Bleach Shippuden 56 :Operation Halcyon : The infiltration of Hueco Mundo

(A/N: Sorry for the month delay. My computer broke down and crashed around the middle of this month due to a broken fan and all the data to this fan fic chapter was deleted in the process. Computer has been having overheating problems due to the fan and the hot weather. The good news is that i have Chapter 57 and 58 almost completed and should take much shorter. This Hiatus is even longer than the one that occurred back at January but rest assured because i have returned. This is also going to be a very long but important chapter filled with build up and character development to set the bridge to the new arc )

I don't own Bleach or Naruto

Friday September 28,2001 8:00 P.M. Konohakagure , Narutoverse

Konoha is recovering from the destruction that occurred in the last 4 days. Konohakagure was partially rebuilt by Tsunade and Onoki. Onoki used his Earth Style Justu to uplift the village out of the crater with Tsunade lending him her remaining Chakra into recreate temporary housing within the village. The village is now having people organize into the small shelters created by the Tsuchikage and Konoha prepares to resume the reconstruction around the ruined village.

While people have basic housing again, they remain without any sanitation treatment. There are no sewage systems within village to treat the water . With Konoha river dried up from the blast collision between Kyuubi Naruto and Hollow Ichigo, drought is also a major issue as well as the vast amounts of arable land destroyed. With all the power grids destroyed, most of the village is without power. It would still take 5 years and the total repair cost of 810,000,000,000 ryō( $ 81, 000,000,000 U.S. dollars ) to fully restore Konoha to the state it was before the Shinobi invasion.

Onoki is meanwhile resting within the makeshift Hokage palace made by Yamato placed back where it used to be as well as the Hokage herself .

" That was amazing Grandpa ! " Kurotsuchi said to her grandfather.

" It was nothing , it's not the first time i had to rebuild an entire village from starch " Onoki stated.

" Still it's too bad you can't fix everything around here ! " Akatsuchi replied as he rest on the bed.

Meanwhile at the Hospital. Sai is being tended to by Sakura with Sai appearing uneasy about what happened. Sakura is working on attaching the prosthetic arm of Sai after it was destroyed by Yammy .

" What's wrong Sai ? Something troubling you ? " Sakura asked.

" It's Lord Danzō, i think he's dead " Sai answered.

" What makes you think that ? " Sakura asked.

" It's because of this " Sai replied as he stick out his tongue revealing he has no sealing tattoo on his tongue .

" Where's the seal ? " Sakura asked.

" It's gone as well as Danzō's presence, it seems like Danzō has met an inevitable fate " Sai answered.

" It's most likely he was killed off by the Shinigami " Sakura stated.

" My question is how could anyone kill off a man that powerful ? " Sai asked.

" I really worn myself out uplifting this village, the Hokage owes me for life for this " Onoki responded as he rest up going to sleep within the candlelight lit room.

Meanwhile within the same Tsunade is eating alot of food to maintain her massive reserves of Chakra. Tsunade so far has eaten 20 plates of food 5 sake bottles and is still hungry .

" Please take your time Lady Tsunade " Shizune said to the Hokage while hugging Tonton.

" This food isn't enough. My Chakra reserves haven't fully replenished yet ! Bring me back more food or i'll turn old again " Tsunade shouted .

" You eaten most of our own rations of food left over for 3 days, you need to wait until tomorrow for that to happen " Shizune stated.

" I need more food ! " Tsunade replied as she stares at Tonton.

" No Tsunade, don't eat Tonton ! " Shizune shouted only for Kakashi to walk into the room.

" Hey Tsunade. How's things with you ? " Kakashi asked her.

" Recovering nicely from being in a coma and within another fight " Tsunade answered as she eats a piece of chicken wings like a rabid wolf.

" I'm glad you're here, Danzō was going to take over the village and i wasn't really the Hokage type either " Kakashi stated.

" I should've known that bastard slimebag would've tried something funny in the wake of events " Tsunade replied.

Suddenly Baki walks in with a letter within his hand .

" We got problems ! " Baki said to Tsunade.

" What is it ? " Tsunade asked .

" It's a letter from the Kage Summit ! " Baki answered.

" What is it about ? " Tsunade asked.

" It's Danzō Shiruma . He was found dead at 1:30 P.M. after a 9.5 earthquake shook both the Land of Iron and Land of Light " Baki explained to Tsunade.

" Danzō died ? " Tsunade asked .

" More like he was killed, he was cut down by a sword . The sword slash was so powerful that it not only killed him but the same slashwave cut down a 15 mile long mountain range area within the Land of Light and half of the Land of Iron bridge " Baki answered shocked as he reads this .

" This is madness, how can a sword cut down an entire mountain range ? This power is that of the Six Sages. Not even Kages are this powerful enough to cleanly slash through a mountain range " Tsunade stated shocked by the news .

" This can't be ! " Kakashi stated recalling what Gin said to him.

" What are you talking about ? " Tsunade asked.

" So the legend of Yamamoto is true ! " Kakashi answered.

" Yamamoto ? " Tsunade asked.

" The leader of the Shinigami, he must of been the one who killed off Danzō " Kakashi answered.

" This is madness, you're saying that such a man could actually exist ? " Baki asked.

" There's no doubt truth to Kakashi's words. I might of disliked Danzō but he was one of the strongest Kages of his time , he was a direct rival to Hiruzen and rivaled the immense power that the Third Hokage had. He's probably the most skilled and dangerous of all Kages aside from the Tsuchikage. For him to be cut down so easily , that just shows just how dangerous Yamamoto is " Tsunade explained to the group.

" There's more to this. It's agreed among all parties that the Kages would gather here Sunday to finish the conference due to Danzo's walkout on the conference and a violent string of attacks from Shinigami terrorists that attempted to assassinate the Raikage and the Mizukage " Baki explained to Tsunade.

" It's just as i feared. With 7 out of 9 Tailed beasts, they're becoming much more bold in their attacks . I see, the only recourse is to accept the meeting and discuss the issue on what to do in regards of the Shinigami " Tsunade replied as she signs the letter.

" Tsunade, there's one thing we want to show you after we're done eating " Yamamoto said to Tsunade.

" What is it Yamato ? " Tsunade asked.

" It's something that could get us into the Soul Society ! " Yamato answered.

Meanwhile at the Hospital , many of the Shinobi are within hospital beds with limited electrical appliances and medical equipment . Hinata is on her bed resting up from Chakra Exhaustion with Naruto at bedside with Kurenai, Shino, Kiba and Neji next to her.

" Hinata, please hang in there ! " Naruto said to himself as he holds onto the blue haired Shinobi.

" Listen Naruto, i'm sorry for saying that you didn't deserve to be Shinobi " Kiba said to Naruto.

" Same here ! " Shino replied.

" We all let our anger get the best of us ! " Kurenai stated.

" We were assholes to you ! " Neji replied.

" That's okay guys, i kinda fucked up. It's not easy trying to be a Shinobi when you have this demon inside you whole i swear,i'll find a way to control it and then i'll avenge my sensei " Naruto explained to the group.

" Don't worry Naruto, everyone knows you're the world's most unpredictable Ninja " Shino stated.

" You pretty much proved that when you beat me in the preliminaries ! " Kiba replied.

" The same thing within the finals when you proved that only you can control your destiny " Neji responded.

" Naruto , Hinata holds alot of faith within you, don't let her down " Kurenai stated.

" Don't worry, i would always stand by her side ! " Naruto replied.

Meanwhile at the Kurosaki clinic

Ichigo rest within his bed with his head on his pillow thinking about the fact he failed to protect Orihime.

" This isn't fair , why did she have to be kidnapped ? Just when i thought i things was getting better for my life, fate shovels shit in my face " Ichigo said to himself as he lies down on his bed with tears coming out of his eyes.

" Ichigo , dinner is ready ! " Yuzu said to Ichigo .

" I'm not very hungry ! " Ichigo replied as he lies in bed.

" Are you feeling alright Ichigo ? " Karin asked her older brother.

" I'm okay , just feeling down " Ichigo answered as he wipes his tears.

" What happened ? " Karin asked Ichigo.

" Me and Orihime broke up " Ichigo answered with a lie.

" I see, you really cared for her big brother ! " Yuzu stated.

" More than i could ever imagine now we've gone our separate ways ! " Ichigo replied as he goes into his pillow.

" Let's leave him alone for now, it's best he gets some personal time alone " Karin responded as both of them walk away from the room.

Meanwhile at the ANBU underground base

Tsunade walks with Kakashi, Yamato and Shizune as well as Baki, Temari and Kankurō to the center of 50 foot wide room where they see scientists and ANBU team are working on a project .

" What is this ? " Tsunade asked.

" It's a project that the Konoha Cryptanalysis Squad started earlier shortly before the attacks on this village " Kakashi answered.

" What are you guys constructing ? " Tsunade asked.

" A portal that would take us to the Soul Society " Yamato answered.

" What are you talking about ? " Baki asked.

" Me and Kakashi uncovered some documents from the enemy which reveals how they can come to other villages with surprisingly speed and stealth " Kakashi explained to Tsunade.

" This here is a portal being developed to travel into the Hidden village that is the Soul Society ! " Shiho stated.

" You mean you guys found a way to get Gaara back ? " Kankurō asked.

" Not yet, we only just begun the construction of the portal " Yamato answered.

" So you're saying that you guys can get within the Soul Society ? " Tsunade asked.

" We can but we need a week to follow these documents " the head of the Konoha Cryptanalysis Squad answered.

" Thanks Kakashi for the intel, this changes everything ! " Tsunade replied .

Soul Society

9:00 P.M. Yamamoto is feeling uneasy about the Aizen having Orihime in his procession.

" This is very bad , Aizen knows the true extent of Orihime's power . He could use that any moment to awaken the Hōgyoku at any time he chooses to. I'm afraid that even with the mobilization of the draft and building of self-defense militia, we won't have enough time to prepare for the worst Aizen has to offer " Yamamoto explained to Yoruichi.

" Rescuing Orihime comes as a top priority however we don't know much about the layout of Aizen's fortress , Las Noches. We need someone to breach into Las Noches and get the full layout. I'm afraid that Soifon going into the fortress wouldn't happen due to her recovering her injuries " Yoruichi stated.

" So what do you propose ? " Yamamoto asked.

" I propose to use Vice Captain Ibiki Chokorēto to go into Las Noches in disguised as an Arrancar and get the layout of the fortress " Yoruichi answered.

" What for ? Why not go yourself ? " Yamamoto asked.

" I'll assist her as backup if she needs it besides she's highly competent and capable of handling herself ! " Yoruichi replied.

" Then what do you plan to do ? " Yamamoto asked.

" We'll plan a surprise raid against Las Noches. The Vizards would each launch a series of strategic , surgical strikes towards vital defenses of Las Noches to create a diversion to get most of the fighting force, including the Espadas to attack there. While the enemies are fighting, Kisuke would directly engage with Sosuke Aizen to divert him while i go with Vice Captain Chokorēto to free Orihime. Tessai being the last line of defense would then use his Bankai and cast Sekienton (赤煙遁Red Smoke Escape) to cover the entire fortress within the blinding smoke . Then Kisuke would cast Kyokko (曲光 Curved Light) to help us escape with Orihime back to the Soul Society " Yoruichi explained to the elder Captain.

" You have no way of taking on Aizen yourselves ? " Yamamoto asked.

" It's far too risky. Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu makes it tricky to fight him, not to mention using our full power within Las Noches will put Vice Captain Chokorēto and Orihime at risk as well as the Vizard Vice Captains. Kisuke would only be there to distract Aizen , not kill him for doing so would be tough, especially with Gin and Tōusen on Aizen's side " Yoruichi stated .

" When do you plan to deploy the plan ? " Yamamoto asked.

" How soon can Mayuri get an Garganta working ? " Yoruichi answered with a question.

" Knowing him, around 24 hours ! " Yamamoto replied.

" Given the vast size of the fortress, it would take at least 3 days for Ibiki to explore the whole fortress from every point but i'm confident that she can do this " Yoruichi explained to the elder Captain.

" So what about Ichigo Kurosaki, do you plan to use him after he recovers from the surgery ? I advise you shouldn't " Yamamoto asked.

" Don't worry, Ichigo is a major liability to our mission. First of all, Isshin just reported that he's under severe depression, someone that unstable with his Hollow powers out of control would only cause chaos to the battlefield and second of all he wouldn't be needed for this anyways. The Vizard Captains each wield the same level of power as Ichigo's most powerful Hollow state, combined within me and Kisuke as part of the assault, we don't need to worry about additional manpower " Yoruichi explained to Yamamoto.

" Brilliant strategy ! " Yamamoto replied as he's amazed by the plan.

" Don't thank me, thank Kisuke, he's the brains as usual ! " Yoruichi responded.

Meanwhile within Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho

Unohana is resting within her bed with Isane tending to her . Unohana several hours earlier used the power of her Bankai and an alchemy Kidō spell to restore the city of Karakura Town to it's former glory at the cost of having no Reiatsu for a while.

" Captain Unohana, how are you feeling ? " Isane asked Unohana.

" Fine, i just need a while to recover my Reiatsu " Unohana answered.

" How are we going to function without you Captain ? You're the best healer here " Isane questioned her Captain.

" Don't worry, i have faith within your abilities ! " Unohana replied.

" But what if i don't do as well ? " Isane asked .

" You doubt yourself too much Isane ! " Unohana replied as she feels on her Vice Captains face .

" I guess you have a point, i can do this! " Isane replied as she gains some confidence only for Unohana hugging her.

" Please hold onto the fort until i return Monday " Unohana said to Isane as she kisses the shy Vice Captain on the check hugging her.

" Unohana ! " Isane asked as she blushes.

" You're like a daughter to me , please take care ! " Unohana replied.

Meanwhile Byakuya and Kenpachi are resting within the hospital bed with Renji and Rukia at bedside. Byakuya has a vest like cast on his torso and abdomen caused by a punch from Itachi earlier.

" So how are you doing ? " Renji asked his Captain.

" I'm fine, just a few cracked ribs and some internal bruising to my stomach but i'm fine " Byakuya answered as he lies down.

" Brother , hopefully you get better ! " Renji stated .

" Don't worry guys, the injuries aren't that serious, i'll be up and moving tomorrow " Byakuya replied.

Meanwhile Kenpachi is at his bed with Yachiru, Yumichika and Ikkaku . He has a cast on his right arm and bandages on the left side of his face .

" Damn Kenpachi, you took a nasty beating " Yumichika said to Kenpachi.

" Yeah the enemy crushed my arm pretty badly however thanks to Isane, i can walk out of here tomorrow " Kenpachi stated.

" That's great news Kenny ! " Yachiru replied .

" Man, this guy must of been very strong to hurt you " Ikkaku stated.

" Yeah, neither me or Byakuya could take him ! " Kenpachi replied.

Meanwhile at the 12th Division Headquarters & Barracks

Mayuri and his crew study more about countering Shinobi while building a Garganta.

" This chaos that occurred today really drained our resources within the Soul Society " Mayuri said to his squad.

" Indeed, having to construct this Garganta isn't easy , especially with us being called to manufacture weapons for the defense militias " Akon replied.

" It's going to really drive up the debt within the Soul Society once all this is over " Hiyosu stated.

" We already spent a chunk of money trying to erase an entire country's memory of the event with the Shinobi earlier today , now we're stuck with all this work " Rin replied.

" This is no time to complain, it seems we're all be pulling late night shifts tonight trying to work on helping the Soul Society make up for the massive lack of manpower " Mayuri said to his squad.

" Right Captain ! " all of them replied as they begin their work .

" So what to do now Captain ? " Nemu asked her father.

" I need you to make sure the Garganta is met with the necessary preparations, we plan to make use of it under Operation: Halcyon " Mayuri stated.

" Right Captain Kurotsuchi ! " Nemu replied as she gets to work on the project.

Meanwhile at the Vizard Hideout

Shinji and the gang are strategize their plan to invade Las Noches to aid in Orihime's escape .

" As you guys already know, we face a major crisis right now " Shinji said to the team.

" You mean the Orihime incident ? " Kensei asked.

" Yes, Aizen now has procession of her as we speak " Shinji answered.

" This is bad! Aizen at this rate could restore the Hōgyoku at any given time " Lisa stated.

" Why don't we go and attack now ? " Hiyori asked impatiently.

" Because it would a trap and suicide to rush in without thinking. Aizen alone is a threat, everyone of us has been affected by his Kyōka Suigetsu and his Bankai is an unknown but the fact he could assemble an army as powerful as the Espadas and manage to maintain control of all of them just shows how scary he is, not to mention the powerful Shinobi that aid him as well " Shinji explained to the team.

" Still , the more time we waste here, the longer Aizen could reactivate the Hōgyoku " Love stated.

" Hiyori has a point, our time is finite ! " Kensei replied.

" According to Kisuke, we have at least one week to stop Aizen from fully awakening the Hōgyoku " Shinji said to the group.

" Why a week ? He could attack anytime " Mashio asked.

" I don't know for sure. I only have the reports given to me by Captain Kurotsuchi " Shinji answered.

" I'm guessing Mayuri hacked into Aizen's data within his computer and pulled it out of his computer " Hachigen stated.

" Either Aizen i getting vastly overconfident or it's just a trap . Either way we must act on this opportunity as soon as possible, this would be our only shot at this " Shinji said to the Vizards.

" So how are we going to carry this out ? " Rose asked.

" In 3 days after Vice Captain Chokorēto gives us the intel, we'll begin Operation:Halcyon " Shinji answered as the Vizards prepare for the prison break.

Meanwhile at Las Noches

Orihime is within her cell crying her eyes out from the stress she's going through while she thinks of Ichigo.

" Ichigo , why couldn't i defend myself better ? Forgive me for being so weak, i'm powerless to do anything . Just when i think life was finally becoming great, then this happens . I want to get out of here so badly, Ichigo please get me out of here " Orihime said to herself as Aizen walks into the cell with the Hōgyoku removed from his chest .

" Orihime , i need your help with something " Aizen said to Orihime as he shows her the Hōgyoku.

" No! I'm not helping you again ! I refuse to help a man as evil as you " Orihime stated in anger with tears in her eyes.

" You're a prisoner here Inoue, i'm afraid your right to choose doesn't exist . Be grateful that i allow you to exist in surprisingly good comfort. You could probably end up like the countless female prison victims. Many of them are raped, killed , tortured or turned into prostitutes or all of the above. I value you above the rest and that's the sole reason why i'm this nice to you . Trust me when i say you don't want to make me angry " Aizen explained to Orihime as he feels on her face.

" HANDS OFF ME, I'M ONLY FOR ICHIGO ! " Orihime shouted as she slaps Aizen in the face.

" Calm down Orihime, i don't wish to force myself onto you. Even though i'm more than capable of doing so, i'm not a rapist by any means. I think it's a pointless activity done by the weak to make themselves feel stronger . As you can see, i'm so strong that i don't even really need to ask my Espadas twice to follow orders, not to mention i'm the epitome of attraction among all men, rape is a pointless cause when you can seduce a woman effortlessly " Aizen explained to Orihime with the arrogance and ego that would make Hitler blush.

" I understand now, you're the very definition of an evil arrogant man. You manipulated countless people in the past, i can tell just reading your heart that whatever humanity you had before has died and it has been replaced on what i can describe as the most vile and hateful being to stand before me " Orihime stated with contempt for Aizen.

" I see, so you could read my heart huh ? I'm far from a Hero but compared to what the Soul Society has been doing for years , i'm virtually a saint " Aizen replied.

" What are you talking about ? " Orihime asked Aizen.

" Ever wonder why so much misery in this world exist ? The Soul King sits on his throne and watches us kill each other off for his amusement. He's the reason why you had such a terrible life " Aizen answered.

" Shut it , i wish not to hear your bullshit ! " Orihime stated.

" I see, you're not as naïve as i thought , still you need to learn how to respect me better Inoue ! " Aizen replied as he calmly walks away unfazed by Orihime's assault and insults.

Meanwhile within the Kurosaki Clinic

Ichigo is by himself out on the rooftop looking at the barrier surrounding his house when Isshin comes to talk with his son.

" So Ichigo, Yuzu and Karin told me how you're feeling " Isshin said to Ichigo with a serious tone to his voice rather than his usually goofy persona .

" I'm not in the mood for your jokes ! " Ichigo stated.

" What happened between you and Orihime ? " Isshin asked.

" Me and her got into a small fight and i'm regretting it big time " Ichigo answered.

" Did you hit her ? " Isshin asked.

" No , i just had an argument with her whether we should be more than friends. I told her that we shouldn't take things too fast but Orihime wanted to rush the relationship . Now i'm afraid that such that fight, i'm afraid she's not going to back with me " Ichigo explained to Isshin.

" Listen Ichigo, i have faith you can get her back, don't think this is the end of the world " Isshin stated.

" I don't know what to do to get her back ! " Ichigo replied.

" Here's my key advice Ichigo. Never give up , Orihime means everything to you right ? " Isshin asked Ichigo.

" Yes, she 's my whole world ! " Ichigo answered.

" Do what it takes to get her back but first recover the wounds within your heart , once you've done that Ichigo, do whatever you wish to bring her back. With the strength within your heart, you can overcome any obstacle Ichigo ! " Isshin explained to his son .

" Thanks for the advice but i doubt it'll be easy " Ichigo stated.

" That's not like you to give up my son ! " Isshin replied as he walks away from the rooftop while his son stands on the rooftop.

Isshin then gets a phone call from Kisuke about the operation.

" Isshin are you there ? " Kisuke asked.

" Yeah i'm here ! " Isshin answered.

" How's Ichigo doing ? " Kisuke asked.

" He's an emotional wreck , i haven't seen him this sad since Masaki died " Isshin answered.

" I was afraid you were going to say that " Kisuke stated.

" What's wrong ? " Isshin asked.

" There has been some slight miscalculations with the plan, we might need Ichigo for the plan to work " Kisuke replied.

" What do you mean ? " Isshin asked.

" We got intel from Mayuri that there's another Espada within the ranks, as of this week, two new Espadas have been formed " Kisuke answered.

" What do you mean ? " Isshin asked.

" One of them is Skullak Tuma and the other being Wonderweiss Margera . We currently are decoding more of their information but we know one thing and one thing alone, both of these new entries are Espada level " Kisuke answered.

" You got to be kidding me ? " Isshin asked.

" I did the planning and the math already and already have information on all the current Espadas. The Vizards alone should be enough to handle the Espadas but with these two unknown Espada level Arrancars joining the fray, it would cause serious problems. In other words, there's a good chance the Vizards might be set up for a trap and with them outnumbered, it's only a matter of time before they're probably killed off " Kisuke explained to the former Captain.

" I see , so in other words Ichigo is needed ? " Isshin asked .

" Yes he is , either that or you have to tag along ! " Kisuke stated.

" I'll see what i can do for my son , he needs to be cheered up until then or at least kept emotionally stable " Isshin replied.

" I'm counting on you Isshin, don't let us down. You're the only one who can help out Ichigo " Kisuke said to his friend.

" I understand that already ! " Isshin replied.

" My question now is when are you going to tell him the truth of your past ? " Kisuke asked.

" When the time is right ! " Isshin answered as he hangs up the phone.

The Next Day

Saturday September 29, 2001 6:00 A.M Bleachverse, Soul Society

Soifon and Yoruichi are talking with Ibiki about her mission to Hueco Mundo.

" You have a huge mission ahead of you Vice Captain Chokorēto " Soifon said to her new Vice Captain while in crutches.

" What is it Captain Soifon ? " Ibiki asked.

" You been entrusted with a top-secret mission that only the higher-ups know about, a mission that affects the upcoming Winter War and whether we win or lose " Soifon stated.

" What is my mission Captain Soifon ? " Ibiki asked.

" Your mission is to rescue Orihime Inoue ! " Yoruichi answered.

" That's a big task, i can't possibly take on the whole Arrancar army ,even if i used my stealth skills " Ibiki stated.

" You won't be taking them on. It's suicide for any of us to try fighting the Espadas all by ourselves , your job is to infiltrate the massive fortress that is Las Noches and get a security detail on the entire palace . You will pose as an Natural born Arrancar and wander Hueco Mundo until you're found, once there, use the opportunity within Las Noches to get intel on the places of interest and most importantly, rendezvous with Orihime Inoue but don't try to break her out until we give the signal " Yoruichi explained to Ibiki.

" What is the signal ? " Ibiki asked.

" On Tuesday within 3:00 A.M. we'll attack Las Noches with the Vizards as backup and Kisuke and Tessai as a second line of defense . We'll provide the smokescreen needed for you to escape Las Noches with Orihime . Soon we'll fall back and the mission will be a success. It would require you not to get caught even once though, even the smallest misstep would cost us the entire mission " Soifon explained to them.

" This seems like a huge task , i'm not sure if i can undertake this " Ibiki said to the two.

" Don't undercut yourself just because you're a Vice Captain, i have you to thank for saving me from the Hokage. You're one of the best people i have ever worked with . I believe in you Ibiki, you can do this and make your parents proud " Soifon replied.

" I'm willing to put my life on the line for the Soul Society and for you Captain Soifon " Ibiki responded with a salute.

" I would of token up on this mission but at the moment i can barely move my legs , i'm counting on you Ibiki " Soifon responded as she hugs her Vice Captain.

" Now that we have all that out of the way, let's head to Kurotsuchi. He should have everything set up for your disguise and look as an Arrancar " Yoruichi said to Ibiki as she walks Ibiki to the lab.

Las Noches

6:00 A.M. Orihime is kept prisoner within the holding cell next to Aizen's throne room when Skullak comes to Orihime walking into her cell.

" Who are you ? " Orihime asked Skullak.

" I'm former Primera Espada , Skullak Tuma. Nice to meet you " Skullak answered.

" Whatever ! " Orihime stated folding her hands together and pouting.

" I see, sorry for having to kidnap you. Aizen needs your power to use for his grand plan " Skullak stated.

" What grand plan, the one he needs to take over this world ? Aizen cares about no one but himself " Orihime explained to Skullak.

" I know it might seem that way in first glance but it's much more complicated that it seems " Skullak replied.

" What do you mean ? " Orihime asked.

" Aizen's goals is to unite all Hollows and Humans together, for many years there are good Hollows like us who discriminate against us " Skullak stated.

" It was you monsters who killed my brother, i lost everything that day " Orihime replied.

" Understand that not all Hollows are like that , i never once killed a human soul . Aizen himself wants to give us Hollows intelligence so we don't need to feed on human souls to evolve our power . The one who killed your brother is not among us Arrancars " Skullak explained to Orihime.

" But Grand Fisher stated that Arrancars are created from the Hōgyoku " Orihime stated.

" And do you know why we were created from the Hōgyoku ? " Skullak asked.

" What for ? " Orihime asked.

" We wish to become humans once again " Skullak replied.

" What are you talking about ? " Orihime questioned the Arrancar.

" We long to be like you again however Arrancars are rarely created by nature, in other words we need to eat hundreds of souls to become human again. What Aizen is trying to do is make sure that Hollows become more human we can one day be restored of our humanity " Skullak explained to Orihime.

" You don't seem to be lying however do you know if Aizen really is trying to help you guys ? " Orihime asked Skullak.

" It was because of him that i was able to continue living and it was him that make me feel human . He helped turned countless savage Hollows into kind and understanding humans.. well most of them anyways " Skullak answered.

" What about the Soul Society ? You're going to actually destroy it ? " Orihime asked Skullak .

" We must, for too long , they failed to help out the people in need " Skullak answered.

" What are you talking about ? " Orihime asked.

" The Soul Society is nothing more but a bunch of ruthless barbarians who have no honor whatsoever. They don't care about us Hollows despite the fact we're sentient beings , they don't bother to distinguish the mindless hollows from the true hollows such as myself . Hollows struggle to reclaim our humanity, it's not fair that we're hunted and lumped together with the barbaric Hollows which attack humans " Skullak explained to the group.

" You're saying there are Hollows out there that only want to reclaim their humanity ? " Orihime asked.

" Yes however they eventually cave in to the primal urges cursed upon them and people refuse to treat them or help them maintain their humanity. In other words , we eventually become monsters " SKullak answered.

" But the Shinigami konso souls ! " Orihime stated.

" That's what they want you to believe, sure they take them to the Soul Society but what happens to the souls after that ? They aren't given any healthcare and have to struggle to make ends meet while the Shinigami have all the wealth and power . There was once a time where Hollows were more akin to humans and weren't hunted or prosecuted " Skullak explained to Orihime.

" Come to think of it, i did remember seeing some poor houses among the Seireitei, you're telling me that the Soul Society doesn't care about it's own people and more importantly what are these Hollows you speak of that are humans ? " Orihime questioned the brown-haired Arrancar.

" That is known as Vasto Lordes . Vasto Lordes are Hollows who have become human again , we gained the same level of intelligence and even the emotions of the humans. For a while, we lived peacefully and there was one of us but now Espada's 1-4 and myself are the last remaining of our kind as original Vasto Lordes " Skullak explained to the ginger.

" What happened to the Vasto Lordes ? " Orihime asked.

" Thousands of years ago, the Soul Society fell into control of the Shinigami. They were threatened and terrified by the power of the Vasto Lordes and plotted to kill us off. The Arturo Plateado incident is what set things off and that's what caused the Soul Society to go on their genocidal hunt against us " Skullak explained to the young teen.

" So what about you ? Were you born a Vasto Lordes ? " Orihime asked Skullak.

" No i was born an Adjuchas, only Adjuchas and above are capable of giving birth to children. Long before Aizen took over things in Hueco Mundo, there were Noble Houses within Las Noches ran by families of powerful Adjuchas and Vasto Lordes " Skullak stated.

" Hueco Mundo had royal families ? " Orihime asked.

" It did ! I was the prodigy son of the Tuma House. My mother was Leda Tuma. She was the most beautiful and strongest woman during those times. My father was Jango Tuma, he was the leader of the Tuma House and his majesty King Baraggan's right hand man of his army " Skullak explained to Orihime.

" Please tell me how the house works ? " Orihime asked.

" When one is born in the Tuma House and old enough or evolve to an Adjuchas. They must learn history about Hueco Mundo and learn to fight. I practice with the Tuma's greats warriors and Generals. I was a quick learner and became a great warrior for a young age as a hollow. I also had to learn our House's Motto Strength from Order, Glory and Honor' " Skullak stated.

" Where are your parents ? " Orihime asked.

" They're all dead ! " Skullak answered.

" Why ? " Orihime asked .

" My father died trying to achieve peace between the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo back when Barragan ran this place and i was a child hundreds of years ago. My father died in the hands of a Shinigami wearing a black hood that was Captain level 110 years ago , i don't know who killed him but i'm determined to hunt down the one who killed my father and get my revenge " Skullak stated .

" You really do seem to care about your parents ! " Orihime replied.

" You have the false notion that all Hollows are evil , however we're just struggling to maintain what we lost " Skullak said to the young ginger.

" So you guys want me to help you get revenge on the Soul Society ? " Orihime asked Skullak.

" You're the trump card we need to win this entire war . Once Aizen is the Soul King, Hollows will no longer be hunted or oppressed, they would no longer face fear of the Shinigami and we can live like humans " Skullak explained to Orihime.

" I really don't want any part of this. I understand that you're angry and want payback but all you would be doing is creating a circle of hatred by taking on Shinigami and killing them " Orihime stated.

" Perhaps you and i should hang out and i'll show you more around the place " Skullak said Orihme.

" But aren't i a prisoner ? " Orihime asked.

" Lord Aizen wouldn't mind if i took you around the place and show you how us Arrancar live, besides there's no way you can escape anyways and i don't wish to hurt you " Skullak answered as he grabs Orihime's hand and both of them walk away from the room.

Meanwhile at Las Noches Thorne Room

Aizen sits down with Sasuke drinking tea at the table . Aizen sits there calmly while Sasuke has an angry look on his face.

" Just who the hell are you ? " Sasuke asked.

" My name is Sosuke Aizen , i'm the one who runs everything within the fortress you see here " Aizen answered.

" This place , it's huge . I never seen anything this big before in my life " Sasuke stated.

" I made this from starch , this is the largest fortress within the world ! " Aizen replied.

" You guys claim to be spirits yet you act no different from humans , if anything you guys could die even though you're dead already " Sasuke stated.

" It's a bit perplexing isn't it ? Well i wonder that myself but let's talk about that later, you came for power right ? " Aizen said to the Uchiha survivor.

" Yes , i want more power ! " Sasuke replied.

" Why do you need this power ? " Aizen asked.

" You already know why, you wouldn't seeked me out . My question to you is why do you want me to get more power ?" Sasuke answered with a question.

" I must say, you're highly perspective , allow me to be straightforward with you . I need your power to help take down the Akatsuki's and the Soul Society " Aizen stated.

" No way , i have no interest in being used as a pawn for your power grab ! " Sasuke replied.

" Now , now Sasuke . I know what you desire , you want Itachi dead for what he done to your clan but at your current state, you stand no chance against him. You need my power to ever hope to avenge your clan " Aizen said to Sasuke.

" Still that's the same song and dance Orochimaru said to me , i'm tired of being manipulated and lied to . How do i know you even have the power to make me stronger ? " Sasuke asked him.

" Come at me then ! " Aizen answered as he sits there drinking his tea .

" Fine then, let's test your godly power ! " Sasuke stated as he takes out his Chidori blade and goes to attack Aizen .

" You're fast ! " Aizen said to himself as he uses his pinky finger to effortlessly block the blade with his pinky while holding his tea.

" Impossible, you blocked my Chidori blade with just your finger " Sasuke said to Aizen as he then puts down the cup which has a small chip on the handle

" You're strong, you really have the potential to beat your brother " Aizen said to Sasuke.

" Could this guy be even stronger than Orochimaru ? He didn't even blink when he saw my attack coming " Sasuke said to himself.

" You're aware that your brother is within the Akatsuki , my business rival group right ? " Aizen asked.

" Yeah, i'm aware of that what's your point ? " Sasuke asked.

" Do you know who's the leader of the Akatsuki that Itachi worked for ? " Aizen questioned the young Uchiha.

" Why does that matter ? " Sasuke answered with a question.

" Because that leader was the one who killed your clan off " Aizen stated.

" So Itachi is the leader ? " Sasuke questioned the mulleted Captain.

" No, he was just the pawn within the game . The one who murdered your clan was Madara Uchiha " Aizen replied.

" Impossible , Madara Uchiha is dead ! " Sasuke shouted.

" So am i , in fact you're dead as well at least psychically ! " Aizen replied.

" Quit making up bullshit, Madara Uchiha couldn't of ... " Sasuke stated only to be cut off by Aizen.

" But he did , perhaps you need to learn more about the story of Madara china " Aizen replied in a calm tone.

" Fine ! " Sasuke responded as he calms down and listens to Aizen.

" Madara Uchiha was the one who killed of his clan " Aizen said to the teen.

" That's impossible, Madara Uchiha fought for the clan, you expect me to believe he would betray it ? " Sasuke asked.

" It's true that he did once fight for the Uchiha Clan , he used to care alot about his clan but then things changed within the Valley of the End " Aizen answered.

" Valley of the End, you mean where he was said to have died ? " Sasuke questioned.

" Yep expect that wasn't the day he died , Madara escaped death barely and was able to survive the battle however his clan sided with Senju and turned against his actions . Madara was outcasted and therefore he was exiled from his clan for many years " Aizen explained to Sasuke.

" You expect me to believe you ? Historical records said he died 64 years ago " Sasuke shouted.

" Does those same documents state Konoha was also involved in the Uchiha Massacre ? " Aizen answered with a question.

" Shut up , how do you even know that ? " Sasuke asked him.

" Here are some of the surviving records from the Uchiha Clan Massacre " Aizen answered as he hands Sasuke the documents highlighting the massacre.

After a few minutes of reading the files, Sasuke his horrified of the truth he learn about the Clan Massacre . He reads further to see Danzō's documented involvement within the Uchiha Clan Massacre.

" This can't be ! Kabuto was telling the truth ! " Sasuke shouted in anger as he clenches his fist .

" Tobi wanted to destroy Konoha in the act of vengeance for what happened in the Valley of the End however the Fourth Hokage gave his life to save the Village from the Nine Tails and sealed that power within his son, Naruto Uzumaki " Aizen explained to Sasuke.

" Naruto ? You mean he's really the 9 tailed Demon Fox ? That explains what i saw back at the Valley of the End " Sasuke asked .

" I see, so you fought the Nine Tails ? But we'll talk about him later, let's continue " Aizen answered.

" Very well then ! " Sasuke replied.

" After Madara failed to massacre the Uchihas, he plotted to resurface . When the Uchiha Clan refused to accept his idea of rebellion, Madara then framed your clan for the Nine Tails attack and even spread false rumors about a coup d'état. He then found a boy who was the most talented and within his clan , that boy was your brother " Aizen explained to the Uchiha survivor .

" Why would my brother want to join sides with Madara ? " Sasuke asked.

" The same reason Danzō helped out, it was all for power " Aizen answered.

" Power ? " Sasuke asked shocked to hear this.

" Danzō wanted the Uchiha's dead so he can steal the Sharraigan to make himself stronger while Itachi did it to gain more power and unlock the Mangekyō Sharingan . Madara gained his vengeance by leaving the clan in ruins for siding with the First Hokage and the higher-ups that discriminated against your clan were happy that their rivals are now gone " Aizen explained to Sasuke.

" THOSE BASTARDS, I'LL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM ! " Sasuke shouted in tears as he breaks down from the stress and pain of learning the truth or the half truth.

" Calm down Sasuke, i know you're trying to deal with alot right now but.. " Aizen said to Sasuke in a calm voice.

" My brother sold my clan out for power, the village which i thought i had firends within planned to kill off my clan from the start even when they grew to trust each other and that Madara caused all of this " Sasuke shouted as he breaks part of the table with his fist.

" See, now you know the truth of what happened " Aizen said to Sasuke.

" Still why are you helping me out ? What are planing to gain and what do you want with me ? " Sasuke asked .

" Because i know what it's like to be alone, to have my family killed off, to be oppressed and persecuted by the people who killed my family . The Soul Society took my family away from me, all i want is vengeance and to change the world by becoming the Soul King " Aizen explained to the Uchiha survivor.

" What do you wish for me to do in exchange of killing my brother with the power you give me ? " Sasuke asked.

" I want you to help me take down Madara Uchiha and create the Ōken " Aizen answered.

" Oken ? " Sasuke asked.

" It's a power needed to break the dimensions of reality and challenge the power of god himself however to create the Ōken , one must use the power of 100,000 souls or more " Aizen answered.

" 100,000 souls ? " Sasuke asked.

" The Ōken can be forged with 100,000 souls and a plot of spirit-enriched land with a radius of half a spirit-mile. The current spirit-enriched land in the real world is Karakura Town but in your world it's Konoha " Aizen explained to Sasuke .

" So you want me to kill everyone in Konoha ? " Sasuke questioned the Ex Captain.

" Yes, well almost everyone . I also want you to capture the 9 Tailed Fox " Aizen answered.

" You mean Naruto ? " Sasuke asked.

" Yes, he'll be key to take on Madara and get payback " Aizen stated.

" I could care less about that , what i care about the most is getting revenge ! " Sasuke replied .

" Don't worry, here's one less person you need to kill " Aizen said to the young Uchiha as he tosses Danzō's severed head at Sasuke.

" That's ... " Sasuke said to Danzō shocked to see him .

" Yeah, that's proof i mean business and i won't go back on my word Sasuke. Just as long as you help me out, i'll help you out " Aizen stated.

" Fine, you got yourself a deal. Konoha is going to pay for everything they have done but first i'll kill Itachi off " Sasuke replied.

" Thanks , i promise to you to restore your clan to their glory by bringing them back to life " Aizen said to Sasuke.

" You don't need to make such lies Aizen , there's no way even you can bring back the dead " Sasuke stated.

" I can't , that's true but i know someone who can ! " Aizen replied as he grabs Danzō's head and carry it back .

" Where are you going ? " Sasuke asked.

" To give you a small demonstration of what i mean by reviving your clan " Aizen answered as he holds the severed head of Danzō and carry it with him.

Meanwhile at the 12th Division Headquarters & Barracks

Ibiki is getting worked upon by Kurotsuchi who is completing her disguise . Ibiki now has green hair and red-eye contacts while wearing ragged green clothes .

" There, just a few more changes and we're done ! " Mayuri said to Ibiki as he takes on a sticker like item.

" What's that within your hand ? " Soifon asked.

" It's a special sticker that gives the optical illusion one has a Hollow Hole. I designed it so well that it would fool even the smartest Arrancars. It's virtually undetectable and gives your Reiatsu a hollow like glow and feel to the disguise to complete the illusion " Mayuri explained to Ibiki.

" This is awesome ! " Ibiki stated as she stares at the fake Hollow hole placed on her abdomen.

" Let's not forget this ! " Mayuri replied as he puts a jawbone-like piece on the left side of her check and then dyes her skin pale.

" What's within this ? " Ibiki asked.

" This jawbone is a special transmitter that allows you to talk with us based on the thoughts on your mind and it links us to any intel you give us. It's state of the art neuro technology . It looks like part of a broken Hollow Mask and shouldn't break your cover " Mayuri explained to Ibiki.

" Typical Kurotsuchi, you're always as cunning as ever ! Yoruichi stated.

" Thank you ! " Mayuri replied.

" Let's get to the mission , we don't have much time yet to rescue Orihime " Soifon stated.

" Right, Nemu open the Garganta ! " Mayuri said to his Vice Captain.

" Okay then ! " Nemu replied as she opens up a Garganta .

Somewhere within the Ninja World

A and his group get a carrier pigeon with a message on it's back . A and Mizukage's team camped out within the forest heading to Konoha.

" It's from Konoha ! " A said to the team .

" What does it read ? " Darui asked .

" It says that Tsunade has awakened from her coma " A answered.

" That's some good news ! " Mei stated.

" It also says that the Tsuchikage and the acting Kazekage are also within Konoha and they have a secret uncovered from Shinigami to show us " A replied.

" What secret could it be ? " Aō asked.

" Whatever it is , it would help us greatly ! " Chōjiro answered.

" C, Darui, make sure Bee gets back to Kumogakure " A said to the two with Killer Bee in handcuffs.

" Ya bro, dis is wack, ya can't keep me in these chains " Killer Bee stated.

" You're in serious trouble for breaking out of the village without permission and causing a nationwide panic, you're in serious trouble with me " A shouted looking at his brother.

" He's got you there. You shouldn't have done all that ! " Darui calmly stated.

" You heard Lord Raikage, let's get going ! " C replied as they walk with Killer Bee.

" Let's not waste any time, let's head to Konoha already " Mei stated as she walks with the Raikage and with her bodyguards while A's bodyguards take B back to Kumogakure.

Meanwhile at Las Noches

Skullak and Orihime are hanging out with each other when they meet Cirucci.

" Skullak, what are you doing with the prisoner out ? " Cirucci asked her lover.

" Aizen gave me permission to do as i wish with her " Skullak answered.

" Don't tell me that you plan to cheat on me with this pretty thing here " Cirucci stated joking around.

" I'll never do that , you're my honey pie ! " Skullak replied as he kisses Cirucci in the mouth surprising Orihime.

" You know i was only kidding honey, you rather chop off your dick than be with another woman " Cirucci responded.

" You two go out ? " Orihime asked.

" No shit sherlock, we wouldn't have kissed if we weren't serious " Cirucci answered.

" Pardon Orihime, she doesn't know the difference between those beastly Hollows and us Arrancars , she's new here " Skullak stated.

" I can tell, she's that human Lord Aizen needs right ? " Cirucci replied.

" You seem like a nice woman ! " Orihime stated.

" Thanks , same here ! " Cirucci replied only for Aizen to walk by tap Orihime on the shoulders.

" I need to talk with you quickly ! " Aizen said to Orihime .

" Fine ! " Orihime begrudgingly replied as she walks with Aizen.

" What are you planning to do ? " Skullak asked .

" Give her a test of her worth , Skullak you should look for some Arrancars and Hollows that could be worthy of my army " Aizen answered.

" Right ! " Skullak replied as he heads out to find new Arrancars.

" What do i do ? " Cirucci asked.

" I have nothing for you at the moment, you could be free to help your lover " Aizen answered.

Konoha

9:00 A.M. Konoha begins to rebuild itself thanks to the efforts of Tsuchikage and the Hokage . Excavators and bulldozers start beginning the construction of sewage and pipes across Konoha. Sakura and Shizune wake up as well as Sai and Kakashi. The skies in Konoha clear up from the smoke blocking it for 5 days.

" How are you Kakashi ? " Shizune said to Kakashi.

" I'm feeling better than yesterday but i'm not going to be back to 100% until Monday " Kakashi answered.

" How's your arm Sai ? " Sakura asked Sai.

" It's feeling alot better than yesterday ! " Sai answered as he stretches out the prosthetic arm on his left hand.

" It seems like the village is slowly returning back to normal every bit by bit " Sakura stated .

" Still it take a while before we return the village to it's former glory " Shizune replied.

Meanwhile Chōza, Shikaku and Inoichi are cleaning up the remaining debris within North Konoha.

" There's still alot of debris to clear up here ! " Shikaku said to his team.

" Not as much as there was before ! " Inoichi stated he removes a large slab of concrete.

" We need to get all this rubble and have it recycled into some building mortar and bricks , we can use all this scrap metal, wood and concrete to help rebuild structure within the village " Chōza replied.

" Thanks to Onoki, we could only worry about the plumbing of this village ? " Shikaku stated.

" I didn't think we could've ever fill this hole up ! " Shikaku replied as they clear up the debris.

Meanwhile at another part of the village. Yamato is busy working on recreating as many trees as possible with a team of 100 water style users within the dried up Naka River .

" Alright guys , let's try filling up this lake ! " Yamato said to the team .

" Right ! " all the men replied as they do hand signs to use their water justu.

" Water Style :Water Wave Justu " Yamato and his men chanted as they all fire a massive wave of water that fills the entire river with 5 feet of water .

" We did it ! " the men shouted in joy as they all suddenly fall to ground out of Chakra exhaustion.

" Take 5 guys , we need a break ! " Yamato commanded as he's out of Chakra as well.

" Right ! " all the men replied as they all rest up.

" It's a good thing the Tsuchikage helped out so much with the construction of Konoha otherwise i would be wasting more Chakra than ever " Yamato said to himself as he's drained of his Chakra and falls to the ground.

Meanwhile at the Hokage palace ,Tsunade is talking with Baki and Onoki about the alliance.

" So it seems like the 5 Kages are almost fully united after many years of conflict " Baki said to the two older Kages.

" Don't think we're friends all of a sudden , this is done strictly out of business " Onoki replied.

" So restoring my village was simply out of business ? " Tsunade asked him.

" Of course it is , i expect some payment out of this Legendary Sucker " Onoki answered.

" You never change Onoki of both scales ! " Tsunade stated.

" Our priority right now should be getting that gate activate and getting to the Soul Society so we can save the Kazekage " Baki stated.

" According to Kakashi , the Shinigami need time to remove the Tailed Beasts. It would take them 3 months for them to be ready, they're most likely holding out on taking Gaara's Shukaku until they capture the 9 Tailed Demon Fox " Tsunade explained to them.

" How long before that teleporting gate would be completed ? " Onoki asked.

" According to the Science and Technology unit of Konoha, it should be done next friday " Tsunade answered.

" This would be the true deciding factor to the war with the Shinigami " Baki replied as they sit and talk about more stuff.

Meanwhile , Kurenai is at the hospital healing from her wounds. Ino is tending to Kurenai while Shikamaru watches and Chōji holds a plate of food.

" How is the baby doing ? " Shikamaru asked.

" The baby is fine , it would make it through thanks to Sakura's last-ditch efforts " Ino answered.

" That's a good thing ! " Kurenai stated while lying in bed.

" Are you okay Kurenai sensei ? " Chōji asked.

" If feeling like i'm about to throw up and i can still feel the pain of the blade cleaving my uterus and stomach but other than that i'm just fine " Kurenai answered as she coughs .

" We failed to protect you again , next time we won't let you down ! " Shikamaru stated.

" Don't blame yourselves, it was my fault for putting the baby in danger ! " Kurenai replied.

" You wouldn't had to protect us if we weren't so weak " Ino stated.

" You two are being hard on yourselves, it's doubtful that even Asuma could beat the guy i struggled to fight " Kurenai replied.

" I guess you have a point ! " Shikamaru responded.

" Want some soup ? " Choji asked.

" Sure thing ! " Kurenai answered.

Meanwhile Rock Lee is outside the hospital excited to hear the news that Tsunade has returned.

" Yes, Yes !YES ! Lady Tsunade has returned ! " Lee said to his sensei.

" Now she can heal up those nasty wounds ! " Gai replied as both of them rush to the hospital.

Inside the hospital Tenten is watching Lee and Gai rush out to Tsunade in embarrassment .

" Damn, those two are constantly training. What a bunch of freaks " Tenten said to her friend.

" I know , it's quite embarrassing ! " Neji replied.

" Thanks for saving my life back there , i owe you big time " Tenten stated as she feels on Neji's face.

" Don't thank me, it' s just my job ! " Neji replied with a blush.

Meanwhile Naruto is at the hospital waiting for Hinata to wake up . Hinata is in the hospital with Naruto tending to her every need after learning about her feelings.

" Hinata , i'm not going to leave your side, not after what you said before yesterday " Naruto said to Hinata as he thinks back to the past.

Yesterday

" What are you doing Hinata ? That won't be enough to defeat him " Naruto stated.

" I just wanted to walk with you... I was always chasing you... Wanting to overtake you.. I wanted to be with you " Hinata explained to Naruto.

" What do you mean be with me ? " Naruto asked as Hinata uses a Chakra enhanced chop to shatter Grimmjow's sealed Zanpakutō in half and remove the fragment out of Naruto's hand.

" I'm not afraid of dying if it means protecting you ! Your smile saved me ! You changed me " Hinata stated as she takes out some bandages and start to put it around Naruto's hand and puts ointment on it.

" Hinata, i don't get it . Why care for me this much ? " Naruto asked Hinata.

" Naruto `i got something to say to you !" Hinata answered as she holds onto his injured hand.

" What is it Hinata ? " Naruto questioned the purple haired Shinobi only for her right hand to grab his left check and she inches her face closer to him.

" I love you Naruto Uzumaki ! " Hinata replied as she kisses Naruto in the mouth for the first time of her life.

" This feeling, it feels stronger than anything i experienced. Not only does it feel like my body is being healed up but my soul as well, 16 years of weights anchoring me down are being uplifted. I feel completed " Naruto said to himself as he holds on to Hinata.

Present Day

Hinata wakes up and grabs Naruto's face.

" Naruto kun ! " Hinata said to Naruto.

" You're awake ? " Naruto asked.

" Of course i am, i just more out of this bed for a while " Hinata answered.

" Anything you need ? " Naruto asked.

" Nothing right now, i have everything i need here ! " Hinata replied as she kisses Naruto in the mouth.

Back at Las Noches

Orihime stands next to the severed head of Danzō placed on the floor with Aizen and Sasuke observing the feat.

" Who is that ? " Sasuke asked.

" That's my secret weapon right there , Orihime Inoue. She'll be the one to revive your entire clan once you do as i say " Aizen answered.

" You can't be serious , there's no need to lie to me " Sasuke said to Aizen.

" Orihime revive him ! " Aizen said to Orihime with intimidating undertone to his calm voice.

" Right ! " Orihime replied as she forms a shield around Danzō's severed head.

" There's no way any form of Medical Ninjustu could bring back a decapitated victim, not even the Legendary Sannin Tsunade could bring him back " Sasuke stated .

" Sōten Kisshun (双天帰盾, Twin Sacred Return Shield) I reject " Orihime said in a depressed tone as she's forced to revive Danzō . Sasuke watches as Danzō's entire body is reformed and he's alive again without the Sharingans in his arms or right eye.

" What the hell ? I'm alive again ! " Danzō said to himself as he looks at his body reformed.

" Impossible, you brought him back to life !" Sasuke shouted shocked to see him alive .

" Good job Orihime, you can leave now ! " Aizen stated.

" Right ! " Orihime replied as she leaves the area .

" Sasuke ! What the hell ? Where am i ? " Danzō asked only to have his hands blinded down with Bakudō # 63 from Aizen.

" You're within my fortress , Las Noches ! " Aizen answered.

" So you're the one who killed my clan ? " Sasuke questioned the former Kage .

" Sasuke , so you're on the side of the Shinigami ? I should've known this would've happened " Danzō said to the Uchiha survivor as he stares at him while unable to move.

" What do you know about the Uchiha Clan Massacre ? " Sasuke asked Danzō.

" It's a long story kid ! " Danzō answered.

" Is it true that you and the leaders of Konoha were the ones who ordered Itachi to kill my family ? " Sasuke asked Danzō.

" Yes it's true , we did order your clan to get destroyed! " Danzō answered.

" Why ? WHY DID YOU DO THAT ? " Sasuke shouted as he grabs Danzō by his neck with his right arm.

" URRGH ! " Danzō shouted in pain as he struggles to breath.

" ANSWER ME ! " Sasuke shouted as he increases his grip on Danzō's neck.

" I thought he was a better man than that . You must of spilled the beans to Sasuke before i died " Danzō answered.

" I didn't tell him everything, if anything bringing you back to life was all part of my plan ! " Aizen replied.

" Very well Sasuke, might as well tell you the truth . Itachi wanted you to believe that the Uchiha clan was something Konohagakure was proud of . The Uchiha's were a threat to the village in reality and weren't listening to us. To avoid a civil war that would weakened Konoha, we had no choice " Danzō explained to Sasuke.

" So ... it's true then. Konoha did maracare my people and it was under orders from both ANBU and the Hokage ? You sacrifice my clan for your idea of peace ? " Sasuke asked Danzō.

" Get over it . Self sacrifice .. that's the definition of a true Ninja. Scorning the sun to work in the shadows , that's the life of a ninja . Many ninjas have died in exchange for the greater good, ideas like treating people equally will not make the world go round . Itachi killed his clan off and people like that are able to maintain the peace. You have yet to understand just how ... " Danzō explained to Sasuke only to see lighting glow around Sasuke's hand and his head explodes.

" Don't you ever speak to me about the clan or Itachi ! " Saskue replied as he crushes Danzō's skull into a million pieces.

" Looks like he's told us everything ! " Aizen said to Sasuke.

" So it is true, you can bring back the dead ! " Sasuke stated.

" Like i said, i never lie about stuff like that however Orihime needs more power in order to revive the entire clan. Make the Oken out of Konoha and your clan would be restored " Aizen said to Sasuke.

" Hmm, you don't need to promise me anything. I would be happy enough to burn down Konoha myself without your promise but given i can restore the clan to it's former glory, i accept your deal now give me the power " Sasuke replied.

" Very well then , let's begin your Hollowification ! " Aizen said to Sasuke as he takes out the Hōgyoku .

Meanwhile at Karakura Hospital

Chad is in the hospital thinking about what happened yesterday .

" It's amazing how far i have to go to get stronger ! " Chad said to himself as he flashback to the past.

Yesterday

" La Muerte ( Spanish for The Death ) " Chad answered as he hit's Kakuzu directly with his power as the punch creates an explosion leveling everything within a 2,000 foot radius, destroying what's left of the park . The smoke clears up to reveal a skull-shape crater but Kakuzu is still standing unfazed despite being hit directly.

" Is that all ? " Kakuzu asked Chad.

" Impossible, the strike failed! " Chad stated .

" Now it's my turn! " Kakuzu replied as he hardens his fist starts to turn black and then goes to punch Chad. " Doton: Domu(土遁・土矛Earth Style: Iron Skin) " Kakuzu chanted as he effortlessly punches through Chad's Gigante Amable El Escudo and tearing his right arm into 3 pieces splitting from the arm socket to elbow and the elbow to wrist with the right hand being the right piece.

" ARRGGGH ! " Chad screamed in pain as he falls to the ground with Kakuzu standing there.

" I'm assuming this is your limit human , that tickled my Iron Skin " Kakuzu said to Chad.

" Damn it ! " Chad replied as he depowers back to his normal human state.

" You humans are so fragile in this world compared to use Shinobi , hand over that coin " Kakuzu said to Chad .

Present Day

" I need to get better and get stronger, so i can rescue my friend Orihime " Chad said to himself only to see Uryū there.

" How's your arm doing ? " Uryū asked.

" Fine, it still needs time to recover my Reiatsu " Chad answered.

" My power is worn out, i never came this close to dying " Uryū stated.

" Worse Orihime has been kidnapped by the enemy. At our current rate, we have no chance of getting her back " Chad replied.

" I agree with you there, we need to wait until our bodies can recover before we push them past our limits " Uryū stated.

" But i wonder who's going to train me ? " Chad asked.

Meanwhile at Kisuke's shop

Kisuke is on the phone with Yoruichi talking to him.

" So is everything in place ? " Kisuke asked .

" Yeah , Ibiki is right on cue ! " Yoruichi answered.

" Good , thanks to Kurotsuchi, i can see everything Ibiki can with the Nano cameras, we can map out the entire fortress and we can mount the second phrase of our plan together " Kisuke stated.

" Good , this mission is of vital importance ! " Yoruichi replied.

Hueco Mundo

10:00 P.M. Ibiki walks around disguised as an Arrancar . Ibiki as an Arrancar is wearing green rags , one in the form of a blouse showing her belly and the other half a miniskirt with her Zanpakutō tied to a red string as a makeshift holder to match her petite body . She has long, wavy green hair , red eyes , pale skin with a jawbone like mask on the left side of her check and a hollow hole within her abdomen.

" So this is Hueco Mundo ? What a bleak looking place " Ibiki said to herself as she wanders the desert wasteland until she bumps into Skullak.

" You seem to be lost there Arrancar " Skullak said to Ibiki.

" That hole and mask, you're like me " Ibiki said to the brown-haired Arrancar.

" Yes, i'm an Arrancar created by natural causes unlike most Arrancars. Want to follow me ? I know people who are just like you " Skullak asked Ibiki.

" Sure " Ibiki answered as she grabs his hand and they walk together.

" By the way, do you know your name ? " Skullak asked.

" My name is Luna Sayuri " Ibiki answered going by her mission name .

Back at Las Noches

Sasuke is surrounded by an Dark blue aura as he now has a Hollow Hole at his abdomen . Sasuke sees a mask appear over his face which looks similar to Ichigo's but without the mouth part . Sasuke then removes the mask and his Hollow hole disappears.

" Excellent , your strength and power has increased tenfold " Aizen said to Sasuke .

" Thanks ! " Sasuke replied as he feels power rushing through him.

" How does it feel to have this much power ? " Aizen asked Sasuke.

" I never felt more alive ! " Sasuke answered.

" Now i need to do a test on how well you adapt to this new power " Aizen stated.

" A test ? " Sasuke asked.

" Yes, a test to see if your worthy of the power you have been given . All newly created Arrancars are given a test to survive Menos Forest until your get use to being an Arrancar . It's an test on mental strength, intelligence, adaption, strength, power, speed and durability. The problem is that your overall strength is too high for do this test yet you still need to learn basic control of your hollow powers " Aizen explained to Sasuke.

" So what do you propose what we should do ? " Sasuke asked.

" Put this on " Aizen answered as he puts on a bracelet on Sasuke which stops his Chakra.

" What is this ? " Sasuke asked.

" This is a special seal meant to restrict the Chakra within your body and separate it from the Hollow powers within you. Your test is to gain the full control of this Hollow power of yours " Aizen explained to Sasuke.

" I see, so i have to do this without my old powers ? I always like a challenge " Sasuke stated.

" Good don't disappoint me . but allow me to explain your current power level with the bracelet on " Aizen replied.

" Okay then ! " Sasuke responded.

" Currently it's at 50 RYK without your Chakra, when your Hollow powers reach the same level as your base of power of 50,000 RYK , that power would fuse together and your power would jump to 500,000 RYK. Right now, your power is only 50,050 RYK combined " Aizen explained to Sasuke.

" I see, that doesn't sound like alot of power . Trust me i plan to grow my power as soon as possible " Sasuke replied.

" Allow me to take you to where you need to go " Aizen said to Sasuke as he uses Kido to teleport them away to the Menos forest .

The forest is filled with large trees made of a silvery quartz substance. These trees extend to the surface and dot the landscape of the desert in Hueco Mundo.

" These trees are massive ! " Sasuke said to Aizen.

" Each of these trees are over thousands of feet high and are made of dense quartz which is much denser than wood . Hollows of all types reside within this forest. With your power restricted, you can only hope to fight normal Hollows " Aizen stated.

" Tell me more about these Hollows ? " Sasuke asked him .

" There are several classes of Hollows. Ordinary Hollows are between 10 to 10 RYK, they are almost entirely mindless . Then there are the Menos Grande which consist of hundreds of normal Hollows into one giant mindless beast, they're power averages between 100 RYK to 500 RYK, then there are the Adjuchas which have more humanoid forms and are much more intelligent but still have beast like forms. There power is between 500 RYK and 5,000 RYK " Aizen explained to Sasuke.

" So what do i do when i reach past 5,000 RYK ? " Sasuke asked.

" You fight the Guardian of Menos Forest , Masuo Amada " Aizen answered.

" Masuo Amada ? " Sasuke asked.

" He's the most powerful Hollow in Menos Forest. He ruled the forest for over 250 years and remains the most powerful non Vasto Lorde Espada to ever exist . It would several Vice Captains to beat him " Aizen explained to Sasuke.

" So is he like the evaluator of your Arrancar Army ? " Sasuke asked.

" Yes, all Arrancars below the rank of the Espada have to get past him in order to become Números within the Arrancar army. The weak are usually killed or not allowed to be promoted to Números or Fracción " Aizen answered.

" So it seems the promotion of your ranks is no different from how Konoha does the Chūnin exams ? " Sasuke questioned the former Captain.

" You're pretty smart. To get promoted within my army, you must pass the survival test or defeat a Números or Fracción to stand at the top " Aizen stated.

" I see, let's get this over and done with ! " Sasuke replied as he draws out his sword.

" One more thing to warn you about ! " Aizen said to Sasuke.

" What is it Aizen ? " Sasuke asked.

" Beware of the one known as the Hollow Reaper " Aizen answered.

" Hollow Reaper ? " Sasuke asked.

" He's a Shinigami who was rumored to be a former Vice Captain 200 years ago , few have survived him in the past and the ones who did survive a direct battle went on to become the Espadas. In the last 200 years, he managed to kill 73,000 Adjuchas, 730,000 Gillians and 7,300,000 normal hollows . He was even known to have killed off 2,400 Arrancar who came into this test, he's almost Captain level in power " Aizen explained to Sasuke.

" That sounds dangerous, what does he look like ? " Sasuke asked.

" He wears the standard Shinigami uniform, in ragged condition and without any footwear, with a fur coat draped over himself. The coat consists of several Hollow masks adorned on it, which he utilizes in a variety of ways. The one resembling a gazelle's skull which he wears over his face is the mask belonging to the Hollow that killed his best friend. He uses the rest to block Hollow attacks, and carries one of them like a shield during battles " Aizen explained to Sasuke.

" What do i do if i see him ? " Sasuke asked.

" You pretend to be a human and suppress your powers. You have the most distinct edge in maintain a full human form which gives you the edge in survival . Once you get powerful enough to defeat the Guardian of Menos Forest , Masuo Amada , i want you to find and kill the Hollow Reaper " Aizen answered.

" Why kill him off ? " Sasuke asked.

" He's a nuisance to me and the Arrancar army and i fear me might get strong enough to challenge and ambush the Espadas like he has been doing with my Arrancar in the past 40 years . If you defeat him and kill him, you'll prove worthy of being on top with me " Aizen explained to Sasuke.

" Very well then , i'll do it ! " Sasuke stated.

" Good luck with that ! " Aizen responded as he teleports away.

Meanwhile at Kurosaki Clinic

Isshin opens the door slowly to tap Ichigo on his shoulder .

" Ichigo, wake up ! " Isshin said to Ichigo.

" I'm not in the mood right now ! " Ichigo replied depressed as he wakes up with dried tears around his eyes.

" Listen i know you're still feeling down but i know what would cheer you up " Isshin stated .

" What ? " Ichigo asked.

" We're going to hang out together as a family ! " Isshin answered.

" Fine, might as well come along and try to forget Orihime !" Ichigo stated.

" Now that's the spirit ! " Isshin replied as he punches his son on the shoulder.

" Ouch, Dad easy with the punches ! " Ichigo shouted screaming in pain.

" Sorry son ! " Isshin replied.

" Let's get going already ! " Ichigo responded as he gets ready to leave.

" Let's just hope things with Ichigo calm down and he calms down in case he needs it " Isshin said to himself as he hopes his son would cheer up.

Meanwhile at Keigo's House

Keigo sees Ikkaku and Yumichika waking up from their rest. Keigo is the one to retain his memories.

" So what's going on here ? Who were those people who attacked yesterday ? " Keigo asked.

" Those are none of your concern, those were Shinobi " Yumichika answered.

" It's strange that the memory replacements failed on you " Ikkaku stated.

" I know, no one remembers what happened yesterday but me ! " Keigo replied.

" Maybe it has to do with the Bount incident. You were given a Reiatsu transplant from Ichigo's body which restored your life force " Yumichika explained to Keigo.

" It's best it stays that way , your sister hasn't harassed me at all and is taking this well " Ikkaku stated.

" It sucks all this is happening ! " Keigo replied.

" We're sorry for interfering with your lives, once Monday occurs , we would never be seen again " Yumichika said to Keigo .

" I kinda of miss you guys , still i wonder if there is another person who can see spirits like me " Keigo stated .

Meanwhile around Karakura Town

Tatsuki runs around Downtown Karakura Town looking for Orihime. Tatsuki walks around looking for her.

" Orihime where are you ? " Tatsuki shouted as she runs around downtown Karakura Town when she bumps into Chizuru.

" Tatsuki ! " Chizuru said to the raven haired teen.

" What are you doing here ? " Tatsuki asked Chizuru.

" I'm looking for Orihime ! " Chizuru answered.

" Same here ! " Tatsuki stated.

" It's amazing how fast this town was fixed after what happened yesterday ! " Chizuru replied.

" Wait, you remember what happened as well ? " Tatsuki asked Chizuru.

" How can i forget ? It was a terrifying experience .We've all almost died and yet it seems no one i know remembers a thing " Chizuru answered.

" I know how you feel , this is just too freaky . I can't begin to understand what the hell is going on with this world let alone do anything to stop it . It seems those guys who attacked here yesterday must of took Orihime with them " Tatsuki stated.

" Shit, there's nothing we can do if that's the case " Chizuru replied.

Meanwhile at Las Noches

Orihime is walking by herself when she encounters both Loly and Menoly who are both mad at her .

" Well, well look at what we got here " Loly said to her friend.

" Looks like the princess is all by herself ! " Menoly replied as both of them laugh.

" Who are you two ? " Orihime asked.

" Looks like your one privileged prisoner. You get to roam around Las Noches freely and you have such a fancy room " Loly explained to Orihime.

" Lord Aizen must really like you alot " Menoly stated as she stares angrily at Orihime.

" Isn't that the truth princess ? You're the lady of the hour ! " Loly replied.

" Everybody is talking about you, it's amazing that all the Espadas find you so valuable " Menoly said to Orihime.

" I don't want to be here, i want to go home. I care nothing about you people " Orihime stated.

" You people ? Tell me Orihime , do you think that we should bow down to you ? You think you're special " Loly asked her as she walks up to Orihime.

" Well no offense but i wasn't just violently abducted from my home because of my good looks " Orihime answered with defiance.

" What was that ? You think you're better than me ? " Loly shouted only for Orihime to get into her face.

" Listen you lowly pissant, i'm in a bad mood today , i don't need some insecure bitch up in my face " Orihime answered.

" Let me give you a bit of advice Orihime " Loly stated as she grabs Orihime and throws her 50 feet towards Loly with ease.

" Bitch ! " Orihime shouted.

" Don't think your anything special , you're just a human , you don't deserve at Lord Aizen's side " Loly shouted as she goes to step on Orihime's head but Orihime gets up and kicks her in the face.

" Like i want to be with that douchebag ! " Orihime replied.

" What was that ? How dare you speak badly of Lord Aizen ? Cut the attitude " Loly shouted as she slaps Orihime in the face.

" I'm warning you two , leave her now or Aizen would need to find new Números to replace the two dumb dead bitches who suddenly died on duty . Aizen wouldn't dare hurt me but he could care less about two ugly shanks such as yourself " Orihime explained to the two.

" You Bitch ! " Loly replied as she slaps Orihime aside 15 feet .

" You're pathetic and weak " Menoly said to Orihime.

" What do you expect Menoly, there's no way a mere human like her can equal us Arrancars " Loly stated only to be punched in the face by Orihime and her nose gets busted open.

" Pathetic, you Arrancars are nothing special. Even a weak human like me is better than you , not to mention much hotter than you " Orihime replied.

" Loly, don't let her talk shit about you " Menoly shouted.

" I must admit, you got a good right hook , Menoly help me out here " Loly said to her partner.

" You think you two can bully me ? I been through worse shit in the last 3 months alone than a bunch of second-rate Arrancars and i'm terribly pissed off now . I warn you two not to anger me , you won't like me when i'm angry " Orihime stated.

" So you think you can beat us ? " Loly asked.

" Don't start crying when we beat you up " Menoly answered.

" Very well then " Orihime replied as she uses Shunpo and punches Loly in the stomach causing her to cough up blood.

" ARRGH ! " Loly shouted in pain as she falls to the ground.

" Loly, you bitch " Menloy shouted as she takes out a dagger and charge at Orihime but Orihime dodges it and grabs her arm

" You pussy bitch, can't win a fight without a weapon ? " Orihime shouted as she twist and breaks Menoly's right arm.

" ARRGH! Bitch " Menoly screamed in pain then she kicks Menoly in the face.

Orihime then jumps on top of Loly and then punches her repeatedly on the ground.

" You bitches think you can bully me ? I been bullied ever since i was a child, you think i have it good ? I was almost raped by my own father, my brother died on me and i was left to survive on my own , my mother was a whore and i was bullied by cunts like you. You don't understand me at all " Orihime shouted as he repeatedly punches Loly causing her face to get busted open.

" ARRGHUGHGRH ! " Loly shouted as she coughs up blood .

" I'll save you Loly ! " Menoly stated as she charges at Orihime with a Cero within her hand shaped like a Rasengan.

" Shiten Kōshun (四天抗盾, Shield of Four Heavens' Resistance) " Orihime chanted as she sends Menoly flying a wall with her own Cero.

" MENOLY " Loly shouted as she then sees dagger like Zanpakuto fall down near her.

" What the hell Orihime ? This isn't like you at all " Tsubaki shouted.

" I don't care, these people think they can kidnap me and push me around ? I may not be able to fight the Espadas or Aizen but i'll sure as hell not going to let myself get pushed around by some low-level bitch " Orihime explained to Tsubaki as she grabs Loly by the neck.

" ARRRGUCK ! " Loly shouted as Orihime starts to strangle Loly.

" I'm tired of being pushed around, there must be punishment for stealing me from the man i love and i'm going to use you to send Aizen a message not to fuck with me " Orihime explained to Loly as she's about to strangled .

" No stop... Don't you come near me ... What are you going to do ? Get away from ne , NO! " Loly shouted only for Orihime to be stopped by Cirucci.

" That's enough you guys ,Orihime what the hell are you doing to my Fracción ? " Cirucci shouted.

" These bitches deserved it, they came out trying to assault me but then i lost control and i..i. " Orihime stated as she starts to cry after snapping out of her fit of rage.

" Calm down, you must miss your family and friends, still i didn't think you had it in you to attack those two " Cirucci said to Orihime.

" I'm sorry, i didn't know what got into me . It's when i fight sometime, i lose part of myself i become more violent " Orihime stated.

" That's okay, just please clean up the mess around here. These two we're just mad that they don't get Aizen attention but i guess they know better to mess with someone like you " Cirucci replied.

" Sorry about this ! " Orihime said to Loly who's bleeding from her face.

" UGGRCH... " Loly shouted as she's about to die.

" Sōten Kisshun (双天帰盾, Twin Sacred Return Shield) " Orihime chanted as she heals both Loly and Menoly from near death.

" What's going on ? " Loly asked as she is restored of all her wounds and then sees Orihime and backs away from her in fear while Menoly wakes up

" I'm alive... I thought i was dead for sure! " Menoly said to herself as she gets back up while seeing Loly crying.

" NO WAY ! IMPOSSIBLE ! What are you ? You're a monster " Loly shouted only to be grabbed by Orihme.

" I'm sorry for what i done, it's just that i was very upset and i snapped " Orihime stated.

" What's with her ? One second she's trying to kill me and the next she's trying to be my friend " Loly said to herself.

" Okay , now you girls kiss and makeup ! " Cirucci stated.

" Okay ! " Menoly replied as she's about to kiss Orihime only for all of them to look at Menoly.

" Menoly " Loly said to her looking at her with a disturbed look on her face.

" I'm just kidding girls ! " Menoly replied.

" Now that incident is over, you girls are going to hang out with me and behave otherwise i'll have to beat you two to shape " Cirucci stated as she takes out a whip.

" Fine. Besides after what happened to us, we won't try to anger her again " Menoly replied while holding on her neck.

Meanwhile at Las Noches Throne Room

Ibiki is brought to Aizen under her Arrancar disguise from Skullak while he's playing chess with Gin .

" Ya beat me again Aizen ! " Gin said to Aizen .

" That's 20 to 0 Gin, i keep telling you that i'm virtually undefeated in chess. The only one who beaten me in this game is Kisuke and that was once. Of the all the 876,000 chess games i played, i only lost 805 times " Aizen replied.

" Lord Aizen, i found an Naturally created Arrancar within Las Noches " Skullak said to Aizen .

" So you must be the Aizen guy i heard about from all the Adjuchas down within Menos Forest and throughout Hueco Mundo " Ibiki said to Aizen acting as an Arrancar.

" You're quite the beauty miss ! " Gin stated .

" I agree, Skullak you have yourself a fine catch ! " Aizen replied as he walks up to her and feels on her face.

" So this is Aizen in the flesh ? He looks more handsome than i thought ? " Ibiki said to herself .

" What's your name sweetie ? " Aizen asked the fake Arrancar.

" My name is Luna Sayuri !" Ibiki answered .

" I see, you have good Reiatsu and you're quite beautiful, perhaps you would serve well in the battledome " Aizen said to Ibiki.

" Battledome ? " Ibiki asked .

" You think you could walk in and just be part of the ranks ? You must fight for the position of power. There is one available spot right now though and that's the number # 45th " Aizen explained to her.

" I see, i have to go through initiation . If i do this, then i can have an easier time spying from within the ranks " Ibiki said to herself as she stands there in thought.

" Somethings wrong ? " Aizen asked.

" No , nothing . I accept the challenge , who's my foe ? " Ibiki answered with a question.

" You have to defeat a long reigning champion within the battledome . Arrancar #966 Buroru for the spot " Aizen stated.

" I see, very well then ! " Ibiki replied as she walks with Skullak to the battledome.

" So you finally made contact with Aizen ?" Kisuke asked Ibiki within her head through her jawbone neuro communication

" Yep . Problem is that i have to fight an Arrancar without the use of Hakuda, Kidō or my Shikai , i don't think i could take one an Arrancar without Shikai " Ibiki answered.

" Remember, it's just a low level Arrancar. There 3rd seat at most , you can handle the Arrancar ,especially one as low as #966 " Yoruichi stated.

" Just remember the training " Soifon replied.

" Don't worry , i'm not to let you guys down " Ibiki responded.

Meanwhile at the ruins of the Third Training Ground ruins

Kakashi is at the training ground which has been reduced to a barren wasteland when he sees Anko return from the trip worn out.

" Anko, you returned back !" Kakashi said to Anko.

" Boy that was too close Kakashi, thanks for the save with that item " Anko stated as she kisses her lover in the mouth.

" I knew Root would try something with you ! " Kakashi replied.

" I heard rumors that Danzō kicked the bucket ! " Anko said to her lover.

" Yes , the Shinigami killed him off but Tsunade came back from her coma " Kakashi explained to Anko.

" I see, things are really getting bad ! " Anko stated.

" I have a bad feeling things are going to go from bad to worse ! " Kakashi replied.

Meanwhile at the Hokage Palace

Tsunade is about to leave to the capital with Baki and Onoki with her when she encounters Lee and Gai.

" What are you two doing here ? " Tsunade asked the two.

" Lee got badly injured in a fight with the Shinobi " Gai answered .

" I don't have the time for that right now, i'll look into that later " Tsunade stated.

" Why ? " Gai asked.

" I need to talk business with the Daimyō and reclaim my title as Hokage " Tsunade answered.

" I see, hopefully when you get back you can fix Lee ! " Gai stated.

" Don't worry, once i return as Hokage. I'll resume all active duties as the Hokage of this village " Tsunade replied as she walks with Baki and Onoki to the capital.

Back at Las Noches

Cirucci and Orihime are walking around aside with Menoly and Loly who are becoming more comfortable around Orihime.

" I gotta give you credit Orihime, you're not bad for a princess " Loly said to Orihime.

" I'm sorry for what i did to you girls, there was no excuse for my actions! " Orihime replied.

" Don't apologize so much , you proved that your tough. I can see why lord Aizen wants you so much " Menoly stated.

" I still don't understand why you girls are so crazy for him, he's an asshole " Orihime stated.

" How dare you insult Lord Aizen ? He's the greatest, most handsome man within the world " Loly shouted.

" He saved our lives before back when we were Adjuchas and made us Arrancars, he's even done stuff with us . He's a god " Menoly stated.

" Still, don't you two think it's childish to be obsessed with him this much ? " Orihime asked them.

" I agree, you two have more of a mind than that ! " Cirucci replied.

" But ..! " Loly stated.

" Just look at you two, you were going to kill me over a man who you guys can't possibly share with each other. You both claim to love him right ? But which one of you two love him more ? " Orihime asked.

" I love Aizen more ! " Both Menoly and Loly answered.

" See my point , it's impossible to share a soulmate . You should look for someone besides him even if Aizen was a good guy " Orihime stated.

" Damn it , you're right! " Menoly and Loly replied as they look at her.

" That was very mature of you to say Orihime " Cirucci said Orihime .

" Thanks !" Orihime replied.

Suddenly Skullak appear and goes to talk with the gang .

" Hey guys ! " Skullak said to the gang.

" Skullak sensei ! " both Menoly and Loly stated.

" Quit drooling you two, he's mine ! " Cirucci replied as she hugs her lover.

" There's a battle within the battledome that i would like to take you guys to see " Skullak stated.

" What's the big deal ? " Cirucci asked.

" She's an naturally born Arrancar " Skullak answered.

Meanwhile at Menos Forest

Sasuke is within Menos Forest walking around the forest looking for food .

" Boy this forest is like dark maze ,it all looks the same . I'm more likely to die of boredom than from these hollows " Sasuke said to himself as he roams around the forest .

Suddenly 5 normal Hollows appear and come towards Sasuke .

" Well , well Look at that human there !" said a bull like hollow.

" Looks like a Delicious plus wandered here ! " said another hollow.

" Looks like we have a tasty soul ! " the hollow stated.

" And he's sexy as hell ! " the other hollow replied.

" I see, i got some low-level Hollows to fight. I guess i need to start with the lowest tier first " Sasuke said to the Hollows.

" Who are you calling low tier ? " all the Hollows shouted.

" Bring it on ! " Sasuke replied as he charges at them.

Sasuke charges at the bull hollow and clashes his blade with his fist but the bull loses his arm and Sasuke stabs him in the head. The bird like hollow then goes to peck at Sasuke but Sasuke slashes through it's beck and cut it's head off in half . Sasuke then dodges a blow from a spider Hollow and uses his swordsmanship to slash it's legs off and stab it in the head . The gorilla Hollow punches Sasuke from behind knocking him into a pile of rocks.

" Hahaha, not so high and mighty now are you ? " the Gorilla Hollow roared as he bangs his chest.

" Damn, this limiter has made me far weaker than before. A hit like that wouldn't of hurt me so much " Sasuke said to himself as he has a light bruise on his chest

" I got the handsome hunk now ! " said a green tentacle Hollow as it extends it's tentacles out to grab Sasuke but Sasuke cuts the tentacles up to pieces .

" Even if i could be hurt by such low-level attacks, none of your creatures have the skill needed to beat me " Sasuke replied as he stabs the hollow through the eye and cuts the creature in half.

" Try taking me on ! " said a gorilla Hollow as it goes to punch Sasuke but the Uchiha survivor goes on it's arm and runs up it and stabs him in the neck causing him to fall.

" Looks like i passed that test with flying colors. These normal Hollows are too easy. I might not speed or power i'm used to but my skills with swords don't change so killing these creatures are child's play . I guess i'll use their corpses as Food " Sasuke said to himself as he starts to eat the Hollows.

Las Noches Battledome

11:00 A.M. Ibiki walks into the battle arena which resembles a WWE arena where hundreds of Hollows and Arrancars watching the fight in front row with Aizen watching from the balcony of the arena with Gin and Tōusen.

" So we get to see how powerful an Natural Arrancar can be without the Hōgyoku ? " Gin asked Aizen.

" It's been a long while since we seen natural Arrancars within Hueco Mundo " Tōusen answered.

" Agreed , it should refreshing to see what's she's capable of doing " Aizen replied as he watches from his throne.

Meanwhile within the crowd , Orihime watches with Skullak , Cirucci ,Menoly and Loly .

" So i hear that a Naturally created Arrancar is fighting within the ring today " Cirucci said to the group.

" Naturally created Arrancars ? " Orihime asked .

" Yes , Arrancars aren't just created from the Hōgyoku, they're also created naturally when one Hollow becomes so powerful that it can break it's mask and maintain the power of both Shinigami and Hollows. I'm one of those rare Arrancars that were created this way " Skullak explained to Orihime.

" Shssh guys, the fight is starting ! " Cirucci stated.

" Right ! " both Menoly and Loly replied.

Meanwhile Ibiki walks into the ring prepared to actually fight her opponent for the # 45th Arrancar title. Meanwhile from ringside two commentators with a glass box around them are talking to the audience.

" Welcome to Las Noches Wrestling Alliance , i'm Tim Crawler on commentary for Perry Cross " said an old Arrancar with a cowboy hat with a long mustache and beard resembling an old biker speaking within a cowboy like dialect.

" And i'm Perry Cross here for today's addition to the LNWA . Today we're going to see a good performance from the newly acquired Arrancar which is said to be naturally created against the reigning champion within LNWA. Arrancar #966 Buroru for the spot of Arrancar # 45 " said a young male Arrancar that looks like an Elvis impersonator wearing an outfit similar to Elvis and has a crown on his head speaking with a Cajun dialect.

" It seems like the new girl is going to fight the champion, this is going to be a snobberknocker " Tim said to the crowd.

" All of this seems strange ! " Ibiki said to herself.

" I never thought Aizen would be a fan of professional Wrestling" Kisuke said to Ibiki though the machine.

" It's trashy if you ask me , i'm disappointed that Aizen would even endorse this sport ! " Soifon stated.

" You weren't saying that when we wrestled nude together covered in oil the other day! " Yoruichi stated.

" Lady Yoruichi, now isn't the time for bedroom talk ! " Soifon replied.

" So Ibiki are you ready to do this ? " Kisuke asked.

" I trained my life to do missions like this , how hard can this one be ? " Ibiki answered to herself as her opponent comes out.

The Arrancar reveals himself to be a muscular man with red eyes and short black hair in a military style. He's wearing a white military style uniform and on both sides of his left wrist are two claw like blades that can be folded back. His mask remains are on his back and look like two cannons that appear over his shoulders. His Zanpakutō take the form of a massive spiked covered hammer which is strapped to his back.

" And in this corner, weighing 340 lbs of pure Grade A muscle and over 7 feet tall , the undefeated Champion for over 3 years Arrancar #966 Buroru " the announcer said to the audience as they cheer him on.

" Where's my opponent ? I want to crush him into the ground. I'm hungry for battle " Buroru shouted as he bangs on his chest like a caveman .

" Damn, this is my opponent. Aizen sure likes making things difficult for me " Ibiki said to herself as she stands there watching her.

" That's my foe ? Hahahahahaha! Did you think a puny little girl could beat a real manly man like me ? I'm way too strong and big for you . Let me show you why i'm called Iron Muscles" Buroru shouted as he rips his shirt revealing his muscular body that could give Alex Armstrong a run for his money .

" Shit , he's more chliesed than a statue " Kisuke said to Ibiki.

" Yum , i like a guy with such a muscular body. I wonder if he has muscles on his cock ? " Yoruichi asked.

" Yoruichi this is no time for jokes " Soifon shouted.

" Geez lighten up Soifon , can't a woman marvel at such a fine body ? " Yoruichi asked.

" This is going to be over in an instant ! " Buroru shouted as he comes down at Ibiki with a hammerfist strike but the fake Arrancar dodged the blow.

" Looks like the mighty Buroru starts the battle with a right-handed hammerfist but the young green haired youth doges the attack " Tim said to the audience .

" Hopefully he doesn't end up leveling the ring like he did last time " Perry replied as they see Ibiki go for her attack.

" Great, his strength is incredible, if i'm hit by those blows, i'm in serious trouble " Ibiki said to herself as she comes at the Arrancar.

" Think ya can hit me ? Think again " Buroru shouted as he goes to grab her but she uses a fake Sonido to appear and kick him in the face but it barely flinched the brute and only hurts Ibiki's leg.

" Damn, he's hard as a rock ! " Ibiki said to herself as she tires to ignore the pain.

" It seems like Ibiki tried to hit Buroru with a powerful roundhouse kick but the kick failed to damage the Iron Muscles on Buroru " Tim said to the crowd.

" Take this ! " Buroru shouted as he hits her with a clothesline which sends the petite Arrancar flying away but she regains her footing by using Reishi to keep herself standing within the air above the ring.

" Damn, that blow hurt alot ! " Ibiki said to herself as she gets back up.

Buroru jumps to attack her and goes to punch her while she's outside hovering over the floor with a flying punch but Ibiki counters the blow and hits the Arrancar in the neck but he grabs her and does a powerbomb on her smashing her into the ground.

" It looks like he hit her with his Buro Bomb, there's no way she's going to get back up from that one " Perry said to the audience.

" Damn , this attack hurts really bad. This could of been over if i was allowed to use Hakuda based moves, no more playing around. I got to get serious " Ibiki said to herself as she gets back up a bit injured and bruised but still able to fight and pulls out her sealed Zanpakutō.

" This isn't even a fight . Come on, give me the best you got " Buroru arrogantly boasted as he beats his chest only to see a slash wound on his chest and see Ibiki with a sealed sword in her hand

" Looks like Sayuri is getting serious now , she pulled out her Zanpakutō " Tim stated.

" This is legal people, remember ,there are no rules , no disqualifications, the only way to win is to make the opponent give up, incapacitate them or kill them " Perry explained to the audience.

Ibiki comes at Buroru again with another slash but the Arrancar blocks barehanded and goes to punch Ibiki but Ibiki appears behind and stabs him in the neck with his Zanpakutō but the wound barely goes into the neck . Buroru turns around and smacks her into the barricade .

" This guy is so strong , it's going to be hard to fight him without relying on special moves " Ibiki said to herself .

" This is boring, time to end this ! " Buroru shouted as he fires a Bala towards Ibiki but Ibiki dodges the blast.

" Still , he's not very fast. I can use that to my edge " Ibiki said to herself as she dashes towards Buroru.

" You want some of this ? " Buroru shouted as he shoots a volley of Balas at Ibiki.

" Looks like Buroru has gone for his Bala assault , there's no way anyone would survive that " Tim said to the audience as the blasts all seem to hit but Ibiki disappeared.

" Where did she go ? " Buroru asked himself .

" Behind you ! " Ibiki answered with Reiatsu covering her blade as she slashes him across the chest causing a mild gash on him and pushing him back.

" Bitch ! " Buroru shouted as he holds onto his chest .

" Looks like Luna managed to cut deeply across Buroru " Tim said to the audience .

" No one in the last 2 years has managed to cut Buroru, this Arrancar is something else " Perry replied .

" That's it, no more games ! " Buroru shouted as he pulls out two pairs of claws and comes at Ibiki.

Ibiki dodges a series of powerful claw swipes aimed at her face but she manages to dodge the slashes. Ibiki then goes for a jump strike but Buroru blocks with his claws and almost slashes Ibiki pushing her back.

" This is getting interesting ! " Tim said to his audience .

" Same here but can this Luna girl actually beat the long reigning champion within the battledome ? " Perry asked .

" We just have to wait and see " Tim answered.

Ibiki is slashed across the back by Buroru's claws and then kicked into the ramp leading to the titantorn.

" Damn it, there has to be a way to beat him. I see " Ibiki said to herself as she stands on the titantron holding her back only for Buroru to jump on top of the titantron.

" Any last words before i crush you ? " Buroru asked Ibiki as he draws closer with his claws.

" Yes just one! " Ibiki answered as she slashes the titan torn in half and Buroru falls down into the ground covered within the wreckage of the titantron while Ibiki holds on to a cable wire suspended from the ceiling . Ibiki then jumps off while Buroru struggles to get up.

" Bitch !" Buroru shouted as he's about to get cut down.

" I got you ! " Ibiki shouted only for Buroru to pull out his massive club to block the blow.

" What's this ? Buroru is actually using his Zanpakutō " Tim said to the audience.

" This is something we never thought we would ever seen , the champion Buroru using his Zanpakutō for the first time in years " Perry stated.

" This is the first time in years i had to use this, you're going to be fun to fight " Buroru said to the fake Arrancar.

" I see, so that's your Zanpakutō ! " Ibiki asked as she gets back up to fight.

" You're strong, this is the first time i need this baby but it would also be the last time you live " Buroru answered as he jumps into the air and smashes down on Ibiki. Ibiki struggles to hold back the club with her Zanpakutō but it breaks in half and she's pushed back 20 feet away causing a shockwave .

" SHIT !" Ibiki shouted as she gets back up with only half her blade broken.

" This is bad ! Your blade is broken " Kisuke shouted inside her ear.

" Shit, this is bad , without it, i can't kill him " Ibiki replied .

" This is the end ! " Buroru shouted as he charges at Ibiki with his club.

" I got to think of something quick, i need to release my Shikai to kill him but how am i going to do that ? If i do, everyone will know that i'm an Arrancar " Ibiki said to herself as she tries to thin of an idea .

" Take This ! " Buroru shouted as he fires a Bala towards Ibiki but she dodges the attack.

" I got it now ! " Ibiki said to herself as she uses another fake Sonido to go to the rapture and hang out above the ceiling.

" What's going on here ? It looks like Luna is trying to bait Buroru somehow " Tim said to the audience.

" What is she up to ? She's doing something very dangerous " Perry replied as he watches Ibiki run up the ceiling.

" Take this !" Buroru shouted as he fires Balas at the ceiling trying to hit her but the blast miss and hit all the lights within ceiling and causes chunks of the ceiling to collapse causing people to run from the falling debris.

" What's going here ? " Tim asked.

" This battle is damaging the stadium " Perry answered.

" I can't see anything ! " Tim stated.

" Me neither ! " Perry replied.

Meanwhile the whole stadium goes dark , leaving the crowd unable to see.

" What happened ? " Cirucci asked.

" It went dark ! " Skullak answered.

" Damn it and just when the fight was getting good " Loly stated.

" Indeed, i can't see a thing " Menoly replied as they try to see in the dark .

Up at the ceiling Ibiki smiles as her plan worked .

" Looks like you fell for my trap ! " Ibiki said to Buroru .

" Ya bluffing, you can't beat my power, even if i can't see you, you can't hurt me , since you can't use your Zanpakutō, i'll use Resurrecion to crush you " Buroru replied as he prepares to release his full power.

" Whisper Shizuka Kazeshibō (静かSilent Wind Death ) " Ibiki whispered as she transforms her broken blade into a black fan with blades on each end of the fan.

" Time for my full power ... " Buroru chanted only to get cut in half vertically by Ibiki . Ibiki then reseals her sword quickly and the dead body of Buroru falls to the ring cleaved into two parts.

The lights turn on again from the backup light bulbs to reveal Buroru was killed in the darkness by Ibiki .

" Looks like Luna has won her battle , Buroru the undefeated champion of the arena has been killed " the announcer stated as Ibiki stands there in victory.

" It looks like we have a new Arrancar # 45 " Tim said to the audience .

" That sucked, we didn't see how she killed him ! " Perry replied.

Meanwhile Skullak and his group celebrate the victory of Luna under Ibiki.

" Looks like the Natural Arrancar proved her strength " Cirucci said to Skullak.

" Indeed , she's very skilled ! " Skullak replied.

" How can you guys like this ? That poor guy is dead ! " Orihime shouted.

" This is a battle to see who's strong enough to survive, fights like this are no different from the fights in the Soul Society " Skullak explained to Orihime.

" What do you mean ? " Orihime asked Skullak.

" Look at the Kenpachi's, each guy who's become a Captain within the Soul Society Squad 11 had to kill another to become Captains " Cirucci stated.

" I never knew that ! " Orihime stated.

" Now you know ! " Skullak replied.

Meanwhile at the ring, Ibiki sees Orihime in the crowd.

" Guys do you see that ? " Ibiki asked Kisuke within her mind.

" They have Orihime within the crowd " Kisuke answered.

" Why is she going around freely in Las Noches ? " " Ibiki asked.

" It doesn't matter, your mission is to find every weakpoint and strength within the fortress so we can ensure that you and Orihime can have an escape route when we attack" Yoruichi commanded.

" Got it , i'll stay on target !" Ibiki replied as she walks away from the area.

Meanwhile at the balcony. Aizen looks at Ibiki under the persona Luna to see her leaving the area.

" Nice Job Luna, i wonder how you would perform as an Arrancar ? " Aizen said to himself starting at Ibiki.

Amekagure

Pein and Konan are talking with Madara about the state of the Akatsuki.

" How are the other Akatsuki doing ? " Pein asked.

" Kisame is healing from his wounds from the 8 Tails , Itachi is out looking for medicine for his illness ,Sasori is busy repairing his puppets and the Zombie brothers are being there usual selves . Deidara is making more art and Kisame is fishing working on plan to think of a plan to capture the Eight and Nine Tails " Madara explained to the two of them.

" Looks like we're going to be out of commission for the next few days " Konan stated.

" We'll use that time to rest , once we rest we can begin looking for the last two Tailed Beasts " Madara replied.

Soul Society

12:00 P.M. Yamamoto and the Gotei 13 are burying the 1,500 dead troop caused by the Shinobi invasion. All the Shinigami gather within the cemetery near Sōkyoku Hill to bury the dead. All the Captains and Lieutenant are within the funeral.

" Today we're here to remember the 1,500 troops who lost there lives within the tragic events of the Konoha Invasion , the death of these brave men will not go in vain " Yamamoto said to everyone there .

" I can't believe we lost so many men within a single day ! " Renji said to his Captain who's now recovered from his injuries from the other day.

" After what happened in Karakura Town yesterday, i'm surprised none of us were killed off " Byakuya replied calmly.

" The people who are being buried aren't so lucky ! " Rukia said to the two of them.

" Compared to the incident 20 years ago, there weren't as many fatalities " Byakuya replied.

" Damn the Shinobi ! They started this war when they attacked the Soul Society with that inferno beast of theirs " Hitsugaya said to the group in anger.

" Calm down Captain , we should be taking this time to honor the dead, not insult the Shinobi " Rangiku stated.

" Hitsugaya has a point though, they're the ones who have started this war but we will never yield to them " Sajin replied.

" These men all died strictly loyal to the Soul Society ! " Hisagi said to the group.

" Just like how my father died ! " Izuru replied.

" My dad also died , he was killed by a former 3rd seat within Squad 5 " Momo said to her friends.

" You mean the infamous criminal Jeff Sheelal ? " Hitsugaya asked.

" My father as well as several Shinigami were all killed by the man 140 years ago, he used a special weapon to slay them " Momo explained to her friends.

" Wasn't your father Vice Chief of the Kidō Division ? " Renji asked.

" I got my natural talent from him , i just wish i met him in person " Momo answered.

" That's right, he died when you were just 10 years old ! " Izuru stated.

" I never got to see him ! " Momo replied with tears in her eyes only to be grabbed by Hitsugaya.

" My father died before i ever saw him as well " Hitsugaya stated as he holds onto Momo.

" Yeah, you're the sole survivor of the Hitsugaya clan massacre 110 years ago , my family was also killed off " Momo replied.

" Well not sole survivor, my grandmother survived thanks to the heroics of the former Squad 10 Captain " Hitsugaya said to his best friend.

" Aizen was the one to save me from that horrible 3rd seat , that's why i still believe there's good within his heart. An evil man would never save the life of a child " Momo stated.

" We already went over this Momo, whether Gin is controlling him or not, i doubt Central 46 is going to let him live once we capture Aizen " Hitsugaya replied.

Meanwhile Isane and Unohana are within the funeral standing there with flowers in their hands.

" So many Shinigami have died within the last 100 years " Unohana said to Isane.

" I know , it seems like the end times is near! " Isane stated.

" Don't speak so negativity Isane , we will prevail in the end ! " Unohana replied.

" This is bad ! " one of the Daimyō's men replied.

" I can't believe that he'll be killed off ! " one of the advisers stated.

" This brings me to the issue at hand ! " Tsunade replied.

" What is the Tsuchikage and acting Kazekage doing here ? " the Daimyō asked.

" They came to Konoha to tell me the bad news " Tsunade answered.

" Weren't you guys suppose to be in the Kage Summit ? " the Daimyō asked.

" It was attacked by the Shinigami , we left to deliver the news " Baki answered.

" The Shinigami seem to become even more of a problem " the Daimyō stated.

" That's why we plan to assemble the Five Kage Summit in Konoha " Tsuchikage replied.

" When will conference happen ? " the Daimyō asked.

" Tomorrow ! " Tsunade answered.

" I see ! " the Daimyō replied.

" Same here " Karin replied as they head to the rollercoaster.

" Wait for me girls, i want to feel like i'm 10 again ! " Isshin stated.

" You don't need to , you act 10 all the time ! " Karin replied.

" Ichigo hasn't said a word within hours since we came here " Yuzu said to the group.

" Are you okay big brother ? " Yuzu asked her older brother.

" I'm Fine ! " Ichigo answered with a depressed tone.

" Isshin is that you ? " said a mysterious voice.

The woman is a tall and curvaceous fair-skinned woman with gray eyes and raven hair that reaches to her upper back with bangs that part to the left of her face and styles her hair in a ponytail with a purple scrunchy. She is wearing a white t-shirt with long purple sleeves, tight black pants with a buckle belt, and black rubber boots. She has her shirt with "Unagi" written on.

" Who are you ? " Ichigo asked .

" You've grown alot since i last seen you Ichigo , my name is Ikumi Unagiya " the woman answered.

" You're beautiful , it's hard to believe that you're a mother " Ichigo stated.

" Sorry, not into younger guys though you do look very handsome and physically mature for your age " Ikumi replied.

" Whoa, you look very young ! " Karin stated.

" Don't be fooled, me and Isshin both went to highschool together ! " Ikumi replied.

" Mommy i want some ice cream ! " the little boy said to Ikumi.

" In a minute Kaoru ! " Ikumi replied.

" So what brings you here in Karakura Town ?" Isshin where's your husband ? " Isshin asked Ikumi .

" Me and him divorced 5 years ago , he was a scumbag who ended up in jail ? What happened with your wife Masaki ? " Ikumi answered.

" She was killed within a car accident 6 years ago, i been single since them " Isshin stated.

" That's sad , you really did love her !" Ikumi replied as she hugs him.

" How old are you ? " Karin asked.

" I'm 42 years old and proud of my age " Ikumi answered .

" You haven't changed a bit since college " Isshin said to Ikumi .

" But it seems you had some kids here , this here is my son Kaoru Unagiya" Ikumi stated.

" Nice to meet you guys ! " Kaoru replied as he shakes everyone's hand.

" What's with your son here ? He looks down " Ikumi asked the middle-aged father of 3.

" He had his first break up, we're trying to cheer him up with this family gathering " Isshin explained to Ikumi.

" I see, how about we hang out with each other and the kids could hang out together ? " Ikumi asked.

" Sure thing Ikumi ! " Isshin answered as they all hang out with each other.

" Who is this woman ? Something about her doesn't seem ordinary .Still i have to try calming myself down a bit, hopefully Orihime is safe within Hueco Mundo " Ichigo said to himself .

Meanwhile at Las Noches

Orihime is walking around with Cirucci, Menoly , Loly and Skullak when they encounter Starrk and Lilynette.

" What's the prisoner doing walking freely around ? " Lilynette asked Skullak in an angry tone.

" Aizen has allowed me to take her around Las Noches to help her understand Arrancars better " Skullak answered.

" She's one ugly bitch ! " Lilynette shouted with a jealous look on her face only to have her head grabbed by Starrk.

" Don't be jealous Lilynette, she's quite the beauty " Starrk replied.

" Yeah Lilynette, your constantly insulting women more beautiful than your flat chested ass " Loly stated as she grabs her own boobs and moves then around.

" Shut up you skank ! " Lilynette replied as she throws a rock at Loly.

" Why you dirty little ..." Loly shouted only for Cirucci to grab her.

" Stop fighting you two, we're here to get along ,not fight each other " Cirucci said to the girls.

" Right ! " Lilynette , Loly and Menoly replied.

" What are we doing ? " Orihime asked them.

" How about we play some video games ? " Starrk answered.

" Fine ! " Skullak stated as he has Orihime come with them.

Meanwhile at the other side of the palace . Ibiki disguised as Luna scout around the area near Harribel's palace.

" How's your progress ? " Kisuke asked Ibiki.

" So far i only explored 5% of the fortress area . I still need much more time to fully map it out " Ibiki answered.

" Your doing great , keep up the good work ! " Yoruichi stated as she talks to the Vice Captain.

" Someone is coming here ! " Ibiki replied as Harribel walks down to her palace with her Fracción .

" Luna , what are doing here ? " Harribel asked .

" I'm just looking around the fortress ! " Ibiki answered.

" I forgot that you're new around this place , mind if i give you a tour around my palace ? " Harribel asked Ibiki.

" Sure thing ! " Ibiki answered.

" We heard so much about you, hell we saw how you took down the mighty Buroru " Mila said to the young fake Arrancar .

" Yeah you got some spunk !" Apache stated.

" You're very skilled in combat ! " Sun Sun replied.

" Thanks girls ! " Ibiki said to them.

" Hey, we plan to take a swim around the pool, care to join us ? " Harribel asked her.

" Sure thing ! " Ibiki answered as she follows the girls into the pool.

Meanwhile at Karakura Town

Tatsuki and Chizuru have searched for hours within the city looking for Orihime .

" Damn it , where the hell is Orihime ? " Tatsuki asked as she walks around with Chizuru.

" I'm starting to worry ! " Chizuru answered.

" I can't sense her presence, it's like she's in a different world or something " Tatsuki stated.

" After all that happened yesterday, i wouldn't be surprised ! " Chizuru replied.

Meanwhile at Kisuke's shop

Kisuke is getting some intel from his labtop about the area of Las Noches while talking to Ibiki.

" Boy that's a lot of hot chicks there. Aizen surely knows how to create beautiful Arrancar women " Kisuke said to Ibiki

" I know right ... um .. I mean this is no time for this, are you getting the info i'm sending you ? " Ibiki asked Kisuke.

" Yeah, we're uploading it all into the database within the Soul Society " Kisuke answered.

" It seems no one is on to me yet ! " Ibiki stated.

" Okay then keep up the good work ! " Kisuke replied as he hangs up the phone.

Yoruichi then arrives at the shop to talk with Kisuke .

" We need to talk business ASAP " Yoruichi said to Kisuke.

" What is it ? " Kisuke asked.

" It's Yamamoto, he's summoned us for an emergency conference meeting " Yoruichi answered.

" I see, very well then , what's it about ? " Kisuke asked his best friend.

" It's a meeting with the noble houses gathering together , all of them are expected to show up " Yoruichi explained to her best friend.

" Things must be getting very serious for such an event to accord " Kisuke stated.

" Tell me about it ? It seems the Shinobi crisis has forced Yamamoto to become more strict " Yoruichi replied.

" Tessai, take care of the operation within hand while i'm gone " Kisuke said to Tessai.

" Okay ! " Tessai replied.

Meanwhile at Starrk's room

Starrk manages to beat everyone within a racing game that they were all playing.

" Looks like i win again ! " Starrk said to the group.

" That Inoue Girl came close to beating you in this racing game in 2nd place " Lilynette stated.

" That's a huge surprise ,i usually tie second with Starrk ! " Skullak replied.

" Looks like this Inoue girl has some experience with this game " Cirucci said to the group.

" Me and Tatsuki play this game all the time when we're alone " Orihime explained to the group.

" Ha, you're nothing special princess ! " Loly shouted.

" Yeah we we're busy looking at your lumpy ,fat ass " Menoly replied.

" That 's gay! " Loly stated.

" No...No ..no I meant that she's fat, you know it was suppose to be an insult " Menoly replied.

" Quit hating on the girl , just because you lost the game, doesn't mean that you girls can insult her appearance " Cirucci said to the two.

" Just why are we giving her special treatment in the first place ? She's a prisoner, she should be in a cage " Loly shouted .

" I agree with Loly, this is seriously unfair . We shouldn't be letting this Inoue girl act as if she was one of us " Menoly stated agreeing within her friend.

" Calm down guys, we we're just getting along. I don't wish to hurt any of you again " Orihime said to girls.

" Hurt us ? You little shit, you think you can beat us ? You caught us off-guard last time, we'll kick your ass this time without releasing our swords " Loly shouted as she gets closer to Orihime as well as Menoly.

" Let's go for round two Loly ! " Menoly shouted.

" Yeah a fight, lets see some guts and gore !" Lilynette shouted as she await conflict.

" THAT'S ENOUGH ! " Cirucci shouted as she smacks both Loly and Menoly in the butt with her whip.

" OWW! " Loly shouted in intense pain.

" OWWAY!" Menoly screamed in pain as her face turns red from the blush.

" I told you two to behave yourselves didn't i ? Don't question why Orihime is out hanging with us, this is what Lord Aizen wanted right ? This is his orders now shut up or you two would be the ones in prison " Cirucci explained to the two.

" Okay , Okay please don't whip us again " Loly shouted as she rubs her butt.

" Yeah please don't " Menoly replied with a blush on her face.

" Boy it seems those girls have become Cirucci's Fracción " Starrk said to Skullak.

" Hopefully she doesn't drive them away like the rest " Skullak replied.

" Alright Orihime , we're going to show you around the rest of Las Noches . Skullak kun, come with me " Cirucci said to her lover.

" Sure thing , see you later Starrk " Skullak said to his friend.

" Bye ! " Starrk replied as the group left the room.

" So what you want to do now ? " Lilynette asked her master.

" I'm tired , i'm going back to bed " Starrk answered as he goes back to sleep.

" You're always sleeping Starrk !" Lilynette replied as she watches him go back to sleep.

Meanwhile at Harribel's Palace

Ibiki is sitting within the pool within the bathouse naked with the Fracción and Harribel as well as Sheelal.

" You have quite a cute body, do you have a boyfriend ? " Harribel asked Ibiki.

" Nope, i was alone my whole life until i saw that more people like me existed " Ibiki answered.

" Not for nothing but you really could get any man with such a well-defined body " Apache stated.

" I agree with you for once ! " Mila replied.

" You should try your luck with some of the more handsome guys within the base Luna " Sun Sun said to Ibiki.

" I will, hey what about him ? " Ibiki asked as she points at Sheeal who's ducking his head into the water.

" Who me ? " Sheelal asked blushing.

" I wouldn't recommend it, Sheeal is incredibly shy around women " Harribel answered.

" Tell me why he's so shy ! " Ibiki stated.

" He's not used to being with people . He once saved my Fracción when they were still hollows from a group of Adjuchas and became part of the group after he saved them . When he became an Arrancar , he became more shy " Harribel explained to them

" How could he had possibly defeated several Adjuchas himself ? " Ibiki asked Harribel.

" Don't be fooled by his appearance , he's actually a Vasto Lorde " Harribel answered.

" A Vasto Lorde ? " Ibiki asked.

" Sheeal when he first showed up had a fully human form to him " Apache explained to her.

" Still, why isn't he an Espada ? " Ibiki asked them.

" He doesn't know how to fully control his powers and besides he wishes to be with us as a family rather than an Espada " Mila answered.

" So you guys are like a family ? " Ibiki asked them.

" Of course , would you like to be part of the family ? " Sun Sun answered with a question.

" Not yet, i want to explore the rest of this place and see who i feel the most comfortable with as a Fracción " Ibiki answered as she leaves the bathhouse.

Soul Society

4:00 P.M. Yamamoto has arranged a meeting with the clans within the former Central 46 chamber which has been empty for nearly two months. Yoruichi is attending the meeting as a representative of her clan as well as Soifon for the Fon Clan. Byakuya is acting as head of the Kuichi Clan. The Kasumiōji Clan is being represented by an elder man with white hair slicked back, large sideburns extending into a large white beard, and one spectacle in his left eye. He is wearing white kimono with a purple wrap, looking similar to a sweater. Ukitake is representing his clan and Shunsui is representing the Kyōraku Family. Kukaku is representing the former Shiba Clan. Kisuke and Mayuri are there acting as the scientists within the meeting.

" I gathered you all here for this urgent meeting " Yamamoto said to the group.

" What did you gather us all here for ? " Yoruichi asked.

" After the events of the past week, it's become apparent that we must fill in the ranks for the 1,500 missing troops within the Gotei 13 " Yamamoto answered.

" Are you planning on reinstating the draft ? " Soifon asked.

" I have no choice but to do so !" Yamamoto answered.

" Still it would take many years to replace the amount of Shinigami within the Gotei 13, we only have 3 months before the winter war " Kukaku stated.

" And that is why we must call to the clans to provide us with the best fighters and bodyguards to try filling in the ranks left behind from the battle of Konoha " Yamamoto replied.

" Still even with that, the most fighters capable of being produced in the period of 3 months even under my most advanced training methods is only 300 " Yoruichi said to the Captain Commander.

" That's hardly enough to replace the men we lost in the invasion force ! " Soifon stated.

" That's why we should discuss options on how to counter the threat of the Arrancar and Shinigami , we're open to any suggestions at this point " Yamamoto replied.

" Why not get assistance from the other 5 great nations ? " Yoruichi asked .

" Because we can't afford to let them think that we're weak . We're the strongest Gotei 13 within the Teiten 6, we have been for the last 1,000 years, calling upon the Teniten 6 would be a last-ditch maneuver in case the 5 Shinobi Nations were to unite to attack the Soul Society directly " Yamamoto explained to the group.

" You're being stubborn Yamamoto, times have changed. This is beyond just the Aijano branch of the Gotei 13, it would be smarter if we united all 6 nations together to fight the Shinobi and Arrancar threat " Yoruichi stated.

" I already made my decision , We will only unite with them once the Winter War occurs or if all 5 nations attacked here at once . Until, then, we're going to use espionage and assaults against other villages however we face another problem even if we do unite with the other 5 great military powers " Yamamoto explained to the group.

" What problem is that ? " Kisuke asked.

The Runokgai and numerous cities and villages around the Soul Society would be vulnerable to surprise attacks or ambushes . With only 192,156 Shinigami worldwide,we can't hope to fight a war with Aizen and the Shinobi and protect the hundreds of towns and cities across this world at the same time " Yamamoto explained to the group.

" I propose that we have a creation of a secondary fighting force loyal to the Shinigami armed with the best weapons " said the old man.

" Secondary defense force ? " Yamamoto asked.

" This force would use weapons that are highly controlled and regulated by the Shinigami and the Gotei 13 and Teiten 6 that are powerful enough to kill Arrancar and Shinigami " the old man stated.

" I see, that isn't a bad idea Gyōkaku Kumoi ! " Yamamoto replied.

" How are we going to enforce this militia ? " Soifon asked .

" Leave that to me , I can easily manufacture special Kidō guns that would be enough to supply 20,000 civilians in case of an attack on the Soul Society as well a special fake Zanpakutō's . All of them would be given to those without criminal records and would ID locked so they can't be used until the event of an emergency " Mayuri explained to the group.

" This is a good idea ! " Yamamoto said to the group.

" We have Kumoi to thank ! " Byakuya replied.

" Well if that's the case, i'll be the one to manufacture bombs and traps for the defense force given the Shiba Clan was once the main supplier of explosives and fireworks " Kukaku said to the others.

" Leave the training of the militia to me and Captain Soifon , we can easily train then to be great fighters to wield these new weapons " Byakuya stated.

" Allow me to pitch in for the training of the noble clan fighters to increase their strength " Yoruichi replied.

" You have the backing of the Kasumiōji clan to fund the militia as well as all the clans " Gyōkaku said to the group.

" By the time the Winter war happens, we should have at least 2,500 droids under the army banner and 1,000 Shinigami drafted with the addition of 300 seated officer level Shinigami and a defense militia of 200,000 unseated Shinigami level armed civilians. In total, we'll have 23,800 to hold off the assault against the unguarded towns across the Soul Society " Kisuke explained to the group.

"And with the combination of 192,156 Shinigami protecting the Human world from Aizen and 203,800 militia forces protecting the Soul Society, we can win the war " Yamamoto replied.

" We also have the Vizards on board as well ,so the war should be on our edge. We should also try to explore new methods of fighting the Shinobi " Yoruichi explained to the group.

" What do you mean new methods ? " Unohana asked her.

" Maybe finding humans who have spiritual awareness and give them substitute Shinigami status " Yoruichi answered.

" We went over this a few days ago , that's out of the question , i would not permit such an thing . We already have problems in our hands with the Substitute Shinigami ,we don't need more of him " Yamamoto denied .

" At this point, i discovered several more powerful humans who are spirituality aware with at least one of them processing hidden power , can't you at least allow that ? " Yoruichi asked.

" Fine on one condition though , this human must at least have Lieutenant level potential Reiatsu . If you can find me a human who's stronger than a 3rd seat within the World of the Living, then i'll allow them to aid us within the battle of the Shinobi " Yamamoto answered.

" Great !" Yoruichi stated.

" It's a good strategy, while we're all at it, we should try to enlist former Vice Captains to lead the secondary militia force . The enemy has 80,000 forces, it's best we bring in some capable fighters from the past as well " Kisuke said to Yamamoto.

" That isn't a bad idea ! " Yamamoto replied.

" With all these factors, we should be ready for the war " Shunsui said to the group.

" Then it's settled, we'll begin the construction of it starting tomorrow ,everyone is dismissed " Yamamoto said to the group.

Meanwhile at Las Noches

Orihime , Cirucci, Skullak , Loly and Menoly walk to Barragan's palace where he sees the former King of Hueco Mundo and his Fracción waiting for dinner around his table .

" Skullak , what bring you here with that human ? " Barragan asked.

" Aizen has allowed me to bring her around Las Noches " Skullak answered.

" I see, that fool is so easily impressed by some cheap magic tricks from a mere human , i detest that " Barragan stated.

" Yeah we don't like her either but we're stuck with the bitch " Loly replied.

" She's nothing special ! " Menoly responded agreeing with Loly once again.

" You seem mad that Inoue has the power of time like you " Skullak stated.

" Please, her powers come nowhere close to my own " Barragan replied.

" I don't know Lord Barragan, her powers are impressive " Gigo said to the elder Espada.

" Yeah, she was able to easily heal Grimmjow of his wounds " Findor replied.

" Not to mention she saved countless lives " Abirama said to the group.

" Care to join us for dinner ? " Gigo asked Orihime.

" Sure thing ! " Orihime answered .

" Does that mean handsome buns Skullak can sit with us ? " Charlotte asked the former king.

" Don't even think about it Charlotte , he's my boyfriend " Cirucci replied holding on to her lover.

Meanwhile at Las Noches

Ibiki under the disguise of Luna heads to one of the control rooms within Las Noches when she encounters 2 Arrancars waiting for her.

One of the Arrancars is a young man with black and red hair, oranges-yellow eyes,wearing a red uniform similar to Grimmjow's outfit, to show off his muscular body. His mask remains cover both of his cheeks and both side of his chin. His Zanpakutō to the form of two steel whips hanging on his both side of his belt. The other Arrancar has light brown hair, red eyes, and a goatee on his chin. He's wearing an army style brown uniform and for his left hand and arm up to his elbow as if it was all robotic. His Zanpakutō his a standard katana with a light brown handle.

" We finally found you Luna " said the red hair Arrancar.

" Who are you guys and why do you have your weapons draw ? " Ibiki asked them.

" My name is Ranpeji " the red-haired Arrancar answered.

" And my name is Bonku Rassha " the brown-haired Arrancar answered.

" What are you two doing with your weapons drawn out ? " Ibiki questioned the two.

" We came to avenge the man you killed , our friend Buroru " Bonku stated.

" And i was looking forward to wiping your blood on this blood stained uniform" Ranpeji replied.

" Blood stained uniform ? " Ibiki asked.

" This uniform contains all the blood of every Arrancar i killed in battle , you'll be part of this outfit" Ranpeji explained to Ibiki as he comes at Ibiki with his steel whips.

" This is for Buroru ! " Bonku shouted as he charges at Ibiki with his sword.

Ibiki clashes with Bonku's blade while dodging Ranpeji's whip attacks and blocking the sword strikes from Boku.

" This is bad, there's no way i can fight these two without blowing my cover " Ibiki said to herself as she dodges a slash from Boku.

" Come on, give it all you got bitch " Ranpeji shouted as his whips come closer to Ibiki but Ibiki knocks them back with a swing of her sword.

" He's not your only foe ! " Bonku replied as he aims a slash towards her head but Ibiki dodges the slash and kicks him in the head.

" Come on guys, is that the best you got ? " Ibiki asked them.

" Hardly , time to get some payback " Rapneji answered as he's about to release his sword.

" You'll pay for what you did to our master ! " Bonku replied as he's about to release his sword.

Suddenly 3 Arrancars appear to aid Ibiki and stop the two from releasing their Zanpakutō's.

One of the Arrancars is a young good-looking man with silver hair and red eyes. He is wearing a silver-colored uniform. His mask remains were a plate on his forehead and had spike that made a V-shape on it. His Zanpakutō took the form of a saw bladed sword. The other is a good-looking man with silver-gray hair with two long ponytails going down his back and red eyes. He wore a gray high officer uniform and his Zanpakutō took the form of a copter blade, that can spilt apart form the sides to make five other blades. His mask remains was on his forehead and took the form of two V- shape spikes, one outer, one inner, and one other spike between the inner V spiky. The last Arrancar is a boy with light brown hair and red eyes. He's wearing a light brown and gray uniform and his mask remains took the form of four fangs, two on his cheeks and the other on both side of his chin. His Zanpakutō takes the form of a katana with a brown handle and the guard that the shape of two triangle shape spear pointing out word.

" Enough of this you guys, she's too strong for you two " said the silver haired man.

" She was the one who defeated and killed Buroru , do you two wish to be end up the same way ? " said the sliver gray-haired Arrancar.

" Yeah, you continue this fight and you guys would be dead " said the young boy with light brown hair .

" Damn it , she has friends !" Ranpeji said to his partner .

" Let's bail for now ! " Bunko replied as they leave the area.

" That was a close call ! " Ibiki said to herself.

" I know , you almost got into deep trouble there " Tessai stated.

" Now who are you guys ? " Ibiki asked them .

" My Name is Saido Weizu, Arrancar #433 " the silver-haired young man answered.

" My Name is Burak Kuauto, Arrancar # 134 " the sliver gray-haired young man answered.

" My Name is Sukorupo Nokku , Arrancar # 601 " the young boy said to Ibiki.

" Why did you guys help me out back there ? " Ibiki asked them.

" We like how you defeated that bully Buroru, he always picked on us and stole our stuff. For the longest, we couldn't stand that manic but you helped us out greatly defeating him. We were hoping that you can teach us some of your impressive fighting skills " Saido explained to Ibiki.

" I wish i can but i'm busy looking for a place among the Fracción " Ibiki answered.

" Can you do it after you become a Fracción ? " Burak asked.

" I 'll see what i can do " Ibiki answered.

" How about you have dinner with us ? It's getting late " Sukorupo asked.

" Sure thing ! " Ibiki answered as she walks with them.

Meanwhile at Karakura Town Community Park

After spending hours together. Isshin with Ikumi start to walk home with their kids . Ichigo's mood has gotten a bit better since them.

" Boy dad, your friend is an amazing person " Ichigo said to Isshin about Ikumi.

" Yep , i was once the strongest woman in Japan. I was undefeated for 5 years within the Karate league but i suffered a torn ligament injury which kept me out of the action and i'm now too old to fight and now have a son to raise " Ikumi explained to Ichigo.

" We never really heard about you though " Karin questioned Ikumi.

" Because i was fighting before you were even born , hell i was Ichigo's age when i first joined the karate circuit " Ikumi explained to the group.

" Who was your sensei ? " Yuzu asked.

" I was trained by a guy from Brazil in martial arts , his name was Umanoite Freqüentes. He was a former CIA agent born within the United States but had parents from Brazil, he came from one of the wealthiest families in Brazil. He was 15 years older than me but he showed me the ropes in fighting " Ikumi explained to the group.

" That sounds cool ! " Ichigo stated.

" So care i join you guys for dinner ? Ikumi asked.

" Sure thing ! " Isshin answered.

" I want to see how our new friends house looks like " Karou stated.

" Then it's settled, let's have some dinner ! " Isshin replied as his family heads to his house.

Konoha

6:00 P.M. Yamato and the villagers continue work on rebuilding the village where Shikaku comes to talk with him .

" Good work Yamato ! " Shikaku said to Yamato.

" Not good enough, while Onoki helped greatly with the building blocks, we still have alot more work to do right now before we can celebrate " Yamato stated.

" Don't overwork yourself , it would take a while to fully recover from this disaster " Shikaku replied.

" How long do you think it take to rebuild the village now? " Yamato asked .

"At this rate, it would take one month to rebuild all the buildings in the village alone back to their normal state . Rebuilding all the sewers and power lines would take at least a year and the drain in the economy is going to cost 400,000,000,000 ryō( $ 40, 000,000,000 U.S. dollars ) in the annual budget leaving the village in a recession for one year . It would take 2 years for the village to fully recover the damage to it's economy and even then, there's no true way to recover the geographical damage around us " Shikaku stated as they stare at the massive crater as wide as the grand canyon.

" Onoki helped us greatly, my question is how long it would take for us to pay off the massive debt we owe Iwagakure ? " Yamato asked Shikaku.

Meanwhile more villagers start to build their own houses as they get more plywood from the construction teams deployed by the Diyamo.

Ino, Shikamaru and Chōji continue to work on rebuilding Konoha. They are building another house together when they notice it's lunchtime.

" It's Dinner time ! " Ino said to the team.

" Yeah , it's about time! " Shikamaru replied tired out from working.

" All shinobi have been ordered to aid in the reconstruction of Konoha . Yamato might have Wood Style justu but his abilities are limited compared to the first Hokage. He can only build 200 to 400 houses per day and even then, he can't rebuild all the pipelines, technology or sewage lines in the village . While Onoki helped created basic housing, he also can't create pipes an other stuff we once took for granted " Ino explained to Shikamaru.

" I'm hungry ! " Chōji stated.

" Yeah i know what you mean ! " Ino replied as she gets another batch of canned food and packaged rice balls.

" I'm getting sick of eating the same food over again " Chōji stated.

" You're always complaining about this " Ino replied as she hands Shikamaru some canned beans.

" But i'm still hungry ! " Chōji complained.

" Sorry Chōji, we're stuck rationing food for a while . You can't eat as much as you use to " Ino stated.

" Ah man, this fucking sucks ! " Chōji replied.

Meanwhile Team Kurenai is busying eating dinner together with their spirits low from the whole ordeal. They are eating their daily ration of beans, rice and bread with water inside their hospital made by Yamato.

" It feels like a month has passed by since the village as destroyed " Kiba stated.

" Indeed, this village has been devastated by the attack a few days ago ! " Shino replied .

" Look like thing are starting to get better in regards to the village condition " Kurenai said to the group.

" Same here ! " Shino stated with bugs around him.

" Hopefully things would get better ! " Kurenai replied.

Meanwhile Hinata and Naruto are having dinner with each other . Naruto has spent the whole day with each other

" It's been a good day Hinata !" Naruto said to Hinata .

" Indeed Naruto kun ! " Hinata replied feeling on his face .

" Come on, you need to eat to regain your strength " Naruto stated.

" Okay Naruto ! " Hinata replied as she eats her ration of food while both of them stare at each other.

Meanwhile at the hillside . Tenten and Neji are eating their dinner next to the Hokage Palace .

" It feels like this village is beginning to turn back to normal around here " Neji said to Tenten.

" Indeed, everything is going to be fine " Tenten stated as she feels on Neji's hand while blushing.

" Why are you feeling on my hand ? " Neji asked.

" Nothing Neji, it just feels so gentle. I feel real comfortable around you " Tenten answered as she hugs Neji.

" Tenten , what are you doing ?" Neji asked.

" Can i hold on to you a bit longer ? " Tenten asked .

" Sure ! " Neji answered as they both hug each other.

" Hopefully Lee gets his surgery " Tenten stated.

" Don't worry, we're talking about your idol Tsunade after all ! " Neji replied.

Meanwhile Tsunade arrive back at her office with Shizune, while Baki and Onoki goes back to their rooms. Tsunade closes the door and grabs Shizune's face.

" Now it's just you and me ! " Tsunade said to Shizune

" You must be hungry for me after not tasting me for a while " Shizune replied as they kiss each other in the mouth.

" Shizune take off all your clothes right now " Tsunade demanded.

" Yes lady Tsunade " Shizune replied as she removes her bluish-black kimono revealing a mesh shirt with no bra and a tight thong with her open-toed sandals with low heels.

Suddenly Gai and Lee walk in shocking the two of them .

" Tsunade, we need you to help with the surgery " Gai said to Tsunade with Shizune covering herself.

" WHAT THE FUCK ? KNOCK BEFORE YOU ENTER ! " Tsunade shouted.

" What were you doing just now ? " Gai asked Tsunade.

" Nothing, i was going to get to surgery ! " Tsunade answered.

" Then let's begin then ! " Lee stated.

" Sorry Shizune, our check up has to wait for later, i have to fix Lee again " Tsunade replied winking at Shizune as she walks away with them.

" Damn it , i was so close to tasting her again ! " Shizune said to herself.

Meanwhile at Barragan's palace

Orihime has eaten 6 plates of food shocking most of the Arrancars within the table.

" I can't eat another bite ! " Choe said as he finishes his 4 plates of food.

" How can she eat so much and not be fat ? " Menoly whispered to Loly only on her second plate of spaghetti.

" I bet it goes all the way down to her boobs !" Loly answered as she 's barely able finish her second plate of chicken and rice.

" That Inoue girl eats more than Barragan and Choe " Findor stated as he eats through his third plate of shrimp and lobster.

" How is that even possible? " Gigo asked a he eats his chicken and rice.

" It's mortifying how she can eat that much, that's not keeping a healthy diet " Charlotte answered as he's still eating his first plate of salad.

" Quit being such a whiny fag, real men don't care about diets " Airvama stated as he flexes his muscles then goes to eating his third plate of ribs, ham, steak and chicken.

" Quit being such a barbaric brute! " Charlotte replied.

" Just who is this Inoue girl ? Where did a human get so much power ? " Barragan asked as he's eating his fifth plate of roast beef.

" That's what Lord Aizen is hoping to find out " Skullak answered.

" She really is something else ! " Cirucci replied.

" More please ! " Orihime asked them as she finishes her 6th plate causing everyone top drop to the ground.

" She's a monster ! " Barragan answered.

Meanwhile at Las Noches food court

Ibiki is eating her dinner with Arrancar #433 Saido Weizu, Arrancar # 134 Burak Kuauto and Arrancar # 601 Sukorupo Nokku.

" Your food is very good around here " Ibiki said to her Arrancar friends .

" Thanks we have over 200 chefs within this great fortress " Saido replied.

" How many Arrancars are within this fortress ? " Ibiki asked.

" Over 2,000 so far ! " Burak answered.

" That's almost enough to challenge the Gotei 13 " Ibiki stated.

" Soon we will, Lord Aizen is close to taking them down thanks to the Inoue girl we have in our hands " Sukorupo replied.

Suddenly Yammy comes by stomping around like an elephant looking for food.

" I'm hungry, i need something to eat " Yammy said to the group as he approaches the table.

" Crap, what the hell is Yammy doing here ? " Saido asked.

" I don't know but it's never a good thing " Burak answered.

" Alright wimps, give me ya food ! " Yammy said to the group.

" Hey you bully, leave them alone ! " Ibiki shouted only to be stopped from drawing her sword by Sukorupo.

" Are you insane, that man is an Espada. He's far stronger than any of us " Sukorupo stated.

" That's right , i'm Espada # 10 bitches . I'll forgive this whore for trying to step up to me, now hand me ya food " Yammy taunted as he flexes his muscles.

" Shit, there's nothing i can do against him ! " Ibiki said to herself.

" Don't interfere Ibiki, these guys mean nothing to the mission besides he's an Espada. He might be the weakest one but he's easily far stronger than a Vice Captain" Tessai said to Ibiki.

" I'm aware of that now , i'm not about to get caught fighting a bully like him " Ibiki replied.

" Now give me ya food ! " Yammy shouted as he flexes his muscles.

" Right !" everyone replied as they give Yammy their food and Yammy eats all the food within the table .

" That's more like it !" Yammy gloated as he beats his chest and pushes Ibiki out of the way as he walks away.

" Asshole ! " Ibiki mumbled to the others without Yammy hearing them.

" Tell me about it ! " Saido stated.

" The Espadas and Fracción often pick on the non Números and look at us as subhuman. They think that them being once Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde means they can just bully us around " Burak explained to Ibiki.

" And Aizen doesn't anything to stop this bullying ? " Ibiki asked.

" Aizen doesn't care about any Arrancar below #110, to him, we're trash and just easily disposable fodder " Sukorupo replied.

" I see , i must continue my search of a proper Espada to become the prefect Fracción " Ibiki said to the group.

" Good luck with that ! " Saido replied as Ibiki leaves the area.

Meanwhile at the Kurosaki Clinic

Ichigo and his family are eating dinner with Ikumi and her son Kaoru. They're eating rice with chicken

" Boy Isshin, you really learned how to cook " Ikumi said to the middle-aged father of 3 .

" I agree , you cook like my mom ! " Kaoru replied.

" Thank you ! My daughter has been learning to cook like her old man , hell she helps out with the housework and cleaning" Isshin stated gloating.

" So what does your son do ? " Ikumi asked.

" He's in highschool " Isshin answered.

" Seriously, he looks more like a college student. I didn't know he was your son Isshin. I probably might of took him as my boyfriend given how handsome he is " Ikumi stated.

" I'm not that attractive now " Ichigo replied with a blush.

" So what brings you here Ikumi ? " Isshin asked.

" I set up a new business with Karakura Town " Ikumi answered.

" What's it about ? " Ichigo asked.

" It's the Unagiya Shop, it's a shop that does odd jobs . It's being opened tomorrow and i need someone to help me open up the shop " Ikumi answered.

" I'll help you with that , given your Isshin's friend " Ichigo stated.

" Thank you ! " Ikumi shouted as she hugs Ichigo hard.

" Damn you have a strong grip ! " Ichigo screamed as he starts to turn blue.

" Hey easily Ikumi, i want Ichigo to live long enough to give me grandchildren " Isshin stated.

" Sorry, i don't know my own strength sometimes ! " Ikumi replied as she let's go of Ichigo.

" It was a pleasure having you back Ikumi , my son would come by your shop at noon " Isshin said to Ikumi.

" Good thing, i need him . See you guys tomorrow " Ikumi said to Isshin as she hugs him and kisses him on the check.

" Bye guys ! " Kaoru said to the Kurosaki family .

" Bye! " all the family members replied as the Unagiyas leave the house.

" Looks like dad has ignited an old flame " Karin said to Isshin.

" Does that mean we have a new mommy and new brother ? " Yuzu asked.

" Come on guys, we're just friends ! " Isshin stated.

" Right casanova, i saw how you got when she hugged you, you want her do you ? " Karin said to Isshin.

" Maybe a bit but my heart is still for Masaki ! " Isshin replied.

" I understand that dad but she's a nice woman, you really should consider being with her " Ichigo stated.

" Looks like you're feeling better Ichigo " Isshin replied.

" Yeah, she seems like a very nice woman " Ichigo said to his father.

" Thanks Ichigo but i think i'll handle my own relationship issues ! " Isshin replied.

" Orihime don't worry, once i get the surgery, i promise that i'll go straight to Hueco Mundo " Ichigo said to himself.

Meanwhile at Aizen's Throne Room

Aizen and Madara are talking with each other about the events of yesterday.

" So you think i sabotaged your Hōgyoku ? " Madara asked Aizen.

" Someone did and out of everyone who would want it sealed, you're the prime suspect " Aizen answered.

" And tell me, what would i gain if i were to have you killed off before we gain all 9 Tails ? " Madara questioned the former Captain.

" That seal doesn't just appear on itself ! " Aizen replied as he shows Madara the Hōgyoku and the seal on it.

" Tell me, how would i be able to seal your Hōgyoku if i was fighting off Kisuke, Isshin and Yoruichi ? " Madara asked.

" Pardon me ! " Aizen asked.

" Using Gedō Mazō takes far too much energy from me in addition of having to fight the fastest Shinigami. It would take all my power to do this " Madara explained to Aizen.

" I see ! " Madara replied.

" That seal wasn't created by any Ninjustu, it look more akin to Spatial Manipulation " Madara said to the former Captain.

" You're right, Orihime must of pretended to activate it then put a seal on it " Aizen stated.

" Still i seriously doubt a naive human who barely has control of his power could craft a brilliant seal like this, she was being manipulated by someone else " Madara explained to Aizen.

" But who could it be ? " Aizen questioned the former clan leader.

Somewhere at Hueco Mundo

Itachi and Gin gather at a cave both alone.

" So you're alone huh ? " Itachi asked Gin.

" Yep, Aizen has no clue about this secret passageway " Gin answered.

" It seems Aizen and Madara are still acting as a pact ! " Itachi stated.

" Yep it seems the framing of Madara didn't go as planned ! " Gin replied.

" Any backup plans ? " Itachi asked.

" There's one, we need to find an old enemy of Aizen " Gin answered.

" What old enemy ? " Itachi asked.

" His name is Moradrath Louisenbairn , the brother of the Former King of Hueco Mundo " Gin answered.

" You think that he could help us out ? " Itachi asked.

" He was once a rival to the King of Hollows, it's rumored for years he has been developing an Hōgyoku of his own to fight Aizen . Given the damage you did to Aizen's Hōgyoku he stole from Kisuke. Aizen would most likely come after Moradrath , we must beat Aizen to the punch and kill him and destroy the Hōgyoku " Gin explained to Itachi.

" I thought we we're going to use them to drive a wedge between the Akatsuki and Espadas " Itachi stated.

" We are, but once Aizen find where Moradrath is at and once he outlives his usefulness to us, we kill him and destroy the Hōgyoku " Gin replied.

" To my understanding, don't you wish to kill Aizen yourself ? " Itachi asked.

" Yes i do . I haven't found the right opportunity yet , given how power he is with regards to his Bankai and Kyōka Suigetsu, i'm still not sure if i would succeed in killing him " Gin explained to Itachi.

" There's no need to rush Gin, once i dismantle the alliance and weaken the relationship between Akatsuki and Espada, then you're free to kill Aizen " Itachi stated.

" You're too kind ! " Gin replied as they both shake hands.

" So i heard Aizen is training my brother !" Itachi said to Gin.

" You mean Sasuke huh, he's quite the promising child. He was strong enough to hold his own against the 4th Espada unreleased , that would put your brother at least 6th Espada level. There's no telling how much stronger he'll be after training " Gin explained to Itachi.

" Hopefully by then, his hate would be strong enough to kill me ! " Itachi replied.

Konoha Hospital

11:00 P.M. Tsunade has finished her 5 hour surgery process on Lee's body and is exhausted of her Chakra.

"There all done ! " Tsunade said as her medical team cheer for the success of the surgery.

Gai, Neji and Tenten walk in to see Lee in the hospital with his powers restored.

" How did it went Lady Tsunade ? " Gai asked.

" The operation was a success, His Keirakukei has been repaired and the Tenketsu near the heart was fixed as well. Lee should stay for a few days before returning back to active duty " Tsunade suggested.

" Forget Tsunade, this is Lee we're talking about. He was still trying to fight the Sound Four despite having a broken leg " Neji replied.

" At least Lee is perfectly fine , i can't thank you enough Tsunade " Gai stated as he hugs her.

" He's going to be asleep for the rest of the night, it's best you guys leave her " Tsunade said to the team.

" Trust me, once he wakes up in the morning , he's going to be fully charged and ready to fight again " Tenten replied.

" No one would be doing such a thing until the funeral scheduled at noon tomorrow " Tsunade responded as she leaves the room with the rest.

Sunday September 30 ,2001 6:00 A.M. Menos Forest , Bleachverse

Sasuke has gotten a successful night of rest .

" I sense hollows nearby ! " Sasuke said to himself as he checks his bracelet " My power level jumped up to 250 RYK , not bad over a short period of time " Sasuke said to himself as he gets up only to sense Hollows nearby him

" ARWRGH !" roared a pack of 30 Hollows as they all come at Sasuke who's under the power limiter.

" More ugly vermin, these creatures never learn do they ? " Sasuke asked as he manages to slash up 30 of the hollows with ease.

Suddenly 100 more hollows appear around Sasuke and go to attack him.

" Damn, this place is crawling with these creatures. I'm guessing the increase of my power has baited more of these annoying creatures " Sasuke said to himself as he actually struggles to fight off as many hollows as possible.

After wiping out as many Hollows with his sword , he then encounters a Menos Grande.

" RWWARGH ! " the Menos roared as it comes towards Sasuke.

" I see , a Menos huh ? Looks like at the moment, you and me are evenly matched " Sasuke said to the Menos.

" RAWARGH ! " the Menos roared as it fires a Cero towards Sasuke but Sasuke dodges it as it levels a large 20 foot rock with the blast.

" Man, this limiter really weakens me. Before, taking out 10 of them was childsplay , now i actually have to put more effort into fighting them " Sasuke said to himself as he dodges another Cero from the Menos.

Sasuke jumps out of the way as it fires a barrage of 20 Balas from it's mouth while Sasuke barely dodges the blasts with his left arm getting burned by a shot grazing him.

" RAWWRGH ! " the Menos roared as it tries to kick Sasuke with it's giant foot but Sasuke moves out of the way holding on to it's left arm.

" Damn , that blast got me good . I can't afford to be hit by another blast like that or i'm dead " Sasuke said to himself as he then sees the giant arm of a Menos attempt to crush him but Sasuke moves out of the way and jumps to slash the Menos face but the blade barely cuts through the mask but leaves a gash on the top of the forehead.

" ARRGH ! " the Menos roared as it pushes Sasuke aside and smacks him into a large tree.

" Damn, my attacks barely have an effect. While our Reyirkou power levels aren't much different, his large size makes it harder to cut. I need to put much more effort in that attack next time around " Sasuke said to himself as he then sees a Menos charge up another Cero.

" RRAWARHGH ! " the Menos roared as it fires another Cero at Sasuke but Sasuke jumps up and blocks the blast with both hands attempting to cut it in half but Sasuke is pushed down but he cuts the blast in half with all his effort.

" Damn it , how can this creature be giving me such a hard time ? I fought an Espada not long ago but a Menos under a limiter is too much ? " Sasuke said to himself as he's worn out from the blast.

" RAWARGH ! " the Menos roared as it charges up an even bigger Cero.

" Shit ! " Sasuke shouted as he swings his sword and fires a massive crimson wave of energy which cuts through the Menos nearly cleaving it in half.

" ARRAGWRGH ! " the Menos roared in pain as it struggles to move.

" I just fired a Cero, cool. Let's try this again " Sasuke said to himself as he puts both hands outward and charges up a red ball in his hand.

" ARRGGHWRGH !" the Menos roared as it struggles to regenerate from it's wounds.

" Die !" Sasuke shouted as he fires a Cero right towards the Menos head blasting the head clean off with all his energy and is worn out from the blast while killing off the Menos.

" RRAWRHGGH ! " the Menos roared in it's last breath as it drops dead on the ground and it's body atomizes to resihi.

" That's more like it, firing a Cero is alot easier than using a justu. I think i might get the hang of these powers " Sasuke said to himself as he draws back his sword and is exhausted of his energy.

Suddenly 10 more Menos appear to surround Sasuke .

" ARRWARGH ! " all the Menos roared as they charge up there Ceros.

" Damn it, more of them ! " Sasuke said to himself.

All the Menos fire at Sasuke but he's saved by a mysterious Shinigami wearing a standard Shinigami uniform, in ragged condition and without any footwear, with a fur coat draped over himself. The coat consists of several Hollow masks adorned on it . He's wearing a mask resembling a gazelle's skull which he wears over his face is the mask .

" What is a human plus doing here ? " said the mysterious Shinigami as the Menos come at him.

One of the Menos fires a Cero towards the Shinigami but he takes out a mask like shield and blocks the Cero and cuts that Menos in half with ease . He then uses Shunpo to easily cut apart the remaining Menos with just a sealed sword.

" Who are you and how did you just effortlessly take out all those Menos ? " Sasuke asked.

" You must be a human with some Hollow powers within you , you're too weak to be an Arrancar " the Shinigami answered.

" So you must be a Shinigami but what's with the getup ? " Sasuke asked.

" I'll answer that when we get back to the hideout, follow me " the Shinigami answered as he has Sasuke follow him.

Meanwhile at Orihime's cell

Orihime is within the cell awaiting for her friends.

" These Arrancars aren't as bad as i thought. They actually seem like nice people however they don't seem to know that Aizen all this time is just using them " Orihime said to herself as she sits in her comfortable cell when she hears the door open.

The door opens up to reveal that Ninorta and Szayel opened it to walk in. Ninorta grabs Orihime's face and feels on it.

" Isn't he cute Szayel ? " Ninorta asked his partner.

" Sorry Ninorta, you know i only like big cocks. I detest women " Szayel answered.

" What are you doing ? " Orihime asked him only for the perverted Espada to grope her boobs.

" These are very nice, i like them " Ninorta answered only to get slapped across the face by Orihime .

" Don't touch me there ! " Orihime shouted.

" Shut up bitch! Know your place ! " Ninorta shouted.

" This is no time for touching, bring her to my lab, then we can do whatever we want with her " Szayel stated.

" Fine then ! " Ninorta replied as he forcibly grabs Orihime and drags her away.

" Help, leave me alone ! " Orihime shouted as she struggles to move away.

Meanwhile at Skullak's room

Skullak is making out with Cirucci with both of them nearly naked. Skullak is only wearing his briefs while Cirucci is topless when they get a phonecall from Rudbornn .

" What is it Rudbornn ? " Skullak asked.

" Orihime has been abducted by Szayel and Ninorta. They plan to rape her an experiment on her " Rudbornn answered.

" Son of a bitch !" Skullak shouted as he gets out of the bed and puts on his clothes while hanging up the phone .

" Where are you going ? " Cirucci asked her lover covering her boobs.

" Orihime has been abducted by Szayel , i got to hurry " Skullak answered as he rushes out of the room.

Meanwhile at Gin Ichimaru's control room

Ibiki is downloading information from a computer port containing the file information from the base.

" I got the info copied into the hard drive, it's being uploaded to your computer as we speak " Ibiki said to Kisuke.

" Great , that's perfect timing Ibiki. At this hour, most people would be waking up , you're pretty efficient " Kisuke stated.

" Thank you Kisuke " Ibiki replied only to hear the sound of footsteps coming down the hall.

" You got company, abort the process and act natural " Yoruichi shouted.

" Right ! " Ibiki replied as she tucks away the disk and uses Shunpo to leave the room only to be caught by several Calaveras and Rudbornn .

" What are you doing here ? This is a restricted area " Rudbornn asked Ibiki.

" Shit, they caught me ! " Ibiki said to herself.

" Only Espadas are allowed access here, non Espadas are forbidden " Rudbornn explained to Ibiki.

" I didn't know that ! " Ibiki stated.

" I find that hard to believe , after all you did encounter an Espada yesterday right ? Did they not explain the rules of this place to you ? " Rudborrn stated.

" No he didn't, he was too busy bully us and taking out dinner as usual " Saido stated as he comes to Ibiki's aid.

" That brute was messing with us ! " Burak replied.

" Fuck that retard Yammy ! " Sukorupo responded.

" Yammy ? Oh, that explains alot . I can see why you weren't informed. Seriously that moron makes me wonder what was Aizen thinking appointing him as an Espada but not me " Rudbornn said the group.

" Still doesn't explain why you guys are around here " one of the Calaveras questioned the group.

" We were on the way back to our chambers but then the new girl got lost here and we searched for her " Saido stated.

" Okay then , we'll let you guys with a warning . You're not allowed within the control rooms without clearance, remember that because the next time you don't , i'm hauling your asses straight to jail " Rudbornn replied as he walks away with his men.

" Why did you guys came to my defense ? " Ibiki asked the group.

" We have an unwritten rule amongst the Arrancar that we must help another when we see a fellow comrade it trouble " Saido answered.

" Any reason you were really at the Gin Ichimaru's control room area ? " Burak asked.

" No reason, i was just hoping to catch a look at this Gin Ichimaru guy " Ibiki answered.

" Any reason why ? " Sukorupo asked.

" He's cute , i just like the smile on his face " Ibiki answered as she walks away.

" Careful now, your obsession almost got all of us killed ! " Saido stated.

" Sorry about that ! " Ibiki replied.

" Now let's split before you get lost again ! " Burak stated.

" Yeah i can't wait to have breakfast around here " Sukorupo replied as they leave the area.

" Boy, that was too close for comfort ! " Ibiki said to Kisuke.

" These Arrancars aren't that bad people are they ? " Kisuke asked .

" They really seem no different from a Shinigami or a human " Ibiki answered.

" I wonder if the Arrancar are really evil or not. They might not be the cold-hearted, evil, greed, power hunger, arrogant, rude monsters they appear to be " Kisuke stated.

" It doesn't matter , we still need to get Orihime out of there , the mission comes first " Ibiki replied as she leaves with her new friends.

Meanwhile at Szayel Aporro's Lab.

Orihime is being held by Ninorta, Tesla and Szayel within the lab.

" Master, do you really have to resort to force to get a woman ? " Tesla asked.

" Shut up Tesla, this isn't about sex. It's this cocky little bitch thinking she's strong , i heard everything about you " Ninorta answered.

" What do you mean ? " Orihime asked.

" Those two pissant girls told me how you were being pampered and all " Ninorta answered.

" Menoly and Loly ? " Orihime thinks to herself.

" I hate bitches who get special treatment around here, Women are like pets to me, it's time i break you if you know what i mean " Ninorta explained to Orihime with a sadistic smile licking his lips.

" Stay back ! " Orihime shouted as she tries to get her distance from Ninorta but Ninorta grab her and throws her into the ground.

" Hurry up Ninorta, i have to use her for some experiments " Szayel said to the 5th Espada.

" You guys can't do this , Aizen said for you two treat me with care " Orihime stated.

" Don't worry, i won't allow Ninorta to violently rip your flesh off like he does to his other victims when he's bored of them or anything that would jeopardized your life now shut up already i'm going to take a shower while you two start " Szayel stated only to get punched in the stomach by Skullak .

" What the hell ? " Ninorta shouted only to get slashed across the chest by Skullak who's in a bad mood.

" Leave her alone Ninorta, this is your first and final warning. Attempt this stunt again and you're dead ! " Skullak said to Ninorta as he falls down.

" Damn it, how did you find out ? " Szayel asked.

" Rudbornn told me your intentions and therefore i found out , i warn the both of you to stay away from Orihime and stop abusing women . The only reason you both are kept alive this long is because there isn't anyone to replace you as of yet . Orihime heal the two up " Skullak explained to the two of them.

" Right ! " Orihime replied as she heals both Szayel and Ninorta and then walks away.

" Are you okay ? " Skullak asked the young ginger.

" I'm fine , why did you go through the trouble to save me ? " Orihime asked.

" It would be on my head if let something bad happen to you, i simply couldn't live with myself if you were raped or experimented on " Skullak answered.

" Thank you ! " Orihime stated.

" Now let's head back , you'll be staying over in my chamber for now " Skullak replied as he walks with Orihime.

Meanwhile at Las Noches throne room

Aizen watches the events within Orihime's life while drinking tea.

" Looks like everything is going to plan ,Orihime is becoming more comfortable around this place" Aizen said to Gin and Tōusen.

" Indeed, with someone as gullible and kind-hearted as Skullak being her guide , it makes manipulation of her far easier " Gin replied.

" Ninorta's savage behavior also plays to our favor " Tōusen stated.

" It's almost as if you planned this out all this time " Gin said to the former Captain of Squad 5 .

" Well everything so far has been according to plan , well almost everything " Aizen replied.

" What's wrong Lord Aizen ? " Tōusen asked.

" It seems Orihime was the one who sealed my Hōgyoku , not Madara " Aizen answered.

" You mean she was the one who put that time seal on your Hōgyoku ? " Tōusen asked.

" How is that even possible ? " Gin asked pretending to not know the truth.

" I have a feeling Kisuke was behind this, he must of used some form of hypnosis to have Orihime instinctively seal away the Hōgyoku or maybe there's someone like him among our organization or the Akatsukis " Aizen explained to the two.

" Who would have the audacity to betray you Lord Aizen ? " Tōusen asked his boss.

" Someone who's trying to drive a rift between the Espadas and Akatsuki " Aizen answered.

" Shouldn't we search for this traitor ? " Tōusen asked.

" No need to worry , it's only a minor setback. The Hōgyoku can still be used in it's half awakened state and the more we win Orihime over to our side, the faster it would take to reactivate it . Besides this gives us plenty of time to prepare to take the One Tailed Demon out of the Gotei 13's hands and how to capture the last two Tailed Beasts and Ichigo " Aizen explained to the group.

" So just how strong is this Ten Tails were talking about ? " Gin asked Aizen.

" For what i know, he's easily planetary level. According to myths, it was a god that created countries and had the power to swallow oceans, split the land, and carry mountains. Imagine if i wield this power in combination with the Hōgyoku and my power as well as the Oken . I could easily create or destroy an entire planet with that much power , not even the Soul King could stop my power if i combined it all into my essence " Aizen explained to Gin.

" Still you forget Madara has the vessel of the Ten Tails and he wields immense power of his own, even with the Hōgyoku activated there's only a 50/50 shot at beating Madara Uchiha . You two are far too evenly matched at this point however if he manages to awaken the 10 Tails before you reactivate the Hōgyoku, you have no chance of beating Madara " Gin stated.

" That's why i have two trump cards in mind , one of them is with us in Las Noches and the other one is within the Menos Forest training as we speak " Aizen replied as he slips down his tea and looks at his monitor.

Meanwhile within Menos Forest

Sasuke is within a cave where the mysterious Shinigami is at. After a few hours of explaining his backstory and revealing himself as Ashido Kano, a former Vice Captain from Squad 2, 200 years ago.

" So you're a Vice Captain that got lost here 200 years ago ? " Sasuke asked Ashido.

" Yes i am ! " Ashido answered.

" How the hell you survived here for so long and how were you so strong without releasing your sword ? " Sasuke asked .

" By eating enough Hollows i slain combined with the psychical training of having to survive in this brutal part of the world , my power increased by 500% over the last 2 centuries " Ashido explained to Sasuke.

" So what do you hope to gain being here ? You can come back at anytime" Sasuke asked.

" I can't leave here until i ensure that i kill the one who slain my comrades and to make sure that the human world is safe from the powerful hollows that plague here " Ashido answered.

" So are you the one known as The Hollow Reaper ? " Sasuke asked.

" Why you ask ? " Ashido questioned the young shinobi.

" Nothing , i just heard about you from other Hollows here " Sasuke answered.

" You're no ordinary plus. You're clearly a Shinigami who's eaten some of the Hollows here to survive like me "Ashido stated.

" So this is the guy i have to kill ? I have no chance if i fight him now however , if i train with him and get stronger, i will be able to beat him " Sasuke said to himself.

" What's up with you ? " Ashido asked.

" I was thinking, you can train me in sword combat . I saw your skills, i wish to be as strong as you " Sasuke answered.

" Very well then but in one condition, you help me kill the hollow who guards this place " Ashido stated.

" Very well then ! " Sasuke replied as he draws out his sword.

Both attacks collide with each other but Sasuke's blade is being pushed down by one hand from Ashido while Sasuke holds his blade with both hands.

" Not bad, your sword skills are on par with a 5th seat , therefore i'll fight you on the level of a 5th seat " Ashido said to Sasuke as he swings his blade towards him.

" Damn he's strong , i got to be careful ! " Sasuke said to himself as he goes for a jumping slash but Ashido block with little effort.

" Don't take your eyes off your opponent ! " Ashido stated as he appears behind Sasuke with Shunpo and goes to do a jump slash but the Uchiha survivor dodges the blade.

Ashido comes at Sasuke with a powerful dashing slash but Sasuke barely dodges with his shoulder getting cut . Sasuke goes to slash him but Ashido disappears before his eyes.

" He's also pretty fast too, this limiter makes me almost as weak as Sakura " Sasuke said to himself only to see Ashido behind him.

" So is that all you got ? " Ashido asked Sasuke as he goes to stab him but he dodges the blade and goes to stab Ashido with a full power double-bladed slash but Ashido knock Sasuke's blade out of his hand with a causal swipe of his sword and points his blade at Sasuke.

" Damn you got me ! " Sasuke said to Ashido.

" Your pretty skilled, however you need to increase your strength more in order to survive more than one Menos " Ashido answered as he draws back his sword.

" So you're going to train me ? " Sasuke asked.

" Sure , you have promise ! " Ashido answered.

Meanwhile at Skullak room

Cirucci is punishing Loly and Menoly with her whip after learning they told Ninorta the location of Orihime's cell.

" You bitches ! You told Ninorta where Orihime was at ? " Cirucci shouted as she whips both Loly and Menoly.

" We were hoping he make her pay for being a pampered little bitch " Loly answered as she's hit hard with the whip .

" We wanted to see her suffer ! " Loly stated as she's hit by the whip but also blushes.

" You bitches are that mean-spirited that you'll allow a fellow woman to suffer the worst kind of torture that could inflicted on a sentient being ? You're both punished and forbidden to leave this room until you think what you've done " Cirucci shouted as she shackles them to the floor while Skullak and Orihime wait outside for her.

" So what are we going to do now ? " Orihime asked Skullak .

" We going to hang out with Dordoni and Gantenbainne for the rest of the day " Skullak answered as he holds onto Orihime's hand.

Konoha

8:00 A.M. Konoha has recovered a bit from the destruction it suffered 6 days ago. Darkness engulfs the village as the 920,000 survivors wake up to a day of mourning Konoha Shinobi are busy handing out breakfast to the villagers.

" This is so depressing ! " Ebisu said to his students.

" This sucks big time , why did uncle Asuma have to die ? " Konohamaru asked as he hands out food to one of the villagers.

" Indeed ! " Mogei replied.

"We first need to make sure this village is okay and repaired to take on the Shinigami again " Ebisu stated.

" At this rate, it'll take a year to repair this village thanks to the Tsuchikage " Udon replied.

" I plan to train until i reach the level of a Captain and then i can get revenge for uncle Asuma " Konohamaru replied as he puts a steel beam through 2 massive rocks each weighing 50 tons and are 20 feet high and starts to lift them .

" What are you doing Konohamaru ? You'll strain yourself trying to do all that " Ebisu shouted.

" I must do this for Naruto ! " Konohamaru replied as he manages to lift each of the massive rocks 3 feet above the ground before falling and collapsing to the floor from exhaustion.

" At this rate, Konohamaru i going to have to face early retirement " Ebisu said to himself.

Meanwhile Rock Lee is trying to do his morning exercises after Tsunade's surgery . Rock Lee is doing pushups trying to maintain physical fitness when Tenten comes by and stops him.

"Stop exercising Lee, you're in no condition to train yourself " Tenten said to Lee.

" I must continue to exercise in order to keep up my physical fitness ! " Lee replied.

" You'll end up hurting yourself ! " Tenten stated .

" I can't just sit here and do nothing, i must train to get stronger ! " Lee replied .

" Still the strain on your body could worsen your condition " Tenten said to Lee.

" Don't worry, i'll start light ! " Lee replied as he picks up 2 dumbbells that each weigh 1 ton.

" That's light ? " Tenten questioned Lee shocked to see him effortlessly lifting those weights .

" Lee that's not bad , but that's child's play . Try that with these 2 ton weights " Gai said to Lee.

" Right ! " Lee replied as he picks up 2 ton weights and starts to lift them just as easily.

" Now let's run 200 laps across the village while doing curls " Gai said to Lee.

" Right ! " Lee replied as he dashes with Gai with those weights.

" Looks like Lee is back to normal " Neji said to Tenten.

" It's amazing he can even move at supersonic speeds even with weights ! " Tenten replied.

" At this point , Lee is going to be faster than the Yellow Flash " Neji responded as he sees the two running off.

Meanwhile Sai is observing the carter with his left prosthetic arm attached to him after losing his arm to Orihime's attack . Sai is drawing a picture of the new Konoha when Sakura comes towards him.

" So how's your arm doing ? " Sakura asked.

" Fine, it still feelings numb ! " Sai answered.

" That's because the nerves in your body haven't got used to the arm. Try fighting in that condition and you'll need to reset the operation . You would need 5 days for your body to get use to your limb surgery " Sakura explained to Sai.

" I must thank you for the arm surgery again " Sai stated.

" No problem, say Sai want to hang out for the day ? " Sakura asked the pale skin shinobi.

" Very well then ! " Sai replied as he walks with Sakura to spend some time with Sakura.

Kurosaki Clinic

9:00 A.M. Ichigo wakes up for breakfast with Isshin coming into his room as usual .

" GOOD MORNING ICHIGO ! " Isshin shouted as he goes to dropkick Ichigo but Ichigo dodges the attack .

" You don't change at all do you dad ? " Ichigo asked.

" Fine then ! " Ichigo replied.

" Come downstairs Ichigo, i have breakfast served up " Yuzu stated.

" After i get dressed ! " Ichigo replied.

" Let's go down to eat ! " Karin said to Yuzu and Isshin.

" Very well then ! " Isshin replied as he walks out the door.

Ichigo then gets a call from Rukia from the Soul Society.

" Hey Ichigo ! " Rukia said to Ichigo.

" Rukia, what are you doing here ? " Ichigo asked.

" Looks like Unohana's is ready for surgery " Rukia answered.

" When would it be ready ? " Ichigo questioned.

" Tomorrow ! " Rukia replied.

" Why can't it be today ? " Ichigo asked the raven haired Shinigami.

" Unohana is still recovering from that Kidō she used to restore your town " Rukia stated.

" I remember now ! " Ichigo replied as he thinks back to the past.

2 days ago

" Bless our creator that gives us knowledge, courage and power, now guide my hand in your exact image. Recreate all destroyed within the hellfires , restore all which is holy, recreate everything and restores things to where they once stood Kaikaku Jūyōde ( 改革の重要で Matter Reformation ) " Unohana chanted as she puts her hands on the ground as green Reiatsu glows on the ground as a pentagram forms around the city and it hits all the Kidō rods in the city which then forms into a glowing green star engulfing the city.

" What's going on ? " Ichigo asked Unohana.

" This Kidō here requires one to have special Kidō rods to set the perimeter of the area needed to be reconstructed . Now comes the next step " Unohana explained to Ichigo as she pulls out her Zanpakutō .

" What is the next step ? " Shinji asked.

" It's time i use my Bankai. It's the only way to complete the Kidō " Unohana said to everyone.

" Your not going to use that ? " Kisuke asked her.

" I must, it's the only way to fix this entire city ! " Unohana replied as she glows with a green Reiatsu which starts to glow around them.

" Brace yourselves people. The release of a Shintachio's Bankai is rough and violent " Shinji said to the team while standing his ground.

" Bankai ! " Unohana chanted as she stabs her sealed Zanpakutō into the ground and creates a green flash of light engulfing the entire city in the area. The massive amount of energy released from her Bankai begins the recreation of Karakura Town.

" What's going on ? What is this power ? I never felt anything this powerful before " Ichigo asked as he's brought to his knees from Unohana's Reiatsu despite being in Bankai.

" So this the Reiatsu of the strongest woman in the world ? " Shinji asked them as he struggles to stand with his hand over his face.

" This is madness, how can she have that much power ? " Rose asked as he puts his hand over his face trying to withstand being knocked down to the ground.

" She's one of the Shintachio for a reason ! " Kensei stated as he struggles to stand from the Reiatsu wave.

" Incredible, she's incredibly powerful ! " Love replied as he struggle to stand.

" Nothing less from the woman who helped the Soul Society the most ! " Ryūken responded as he's unable to stand up.

Meanwhile at Karakura High School, Uryū ,Hitsugaya, Chad and Kukaku sense the Reiatsu coming from a distance as well as the others.

" What's going on here ? " Hitsugaya asked.

" The city is being reformed ! " Kukaku answered.

" What ? But how ? " Chad asked.

" I heard about this, this is a Forbidden Kidō capable of restoring anything to it's former state " Momo answered.

" Forbidden Kidō ? " Jinta asked.

" It's called Kaikaku Jūyōde ( 改革の重要で Matter Reformation ) , it's a powerful Kidō passed down by centuries since the founding of the Soul Society " Hachigen answered.

" What do you mean ? " Ikkaku asked.

" Kaikaku Jūyōde ( 改革の重要で Matter Reformation ) isn't ordinary Kidō , it's alchemy that has the power to reform anything within the radius of the pentagram placed by 5 special Kidō rods. Those rods encircle the radius of the area needed to be restored . By using the incantation with hand signs, one can create the binding perimeter which would then from the area into a glowing star. The final step is to stab one's Zanpakutō into the ground and release a massive amount of energy into the pentagram and use all that power to bring back anything within the circle " Tessai explained to the group.

" So Unohana can bring back anything destroyed ? " Ririn asked.

" She could only bring back matter like buildings,water, cars and trees, she can't bring back humans that were recently killed without killing herself . To use the final step of this alchemy, one must use a massive amount of power to convert into the Kidō spell. Using her Bankai, she can bring back even entire cities from destruction but that's not without a cost " Tessai explained to the team.

" What is the cost ? " Cloud asked.

" Unohana would be unable to use her Zanpakutō for a full week. She wouldn't even be able to use Kidō for 3 days and would be too weakened to move around much at that time " Tessai replied as they watch the city get reformed.

Rocks begin to reform around the crater as the crater gets refilled and then the crater get closed up. Buildings start to reform from it's steel construction and then gets filled up with concrete , bricks and mortar to from the brick walls of the buildings. After all the buildings are reformed , the streets are put back together and all the cars and trees as well as grass and plants reform. Karasu river and all the water within the city reform . After the massive 10 mile diameter green energy mist dome rebuilds the entire city, all the mist get sucked back in like a hurricane and forms a giant eye at the middle of the dome and then a massive mouth forms before the energy dome collapses into the sheath of Unohana's Zanpakutō and Unohana goes back to sealed sword form. All of Karakura Town has been rebuilt from the ground up from Unohana's Kidō and Bankai combination.

Ichigo and the others look around shocked to see the entire city rebuilt from starch . Ichigo , Shinji, Love, Rose, Kensei and Ryūken stand at Tatsuki's house 200 meters north of Ichigo's house as well as Tessai , Yoruichi and Isshin.

" Impossible ! She rebuild the whole city with just one Kidō spell !" Ichigo said shocked to see the entire city restored to it's former glory and look.

" Amazing , this is beyond the boundaries of creation " Shinji stated as he looks at shock to see the city rebuilt.

" It succeeded ! " Unohana said to the group as she collapses to the ground and passes out from the exhaustion of all her Reiatsu.

" Captain Unohana , are you okay ? " Ichigo asked her as he falls to his knees and his Bankai reverts back to his Shikai.

" It seems like she's at her limit of power. Don't worry she won't die provided she rests for a full week " Tessai explained to Ichigo.

Present Day

" How are you holding out right now ? " Rukia asked Ichigo.

" Physically i'm fine , mentally not so much . I miss Orihime and i want her back " Ichigo answered.

" Calm down Ichigo , last thing we need you to do is to make things worse " Rukia stated.

" Don't worry, i can't turn into my Shinigami form without my badge and Kon was taken to Kisuke's shop " Ichigo replied.

" I mean after the surgery is done , we'll help bring back Orihime. Until then, try anything to get your mind off it for now " Rukia said to Ichigo.

" I been doing that by hanging out with the family , i'm going to one of my dad's old friends house to help her start a business later on " Ichigo stated.

" Good job, the more calm and more occupied you are , the better things would get " Rukia replied.

" It's hard to stay calm when the woman you love is in the hands of the man who sent his creation to kill your mother and her mother. I hate to thin of the horrible shit he's planning to do with Orihime " Ichigo stated.

" Don't get carried away. Kisuke stated that Aizen needs Orihime within a 100% stable mindset, what your thinking he would do would be counterproductive to using Orihime's full power. I'll be much more worried of him manipulating Orihime and turning her against us rather than Aizen trying to benefit from Orihime's body , besides i doubt Aizen's that type of villain " Rukia explained to Ichigo.

" I'm guess i'm being paranoid ! " Ichigo replied.

" Don't worry, Kisuke is planning something big as well as the Vizards, Orihime would be free very soon " Rukia said to her friend.

" Thanks Rukia, i owe you for comforting me " Ichigo stated.

" I should be thanking you for what happened in the Soul Society, you saved my life back there. Hell if i wasn't in love with Renji, i would of easily went with you " Rukia replied.

" So when is the surgery scheduled ? " Ichigo asked.

" It's going to scheduled at 10: 00 A.M. Tomorrow, basically you won't be going to school there for the day " Rukia answered.

" But what about my firends ? " Ichigo asked.

" Don't worry , we have Kon to fill in your shoes " Rukia answered.

" Kon ? Are you nuts ? The last thing i need to worry about is ending up on the register sex offender list because of him " Ichigo stated.

" Don't worry, Kisuke has given Kon an offer he can't refuse ! " Rukia replied.

Meanwhile at Kisuke's Shop

Kisuke has made Kon his own Gigal in the form of an attractive young man who appears to be in his 20's . The man has long black hair slicked back with a goatee and thin mustache, the man also has green eyes and a tan skin complexion and is very muscular with some hair on his chest.

" Whoa, that looks awesome. I can be a real chick magnet with this body " Kon said to Kisuke.

" And you can have it , provided you fill in for Ichigo everyday for the next three months , at least during the school days and you must keep all the notes of his homework and classwork . You also must not act perverted at all and be on your best behavior and hold back on the kicking strength when you fight " Kisuke explained to Kon.

" Deal ! I'll try hard to be on my best behavior " Kon replied while still in his plushie form.

" Do that perfectly and you can freely roam the night in this Gigal. It even comes with a 12 inch cock so you can really satisfy the ladies " Kisuke said to Kon.

" You got yourself a done deal ! " Kon happily replied.

Meanwhile at Dordoni's Palace

Dordoni and Gantenbainne boxing with each other in a friendly sparring match with Orihime and Skullak watching with Cirucci.

" That's enough for now Dordoni ! " Gantenbainne said to Dordoni.

" Yeah , we can't afford to bruise each other up like this can't we ? " Dordoni said to his friend.

" So what are we going to do now ? " Orihime asked Dordoni .

" We're all going to dance with each other Nina " Dordoni answered as he does a ballerina spin.

" No way in hell are we doing that ! " Cirucci stated.

" Why not ? That looks fun ! " Orihime replied as she does a ballerina spin .

" Come on Cirucci, loosen up a bit ! " Skullak said to his lover as he does the spin too.

" Not you too, fine i'll do it ! " Cirucci replied as she spins around like Orihime.

Meanwhile at Las Noches

Ibiki is walking around with her friends when they bump into Ninorta who's in a bad mood walking around with his Fracción .

" Watch were you're going !" Ninorta shouted as he pushes Ibiki and her friends aside only to notice Ibiki.

" Sorry about that sir ! " Ibiki replied as she feels on her head.

" Say you look lovely ! " Ninorta said to Ibiki as he grabs her face .

" Stop it, you're not my type ! " Ibiki replied as she slaps his face.

" Luna what the hell are you doing ? " Saido shouted.

" What do you mean what am i doing ? I'm not going to let some creep touch me " Ibiki replied only to be punched down by Ninorta.

" You moronic bitch, i'm the 5th Espada Ninorta Gilga . You better show me some fucking respect you filthy whore " Ninorta shouted as he grabs her.

" Listen, she's new here , she didn't know better .Please don't kill her " Burak stated as he begs for forgiveness .

" Fine but on one condition, this woman becomes my pet " Ninorta replied.

" Pet ? " Ibiki asked.

" Ya know pet, you cook for me, clean for me and suck my dick when i want you to , Basically you're my bitch and you 'll like it " Ninorta explained to Ibiki.

" No way in hell, i'm a strong ,independent woman who would fight her own battles. I don't care if you're an Espada or not , i at least have the right to speak my mind as an equal when it comes to sex " Ibiki ranted.

" You an equal to me in terms of gender ? Hahahahahahaha! I just can't freakin' stand it. On the battlefield, a woman standin' above the men, women belong in the kitchen or in the bedroom , they have no place of the battlefield " Ninorta explained to Ibiki.

" Who belongs in the kitchen ? " Harribel asked as she walks towards Ninorta.

" It's the 3rd Espada ! " Sukoporu cheerfully stated as he hides behind Ibiki.

" What are you doing here ? " Ninorta asked.

" Leave her right now or you have to answer to me " Harribel answered.

" No, this would be my lucky day. I get to defeat another woman within this place " Ninorta stated as he swings his axe at Harribel but she effortlessly catches the axehead barehanded while the ground around her cracks and gets uplifted 5 feet high.

" Shit , these Espadas are monsters ! " Ibiki said to herself as she watches Harribel easily crush Ninorta's axe with her right hand.

" Fuck ! " Ninorta shouted.

" Next time, that would be your skull if you bully another woman " Harribel said to the lanky Espada.

" Right ! " Ninorta replied as he picks up the pieces of his axe.

" Shall i help you in picking up the pieces ? " Tesla asked.

" Go fuck yourself " Ninorta answered while picking up the pieces

Meanwhile Harribel is with Ibiki and her friends .

" You got to be more careful roaming this place " Harribel said to Ibiki.

" Sorry about that " Ibiki replied.

" Luna, Las Noches is a dangerous place to be within , how about you and your friends tag alone with me for the day ? " Harribel asked Ibiki.

" Sure thing ! " Ibiki answered.

" Sound fine to us! " her friends replied.

" Damn, with more company, it's going to be harder than i thought to search the whole fortress " Ibiki said to herself.

Konoha

10:00 A.M. The Raikage and Mizukage arrive at the village with Aō and Chōjiro. Killer Bee has been escorted back to Kumogakure by Darui and C . They walk around to see the village partially rebuilt by Onoki .

" Looks like Tsuchikage helped fix the place up around here , Samui stated that the village was once miles below sea level " A said to the Mizukage.

" Still this place is drier than the canyons at the Land of Earth ! " Mei replied.

" It amazes me that Onoki would do all this for the Hokage ! " Chōjiro stated.

" Don't be so naïve , that old man wanted something out for payment " Aō replied.

They arrive at the Hokage Palace with the Hokage standing by with Baki and Onoki with Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi ,Kankurō and Temari as well as Kakashi and Shizune.

" So it seems everyone has appeared here today ? " Tsunade said to the Kages.

" Yes we have , we ran into no trouble along the way " A answered.

" Where's your brother ? " Onoki asked.

" He was sent home and would be punished for leaving Kumogakure without my permission " A answered.

" That fool had us all worried sick thinking he was captured but he was really clowning around not far from the Kage Summit with his Enka firends " Mei explained to Tsunade.

" That fool. Looks like he hasn't changed much " Tsunade replied.

" Enough of that idiot, tell us where Jiraiya died " A said to the Hokage.

" He was found 35 miles west of the village , he blew himself up with his Final Rasengan in order to kill one of the Shintachio " Tsunade explained to the guys.

" Shintachio ? " Baki asked.

" Those are the Legendary Three Senior Captains . each of them are as powerful as the Legendary Sannin . I fought one of them myself " Tsunade answered.

" Wait , there are Shinigami that powerful ? " Temari asked.

" Yeah, i barely survived my battle with one of them, he was my toughest opponent within my lifetime ,almost as strong as the Third Raikage's student and right hand man " Tsunade explained to the group.

" You mean Darui's father Senshi Masayoshi ? It was amazing that you could of defeated a man powerful enough to have once survived a battle with the White Fang and came close to capturing the Nine Tails , the closest person since the Kinkaku brothers from a distant past " A stated praising Tsunade's skills.

" Don't take it personally, it was war . Senshi fought as a brave man , he was able to force me into using 500% my power limit to defeat him besides, he was the man who took my father's life but that's in the past . I had a tougher time with the because i used half of my Chakra to heal and protect most of this village " Tsunade stated.

" Senshi was the most powerful Shinobi of his generation , he was the one who invented the Gale Style Kekkei Genkai and it got passed down to his son. Had the Third Raikage mastered the Black Lightning Release during the war and not 2 years after the war. Senshi would of been the first to gain it and the tide of the war would had shifted to Kumogakure favor " Onoki explained to them.

" Darui has the potential to surpass his father's power now that he has both Gale and Black Lightning but it's a shame he's so lazy " A stated.

" The same with Kakashi but enough praising of our best Jōunin ,let's stay on point " Tsunade replied.

" Is there any chance that this Sōsuke Aizen guy is also related to the Shintachio ? " Mei asked Tsunade which causes Tsunade to think back to the past.

6 days ago

" We know that you are working for Sōsuke Aizen , we have no wishes to harm any innocent lives and we are here to merely liberate the village from Aizen's control.

" Sōsuke Aizen ? Who the hell is Sōsuke Aizen ? " Tsunade asked the two confused at what they are saying.

" Don't play dumb here, we know you Shinobi were created by Sōsuke Aizen , how else can mere humans maintain powers on par with a Shinigami " Ukitake explained to Tsunade.

" You're very arrogant to think we gained powers by one man. We are born with these powers , i never heard about Sōsuke Aizen in my entire life " Tsunade replied to the duo.

Present Day

" I only heard his name mentioned once , the Shinigami who told me this claimed that this Aizen guy created us " Tsunade stated.

" A guy going by that name attacked the Kage Summit, he claimed to be the right hand man of Captain Commander Yamamoto " A replied.

" So you're telling me this Aizen guy actually exists ? " Tsunade asked them.

" He was able to hold his own with all the Kages within the summit without calling for his Bankai, we believe he might of been the one to kill Danzo " Mei answered.

" He's that powerful ? " Tsunade questioned the red-haired Kage.

" Yep, he easily took us out without any effort ! " Kankurō stated.

" No sooner did he shatter his sword and release his Shikai, we were on the ground bleeding " Baki explained to the Hokage.

" The same thing happened to me and Gai when we fought those Shintachio , no sooner they used Shikai , we were down " Kakashi explained to them.

" This guy was different, this guy took 4 of us out with just the release of his sword ! " Temari stated.

" 4 Jōunins at once ? Just how strong is he ? " Kakashi replied.

" Enough talk, we should head to the crater " Kurotsuchi said to the group.

" Yeah, we don't have a moment to waste ! " Yamato replied.

" Let's get going ! " Tsunade said to the group as they walk to the crater.

Meanwhile at Squad 4's barracks.

Shunsui and Ukitake are being checked up on by Unohana. Unohana checks on Shunsui's wounds which are still bandaged up underneath his clothes.

" How's your injuries ? " Unohana asked Shunsui.

" Still recovering from the wounds ! " Shunsui answered.

" What about you Ukitake ? " Unohana asked.

" My neck still feels a bit stiff ! " Ukitake answered.

" It's amazing how close you two came to dying nearly a week ago " Unohana stated.

" Tell me about it ! " Shunsui replied as he thinks to the past .

6 Days ago

"If i'm dying, i'm not going out without a fight. I wonder if you Shinigami have an afterlife of your own or do you cease to exist ... either way...you and i would both vanish from this existence ... Let's end this ... FINAL RASENAGN ! " Jiraiya chanted as he uses his entire life force to form blue energy around his entire body as it heads towards Shunsui.

" FUCK ! " Shunsui shouted as you were caught in the explosion but then Tessai appeared to use his Bankai.

" Bankai ! " Tessai chanted as his Zanpakutō transformed and he automatically released his power. He used his Bankai to slow down time just enough to remove Shunsui from the blast and then used Bakudō # 96 . Kūkanten'i (空間転位, Spatial Displacement ) to warp each other away.

Present Day

" Not to mention the fact i actually died in battle ! " Ukitake responded as he thinks back to what happened to him.

6 days ago

Ukitake's pov

I fought the Fifth Hokage in the life or death battle, after an half an hour of chaos, it came down to the final strike.

" She's at her limit, she won't be able to reincarnate herself the second time around . I must take her out with one strike. I must use this attack again "i stated as i wielded the thunderbolt shaped sword with two hands " Raijin Raiha ( 雷神の雷刃 Lightning Blade of the Thunder God)" i shouted as i came at Tsunade with a two hand running stab.

" So you wish to end this ? I'll end this with everything i got " Tsunade replied as she puts both hands in a cross formation and her body forms an intense purple chakra with electricity surging around her and acid forming around her gauntlets " Shisaigo Tengoku Tenshi( 死最後天国天使 Angel of Death Final Paradise ) " Tsunade chanted as she goes to use both hands in her punch with purple chakra around her body forming angel wings on her back.

Both attacks collide with each other with both attacks emitting energy waves 15 miles in diameter . The light blue aura around my body clashed with Tsunade's light purple aura but my blade is overpowered by her raw strength.

" Impossible ,she's overpowering my attack " i stated as my energy wave destroyed everything around me within a 15 mile semi radius while being held back by Tsunade's fist.

" Take this ! " Tsunade shouted as she shattered my blade with her punch which emits a 15 mile radius shockwave as well and then hits me with her right hand right to the face which creates a massive explosion blowing up everything within a 15 mile radius leveling 15,360,000 trees within the area.

I thought i was a goner , i laid on the ground sinking into the realm of death with my bones sticking out and the right side of my face gone from the devastating blow. Then i woke up again thanks to you .

" Unohana, i'm alive ! " Ukitake said to you.

" I was afraid i wasn't going to fix your neck . I almost lost you there " you stated.

" Looks like you're the lucky one yet again Ukitake " Shunsui replied .

Present Day

3rd Person pov

" It was a close call , hopefully we don't have to worry about that again " Unohana stated.

" Sadly, we'll be lucky if this ever happens again , next time it might just be over for us " Shunsui replied.

" You two need to rest for the next 3 weeks and just do paperwork and desk jobs, you're far from ready in the battle " Unohana said to the two of them.

" Right ! " Shunsui replied.

Meanwhile at Jiraiya's Rasengan crater

Tsunade and the other Kages with their bodyguards walk to the massive crater 35 miles away from him at the Hokage monument. The area around the crater is a barren wasteland with damaged tree and rocks around the area as well as several leveled mountains. The crater is 10 miles in diameter and 3 miles deep .

" That's an insanely deep crater ! " Kankurō said to the Hokage.

" It's just as big as the one Konoha was within " Temari replied as she looks around the crater area.

" So this hole was Jirayia's doing ? " Onoki asked.

" Yes, that was the attack he used to kill the Shintachio " Tsunade answered.

" It's as deep as an ocean ! " Mei stated.

" It' amazing how strong you Sannin were , it's no wonder he was able to defeat my first son " Onoki replied.

" We're no stronger than the Kages " Tsunade modesty stated.

" Still you guys were always great fighters ! " Baki replied.

" Is that Jiraiya's remains down there at the pit ? " Shizune asked everyone as they stare at the stone fragments with one of them having Jiraiya's face.

" Damn those Shinigami !" Tsunade shouted as she clenches her fist with anger.

" What a depressing site ! " Chōjiro said to Aō.

" Agreed, it's grim ! " Aō replied.

" Mei , can you fill this crater up with water ? " Tsunade asked the Mizukage.

" That's a very large crater your asking me to fill but fine, you owe us big time with this " Mei answered as she charges up her aura.

" Lady Mizukage , you'll exhaust yourself doing all this " Aō stated.

" It's well worth it ! " Mei replied as she has a wave of mist around her.

" Yamato , let me lend you my Chakra " Tsunade said to Yamato as she puts her hands on his back.

" What are you doing ? " Yamato asked .

" Overcharging you Chakra, since i'm a Senju , my Chakra should be compatible to your Wood Release even if i can't use that Kekkai Genkai " Tsunade answered.

" Water Style: Exploding Water Shock Wave " Mei chanted as she shoots a massive wave of water from her mouth which then expands into a massive wave which then hits the bottom of the crater and then rapidly expands upward . The water wave then goes upward and within 2 minutes the crater fills up to the top with Mei being exhausted. Mei manages to convert her Chakra into 5,855,243,000 meters ^3 of water or 144,569,740,835 gallons of water producing the energy equivalent of 100 Megatons of TNT, twice the yield of the Tsar Bomba.

" Unbelievable , she filled up the whole crater by herself " Shizune stated.

" What insane power , she overdid it a bit " Aō stated shocked to see the crater fully flooded.

" A, cut through all the dirt and connect that ditch to the Konoha river " Tsunade said to A.

" Right ! " A replied as he charge up more power.

" Ready Yamato ? " Tsunade asked.

" Anytime you're ready ! " Yamato answered.

" Lightning Release Armor lv 2 " A chanted he charges up more Chakra around him which them causes his muscles to get slightly bigger and his hair becomes spiky like a Super Sayain.

" What's he going to do ? " Shizune asked.

" He's going to use his strongest attack " Darui answered.

" Lightning Straight " A chanted as he dashes at 4,950,000 ft/sec ( 3,375,000 MPH) with Lightning Release Armor or Mach 4, 395 . Within a split second A created a 200 foot deep , 35 mile long and 400 foot wide fissure through the ground with his speed. Raikage's highspeed punch produces the yield of 160 Megatons of TNT , leveling 9,368,388,800 meters ^3 of rock.

" Onoki now ! " Tsunade said to Onoki.

" Very well then ! " Onoki replied as he claps his hands together " " Doton: Chidōkaku ( 土遁・地動核 Earth Style: Mobile Core ) " Onoki chanted as he creates the ground to rise up up to 1,000 feet below sea level from 3 miles below sea level , which then causes all the excess water to flood into the rivers of Konoha and cover the entire riverbed of Konoha restoring water to the area. The lifting energy of the jutsu created 4,137,154,560 meters^3 of rock and produced 70 Megatons of TNT force from the creation of more ground.

" Now Yamato ! " Tsunade said to Yamato.

" Right , Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kōtan ( 木遁秘術・樹界降誕 Secret Earth Jutsu: Deep Forest Creation ) " Yamato chanted as he creates branches and roots from the ground.

" Now take my Chakra, Chakra Transfer Justu " Tsunade chanted as she gives Yamato all her Chakra while holding on to him causing the trees to grow around the man-made river that connects to Konoha river and Naka River and covers everything around a 1,000 foot radius of the waterways with trees thanks to the power of Tsunade's Chakra feeding his power. Tsunade was able to transfer and convert the energy yield of 266 Megatons of TNT all into Yamato to convert it all into trees .

Both of them are severely exhausted from the use of that technique.

" Incredible , Tsunade lend him that much Chakra ? " Baki said to the others.

" Boy , i never felt this strong before ! " Yamato said to Tsunade.

" That was the full extent of my Chakra ! " Tsunade replied worn out from the use of her Chakra.

" Now we can prepare funeral arrangements for all of those who died " Kakashi responded.

" We can't fix everything around her but this should do for now " Tsunade said to everyone.

Meanwhile at Konoha

People look around to see trees have been regrown around all the waterways within Konoha and the river has been restored.

" The river is flowing with life ! " said one of the villagers.

" It must be the work of the five Kages " one of the villagers stated.

" But who created all these trees ? " another villager asked.

" This seems like the work of Yamato but only Tsunade would have enough power to spread it this far yet i heard she can't use Wood Style " another villager answered.

Meanwhile at Karakura Town

Ichigo arrives at the Unagiya Shop, located 1 mile west of Kisuke's shop. Ichigo walks into the shop only to be grabbed by Ikumi and dragged inside .

" Hey Ichigo, you came early ! " Ikumi said to Ichigo.

" You didn't have to drag me inside you know !" Ichigo stated.

" It's great having a young lad like you here ! " Ikumi replied with a smile on her face.

Suddenly the phone within the shop starts to ring and she goes to pick them up.

" Hello welcome , this is Unagiya Shop! Cheap ! Safe and fast ! " Ikumi said to customer.

" May i get two orders of the extra special quality ? " one of the customers asked.

" This isn't an eel shop you idiot ! " Ikumi answered shouting at the man.

" But i thought this was an eel shop because Unagi means eel " the customer stated.

" That' the name of this store moron ! " Ikumi replied as she hangs up the phone.

" May i suggest something ? Maybe you should change the name of the shop " Ichigo asked his boss.

" I refuse to-change the name of this shop. This shop is named from the last name i inherited from my ancestors " Ikumi answered.

" Great my first employer is an nutjob MILF ! " Ichigo said to himself.

" Now Ichigo i need you to do these jobs that i got yesterday " Ikumi said to the young ginger .

" Just these jobs . I need you to take care of the Kondou residence rabbit on Mashiba block 2, i also need you to clean up the Fukushima residence merchandise on block, and i also need you to clean up Yamashita's garden on South Kawase Block 1 " Ikumi explained to her employee.

" That's alot of work, can't you do some of these things yourself ? " Ichigo asked his boss.

" That's too much work kid, what do you think i hired you for ? " Ikumi answered.

" Mom, where are you ? " Karou asked his mother.

" Hold on to these ! " Ikumi said to Ichigo as she throws her gloves and hat and puts on her apon.

" I'm hungry for some lunch mommy ! " Karou said to his mother.

" Don't worry, lunch would be ready at noon which is 20 minutes from now " Ikumi stated.

" I can't wait ! " Karou replied.

" So Ichigo, care to have lunch before you begin you job ? " Ikumi asked.

" Sure thing ! " Ichigo answered.

" Hey kid, don't try to get close to mommy because she's beautiful " Karuo said to Ichigo in a onbxious tone.

" Are you kidding me ? It would never work between me and your mother. She's way too old for me " Ichigo stated only to get hit in the head by his boss.

" You're calling me old ? " Ikumi shouted staring at Ichigo.

" No, i'm not calling you old, i'm just saying you're old enough to be my mother. You actually look young firm and beautiful " Ichigo explained to Ikumi only to get hit in the head by his boss again.

" Quit drooling over me pervert ! " Ikumi replied.

" Damn, she's crazy. I have a crazy chick as my boss but then again this is my dad's friends, what do i expect . Still i wonder what Orihime is up to now " Ichigo said to himself.

Meanwhile at Las Noches

Orihime is with Skullak when they bump into Grimmjow.

" Hey Grimmjow ! " Skullak said to Grimmjow.

" Hey Skullak, what's the prisoner doing here ? " Grimmjow asked.

" She's hanging out with us right now ! " Cirucci answered.

" Care to hang with us ? " Skullak asked .

" What are you guys doing ? " Grimmjow asked.

" Just hanging out with her ! " Skullak answered.

" Sure , let's start by sparring with each other ! " Grimmjow stated.

" Very well then ,let's head out to the sandlot ! " Skullak replied.

Meanwhile at Harribel's Palace

Ibiki is hanging out with Harribel and Fracción.

" So what do you want to do ? " Harribel asked Ibiki.

" I don't know! " Ibiki answered.

" Come on, your telling us there's nothing you want to do ? " Apache asked.

" Nah, i'm feeling tired actually ! " Ibiki replied.

" Very well then , the beds are over there " Mila stated.

" Thanks ! " Ibiki replied as she goes to the bedroom and while their not around set up a realistic clone of herself.

" Smooth move Ibiki " Kisuke said to Ibiki.

" Thanks ! " Ibiki responded.

" You got at least 8 hours to sneak around freely now , they'll most likely wake you up between 6 and 8. Use Bakudō #26 and remain hidden and collect more information on this place as much as possible " Yoruichi explained to Ibiki.

" Got it ! " Ibiki replied as she cloaks herself.

Konoha Lake

12:00 Noon . All the people in the village walk across a 4 mile long bridge across the recently created 10 mile diameter Konoha lake onto a 1 mile diameter island 30 feet above sea level. The island created by Onoki contains 279,859 gravestones of all the people who were killed by the Shinigami attack and around the center of the island is a dense collection of large gravestones for the 1,300 Shinobi that died defending Konoha. At the very center of the island stands 3 statues, one of them is Asuma and the other one is Jiraiya . The Last statue is Danzō who recently lost his life to Aizen requested by Aizen. The sky is dark and gloomy ,fitting the mood of the funeral.

1,900 Shinobi all attend the funeral dressed in black holding flowers in their hands. Each of them are sad to see their loved one and family members dead from the Shinigami .

" Rain , it's ironic that it's falling on a day like this . Last time i attended a funeral , you were at my side Asuma " Kurenai said to the statue of Asuma as she puts flowers at the statue and a pack of cigarettes.'

" Why did Asuma have to die the way he did ? " Ino asked Shikamaru.

" Why weren't we strong enough to stop him from dying ? " Shikamaru answered with a question.

" This sucks big time ! " Chōji stated as he flashes back to the past.

6 Days ago

" Hiohaku Hien Noshuyoku (火を吐く:を主翼飛燕 Flaming Wings of the Flying Swallow ) "Asuma chanted as his Chakra blade becomes a flaming blade.

" Shunkō ( 瞬閧, Flash Cry ) " Soifon chanted as she glows with white Reiatsu with wind around her body.

" Time to end this , Hien: Saishūkōgeki Kyōiaokuno(飛燕,最終攻撃驚異青くんをキFinal Strike of the Blazing Blue Swallow) " Asuma chanted as his Chakra blade becomes blue flames surrounding the sharpened concentrated wind blade with an aura shaped like a bird with his left arm covered with Chakra .

" This will be the final strike. Shunkō Suzuembachi:Ōhihachi Sashikizu ( 瞬閧雀蜂,,王妃蜂刺し傷 Flash Cry Hornet, Queen Bee Sting ) " Soifon chanted as she surrounds her body with a massive whirlwind of Reiatsu that condenses into bee wings made of golden Reiatsu with an golden aura shaped like a bee with her right arm covered in Reiatsu.

Both of them are 330 feet apart from the epicenter of the massive crater. Asuma dashes moving at top speed leaving behind a trail of blue fire in his path as a flaming blue bird comes at Soifon . Soifon dashes with a golden aura with the shape of a bee. Both aura clash at the epicenter creating a blinding flash of light to occur within the crater. Asuma appears at the north end of the crater while Soifon is at the south end of the crater.

" Impossible ! " Asuma said to himself as he then notices a hole through his heart . He was hit in the back and the front of the same organ. Asuma then gains a blue Hōmonka on his chest. He coughs up blood as he falls to the ground .

Shikamaru senses Asuma's life-force rapidly dropping and gets back up to rush to the other side as he wants Asuma fall to the ground .

" No...No..NO ... ASUMA ! " Shikamaru shouted as he rushes towards him.

Present Day

" We were only able to watch, we couldn't do a thing " Shikamaru said to the team.

Meanwhile Naruto is with Hinata and Konohamaru. Hinata is within a wheelchair because of Chakra exhaustion caused by her strain of her Gentle Lion Fist justu she used on Grimmjow. Naruto and Konohamaru are both taking it the hardest.

" Pervy sage was like the father i never had " Naruto said to Konohamaru and Hinata.

" The same thing with Uncle Asuma , my father died when i was very young " Konohmaru replied as he has some tears in his eyes.

" You both really cared for them didn't you ? " Hinata asked the two.

" Well i know what it's like to lose a father too " Neji answered as he goes to comfort Naruto.

" It's sad how all these people died defending this village " Tenten stated.

" Indeed, they all died as heroes fighting to the end " Gai replied in a serious tone.

" How is that so many brave people end up dying at their youth ? " Lee asked.

" Sadly Lee, this is the reality of war !" Gai answered.

Meanwhile Tsunade and the Kages are talking with villagers around the center of the graveyard island.

" This funeral is for all who have died within the village nearly a week ago. We have assembled all this to honor the dead " Tsunade said to villagers.

" For all the brave men and women who died fighting the menace of the Shinigami , this island is for them " Onoki replied.

" This lake is also a tribute to the brave sacrifice that Jiraiya did to help drive away the Shinigami menace " Mei stated.

Meanwhile the elder Kages sit back sad to hear Danzo, their best friend gone. Koharu and Homura are both depressed.

" Looks like we're the last of our generation " Koharu said to the group.

" It seems so ! " Homura replied.

" Konoha has changed alot hasn't it ? " Koharu asked her husband.

" It was completely different from how it was back when we were kids " Homaru answered .

" Still, i wonder if there is any hope for this Shinobi World ? " Koharu asked her husband .

Meanwhile Sakura is with Sai who sees a tear come down Sai's eye.

" Are you crying ? " Sakura asked Sai.

" No, something got in my eye , that's all " Sai answered as he tires to hold back his tears.

" It's okay Sai , you no longer have to hold back your emotions. You're not in Root anymore " Sakura stated.

" Root was the only people close to me in my life. They were like a family and now all of the people i was close with are gone " Sai replied as he wipe the tears from his eyes only to be given a napkin by Sakura.

" It's alright Sai, you have friends like me and Naruto " Sakura said to Sai as she hugs him.

" I guess you guys are kinda like my new family ! " Sai replied.

Meanwhile Fukasaku and Shima are on top of the statue of Jiraiya thinking about what they saw .

" Jiraiya boy, he took his own life protecting the village ! " Shima stated with tears coming out her eyes.

" He did it for a good cause, at least the world is rid of one less powerful Shinigami. Tsunade and Jiraiya 's opponents were the strongest Shinigami and both of them are dead. Jiraiya in the end got what he always wanted, he died as a hero defending Konoha like his student before him " Fukasaku replied as they think back in the past.

6 days ago

"I'm...Not... Done ... Yet ! " Jiraiya answered acting in defiance of his own body which has all but failed him.

" You're at your limit human, not even the toughest Shinimgai could survive a blow that devastating, it's amazing you can still even stand despite losing so much blood " Shunsui said to the Sannin while very low on Reiatsu and losing blood from his severed arm and bleeding out knee.

" I'm done when i draw my last breath...AURRHGH ! " Jiraiya replied as he coughs up more blood.

" You're a fool, you can't beat me in your condition . I don't do finishing blows either , our battle is done. I'm returning to the Soul Society to heal, you shouldn't feel any more pain after a minute " Shunsui stated as he begins to walk away from the Sannin only to see Jiraiya get up despite being at death's door with a massive slash which nearly bisected the Sannin.

"I'm far from done ! i won't give up , i won't let you have Naruto " Jiraiya said to the elder Captain.

"At my current state, i'm too banged up to fight Naruto so rest assure your godson won't be captured by me however there are still other Captains to bring him in to justice .We don't wish to hurt Naruto, the only thing we want from him is the monster inside of him. We promise to allow him to live the rest of his live in freedom as well as everyone here as long as you shinobi disarm these tailed beasts and never attack the Soul Society again " Shunsui explained.

"Again ? We never attacked you in the first place, we have no clue where the Soul Society is .We only heard about... you... a month ago . Never in my 54 years of living have i even heard about Shinigami ... It doesn't matter though because you attacked us first when you kidnapped the Kazekage " Jiraiya stated while coughing up more blood.

"It doesn't matter who's right or wrong at this point , It doesn't matter who owes who. From the instant they enter into a war, both sides are evil...I hold nothing against you, in fact it's a shame it had to end like this Jiraiya . You and i walk the same path but in the end . War tore us part just when we were getting close to each other " Shunsui explained to the Sannin as Jiraiya then falls to the ground.

" Naruto , i won't give up . I won't let them have you ! " Jiraiya mumbled to himself as he barely stands up while Shunsui is 20 feet ahead of him .

" You have quite a strong will to live don't you ? It's beyond logic to even see you standing despite your mortal wounds but it's best you give up . There's no way you can win this battle .

" Give up... you would never make me give up, you will never make surrender and i will never GIVE UPPPP NARUTO !" Jiraiya shouted as he turns into sage form without the toads which causes the toads to come to his side .

" No Jiraiya boy, don't do it. If you force your body into Sage Mode , there is no turning back. You will die ! " Fukasaku warned him.

" Can't you ...tell.. that i'm already dead . Not even Tsunade can save me now... Tsunade is too heavily injured and exhausted of her Chakra and are miles from the village. I only have a minute left before...i ... die... If i'm going to die ... then i'm taking him with me " Jiraiya explained to them.

" Jiraiya ! " Shima said to the Sannin.

" Fukasaku, Shima... Find Tsunade and Naruto and.. Tell them that i always cared for them " Jiraiya said to the toads.

" Okay Jiraiya boy ! " the toads replied as they leave him with tears in their eyes.

" What's going on ? " Shunsui asked shocked to see Jiraiya alive.

"If i'm dying, i'm not going out without a fight. I wonder if you Shinigami have an afterlife of your own or do you cease to exist ... either way...you and i would both vanish from this existence ... Let's end this ... FINAL RASENAGN ! " Jiraiya chanted as he uses his entire life force to form blue energy around his entire body as it heads towards Shunsui.

" FUCK ! " Shunsui shouted as he is caught in the exploison as he tires to escape the blast as the explosion levels everything within a 30 mile radius .

Present Day

" Now the only hope left is the student, the Child of Prophecy " Shima said to her husband.

Meanwhile at Squad 4 barracks

Unohana is within her barracks when Kenpachi comes within the squad.

" Unohana are you busy right now ? " Kenpachi asked the medical Shinigami.

" Nope, i just finished my lunch ! " Unohana answered.

" Good, i was hoping i can train with you again to get stronger " Kenpachi stated.

" Sure thing but let's finish have some tea with Yachiru ! " Unohana replied.

" That sound great Captain mom ! " Yachiru happily said to the medical Captain.

" Very well then ! " Kenpachi responded as he sits down with Unohana and Yachiru.

" I wonder where Yumichika and Ikkaku are at ? " Yachiru asked .

Meanwhile at Karakura Town

Ikkaku and Yumichika walk around the city looking for Hollows.

" So i heard we're the ones stuck with the whole babysitting of Ichigo while waiting for his surgery " Ikkaku said to Yumichika

" Don't whine too much , we'll be gone tomorrow ! " Yumichika replied.

" It's been so boring the last few days ! " Ikkaku stated as he sits on a park bench and folds his hands our of boredom.

" I know what you mean ! " Yumichika replied.

" I hope i bump into an Arrancar soon ! " Ikkaku responded.

" How about we find a quiet area to spar at ? " Yumichika asked.

" Sure thing , i need something to kill this boredom " Ikkaku answered.

" Bloom Fuji Kujaku (藤孔雀, Wisteria Peacock) " Yumichika chanted as he releases his Zanpakutō .

" Grow Hōzukimaru (鬼灯丸, Demon Light)" Ikkaku chanted as he releases his Zanpakutō .

Las Noches Sandlot

1:00 P.M. Orihime and Cirucci watch Grimmjow and Skullak clash attacks in their sparring match.

" He's really strong ! " Orihime said to Cirucci as they feel the clash of Reiatsu.

" You mean my boyfriend ? " Cirucci asked.

" Both of them , they feel just as strong as Ichigo " Orihime stated as she feels their clashing Reiatsus.

Grimmjow and Skullak clash attacks with each other . Skullak is still in his sealed sword form without using his sword while Grimmjow is in his release form. Grimmjow dodges Skullak's kick and is giving the former Espada a hard time in base form.

" Take this ! " Grimmjow shouted as he throws a right hook at Skullak .

" Not enough ! " Skullak replied as he uses his right forearm to block released Grimmjow's right hook creating a cloud of smoke. Grimmjow dashes at 32083.3 ft/sec(21,875 MPH) right in front of Skullak.

" Got you ! " Grimmjow shouted as he tires to punch Skullak but the Arrancar blocks with his left hand .

" You need to do better than to win ! " Skullak said to Grimmjow.

" Come on, quit toying around . Fight seriously or i'll kill you for real " Grimmjow taunted.

" Try to actually land a good blow on me ! " Skullak replied as he punches him in the face.

Skullak dashes at Grimmjow and uses a powerful Reiatsu enhance punches but Grimmjow dodges the blow and goes to hit Skullak with his knee but Skullak blocks with both arms. Grimmjow counters by kicking Skullak at the left side of his chest but Skullak counters grazing Grimmjow's right forearm with his punch , Grimmjow counters with a spinning kick which knocks Skullak out of the air and into the ground.

" HHAAHAHAHAHA! Is that all you got Skullak ? Come on, release your Resurrección " Grimmjow said to Skullak .

" I told you it's too dangerous to use that form , besides you have trouble fighting me in my base level of power " Skullak replied.

" Damn it ! " Grimmjow shouted.

" Let's take five, if we continue this fight any longer, then Inoue and my girlfriend would get hurt " Skullak said to Grimmjow.

" Fine then ! " Grimmjow replied as he returns back to his sealed sword form .

" So do you spar often ? " Orihime asked Skullak and Grimmjow.

" Of course, he helps me get in tip-top shape " Skullak answered.

" Hopefully your boyfriend come to save you, i want my rematch " Grimmjow stated.

" You must be that Arrancar Ichigo fought the first time around ! " Orihime replied.

" Yep, he owes me big time for the scar he left on my chest " Grimmjow said to the young ginger as he shows her his scar.

" Quit clowning around, let's find something else to do " Cirucci stated.

" Fine then , let's see what the other Espadas are doing !" Skullak replied.

Meanwhile near Gin's control room.

Ibiki in disguise of Luna is cloaked in invisibility Kidō sneaks back to the control room going past the Calaveras and several Arrancars.

" Did you hear something ? " Dordoni asked.

" Nope, i think your just exhausted and need to rest " Gantenbainne answered .

Meanwhile Ibiki is within the control room where she puts the disk back into the computer room and starts to download again .

" Look like you made it through " Kisuke said to Ibiki.

" I made it virtually undetected ! " Ibiki stated.

" Good job Ibiki ! " Yoruichi replied.

" I'm syncing more info into the database as we speak " Ibiki said to the group.

" Good job you really were trained well by Soifon " Yoruichi replied.

" Who's in there ? " one the Calaveras asked as the open the door.

" Quick hide from sight " Kisuke said to Ibiki.

" Right ! " Ibiki replied as she hides from plain sight again and remains hidden there while the Calaveras arrive at the room with Rudbornn coming into the room.

" Someone is here , we might have an intruder " Rudbornn said to his men.

" Shall we use our Pesguila ? " one of the Calaveras asked.

" Yes ! " Rudbornn answered.

" Let's search the room ! " the Calaveras stated as they all search the area.

The Calaveras and Rudbornn search for Ibiki around the room when Gin come in to talk with them.

" What are you guys doing here ? " Gin asked them.

" We thought someone else is within the room " Rudbornn answered.

" No one is here but me, i'm busy right now " Gin stated.

" Sorry about that ! " Rudbornn replied as he leaves the room with his men.

" Can't a guy get some rest around here ? " Gin asked as he goes back to bed and falls asleep in his room.

Meanwhile at the room, Ibiki comes out of the broom closet and sees them gone.

" That was too close for comfort ! " Ibiki said to Kisuke .

" Had not for Gin, they would of noticed the disk downloading " Kisuke stated.

" Thank god for that ! " Ibiki replied.

" Get that disk info out of there and move on to exploring more of the fortress " Yoruichi said to the young Vice Captain.

" Right ! " Ibiki replied as she takes out the disk and leaves invisible.

Meanwhile at the 8th Division Barracks

Ukitake and Shunsui drink sake while resting from their wounds.

" So were out of commission for a good while Ukitake ? " Shunsui asked.

" Yeah, our bodies took far more damage than it could of possibly handled , even Unohana can't easily restore us to full health " Ukitake answered.

" It's ashame too, as we speak , the new generation is training to get stronger " Shunsui stated.

" Hopefully we can, 3 months isn't nearly enough to increase your strength enough to fight the Shinobi " Ukitake replied.

Meanwhile at Squad 10 training grounds.

Hitsugaya and Momo are clashing blades with each other. Hitsugaya is within his Shikai form as well as Momo.

" Come on Momo, let's begin our training ! " Hitsugaya said to Momo.

" Right ! " Momo replied as she dashes towards Hitsugaya.

" Snap Tobiume (飛梅 Flying Plum Tree)" Momo chanted as she shoots 3 fireballs towards Hitsugaya.

" "Reign over the Frosted Heavens, Hyorinmaru. (氷輪丸, "Ice Ring") " Hitsugaya countered as he freezes the fireballs in place.

" Not bad , but try this Momoeda Kyōsaku (桃枝狭窄 Peach Branch Constriction ) " Momo chanted as she shoots a firestream which forms a 100 foot long whip which sets anything it touches on fire and wraps around Hitsugaya but Hitsugaya uses his chain from his Shikai to wrap around the fire chain and goes for his own attack.

" Hadō #58. Tenran (闐嵐, Orchid Sky) " Hitsugaya chanted as he shoots a windblast knocking her back.

" Snap Tobiume: Nishisen Katagien Yari (螺線形木炎槍Spiraling Tree Flame Spear ) " Momo countered as she holds her Shikai with both hands and charges up a spiraling fireball then fries the blast towards Hitsugaya in a long straight-forward explosive flaming spear which Hitsugaya dodges and she guides it up into the air ,exploding harmlessly upward.

" Not bad, let's take a small break for now! " Hitsugaya said to Momo as he deactivates his Shikai .

" Right ! " Momo replied as she reseals her sword.

Meanwhile at the Kuchiki Clan courtyard

Byakuya is mediating with his Zanpakutō spirit in his grade.

" Hey Byakuya , what are you doing ? " Senbonzakura asked.

" I wish to increase my power even greater ! " Byakuya answered.

" So you wish to master Jizen ? " Senbonzakura questioned the Kuchiki Clan leader.

" I know that i can't master Jizen in less than 3 months , it takes 1,000 years to master that power . I want to increase my power as much as possible " Byakuya explained to his Zanpakutō spirit .

" So you're really dedicated to getting stronger huh ? " Senbonzakura asked.

" I like to do so ! " Byakuya answered.

" I warn you, the battles you face within this word would be far more intense than any battle you ever had " Senbonzakura stated as he draws his blade.

" All the more reason i must win ! " Byakuya replied as he draws out his sword .

Meanwhile at Squad 6 training ground

Renji and Rukia are training each other in a sparring match.

" Let's do this Rukia ! " Renji said to Rukia.

" Let's see who's Bankai is better ! " Rukia replied.

" Bankai Hiho Zabimaru " Renji chanted as he summons his massive Bankai .

" Bankai : Shirayuki Shiro Tsukihime( 白雪,姫白月 White Snow, White Moon Princess ) " Rukia chanted as she gains a white kinomo 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 .

Renji and Rukia clash attacks with each other. Rukia uses her raw speed to move at 11733.5 ft/sec (8,000 MPH) while Renji uses his raw power to create shockwaves which pushes back Rukia. After clashing for a bit , both go to use their strongest attacks.

" Hikotsu Taihō (狒骨大砲, Baboon Bone Cannon) " Renji chanted as he fires a massive beam of energy.

" 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.

Both attacks clash and create a large fog like mist around the battlefield and the smoke clears up to reveal Sasakibe is standing there.

" So this is your Bankai's ? I must say, both of you are very impressive with that power " Sasakibe said to the two.

" What are you doing here ? " Rukia asked.

" Yamamoto sent me over to oversee your training " Sasakibe answered.

" What can you do without Bankai ? " Renji asked.

" Who says you two are the only lieutenants with Bankai's ? " Sasakibe answered with a question.

" What do you mean ? " Rukia asked.

" Here's a secret, my Bankai is fully mastered unlike the both of you, try to take me on if you dare " Sasakibe explained to the group.

" Very well then, bring it on ! " Renji shouted.

" Indeed ! " Rukia replied.

" Time to show you the power of the Captain Commander's right hand man " Sasakibe responded as he create a purple wave of Reiatsu around him.

Meanwhile at Squad 3 barracks

Izuru and Rangiku are drinking with each other in the afternoon after crossing swords with each other.

" We need to get stronger " Izuru said to Rangiku .

" Indeed, i got my ass kicked last time by the Shinobi and almost died " Rangiku replied as she finishes her sake.

" Everybody is training as we speak , after all we can't afford another costly battle like that " Izuru stated as he finishes his sake

" Too many good men died that day, as much as i wish i can skip work and party, i can't afford to allow their sacrifices to go in vain. I'll train as hard as possible until i obtain Bankai like Renji and Rukia " Rangiku explained to Izuru in a serious tone.

" Wouldn't that take 10 years to achieve ? " Izuru asked .

" I've achieved most of the steps , the problem is manifesting Haineko . She's quite the lazy bitch " Rangiku answered.

" I heard that ! " Haineko stated.

" Well maybe if you actually helped out instead of lazily sitting within my mind , i would of never had faced a near death experience " Rangiku replied.

" Fine , if you want me to help you achieve Bankai then so be it " Haineko said to her owner.

"So you're going to do it ? " Rangiku asked.

" Later though, you have thing to do with your boyfriend " Haineko replied.

Meanwhile at Squad 2's courtyard

Soifon is walking on a tight rope while holding a 2 ton weigh in her hands and manages to maintain balance but manages to cross the 100 meter tightrope and drops the weight and does a backflip 60 feet high and lands perfectly on the ground but her leg feels pain.

" Damn it, it's still not fully recovered " Soifon said to Yoruichi.

" Not bad Soifon, you're getting better ! " Yoruichi stated .

" Not good enough, i must recover so i can train to get stronger ! " Soifon replied as she stands back up.

" I know you wish to battle again trying to train you in your condition would only make it worse for your leg " Yoruichi explained to her student.

Suddenly a messenger comes to give Yoruichi a letter .

" Yoruichi , we have info from where the selling of weapons is coming from " the messenger said to Yoruichi.

" What is it about ? " Yoruichi asked.

" The purchasing of these weapons have came from an arms dealer that shows up once every week to deliver the goods within the West Runokgai district of 30 " the messenger explained to Yoruichi.

" So when's the deal going down ? " Yoruichi asked.

" Tuesday ! " the messenger answered.

" Great, i should be fully recovered by then ! " Soifon stated.

" This would make a good returning mission for you ! " Yoruichi replied.

Meanwhile at Squad 6 training ground

Renji and Rukia are worn out in their sparring match with Sasakibe . Renji and Rukia are on their knees light cuts and light burns with Sasakibe doesn't have a starch on him standing up as he sheath back his Zanpakutō.

" We weren't able to put a starch on him ! " Renji said to Rukia.

" How can a Vice Captain be that strong ? " Rukia asked Renji.

" Allow me to tell you guys a bit of a secret , i helped Byakuya out in achieving his Bankai and mastering it along with his father and the former Captain of Squad 10. My power and speed are indeed on par with your Captain but i just don't have the same skill or talent that he has . Believe it or not but Byakuya hasn't mastered his Bankai yet " Sasakibe said to the two.

" What do you mean by that ? " Renji asked.

" He has the best Bankai control of any current Captain aside from the Shintachio " Rukia answered.

" That might be true but he hasn't fully ascended his Bankai limits . 100% Bankai Mastery takes over 100 years to master , this ascend allows you to truly tap into your inner powers and it increases one's own natural strength by 10 times an average Bankai. That's why the Shintachio are so powerful, by mastering this level , it allows the next step which is Sankai " Sasakibe explained to Renji and Rukia.

" How were you beaten by Ichigo so easily ? " Renji asked.

" I merely left my guard down. I honestly didn't expect him to be that fast or strong in just his Shikai state " Sasakibe answered.

" What that power of yours, you could've beaten Ichigo ! " Renji stated.

" It's surprising how fast he has achieved Bankai and mastered the first state of his Bankai but has yet to master the second stage of his Bankai. You guys surprised me too with how fast you gotten use to your powers but the power is not enough, Rukia, you're far too weak your strikes and Renji , you lack speed . I'll train the both of you get stronger " Sasakibe explained to the two.

" That sounds good ! " Renji replied.

Konoha Palace

3:00 P.M. Tsunade and the other Kages are having a meeting within the council room to explain their next move .Mifune walks into the room with his bodyguards to discuss the meeting.

" You came quickly Mifune ! " A said to the samurai leader.

" Since we never finished our summit, it's best we continue it " Mifune replied.

" After what happened with Danzō, i'm relieved you're alive Tsunade " Mei stated .

" That's enough chit-chat, let's get to business ! " Mifune replied.

" So what's to talk about ? " Tsunade asked.

" The matter of the Kyuubi and Hachibi hosts as well as the Shinigami's base of operations " Mifune explained to Tsunade.

" One of my teams has discovered how to get to the enemy base but it might be trap at this point and besides we haven't got it activate yet " Tsunade stated.

" That's a relief Tsunade, my village has been searching for this Soul Society for a while. Any information you have would be nice for you to share " A replied.

" Perhaps we should hide the Hachibi and Kyuubi " Onoki asked the group.

" Are you crazy ? We need Bee and Naruto's power " Tsunade answered yelling at the Tsuchikage.

" Those two are the enemies objective. If Naruto or Killer Bee fall into the wrong hands, we can kiss the Shinobi world goodbye " Onoki stated.

" What about Yamamoto ? Without these guys we won't stand a chance ! We need all the strength we can get " Tsunade replied.

" This is a war, we must protect them for the meanwhile . It's not your decision to make. We took a vote " Baki stated.

" You're not even a real Kage " Tsunade replied.

" I know but as acting Kazekage, my role is no different . The truth is that he's too much of a risk with his uncontrolled power, that's why ... " Baki explained to Tsunade only to get interrupted.

" We need Naruto to master his Tailed Beast powers so he can be our biggest asset " Tsunade replied.

" You do realize how difficult of a task like that is ? It took Killer Bee 15 years to fully master his Tailed Beast powers , we don't have nearly that much power " A explained to Tsunade.

" The Fourth Mizukage took around 10 years to master his form being a former Tailed Beast " Mei stated.

" To fully control the Tailed Beast within you successfully, one must have the Chakra level of a Kage " A explained to Tsunade.

" Naruto is pretty close to that power, i know it " Shikaku stated.

" How so ? " A asked.

" Naruto has achieved the art of Nature transformation within just a week " Tsunade replied.

" Impossibile , i never heard of such a thing , it took me years to master my wind element " Baki stated.

" I see, he really is the student of the Fourth Hokage ! " A replied.

" I already thought of a plan to increase Naruto's power to that of a Kage , give him a month within Mount Myōboku. He'll achieve Kage level strength and can fight side by side with us and hopefully be much close to achieving mastery of the Nine Tail Fox " Tsunade explained to them.

" You're sure he can even achieve that level of strength by then ? " Mei asked the Hokage.

" Think of it this way, it's a compromise between confining Naruto and having him get stronger so he can benefit for us . Trust me when i say these Shinigami are no joke, i'm sure you're already familiar with the power of the Shinigami after that incident in the Kage Summit. We'll need everything we develop to beat them therefore it would be very important if he joins the fray too " Tsunade explained to the other Kages.

" I see, that's a brilliant plan Tsunade . We'll allow you to put Naruto into his training program " Mifune stated.

" Trust me, Naruto would become Kage level for sure, his own power at this point is already above that of any Jōunin " Tsunade replied as she finishes the conversation.

" Now let's talk about the Shinigami ! " Mifune said to the others.

" Naruto, i pray that your really the Child of Prophecy that Jiraiya has searched for in all these years " Tsunade said to herself as she thinks back to the past of what she said to Jiraiya.

2 weeks ago

" We just need to hope we get info from the ANBU. It sucks i always put you through such shitty situations " Tsunade said to him drunk after drinking 100 bottles of Sake.

" What's this all of a sudden ? " Jiraiya asked.

" You're the one that was originally supposed to become Hokage . The Third Hokage always wanted you to succeed him " Tsunade said to Jiraiya .

" I'm not the right type for that. I'm too fond of being on own besides out of the Sannin, you were the strongest and it was because of you ,we won the Second Shinobi war" Jiraiya replied.

" Come on Jiraiya, you're giving me too much credit now. I couldn't have done it without your Senjustu(仙術 Sage Techniques) or Oorchimaru's variety of Justus, i would of not fared that well " Tsunade stated.

" I guess you have a point " Jiraiya replied.

" You always regretted not being able to stop Orochimaru, and were always tracking him by yourself, right ? " Tsunade said to Jiraiya.

" And this time i intent to take him down, I'm not giving up on bringing him back much as Naruto is going to bring back Sasuke " Jiraiya replied.

" That's why i have assigned you to do some fact-finding of Orochimaru's location as well as finding the Hideout of the Akatsuki. Bringing any of then back would be very helpful to combat the Gotei 13 " Tsunade said to Jiraiya.

Present Day

" Lady Tsunade are you alright ? " Shizune asked Tsunade .

" Yeah , i'm fine. I apologize for getting distracted " Tsunade asked wiping a tear from her check.

" We know how close Jiraiya is to you Tsunade but you must stay strong " Mei said to Tsunade.

" You're right ! " Tsunade replied.

Meanwhile at Konoha

Naruto walks around the empty lot where the hot springs once stood with Hinata walking around , this time without crutches or in a wheelchair .

" Jiraiya , this is where you used to peek at girls like the pervert you once were " Naruto said to himself as he think back to the past.

3 Years ago

Jiraiya is peeking at the ladies within the hot springs

" So man young busty girls, i feel like i'm going to explode " Jiraiya said out loud in a perverted tone while peeking through the fence

" Hey pervy sage , what are you doing ? " Naruto asked the perverted sage.

" Feasting my eyes on some beauties ! " Jiraiya answered.

Present day

" Naruto " Hinata said to the blonde Shinobi.

" Sorry i dozed off a bit " Naruto replied.

" What's on your mind ? " Hinata asked.

" It's prevy sage ! " Naruto answered.

" You're still sad about him ? You really did care for him " Hinata stated.

" I wanted him to always watch me.. I wanted him to see me as the next Hokage . All he ever saw from me was me being totally uncool " Naruto replied.

" Jiraiya spoke of you as if you were his own son . He always praised you and you always made him proud. He believe you would take his place . He never doubted that you would become a great Hokage . He was always watching, even now he's somewhere watching you. You can't stay sad forever , after all you're the student of the great Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin " Hinata explained to Naruto as she kisses him in the mouth.

" Thank you Hinata ! " Naruto replied as he wipes the tears from his face and makes out with her.

" Hey you two ! " Kurenai said to the two .

" Kurenai sensei ! " Hinata replied looking at her master.

" Looks like you finally asked him out " Kurenai said to them.

" I love him and will do anything for him ! " Hinata replied.

" Hopefully one day i can see how your child looks like " Kurenai stated.

" Child ? " both Naruto and Hinata asked blushing.

" See you guys later ! " Kurenai answered as she leaves the area.

Meanwhile at Szayel Aporro's lab

Szayel is busy with his labwork when Gin walks into the room and talks to him.

" Szayel " Gin said to Szayel as he enters the room.

" What do you want ? " Szayel asked .

" Aizen wants to talk to you regarding the Hōgyoku " Gin answered.

" Do i have to go to his throne room ? I'm busy right now " Szayel stated.

" Aizen doesn't like to wait! " Gin replied .

" Fine ! " Szayel responded as he walks out with Gin.

Meanwhile Ibiki sneaks in while cloaked under Bakudō #26 and goes into the computer room .

" That was a lucky break " Ibiki said to Kisuke.

" We probably have good timing , that's all " Kisuke answered.

" It seems a bit too much of a coincidence now ! " Ibiki stated.

" I doubt Gin would be helping us out ! " Kisuke replied

" It doesn't matter, get the info from the computer and get out of there " Yoruichi stated.

" Very well then ! " Ibiki replied as she downloads more info into the disk.

Meanwhile at Aaroniero's palace

Aaroniero is his room when Orihime , Cirucci and Skullak walk into the room of Aaroniero's room with him in his Kaien form.

" Solidarity as usual Aaroniero ? " Skullak asked the 9th Espada.

" It's been a while Skullak " the male voice of Aaroniero said to the brown hair Arrancar.

" What's the prisoner doing out of her cell ? " the female voice of Aaroneiro replied.

" She's hanging out with us " Skullak answered.

" Did Aizen allow you to do this ? " the male voice of Aaroniero asked.

" It was his idea in the first place ! " Skullak stated.

" I see ! " the female voice replied.

" Harribel is going to have a big dinner tonight, care to join us later ? " Skullak asked.

" No thanks ! " Aaroniero answered.

" Why not ? " Orihime asked.

" Because i'll be exposed to sunlight " Aaroniero answered.

" Then put on this trench coat and come with us then " Skullak said to the 9th Espada.

" Right ! " Aaroniero replied as he hangs out with the group.

" You look more like a Shinigami than an Arrancar " Orihime asked Aaroniero.

" This was a body i gained from eating another Hollow that ate a Shinigami long before i gained intelligence and became an Arrancar " Aaroniero answered.

Meanwhile at the Shiba House

Kukaku is down thinking about what happened a few days back when her brother walks in.

" Sister, you been down for a while , what's up ? " Ganju asked.

" It's about what happened in Karakura Town " Kukaku answered.

" I heard you guys kicked these Akatsuki Ninjas asses, why so down ? " Ganju asked.

" First of all , we got lucky. The enemy i fought wasn't even fighting us seriously , they could of killed us all if they wanted too but that's not what's got me down " Kukaku explained to Ganju.

" Then what is it ? " Ganju asked.

" Kaien Shiba is still alive ! " Kukaku replied.

" Impossible, wasn't he killed 40 years ago by Rukia ? I even saw her drag the body there, she killed him in self-defense when he turned into a Hollow. His neck was slit and his heart was pierced There's no way he could be alive " Ganju asked explaining Kaien's death.

" It sounds crazy but the enemy i fought confirmed it ! " Kukaku replied as she thinks back to the past.

Kukaku's pov

I clashed with one of the members of the Akatsuki Sasori. He was the weakest of the group yet he was powerful enough to hold his own with 3 Vice Captains, myself and Chad .

" Not bad, you almost had me with that punch. You're everything your brother described you to be " Sasori said to me.

" What do you know about my brother ? " i asked Sasori.

" It's like i said, he now works with Lord Aizen " Sasori answered as he blocks my sword slash .

" That's impossible, he died 40 years ago " i stated as i avoided 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 Shinigami and Hollows are still limited to a normal humans lifespan " Sasori explained to me.

" 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 ? " i 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 Sōsuke Aizen processing the Hōgyoku now " Sasori replied as he gets his distance from me.

" You bastards, what did you do to my brother ? " i shouted.

" We didn't do anything, it's more like what Lord Aizen did 40 years ago " Sasori replied.

" What are you talking about ? " i 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 " i shouted a i released energy from my Zanpakutō in anger.

Present day

3rd person pov

" Come on , this is ridiculous, You can't believe what the enemy says right ? " Ganju asked.

" I wish it was merely bluff or even hyperbole but given Grand Fisher was shown alive , it's possible that Kaien might be alive " Kukaku answered.

" Impossible, Captain Kurosaki killed him in one blow less than a month ago " Ganju stated.

" Watch this video then ! " Kukaku replied as he puts the tape into the VCR and turns on the TV.

3 days ago

Karakura Community Park

Ichigo and Orihime stare at the beautiful moonlight.

" What a beautiful starry sky ! " Orihime said to Ichigo.

" I know ! " Ichigo replied only to sense a very powerful Reiatsu coming from the sky.

" What the hell is that ? " Ichigo asked Orihime.

" It's a Hollow! " Orihime answered .

The hollow crashes to the ground creating a massive 30 foot dust cloud . The smoke clears up to reveal an Arrancar with his entire mask left unbroken and the upper half sat on his forehead. He also has fur all over his body and stands over 30 feet tall .

" Ichigo Kurosaki ! " the hollow said to him a he comes at Ichigo and Orihime .

" Crap it's a hollow ! " Ichigo said to Orihime.

" Don't tell me that you forgotten all about me Ichigo " the hollow said to Ichigo as Ichigo then remembers him.

" It's you ...Grand Fisher ! What the hell happened to you ? " Ichigo asked him.

" Isn't it obvious, i'm an Arrancar now, i'm much stronger than before . I'm here to kill you for the pain you caused me " Grand Fisher shouted as he goes to punch Ichigo but Ichigo dodges the blow.

"Who's that Hollow Ichigo ? " Orihime asked him.

" He's the bastard who killed my mother " Ichigo answered with anger in his tone .

" HAHAHAHAAHA! You mean your little mother huh, she was especially delicious to eat , now that i'm back and stronger than ever,i'll finally devour your soul so you can join your mother " Grand Fisher stated as he goes attack Ichigo but Ichigo dodges it with Orihime.

" Shit! We need to call the others, at this rate i can't do anything to fight back " Ichigo said to Orihime as he holds on to his lovers hand.

Present day

" You got to be kidding me ? How is that even possible ? " Ganju asked.

" The power of Aizen Hōgyoku is the cause, no human has the power to do this " Kukaku answered.

Fire Temple

4:00 P.M. Konan and Deva Path Pain walks to the Temple within the Land of Fire around 65 miles north of Konoha .

" So what are we doing here ? " Konan asked Pein .

" Madara has ordered us to get some remnants of the Nine Tails Chakra " Pein answered.

" Remnants ? " Konan asked.

" During Kurama's attack on Konohagakure, some of its Chakra was scattered throughout the village. Even though it was only part of the Nine-Tails Chakra, it was enough to make one of the children in that village become a Pseudo-Jinchūriki " Pein explained to Konan.

" So it's possible to create a Pseudo-Jinchūriki ? " Konan asked.

" Two existed long ago before Ninja Nations were born , the Gold and Silver Brothers made names for themselves in their attempt to capture the Nine-Tailed Fox for their village. They were instead swallowed whole by the beast. The brothers survived inside Kurama for two weeks by eating the beast's flesh; this would eventually lead to the fox regurgitating them. This left them with unusually large Chakra-reserves and abilities similar to those of a Jinchūriki. With their new-found powers, the brothers assaulted the Second Raikage, during his peace pact with the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, to stage a coup d'état. Managing to bring the Second Hokage to the verge of death, the brothers are declared disgraces for their actions " Pein explained to Konan.

" I thought only those with Jōunin-level Chakra or higher could even handle that much Chakra " Konan stated.

" The father of this Pseudo-Jinchūriki was one of the leaders of the 12 Guardian Ninjas . Kazuma collected the Chakra, and sealed it into his son's body to produce a partial copy of the Nine-Tails, turning him into a Pseudo-Jinchūriki. One day he went berserk and destroyed the temple, a place otherwise believed to be an indestructible fortress. Afterwards, he was loathed by some of the monks of the temple, and soon began receiving the same ostracising treatment that Naruto Uzumaki experienced while he was young " Pein explained to Konan.

" How did you learn this ? " Konan asked.

" Kakuzu's bounty hunting helped us uncover this information " Pein answered.

" So he's our target ? " Konan asked.

" Yep , it's best we take care of this matter ! " Pein replied as he taps the massive 20 foot high and wide 3 foot deep steel door and easily sends it flying through the temple.

" What the hell ? " one of the monks asked.

" Someone broke down the iron gate ! " another monk answered.

" Report this to Lord Chiriku ! " one of the monks stated.

" Doesn't look like they're going to give us the Tailed Beasts so easily " Konan said to Pein.

" Konan ,take them out ! " Pein commanded .

" Right ! " Konan replied.

" Those cloaks ! Then the rumors ... " one of the monks said to another.

" There's no mistaking it ! They're Akatsuki ! " another monk replied.

100 monks appear around the Akatsuki members and prepare to fight Konan and Pein.

" It's best you surrender now, if you don't. We'll kill you " Konan warned the monks.

" You kill us ? You can't hope to get past 100 Ninja Monks trained by the great Chiriku " the monks replied.

" How sad ! " Konan replied as she throws hundreds of paper shuriken which easily rips all the monks to shreds in second.

Meanwhile inside the temple the leader of the monks detects the Akatsuki and is with a teenage boy with blue shoulder-length hair cut in an asymmetrical style and brown eyes.

" What's going on ? " the kid asked.

" The temple is under attack ! " the leader answered.

" What the hell ? " Sora asked.

" Get to safety Sora, these guys are too powerful to fight " the leader answered.

" You can't just fight them yourself ! " Sora stated.

" Listen, you're not strong enough to fight them " Chiriku replied as he goes outside to fight the Akatsuki.

Konan and Pein wait outside for Chiriku only to see all the monks were killed off .

" So you arrived at last ! " Pein said to Chiriku.

" What did you do to my temple and my monks ? " Chiriku asked.

" We wanted to avoid unnecessary causalities but your men refused to get out of the way " Konan answered.

" You massacred my entire temple, you bastards are going to pay for that " Chiriku stated as he charges up Chakra around his body.

" Surrender the child now or prepare to die! " Pein asked Chiriku.

" Never, i'll kill the both of you Raigō: Senjusatsu (来迎・千手殺Raigo: Thousand Hand Kill ) " Chiriku chanted as he takes a specific stance with his left hand making a half-ram and then extending his right hand down with his palm parallel to the ground. Chiriku is surrounded by a bright golden Chakra aura that takes the form of the spirit of the Thousand-Armed Kannon.

" What is that ? " Konan asked.

" I have no clue ! " Pein answered.

" This is for the monks you slaughtered, TAKE THIS ! " Chiriku shouted as he then turns the Kannon into a demonic-looking creature and it throws a series of flaming punches moving at 23,833.3 ft/sec (16,250 MPH ) which hit comes towards Pain and Konan at 70 punches per second. The blows hit which causes the entire gate area and walls around it to be hit by a series of small explosions from the speed of the punches.

One of the surviving monks look from a distance and see the battle going on.

" That's master Chiriku's strongest attack, it's an attack even stronger than the great Asuma's version " one of the monks stated as he sees the attack come to a halt.

Smoke covers the nearby temple with the monk noticeably worn out from using his full power assault.

" That was the true power of Raigō: Senjusatsu . Raigō: Senjusatsu (来迎・千手殺Raigo: Thousand Hand Kill ) has the strength to create tunnels through mountains and level entire hillsides. I held back the destructive power to protect this sacred temple from further damage. An inexperienced user would be unable to control the power and speed of the fists, i managed to reduce the destructive capacity while maintaining the strength and power making it more dangerous and concentrated " Chiriku explained to the surviving monk

" You're the greatest Chiriku ! " one of the monks stated.

Suddenly out of the smoke Pein and Konan emerge unharmed without a starch on them with flames around them.

" That was a pathetic attack , you'll need more than that to beat me " Pein said to Chiriku .

" Impossible ! There's no way you should be standing " Chiriku shouted shocked to see Pain and Konan alive .

" Now time to die ! " Pein stated as he draws out his Chakra rod .

" I won't miss this time Raigō: Senjusatsu . Raigō: Senjusatsu (来迎・千手殺Raigo: Thousand Hand Kill ) " Chiriku shouted as he hits Pein directly with a series of monstrously powerful punches but the attacks fail to even faze him.

" He's walking through the attack " one of the monks stated.

Sora rushes outside to see what's going on only to hear the sound of someone getting stabbed. He then sees Chiriku stabbed through the head by Pein.

" Pathetic human , that pitiful attack was as weak as a bee sting " Pein said to the dead monk.

" That attack only had 500,000 RYK, it was pitifully weak ! " Konan replied.

" CHIRIKU ! " Sora shouted.

" It's the kid we been looking for " Konan said to Pein .

" You bastards are going to pay for this ! This is unforgivable ! " Sora shouted as he releases a monstrous amount of Chakra and starts to transform .

Sora has fully transformed into his 4 tailed state. The blast sends trees flying up to 5 1 1/2 miles and flattens everything within a 2 mile radius with an immense crater 400 feet diameter 100 foot deep crater. Small rocks, wooden fragments, and branches are sent flying as far as 20 miles and the winds can be felt from over 40 miles. Sora's body is covered with a red endoskeleton of Chakra. Sora's body is covered in a mix between the Nine-Tails Chakra and his own blood. Everything from his face to his Chakra tails becomes completely solid, and his eyes lost its characteristics and became empty glowing circles, surrounded by a black mask of chakra.

" RAAAGOOOOGAHAAHGH ! " Sora roars with a beastly monstrous roar .

" He's transformed ! " Konan said to Pain

" What does that phone said about it's power ? " Pein asked Konan.

" It's 1,250,000 RYK, not a big deal for you " Konan answered.

" It's just the 4 Tails , it's nothing to me ! " Pein stated as he stands there .

" ROAGRAGAGAGAGAH ! " Kyubbi Sora roared as he sends a blast of wind at Pein but it has no effect on the Akatsuki leader.

" Is that all you got ? " Pein taunted the beast.

" ROAGRAGAGAGAGAH ! " Kyubbi Sora roared as the monster pounds the ground and puts his hands underground.

Pein dodges the first two Chakra arms jumping up into the air . Kyuubi Sora then uses another Chakra arm from the Chakra arms he already created. Pein cuts that one in half with his Chakra rod only for Kyuubi Sora to create 10 more Chakra arms to attack Pein.

" Come on , come at me with all you got ! " Pein said to the monster as he floats in the air.

" MMUUUAHAGH ! " Kyuubi Sora countered as it swings it's claws at high speeds creating an 2,000 foot diameter 30,000 foot high tornado that moves at 733.3 feet/sec (500 MPH) hitting Pein directly but Pein absorbs the blast.

" That monster has no chance of beating Pein with such an incomplete power " Konan said to herself.

" RWWWARGH ! " Kyuubi Sora roared as it starts to charge up a powerful black ball in it's mouth.

" Bjuudama ! " Pein said to himself .

" RAWWARGH ! " Kyuubi Sora roared as it fires the massive blast towards Pein .

" Shinra Tensei ( 神羅天征Almighty Push ) " Pein countered as he cancels out the blast and sends the Kyuubi flying 1 mile into a 500 foot high hill. Pein then goes to capture it.

" Looks like you got it ! " Konan stated only to see Sora emerge with another set of tails.

" No it's turned into the 6 Tailed Demon Fox ! " Pein replied.

" RRAGAHAWARH! " Kyuubi Sora shouted as he punches Pein in the stomach and sends him flying back into a 2,000 foot high mountain and with a single Chakra arm punch stretching 2 miles long .

" Pein ! " Konan shouted.

" ARRRGHHAWAHRAH! " Kyuubi Sora roared as it shoots a rapid fire stream of Chakra blasts moving at 1,980 shoots per minute firing 825 shoots at the Akatsuki leader .

" Shinra Tensei ( 神羅天征Almighty Push ) " Pein countered as he cancels out the blast while easily leveling the small mountain he was on.

" That monsters power jumped to 12,500,000 RYK. He's going to give Pain some trouble " Konan said to herself.

" RAWWARGH ! " Kyuubi Sora roared as it goes to attack Pein while he's recovering within the 5 second interval.

" Shit , he's going to attack Pein while he's vulnerable " Konan said to herself as she rushes to Pein.

" Crap! " Pein said to himself as the Tailed Beast goes to claw at his head off .

" Shikigami Dance: Storm " Konan chanted as she launches 5,000 paper kunai laced with explosives which causes the 6 Tails to get stunned and stagger from the wounds it suffered.

" AAWARRGH " Kyubbi Sora roared as it struggles to move but then starts to regenerate from his wounds.

" Thanks for saving me, i wasn't expecting a Pseudo Jinichikrui to turn 6 Tails " Pein said to Konan .

" It's body is starting to break down , it can't maintain that form for much longer " Konan replied as she gets ready for her next attack.

" RRWAARGH ! " Kyuubi Sora roared as it goes to charge up a full powered Kyuubi Blast.

" We must stop him quick ! " Konan said to Pein.

" I'm on it ! " Pein replied as he sets up his own attack.

" RRAARGWARGH ! " Kyuubi Sora roared as it fires a 6 foot diameter blast towards Pein.

" Fūjutsu Kyūin ( 封術吸印 Seal Jutsu Inhale ) " Pein countered as he's able to absorb all of the blast .

" Shikigami Dance: Stockpile " Konan chanted as she summons 100 paper spears as large as ballistic missiles warped with explosive tags to hit Kyuubi Sora which creates a combined explosion leveling everything within a 2 mile radius.

The monster is down from the blast however it still manages to get up .

" It just won't give up !" Pein said to Konan.

" This is bad ! " Konan replied .

" RWWARGH ! " Sora roared as it starts to grow until the monster explodes creating a 10 mile radius explosion which catch Pein and Konan off-guard.

" Shinra Tensei ( 神羅天征Almighty Push ) " Pein countered as he cancels out the blast focusing the forcewave within a 180 degree angle which protects him and Konan from the blast using his full power.

The explosion clears up revealing the blast took out 5 mountains nearby and leveled the entire forest around the temple. Pein and Konan rush to the body of Sora which has a giant hole in it's chest where the Chakra was released.

" It still has most of the Kyuubi power in it despite the fact it's body couldn't handle the release of Chakra " Konan said to Pein.

" He's dead, no problem . Gedō: Rinne Tensei (外道・輪廻天生の術Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique ) " Pein chanted as he generates a green orb and then shoots it at Sora's body and it revives him with his chest cavity is completely restored.

" Be careful Pein, using that technique . Using it too much could cost you your own life if you abuse it " Konan stated.

" Don't worry, i can revive at least 1 million souls with my current level of power ! " Pein replied as he grabs the unconscious body of Sora and they return to base.

Meanwhile at the Unagai Shop

Ichigo has finished all his duties with his boss and is ready to leave the shop.

" I'm ready to leave now boss ! " Ichigo said to Ikumi.

" Here's you pay , 39295 Yen ( $ 500 US Dollars ) " Ikumi replied as she hands the cash to Ichigo.

" Thanks ! " Ichigo stated while trying to mask his sadness for the lack of Orihime within his life.

" What's wrong Ichigo ? " Ikumi asked Ichigo.

" It's nothing ! " Ichigo answered.

" Come on Ichigo, stay here until you cool down and you feel less sad . You can talk to me about what happened to made you this sad all day " Ikumi stated acting mother like.

" Thanks but i think i should get going ! " Ikumi replied as she grabs Ichigo's head and places it on her left breast.'

" Ikumi ! " Ichigo said to his boss acting more like a little kid.

" It's okay , there's no need to talk . Isshin told me about what happened to you !" Ikumi replied.

" My dad has a big mouth doesn't he ? " Ichigo asked his boss.

" Yep he does ! " Ichigo answered.

" Listen, you just need to get her back . You need to do whatever it takes to get your girl back, just as long as you don't mess up and do something very stupid " Ikumi stated as she hugs Ichigo.

" There's no way i can tell her the truth , Ikumi knows nothing about Shinimgai, Hollows or Shinobis, if i told her. I would just make her uncomfortable and she'll think i'm crazy . After all no way a normal human can even see spirits so there's no point in telling her " Ichigo said to himself.

" Now get going Ichigo ! " Ikumi said to Ichigo.

" Right ! " Ichigo replied as he heads home.

" Isshin, hopefully your son makes a full recovery for all of us. The fate of the world depends on him " Ikumi said to herself.

Harribel's Palace

6:00 P.M . Ibiki using invisible Kido gets back to bed and deflate the inflatable Gigal and puts it in her pocket and goes to bed pretending she was asleep when Harribel walks into her room a few minutes later.

" Dinner is ready ! " Harribel said to Ibiki .

" Okay then ! " Ibiki replied as she goes downstairs with the 3rd Espada and see most of Skullaks friends at the table.

" Welcome to Las Noches Ibiki " Skullak said to Ibiki.

" What's all this ? " Ibiki asked .

" A surprise party we threw for you ! " Skullak answered.

" This is a great honor having someone like you among the Espada " Cirucci stated.

" Uh thanks ! " Ibiki replied.

" So she's new here ? That's the same girl i saw yesterday at the tournament " Orihime asked them.

" She's now among the Números, the elite among the Arrancars " Grimmjow answered.

" It's great to have someone strong here that's a woman " Mila stated.

" Yeah we need more strong women among the Arrancar " Apache replied.

" Another cute girl among us ! " Sun Sun responded with all the people looking at her.

" Let's feast for the new addition to the family " Dordoni stated.

" Very well then ! " Ibiki replied as they eat their dinner .

" Let's enjoy the excellent meal ! " Gantenbainne responded as they eat their dinner .

" Kisuke are you there ? " Ibiki said to Kisuke in her neurotransmitter.

" Yes i am ! " Kisuke answered.

" Orihime is right there , it seems they're trying to make it seem like Aizen cares for her " Ibiki stated.

" I see, basically their going for the Stockholm syndrome and trying to make Orihime more comfortable around them, this could prove very bad if they convince her to join their side " Kisuke explained to Ibiki.

" Thing is, i doubt these Arrancars are even aware they're playing into Aizens hands as we speak " Ibiki stated.

" This is a problem , that makes it even more curical that you complete this mission soon . If we don't get Orihime out of here she's going to become a pawn of Aizen like most of the people there " Kisuke replied.

Meanwhile at Karakura Hospital

Ryūken goes to his son's room where Chad is also at to talk with them with Kisuke aside him who hangs up his phone.

" So dad, would we resume training tomorrow ? " Uryū asked.

" After School everyday, you'll train with me after you finish your homework . I can't have you inherit the Quincy legacy if you don't even have a university degree " Ryūken answered.

" Don't worry dad, i'm not Kurosaki , i won't abandon my grades in exchange for power " Uryū stated.

" Well you have it much easier, your father is also a Quincy and therefore can train you. Ichigo's dad is a normal human with no powers, Ichigo can't turn to him for training therefore he must seek out the only people who understand his power and that's the Vizards " Kisuke explained to Uryu.

" I didn't think of it that way ! " Uryū replied.

" Kisuke , what about me ? Who's going to train me " Chad asked.

" Leave that to Yoruichi , she's the only one that can help you out . She'll do nicely as your partner " Kisuke answered.

" You're sure ? " Chad asked.

" Trust me when i say this, she's even stronger than me. If anything she was the one who taught me almost everything i know , look how much stronger Ichigo got under her training and Ichigo at the time was weaker than you are right now . With her training, your power will far surpass human limits but i warn you, her training would be alot harder on you than she was on Ichigo " Kisuke explained to Chad.

" Why ? " Chad asked.

" Because unlike Ichigo, you don't have a Zanpakutō. The only thing Yoruichi taught him was Bankai and that was because they only had 3 days to master it because of Rukia's execution . We have 3 months to increase our powers and you did well within first week of unlocking your powers. You went from a normal human to Vice Captain level and recently you descended to Captain level but you can still use some improvements " Kisuke explained to Chad.

" Good , then i'll do it . I'll take whatever steps are necessary to improve my strength " Chad replied.

" Good , starting tomorrow, you meet me within the underground training ground. Yoruichi would be the one to train you " Kisuke said to Chad as he leaves the Hospital .

Meanwhile at Konoha

The other Kages are leaving the village as night falls .

" We're counting on you Hokage , made sure that portal is complete " Mei stated

" Don't worry, i'll promise to use it to get to the Kumokagure palace so we can set up the next meeting " Tsunade replied as she watches them leave the village

" Make sure Naruto doesn't slack off like my idiot brother " A said to the Hokage .

" Don't worry, Naruto is no slacker ! " Tsunade replied.

" You owe me big time for fixing your village Hokage " Onoki stated as he flies off with his bodyguards .

Meanwhile Temari and Shikamaru are holding hands with each other behind a tree.

" I guess this is goodbye for now! " Shikamaru said to Temari .

" What do you wish to do now ? " Temari asked him.

" I can't really do anything with you right now " Shikamaru answered.

" Not like that you pervert, i met with your life. You must be bummed losing your master the way you did " Temari stated.

" I'm going to get stronger and find a way to defeat a Shinigami Captain ! " Shikamaru replied.

" Trust me when i saw there no walk in the park, these guys are monstrously strong. Even i could barely hold my own with them " Temari stated.

" I know, at least you beat the captain you fought, i didn't even have a snowball's chance in hell . strategy isn't enough against them , you need speed and power to boot. I must find a way to increase my power and speed while finding a strategy to counter their strongest attacks " Shikamaru replied.

" I plan to get myself stronger so i can get Gaara back , i promise myself that i'll get payback for the injustice done to us " Temari responded as she punches a hole in the tree.

" Temari, we got to get going ! " Baki said to Temari.

" See you next time ! " Temari replied as she heads back with her sensei and brother back to Sunakagure.

Meanwhile at the Akatsuki Hideout

Pein summoned the Akatsuki members to the Statue of the Outer Demon Path with the unconscious body of Sora.

" So we got out of our day off to do this ? " Deidara asked the leader.

" We need to extract the power from this Pesudo Jinichuriki to feed into our collection " Pein answered.

" Why seal away a Fake Jinichiruki ? " Kisame asked.

" Because it's power is mandatory to support the creation of this superweapon " Pein answered.

" Don't be fooled, despite not being the Nine Tails, it processed a large amount of Chakra " Konan stated.

" How could a human handle that much Chakra ? " Itachi asked the two.

" It didn't, it almost died on it's way here ! " Pein answered.

" It's a relief it didn't , it would of been a waste of time and money " Kakuzu stated.

" Screw you and your money . If i was there, i would of kicked some serious ass " Hidan replied.

" How long is this going to take us ? " Zetsu asked.

" Given this boy only has 1/3 the power of a fully transformed Tailed Beast, it would only take 24 hours " Pein answered.

" That's a relief !" Kisame stated.

" Let's start the process ! " Konan replied as they all begin the sealing process.

Meanwhile at District # 3 Īsuto shūryō

40 miles north of the Seireitei , Kenpachi trains with Unohana on top of a 2,400 foot high mountain. Kenpachi is wearing no eyepatch on using Kendo style fighting while Unohana is in her sealed sword state using one hand on her sword . Kenpachi is token down by another strike by Unohana which brings him down to his knees.

" Damn it ! " Kenpachi stated as he has a deep gash on right shoulder spewing blood everywhere.

" You're getting better with the speed of the Kendo strikes but you still lack proper energy control , your blade is not sharp enough " Unohana said to Kenpachi as Kenpachi manages to get back up holding his sword with two hands.

" Then let's continue ! " Kenpachi replied as he charges at Unohana but Unohana catches Kenpachi's Kendo attack with her hand while the blast wave is dispersed across the entire mountain in a cloud of smoke.

" The fact i can grab your blade barehanded states that you reached your limit for the day " Unohana said to Kenpachi.

" Damn it ! " Kenpachi replied as he stands worn out from the loss of blood.

Meanwhile at the Asano House

Ikkaku goes into the house with Yumcihikia to rest up for the day.

" It's time we rest up ! " Ikkaku said to Yumichika.

" Indeed Ikkaku , that was an excellent sparring match ! " Yumichika replied.

" That gay looking Shikai of your gave me some trouble ! " Ikkaku stated.

" Good thing you broke out of it with your Bankai ! " Yumichika replied.

" It wasn't easy, you took most of my Reiatsu by then, i barely had any power left to fight " Ikkaku said to Yumichika as he pants from Reiatsu exhaustion.

" Tomorrow is the day we need to go back right ? " Yumichika asked him.

" I'm kinda going to miss this place ! " Ikkaku answered.

" I'm taking a shower, all this sweat makes me smell like a gymsock " Yumichika stated.

" Indeed , i'll wait for you ! " Ikkaku replied as Mizuho walks into the room.

" So you're leaving tomorrow huh ? " Mizuho asked Ikkaku.

" Yep, i got to get going ! " Ikkaku answered.

" You mean to the Soul Society right ? " Mizuho asked.

" Wait, how did you know about the Soul Society ? " Ikkaku asked shocked to hear Mizuho said those words.

" I remember everything that happened Ikkaku " Mizuho stated as she goes into flashback.

2 days ago

Mizuho's pov

I was on a class field trip to Karakura Community Park. Me and the class where enjoying the Carnival that was in town until disaster struck. We heard the first explosion . It came from Downtown Karakura Town.

" What the hell is that ? " one of the students said to me .

We then heard gunshots from Downtown Karakura Town later on and explosions

" Terrorists ! " everybody shouted as people start to run away from the park and it was pure chaos.

I then heard a thunderous explosion up north which was at the direction of Karakura High School . I knew something wasn't right

" Keigo , Keigo ! " i tried to call my brother but there was no answer then i heard a chilling radio report .

"This is Karakura Town News with a breaking news report, a heavily armed terrorist flying a giant white eagle bombed Karakura High School, it's unknown how many survive at this current time . The terrorist is believed to be closely associated with a string of murders within the Karakura Shopping district just a few minutes ago " Daidai explained to the viewers.

" The mayor and Prime Minster are currently being held in safety from the terrorists. It's believed the Terrorist are using super trench coats resistant to police weapons and loaded with explosives , the country of origin is a mystery at this point but news cameraman are recording the events as it's going along " one of the reports stated.

My heart dropped and i was in tears, i was afraid that my brother Keigo was dead .

A minute later two black-robed swordsmen showed up as well as a guy with a black robe and a giant sword.

" That's one of them Momo , let's waste no time and attack " Hitsugaya said to his friend as both of them go for the attack.

" Snap Tobiume " Momo chanted as she shoots a fireball at Kisame.

" Reign over the Frosted Heavens Hyorinmaru " Hitsugaya chanted as he fires an ice dragon at the blue skinned Shinobi.

Both attacks hit Kisame but the sword on his back easily absorbs the attack.

" We're you kids really suppose to wound me with such weak attacks ? " Kisame asked the two.

" What to do Hitsugaya ? He absorbed my Tobiume like it was nothing " Momo asked Hitsugaya.

" Momo, use your strongest attack to distract him and hold him down , i'll use my Bankai for the finishing blow " Hitsugaya answered.

" Right ! " Momo replied as she goes to distract Kisame facing him head on.

" Back to feed my Samehada more of your Chakra ? Hopefully it taste better than that last batch because it was pretty weak and nasty " Kisame mocked Momo.

" Let's see how you like this Shoot forth, Yaku Momonoki (焼く桃木 Burning Peach Tree) " Momo chanted as she hits her Zanpakutō into the ground and then a massive column of pink fire 20 feet in diameter appears over Tenten that branches like a tree and grows up to 200 feet high.

I rushed to safety and hid within the bathroom to take cover from the crazy powers they welded however i felt as i was running in quicksand. The intense heat from that little girl's sword and the freezing cold from that little boy's sword was too much for my body to handle and i passed out no sooner i made it to the bathroom.

3rd person pov

" I remember everything that happened after then , you saved my life and saved this city. I was a fool trying to hold you down " Mizuho said to Ikkaku.

" It's no that i don't like you, it' that it' just too dangerous for me to be around you and besides, i'm over 200 years old, it would never work out " Ikkaku replied as he hugs her.

" I guess, good luck then ! " Mizuho replied.

Kurosaki Clinic

11:00 P.M. Ichigo is at the rooftop thinking what happened the day Orihime was kidnapped.

" Don't worry Orihime , i'm coming to get you soon " Ichigo said to himself only for Isshin to come upstairs.

" Still thinking about her son ? " Isshin asked Ichigo.

" Dad ,what are you doing up here ? " Ichigo answered with a question .

" I wanted to talk with you about relationships Ichigo, it's no secret you're becoming a man " Isshin stated.

" How did you and my mom meet ? " Ichigo asked Isshin.

" It's a long story . She was beautiful, I was handsome. Every day she brought me more joy and more surprises. It happened 20 years ago shortly after i graduated from college . I was among the top students within Tokyo university , your mother was a beautiful woman who had aspirations of being a nurse. We worked for a while within clinics but that got in the way of family time so we decided to try to open up our own clinic. After a year of marrying her, you were born and several years after that, so was Karin and Yuzu. Everything in my life was great until one day, the day your mother was killed in that tragic accident by the river and since then i went into a deep depression and closed the first clinic down . It wasn't until 3 to 4 years ago i was able to get over it and i opened up the shop " Isshin explained to Ichigo.

" So you really loved her ? " Ichigo asked his father.

" And that's why i remain single to this day , i haven't even attempted to date a woman once. In my heart, Masaki is always # 1 " Isshin answered.

" I still care for Orihime it's that it's hard to talk to her. She's almost like in a different world right now " Ichigo stated.

" You got to give it one lat shot Ichigo , if she wants you, you would know for sure that she loves you but if she doesn't , then it's best you move on " Isshin explained to Ichigo.

" Thanks for the advice dad ! " Ichigo replied as he goes to bed.

Monday October 1 , 2001 , Kurosaki clinic Bleachverse 7:00 A.M

Ichigo is woken up by Renji and Rukia who are in Shinigami form .

" Is it morning already ? " Ichigo asked.

" You have an appointment to go to " Rukia answered as she puts Kon inside Ichigo and Ichigo is forced out into his Shinigami form.

" What the hell ? Why did you put Kon inside my body ? " Ichigo asked.

" We need someone to fill in for you ! " Rukia answered.

" Are you crazy ? Last thing i need is that pervert making me look bad " Ichigo shouted.

" Don't worry, Kisuke made a deal with Kon to be on his best behavior while he's in your body " Renji stated.

" Don't worry Ichigo, i'll be on my best behavior ! " Kon replied as he goes downstairs.

" Now come with us Ichigo ! " Rukia stated as they open up the Senkaimon to travel to the Soul Society.

Karakura High School

8:00 A.M . Kon acting as Ichigo and his friends walk into the classroom . Ichigo, Tatsuki and Chizuru arrive on time.

" We made it in time ! " Tatsuki said to her friends .

" Yeah we did it again ! " Kon replied.

" Has anyone seen where Orihime is at ? " Tatsuki asked.

" I don't know ! " Kon answered.

" Yeah right Ichigo, i know your hiding " Tatsuki stated.

" Tatsuki, i would never do anything to harm Orihime ! " Kon replied.

" How do i even know your even Ichigo, don't thin i forgot what happened " Tatsuki said to Kon.

" What are you talking about Tatsuki ? " Kon asked her.

" I can sense that you're not him , that aura around you is completely different " Tatsuki answered.

" It's just as i thought, she can sense spiritual energy " Kon said to himself.

Konoha Hospital

9:00 P.M. Naruto walks into the hospital where Tsunade await for him with Hinata holding his hand.

" Come in Naruto ! " Tsunade said to her grandson.

" Right Grandma Tsunade " Naruto replied as he lies at the hospital bed.

" How long will the surgery take ? " Hinata asked Tsunade.

" 5 hours at most ! " Tsunade answered.

" You think ,it would work ? " Hinata asked.

" With Naruto's Kyuubi regenerating, he has a far less likely chance of dying " Tsunade explained to Naruto.

" Grandma Tsunade , i was wondering. Can you train me to get stronger ? " Naruto asked Tsunade.

" I wish i can but the problem is that you're not cut out for my training . You lack Chakra control and besides , brute strength isn't your strongest trait, neither is medical Ninjustu or Taijustu. It would take far too long for you to master those techniques and it's unlikely you would ever be the one to heal others " Tsunade explained to Naruto.

" I see but i must get stronger, i must avenge Jiraiya sensei " Naruto shouted.

" Don't get so excited. I have a special training program from you " Tsunade replied.

" What training program ? " Naruto asked.

" It's one that only your capable of doing " Tsunade answered.

Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho (綜合救護詰所, Coordinated Relief Station).

10:00 A.M. Ichigo walks into the hospital room when Unohana grabs him and pushes him to the bed .

" It's best we hurry this up as fast as possible " Unohana said to Ichigo.

" Why ? " Ichigo asked.

" The more we wait the more your inner Hollow would try to take you over " Unohana answered.

" So what are you going to do to me ? " Ichigo asked.

" I need to recover the shock done to your Saketsu (鎖結, Binding Chain) and Hakusui (魄睡, Soul Sleep) as well as your entire Reitekina Junkankei( 霊的な循環系、Spiritual Circulatory System ). Your body is still recovering from the pain of having every cell of his body violently ruptured then reformed by your Inner Hollow" Unohana explained to Ichigo .

" What are you doing ? " Ichigo asked.

" It's a healing technique stabilizing the body , you won't die as long as the cells regenerate and i would have enough time to repair you body " Unohana explained to Ichigo.

" So i should be able to fight again ? " Ichigo asked .

" You need serious repair to 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 ) ,only then can you resume your role as a Shinigami " Unohana answered.

" How long would it take ? " Ichigo asked.

" With this special surgery that i developed however it would take 5 hours, the chance of success is only 65% . This is a complex healing Kidō that requires extreme concentration " Unohana answered.

" Will it hurt ? " Ichigo asked Unohana.

" Not as long as you're asleep . Bakudō # 27. Tanma Otoshi (タンマ落とし, Time-Out Drop)" Unohana chanted as she puts Ichigo to sleep with her Reiatsu.

" I'm ...feeling ...sleepy ! " Ichigo said to himself as he passes out.

"Angel of mercy, divine healing of thay heavens, give me new flesh and new blood and recreate new life. Save the sinless soul who calls thay name Nikunochi Sakusei (肉の血作成Flesh Blood Creation ) " Unohana chanted as she sends blue Reiatsu waves all over the body of Ichigo and the cells inside start to reconstruct within his ruptured organs .

Karakura High School

12:00 Noon Kon in Ichigo's body is at the rooftop eating lunch with his friends Keigo and Mizurio. Kon is still thinking about Ichigo and how to be on his best behavior .

" Ichigo is busy recovering from the injuries from his battle a week ago. I got to make sure his reputation is protected at all cost otherwise i won't be able to have my own separate body for my own personal use " Kon said to himself as he stares with a blank look on his face.

" Ichigo! " Keigo said to Kon waking him up.

" Uh..Keigo ! " Kon said to Keigo.

" Are you feeling alright ? ! " Mizuro asked.

" I'm fine, i just backed out for a second " Kon answered .

" There was a massive earthquake Friday !" Keigo stated.

" Yeah, it was one crazy earthquake !" Kon replied.

" So have you seen Orihime ? " Keigo asked.

" I don't know where she's at " Kon answered.

" I see, good luck that ! " Mizurio replied.

" I feel so distant from Ichigo's world , i barely know any of these guys " Kon said to himself as he goes to eat lunch.

Meanwhile at the bottom of the school at the courtyard . Tatsuki is with the other girls as well as Chizuru.

" So have you seen Orihime ? " Michru asked Tatsuki .

" Nope , me and Chizuru were searching for her all week " Tatsuki answered .

" What do you think happened to her ? " Michiru asked Chizuru.

" I really hope that nothing bad happened to her " Chizuru answered.

" Me too ! " Tatsuki stated.

" She's too innocent to be hurt or worse !" Chizuru replied in a depressed tone.

" It' just weird to see you not wanting to grab boobs anymore " Michiru said to Chizuru .

" It's just not the same anymore ! " Chizuru replied as she sits alone.

Meanwhile throughout Konoha

All the ninjas begin their training to get stronger for the upcoming war .

Meanwhile within the former Hyuga estate Tenten and Neji begin their training .

" Come at me with everything you got Tenten " Neji said to Tenten .

" Right ! " Tenten replied as she takes out her scroll.

" I'm ready for your attack ! " Neji responded as he prepares himself.

" Sōgu: Tenjin Ranman (操具・天刃乱万 Ninja Tool: Million Blade Chaos ) " Tenten chanted as she summons multiple weapons connected with strings to her fingertips from both of her scrolls, directing them towards Neji each with exploding tags. Among the pile is 500 machetes, 600 mases, 700 spears ,400 long swords, 500 Wind Demon Shurikens , 10,000 Senbon and 3 Kusarigamas. Neji dodge most of the attacks only to be grazed by a machete.

" ARRWRGH!" Neji shouted as he holds onto his shoulder.

" Neji are you alright ? " Tenten asked.

" Damn weights slowed me down " Neji answered.

" Why are you trying to dodge these attacks with Lee's weights on ? " Tenten asked.

" Because that's the only way i can get faster, speed is important in battle , especially when your up against a Captain " Neji answered as he ignores his shoulder wound.

" Looks like shraping my blades had paid off " Tenten stated as she puts bandages on his shoulder.

" Don't get full of yourself, i was holding back greatly . You wouldn't be able to grazed me at full power ! " Neji replied.

Meanwhile Kiba and Shino are training without Hinata outside the city limits within the hillsides . Shino has millions of his insects surround a massive 50 foot high rock and he uses all of the insects to levitate it from the ground using up alot of Chakra.

" Whoa, i didn't think you can do that with your insects " Kiba said to Shino as he watches Shino struggle to move the massive boulder.

" It's not easy, it takes alot of Chakra and concentration to achieve this strength with my insects " Shino explained to Kiba.

" Showing off huh ? Allow me to show you a massive feat of my own " Kiba replied as he points at a small 100 foot high hill.

" What about it ? " Shino asked.

" Watch me punch holes into it , come on Akamaru " Kiba answered.

" ARRF ! " Akamaru barked as they go together.

" Zetsu: Gatsūga (絶・牙通牙 Absolute: Fang Over Fang ) " Kiba chanted as him and Akamaru dash moving at 1833.3 ft/sec (1,250 MPH) which hits the 10 foot high , 50 foot diameter hill and punches through it leaving a rifle like exit wound making the entry hole 5 foot in diameter and the exit hole 15 feet in diameter.

" Not bad ! " Shino said to Kiba.

" Not good enough, my goal for my training is to punch a hole with a hill . If i can do that , then i'll definitively be Jōunin level " Kiba stated,

" Good luck with that ! " Shino replied.

Meanwhile Konohamaru begins his training by running up the stairs up to the Hokage Monument weight 300 lb weights on his body while pulling a massive 20 ton boulder on his back climbing up the monument . Konohamaru struggles to the top with a concerned Ebisu not to far.

" Don't you think your taking this training way to far ? " Ebisu asked Konohamaru .

" I need to do this to avenge Uncle Asuma and get payback, not to mention i must catch up with Naruto " Konohamaru answered.

" You're going to end up killing yourself ! " Ebisu stated .

" I don't care, i must do this ! " Konohamaru replied.

Meanwhile Lee and Gai train while doing pushups one-handed with a 2 ton rock tied to their back as well as their right hand.

" 1,345 ...1,346 ...1,347 " Lee said to Gai as he does the pushups with no strain .

" That's the spirit Lee, you can do this . 1,348... 1,349 " Gai stated.

" Sensei, can we move on to a tougher training program ? This is child's play " Lee asked Gai.

" Sure, i was doing this because you haven't recovered but since your feeling better, we'll try with 20 ton rocks " Gai answered as they both cast those heavy boulders and pick up even larger boulders.

" Yeah ! This is more like it ! " Lee replied.

Meanwhile Kakashi looks on from a distance sighing at their training .

" Those two really don't know what restrain means " Kakashi said to himself only to dodge a kunai from Anko.

" Pay attention Kakashi ! " Anko said to the silver-haired Jounin.

" I almost forgot we were training ! " Kakashi stated.

" Focus on me or you'll regret it ! " Anko replied.

" Very well then ! " Kakashi replied.

Meanwhile Ino, Shikamaru and Chōji are brought out by their fathers to an empty field to train them.

" Alright. You guys wish to become the successors to our legacy right ? " Inoichi asked the group.

" Yes ! " the young InoShikaChō answered.

" Then we must show you what you need to achieve to reach the level of a Jōunin " Shikaku stated.

" Watch and learn ! " Chōza replied.

" Aim for that hill ! " Inoichi said to the group as they aim at the 150 foot diameter ,100 foot high hill .

" Kage Hariyama(影の針山Shadow Needle Mountain) " Shikaku chanted as he use all those thousands of shadow needles to form into one massive sword that travels 2,500 feet into the hill and then begins to saw through the hill and cut it in half within 3 seconds. The force of the slash generated 437 Tons of TNT from the attack as the hill is perfectly slashed in half.

" Incredible, he just cut a hill in half with his shadows " Ino said to the group shocked to see the feat done.

" Shinrei no Asshukujō ( 心霊の圧縮場 Psionic Compression Field ) " Inoichi chanted as he stops the top half of the hilltop from falling levitating the 50 foot high ,150 foot diameter rock .

" What the hell ? How is he able to lift the rock with his mind ? " Chōji asked.

" Now it's my turn , stand back guys ! " Chōza said to the kids.

" Right ! " Ino, Shikamaru and Chōji repiled as they watch Chōza do his uilmate attack.

" Chōjozan Kōgeki (蝶は除算攻撃Butterfly Dividing Strike)" Chōza chanted as he gains butterfly wings on his back and blue Chakra flames around his staff and swings down with his strength and smashes the massive hill into billions of bits which all disintegrate from the blue Chakra flames. The force of the smash generates 437 Tons of TNT forming a 287 foot diameter ,79.2 foot deep crater, leveling 61,700 meters ^3 of rock .

" Incredible, what a great amount of strength ! " Shikamaru stated.

" That's the power that you must master in order to become the level of a Captain " Inoichi said to his daughter as he's worn out from the Jutsu.

" How can we even compete with that much power ? " Ino asked .

" You need to increase your Chakra to increase your power to perform these feats " Shikaku explained to their children.

" How can we increase our Chakra to that extent ? " Shikamaru asked .

" You need to increase the level of strength with amping up your training, train with us and you can achieve this level of power " Chōza explained to them.

" Right father ! " Chōji replied.

Konoha Hospital

2:00 P.M. Naruto has been fixed up after the 5 hour surgery , Tsunade has been exhausted of her Chakra.

" There all done ! " Tsunade said as her medical team cheer for the success of the surgery.

Hinata walks in to see Naruto in the hospital with his powers restored.

" How did it went Lady Tsunade ? " Hinata asked.

" The operation was a success, His Keirakukei has been repaired and the Tenketsu near the heart was fixed as well " Tsunade answered.

" Cool, now i can train to get stronger " Naruto stated as he wakes up.

" You were awake all this time ? " Tsunade asked him.

" I've just woke up from the surgery and i heard i was done " Naruto answered as he jumps out of bed.

" Naruto kun ! " Hinata shouted as she hugs Naruto and feels on his face.

" You were here all this time ? " Naruto asked Hinata.

" I had to get her outside because she kept worrying about you not surviving " Tsunade stated.

" You really do care Hinata ? " Naruto asked Hinata.

" Of course i do ! " Hinata answered.

" Tsunade what about that training ? " Naruto asked.

" First of all, you need to recover for a full day, if you try to exert yourself while you Keirakukei and Tenketsu are trying to repair itself, you'll stress your body and that would unleash the Nine Tails again " Tsunade explained to Naruto.

" I see , then i'll have to wait until tomorrow so you can train me " Naruto stated.

" For the last time, i can't train you but i know who can " Tsunade replied as Shima and Fukasaku walk into the room.

" I was glad i was summoned here, i was already thinking of coming to fetch ya, Naruto boy " Fukasaku said to Naruto.

" Who are you ? " Naruto asked the elder toad.

" I'm Jiraiya's teacher, Fukasaku. Him and his wife Shima are heirs of the Great Toad Sage and known as the Two Great Sage Toads " Tsunade answered.

" Are these guys very powerful ? " Naruto asked.

" These guys despite their advanced age are capable of holding their own with a Kage , they were the secret to Jiraiya's immense power . Even the legendary Gamabunta pales in comparison to these two's immense strength " Tsunade explained to Naruto.

" Great, they can help me avenge the death of Jiraiya " Naruto stated.

" You're the only one i believe can do that Naruto boy ! " Fukasaku replied.

" Then it's settled, why wait until tomorrow when we can do so today ? " Naruto asked.

" Wait until tomorrow, this training isn't met for one who's not even fully recovered " Fukasaku answered.

" Damn it ! " Naruto replied.

Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho

3:00 P.M. Ichigo's surgery is complete. Unohana has finished fixing the broken Reitekina Junkankei vessels in his entire body that was badly damaged from Naruto's Rasenshuriken . Ichigo has bandages on his entire body place there by Unohana.

" There, the surgery was a success " Unohana said to Ichigo .

" Thank goodness ! " Ichigo stated .

" You need at least a day of rest, you should be back to normal then " Unohana answered.

" I can't stay here much longer , i need to rescue Orihime " Ichigo said to Unohana.

" I can't let you do that in your condition ! " Unohana replied.

" Why not ? " Ichigo questioned.

" You need time to have your body stabilize from the Hollow energy inside of you. Even with your body fixed, you still need some time to stabilize your power so you can continue your Hollow Training " Unohana explained to Ichigo.

" You got to be shitting me , you guys are going to leave Orihime aside with Aizen ? " Ichigo shouted.

" No we're not going to leave her alone . As we speak, Yoruichi and her task force is going to break Orihime out " Unohana stated.

" What ? I need to rescue her too, they need me ! " Ichigo replied.

" Ichigo, you're not leaving this hospital and that's final . Mayuri is going to build the Garganta later on and Yoruichi's team is going to take her back and we'll have no worries " Unohana explained to Ichigo

" What if they aren't successful ? I must come to save them " Ichigo stated only to be knocked out by Unohana via chop to the back of the head.

" What did you do ? " Isane asked.

" I knocked him out, that chop is meant to knock out even the strongest Shinigami within a period of 24 hours . He won't be waking up until tomorrow afternoon " Unohana answered as she straps Ichigo to the bed with restrains and puts tube within him.

" What about food or water ? " Isane asked.

" The IV should take care of that ! " Unohana replied.

" What are you going to do now ? " Isane asked.

" I'm going to train with Kenpachi ! " Unohana answered as she walks away with her Zanpakutō .

Kisuke's training Ground

4:00 P.M. Chad comes to the underground training ground where Yoruichi awaits for him.

" So you're going to train me ? " Chad asked.

" I must said you came a long way since you began , i wish to spar with you to test your full power, don't hold anything back on me " Yoruichi answered.

" Fine then Gigante Amable El Escudo (Spanish for Gentle Giant's Shield)" Chad chanted as his right arm turned into shield that extends from his hand to some distance beyond his forearm with the same intricate pattern as before, surrounding what appears to be Hollow-like teeth in the center and what appears to be a rose like pattern or skeletal nose and eyes near the end. He also loses the wing-like protrusion which extended from his shoulder, replaced with an hexagonal plate sitting over his shoulder.

" Come at me with everything you got " Yoruichi stated.

" Fine then ! " Chad replied as he comes in front of her moving at 7333.3 ft/sec (5,000 MPH) but Yoruichi effortlessly dodges the punch appearing as if the punch passed through.

" Too slow ! " Yoruichi said to Chad.

" What the hell ? This is impossible ! How did you dodge that punch ? It looked like it connected " Chad asked shocked to see his punch miss.

" Just as i thought, you lack speed. Without speed, your punches would be useless, no matter how strong they are " Yoruichi said to Chad.

" I'm just getting started ! " Chad replied as he does a series of 50 fast punches but Yoruichi effortlessly dodge them without even appearing to move an inch

" His punches are surprisingly fast, there almost as fast as Bankai Ichigo's sword strikes but there not enough " Yoruichi said to herself as she dodges every blow.

" She's incredible, there's no way i'm this slow. She's easily evading my blows as if she was intangible but it's not Kidō, it's just her raw speed " Chad said to himself as he then sees Yoruichi behind him .

" Chad, you're faster than i thought but you still need to be faster and stronger than that " Yoruichi said to Chad.

" Then try dodging this El Directo (Spanish for The Direct) " Chad chanted as he releases a huge blast of spiritual energy that seemingly hits Yoruichi with a powerful punch creating a blast radius destroying everything within a 1,000 foot radius but it's revealed the blast passed through her like an illusion.

" That was pretty fast but not fast enough ! " Yoruichi replied.

" I guess i need to stop holding back then Brazo Izquierda del Diablo (Spanish for Left Arm of the Devil ) " Chad chanted as he covers his left arm all the way up to the shoulder with a liquid which solidifies into a form of armor. The arm is white, with a red stripe running down the length of the center. His fingertips of red diamond-shaped marks on them. A spike protrudes from the shoulder and two more resembling claws extend over his chest.

" You really have improved Chad, now let's see who's punch is stronger " Yoruichi said to Chad as she stands there.

" La Muerte ( Spanish for The Death ) " Chad chanted as he dashes at Yoruichi.

" My turn ! " Yoruichi replied as she puts her hand out and catches Chad's punch with her right hand which send Chad flying 500 feet into a pile of rocks

" What did she do ? Her arm was vibrating, was she throwing punches all this time ? I couldn't even see them coming " Chad said to himself.

" 100 punches ? That Left Arm of yours was alot tougher than i though, granted i held back a bit " Yoruichi said to Chad.

" 100 punches ? I didn't even see one of them and why is my arm burned ? " Chad asked Yoruichi as his arm is covered with smoke and burns.

" That's because i was punching at the speed of 18.5 miles per second ( 66,700 MPH) , that's the speed of the Earth's orbit around the Sun " Yoruichi answered.

" That's your speed without even releasing your Zanpakutō ? " Chad asked Yoruichi.

" You betcha , that's why i'm the fastest in the Soul Society " Yoruichi answered.

Meanwhile Kisuke watches from a distance what just happened.

" Yoruichi, you're such a show off ! " Kisuke said to himself as he recalls the last few seconds.

A few seconds ago

Kisuke Pov

When Chad when for his attack, that's when you came and threw those Mach 87 punches his way.

" La Muerte ( Spanish for The Death ) " Chad chanted as he dashes at Yoruichi.

" My turn ! " you replied as she puts her hand out and catches Chad's punch.

To you, Chad looked like he was moving at the speed of a sloth compared to a normal human . Within that split-second, you threw 100 weak bit potent punches right into his arm that were covered in flames then used a palm thrust to send him flying into the rocks. Chad didn't even see the first 100 blows to him it appeared you only struck him with your palm instead. You're quite the show off.

Present Day

3rd person pov

Yoruichi meanwhile walks towards Chad and grabs him to dust him off.

" Your power is around Captain level but you seriously lack at speed . To be able to throw a strong enough punch to pierce anything, it needs velocity. Velocity can be achieved by accelerating your legs and moving with enough speed to match your striking power. What i demonstrated to you was a fury of weaker punches but due to my speed, became strong enough to easily damage your Brazo Izquierda del Diablo . Had i hit you with a harder punch at the same speed, your arm would of been ripped off " Yoruichi explained to Chad.

" Your power is incredible , no wonder Ichigo grew so strong under you " Chad stated.

" I never trained Ichigo in hand to hand, i only trained him in Bankai achievement using Kisuke's method. Had i taught him the ability of high-speed Hakuda combined with his Bankai, he would've effortlessly defeated Byakuya . You on the other hand fight manly hand to hand but your other big problem is that you lack technique " Yoruichi explained to Chad.

" What do you mean ? " Chad asked.

" You fight in a predictable boxing pattern, while it's not a bad skill to have, it's unrefined . You need a stronger skill set of hand to hand combat moves otherwise your enemy can easily predict and read your movements.. While you're definitely Captain level in brute strength, you lack the speed and skill to be dangerous to most Captain level Shinigami in their Bankai state. As for an Espada, you're probably only 8 or 7th level Espada at most, we need to get you so you can at least be able to hold your own with the 5th Espada , this would be your training " Yoruichi explained to Chad.

" Very well then ! " Chad replied.

" Now let's work on your fighting technique first " Yoruichi said to Chad as she starts to fight Chad.

Meanwhile at Squad 6 barracks

Renji and Rukia meet Sasakibe within the training ground to prepare their training with him.

" We'll start with Shikai training , before you guys can prove to be a match for me in Bankai. One of you need to defeat me in my Shikai state " Sasakibe said to Renji and Rukia.

" I see, you think you can handle the both of us with Shikai ? " Renji asked Sasakibe.

" I defeated both of you with Bankai while the two of you used Bankai " Sasakibe answered.

" We'll just have to prove ourselves against you then ! " Rukia replied as she releases her Shikai.

" Same here ! " Renji responded as he releases his Shikai .

" Time for me to do the same Bite Gonryōmaru (厳霊丸, Solemn Spirit ) " Sasakibe chanted as he transforms his blade into a rapier.

" He transformed his sword into a rapier ! " Renji said to Rukia.

" Amazing ! " Rukia replied only to see Sasakibe charge up lightning around his Shikai.

" Allow me to show you the true power of my Gonryōmaru " Sasakibe said to the two as he fires a powerful lightning bolt towards them which they both dodge

" He's going to be tough ! " Rukia stated.

" You think ? " Renji replied.

Squad 4 barracks

6:00 P.M. Ichigo is asleep within the room when he thinks back to the day Orihime was kidnapped.

3 days ago

Ichigo stands at the ruins of his neighborhood with rage in his eyes .

" DAMN IT ! " Ichigo shouted as his body flares up with Reiatsu.

" Calm down Ichigo ! You're overexerting yourself ! " Shinji shouted.

" SHUT UP! MY HOMETOWN WAS JUST DESTROYED AND THOSE BASTARDS HAVE ORIHIME ! Open up the Senkaimon , we can still stop those bastards " Ichigo shouted.

" I'm afraid we can't ! " Hitsugaya replied as he lands on the ground with Kisuke and Yoruichi appearing there.

" What do you mean ? " Ichigo asked Hitsugaya.

" The enemy tricked us good. The foe i fought switched himself out with a clone when he used a Genjutsu to make it seem he fired a Cero but in reality left to set up a sealing barrier which blocked off the use of Senkaimons. No one can leave here and no one can come here to aid us " Kisuke explained to Ichigo

" THIS IS BULLSHIT ! I'M NOT LETTING THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS SHIT ! " Ichigo replied as he dashes in the air only to be stopped by Yoruichi.

" What the hell are you doing Ichigo ? " Yoruichi asked him.

" I'm creating my own Senkaimon to get Orihime and get payback " Ichigo answered.

" You fool, you don't even know how to use the Senkaimon, besides even if you could, the barrier prevents anyone for going into the Dangai " Yoruichi stated.

" FUCK ! " Ichigo replied as he crashes down to the ground.

" Ichigo , clam down everything is going to be fine " Rukia said to her orange haired best friend.

" How ? Those bastards took Orihime! They overpowered your brother and Kenpachi, they destroyed this city, they hurt my friends and they nearly killed me. How are things going to be okay ? " Ichigo shouted.

Suddenly Tobi emerges out of the flames walking to the Shinigami.

" It seems one of them is still here " Hitsugaya said to the team as they all draw their swords.

" Where is everyone ? They left me alone !" Tobi shouted acting scared by the Shinigami surrounding him. Ichigo dashes to grab him by the throat.

" OPEN UP A GARANATA OR I'LL CUT YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF ! " Ichigo shouted in intense anger.

" Easy... That's no way to talk to the Akatsuki leader like that " Tobi replied as his goofy voice turns into a dark clam tone.

" WHAT THE HELL ? " Ichigo shouted.

" Akatsuki Leader ? You must be Itachi Uchiha " Hitsugaya stated.

" No but your clothes , my name is Madara Uchiha " Madara answered.

" Madara Uchiha ? " Yoruichi asked.

" We never heard of you ! " Shinji answered.

" Those men that attacked your precious city , all work for me. The only way you can open up a Garganta now is by killing me " Madara replied as he gets his distance from Ichigo.

" So you're the one who kidnapped Orihime and attacked my friends ? I'LL MAKE YOU PAY " Ichigo shouted as he charges up his Bankai creating a powerful wave of Reiatsu with his Hollow mask forming around his face.

Present Day

Ichigo wakes up seeing himself restrained, after a full minute of struggling , he breaks out with all his strength and jumps out and grabs his sword.

" I got to save Orihime , i must get my payback ! " Ichigo said to himself with intense anger within his eyes.

Isane walks in only to see Ichigo out of his bed.

" Ichigo, how did you... ? " Isane asked only to be grabbed by Ichigo.

" Where's the 12 division ? " Ichigo asked her in a pissed off mood.

" How did you get back up from Unohana's chop ? " Isane answered with a question.

" WHERE'S SQUAD 12 ? " Ichigo shouted.

" I can't let you go there ! " Isane stated as she goes to draw her sword only to see Ichigo behind her and she falls to the ground with him knocking out Isane.

" Sorry, but i can't let you call your Captain over her ! " Ichigo replied as he rushes out of the hospital and keeps running until he finds Hanataro.

" Ichigo, what are you doing up ? " Hanataro asked only to be grabbed by Ichigo.

" Where's Squad 12 ? " Ichigo asked Hanataro .

" 2 miles northwest ! " Hanataro answered as he runs away in fear.

" I have no time to lose , i must save Orihime ! " Ichigo said to himself as he rushes to the 12th division.

Meanwhile at District # 3 Īsuto shūryō

40 miles north of the Seireitei , Kenpachi trains with Unohana on top of a 2,400 foot high mountain. Kenpachi is wearing no eyepatch on using Kendo style fighting while Unohana is in her sealed sword state using one hand on her sword when she gets a call from Hanataro.

" Unohana ! " Hanataro shouted.

" What's wrong Hanataro ? " Unohana asked .

" It's Ichigo , he's broken free " Hanataro answered.

" That's impossible. I struck the back of his head at the occipital lobe with a combination of Medical Kidō and Hakuda. He should be at a catatonic state for a day " Unohana stated.

" But he got up and he knocked out Isane " Hanataro replied.

" Call all the other captains over quickly , we have a serious problem on our hands " Unohana replied.

" What's going on ? " Kenpachi asked.

" Want to fight Ichigo ? " Unohana asked.

" Of course, i want to test my new strength against him " Kenpachi answered.

" Well today is your lucky day, Ichigo is acting up. Care to kick his ass ? " Unohana asked only to see Kenpachi rush down to the Seireitei .

" Ichigo, we'll finally have our rematch " Kenpachi shouted as he rushes to the Seireitei .

" I guess i didn't need to tell him twice ! " Unohana replied.

Meanwhile at the Maggot's nest

Mayuri and Nemu have Gaara hooked up to some machine within the cell from their lab to monitor Gaara's state and find a way to extract the Tailed Beast from him without killing Gaara.

" We can't seem to find a way to extract the Tailed Beast without killing the boy yet " Mayuri said to Nemu.

" How can we possibly remove it ? Nothing is working so far " Nemu asked Mayuri.

" Shut up, you moron. Don't you think i already know that ? This is such a pain in the ass, why are we bothering to save this child's life in the first place? He's the enemy but no, that bitch Unohana demanded he must remained unharmed " Mayuri ranted as he works on extracting the Tailed Beast out of Gaara when he here's the P.A.

" Attention all Shinigami, Ichigo Kurosaki is attempting to hijack the Garganta to Hueco Mundo, all units must stop him " the P.A said to the Shinigami.

" Damn him, Nemu, let's hurry ! " Mayuri stated.

" Right ! " Nemu replied as she follows him.

Meanwhile at Squad 12 Barracks

Renji and Rukia are the first to arrive there both worn out from their training with Sasakibe to see everyone knocked out by Ichigo in the division with him about to enter the Garganta.

" Stop right there Ichigo ! " Rukia said to Ichigo.

" Don't get in my way ! " Ichigo stated.

" Calm down Ichigo, this isn't the way to go " Renji stated.

" Fuck off , if you're not joining me then you're in the way !" Ichigo replied.

" Then we have no choice but to stop you " Rukia shouted as she draws out her sword.

" Don't take this personally ! " Renji replied .

" I have no time for this , Getsuga Tensho ! " Ichigo shouted as he swings his sword releasing a massive wave that blinds Rukia and Renji while Ichigo jumps into the Garganta .

The smoke clears up to reveal that half the lab was destroyed from the explosion.

" Shit, he got away ! " Renji said to Rukia.

" That idiot , what the hell is he thinking ? " Rukia shouted.

" We should've known he'll try something like this ! " Renji replied.

Meanwhile on the way to Hueco Mundo

Ichigo runs on a rigid path across the void heading to get Orihime.

" Orihime , i'm coming to save you ! " Ichigo said to himself as he heads to Las Noches.

Omake 41 : Arrancar Encyclopedia

Skullak is there within the place of Gin Ichimaru .

" I'm Skullak Tuma, filling in for Gin Ichimaru today for he is sick . I'm here to explain the events that are to come with my lovely girlfriend Cirucci Thunderwitch " Skullak to his audience.

" The new upcoming arc would be the Training for the Final Showdown arc, the last two arcs in Bleach Shippuden . Not only are Shinigami are going to train but so are the Arrancars " Cirucci explained to the audience.

" As the war heats up between the Shinigami and Shinobi, the Arrancars are training so they can be ready to take down the Gotei 13 " Skullak stated.

" This new arc would bring together new battles, new abilities and even new characters " Cirucci replied.

" As well as the return of fallen Comrades ! " Skullak said to the audience.

" And the best part of all this is that it starts off with Ichigo getting PWNED! " Cirucci replied only for Ichigo to arrive in Bankai.

" What did you say ? I'm several times stronger than i was in canon " Ichigo shouted.

" Read the script ! " Skullak replied as he hands Ichigo the script .

" Who wrote this shit ? I'm going to find the son of a bitch who wrote this and kick his ass " Ichigo shouted as he marches away.

" Seriously, does he expect to beat 13 Captain level Arrancar himself ? How stupid is he ? " Cirucci asked.

" Well me, Harribel, Barragan , Starrk and Ulquorria are above Captain level so he has no chance. He's not Goku and we're not the Red Ribbon Army " Skullak answered.

" Well that's it for this Omake ! " Cirucci said to the audience.

" Se you in the next arc ! " Skullak replied as he closes the Omake.
