Ichigo wakes up in his bed with Tatsuki who was sleeping in bed with him . Ichigo is still feeling depressed over the failure to rescue Orihime however is feeling a bit better due to the fact he would get a chance to get stronger. Having Tatsuki in bed with him also makes him feel less depressed given his childhood friend.
" Tatsuki , get up ! " Ichigo said to his best friend.
" What is it Ichigo ? " Tatsuki asked.
" It's best you leave ! " Ichigo answered.
" Where are you going ? " Tatsuki questioned the Substitute Shinigami as she gets out of Ichigo's bed.
" I have to train to get stronger ! " Ichigo replied as he walks out only to see Kisuke and Yoruichi at his windowsill.
" Going somewhere Ichigo ? " Kisuke asked Ichigo.
" Ichigo , i'm guessing you're ready to go " Kisuke said to Ichigo .
" Yeah , i'm going to train with the Vizards " Ichigo replied.
" Hold it, come with us to the shop ! " Yoruichi stated.,
" Right ! " Ichigo replied.
" You too ! " Kisuke said to Tatsuki as they grab her .
" Why me ? " Tatsuki asked.
" You're needed for this important conversation " Kisuke answered as Yoruichi grab her and they hop out of Ichigo's window.

6:00 A.M. Naruto and Hinata wake up within the same bed and grab each others hands and kiss each other in the mouth.
" Morning Hinata ! " Naruto said to his girlfriend.
" Morning Naruto ! " Hinata replied.
" Are you ready to head out ? " Naruto asked Hinata.
" Of course Naruto , i always wanted to get stronger so you can notice me " Hinata explained to Naruto.
" Well you succeed big time !" Naruto replied.
" Uh... Naruto , want to come with me to the shower ? " Hinata asked Naruto.
" Fine ! " Naruto answered.
" You seem excited to start training ! " Hinata said to Naruto.
" To be honest, the prospect of learning a new justu or technique seems exciting but it's not about fun and games. I need to avenge Prevy Sage and rescue Sasuke and Gaara . I'm just happy that you're going to be there training in your own way as well " Naruto explained tom Hinata.
" I feel honored to know that you want me at your side ! " Hinata stated.
" Same here, i just hope that Gaara and Sasuke are doing well too ! " Naruto replied as he heads into the shower with Hinata.

30 miles west of Las Noches
6:00 A.M. Sasuke wakes up by himself looking around him where he looks around him.
" Looks like my power has calmed down since yesterday . Before everything around me died now it seems more stable, i'm guessing i have to return to Las Noches " Sasuke said to himself only to hear screams from a distance.
Nel , Pesche and Dondochakka are running from a pack of 10 Adjuchas that are chasing them .
" Shit, what's with all these Adjuchas appearing around here ? " Pesche shouted as they are surrounded by the monsters.
" What to do ? There's no escape ! " Dondochakka shouted.
" We're doomed ! " Nel shouted as she cowers behind them.
Suddenly all the Adjuchas drop dead as Sasuke appears drawing his sword back into his sheathe.
" What are you doing here ? Weaklings like you shouldn't be running around these parts " Sasuke said to the group.
" Oh my gosh, you're so dreamy ! " Nel shouted as she hugs Sasuke
" Amazing, did he just kill all those Adjuchas by himself ? " Pesche asked Dondochakka.
" I didn't even see him coming nor when he sheathed his blade ! " Dondochakka answered only to see a Menos Grande emerge from the sand.
" That's strange . Something happened around here to distort the Reishi within the atmosphere of Hueco Mundo. The trail of Reishi disruptions seem to stretch as far as Las Noches itself. Whatever happened in the fortress must of released some Reishi fallout that's attracting all the Menos to emerge from the surface " Sasuke said to himself as he quickly unsheathes and resheates his sword so fast that it looked like he didn't move yet effortlessly split a Menos Grande in half without even looking at it.
" He did it again . Not since an Espada have i seen someone move so fast! " Pesche said to himself.
" Who are you handsome ? " Nel asked Sasuke.
" None of your concern, you guys need to get going from here or your hollow food " Sasuke answered as he walks away.
" Thanks for the help ! " Pesche stated.
" Right ! " Dondochakka replied as they all leave while Sasuke grabs the remains of the Hollows.
" Time for some breakfast ! " Sasuke said to himself as he creates a small fire and starts to cook his Hollow food.

Las Noches
6:00 A.M. Aizen calls a meeting for everyone within the assembly hall within the first floor within sector 50 . Gin, Tōusen, his Fracción, Wonderweiss, the Akatsuki, Espada, the Fracción, the Privarons, Exequias, the Construcción (all 7 of them), the Commandos (all 5 Buresuto, Borutā, Swindoru, and Buroru who is still mad to find out the a Soul Reaper was the one that killed him), Saundo Webu, his pets, his brother Shokku Webu, and any Numeros that what to come.
" Hello ladies and gentlemen. I have gathered you all here to discuss the events that have occurred yesterday " Aizen said to the crowd.
" Why are the Akatsuki here ? " Barragan asked.
" Because they're largely to thank for helping out in the defense of Las Noches. It's largely the leader of the Akatsuki that should be the one to thank , the one known as Pein " Aizen answered as Barragan looks at Pein with disdain.
" Damn that human , how dare he have that much power over life and death ? " Barragan said to himself .
" You're saying he was the one who revived us ? " Onsurōto asked Aizen .
" We didn't there was anyone as godly as you, especially not a human " Buresuto stated.
" I can't believe i was killed by a lowly Shinigami ! " Buroru replied.
" Now comes the first issue . As you all noticed, the place itself has undergone severe structural damage due to the immense damage caused by the Shinigami raid . We lost gas and electrical power throughout the castle and many rooms and homes have been leveled " Aizen explained to the crowd.
" You're telling us, we lost our homes to the Substitute Shinigami ! " Apache shouted.
" We've lost nearly all our processions ! " Mila replied .
" How long would repairs take Suku Rappa ? " Aizen asked the leader of Construcción.
" It's going to take at least 3 months to fully repair the entire palace. There is so much structural damage to the main pillars and the canopy of Las Noches took the worse damage and is at risk of total collapse. If the dome of Las Noches collapses, the entire place would be destroyed from the weight of the collapsing dome " Suku Rappa explained to Aizen.
" That's not a good thing at all. Las Noches's total weight is 150 billion tons of reinforced concrete that is 20km in diameter and 6km high . The force of that collapsing on us would kill anyone inside , even someone as strong as Aizen " Gin stated.
" That would be a terrifying thought ! " Tousen replied.
" Just how badly damaged the sky dome is ? " Harribel asked.
" Without the main sector 0 tower , it's prone to collapse if any Espada level Arrancar unleashes a Grand Ray Cero or release their sword while fighting on a weakened section of the dome " Suku Rappa explained to Aizen.
" I see, it's a miracle that it withstood Isshin Kurosaki's Bankai Getsuga and Hollow Ichigo's Cero. It's no surprise that this place would be falling apart Syazel stated.
" That blast was nowhere near as powerful as the one that bastard did 20 years ago " Skullak replied.
" He's right, either Isshin held back this time around or he's really become that rusty " Gin stated.
" Between his fight with us and the Karakura Town Incident, he lost his powers and hasn't achieved the same level of power as he did at his prime " Aizen explained to the Arrancars.
" Between his display of power and losing my rank as the 1# Espada, it was the reason i disappeared for 20 years to gain the strength avenge my fallen family and meet that bastard again in battle. Now that he regained his powers, i can exact my revenge " Skullak stated.
" Don't worry, once the war begins, i'll leave Isshin to your hands to exact your revenge " Aizen replied .
" I have an idea ! " Rudbornn said to the group.
" What is your idea ? " Aizen asked.
" If you allow me to produce 500 Calaveras, we can reduce the time of reconstruction to 1 month at most " Rudbornn explained to the two.
" That's a pretty good idea !" Aizen replied as he drinks some tea.
" We'll begin with the reconstruction of the dome first. If that thing crumbles , so too would the entire foundation of Las Noches and we'll be dead regardless of how powerful we are . No Hierro is dense enough to protect against 150 billion tons of rubble falling at 120 mph, the force of that debris would produce the force equivalent of 75 megatons of TNT, enough to equal 1 1/2 Tsar Bombas " Suku Rappa explained to the group.
" 75 megatons of TNT ? There's no way any of us survives anything that powerful " Grimmjow stated.
" All the more reason we must begin construction immediately " Suku replied.
" Very well then, the Construcción shall begin the repairs as well as Rudbornn. You guys are dismissed " Aizen said the Construcción. team.
" Don't worry Lord Aizen, we won't fail you ! " Suka Benja stated.
" We'll make sure the dome of Las Noches doesn't fall ! " Obarodo replied.
" We'll help rebuild Las Noches to it's former glory ! " Haitawa said to the other Arrancars.
" And demolish any loose materials to add to the dome of Las Noches ! " Ranpeji replied.
" We'll make sure the pillars of Las Noches remains strong " Rongu Hauru said to Aizen.
" And make sure the chemical composition of Las Noches can withstand the elements " Mikkusu Masuta replied.
" Let's head out men ! " Suku said to his men as they all head out.
" Now what to talk about now ? " Aizen asked .
" I have an interesting report to give you ! " Shokku answered as he gives Aizen an document.
" What is this document ? " Aizen asked.
" My experimental hollows that Onsurōto had with him in battle gathered some data about the Vizards " Sokku answered.
" Hmm, i could of done that if my lab wasn't leveled by that handsome Substitute Shinigami " Szayel stated in anger.
" My reports indicate that the Vizards are part Shinigami and part Hollow with hollow part. They have Shikai and Bankai, but also use hollow abilities like Sonído, Bala, and Cero " Shokku explained to the group.
" No shit sherlock, this isn't the first time they came here to trash the place . They attacked here 20 years ago along with former Captains Isshin, Urahara, Yoruichi and Tessai , you don't think we aren't aware of their powers ? " Szayel stated.
" But here's something you guys didn't know. My bugs acquired some interesting intel about them . I believe going by the data, they have gained a release form similar to General Tōusen " Shokku explained to Aizen.
" Looks that might be interesting. The Vizards appear to be far stronger than they were 20 years ago . That research might help the Espadas and Arrancars all achieve a new level of power, one above that of a Resurrección " Aizen stated.
" What the hell would that benefit ? We need to actually capture a Vizard to do anything . Your experiments are as useless as ever Shokku " Szayel arrogantly taunted.
" What was the last successful experiment you made Szayel ? You haven't made much groundbreaking innovations in years and besides, i already collected some of the blood from them with my insects . All we need is more raw materials and our army would improve greatly . Problem is that we don't have any materials remaining to produce the residual material and with the power out of this place, i can't process it " Shokku explained to Aizen.
" I see , if that's the case then work on the issue. You impressed me with your research " Aizen said to Sokku while Skullak steps forward and taps Pein on the shoulder .
" Hey Pein , i have a question for you ! " Skullak said to the Akatsuki leader.
" What is it ? " Pein asked.
" Do you have enough Chakra to revive anyone else ? " Skullak answered with a question.
" I enough power to bring back five more people ! " Pein responded.
" Perfect , that's exactly what we need ! " Skullak stated.
" What are you planning to do ? " Aizen asked .
" I plan to bring back Grimmjow's Fracción " Skullak answered.
" Why bring them back ? " Aizen asked.
" Because they're strong fighters ! " Skullak answered.
" Strong my ass, they lost to a couple of pissants " Grimmjow stated
" I heard Shawlong fought someone with a RYK of 15,000 to 30,000 RYK and held his own for a while , that's the level of a recently obtained Bankai . Shawlong was able to injure a Captain even at 20% the power of his Bankai power and to my understanding Yylfordt also fought well against a Bankai user at 20%, had he fought his opponent seriously, he could've won. While it's true Di Roy and Nakeem were weak and left their guards down too soon, you're to blame for the fact that they turned out to be so weak " Skullak explained to Grimmjow.
" What do you mean that i'm to blame ? " Grimmjow asked .
" Di Roy lost most of his power when you two fought in the pact and took the right half of his mask of attack him, also by eating a part of the other Fracción, they lose the power to ever evolve their powers naturally like the rest of us. Nakeem was barely able to evolve past an Gillain because of you. When an Adjuchas is badly injured or at near death, their body regenerates however they lose the ability to evolve and are stuck in the state they were in currently " Skullak explained to Grimmjow.
" Skullak has a point. All Espadas 5-8 have all been prefect Adjuchas that have came close to evolving into Vasto Lordes or have never been seriously injured in battle before . Those who are Fracción or high level Números have been Adjuchas who were stopped by a serious injury from the past and they lost the ability to evolve one's power " Tōusen explained to Grimmjow.
" Fine whatever, i'll accept them as long as they prove their worth being my Fracción " Grimmjow stated.
" Fine, then, let's do this after breakfast. I can't revive anyone on an empty stomach! " Pein replied as he leaves the assembly hall.
" Everyone is dismissed and allowed to have breakfast ! " Aizen said to the group as they all leave including a Calaveras.
Meanwhile at Kisuke's Shop
Tatsuki gets out of the shower after getting dressed into her schoolgirl outfit. Kisuke and Yoruichi waits for her outside the bathroom with Ichigo.
" So why did you bring me along ? " Tatsuki asked them.
" We want you to keep this guy in check " Kisuke answered as he puts Kon inside of Ichigo knocking Ichigo out of his body.
" You got to be kidding me ? You can't dump Kon on her " Ichigo stated.
" I see, you want to make sure that Ichigo's personal life isn't ruined ? " Tatsuki asked Kisuke.
" Bingo , we will make sure Ichigo's life intact while you rescue Orihime " Kisuke answered.
" What about Orihime's life ? Orihime has relatives that call her everyweek not to mention her friends " Tatsuki questioned the hat and clogs Shinigami.
" Glad you asked, that's why Kisuke made this for you guys ! " Yoruichi replied as she reveals a Gigal that looks just like Orihime.
" What is that ? " Tatsuki asked.
" This is going to be the decoy for Orihime while she's gone to take her place ! " Kisuke answered.
" So that's an artificial body ? " Tatsuki asked.
" It's known as a Gigai (義骸, faux body) . It's an artificial body that allows Shinigami to remain in the Human World and interact with Humans " Kisuke answered
" So that's how everyone in my school was able to see Rukia ? " Tatsuki stated.
" The reason that Rukia used a Gigai was because she lost her powers and couldn't get back to the Soul Society when she was injured in a hollow attack and she was forced to stay here for several months . Only a Shinigami with their powers can they return to Soul Society. However, while remaining the world of the living, they are targets for Hollows and so they choose to reside within a Gigai and begin to behave like Humans in order to blend in and avoid being hunted. Another reason is if it is required for their mission to interact with Humans or to reside among them in order to search for threats and to blend in while doing so " Kisuke explained to Tatsuki.
" So how do you get a body like that to work ? " Tatsuki asked Kisuke.
" Allow me to explain . That is known as the Gikon (義魂, Artificial Souls). We are souls designed by Shinigami scientists to separate a Shinigami's spirit from a Gigai, should they be inhabiting one, or to evict stubborn spirits from their corpses if necessary " Kon explained to Tatsuki.
" So that was your purpose all along ? " Tatsuki asked Kon while he's in Ichigo's body.
" Artificial souls are used by ingesting a Gikongan (義魂丸,Artificial Soul Pill). The pill forces the soul out of the body and allows the artificial soul to take control of it, operating in a pre-programmed manner until removed by the Shinigami. They can also be used on a body that has no soul, such as a corpse, or even an inanimate object, such as a stuffed animal. These artificial souls possess their own personalities, which can be specially designed to fit one's specifications " Kisuke explained to Tatsuki as he puts a mod soul into the doll.
" What's with this body ? I have such luscious big boobs " said the female modsoul.
" Ririn, how do you like your body ? " Kisuke asked her.
" Ririn ? " Kon shouted.
" What's going on, why am i in a Gigal of Orihime ? " Ririn asked Kisuke.
" It's simple, you would be taking the place of Orihime in day to day life " Kisuke replied.
" What ? Why me ? " Ririn asked.
" Why her ? " Kon shouted.
" Let me bring you up to speed , Ichigo would be training for a while to rescue Orihime. You need to pretend to be like Orihime and pretend to date Kon " Yoruichi explained to Ririn.
" No way in hell , i'm not going to pretend to like Kon " Ririn stated.
" Same here ! " Kon replied only to stopped by Kisuke.
" Kon, remember the promise i made for you ? " Kisuke asked as he shows him the Gigal he made.
" Uh yeah ! " Kon answered.
" Ririn, here's your bargain offer " Kisuke stated as he shows Ririn her own personal Gigal. The Gigai is a young woman who has long, scarlet hair and brown eyes. She has a slender boy with large breasts.
" Damn she's hot ! " Ririn shouted.
" Do as you told and you can have this body ! " Kisuke stated.
" Fine ,i will ! " Ririn replied.
" So what's my role in this ? " Tatsuki asked.
" You are to make sure that these two stay together and they act within character " Kisuke answered.
" I see ! " Tatsuki replied.
" It's best you get going before the bell rings " Yoruichi stated .
" Right ! " Kon and Ririn replied as they walk with Orihime to school.
" So now that's token care of, can i head to the Vizards ? " Ichigo asked.
" Sure thing ! " Kisuke answered.
Meanwhile at Las Noches
Construcción team begin working on reconstructing the dome with 500 Calaveras aiding the reconstruction effort.
" Let's being gentlemen ! " Suku Rapa chanted as he holds his sword.
" Dig Pala Trabajador ( Spanish for Shovel Worker) " Suka Benja chanted as he gains armor and his arm and his hands turn into excavator like shovels.
" Claw out Garra Trabajador ( Spanish for Claw Worker) " Obarodo chanted as gains red body armor. His legs turn into four crab-like robot legs and he gains four arms. Two are hooked like claws and the other two are robotic crab-like claws.
" Smash Camión de Auxilio Trabajador ( Spanish for Wrecker Worker) " Haitawa chanted as he gain body armor and his left arm turns into a large wrecking ball, while his right hand turn into a robotic hand.
" Stomp Down Martillo Neumático ( Spanish for Jackhammer) " Ranpeji chanted as his legs fuse together and take the form a jackhammer, while long and thick whips come out his wrist. He also gains a metal helmet and armor over his upper body too.
" Haul Camión Trabajador ( Spanish for Truck Worker) " Rongu Hauru chanted as he gains a large green armor framed body.
" Produce Químico Maestro (Spanish for Chemist Master) " Mikkusu Masuta chanted as he gains grey body armor. He also gains four metal shields, two on his shoulders and the other two on his wrist. He also gain a large cannon on his back.
" Reconstruct Trabajador de la Construcción ( Spanish for Construction Worker) " Suku Rappa chanted as he gains armor that cover his whole body. His left hand turns into a five-point claw hand that is connected to a chain, which his right hand turns into a rectangular-shape claw with a torch-light on the low part of the claw.
Meanwhile Pein stands at the sandlot with Skullak, Konan Grimmjow and Aizen there waiting to see Pein revive the Arrancars.
" This is the DNA remains of the Arrancars , you can use that to revive them " Aizen said to Pein.
" Very well then ! " Pein replied as he puts his hands in the air and summons a green orb around his hands.
" Begin the process ! " Aizen said to Pein.
" 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 which then forms into a gate known as the King of Hell and it opens up.
Pein watches as all of the bodies of Grimmjow's Fracción have been revitalized and restored to full health.
" My Fracción, they're really back ! " Grimmjow said to Skullak shocked to see then back.
" What the hell ? " Shawlong asked as he looks around to see the sandlot of Las Noches.
" This place looks like Las Noches ! " Yylfordt answered.
" This must be a flashback before we all die " Edrad stated.
" But how are we all having the same flashback ? " Di Roy asked.
" I don't know ! " Nakeem answered.
" Wait, i feel alive but how ! " Shawlong said to himself as he thinks to how he died.

Hitsugaya unleashes his limiter and goes full power.
" Gentei Kaijo ? " Shawlong stated with shock as Hitsugaya freezes Shawlong with just his Reiatsu.
" Gentei Kaijo(限定解除 Limit Release)... is something all Captains and Lieutenants wear here on earth. Captains and lieutenants who travel to the Human World have a seal placed on their powers, called a limiter so we don't create unnecessary ripples in the Human World. When a power limit is placed on a Captain or lieutenant, their symbol of there Squad appears on a certain part of their body until the limit is lifted, it puts an extreme restraint on our Reiatsu . Cutting us off up to 80% of our full power, in other words... .After breaking our limiter , our power level... Is 5 times greater !" Hitsugaya explained to Shawlong as Shawlong tires to shake the ice off his arm.
" SHIT ! " Shawlong shouted .
" It's over Shawlong Kūfang . Ryūsenka (竜霰花, Dragon Hail Flower) " Hitsugaya chanted as he lunges his sword forward.
" Retreat, Retreat ! " Shawlong shouted but then he sees Nakeem dead on the floor with cuts all over his body and his mask . Yylfordt to run away but is blasted by Renji.
Shawlong tires to flee moving at 1,833.3 ft/sec(1,250 MPH) But Hitsugaya dashes at 4693.3 ft/sec (3,200 MPH ), Hitsugaya easily catches up to him and stabs him, causing Shawlong to turn into a huge pillar of ice.
Present Day
" How is it that i'm alive ? I was clearly stabbed through the heart " Shawlong asked himself.
Yylfordt meanwhile looks around thinking to how he died in the past.

" What the hell ? " Yylfordt replied looking at his burned left face and horns.
" Gentei Kaijo(限定解除 Limit Release)... is something all Captains and Lieutenants wear here on earth. Captains and lieutenants who travel to the Human World have a seal placed on their powers, called a limiter so we don't create unnecessary ripples in the Human World.

Cutting us off up to 80% of our full power, in other words... .After breaking our limiter , our power level... Is 5 times greater !" Renji explained to Yylfordt as he uses his Bankai to easily overpower Yylfordt , the Arrancar manages to block the attack by grabbing its jaws but is pushed back and loses his left arm in the process.
" FUCK ! " Yylfordt shouted.
" Hikōtsu Taihō (狒骨大砲, Baboon Bone Cannon) " Renji chanted as Hihiō Zabimaru fires a dense blast of concentrated spiritual energy from it's mouth. The blast completely obliterates Yylfordt entirely.
Present Day
" Damn it i can still feel the burns on my body , how am i alive ? " Yylfordt said to himself.
Meanwhile Nakeem remembers how he died.
3 weeks ago
Meanwhile Nakeem notices that Rangiku is still breathing. Nakeem comes towards her to finish her.
" You're still breathing ? " Nakeem said to Rangiku looks at the busty ginger with a stoic look on his face as he comes at Rangiku and is about to step on her but the busty Shinigami gets a call from Akon.
" Sorry Lieutenant Matsumoto, we had a bigger emergency in the Soul Society, you are hereby authorize to use full force " Akon said to Rangiku as she easily blocks Nakeem's foot with her right forearm while talking to Akon.
" Thanks , a second later and we would be all dead " Rangiku replied as she calms down .
" Huh ? " Nakeem asked with a dumb look on his face.
" We've got permission to break the restriction ! " Rangiku stated with a comforting tone in her voice.
" What's going on here ? " Nakeem asked.
" Gentei Kaijo " Rangiku shouted as she prepares fight Nakeem.
" What is that ? " Nakeem asked shocked to see Rangiku using her full power.
" Gentei Kaijo(限定解除 Limit Release)... is something all Captains and Lieutenants wear here on earth. Captains and lieutenants who travel to the Human World have a seal placed on their powers, called a limiter so we don't create unnecessary ripples in the Human World.

Cutting us off up to 80% of our full power, in other words... .After breaking our limiter , our power level... Is 5 times greater ! " Rangiku explained to Nakeem.
Nakeem attempts to punch Rangiku but she simply blocks it with her forearm.
" You're too slow, when you arrived you showed great speed, what was that technique ? " Rangiku asked as Nakeem then disappears and reappears behind her
" It's called Sonído ! " Nakeem answered as he launches an attack at her moving at 366.7 ft/sec ( 250 MPH) but before he can land a hit she disappears and reappears behind him and moves at 586.7 ft/sec (400 MPH).
" We Shinigami have a similar technique called Shunpo (瞬歩,Flashstep)" Rangiku answered as she slashes him across the back before he can react.
" ARRGGH ! " Nakeem shouted as he struggles to withstand the wound.
" Here's another name for you Growl Haineko (灰猫, Ash Cat) " Rangiku chanted as she releases her Shikai and that was the last thing he remembers seeing.
Present Day
Edard meanwhile recalls how he died in battle.
3 weeks ago
Edrad was dominating Ikkaku and was winning his battle and was going to finish off the bald-headed 3rd seat.
" You fought well. Even trying to fight after the brutal beating you just took is a testament of your fighting spirit however your body has reached it's limit " Edrad said to Ikkaku as he punches the ground where Ikkaku is at.
" I'm not done yet . I suppose by now everyone else is already too busy with their own enemies. In that case,then they shouldn't be able to notice this " Ikkaku said to Edrad as it's revealed Ikkaku blocked his punch using his broken Shikai.
" What the hell are you bragging about ? " Edarad asked.
" Better watch closely and don't tell a fucking soul Bankai: Ryūmon Hōzukimaru (龍紋鬼灯丸, Dragon Crest Demon Light) " Ikkaku stated as his body glows with red Reiatsu. A massive 200 foot energy tornado forms after the release of the Bankai with red lightning surging around the battlefield.
" Bankai ? " Edrad asked shocked to see the massive increase of Reiatsu.
" Yep this is my Bankai ! " Ikkaku answered as he goes for the attack. Both of the clash attacks however Ikkaku manages to slice through Edrad's Hierro.
" Impossible ... he cut through my Volcanica ! " Edrad said to himself as Ikkaku slashes another arm with his Bankai.
" Not bad, that Hierro is tough if i can't easily butcher it ! " Ikkaku said to Edrad.
" What power! His Bankai doesn't increase speed or defensive abilities nor does it give him Kidō powers. All that Bankai is just a mass of raw power . I can beat him, i just need to increase my Reiatsu to make myself stronger than him but it seems like his power is rising " Edrad said to himself only to see Ikkaku spinning his Bankai.
" Unlike me Zanpakutō is actually very lazy in battle , i would need to wake him up " Ikkaku explained to Edard as he completely fills the crest on his Bankai.
" Let's do this ! " Edrad shouted as he dashes towards Ikkaku.
" Let's see who's really stronger ! " Ikkaku replied as they both clash attacks .
The smoke clears up to reveal Ikkaku has fallen however Edrad looks at his injuries and sees he suffered terminal injuries. His liver and intensities are gone due to the massive gash through his right half of his torso.
" Ikkaku Madarame... I'm glad i hear your name ! " Edrad said to Ikkaku as his final words.
Present Day
Di Roy meanwhile tires to think back to his past.
3 weeks ago
" Arrancar #16 Di Roy Linker at your service ! " Di Roy said to Rukia while holding back her sword with his barehand.
" I'm Ru... " Rukia answered only to be interrupted by Di Roy.
" Can it, if i were to hear all the Shinigami who i've killed, i would've never went anywhere " Di Roy arrogantly stated as he comes after her.
" I see ,then allow me to make this short then Dance Sode no Shirayuki (袖白雪, Sleeved White Snow) " Rukia said as she holds her Zanpakutō out in front of her and turns it in a circle counter-clockwise. While she is turning it, the blade, hilt and tsuba turn completely white. The tsuba becomes a hollow snowflake-like circle and a white ribbon forms from the pommel. Di Roy dodges the burst of Reiatsu.
" What is that sudden increase in power ? " Di Roy said to himself.
" Some no mai, Tsukishiro (初の舞・月白, First Dance, White Moon) " Rukia chanted as she holds her Zanpakutō upside down. The blade glows as she goes for a horizontal slash . Di Roy barely dodges the blade by a foot as he is surrounded by a 10 foot diameter ice ring. Di Roy's legs are frozen by the ring. Di Roy breaks the circle with a punch and jumps up into the air.
" Tough luck, Shinigami. A sword that freezes the ground can't hit some in the sky " Di Roy arrogantly taunted he stands 100 feet high upside down using Chakra to stick her on the wall.
" Not quite ! " Rukia replied as the ice covers Di Roy's body.
" What ? " Di Roy shouted as his body is covered with layers of ice.
" Sode no Shirayuki (袖白雪, Sleeved White Snow) doesn't simply freeze the ground. Everything within this circle both earth and sky is within Sode Shriayuki's range" Rukia explained to Di Roy as if that was the last thing he remembers before dying.
Present Day
" Why aren't i dead ? " Di Roy asked .
" Welcome back , my dear Arrancara " Aizen said to the group.
" What's going on Lord Aizen ? Why are we alive ? All i remember was being stabbed by a Captain and now i'm back " Shawlong asked Aizen.
" Hey guys ! " Skullak said to the recently revived Arrancars.
" What's going on here ? " Edrad asked.
" When did you return ? " Yylfordt asked.
" Relax men, it's best i explain that to you guys later. First let's get some food " Skullak answered.
" Sounds good to me ! " Nakeem replied.
" You guys go right along ! " Aizen stated as he sees his group leave here .
" The deeds are done ! " Pein said to Aizen.
" I have 3 more requests regarding the special hollows " Aizen said to Pein.
" Very well then ! " Pein replied.
Karakura Highschool

" Orihime ! " Uryū said to himself shocked to see her.
" How can she be back here ? Did Ichigo succeed in rescuing her ? " Chad said to himself.
" Orihime , you're back ! " Chizuru shouted as she jumps at Ririn from behind and gropes her boobs.
" Hands off me bitch ! " Ririn shouted as she smacks Chizuru down to the floor and jumps on top of and is about to punch Chizuru but Tatsuki stops her.
" What the hell are you doing ? " Tatsuki asked Orihime.
" She grabbed my boobs! " Ririn shouted.
" Orihime is a nonviolent person, she doesn't punch people " Tatsuki whispered into Ririn's head.
" Sorry about that ! " Ririn replied whispering.
" Orihime , where were you yesterday ? " Miasto asked.
" Sick teacher ! " Ririn answered.
" Fine, you two have a seat over there " Miasto said to the two as they sit next to Chad and Uryū.
" Orihime is that you ? " Uryū asked Ririn.
" It's me Ririn ! " Ririn answered.
" What are you doing disguised as Orihime ? " Chad asked .
" It's to make sure Orihime's life isn't affected by her kidnapping " Kon answered.
" I see , still what do you think is going on with Orihime ? " Uryū asked them.
At the same time
8:00 A.M.
Orihime wakes up in bed within the Akatsuki Hideout within an undisclosed location. Orihime looks at her hairpins and see that they're black again.
" My hairpins are black. I must of overdid it with the healing not to mention that attack me and Ichigo did " Orihime said to herself only to see Tobi there.
" Well it seems like you're awake at last Orihime " Tobi said to the orange haired girl.
" You again ? First i'm stuck in Aizen's cell and now yours . Just who are you ? " Orihime asked the mask man.
" I'm like you , i wish to change this world for the better " Tobi answered.
" Don't give me that nonsense. I might not be the smartest be even i know that's a lie . You attacked Karakura Town, you put my friends in danger and you guys kidnap me and worse yet, you tried to kill Ichigo and are trying to take over the world " Orihime explained to Madara.
" Do you know why i wish to take over your world ? " Tobi asked Orihime .
" Why ? " Orihime answered with a question.
" It's to bring peace to this world . A peace where no one is fighting anymore , a peace where they're isn't any sadness or despair " Tobi explained to Orihime.
" What are you talking about ? Do you think peace can be achieved by valence ? That defeats the purpose of peace. What you're trying to do is take it over by brute force " Orihime stated.
" Do you realize what kind of world that you live in ? Look around you, this world is beyond despair . Perhaps you and i should talk more about the Eye of the Moon " Tobi replied.
" Eye of the Moon ? " Orihime asked.
" It's my plan to create a new world, put an end to all the ills in the world " Tobi answered.
Meanwhile at Las Noches
Construcción team begin working on reconstructing the dome with 500 Calaveras aiding the reconstruction effort.
After finishing breakfast and explaining how all of them are alive again. Shawlong and his friends are shocked at what they heard
" A mere human reviving us ? " Shawlong asked baffled at then thought of coming back to life.
" How is that possible ? " Yylfordt asked.
" It happened with everyone within this base. Yesterday the Vizards came through and raided the place again " Skullak explained to the group.
" So Las Noches was invaded again by those Pesudo Arrancars ? " Di Roy asked.
" Yep and then this leader of another organization rivaling Aizen in power decided to revive all the fallen Arrancars " Skullak explained to them.
" Why were we revived here ? We died within Karakura Town ! " Shawlong asked.
" Szayel had DNA samples of you, we basically laid it out and with the justu he used, he reanimated you all back to life " Skullak answered.
" What an insane amount of power for one human to have over us " Edrad stated.
" I know, it's quite shocking ! " Nakeem replied.
" Either way we were wondering if we can resume being Grimmjow's Fracción " Shawlong asked Skullak.
" You know Grimmjow, you guys would need to redeem yourselves . After all you have been revived , i talked to Grimmjow earlier and he said that unless you guys prove your worth, you can't be his Fracción" Skullak answered.
" So what do we do meanwhile ? " Yylfordt asked.
" You guys would be serving under me temporarily until you get strong enough to be Grimmjow's Fracción " Skullak answered.
Konoha
9:00 A.M. Naruto and Hinata leave to mount Myōboku through the ruins of the Main Gate with their friends behind them. Kiba, Neji, Shino, Ino, Konohamaru,Shikamaru, Chōji , Kurenai ,Shizune ,Anko ,Kakashi ,Tenten , Yamato, Lee , Gai, Sakura ,Sai , Iruka and Ebisu and Tsunade.
" Looks like you're leaving the village " Sakura said to Naruto.
" Yeah i'm going to get stronger and beat the Soul Society ! " Naruto replied.
" Good luck with that Naruto, you can do it " Kiba stated.
" Hinata , we have faith in you to get stronger !" Shino replied.
" Don't give up you guys. We're going to all train to get stronger " Ino said to the two.
" Good luck getting stronger as well " Hinata replied.
" We promise to all get stronger we you return " Chōji said to the group.
" And we'll make sure to help you defeat the Soul Society " Tenten replied.
" We'll train with the power of youth ! " Lee stated.
" And we won't stop until our bodies can't take it anymore " Gai replied.
" So how's the portal to the Soul Society going along ? " Naruto asked.
" The portal is going fine Naruto. We'll let you know when we can break into the Soul Society, that's when we attack the Soul Society " Tsunade stated.
" So far it's going to take 3 more days to complete it " Shizune explained to Naruto.
" We also need to test whether this portal works or not and whether it can travel to the Soul Society " Yamato stated .
" It could all be a trap for all we know but we won't know until we try " Anko replied.
" It seems legit so far , everything is going well with the construction of the portal " Kakashi said to Naruto.
" Good luck with the training guys ! " Sakura said to Naruto as she hugs him
" We look forward to seeing you get stronger " Sai replied.
" Naruto, don't let us down ! " Ebisu said to the young Genin.
" You're the hope of the village ! " Iruka replied.
" Naruto, good luck you two " Konohamaru said to Naruto.
" Konohamaru , i want you to take this " Naruto said to Konohamaru as he hands him prayer beads .
" What's this ? " Konohamaru asked.
" It's a power restraining bracelet that Jiraiya Sensei put on me. It 's a Four Limbs Weighting Seal " Naruto answered .
" So how does it work ? " Konohamaru asked.
" It's primary use is seemingly for training in a style similar to Might Guy and Rock Lee. It increases the weight to your body by 10 times and restricts your Chakra by that same amount. The prayer beads change color from white to blue, green, yellow and finally to red. Once they're red, this signifies that the training is complete " Naruto explained to Konohamaru.
" So please explain how the colors work ? " Konohamaru stated.
" When the beads are white , that means you're power hasn't increased. The weights also stay at 10 G's , 10 times the gravity of the planet earth and it maintains the same Chakra flow. When it turns blue, that means your power has doubled over your natural strength , when it turns green, your power has quadrupled, when it turns yellow your power would be 5 times greater and when it finally turns red, your power would've gone up by 10 times " Naruto explained to Konohamaru.
" Cool how strong would i be if i were to remove these beads ? " Konohamaru asked.
" Your power would increase by 100 times . By fusing the increased strength you gained with the Chakra you suppressed, that power would fuse together and you'll be a much stronger fighter . This is the type of training i did to become much stronger and it took me 3 years to gain this level. I have confidence with your talent that it should take at least 3 months to gain such a power boost " Naruto explained to Konohamaru.
" Ha, wanna bet i master this in a month ? " Konohamaru asked Naruto.
" You're giving yourself too much credit there Konohamaru " Naruto answered.
" Now let's head out to Mount Myōboku ! " Naruto said to Hinata as he rushes out with Hinata.
" Wait a second Naruto . Where's Mount Myōboku ? " Hinata asked Naruto.
" Oh right , Grandma Tsunade , where's Mount Myōboku by the way ? " Naruto asked the Hokage only for Fukasaku and Shima to appear.
" It would take over a month to reach there on foot " Fukasaku said to Naruto.
" One month ? " Naruto asked shocked to hear the news.
" Why one month ? " Hinata asked .
" It's called the mountain of wandering. If you don't know the secret route , if you don't know the secret route , it's impossible to find " Fukasaku explained to Naruto .
" An entire month , that's ridiculous . How far is that ? It takes 3 days to cross Sunakagure which is 600 miles away , it's physically impossible to have a months travel to a mountain " Hinata explained to the toads.
" Luckily for you, you made a pact with Gamabunta , no need to worry " Fukasaku said to the group.
" With that , we can reach there in a second " Shima stated.
" Naruto grab Hinata and hold on to her " Fukasaku said to Naruto.
" Right ! " Naruto replied as he hugs Hinata.
" Why did you ask to hug Naruto ? " Hinata asked.
" Reverse Summoning Justu " Shima chanted as she teleports herself, Naruto and Hinata away.
" Where did they go ? " Sakura asked.
" It's a reverse summoning justu, they went back where they came from " Tsunade answered.
" It's time for us to go ! " Fukasaku replied as he teleports to the mountain.
" Alright us, we all need to get stronger and finish constructing this portal to the Soul Society. Once Naruto completes his Sage Mode training, we would strike the Soul Society with the completed portal and with the Shinobi Alliance crush the Shinigami for good " Tsunade commanded everyone.
" Right ! " everyone replied as they all leave to the village to get stronger.
" Naruto , you really are the Child of Prophecy that Jiraiya searched his entire life for however i wonder how much stronger is that Hailbringer of Destruction becoming ? It seems like the day of Judgement is near . Naruto, you must defeat the Haibringer of Destruction, Ichigo Kurosaki " Tsunade said to herself as she looks at the sky.
Vizard Hideout
9:00 A.M. Ichigo arrives at the training field where the Vizards await for him. Ichigo is already in his Bankai form.
" Mornin ' Ichigo. Nice day we're havin' ? " Shinji asked Ichigo.
" Hey Shinji , let's get this over and done with " Ichigo replied as he stands with his Bankai.
" Looks like he's already prepared to train ! " Love stated.
" I fucked up big time , it was because i was stupid and weak that i couldn't save Orihime . I'm going to keep training until my body can't take it and even then i'm not going to stop training until i die trying " Ichigo explained to the Vizards as stands there.
" You almost got us killed ! " Hiyori shouted.
" You can't blame Ichigo entirely , he was trying to save his friend, his lover. I can't blame him for that " Hachigen explained to Hiyori.
" It was still stupid of him to do " Kensei stated.
" Indeed but admit it , we've would've all done the same if either of us was kidnapped " Lisa replied.
" I know Kensei would save me , he loves me right Kensei ? " Mashiro asked her former Captain hugging him towards her boobs.
" Love, when we're we lovers ? " Kensei answered with a question.
" Remember the time you groped me ? You're a real pervert Kensei " Mashiro stated.
" Shut up, i never did that ! " Kensei replied.
" Enough talk, i want to get stronger ! " Ichigo shouted .
" Very well then . Kensei spar with him , let's see how well he does with your secret form " Shinji said to Kensei.
" Very well then ! " Kensei replied as he draws out his sealed Zanpakutō.
" A sparring match ? You already know how strong i am, why waste time here. I already know my limits, i know that you , Kensei, Rose and Love are much stronger than me so why have a sparring match ? " Ichigo asked Shinji.
" Shut up and let's do this Ichigo. Come at me with everything you got " Kensei replied as he puts on his mask and clashes with Ichigo's sword but Ichigo uses his Hollow Mask to enhance his Bankai to block the strike.
" If i have to spar with you to move on to the next step of training then so be it " Ichigo said to Kensei as he pushes back Kensei's blade.
Mount Myōboku
9:01 A.M. 5 seconds after leaving Konoha, Naruto and Hinata arrive together at Mount Myōboku. Mount Myōboku is a rich and beautiful land with leaves as high as 30 feet high as well as mushrooms 50 feet high.
" These leaves and mushrooms, there so big " Naruto said to Hinata.
" I know , everything here seems so large ! " Hinata replied.
" I summoned you two here , this is Mount Myōboku " Fukasaku stated.
" So let's get straight to the training " Naruto said to the elder toads.
" Hold on Naruto, we must first test if you have the power to handle the training " Fukasaku responded.
" What do you mean ? " Naruto asked.
" You're going to spar with some Captains " Fukasaku replied.
" What are you talking about ? " Naruto asked.
" We're going to test the level of your power with this . Come Byakuya , Soifon " Shima said to Naruto as the two Captains arrive to fight Naruto.
" What the ? What's going on ? " Naruto asked.
" Don't worry Naruto, these guys aren't real Captains. They're powerful Senjutsu clones created by Shima's Sage Mode " Fukasaku answered.
" But how did you guys know how they look like ? " Naruto asked them.
" We read your mind Naruto while you were under surgery and we prepared these clones to fight you and test your might. They each have the same level of power and skill as well as special ability " Fukasaku explained to Naruto.
" You guys can do that ? " Naruto asked.
" What about me ? Who do i train against ? " Hinata asked the toads.
" This would be your opponent ! " Shima answered as a toad appears to fight her.
The toad is a very large toad, he has orange skin covered in blue markings, he has bandages wrapped around his body and left foreleg, and wears a necklace with seven large beads on it, with the kanji for "loyalty" (忠, chū) on the central, largest one. He has three swirl-like marking in the middle of his left palm which are similar to the one's sometimes portrayed in Jiraiya's. He's wearing samurai armour, composed of a plate cuirass and arm-guards paired with traditional samurai pauldrons.
" Who are you ? " Hinata asked .
" I'm Gama, a master martial artist and one of the strongest fighters within Mount Myōboku " Gama answered as he stands up and gets into a karate stance.
" I guess i have to prove my worth to you then ! " Hinata stated.
" Let's test the limits of your martial arts ! " Gama replied.
Meanwhile Naruto prepares to fight the powerful clones .
" Bankai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (千本桜景厳, Vibrant Display of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms)" Fake Byakuya chanted as he scatters the blades into millions of fragments.
" Sting all Enemies to DeathSuzumebachi (雀蜂Hornet) " Fake Soifon chanted as she releases her Shikai.
" I guess i have no choice but to fight these guys ! " Naruto replied as he releases a large wave of Charka.
At the same time
Las Noches
9:01 A.M. Sasuke walks to the Palace of Las Noches and sees the palace within ruins. The middle of the palace has been cut in half with a 660 foot wide and 12 mile long fissure.
" What the hell happened here ? " Sasuke said to himself as he walks around the palace.
Sasuke walks around the Sandlot of Las Noches where he stares at 3,000 foot diameter hole at the skydome of Las Noches and the 10 foot diameter hole 4 miles west where a massive 1 mile diameter , 1,500 foot deep crater lies where Yammy was once at. Sasuke then see Aizen appear with Shunpo.
" Sasuke, looks like you returned ! " Aizen said to the Uchiha survivor.
" What the hell happened here ? " Sasuke asked Aizen calmly.
" We had a minor setback , some guerrilla force tried to attack here but we dealt with them but that's not important right now .We need you to get something for us " Aizen answered.
" I want to train to get stronger ! " Sasuke stated.
" You're already become stronger however if you really want to get more powerful, then you would do as i say " Aizen replied.
" Fine, what can i do for you ? " Sasuke asked.
" Come with me to the lab , we have alot to talk about " Aizen answered as he walks Sasuke to the lab.
Meanwhile at the Vizard Training Ground
5 minutes have passed since Kensei and Ichigo clashed blades with each other.
" When do i begin my training ? " Ichigo asked Kensei as his mask shatters.
" Put that mask back on ! " Kensei answered.
" But i reached my limit ! " Ichigo stated.
" That's what you think. Sure a mask has a time limit however a Vizard can use it aset number of times before becoming completely exhausted. Rose and Love are capable of using there mask 15 times despite having a 3 minute time limit per use " Kensei explained to Ichigo.
" So you're saying i can simultaneously use my mask again and again ? " Ichigo asked Kensei.
" Yes but each time it's used, it puts a strain on your body. If you overuse it, you'll end up rendering yourself useless in battle. Overdo it even further past your limit and not only would you die but your corpse would be token over by your Hollow " Kensei explained to Ichigo.
" I see, you want to test out how long i can hold my mask huh ? I guess this is part of my training . Very well then , bring it on " Ichigo stated as he puts back on his mask.
" That's the spirit, i guess i'll fight you this time without the mask ! " Kensei replied.
" What do you men by that ? " Ichigo asked.
" I can't push you that far to your limits with just a sealed Zanpakutō can i and using Shikai and Hollow Mask " Kensei answered.
" We ll i wouldn't want it any other way " Ichigo replied as he comes at Kensei.
" Blast Away Tachikaze ( 断風 Severing Wind ) " Kensei chanted as he uses his Shikai without his Hollow Mask.
Meanwhile at Mount Myōboku
Naruto is fighting Senjustu clones of Byakuya and Soifon in battle and is struggling against them.
" You can't escape my Senbonzakura Kageyoshi " Fake Byakuya stated as he sends 6 tendrils right at Naruto but Naruto dodges the attack.
" Rasengan " Naruto chanted as he's about to hit the Byakuya clone with Rasengan.
" Kūgun Yashi (空軍ヤシForce Palm) " Fake Soifon chanted as she strikes Naruto in the chest with her left hand and sends him flying 300 feet away into a pile of rocks.
" Now time for the finishing blow ! " Fake Byakuya said to Naruto as he shoots a tendril through Naruto but it was a clone.
" Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu (多重影分身の術 Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu) " Naruto chanted as he summons 100 clones of himself to attack, all of them dashing at 6416.7 ft/sec(4,375 MPH) that all attack Byakuya.
" Way of Onmitsu, 2nd of the Shihō Riarutai Kopīga (リアルReal Body Copy ) " Fake Soifon countered as she creates 15 clones of herself .
After a minute of fighting each others clones. Naruto is left with Soifon and her clone. Soifon goes to sting Naruto but Naruto has a clone hold her feet.
" I got you know ! " Naruto said to Soifon as he goes to attack her with Rasengan.
" Ōdama Rasengan( 大玉螺旋丸Great Ball Spiralling Sphere) " Fake Naruto chanted he carries a Rasengan 3 times larger than normal and directly hits Soifon with the explosive blast.
" Gōkei (吭景, Pivotal Scene) " Byakuya chanted as he surrounds Naruto in a 30 foot diameter dome of blade fragments.
" I don't remember this attack ! " Naruto stated as he sees himself surrounded by fragments.
" It's impossible to break out of Gōkei . Gōkei (吭景, Pivotal Scene) creates a spherical formation of over 100 million tiny blade fragments, which swirl around the opponent like a cloud. It then flies into them from every possible angle, leaving no blind spots and no possibility to escape. It then collapses on itself, obliterating the opponent " Byakuya explained to Naruto as he opens up for Soifon to attack Naruto.
" Hopefully you're familiar with this Suzumebachi Sasumahi (スズメバチ刺すマヒ Hornet Stinging Paralysis) " Fake Soifon chanted as she stings Naruto trapping him in place with a red Homoka growing all over his body.
" Damn it, i can't escape ! " Naruto shouted as he struggles to move.
" Scatter Gōkei , Senbonzakura Kageyoshi "Fake Byakuya chanted as he creates an implosion with all the blade fragments hitting Naruto and then he creates a massive explosion .
Meanwhile the elder toads watch the fight between Naruto and the clones they made from Senjustu.
" Looks like Naruto boy isn't quite as strong as we hoped him to be " Fukasaku said to Shima .
" Indeed, maybe two Jōunin level Shinigami were too much for him after all " Shima replied only to see the clones failed to hit the real Naruto.
" Multi Shadow Clone Rasengan " Naruto chanted as 20 clones hit both the Byakuya and Soifon clones with full force knocking them both into the ground from the force of the Rasengans.
" Damn it ! " Fake Soifon said to Fake Byakuya.
" This is bad ! " Fake Byakuya replied as they both lie next to each other.
" Double Ōdama Rasengan( 大玉螺旋丸Great Ball Spiralling Sphere) " Naruto chanted he carries two Rasengans 3 times larger than normal in both hands and smashed both clones to the ground.
" Looks like Naruto boy is doing better than we expected " Fukasaku said to Shima.
" Indeed, Naruto boy is very strong ! " Shima replied.
" You might want to increase them to full power ! " Fukasaku stated.
" Right ! " Shima replied as she puts up a handsgin to increase the power of the clones.
The clones gets back up and go to increase his power.
" Bankai: Senkei , Senbonzakura Kageyoshi(殲景,千本桜景厳, Vibrant Display of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms,Slaughterscape; ) " Byakuya chanted as he gathers energy created by his blood, which glows and turns into spiritual energy, mixing with the tiny blades of his Bankai. This unites the scattered petals into complete glowing swords, numbering in the thousands, that form four rows. These rows float just above the other, and circle around Byakuya and Kurenai in a continuously moving, column-like array.
" Shunkō ( 瞬閧, Flash Cry ) " Soifon chanted as her Captain's robe is shredded by the force of the Reiatsu as her body is surrounded with a massive white Reiatsu. Soifon is right in front of him wearing a sleeveless one piece commander outfit with her back as well small portions of the sides of her breasts and thighs exposed including the small G-string like panties she wears.
" Looks like they're going to get serious ! " Naruto replied as he unleashes his full power.
Meanwhile Hinata clashes her Gentle fist with Gama who blocks her blows easily.
" He's strong, he hasn't even flinched from my blows " Hinata said to Gama.
" Come on human. don't tell me that's all you got " Gama said to Hinata as Hinata struggles to get back up.
" It's not over yet Hakke Sutorīmu Yashiha (八卦ストリームのヤシ波Eight Trigrams Stream Palm Wave) " Hinata chanted as she then rotates her hands and creates a powerful widening blast of chakra towards Gama but he easily blocks it with one hand.
" Sorry human but that's not going to work ! " Gama replied as he punches Hinata in the stomach and send Hinata flying into a pile of rocks.
" He's strong, is this the limit that i need to surpass ? " Hinata said to herself as she stands there.
Meanwhile Las Noches
Sasuke and Aizen walk into Shokku's lab. His lab seems less creepy then Szayel's old lab but still look frightening with the equipment like buzz saws, drills, and other tools that he use for his work. Like Szayel, Shokku had his own computer with he keep his notes, records, and journal logs. Shokku has his own helpers, which are robotic drones the help with working on his experiment or projects. The Zánganos (drones) have limited intelligence and are only program to severe Shokku and help him out .
" Are the preparations complete ? " Aizen asked Sokku .
" Yep, if the experiment works well, then we can begin the boosting up of the strength of all Espadas " Sokku answered.
" So what's my job ? " Sasuke asked .
" You are to find and recruit powerful fighters in your team and have them take on these newly revived Arrancars. Once you're done with that, i want you to find one of Orochimaru's lairs and bring me the curse mark formula and some DNA samples " Aizen explained to Sasuke.
" Where are these powerful Arrancars ? " Sasuke asked.
" They're right here ! " Aizen answered as he shows Sasuke his three Arrancars.
One of them a shapely fine woman with facial features resembling Chizuru with mask remains around her eyes resembling glasses. She has purple dreadlocks on her head, resembling tentacles and has fairly large boobs. Another Arrancar is a large 9 foot tail skinny Arrancar that is almost as skinny as Ninorta but two and a half feet taller than the 5th espada . He has brown hair on the sides and a purple mohawk. He has a hollow hole on his stomach and mask remains on his right eye area and the last one is a large 8 foot Arrancar with a hollow mask over his eyes resembling a guardian lion with dark 'S' markings and gray skin. He has a hollow hole on his chest and mask remains on his forehead . He has long yellow hair resembling a lions mane.
" So they're going to aid me on my mission ? " Sasuke asked.
" Yes , find Orochimaru's most powerful men and have these guys test them out . Bring them back alive " Aizen said to Sasuke.
" Right ! " Sasuke replied.
" Wait a second, we're not obeying a human " said the skinny Arrancar.
" Us Arrancars are far above humans ! " the female Arrancar replied.
" You can't beat us puny human ! " said the muscular Arrancar .
" You Arrancars make up your lack of intelligence and strength for arrogance " Sasuke said to the Arrancars.
" What was that ? " the brute shouted.
" We'll tear you apart human " the skinny Arrancar answered.
" Guys no fighting in the lab " Shokku said to everyone.
" Obey me ! " Sasuke replied as he uses a bit of his Reiatsu to put all of the Arrancars on their knees.
" How can a human have this much Reiatsu ? " said the skinny guy.
" He's stronger than all of us ! " the big guy answered.
" Who are you ? " the female Arrancar asked.
" My name is Sasuke Uchiha , your master . What are you're names ? " Sasuke asked the Arrancars.
" My name is Arrancar #82 Hexapodus " said the skinny Arrancar.
" My name is Arrancar #80 Numb Chandelier " said the female Arrancar.
" My name is Arrancar #81 Bulbous G " said the muscular Arrancar.
" Very well then , come with me " Sasuke said to the Hollows as they all walk with Sasuke to go into a portal to the Shinobi world.
" This is the first time in years that we managed to turn normal hollows into prefect Arrancars " Sokku said to Aizen.
" That drug you developed from the Vizard's own DNA helped prefect these normal hollows into prefect Fracción level Arrancars. Each of the Hollows Sasuke have used to be normal Hollows however thanks to the power of your drug, they're power is several hundred times that of a normal Hollow " Aizen explained to Shokku.
" Still trusting him by himself isn't that smart " Shokku stated.
" Don't worry ,i've arranged someone to look after him ! " Aizen replied.
Soul Society,2nd Division barracks
9:30 A.M. Soifon returns to work in her office with her legs fully recovered and with her Captains robe on . Soifon goes to see how her new Vice Captain Ibiki is doing with Yoruichi there with her.
" You're okay Ibiki ? " Soifon asked her Vice Captain.
" It's nothing. It's that i failed you and i failed the mission " Ibiki answered.
" Don't sweat it, Yoruichi told me everything you did there. You did a good job , the outcome was inevitable sadly and not even the best of us could of foreseen what would happen " Soifon stated.
" Still , i saw how Ichigo was. He really wanted to save Orihime and i kinda let him down in a way. I just wish i was stronger so we could've succeeded " Ibiki stated.
" Stronger ? That words seems to be popular nowadays . Everyone seems to be taking the time to train around here so how about you two train with each other " Yoruichi said to the two of them.
" Right ! " both Soifon and Ibiki replied as they're both going to leave the area when they get a message.
" We got bad news to report ! " said one of the messengers.
" What is it ? " Soifon asked.
" We got report that 20th seat Omaeda and the 10 men assigned to protect the Kasumiōji clan were found dead earlier today " one of the ninjas answered.
" What ? This is bad ! Omaeda might of been worthless as a Vice Captain but he was at least a half decent seated officer, who the hell could've killed him off ? " Soifon asked shocked to hear the news.
" Was there any casualties within the clan manor ? " Yoruichi asked.
" No one in the royal family was killed off , it seems like the assassins did attempt to kill the princess but they got the wrong building and instead attacked the patrol team while they were within the woods " the messenger explained to them.
" Impossible , you don't think that ... " Soifon asked only for Yoruichi to intervene.
" Unlikely, the Shinobi would be out to take down the Soul Society. I doubt they're interested in petty little clans " Yoruichi replied.
" Still, the princess is in danger. We must inform Yamamoto of the crisis " Soifon said to Yoruichi.
" The training would have to wait until later ! " Yoruichi replied as she heads out with Soifon.
Meanwhile within Squad 4 barracks
Unohana and Isane look at the dead body of Omaeda and 10 other Shingimai.
" Omaeda has been killed off " Unohana said to Isane.
" Who could've done this ? " Isane asked.
" The killers must of been skilled enough to take out all of them by himself " Unohana stated.
" All of them was killed by just one man ? " Isane replied.
" They we're all cut down by the same blade " Unohana said to Isane .
" What are we up against ? " Isane asked.
" I don't know but there must be a group that's out to topple the Soul Society from within " Unohana answered.
Meanwhile at Las Noches
Aizen has gathered several Arrancars at the outside of the mega building . Skullak, Cirucci, Menoly, Loly ,Demoura ,Aisslinger, Grimmjow, Nnoitra, Tesla,Yammy, Dordoni, Fran, Gantenbainne, and Aaroniero are gathered outside with Aizen and his group.
" We need to strengthen the power of the Arrancar army. We need to find powerful hollows to make into Arrancars and expand the size of the Arrancar race " Aizen said to the Arrancars.
" All of you would be split into teams and have to search the area you been designated within " Gin stated.
" Who would be on a team with who ?" Ninorta asked.
" That's a good question, luckily i have assigned you all into teams . Team 1 is Skullak, Cirucci, and their fraccion. Team 2 is Grimmjow, Nnoitra, Tesla, and Yammy. Team 3 is Dordoni, Fran, Gantenbainne, and Aaroniero "Aizen said to the Arrancars.
" Why the hell do i have to be in Grimmjow's team ? " Ninorta asked.
" Hey i don't want anything to with you either " Grimmjow answered.
" I don't care, as long as i can take my anger on some hollows for what happened yesterday, i'm good working with you two " Telsa stated.
" You have a point. Skullak's team is going to fail. He has mostly women and women can't fight " Ninorta taunted.
" Shut the fuck up Ninorta ! " Cirucci shouted.
" Hahahaha, you bitches belong in the ... " Ninorta arrogantly taunted only for Skullak to stab his sword through his eyepatch and hollow hole.
" Way to go Skullak, put that bastard in his place " Loly shouted.
" Take his head off ! " Menoly replied.
" I warn you , i'm not in a very good mood. You should count yourself lucky that your still alive, if you were still dead Grimmjow and Dordoni can move up one rank and Gantenbainne can take his place a 7th again. Grimmjow would love to be the 5th so he would be one step close to be stronger the Ulquiorra, face it Ninorta, i can kill you right now if i choose to " Skullak explained to Ninorta as he removes his sword and scrapes his blade on Ninorta's left upper cheek causing a small cut.
" Fuck ! He's not kidding ! " Ninorta said to himself as he looks at Skullak with fear.
" Skullak seems different, i never seen him this mad before " Cirucci said to herself.
" Master Skullak are you alright ? " Asslinger asked .
" I'm fine guys ! " Skullak answered.
" I can't wait to go on a mission with you Dordoni senpai " Fran stated.
" If you do this mission well , you would earn the right to be my Fracción " Dordoni replied.
" Oh boy i won't disappoint you ! " Fran responded.
" What are you doing on this mission ? " Gantenbainne asked .
" I prefer to go out on mission where darkness is everywhere " Aaroniero answered.
" Time to give the locations out. Grimmjow's team will search the Eastern plains, Dordoni's team search the Western mountains, and Skullak's team will search the Menos Forest " Aizen explained to the group.
" Right ! " everyone replied as they all leave the palace to hunt for stronger Hollows to recruit while a Calaveras walks west.
Meanwhile at Mount Myōboku
A massive explosion occurs as it's revealed Naruto destroyed both Captains with a single Rasenshuriken blast and leaves behind a 50 foot diameter, 10 foot deep crater. Naruto is notably exhausted from the attack and out of Chakra.
" Damn that was everything i got ! " Naruto said to the Toads.
" Nice work Naruto, you have proven your worth to be taught Sage Mode training " Fukasaku said to the Nine Tailed Jinchuuriki.
" Awesome ! " Naruto replied.
" Now time for me to demonstrate the power of Sage Mode to you before we continue " Fukasaku said to Naruto as he gets up.
" What are you going to do ? " Naruto asked Fukasaku.
" Shima , make 5 of those Captain Shinigami clones we got from battle data " Fukasaku said to Shima .
" Right Senjustu : Shinkirō Nentōkopī ( 蜃気楼念頭コピーSage Justu : Mirage Mind Copy Justu ) " Shima chanted as she creates a clone of Hitsugaya, Komamura, Soifon ,Byakuya and Kenpachi to fight Fukasaku.
" You're going to fight all 5 of them at once ? " Naruto asked him.
" Watch how strong i am Naruto Boy Kōei Sējimōdo( 光栄セージモード Honored Sage Mode ) " Fukasaku chanted as he transforms into his Sage Mode and gains purple rings around his eyes.
" Bankai :Senbozakura Kageyoshi " Fake Byakuya chanted as he sends a wave of petals 100 feet high towards Fukasaku.
" Too weak ! " Fukasaku replied as he punches the air and easily punches a hole through Byakuya's wave of blades.
" Incredible he canceled it out with a shockwave ! " Naruto said to himself as Fukasaku kicks Fake Byakuya through several rocks splattering the clone.
" Way of Onmitsu, 5th of the Shihō Inazuma Tejun (稲妻手順 Lightning Step ) " Fake Soifon chanted as she doubles her speed and moves at 120,000 ft/sec( 81,800 MPH) " Soifon chanted as she moves so fast she is almost invisible to Naruto's eyes.
" Her speed is incredible ! " Naruto said to himself only to see Fukasaku punch her in the face and decapitate the clone.
" That was far too slow ! " Fukasaku said to the clone of Soifon only to see Hitsugaya come at him.
" Kyodai Hiryū (巨大氷竜 Giant Ice Dragon) " Fake Hitsugaya chanted as he shoots a 75 foot Chinese dragon towards the elder toad.
" That's not going to work ! " Fukasaku replied as he reflects the attacks back with his barehand and freezes the clone . He then does a dropkick which shatters the clone with ease.
" Tennohiha (天の火を刃Fire Blade of the Heavens) " Fake Sajin chanted as he generates flames around his massive giant's sword and swings it at the toad but the toad catches it with both hands and throws Komamura throw the ground dispelling the clone with no damage to his arm.
" He just grabbed a giant flaming sword barehanded " Naruto said to himself.
" See that's the power of Sage Mode " Fukasaku explained to Naruto only to see Kenpachi behind him
" Watch out old man ! " Naruto said to the elder toad .
" Kendō: Ryōdan (剣道:両断, Way of The Sword :Bisection ) " Kenpachi chanted as he swings his sword horizontally with two hands creating a massive shockwave however the elderly toad sage takes no damage despite being hit at the neck with the blade .
" That was nothing ! " Fukasaku replied as he stabs his hand through Fake Kenpachi's chest and kills the clone.
Fukasaku returns back to normal without breaking a sweat impressing Naruto.
" Incredible, you defeated those Captains like they were nothing and without even using a single justu .How did you do that ? Those clones were as powerful as i remembered but i don't recall ever fighting 3 more Captains " Naruto asked Fukasaku.
" We probed into the minds of your friends and manage to get the info needed to prepare this " Shima answered.
" This was all done under Senjustu ! " Fukasaku stated.
" Senjustu ? " Naruto asked.
" Senjutsu Chakra is the chakra needed to perform Senjutsu, which contains the energy found in nature itself. It is a powerful source of energy, able to grant a ninja increased strength, speed, and endurance for Taijutsu, as well as enhancing the power of one's Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. Sage chakra is created through the three-way mixing and balancing of one's physical energy and spiritual energy, as well as the natural energy (自然エネルギー, shizen enerugī) from the atmosphere/air and terrain/ground. Since the three energies need to be equally balanced, the higher one's personal chakra capacity (physical energy and spiritual energy), the more natural energy they can add to the mix. Only those with a such large Chakra capacity can gather the natural energy needed for entering a powerful state called Sage Mode " Fukasaku explained to Naruto.
" Huh ? " Naruto asked confused at what Fukasaku is saying when a 20 foot orange toad with purple markings around his eyes, mouth and stomach arrives there.
" It's like how ice cream is even better when you add mint to the chocolate and vanilla swirl " said the orange toad.
" That's even harder to understand Gamakichi " Fukasaku stated.
" Oh i get it ,. mint chocolate and vanilla ice cream taste good " Naruto replied.
" That's how he understands techniques ! " Fukasaku responded with a faceplam.
" Wait Gamakichi is that you ? " Naruto asked as he looks at the toad.
" Yeah Naruto , you look surprised to see me " Gamakichi answered.
" You're so much taller , before you were only a foot high and can ride on my head now you're almost 4 times my size " Naruto stated.
" Well us toads grow faster than you humans ! " Gamakichi replied as another toad comes by, this one is yellow toad with orange marking around his eyes and mouth. He also has two markings curving inwards on his stomach.
" I heard there was some ice cream here ! " the fat toad said to Gamakichi.
" Gamatatsu , there's no ice cream here ! " Gamakichi replied.
" Ah man ! " Gamatatsu responded with a disappointed look on his face.
" Boy , you grew as well ! " Naruto said to Gamatatsu.
" May we continue ? " Fukasaku asked.
" Oh right elder toad sensei . What is this natural energy ? " Naruto asked.
" It's energy of the atmosphere and the earth surrounding you " Fukasaku answered.
" In other words, the air and the ground ! " Gamakichi stated.
" Oh yeah, i get it ! " Naruto replied.
" Allow me to show you another good example " Fukasaku said to Naruto as he goes to a 50 foot high statue and using his Sage Mode lifts the statue with one hand
" Incredible, he lifted the statue with ease ! " Naruto said to Gamakichi.
" Those statues are forged with Toad Oil fused with special Toad Stone. The weight of that statue is 10 times heavier than steel . That statue alone weighs 5,000 tons . Elder toad sage is only 5kg in weight. See the difference between his size and the power of Sage Mode ? " Gamakichi explained to Naruto.
" This is the true power of one who's master natural energy with their own power " Fukasaku explained to Naruto.
" But i didn't see you use a handseal , where was this natural energy ? " Naruto asked.
" Those who can't use nature energy can't see it or feel it . It's vastly different from the Reiatsu Shinigami use and the Chakra used by Shinobi " Fukasaku answered.
" Then how do i see that power ? " Naruto questioned the elder toad .
" You must become one with nature ! " Fukasaku answered.
" In other words, you have to die ! " Gamakichi replied.
" What ? Why do i have to die ? " Naruto shouted.
" Gamakichi , why did you say that ? He doesn't need to die " Fukasaku scolded.
" Sorry gramps ! " Gamakichi replied.
" Phew that was a close one ! " Naruto stated worried about having to die.
" I'll start from the beginning . In order to take natural energy in, you need to be able to feel the energy and to draw that power into yourself. Once you become one with that power, you'll be able to control where that energy enters and exits . To do that, you mustn't move . When you stop your flow as an animal and harmonize with the flow of nature " Fukasaku explained to Naruto.
" So i don't have to move ? That sounds easy ! " Naruto stated.
" It's not as easy as you thought . You can't move at all ! " Fukasaku replied.
" The hardest thing to do is not moving. How can i train while not moving ? Is that how one gains natural energy ? " Naruto asked Fukasaku.
" Ye but it's a very difficult time. It would take alot of time to master " Fukasaku answered.
" We don't have much time, we have at least 3 months to prepare for the war . Isn't there a faster or easier way ? " Naruto stated.
" There is one way but you need to rest up first , have Shima make some lunch for you " Fukasaku replied.
" Where's Hinata ? " Naruto asked only to see Gama arrive carrying Hinata who's exhausted from using her Gentle Lion Fist.
" She was stronger than i expected. She injured my arms pretty badly with that last attack " Gama said to Shima .
" Hinata , are you okay ? " Naruto asked.
" I'm fine , i tried hard but he was too strong " Hinata answered.
" Well these guys are training us after all , it's no surprise these guys are far stronger than us " Naruto stated.
" I guess you're right ! " Hinata replied.
" Don't feel bad human, you actually forced me to fight seriously when you used that special attack of yours. It's been awhile since we seen such strong humans " Gama said to Hinata.
" Let's all have a feast and get ready for lunch " Shima said to the group.
" Right ! " Naruto replied as he and Hinata walk to the toad house.
Meanwhile at Vizard hideout
Ichigo in his Vizard mask form clashes with Shikai Kensei . Ichigo puts on his mask for the 20th time and is notably exhausted .
" Looks like that's your last mask. It's been nearly 2 hours since we started. You can hollowfy 20 times in a day, that's very impressive " Kensei said to Ichigo who's worn out.
" What now ? " Ichigo asked.
" We got to the next step .Evolución :Tachikaze Mano Durael Rey ( Spanish for Iron fist king ) " Kensei chanted as he puts on his Vizard mask and reverts his mask to his sealed sword state and transforms into his full powered state.
Kensei is now a large, muscular and bulky humanoid with armored hands and skeletal feet, with a number of thick cylindrical protrusions on his back and forearms. The cylinders on his back seem to make him hunch over. Powerful wind gusts surround his limbs, hiding him completely from view before this same wind forms the armor and physical changes expressed upon its completion.
" What the hell is that ? " Ichigo asked only to see Kensei behind him.
" This is called a Evolución " Kensei answered.
" Evolución ? " Ichigo asked.
" Evolución (Spanish for Evolution ) is Vizard version of a Arrancar's Resurrección that merges the winner hollow with the Zanpakutō. Instead of a hollow mask, you're entire body becomes cloaked with the body of a hollow . The power difference between that and a Hollow mask is the same difference between a Bankai and Shikai. this cloak of the Hollow increases speed, strength, stamina, durability and spiritual power, as well as allowing access to both more powerful variations of previous techniques and completely new abilities . Essentially with this power upgrade, you can potentially hold your own with a Kage " Kensei explained to Ichigo.
" The power of a Kage ? " Ichigo asked.
" Test out my power yourself. Hit me with your strongest attack and test my power for yourself " Kensei answered as he stands there.
" Very well then ! " Ichigo replied as he holds on to his mask reforging it and then swings his sword with Getsuga Tenshō energy on it revealing his Bankai now looks like a black and red lance.
" Come at me Ichigo ! " Kensei stated as he comes at Ichigo.
" Getsuga Kussakuyari (月牙掘削槍 Moon Fang Drilling Lance ) " Ichigo chanted as he dashes towards Kensei but the former Captain easily catches the blade and shatters it and flicks Ichigo into a pile of rocks with one finger shattering his Hollow Mask.
" See how powerful my form is Ichigo ? " Kensei asked Ichigo .
" Damn it, you shattered my Tensa Zangestu with ease and was able to shatter my Hollow Mask with a single flick of a finger. That was an incredible amount of power you showed. How can you control your hollow to such an extent that you can fully use that power ? " Ichigo asked Kensei bewildered by his immense power.
" Only a few people have master this form , my version is incomplete compared to Shinji's . Shinji has mastered his Hollow to the point he can give even the Captain commander a run for his money " Kensei stated.
" That was an incomplete version ? But you have perfect control of your thoughts " Ichigo stated.
" For now , the truth is i can't hold this form for more than 5 minutes. If i maintain this form for too long, my Hollow would take me over " Kensei replied.
" Right now you need to heal up and eat to restore your energy " Shinji said to Ichigo.
" Right ! " Ichigo replied.
Meanwhile at Mount Myōboku
Hinata and Naruto are outside the yard of the elder toads house with Gamakichi and Gamatatsu waiting for their food.
" I can't wait to eat ! " Naruto said to Hinata.
" I wonder what frogs like to eat ? " Hinata asked.
Shima carries a massive tray of bugs and insects that she puts on the floor for the guest.
" Eat up, i made this special ! " Shima said to the group.
" Oh boy food ! " Gamatatsu shouted as he starts munching down on some food .
" This is delicious cooking here Shima ! " Gamakichi said to the old lady.
" Once we finish our food, we can resume Senjustu training " Fukasaku said to Naruto .
" And once you're done Hinata, we can continue to increase your raw physical strength " Shima stated.
" These are my favorite dishes ! " Fukasaku said to his wife.
" Thank you. I'm going to get the drinks next " Shima replied as she leaves the area to go inside the house.
" Do i really have to eat this ? " Naruto thinks to himself.
" This food doesn't even look edible ! " Hinata said to herself.
" Where's some Misto ramen where you can find it ? " Naruto whispered to Hinata.
" We have to be nice and eat this, we don't want to offend them " Hinata replied as she starts to eat the bugs.
" Now,don't be shy . Try some of these yummy caterpillars too " Shima said to Naruto as she serves him a plate of fired caterpillars.
" Here goes nothing ? " Naruto said to himself as he eats the lunch.
Soul Society
12:00 P.M. Yamamoto and the Gotei 13 are burying Omaeda and the 10 fallen Shinigami 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 former 20th seat and former Lieutenant of squad 2 Marechiyo Yoshiayamenosuke Nikkōtarōemon Ōmaeda who lost his life protecting the life of Rurichiyo Kasumiōji and the live of those within the Kasumiōji clan " Yamamoto said to everyone there .
" I can't believe Omaeda and 10 other officers were so easily defeated and killed by ones assassins " Renji said to his Captain .
" Omaeda might not be fit to be Vice Captain but he was at least a decent seated officer " Byakuya replied calmly.
" I don't think the assassin was some ran and file thug, he must of had at least Vice Captain level to take out 10 Shinigami and a seated officer who released his sword " Rukia said to the two of them.
" Rukia has a point, the reports indicate that all the Shinigami were token down with a single slash. Also as if they were hit by a boomerang " Hitsugaya replied.
" A boomerang ? " Izuru asked.
" You know someone with that ability ? " Rangiku asked.
" I think i might know who might have that Shikai but my memory is fuzzy, it's been many years " Izuru answered.
" This needs to be thoroughly investigated and the Shinigami responsible would punished according " Yamamoto stated.
" Don't worry Yamamoto, this has now become a personal conflict for them attacking the Gotei 13 " Soifon replied.
At the same time
Somewhere in the Shinobi world
12:00 Noon . Sasuke arrives at one of Orochimaru's bases located 100 miles northeast of the Land of Waves within a cave . He looks at a room filled with capsule chambers housing many different experiments. He comes across a capsule with a lean-built young man of average height with straight white hair with a light-blue tint to it, purple eyes and fang like teeth.
" So you finally came here ? You must be the one to actually beat Orochimaru " said the young man.
" Allow me to get you out of here ! " Sasuke said to the white-haired Shinobi as he casually slashes through the capsule freeing the Shinobi.
" Thanks Sasuke ! " the young men stated.
" Suigetsu, you're the first come with me ! " Sasuke replied.
" So i'm the first huh ? That means we're getting more company " Suigetsu responded as he emerges out of the water fully naked.
" Let's get going , we got two more people waiting for us " Sasuke said to Suigetsu.
" Two more ? " Suigetsu asked.
" Jugō of the northern hideout and Karin of the southern hideout " Sasuke answered.
" Do we really need them ? I don't like them, i don't think i can be with those two ! " Suigetsu stated .
" You don't have to like each other , you just need to cooperate as a team " Sasuke replied.
" Do think you can order me around like your my superior ? " Suigetsu asked Sasuke as uses Shunshin to appear behind the Uchiha survivor.
" What do you want ? " Sasuke asked.
"Let's get a few things straight , you're not in charge because you took down Orochimaru. Many people wanted that bastard dead and they're were a handful of people that would've killed him eventually . You were his preference , he could've left his guard down and you could've killed him at any time " Suigetsu explained to Sasuke.
" What's your point ? " Sasuke asked.
" I have the advantage now ! " Suggest stated only to see Sasuke behind him a spiltsecond before he fires a water bullet through 10 capsules shattering them and blasting a 3 foot diameter hole in the wall.
" Are you done yet ? " Sasuke asked as he stands there calm with his sword next to Suigetsu's neck.
" So fast, you dodged my Mach 5 water gun easily and you didn't even have an increase of heart rate . You've could've killed me right me if you wanted to " Suigetsu answered as he puts down his hand.
" Are you done yet ? " Sasuke asked Suigetsu.
" I always heard rumors about how strong you were. Your platoon was the one who defeated my old senpai Zabuza Momochi. I have one favor to ask you " Suigetsu explained to Sasuke.
" What is it Suigetsu ? " Sasuke asked .
" Help me retrieve Zabuza's blade and then we have a deal " Suigetsu answered.
" Fine but first, put on some clothes. I don't wish to travel with some nudist " Sasuke stated.
" Fine ! " Suigetsu replied as he goes to put on some clothes.
Meanwhile at Karakura High School
Kon in Ichigo's body is at the rooftop eating lunch with his friends Keigo and Mizuiro as well as Ririn who's within the Gigal of Orihime and Tatsuki who's hanging out with them.
" So Orihime how are you doing ? " Keigo asked.
" Fine , i was sick yesterday " Ririn answered.
" You had us all worried sick " Mizuro stated.
" Orihime is perfectly fine , i made sure she was okay and made sure she did all her homework " Kon replied.
" I need to use the bathroom quickly " Tatsuki said to Kon and Ririn .
"Okay Tatsuki ! " Ririn replied as Tatsuki heads to where Chad and Uryū are at .
Meanwhile Uryū and Chad are at the rooftop talking with each other about Orihime and Ichigo
" So Orihime is being held captive ? " Uryū asked Chad .
" Yep and worse yet none of us are strong enough to face the Espadas or Akatsuki yet " Chad answered.
" Kisuke reported that Ichigo attempted to get into Las Noches by himself and was at least successful at beating 5 Espadas singlehandedly from 5 to 10 . Kisuke estimated that with our current power, we would be lucky to beat even one Espada between the rank of 7 and 10, you probably might handle two Espadas below 8 easily. Point is that there's a world of difference between our power and Ichigo's power at this state " Uryū explained to Chad.
" That's why i decided to train under Yoruichi and Captain Soifon for hand to hand combat training. According to them i have potential to be Captain level or even higher but my speed affects the force of my punching power and they said that it can be several times stronger if i put enough speed into the hit " Chad explained to Uryū.
Tatsuki walks over to talk with them .
" There you two are , where have you been ? " Tatsuki asked Uryū and Chad.
" How did you find us up here ? " Uryū asked.
" Cut the crap. I'm already aware you two have powers " Tatsuki answered.
" Powers ? Don't be ridiculous Tatsuki , what makes you think i have powers ? " Uryū questioned then black-haired tomboy.
" Kisuke told me everything about the Quinces before i came to school and by the way i'm aware that Orihime is really a modsoul within a Gigal of Orihime to cover up her disappearance while Ichigo trains to get stronger to rescue Orihime " Tatsuki explained to them.
" So there's no use hiding stuff from you ? When did you become spiritually aware ? " Uryū asked Tatsuki.
" I think it was the same time Orihime gained powers when that hollow attacked her " Tatsuki answered.
" So why are you here ? " Chad questioned the tomboy.
" I doubt you came here just to talk " Uryū said to Tatsuki.
" I want you two to give me powers ! " Tatsuki answered.
" What ? " Uryū asked shocked by her demand.
" Tatsuki ? " Chad asked bewildered by her demanded.
" I want to rescue Orihime too, she's my best friend too. I don't want to lose her either and now that i know something can be done to save her, i want to save her as well " Tatsuki explained to the two.
" Sorry Tatsuki but you asked the wrong guys to lend you powers " Uryū stated.
" Why ? " Tatsuki asked.
" A Quincy is born with power and we have no way of passing on our powers to other people. If it was all that simple, the Quincy race would've recovered and repopulated by now but that's a story for another day. The point is that Quinces can't give power to humans, it's far too risky , especially given Quincy powers are meant to destroy spirits, not purify them . If i attempt to give you powers, you would not only die but vanish from existence " Uryū explained to Tatsuki .
" Shit , Chad you can at least lend me your powers right ? " Tatsuki asked the tall Mexican.
" Sorry , i can't either . My powers are still unknown to me at this point and i haven't fully mastered them yet . It would be far too dangerous to lend powers to you " Chad answered.
" Damn it, this sucks. How am i suppose to get powers ? " Tatsuki asked.
" Ask Kisuke, he might now of a way to give you powers " Chad answered.
" If you really wish to fight at our side, Kisuke is the one you need to speak too " Uryū stated.
" Thanks guys ! " Tatsuki replied as she leaves the rooftop.
" I wonder how Ichigo is doing at the moment ? " Chad asked Uryū.
Meanwhile at the Vizard Training Ground
Ichigo finishes his lunch with the Vizards after having a nice meal of burgers and fires .
" That was a pretty good lunch Kensei " Ichigo said to the Vizard.
" Well someone has to do the cooking around here " Kensei replied.
" I think it's cute to have you as a cook " Lisa stated.
" Shut up, i don't do it because it's cute, i do it because we need to eat to maintain our strength " Kensei replied.
" A hardass to the end huh Kensei ? " Shinji asked him.
" Let's get to the next step of this kids training shall we " Kensei answered.
"What's the next step of this training ? " Ichigo asked.
" This would be your Evolución training , you must become one with your inner hollow and learn to control it's power " Shinji answered.
" How do i learn to do that ? " Ichigo asked.
" You need to forcibly pull out your hollow power and use your own Reiatsu to maintain the form of your hollowfied self however this can only be done when a Shinigami has mastered his full potential therefore you would need to achieve Bankai to even attempt to control that power of yours " Shinji explained to Ichigo.
" But i saw Kensei using only a sealed sword before and really he wasn't even using that either " Ichigo stated.
" That's because Kensei has mastered his Hollow Form to the point he can summon it at will even without releasing his Shikai " Shinji answered.
" But he also said that he didn't fully master it like you " Ichigo stated.
" That's because he hasn't fully mastered his Bankai's true power ! " Shinji replied.
" What do you mean ? " Ichigo asked.
" In order to have a prefect Evolución, one must have a perfectly mastered Bankai combined with the Hollow within them . Do you know the reason why ? " Shinji asked Ichigo.
" Why ? " Ichigo asked Shinji.
" Evolución puts a huge risk to the user. It leaves us far more vulnerable to being token over , to make sure that doesn't happen, we trained for the last 100 years to master our Bankais and it gave us the power to control it for a while but the effects are still great. When you use Evolución, you temporarily shelve your own Reiatsu in order to use your Inner Hollow's power which allows the Hollow to automatically drain you of your Reiatsu . If you stay in that form for too long, your Hollow would steal all of your Reiatsu and you will never return back to your original state" Shinji explained to Ichigo.
" You got to be kidding me ! " Ichigo said to Shinji nervous about the whole ordeal.
" However we'll develop and help you master your Bankai later . Hiyori bring out the chains " Shinji stated.
" Right ! " Hiyori replied as she pulls out some chains form a box with gloves on.
" What are those ? " Ichigo asked Shinji.
" Those would be your training tools ! " Shinji answered as Hiyori throws down Ichigo and wrap the chains around his torso and arms.
" What are you doing ? " Ichigo asked the Vizard.
" Shut up dickhead, this is part of your training " Hiyori answered as she gets off him and within a few seconds Ichigo's Reiatsu jumps out.
" What the hell ? ARRCK ! " Ichigo shouted as he vomits out white foam and his face gets covered with it as well as his white arm.
" In order to achieve the form Evolución, you must triumph over the encroachment process. These Special Encroachment Chains rapidly speed up the process of Hollowfication to the point you become a full Hollow . The chains are lightweight and flexible making them comfortable but that's because they're really Hollow like chains that devour Reiatsu and attract the Inner Hollow out. These chain can only be broken if you manifest your Inner Hollow however taking control of him is the hard part " Shinji explained to Ichigo while Ichigo struggles to maintain control.
" How do i do this ? What happens if he comes out ? " Ichigo asked Shinji.
" You must perfectly control your Reiatsu, if you can't do that then you have no chance of controlling that Hollow " Shinji answered.
" DAMN IT ! " Ichigo shouted as he starts to transform into his first form .
" Hachigen stop him ! " Shinji said to Hachigen .
" Right ! " Hachigen replied as he uses a powerful Kidō to disable the chains and teleport them back to the box with Ichigo turning back to normal worn out.
" Damn, that was far harder than i thought ! " Ichigo said to Shinji.
" Just as i thought , you lack control of your Reiatsu. You need to train to control that massive amount of Reiatsu otherwise you never have a chance of mastering this form " Shinji said to Ichigo.
" But how do i do that ? I tried so hard but it doesn't work " Ichigo asked Shinji.
" You would need to train in techniques that require you to manifest and control your Reiatsu better . That's the only way you can nail this , the only other way is to try again with the chains " Shinji answered.
" Man, i knew training was going to be tough but not this tough " Ichigo replied.
Meanwhile at Mount Myōboku
Naruto continues to vomit next to the Toad Oil Waterfall from eating too many bugs.
" You didn't like the food ? " Fukasaku asked .
" No offense but bugs aren't my thing ! " Naruto answered.
" If Ma saw ya right now, she'd smack ya real good " Fukasaku stated.
" That's why i ate all of it ! " Naruto replied.
" Well, when your stomach's growlin', you'll stop being picky and naturally get used ta it " Fukasaku replied.
" At that point, i don't think i would even be human anymore ! " Naruto said to himself .
" Now let's begin the training ! " Fukasaku said to Naruto.
" Is there another way to gain Sage Mode without having to stay still ? " Naruto asked to elder toad.
" Well, if you insist, there is another way " Fukasaku answered.
" Really ? Teach me ! " Naruto stated.
" That waterfall behind me contains the answer you're looking for " Fukasaku replied.
" Whoa, what is that ? " Naruto asked.
" It's Mount Myōboku's secret toad oil " Fukasaku answered.
" Secret toad oil ? " Naruto asked the toad.
"Come here for a second and place your hand within it " Fukasaku stated.
" Okay ! " Naruto replied as he kneels over and places his right arm out.
" This toad oil has the power ta draw in natural energy " Fukasaku said to Naruto.
" That's great ! " Naruto stated.
" After rubbin' this oil on your body, natural energy will be able ta enter in through it. With that , you'll be able ta feel tha natural energy around your body " Fukasaku explained to Naruto.
" Yeah, i'm definitely feeling something... " Naruto stated as he feels Senjustu energy flowing through him.
" This would help you get used to Senjustu energy. Eventually, you'll be able ta sense it without tha oil . Although this method is quite risky , if you fail ta properly control tha natural energy , you will turn into a frog" Fukasaku explained to Naruto as Naruto gains a frog like arm and the right hand of his face resembles a toad . Naruto looks into the pond and sees himself part frog.
"AWWWWH! Wh-Wh-Wh-What the hell ? ! Help me ! I don't wanna be a frog ! " Naruto shouted as he runs around only to get hit by Fukasaku's stick.
" Calm down ! " Fukasaku said to Naruto.
" Ow... Why did you do that ? " Naruto asked only to see his hand is back to normal.
" That's why ! " Fukasaku answered.
" I'm normal again ! " Naruto shouted .
" You've already gotten tha balance down for fomrin' chakra with spiritual and physical energy however , introducin' natural energy from tha outside makes keepin' tha balance all the more difficult. Too little and ya can't form Senjutsu Chakra however too much natural energy and you'll become a frog , Ya can still go back to normal if ya only absorb a little however take in too much natural energy and you'll be transformed into a frog forever " Fukasaku explained to Naruto.
" When i said you'd die earlier, i meant as a human " Gamakichi stated.
" Those who become frogs will then truly be at one with Nature . Those stone statues you see around you are what happened ta those who failed in tha past " Fukasaku replied as he shows Naruto dozens of stone statues around the area.
" All of them ? " Naruto asked as he looks around bewildered at what he sees.
" Don't worry, i'm here and as long as my staff can knock out that natural energy within you, you'll be perfectly fine . If ya start turning into a frog, i'll keep hittin' ya till ya change back " Fuksaku said to Naruto.
" Okay ! " Naruto replied.
" I'll let you know a secret . Even Jiraiya boy couldn't get it down perfectly. When formin' senjustu chakra, he'd still slightly transform into a frog. While he can barely maintain his original appearance, he was still capable of fully using the power of a Sage however the imperfection of his sage mode weakened his by 500% . His power only increased by 1,000% his natural power as opposed to 5,000% with my Sage Mode " Fukasaku explained to Naruto.
" I see, then i'll just have to fully master Sage Mode then " Naruto replied as he resumes his training.
Meanwhile Hinata is with Shima within her training to get stronger while watching Naruto master Sage Mode.
" What's Naruto doing ? It looks like he's having trouble over there " Hinata asked Shima.
" He's trying to learn Sage Mode ! " Shima answered.
" I wish i can learn it but my power isn't strong enough to handle my current Gentle Lion Fist. What thinks i can learn a technique Naruto barely controls it ? " Hinata explained to the toad woman.
" You said you wanted to increase your power right ? This is a prefect way do so . When Jiraiya Boy first came here, he wasn't strong enough to master Senjustu either. It wasn't until he was Naruto's age did he start Sage Mode training, it took him nearly 10 years to master the imperfect state of it " Shima explained to Hinata.
" So what's my training regiment ? " Hinata asked only to be given 5 heavy stones, each weighing 5 tons.
" You must start by carrying those stones to that peak over there that's 1,000 feet high " Shima said to Hinata.
" These rocks look alot heavier than i thought " Hinata said to Shima as she holds onto 5 normal peeblestones that are each a foot in diameter.
Meanwhile at Konoha
Konohamaru finishes his lunch and begins his training with Ebisu watching over him as well as Udon and Mogei.
" What you doing Konohamaru ? " Ebisu asked.
" I'm going to train the same way Naruto did to get stronger " Konohamaru answered.
" You're using those prayer beads Naruto gave you ? " Ebisu asked.
" Yep and i'm about to test out the power of these beads " Konohamaru answered .
" You're sure you can handle that ? " Mogei asked him.
" I can handle anything " Konohamaru answered.
" But those beads increase weight by 10 times " Udon stated.
" I said i can handle this! Shishi Kajūshīru ( 四肢の加重シール Four Limbs Weighting Seal ) " Konohamaru chanted as he does a handseal only for the beads to glow white and Konohamaru smashes headfrist into the ground. Konohamaru gets back up but is barely able to move.
" My goodness, Naruto had to train in those for the whole 3 years ? " Ebisu asked himself.
" Konohamaru , it's too much for you to handle " Mogei said to Konohamaru.
" I'm not giving up, i must get stronger " Konohamaru replied as he moves around slowly.
Meanwhile Sakura is smashed through a rock by Tsunade who's training her.
" Damn Tsunade, you're really going all out " Sakura said to her master.
" Naruto plans on getting stronger right ? You must too " Tsunade explained to Tsunade as her student gets back up.
" Still , you never punched me that hard ! " Sakura stated.
" You think i was going all out ? I was holding back on you the other times we trained and sparred, we need to work on your training and fight until you get stronger " Tsunade explained to Sakura.
" Can you teach me how to learn a new element ? " Sakura asked Tsunade.
" Well given you surprised me with your strength increase during the Konoha invasion, i'll accept your request " Tsunade answered as she comes at Sakura.
" So how do we begin that ? " Sakura asked Tsunade as she dodges her right hook.
" The same way it's always done. The leaf test " Tsunade answered as she pushes Sakura into a pile of rocks.
" Maybe we should eat and rest up a bit, you almost pulverized me to death with that last attack " Sakura stated.
" No pain, no game Sakura. Remember that ! " Tsunade replied.
Meanwhile at Squad 6 barracks
Renji and Rukia struggle to fight against Sasakibe's Shikai with their Shikai. Renji and Rukia dodge the lightning from his rapier and go for the attack.
" Roar Zabimaru " Renji chanted as he swings his whip towards Sasakibe but Sasakibe blocks with a thrusting motion and dashes towards Renji with his rapier pointed to his neck.
" That's 10 times you would've been dead on the battlefield ! " Sasakibe said to Renji as Renji drops his weapon. Rukia comes from behind and tries to do her attack
" Some no mai, Tsukishiro (初の舞・月白, First Dance, White Moon) " Rukia chanted as she tries to freeze Sasakibe in place but he dodges and goes behind Rukia.
" There's a three-second gap between freeing process, you need to decrease your charge time or anyone could just easily evade the attack " Sasakibe said to Rukia.
" Damn, this is much harder than i thought it would be " Renji stated as he's out of breath.
" Looks like the mountain that we must cross to master Bankai is going to be a very steepe one " Rukia replied.
" In order to master Bankai, one must perfectly master Shikai and make sure all attacks are in snyc. If you try using Bankai without mastering Shikai, your Bankai effectiveness would be pitiful " Sasakibe explained to the two.
" But isn't obtaining a Bankai mastering Shikai as well ? " Renji asked Sasakibe.
" That's a common mistake that all Captains within this generation make . The assumption that you mastered Shikai no sooner do you have a Bankai is lurdcious. To perfectly master your Bankai, you must combine your Bankai attacks with Shikai attacks in perfect sync " Sasakibe said to Rukia and Renji.
" But that's what we been doing with our Bankais " Rukia stated.
" Then fight me in your Bankai state ! " Sasakibe said to the two of them .
" What ? You can't be serious ! " Rukia said shocked to see Sasakibe wanting to fight them in Bankai.
" No offense but i doubt even you can handle our Bankai's with just Shikai " Renji stated.
" If i used my Bankai against your Bankai's , it would be a curbstomp like before. At least it's more of a fair fight this way " Sasakibe replied.
" Bankai : Shirayuki Shiro Tsukihime( 白雪,姫白月 White Snow, White Moon Princess ) " Rukia chanted as she releases her Bankai.
" Bankai : Hihio Zabimaru " Renji chanted as he releases his Bankai.
Meanwhile at Land of Water cemetery
Sasuke and Suigetsu arrive at the cemetery within the Land of Waves 10 miles north of the town . The cemetery is on top of a 500 foot high hill. Sasuke and Suigetsu.
" Hey , Sasuke...was it really here ? " Suigetsu asked Sasuke.
" Yeah it was ! " Sasuke answered.
" It's gone now ! " Suigetsu responded.
" If that blade is gone, somebody must've taken it " Sasuke stated.
" I guess so ...Sorry, but since that sword isn't here, coming with you is postponed " Suigetsu answered as he walks away.
" What do you plan to do ? " Sasuke asked Suigetsu.
" I'm gonna search for it, obviously . For generations, the Seven Great Shinobi Swordsmen had a system where they passed their swords " Suigetsu replied.
Meanwhile throughout Konoha
Meanwhile Lee and Gai train with each other . Gai blocks Lee's kick and they both clash fists briefly . After a short exchange, Lee prepares to talk with his master.
" What new Taijustu do i have to learn today ? " Lee asked Gai.
" I have nothing more to teach you " Gai answered.
" What do you mean Gai Sensei ? " Lee questioned his bushy brow master..
" You learned all the techniques need to get you by, in order to get stronger, you must develop your own Taijustu and unlock the 6th gate " Gai explained to Lee.
" How do i do that ? " Lee asked .
" You need to push your body to your absolute limit by training it harder than i can ever do and that's how you unlock the 6th gate. Combine that with the power of your own attack, you would be one step closer to surpassing your master " Gai explained to Lee.
" Very well then Gai sensei, i'll do my best to make you proud and develop my own Taijustu and unlock the 6th gate " Lee stated.
" That a boy Lee, go and make me proud ! " Gai replied as he and Lee walk away from each other.
" I'm going to train 5 times as hard to master the 6th gate and develop my own Taijustu " Lee said to himself.
" While Lee trains by himself , it's best i find a remote location. I can't train to learn the 7th gate near this village " Gai said to himself.
Meanwhile Ino, Shikamaru and Chōji try to get stronger perfecting the Ino Shika Chō formation on three , 100 foot high rock formations.
" We tired several times already , we can't even smash a rock formation 1/5 the size our fathers smashed apart " Ino said to Shikamaru.
" We got to keep trying , if we don't , we can never avenge Asuma sensei " Shikamaru replied.
" You have a point ! " Chōji responded.
" Now let's try this again guys ! " Shikamaru said to the team.
" Right ! " both Inochi and Chōji replied.
" Shinreino Sekiryoku(心霊の斥力Psionic Repulsion ) " Ino chanted as she struggles to levitate the rock but she doesn't make it budge an inch.
"Chō Harite ( 超張り手Human Jackhammer )" Chōji chanted as he tries to smash the rock but he only cracks it in base form.
" Kage Nohao Kōgeki (影の刃を攻撃 Shadow Blade Strike) " Shikaku chanted as he summons a shadow tendril that is shaped like a katana that comes towards the rock but the blade falls to cut it.
" Damn at this rate, we're not going to be able to beat a Captain " Chōji said to Ino and Shikamaru.
" We can't give up ! " Shikamaru replied.
Meanwhile at Squad 2 barracks
Soifon is in the office with Ibiki talking to her .
" So what to do ? " Ibiki asked Soifon.
" You need to protect the princess of the clan where they are assigns Ibiki to protect the princess of the Kasmouji clan Rurichiyo Kasumiōji " Soifon answered.
" I see , you're sending me out do protect the princess ? " Ibiki asked her Captain.
" That and to find out who's the one's responsible for the death of Omaeda and the 10 officers that were with him " Soifon explained to her Vice Captain.
" You can count on me to protect the princess and bring the guys to justice " Ibiki stated.
" Get going and good luck bringing the criminals to face justice ! " Soifon replied.
Meanwhile at the Town of Waves
Sasuke comes into the town and finds the people who knows where Suigetsu's sword is at. They pin a former member of Gato's gang into a back alleyway. The man they're holding at sword point is a light-skinned man with bluish-white hair and black eyes. He has lined markings tattooed under his eye and is wearing a dark purple hat on this head, the top of which extends far beyond the top of his head. The man also wears a blue jacket with multiple pockets and tied to his waist is his blue handled katana.
" How did a wanted criminal like you avoid detection within this town ? " the guy asked Sasuke.
" Remember me ? " Sasuke answered as he stares at the guy.
" How can i forget a brat like you ? " the man answered.
" Zori , where is Zabuza's sword ? " Sasuke asked the guy only for another man to appear behind Suigetsu and Sasuke.
The man is of tall stature, he's wearing an eyepatch over his right eye and has brown hair which he parts in three, finishing in an elaborate topknot. He has an intricate tattoo that seemingly stretches across his entire left side and left right, inner thigh, as well as a stitched scar on the left side of his forehead, and the left side of his mouth. He's wearing what seems to be a loose-fitting kimono, albeit not in the traditional manner as the top half of the outfit falls around his waist leaving his upper body exposed. He's also wearing bandages wrapped around his waist, simple sandals and carries a fairly long sword.
" Sasuke look out behind you ! " Suigetsu shouted.
" Waraji get him " Zori shouted as he comes at Sasuke.
" Iaidō ! " Waraji chanted as he swings his blade towards Sasuke's neck but the blade shatters on impact while Sasuke stands there unfazed.
" Are you finished ? " Sasuke asked as he is then shown with his sword halfway drawn.
" What ? How can he ... " Waraji shouted only to be spilt in half a few seconds later.
" Waraji ! What the hell are you ? How did you become that strong ? "Zori shouted.
" Talk or you would end up like your friend " Sasuke asked Waraji .
" Why don't you just talk about the location of the sword already ? " Suigetsu stated as he pulls out a kunai.
" Okay, okay . I'll talk ! " Zori replied.
" Go ahead and talk ! " Sasuke said to Suigetsu.
" It's located within Tenzen's castle 20 miles north of here in the woods" Zori answered..
" Who's Tenzen ? " Suigetsu asked.
" Daikoku Tenzen is a politician, but that's just the public image. Behind that facade, he's the leader of a gang of bandits . He gives the Feudal Lord of this country huge amounts of bribes and i heard rumors that he commits alot of crimes for his own gain " Zori explained to the two.
" You're pretty well-informed kid ! " Suigetsu replied as Zori runs away only to be cut down by Sasuke.
" ARRGH ! " Zori shouted as he falls to the ground dead.
" What was the point of that ? " Suigetsu asked
" He looked at me wrong ! " Sasuke answered.
" Jeez, i didn't think you had such killing intent " Suigetsu stated.
" Originally i thought it would be better to avoid killing as much people as possible but then again that also makes one weak " Sasuke replied.
Meanwhile at District # 3 Īsuto shūryō
Kenpachi and Unohana clash attacks and Kenpachi holds out better against the Captain.
" Not bad Kenpachi, you're getting the hang of these Kendo strikes " Unohana said to Kenpachi as she blocks a strike from Kenpachi.
" I've been constanting exercising and homing my skills to fight you " Kenpachi replied as he goes for a two-handed vertical slash but Unohana blocks the attack and pushes him back.
" You still need to be better than that to beat me ! " Unohana responded as she comes at Kenpachi.
Kasumiōji castle
1:00 P.M. Ibiki walks into the Kasumiōji manor where she meets up with two bodyguards who are at home. One of them is a Shinigami wearing the standard Shinigami uniform with a light garment underneath. He's also wearing gray gloves that extend halfway to his elbows. His hair is blue-black and his eyes are an icy blue. The other Shinigami is a muscular man with a small Mohawk in the shape of a lightning bolt. Under his standard Shinigami uniform is a light purple garment. He also wears large sunglasses and can often be seen having strange looks on his face.
" So you came ? " the man said to Ibiki.
" I been hired to protect the clan from the assassins. It seems like this issue has reach critical levels mr Kenzaki " Ibiki explained to the guy with black hair.
" Call me Kenryū ! " the black-haired man stated.
" So that guy, does he talk or is he mute ? " Ibiki asked Kenryū.
" Enryū is not a guy of many words, he's very shy " Kenryū stated.
" I see, where's the princess ? " Ibiki asked.
" She's within her school at the moment, she's currently within a prestigious middle school " Kenryū answered.
" You have security around that perimeter right ? " Ibiki asked.
" After what happened last night, we have security under watch 24/7. Rurichiyo must not know that her life was in danger, we did everything we can to keep it in the dark so far from her " Kenryū explained to the Vice Captain.
" What if they really do attack her ? Wouldn't she find out ? How would you plan to deal with it ? " Ibiki asked .
" We have you to make sure she doesn't . You're going to be undercover as our new maid to make sure that Rurichiyo doesn't know . We made a big mistake having security stay away from the manor and patrol the outer perimeter. You have to pretend to be a maid until further notice " Kenryū explained to Ibiki.
" Okay then, i'll make sure that no harm comes to the princess " Ibiki replied as she goes to get dressed.
Meanwhile at Mount Myobuku
Naruto struggles to use the toad oil to gather nature energy to form Senjustu but his right half of his body starts to turn into a frog.
" Shit ! " Naruto shouted as he starts turning into a frog when Fukasaku smacks him with his cane.
" That's the 15th time already, it's best you don't overdo it " Fukasaku said to Naruto.
" I'm not going give up until i get this right " Naruto stated only to be hit in the head by Fukasaku's staff.
" Don't rush things, you need to learn patience. Senjustu isn't something achieved right away , you need to spend alot of time and energy to learn this power. Rush it recklessly and you'll lose your life " Fukasaku explained to Naruto .
" Fine, i'll take a break ! " Naruto replied.
Meanwhile at the other side of the training ground. Hinata manages to climb up the 2,500 foot mountain while carrying 5 heavy rocks.
" Almost there ! " Hinata said to herself as she's about to walk up only to slip and fall down from the mountain peak but Shima catches Hinata.
" I must admit , you made it here further than any person in on your first try .Not since Jiraiya boy have i seen anyone made it this far up the mountain " Shima said to Hinata.
" I won't stop at anything to get stronger so i can help protect Naruto ! " Hinata replied.
Meanwhile at the Vizard Hideout
Ichigo struggles to master his hollow powers as the chains bind to him . Ichigo manages to get his right arm solidified under his control however the right half is still hollowfying.
" Damn, i can't get it to stop ! " Ichigo said to himself.
" Ichigo, you need to concentrate that Reiatsu and form a cloak around you, you can't let that Hollow take control of you " Shinji said to Ichigo.
" I'm trying ! " Ichigo replied as he tries to stand and tires to use his own Reiatsu to try stopping the process.
" Pouring more Reiatsu isn't enough to control it. You must condense and shape that Reiatsu into a cloak, if you don't do that, you're inner Hollow would be unleashed " Kensei warned Ichigo.
" Shit , i can't handle this ! " Ichigo shouted as he starts to go into his first Hollow form.
" Hachigen, dispel it ! " Shinji shouted as Ichigo's body starts to transform.
" Right ! " Hachigen replied as he dispels the chains and Ichigo goes back to normal.
" Damn it, this training is much harder than anything i went through in my life " Ichigo said to Shinji.
" Boy you really suck at this Ichigo " Hiyori snickered.
" Oh yeah, i'll like to see you try this Hiyori , oh wait you don't have Bankai yet do you " Ichigo replied mocking her.
" What did you say ? I'll kick your ass right here , right now " Hiyori shouted only to be grabbed by Love.
" It's best we don't fight him now. He needs 30 minutes to rest before he tries again, taking him on might release the Hollow inside him " Love stated.
" Shit, i don't want to deal with that creäture. He almost leveled Las Noches and killed us all, i'm no match against that beast " Hiyori replied.
" Then apologize to Ichigo for causing him so much trouble " Rose said to Hiyori.
" Never, i don't apologize. That shit is for the weak " Hiyori replied.
" You bitch ! " Ichigo shouted .
" Hiyori apologize to Ichigo " Shinji said to Hiyori .
" Fuck you " Hiyori responded as she throws a shoe at Shinji hurting him.
" OWWWW! What is this sandal make of ? " Shinji asked as he bleeds from his forehead .
" Enough fighting, Ichigo needs to rest up and try again " Hachigen explained to them.
" Right, Ichigo rest up for now " Shinji stated.
" And try not to suck so badly! " Hiyori replied as Ichigo goes to rest.
" Hiyori, stop picking on Ichigo ! " Lisa shouted.
Tenzen's castle
2:00 P.M. Sasuke and Suigetsu at the castle to see the 20 story castle from a 300 meter distance.
" Your sword is in that castle ! " Sasuke said to Suigetsu.
" Shall i kill them all ? " Suigetsu asked .
" Do as you please, i don't care what you do to these guys. Nobody is going to miss this lowly bunch of thugs " Sasuke answered.
" Then commerce the attack ! " Suigetsu stated.
" Very well then ! Fire Style : Phoinex Fire Flower Justu " Sasuke chanted as he fires hundreds of fireballs the size of bullets into the sky.
Meanwhile the guards of the castle see a bunch of fireballs raining down at the moat.
" What the hell is that ? " one of the guards asked.
" It seems like firebombs, we got intruders attacking at the east gate " the guards answered.
All the 5,000 heavily armed mercenaries come out to attack Sasuke and Suigetsu.
" Who are these two kids ? " one of the guards asked.
" We're the ones attacking your castle " Sasuke answered.
" HAHAHAHA ! Don't joke around like that , that's not funny " one of the guards laughed.
" Where serious, we are ninjas after all ! " Suigetsu replied.
" HAHAHAHAAHA. Rick, kick there asses " one of the guards laugh as a very large brute with muscles and a bald head comes by to beat the shit out of Sasuke and Suigetsu.
" Rick smashes candy asses ! " Rick shouted as he punches Suigetsu in the face only to see he didn't him.
" Was that all ? " Suigetsu asked the guy while behind him as he punches him in the back of the head killing him.
" They really are ninjas ! " the guards shouted.
" There's 5,000 of us and only two of them , let's get them " another guard replied as all the men charge at Suigetsu and Sasuke.
" Let's see what you got Suigetsu " Sasuke stated.
" Right ! " Suigetsu replied as he charges into the platoon of heavily armed soldiers and easily take out all of them within a minute.
" Not bad ! " Sasuke said to Suigetsu.
" That was too easy, that wasn't even a warm up " Suigetsu responded.
" Not bad but let's see how fast you reteirvte your sword " Sasuke said to Suigetsu.
" Right ! " Suigetsu replied as he dashes towards the castle at hypersonic speed.
Suddenly Hex appears from a Garganta to talk with Sasuke.
" Is that the guy i have to kill ? " Hex asked Sasuke.
" Yes, don't disappoint me !" Sasuke answered.
" Yes master ! " Hex stated as he goes to fight Suigetsu.
Suigetsu makes to the top floor where he encounters a middle-aged man within the center of the room
" Impossible, you were able to kill that many soldiers singlehandedly without a weapon ? " Tenzen asked Suigetsu.
" What a pitiful resistance force, they barely put up a fight with those toys they call weapons " Suigetsu answered.
" What do you want from me ? " Tenzen asked Suigetsu.
" Where's Zabuza's blade ? " Suigetsu questioned the middle-aged king pin.
" Allow me to answer that ! " said a large muscular man with Zabuza's sword as he dashes towards Suigetsu.
" How funny, you have my Kubikiribōchō ! " Suigetsu said to the charging man only to be cut in half by the brute.
" Yes, take that you son of a bitch . That's what you get for fucking with me " Tenzen laughed only to see Suigetsu reform and liquefy back to his normal state.
" Damn that was a pretty clean-cut, not bad for an amateur ! " Suigetsu said to the brute as he stands next to the brute.
" SHIT ! " said the brute with the sword.
" Impossible ! " Tenzen shouted only to see Suigetsu knock out the guard and grab the blade.
" What a poor use of this sword, allow me to show you as it's suppose to be used " Suigetsu said to the brute as he grabs sword and effortlessly removes it from the bodyguard and rips his arms off in the process .
" ARRGH ! " the bodyguard shouted as he struggles to withstand the pain.
" Time to end this , let's test the sharpness of this blade ! " Suigetsu replied as he swings his sword creates an air pressure slash which easily destroys the pillars and causes the castle to collapse .
" Shit, i gotta get out here ! " Tenzen shouted as he runs for his life and tires to flee from his castle but the floor collapses and he falls down with the castle as well as Suigetsu. Suigetsu emerges out of the castle ruins unscathed .
" That was refreshing ! " Suigetsu said to himself only to see a sword come towards him only to block casually with one hand one his sword.
" Not bad human, you managed to block that blow " Hex said to Suigetsu.
"My my, what's with the bitch haircut ? " Suigetsu asked the hollow.
" So you can really see me after all ? " Hex said to Suigetsu .
" How can i not ? You have a stupid looking haircut and you're hunchback. Also what's the deal with the hole in your chest ? " Suigetsu asked the Hollow.
" I'm Arrancar #82 Hexapodus, i'm a hollow, i'm what you humans call a ghost " Hex answered.
" You can't be a ghost, all the ones i have seen before have no legs are almost transparent " Suigetsu stated as he punches Hex in the face.
" ARRGH! You bastard ! " Hex shouted as blood comes out of his forehead.
" You also seem to bleed like a human too " Suigetsu stated as he stand there not convinced he's a ghost.
" How did you punch through my Hierro ? It's suppose to be as strong as steel " Hex asked Suigetsu as he's shocked by the amount of blood coming out of his forehead.
" I don't know what kind of steel skin you got but if i could damage you so easily with such a weak punch,then you're not that tough . I must give you credit though, at least you're not as fragile as the piles of bodies i left around here " Suigetsu answered .
" How dare you underestimate me ? You worthless human bastard " Hex shouted as he goes to slash Suigetsu but Suigetsu blocks it easily with his blade.
" You're a sword user huh ? Sorry but you dug your own grave, you can't hope to kill me " Suigetsu arrogantly taunted.
" You arrogant little brat, I'm an Arrancar, a killing machine who kills on command. Sasuke sent me out to kill you " Hex replied.
" I see, so he used you to test my strength ? How cold , so far you're not even a decent warmup. I think Sasuke thinks i'm weak if he sends such trash here. How insulting " Suigetsu arrogantly stated.
" How dare you insult me you brat ! " Hex shouted as he comes at Suigetsu but Suigetsu appears behind him and slashes him across the chest with ease.
" SON OF A BITCH ! " Hex shouted as he holds onto his chest and charges up a Green Cero.
" What the ? " Suigetsu asked as he goes to block the attack.
" Too slow ! " Hex shouted as he fires a green Cero that hits Suigetsu chest and blast a hole in him.
" ARRGH ! " Suigetsu shouted as he staggers back .
" Hahahaha ! That's right kid,no matter how tough a human is there are no match for an Arrancar " Hex arrogantly laughed only to see Suigetsu reform
" Ha, just kidding ! " Suigetsu replied as he stands unfazed.
" HOW THE HELL ARE YOU STILL ALIVE ? " Hex asked.
" How boring ! That attack was so weak that i didn't need my hydration technique to avoid damage " Suigetsu answered.
" Hydration Technique ? " Hex asked.
" It's my hydration Technique ! By liquefying the body at will, this technique makes it impossible for me to receive damage from physical attacks. From a single hair to the skin and muscles, There's nothing that can bypass this defense " Suigetsu explained to Hex.
" You cocky son of a bitch , i'll show you not to fuck with me human Sling Araña (Spanish for Spider )" Hex chanted as he turns himself into a large six-legged spider with two arms and wields two sword like extension for his arms and is extremely fast.
" What the hell is that form ? " Suigetsu asked them.
" You see ,us Arrancar have the ability to seal their power within a Zanpakutō . Upon releasing their Zanpakutō , they gain all of their former unique Hollow abilities back, essentially resurrecting their old selves. When using this ability, they essentially combine their human form and their Hollow form, incidentally increasing their power considerably. As another note, when an Arrancar uses his or her Resurrección, it heals all minor wounds " Rex explained to Suigetsu ad his forehead wound starts healing up.
" I see, guess i need to try harder then ! " Suigetsu stated.
" You can't win,you wield a sword that has no spiritual pressure " Hex replied as Suigetsu stills ashes his face leaving a gash there.
" You're transformation isn't all that tough ! " Suigetsu arrogantly bragged .
" Fuck you ! " Hex shouted as he swings two of his word arms can clashes with Suigetsu and manages to push Suigetsu back a few feet into a tree.
" Not a bad attack but you need to do better than that " Suigetsu arrogantly bragged.
Hex
" Time to show you my true power, Hierro Cuerda (Spanish for Iron Rope ) " Hex chanted as he shoots web form his mouth and traps Suigetsu to the tree.
" Crap i can't move ! " Suigetsu shouted as he struggle to break out.
" Hierro Cuerda (Spanish for Iron Rope ) traps my enemies in a web 5 times stronger than steel and nullifies all energy based attacks and leaves you helpless " Hex explained to Suigetsu as he charges up Cero.
" Shit ! " Suigetsu shouted as he struggles to break free.
" Time to finish this ! " Hex shouted as he fires a Cero at Suigetsu.
" ARRGH ! " Suigetsu screamed as the Cero destroys everything within a 600 foot radius.
" That showed him ! " Hex shouted only to see the smoke clear up to see Suigetsu standing with only a small burn on his shirt.
" Whoa, that attacked charred my shirt a bit ! " Suigetsu said to Hex .
" Impossible, you tanked my Cero with barely a starch " Hex shouted shocked to see Suigetsu uninjured.
" Now time to stop kidding around and get serious already . I'm through playing around " Suigetsu stated as he holds his blade with two hands.
" How is this possible ? " Hex shouted as he sees Suigetsu come at him
" Time to give you a beatdown ! " Suigetsu said to Hex as he approaches him faster, this time moving at supersonic speeds Hex then doesn't see Suigetsu as he reaches hypersonic speed.
" Shit he's moving too fast ! " Hex shouted only to be cut in half by Suigetsu.
" Sorry but you were hardly worth a fight ! " Suigetsu smiled as he slashes through the Hollow with ease.
" ARRRGH ! " Hex screamed as falls to the ground and disintegrates.
" Sasuke ! Get your ass over here right now " Suigetsu shouted only to see Sasuke appear .
" What is it Suigetsu ? " Sasuke asked the waterboy.
" You think i'm so weak that i couldn't handle a few third rate swordsmen and a thousand weak ass soldiers ? " Suigetsu shouted.
" I see, you wanted a real challenge to your skills ? " Sasuke said to Suigetsu.
" I want to fight you right now , let's go at it . I need to fight someone who's worth sharpening this blade " Suigetsu stated as he points his sword towards Sasuke.
" Very well then ! " Sasuke replied as he draws out his sword.
" Allow me to show you how strong i really am Suiton: Gōsuiwan ( 水遁・豪水腕の術Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique ) " Suigetsu chanted as his arm grow 3 times his original size.
" What is that ? " Sasuke asked.
" By putting the Hydrification Technique into practical use, the muscles of the arm are temporarily enlarged and strengthened. Moisture is gathered from the body and compressed into the entire arm, like an instant pump-up. However, because it is essential to properly control the moisture balance inside the body, this technique's degree of difficulty is very high but well worth it " Suigetsu explained to Sasuke as he swings his sword with both hands and creates a shockwave leveling everything within a 600 foot radius leveling 1,600 trees nearby.
" Excellent strength , let's see how well you do against this " Sasuke said to Suigetsu as he dashes at the water man.
" Take this ! " Suigetsu replied as he charges at Sasuke and clashes attacks .
Sasuke and Suigetsu dash at each other and clash blades creating a massive 2,000 foot radius explosion leveling 50,000 trees however Suigetsu goes down within a single blow because of the lightning around Sasuke's blade.
" Damn, you electrified your your blade. I didn't think you can do that " Suigetsu said to Sasuke.
" I must say, you're very powerful , you have alot of potential ! " Sasuke said to Suigetsu.
Suddenly Bulbous G and Numb Chandelier appear to Sasuke.
" Master is this guy with us ? " Bulbous asked.
" Yes, if you guys fail , you would be like Hex understood ? " Sasuke said to his Fracción .
" Right ! " Numb and Bulbous replied.
"So what are you going to do now ? " Suigetsu asked.
" We search for Karin ! " Sasuke answered as he walks with his group.
Meanwhile 25 miles away from Tenzen's castle
Meanwhile 25 miles away a young woman takes out a large man easily with a punch to the gut. The young woman has red eyes and red hair . Her hair short and spiky on the right side, while longer and straight on the left side giving half her hair the appearance of being unkempt on one side, while the other side is. She wears brown glasses, which have a serrated blade hidden in them, and her outfit consists of a lavender uniform common for Orochimaru's subordinates, short black shorts, and long black thigh high stockings with black sandals.
" Just because Orochimaru's dead doesn't mean that you can go around getting in our way " the young woman said to the prisoner.
" She's too strong ! " the prisoner said to himself before passing out.
Suddenly the young woman senses the Chakra heading towards her from such a distance.
" There are 4 Chakras, one i don't recognize but seems very evil but hardly a threat to me. That one is a woman with some strange sword and isn't human, more like an evil spirit. The second Chakra is some large man that also seem like an evil spirit too, nothing notable except for his muscles . The third one has a nasty scent , i wish i never sensed that one but the last one, it's him it's really him..Wait a second what's going on with his Chakra, it has no physical body, it's like Sasuke has become a ghost or a Bijuu . I just hope he isn't really dead " the young woman said to herself.
Mayuri's Lab
Mayuri and his crew are fixing the lab from Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshō.
" Damn that bastard for setting me back !" Mayuri shouted as he struggles to repair the lab.
" It's going to take a while longer to fix the lab Captain Kurotsuchi " Akon said to his Captain.
" When i get my hands on that Kurosaki, i'm going to painfully disceet him for causing me to lose a week of data " Mayuri stated.
" Master Kurotsuchi, what are you going to do about the weapons you need to make ? " Nemu asked.
" Yamamoto would have to wait, i can't manufacture anything for the militia at that point " Mayuri replied.
Runokgai
Byakuya and Soifon are trying to recruit powerful fighters into the ranks throughout the Runkogai. Byakuya and Soifon are sparring attacks with each others sword.
" Look at those two go ! " one of the recruits said to another.
" Those two are Captains after all ! " another recruit replied.
" Soifon of the Fong clan and Byakuya Kuichiki of the Kuichiki clan fighting each other " one of the recruits stated.
" Indeed, this is quite the show ! " another recruit replied as the sword battle end.
" That's enough for now Byakuya, i think they're impressed by our skill " Soifon said to Byakuya.
" Indeed, those who are willing to join to militia , please sign up " Byakuya said to the recruits.
Southern Hideout
3:00 P.M. Suigetsu and Sasuke arrive at the island where the base is at . Sasuke is walking on the air while Suigetsu is walking on the water.
" That town was full of idiots, they didn't notice you at all and that monster you sent out was a real moron. He was saying crap that he was a ghost yet he died before i can have anymore fun " Suigetsu said to Sasuke.
" Actually Suigetsu there is something i should tell you " Sasuke replied.
" What is it ? " Suigetsu asked.
" I'm a ghost ! " Sasuke answered.
" Stop bullshiting me, you don't look any different from a normal human " Suigetsu stated.
" I'm serious, i'm what's called a Shinigami ! " Sasuke replied.
" Please, you a death god,you're hilarious. Last time i checked, you could still die like the rest of us " Suigetsu said to the Uchiha survivor.
" Well you're right about that, maybe death god isn't a very accurate name. Maybe death angel is more like it " Sasuke responded.
" What ? " Suigetsu asked.
" Notice why no one seemed to notice me at all even though i was everywhere ? That's because in this form i'm in now, i can't be detected by a normal human " Sasuke explained to Suigetsu.
" Is that's all your form does ? " Suigetsu questioned the Uchiha survivor.
" It was very useful to go into small villages without ninjas unnoticed, as you see i'm being hunted by the 5 nations . Anything that would help me escape capture would be helpful " Sasuke explained to Suigetsu.
" Not a bad idea though what about the ninja's that can clearly see you like me ? " Suigetsu asked.
" I have this ! " Sasuke replied as he creates a Garganta where Bulbous G and Numb Chandelier.
" I see, that's how you get around !" Suigetsu said to Sasuke.
" This is great for dimensional escape ! " Sasuke replied.
" So who's up to fight our next target ? " Numb asked.
" That would be you, do your best not to let me down " Sasuke answered.
" No problem master ! " Numb stated.
" Get going ! " Sasuke commanded as she goes away from Sasuke.
Sasuke and Suigetsu look at the small 1,000 foot diameter island where the hideout is at .
" Boy this island doesn't have much guards " Suigetsu said to Sasuke.
" Karin doesn't need guards, she's powerful enough to contain them " Sasuke replied.
" This seems too strange. Even with her guarding the prison, you would think more noise would be made about Orochimaru's death " Suigetsu answered.
" Karin runs a tight ship here, she might not be as strong as us but she's strong enough to contain the prisoners on this island all by herself "Sasuke stated,
" I remember that bitch well, she's going to be tough ! " Suigetsu replied.
" Indeed, that's why she's qualified to be in our group ! " Sasuke responded.
" Why are you gathering so many people ? " Suigetsu asked.
" I have a goal . A platoon will be more effective at closing in on that goal . After killing Orochimaru, i decided to get a handful of powerful shinobi to act as my bodyguards " Sasuke explained to Suigetsu.
" If that's the case, i don't see why we're bothering with me , she's Orochimaru's bitch. She's been devotedly rounding up research subjects for him and is known as Miss Jailer for the Southern Hideout. Most importantly, she's a real bitch and i can't stand her at all . Karin isn't even all that strong, she's only Special Jōunin level at most " Suigetsu ranted.
" Well it's true there are plenty of strong fighters out there, she has a unique and special power that no one else has " Sasuke stated.
" Well, i'll at least acknowledge that! " Suigetsu replied.
Karakura Town
Tatsuki walks home with Kon and Ririn who are posing as Ichigo and Orihime.
" So you think this Kisuke guy can help me unlock my powers ? " Tatsuki asked Kon.
" He's helped Chad and Orihime unlock they're hidden potential " Kon answered.
" Kisuke is a great teacher. He'll defiantly be able to help out " Ririn stated.
" How do you think Ichigo became so strong ? " Kon replied.
" So this Kisuke guy really is that powerful ? " Tatsuki asked.
" Yep , he's the one who made me this strong " Chad answered as he appears in front of them as well as Uryū.
" You guys, what are you doing here ?" Tatsuki asked.
" Chad agreed to escort you guys safely " Uryū answered.
" I was going to train to get stronger " Chad stated.
" That's great , we were worry that Hollows would come after us " Ririn replied.
" Good , i got to train to get stronger too ! " Uryū responded .
Back at the Southern Hideout
Sasuke and Suigetsu arrive at the gate of the prison .
" Let's get through this gate ! " Sasuke said to Suigetsu.
" But you have a sword too ! " Suigetsu replied.
" So do you ! " Sasuke responded.
Suigetsu walks towards the iron door and takes out his sword.
" Open sesame ! " Suigetsu shouted as he easily cuts down the iron door with his sword.
Suigetsu cuts down the gate and Sasuke goes to Karin. After walking around the prison , Sasuke encounters the young woman with red hair.
" So you finally came, so the rumor is true after all " said the young woman.
" Looks like the bitch has things under control ! " Suigetsu replied.
" What was that ? " the young woman shouted as she grabs Suigetsu but Sasuke pushing them away from each other.
" Karin , may we speak in private ? " Sasuke asked the young red-haired woman.
" Sure thing Sasuke ! " Karin answered as she goes into the room with Sasuke and locks the door.
" Now for the first rule of business ! " Sasuke said to Karin.
" Are you alive Sasuke or are you a clone of Sasuke ? " Karin asked Sasuke.
" What you mean ? " Sasuke asked back.
" You have no physical body or rather you body is entirely made of Chakra " Karin answered.
" You noticed that fast ? " Sasuke questioned the red-head.
" You appear to be human to a normal Shinobi but in reality, you're actually undead " Karin replied.
" I see, impressive you noticed Chakra patterns faster than a Sharingan user " Sasuke said to Karin.
" You're Chakra is very are two elements of normal Chakra, Spiritual Energy and Physical they only seem to have only spiritual 's almost like you're a ghost but at the same seem to have a human body and even appear to be alive " Karin explained to Sasuke.
" So you realize that i'm a soul now ? " Sasuke asked the red-haired woman.
" You're body is composed of spirit particles instead of a way there bodies of Charka similar to that of a tailed beast, there essentially living Charka only Shinobi can see " Karin explained to Sasuke.
" You're Chakra sensing skills are among the best i have ever encountered, come with me Karin, i need you " Sasuke said to Karin.
" Why would i go with you ? I need to watch this place " Karin asked .
" Orochimaru is dead, i killed him " Sasuke answered.
" What about the prisoners ? " Karin asked.
" It seems you have been killing prisoners. There are far less than last time,also there seemed to be some recently dug holes in the courtyard. You're work with this hideout is most impressive " Sasuke explained to Karin.
" It wasn't easy, guarding these animals is a dozy " Karin stated .
" Suigetsu, leave this area at once and wait outside " Sasuke commanded .
" Right ! " Suigetsu replied as Karin locks the door and them comes on to Sasuke.
" Sasuke, i would love to come with you " Karin said to Sasuke as she gets closer to him.
" You changed your mind very fast! " Sasuke said to Karin.
" Let's leave this loser Suigetsu behind ! " Karin replied.
" He's my sword hand and you're my sensor . I need the both of you to complete my team " Sasuke said to Karin denying her request.
" Come on Sasuke , he's an immature asshole who smells like week old fish " Karin ranted only for Sasuke to grab her face and feel on it .
" Can you make an exception for me ? " Sasuke asked as he goes to kiss her but suddenly Numb Chandelier attacks and knocks down the door. Karin pushes Sasuke out of the way and draws out a Tantō ready to fight.
" So you finally revealed yourself, i knew i sensed a Chakra worse than Suigetsu and alot weaker too " Karin said to Numb.
" How dare you call me weak ? I'm Arrancar #80 Numb Chandelier, you have some nerve calling me weak human " Numb replied shouting.
" Come at me old woman ! " Karin arrogantly taunted.
" Very well then time to... " Numb stated only to be cut off by Karin.
" Do you think controlling the prisoners is enough to take me on ? Don't make me laugh " Karin replied.
" Wait , how did you ... ? " Numb shouted shocked to hear the news.
" You're too predictable, you power level is just too low to pose a threat " Karin stated.
" Get her ! " Numb replied as 150 prisoners surrounding Karin with a bunch of weapons.
" Is this all you can do ? " Karin replied as she goes to fight the guys off. She uses Shunshin to knock all of them out.
" You bitch, you attacked your own comrades without even thinking about it " Numb shouted.
" They're not my comrades retard, they're prisoners on this island " Karin responded.
" Take this ! " Numb shouted as she fires a Cero towards Karin but the red-haired Kunoichi dodges the attack.
" What a weakass attack, i didn't even need to dodge it " Karin arrogantly taunted as she stands there .
" Fuck, i guess i need to show you my true form and put you in my place . Constrict Medusa ( Spanish for Jellyfish ) " Numb chanted as she uses her Resurrección to gain 12 tentacles on her back.
" What the hell ? " Karin shouted.
" You see this form ? It makes me 5 times stronger than the form you were just fighting " Numb answered as she turns invisible and attacks Karin with tentacles but Karin dodges the tentacles as they easily smash apart walls.
" She's gotten faster and stronger and she can turn herself invisible " Karin said to herself.
" How can she dodge my attacks ? My Resurrección makes me completely invisible. Not even an Arrancar's Pesquisa can see through it " Numb said to herself.
" Quit hiding, i can see you perfectly " Karin shouted as she throws a kunai which cuts the side of Numb's check .
" Damn you ! " Numb shouted.
" If you're curious to know how i can see you , my Kagura Shingan can see anything " Karin said to Numb.
" What are you talking about ? " Numb asked.
" Kagura Shingan ( 神楽心眼 Mind's Eye of the Divine Entertainment ). This ability allows me to find, sense, and track individuals through their Chakra over vast range that exceeds ten kilometers, This is done by focusing and opening the mind's eye . The ability extends to telling when a person is lying from the fluctuations in a person's Chakra made from dishonest emotions or detecting if someone, including myself, is under a Genjutsu. Also by focusing on a particular Chakra, i can perceive its location and movement with great detail " Karin explained to the Arrancar.
" Over 10km ? So you can sense me that far ? " Numb asked.
" Yep , i had everything planned out from the start " Karin answered only to see sees herself with 150 LV2 curse mark prisoners all with different animal looking forms.
" So have i little girl ! " Numb laughed as they all come towards Karin.
" They activated their level 2 curse forms . Now i have to kill everyone in prison " Karin said to the Arrancar.
" You see i can even activate the full power of the people i control, therefore all there abilities belong to me,you're dead human " Numb explained to Karin.
Meanwhile outside the hideout Sasuke is watching sitting in the air while Suigetsu is in the water.
" How do you sit up in the air like that ? " Suigetsu asked .
" Oh,that's just an air version of walking on water, it's alot easier than it looks " Sasuke answered.
" I must say , these Arrancars suck ass . Even that weakling Karin can kick her ass " Suigetsu stated.
" Don't underestimate Karin . While she lacks in physical strength, her cunning and her abilities to sense and even detect attack levels and figure out weaknesses make her almost as dangerous to fight as the Sound Four. Karin wouldn't be trusted to guard an island full of Genin and Chūnin with lv2 curse marks if she was weak " Sasuke explained to Sasuke .
Back at the prison Karin is surrounded by the prisoners.
" Time to end you bitch ! " Numb shouted.
" Bring it on ! " Karin replied as she goes to attack the horde.
All the prisoners come at her with lv2 curse mark . Karin punches and kicks one down killing the first one and evades a claw slash that almost hit her. One of the prisoners come at Karin with tentacles but s he manages to cut then with her Tantō. Karin uses Shunshin to kill 30 prisoners with a roundhouse kick. Karin dodges another claw aimed at her back and kills 55 of them with senbon. Karin kills 35 more with punches through the chest and then kills the last 35 with exploding tags. All the prisoners have been killed off and the base took some heavy damage from the inside and Karin is only lightly injured.
" Impossible , i never met a bitch heartless enough to kill off that many people. Very well then i will just hide and use this Cero to blow up that bitch " Numb said to herself as he charges up a cero from each of her 12 tentacles and lightning covers them.
" What is she planning now ? " Karin said to herself.
" Cero Rayo Picadura( Spanish for Zero Lightning Sting) " Numb chanted as she shoots 12 triangle-shaped beams of purple light at Karin.
" SHIT ! " Karin shouted as she's hit by 12 lightning blasts that each crate an explosion leveling everything within a 300 foot radius.
The blast combine splash damage level the entire island hideout and cave in the small hills around them.
" Karin ! " Suigetsu shouted.
" Don't worry , Karin isn't going down so easily ! " Sasuke replied as he stands there calmly as he looks at the wreckage of the base.
Back at the base, Karin is shown to have a hole through her chest and burned to crisp by Numb's Cero.
" Looks like she is dead, that was my strongest attack ! " Numb said to herself only to see the clone disappear and the real Karin emerges out with an energy barrier protecting her body.
" Is that all you got ? " Karin asked Numb.
" Impossible ! I hit her with everything i got, still at least she can't see me from this distance. I'm using my full power to cloak myself " Numb said to herself as she hides in the water 1 mile away only to see Krin rushing towards her at the speed of sound.
" There you are ! " Karin shouted as she goes underwater and kicks Numb out of the water forcing the Arrancar to go into the air and files to the island.
" You might be able to block my attacks and evade my Cero and predict my moves however ... " Numb said to Karin only to see a flashbomb hit her and causes her to fly to the base blind.
" You talk too much ! " Karin said to Numb only to see energy chains around her and she's covered and binded down.
" WHAT DID YOU DO ? " Numb shouted.
" Using the Mind's Eyes technique, i can find you exact weak points and cut you off your Chakra flow with these senbon . You're powerless against me " Karin explained to Numb.
" Time to end this ! " Karin said to Numb as she reveals to have constructed 20 landmines within the base with Chakra tags on them . Karin places a tag on Numb's head.
" When did you set this up ? " Numb asked Karin.
" When i sensed your presence , i knew you were after me so i set up this trap to get rid of you and go with Sasuke . I originally had this planned days ago hoping to destroy this prison and escape in the arms of Sasuke " Karin explained to Numb.
" You crazy bitch ! " Numb shouted.
" This is for Sasuke ! " Karin shouted as she drops a lighter and drops it on the ground spreading towards the landmines.
" You put Gasoline on the chains , damn you " Numb shouted.
" Goodbye ! " Karin shouted as she rushes out of the base and evades the explosion.
" ARRGH ! " Numb screamed in terror as she burns alive and turns into ashes causing a massive explosion destroying everything within a 300 foot radius,Numb dies in the blast.
Sasuke and Suigetsu look at the explosion from a close distance and look at Karin knocked down from the shockwave but is uninjured by the blast given she's far from the explosion.
" Looks like she did it ! " Sasuke said to Suigetsu.
" Cunning attack. She really went all out to impress you Sasuke " Suigetsu replied.
" You liked how i did Sasuke ? " Karin asked Sasuke.
" Very impressive Karin ! " Sasuke answered.
" Looks with the prison destroyed, i don't need to guard this place anymore " Karin stated as she puts her arms on Sasuke.
" Next stop , Jugō's hideout ! " Sasuke said to the team.
" What ? " Karin shouted.
" Tell me you're joking around Sasuke " Suigetsu said to the Uchiha survivor.
" Jugo is a monster , he's impossible to control ! " Karin shouted.
" Tell me about it, he's the one who went to get himself locked up and he's located in a prison filled with former Special Jōunin and high level prisoners " Suigetsu explained to Sasuke.
" All the reason we need him more ! " Sasuke replied.
Meanwhile at Kisuke's Shop
Kisuke is at the shop with Soifon there .
" You made it in time Chad " Soifon said to Chad.
" Shall we resume our training ? " Chad asked.
" Sure thing , i would enjoy teaching you the ways of improving your fighting abilities " Soifon answered.
" Have Kon and Ririn been behaving in school ? " Kisuke asked Tatsuki.
" Yes they been fine, no one aside from Chad and Uryū notice a thing " Tatsuki answered.
" Good job guys , Tatsuki make sure to keep an eye on them " Kisuke said to the raven haired Shinigami.
" I have a question to ask you " Tatsuki said to Kisuke.
" What do you want ? " Kisuke asked.
" I want to be as powerful as Ichigo and his friends " Tatsuki answered.
" Really , well i'm sorry but i can't help you " Kisuke stated.
" Wait why not ? " Chad asked.
" Kisuke , is forbidden to transfer powers to a human " Soifon answered.
" That's right, it's an illegal process that might end your life " Kisuke explained to Soifon.
" If Kisuke was to do that process, he can end up being behind bars or even with the death penalty " Soifon stated.
" But Ichigo was able to gain powers and he didn't die " Tatsuki stated.
" It was a 1/1,000,000 th chance that he even gained that power and even then it has brought us problems. We can't allow the same mistake to happen only on a far larger scale " Soifon explained to Tatsuki.
" Besides, Ichigo has barely controlled the full extent of his power. It's been 5 months since he gained these powers from Rukia, he's still in need of greater improvement. It would take far too much time for us to train you. It would take 5 months of training just to make you on par with a Captain and that's being generous , there's going to be a full-scale within the winter. It's barely enough time to make you strong enough to be a valuable asset even if we were allowed to do it " Kisuke explained to Tatsuki.
" Damn it, you're telling me that i can't do anything to save my best friend ? " Tatsuki asked with tears on her eyes.
" I'm sorry but it's for the best you try living the life of a normal human and hope that your friends can rescue Orihime " Kisuke said to Tatsuki.
" I'm sorry Tatsuki, i was looking forward having you fight at our side " Chad said to Tatsuki.
" I guess i can't do anything to save my friends can i ? " Tatsuki asked Chad with a sad look on her face.
" Don't worry we'll bring Orihime back here alive and unharmed " Chad replied as Tatsuki walks out of the store.
" Tatsuki ! " Kon shouted as he rushes after her .
" Kon wait up ! " Ririn shouted as she runs after him.
" We'rent you two too harsh to her ? " Chad asked.
" Sorry Chad but it's the only way to avoid her getting herself killed " Soifon answered.
" But surely there must be a way for her to reach Captain level , i was able to reach close to it " Chad stated.
" That's because you had those powers much longer than her . There are only less than 3 months left , we can't work miracles " Kisuke replied.
" Besides just because she can see spirits doesn't mean that she can survive the transferring of powers. Ichigo was a rare case and one of the few in history who survived that process. We'll be pushing our luck big time if we allow the same thing to happen and whoever is responsible for the process would be jailed " Kisuke explained to Chad.
" Sorry Chad , i appreciate wanting your friend to help you but she's worlds apart from us and even if we do allow the power to be transfer, she wouldn't be useful. With the attack on Karakura Town by the Akatsuki and the emergence of the Arrancars and Espadas , we need more Captain level fighters now than ever " Soifon explained to Chad.
" I see, then i should begin my training " Chad stated.
" So where's Uryū ? " Soifon asked Chad.
" He's training with his father ! " Chad answered.
Karakura Hospital
Uryū is within the secret room with Ryūken dodging arrows.
" Dad , i have a question ! " Uryū said to Ryuken.
" You've become used to calling me that by now " Ryūken said to his son.
" I wonder if it's possible to transfer powers to another human " Uryū asked his father,
" Let me guess, you want to give it to that Tatsuki girl " Ryūken answered.
" How did you know about her ? " Uryū asked.
" I'm aware of that because Kisuke asked me earlier and the answer is no " Ryūken explained to Uryū.
" Why not ? " Uryū asked.
" It's obvious. A human can't be made into a Quincy , they must be born from the blood of a Quincy. There's no way you can give her powers without killing her. It's best you forget her and focus on getting stronger " Ryūken explained to Uryū.
" I guess you have a point dad ! " Uryū replied as he continues to train with his father.
Meanwhile at Kisuke's shop
Soifon trains Chad to get stronger within the underground training ground. Chad using both his armored arms charges towards Soifon who';s in her Shikai
" El Directo " Chad shouted as he fires the blast from his right hand but it misses only to feel a sting on his right arm.
" You're far too slow Chad , you can't hope to tag me with such a slow technique " Soifon shouted as she kicks Chad into a 20 foot rock formation and shatters it.
" Damn, i can't even follow her movements. She's much faster than even Ichigo " Chad said to himself.
" Get back up, you're pathetic . You're moves are too sluggish, i can easily evade them without a problem at this point and it seems you can't even follow my moves as well . Even the slowest Captain can at least react to my movements with enough effort, the fact you can't show how you've yet to achieve the title Captain level " Soifon explained to Chad.
" If that's the case, then allow me to achieve that strength " Chad replied as he charges at Soifon only to see her disappear and hit again in the right arm and his arm glows red.
" I hit you two times in the same spot, if i was going to kill you i would've done it by now " Soifon said to Chad as she negates her crests on his arm and Chad dropped to his knee.
" It seems like you're coming at me much harder than Renji " Chad stated.
" Renji can't ever compare to me, i'm a Captain, he's a novice with a Bankai that's all. You're training is going to be tough and rigorous but when you're done, you would've earned the right to be compared to a Captain " Soifon explained to Chad.
" If that's the case, then i must continue to get stronger for Ichigo " Chad stated.
" That's the spirit Chad, let's push that body beyond it's human limits " Soifon replied as they resume training.
" Ichigo, i'll get stronger to fight on your side again. Just wait until you see " Chad said to himself as he goes to fight Soifon.
1 mile of the Northern Hideout
4:00 P.M. Suigetsu ,Karin and Sasuke arrive at the northern hideout 200 miles northwest near the Land of Earth border.
" Hey aren't you guys tired ? " Suigetsu asked them as he's worn out from the trip and drinks some water.
" Don't be such a whiny bitch ! " Karin shouted as she smacks him on the head only to get worn out.
" Let's stop the fighting and focus on getting Jugō ! " Sasuke said to his teammates.
" I don't know your goals but why do you need Jugō ? " Karin asked.
" I fought that monster once before , if you think you can control him you're sadly mistaken " Suigetsu explained to Sasuke.
" We should really reconsider this ! When he snaps, he becomes a monster that thinks of nothing other than destruction and death, a contrast to his peaceful personality in his normal state " Karin stated.
" All the reason we need him on our team ! " Sasuke replied.
Meanwhile at the Northern Hideout
A tall, lean-built young man who, has spiky orange hair, red-orange eyes and a calm face. He has a bracket-shaped symbol on his left palm sits in the cage.
" A guy, nah definitively a girl ... who am i going to kill today ? " the young man said to himself.
At the entrance of the Northern Hideout
Sasuke and his team are 400 meters from the prison where Suigetsu sits down to drink.
" You're so lazy, we're less than 1,600 feet from the prison entrance " Karin scolded.
" Shut up ,i need a drink ! " Suigetsu replied.
" Why are you even working with Sasuke ? " Karin asked the waterboy.
" I can ask you the same thing , what are your goals ? " Suigetsu answered with a question.
" I don't know what you two are trying to accomplish but apparently you need Jugō for this operation " Karin stated.
" I heard rumors Jugō jailed himself on his own free will. Is that true Karin ? " Sasuke asked Karin.
" Jugō had a insatiable addiction that caused him to go on a killing spree. His own Chakra is so immense that he couldn't control it so whenever he loses control of it, he morphs into a monster and then becomes a berserk manic obsessed with killing and destruction. Jugō's power was so rare and immense that it eventually caught Orochimaru's eye. Orochimaru used his blood to create a special enzyme that would make a normal Shinobi 10 times stronger, you're aware what that is Sasuke ? " Karin explained to Sasuke.
" The curse seal ! " Sasuke responded only to see 200 prisoners already at Lv2 curse form.
" This is going to be a problem ! " Suigetsu said to the group.
" I know, the monsters in the southern hideout don't even compare to these monsters ! " Karin replied.
" All of them are High Chūnin level to Special Jōunin level , these guys are going to be a real problem " Suigetsu stated.
" Allow me to handle this ! " Sasuke replied as he walks towards the monsters.
" Fresh meat ! " the prisoners shouted as they all charge towards Sasuke.
" Does he have a deathwish ? Not even he can take on that many by himself " Suigetsu said to Karin.
" Sasuke look out ! " Karin shouted only to see Sasuke draw his sheathe partially.
Within a split second all the monsters are cut to pieces with a single airslash as well as 2 five story high rocks.
" His attack was so fast , it easily shredded all the prisoners with the air pressure of his sword. I couldn't even see him draw his sword " Suigetsu said to himself.
" This is completely different from the Sasuke i knew. Not only has he become more powerful, his Chakra seems far darker and more malevolent. Also Sasuke would of normally spared his enemies , is this really Sasuke ? The way he's acting, he's more like Orochimaru " Karin said to herself.
" Now to test Jugo's might . Bulbous, you're up " Sasuke said to the Arrancar as he comes out of the Garganta.
" You called ? " Bulbous asked Sasuke.
" Who's this guy ? I didn't even sense him. Is he one of those ghost you sent after me ? " Karin asked Sasuke.
" He's going to be the one to capture Jugō, right ? " Sasuke asked the Arrancar.
" Right, i'm not going to let you down ! " Bulbous G answered as he goes into the fortress.
Meanwhile inside the Hideout
Jugō with his face partially covered in the curse mark looks at bloodsoaked hand and smiles with a psychotic grin as he killed all the prisoners inside.
" I need more blood ! " Jugō shouted.
" Allow me to provide you more puny human " Bulbous shouted as he appears towards the brute.
" Who are you ? " Jugō asked the Arrancar.
" Arrancar# 81 Bulbous G, time to die human " Bulbous G answered as he throws a punch smacking Jugō 20 feet through walls.
" ARRGH ! " Jugō shouted .
" That was too easily , i didn't even need to break a sweat " Bulbous G laughed only to see Jugō unharmed from his punch and his right arm and his face grey.
" That was weak ! " Jugō shouted as he dashes towards Bulbous G.
" Shit, got to stop him ! " Bulbous shouted only to be punched through the hideout and hit the east end . Bulbous emerges out with his right arm gone.
" More, feed me more ! " Jugō shouted.
" Damn, i have no choice , Roar León ( Spanish for Lion ) " Bulbous G chanted as he releases his Zanpakutō He gains a form similar to Grimmjow but with muscles rivaling Yammy's prereleased state. Bulbous G regrows his arm thanks to his Resurrection .
" Bring it on ! " Jugō shouted as he charges at Leon.
" Garra de Leon Puno ( Spanish for Lion Claw Fist ) " Bulbous G chanted as he creates a massive every blast from the punch that destroys the entire northern hideout.
The smoke clears up only to see that Jugō hasn't received a single starch from Bulbous G's attack.
" You worm, that barely hurt ! " Jugō shouted as he gets back up .
" Impossible, how did you live ? " Bulbous G shouted.
" Time to crush you ! " Jugō shouted as he charges up Charka around his fist.
" Shit ! " Bulbous G shouted as he struggles to run but is hit by Jugō.
" DIE ! " Jugō shouted as he punches through Bulbous G and them once in his skull then alter his arm into a piston to increase his attack power and creates a powerful energy punch creating a 1,500 foot radius explosion killing Bulbous G.
" ARRGH " Bulbous screamed as he's vaporized from the force of the punch.
" RAWARGH, I WANT TO KILL MORE ! " Jugō shouted as he transforms both his arms into gray piston like clubs.
Meanwhile Sasuke , Karin and Suigetsu see Jugō going on a rampage and smashing everything in his path.
" We got a problem !" Suigetsu said to Sasuke.
" He's transformed partially into his level 2 curse form " Karin stated.
" I know, we have to deal with him ! " Sasuke replied as he draws his sword.
" You're the first to die ! " Jugō shouted as he comes at Sasuke moving at 7333.3 ft/sec (5,000 MPH)
" He's fast ! " Sasuke said to himself as he blocks a punch from Jugō with his right hand holding back the fist as the force levels everything around them pushing back Suigetsu and Karin back several feet away.
" What immense force ! " Suigetsu said to Karin as he blocks himself from the shockwave.
" How's Sasuke able to block Jugō's punch barehanded ? I don't remember Sasuke being this strong " Karin said to herself.
Jugō comes at Sasuke with a powerful punch but Sasuke dodges the punch while the blow shatters rocks with ease and goes to kick Jugō but Jugō blocks with his left arm. Sasuke however is smacked by Jugo's right hand into a wall.
" Sasuke ! " Suigetsu and Karin shouted as they see Sasuke through several rocks buried within them.
" More meat to pound ! " Jugō shouted as he dashes towards Karin.
" Shit , i don't have the time to react ! " Karin shouted as she's going to get punched in the face by Jugō.
" Suiton: Gōsuiwan ( 水遁・豪水腕の術Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique ) " Suigetsu chanted as his arms grow 3 times their size and blocks Jugō's punch with two hands on his sword.
" Suigetsu saved me ! " Karin said to herself as she watches Suigetsu push back Jugō and Sasuke get back up and kick Jugō into a pile of rocks.
" Thanks for saving our healer Suigetsu ! " Sasuke said to the waterboy.
" Don't mention it ! " Suigetsu replied.
" RAWWARRGH ! " Jugō roared as he transforms into a more powerful state.
Jūgo's skin turns dark and his sclera turn black. He also gains a black stripe running from the middle of his forehead and down the bridge of his nose. Jugō also becomes far more muscular and his fingernails and teeth grow sharper.
" This is bad! He's turned into his full powered Level 2 curse form " Karin said to the two.
" RAWWARGH ! " Jugō roared as he punches Suigetsu in the face and smashes him through a 200 foot high rock formation which shatters from the force of the blow.
" Suigetsu ! " Sasuke shouted as Jugō comes towards him.
" YOU'RE NEXT ! " Jugō shouted as he punches Sasuke causing a massive shockwave.
The shockwave levels everything within a 4,000 foot radius causing 20 rock formations to be smashed apart and causing Karin get sent flying but she's caught by Suigetsu who's transformed his body into a demon-like fish.
" Looks like you're okay ! " Suigetsu said to Karin.
" Shut up , i didn't need you to rescue me ! " Karin replied.
The smoke clears up to reveal Sasuke is holding back Jugō's punch with just the left-wing of his Curse mark level 2 however he's only partially transformed.
" What immense strength you got Jugō " Sasuke said to Jugō.
" I'll crush you ! " Jugō shouted as he tires to overpower Sasuke.
" I don't desire to fight you,i just want to talk with you " Sasuke said to Jugō as he wraps him with snakes.
" Another one like me ? It seems you can perfectly control the curse mark . You're the strongest person since Kimimaro that ever fought " Jugō said to Sasuke as he charges at him only to get punched in the face by Suigetsu who's now 50 feet tall and made of water entirely.
" Boy Jugō , you sure as hell didn't turn this form when we fought the last time " Suigetsu said to Jugō.
" We need to talk with him ! " Sasuke stated.
" Jugō only listens to force ! " Suigetsu replied.
" I remember you, you're Suigetsu . I'm going to enjoy killing you ! " Jugō shouted.
" Bring it on ! " Suigetsu replied as he holds sword within the inside of the water demon and that forms a giant 50 foot long water sword in portion to the demon shaped like the real one inside the dome. Suigetsu and Jugō clash attacks while Karin takes cover behind rocks.
" These guys are monsters , at this rate there going to kill each other off. Sweet, i hope both of them do kill each other, then it can just be me and Sasuke " Karin said to herself as she watches the two clash attacks.
" Come on, is that all you got ? " Jugō shouted as he turns his arm into an axe to block Suigetsu's hit.
" I've only gotten started ! " Suigetsu replied as he swings his water sword down in portion to swinging down his real sword and it chops a 200 foot high,50 foot wide plateau in half.
" That's the spirit ! " Jugō shouted as he swings down his axe hand and cuts a 500 foot high rock formation down with ease from the air pressure wave.
Both of them charge at each other only to see themselves wrapped up in snakes and have two Lightning enhanced Ceros pointing at both of them.
" Stop this right now , if you don't i'll have no choice but to kill the both of you " Sasuke said to them calmly.
" Holy shit ! What an unbelievable amount of murderous intent, no wonder he was able defeat Orochimaru ! " Suigetsu said to himself as he reverts back to
" Oh Sasuke you're the coolest ! " Karin said to herself.
" Shit, it happened again ! " Jugō shouted as he rushes back to his cell.
" Jugō we came to free you . Come with us " Sasuke said to Jugō.
" No i can't . I can't control the demon inside me. I don't want to kill anyone anymore . Just please leave me alone and leave or the demon would return " Jugō shouted as he sits in his cell.
" He's like Dr Jerkyl and Mr Hyde , one side of him is as gentle as an angel while the other side is a demon " Suigetsu stated.
" It's what i said before, he's a monster. No matter how hard he tires, he can't suppress the monstrous amount of Chakra within him " Karin explained to her teammates.
" Lock me away, i don't want to lose control again " Jugō stated.
" Listen i know you have a hidden power within you that you need to control and i know how to control it " Sasuke said to Jugō.
" You mean you can suppress this power ? Are you Sasuke Uchiha " Jugō asked.
" Yes i am the one known as Sasuke Uchiha " Sasuke answered.
" So you're the reincarnation of Kimimaro i heard about ? " Jugō questioned the Uchiha survivor.
" Yes , i would be your cage " Sasuke replied.
" So what are we going to do now ? " Karin asked Sasuke.
" All of you have passed the test with flying colors. Now we must find Orochimaru's base where most of the documents are kept " Sasuke answered.
" So that's what you're after ? " Suigetsu asked.
" Why Sasuke ? " Karin asked.
" I'll explain everything on the way but let's rest first. We need to heal up from the Chakra exhaustion " Sasuke answered.
Konoha
6:00 P.M. The shinobi of the hidden village has been deeply exhausted of their rigorous training throughput the village.
Meanwhile Sakura lies exhausted from her tough training with Tsunade and covered with bruises while Tsunade isn't starched at all.
" You did well for today Sakura , nice work but you need to try harder than that to get stronger " Tsunade said to Sakura.
" I must get stronger, i can't afford to be a burden to Naruto anymore . I'll try hard to become the strongest woman in the world " Sakura replied.
" Let's call it a day for now, all the raining would be pointless if you happen to die in the process " Tsunade replied.
Meanwhile Konohamaru struggles to walk around with the beads on which are still white
" What you doing Konohamaru ? " Ebisu asked.
" I'm going to get stronger ! " Konohamaru answered as he barely moves around.
" Don't you think you should remove the weights on your arms and legs ? You're not training anymore " Ebisu asked Konohamaru.
" If i move around with these weights long enough, they'll feel much lighter eventually. Even doing minor things like eating should be put with enough effort in order to get stronger " Konohamaru explained to Ebisu.
" I see, you have the same determination as Naruto. I guess there's no way of stopping you now " Ebisu replied.
Meanwhile Lee is doing advance training within the top of the Hokage mountain as he does pushups with 100 ton weights on each limbs. The weights look light but they're actually Iron Chakra weights.
" 8,999...9,000... 9,001... " Lee chanted as he does pushups however he falls to the ground deeply exhausted when Gai comes over also notably exhausted.
" Looks like you stepped up your training Lee. Increasing the weights to 100 tons is a good way to get stronger but you've done enough for the day " Gai said to Lee while worn out.
" Gai sensei , what got you worn out ? " Lee asked Gai as he touches his shoulder.
" AWWW. Lee don't touch me " Gai shouted.
" What happened Gai sensei ? " Lee asked his sensei.
" Trying to use the 7th gate damages your body greatly . I can't be touched for at least a few hours " Gai answered.
" Did you master the form already ? " Lee asked Gai.
" No, it's hard, even for me to master ! " Gai replied.
Meanwhile Ino, Shikamaru and Chōji try to get stronger perfecting the Ino Shika Chō formation on three 100 foot high rock formations however they still fail at it.
" Let's call it a day Shikamaru ! " Ino said to Shikamaru.
" It's 6:00 P.M. We need to rest ! " Shikamaru replied.
" We need to eat some delicious food ! " Chōji responded.
Meanwhile Neji with weights dodge Tenten's kunai and shuriken barrage with Tenten wearing a blindfold and weighted galunets
" Damn it ! " Neji shouted as he's grazed in the check by a kunai.
" Damn, that attack lacked the accuracy or force of my normal ones " Tenten stated as she struggles to move around her arms.
" Not bad hitting me with your bilndfold on " Neji said to Tenten.
" Not bad reflexes dodging the kunai ! " Tenten replied.
" We have a long way to go before we can surpass our level of power " Neji said to Tenten.
" Indeed but we need to do so to defeat Soul Society ! " Tenten replied.
Meanwhile Kakashi and Anko are on the ground both worn out from their training .
" That's enough for today ! " Kakashi said to Anko.
" I can't believe that there's a way to control my curse mark " Anko stated.
" Yes, there is . I was able to train Sasuke into harnessing his Curs Mark so he can maintain control. The power of that curse mar within your body can make a huge difference for the upcoming war " Kakashi explained to Anko.
" I know, question is , can i really master the curse mark in time ? " Anko replied with a question .
" If Sasuke was able to do it in less than a month, you should be able to do it too " Kakashi responded.
Meanwhile at Squad 6 barracks
Renji and Rukia struggle to fight against Sasakibe's Shikai with their Shikai and fall to the ground.
" That was 50 attempts , you guys are getting better but it's best you call it a day for now " Sasakibe said to the two Vice Captains.
" We're at our limit ! " Renji shouted.
" We had no idea you were this powerful " Rukia replied.
" Why is that you stood a Vice Captain all these years ? " Renji asked Sasakibe.
" Because i'm too loyal to be a Captain of the Soul Society !" Sasakibe replied.
Kasumiōji castle
7:00 P.M. Ibiki is within the house with the Kasumiōji clan where she's eating dinner with Rurichiyo Kasumiōji.
" So you're the new maid around here ? " the princess asked Ibiki.
" Yep i been tasked with doing whatever you want as long as i'm employed " Ibiki answered.
" Cool, i need anyone friend like Kenryū and Enryū " Rurichiyo stated.
" Yep my fair princess, we plan on having some fun tomorrow after you get home from school " Kenryū replied.
" Sweet i can't wait ! " Rurichiyo responded as she heads to her room after eating her dinner.
" So she's not to know anything about this ? " Ibiki asked Kenryu.
" Of course not, she's a kid. There's no telling what kind of drama it would bring to her if she learns people would kill her " Kenryū answered.
" Do you have any clue on who might be after the princess ? " Ibiki asked.
" There's a man named Kumoi Gyokaku , he's the one who handles the affairs of the Kasumiōji clan . Recently, several people have been assassinated , we believe he might be planning out these hits and might be trying to take the throne " Kenryū explained to Ibiki.
" So he's planning a Coup D'etat ? How are you sure it's him ? " Ibiki asked.
" Call it a hunch, all the people killed recently are those who disagree with him and lately Rurichiyo was almost killed by an exploding package bomb. Had we been a few minutes later, it would of blown up and killed her . We have no proof that he's behind it but he's one of our suspects " Kenryū explained to Ibiki.
" Well don't worry. I will capture the assassins and find out who's really after the princesses head ! " Ibiki replied.
Meanwhile at Mount Myobuku
Naruto struggles to use the toad oil to gather nature energy to form Senjustu but his right half of his body starts to turn into a frog.
" Shit ! " Naruto shouted as he starts turning into a frog when Fukasaku smacks him with his cane.
" That's the 15th time already, it's best you don't overdo it ! " Fukasaku said to Naruto.
" I'm not going give up until i get this right ! " Naruto stated only to be hit in the head by Fukasaku's staff.
" Don't rush things, you need to learn patience. Senjustu isn't something achieved right away , you need to spend alot of time and energy to learn this power. Rush it recklessly and you'll lose your life " Fukasaku explained to Naruto .
" Fine, i'll take a break ! " Naruto replied.
Meanwhile at the other side of the training ground. Hinata manages to climb up the 2,500 foot mountain while carrying 5 heavy rocks.
" Almost there ! " Hinata said to herself as she's about to walk up only to slip and fall down from the mountain peak but Shima catches Hinata.
" I must admit , you made it here further than any person in on your first try .Not since Jiraiya body have i seen anyone made it this far up the mountain " Shima said to Hinata.
" I won't stop at anything to get stronger so i can help protect Naruto " Hinata replied as she struggles to get up.
" I guess that's enough training for one day , a good nights rest and some fired caterpillars should make you feel better in the morning " Shima said to Hinata.
" More bugs to eat ? " Hinata said to herself as she passes out from the thought of eating bugs.
Meanwhile at the Vizard Hideout
Ichigo struggles to master his hollow powers as the chains bind to him . Ichigo manages to get his right arm solidified under his control however the right half is still hollowfying.
" Shit , i can't handle this ! " Ichigo shouted as he starts to go into his first Hollow form.
" Hachigen, dispel it ! " Shinji shouted as Ichigo's body starts to transform.
" Right ! " Hachigen replied as he dispels the chains and Ichigo goes back to normal.
" Damn, that was the 30th time today and i didn't even manage to sustain it for more than 5 seconds " Ichigo said to Shinji.
" That's enough for today Ichigo, you need to rest and get some nutrients in you. You're body has reached it's limits for the day " Shinji said to Ichigo
" I'm not giving up . I'm going to continue until i get this down " Ichigo shouted.
" There's no need to rush Ichigo, Orihime is safe for now " Kensei shouted.
" She's not safe as long as Aizen has her , there's no telling what he's planing to do with her " Ichigo stated.
" You reached your limit Ichigo. If you try to use that Hollow power again, you'll lose it entirely " Lisa replied.
" What ? What do you mean ? " Ichigo asked.
" Dumbass, you have no Reiatsu left " Hiyori answered as Ichigo reverts back to Shikai.
" If you try to go through that training, that Hollow would definitely take you over in your state " Rose said to Ichigo.
" Still i'm impressed that he can maintain Bankai for that long , i can only maintain my Bankai for at least 30 minutes. He went over 8 hours in his Bankai state " Love explained to the Vizards.
" Well Ichigo was always known for his stamina, after all he took on the current Kenpachi and survived and fought evenly with Captain Kuichki " Hachigen stated.
" Not to mention he defeated 5 Espadas singlehandedly " Mashiro replied.
" I guess i really do need a break . Still i wish there was a faster way " Ichigo said to Shinji.
" We have 3 months to go Ichigo. While it seems like a short amount of time, with your natural talent you can master that form before then " Shinji said to Ichigo.
" Right and once i do, i'm going to rescue Orihime again ! " Ichigo replied.

" Don't blame yourself , we did everything we can to give you powers be it doesn't seem possible " Kon stated.
" I know you guys did , i'm just tired of being left out ! " Tatsuki replied.
" What do you me by that ? " Ririn asked.
" Ever since Ichigo became a Shinigami, he's become more distant from me as well as well as Orihime " Tatsuki explained to Ririn.
" I see, that's why you wish to get powers " Kon stated.
" I want to rescue Orihime too but i just don't have the power within me to do so " Tatsuki replied.
" Don't blame yourself, if i was the one who had powers , i'll find a way to help you " Kon stated.
" I have powers , however there only that of illusions and can't be transferred at all " Ririn replied.
" I see, i'm guessing i have to hope everything goes well " Tatsuki responded.
" We'll be heading back now , see you tomorrow " Kon said to Tatsuki .
" Okay then ! " Tatsuki replied as he goes to bed.
Kasumiōji Clan Manor

" So you're the assassin ? " Ibiki said to the ninja .

" Over my dead body " Ibiki shouted as she kicks the ninja through the wall and sends him outside and jumps out of the window .
Both of them on the rooftop of one of the buildings.
" Who are you ? You're no maid " the ninja asked Ibiki .
