Friday September 28,2001 10:00 A.M. Karakura Town, Bleachverse
3rd person narration
30 minutes have passed since the Akatsuki attacked Karakura Town pretending to be elite mercenaries working on the behalf of Konoha and the Shinobi Nations. Having kept their spiritual power hidden until the moment of the attack, the Shinigmai were unprepared for the assault. Zetsu , the spy for the Akatsuki pretended to be dead from an attack from Ryūken the following night to trick the Shinigmai to bringing him into the Shinigami Research and Development Institute. It was there that Zetsu manipulated the events and allowed the Shinigmai to use Gentei Kaijo however removed Soul protection to cause chaos and destruction in Karakura Town.
Team Hitsugaya was deployed to earth to protect the newly established couple, Orihime and Ichigo from all attacks and were fooled by false intel by Zetsu to lure the Shinigmai away from Ichigo and Orihime as they searched for the shinobi away however Ichigo's friends Chad and Uryū were able to briefly off the assault and even Orihime help drive away the Shinigmai for a while.
The Akatsuki fought against and defeated most of the first wave fighters. Hitsugaya was badly matched against the monster Kisame known as the Tailed Beast without a Tail and was effortlessly defeated by Kisame. Chad went up against the mighty Kakuzu and fought as hard as he could but Kakuzu's Iron Skin proved too much for even the Captain level Fullbringer. Uryū fought against the immortal Hidan but in the end had nothing in his arsenal that could kill Hidan and fell victim to Hidan's curse Jutsu. Izuru tired to fight Sasori alone protecting Ichigo's sisters from Sasori but was easily defeated by Sasori's poison and Momo saved his life and both were forced into hiding . Rukia tried to duel Deidara but the explosives master proved too much for Rukia and Ikkaku,Yumichika and Rangiku attempted a team attack on Kakuzu but the overwhelming gap in power made that impossible . Renji and the mod souls as well as Jinta and Ururu fought against the most powerful member Itachi Uchiha and at the end were all crushed while Tobi evaded battle as much as possible.
The Soul Society scrambled to contain the human population and while many avoided the Akatsuki altogether , the United State Force of Japan and the Japanese Self Defense Force believed they could handle the Akatsuki. While an imposing force in the World of the Living, they were far outclassed by Shinobi powerful enough to destroy a small city on their own and fell victim to the Akatsuki assault. The Akatsuki killed 400 people and wounded 858 people in just the first half hour of the rampage and created a huge scale level of destruction across the city.
Now with all the humans safe under soul protection, the Shinigmai could freely do battle without restraints. Ichigo was able to gain back his ability to fight for a while against the Shinobi and save Orihime and Rukia from Deidara, Renji was saved by Kisuke who now duels Itachi who wants Kisuke dead . Hitsugaya saved his team now fully healed from his injuries to take on Kakuzu, Sasori now faces off with Kukaku now knowing about her from hanging out with the 9th Espada,Kisame fights Yoruichi and Ryūken is now going to fight Hidan with his son.
300 meters north of Karakura High School
10:00 A.M. 990 feet from the High School and nearly a half mile from the crater Orihime created , Ichigo is manifesting his Bankai state massive wave of energy engulfing everything within a 300 foot radius in a whirlwind.
" Tensa Zangetsu (天鎖斬月, Heaven Chain Slaying Moon) " Ichigo said as he reveals his black sword from the cloud dust cloud.
" Ichigo are you alright ? " Orihime asked him.
" Yes, Ryūken said that as long as i don't use my Hollow Mask, i'll be fine " Ichigo answered .
" I'll take Rukia back to heal her ! " Orihime stated .
" Fine, take care my honeybun ! " Ichigo replied as he kisses her in the mouth and Orihime picks up Rukia and she carries away Rukia.
" About time i see your Bankai, i'm a bit disappointed . That's just a normal Zanpakutō colored black with a tightrope , time to take you down without killing you " Deidara stated as he sends two claybrids after the orange haired Shinigmai .
" Katsu " Deidara chanted as he detonated the explosives
The explosion produced the energy equivalent of 8.44 Tons of TNT, nearly half the yield of the MOAB. The explosion completely destroys everything within a 160 foot radius with the secondary shockwave severely damaging everything within a 320 foot radius with the explosion sending shrapnel as far as 2,000 feet from the blast. The explosion clears up to reveal Ichigo is unfazed from the explosion standing within a 12 foot deep ,30 foot diameter manages to hold back the blast with a weak grip on his sword with his right hand.
" I'm guessing you're the reason Rukia was lying on the ground ? " Ichigo said to Deidara.
" Yep, bitch kinda put up a decent fight but in the end she was nothing " Deidara stated.
" Well i'm going to make sure you pay greatly for what you did to her " Ichigo replied.
" I guess C-1 is out of the question here, he effortlessly blocked the blasts " Deidara said to himself as Tobi appears to see what's going on .
" Deidara senpai ! " Tobi said to his friend.
" Where have you been ? " Deidara asked.
" The charges have been set, i planted all the landmines as you ordered " Tobi explained to Deidara.
" Landmines ? " Ichigo asked.
" Yep, i made some landmines located within the city that have enough power to kill a Shinigmai even in Bankai . There's enough of these mines to blow everything up here and their designed to blow you up Ichigo and you only although if your friends get in the way, it's bonus points for me " Deidara answered.
" Blow up ? I thought you said you were going to capture me " Ichigo questioned Deidara.
" Don't worry we'll just use your girlfriend to revive you , after all she has the power to bring back the dead " Deidara answered.
" You guys know about her powers ? " Ichigo asked him.
" Of course we do, we been watching you guys closely for a while. Lord Aizen has taken a liking to you and Grimmjow told me you would be a decent prey to kill off . It's sad the Soul Society ruined the fun of taking the humans to safety now , i really wanted to blow up and kill as many of them as possible " Deidara answered with a smirk.
" You monsters, you make me sick attacking innocent people. Why did you bomb my school ? " Ichigo asked Deidara with an intense glare.
" Oh boy, Tobi look at the intense glare he's giving us " Deidara said to Tobi.
" I think he's mad Deidara senpai ! " Tobi replied.
" Why did you attack my friends ? They were innocent people " Ichigo asked Deidara.
" You're so retarded it's not even funny. I did it to express my art " Deidara answered.
" Art ? " Ichigo asked.
" The best kind of art is that which each bomb i make to be a significant accomplishment. I don't care who i bomb and if anything i enjoy killing people ,after all i'm a shinobi and that's basically what we been doing for years . Nothing is off-limits to my art whether it's hospitals, schools , hell i'll even send a bomb to your house so your family can enjoy my art " Deidara explained to Ichigo further enraging Ichigo
" You bastard! So it's just a game to you ? You're nothing but a sadistic arsonist and a terrorist. I refuse to accept your garbage as art , i'll cut you down where you stand ! " Ichigo shouted in anger as he charges at Deidara.
" He's fast ! " Deidara said to himself as he sees Ichigo moving at 6416.7 ft/sec(4,375 MPH).
" I'll save you ! " Tobi stated as he blocks the hit as Ichigo's sword cuts through Tobi but in reality it passed through him while Deidara jumps on top of a 3 story building .
" That's one scumbag down, time to kill the chatterbox " Ichigo stated as he clenches his blade.
" Tobi you idiot, that sword was sharp , don't charge in like that " Deidara scolded his partner who's unscathed by the sword attack.
" His Flashstep makes him faster than both of us, i needed to protect you Deidara senpai ! " Tobi replied .
" What the hell ? Impossible, My Tensa Zangetsu cut through him but he's still standing without a single wound. Just what the hell are these guys ? " Ichigo thinks to himself.
" Hey Ichigo, let's play a little game of clay minions Kureitesaki Bakuhatsu(クレイ手先を爆発Exploding Clay Minions)" Deidara chanted as he creates Exploding Clay that is connected to his hands with a thin cord of clay. The clay then rises from the ground, molding itself into human-like forms.
" What the hell are those things ? " Ichigo said to himself.
" I'll play with you a bit more! " Deidara states as he has his clay minions go after Ichigo.
" Bring it on ! " Ichigo replied as he goes to slash the clay minions.
Meanwhile at Karakura Community Park
Hitsugaya and his team are staring right at Kakuzu and his heart monsters .
" How? How did you survive my point-blank Ryūsenka / Tsuzuri Raiden Combination attack ? I put everything i got into it " Hitsugaya asked Kakuzu.
" It's simple, you hit me directly in the heart, you're right there is no way you can survive with your heart gone . I have more than 1 heart, in fact i have 5 hearts " Kakuzu answered.
One of the monsters come towards Ikkaku and company but it then melts away.
" Shit, what the hell was that ? " Ikkaku asked them as he cough up blood.
" Don't worry we'll make sure your safe ! " Mizuho replied holding on to him.
" What are you still doing here ? I thought all humans were transported into Reiteki Hogosaegi (霊的保護遮 Spiritual Protection Barrier ) " Rangiku stated.
" That only works on humans who can't see spirits ! " Yumichika replied.
" Damn it, last thing i need is deadweight. Get her out of here and get Ikkaku to safety " Hitsugaya stated only for them to be surrounded by the monsters.
" You guys aren't going anywhere, i need to consume that heart you took from me ! " Kakuzu replied as he charges right at Hitsugaya and hits the Captain with a right hook but Hitsugaya blocks with his Bankai blade while being pushed back.
" What immense strength, no wonder he took out powerhouses like Ikkaku and Chad so easily " Hitsugaya said to himself as he dodges another punch from Kakuzu.
Hitsugaya and Kakuzu clash attacks with each other at high-speeds with Kakuzu easily blocking against Hitsugaya's Bankai while Hitsugaya's blade gets chipped from the impact of his skin. Kakuzu throws an uppercut but Hitsugaya sidesteps the attack . Kakuzu clashes his fist with Hitsugaya's blade and pushes the Captain back and goes for a knife-edge chop aimed at the Captains neck but Hitsugaya jumps into the air and stands to airwalk but Kakuzu jumps up and goes to punch him but Hitsugaya blocks the blow and is pushed into the ground. Hitsugaya jumps back into the air .
" Toshiro's Bankai isn't even cutting the Akatsuki " Rangiku stated as she watches the fight.
" How is that even possible ? Hitsugaya's a Captain and you're telling me his Bankai alone can't pierce that skin ? " Ikkaku asked the busty ginger as he coughs up blood.
" It's like Hitsugaya said, that skin of his is even tougher to cut than an Arrancars ! " Rangiku replied.
" Why doesn't Hitsugaya use that Lightning Kidō again ? " Yumichika asked Rangiku .
" Kidō isn't that easy to use , even a Captain would need a few seconds to set it up right . This guy is moving so fast and up close, Hitsugaya barely has the time to use the Kidō . Worse yet if Hitsugaya is right and that's indeed an Earth Style jutsu, Hitsugaya's Bankai attacks have little to no effect on him " Rangiku explained to them.
Meanwhile Hitsugaya and Kakuzu are clashing 300 feet high and 1,000 feet away from the park .
" Not bad kid , you have quite alot of power for such a small child " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya as the silver haired Captain pushes him back .
" You're not bad yourself ! " Hitsugaya replied as he charges up a Lightning Kidō .
" I must say figuring out my weakness was an impressive feat... All the more reason you must die " Kakuzu stated as his wind mask appears behind him and pushes Hitsugaya down .
" Damn it, an ambush ! " Hitsugaya stated as he blocks the claws of the bird creature and lands on the ground .
" Fool ! " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya.
" Now i got you ! " Hitsugaya stated as he goes to cut the creature.
" Wind Style: Pressure Damage (風遁・圧害Fūton: Atsugai) " Kakuzu chanted as the wind beast fires a tornado-like blast cuts through buildings and levels everything within a 1,000 foot blast destroying 100 buildings.
The explosion is so intense that it sends an immense wave of winds blowing down remaining trees within the park and causing the team to be overwhelmed.
" Shit, hold on guys ! " Yumichika shouted as he struggles to stand from the violent force winds while holding Ikkaku .
" Captain Hitsugaya ! " Rangiku shouted while holding Mizuho and facing backward so the girl doesn't get hit with any debris and Rangiku's Shinigami body would shield Mizuho given Shinigami are far more durable .
" What's going on ? Just what are these freaks . Karakura Town is being destroyed from these monsters, this must be a really bad nightmare " Mizuho said to herself as she looks with absolute fear before passing out from the dense Reiatsu.
The smoke clears up to reveal a 4,000 foot high dust cloud with force winds that blow away all other cars away within a 4,000 foot radius with 160 mph winds breaking the vehicles and lethal shards of glass ,rock and concrete raining down on the area. The blast zone clears up revealing everything within a 1,000 foot radius has been reduced to ash or dust . The explosion leaves behind a 160 foot diameter , 44 deep crater with the explosion producing 359 tons of TNT. Despite the massive explosion , Hitsugaya protected himself by using his wings to form a shield around him.
" Not a bad blast but your wind blast wasn't strong enough against my ice wings " Hitsugaya said to Kakuzu as he then charges up lightning around his sword.
" I see, you used those wings on your Bankai to block my blast while buying enough time to set this jutsu up ? You're a clever kid " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya.
" Yep ,i am ! " Hitsugaya replied as he dashes at Kakuzu and goes to stab him but Kakuzu blocks with his right hand.
" Blades can't cut me ! " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya only to see Hitsugaya's sword glow with lightning.
" Tsuzuri Raiden (綴雷電, Bound Lightning) " Hitsugaya chanted as he uses his lightning enhanced blade to amputate Kakuzu.
" ARRGGH ! " Kakuzu shouted as he screams in agony.
" He did it , Hitsugaya cut through him like bread and butter ! " Rangiku said to Yumichika.
" So much for Iron skin ! " Yumichika replied.
" Now for the killing blow ! " Hitsugaya shouted as he goes to strike Kakuzu but Kakuzu uses one of his threads to punch Hitsugaya from behind and knock him down.
" Just kidding ! " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya as he resews his arm back on with the threads.
" What the fuck ? He resewed his whole hand back on " Rangiku said to the team shocked and amazed at what she saw.
" Impossible, you sewed you own arm back ! " Hitsugaya said to Kakuzu as the lightning on his blade disappears.
" Not bad but it won't be that simple. My Jiongu (地怨虞 Earth Grudge Fear ) detaches parts of his limbs and then manipulate them, allowing me to sew up any injuries that i suffer. Even if you can cut me, can you actually do any real damage when i have 4 more hearts and the ability to just easily recover ? " Kakuzu explained to Hitsugaya.
" Damn it ! " Hitsugaya shouted.
" You got lucky once before kid, Lightning doesn't strike twice " Kakuzu replied as he has his lightning mask come towards him.
Meanwhile Rangiku and the others carry Ikkaku and Mizuho away and try to run away .
" Damn it, Hitsugaya is in trouble, his opponent just sewed his arm back on " Rangiku said to the team as she carries.
" We need to get Ikkaku to Orihime fast ! " Yumichika stated as they try to right.
" You guys aren't going anywhere ! " Kakuzu replied as he charges up lightning from his mask.
" This is bad ! " Rangiku stated.
" Shit, if Rangiku and the team are hit by that, we're done for " Hitsugaya thinks to himself as he dodges Kakuzu's punches.
" Time to die ! " Kakuzu shouted.
" Tsuzuri Raiden (綴雷電, Bound Lightning) " Hitsugaya chanted as he cuts the monster pushing him back .
" Lightning Style: Piercing Darkness(雷遁・辟暗Raiton: Gian) " Kakuzu chants as his lightning mask shoots lightning in the shape of a spear from its mouth coming towards Hitsugaya's team .
" Shit, we're too late ! " Rangiku shouted as the blast heads towards them.
" Ryūsenka (竜霰花, Dragon Hail Flower) " Hitsugaya chanted with Lightning charged ice around his body hitting the blasts head on and managing to hold back the blast.
" Captain Hitsugaya ! " Rangiku said to her Captain.
" Go , quickly ! " Hitsugaya said to them as he barely holds back the blast feeling his body getting burned from the Lightning.
" Right ! " Yumichika replied and both her and Rangiku run along with Mizuho and Ikkaku out cold .
Once the team has fled the area, Hitsugaya pushes the lightning away from him as the blast creates another 1,000 foot radius explosion. Hitsugaya is worn out from the explosion with 2nd degree electrical burns protecting Yumichika and Ikkaku.
" Damn it, that was too close , i barely protected my teammates " Hitsugaya said to himself as he struggles to hold his sword.
" Impressive, you managed to survive that attack. You even managed to protect your friends but let's see you block this one " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya as he sees Kakuzu do Rat → Dog and Tiger handseals.
" I need to prepare a counterattack ! " Hitsugaya to himself .
" Too late, time to die Fire Style: Searing Pain (火遁・頭刻苦Katon: Zukokku) " Kakuzu stated as his fire mask shoots a small fireball that erupts into a giant fire-storm after contacting with a surface, causing widespread destruction to the area. The Fireblast extends and creates a massive 2000 foot radius, everything around Kakuzu is in flames.
Hitsugaya however uses his icy Reiatsu to freeze the flames around him.
" That last attack was nothing to my Bankai , Hyōrinmaru is the strongest of all ice-element Zanpakutō in Soul Society. It can freeze even flames " Hitsugaya explained to Kakuzu.
" I see, you might be an interesting foe after all ! " Kakuzu replied.
Meanwhile at the Mashiba district
Sasori and Kukaku see the towering inferno of flames from the west end of the district coming from the park.
" Maybe we should relocate for now ! " Sasori said to Kukaku .
" I see what you mean, those flames are inching closer to us , i don't want you dying before you tell me information " Kukaku replied.
" Your friends should leave here , they stay any longer, the would be hit by Kakuzu's attacks " Sasori explained to Kukaku .
" So you're letting them go ? " Kukaku asked him.
" I have no further use for them, i'm much more interested in fighting the likes of you. After all it would very amusing to kill you and bring you to your brother Kaien as a puppet . Also it would suck if your friends died too before i have my fun with them later by Kakuzu's indiscriminate attacks " Sasori answered.
" You heard the man, get out of here " Kukaku stated to Momo and Izuru.
" Right ! " Momo and Izuru replied as the small petite girl carries the blonde Vice Captain away from the battlefield and back to Karakura High School.
" Now we're should we go ? " Sasori asked the busty raven haired beauty.
" Fuck if i know , let's get at least 2 miles from here. I want answers from you " Kukaku answered.
" Very well then ! " Sasori replied as they leave the area.
Meanwhile at Downtown Karakura Town
Yoruichi is looking around for Kisame within city's Downtown financial district. Yoruichi is on top of a 30 story building in the middle of the city.
" Where did he disappeared to ? " Yoruichi asked herself as she looks around the area.
Suddenly a shark's dorsal fin protrudes from the ground, swimming underground at high-speed going into the building that the dark-skinned Shinigmai is standing.
" I got you ! " Kisame shouted as he swings his massive sword easily cutting the building in half and jumps to attack Yoruichi but Yoruichi easily dodges the attack.
" You're attack isn't half bad but that monstrous spiritual power is a dead giveaway and you move too slow to hit me " Yoruichi explained to Kisame as they both stand in the air 300 feet above sea level.
" It's not that i'm slow, it's that you happen to be very fast . I must say, you really are a hot babe , i wonder if what they saw about dark meat is true . I'm used to eating white meat all the time, i don't often get to taste dark meat " Kisame stated with a slightly perverted tone.
" Well i don't usually meet men with fish gills on their face or shark teeth, i'm glad you appreciate my beauty but you're not my type. I can never go with a guy who goes around killing innocent people or has blue skin .. Not to sound racist or anything " Yoruichi replied as she stands there.
" I'm hurt , and here i thought we can be together , i don't like having to force women to do things they want to . Oh well, at least you would make a delicious meal for Samehada. Your Chakra is looking particularly appetizing " Kisame said to the lovely beauty in front of him.
" Normally, i don't like fighting but since you're itching for a battle, i'll be glad to take a scumbag like you down " Yoruichi replied as she uses Shunpo to appear behind Kisame and stab him from behind but it's a water clone .
" Is this the fastest you can really move ? " Kisame asked Yoruichi .
" What ? " Yoruichi shouted shocked to see Kisame behind her.
" Take this ! " Kisame shouted as he swings his massive sword around almost cutting the former Squad 2 Captain. Kisame lands on the ground looking for Yoruichi when Yoruichi appears above the blue skinned Akatsuki and goes to kick Kisame.
" Taketonbo (竹蜻蛉, Bamboo Dragonfly ) " Yoruichi countered as she does her own axe kick in midair which Kisame jumps out of the way as the kick lands on the ground.
The kick destroys everything within a 2,000 foot radius leveling 1,000 buildings with ease. The kick produces the energy equivalent of 1.1 Kilotons of TNT creating a 370 foot diameter, 100 foot deep crater . Yoruichi gets back up to fight Kisame.
" Not bad, i must say, your strength is pretty huge " Kisame said to Yoruichi as he comes at her with his sword attack but Yoruichi dodges the strike. Yoruichi goes for a flying punch dashing from Kisame but the blue skinned Akatsuki member blocks with his sword.
" Damn it ! " Yoruichi shouted as her hand is pricked by the thorny razor coming out of Samehada.
" My massive blade Samehada doesn't cut, it shreds like a chainsaw through anything it touches and rips it to pieces " Kisame said to Yoruichi as the former Squad 2 Captain holds on to her fist.
" Then how were you able to easily cut a building in half ? " Yoruichi asked him.
" Because that's my own raw power with Samehada ! " Kisame answered.
" Amazing, your swordsmanship must be top marks within the village you come from . I guess i can't fight you barehanded then " Yoruichi stated as she draws out her Zanpakutō.
" This should be fun ! " Kisame replied as Yoruichi dashes towards him.
Yoruichi and Kisame engages in a series of sword clashes . Kisame uses a bunch of sword swings to fight off Yoruichi but Yoruichi dodges the attacks and uses a powerful slash to counter each blow. Kisame charges at Yoruichi and they clash attacks with each other, each strike creates 100 foot shockwaves in the air. Yoruichi slices through a 20 story building with a horizontal slash next to Kisame and then connects with a vertical slash but the blue skinned shinobi blocks the blow pushing him back. Yoruichi uses Shunpo goes for a roundhouse kick against Kisame but Kisame grabs her leg and throws her down into the ground and slices her in half .
" Utsusemi (空蝉, Cicada, referencing their molting) " Yoruichi chanted as she appears behind Kisame and goes to stab him with her Zanpakutō moving at 120,000 ft/sec( 81,800 MPH) but Kisame manages to block the hit barely.
" Damn ,you're fast ! " Kisame said to Yoruichi as he absorbs some of her Chakra and her sword cracks a bit.
" How did he block that blow ? His reflexes are pretty good like that Kage i fought a while back " Yoruichi said to herself as she gets her distance.
" Let's see you withstand this ! " Kisame shouted as he swings his sword 180 degrees creating a massive shockwave leveling everything within a 2,000 foot semi-circle radius destroying 1,500 buildings west of Kisame. Yoruichi dodges the attack and jumps to the air .
" I'm getting tired of you already ! " Yoruichi shouted as she creates a powerful vertical slash wave around her while leaping at Kisame and nearly cuts the blue skin Akatsuki member, the wave cuts down a 15 story high-rise building in half.
Yoruichi then dashes at Kisame with a lunging strike but Kisame blocks her attack. Yoruichi does a series of rapid stabs at Kisame, Kisame dodges them by a few inches . Kisame goes for a counter slash but Yoruichi holds back Kisame's slash with her wakizashi shaped Zanpakutō.
" You're strong, you manage to block this large blade with ease. I can see how you were able to fight someone as powerful as Tsunade and defeat her. That's no easy task, even for the likes of me " Kisame said to Yoruichi.
" I assume you must be Kage level , your Reiatsu is insanely high. With your high strength, it's no surprise even a Captain with Bankai couldn't hold their own against you " Yoruichi said to Kisame as she starts to push the blade from her and knock it back.
" Boy you really are a catch , Samehada is having a field day with you " Kisame replied as his sword then has it's scales move around in a saw like pattern as it absorbs Yoruichi's Reiatsu and causes the blade to start breaking.
" He's absorbing my Reiatsu, that explains why my sword cracked from the force of the impact " Yoruichi said to herself as she jumps out of the way avoiding her blade breaking.
" Looks like you figured out my Samehada absorbs Chakra, this is the first time it's ever tasted Shinigmai Reiatsu this strong such Aizen . You really are proving to be fun already and i'm only getting warmed up " Kisame said to Yoruichi.
" I see , i guess ordinary attack won't do against you . Let's try this attack then Shunkō ( 瞬閧,Flash Cry ) " Yoruichi chanted as she gets into her Shunkō form. Kisame's sword starts to unwrap itself in excitement.
" Now you really got my sword excited ! " Kisame replied as he goes to attack Yoruichi who is still wielding her Zanpakutō.
Kisame uses Shunshin and goes for a two-handed jump slash but Yoruichi uses her blade with one hand to easily deflect the blow and knock the fish faced shinobi 500 feet away from her. Yoruichi then charges at Kisame with her sword and cuts Kisame across the chest with a high-speed slash . Kisame swings his blade to try cutting Yoruichi's head off but Yoruichi does a backflip to dodge the blow and kicks Kisame 1,000 feet away.
" Had enough ? " Yoruichi taunted while in Shunkō .
" I've just gotten started ,that light cut on my chest isn't enough to stop me " Kisame answered as his wounds heal up .
" High Speed Regeneration ? " Yoruichi said to herself as she sees Kisame come at her with his counterattacks.
Kisame charges at Yoruichi with 5 vertical downward strokes of his massive blade but his massive blade is too slow to catch the Goddess of Flash. Kisame swings down with both hands on his sword cutting down a 40 foot high skyscraper and creating a massive 2,000 foot fissure running westward but Yoruichi uses Shunpo to dodge the hit and almost hits Kisame with a powerful punch which levels everything within a 1,000 foot radius. The smoke surrounds Kisame as he looks around for Yoruichi.
" Where the hell did she go ? " Kisame asked himself only to see Yoruichi behind him.
" Over here ! " Yoruichi said to the blue skinned shark man as she punches Kisame right in the face and send him flying 1 mile southwest of the shopping center to the Old Karakura Town train station where he hits through an abandoned passenger train at full force and the train explodes leveling everything within a 4,500 foot radius blowing up the entire station .
The enhanced Shunkō punch generated the force of 5.5 Kilotons of TNT with the force of the punch creating a 594 foot diameter , 162 foot deep crater. Kisame then emerges from the crater and the flames barely hurt from the punch and goes to his jutsu.
" Water Style: Shark Bomb " Kisame chanted as he shapes water into the form of a large shark and thrusting his hand forward, sends it hurtling towards the former commander of the Onmitsukidō.
" Hanki (反鬼, Reverse Demon) " Yoruichi countered as she negates the jutsu entirely from a mile away.
" Impossible, she negated my Shark Bomb ! " Kisame said to himself.
" Shunshinraijin (瞬神雷神, Flashing Lightning God ) " Yoruichi countered as she fires a massive blast of lightning from her right palm to hit Kisame . The blast collides creates a massive 1 mile radius explosion leveling everything around the area including the train station.
Meanwhile at Karakura High School
Tatsuki, Chizuru ,Keigo and Mizuiro , the only remaining students within the school and the few remaining people out of 615,232 people living in the city because of their spiritual awareness wake up to the sound of the explosion.
" What the hell is going ? " Tatsuki shouted as they look around the outside to see everything in flames around them with broken buildings and burning debris and they stare at the massive 20,000 foot high mushroom cloud from the windows.
" What's going on ? Are we being nuked ? " Chizuru shouted frightened to see the explosion.
" It's the end of the world ! " Keigo shouted panicking .
" This is very bad, all our family members they're gone ! " Mizuiro shouted.
" Something doesn't feel right about this at all ! " Tatsuki replied as she looks around outside and looks at the 10 foot diameter hole in the classroom then touches her hand on the hole only to feel an invisible barrier around it.
" What is it ? " Chizuru asked them.
" An invisible force field ! " Tatsuki answered.
" Are we trapped here ? " Mizuiro asked the raven haired tomboy.
" No, more like protected, thing is that there's no way human technology had anything to do with this " Tatsuki replied.
Meanwhile Ryūken and Uryū are at the rooftop when they see the massive explosion from a distance after Orihime finished healing them when they see the massive explosion .
" Damn, it's like a nuke went off over there " Uryū shouted.
" Yoruichi must be at it again ! " Ryūken replied.
" What the hell is she ? She has that much destructive power in her arsenal, that Bankai of hers must be something else. It's even stronger than Kenpachi using Kendo " Uryū asked his father.
" Bankai ? Huh, that's her power at base state with Shunko . She's only getting warmed up " Ryūken answered.
" You got to be shitting me ? She has that much power, i hate to be the one who has to fight her in battle " Uryū stated with a frightened look on her face.
" So son are you ready to watch your father , um how you kids say it these days ...kick ass ? " Ryūken asked his son.
" I never thought of you as the show off type Ryūken " Uryū answered.
" Still calling me that after all the talk we had huh son ? I'm sorry i wasn't around that much during your childhood, i was a shitty father to you and you deserved better. Being a doctor and a Quincy wasn't an easy job for me and i tried for years to get rid of these powers but i guess it can't be helped. After your mother died of illness, i was in a depressed state and shorty after that, i lost my father. I wished i was not there for you when you needed me " Ryūken explained to Uryū.
" Clam down dad, now's not the time to get tender. I forgive you , i'm not the type to hold a grudge against a family member " Uryū replied.
" That's the first time you ever called me father Uryū. I'm sorry for being so harsh on you before with the whole helping out the Shinigmai, at this point and time we need to do whatever it takes to protect this world, even making deals with them " Ryūken said to Uryū.
" Okay then. Let's deal with this immortal freak once and for all " Uryū stated .
" That's the spirit my boy ! " Ryūken replied as they both use Hirenkyaku to return back to battle.
" That's such a touching moment ! " Orihime stated as she starts to cry in joy while finishing with the healing of Rukia.
" A father and son bonding with each other in an otherwise dark time , guess these Shinobis attacking isn't all that bad " Rukia replied.
Meanwhile at the Kurosaki Clinic
Isshin is carrying his unconscious daughters into his home when he see the massive explosion from a distance . The blast radius is only a half mile from the Kurosaki clinic when he rushes his daughters inside and then tucks them in his bed.
" Damn it, Yoruichi needs to show far more restrain. She'll end up blowing up Karakura Town to kingdom come if she continues to fight like that " Isshin said to himself as he goes to call on his cellphone.
" Isshin , this isn't the time to call me ! " Yoruichi said to Isshin.
" Go easy on the fireworks, you're trying to make clean up harder here? You almost leveled my house " Isshin answered.
" Sorry man, you know how i get in battle. I tend to get lost in the moment when good fights happen " Yoruichi stated.
" At this point i wonder who's really out to destroy Karakura Town ! " Isshin replied.
" I'll try not blowing up what's left of the city ! " Yoruichi responded as she hangs up the phone.
Meanwhile at Downtown Karakura Town
The smoke clears up from the ruins of the train station and it reveals Kisame suffered 3rd degree burns across his body and his Akatsuki robe is gone from the explosion emerging out of the 937 foot diameter , 256 foot deep crater . The explosion produces the energy equivalent of 27.5 Kilotons of TNT .
" That was a close one , you almost had me there " Kisame said to Yoruichi with his wounds healing up from the injuries he suffered.
" What the hell ? How did you survive that blast, i put everything i got into that attack " Yoruichi asked Kisame.
" Haven't you learned anything yet ? Samehada absorbs Chakra and that blast you fired was cut in half or rather shaved thanks to this blade and he loved all that destructive Chakra you released " Kisame answered.
" That sword is powerful, to absorb a full power Shunkō blast and heal his wound so easily, he'll be a serious threat to anyone . I got to disarm him before he can drain all my Reiatsu " Yoruichi said to herself as holds her Zanpakutō with both hands.
" Here i come ! " Kisame shouted as he swings his massive sword and manages to press his blade down briefly overpowering Yoruichi.
" What the hell ? His strength increased , he's absorbed that much energy from me " Yoruichi said to herself as she dodges the strike and then uses Shunpo to appear behind Kisame and goes to stab him but Kisame blocks with his sword.
" Go ahead, feed Samehada more of that energy! " Kisame said to Yoruichi as he swings his sword to cut her but he misses as Yoruichi uses Shunpo to escape his attack.
Kisame and Yoruichi clash again , this time with Yoruichi using her Shunkō. Kisame manages to put Yoruichi on the defensive despite her using her Shunkō to enhance her power. Kisame presses down on Yoruichi's blade as he becomes strong enough to overpower Yoruichi with just one hand on his Samehada while Yoruichi is using two hands on her Zanpakutō while in Shunkō.
" This is bad, my power is weakening in this state ? He's not tiring out whereas i am . It's bad enough i'm a bit rusty form the lack of fighting in 100 years, it's even worse he could just absorb my Chakra as if it was nothing " Yoruichi said to herself as she then gets her distance from Kisame and leaps in the air and stands 200 feet in the air.
" That air walking ability doesn't give you any edge , especially when we learned to do it too. We learned a similar technique that allows us to walk on water , the air is filled with water vapor so we can do that with ease " Kisame explained to Yoruichi as he stands in the air with her.
" Who said i was trying to avoid you? I just didn't want to damage this city any further Hadō #58. Tenran (闐嵐, Orchid Sky) " Yoruichi chanted as she fires a tornado blasts towards the blue skinned Shinobi but Kisame blocks the blast with his sword and sees Yoruichi coming at him with a punch.
" Nice try ! " Kisame stated as he grabs her fist and stops Yoruichi in her tracks.
" Sucker! Anken (暗剣,Dark Blade) " Yoruichi chanted as she fires 3 small black kunai knives from her right boot that hit Kisame's right arm.
" ARRGH! " Kisame shouted as he holds on to his right arm impaled with kunai while Yoruichi grabs Samehada .
" Now to end this ! " Yoruichi shouted as she goes to kill Kisame with his own blade while both are in midair but then her hands are pricked by the scales of the blade .
" Idiot ! " Kisame shouted.
" ARRGGH ! " Yoruichi shouted as she drops the blade and Kisame catches the sword and then removes the kunai in his arm.
" Not a bad strategy but a worthless one at that . My great sword Samehada can only be wielded by me, that's not a weapon anyone can use " Kisame explained to Yoruichi.
" That sword of his, it's like a this guy even a Shinobi ? His fighting style is similar to that of a Shinigmai and his sword has a mind of it's own and a special ability, it even has a name, it's like he's at Constant-Release state, similar to Ichigo but the power difference between Ichigo and him is overwhelming. Even Ichigo's hollow form wouldn't stand a chance against that blade of his. Given the level of power he has, he could easily take on any Tailed Beast up to the 6 tails, he must be the one sent out in case Ichigo loses control again " Yoruichi thinks to herself.
" I must admit, you really are an interesting opponent. You're so skilled in stealth and speed that even Samehada can't really track your Chakra down however this is it for you " Kisame said to his opponent as he goes in from of her and punches Yoruichi down to the ground.
" Shit, what force ! " Yoruichi said to herself as she's punched down easily despite being in Shunkō creating a massive 2,000 foot radius explosion.
The punch produces the energy equivalent of 1.1 Kilotons of TNT creating a 370 foot diameter, 100 foot deep crater . Yoruichi struggles to get back from the force of the punch while Kisame lands on the ground and the goes for the kill by throwing his sword in the air and then clasping both hands together .
" Water Style: Exploding Water Shock Wave (水遁・爆水衝波 Suiton: Bakusui Shōha) " Kisame chanted as he spits out a great volume of water from his mouth that becomes a massive wave of water heading towards Yoruichi .
" What the hell ? " Yoruichi shouted shocked to see a massive surge of water heading towards her.
The explosive tidal wave spreads out from the center of the downtown district as it rips apart buildings and tears apart anything in it's path . Cars are crushed and ripped to shreds by the force wave.
Meanwhile at Karakura Community Park
Hitsugaya sees the massive surge of water coming towards the flames burning what's left to the neighborhood and putting out the flames.
" What the hell ? " Hitsugaya asked himself as he jumps up into the air and flies they're looking at the massive damage done to the place " What the hell cause all this ? " Hitsugaya shouted.
" It seems like Kisame went overboard again ! " Kakuzu answered.
" It was that Shinobi's doing ? All this water , just what is he ? " Hitsugaya asked him.
" To think he's not even using his full power either , then again what else you expect from the Tailless Tailed Beast " Kakuzu answered .
" Tailless Tailed Beast ? " Hitsugaya asked .
" It's Kisame's nickname we give him because his Chakra level is beyond most shinobi ,even without his Samehada, his strength is still higher than my own. Don't feel bad losing to him earlier, there isn't a single Captain in the Gotei 13 that can beat him aside from the Head Captain " Kakuzu explained to Hitsugaya.
" No wonder he's so powerful ! " Hitsugaya replied.
" Now let's stop talking , you been putting up a good fight so far . I don't want to kill you so soon when we just got started fighting " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya as he charges at Hitsugaya with his hearts.
Meanwhile at the Kitakawase district
Shinji , Hachigen and Love are hovering around the air seeing the massive flood wave concentrate into a 100 foot high water wall spreading out from Uryu's house to the western city limits.
" Boy that's one hell of a massive water wave " Shinji said to his friends.
" At this rate , there's not going to be a Karakura Town to protect ! " Hachigen replied.
" At least we got all the humans out of the mess, it's going to be a hell of a mess if they see this chaos " Love stated.
" I never seen anything this messy before, the Soul Society has a huge mess to clean up " Shinji replied.
" We should head to Karakura High School fast before that school is attacked again " Hachigen said to his friends.
" If any Shinobi comes at the school, they'll have to answer to Tengumaru " Love stated.
" Hachigen, make sure that school is well protect under that barrier, that would be the point where we contact the Soul Society and get Orihime back to safety" Shinji commanded .
" Right ! " Hachigen replied as they leave the area.
Meanwhile at Karakura High School
Tatsuki and her friends see the waterwave from a distance.
" What the hell is that ? " Keigo shouted.
" I have no idea and i don't want to know " Chizuru answered.
Kon walks into the classroom only to see Tatsuki and others there .
" What the hell are they still doing here ? I thought everyone in Karakura Town was put under Soul Protection " Kon said to himself.
" Ichigo, what in Sam hill is going on here ? " Tatsuki shouted.
" What are you doing Tatsuki ? It's obvious that terrorists are behind this , those freedom hating bastards finally developed a nuke and blew up Karakura Town " Keigo stated crying his eyes out.
" What would i know what the fuck is going on here ? " Kon asked doing his impersonation of Ichigo.
" Cut it out ! I know that enemies have been after you and Orihime for a while , i know you are one of those black-robed fighters fighting monsters and humans with superhuman powers. Ichigo i had it with all the lies , tell me the truth " Tatsuki said to Ichigo.
" Shit, she could see spirits. She knows what's going on, that explains why Reiteki Hogosaegi didn't work on her and judging from these other guys here, it didn't work on them either . This is bad " Kon said to himself.
" I SAID TELL ME THE TRUTH ! " Tatsuki shouted as she punches Kon in the face and into a concrete wall.
" Tatsuki , what the fuck ? " Keigo shouted shocked to see her punch Kon.
" Clam down Tatsuki ! " Mizuo said to the angry raven haired tomboy.
" Have you completely lost your mind ? " Keigo shouted at her as he restrains her from behind but Tatsuki tosses Keigo aside.
" What do you think i am ? Are you really my firend ? How many times have i saved you from bullies ? How many times have i helped you in your time of need ? Stop hiding stuff from me Ichigo ! You idiot " Tatsuki shouted as she throws a series of punches with tears in her eyes but each of them miss Kon.
" Sorry Tatsuki ! " Kon stated as he hits her in the back of the head and walks away.
" Ichigo, how dare you hurt Tatsuki ? " Chizuru shouted only to get knocked out by Kon as well.
" Why are you acting this way ? " Keigo shouted only to be knocked out.
" Damn it Ichigo, what's wrong with you ? " Mizuiro asked only to be knocked out as well.
" Sorry guys but this is for your own good, it's best you don't witness the terror going on right now " Kon said to them as he walks away from them.
Back at Downtown Karakura Town
The water wave destroys 8,000 buildings within a 2 mile radius extending from as far west as Mizuno's house at the city limits to Naruki city where the barrier is at to Uryu's house within the Kitakawase district easily destroying 1/3 of the entire city and causing the Onose and Karasu rivers to overflow causing flooding of waters up to 4 feet to cover everything within a 1 mile radius of the rivers. The sewers of the city is overflowed causing flooding of water up to a 1 foot high across the whole city. Everything within a 2 mile radius is under 100 feet of water. The energy of the flood is equivalent to 156.2 Kilotons of TNT, over 10 times the Hiroshima Bomb yield .
" Here i come ! " Kisame shouted as he moves at high-speed causing Yoruichi to dodge his attack as it creates a massive shockwave which Yoruichi manages to dodge.
" I guess i have no choice do i ! Maul Togeneko(刺突の猫爪 Piercing Cat) " Yoruichi chanted as she draws her blade again and creates a massive yellow energy wave .
" Interesting and just how you plan on beating me with such a meager power increase ? " Kisame asked Yoruichi as the smoke clears up.
Yoruichi emerges out of the dust cloud with two black metal gloves with and boots with toe claws, the claws on her hands are golden and are similar in design to Soifon's Shikai. Yoruichi is more hunched over like a cat .
" Allow me to show you how much stronger and faster i've become " Yoruichi said to Kisame.
" Bring it on ! " Kisame replied as she prepares to fight Yoruichi and swings his massive sword at Yoruichi but he misses.
" Too slow ! " Yoruichi stated as she moved at 594,000 ft/sec (405,000 MPH). Yoruichi moved so fast that Kisame is slashed across the chest before he can even notice the attack.
" Impossible, she didn't even move ! How much faster has she become ? " Kisame said to himself as he struggles to stand from such a deep cut.
"Counterattacking me won't work this time around no matter how strong you are . My speed in this form is over 525 times the speed of sound ,even your raw power can't hope to keep up with my raw speed " Yoruichi explained to Kisame.
" Don't get cocky ! " Kisame replied as he charges at Yoruichi.
" Not fast enough ! " Yoruichi shouted as she does a right roundhouse kick on Kisame knocking the Tailless Tailed Beast 1 mile away from her and then using her high-speed to easily catch up with Kisame " Hakuda # 16 . Senfītoha(千フィート刃 Thousand feet blades ) " Yoruichi chanted as she kicks Kisame 824 times in 5 seconds " Hakuda 5. Kyūsokuna Supinkikku(急速なスピンキック Rapid Spin Kick) " Yoruichi shouted as she does 5 spin kicks to Kisame's face then launches him up 300 feet in the air and then does a downward kick knocking the Akatsuki down to the ground.
" Damn it ! She's too fast, i can't counter her strikes ! " Kisame said to himself as he struggles to get back up with blood coming out of his stomach and head.
" You're not getting away Hakuda # 19 Raiōken (雷王拳, Thunder King Fist ) " Yoruichi shouted as she does 872 rapid punches to Kisame in 6 seconds which causes the water to rise 100 feet high within a 4,000 foot radius of Yoruichi. Yoruichi then jumps back out of the water wave .
Out of the smoke emerges Kisame with stab wounds all across his chest and bruises all over his blue body with blood coming out of the wounds with his face resembling a victim of several hammer blows.
" Heeheheheheh ! I like the fight you put up ! " Kisame smiled as he heals every wound on his body.
" Damn it , this guy isn't getting tired out at all ! " Yoruichi said to herself.
" You definitely got bite , it's rare i fight beauties like you and i must say i'm enjoying every minute of it as we speak " Kisame said to Yoruichi.
"I got to end this quickly ! " Yoruichi said to herself as she then moves again at 594,000 ft/sec (405,000 MPH) and aims for Kisame's neck but once she reaches Kisame begins to slow down .
" Too slow ! " Kisame said to Yoruichi as he blocks her attack.
" What the hell ? " Yoruichi shouted.
" I forgot to mention that Samehada isn't my only method of sucking Chakra away , as long i'm around any form of water, i can steal Chakra from my foe " Kisame said to Yoruichi.
" Still doesn't explain how i slow down so much ! " Yoruichi stated.
" You're Flash Step isn't any different from the Body Flicker . You gather spiritual particles under your feet and boost your legs and body to extreme speeds, it's the same with your ability to walk on the air or our ability to walk on water . As long as i have all this water, i can counter even your high-speed movement creating a barrier around me that double the speed i can absorb your Chakra " Kisame explained to Yoruichi.
" I must admit, that's pretty clever to develop such a high defense against my Shunpo and even more so you thought it up on the spot " Yoruichi stated.
" I'm not some slack-jawed dumb brute who's only known for his devilish handsome good looks , i have a brain underneath all this muscle. Still you're much faster than expected, even with my speed reducing barrier you still move faster than me but at least i can catch you which makes it all the more fun " Kisame replied.
" I guess you have a point, it'll be pretty boring if i killed you before i got the rust out of these claws " Yoruichi stated in a playful tone clasping her claws together licking them.
" Now, let's say we finally get down to business! " Kisame replied shouting like a manic charging at Yoruichi.
Meanwhile at Karakura High School
Kon rushes up to the rooftop to tell them bad news.
" We got problems ! " Kon shouted.
" What is it Kon ? " Rukia asked him.
" Ichigo's friends are still here and worse yet know everything about what's happening here " Kon explained to Rukia.
" I knew something like this would happen , Damn that Ichigo for constantly leaking Reiatsu like it was nothing. Next time we're around, he's being put under Gentei Reiin(限定霊印,Soul-Limiting Symbol ) " Rukia stated.
Suddenly Momo arrives on the rooftop with Izuru being held there with his leg badly poisoned.
" What happened to him ? " Rukia asked Momo.
" He's been poisoned badly ! " Momo answered.
" I see, bring him here ! " Orihime replied as Izuru is carried there only for Rangiku to arrive with Mizuho and Yumichika with Ikkaku.
" Rangiku, who's that girl you're carrying ? " Rukia asked her .
" A High-Spec Human we found in the middle of the warzone " Rangiku answered.
" Damn it, these Shinobi are releasing so much Reiatsu at once that not only are they destroying everything in their path but they are influencing the human world as well " Rukia stated.
" Orihime , Ikkaku is hurt badly, can you heal him ? " Yumichika asked the busty ginger.
Suddenly Ururu comes down with the mod souls on a magic carpet carrying the injured bodies of Jinta and Renji who were injured badly in their fight with Itachi with Don Kanonji riding on the back looking around amazed he's flying.
" Renji ! " Rukia shouted as she rushes to grab him.
" I can't believe i'm flying ! " Don Kanonji said to the group.
" So Don Kanonji is a High Spec human as well ? " Rangiku asked them.
" I remember him, he once help Ichigo slay a normal Hollow, i was there where it all happened " Rukia answered.
" I see . Sadly he's no help against these powerhouses known as the Akatsuki " Rangiku replied.
" I know what you guys mean, my Cannonballs never failed me and yet they tanked it with ease " Don Kanonji said to the team.
" Those guys are monsters, the one Hitsugaya is fighting is on par with a Vasto Lorde with 5 hearts and each of them are hollow like monsters " Rangiku explained to Rukia.
" I fought a man who used explosive clay and have mouths within his hands " Rukia explained to the team.
" And the guy we fought was so powerful, he effortlessly tanked Renji's Bankai bare handed " Cloud stated.
" And that bad man hurt Jinta too ! " Ururu replied.
" These Akatsuki are much more powerful than even the Bounts " Nova said to the team.
" And their special powers make them tougher than most Arrancars too " Yumichika explained to the team.
" The damage being done to Karakura Town is beyond comparison ! " Rukia replied.
" Stand back guys, i'm going to heal them all at once " Orihime said to the group as she summons energy around her "Gather Together Shun Shun Rikka (盾舜六花, Six Flowers of the Hibiscus Shield) " Orihime chanted as she gathers all her fairies back together.
" What are your orders ? " the fairies asked her.
" Tsubaki and Shun'ō , heal Ikkaku and treat that fatal stab to his diaphragm " Orihime answered as Tsubaki and Shun'ō go to heal Ikkaku.
" Lily , Hinagiku , heal Jinta of his shrapnel wounds " Orihime said to Lily.
" Okay ! " both of them replied as they go to tend to the badly wounded redhead superhuman child who has several metal pieces of his broken Muteki Tekkon lounged into his small and large intensities and right lung.
" Baigon, Ayame heal Izuru of the poison in his right leg and remove the cyst and infection in the leg " Orihime commanded the two.
" Right ! " both of them replied as he goes to heal the poison in Izuru's leg .
Orihime them tends to Renji who has the nastiest injuries . Renji is suffering from a compressed rib cage and broken arm and also has blood coming out of his forehead . Renji also has a massive horizontal slash across his pectorals cutting deep into his ribcage and a vertical cut on his right shoulder almost amputating Renji as the chop cut through the bone. Renji also has a ruptured stomach from Itachi's kick and fractures on his neck. Renji is barely breathing.
" Renji! Renji !" Rukia shouted as she holds onto her badly beaten lover.
" Don't worry , i'll heal him myself . It's a miracle he's even alive from all these injuries " Orihime said to Rukia.
" That just shows how more durable us Shinigmai are compared to an average human " Rukia replied as she watches Orihime heal Renji.
" Looks like you mastered Sōten Kisshun (双天帰盾, Twin Sacred Return Shield) and can use it's power without the fairies " Rangiku said to Orihime.
" Yeah thanks to Unohana ! " Orihime replied.
Shinji, Hachigen and Love appear at the rooftop of the school to talk with them.
" Hows everything going here ? " Shinji asked the team.
" Fine, everyone is safe for now ! " Rukia answered.
" You see the level of destruction going on out there ? It's best we set up additional barriers around this place and have Hachigen and Love stand guard with me . You do not want to interfere at this point " Shinji stated.
" Tell me about it ! " Rangiku replied.
" Take that High Spec down with the rest of them, Donny boy, you go with the Bount sensors and make sure they're alright and act as the shield incase they come to take Ichigo's friends , protect those children " Shinji said to Don Kanoji .
" Right ! " Don Kanonji replied as he heads out downstairs with Kon " It's good seeing you again my #1 pupil "
" Same here Don Kanonji ! " Kon replied as they head downstairs .
" Ichigo , i wonder how you're doing out there ? " Orihime asked herself as she looks at a distance seeing explosions taking place.
Meanwhile at the Gakuenchou district
1 mile east of the high school , Ichigo is running from the clay minions while Deidara is flying in the air.
" What's wrong Ichigo Kurosaki ? Is that Bankai only for running ? " Deidara asked Ichigo as Ichigo then stops.
" I wasn't running, i was luring you out so my friends don't get hurt " Ichigo answered.
" How noble, too bad that doesn't change shit ! " Deidara replied as Ichigo is surrounded by 50 misshapen creatures .
" Bring it on! These things are a joke to me ! " Ichigo stated as he charges in head first into the monsters.
Ichigo cuts down one of the clay minions with his Bankai which splits into another set of clones . The clay clones then come at Ichigo and try to explode but Ichigo moves out of the way dodging the 6 explosions.
" Not bad Kurosaki but let's see you dodge more of this clones " Deidara stated as he creates 500 exploding minions to charge at Ichigo at high-speed .
One of the creatures come to kick Ichigo but the orange haired Shinigmai dodges the counters with a kick to one of the clay minions, then punches the clay minions with an upward slash . Ichigo ducks down to avoid a punch and counters by stabbing one of the clay minions and firing a Getsuga Tenshō through them destroying one, and then dodges the other others attacks who are using club-like arms and try to attack blocks an kick aimed at his head and then sees another clay minion come at him with there are 3 clay minions after of them form a sword but Ichigo catches that one barehanded.
" Kuro Tsukigata ( 黒月形 Black crescent Moon ) " Ichigo swings his sword 360 degrees to create an barrier-like blast to deflect all the creatures away only for the clay minions to divide into 1,000 " What the hell ? " Ichigo asked shocked to see all of them surround him.
" You see, cutting is useless against them, no matter how powerful your attacks are " Deidara answered.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo shouted as he sees them surrounded by clones.
" You think that's bad, look around you ! " Deidara replied as he has thousands of clay spiders and clay birds around Ichigo.
" What the hell ? " Ichigo asked Deidara.
" Let's see you dodge this Art is an Explosion " Deidara shouted.
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as the explosion creates a massive 1,700 foot radius explosion leveling 150 buildings around the neighborhood producing 84.4 Tons of TNT explosive force.
" What a disappointment, i thought you would put up a better fight than that Kurosaki " Deidara said to Ichigo in the smoke cloud.
" Sorry, am i too slow for you ? " Ichigo said to Deidara appearing behind Deidara .
" What the hell ? " Deidara asked sweating to see Ichigo behind him revealing that the 168 foot diameter, 27 foot deep crater is empty.
" Then allow me to speed things up for you ! " Ichigo answered as he goes to cut Deidara's head off .
" Damn it, i barely have the time to react ! " Deidara stated to himself as he barely dodges Ichigo's sword swing by an inch by leaping 300 feet high .
Ichigo comes up close to Deidara with his high-speed moment.
" You're good at running away ! " Ichigo stated taunting Deidara as he appears in front of Deidara .
" I'm not running, i'm trying to keep my distance ! " Deidara replied as he throws a clay bomb into the ground blinding Ichigo and giving him time to escape Ichigo's reach and then lands on 300 feet away.
" Coward come back here ! " Ichigo shouted as he struggles to see from the smoke.
" Ha, typical meathead, you really are inexperienced. It's about winning at all cost Kurosaki " Deidara replied as he takes out more clay and shapes them into a barrage of large clay birds.
Meanwhile Tobi is watching the battle from a distance.
" It seems Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai is very fast , his power isn't as high as it was in the Shinobi world. Then again Naruto's Rasenshuriken surely did alot of damage to the kid and now he's fighting Deidara at just half his Bankai's original power . This kid is impressive, even with a diminished amount of power, he's still strong enough to be on the level of a Captain " Madara said to himself before switching back to his Tobi persona .
Back at the battlezone, Ichigo dodges a large claybrid blast from Deidara with ease then dodges another one. Deidara sends out 50 clay birds at Ichigo that home on to Ichigo.
" Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo chanted as he creates 12 after images of himself moving at 12,833 ft/sec ( 8,750 MPH).
" What the hell ? My bombs aren't even keeping up with him, worse yet he's moving so fast that i can't even keep up with him" Deidara asked himself getting nervous from seeing so many afterimages .
" What's wrong ? Can't follow me ? Am i too slow for you ? I can't still go a bit faster " Ichigo arrogantly taunted as he moves around Deidara while his clay clones struggle to keep up.
" Don't push your luck ! " Deidara replied shouting at Ichigo as he creates more claybrids to try hitting Ichigo causing 6 explosions and Ichigo jumps into the air .
" Hah, you missed me ! " Ichigo stated only to see hundreds of clay birds and clay spiders jumping up to attack Ichigo.
" I got you now Ichigo Kurosaki ! " Deidara taunted as all the bombs head towards Ichigo " Katsu " Deidara chanted as the explosion happens causing a 500 foot radius explosion.
" Those bombs have gotten faster ! " Ichigo said to himself.
" I adjusted my C-1 to follow your movements Ichigo, not even you can escape it " Deidara explained to Ichigo as all the clay minions then forge around Ichigo as all the clay clones all form into hundreds of clay tendrils .
" What the hell ? " Ichigo shouted as he's covered with clay by the tendrils.
" I got you now ! " Deidara laughed at Ichigo as he goes to do his handseals.
" That won't work ! " Ichigo replied as he uses a series of fast slashes to cut up all the clay around his body and disappears in front of Deidara's eyes.
" Where did he go ? " Deidara asked himself losing focus of his speed only to see Ichigo behind him.
" This is for attacking my town ! Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang) " Ichigo chanted as he swings down his sword with both hands and fires a powerful Black Getsuga Tenshō which cuts Deidara in half.
" SHIT ! " Deidara shouted as he's split in half from head to toe vertically.
" Deidara senpai ! " Tobi shouted as he sees a 1/4 mile long , 30 feet deep into the rock and 5 feet wide fissure going through the entire southern half of the Gakuenchou district cutting through 20 buildings cutting each building in half.
" That takes care of him ! " Ichigo said to Tobi as he holds his blade over his shoulder.
" DEIDARA SENPAI ! " Tobi cried as he holds on to his friend " He was a good man Look what you did to him " Tobi shouted as he throws the body at him which is revealed to be a clone .
" What the hell ? " Ichigo shouted only to see Deidara flying 1,000 feet above him.
" You feel for it, Tobi it's best you run ! " Deidara warned his partner .
" You think i can't outrun that ? " Ichigo asked only to sink into the ground and he 's stuck in the ground.
" Good job digging that hole in the ground for that idiot to fall into " Deidara said to Tobi.
" You're welcome, he fell for it Deidara senpai ! " Tobi replied.
" You assholes ! Damn you ! " Ichigo shouted.
" This Jibaku Bunshin(自爆分身Self-Destructing Clone) is going to be huge hmmmm. Art is an Explosion " Deidara shouted as the clone creates a massive 1,500 foot radius explosion.
The smoke clears up to reveal that Ichigo used his Reiatsu to reduce the damage from the blast as he stands within a 208 foot diameter, 57 foot deep crater producing 168.8 Tons of TNT . Ichigo is surrounded by a blue Reiatsu wave he used to shield himself from the blast while holding his blade with both hands.
" I see , you blocked with Reiatsu. I have to say, you're tougher than i thought , this should be fun " Deidara said to Ichigo.
" Bastards, you're going to pay for what you did here to my city! " Ichigo replied.
" You know what ? Let's raise the stakes Ichigo Kurosaki, Tobi go find the generator of Reiteki Hogosaegi and blow it up. I want to have a few human targets to practice on " Deidara said to Tobi.
" Right Deidara senpai ! " Tobi replied as he rushes out of the area.
" You bastards , come back here ! " Ichigo shouted as he chases after Tobi.
" Meanwhile i'll be stopping by your house to pay your family a visit , they're still here somehow which is a good thing " Deidara explained to Ichigo ? "
" Coward, what are they still doing here ? " Ichigo shouted.
" It's your choice, your family or this town! " Deidara said to Ichigo as he heads to the Kurosaki Clinic.
" DAMN YOU ! " Ichigo replied shouting at them.
Meanwhile at the 12th Division barracks
Mayuri manages to kill of the Zetsu clones.
" Looks like the lab has been cleared up " Mayuri said to Nemu while transforming his Shikai back to his sealed Zanpakutō and put's it back in his sheathe.
" Captain, it seems all the Shinobi attacking the lab where the same person that Kisuke's team killed off " Nemu explained to Mayuri as they look at the face of the Shinobi.
" I see, the enemy must of faked his death and used a time-delayed jutsu to create clones of himself that remained virtually undetectable by standard sensory techniques and even advanced tracking machines " Mayuri stated.
" Shall we activate the Senkaimon ? " Nemu asked Mayuri.
" Of course you idiot, we must get the Substitute Shinigmai and Inoue to the Soul Society and backup to the area " Mayuri answered.
Meanwhile at the Senkaimon Gate
Ukitake and the Kidō team wait at the gate with Kenpachi and Byakuya already mobilized to escort Orihime back safely and take over any fighting for Ichigo.
" Good, we've stabilized the dimensional passageway so it can transport humans like Inoue safely back to the Soul Society " Ukitake said to the group.
" I see, let's get to the fighting already ! " Kenpachi stated impatiently seeking combat .
" Your job is to first stay within the Dangai for a while and wait until Inoue comes back to the Soul Society , two unseated officers would go into the heavily guarded safezone within Karakura High School and retrieve Orihime, once they are within the Dangai , you two must ensure nothing happens to her " Ukitake explained to them.
" I heard there's some powerful enemies to cut down ! " Kenpachi replied.
" We must do our duty ! " Byakuya said to Kenpachi.
" Whatever, just don't get my in way ! " Kenpachi stated.
" Same here savage ! " Byakuya replied with two unseated officers rushing in first .
" Kenpachi and Byakuya would be a good security team backup. Those two are among the strongest and most experience Captains in the new generation, they would be well prepared to fight any threat trying to kidnap Orihime while she's traveling in the Dangai where she would be the most vulnerable " Ukitake said to himself.
Meanwhile within Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho
Hanataro and his unit has assembled in Unohana's barracks
" We have assembled here Captain Unohana " Hanataro said to Unohana as 50 members of the squad are ready to heal the patients.
" Good Job Hanataro ! " Unohana replied .
Suddenly Yamamoto walks into the room to talk with Unohana.
" Cancel the mission ! " Yamamoto said to Unohana.
" But Captain Commander, what about the injured ? " Unohana asked .
" This is too dangerous for them, once the 12th division took over again, we got reports they are two enemies with a power level over 1,000,000 RYK " Yamamoto explained to Unohana.
" I see, everyone stand down , i plan to go myself this time . I'll teach the Shinobi something about trampling with the lives of innocent people" Unohana replied with a smile as she draws out her Nodachi shaped Zanpakutō.
" Captain Unohana drew out her blade ! She's mad and her Reiatsu is flaring so violently even with a calm look on her face, i have a feeling the Shinobi are in serious trouble to have to deal with Unohana " Isane said to herself looking at Unohana's face.
Meanwhile at the Kitakasaswe district
Kukaku and Sasori are clashing attacks with each other within the flooded district 1 mile west of the massive flood waters caused by Kisame with 2 feet of water within the district.
" Senpen Banka (旋遍万花, Enveloping Whirl of Myriad Flowers) " Kukaku chanted as she throws a number of shakudama at her opponent.
" You think those puny fireworks are going to hurt me ? " Sasori asked Kukaku only to see Kukaku behind him .
" Hadō #31. Shakkahō (赤火砲, Red Fire Cannon) " Kukaku chanted as she creates a massive 300 foot radius explosion leveling 10 buildings within the area Sasori however was able to block the attack with ease .
" That attack isn't going to work ! " Sasori stated as he stands unfazed.
" How did you block that but not my punch earlier ? " Kukaku asked him.
" Because that old puppet isn't durable enough, not as durable as my body " Sasori answered as he takes out his katana and goes to cut Kukaku but the bust raven haired Shinigmai uses her Katana shaped Zanpakutō to clash with Sasori's katana .
" That makes no sense , why make armor weaker than your body ? " Kukaku asked Sasori.
" It's to act as decoy for an ambush and protect me from weak attacks " Sasori answered as he goes to slash Kukaku but the busty haired raven Shinigmai dodges the blow.
" Sōshūjin (操襲刃 Manipulating Attack Blades) " Sasori chanted as he summons 100 flying Kunai being held in the air with his Chakra. They all come flying at Kukaku . Kukaku uses Shunpo to dodge the blades but the blades go back to her from behind .
" That won't work ! " Kukaku replied as she dodges another series of kunai only to see the blades surrounding her in all directions.
" There's no escaping now ! " Sasori stated as the blades come towards Kukaku.
" Kakaku Shahō Niban: Kagizaki (花鶴射法二倍･拘咲, Crane Flower Archery Twofold Style: Wrestling Bloom) " Kukaku chanted as she creates a series of fireworks blinding Sasori.
" Damn it , i can't see ! " Sasori said to himself as he then sees Kukaku behind him with a shoulder mounted cannon .
" Kakaku Hō : Reisenkō(花鶴砲, 霊穿孔 Flower Crane Cannon, Spirit Piercer) " Kukaku chanted as she fires a small Reishūkaku at Sasori which Sasori barely evades as the core explodes leveling everything within a 300 foot radius leveling 10 buildings a half a mile west of Sasori leaving behind a 30 foot diameter and 10 foot deep crater.
" What the hell was that ? " Sasori asked Kukaku.
" This is known as the Kakaku Hō : Reisenkō(花鶴砲, 霊穿孔 Flower Crane Cannon, Spirit Piercer). It's a portable Kakaku Hō (花鶴砲, Flower Crane Cannon) that fires deadlyReishūkaku (霊集核, Spirit-Gathering Core) which uses my Reiryoku in order to generate and maintain a spherical shell of energy capable of piercing all Reiatsu or in your case, Chakra barriers and defenses. It can even pierce the Hierro of an Arrancar . Only a Captain class Shinigami in Bankai could negate the lethal power of the blast " Kukaku explained to Sasori as she loads up another round after using her energy to shape the charge with Reiatsu.
" I see , you have tools designed to fight and kill Shinobi and Arrancar ! " Sasori stated.
" Nah, it's just convenient these weapons could kill them . I run a fireworks shop with enough explosives to level a small country " Kukaku replied as she jumps in the air and fires 3 more shells at Sasori which create a series of explosions but after creating another 30 foot diameter crater and 100 foot deep crater. Sasori emerges with a barrier around him.
" Kikō Junbū (機光盾封 Mechanic Light Shield Seal) " Sasori chanted as he surrounds himself with a barrier.
" Impossible, how did you withstand that blast ? " Kukaku asked Sasori.
" That was impressive Kukaku however that isn't enough to beat me " Sasori answered as he uses a scroll to take out a scroll of paper bombs with kunai.
" This isn't good ! " Kukaku said to herself as she drops the canon and goes to dodge the attacks.
" Sōshūjin Burasuto(操襲刃 爆風Manipulating Attack Blades Blast) " Sasori chanted as he uses Chakra threads to throw exploding kunai at Kukaku who barely dodges the attacks. Kukaku then pulls out a Reishūkaku .
" Reishūkaku (霊集核, Spirit-Gathering Core) " Kukaku chanted as she causes the core to explode which forces Sasori to dodge the attack.
" Do you think that attack was enough to kill me ? " Sasori asked Kukaku as he leaps 300 feet in the air only to see Kukaku above him with her fist charged up .
" Hadō #63. Raikōhō (雷吼炮, Thunder Roar Sear ) " Kukaku chanted as she punches Sasori in the face and creates a 300 foot radius explosion in the air. The smoke clears up to reveal she hit a substitution log and Sasori lands on the ground.
" Not bad, you almost had me with that punch. You're everything your brother described you to be " Sasori said to Kukaku.
" What do you know about my brother ? " Kukaku asked Sasori.
" It's like i said, he now works with Lord Aizen " Sasori answered as he blocks a sword slash from Kukaku.
" That's impossible, he died 40 years ago ! " Kukaku stated as she avoids a slash from Sasori.
" Think of it Kukaku, 40 years is plenty of time for a reincarnated soul. Us Shinobi while powerful enough to fight you Shinigmai and Hollows are still limited to a normal humans lifespan " Sasori explained to Kukaku.
" But you guys are from a different world, how is it possible a human soul could even be reborn there much less have the memories of it's past life ? " Kukaku questioned the red-haired Shinobi.
" You seriously have to ask that ? Have you seen what we're capable of doing ? We resurrected Grand Fisher from the dead and even broke Shrieker from hell and radically increased their powers. Nothing is off-limits to us Shinobi , especially with Sosuke Aizen processing the Hōgyoku now " Sasori replied as he gets his distance from Kukaku.
" You bastards, what did you do to my brother ? " Kukaku shouted.
" We didn't do anything, it's more like what Lord Aizen did 40 years ago " Sasori replied.
" What are you talking about ? " Kukaku asked him.
" Did you think him being processed by a hollow was a coincidence ? The hollow Metastacia was created by Lord Aizen to test the limits of his powers with the Hōgyoku he made base on Kisuke's version. When Kaien, processed by Metastacia was killed in this world, Aizen purposely manipulated the reincarnation of his soul and now he's among our ranks in the Akatsuki and Espada " Sasori stated only to get a cut on his check .
" YOU BASTARDS! THIS IS UNFORGIVABLE ! Using my brother as a plaything, you Shinobi and Arrancar have no honor and i'm about to avenge my brother big time " Kukaku shouted as she releases energy from her Zanpakutō.
" What the hell are you doing ? " Sasori asked her.
" Ever since the day Kaien died, i vowed to never follow the path of the Shinigmai again. I was once an 8th seat within squad 11 then was 4th seat in squad 9 but after my brother died, i left the Gotei 13 and basically moved out the Rukongai to avoid being thrown in the Maggots Nest. As of a result, the Shiba clan lost status as none of us wanted to serve the Gotei 13! Now i know who to blame for the years of misery i went through, it's time i make an example of you and show what happens when you fuck with the Shiba Family ! Smash Raimeihamā (雷鳴ハマーThunderclap Hammer ) " Kukaku shouted as she releases a yellow Reiatsu that engulfs everything within a 300 foot radius in lightning .
Back at Downtown Karakura Town
Yoruichi senses Kukaku's spiritual power rising .
" Kukaku, her power is rising fast . Could she be releasing her Shikai ? " Yoruichi thinks to herself as she sees the lightning aura from a distance only to see Kisame coming at her .
" Don't just stand around there, one misstep and your pretty little head would be rolling beneath my feet " Kisame said to Yoruichi.
" Don't get arrogant, even distracted ,your attacks are too slow and straightforward to hit me " Yoruichi stated.
" Look who's talking, i'm holding back to make this fight more fun ! " Kisame replied.
" Same here fish face ! " Yoruichi responded as they resume their fight.
" Me and Itachi need to hold back so we don't end up killing our teammates...Well Hidan would be okay and Kakuzu could hold out with his 5 hearts. Still we don't want our targets dying unnecessary. Unless Yoruichi and Kisuke use Bankai , i won't go past 30% power " Kisame said to himself as he fights Yoruichi .
Meanwhile at the Ruins of Kisuke's shop
Itachi and Kisuke clash swords with each other with Kisuke in Shikai while Itachi is using his Sharingan and ANBU katana.
" Is that Kukaku using her Shikai ? " Kisuke asked himself as he senses her Reiatsu but is then almost hit by Itachi.
" You're letting yourself get distracted Kisuke ! " Itachi said to the former Captain of Squad 12 as he comes at him with a stab but Kisuke blocks the blow.
" Jeez man, can't i have a bit of thinking time without you trying to kill me ? " Kisuke sarcastically asked Itachi.
" I wouldn't take the Akatsuki lightly if i were you " Itachi answered as he comes at Kisuke with a right roundhouse kick but Kisuke blocks with his Shikai.
" Someone lacks a sense of humor " Kisuke stated as he uses a one hand sword lunge but Itachi dodges the hit.
" It's not necessary when it comes to being a Shinobi ! " Itachi replied.
Meanwhile at Karakura High School
Rukia and the others sense an intense Reiatsu from a far distance.
" What is that huge Reiatsu ? It's almost at the level of a Captain " Rukia asked the team.
" That Reiatsu is around 15,000 RYK " Rangiku answered.
" Who is producing that much Reiatsu ? It's on the same level as my Bankai " Renji asked them.
" It must be Kukaku Shiba's Shikai " Shinji answered.
" Wait, Kukaku has a Shikai ? " Rukia asked him.
" Of course she does, she's after all the former 4th seat of squad 9 ! " Shinji replied.
" I thought she was a very tough chick, still how does she have so much spiritual power ? " Renji questioned the bucktooth former Captain.
" It's because she trained hard to try surpassing her brother and had a friendly rivalry with each other but they cared about each other. Kukaku was the oldest sibling of the family being nearly 320 years old while Ganju is now 160 and if Kaien were alive, he'll be 300 years old " Shinji explained to the team
" Wait, Ganju's only 160 ? He looks much older ...in a bad way " Rukia stated.
" Tell us more about Kukaku Shiba ? " Renji asked Shinji.
" Very well then ! " Shinji replied.
Meanwhile at the Kitakasaswe district
Kukaku comes out of the cloud with a giant black hammer with the Kanji of Lightning at one end and spikes around the head of the hammer. The handle is 11 feet long, twice the length and height of Kukaku while the hammer-head is 2 feet in diameter and 6 feet long.
" So that's your powerful weapon ? " Sasori asked Kukaku .
" Yep that's right , let's give this baby a spin " Kukaku answered as she swings her massive hammer which generates enough force to blow up a nearby 5 story building with ease with the force of the swing just 100 feet away. Sasori is forced to dodge the attack jumping into the air avoiding her attack. Kukaku uses Shunpo to appear behind Sasori and goes to swing the hammer with her left prosthetic arm.
" She's fast !" Sasori said to himself as he tires to block with his katana but the force of the hammer breaks the katana with ease.
" I forgot to mention that Raimeihamā (雷鳴ハマーThunderclap Hammer ) has the power to rip through defense combining my raw strength and the weight of the hammer as well as the spikes and lightning around the massive weapon. Blocking is useless " Kukaku explained to Sasori.
" Damn , this woman is no joke ! " Sasori said to himself as he sees Kukaku doing her stance.
" Ordinarily, it goes against my pride to use your techniques brother but to avenge your death, i don't care about my ego right now " Kukaku said to herself as she uses one wrist as the center of rotation to enhance the strength of her strikes.
Kukaku comes at Sasori with her lightning charged hammer using one wrist as the center of rotation while using constantly flowing lightning with every arc and swing and each crushing blow creates large shockwaves that level anything it hits . Sasori dodges Kukaku's blows with her massive hammer.
" She's using Kaien's stance , while not as fast or fluid as Kaien her raw power with that hammer is impressive no less. She can wield that monstrous hammer with one hand and still move pretty fast with it . Still Kaien never told me about those abilities of hers, she must of gained this extra power after he died. Regardless she'll make a great collection to my puppet collection " Sasori said to himself.
Kukaku uses both hands to create an upward swing that emits a lightning wave which Sasori barely dodges only to see Kukaku jumping up and goes to hit Sasori but the puppetmaster dodges the blows as the blow levels everything within a 300 foot radius.
" Quit running coward ! " Kukaku shouted as Sasori as she chases after the puppetmaster.
Kukaku swing around her hammer creating shockwaves around her as she leaps into the air again and goes to smash Sasori but the puppetmaster dodges the attack. Sasori evade another strike from Kukaku as she charges right at him and smashes the ground with Sasori barely escaping.
" That attack is strong, this woman is scary. Still i'm fine as long as i stay away from her attacks , after all she doesn't have the range to hit me from a ..." Sasori said to himself only to see Kukaku charged up a strike.
" What you saw was a practice swing, here's the real deal " Kukaku shouted as she moves her hammer with lightning " Tengoku Sandāsuto (天国サンダーストHeaven Thunder Strike ) " Kukaku shouted as she swings her hammer downward and creates a lightning fissure which almost hits Sasori and creates a massive 500 foot radius explosion leveling 15 buildings and forcing the Akatsuki to dodge the blast.
Sasori stands at the other side of a 75 foot diameter, 20 foot deep crater staring down at Kukaku from the west end of the crater with Kukaku producing 39 Tons of TNT.
" Not bad, you're more powerful than i thought ! " Sasori said to Kukaku.
" Thanks but i'm only getting started ! " Kukaku replied.
" Your Unique upper body stance...Spear techniques reminiscent of a dance using one wrist as the center of rotation while using constantly flowing lightning with every arc and slash, and each crushing blow creates large shockwaves, i can tell you based your Shikai on the likeness of Kaien Shiba " Sasori said to Kukaku commenting on her fighting style.
" How do you know about my brothers fighting style ? " Kukaku asked him.
" Me and his human reincarnation spar with each other all the time . Me and him share so much in common it's almost sickening, just picture how much stronger your brother has become now that he has the powers of a hollow ,Shinigami and Shinobi. It was thanks to him and my skills that we were able to forge this puppet together " Sasori said to Kukaku as he pulls out a scroll from underneath his robe.
" What the hell are you talking about ? " Kukaku shouted.
" If you think this is over, you have another thing coming. I been toying with you so far , it's time i show you something special " Sasori answered as he pulls out a scroll reading 3.
" 3 ? " Kukaku asked with a stumped look on his face.
" This one was the hardest to get but this is what makes it my ultimate weapon, i have your brother to thank for this one " Sasori stated as his body glows with light purple Chakra round the scroll and his puppet.
" What is that? " Kukaku asked.
" This is Sandaime Kazekage Ningyō (三代目風影,人形Third Kazekage Puppet)" Sasori stated.
" Sandaime Kazekage Ningyō ? " Kukaku asked with confusion .
" That's right this here is the body of the 3rd Kazekage . It's all thanks to my poisons, my poisons are the strongest in the history of the Shinobi world. It kills anything regardless of how powerful they are, combine it with my puppet techniques, i was able to outwit and eventually outlast the Third Kazekage. It was no easy battle for me as i myself nearly died however i not only killed him but maintain his powers as well, all thanks to your brother " Sasori explained to Kukaku as he has his puppet come at the fireworks dealer with retractable blades in the formation of a claw on the right arm.
" Damn it , he's fast . And the fact he killed a Kage of all people, this guy is going to be a serious problem " Kukaku said to herself as she blocks the attack using both hands on her Shikai but is pushed back 20 feet but regains her balance.
" I should warn you, one hit of my special poison and your dead. This dosage of poison kills by turning one's Chakra or in you case Reiatsu into a destructive claysit destroying every organ in your body, if even a small amount is introduced into the bloodstream, you will die within three days while also being painfully paralyzed for the duration. At this point you can be 100 times stronger than me and still die " Sasori explained to Kukaku gloating the deadly poison ability
" Why warn me? You just blew your secret ! " Kukaku asked the puppetmaster.
" Because i know there's no way you can evade my attacks, your weaker than me " Sasori laughed as he has his third Kazekage puppet come at Kukaku .
" This is bad ! " Kukaku said to herself as she prepares for a tough fight.
Meanwhile at Karakura Highschool
Shinji is explaining Kukaku's backstory to everyone.
" Kukaku was trained and taught Kidō by Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko. At age 180 she graduated from the academy in top marks in Kidō but her strength was only average as well as Zanjutsu skill. She was then 20th seat of Squad 2 and was trained and taught by Yoruichi. Her mother Taki Shiba served alongside Lucas Shihōin, the father of Yoruichi before Yoruichi took over so the two had a close bond with each other since childhood " Shinji explained to the team.
" Close bond ? " Rukia asked.
" Kukaku's bisexual, she had an open gay relationship with Yoruichi for at least 20 years prior to her graduation and both Yoruichi and Kisuke had a threeway relationship with Kukaku at some point before Yoruichi fell in love with the current commander of the Onmitsukidō but enough of that..Kukaku trained herself to fight and defeat Kaien despite the fact Kaien was Lieutenant level and she wasn't. Kaien was striving to achieve Bankai and was rumored to have secretly achieved Bankai but wanted to master it before telling anyone and it's believed that he come close to mastering Bankai around the same time Kukaku achieved Shikai and wanted to duel to see who was the stronger sibling but the tragic death of Kaien made Kukaku fall into a great depression and she left the Gotei 13 " Shinji explained to the group.
" Still how did she get this strong ? " Renji asked Shinji.
" Kukaku trained for 100 years to learn Shikai , she thought she could never achieve that power so to make up for her inability to use Shikai, she psychically trained her body and mind to make herself fight on the level of a Vice Captain. Even without Shikai, she gave her brother a good fight but could never beat him in battle . Her power increased greatly since she learned it but she's very rusty , i doubt she could hold out that long " Shinji explained to the group.
" Allow me to help out ! " Chad said the group.
" Same here ! " Renji replied as he gets back up from being healed up.
" Yeah, the opponent Kukaku is fighting is Captain class, Kukaku at most could only hold her own for a while. I doubt even someone as tough as her could win against the likes of the Akatsuki " Shinji stated.
" It's not just that , the foe i fought has a lethal poison that can kill even Kages . If it hits any of you guys , you're all dead , she can't fight him herself " Izuru said to team as he stands up with a needle in his hand with several needles.
" Where are you going ? " Rangiku asked him.
" To aid the team ! " Izuru answered.
" What ? Izuru , you're not Captain class , you wouldn't stand a chance " Rangiku stated.
" Thanks to Orihime treating my wounds, i was able to collect a sample of her Reiatsu within my blood containing some of her energy. I have enough for at 5 people " Izuru explained to the group.
" Then let me come along ! " Momo stated.
" Fine, we can use your Kidō skills ! " Izuru replied.
" So there's no room for me ? " Rangiku asked.
" I don't have enough for you ! " Izuru answered.
" Get back safely okay Izuru ! " Rangiku stated as she hugs her lover.
" Okay Rangiku ! Maybe you should help your Captain ! " Izuru responded.
" Nah, Htisugaya's foe is too strong for me or any of us here ! " Rangiku replied.
" I see what you mean, Kukaku's foe is around 15,000 RYK. The foe Hitsugaya is fighting is far stronger than that " Izuru stated looking at his foe.
" It's best we stay here and keep guard of the High Specs and Inoue " Rangiku replied.
" Orihime, thanks for helping me with the antidote and healing my leg " Izuru said to the ginger.
" You're welcome ! " Orihime replied as she heals Ikkaku of his fatal wound with Yumichika at his side.
" Ikkaku you're alive ! " Yumichika said to Ikkaku as he hugs his best friend.
" That was too close for comfort , had not for Orihime's healing abilities i would be dead " Ikkaku stated.
" Had not for your bravery, Mizuho's soul would of been destroyed by shinobi chakra and thus unable to go to the Soul Society " Yumichika explained to Ikkaku.
" Good thing for that, i couldn't live with myself if i can't protect an innocent life " Ikkaku replied.
" So are you going back to the battlefield ? " Yumichika asked Ikkaku.
" Nah, i'm done for the day . It's bad enough Captain Hitsugaya and Rangiku know my secret , i don't need anyone else knowing. Besides it takes awhile to reactivate Bankai and given all these Reiatsu's are Captain level or higher, i'll just end up dying or getting in the way " Ikkaku explained to Yumichika.
" That's very mature of you to say ! " Yumichika replied.
Meanwhile Jinta is fully healed of his wounds and his club was restored .
" Boy, that was too close for comfort ! " Jinta said to Ururu.
" Jinta ! " Ururu cheerfully stated as she hugs Jinta.
" Thanks Inoue ! " Jinta said to Orihime.
" Your welcome ,it was nothing really ! " Orihime replied with modesty.
" You're a real lifesaver Orihime ! " Rinrin stated.
" God knows where everyone would be without you ! " Cloud stated.
" Yeah Orihime, had not for you intervening, i would be dead from that terrorist bomber " Rukia stated.
" Not to mention the time she saved me from that lunatic hollowfied Shinobi " Rangiku said to the team thinking back to Anko's curse mark rampage.
" And you healed all of us back at the Battle of Konoha " Yumichika said to Orihime.
" Ichigo was right all along, i'm really not a burden after all " Orihime thinks to herself as she blushes thinking about Ichigo.
Suddenly the Senkaimon opens up to see two unseated officers coming alongside Orihime .
" Looks like the backup has arrived ! " Shinji said to the group.
" Byakuya and Kenpachi are waiting for Orihime within the Dangai, we need her to come to the Soul Society " one of unseated officers said to Shinji.
" Okay Orihime , you know what to do ? " Shniji asked her.
" I'll be waiting for Ichigo in the Soul Society " Orihime answered.
" You been a great help to all of us , take care " Rukia said to Orihime as she hugs Orihime.
" Bye guys, i'll see you all later. Take care you guys and don't die ! " Orihime replied as she goes to the Senkaimon with the unseated officers.
" With Kenpachi and Byakuya at the Dangai, there's no room for ambushes . Even if the enemy is an Espada, he'll have a very difficult time fighting just one of them let alone both of them and even if he's stronger than them, they should hold them off for a while so Orihime can make her way back to the Soul Society and with Unohana coming into Karakura Town to replace Orihime as a healer , shall the enemy prove too tough for Kenpachi and Byakuya must contend with the all-powerful Unohana and if he has any friends with him, Me and Love would jump in. There's no way the enemy has a chance taking Orihime while in the Dangai " Shinji said to himself.
Meanwhile at the Yumisawa Children's Park
Ryūken and Uryū casually walks around the ruins of the park destroyed by Uryū's Sprenger which left behind a square-shaped crater . Ryūken and Uryū jump into the pt where Ryūken then goes to deactivate his Gritz he trapped Hidan in and Hidan comes out pissed off.
" YOU MOTHERFUCKER ! How dare you trap me within the damn fucking seal ? I'm going to kill you and your son " Hidan shouted as he hops on the circle.
" Shit ! He's on the circle , do something dad or i'm dead " Uryū shouted.
" Hahahahaha! can you shoot me without killing your son ? Also long as i'm here, you can't... " Hidan shouted only to get shot through the heart.
" Uryū, do you remember what Orihime's powers are ? " Ryūken asked Uryū.
" Of course . Orihime's Sōten Kisshun rejects, reverses, and reconstructs phenomena that have occurred " Uryū answered.
" The shield placed inside means that they repel the damage within a limited area. In other words, they return a subject covered by the shield to the state that they were before taking damage. Her ability is to limit, reject, and negate any kind of event that has happened to her target. It is an ability that returns her target to its former state no matter what has happened to them. Because of her abilities, you're no longer under his curse " Ryūken explained to Uryū.
" Impossible, why won't that dumb fucking Quincy die ? " Hidan shouted as he stabs himself in the heart multiple times with his pike on his circle.
" I see, you think you still have control of my sons body ? It was thanks to that girl you were hired to kidnap my son is cured of your curse Jutsu. Orihime's are far more powerful than Jashin as it easily tramples into the horizon of events that your God Jashin has decided " Ryūken calmly stated.
" MOTHERFUCKER! HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY CEREMONY! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU AND THAT SHIT HEADED ATHEIST GINGER BITCH FOR MOCKING JASHIN ! " Hdian shouted with intense fury as he charges at Ryūken.
" Ryūken look out ! " Uryū shouted as Ryūken stands there unfazed by Hidan's wild slashes as the white-haired Shinobi moves 12,833 ft/sec ( 8,750 MPH) but Ryuken uses his bow on his right hand to block Hidan's two-handed slash with his scythe.
" Is that all you got ? " Ryūken said to Hidan .
" What ? How are you blocking that attack with that small bow ? " Hidan asked Ryūken as he struggles to cut through the bow pressing down with all his power but Ryuken stands there unfazed.
" It's because that attack was sloppy ! " Ryūken answered as he fires another bow nonchalantly hitting Hidan in the face pushing him back 50 feet.
" Incredible, Ryūken blocked that high-speed attack with ease. The speed that Shinobi was moving in, he was moving as fast as Ichigo in his Bankai state. Just how powerful are you dad ? " Uryū said to himself.
" Damn you ! Don't get so cocky ! Souru Hanto(ソウルハントSoul Hunt) " Hidan shouted as he launches a series of 79 powerful slashes in seconds but Ryūken easily blocks each hit with his bow.
" Incredible, he blocked all those hits with just his bow , he's strong " Uryū said to himself as he watched Ryūken stand there while Hidan struggles tom fight.
" Are you finished ? I have to teach my son how to fight " Ryūken asked Hidan as he kicks Hidan 300 feet high out of the crater and then jumps up to attack him while Hidan is down.
" Incredible , my father is PWNing that immortal ! " Uryū said to himself as he sees his father attack.
" Klavier (German for Piano) " Ryūken chanted as he fires a multitude of 1,201 arrows per second one-handed and at rapid speed with all of them hitting Hidan.
" ARRRGH! That hurts ! " Hidan shouted as he's turned into a pincushion.
" Now that i'm warmed up , let's get busy " Ryūken said to Hidan as Uryū gets back up from the crater.
" What are you doing ? " Uryū asked his father.
" Stand back and watch and learn ! " Ryūken answered as Hidan charges at Ryuken.
" Die ! " Hidan shouted as he charges at Ryūken with his scythe but he misses and Ryuken appears behind him tipping his glasses.
" You're too slow, that pathetic copy of the Quincy Hirenkyaku can never compare to the real deal " Ryūken stated calmly as he shoots Hidan in the neck.
" ARRGH! Motherfucker ! " Hidan shouted as he takes the arrow to his neck.
" Watch and learn Uryu, this technique i'm going to use is called Streuschuss ( Greman for Scatter Shot ) " Ryūken said to his son as he fires a shotgun-like pattern of arrows that hit Hidan up close causing the immortal to get hurt.
" Awesome ! I didn't think you can scatter arrows like that " Uryū stated.
" Well of course you didn't, i just taught it to you son. That attack is good against close range targets who come to close to attacking you and trades accuracy with stopping power " Ryūken explained to Uryū as Hidan gets back up to attack Ryūken from behind.
" Try dodging me this close you bitch ! " Hidan yelled at Ryūken as he goes to cut the middle-aged Quincy.
" Please ! " Ryūken calmly replied as he kicks Hidan then uses Hirenkyaku to elbow Hidan from behind knocking him down.
" ARRGH ! " Hidan shouted as he struggles to get back up.
" Don't interfere with my teaching session . As a punching bag, you should just stay there and take the hits " Ryūken calmly taunted Hidan.
" You bastard! I'M NOT YOUR FUCKING PUNCHING BAG ! " Hidan replied as he gets back up and goes to attack Ryūken.
" You're going to be a stubborn target to kill ! " Ryūken said to Hidan as they resume their fight.
Meanwhile at the Remains of the Sukari Building
Ichigo chases Tobi with his Bankai while Tobi comically runs for his life as they arrive at the location of the backup Reiteki Hogosaegi machine within the remains of the Sukari Building which is 3.5 miles south of Karakura High School and they begin their fight there.
" Deidara Senpai..Somebody,anybody HELP ! " Tobi shouted as he runs from Ichigo.
" You're not destroying that machine ! " Ichigo shouted as he pursues Tobi while Tobi is holding 5 Paper Bomb balls.
" Shit , he's gaining on me ! " Tobi shouted as he's about to be caught by Ichigo.
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo chanted as he fires a normal blue Getsuga at Tobi but the blast passes through him and almost destroys the machine " What the hell ? How did you dodge that ? " Ichigo shouted.
" Dodge what ? " Tobi asked Ichigo playing dumb.
" Don't play stupid with me ! " Ichigo shouted as he swings his Bankai sword at Tobi but Tobi easily dodges it.
" Easy, sharp objects can hurt people ! " Tobi stated.
" Don't take me as a joke Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo chanted as he creates 12 afterimages of himself moving at 12,833 ft/sec ( 8,750 MPH).
" Boy my head is spinning , there's so many of you guys ! " Tobi shouted confused from the clones as Ichigo goes to attack Tobi from behind.
" Noko Kuroi Getsuga( 鋸黒月牙 Sawing Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo shouted as he swings downward trying to cut Tobi in half but the blade passes through him " What the hell is this guy ? My attack hit him directly and it just passed through him like he's a hologram. It must be that Genjutsu i was warned about " Ichigo said to himself as his attack fails to cut Tobi.
" That was too close for comfort ! " Tobi said to the substitute Shinigmai .
" What the hell are you ? " Ichigo asked Tobi as he goes to cut Tobi but Tobi picks up a twig and blocks Ichigo's Bankai with a twig.
" Ninja Art:Twig Poke Jutsu " Tobi chanted as he hits Ichigo in the head with the twig but it only annoys him.
" What the hell ? He blocked Tensa Zangetsu so easily with the twig yet didn't injure me with it. He's toying with me " Ichigo said to himself as Tobi appears behind him.
" Ninja Art: Whac-A-Mole Jutsu " Tobi chanted as he goes underground and hits Ichigo from behind with a stick.
" Bastard ! " Ichigo shouted as he goes to cut Tobi but he misses again . Ichigo attacks Tobi 10 more times with his Bankai but Tobi easily evades each strike and keeps hitting Ichigo with the stick.
" I win! ! " Tobi childishly shouted as he does a victory dance in front of Ichigo.
" Quit mocking me you little shit and fight me for real " Ichigo shouted as he goes to cut Tobi but Tobi disappears and reappears behind Ichigo even connected the strike .
" This is my special ! " Tobi said to Ichigo as he holds a paper bomb ball but then it drops out of his hand.
" What the hell ? Shit the generator ! " Ichigo shouted as he sees the bomb drop.
" YIKES ! I'm out of here ! " Tobi shouted as he runs away as cartoonishly as possible as the bomb denotes creating a massive explosion.
Ichigo then sees that he's protected by Tessai who used Danku to cancel out the explosion and created a special barrier around the generator.
" Tessai ! " Ichigo said to the bulky shopkeeper.
" Go after that manic with the clay birds, i'll handle this kid. Make sure he doesn't get to your family " Tessai said to the Substitute Shinigmai.
" Okay then ! " Ichigo replied as he heads to his neighborhood.
" Oh boy, hopefully you came to play with Tobi too " Tobi said to the black shopkeeper.
" Trust me, you don't want to play with me kid ! " Tessai replied as he flexes his muscles and then his shirt rips off .
" YIKES ! " Tobi shouted.
" Now prepare to pay for destroying the Urahara Shop " Tessai shouted with intense anger as he flexes his muscles showing off his ripping physique which would befitting to a professional wrestler or heavyweight boxer.
Meanwhile at the Mitsumiya District
Kisuke and Itachi clash attacks with each other. Itachi uses his right hand to aim the sword at Kisuke's face but the shopkeeper blocks the blow .
" Not bad, looks like i got quite the skilled assassin here " Kisuke said to Itachi as he parries more slashes from Itachi.
" As expected, you fight as well as your reputation precedes Kisuke Urahara " Itachi stated.
" Thank you, you're not half bad yourself. What's with those eyes of yours ? " Kisuke asked Itachi.
" It's called the Sharingan (写輪眼Mirror Wheel Eye) a Dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai, (瞳術血継限界Eye Technique Bloodline Limit) " Itachi answered.
" Dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai? " Kisuke asked.
" It not only heightened my abilities but gains me the ability to see the flow of chakra and predict and follow movement " Itachi explained to Kisuke.
" I see, so that's the same Jutsu that Danzō used ! " Kisuke stated.
" Yep but he's not a full-blooded Uchiha like me. Allow me to show you the true power of the Sharingan " Itachi replied as he's about to use a Jutsu.
" I won't let you Ōkasen (黄火閃, Yellow Fire Flash)" Kisuke chanted as he generates a yellow blast that widens itself along the length of his Shikai as a horizontal blast, of yellow energy towards Itachi .
" Ōkasen (黄火閃, Yellow Fire Flash) " Itachi chanted last-minute firing his own blast canceling out Kisuke's blast.
" I see, that's the ability that can copy Kidō based attacks like Kakashi did against Hitsugaya " Kisuke said to Itachi.
" It seems someone has been doing their homework but then again, you're the most intellectually superior mind in this world ,being the creator of the Hōgyoku " Itachi stated.
" Thanks for the complement ! " Kisuke replied as he goes to attack Itachi.
" I got you know ! " Itachi said to Kisuke as her throws 6 Shuriken at Kisuke but the shopkeeper uses his Shikai to easily deflect them.
" That trick won't on me ! " Kisuke said to Itachi as he then sees the kunai coming back him. Kisuke manages to block all Shuriken with his sword and clashes with them creating a series of clone . Itachi then comes at Kisuke with a lunge but the shopkeeper grabs Itachi's hand and Itachi grabs his hand.
" Not bad Kisuke but let's see if you can block this " Itachi said to Kisuke as clone of Itachi appears above hat and clogs.
" He managed to use Ninjutsu even without using handseals " Kisuke said to himself as the Itachi clone throws 3 kunai at Kisuke . The former 12th division Captain dodges two of the kunai and the third one grazes his cheek, causing it to bleed a bit.
" This would prove to be interesting ! " Itachi said to Kisuke as he goes to slash Kisuke with his sword but hat and clogs blocks Itachi's sword attacks.
" I got you now ! " Kisuke said to Itachi as he leaps in the air and does a jump manages to hold back the slash that concaves the ground they are fighting by 20 feet and goes for a horizontal slash towards Itachi by Itachi uses Shunshin to escape the attack.
Kisuke goes up 300 feet in the air to attack Itachi but Itachi sends him flying with and powerful two-handed horizontal swing . Kisuke regains footing and pushes Itachi back with his own two-handed slash. Itachi goes to back at Kisuke but the shopkeeper uses multiple high-speed stabs at Itachi forcing the former ANBU Captain to evade the attack . Itachi uses Shunshin to launch a kick knocking Kisuke into a 10 story building 2,300 feet west from the shop.
" Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu(火遁・豪火球の術Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu) " Itachi chanted as he fires a powerful fireball at Kisuke .
" Chikasumi no Tate(血霞の盾,Blood Mist Shield) " Kisuke chanted as he summons his blood mist shield blocking the explosion and the explosion levels everything within a 2,000 foot radius. Itachi uses Shunshin to appear behind Kisuke.
" Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu (火遁・鳳仙火の術Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu) " Itachi chanted as he creates a volley of small fireballs, which are sent flying in an unpredictable manner assaulting the avoids all the hits and counters with his own attack.
" Kirisaki, Benihime(切り裂き紅姫,Shred, Crimson Princess) " Kisuke responded by firing his own barrage of energy bullets which collide with the fireballs . The smoke clears up to reveal that Itachi is setting up another Jutsu.
" Take this ! " Itachi chanted as he charges up a crimson red beam pointing his finger at Kisuke.
" What the hell? A Cero ? " Kisuke asked shocked to see a human fire a crimson Cero.
" Die ! " Itachi chanted as he fires a Cero from his right hand.
" Nake, Benihime(啼け紅姫,Sing, Crimson Princess) " Kisuke countered as he fires a strong concussive and destructive crimson-colored energy blast which clashes with the Cero blast which then explode releasing a massive explosion leveling everything within a 1 mile radius destroying 4,000 buildings.
" How did you copy a Cero ? " Kisuke asked Itachi.
" It's simple, the Sharingan could copy any form of energy. The Sharingan's most well-known ability is that it grants the user the ability to memorize almost any technique that he or she witnesses, apart from other Kekkei Genkai techniques as well as released Zanpakutō states and Resurrección . The user can memorize Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu with near perfect accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniques as their own, or even modify them to create their own new techniques " Itachi explained to Kisuke.
" Still it's a large leap copying a Cero of all things ! " Kisuke stated.
" That was just the demonstration of my abilities. To the one who mastered the Sharingan, a Cero is a standard blast of concentrated spiritual energy at the target. It's actually fairly simple to copy in comparison to Ninjutsu or Kidō . Still my Cero isn't as perfect as an Arrancars given i'm not a hollow and mines was just an mere imitation of a Cero and it's too taxing to use without mastery of it " Itachi explained to Kisuke.
" A human who could mimic a Cero ? This guy is serious business . I'll just have to stick by my Shikai and rely almost entirely on my Zanpakutō. He's going to be a tough customer . Still something seems off here. Cero's don't usually leave behind that much smoke and fire " Kisuke said to himself as he get's back to fighting Itachi.
" It seems everything is going to plan ,he fell for my Genjutsu. That Cero i fired was really just a fireball Jutsu i disguised as a Cero ,even capturing the sound effects and likeness of the Cero . It would perfect to stall him further until our mission is complete " Itachi said to himself as he prepares to fight Kisuke again.
Meanwhile at the Dangai Precipice World
Orihime runs across it with two male unseated officers from an unknown division to the Soul Society.
" You're our hero Orihime ! " said one of the unseated officers.
" I told you guys it was nothing ! " Orihime modestly replied.
" It was because of you, we survived the battle of Konoha and we kicked their asses " one of the unseated officer stated.
" I can't believe ,i'm actually of some use to people . Ichigo, please come to me later " Orihime said to herself as she happily thinks how far she's come.
" Is this your idea of a defense ? How pitiful , the Soul Society must be seriously undermanned to allow such weaklings to guard a valuable piece like you Inoue " Itachi said to the group as he appears from the shadows.
" Stay back Orihime, we'll handle this guy ! " one of the unseated officer said to Orihime.
" We'll handle him ! " another unseated officer replied.
" No, don't fight him ! " Orihime shouted as she tries to warn them.
" Only two guards, how pathetic ! " Itachi said to them as he easily cuts one in half and the other one in half as well.
" Sōten Kisshun (双天帰盾, Twin Sacred Return Shield) " Orihime chanted as she use it to heal two people and bring them back to life.
" As expected, you have the power to bring back the dead " Itachi said to Orihime.
" You monster, are you the one who attacked my town ? " Orihime asked him.
" Yes, i was the one who ordered your city to get attacked just to lure you here by yourself " Itachi answered.
" You bastard , you murdered innocent people and hurt my friends . How can you guys be so cold ? " Orihime asked Itachi.
" It's business Orihime, now if you value the life you hold dear to you, you would be silent or else " Itachi answered.
" You don't scare me , i've gotten stronger . I know i can beat you guys if i try hard enough " Orihime stated.
" You think i would kill you off ? We need you the most. It's either come with us quietly or your friends die and we burn down the country you know as Japan and we'll take you by force " Itachi replied .
" Shut up! I'm done being bullied and picked on for being weak, i'll stop you right here and now so this nightmare will end " Orihime shouted as she goes to attack Itachi.
" Fine, come at me ! " Itachi stated as he stands there .
" Hadō #31. Shakkahō " Orihime chanted as she fires a red blast of Kidō at Itachi but Itachi doesn't even flinch .
" Come on ,is that all you got ? " Itachi asked her in a nonchalant tone.
" Hardly Hadō #33. Sōkatsui " Orihime chanted as she fires another blast of Reiatsu " Hadō #4. Byakurai (白雷, Pale Lightning) " Orihime chanted as she shoots a concentrated lightning bolt from her left index finger which blinds Itachi.
" That was really pathetic Orihime ! " Itachi said to the angry busty ginger as he sees her come at him.
" Hone Burēdo Kobushi (骨刃拳 Bone Blade Fist ) " Orihime shouted as she channels chakra around her fists and then strikes at Itachi but he stops her in her tracks with one finger.
" Is that all ? " Itachi asked her as he uses his finger to easily push her back.
" Hardly ! " Orihime answered as she charges up her attack.
" What's this ? " Itachi asked Orihime.
" You need to die after everything you did to my friends and my town " Orihime replied as she charges up her energy with Tsubaki at the center charging up all her spiritual energy "Koten Zanshun (孤天斬盾,Solitary Sacred Cutting Shield) " Orihime shouted as she releases all her hate in a powerful energy beam of energy instead of a small bullet like shot with the same destructive power she used on Deidara .
" Useless ! " Itachi countered as he puts his hand in the way and easily disperses the blast and Tsubaki with it.
" Tsubaki ! " Orihime shouted .
" That attack you did there, it came a long way since you used in the Soul Society hasn't it. Deidara got his left arm burned crippled from the blast and it's kinda easy to see why . 35,000 RYK, that's even stronger than that red-haired Vice Captain's Bankai however my RYK level right now is at 160,000 RYK. You're attack was too weak, it didn't have enough hatred , you could of easily killed that worthless Arrancar you fought before with this upgrade and could of even damage his release state a small bit but my power is in a far higher league " Itachi explained to Orihime.
" Damn it, all this training. All this time i spent getting stronger and i'm still unable to protect myself. I''m doomed " Orihime said to herself.
" If you're done fool around ,it's time you come quietly. The gap in our power is like heaven and earth " Itachi stated to Orihime .
" That's my line Hadō #33. Sōkatsui " Byakuya replied as he appears behind Itachi and blasts him with Kidō .
" Take this ! " Kenpachi shouted as he goes to slash Itachi but Itachi grabs his sword barehanded.
" I see, it's you two of all people ! " Itachi said to Kenpachi and Byakuya who are looking at the powerful Akatsuki member.
" What's the deal with this guy ? He's holding back my sword strike barehanded " Kenpachi asked Byakuya.
" My Sōkatsui did no damage on him either, he's strong Kenpachi watch out " Byakuya answered.
" You think you can hold back my sword slash barehanded huh ? Try this one on for size " Kenpachi replied as he pours more Reiatsu into his blow and actually manages to lightly cut Itachi's palm pushing back the Akatsuki member.
" Not bad, that amount of strength is just what i expect from a Captain of your caliber " Itachi said to Kenpachi.
" Don't get arrogant Shinobi. There's nothing that i can't cut with my blade " Kenpachi replied as he holds the blade with his right hand.
" Orihime, get to the Seireitei quickly, we'll handle him " Byakuya said to Orihime.
" Right ! " Orihime replied as she goes to run but she's stopped by an invisible force field .
" It's useless, as long as i'm alive , this barrier would prevent Orihime from entering the Soul Society or the World of the Living . You need to kill me first " Itachi calmly said to the duo.
" Very well , we'll arrange your funeral then ! " Byakuya calmly replied as he drops his sword into the ground " Bankai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi "
" Let's get this party started ! " Kenpachi replied as he glows with yellow Reiatsu with a smile on his face.
" I see, i guess it's time to get serious ! " Itachi said to the duo as he draws out his ANBU sword " I hope my clone holds out long enough to pull this off "
Meanwhile at the Minamikawwase district
1 mile west from the Kurosaki Clinic , Ichigo catches up with Deidara and goes to confront Deidara whose on the ground.
" There you are ! " Ichigo said to Deidara as he sees the Akatsuki stand on a 3 story building .
" You're not too shabby Soul Reaper ! " Deidara said to Ichigo.
" I'm here to kick your ass , it's best you just give up. Your bombs aren't strong enough or fast enough to keep up with my Bankai " Ichigo explained to Deidara.
" Ha, did you honestly think that was my best explosives ? C-1 is merely child's play to test the reflexes and strength of my opponent. There are 4 classes of my explosives that go from 1 to 4 " Deidara explained to Ichigo.
" It doesn't matter , you aren't hurting my family and i'll kill you for attacking my friends and this city " Ichigo stated.
" Well aren't you overconfident , it seems like you're unaware of just how powerful my explosives are " Deidara replied as he throws two clay slabs into the ground creating a smoke cloud that dissipates into a large 30 foot dragon.
" What the hell is that ? " Ichigo asked Deidara.
" This is C-2 Ichigo , my favorite piece of artwork. I designed this whole trap here to lure you here to battle within your own neighborhood so i can wipe you out here then have your girlfriend revive you so you can brought to Lord Aizen . That whole thing about bombs being all over a city is a lie ,i planted all the landmines in this neighborhood " Deidara explained to Ichigo.
" It's people like you i can't stand the most. You're nothing more but a bootleg pop artist " Ichigo stated.
" Pop is dead ! My art is ...superflat ! " Deidara replied as he fires a small miniature dragon at Ichigo.
" That's not going work ! " Ichigo arrogantly stated as he dodges with Shunpo and goes to attack Deidara but the dragon turns around and homes onto Ichigo from behind
" Katsu " Deidara chanted as he hits Ichigo from behind creating a massive 300 foot radius explosion. Ichigo emerges blocking the blast with both hands on his sword and Reiatsu covering his body.
" That explosion, it's different form the previous ones. That was like a guided bomb " Ichigo said to himself as he stares at the dragon as it's taking off.
" Try getting me Ichigo ! " Deidara said to Ichigo as he flies up .
" Get back here ! " Ichigo shouted as he goes to cut it with his Bankai across the dragons neck but it fails to cut through the hard clay .
" Your sword attacks are useless against the dragon. The density of it's clay skin is harder than Hierro " Deidara explained to Ichigo as he swoops into the Substitute Shinigmai moving at 4,525.8 ft per second(3,058 MPH) with the dragon then rocketing at 6,000 MPH hitting Ichigo into a mine then causing a 300 foot radius explosion but Ichigo dodges the mine.
" Watch your step Shinigmai , there are mined packed all around this neighborhood. Everything within a 1 mile radius is now an explosive booty trap, one wrong step and you'll blow yourself up ! " Deidara explained to Ichigo .
" Then i'll blast you down Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang) " Ichigo chanted as he fires a powerful Getsuga Tenshō right at the Shinobi but the dragon takes the attack head on and disperse it with only minor damage to it's right wing .
" Like i said before, cutting attacks are useless against C -2. Even if you can cut it , it would just shake off it's damage and disperse around it . Now let's see if you can dodge my attacks from above while avoiding those dangerous landmines , don't disappoint me Shinigmai " Deidara stated with a sadistic smile on his face.
Meanwhile at Karakura Community Park
Hitsugaya is holding his own against Kakuzu well and having a difficult time fighting the powerful Shinobi with 5 hearts. Kakuzu now has 4 hearts and 3 of those 4 hearts are launching a series of attacks at the white hair Captain.
" Fire Style: Searing Pain " Kakuzu chanted as he has his fire mask shoot a series of 5 fireballs at the Captain.
" Hyōryū Senbi (氷竜旋尾, Ice Dragon Swirling Tail) " Hitsugaya countered as he swings his sword in a linear direction and creates overflowing ice from his blade in the form of a crescent wave at the fireballs freezing them in place. Kakuzu then appears behind Hitsugaya.
" Behind you ! " Kakuzu shouted as he almost punches the Captain's head off but the Captain blocks with his Bankai blade which snaps in two from the punch.
" Damn, that punch would of killed me had not for me blocking . I need to be more careful " Hitsugaya said to himself as he then sees the Lightning mask charging up another blast from a 300 meter distance.
" Lightning Style: Piercing Darkness " Kakuzu chanted as he has his lightning mask fire a lightning bolt beam at Hitsugaya.
" Hadō #63. Raikōhō (雷吼炮, Thunder Roar Sear ) " Hitsugaya countered as he cancels out the lightning blast with his Kidō and then reforges his sword using the water in the atmosphere and then goes to attack Kakuzu's Lightning heart up close with Shunpo.
" Dumb idea charging head first like that kid " Kakuzu stated as he fires a lightning blast from his lightning mask which blasts through Hitsugaya's head but it's revealed to be an ice clone that disperses into ice shards and freezes the lightning mask " What ? " Kakuzu shouted only to see Hitsugaya behind him.
" Hyōryū Senbi Raikōhō " Hitsugaya chanted as he fires a powerful blast of lightning and ice at Kakuzu which hits him causing the Akatsuki to freeze and burn.
" ARRRGGGH! " Kakuzu shouted as he burns and freezes and then shatters revealing to be a substitute log.
" Where did he go ? " Hitsugaya asked himself only to see Kakuzu above him.
" Got you ! " Kakuzu shouted as he smashes Hitsugaya to pieces and then creates a massive 1,000 foot radius explosion with his punch leveling behind a 138 foot diameter , 38 foot deep crater producing 230.18 tons of TNT only to reveal it's another ice clone and Kakuzu's arms and legs are frozen within it.
" I didn't think i could use Zanhyō Ningyō (残氷人形, Lingering Ice Puppet/Doll ) more than once until you Shinobi came along. You guys are really powerful however this is the price you pay for underestimating me " Hitsugaya stated as he charges up lightning around his blade.
" I see, i underestimated you Captain ! " Kakuzu replied as he stands there .
" Ryūsenka Tsuzuri Raiden " Hitsugaya chanted as he comes right Kakuzu only for the wind heart to come in front of the Captain.
" Wind Release Stream " Kakuzu chanted as his wind mask fires a powerful blast of wind pushing back Hitsugaya 1,000 feet away and hits the wall of a collapsed building. Hitsugaya gets back up to see the lightning on his blade is gone .
" My lightning is gone ! " Hitsugaya said to himself.
" You forget that Wind Release Chakra cancels out Lightning ? Not a bad strategy using lightning combined with ice to cut me but unless you do something else, your chances of victory would be reduced to zero " Kakuzu explained to Hitsugaya .
" Damn he's right, i forgot this was a battle between 4 people . He's been toying with me so far, unless i find a way to kill him and all of his hearts, he'll keep standing in the way. I only have one heart and a time limit to my Bankai . At most i have at least 20 minutes left in my Bankai " Hitsugaya said to himself.
" Now to stop toying around kid, time to launch an all out assault " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya as 3 of his hearts surround Hitsugaya.
" This is bad ! " Hitsugaya said to himself as he sees himself surrounded by creatures.
" Kantsū Senpū Honō (貫通旋風の炎 Piercing Whirlwind Blaze ) " Kakuzu chanted as he has his mask charge up Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work, Lightning Release: False Darkness and Wind Release: Pressure Damage all at the same time to create a massive explosion reminiscent of an atomic blast destroying everything within a 2,000 foot radius.
The smoke clears up to reveal the Captain escaped to the sewers within the 300 foot diameter, 100 foot deep crater flooded from the waters below.
" I got to think of a way to avoid his attacks and strike him when he's off guard otherwise ,i'll die but he's too powerful to be taken on head on " Hitsugaya said to himself .
" You're not going anywhere until i replace that heart you took with my own " Kakuzu replied as he goes down to the sewers as he follows Hitsugaya down the sewers.
Meanwhile at the Yumisawa District
Hidan charges at Ryūken with his scythe but Ryūken dodges the attack with ease as Hidan easily cuts down a 5 story building with his swing.
" Come back here you bastard ! " Hidan shouted as he goes to swing at Ryūken again but Ryūken dodges another slash.
" Schwingende ( German for Vibrating Bolt ) " Ryūken chanted as he fires a spinning drill like arrow which hits Hidan and sends him flying 500 feet away.
" What was that attack ? " Uryū asked Ryūken.
" Schwingende ( German for Vibrating Bolt ) curves the arrow and spins it around like a rifle bullet, increasing the penetration power of the round . Using the Reiatsu to vibrate the round, it increases the arrows power but it requires more Reiatsu and concentration for this to work and you can only use it at least 20 times " Ryūken explained to Uryu's Hidan gets back up.
" Cool trick Ryūken ! " Uryū stated as Hidan goes to strike Hidan from behind.
" Trying to attack my son off guard huh ? How stupid of you Verbindlich ( German for Binding) " Ryūken chanted as he binds Hidan down with a Ginto which forms ropes around the immortals body.
" Damn it ! " Hidan shouted as he struggles to move.
" Now let's test out another Ginto ability ! Brennen (German for Burning ) " Ryūken chanted as he drops the Ginto and the Ginto sets Hidan on fire .
" ARRRGH! YOU SON OF A BITCH " Hidan shouted as he struggles to move while being burned.
" I got lucky to fight an immortal , it allows me to show my son Quincy techniques that i can't otherwise do without killing my targets " Ryūken explained to Hidan as Hidan breaks out of the binding restraints with blue flames burning him.
" I'm going to kill you " Hidan shouted as he comes at Ryūken with his scythe with his scythe hitting Ryūken but it bounces off Ryuken not damaging him.
" Spiegelt ( German for Reflect ) " Ryūken chanted as he protects himself with a barrier from Hidan's attacks which then disappears after a few seconds.
" Boy father, those are some impressive techniques you're showing me " Uryū said to his father.
" That's the second time you called me father, either way i hope you're taking notes of this Uryu. If you learn these techniques, then i can finally pass down the title Last Quincy to you and get rid of these powers " Ryūken explained to his father.
" Why do you wish to get rid of these powers ? " Uryū asked him.
" I'll explain more to you later ! " Ryūken answered as he sees Hidan get back up pissed off.
" Stop taking me as a joke ! " Hidan shouted as he swings his scythe 50 feet long and goes to cut Ryūken but Ryūken dodges the attack and appears behind him.
" Come on, be a good shooting target and stay still " Ryūken said to Hidan as Hidan goes to swing at him but the middle-aged Quincy dodges the attack only to see the scythe coming at him from behind with the coil.
" Dad look out ! " Uryū shouted as he sees Ryūken hit by the scythe in the head .
" I got you now Quincy ! " Hidan stated happy to see the scythe hit the Quincy but it was a hologram that .
" That was the Vorsprung ( German for Projection ) technique , i was able to dodge the attack " Ryūken answered.
" What ? " Hidan shouted .
" Vorsprung ( German for Projection ) combines Hirenkyaku and Reishi to form a Hologram afterimage behind to take the hit . The afterimage may even appear to have taken damage, this is eqauilvent to a Shinigami's Utsusemi technique " Ryūken explained to his son.
" Impressive, i wish i knew that during my fight with that Shinobi back in Konoha instead of relying on Kisuke's portable Gigal " Uryū stated.
" Quit toying with me you glasses wearing bastard " Hidan shouted .
" Now son, allow me to show you a few more Quincy techniques " Ryūken said to his son.
" Very well then, keep teaching me ! " Uryū replied .
Meanwhile at the Remains of the Sukari Building
Tessai fights off the masked man known as Tobi who continues to act like a clown.
" Tobi Flying Headbutt " Tobi chanted as he does am flying headbutt but Tessai dodges it and Tobi hits his head on the ground cracking it ..
" This guy is retarded ! " Tessai said to himself.
" OWWY !" Tobi shouted rubbing his head when Tessai comes behind him.
" Tessai Hammerfist " Tessai countered as he smashes the ground with his fist creating a 1,000 foot radius shockwave but the attack passes through Tobi.
" That was a close one there ! " Tobi said to Tessai rubbing his head only to see Tessai behind him.
" I got you now Suplex " Tessai chanted as he picks up Tobi from behind.
" YIKES! TIME OUT !TIME OUT ! " Tobi shouted as he's slammed through the ground with the suplex creating a 10 foot diameter, 2 foot deep crater in the ground but Tobi disappeared last second.
" Where did he go ? " Tessai asked himself only to see Tobi pop up from the ground.
" Ninja Art: Whac-A-Mole Jutsu " Tobi chanted as he goes underground and hits Ichigo from behind with a stick.
" I see, you wish to play Whac-A-Mole ? I'll let you know i'm the champion of Whac-A Mole " Tessai shouted as he pulls out a massive wooden mallet.
" YIKES! " Tobi shouted as Tessai swings down the hammer and goes to smash Tobi.
Tessai smashes the ground 20 times trying to get Tobi evades each strike.
" I guess my hammer won't work on you ! " Tessai said to Tobi and he smashes the mallet with his fists.
" Uh oh ! " Tobi shouted with sweat coming out of his head.
" Hado # 10 Kaen Hōshaki(火炎放射器Flamethrower ) " Tessai chanted as he shoots a stream of flames from it's palm into the gopher hole and flushes Tobi out.
" AHHH! HOT ! HOT ! " Tobi screamed as he cartoonishly jumps out the hole with smoke coming out of his butt only to see Tessai in midair.
" Pilediver ! " Tessai chanted as he grabs Tobi and midair and slams into the ground smashing Tobi into the ground head first .
" OWWY ! THAT HURTS YOU BULLY ! " Tobi shouted as he jumps out of the ground unfazed despite appearing to break his neck while creating a 50 foot diameter,15 foot deep crater.
" Somethings not right, that blow should've killed him unless, he fazed through the ground last second to avoid the impact. I see, so the kid must be using a special barrier to protect himself from physical strikes like fists and swords as well as energy attacks . The Kidō composition is very similar to Bakudō #68. Mukeibariā (無形バリアー Intangible Barrier) however he's been able to it so effortlessly without any incantation, handseals or even appearing to move at all. He also manages to solidly parts of his body for counterattacks, i never seen Kidō mastery on a level like this . Not even i'm capable of matter manipulation on that level. On the top of that, he effortlessly sidestepped Ichigo's Tensa Zangetsu and stop his Bankai with a twig. This guy is stalling but for what reason ? Anyways he's bound to run out of energy eventually, as long as i don't release my Zanpakutō, he'll continue to take me lightly and i can find an opening in his attacks and take him down " Tessai said to himself as he watch Tobi pull more paper bomb bombs.
" Let's play a new game creepy mustache stranger ! " Tobi said to the muscle bond shopkeeper.
" What is it ? " Tessai asked him.
" Tobi Dodgeball " Tobi answered as he throws a bomb ball like a baseball towards Tessai.
" Don't get carried away ! " Tessai replied as he dodges the bombs.
Meanwhile at the Kitakasaswe district
Kukaku is holding her own against Sasori and his Kazekage puppet however her speed can't keep up with the puppet but her power is enough to keep Sasori on his toes. The Thrid Kazekage puppet come at Kukaku with retractable blades in the formation of a claw on the right arm but the raven haired Shinigmai blocks the attack using both hands on her Shikai while being pushed back 20 feet but she regains her balance.
" He's fast ! " Kukaku said to herself as she stares right at the puppet.
" Puppet Water Style: Mystical Rain Dance Jutsu (傀儡水遁・妖雨の舞 Kugutsu Suiton: Yōu no Mai)" Sasori chanted as he goes to wrap Kukaku with Chakra strings in an effort to bind and restrict her movements.
" Don't get full of yourself ! " Kukaku replied as she smashes the ground causing a shockwave dispersing the Chakra strings.
" Not bad but try dodging this ! " Sasori said to the raven haired Shinigmai as his puppet spews highly pressurized water at Kukaku but Kukaku dodges the deadly water stream as it easily cuts a 5 story building in half.
" Damn, that's one deadly jet of water. I got to avoid that attack at all cost otherwise, he'll take my head off with that Jutsu " Kukaku said to herself as she holds on to her hammer.
" She has the strength advantage, with her Shikai's ability to pierce defense with the added force of her Lightning and raw strength, i can't risk bringing my puppet too close to her attack. I'll just wear her down from a distance and wait until she tires out to avoid her attacks " Sasori said to himself as he looks at Kukaku charging up close to her.
" I got you now Bakudō # 57. Happō Shokushu (発泡触手Foam Tentacles) " Kukaku chanted as she binds the puppet with foam tentacles using her right hand to cast the Kidō while holding her Shikai with her left hand .
" She can still cast Kidō despite the size of that hammer, impressive " Sasori said to himself as he sees Kukaku above him.
" Now die ! " Kukaku shouted as she goes to strike down at Sasori .
" Got you ! " Sasori as his puppet shoots 50 kunai with one of them grazing Kukaku's shoulder.
" Shit ! " Kukaku shouted as she drops to the ground with her heavy hammer falling down with her.
" Looks like you couldn't evade every strike ! " Sasori said to Kukaku as she struggles to get back up.
" As you see, my poison takes effect instantly and leaves you unable to move your body . You won't be able to fight anymore " Sasori said to Kukaku only for Kukaku to get back up.
" You think a small graze would be enough to get me ? You hit the wrong shoulder moron " Kukaku replied as she shows the kunai hit the shoulder of her prosthetic arm.
" Damn it, next time i won't miss you " Sasori replied as he goes to attack again " Kugutsu: Mugen Bakujin (傀儡の術・無限爆刃 Puppet Technique: Infinite Explosive Blades) " Sasori chanted as he has the Third Kazekage arms open up and shoot their arms in the air and they explode raining down hundreds of exploding kunai that are guided by Chakra strings towards Kukaku.
" Damn it ! " Kukaku said to herself as she watches the explosives fall down.
" Now die ! " Sasori shouted as he watches the explosives connect and watch them all explode with each blast destroys everything within a 10 foot radius. 660 explosion occur with the combined force to level everything within a 500 foot radius.
The smoke clears up to reveal that Kukaku uses her Reishūkaku orb in one hand to block the explosive force of each blasts.
" Boy that was too close for comfort ! " Kukaku said to Sasori.
" Nice job blocking this attack but try dodging this attack Senju Sōbu (千手操武Thousand Arms Manipulation)" Sasori shouted as the 3rd Kazekage puppet's left arm opens several compartments. These compartments are prepared with summoning seals in them, which calls forth many long puppet arms that bend and follow Kukaku.
" Tengoku Sandāsuto (天国サンダーストHeaven Thunder Strike ) " Kukaku chanted as she shoots another fissure blast taking out the arms but then more mechanical arms come at the raven haired Shinigmai .
" Not bad but try evading this Kugutsu: Samidare (傀儡・五月雨 Puppet: May Rain) " Sasori chanted as each of the 154 mechanical hands fire 20 bombs from their hands with each blast destroys everything within a 50 foot radius causing a stream of deadly explosions but Kukaku dodges the strikes.
" Is that all you got ? " Kukaku asked mockingly but more arms appear at her extending 1,200 feet from the puppet as it chases Kukaku with 202 puppet arms.
" Hardly , i got you now ! " Sasori answered as he has the arms surround Kukaku and use a ton of Chakra strings to bind her down.
" What the hell ? " Kukaku asked shocked to see herself binded down by hundreds of Chakra strings binding her with hundreds of Chakra arms surrounding her.
" I got you now ! " Sasori said to Kukaku as he goes for the kill.
" Hadō #58. Tenran (闐嵐, Orchid Sky ) " Momo chanted as she appears in front of the Third Kazekage puppet and uses her wind Kidō to stun the puppet
" Bankai Hiho Zabimaru " Renji chanted as he summons his massive Bankai to knock back the puppet 100 feet away and shatter the mechanical arms binding Kukaku.
" Nadegiri # 12 Senmai Oroshi (千枚卸 1,000 Sheets of Paper Wholesale) " Izuru chanted as he swing his sword 20 times making the 104 pound puppet master weigh 13,631,488 lbs and Sasori falls to the ground while off-guard.
" What the hell ? How are you able to move your body from the poison ? " Sasori asked Izuru shocked to see Izuru still standing.
" All thanks to Orihime, i was able to find a way past your poisons and now you left your guard down " Izuru explained to Sasori.
" You still don't have enough power to kill me with your weapon ! " Sasori stated as he gets back up only to see Chad above him.
" Maybe not but he does ! " Izuru replied as he uses Shunpo to get out of Chad's way.
" El Directo (Spanish for The Direct) " Chad chanted he releases a huge blast of spiritual energy that hits Sasori directly from behind destroying everything within a 500 foot radius leveling 15 buildings.
Izuru appears behind Kukaku with Momo , Renji and Chad and each of them are at their full power.
" Renji ! Chad ! Izuru ! Momo ! What are you doing here ? " Kukaku asked them.
" We're here to help you out ! " Renji answered while in his Bankai state.
" Good thing too , that bastard almost had me there " Kukaku stated as she picks up her massive hammer.
" That's your Shikai Kukaku ? " Izuru asked Kukaku.
" Yep, Raimeihamā (雷鳴ハマーThunderclap Hammer ) has the power to rip through defense combining my raw strength and the weight of the hammer as well as the spikes and lightning around the massive weapon " Kukaku explained to the group.
" Boy, that's an awesome Shikai ! " Momo stated.
" Guys, we need to worry about that guy over there ! " Chad replied as Sasori reveals that he 's still alive and emerges out of black sand.
" Not a bad attack , you almost had me here but allow me to end your fun Satetsu (砂鉄Iron Sand) " Sasori said as he releases a cloud of Iron Sand out into the battlefield.
" Iron Sand Jutsu ? " everyone asked with a shock look on their face.
" This Jutsu is the reason the 3rd Kazekage is hailed to be the strongest Kazekage in history, and now i have it for myself . You Vice Captains are mere child's play compared to my Iron sand my puppet techniques i can even use Kekkei Genkai and other techniques like your Zanpakutō and even Resurrección, you would make a fine collection to my 298 puppet collection " Sasori explained to the group while wielding the weapon.
" This is bad ! " Izuru stated .
" Indeed ! " Momo replied .
" Let's not take any chances ! " Renji shouted as he swings his Bankai at Sasori but the Bankai bounces off Sasori and desegments with ease " What the ? " Renji asked Sasori.
" It's useless to use weapons against me . Zanpakutō's are made of the same density as steel right ? That means sword based attacks are useless because of the powerful magnetic energy i wield, meaning not even a Bankai can touch me " Sasori explained to the group.
" Damn it ! " Renji replied.
" Damn, we can't touch with our blades " Izuru stated.
" How can we defeat an enemy we can't cut ? " Momo asked the group.
" My Shikai is useless against him the most. Every part of it is made of metal, we need to find a way around his abilities or we're done for " Kukaku said to the team.
" Now time to show you Shinigmai fools the might of Iron Sand " Sasori said to the group as they see the Iron Sand come at them.
Meanwhile at the Minamikawwase district
Ichigo struggles to fight Deidara who is spamming his C-2 dragon explosives while rigging the entire neighborhood to explode. Ichigo struggles to fight off the dragon but is being overpowered with ease by Deidara .
" Hahahhahah! You can't reach me with your sword Ichigo , give up and die ! " Deidara said to Ichigo while flying above Ichigo who is standing in the air 300 feet while Deidara is 3,000 feet above Ichigo.
" Bastard ! " Ichigo replied as he jumps up and uses his high-speed to boost his jump running towards Deidara but Ichigo only gets 1,200 feet high with his Shunpo combined with airwalking before he reaches his limit .
" Hahahaahahaha! You're nowhere near my reach Ichigo, that was pathetic! " Deidara laughed as his dragon spits out another dragon bomb at Ichigo.
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as he sees another homing dragon head towards him.
" Katsu ! " Deidara shouted as the dragon explodes knocking Ichigo into the ground. Ichigo manages to block the explosion but is on the ground again.
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo chanted as he swings down his sword creating a powerful blast to hit Deidara directly in the air but Deidara dodges the attack.
" I'm too fast in the air for that blast to reach me , besides my dragon would just block the weakass hit you fired " Deidara said to Ichigo.
" Damn, none of my attacks are connecting ,my body is starting to feel fatigued " Ichigo said to himself as he starts to feel fatigue.
" What's wrong, at your limit Shinigmai ? This is so disappointing " Deidara arrogantly mocked Ichigo.
" Damn it ! My Bankai isn't doing anything to him . I'm going to die if i don't do something " Ichigo said to himself as he struggles to move.
" Try dodging this ! " Deidara shouted as he sends out 10 small clay dragons to attack Ichigo.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo said to himself as he dodges one of the clay dragons as the blast levels everything within a 500 foot radius.
Ichigo is chased by 9 other clay dragons . Ichigo breaks into a 5 story house and uses Shunpo to go out to the otherside of the window as one of the dragons hit the building and blowing up everything within a 300 foot radius taking out 9 more buildings. He then rushes to the buildings covered within 10 feet of water caused by Kisame's Exploding Water Shockwave which flooded the riverbed of Karsu and Onose and caused overflow within that area.
" You think you can run from me ? " Deidara said to Ichigo as he dashes at Ichigo and knocks Ichigo into a mine which causes a mine to go off causing another 300 foot radius explosion which Ichigo barely blocks while he's surrounded by 8 more clay dragons.
" Damn, i can't shake them ! " Ichigo shouted as he uses Shunpo to move from the bombs.
Ichigo goes into an abandoned movie theater and goes through the screening room , then cuts his way through the wall then uses Shunpo to evade the blast as the clay dragon explodes . Ichigo then sees 7 remaining bombs causing him to run even faster to evade the blasts. Ichigo then sees the Karasu Bridge and flies down and lands at the middle of the bridge then goes through it with the 3rd bomb exploding taking out the bridge while Ichigo dives underwater and goes to the bottom of the Karasu River 200 feet deep below sea level.
" You think you're safe there ? Think again ! " Deidara shouted as he has the dragons hit the river.
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted while underwater.
" Katsu " Deidara chanted as he has all the clay dragons detonate at once.
" ARRGGH! " Ichigo screamed in pain as the explosion levels everything within a 900 foot radius causing damage to the river as Deidara leaves behind a massive crater in the river 189 feet in diameter and 52 feet deep with the explosion producing 600 Tons of TNT .
Deidara lands back down on the ground and looks at the crater left behind by his explosion as water from the river starts to fill in the riverbed crater. He stares at Ichigo at the bottom of the riverbed seemingly dead from the explosion.
" God you suck, is that all your Bankai gives you, a meager speed and power increase ? You're a serious disappointment, on the top of that you're a moron for jumping into a riverbed. It only takes away that massive speed increase you gain in Bankai ,you're just another..." Deidara arrogantly stated with a disappointed look on his face only to see Ichigo disappear as an afterimage " What ? "
Suddenly the manhole near Deidara opens up and a rush of water comes out with Ichigo leaping out unharmed from the blast.
" Noko Kuroi Getsuga( 鋸黒月牙 Sawing Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he cuts Deidara in half with his powerful Bankai attack by condensing his Getsuga energy into a saw like attack. But Ichigo cut a clay clone of Deidara while the real one appears behind him.
" Not bad Ichigo ! " Deidara said to the orange haired teen as he kicks off Ichigo off the C-2 dragon and flies up the air .
" Damn it ! " Ichigo replied as he recovers and stands in the air .
" You used your high-speed moment to create an illusion of yourself to make it appear i killed you and then you waited until i dropped my guard to take me out with a powerful slash from behind . Luckily i thought ahead and made a clone of myself to anticipate any cheapshots for the rare chance anyone could hit me while in C-2 form . Nice strategy but it's not going to work the second time around " Deidara said to Ichigo as he prepares his next attack.
" Crap, that was everything i had left. That was my best shot with Bankai " Ichigo said to himself as he sees Deidara's dragon form an especially large wad of clay from it's mouth.
" I'm going to end this in one blow. The next one'll be huge , hmmm ! " Deidara said to Ichigo as he launches a 10 foot clay dragon at Ichigo.
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as he can't escape.
" Kastu " Deidara chanted as the blast creates a 2,000 foot radius leveling 1,500 buildings within the area .
Meanwhile at the Kurosaki Clinic
Isshin sees the explosion happening to a very close distance to his house 200 feet from the hose. The barrier is keeping debris from pelting through the house . Yuzu and Karin are in their rooms resting in bed thanks to Isshin using knockout gas.
" Ichigo, it seems things are getting out of hand here. If things keep up at this rate, i'll need to help you out ! " Isshin said to himself as he looks at the explosion passing by the house and the barrier.
Meanwhile at Downtown Karakura Town
Yoruichi notices the explosion from a distance when she senses Ichigo's Reiatsu dipping down from the blast. Yoruichi and Kisame are still fighting within the massive 100 foot high flood water caused by Kisame .
" This is bad , Ichigo's Reiatsu is fading . He needs help fast " Yoruichi said to herself as she sees Kisame come at her with his sword which has lost all it's bandages.
" Concerned about that carrot top Shinigmai ? Don't worry, he's still alive. Even a hothead like Deidara isn't dumb enough to kill his target, especially when we need him the most " Kisame said to Yoruichi.
" How touching, but i was thinking just how i'm going to kill you " Yoruichi stated.
" Don't make threats you don't intend to keep ! " Kisame replied.
Meanwhile at Karakura High School
Tatsuki wakes up hearing the explosion from a distance.
" Ichigo, what's going on here ? Why did you knock me out and why is most of the city destroyed ? " Tatsuki asked herself as she looks outside the hole Deidara left where the barrier is at to see most of the city destroyed.
Keigo, Mizuiro and Chizuru wake up from the events and see the city in flames.
" What happened to Karakura Town ? " Keigo asked Tatsuki .
" It's like the entire town disappeared ! " Mizuiro answered as he sees flames burning everywhere .
Jinta and Ururu arrive with Don Kanoji coming into the room.
" Looks like you guys woke up pretty fast " Jinta said to the group.
" Don Kanonji, what are you doing here ? " Keigo asked him.
" I'm protecting you kids from the monsters attacking this city for a while " Don Kanonji answered.
" Who are those kids with you ? " Mizuiro asked the spiritual medium .
" That's my two assistants and sidekicks ! " Don Kanonji answered.
" Hey guys, it's best you stay here and watch the heroes fight " Jinta stated.
" What heroes fighting ? You guys are within here " Chizuru questioned the group.
" Master Kanonji is getting energy built up to take on the enemies attacking this town " Ururu replied.
Suddenly Ririn , Cloud and Nova came within the school room to see the students awake.
" We're also the sidekicks of Don Kanonji , Ririn Karakura Blue " Ririn said to the teens.
" Cloud , Karakura Green ! " Cloud stated as he does a superhero pose.
" Nova , Karakura Black ! " Nova replied.
" Ururu, Karakura Pink ! " Ururu stated.
" Jinta , Karakura Red ! " Jinta replied.
" We're saved ! " Keigo stated .
Meanwhile on the rooftop , Rukia and the others sense the Reiatsu of Ichigo starting to fade away.
" Do you sense that ? " Rukia asked Shinji.
" Yeah , Ichigo is in trouble ! " Shinji answered.
" We can't just let Ichigo get captured or killed " Rukia stated .
" But it's too dangerous to charge in headfirst ! " Shinji replied as he sees Rukia charge out to the battlefield.
" Sorry Shinji but i can't leave my best friend alone " Rukia said to herself as she heads out to the battlefield.
Meanwhile at the Mitsumiya District
Kisuke and Itachi clash attacks with each other. Kisuke and Itachi come at each other with one-handed sword strikes with each other , Itachi goes for a vertical slash but Kisuke blocks with a horizontal slash then parries it into a stab but the former ANBU Captain evades the strike and goes an upward slash aimed at Kisuke's neck but the former Captain sidesteps the slash and blocks the blade with his Shikai.
" Not bad, your skills are amazing ! " Itachi said to Kisuke in a cool, calm tone.
" Same here ! " Kisuke replied as he blocks a slash aimed at his throat.
" Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Shuriken Jutsu ( 火遁・鳳仙花爪紅Katon: Hōsenka Tsumabeni ) " Itachi chanted as he throws a volley of Shuriken with one hand, while at the same time exhaling fire-infused Chakra onto them sending 6 flaming Shuriken at Kisuke.
" Tsuppane, Benihime(突ッ撥紅姫, Spurning, Crimson Princess) " Kisuke countered as he simply draws a circle of energy with the edge of Benihime which cancels out the flaming Shuriken .
" Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu(火遁・豪火球の術Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu) " Itachi chanted he shoots a fireball at Kisuke but the hat and clogs shopkeeper stops the blast.
" Nake, Benihime(啼け紅姫,Sing, Crimson Princess) " Kisuke countered as he fires a strong concussive and destructive crimson-colored energy blast which clash with the fire blast which cancels out the blasts.'
" Not a bad attack ! You're proving to be a challenge but let's see you try to escape this attack " Itachi to Kisuke as he points his finger at Kisuke and he creates a genjutsu , trapping Kisuke in a torrent of crows.
" What is this ? " Kisuke asked Itachi.
" This is Genjutsu and you felt for it ! " Itachi answered.
" But when ? I didn't see you make a handseal or make eye contact " Kisuke asked the raven haired Shinobi.
" I can use Genjutsu with just one finger, it's time you're put to sleep Utakata(ウタカタ Genjutsu: Crow Ephemera) " Itachi chanted as he disperse into crows and he has crows flock around Kisuke.
" Damn it, i can't escape his move ! " Kisuke said to himself as he sees Itachi reappear in the air.
" Take this ! " Itachi said to Kisuke as the crows flying around him turn into Shuriken that bombard Kisuke.
" ARRRGH! Damn it ! " Kisuke shouted as he's pinned down by several giant fuma Shuriken, he then sees Itachi appear behind him.
" You're too weak ! " Itachi said to Kisuke as he appears in front of Kisuke 30 feet away in a spiltsecond as Kisuke drops to the ground but it's revealed to be a portable Gigal and the real Kisuke appears behind Itachi.
" Got you again ! Shibari, Benihime(縛り紅姫,Binding, Crimson Princess)" Kisuke chanted as he launches condensed energy into the form of a tangible blood-red net, generated from the blade length and simply thrown over Itachi with a simple slashing motion from Benihime.
" A clone , huh, quite some quick thinking you did to avoid my Genjutsu " Itachi said to Kisuke while standing in the net.
" It's what i call a portable Gigal, you bought it hook like and sinker and now you're dead " Kisuke stated but then he sees the clone smoking.
" Shadow Clone Explosion " Itachi chanted as the fake Itachi blows up creating a 2,000 foot radius explosion which Kisuke barely evades the attack.
Both fighters arrive back at the ruins of Kisuke's shop where they stare off with each other again.
" You're proving to be a worthy assassin Itachi Uchiha ! " Kisuke said to Itachi .
" And you're proving yourself to be a worthy fighter Kisuke, unfortunately it's time we put this battle to an end " Itachi replied as he does Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Rabbit and Tiger handseals to attack Kisuke.
" What is he planning ? " Kisuke said to himself as he prepares for Itachi's attack.
" Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu (火遁・鳳仙火の術 Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu) " Itachi chanted as he creates a volley of small fireballs, which are sent flying in an unpredictable manner assaulting the shopkeeper but Kisuke avoids all the hits and counters with his own attack.
" Kirisaki, Benihime(切り裂き紅姫,Shred, Crimson Princess) " Kisuke countered as he shoots the fireball barrage with his own Jutsu. However the background around Kisuke starts to turn grey scale invented color and the sky turns blood-red with a red moon casting a red light throughout the illusion with a cloudy atmosphere.
" I finally have you under my Genjutsu . You cannot counter this special Genjutsu Tsukuyomi(月読 Moon Reader) " Itachi chanted as he traps Kisuke within a stake with 200 Itachi's surrounding him.
" What the hell ? " Kisuke asked Itachi.
" In the world of Tsukuyomi...I control space and time and even the mass of Objects" Itachi states as he stabs through Kisuke.
" ARRRGH ! " Kisuke shouted as he feels the pain from Itachi's blow ." How can you hurt me with an illusion ? "
" Starting now, i will stab you for 3 days. This pain is not fake, it's no different from being stabbed by a real sword. How long your mind can withstand this punishment ? There are only 71 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds left " Itachi explained to Kisuke as his clones got to stab Kisuke.
" I see, well time to use this ! " Kisuke replied as he bites his own tongue " Sakkaku Hiteisū (錯覚否定数Illusion Negation ) " Kisuke chanted as he uses the seal on his tongue to deactivate Itachi's Tsukuyomi and break free to attack Itachi.
" Impossible, you're the second person to ever break out Tsukuyomi " Itachi said to Kisuke.
" That was my Sakkaku Hiteisū (錯覚否定数Illusion Negation ). It was a device i developed specifically to counter Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu, it's the first time i had to use that in battle . Your Tsukuyomi could rival Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu " Kisuke explained to Itachi.
" I see, you used that seal to temporarily boost up enough backup Reiatsu to release it for a short moment then use it to affect and negate the control of your brain so my Genjutsu can't work on you, clever idea Kisuke " Itachi said to shopkeeper, praising the Captain.
" I'm not the smartest man in this word for just selling candy to kids . I trained myself to see through Genjutsu, including that fake Cero of yours" Kisuke replied.
" I see, you saw through that one too, what gave me away ? " Itachi asked the hat and clogs Shinigmai.
" It was the fire damage, Ceros usually don't leave that much fire damage. You were trying to catch me off guard using Genjutsu to disguise some of your attacks besides, you need Hollow energy to fire a Cero " Kisuke answered.
" You're very cunning, you know how to see through every detail . Now , let's test the true extent of your power Kisuke " Itachi said to the former Captain as he does Rat →, Tiger , Dog →, Ox → ,Rabbit →, Tiger → Horse ,Tiger→ ,Snake → , Ram , → Monkey, → Boar →, Horse and Tiger handseals .
" This isn't good ! " Kisuke said to himself as he charges up a red beam from the tip of his sword.
" Fire Style: Blaze Ball(火遁・轟炎球Katon: Gōenkyū) " Itachi exhales a 20 foot diameter meteor-sized sphere of fire.
" Bakufū Benihime(爆風紅姫, Blast, Crimson Princess) " Kisuke countered as he fires a red laser beam from the tip of his sword like a Cero .
Both blasts collide creating a massive energy wave collision causing a collision with both of them struggling to overpower each other. All of a sudden , Itachi's right arm opens up and gains a three pinwheel red-eye form.
" Amaterasu(天照 Illuminating Heaven) " Itachi chanted as he uses his black flames to turn his giant fireball black and the fireball goes through Kisuke's blast
" What the hell ? " Kisuke shouted .
" There is no outrunning this Jutsu, no matter how fast you are, you can't escape this " Itachi said to Kisuke as the black fireball drags Kisuke away and sends the shopkeeper 2 miles away.
Meanwhile at the Minamikawwase district
Ichigo emerges out the smoke from the massive 66 foot deep, 237 foot diameter crater caused by a full power C-2 blast which produced 1.2 Kilotons of TNT from the explosive force . Ichigo is badly injured from the blast . Ichigo sustained a large 2nd degree burn on his chest and 1st degree burns extending from his right thigh to his left shoulder with half of his Bankai robe burnt off and blood coming out of his forehead and wrists from the force of the blast. White pieces of his Hollow Mask fall off his face revealing Ichigo Hollowfied last second to save himself.
" Not bad Ichigo, you survived that blast ! " Deidara said to Ichigo as Ichigo is on his knees.
" Damn you ! " Ichigo replied.
" That Bankai of yours is more durable than i though, to take the full power of C-2 and survive is no easy feat however , you're at your limit Ichigo. It's best you surrender, with your Reiatsu depleting so rapidly and you body so badly injured , you'll soon revert back to your sealed sword state and i'll take you straight to Aizen . There's no need to risk my hide going to grab you while you're still in Bankai so i'll wait here in the air where it's safe " Deidara explained to Ichigo.
" I won't let you do such a thing ! " Ichigo replied.
" There's no point fighting back. C-2 restricts you with mines and it allows me to make pinpoint attacks from the sky . You have no foothold , if you fall anywhere on that minefeld surrounding you, you'll definitely be blown to shit ! Try to airwalk and you'll be smacked back to the ground , you can't fight me, i'm the best explosives master in the world " Deidara arrogantly stated.
All of a sudden a massive explosion occurs expanding across the battlefield out southeast the expands 2 miles south of Kisuke's shop to the southern city limits.
" What's going on ? " What's with that massive explosion ? What's with those black flames ? These bastards are destroying my town " Ichigo said to himself.
" Damn that Itachi, trying to make me look like shit with his goddamn Amaterasu. I haven't forgotten that day he humiliated me, i vow myself to kill him when i get the chance " Deidara said to himself as he stares at the black spherical explosion.
Meanwhile at the Remains of the Sukari Building
Tessai and Tobi see the massive wave of black flames heading towards them .
" This is bad ! Those flames are so hot i can feel my skin burning just being indirectly at them " Tessai said to himself as he then sees Tobi running .
" RUN FOR YOUR LIFE ! " Tobi shouted as the flames come closer to them.
" This is bad, i must protect the generator of Reiteki Hogosaegi at all cost " Tessai shouted as he rushes into the building where it's at when he sees black flames heading towards him " SHIT ! " Tessai shouted as he's able to be consumed by black flames.
Meanwhile at the ruins of Karakura Community Park
Hitsugaya is at the sewers before the ruined neighborhood of the Mashiba District when he sees black flames burrowing around the sewers.
" What the hell ? " Hitsugaya asked himself as black flames head towards him .
Meanwhile Kakuzu senses the black flames and gets his distance.
" It looks Itachi is finally fighting seriously at this point. It's best i get out of here and focus on a new heart " Kakuzu said to himself as he leaves with 3 of his mask heart out of the sewers.
At the otherside of the sewer, Hitsugaya has revealed to temporarily freeze the wildfires caused by Amaterasu.
" What are these flames ? I never seen black flames before nor have i seen any flame still burning even after encased in Hyōrinmaru. Had not for my Bankai's power , i would of been roasted to a crisp. Could this black flames be as powerful as Ryujin Jakka ? " Hitsugaya asked himself as he leaves the area with the black flames melting the ice and the flames continuing to burn away in the sewers melting all the water within the sewers and staring to burn at the broken gas lines.
Meanwhile at the Kitakasaswe district
Sasori and his opponents see the explosion from a distance.
" What the hell is that explosion ? " Renji asked the team.
" A black spherical explosion ? " Kukaku asked shocked to see the explosion from a distance.
" Looks like Itachi is done playing around, your city is gone Shinigmai " Sasori answered.
" Hah, Kisuke would just rebuild all this damage in no time " Renji stated.
" That's what you think , the flames of Amaterasu continue to burn for seven days and seven nights. It cannot be extinguished with water or any other normal methods, by the time you get around rebuilding this city, there would be nothing left to rebuild it with " Sasori explained to the group.
" You're bluffing ! " Izuru stated.
" I'm afraid not, those black flames would roast you alive in seconds if hit with a concentrated blast and that's if you're lucky to be directly hit. Just a small spark of flames is enough to slowly burn you alive in minutes. The depressing part of all this is that there would be nothing left of you to put in a casket by the time the flames finally stop burning " Sasori explained to the team.
" So you bastards intend to level the town from the start ? " Momo shouted at Sasori.
" It's only fair given you destroyed Konoha , did you guys think you can get away with that ? " Sasori replied with a question.
" Still doesn't give you the right to kill innocent people and attack a town that has nothing to do with this war " Chad responded.
The team then sees the secondary shockwave arrive towards them as the explosion starts to go airborne.
" Everyone incoming ! " Kukaku shouted as everyone takes cover from the shockwave.
" It's like someone dropped a nuke on Karakura Town " Izuru said to the team as they each form their own shield.
Meanwhile at Karakura High School
Tatsuki and her friends feel the shockwave of the explosion shake the highschool as they see powerlines and cars flip over with buildings taking serve damage from the shockwave with heavy debris hitting the ground spreading small traces of black flames everywhere outside the barrier .
" What the hell is going on ? " Tatsuki asked the group.
" What's with those black flames ? " Keigo asked horrified from the explosion.
" What's happening to Karakura Town ? Who's causing these explosions ? " Mizuiro asked.
" Everybody take cover ! " Jinta stated as he feels the barrier shake from the forcewave.
" Okay ! " everyone replied as they find the few remaining desk in the destroyed room to take cover from chunks of falling ceiling parts from the tremor as everything shakes within the school despite being within the barrier .
" How can the building be shaking ? We're within a barrier " Ririn asked the group.
" The explosion is so powerful, that not even the Danku barrier could fully protect us from the shockwave " Nova answered.
Suddenly Ikkaku, Yumichika and Rangiku rush in to see the barrier starting to crack.
" Who are you guys ? " Tatsuki asked Rangiku.
" The barrier is starting to crack, get Hachigen here immediately " Rangiku answered as she puts her hands on the barrier and uses her Reiatsu to try reinforcing the barrier .
" Right ! " Yumichika and Ikkaku replied as they rush upstairs.
Meanwhile Shinji , Hachigen and love watch the explosive wave spread everywhere with the barrier starting to crack when Yumichika and Ikkaku come to warn him about the cracking barrier.
" We got a problem ! " Ikkaku and Yumichika said to the team.
" We know! This explosion is so intense that the barrier is cracking just from the shockwave alone " Shinji replied.
" This is looking bad ! " Love stated.
" I don't think can can contain this barrier for long ! " Hachigen replied as he sees the barrier cracking more from the shockwave .
All of a sudden , Tessai appears at the rooftop with the 7 foot generator of Reiteki Hogosaegi in his right hand but his left arm is gone.
" Captain Tsukabishi ! " Hachigen said to his former Captain.
" Hachigen, where no longer part of the Gotei 13, don't be so formal ! " Tessai replied as he drops the device .
" What the hell happened to you ? " Shinji asked the former Kidō Corps Commander.
" It was those black flames . I was a mile from the blast zone fighting one of the Akatsuki members . I could of escaped unharmed but then the Reiteki Hogosaegi generator would be destroyed and humans would be stuck here again caught in the crossfire. One of the flames hit my hand and it burned intensely . I used my own Zanpakutō to take off my own hand, then casted Jikanteishi (時間停止,Temporal Stasis) to stop the flames for a few seconds as they came closer to me and grabbed the generator and then used Kūkanten'i (空間転位,Spatial Displacement) to escape here " Tessai explained to the team.
" That was pretty smooth of you ! " Shinji stated.
" Thanks ! " Tessai replied as he then uses his right arm to charge up a green orb in his hand.
" What are you doing ? " Love asked Tessai as the barrier protecting the high school shatters.
" The barrier has cracked ! " Ikkaku shouted.
" We're doomed ! " Yumichika replied as he holds on to Ikkaku as flying debris come towards them.
" Bakudō # 92 . Kūkan Shīrudo ( 空間シールド Spatial Shielding ) " Tessai chanted as he punches the ground with his right hand to form a massive green barrier made of spiritual energy that engulfs the entire High School in a barrier protecting them from the Reiatsu shockwave outside as several buildings are leveled by the shockwave.
Meanwhile within the Yumisawa District
Ryūken and shockwave watch from a 4 mile distance from the explosion as the shock wave reaches them.
" What the hell is that ? " Uryū asked his father as they stare at the black explosion .
" That's one huge explosion ! " Ryūken answered as they see debris pass through them.
Tree branches and rocks come flying at Ryūken moving at 322.6 ft/sec (220 MPH ) which punches through trees .
" Uryū get behind me ! " Ryūken said to his son.
" Right ! " Uryū replied as he goes behind his father as his father uses Spiegelt ( German for Reflect ) to protect themselves from the shockwave .
Hidan stares at the explosion while being pelted by flying debris but barely fazed by the pain of the explosively charged fragments of metal, stone or glass.
" Looks like this shithole of a town has finally been destroyed " Hidan said to the two while laughing at them while barely able to move from the shockwave.
Meanwhile at Downtown Karakura Town
Yoruichi and Kisame look at the destruction occurring within the area Kisuke was fighting . They look at the 40,000 foot high massive mushroom cloud .
" Kisuke ! Please tell me you made it alive ! I can't even sense you " Yoruichi said to herself.
" Itachi, you'RE really overexerting yourself this time around. That Urahara guy must be that tough to force you into using Amaterasu in conjunction with Blaze Ball . Good thing you weren't in Susanoo when you fired that blast. Not only would this entire city be charred but so would your comrades , still i got to help out Itachi. I doubt he can hold out much longer against Kisuke , we need him for the completion of this mission " Kisame said to himself.
" What the hell is with those black flames ? " Yoruichi asked Kisame as she sees some water from the southern edge of the city start to vaporize instantly
" That's Itachi's Amaterasu ! " Kisame answered.
" Amaterasu ? " Yoruichi asked Kisame.
" Amaterasu(天照 Illuminating Heaven) is the highest level Fire Release technique in the Shinobi world. The jet-black flames of the Amaterasu, said to be the fires from hell that are as hot as the sun, ignite at the focus of the user's vision. The flames are capable of burning through most anything in their path, even smothering regular fire techniques with ease. Amaterasu is said to never stop burning; even when whatever is caught by the Amaterasu is completely reduced to ash or destroyed, it can still continue burning for seven days and seven nights. It cannot be extinguished with water or any other normal methods. Not even my Samehada could absorb the power of those flames " Kisame explained to Yoruichi.
" Just what are these guys ? One of them is so strong, he can overpower me, even in my Shikai state and engulf 1/3 of the city in water and his partner is powerful enough to nearly kill Kisuke and set 1/3 of the city on fire . If this keeps up, we would need Bankai " Yoruichi said to herself as she goes to fight Kisame again.
Back at the Mistumiya District
Itachi stared at the smoke of the explosion he created holding his right eye with his left hand as it begins to bleed. The explosion produced 156 Kilotons of TNT, over 10 times the destructive force of the Hiroshima Bomb. The blast left behind a 1,142 foot diameter, 312 foot deep crater and vaporized 3,910,000 meters ^ 3 of rock from the intense heat.
" Damn it! I didn't think i need that much power just against his Shikai , i don't think i can hold out much longer " Itachi said to himself as he holds his eye.
Out of the smoke behind Itachi, Kisuke emerges with his dark green shirt and dark green coat burnt off as well as his hat breathing heavily.
" Pheew! That was too close for comfort, you almost had me with that attack " Kisuke said to the former ANBU Captain.
" Impressive, you're the first to ever survive my Amaterasu, Blaze Ball combination . Tell me how you evaded that blast ? " Itachi asked Kisuke while appearing to be unshaken by his enemy surviving.
" Allow me to explain . I was almost done for but then i activated Chikasumi no Tate(血霞の盾,Blood Mist Shield). As the blast melted through my Blood Mist Sheild, i felt as if i was going to die . I then used Bakudō # 68. Mukeibariā(無形バリアー Intangible Barrier) to allow the blast to pass through me harmlessly however my robe was burned from the shockwave and my hat and my shirt were caught on fire . The shockwave then came towards me and i was forced to run. Had not for Yoruichi's training in Shunpo, i would of been dead. She also taught me Bakudō # 76 Onmitsufū (隠密風Stealth Wind ) in case i needed to make a quick escape without being detected and now i stand before you " Kisuke explained to Itachi.
" Impressive, that also explained the 10 second delay to the explosion. You really are a genius, however the speed of my Amaterasu is to the point it can't be dodged . Can you guess how fast Amaterasu is ? " Itachi asked Kisuke as he stands there.
" How fast is it ? " Kisuke asked.
" It moves at 500 times the speed of sound and it activates within the blink of an eye " Itachi answered as he fires another blast of black fires at Kisuke which Kisuke barely dodges which then hits the ruins of his shop and everything in the shop burns to ashes within seconds. Itachi then uses his eye to deactivate the flames around Kisuke's shop to display that the area has been reduced to an ash pit.
" Damn , that attack was pretty fast ! " Kisuke said to Itachi.
" Not bad however that was a mere demonstration of what i'm capable of doing " Itachi replied.
Meanwhile at the Dangai Precipice World
Kenpachi and Byakuya fight against Itachi 2 on 1 while Orihime watches with her Santen Kesshun protecting her . Kenpachi is kicked by the real Itachi into the wall.
" Kenpachi ! " Orihime shouted as she rushes to aid him but Kenpachi pushes her off.
" I don't need your help ! " Kenpachi replied as he gets back up and shoves Orihime away.
" Fighting me is futile, even with Bankai, you're no match for me " Itachi said to Byakuya.
" Arrogance destroys the foothold of battle , i advise you to take me seriously " Byakuya replied as he sends a wave of tendrils at Itachi but Itachi effortlessly slashes up all the Bankai tendrils with his ANBU sword and appears behind Byakuya.
" You don't realize that it's not arrogance , it's simply that you're not strong enough to take me down " Itachi replied as he's pointing his blade behind Byakuya's back .
" Impossible , i completely lost sight of him ! " Byakuya said to himself as he's stabbed through the back by Itachi.
" You're good, you almost saw through my Shunshin.. Almost ! " Itachi said to Byakuya as he removes his sword from Byakuya's back.
" Byakuya ! " Orihime shouted as she watches him fall down but it was an afterimage.
" Utsusemi " Byakuya chanted as he comes at Itachi with volley of tendrils from his Bankai that he's using both of his hands to control.
" Too slow ! " Itachi replied he appears behind Byakuya again.
" Impossible, my Senbonzakura Kageyoshi was so easily evaded " Byakuya said to himself.
" Impressive, your speed with Senbonzakura Kageyoshi is impressive, however nowhere near enough to match my Shunshin " Itachi stated as he goes to stab the Captain of the 6th division but Kenpachi appears to block the blow.
" Don't think that kick would be enough to keep me down ? That last hit only gave me an itch, put some effort into that strike next time " Kenpachi shouted as he goes to slash Itachi across the chest but Itachi dodges the blow and sheathes back his sword.
" If you insist ! " Itachi replied as he creates a shadow clone behind Kenpachi.
" Kenpachi look out ! " Orihime shouted as Kenpachi is kicked in the stomach.
" Die ! " Itachi said in a nonchalant tone as he kicks Kenpachi into his clone and the clone knees Kenpachi upward and the real one grabs him.
" That's more like it ! " Kenpachi replied as he drops his Zanpakutō .
" I have no time to deal with you, die ! " Itachi replied as he takes out 3 Shuriken in his hand .
" Gōkei (吭景, Pivotal Scene) " Byakuya chanted as he surrounds Itachi in a 30 foot diameter dome of blade fragments but Itachi counters sending water drills at Byakuya just turning his head around hitting Byakuya and injuring his arm.
" Too slow ! " Itachi said to Byakuya.
"He didn't even use a handseal , he couldn't have used a handseal. He had 3 Shuriken in his hand and Kenpachi in his left hand " Byakuya said to himself only to feel a stab to his back.
" You move too slow Byakuya and here i thought you were the third fastest in the Soul Society " Itachi said to Byakuya only to see it was another afterimage with Byakuya using his Haori to act as the bait.
" Hadō #4. Byakurai (白雷, Pale Lightning) " Byakuya chanted as he goes to fire a lighting bolt from his right hand but Itachi turns around and seemingly shoots Byakuya through his right forearm with the same spell before Byakuya can use his Kidō .
" Kidō is useless against me ! " Itachi stated.
" Incredible, he copied the move i was going to use and fired it without even pointing his finger much less saying the soul chant " Byakuya said to himself as he holds onto his injured arm.
" You son of a bitch ! Don't take me as a joke ! " Kenpachi shouted as he slashes down with an powerful slash releasing a golden-yellow Reiatsu wave which cuts Itachi in half.
" He did it ! " Orihime shouted with joy but Byakuya notices something wrong.
" Watch out Kenpachi, that's a clone ! " Byakuya warned Kenpachi as the real Itachi appears in a distance from the explosion.
" ARRGGH ! " Kenpachi shouted as he's wounded by the blast with burns on his chest and arms.
" Byakuya, Kenpachi ! " Orihime shouted as she rushes to heal Kenpachi but Kenpachi gets back up.
" Looks like your still standing Kenpachi . I guess i didn't pout enough effort into that last blow " Itachi said to the injured Captain.
" Don't mock me you bastard ! " Kenpachi replied as he removes his eyepatch unleashing a strong enough surge of energy, it becomes visible and yellow in color with the appearance of a skull. Kenpachi's spiritual pressure shoots up by 500% his base form and creates a powerful shockwave which causes the Dangai to shake as Kenpachi holds onto his sword with his grip.
" Did you think we were fighting at our full power ? Think again Bankai: Senkei , Senbonzakura Kageyoshi(殲景,千本桜景厳, Vibrant Display of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms,Slaughterscape; ) " Byakuya chanted as he gathers energy created by his blood, which glows and turns into spiritual energy, mixing with the tiny blades of his Bankai. This unites the scattered petals into complete glowing swords, numbering in the thousands, that form four rows. These rows float just above the other, and circle around Byakuya , Kenpachi and Itachi in a continuously moving, column-like array.
Orihime is barely able to withstand the massive Reiatsu as she falls to her knees even while under her Santen Kesshun .
" Amazing, Byakuya and Kenpachi are so strong. It's hard to believe Ichigo even held his own against these powerhouses on his first try . They're spiritual power is as high as when Ichigo uses his mask with his Bankai. This Shinobi can't possibly take them on by himself now " Orihime said to herself as she watches them prepare they're strongest attacks.
" Let's not waste any time Kenpachi ! " Byakuya said to Kenpachi .
" For once your making alot of sense ! " Kenpachi replied as they go for the kill.
" Shūkei: Hakuteiken (終景: 白帝剣 Last Sight: White Emperor Sword) " Byakuya chanted as he condenses each and every single one of his Bankai blades into a single, potent sword, drastically increasing its cutting power and charges at Itachi.
" Kendō: Ryōdan (剣道:両断, Way of The Sword :Bisection") " Kenpachi chanted as he swings down with all his might gathering Reiatsu around his blade.
Both attacks strike Itachi but Itachi uses both hands to block both strikes and disperse the shockwaves from the attack.
" WHAT ! " Kenpachi and Byakuya asked shocked to see Itachi block both attacks fairly easily.
" Not bad , however not good enough ! " Itachi replied as he swings his sword 20 times in a second and cuts down both Kenpachi and Byakuya effortlessly dropping both of them.
" Impossible, he took both of us out with a single blow ! " Kenpachi said to himself falling to the ground in pain.
" Just what is this guy ? " Byakuya said to himself as he staggers in pain falling down.
" Now that they are done , time to take you away Orihime " Itachi said to the busty ginger as he goes to grab her but Kenpachi gets back up.
" This isn't over yet ! " Kenpachi shouted as he gets back up.
" You just won't fall would you ? There's no future for you ! " Itachi said to Kenpachi as he sets Kenpachi on fire with black flames as Kenpachi tires to cut him causing Kenpachi to burn.
" ARRGGH ! " Kenpachi screamed in agony as he starts to burn alive as the flames burn his body and start to melt his skin but Itachi stops the flames leaving 3rd degree burns on Kenpachi's body.
" KENPACHI ! " Orihime shouted.
" You won't take Orihime away ! " Byakuya shouted as he goes to attack again with his strongest attack " Shūkei: Hakuteiken (終景: 白帝剣 Last Sight: White Emperor Sword) " Byakuya shouted as he charges at Itachi.
" You Captains are so easy ! " Itachi calmly stated as he emits a black Reiatsu from his body and blocks Byakuya's blade barehanded.
" Impossible, he blocked my Shūkei: Hakuteiken (終景: 白帝剣 Last Sight: White Emperor Sword) with his bare hand " Byakuya said to himself as he watches his Bankai break .
" Are you surprised ? I bet it never crossed your arrogant mind that an unarmed human could effortlessly block your Bankai . Us Shinobi have evolved ourselves and trained ourselves far beyond the restrictions of human limits ! Allow me to show you the true extent of a human's potential power " Itachi said to Byakuya as he opens his eye " Tsukuyomi (月読 Moon Reader) " Itachi chanted as he traps Byakuya in Genjutsu.
Byakuya then sees himself trapped within a stake within a world with a grey scale invented color and the sky turns blood-red with a red moon casting a red light throughout the illusion with a cloudy atmosphere.
" A Genjutsu ? " Byakuya said to himself .
" I wonder how long a Shinigmai with Captain class Reiatsu without the Sharingan can withstand Tsukuyomi " Itachi said to Byakuya as he stabs Byakuya in the torso.
" ARRGHHRAW! " Byakuya grunted in pain as he's unable to move " Senbonzakura, where are you ? "
" He can't hear you ? This isn't ordinary Genjutsu. In the world of Tsukuyomi...I control space and time and even the mass of objects " Itachi stated as he stabs through Byakuya.
" ARRRGH ! " Byakuya shouted as he feels the pain from Itachi's blow " How can you hurt me with an illusion ? " Byakuya asked Itachi as he sees another Itachi.
" In the world of Tsukuyomi...I control space and time and even the mass of objects" both Itachi stated as he stabs through Byakuya 2 times.
" Keep calm , it's only an illusion ! " Byakuya said to himself.
" Telling yourself it's an illusion isn't going to help you . The pain is not fake, it's no different from being stabbed by a real sword in the world of Tsukuyomi. How long would it be before i crush your soul entirely Shinigmai ? " Itachi explained to the Squad 6 Captain.
" ARRRGGH! " Byakuya shouted in pain as he then sees 200 clones appear using Shunshin.
" There are only 71 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds left " Itachi explained to Byakuya as all the clones draw there swords at him.
" Impossible, all this pain in just a single second !" Byakuya said to himself as he then sees the clones merge around him.
" I'll keep cutting you like this for 72 hours ! " Itachi said to Byakuya as they all stab him.
" ARRHGGHRGGH ! " Byakuya screamed in agony as he's stabbed repeatedly for 72 hours in the world of Tsukuyomi .
One second later , Itachi deactivates his Tsukuyomi and has Byakuya drop to the ground.
" Impossible , one second passed and he just dropped Byakuya to his knees " Orihime said to herself as she watches in horror as one of the strongest Captains in the Soul Society was easily defeated.
" It can't be, only one second past in this world and it felt exactly like 3 days in this world . Why doesn't he kill me, he had the opportunity to deliver the death-blow , is he mocking me ? Is his power that much higher than my own. This is madness , both me and Kenpachi were effortlessly defeated . How can a human be this strong ? " Byakuya said to himself.
" I must give you credit, you're the first person in 3 years to survive the full blunt of Tsukuyomi . The last person i fought that survived that was Kakaski Hatake " Itachi said to Byakuya before he falls down.
" What did you do to them ? " Orihime asked Itachi.
" They'll live as well as your friends if you come quietly with me " Itachi said to Orihime.
" First let me heal them ! " Orihime replied as she goes to heal them.
" Very well then ! " Itachi replied as he stands there while Orihime heals them .
" Don't worry. I'll save you two ! " Orihime said to the two of them as she starts the healing process .
" I wonder how long my clone could hold out ? My body is starting to feel the strain from using too much Chakra ? " Itachi said to himself as he holds on to his eyes with his hand as blood comes out of them.
Meanwhile at the 12th division barracks
Mayuri and his team watches Captain Kuchiki and Zaraki fall down and were easily defeated.
" Impossible, he took out two Captains ! " Akon stated.
" Not just any two Captains, two of the strongest Captains in this current generation " Mayuri replied.
" This is horrible ! " Rin shouted.
" Notify Captain Unohana and the Shintachio immediately, we got a S rank threat within the Dangai going to abduct Orihime " Mayuri stated.
" Right ! " Rin replied as he rushes to alert the Shintachio.
Meanwhile at the Minamikawwase district
Deidara hovers over Ichigo with his C-2 dragon waiting for him to run out of Reiatsu when Tobi rushes through to see what his senpai is doing.
" Tobi, where have you been ? I though i said for you to destroy that machines " Deidara said to Tobi.
" I tired to but this big scary guy with muscles kept me from doing so " Tobi replied as he looks at Ichigo.
All of an sudden Ichigo senses Orihime in danger.
" Orihime, she's in trouble. Someone must be after her " Ichigo said to himself as he gets back up.
" Hah, looks like you're still able to fight. Futile effort given with C-2, i can easily pwn your Bankai " Deidara arrogantly stated as he hovers 300 feet above Ichigo.
" Let's see who's laughing in the end ! " Ichigo replied as he holds his sword with both hands " I have no choice but to do this " Ichigo said to himself as he swings his sword releasing two Getsuga Tenshō's coming at Deidara but they miss him.
" Ha, was that your best shot ? Pathetic , you thought something like that would hit me ? Huh " Deidara arrogantly mocked as the bomb fired from the dragon hits Ichigo creating a 1,000 foot radius explosion.
Out of the smoke emerges Ichigo wearing his Hollow Mask .
" It's time i end this once and for all ! " Ichigo said to Deidara as he stabs his sword into the ground.
" I see, you put on that Hollow Mask at last ? Doesn't matter anyways you can't reach me " Deidara arrogantly laughed .
" We'll see about that Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo replied as he fires his sword into the ground and creates a vertical blast wave propelling himself 2,000 feet in the air to met up with Deidara.
" What the hell ? He reached me but how ? " Deidara shouted .
" Take this Noko Kuroi Getsuga( 鋸黒月牙 Sawing Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he cuts the dragon's right-wing off and causes it to lose balance
" Deidara senpai is losing balance ! " Tobi said to himself as he watches Deidara fall to the ground .
" Damn it, he threw his Bankai into the ground right at the crater where there were no mines and then fired his shot point-blank and concentrated it enough to use the explosive Reiatsu to propel himself in the air without hurting himself , then he used the remaining time to use Shunpo and airwalk get me while in the air " Deidara said to himself only to see Ichigo in the air above him pursuing him as he falls downward .
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo chanted as he fires a Getsuga Tenshō blast hitting Deidara across the chest and his left shoulder taking off Deidara's left arm with the blast and cutting the dragon head off of the body causing C-2 and it's owner to fall down .
" Senpai ! " Tobi shouted .
" I can't move ! This is bad ! I'm falling down to the mines ! " Deidara said to himself as he hits the ground with the dragon hitting with enough force to trigger the hundreds of mines within the neighborhood creating a series of explosions leveling everything within a 3,000 foot radius.
" SENPAI ! " Tobi shouted in agony as the explosions occur .
" AHH SHIT ! Karin , Yuzu ! " Ichigo shouted only to spot a barrier protecting the house " I almost forgot, the house is under the barrier, that was a close one " Ichigo said to himself as he lands back on the ground.
Meanwhile at the Kurosaki Clinic
Isshin watches the explosion past his house with the barrier protecting his house from the blast wave .
" That's my boy , now son get out of here while you still can " Isshin said to himself as he watches the battle occur between Deidara and Ichigo.
Back at the Minamikawwase district
The entire neighborhood is engulfed in smoke from the explosions created by Ichigo. Ichigo arrives at the ground 1 mile west of his house where the whole neighborhood is in flaming ruins.
" SENPAI! You blew yourself up ! I can't believe you really died " Tobi shouted only for Deidara to emerge with his left arm gone and a deep slash wound across the chest from Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho and his body covered with second degree burns from his own mines blowing up on him. He's on top of a regenerating C-2 dragon which gets back up.
" Shut the hell up Tobi ! Damn it ! " Deidara shouted as he holds on to his arm socket .
" Still standing huh ? I'll fix that in a minute " Ichigo asked the blonde haired Akatsuki.
" Those eyes... i hate those goddamn eyes so much! I hate your eyes , those are the eyes that reject my art " Deidara shouted as he uses a handseal with one hand as the dragon flies back up.
" You think that dragon is going to help you ? I'll just cut it down knowing my Bankai can cut you now " Ichigo stated as he charges up the Chakra .
" Those eyes of yours make me sick! Always judging me... and my art! You have no appreciation of the beauty of my work. Time to show you C-3 , you might want to clear out of here Tobi " Deidara shouted as he has his clay dragon forms a human-shaped statue with wings around it.
" YIKES ! " Tobi shouted as he runs cartoonishly fast to evade the blast.
" Bring it on ! " Ichigo replied as he jumps up to attack Deidara.
" Take this ! " Deidara said to the orange haired teen as the bomb comes close to Ichigo who is 990 feet high " Katsu ! " Deidara chanted as he does a handseal with his right hand to detonate the bomb.
Meanwhile at Downtown Karakura Town
Yoruichi and Kisame continue to clash with each other. Kisame goes to do a horizontal slash but Yoruichi jumps over the attack and goes for a punch but the blue skinned Akatsuki dodges the blow as the blow creates a 2,000 foot wide shockwave. Both of them clash attacks with each other as each of there strikes create 2,000 foot wide shockwaves with water shooting up 100 feet high. After 20 clashes they see an explosion nearby which causes a 20 tidal wave near them, causing them to stop
" Ichigo ! This is bad, he's approaching his limit ! " Yoruichi said to herself as she stares at the 20,000 foot high mushroom cloud .
" So that's Deidara's C-3, haven't seen that Jutsu since he bombed his own village 4 years ago . That idiot is going to end up blowing up the Substitute Shinigmai before we can extract his Inner Hollow " Kisame said to himself as he dodges a claw slash from Yoruichi.
" I got to finish this guy off fast otherwise Ichigo is going to get captured. If i use my Bankai, i can kill him off fairly fast however with the fighting being so close to Ichigo's house, there's a risk i might destroy the barrier around the Kurosaki Clinic and they would be in trouble , not to mention my power could also cause damage to the barrier protecting the High Specs in Karakura Town " Yoruichi said to herself as she dodges a downward slash from Kisame.
" This woman is tough, she's fighting me a tough fight. I want to use my Shark Skin form on her but my power would put everyone around me at risk and Itachi said that me and him need to use 30% of our full power to avoid killing the other Akatsuki members. Even at full power, neither Kakuzu, Deidara , Sasori, Tobi and Hidan could equal either me or Itachi at just 30 % power and we can end up harming them " Kisame said to himself as he avoids a claw slash from Yoruichi.
Meanwhile at Karakura Sewers
Kakuzu and Hitsugaya feel the vibrations caused by the explosion of C-3 which causes the sewers to shake . Both of them are far apart from each other.
" That was the second explosion i hear within the district Deidara is fighting within , i'm glad i'm not within his range . Hopefully he doesn't scorch all the money in this city " Kakuzu said to himself as he looks for Hitsugaya in the sewers who's hiding from Kakuzu.
" At this rate, there won't be anything left of Karakura Town, i need more time to prepare my counterassault " Hitsugaya said to himself as he keeps himself hidden .
Meanwhile at Karakura High School
Tatsuki and her friends see a massive explosion from a distance .
" That explosion was huge ! " Keigo shouted frightened to see the explosion.
" These guys are inhuman , it's like they're using cheat codes " Mizurio stated as he watches in horror the explosion from a distance.
" Damn what are they using here ? Nukes ? " Don Kanonji asked the team.
Tatsuki then turns her attention to Rangiku , Ikkaku and Yumichika.
" Who are you guys and what's with those black robes and swords ? " Tatsuki asked Rangiku.
" I guess you guys deserve an explanation , we're Shinigmai " Rangiku answered.
" Shinigmai ? You mean death gods ? " Mizuiro asked them.
" That's right, we're spirits which can't be seen by normal humans . We possess high Reiryoku and a body of Reishi we are invisible to those without spiritual powers " Yumichika answered.
" Wait a second ! You guys are ghosts ? I thought you we're like some superhuman secret agents or , creepy , if i knew that i would of never invited you to my sisters house " Keigo stated freaked out at what he heard when all of sudden Mizuho wakes up.
" Ikkaku, what are you doing in that black robe and what's with the sword ? " Mizuho asked when she then remembers him saving her life " You're not human are you ? " Mizuho asked him.
" We're not just merely ghost , we are essentially superhuman souls. When souls with exceptional spiritual energy train their bodies, they reach the level of Shinigami. The most talented of them become affiliated with various organizations like the Gotei 13 and the Onmitsukidō. Sometimes, a Shinigami is born among the residents of the Rukongai, and in some rare cases from Seireitei " Rangiku explained to them .
" You guys don't look like ghost, you look pretty human to me ! " Mizuho stated.
" Those who can see spiritual beings like Hollows and Shinigmai have a tough time distinguishing them from living beings like humans " Kon stated as he walks into the room.
" Ichigo what's going on here ? " Tatsuki asked him.
" That isn't really Ichigo, He's a modsoul created to act as Ichigo when he goes to slay monsters " Rangiku answered.
" So that must of explained that one time Ichigo kissed me, it was you . How long have you been impersonating Ichigo ? " Tatsuki shouted as she grabs Kon.
" Ichigo usually is in his human body but when monsters known as Hollows come to attack people, he uses on as a substitution to avoid causing unnecessary suspicion " Rangiku replied.
" So that explains that lie that Ichigo was injured in a truck accident , what's really going on here ? " Tatsuki asked Rangiku.
" Allow me to fully explain everything that happened within the last 5 months " Rangiku replied.
Back at the Minamikawwase district
The explosion levels everything within a 1 mile radius with the explosion pushing back Ichigo damaging Ichigo pretty badly and smashes him to the ground. The force of the explosion was twice the destructive power of the 15 Kiloton Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima . The explosion occurred within 990 feet of the streets so instead of leaving behind another crater, it vaporized everything below it except for the Kurosaki Clinic which is protected by a barrier reducing everything around a mile radius into a desert like wasteland extending from the Kurosaki Clinic to the Karate dojo Tatsuki goes to on a daily basis .
" Damn it ! That blast was strong, if that's his C-3, i hate to see his C-4 . My left arm was broken from the force of the blast, had not for blocking it, i would of lost that arm" Ichigo said to himself as he gets back up with his hollow mask still on and burns on his body as his left arm broken.
" Not bad shielding yourself with your Getsuga Tenshō but i'm just getting warmed up Ichigo Kurosaki, there's more where that came from . Your attack power has been diminished with just one working arm . Just look around you, everything you love is gone." Deidara said to Ichigo as he starts to show signs of fatigue.
" You bastard ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Fun fact Ichigo , that blast i leveled your town with was only 1/5th of C-3's power. I hit you with only 23.4 Kilotons of TNT, i can create a blast that is 117 Kilotons, since you survived that last attack, i'll finish you with my strongest explosion " Deidara explained to Ichigo.
" How did i survive that blast ? I should've died from that blast " Ichigo said to himself.
" It was thanks to me Ichigo ! " Hollow Ichigo answered.
" I should've know ! " Ichigo stated .
" You should be careful Ichigo, if you're hit again by that, i'm going to take you over " Hollow Ichigo replied.
" Way to go Deidara senpai ! You're so awesome " Tobi said to Deidara .
" Damn, that attack was strong. If i don't take him down fast , he'll kill me for sure " Ichigo said to himself as he leaps up to attack Deidara.
" I got you now Ichigo now die ! " Deidara said to Ichigo as he goes to strike Ichigo as he forms another C-3 bomb .
" No , i got you ! Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo chanted as he creates 12 afterimages of himself moving at 60,000 ft/sec(40,900 MPH).
" What the hell ? " Deidara shouted as he can't aim at Ichigo.
" Take this ! " Ichigo shouted as he slashes Deidara in the back stopping him from forming another massive bomb .
" Shit ! " Deidara shouted.
" You need to aim that attack from a distance Deidara , you can't attack up close . As long as i circle around you, you can't attack me " Ichigo said to Deidara as he moves around Deidara.
" I can't aim at him ! " Deidara shouted as he sees Ichigo disappear in front of his eyes and Ichigo appears behind him with a dense black and dark blue spiral energy drill around him .
" You're finished ! Getsuga Kussaku... " Ichigo shouted as he goes to attack Deidara but his mask shatters and he's left off-guard.
" That was too close for comfort ! " Deidara said to himself as he stares at Ichigo who is next to the tail of the creature.
" My mask shattered, it's only been 11 seconds ! " Ichigo said to himself as he loses energy in his Bankai and his attack is canceled out.
" Hmm ! " Deidara smiled with a sadistic smile on his face as he smacks Ichigo with his tall.
" Damn it , i can't move. The force of that tail whip , it's too much for me to counter. I have nothing left in me " Ichigo said to himself as Deidara follows him to the ground.
" You injured me pretty well , i can't use C-3 at this state again thanks to you but i'm still going to blast you to pieces " Deidara said to Ichigo.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Looks like blocking and surviving my C-3 took it's toll on your mask, combined with you using up all your Bankai and mask energy on running circles on me . You even started breathing heavily the second your mask shattered , it's over Ichigo. You almost had me with that last attack of yours and you managed to cut off my arm and good a few good hits on me but when it comes down to it , you were no match for me hmmm! Katsu ! " Deidara arrogantly explained to Ichigo as he files a clay dragon at Ichigo creating an explosion within midair .
Meanwhile at Karakura Sewers
Hitsugaya and Kakuzu are within the sewers within the Kitakawase district 200 meters east of shockwave's house which is heavily flooded by the tidal wave Kisame created . Kakuzu walks through the 5 foot high tidal surge within the 10 foot diameter sewage drain he's in with his mask spreading out to other parts of the sewer following Hitsugaya's ice trial.
" Foolish mistake hiding in the sewers kid, no matter how well you mask you Reiatsu, i can easily see that trail of ice you leave within the water " Kakuzu said to himself as he walks around the water when he meets a four-way intersection with 4 trials of ice " What the hell ? "
" You fell for it ! Guncho Tsurara (群鳥氷柱, Icicle Flock) " Hitsugaya chanted as he shoots 120 kunai like ice projectiles at Kakuzu from the north tunnel but Kakuzu isn't fazed and the projectiles shatter on his body.
" Did you learn anything from our last clash ? Water and Ice attacks are useless against my Iron Skin " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya as he then sees Hitsugaya at the east tunnel .
" Tsuzuri Raiden Kyodai Hiryū " Hitsugaya chanted as he sends a 75 foot Chinese dragon charged up with lightning at Kakuzu.
" That tactic again ? That won't work Wind Release Stream " Kakuzu chanted as he fires a powerful blast of wind from his wind mask to cancel out the lightning enhanced dragon. Hitsugaya then comes at Kakuzu from the south side to attack him from behind.
" Hyōryū Senbi (氷竜旋尾, Ice Dragon Swirling Tail) " Hitsugaya chanted as he swings his sword in a linear direction and creates overflowing ice from his blade in the form of a crescent wave at Kakuzu.
" Lightning Style: Piercing Darkness " Kakuzu countered as he has his lightning mask fire a lighting blot beam that tears through the wave cutting it in half and almost hitting the Captain but Hitsugaya uses Shunpo to appear at the north tunnel and charges at him .
" Ryūsenka Tsuzuri Raiden " Hitsugaya chanted as he comes at Kakuzu.
" How predictable Fire Style : Searing Eye Ray " Kakuzu chanted as he fires two powerful beams of light similar to heat vision that blasts through Hitsugaya's head .
" ARRGH ! " Hitsugaya shouted as his head heats up and then his head explodes.
" Gotcha ! " Kakuzu stated only to see body shatter into ice.
" Thanks to all this water and this sewer, ii've had all the time in the world to set this up . You left me alone for way too long . You might have 5 hears but i have all the water in the atmosphere as well as this sewer Sennen Hyōrō (千年氷牢, Thousand Years' Ice Prison)" Hitsugaya chanted as he surrounds Kakuzu with ice pillars to spin around him .
" Didn't i warn you that Ice base attacks can't hurt me ? " Kakuzu asked Hitsugaya.
" We'll see about that ! " Hitsugaya replied as he has all the pillars smash into him separating him from his heart mask.
All of a sudden, Kakuzu smashes out of the attack with his skin blackened form using his Jutsu .
" I must admit kid, that last attack was stronger than the last one , had not for my Doton: Domu (土遁・土矛 Earth Style: Iron Skin) , you would of seriously damaged me ,even with that attack " Kakuzu said to the Captain .
" How did you make a handseal so fast ? " Hitsugaya asked Kakuzu.
" I can use handseals in just a second , you have no chance kid " Kakuzu stated as he goes to attack Hitsugaya but then he finds himself binded down as well as his hearts.
" Good thing Momo taught me this trick, this is the first time i used Bakudō #26. Kyokko (曲光Curved Light) in combination Hadō #12. Fushibi (伏火, Ambush Flare) " Hitsugaya said to Kakuzu.
" What the hell ? You tricked me " Kakuzu shouted.
" I knew that Sennen Hyōrō wasn't enough to kill you however it would set you up for this trap. Now that you're in the sewers where your trapped in with tons of water, i can finish you off " Hitsugaya said to Kakuzu as he jumps out of the sewers with water flowing into the sewers spraying over Kakuzu who has ice on his shoulders as all the water freezes from the influence of his Bankai as Hitsugaya hovers in the air.
" Damn it, i can't move ! Get him before he gets an attack on me " Kakuzu said to himself as the other hearts break out and Kakuzu manages to have has hearts come at Hitsugaya.
" God of the storm ! " Hitsugaya chanted only to see the Wind Mask come at him.
" Wind Style : Pressure Damage " Kakuzu chanted as the wind mask fires a barrage of blasts at Hitsugaya but Hitsugaya blocks it with his ice wings.
" Rage now and show me the path forward to the peaceful lands " Hitsugaya chanted as his sword glows with yellow Reiatsu but then the water mask comes at him.
" Water Style: Torrent wave " Kakuzu chanted as his water heart shoots a power fireball at Hitsugaya but the Captain uses Shunpo to dodge it midair .
" Now i got you ! " Hitsugaya stated as he flies down to attack Kakuzu but Kakuzu has his hearts surround him.
" No i got you ! " Kakuzu replied as he has all 3 mask shoot blasts at Hitsugaya blowing the Captain up while in midair but then the body explodes with ice hitting the mask and freezing them in midair .
" I got you now ! " Hitsugaya shouted.
" What ? " Kakuzu shouted only to see Hitsugaya behind him while he's blinded in the sewers.
" Hadō #11. Tsuzuri Raiden (綴雷電, Bound Lightning) " Hitsugaya chanted as he stabs Kakuzu through the heart.
" ARRRGGH ! " Kakuzu shouted in pain as he feel the pain of his heart stabbed.
" You fell for it, i wanted to lure your hearts away from you while i binded you and get you with a powerful close range strike , you sent out 3 of your 4 hearts because you still need one in your body right ? By killing the one in your body, i ended you and your control of the other ones " Hitsugaya explained to Kakuzu.
" Impossible, you figured out my weakness... you planned so far ahead for a kid " Kakuzu stated .
" That's what you get for underestimating the Captains of the Gotei 13 " Hitsugaya replied as he stands there with his Bankai blade.
" ARRGH ! " Kakuzu screamed as he drops to the floor dead.
Hitsugaya then picks up his soul phone which is ringing with an emergency ringtone.
" Ichigo is in trouble. His Reiatsu dipped rapidly from 250,000 RYK to 1, 250 RYK. He either was beaten badly by his opponent or he lost all his energy at the wrong moment due to the untreated wounds in his Saketsu (鎖結, Binding Chain) and Hakusui (魄睡, Soul Sleep) as well as his entire Reitekina Junkankei( 霊的な循環系、Spiritual Circulatory System ). Either way , his opponent is strong . He's currently at 100,000 RYK with his power peaking as high as 500,000 RYK . His power went down to 50,000 RYK, i need to approach him carefully " Hitsugaya said to himself as he goes to aid Ichigo but then he sees the 3 mask hearts charge towards Kakuzu and go into him .
" RWAARGH !" Kakuzu shouted as he stands back up .
" What the hell ? " Hitsugaya shouted as he watches Kakuzu get revived.
Kakuzu cannibalize the Wind mask and then merges with the other two remaining hearts.
" That was a close call ! " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya standing up with a dark red aura around him.
" Impossible, i killed you. I took out your heart while the others were separated , those other hearts should of been negated " Hitsugaya stated with a shock look on his face.
" Nice job, i almost died there but you fucked up big time ! You could've killed me off permanently if you killed each of the hearts attacking you " Kakuzu explained to Hitsugaya as he morphs his body as his arms extend outward and gains more muscle mass and his back gains 8 gray tentacles made of hundreds of thick black threads . His mouth also gains fibers coming out of it and two mask appear at his shoulders.
" What the hell are you ? Are you even human ? You had no pulse a minute ago " Hitsugaya asked Kakuzu.
" You're not the first one who's asked me that question and you won't be the last however it would be the first time i ever wield a Shinigami's heart . I can manage how much stronger i'll be if i processed that Bankai and your power . I don't need to picture that because i intend to take your heart " Kakuzu answered as he extends his right arm 20 feet away towards Hitsugaya.
" What the hell ? " Hitsugaya shouted as he barely blocks Kakuzu's strike with both hands on his sword.
" Not bad, you blocked the first strike! " Kakuzu said to the white-haired Captain.
" Damn , he's strong . He's pushing my sword back with just one open palm " Hitsugaya said to himself as he's being pushed back 5 feet.
" You Captain class Shinigami are tougher than i thought but let's see if you can handle against 9 more attacks of that same level " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya as he stretches out his left hand and all 8 of his tentacles pushing back Hitsugaya causing the sewers to be destroyed.
The force of the strike levels everything within a 660 foot radius leveling 25 buildings creating a 138 foot diameter , 38 foot deep crater producing 230.18 tons of TNT with shockwave's house leveled in the strike . Hitsugaya is revealed to his Bankai blade broken and his Bankai wings shattered however he uses the nearby water to repair the damage but still has an injured right arm from the force of the strike.
" Damn, that was a powerful strike ! " Hitsugaya said to himself as he barely stands from the strike.
" Worn out already ? That was just a practice strike , i haven't even begun to fight with all my strength yet " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya.
" Damn it, if he's telling the truth , then i can't afford to hold back any further " Hitsugaya said to himself as he holds his sword but then he senses Momo nearby " Damn it , i'm too close to her and the rest of the team " Hitsugaya thinks to himself.
" Now allow me to end this Captain ! " Kakuzu replied as he goes to attack Hitsugaya.
Meanwhile at the Kitakasaswe district
Sasori attacks Chad , Momo, Izuru , Renji and Kukaku with his Iron Sand attacks . Renji dodges a rain of Iron Sand kunai that almost hit him in his Bankai state.
" Damn , his attacks are so fast ! " Renji said to his team as he evades another attack.
" Not bad reflexes for someone wielding such a huge weapon but let's see you dodge this attack " Sasori said to Renji as he comes at Renji with a powerful Iron Sand tendril but Chad gets in the way .
" El Directo (Spanish for The Direct) " Chad chanted he releases a huge blast of spiritual energy that knocks back the tendril.
" Not bad but try stopping this ! " Sasori said to Chad as he sends a spear-shaped Iron Sand tendril at Chad but Chad manages to block it with his right shield arm.
" That arm blocked the piercing power of my Iron Sand , not bad but try withstanding this " Sasori said to Chad as he summons another wave of sand to form a giant pyramid, giant rectangle and giant square " Satetsu Kesshū (砂鉄結襲 Iron Sand Gathering Assault ) " Sasori chanted as he sends his attacks flying at full speed .
" Take this ! " Chad shouted as he punches the square with immense strength and sends it flying towards Sasori.
" You're becoming annoying ! " Sasori stated as he sends a sand wave towards Chad and it weighs him down .
" I can't move ! " Chad stated as he struggles to move.
" Now die ! " Sasori shouted as he sends a giant pyramid hurling towards Chad like a drill .
" Bakudō # 37. Tsuriboshi (吊星, Suspending Star) " Izuru , Momo and Kukaku all chanted as they protect Chad from the drill but the attack manages to drill through it. Chad uses his raw strength to break out of the Iron Sand and uses Sonido to evade last second before the drill pierces through the spiritual fabric.
" That was close, too close for comfort ! " Chad said to the team .
" Noble effort guys, you went out your way to save him. Is it because he's the only one who can bypass my special barrier that renders direct sword strikes against me useless ? " Sasori asked the group.
" No, it's because he's our friend ! " Renji replied as he goes to assault Sasori.
" I told you, Bankai attacks are useless against me ! " Sasori arrogantly mocked Renji as he stands there.
" If sword based attacks can't kill you, let's try energy blasts Hikotsu Taihō (狒骨大砲, Baboon Bone Cannon) " Renji chanted as he hits Sasori with a direct blast at point-blank range but Sasori shields himself with Iron Sand .
" You're so predictable ! " Sasori said to Renji as he has the Third Kazekage Puppet come at Renji only to notice Kukaku behind him , Izuru left of him ,Momo right of him and Chad above him.
" Tengoku Sandāsuto (天国サンダーストHeaven Thunder Strike ) " Kukaku chanted as she shoots another fissure blast towards Sasori.
" El Directo (Spanish for The Direct) " Chad chanted as he fires another blast of energy.
" Snap Tobiume: Nishisen Katagien Yari (螺線形木炎槍 Spiraling Tree Flame Spear ) " Momo chanted as she holds her Shikai with both hands and charges up a spiraling fireball then fries the blast towards Sasori in a long straight-forward explosive flaming spear.
" Hadō #63. Raikōhō (雷吼炮, Thunder Roar Sear) " Izuru chanted as she shoots a powerful lightning blast at Sasori.
The combined blasts levels everything within a 1,000 foot radius blowing up 200 buildings .
" We got him this time ! " Renji said to the team .
" Good job ! " Momo stated.
" He shouldn't be alive from that attack " Izuru said to the team.
" Right ! " Chad replied.
The smoke clears up to reveal that Sasori has shielded himself from their attack with his Iron Sand.
" That was a close one ! " Sasori said to the group.
" Damn it , our attacks failed ! " Kukaku stated.
" Nice attack however , your attacks aren't enough . As long as i have the Third Kazekage puppet , no one can beat me " Sasori said to the group as he stands there unfazed by their attacks.
" Damn, how are we going to beat him ? " Kukaku asked as they look at Sasori.
Meanwhile at the Senkaimon Gate
The Shinigmai are having troubles opening the gate .
" What's going on ? " Unohana asked the gate guardians.
" Someone placed an Anit-Senkaimon barrier around the Dangai " the gate guardians answered.
" What ? " Unohana shouted as she tries to open the gate but it won't work.
" We got our own problems , it seems one of the Shinobi have defeated Kenpachi and Byakuya easily and is now with Orihime " Mayuri stated.
" Those bastards ! Have you put up any defenses ? " Unohana asked.
" We put up several counter-reversal barriers and even have the cleaner on standby in case things get ugly , we can only hope to stall the Shinobi long enough to undo the barrier and backup would arrive " Mayuri answered.
" Why not send out Shinji and the others ? " Unohana asked Mayuri.
" Because the barrier the enemy set up was also designed to keep anyone from leaving or entering Karakura Town " Mayuri answered.
" This must be Aizen's doing . No Shinobi could possibly have this much knowledge of how the Senkaimon works " Unohana stated.
" This is more than enough to connect Aizen with the Shinobi ! " Mayuri replied.
Meanwhile at the Dangai Precipice World
Itachi stands next to Orihime after she's done healing Kenpachi and Byakuya who are out cold.
" Come with me ! " Itachi said to Orihime.
" No, i refuse . Ichigo is.. " Orihime stated.
" No match for me . I believe Ichigo had a difficult time with these two and yet i defeated the both of them so easily " Itachi replied as he stares at Orihime.
" I refuse to give up with Ichigo, Ichigo would come to save me " Orihime said to the stone faced Akatsuki member.
" I'm afraid it's impossible for him to do that even if he could , the barrier i set up prevents anyone form entering or leaving the space we're in without Lord Aizen's permission " Itachi explained to Orihime.
" I'm not going to let you take me alive Hadō #31. Shakkahō (赤火砲, Red Fire Cannon) " Orihime chanted as she blinds Itachi and runs to the barrier and tries to use her powers to break it but Itachi appears in front of her.
" Bold move trying to break the barrier and escape but it's futile. Perhaps i need to break your spirit, Tsukuyomi (月読 Moon Reader) " Itachi said to Orihime as he traps her in Genjutsu .
Meanwhile at Downtown Karakura Town
Yoruichi and Kisame fight each other in the ruins of Downtown Karakura Town. Yoruichi slashes at Kisame with her claws but Kisame blocks with his sword. Yoruichi dashes at the blue skinned Akatsuki member and throws a kick him but Kisame dodges the first kick by ducking down and blocks the second one with his Samehada. Kisame then dodges a fury of lunges and stabs from Yoruichi's Shikai and goes for a swings his sword almost cutting her.
" Not bad but let's see how tough you really are " Yoruichi said to Kisame as she charges at the blue skinned Shinobi.
" Now you're taking ! " Kisame replied as he goes to attack his foe.
Yoruichi attacks Kisame with her open palm to Kisame's stomach and pushes him back 500 feet . Yoruichi goes to strike Kisame but the blue skinned Shinobi dodges a punch from the former 2nd division Captain. Yoruichi dashes towards Kisame but the Akatsuki member uses Shunshin to appear behind the dark skin ex Captain dodging her chop and tires to hit her with a slash aimed at her head but Yoruichi counters with a kick to the face but Kisame grabs her leg before it hits his face and tosses Yoruichi back .
" Time to have a bit more fun !" Kisame said to Yoruichi as he tosses his massive shark skin sword in the air and does Ram → Clone seal → Dog → Technique specific seal and Rat hand seals.
" He's trying to use a Jutsu !" Yoruichi said to Kisame.
" Water Style: Five Feeding Gluttonous Sharks Frenzy " Kisame chanted as he puts both hand palms together then slam one hand on the water's surface and uses his hand on the water and from the tips of five fingers using his Chakra to create five ferocious sharks made of water heading towards Yoruichi.
" Hadō #31. Shakkahō (赤火砲, Red Fire Cannon) " Yoruichi countered as she blasts through the five sharks but the explosion creates a torrent of ran falling down. Kisame then uses Ram → Clone seal → Dog → Rat → Ram → Clone seal → Dog → → Rat and Rat handseal.
" Water Style: Four Shark Shower " Kisame chanted as he creates countless droplet-sized sharks from the rain drops from the explosion that rain down on Yoruichi like bullets scattering around her. Yoruichi tires to dodge them but she's grazed on her left wrist and right shoulder.
" ARRGH ! Damn it ! " Yoruichi shouted as she barely dodges the attacks.
" No matter how fast you are, you can't dodge millions of rain droplets falling down on you, especially when i'm draining the Chakra within your feet " Kisame explained to Yoruichi as he jumps into the air after the shower stops and goes to cut Yoruichi in half but Yoruichi uses her claws to block the attack with her claws protecting her from the jump strike however Yoruichi is being pushed down by the force of Kisame's blow as water is uplifted 100 feet high from the force of his blow.
" His strength, it's as high as a Kage ! " Yoruichi said to herself as she struggles to block the strike with both claws but Kisame has absorbed enough of her Chakra to easily hold her back with just his left hand on his sword.
" Die ! " Kisame shouted as he punches Yoruichi in the face with his right hand with immense force sending the former Captain 100 feet downward as the shockwave disperses all the water within a 2000 foot radius for 10 seconds from Kisame's blow. The force of the blow created a 300 foot diameter, 100 foot deep crater below the 100 foot water wave which Yoruichi is trapped in.
" Damn , the force of his punch was enough to disperse the water around him and create a crater within the bottom of his little lake " Yoruichi said to herself as she looks to see Kisame above her.
" Now let's see you dodge this Goddess of Flash Water Style: Infinite Shark Jutsu " Kisame chanted as he puts both hands in the water to create an orb of water. The orbs then explodes into countless water sharks numbering at the thousands coming at Yoruichi underwater.
" Damn it , i can barely dodge them ! " Yoruichi said to herself as she dodges hundred of shark bombs heading towards her.
" Ha, it's useless to try dodging. Water naturally slows down the speed and reaction time of the victim by 2 times, combine with the fact i'm constantly absorbing your Chakra and limiting your movements, you can't dodge me or my attacks " Kisame explained to Yoruichi as he hits Yoruichi countless times with each exploding shark creating a 10 foot radius explosion until they all explode creating a mile radius explosion shooting water 10,000 feet in the air.
Meanwhile at the Mistumiya District
Kisuke notices Yoruichi is in trouble.
" This is bad Yoruichi is in trouble ! " Kisuke said to himself as he dodges Itachi's attacks.
" Your reflexes are good, to dodge Amaterasu even if it's by an inch is impressive " Itachi said to Kisuke.
" That attack is fast , it's much faster than an Espada's Bala . I have Yoruichi's training in Shunpo to thank, that and used to dodging her attacks, her maximum speed in Shikai alone is 525 times the speed of sound. Even your high-speed Amaterasu doesn't compared to that that's why i was able to instinctively dodge it , even if it's barely and it take alot out of me " Kisuke explained to Itachi.
" You're good but not good enough ! " Itachi replied as he comes at Kisuke with his ANBU sword.
Kisuke comes at Itachi with a two-handed downward slash but Itachi blocks with his own two-handed slash. Itachi then uses Amaterasu at point-blank range but Kisuke manages to block it with his Shikai however his sword starts to burn.
" Damn, that was a close one ! " Kisuke said to Itachi as his sword catches fire.
" I'm impressed you were able to block from that , still i wonder how long you can maintain your Shikai " Itachi said to Kisuke.
" Thank you for the compliment but i can cancel that out ! " Kisuke replied as he pours his energy at his Shikai " Tsuppane, Benihime(突ッ撥紅姫, Spurning, Crimson Princess) " Kisuke chanted as he uses his technique to negate Amaterasu on his Shikai however his Shikai is cracked and burned.
" I must admit, that was impressive canceling out my Amaterasu however it looks like your blade took too much damage " Itachi said to Kisuke.
" He's right, my Shikai blade took too much damage just from a small burst of his black blades. It can't withstand another strike of that level " Kisuke said to himself as he starts to feel fatigue .
" Let's see you dodge this attack ! " Itachi stated as he does multiple stabs at Kisuke but Kisuke has trouble blocking the blade.
Kisuke and Itachi clash blades 143 times with each strike putting stress on Kisuke's blade and causing it to crack more.
" My Shikai can't take much more damage , at this point it's going to crack " Kisuke said to himself as then sees another blast of black flames heading towards him grazing his shoulder . Kisuke slashes the skin on his shoulder containing the black flames a spilitsecond before it burns through the rest of his body exposing the muscles tendons on his left shoulder with black flames burning around the area.
" Quick thinking Kisuke cutting off the skin on your shoulder but you just handicapped yourself " Itachi stated as the black flames burn around a 5 story building and burns down the building in seconds.
" You can't burn me down so easily ! " Kisuke replied holding on to the bloody shoulder.
" Do you plan to cut every part of your body if it's hit by Amaterasu ? " Itachi asked Kisuke.
" No, i just need to cut your head off or that eye and you won't be able to use Amaterasu " Kisuke answered as he comes at Itachi.
" Amaterasu : Rising Sun " Itachi chanted as he shoots a concentrated jet of black flames at Kisuke.
" Kamisori, Benihime(剃刀紅姫,Razor, Crimson Princess ) " Kisuke countered as he swings his sword creating a razor like beam blocking the black flames Kisuke struggles to hold back the blast with all his flames but the blast burns a few strains of his hair as Kisuke cuts the blast in half with his Benihime and fires the blast towards Itachi.
" This isn't good ! " Itachi said to himself as he opens his left eye and the blast hits creating a 1 mile radius.
Kisuke cuts the flames on his hair, taking a chunk of his own hair as he watches his hair burn.
" Phew that was a close call ! Had this battle drag on , i would of become a baldly " Kisuke said to himself feeling on his missing hair chunk.
The smoke clear up to reveal that Itachi survived the blast with a red rib cage around Itachi before it disappeared revealing that Itachi used the ribcage of Susanoo to shield himself from the blast , taking no injury whatsoever.
" That was a close call, i guess that was all you got left " Itachi said to Kisuke standing there brushing off the dirt on his ANBU outfit .'
" Impossible, i hit you with everything i got ! " Kisuke stated.
" It looks like you reached your limit with your Shikai " Itachi said to Kisuke.
" This is bad, he doesn't even look damaged at all . How is this even possible ? " Kisuke said to himself.
" Looks like there's nothing more you can do, time to put an end to this " Itachi said to Kisuke as he opens both eyes.
" This is bad , his Reiatsu is shooting up again " Kisuke said to himself horrified at what he sees .
" Amaterasu : Rising Sun " Itachi chanted as he shoots another concentrated jet of black flames at Kisuke.
" Chikasumi no Tate(血霞の盾,Blood Mist Shield) " Kisuke chanted as he summons his blood mist shield but it starts to break as the burning flames increases and Kisuke is burned by the immensely powerful flames as he's pushed back .
" There's no use blocking this attack, i put everything i had into this attack " Itachi said to Kisuke as he drags him away 4 miles away to Orihime's neighborhood where the blast detonates .
" ARRGH ! " Kisuke shouted as the flames explode leveling everything within a mile radius.
"ARRGH ! I used too much power " Itachi screamed in pain as he holds onto his eyes as they bleed from the Chakra exhaustion and strain.
Back at the Minamikawwase district
Deidara see the massive inferno at the otherside of the river as he sees Amaterasu go into the river and starts to vaporize the riverbed while standing in the desert like wasteland that is Ichigo's neighborhood . Deidara is still hurt and exhausted of his Chakra and his body is starting to feel fatigue from his injuries in battle. He lost his left arm from a Hollowfied Getsuga Tensho which the wrist was already lightly burned by Chad's El Directo and the forearm and elbow seriously burn and cut by Orihime's full power Koten Zanshun. Deidara also has a deep slash wound across the chest from Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshō and his body covered with second degree burns and a small cut on his right forearm with some ice on it from Rukia's attack.
" Damn that Itachi mocking my art with his impressive look Amaterasu ? Does he think he can blow up more of this shithole city than me ? "
Deidara shouted as he struggles to breath while ignoring the bleeding from his left arm socket as he stands on the ground while Tobi rides around C-2.
" YEEAAHAH ! Riding dragons are fun ! " Tobi childishly stated as he flies around the ruins of the neighborhood.
Ichigo gets back up in his Shikai state with the top half of his Shihakusho gone revealing his bandaged up body from his neck to pelvic area with his right arm bandaged up however the pectorals aren't bandaged up because of the 2nd degree burns melting through the bandaged area and his wrists aren't bandaged up either . The bottom half of his Shinigmai Shihakusho only covers up to his knees leaving his ankles and legs exposed with bandages covering them. The bandages on his left arm are gone revealing his broken arm covered with burns and acupuncture wounds still not fully healed from Naruto's Rasenshuriken . Ichigo struggles to stand.
" You bastards! You'll pay for leveling this town to the ground ! I'LL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU ! " Ichigo shouted as he struggles to stand while wielding his Shikai.
" Please, you're not even in Bankai anymore , hell at your banged up state, i can defeat you barehanded " Deidara replied as he kicks Ichigo 500 feet away.
Ichigo gets back up and tries to use Bankai again.
" Bankai ! " Ichigo shouted as he tries to use Bankai but his body feels pain .
" Looks like you're having some problems with your sword , use your mask " Deidara said to Ichigo.
" Damn it, i guess i have no choice " Ichigo said to himself as he tries to hollowfy but it fails .
" Looks like you can't pull out that mask again once it breaks and it seems you can't use Bankai again either . I guess i got lucky today after all " Deidara said to Ichigo.
" You bastard , you're going down ! " Ichigo shouted as he charges at Deidara .
" You fool ! " Deidara replied as he sidesteps the slash and grabs Ichigo with his right arm and slams him to the ground and cover his body with clay with the mouth on his hand.
" What the hell is that ? Is that a mouth on your hand ? " Ichigo asked the blonde Shinobi.
" Oh those, you just noticed that now ? These are part of the reason how i can create beautiful works of art " Deidara answered.
" You mean those worthless bombs ? " Ichigo asked Deidara.
" Shut your mouth! You need to be taught a lesson not to make fun of my art " Deidara shouted as he takes out curved kunai.
" What are you doing ? " Ichigo asked Deidara.
" Don't worry, i won't kill you. You need to be alive when we extract that monster out of you, i'm just going to take off that injured arm of yours " Deidara answered as he comes closer to Ichigo.
" What happened to not caring about killing me ? " Ichigo asked.
" You're not worth killing anymore, i expected more from you " Deidara answered.
Meanwhile Tobi is flying on the dragon.
" Deidara senpai has this won ! " Tobi said to himself as he flies above the two.
" An eye of an eye Ichigo or should i say an arm for an arm " Deidara shouted as he goes to cut Ichigo but then his blade is stopped by Rukia.
" You're not hurting Ichigo ! " Rukia replied as she pushes him back with her Shikai.
" Rukia, what are you doing here ? " Ichigo asked Rukia.
" Finishing my fight with this guy ! " Rukia answered.
" But you stand no chance , he's too powerful !" Ichigo stated.
" Not with one arm and besides i have a trick up my sleeve that i didn't get enough time to use in my battle due to his sneak attack " Rukia replied.
" Ha, like it'll make a difference. If a Captain level Shinigmai like Ichigo failed to beat me, what thinks a pitiful Vice Captain could beat me ? I only need one arm to beat you " Deidara arrogantly stated.
" Let's see if this changes your mind , Ichigo stand back ! " Rukia replied .
" But Rukia... " Ichigo said to her.
" But nothing.. Get back ! " Rukia shouted as her eyes glow light blue and her body is surrounded with a white Reiatsu and snow forms around her sword and body .
" Right ! " Ichigo replied as he gets back 200 feet.
" Please, nothing you can do can beat me . I'll kill you with this kunai and then cut his arm off " Deidara shouted as he charges at Rukia.
" Allow me to show you the true power of Sode no Shirayuki Bankai " Rukia chanted as her entire body is surrounded in snow like a cocoon and her Reiatsu forms around her and the ribbon around wrap around her right arm.
" Bankai ? When did Rukia achieve Bankai ? " Ichigo said to himself shocked to see Rukia exerting so much spiritual power
" What the hell is this ? " Deidara said to himself as he's surprised that Rukia has Bankai.
Snow begins to fall within a 400 foot radius as Rukia's ice and snow cocoon shatters freezing everything within a 300 foot radius.
" Bankai : Shirayuki Shiro Tsukihime( 白雪,姫白月 White Snow, White Moon Princess ) " Rukia chanted as she gains a white kimono with a tria on the top of her head made of ice and her Zanpakutō is now a crescent shape pure white double edge scythe. The scythe has a snowflake shaped pattern between the blades, Rukia's hair is longer .
" Where did you get this much power ? " Ichigo asked Rukia.
" Nevermind that, it's time i get some payback for what happened to you " Rukia answered.
" What a beautiful Bankai you process, it's a shihakushō type Bankai like my Tensa Zangetsu " Ichigo explained marveling at her Bankai.
" So what ? You're a Vice Captain with a Bankai. My friend Sasori is fighting one of you guys right now and is having no problems tossing him around. I already know that you just recently achieved that Bankai during the Konoha invasion, a Vice Captain achieving Bankai is far inferior to a Captain level Bankai . Hell you only have 16,000 RYK currently , what thinks you can.. . " Deidara explained to Rukia only for Rukia to vanish in front of his eyes.
" You talk too much ! " Rukia replied as she used Shunpo moving at 11733.5 ft/sec (8,000 MPH) with her scythe behind his neck.
" She's fast ! " Deidara shouted as he barely dodges a slash from Rukia which cuts his right shoulder.
" Rukia's speed is on par with my Tensa Zangetsu . That bastard only has one arm and is too exhausted to fight back , Rukia has this won " Ichigo said to himself as he watches.
Deidara blocks Rukia's attack but the kunai shatters on impact .
" Damn it ! " Deidara shouted.
" That puny weapon won't hold back my Bankai " Rukia replied as she comes at Deidara with a slash to the right arm but Deidara dodges the slash.
" This is bad, with just one arm. My attack speed is only half it's normal function and i don't have enough power left to deal with her , guess it's back to the dragon " Deidara said to himself as he dodges attacks from Rukia.
Rukia comes at Deidara with 5 blows with the but of her scythe but Deidara dodges them moving his head side to side . Rukia then goes to slash off Deidara's arm but the blonde haired Akatsuki jumps out of the way . Rukia goes to do a jump slash but Deidara moves out of the way as the slash creates a 1 foot deep 3 foot diameter crater.
" You're not escaping me ! " Rukia stated as she uses Shunpo to blitz Deidara and comes at him with a horizontal slash but Deidara dodges it barely as his right leg is grazed from the blow.
" This bitch moves almost as fast as Hidan ! " Deidara stated as he narrowly dodges a slash aimed at his head that cuts his left shoulder next to the arm socket.
" You're not escaping me ! " Rukia shouted as she appears behind Deidara with her scythe near his neck.
" Deidara senpai look out behind you ! " Tobi shouted as Deidara turns around.
" This is for what you did to Karakura Town ! " Rukia shouted as she decapitates Deidara with her scythe.
" DEIDARA SENPAI ! " Tobi shouted only to notice it's really a clay clone.
" Rukia look out ! " Ichigo shouted only for Deidara to appear in front of him.
" Too Late ! Katsu ! " Deidara shouted as he tries to detonate it but it's frozen by Rukia then the bomb turns into harmless white smoke " What ! "
" Nice reflexes making a clone with just one hand however that's not enough to stop me " Rukia said to Deidara.
" Impossible ! You stopped my explosion before it happened ? " Deidara asked Rukia.
" I figured out your Jutsu. You use both fire and earth handseals to use your explosives. When we were fighting earlier and you caught me off-guard by blowing up your own claybrid, i saw you use both Fire and Earth handseals. Earth might be strong against Water and Ice attacks but Fire isn't. You need flames to ignite the explosive Chakra within the clay shell of your explosives. You truly are a terrible artist " Rukia explained to Deidara.
" You're the one to talk, your drawings suck ! " Ichigo stated only to get hit in the head with a rock.
" Shut up Ichigo ! " Rukia replied.
" Damn you , you bitch. Tobi get off C-2 and let me take a ride on that " Deidara said to his comrade.
" Okay Deidara senpai ! " Tobi replied as he jumps onto his C-2 Dragon .
" Shit ! Rukia look out ! " Ichigo shouted.
" I see, so that's your trick ! " Rukia said to Deidara .
" My art is an explosion ! " Deidara replied as he fires a small miniature dragon at Rukia.
" Shiro no Tsuki no Sakeme(白の月の裂け目White Moon Rift) " Rukia chanted as she spins her scythe in a 180 degree angle vertical and swings the scythe downward unleashes a powerful blast of ice cutting the clay dragon in half before it can explode .
" What ! " Deidara shouted.
" Now for the finishing blow . Ichigo, get at least 300 meters away from here " Rukia said to Ichigo.
" Right ! " Ichigo replied as he sees Rukia fight Deidara.
" Yonodori Shiro Gengetsu ( 四踊り、白弦月 Fourth Dance, White crescent Moon ) " Rukia chanted as she hits the ground with her scythe and her spiritual energy tunnels into the ground and shoots out like a geyser, surrounded the opponent. It begins to form pillars and hardens, freezing the ground and causing everything within a 800 foot radius to be instantly frozen and Deidara's arm is frozen within the blast as well as the right-wing of the dragon .
" Shit ! " Deidara shouted as he struggles to break his right arm free from the 1,600 foot diameter , 10,000 foot high pillar of ice.
" Deidara Senpai ! " Tobi shouted as he watches Rukia climb up the ice tower running up it and goes to cut Deidara down who's 5,000 feet above seal level.
" You're dead ! " Rukia shouted as she jumps 100 feet above Deidara .
" Shit ! " Deidara shouted as he can't move as Rukia goes to decapitate Rukia but the second the blade hits Deidara's neck , Rukia reverts back into her sealed sword form and the blade doesn't even starch Deidara's neck.
" Damn it ! I was so close ! " Rukia shouted as the ice pillar shattered with Deidara's right arm gone from the pillar.
" You bitch ! " Deidara shouted as he kicks Rukia down with immense force.
" Rukia ! " Ichigo shouted.
" What incredible power...I can't regain my posture because of the wind pressure ! " Rukia stated.
" Now let's see you block this blast without your Bankai " Deidara shouted as he sends another dragon right at Rukia .
" I can't evade the attack ! " Rukia said to herself as the dragon is about to hurt her.
" I may have no arms but i can still detonate and control my C-2 dragon by flowing Chakra through my feet and firing the missiles at my enemies and i can trigger the explosions with just my voice command, you're shit out of luck Katsu ! " Deidara shouted as he goes to detonate the clay near Rukia.
" The explosion occurs 2,000 feet above Ichigo as he sees the blast wave expand 1,000 feet wide .
" Rukia ! " Ichigo shouted as he starts to cry.
" Relax Ichigo. Ya worry too much ! " said a mysterious voice coming out the smoke holding Rukia in his hands. It turns out to be Shinji and he drops Rukia next to Ichigo.
" Shinji ? " Ichigo asked see Shinji wearing gray slacks with a gray business suit open out exposing his black collar shirt with gray tie.
" What a drag, i really didn't wanna get involved in any Shinigami fights . Whatever , with all this destruction goin' on so close by ,there's no way i could ignore it " Shinji said to Deidara.
" Deidara senpai, that guy kinda sounds like you . Is he your cousin ? " Tobi asked Deidara.
" I never saw that ugly, bucktooth , bastard in my life he's interfering with my art " Deidara answered.
" Hey ,these teeth look nice unlike the ones on your hands! " Shinji stated.
" Oh aren't you a comedian ? Are you their friend ? " Deidara asked Shinji.
" Does it really matter ? " Shinji asked Deidara.
" I guess it doesn't matter, anyone who insults my art is a deadman anyways ! I'M GOING TO BLOW YOU TO BITS ! " Deidara shouted as he goes to attack Shinji.
Meanwhile at the Dangai Precipice World
Orihime stares at Itachi with a frightened look on her face after seeing Itachi massacre his own clan in the world of Tsukuyomi.
" You wish for the same fate to happen to your friends ? If i was cold enough to kill off my entire clan, what thinks i won't kill the people you love ? " Itachi said to Orihime.
" You're a monster ! How can you take delight in killing innocent people let alone your whole clan ? " Orihime asked Itachi.
" It's simple, it's all for that power you see before you . I'm the most powerful shinobi because what i did , similar to hollows , we kill our own for power beyond comparison . How else you think a mere human like me could easily defeat two Captain class Shinigmai ? " Itachi asked Orihime in a cold emotionless tone.
" I never met anyone as cruel as you , you're the definition of pure evil . I can never forgive a monster like you . Are we just playthings to you ? I refuse to have my powers used to aid you Shinobi or Aizen . I know you guys wish to destroy Karakura Town to form the Kings Key " Orihime answered.
" So you guys already know ? Such a shame, i thought we did a good job keeping that a secret . It seems you still maintain your resolve,even with Tsukuyomi . I guess i have to use it to bring up some dark memories of your past Tsukuyomi (月読 Moon Reader) " Itachi chanted as he traps Orihime yet again .

Orihime is within an inverted world where she sees her mother being beaten up by her father. The adult Orihime is watching her early childhood as it happens. Orihime's mother has black hair and is a petite woman while the father is a large man with orange hair and a mustache and goatee.
" Where's my money ? " the father said to the mother in a drunken slur.
" I didn't get enough costumers today at the street corner , please forgive me " the mother answered as she pleads for him not to hit her.
" You need to be taught a lesson on not getting me my beer money " the father replied as he smacks her to the ground and starts to beat up on Orihime's mother.
Orihime as a child rushes downstairs and sees her father hitting his mother.
" Daddy, don't hit mommy ! " baby Orihime said to her father only to be backhanded by her father.
" You're such a worthless daughter! " the father shouted as he goes to beat up and attack his own daughter.
" No stop this, make it stop ! " adult Orihime said to Itachi.
" Surrender yourself to us or i would continue to make you witness the pain of your life " Itachi said to Orihime.
" Never ! " Orihime replied as she remains strong in her resolve.
" Very well then , i'll just have to keep digging deeper then ! " Itachi replied as he goes back a few years later
9 years ago
Orihime is in school as a 7-year-old in the first grade when 5 girls come to bully her.
" Look at that, it's carrot top ! " said one of the girls talking about kid Orihime.
" Hey, i have a good idea, how about we beat the crap of her and take her lunch money ? " one of the girls asked her.
" Please girls , leave me alone. I'll give you the lunch money " kid Orihime answered.
" That's not good enough ! " the girls replied as they grab Orihime and proceed to beat the crap out of her.
" That's enough ! It hurts, why does this hurt me ? " adult Orihime asked Itachi.
" This isn't ordinary Genjutsu. In the world of Tsukuyomi...I control space and time and even the mass of objects , this pain is hurting you both physically and mentally . Still wish to resist me ? " Itachi explained to Orihime.
" A few bullies aren't enough to break me down, i outgrew them and i always hated my parents " Orihime answered.
" Then i would have to dig further to humiliate and hurt you until you lose that resolve ! " Itachi replied as he digs deeper into her past.
4 years ago
Orihime is crossing the street with her brother when a car comes rolling towards her .
" Orihime look out ! " Sora shouted as he charges towards her and knocks her aside as the car hits him and blood splatters everywhere.
" BROTHER ! " kid Orihime screamed as she rushes to aid him.
Hours have passed since Sora was run over and she watches her brother die in front of her eyes within the Kurosaki Clinic . The paramedics came over and picked up his dead, bloody body.
" Brother ! Don't die ! Don't leave me alone ! Brother ! " kid Orihime shouted as she cries for her brother.
" You monster, why torture me like this ? " Orihime asked Itachi.
" If you wish for the pain to stop, you'll come quietly with me " Itachi answered.
" Never ! " Orihime replied.
" Very well then, allow me to continue ! " Itachi responded as he goes to dig deeper into her mind.
" No , stop it ! Stop it ! STOP IT ! " Orihime shouted with an intense anger which sends a massive wave of Reiatsu around her entire body which creates a massive wind wave that engulfs everything and shatters the world of Tsukuyomi.
" Impossible, she broke through my Tsukuyomi ! " Itachi said to himself as he sees Orihime stand up with her energy forming around her.
The Reiatsu shoots up revealing a golden wave of Reiatsu in the sky which then brightens the Dangai . Orihime emerges with a rainbow aura around her with rainbow-colored phoenix wings with an intense look of anger in her eyes which now has glowing blue eyeballs with no pupils . Kenpachi and Byakuya wake up seeing her power and are weighed down by her .
" Is this Orihime's power ? " Byakuya said to himself.
" Her power is incredible , i can't even move " Kenpachi said to himself as he barely manages to move.
" What is this form ? " Itachi asked shocked to see this form.
" I am Gekido Toai Tenshi (激怒と愛天使の Angel of Rage and Love ). The very core of Orihime's powers and the true form of Shun Shun Rikka and the one who would destroy all enemies in my path , i'm born form Orihime's desire to protect her friends and protecting my friends is what i must do. You chose the wrong person to hurt. You killed innocent people for the sake of power and now you seek to destroy my friends and my home. I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU " Oirhime said to the root members now sounding much more like a woman in her 30's than the Orihime we all know as she punches one of them in half and then kicks the other one in half.
" What is this power of hers ? " Itachi said to himself.
" Take this ! " Orihime shouted as she comes at Itachi.
" Think you can beat me ? I already know the true extent of your powers " Itachi said to Orihime as he goes to block her punch but the punch snaps his blade in half with ease.
" Take this Koten Zanshun (孤天斬盾, Solitary Sacred Cutting Shield) " Angel Orihime chanted as she sends a sharp blast of energy at Itachi grazing his shoulder.
" ARRGH ! " Itachi shouted as he holds onto his shoulder.
" Gekido what are you doing? " Orihime asked her angel self.
" I'm lending you my power to fight this man " Angel Orihime answered.
" I see, i thought you couldn't lend me your powers for a while " Orihime stated.
" A while has passed Orihime , are you prepared to fight this man together ? " Gekido questioned the young teen.
" Normally i don't like killing people, but he's pure evil. He's going to let my town burn down and can never forgive him " Orihime replied .
Meanwhile at the Kitakawase / Yumisawa district border
Kakuzu overpowers Hitsugaya and sends him flying into the air . Hitsugaya then decides to take to the air and fly 5,000 feet high and goes to launch attacks at Kakuzu from the air.
" Damn , he's fast and powerful however i still have the edge in the air . There's no way he can catch me so easily " Hitsugaya said to himself only to see Kakuzu behind him uses his threads to form wings.
" You think being in the air would help you ? " Kakuzu asked the Captain as he kicks Hitsugaya into the ground with immense force . Hitsugaya lands into a building at ground level.
" Damn it, he can fly ? " Hitsugaya said to himself only to see Kakuzu in front of himself.
" You're no fun to toy with kid ! " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya as he kicks Hitsugaya through 3 buildings.
" ARRRGH ! " Hitsugaya shouted as he gets back up from the kick.
" Try dodging this ! " Kakuzu shouted as he sends 8 tentacles extending 330 feet long to attack Hitsugaya but the white-haired Captain dodges the attacks.
" Hiryūseki (氷竜堰 Ice Dragon Barrage ) " Hitsugaya chanted as he surrounds Kakuzu with 50 ice dragons within a 1,200 foot radius with all of them moving 360º around Kakuzu and all attack him at once.
" That won't work ! " Kakuzu replied as he releases Chakra around his body to negate the attack. Kakuzu then sees more water vapor around him.
" I got you now ! Guncho Tsurara Tsuzuri Raiden " Hitsugaya chanted as he shoots 150 electrified kunai at Kakuzu but the attack fails to pierce him " What ? "
" My Iron Skin has become so tough that not even your lightning charged ice strikes would work " Kakuzu replied as he stands unfazed.
Kakuzu then appears behind Hitsugaya using Shunshin with a roundhouse kick but the sliver haired captain 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 Kakuzu neck's but the blade fails to cut him. Kakuzu sends to tentacles to attack Hitsugaya and crush him but it's another ice clone.
" Tsuzuri Raiden Ryūsenka " Hitsugaya chanted as he goes to stab Kakuzu from behind but the strike fails to pierce his Iron skin.
" I told you your attack can't hurt me ! " Kakuzu stated as he has the lighting mask appear on his back and fire a blast towards Hitsugaya but Hitsugaya uses Shunpo to escape.
Kakuzu fires 3 water blasts at Hitsugaya but the sliver haired captain dodges the shots as the blasts levels 3 buildings with ease . Hitsugaya jumps on top of a 5 story building only for Kakuzu to leap 500 feet in the air and shoot 3 fireballs at Hitsugaya but the captain dodges the attack . Kakuzu then extends his hand out to try grabbing Hitsugaya but Hitsugaya jumps over the attack,
" I can't fend off his assault, at this rate... " Hitsugaya said to himself only to be grabbed by Kakuzu's left arm .
" I got you now ! " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya as he goes to rip him apart with his tentacles.
" Hadō #31. Shakkahō (赤火砲, Red Fire Cannon) " Hitsugaya chanted as he blasts Kakuzu in the face .
" You little tart ! " Kakuzu shouted at Hitsugaya as the Captain gets his distance.
" I need to use it now , i'm far enough from Momo and friends and the power of my Bankai isn't enough to cut him anymore " Hitsugaya said to himself as he dodges more blasts from Kakuzu.
" I'm getting tired chasing you around kid ! " Kakuzu said to Hitsugaya as he appears behind him moving toward Hitsugaya.
" Tensō Jūrin (天相従臨, Subjugation Of The Heavens) " Hitsugaya chanted as he holds his sword and gathers a massive Reiatsu around him as his wings regenerate. The sky turns pitch black and he flies up with a blue aura around his body . Hitsugaya causes a massive snowstorm from the release of his Reiatsu.
" I see, you're increasing your strength to fight your own with me, how clever and how foolish. Even increasing your power won't help you at this point " Kakuzu stated as he charges at Hitsugaya .
Hitsugaya and Kakuzu clash attacks with each other. Kakuzu dodges a series of 5 ice dragon strikes from Hitsugaya's Bankai enhanced with Tsuzuri Raiden. The entire neighborhood is buried under 5 feet of snow and ice . Kakuzu and Hitsugaya clash strikes together, creating a 100 foot shockwave with each clashing blow. Kakuzu comes at Hitsugaya's face with a lunging blow but Hitsugaya manages to use Shunpo to escape. Everything around them is engulfed in a blizzard.
" Tsuzuri Raiden Ryūsenka " Hitsugaya chanted as he goes to stab Kakuzu.
" I told you that won't ... " Kakuzu stated only for his right arm to be pierced by the sword.
" Pierce you , Hyōrinmaru is the strongest of all ice-element Zanpakutō in Soul Society, Tensō Jūrin (天相従臨, Subjugation Of The Heavens) increases my power using the water vapor in the air " Hitsugaya explained to Kakuzu .
" I see, not bad however it's not enough ! " Kakuzu replied as he sends out tendrils.
" Hadō #63. Raikōhō (雷吼炮, Thunder Roar Sear ) " Hitsugaya countered as he cancels out the lightning blast with his Kidō.
" You increased your power huh ? Allow me to use my power to crush you then " Kakuzu replied as Kakuzu charges up a water blast and fire it at Hitsugaya.
" Fool, water can't harm me ! " Hitsugaya stated as he goes to absorb water but Kakuzu shoots a Lightning blasts at Hitsugaya but the Captain dodges the blast.
" Not bad but try dodging this blast ! " Kakuzu replied as he does Dog → Rat → Ram and Ox handsigns
" This isn't good ! " Hitsugaya said to himself.
" Sasuyō Honryūsāji ( 刺すよう奔流サージ· Piercing Torrent Surge ) " Kakuzu chanted as he fires a powerful blast of water and lightning at the young Captain.
" It's moving too fast to dodge , i must stop it 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 to clash with Kakuzu's attack.
" That isn't going to work ! " Kakuzu stated as his blast rips through Hitsugaya's ice blast and come at the Captain.
" Shit ! Ice attacks aren't enough to stop a Lightning-Water combination ? " Hitsugaya stated as the blast hits hit " ARRGH ! "
" You're dead Captain ! Take this ! " Kakuzu shouted as he unleashes the blast creating a massive explosion leveling everything within a 3,500 foot radius.
Meanwhile at the Yumisawa district
Kukaku and her team watch the explosion send a wave of dust and debris towards them causing them to block the attack .
" What the hell was that attack ? " Kukaku shouted as she struggles to block her eyes from the dust and debris cloud .
" It looks like it came from Hitsugaya ! " Renji answered.
" What an immense explosion ! " Chad stated.
" It's a good thing we aren't fighting there ! " Izuru replied.
" Little Toshiro, please tell me you're doing fine ! " Momo said to herself as she covers her eyes.
" Looks like Kakuzu managed to finish his fight with that Captain " Sasori said to himself as he stands unfazed by the dust cloud.
Meanwhile at Karakura High School
Rangiku sees the explosion from a close distance with tremors being felt .
" Captain Hitsugaya is having trouble fighting out there " Rangiku said to herself.
" Aren't you going to continue telling me about Ichigo ? Tatsuki asked Rangiku.
"Okay, very well then ! " Rangiku answered.
Meanwhile Tessai is being healed by Hachigen
" The damage you suffer was great , it was great ! " Hachigen said to his former Captain.
" Indeed, those black flames are hot enough to rival Ryujin Jakka ! " Tessai replied.
" It'll take a while to heal that arm ! " Hachigen stated.
" Take your time, it must not be easy doing all this ! " Tessai replied.
Meanwhile at the Yumisawa district
Sasori looks at his opponents who are worn down fighting him. Kukaku , Chad, Izuru , Momo and Renji are all worn out while Sasori hasn't shown any signs of fatigue .
" Damn it , he's not even tired out ! " Renji said to his team as they stand worn out from there fight.
" Yet we been exhausted from everything he's been throwing at us " Izuru said to the team .
" We're done for ! " Kukaku stated.
" We can't give up yet! " Chad replied as they all stand back up but Sasori has then surrounded with Iron Sand and they feel sick and unable to move.
" What the hell ? " Renji asked them.
" You all been hit by my poison ! " Sasori answered.
" But how ? We didn't get hit at all ! " Renji asked Sasori.
" I don't even need to cut you to poison you, the very air you breathe contained enough Iron Sand particles to poison your bloodstream " Sasori explained to the two.
" Damn it ! " Izuru replied.
" You see, i didn't kill a Kage and take his powers for myself with merely brute force. He was far beyond my strength level, hell i used to be as weak as you Vice Captains until i developed this radical poison that turns Chakra into a deadly poison and developed many poisons from it. Even the weakest weapon in my arsenal is laced with enough poison to kill anything that moves but the deadliest poisons are the ones that are airborne. Not even the Hierro of an Espada could protect against airborne poisons, no amount of Reiatsu can . I can even kill your Captain Commander with enough of this poison however i think he's too tough for me in a direct fight. Still it should be easier once i steal all your Zanpakutōs and combine your powers with my own being " Sasori explained to the team.
" Damn it ! " Renji shouted .
" Any last words before i kill you all ? " Sasori mocked them as stand with an arrogant smile.
" Damn you ! " Kukaku shouted.
" Come to think about, one person in your team is missing. I remember now, that little girl with the bun. She was a cute one, i guess she ran away, shows how much of a coward she was but then again she was smart not to tangle with the Akatsuki Satetsu Kaihō (砂鉄界法 Iron Sand: Needle Sphere) " Sasori shouted as he uses Iron Sand to create a gigantic sphere of branching Iron Sand spreads in spikes that branch off irregularly, making it almost impossible for the team to escape.
But all of a sudden before any of the branches hit the injured Shinigami and Chad , Sasori's attack is stopped in midair and he can't move his hands or the puppet . The sand then drops to the ground and the attack is negated entirely .
" I didn't run away, i was looking for your weakness ! " Momo said to Sasori holding onto his Chakra string while attaching them to her orange Kidō net and then binds his hands with the Kidō net before moving out the way . Sasori then sees yellow arm braces on his arms.
" What the hell did you do ? " Sasori asked Momo.
" Your fingers are always moving during your attacks . You manipulate the puppet by those Chakra strings attached to his fingers, so it makes sense that i take out those fingers. I used Bakudō # 26. Kyokko (曲光Curved Light ) to hide myself from sight, by bending light. The spell has the ability to totally hide the presence and Reiatsu and i use that opportunity to use Hadō # 12 . Fushibi (伏火 Ambush Flame) to bind your Chakra strings together . To ensure you can't break out, i used Bakudō # 49. Āmushīru Chūkakko( アームシール中かっこ Sealing Arm Braces) to suppress Chakra in your arms and combine it with Bakudō # 47. Mahikōnawa ( 麻痺鋼縄 Paralysis Steel Ropes ) to reinforce the restrains. Now you can't move that puppet of yours " Momo explained to Sasori.
" You bitch ! " Sasori stated.
" Captain Aizen taught me well . He always told me to watch the enemy movements closely , he told me to watch them before the attack, during the attack and after the attack ! People always have a dominant arm and leg, as well as individual ticks and habits. When combined, that reveals their patterns in their movement. When a Shinigmai reaches the level of a Captain or Lieutenant , they train in order to lessen those habits, so the enemy can't read their movements, but... They can't be eliminated completely. At times you should be able to use them and see the enemy's weakspots. Find them as quickly as possible ! It'll improve your ability to dodge their attacks " Momo explained to Sasori.
" I almost forgot, you're the little tart Aizen told me about . I didn't think an insect like you would be this skilled " Sasori stated.
" You got overconfident in your abilities, you severely underestimated us ! " Momo replied.
" Way to go Momo, now we have him where we want him ! " Izuru said to his friend.
" Boy she's one cunning girl ! " Kukaku said to the young Vice Captain.
" That's Momo to you, never underestimate her ! " Renji stated.
" She's very skilled ! " Chad replied.
" I find it amusing that you guys caught me off-guard and are celebrating victory so soon . You guys are poisoned and can't move and there's no way that Inoue girl could heal you now " Sasori stated.
" We don't need her ! " Izuru replied as he takes out a needle and stabs himself in the arm to cure the poison.
" What the hell ? " Sasori shouted.
" Everyone take this ! " Izuru stated as he throws everyone needles.
" Fine ! " Kukaku replied as she injects the needle in her arm .
" What are these ? " Chad asked Izuru.
" A small amount of Orihime's Reiatsu i collect while she was healing me, this should override the poison " Izuru explained to the team.
" Orihime, you truly are awesome ! " Renji replied .
" You bastards, you think this is over ? I can still control my puppet even when it can't move " Sasori said to the team as the Third Kazekage puppet opens up it's mouth and charges up a blast of electricity charged up with Iron Sand .
" What's that ? " Momo asked the puppetmaster.
" I'm using my Chakra to charge up my Iron Sand with static electricity to form a concentrated blast of Iron Sand. This would enough to kill you and your whole group " Sasori explained to the group.
" This is bad ! " Renji shouted.
" We just need to fight back ! " Kukaku stated as she charges up her Shikai.
" We need to hit him before he hit us ! " Izuru replied.
Momo jumps back to the group to charge up her own attack . Kukaku drops her massive hammer and takes out a shoulder mounted cannon and charges Reiatsu in her canon , Chad charges up energy from his right hand creating a massive wave of Reiatsu, Izuru charges up blue spiritual energy behind his hands like a Kamehameha wave and Renji charges up red spiritual energy within Hiho Zabimaru's mouth.
" Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the abyss of conflagration, cleanse thay evil that stands in the way " Momo chanted as she charges up an orange-red Reiatsu in her hands.
" Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens " Izuru chanted as he charges up his attack.
" El Directo (Spanish for The Direct) " Chad chanted as he fires another blast of energy.
" Hadō #73. Sōren Sōkatsui (双漣蒼火墜, Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down) " Izuru chanted as he fires a massive blue fireball from both hands.
" Hadō # 86. Gōkaryūkajikanon ( 業火龍の火事のカノン。 Hellfire Dragon Blaze Canon) " Momo chanted as she fires a massive fire blast from her hands which forms into a massive 30 foot flaming Chinese dragon.
" Hikotsu Taihō (狒骨大砲, Baboon Bone Cannon) " Renji chanted as he fires a massive beam of energy.
" Kakaku Hō : Reisenkō(花鶴砲, 霊穿孔 Flower Crane Cannon, Spirit Piercer) " Kukaku chanted as she fires a massive blast from her cannon.
" Satetsu: Ryūshijisei Shōkyaku (砂鉄 ,粒子磁性焼却 Iron Sand : Particle Magnetic Incineration ) " Sasori chanted as he fires a lightning charged blast of Iron sand like an energy wave to clash with the five different blasts despite being binded down by the Kidō Momo placed on him.
The blast wave clashes with each other for a full minute until the blasts cancel each other of the smoke , Chad comes out with his left hand out to attack the Third Kazekage puppet.
" Take this ! " Chad shouted as he easily punches through the Third Kazekage's puppet shattering it to bits .
" What the hell ? He effortlessly shattered my Third Kazekage and still has momentum to strike me " Sasori shouted shocked to see his puppet shattered to bits and Chad coming towards him .
" La Muerte ( Spanish for The Death ) " Chad chanted as he goes to punch Sasori.
" Kikō Junbū (機光盾封 Mechanic Light Shield Seal) " Sasori chanted as he surrounds himself with a barrier trying to hold back Chad's strike.
" This barrier's tough ! " Chad said to himself as he struggles to break the barrier .
" My barrier could withstand even a Captain's Bankai. There's no way a non Shinobi human could ever pierce this with their bare hands " Sasori stated only to see his barrier cracking.
" ARRGHW! " Chad shouted as he uses all his Reiatsu to shatter the barrier and send Sasori flying from the force while Chad falls to the ground.
" Damn that human and his punch, he almost had me ! " Sasori said to himself as he struggles to regain his footing only to see Izuru in midair.
" Time to test my new power Kaigogunshū ( 悔悟群衆 Repentance Crowd ) " Izuru chanted as he shatters his Shikai into 10 pieces and each of them hitting Sasori 2 times but the blades do no damage to a binded Sasori.
" Ha, was that the best you can do ? Even with my arms binded and my body limited to Chakra, i still didn't need to block those blows " Sasori taunted.
" Did you forget my ability already ? I hit your body 2 times with each fragment and there were 10 sword fragments. Now you weigh 13,631,488 lbs , far too heavy to move " Izuru explained to Sasori as he falls to the ground.
" Damn it i can't move ! " Sasori shouted.
" Now time for me to do finishing blow ! " Kukaku shouted as she swings around her hammer charging up Reiatsu.
" I got to escape ! " Sasori said to himself.
" I got you now ! Rakuraiamega Shimetsuke ( 落雷雨が締め付け Bolting Lightning Rain ) " Kukaku chanted as she fires a massive wave of Lightning at Sasori .
" Damn it ! " Sasori shouted as he sees the blast hit him and the explosion levels everything within a 1,000 foot radius.
Back at the Minamikawwase district
Deidara shoots 3 bombs at Shinji with his C-3 dragon but Shinji dodges the blasts.
" Still think you can dodge my attacks ? Try dodging these " Deidara shouted as he sends a homing dragon missile at Shinji but Shinji jumps to the ground and the explosion occurs leveling everything within a 1,000 foot radius but Shinji escaped the blast .
" If ya keep blowing this up around here when i dodge. I might quite dodgin' ! " Shinji said to Deidara in a nonchalant tone.
" Shut your mouth, i'll blow you up to bits you asshole ! " Deidara replied as he sends another bomb at Shinji.
" Man, you're really are the hotheaded type ! " Shinji responded as he puts his hand over his face.
The explosion occurs in the air creating a massive shockwave . The smoke clears up to reveal his Hollow Mask which strongly resembles a pharaoh's mask, with a short, flowing hood hanging down the back of his neck. When donning his Hollow mask, Shinji's sclera turn completely black and his irises become grey. In a spilt second , Shinji pushes back the C-2 dragon with a single swing of his sword .
" What are you ? " Deidara shouted as he regains footing.
" Does that really matter ? " Shinji answered.
" Fuck you, Take this ! " Deidara shouted as he goes to attack Shinji with 20 clay dragon blasts but Shinji uses Hadō# 11 without chanting to enhance his sword strikes and cut his bombs to pieces, stopping them before Deidara could detonate them.
" Come on, is that all you got ? " Shinji asked Deidara.
" Fuck you ! I'm blowing you to bits C-3 ! " Deidara shouted as he shoots another C-3 blast aimed at Shinji while he's in the air .
" What the hell ! " Shinji asked.
" DIE ! Katsu ! " Deidara shouted as he detonates it, releasing another atomic bomb blast blowing up everything within the air within a 1 mile radius.
" Shinji ! " Ichigo shouted as him and Rukia watch from below ducking down to avoid the blast wave.
" Damn, what power ! " Rukia replied as they see the blast clear up to see Shinji unharmed with a white barrier protecting him from the blast.
" Not a bad blast , you forced me to use Danku and even then you almost shattered the barrier however that wasn't enough to defeat me " Shinji said to Deidara.
" So you're that carrot top's friend ? " Deidara shouted .
" Don't make me keep repeatin' myself . It doesn't matter who i am " Shinji replied as he uses a high-speed slash to effortlessly cut through Deidara's C-2 's left wing with just his sealed sword.
" Impossible, he cut my C-2 wing without even releasing his Zanpakutō. Carrot top needed both his Hollow Mask and Bankai just to cut through C-2 but he did it with just his Hollow Mask and sealed Zanpakutō. His spiritual pressure is monstrously high, could he be on the level of a Tailed Beast ? " Deidara asked himself as he falls down to the ground.
" Deidara senpai ! " Tobi shouted as he watches Shinji gather energy in a horizontal line at his fist.
" You're strong, that's why i'm not holdin' back on you Shinobi " Shinji said to a falling Deidara.
" Damn it, he's charging a Cero. I can't escape ! " Deidara said to himself as he sees Shinji fire his Cero.
" Goodbye Shinobi ! " Shinji chanted as he fires the crimson energy blast hitting the Shinobi and causing a massive explosion within the air. The explosion knocks down the Shinobi into the ground with his C-2 dragon vaporized crashing with violent force .
" DEIDARA SENPAI! " Tobi shouted as he screams in agony thinking his master died.
Meanwhile at the Gakuchchou district
Hidan struggles to get back up from all the damage Ryūken has done to him. Ryūken looks bored while Uryū shockwave looks shocked.
" That was amazing father ! " Uryū said to Ryūken.
" That's the third time you said that son ! " Ryūken replied.
" That was some amazing techniques you taught me, are there anymore you like to teach me ? " Uryū asked Ryūken.
" Nah, i think i'm done teaching you for today, i don't need to teach you that much . Some techniques i know are too advance for your current state , you need more training before you can use them " Ryūken answered as he takes out his sliver bow and holds it with both hands charging up a bow.
" You son of a bitch ! " Hidan shouted as he rushes towards Ryūken.
" I have no further use for you ! " Ryūken coldly replied as he nonchalantly fires a charged around through Hidan's neck and it slices through his neck and decapitates the Akatsuki member.
" You did it, you killed that freak ! " Uryū said to his father.
" It was nothing, this guy must of had some advance technique that made kills against him impossible but there's not a single being that can survive a decapitation " Ryūken said to his son as he puts away his arrow and stands with his son.
Meanwhile at the Kitakawase / Yumisawa district border
Kakuzu stands right next to Hitsugaya who is brutally injured with 3rd degree burns on his body . Kakuzu then senses Hidan being defeated. Hitsugaya lies within a 298 foot diameter,81 feet crater with the explosion producing 2.4 Kilotons of TNT which vaporized 69,600 meters ^3 of rock from the blast.
" That moron , he let himself get defeated . That's what happens when you underestimate your opponent " Kakuzu said to himself as he goes grab Hitsugaya .
" Shit ! " Hitsugaya shouted.
" Time to take your heart !" Kakuzu stated as he stabs his hand through Hitsugaya and rip out his heart and goes to eat it but the body explodes into ice and Kakuzu is frozen.
" Did you think i was using these attacks to restrict your range and take away your movement ? " Hitsugaya asked Kakuzu as he emerges from the smoke .
" How did you ? " Kakuzu asked as snow starts to fall on his head.
" I used ice based attacks to force you to destroy them . The ice you destroyed turned into powder snow and now fusing it with the water vapor in the air especially the water vapor from that Akatsuki with the Shark Skin sword's Tidal Wave Jutsu. That last clone was the final set up to this attack " Hitsugaya explained to Kakuzu as he sees Hitsugaya raising his spiritual power.
" This is bad ! " Kakuzu said to himself as he sees the snow fall down.
" Hyōten Hyakkasō (氷天百華葬, Frozen Heaven Hundred Flower Funeral) " Hitsugaya shouted 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 onto Kakuzu .
" What's this ? " Kakuzu asked himself as he tries to escape but before Kakuzu could react, his right hand is frozen with a flower shaped icicle on his right hand. Kakuzu leaps 300 feet in the where his left shoulder and right leg are frozen .
" Hyōten Hyakkasō (氷天百華葬, Frozen Heaven Hundred Flower Funeral). Anything that comes in contact with that snow instantly freezes into an 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.
" Crap ! " Kakuzu shouted as he freezes within a massive a massive 1 mile high 500 foot diameter cluster of ice covering the entire battlefield is surrounded with snow. The energy within the ice created by Hitsugaya produced the yield 20.1 kilotons of TNT, the equivalent of the Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Meanwhile at the Yumisawa district
Momo and Kukaku see a mile high tower of ice from a close distance. Snow starts to fall within the area.
" What a massive force of Reiatsu, he created such a huge ice tower " Kukaku said shocked to see this.
" That's my Toshiro ! " Momo replied.
" What an insane amount of ice he unleash ! " Izuru stated as he struggles to withstand the force winds blowing ice and snow at them.
" It's a good thing we're not his enemy ! " Renji replied.
Meanwhile at Downtown Karakura Town
Kisame sees the water around him starting to freeze from the force winds.
" I didn't know that he could wield that much destructive power with his Bankai . Not even Kakuzu's Iron Skin Jutsu could withstand an assault from that magnitude . If Kakuzu isn't thawed out in 5 minutes, then he'll die. 5 hearts or not, not even Kakuzu could survive an attack of that level " Kisame said to himself as he uses his Chakra to melt the ice on his water wave.
Meanwhile at Karakura High School
Rangiku and friends sees a massive blast of ice pass through the barrier.
" Boy it suddenly got cold ! " Keigo stated as he holds onto his arms.
" Hitsugaya did it ! He won his battle ! " Ikkaku replied.
" I thought he was a goner but with an attack of 1,200,000 RYK vs the enemies 300,000 RYK, there's no way the enemy survived Hitsugaya's strongest attack " Yumichika explained to the group.
" What are you guys talking about ? What is this RYK business ? " Tatsuki asked.
" That's the measure of Reiatsu and Reiryoku in a person . An average human has 1 RYK , those are normal humans who can't see us . You guys are a rare exception to the rule , your RYK are below 10 RYK , the amount needed to fight an unseated Shinigmai or an average Hollow " Rangiku replied.
" 1,200,000 RYK ? You mean those monsters fighting outside are the equivalent of an entire army fighting ? " Mizuho asked Rangiku.
" That's right. Every spiritual being and every Human has a certain amount of Reiryoku. If this amount is higher than a certain degree, it grants the person superhuman abilities. Those with such an above-average level of Spiritual Energy are very rare among living humans. It seems to be that the most basic ability that humans with a higher level of Reiryoku have is the ability to see ghosts: Pluses, Shinigami and Hollow alike . One would need at least 2 RYK to begin to see spirits " Rangiku explained to the group.
" Amazing, how could this even be possibly ? Just how strong are you ? " Tatsuki asked.
" My power at most would be around 8,000 RYK with my strongest attack . I can't even begin to compare my powers to my Captain " Rangiku answered.
" What is my RYK ? " Keigo asked Rangiku.
" We'll find out right now ! " Rangiku answered as she uses her Denreishinki "2 RYK "
" 2 RYK, that means i'm twice as powerful as a normal human " Keigo cheerfully stated.
" I find that hard to believe , what about me ? " Mizuiro asked Rangiku.
" 2.5 RYK " Rangiku answered.
" Hey, that's not fair, how am i weaker than Mizuiro ? " Keigo asked shocked to see how weak he is.
" What about me ? " Chizuru asked Rangiku.
" 2.2 RYK " Rangiku answered.
" Ah man, i'm even weaker than Chizuru ! " Keigo shouted.
" What about me ? " Mizuiro asked.
" 2.3 RYK " Rangiku answered.
" And me ? " Tatsuki asked.
" My lord, you have 8 RYK . You're pretty powerful for a human " Rangiku stated.
" Man, i knew you were a monster but this is insane. You have the strength of 8 men " Keigo shouted.
" Well i do train at top physical peak of my strength Tatsuki is considered the second strongest girl in Japan of her age group. She managed to come second in a tournament with a broken arm " Tatsuki explained to Rangiku.
" What about me ? " Don Kanoji asked her.
" 10 RYK , you're basically the strongest human here aside from the Shinobi " Rangiku answered.
" Well there's a reason why i'm the # 1 medium in the world ! " Don Kanoji replied.
Meanwhile at the Dangai Precipice World
Itachi struggles to dodge Orihime's punches . Angel Orihime charges right at Itachi but the raven haired Shinigmai barely dodges her blow.
" Amazing, her speed and strength drastically increased to the point i have a tough time fighting her " Itachi said to himself as he barely evades Angel Orihime's strike.
" You think you can dodge my strikes ? " Angel Orihime shouted as she punches Itachi in the stomach but he used Susanoo's rib cage to block the blow but the ribcage shattered blocking the blow.
" Amazing, she effortlessly shattered Susanoo with a single punch. I guess i have no choice but to fight her seriously " Itachi said to himself as he gains his distance.
" Time to die ! " Angel Orihime shouted as she goes to attack him .
" Amaterasu : Rising Sun " Itachi chanted as he shoots a concentrated jet of black flames toward Angel Orihime but she deflects it and negates it with her bare hand " Impossible, she easily deflected a full power Amaterasu barehanded " Itachi said to himself as he see Orihime charging up her attack.
" Time to end this ! " Angel Orihime shouted as she gets into her prayer position while a ray of light appears around her and a rainbow-colored ball of energy glows in her hands .
" This isn't good ! " Itachi said to himself as he sees her immense power.
" Shun Shun Rikka : Kūkan Hōkai (盾舜六花, 空間的崩壊 Six Flowers of the Hibiscus Shield: Spatial Disintegration) " Angel Orihime chanted as she fires a flower shaped rainbow beam of energy towards Itachi.
The blast creates a wave causing the whole Dangai to light up and causing Kenpachi and Byakuya to be overwhelmed by Orihime's power.
" What an immense power ! " Byakuya said to himself.
" She's a monster !" Kenpachi stated as he takes cover from the blast wave.
The blast cloud clears up to reveal Itachi is still alive from the explosion but now protected by a gigantic, spiritual humanoid being that surrounds and protects its left hand it wields the Yata Mirror as a shield. In its right hand it wields the Sword of Totsuka. The Yata Mirror is cracked and nearly shattered from the force of the blast .
" I must admit, your power is immense. You almost shattered the Yata Mirror, i can see why our leader seeks your power so much " Itachi said to Angel Orihime.
" You survived that one but let's see you survive this " Angel Orihime stated as she gets into her prayer position .
" I won't let you Sakegari Longsword (酒刈太刀Sake Cutter Longsword ) " Itachi chanted as he uses his sword to swing and chip at Orihime's wings . The powers are absorbed from Orihime and she starts to revert back to normal.
" What's going on here ? What's happening to me ? " Angel Orihime asked.
" I'm sealing you away from Orihime. Your power can be a threat to the Akatsuki Espada alliance . My Sakegari Longsword (酒刈太刀Sake Cutter Longsword ) is an ethereal weapon with an enchanted blade capable of sealing anyone it pierces. Victims of the sword are trapped in a genjutsu-like "world of drunken dreams" for all eternity " Itachi explained to Angel Orihime as she's drained of her powers.
" Gekido ! " Orihime shouted as she watches her spiritual angel go away from her.
" Damn it , I failed you Orihime ! " Gekido replied as she disappears into the sake jar.
Itachi then dispels his Susanoo and falls to the ground coughing up blood from the excessive stress to his body. Itachi drinks the medicine to prevent dying.
" You're far more powerful than i thought , i sealed most of the powers from you . The only thing you can do now is heal " Itachi said to Orihime.
" I can 't believe it, what are you ? " Orihime asked Itachi.
" I must admit , your power was even greater than my own and you could've killed me with that last attack however you're still too young and naïve to control that power well enough. That was your undoing Orihime " Itachi said to her as she drops to her knees in despair while he's coughing up blood.
" Just what is this guy ? He defeated Orihime's angel form in one attack . That same power was enough to fight a fully Hollowfied Ichigo on equal footing and defeat Ichigo . Could he be on the same level as the Head Captain ? " Byakuya asked himself as he stares at Itachi.
" What am i dealing with ? Those eyes, they have no emotion in them. It's as if i'm staring death itself in the face . How could any human lack that much of a soul ? " Kenpachi said to himself as he stares with terror at Itachi's power.
" Resistance is futile , i promise the safety of your friends and comrades if you come quietly with us . If you refuse, then we'll not only kill your friends but send all the people back in Karakura Town and kill them too " Itachi said to Orihime.
" There's nothing i can do to save them. This guy stopped all of my offensive abilities and the last thing he showed me was Ichigo and company in trouble . I guess i have no choice but to surrender so no more people get hurt from battle " Orihime said to herself.
" So what would it be ? " Itachi asked Orihime.
" Fine, i'll come quietly but promise that you'll leave my friends alone and leave Karakura Town " Orihime answered.
" Very well then , i'll keep my word . I need a minute though, you really pushed me to my limit " Itachi stated while he's worn out.
" It's our chance, at his weakened state i could put an end to him " Byakuya said to himself as he gets back up to draw his sword only for Itachi to catch it before Byakuya dropped it .
" I wouldn't try that if i were you, even in my weakened state i can still kill you without blinking " Itachi said to Byakuya with blood coming out of his eye.
" Impossible, he caught my sword so easily! " Byakuya said to himself as he watches Itachi shatter it to bits. Itachi then punches Byakuya in the stomach knocking him out.
" That would prevent you from doing anything reckless ! " Itachi said to Byakuya as he walks away and then steps on Kenpachi's right arm.
" ARRGGH! " Kenpachi screamed in pain Itachi breaks his arm with just a light step.
" Eyepatch seal or not, you're still too weak " Itachi said to Kenpachi as he breaks his Zanpakutō with his foot . Itachi then lightly kicks Kenpachi in the head knocking him out.
" Why did you attack them ? They were still down " Orihime asked.
" It's to ensure they don't do anything stupid " Itachi answered " I wonder how the clone is doing ? "
Meanwhile at East Karakura Town
The entire neighborhood was leveled in the explosions that occurred that it's become unrecognizable . The fake Itachi stands 1 mile east of the ruins of Kisuke's shop .
" Looks like everything has been cleared up. Kisuke Urahara is ... " Fake Itachi said to himself only to be caught in a blood-red net.
" Looks like i'm still alive ! " Kisuke said to Itachi with missing his left arm and 2nd degree burns on his chest.
" What the ? How did you survive my full power Amaterasu ? " Itachi asked Kisuke.
" That was too close for comfort . I had to really do some heavy thinking to escape that jutsu of yours . I had to cut off my own arm and then use Bakudō # 76 Onmitsufū (隠密風Stealth Wind ) to escape the explosion in just a second before your blasts went off. You destroyed my Shikai with that attack though so i needed a few minutes to recover from that attack so i used Bakudō # 26. Kyokko (曲光Curved Light ) to hide myself from sight and then wanted until you were off guard to catch you here and now you're dead " Kisuke explained to Itachi.
" I see, you got me good. I'm at my limit ! " Itachi replied as he coughs up blood.
" Sorry but it's just too bad, you shouldn't have wasted so much Reiatsu with those black flames . Game over ! Hiasobi, Benihime, Juzutsunagi(火遊 紅姫 数珠繋,Fire-Playing, Crimson Princess, Beaded Mesh) " Kisuke chanted as he stabs the net generated by Shibari with the tip of Benihime creating orbs of fire along the outside length of the net, which explode like linked land-mines in a domino formation leading towards Itachi.
" You really are strong Kisuke ! " Fake Itachi said to Kisuke as he smiled at Kisuke as he burns alive.
" Why is he smiling ? Something isn't right here ! " Kisuke said to himself as he jumps out the way and uses Shunpo to escape.
The attack detonates releasing a large and devastating fiery explosion destroying everything within a 2 mile radius .
Meanwhile at Karakura High School
Rangiku and her friends feel a massive shockwave coming to the barrier which causes massive shaking within the area.
" Everybody take cover ! " Jinta stated as he feels the barrier shake from the forcewave.
" Okay ! " everyone replied as they find the few remaining desk in the destroyed room to take cover from chunks of falling ceiling parts from the tremor as everything shakes within the school despite being within the barrier .
" When is this chaos going to end ? " Tatsuki asked the team.
" It seems like it's dying down a bit , looks like the Shinigmai are winning their fights " Jinta stated.
" Thank goodness ! " Keigo replied.
Meanwhile at Downtown Karakura Town
Yoruichi wakes up underwater with serious injuries to her arms and legs with blood coming of them. Kisame sees a massive
" Damn, those blasts nearly killed me , i have no choice but to do this ! " Yoruichi said to herself as she puts her hands together and cross them with white Reiatsu leaking out of her body in her Shikai state.
" Looks like that clone of Itachi's has reached his limit. I told him not to use too much Chakra , still that Kisuke is one scary dude to take us on with Shikai even when we're using 30% power. It would be interesting to see his Bankai, too bad this woman kick the bucket before i... " Kisame to himself only to feel rumbling within the water.
" Shunkō ( 瞬閧,Flash Cry ) " Yoruichi chanted as she releases a white wave of energy which destroys her jacket and creates a rumbling within the water .
" Where's all this rumbling coming from ? " Kisame asked himself as he feels tremors within the ground.
" Time to get serious ! " Yoruichi shouted as she causes water to rise up from the ground.
" What the hell ? " Kisame shouted as water shoots up in his face and water forms a massive vortex from were Yoruichi is standing.
The powerful waves of Reiatsu create a massive 2,000 foot diameter, 100 foot deep vortex with the crater 200 foot deep below sea level .
" Time to get some payback ! " Yoruichi shouted as she dashes at 2,970, 000 ft/sec (2,025,000 MPH) catching Kisame off-guard and appearing in front of his face.
" Huh ? " Kisame said shocked to see Yoruichi above and tries to swing his sword .
" Too slow ! " Yoruichi stated as she moved at Yoruichi moved so fast that Kisame was slashed across the chest before he can even notice the attack.
" Damn it ! " Kisame shouted as he struggles to stand up from this slash.
" Take this ! " Yoruichi shouted back as she punches the blue skinned Akatsuki in the face before he can counterattack.
" ARRGH ! " Kisame shouted as he falls to the ground again.
" Am i moving too slow for you ? Allow me to move faster ! " Yoruichi said to Kisame as she blitzes him in speed and in a split second Yoruichi delivers 695 punches and 698 kicks to Kisame.
" ARRGH ! " Kisame shouted as he struggles to recover from the punches but Yoruichi then uses her high-speed to dash into Kisame 562 times moving so fast that water is being uplifted 20 feet within a 2 mile radius. Kisame tries to use a handseal but Yoruichi comes .
" You're trying to use Jutsus again ? Let's see if your body can keep up with my speed " Yoruichi said to Kisame while the shark skin wielder is barely able to see Yoruichi.
Yoruichi launches Kisame 1,000 feet into the air then a second later knocks him back down 800 feet then kicks him back up a split second before he hits the ground. Kisame regains his sight only to see Yoruichi in front of him and he gets hit 75 times around like a ping-pong ball for 5 seconds .
" My body, it's not moving fast enough to react to her blows ! " Kisame said to himself as all parts of her body are covered in wounds before he's kicked up again by Yoruichi.
" You're a tough one, anyone else who was hit by that many blows wouldn't be standing but sadly this is where the fun ends " Yoruichi stated as she jumps into the air .
" I must stop her while i have the chance , Water Style: Thousand Hungry Sharks " Kisame chanted as he creates a massive tidal wave with thousands of sharks coming at Yoruichi but Yoruichi easily passes through it .
" That weak attack isn't going to work ! " Yoruichi stated as she appears in front of Kisame.
" Impossible, i can't guard or defend myself . No human can move this fast ! This level of speed is only comparable to the Yellow Flash, how can anyone have raw speed matching his ? Damn it ! " Kisame said to himself as he tires to block the punch but he's punched in the stomach and Yoruichi's claws drill deep into Kisame.
" Now there's no escaping this attack , game over Akatsuki ! " Yoruichi shouted as her claws glow with yellow energy.
" Damn it, if i don't do something, i'll die for sure " Kisame said to himself scared of his death as most of his skin has been peeled off from the blunt force combined with the windspeeds and slashes on his body as he falls onto the surface of the water.
" Way of Onmitsu, 2nd of the Shihō Riarutai Kopīga (リアルReal Body Copy ) " Yoruichi chanted as she creates 15 clones of herself .
" Must get back up ! " Kisame stated as he struggles to get back up.
" Way of Onmitsu, 3rd of the Shihō , Shifurasshu ( 死フラッシュ Flash of Death ) " Yoruichi chanted as she has all 15 of her clones hit 5 times each on Kisame's body with each strike to his neck, heart, lungs and head doing a total of 75 hits to Kisame .
" URRGAAAGHAH ! " Kisame shouted in extreme pain as he falls to the ground a bloody mess . Yoruichi charges up her claws.
" Time to end this ! Raibyō no Tsume(雷猫の爪Lightning Cat Claws) " Yoruichi chanted as she uses Shunkō combined with her Shikai attack to create an even bigger explosion leveling everything within a 2.3 mile radius in a yellow flash of light.
" ARRRGGHGHRA! " Kisame screamed in agony as he's hit by the force of the shockwave as all the water melts away from the blast.
Back at the Minamikawwase district
Shinji sees the explosion from a close distance. The explosion sends a massive cloud of steam that covers everything within a 6 mile radius
" Looks like Yoruichi won her battle as well ! " Shinji said to himself.
Meanwhile Rukia is trying to remove the clay off of Ichigo.
" Hold still Ichigo , taking out all this clay would be hard " Rukia said to Ichigo.
" Where did you get such powers to use a Bankai ? " Ichigo asked Rukia.
" No time to explain ! Time to remove this clay " Rukia answered.
" Looks like that bastard is dead ! " Ichigo stated.
" Not quite, he's still alive ! " Shinji stated as he removes his mask and uses Shunpo.
Deidara emerges out of the 200 foot deep, 237 foot diameter crater caused by a full power Cero with 3rd degree burns on his chest and back and a 2nd degree burn on the left side of his face. His shirt has been burned off revealing a scar on the left side of his chest. Deidara is on his knees trying to stand back up from the blast.
" Damn it ! " Deidara shouted as he gets back up with no arms and gets back on his knees.
" Ya decreased the amount of damage ya took by jumping off of C-2 and using it as a shield while detonating it to disperse the Cero. Ya were still burned by the attack even through your reduced the damage by 50 %. Guess that worthless piece of art was useful after all " Shinji explained to Deidara but the blonde Shinobi jumps up and goes to attack.
" DAMN YOU ! DAMN YOU MOTHERFUCKERS, I'M GOING TO BLOW YOU TO MILLIONS OF BITS ! " Deidara shouted as he spits out clay from his mouth and vomits out more clay but Itachi stops him.
" That's enough Deidara , we're going back ! " Itachi said to Deidara.
" I'm not done yet, the Substitute Shinigmai is still here, we can't just go back without him " Deidara stated.
" Our target wasn't the Substitute Shinigmai ,it was Orihime ! " Itachi replied.
" What ? ! What have you bastards done with Orihime ? " Ichigo shouted.
Meanwhile at Downtown Karakura Town
The smoke and steam clears up to reveal Yoruichi's Shikai and Shunkō attack created an massive explosion. The power of her Shikai attack generated 550 Kilotons of TNT in terms of destructive force, 37 times the destructive force used against Hiroshima within the first atomic bomb. The explosion leaves behind an immense crater 3,382 feet diameter , 924 foot deep crater. Yoruichi stand within the ruins of Downtown Karakura Town with several surviving high rises severely damaged with water flowing out of the buildings around the crater while everything else is in ruins. Water drips down the ruined debris of the area . Yoruichi had most of her Reiatsu absorbed and has reverted back to her sealed sword state fatigued.
" Damn, there's no way he could've survived that attack . I can't believe i was reduced back to my sealed sword state " Yoruichi said to herself as she then sees Kisame emerge out of the crater .
Kisame has 3rd degree burns with his entire chest cavity ripped out exposing his torn rib cage with blood leaking out with all his internal organs destroyed, with the heart ruptured and bleeding out with his lungs exposed. He stands holding Samehada which grew into a monstrous sentient creature with a mouth and twice the width growling with it's tongue sticking out while surrounded by the Shunkō cloak.
" Boy, you almost had me there Yoruichi ! " Kisame said to Yoruichi as she stares at horror at what she sees as Kisame's entire chest cavity heals up while absorbing her Shunkō cloak.
" Impossible, there's no way you can still be standing from a strike like that " Yoruichi said to Kisame .
" Perhaps you should've aimed for my head next time. Anything less than a decapitation isn't enough to end me babe " Kisame replied as he fully heals from his wounds.
" You're a monster ,even by Shinobi and Shinigmai standards , i never seen anyone shake off a fatal injury that easily, not even Captain Unohana " Yoruichi stated.
" Thank you, this is the reason why i'm known as the Tailless Tailed Beast. You really got amazingly high levels of Chakra , i didn't think i would have to use the healing powers of Samehada so soon " Kisame stated .
" I can't believe you still have so much energy left, there's no way a human could have this much power. Even the Kage i fought before wasn't this powerful " Yoruichi stated.
" When i face an immensely strong opponent such as yourself, i get strong indirect portion to all the strength i steal from you. As long as i process Samehada, i can never tire and the sword itself restores any damaged cells in my body meaning i can't die " Kisame explained to Yoruichi.
" This is bad, he's been holding back so much power. If he's really on the same level as that monster that almost killed the Captain Commander, i'll have no choice but to use my Bankai " Yoruichi said to herself as she prepares to use her Bankai.
" The longer the fight drags on, the weaker you get however i become stronger by taking your Chakra . Allow me to show you the true form of Samehada " Kisame said to Yoruichi as he goes to release the full power of his sword but is stopped by Itachi.
" That's enough Kisame, our mission is done ! " Itachi said to Kisame.
" Ah man, this is so typical of you. Just when i was having some fun " Kisame replied as he wraps up his sword and walks away.
" What plan ? And how are you still alive from Kisuke's attack ? " Yoruichi asked Itachi.
" It's simple, you killed a clone ! " Itachi answered as he puts a Negación field around him and Kisame and they go up to the Garganta.
Meanwhile at the Kitakawase / Yumisawa district border
Hitsugaya is at the ice tower he created when an Itachi clone appears and punches the ice tower with all his strength.
" Impossible, he punched through Hyōten Hyakkasō with ease, is he even Captain level ? " Hitsugaya said to himself who is at his sealed sword stated while Kakuzu is revealed to still be alive but with only 1 heart.
" That was too close for comfort, you almost had me their kid . You took 4 of my 5 hearts , this isn't over kid, don't you forget me. The next time we meet, i'll tear your heart out and eat it " Kakuzu said to the worn out Captain .
" Shall i activate the Negación ? " Itachi asked him.
" In a minute, i need to get that moron Hidan " Kakuzu answered as he uses Shunshin to go to where Hidan is at.
" Damn it, i almost had him. Had not for that Shinobi with those murderous eyes, i would've won this " Hitsugaya said to himself as he watches his foe escape.
Meanwhile at the Gakuchchou district
Uryū and Ryūken see Kakuzu appear next to Hidan .
" Looks like he's here to retrieve the corpse of his friend " Ryūken said to his son.
" Looks like you can use a hand there ! " Kakuzu asked Hidan.
" Who are you talking to ? He's dead, there's no way he could survive decapitation , immortal or not " Uryū asked Kakuzu but then he hears Hidan's voice
" WHO ARE YOU CALLING DEAD BITCH ? FUCK YOU , YOU FUCKING QUINCY FAGGOTS ! " Hidan shouted despite being a severed head.
" What the hell ? " Ryūken shouted shocked to see Hidan alive while losing his calm composure.
" AAHHH IMPOSSIBLE ! HOW THE HELL ARE YOU ALIVE ? " Uryū shouted horrified to see Hidan alive.
" Kakuzu... My body ..Do you mind bringing it here ... ? " Hidan asked Kakuzu in a weak tone.
" Very well then ! " Kakuzu answered as he grabs Hidan by the hair.
" GODDAMN IT KAKUZU ! I TOLD YOU TO BRING MY BODY FOR FUCK SAKE ! " Hidan shouted in pain as Kakuzu pulls on his hair .
" Your heads lighter ! " Kakuzu replied as he stands there worn out.
" OWWW! OWWW ! OWWW ! HEY KAKUZU, DON'T PULL ON MY GODDAMN HAIR ! THAT GRIP OF YOURS IS GOING TO RIP OFF MY SCALP AGAIN ! " Hidan shouted.
" If you're gonna complain about the pain, complain about your neck wound instead " Kakuzu stated.
" YOU DUMBASS BITCH ! THE PAIN IN MY NECK IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO COMPARED TO THAT...THIS IS MORE THAN JUST AN INJURY. THIS FUCKING HURTS LIKE HELL ! THIS IS UNFORGIVABLE YOU FUCKING QUINCY BASTARDS! DID YOU THINK CUTTING MY HEAD OFF WOULD KILL ME ? " Hidan shouted at them.
" This is psychically impossible. I severed his head , there's no way even a Shinigmai could survive decapitation, let alone a human yet not only is he alive but he retained his ability to speak and think despite the vocal chords and spinal cord being served . What the hell is he ? Given he survived decapitation, not even a Shinigmai could purify him, he must truly be immortal " Ryūken thinks to himself while trying to forget what he sees .
" I fought Bounts, Hollows, and Shinigmai and saw some outrageous things in my life but this takes the cake . I can't even begin to explain the impossibly of what's going on here . Still alive or not, it seems he doesn't process a Hollow's High Speed Regeneration and he can't use Jutsu or attack as long as he's detached from his body " Uryū said to himself as he then sees Ryūken tensed up.
" I'm not letting you two escape. Immortal or not, you won't be useful if you are nothing but dust " Ryūken stated as he goes to fire his arrow but the Itachi clone grabs his hand.
" You'll leave him alone ! " Itachi said to Ryūken as he holds on to his hand.
" He's strong ! " Ryūken said to himself.
" Let me fix that injury of yours, we need to leave here with you in one piece " Kakuzu stated as he puts Hidan's head but on his neck and uses his arm to produce a thread around his neck.
" SHIT ! OWW! ARRGH! OWWW ! " Hidan shouted.
" Don't be such a crybaby Hidan. It's just a decapitation injury , you should be lucky you weren't vaporized. Fixing a severed head is nothing " Kakuzu replied as he finishes sewing back Hidan's head.
" Ah, finally it's back on ! " Hidan said to Kakuzu as he grabs his scythe.
" Don't move it too much or it might fall off again ! " Kakuzu stated.
" AHH! Go fuck yourself Kakuzu and go eat a dick faggot , it's not my fault you lost 4 hearts to a little brat " Hidan replied.
" How the hell did he reattach that head ? I didn't think i would see this happening here " Uryū said to his father.
" Damn, one thing after another, these guys are far from normal humans " Ryūken replied as Itachi let's go of Ryūken's hand and goes next to Hidan and Kakuzu before disappearing as a crow clone.
" I underestimated my opponent, i didn't think a kid could wield that much power. At least i didn't lose my head " Kakuzu stated.
" Shut the fuck up ! " Hidan replied as they go into the Negación.
" Damn it, they got away ! " Uryū said to Ryūken as they watch the Zombie Brothers disappear into the Garganta.
Meanwhile at the Yumisawa district
Kukaku ,Chad ,Renji, Momo and Izuru stand at the 300 foot diameter, 100 foot deep crater created by Kukaku's attack. They're all powered down and worn out from their fighting . Sasori is in pieces and even decapitated from the blasts standing at the crater.
" Damn, that battle was so intense that i used up my Bankai's power " Renji said to the team worn out from the fighting.
" Indeed, i'm too tired out as well ! " Kukaku replied.
" We reached our limits ! " Momo stated.
" Indeed, still we at least killed our enemy, no way he survived that blast " Izuru replied.
" Guys look out ! " Chad shouted as he sees the body reforming with Chakra string reattaching and connecting back like a puppet.
" You guys take me far too likely , did you think that was enough to kill me ? " Sasori asked the group.
" Impossible, we disembowel you . How can you just put yourself back together ? " Renji asked Sasori.
" Just what the hell are you ? " Kukaku asked the puppetmaster.
" I must admit, i didn't expect you guys to destroy the Kazekage puppet however the reason why i'm the best puppetmaster in the world is that i made myself into a living puppet " Sasori answered.
" How is that even possible ? " Momo asked Sasori.
" I'm 35 years old yet i maintain the appearance of a teenage boy. My puppet body is virtually indestructible . Because i have no organs and powered by a Chakra core which allows to fight for extended periods of time without hindrances that would normally affect a human's body, such as fatigue, muscle failure, loss of blood, wounds and pain. When smashed apart, i could simply draw the pieces back together. There's nothing you can do to beat me , especially at your worn out condition . I'm the only Shinobi in existence that has limitless potential for evolution " Sasori explained to the group.
" Damn it , he's been stringing us along ! " Chad stated.
" That's how i was able to kill a Kage. Even the mightiest Shinigmai or Shinobi can't overcome the limits placed on them. Now it's time to have some fun with you guys " Sasori replied as he takes out 5 large blades that spin like a propeller and reveals pipes in his hands and takes out his scroll.
" This isn't good ! " Renji shouted.
" Time to make you my puppets !" Sasori replied only to be stopped by Itachi.
" That's enough Sasori, we must go ! " Itachi said to the group.
" I see, very well then. I'll return to hunt all of you down " Sasori answered as he uses a scroll to seal the wreckage of the Third Kazekage puppet before going into the Negación.
" That was too close for comfort ! " Renji said to the team.
Back at the Minamikawwase district
Ichigo stares down at Itachi who stands there in front of him with Shinji and Rukia there.
" What did you do with Orihime ? " Ichigo asked the raven haired Shinobi.
" She's now a part of us ! " Itachi answered.
" You bastards, i'll cut you guys down ! " Ichigo shouted as he jumps up to attack " Bankai ! " Ichigo shouted as he turns into his Bankai form and puts on his Vizard Mask.
" His power spiked up from hearing Orihime being kidnapped. Has Ichigo fallen in love with her ? " Rukia said to herself.
" Be careful Itachi, he's really fast and powerful in that form " Deidara said to Itachi who stands there clam and not worried.
" Fighting me is useless Kurosaki. You can't hope to beat me in your current state " Itachi said to Ichigo.
" He's right, that robe of his has been torn up " Shinji said to himself as he sees Ichigo being surrounded by a Black Reiatsu that restores his shihakushō.
" GIVE BACK ORIHIME ! " Ichigo shouted as he charges at Itachi at high-speed but Itachi throws a Shuriken at the Hollow Mask causing the mask to shatter.
" Don't bother coming after her, your body has reached it's limit Kurosaki " Itachi replied as he walks away with Deidara.
" He took out his mask with just a Shuriken , how powerful is this guy ? " Ichigo said to himself as he stands there shocked to see his mask gone.
" I won't let you escape ! " Shinji shouted as he charges up a Cero in his hands to aim at Itachi but the Negación appears and both Itachi and Deidara go up the Garganta.
" COME BACK HERE YOU COWARDS ! " Ichigo shouted as he tires to cut the Negación field but it fails.
" It's useless Ichigo, you can't stop us now . While you have a new power, you're already at your limit. Now Orihime is ours and there's nothing you can do about it " Itachi replied as he and Deidara go up to Hueco Mundo.
To be continued…
