, the team was captured by Kidōmaru's webbing, i was able to free them with my Gentle Fist, and sent them after the remaining members of the Sound Four while i fought Kidōmaru.
At one point in their fight, Kidōmaru summoned a giant spider. The spider released many smaller spiders, and i used Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms to stop them.
I soon realized that Kidōmaru was more powerful than i was at the time, but was determined to never give up, as i wanted to show those who considered him a genius that their faith in me were correct, and to prove that i no longer surrendered to fate. I was severely wounded when Kidōmaru managed to fire an arrow through his chest. However, i was able to keep it from hitting my heart by moving at the last moment.
Kidōmaru activated a form known as a level two curse form which is powerful enough to contend with a Bankai easily and had arrows that can pierce through hundreds of trees with ease.
After dodging yet another arrow, i realized that i couldn't stop the next one. I allowed the arrow to hit him - however, i prevented it from being fatal, and took advantage of the string attached to it that Kidōmaru used to guide its trajectory by channelling chakra through the web, severely injuring Kidōmaru. I then ran towards him and struck the latter repeatedly with Gentle Fist until he was dead .
Present Day
3rd person pov
"You see, that's why i can't lose to the likes of you. Now you know why the Hyūga clan is the most powerful clan in existence today " Neji taunted.
"I know that, that explains why you were able to do so much damage to me. I suffered a great deal of damage but ...i'm at least free from your chakra seal " Hitsugaya replied as the eight tirgrams seal on his chest disappears and his wings grow back.
"You can't fight me at full strength with your level of injuries.
"That's what you think " Hitsugaya replied as he gets in position to attack Neji.
"Such a waste of time " Neji replied with a smirk.
"That's what you think " Hitsugaya smiled as the area around them starts to freeze up as Hitsugaya causes a swirling cloud where all the rain starts to focus and shift wind directions forming an hurricane like storm around the area.
Meanwhile 1 mile north of Squad 4's campground
Momo and Nanao sense Hitsugaya's reiastu from a distance. Snow starts to fall within the area.
"What the hell is that ? " Nanao asked as she sees a vortex of snow forming into a massive tornado.
"That's Hitsugayas spiritual energy " Momo answered.
"What the hell is he doing ? " Nanao asked.
Meanwhile at the Yamanaka district
Ichigo walks around the district when he starts to see snow falling down on the district.
"Snow ? What the hell, it's September, why is it snowing all the sudden ? " Ichigo asked himself.
"It's Toshiro Hitsugaya's Bankai, it's causing a distortion of spiritual energy in the atmosphere " Zangestu answered.
"Distortion ? I had no idea he could wield such power like that " Ichigo stated.
"His Bankai could manipulate all the ice and water in the atmosphere causing him to increase his power " Zangestu explained to Ichigo.
"That's pretty cool " Ichigo replied as snow starts to come down on him.
Meanwhile at the Nara District
Shikamaru looks up in the sky to see snow falling down on his house
"What's going on? Why is it snowing all of a sudden " Shikamaru asked himself.
Meanwhile 300 meters away . Uryu notices the snowfall as well .
"This snow, it's all bring caused by a rapid development of reishi from a single Soul Reaper. I didn't think any Shinigmai could gather reishi as fast as a Quincy. Whoever is the Shinigmai, i'm glad i'm on there side " Uryu said to himself.
Meanwhile 3 miles south of Konoha General Hospital
Sakura and Chad head dangerously close to where Hitsugaya and Neji are fighting
"Shit, it looks like things are getting ugly there, best i get away from there " Chad said to himself as he turns eastward from the area

Meanwhile at South Konoha
Shunsui and Ukitake look at the vortex of energy Hitsugaya is creating with his Bankai. They are two miles southwest of Mayuri's location . The area is heavily poisoned with poison gas.
"What a massive amount of poison around this area " Shunsui said to Ukitake as they walk through the poison fog unaffected when the see the rain freeze and turn into hail and snow.
"That power, it's coming from Hitsugaya " Ukitake stated.
"He must be using his Tensō Jūrin (天相従臨, Subjugation Of The Heavens) " Shunsui replied.
"You mean one of his basic powers ? " Ukitake asked.
"Yep, this immense surge in power greatly amipiles his Bankai's destructive power by using the weather in the immediate vicinity, or more specifically, control the water in the surrounding atmosphere" Shunsui explained to Ukitake.
"This is the first time i ever seen it used outside the Soul Society, what a destructive display of power " Ukitake stated as he then coughs from the sudden drop in temperature.
"This day couldn't get any worse, as if this severe thunder storm wasn't bad enough, we now go hail and freezing thunderstorms " Shunsui said to Ukitake.
"Damn it ! I can't go on much fruther " Ukitake replied as he begins to cough uncontrollably and coughs out blood and his face turns purple.
"Damn, this poison combined with the bad weather isn't doing you well is it " Shunsui replied as he struggles to avoid being poisoned.
"Sorry to be a burden on you Shunsui " Ukitake whined.
"Don't be ashamed. With Kurostuchi's toxic poison mixed with Hitsugaya's snowstorm, anyone would be feeling under the weather . Let's get back to squad 4 and get gas masks " Shunsui said to Ukitake.
"Right " Ukitake replied as Shunsui carries him on his shoulders.
"If only if Hitsugaya had within 100 years of more training. If he did, he would be the next captain commander for sure " Shunsui stated.
Meanwhile 1 mile north of Hitsugaya's location.

"Look at that , snow " Yachiru said to the guys.
"First explosions and poison mist and now snow? " Ikkau asked.
" That spiritual pressure, it's ..." Sajin answered.
" Hitsugaya, who knew the kid had such spiritual power. I would love to challenge him to a battle anytime " Kenpachi smiled.
Meanwhile at Konoha park
Rangiku and Izuru are with 250 Shinigmai proceeding and fighting through a wave of 300 Shinboi within there way . Rain turns into snow within the area,
"That's Toshiro's spiritual power " Rangiku stated.
"Shit is this what he met about not being anywhere near him ? " Izuru asked himself as he thinks back to what Toshiro said to him a while ago.
54 days ago
"If you're not within 10 square miles of here , i can't guarantee that my reiastu won't accidently kill you " Hitsugaya said to me as he prepared to fight Gin.
Present Day
"Who's nearby Toshiro ? " Izuru asked.
"Hisgai's forces " Rangiku answered.
"Damn it , give me the phone, i need to call him " Izuru said to Rangiku.

Meanwhile at the Financial district 1 mile northeast of Hitsugaya's location
Hisgai is fighting off more Shinobi with 210 Shinigmai assisting him fighting against 230 Shinobi in the area when they see a massive wave of ice and snow bearing down on them. Izuru calls Hisgai to warn him.
"Hisgai, Hitsugaya is going to use his full power attack, you must clear out of the danger zone immediately " Izuru said to Hisgai.
"What's the danger zone ? " Hisgai asked.
"1 .25 miles, you need to get at least 3,000 meters away to avoid the attack " Izuru answered.
"Okay, i'll warn my men " Hisgai replied as he hangs up the phone.
"What's the problem Vice Captain Hisgai ? " one of the unseated officers asked.
" Captain Hitsugaya's going to attack. Everyone, retreat back 3,000 meters east. We can't afford to be within 10 square miles of his attack " Hisgai ordered his men as they all start to fall back from the battlefield. Hisgai lost 34 men the battle to march to downtown.
"Yes sir ! " all the men replied as they started to retreat from the frontlines back to avoid Hitsugaya's attack.
"Just what are you doing Captain Hitsugaya " Hisgai said to himself.
Meanwhile 1 mile northwest of Hitsugaya.
Tsunade and Katsuyu walk across the snowy ruins of the financial disrict as she sees the massive spiritualpower
"What the hell is this ? " Tsunade asked.
"I have no idea " Katsuyu answered.
Back at Ground zero
Hitsugaya prepares his last ditch attack .
"His chakra is surging out of control " Neji said to himself'.
" Now you will perish in the frosted heavens . It's time i show you why my Hyōrinmaru is the strongest of all ice-element Zanpakutō in Soul Society " Hitsugaya stated as he uses Tensō Jūrin to power up his attack. "Tensō Jūrin (天相従臨, Subjugation Of The Heavens) " Hitsugaya shouted.
"I can't move my body " Neji stated as he tries to get up.
"Hyōten Hyakkasō (氷天百華葬, Frozen Heaven Hundred Flower Funeral)" Hitsugaya shouts 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. 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 Hakke Hasangeki (八卦破山撃Eight Trigrams Mountain Break Attack )" Neji chanted as he fires a dense wave of chakra " Neji states as he tries to block the ice but his air blast is frozen midair and shattered." Impossible" Neji shouted but before Neji could react, his right hand is frozen with a flower shaped icicle on his right hand. Neji leaps 300 feet in the where his left shoulder and right leg are frozen "What's this?" Neji states trying to escape.
"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 states as everything within a 1 mile radius freezes around Hitsugaya.

"Allow me to do the same Bankai: Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō :Tennohiha (黒縄天譴明王,天の火を刃 Heavenly Punishment of Kokujō's King:Fire Blade of the Heavens ) " Sajin chanted as he generates flames around his massive giant's sword and flames all over the giant's body protecting the troops from the freezing winds.
The winds passed by after a minute and it's revealed that everything 2,000 feet of Kenpachi and sajin was unaffected by Hitsugaya's ice. Both of them powered down to normal and Kenpachi puts on his eyepatch. All the troops however are on the floor unable to move including , Ikkau,Iba and Yumchikia but Yachiru was unaffected.
"That was awesome Kenny and Doggy, you guys are the best " Yachiru said to them cheerfully jumping around unaffected by their massive reiastus.

"He needs a psyche ward and meds. He's going to end up lost again " Iba replied.

"Shizune's condition is much worse,she's hanging on by a thread. Neji could survive at least 5 more minutes trapped in that ice tower. Shizune only has a minute left " Tsunade stated.
"What to do ? " Katsuyu asked.

""Retsumame Ketsugō Sakkaku (列豆結合錯覚 String Bean Binding Illusion ) " Kurenai chanted as she ensnares Byakuya in her Illusions but Senbonzakura sprit negates the attack manifesting himself to send energy sword to cut the illusionary vines.
" Thanks Senbozakura " Byakuya said to his Zanpakutō Spirit.
"No problem " Senbozakura repiled as Byakuya then goes to strike Kurenai with his Zanpakutō but it was just another illusion. Kurenai attacks from above pushing Byakuya back with her glowing red sword into the ground.
" Time to end this !Magen: Jigoku Kōka (魔幻・地獄降下Demonic Illusion: Descending Hell Technique) " Kurenai chanted as she fires a massive ball of fire falling from the sky. Byakuya 's arm is slightly damaged but he escapes the Genjustu.
"Hadō 33. Sōkatsui (蒼火墜, Blue Fire, Crash Down)" Byakuya fires a blue fireball at Kurenai but she manages to dodge the attack.
"His movements are getting faster and his perception has improved but how ? How is he able to move so fast ?" Kurenai thought to herself as she clashes again with Byakuya.
"You have impressive levels of swordsmanship however can you keep up with my speed ? " Byakuya states as he leaps in the air and uses Shunpo to move at 18333.3 ft/sec (12,500 MPH) and uses Senka to cut Kurneai in half but it was an illusion.
" Magen: Reitō Fumō (魔幻・冷凍不毛Demonic Illusion:Frozen Wasteland) " Kurenai chanted as she creates a massive wave of ice rushing towards Byakuya but Senbozakura helps Byakuya see a wind tendril behind him. Byakuya dodges using Shunpo and then goes for a lunging strike stabbing Kurenai through the chest.
"Clever tactic to disguise your attacks with Genjustu but i have already seen through it " Byakuya said to Kurenai only to see he stabbed a Shadow Clone.
"Shadow Clone Explosion " Kurenai chanted as the shadow clone explodes blasting of Byakuya's arms but it was revealed to be an afterimage as well.
Byakuya and Kurenai clash attacks with each other. Kurenai swings at him with a two handed sword strike while Byakuya uses strong strikes with just his right arm . Byakuya goes to cut Kurenai but it was an illiuson again

Byakuya and Kurenai go to clash more attacks with each goes for a horizontal strike but Kurenai blocks with a two handed sword strike. Kurenai kicks Byakuya in the stomach and goes to strike him with a dashing sword strike but Bykauya blocks the strike only to see it was another illusion he clashed with . The real Kurenai tries to slash Byakuya across the back but Byakuya blocks the strike.
"Yōgeki # 12 Senito (千糸,Thousand Threads)" Byakuya chants as he uses a fast series of strikes cut Kunreai up across her body but it was a clone.
"Hananinjāto: Hatsubai Baikaihana (花忍者アート：発売媒介の花 Flower Ninja Art: Release Mediated Flowers) " Kurenai chanted as she turns her flower petals into bombs . Byakuya uses shunpo to dodge a sieres of bombs "Damn it, i missed but how ? "
"Hadō # 74 Kaigun tsunami(海軍津波Naval Tidal Wave)" Byakuya chants as he summons a massive tidal wave to flood everything inside the Senkei barrier with a 30 foot wave. Kurenai dodges the wave and goes to attack Byakuya from the air.
"Hananinjāto:Sagarisakura Sanranhōha(花忍者アート：下がり桜と散乱法葉 Flower Ninja Art: Falling Blossoms and Scattering Leaves) " Kurenai chanted as she releases hundreds of flower petals that rain down like shiurken .

"Magen: Reitō Fumō (魔幻・冷凍不毛Demonic Illusion:Frozen Wasteland) " Kurenai chanted as she creates a massive wave of ice rushing towards Byakuya.
" Mōda # 8 Haganefū (鋼風 Steel Wind)" Byakuya countered as he moves his sword in a 180° arc and releases a powerful shockwave dispelling the ice illusion .
"Wind Style :Wind Tunnel Cannon( 風遁, 風洞大砲 Fūton: Fūdōtaihō ) " Kurenai chanted as she shoots a massive blast of wind from her mouth

"Magen: Jubaku Satsu (魔幻・樹縛殺 Demon Illusion: Tree Binding Death)" Kurenai chants as she tries to trap Byakuya in her illusions but Byakuya uses his spiritual engery to break out of the genjustu.
"I already told you, your second rate Genjustus don't work against me anymore " Byakuya said to Kurenai
"Second rate ? Don't insult me Magen: Hanarasui (魔幻・花霞 Demon Illusion: Flower Head Death ) " Kurenai chanted as she does a handseal to trap him in a giant flower bud. " Die " Kurenai shouted as she causes it to explode with the explosion engulfing most of the barrier but it was revealed to be an afterimage
"It doesn't matter how good the illusions are, illusions are still illusions " Byakuya said behind her as he comes right at her with his sword but Kurneai barely dodges the blow only to see Byakuya in front of her
"Shit ! " Kurenai shouted as her shoulder is stabbed by Byakuya facing fowards towards her.
"Tsuzuri Raiden (綴雷電,Bound Lightning) " Byakuya chanted as he sends an electric current through Kurenai's body.
"ARRRGH ! " Kurenai shouted in pain as her body is paralyzed by the shock "I can't move my body ! " Kurenai shouted.
"It seems that you felt my speed increase when i used Senkei , that's incorrect . Senkei condenses the scattered blades into the shape of a single sword , explosively increaseing it's power. My speed did not change" Byakuya stated.
"So it's my speed that has gotten slower ?" Kurenai asked.
"You held your own against well and i must say, your Genjustu us very powerful and effective however the biggest downfall would be your lack of brute strength. You don't have enough power to overpower the effects of my Senkei and now that you have token damage, you are out of tricks but that's not the reason you lost" Byakuya explained to Kurenai.
"Why did i lose to you ? " Kurenai asked.
"Because you underestimated the bond between a Shinigmai and their Zanpakutō " Byakuya answered.
"Both of us fight against you as one, Shinigmai and Zanpakutō are two in one. We only reach our full potential once our souls begin to resonate with each other. No matter how powerful your Genjustu is, you can never overcome us with hatred alone "
"Shut up ! Nobody mocks me, i'm the best Genjustu user in the world .I'll kill you and all the Shinigmai who killed my husband " Kurenai shouted pissed off clenching her bloody fist
" How foolish , i'll help you join your husband in hell " Byakuya replied as he goes to finish her off but then he's surrounded with vines . His body is binded by the powerful illusions.
"Got you , you can't escape this Genjustu for this is also a ninjustu ninjustu condensing into a powerful bomb wiping you out of existence " Kurenai stated as she has the vines latch into his body impaling him.
"Damn it, i can't escape " Byakuya shouted.
"If Genjustu won't deceive, it would be used to destroy you . This is my strongest Genjustu Hanamori ketsugō Shino Yakata(花の森結合死の館Flower Forest Binding Death Memorial ) " Kurenai chanted as all the trees in the crimson forest bloom and leaves fall to the ground and the trees glow red.
"Fuck ! " Byakuya shouted.
"Goodbye Captain Kuchiki " Kurenai replied as she uses Shunshin to escape the barrier and the barrier explodes releasing a massive explosion that levels everything within a 3,300 foot radius leveling 1,000 buildings it it's path and creating a binding explosion.
Kurenai is 1 mile northeast of the explosion area trying to regain her energy. She struggles to breath and tries to stand up feeling woozy from the combination of massive blood loss, chakra exhaustion and morning sickness. Kurenai is barely able to stand.
Out of the smoke emerges a bright white light which gives a bright glow to the sky and stops the rain within the amount of spiritual energy glowing around Byakuya's body. Pure white wings form on Byakuya's back, as well as a halo-like circle, made of concentrated spiritual energy.
"Shūkei: Hakuteiken (終景: 白帝剣 Last Sight: White Emperor Sword) " Byakuya said as blood covers his face and he condenses each and every single one of his Bankai blades into a single, potent sword, drastically increasing its cutting power.
"Impossible, how did you survive my Hanamori ketsugō Shino Yakata ? " Kurenai said shocked and horrified as she is exhausted of her charka.
"Shūkei: Hakuteiken (終景: 白帝剣 Last Sight: White Emperor Sword) condenses each and every single one of his blades into a single, potent sword, drastically increasing its cutting one sword would finish you and any Jōunin of your level in one hit " Byakuya explained to Kurenai.
"I must admit, i don't have much chakra left nor do i have the strength to deal with a man of your strength however , i'm far from done Fūton: Akaipetaru Shippūjin (風遁・ 赤いぺタル疾風刃 Wind Style:Red Petal Gale Blade ) " Kurenai chanted as her blade glows with a red mist which glows with sharp wind currents and red petals flow around her body .
"I see, you have as last ditch attack up your sleeve " Byakuya asked.
"It's a trick Asuma taught me, while not at good as his Hein justu, it would be enough to cut you down " Kurenai replied as she dashes at Byakuya moving at 18333.3 ft/sec (12,500 MPH) . Byakuya charges his attack at Kurenai moving at 10.2 miles per second (36,810 MPH).
Both attacks clash creating a pinkish white explosion which destroys everything within a 4,000 foot radius leveling 1,500 buildings causing a bright explosion engulfing the entire village in a bright light.
Meanwhile 1 mile north of Kurenai
Kakashi and Gai notice a bright flashing light
"Shit , this is bad " Kakashi stated.
"Indeed " Gai replied as they try to avoid being overwhelmed by the massive levels of spiritual power.
Back at ground zero
Byakuya is now north of Kurenai and Kurenai is down south . The attacks created a 800 foot diameter, 250 foot deep crater with a fissure extending 8,000 feet long and 100 feet deep and 3 feet wide. Kunreai is at the southern end of the crater while Byakuya is at the north end of the crater.
The smoke clears up to reveal that Kurenai's Akaiha shattered to bits . Her chest was deeply cut narrowly missing the her lungs and heart and cut from right shoulder to left thigh. Byakuya also missed her uterus .
"Impossible " Kurenai said to herself as she falls to the ground . She's severely injured and rendered out cold.
Byakuya is still standing but he has a deep gash across his chest in addition to the injures he suffered earlier Byakuya struggles to stand but he regains ground. The upper half of his Shihakushō is gone and most of his body is covered in blood. His Bankai reverted back to sealed sword form.
"You did it master but why didn't you finish her off ? You could of easily bisected her, decapitated her or impale her heart while using Hakuteiken ? " Senbozakura asked.
"I can never finish off a pregnant woman , it goes against my beliefs " Byakuya answered as he points at her .
"So you spared her ? " Senbozakura asked.
"She's of no threat anymore . She'll live if she's treated within an hour but i doubt she would try to throw her life away again once the baby is born " Byakuya stated.
"You should of sealed her soul chain and soul sleep " Senbozakura said to Byakuya.
"My body is too heavily damage to move an inch besides, i don't want to deny anyone the right to have a child " Byakuya replied as he struggles to walk away from the battle site. snow begins to form around the battlesite.
Meanwhile at the Nara District
Uryu wanders across the village .
"I sense a strong spiritual power east of here, it must be the Nine Tails " Uryu thought to himself as he tries to focus on Naruto's chakra.
Suddenly Uryu is attacked by a kunai. Uryu dodges the tendrill only to see a shadow tendril behind him. Uryu jumps into the air to avoid it.
" Not bad spy, you move pretty fast " said a voice from a distance. It's revealed to be Shikamaru.
" Who are you ? " Uryu asked.
"It doesn't matter , you're going to be dead in less than a minute " Shikamaru answered as he comes at Uryu.

"Yes, so what of it ? " Chad answered.
"Why do you work for the Soul Society ? They are only out to enslave all of humanity " Sakura asked.
"Who told you that lie ?Looks like you been brainwashed well " Chad answered.
"What is your name human ? " Sakura asked.
"My name is Yasutora Sado, my friends call me Chad and i'm here to capture Naruto " Chad replied.
"Naruto huh ? So you bastards want Naruto so badly ? You will have to get past me frist " Sakura answered.
"And just who are you ? " Chad asked.
"Sakura Haruno, Special Jounin of Konohagure and Lieutenant of the Konoha Medic Corps " Sakura answered.
"You're pretty strong for a Medical Ninja " Chad stated.
"You're foolish to assume i'm weak because i'm a medical ninja, that would be your undoing " Sakura replied.
Meanwhile at the Yamanaka District
Ichigo looks around in the neighborhood for Naruto when he suddenly senses an enemy approaching him.
" Come on out , where are you hiding ? You might as well show yourself , i know your hiding around here" Ichigo shouted looking for his opponent.
"I wasn't trying to hide " Rock Lee replied as he landed on the ground and goes into fighting stance.
" Just who are you ? " Ichigo asked.
" I'm Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast , Special Jōunin of Konohagakure and Taijutsu specialist Rock Lee" Lee answered.
" Just a Special Jōunin, you don't seem that strong no offense i can take you barehanded " Ichigo arrogantly taunted.
" Don't underestimate me , i'll prove to be much tougher than you thought " Lee replied.
Meanwhile at the Third Training Ground
Naruto is around the training ground when he's almost hit by an energy rope aimed at him.
"That was a close one " Naruto said to himself.

"Please, i'm on a far higher league than him " Soifon answered.
