Chapter 67: Blazing Run...
(A/N: That's right the final arc of Bleach Shippuden officially begins now. Tatsuki being part of Ichigo's team is something I've planned for over 4 years prior to the story revival and now she's part of the main rooster, don't worry I will make sure she kicks plenty of ass within this story. Anyways without further delay, let's start the Soul Society War Arc, the arc where the last of the battles occur, the truth is finally revealed and new alliances are formed)
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or Naruto.
Kisuke's Shop, Karakura Town.
11:00 A.M. Ichigo is starting face to face with his closest childhood friend Tatsuki who was revealed to be the next person to have gained powers.
"When did you become so powerful?" Ichigo asked dumbfounded that Tatsuki had powers when she didn't appear to have it over a month ago.
"While you were busy planning your next big move, I also was planning to rescue Orihime...Looks like the results paid off." Tatsuki answered as she flexes her arms.
"Chad, Uryu...Did you know about this?" Ichigo asked them wondering whether they knew about Tatsuki having powers.
"To be honest, I found out the same way you did. I was so caught up with my own training with my father that I completely overlooked the possibility of Tatsuki gaining powers in the one-month time span." Uryu explained to Ichigo baffled by the revelation as well.
"What about you Chad? You trained in Kisuke's Shop, clearly you've must've of saw Tatsuki in the shop." Ichigo asked the tall silent giant.
"Haven't seen her train here either," Chad replied.
"That's because I trained her within the Soul Society," Yoruichi responded.
"You what? How? She's a human." Ichigo asked dumbfounded and confused that Tatsuki trained with a Shinigami despite not appearing to be one or fight like one.
"So are you and that didn't stop me from training you. Anyways I think Tatsuki should explain the details of how she's now going to help you get Orihime Back." Yoruichi answered stepping aside for Tatsuki to explain her backstory.
"So where to begin?" Tatsuki asked Ichigo with a rhetorical question.
Tatsuki's POV
It was another day in class when this happened, the event that changed my life forever. I saw some ninja jump from the lobby to the 3rd floor where our class was at wielding a sword with weird appendages on the hilt. It was called Bakkōtō which had flames covering the blade.
"What the hell?" I shouted horrified at seeing some ninja with a flaming sword come towards us. It was like I was in some kind of nightmare, it was hard to believe this was really happening
"Yikes, it's one of the assassins," Keigo shouted as the ninja comes towards them slowly with his blade touching the desk and setting it to the blaze, before I knew it, the classroom was engulfed in flames.
"What do we do?" Chizuru asked terrified from the sight she was seeing.
"Well here goes nothing!" Mizuro replied as he pulled out a handgun and aims it at the assassins head only to see the gun cut in half, how the hell he brought a gun to school or why is beyond my question.
"He's so fast!" Keigo shouted only to see the assassin behind him about to stab him, it was at that moment I acted and went to save my friends.
"Stay away from my friends!" I shouted as I kicked the Assiaia as hard as I could right in his face and knocked him into the chalkboard.
"What a kick!" Keigo shouted in joy happy to see me seemingly defeat the assassin but I knew that wasn't nearly enough to keep him down for long.
"There's no time for that, we all have to run" I responded telling them to leave as we jetted out of the classroom as we ran from the flame-wielding Bakkōtō monster who set the whole school ablaze.
We ran over 200 meters from the monster attacking us however we reached a dead end within the alley where the flaming Bakkōtō wielder came closer to us.
"Crap, we're done for! " Keigo shouted as piss drips down his leg.
"Run, I'll hold him off! " I shouted as I ripped out a pipe from the wall.
"Tatsuki, you stand no chance!" Chizuru shouted but I was in the zone, it was fight or die time.
"Shut up, I'm the strongest one here, I'll try to fight him off. Try finding help meanwhile" I replied, I was prepared to die to protect my friends.
"Let's go, guys, there isn't much we can do here" Mizuro stated knowing I was the only one who had any chance of fighting this monster off.
"Tatsuki don't!" Keigo shouted only to be grabbed by Mizuro as they run away from the monster as I blocked the flaming sword with the lead pipe.
"Tatsuki you fool!" Chizuru shouted as the lead pipe was melting in my hand.
"Damn it, the heat from his sword is burning my hands and melting the pipe" I shouted as the pipe melted from the intense heat and I gained second-degree burns just holding on to the melting pipe.
"RWAWARUGH!" the Bakkōtō wielder shouted as the monster goes to swing his sword.
It was at that moment, time froze, I couldn't feel anything, all I saw was the sword slowly coming towards me. I thought I died in that moment until I woke up within the Karakura General Hospital, Ryuken then appeared towards me revealing he was the one who saved me.
"You're still alive it seems. That was a nasty explosion you took there." Ryuken said to me who was treating my wounds.
"How did I survive?" I asked him shocked that I'm still alive.
"It seems you've become a superhuman without knowing it. When that explosion hit you, the explosion destroyed an entire city block but you were perfectly fine thanks to my efforts but a good amount of your body was hit by the explosive shockwave before I can set up another one, you survived at least 90 Pounds of TNT on your own. In other words, you gained powers." Ryuken explained to me explaining how I survived a second before he came along.
"Wait so you're saying is that.." I asked him.
"Something awakened within you or you gained powers via the influence of your friend Kurosaki, at the moment of your impending death, your willpower awakened and you gained powers from that incident," Ryuken explained to me explaining a rare chance that humans can obtain powers.
Tatsuki's POV
"And that's how I was able to become strong enough to be required training by Yoruichi. Thanks to Kisuke's special Snekaimon he used on you guys, I was able to enter the Soul Society and trained for the remainder of my time there with Yoruichi. Impressed on how fast I grew, she taught me a bunch of hands to hand fighting skills to increase my already immensely skilled powers and I tapped into my powers and that's why I'm here now." Tatsuki explained to Ichigo while they stand within the training grounds underground.
"Amazing, so you're saying that you've gained powers because of my spiritual energy about Keigo, Chizuru, and Mizurio?Are they affected by that as well." Ichigo asked his friend shocked at all the information he's gained within the last 5 minutes.
"Doesn't seem like it for what I'm aware of," Tatsuki answered.
"Doesn't matter, what's important is that we're all here together and now with all of us together, we can defeat the Shinobi and Arrancars and even Aizen. Now let's get going." Ichigo explained to his friends as he heads to the Senkaimon only for Kisuke to get in the way.
"I can't let you pass so easily!" Kisuke said to Ichigo getting in the way.
"Are you crazy? The Soul Society needs our help, why are you getting in our way?"Ichigo asked the former captain of Squad 12.
"You think it's a good idea to charge in headfirst into a war zone? This is no longer simple battles Ichigo, this is a war. You are wanted by the Shinobi Alliance, we need to plan things out and wait for further information before striking. Remember Las Noches? That was merely against an army of several hundred Arrancars, what thinks you can handle 100,000 Shinobis singlehandedly?" Kisuke explained to Ichigo ditching his usual comical persona with a much more serious one.
"You have a point, the battle of over hundred thousand Shinobi, no way we can fight that many numbers. I learned the hard way what it was like fighting an entire army when I attacked Las Noches to rescue Orihime. Fine, I'll wait here until I'm allowed to go to the Soul Society." Ichigo stated as he sits on a rock.
"I'll try contacting HQ again, see what's the deal with the battles going on,"Yoruichi replied as she goes to use the Soul Phone.
Seireitei
11:10 A.M.
Shinji, Kensei, Love, and Rose arrive within the Seireitei towards Yamamoto to fill in the positions of Captains left behind by the defection of Aizen, Gin, and Tousen. Shinji is wearing the Captain's robe of Squad 5, Kensei wearing the Captain's robe of Squad 9 and Love is wearing his old Squad 3 Captain's robe. They all are with the other Captains within the meeting awaiting official orders from Yamamoto.
"It seems all the Captains have gathered for the upcoming battles ahead," Yamamoto said to the captains notably stern in his tone.
"Can we skip the small talk and go and slash down some Shinigami?" Kenpachi asked impatiently waiting for Yamamoto's orders
"Idiot, this is a war, not your typical brawls you have, try actually waiting and following orders,"Soifon answered annoyed at the unprofessionalism of Kenpachi.
"What you expect from a commoner with no sense of decency?" Byakuya asked the raven-haired Captain of Squad 2.
"How about I get a warmup fighting you two?" Kenpachi stated wishing to fight the two captains.
"Remember, you guys are on ou the same sides right?"Unohana replied with her trademark smile which puts the three captains on chill.
"So what are your orders, Yamamoto?" Shunsui asked the captain with his usual laid-back tone.
"We are to assist the Shinigami of our surrounding countries. Mayuri has already done some intel on the enemy forces and their movement patterns." Yamamoto said to his Captains.
Mayuri reveals a projector that shows a hologram of the entire Soul Society and the 7 Continent-sized countries within the world.
"The Shinobi were quite clever to have thought up of making Senkiamon points around the borders of Aijano. The ninjas from Kirikagure captured the City of Tamashī Minato ( 魂港Soul Port ) with 1,200 of those forces heading North to the Seireitei and 50 Miles south of the Sand Soul Beach ( 砂魂ビーチ Sand Soul Beach) Enemy Forces have also assembled within the border city of Sunaōshanshiti (砂オーシャンシティSand Ocean City) 50 miles north of South Aijano and North Aijano and Tamashī Kamachi (魂課町Soul Divison City) 50 miles northeast of the Aijano/Kyōwakoku border." Mayuri explained to the group using the digital map.
"So you have any plans Shunsui?" Ukitake asked his old friend.
"Well, the 6 Division are to back up the forces repelling a Shinobi Invasion coming from the north within Tekkōno Machinotoko (鉄鋼の町の男Man of Steel City) 50 miles south of where Shinobi were detected to defend the city from falling. Hitsugaya's 10th Division are to also assist forces within the region. The 11th Division and 7th Division are to assist within an invasion force out west to halt their advance. The 3rd Division and 9th Division under Captains Rose and Kensei would take back Sand Soul Beach ( 砂魂ビーチ Sand Soul Beach) while the 5th Division would take back City of Tamashī Minato ( 魂港Soul Port ). Me and Uktiaike would assist in evacuations of people safely and protect shelters while Unohana would provide aid to the injured." Shunsui explained his plan to the Captain Commander.
"Very well then, we'll mobilize all divisions for warfare. If all else fails, I'll enter the battlefield. Mayuri make any and all preparations needed for the war effort and notify Kusuke that the Ryoka could aid us in this time of need." Yamamoto said to his forces with his commanding tone as everyone assembles to anticipate the next move from the Shinobi.
Tekkōno Machinotoko
11:15 A.M
50 miles south of Senkiamon point, Aijano, Konoha's forces are engaged in a battle against Shinigami within the abandoned city within the Soul Society. Naruto sees a Shinigami come at him with a blade but he blocks with a kunai and kicks the SHinigami rig inht the face knocking him out.
"Everything alright with you guys?" Naruto asked Kakashi who's dodging blades aimed at his face.
"Fine Naruto, we weren't expecting this many Shinigami already." Kakashi answered as he blocks incoming blades with his kunai.
Several Shinobi are injured from the wave of Kido Blasts being fired at the forces. Tsunade summons Katusyu to protect the injured while healing them.
"I'll take care of the injured, for now, if anything gets too out of hand, I'll step in and fight. I'm counting on you guys to deal with the threat ahead of us."Tsunade said to Kakashi as she puts more slugs on the injured shinobi.
"Very well then Lady Tsunade, leave it to us. We won't let you down!"Sakura replied with a cheerful disposition as she goes with Kakashi and Sai with Naruto.
"Sai, create an ink mouse and collect intel on whether the enemy positions are at and the level of defenses. Once we map out the city and its fortifications, we can begin the counter-attack against them." Kakashi said to Sai as he creates an Earthdome around 100 Shinobi and Tsunade to shield from the reign of Kido Blasts.
"How long is that dom going to hold up?" Teujimn asked Kakashi.
"At least an hour going by the durablity of the blast."Kakashi answered.
"We retreat for now and form a strategy that would take down that town's defense and set up camp there." Tsunade answered as her forces retreat back to the starting point.
Meanwhile at Kisuke's shop
Ichigo is impatiently waiting at Kisuke's shop when Kisuke comes to them.
"How long do we have to sit here?" Ichigo asked Kisuke.
"Funny enough you don't have to wait much longer. The Nabei Division has contacted me to bring you guys on to assist in a breakthrough of enemy lines so her forces can inteceprt any forces heading into the Seteriet." Kisuke explained to Ichigo's friends.
"Nanbei division? You mean the Gotei 13 of South America? "Uryu asked.
"That's right the same division that governs souls within South America." Kisuke answered.
"I see, so it's like what Kaien said back when we met, there are 7 divisions of the Soul Society's Gotei 13 after all." Ichigo stated.
" You guys are to follow the instructions of the Captain Commander, remember you're now officially part f the war effort, don't be doing anything reckless, especially for your sake Ichigo." Yoruichi explained to Ichigo staring at him.
"I'm not going to make the same mistakes a third time. Between Konoha and Las Noches, I've learned my lesson." Ichigo replied.
"Okay then, I already set up the coordinates to where you need to be within the Soul Society, just go into the Snekiamon and it should take you all there." Kisuke said to the team
"Are you coming along? "Tasuki asked Kisuke and Yoruichi.
"No we're working on strategies and plans right now, once we're finished, we'll tag along." Kisuke answered as he looks at some blueprints he's working on.
"Don't worry, with your training, you can do this."Yoruichi said to her students as they all enter the gate.
"We won't let you down." Ichigo replied as he goes into the gate with his friends.
Meanwhile within Tekkōno Machinotoko
Within the top of the fortress if one of the Captains protecting the city from the Shinobi offensive. 100 Shinigami are within a castle-like fortress shooting powerful kido blasts down below using powerful Kido Canons firing blasts like Alierarty canons.
One of the Captains who is in charge of the outpost is a woman of fairly average height with light brown skin with long, dark purple hair. She has bergère hat, long-sleeved white blouse tied at the neck with a small, dark purple ribbon, with frills decorating the sleeves, collar, and waist. long, purple skirt underneath. She's wearing a Captain's Haroi of the Sixtix Division of Gohsu.
"Looks like the enemy forces are pinned down as expected." Cornelia said to her mean as she holds her Zanpautko in her hilt.
"Captain Civornadon, what are the orders" a white-haired bunny girl woman asked with tan skin.
"Oh, you've appeared Captain Amalia Eglantine of Squad 13? About time, I want you and your forces to flank the enemy positions, given you're Zanpakuto is a range type, it's best you fighting the enemies from a distance." Cornelia explained to the white-haired bunny girl as her sister then appeared.
"So it seems we're going to have to come at the enemy hard this time?" said the smaller petite girl.
"Indeed Vaka, we have to. You're Zanpakuto is perfect for flanking enemies from above get a head start and start to break their enemy defenses. Where's Captain Avra and Captain Davinia ?"
She sees two Captains sparring with each other with swords with one of them using a large Broadsword like Zanpakuto and the other with a mid-sized claymore sword battling each other. One of them is a young short blonde hair guy of average size and build and the other is a large muscular man with a long beard and mustache and has piercings on his ears and nose and a sleeveless Haori with tattoos on his arms. The big brute is armed with the broadsword and the younger Captain has the claymore.
"Just admit defeat, you're not as skilled as I am young buck." the older large man said to the younger captain.
"You might be older than me, stronger than me and more experienced than me but you can't match my fighting spirit." the younger Captain replied as he goes to clash again but the leader gets between the both of them with her longsword.
"That's enough Captain Avra and Captain Davinia, we have work to do, you can settle your sparring squabbles later. Right now we got business to take care off." Corneilla said to the two of them as they stop their sparring.
"To think humans would try something like this, what fools. Like they have a chance against the might of Shinigamis, we'll kick their butts no problem." The younger Shinigami said to the two senpais.
"Agreed, they are fighting a losing battle against the might of the Shinigami, especially against the mighty Captain Avra ."The older Shinigami said with an arrogant tone.
"Don't underestimate them, these are the same people who wiped out half of the Aijano Gotei 13, not to mention the Nine-Tailed Fox they process as well as the 's also no telling how many other strong fighters are among them. In all the 70 years I served as Captain this is the first time ever that a large army of humans invaded the Soul Society. Be careful, they're all very powerful, easily s great of a threat as the Quncies." Corneilla explained to her men.
"I don't get it if they're this powerful, why isn't your father here to assist us, Captain Cornelia? He can easily take them out himself." Davinia asked looking a the two.
"Father is waiting for additional orders within Goshu, he'd been authorized to defend the Setirert within our country from invaders in case they attack, given he's a Captain Commander, we have little to worry about him. "
Besides he's the last person you want to fight on the battlefield. Next to, Yamamoto, he's the strongest SHinigami in the world, however, he lacks the control of his powers or experience Yamamoto. If fought alongside him back when he was still a Captain in the Quincy war, when his Captain was killed, he went on a rampage that almost destroyed the country of Germany. Hence he rarely fights unless he needs too, he's not good at holding back." Captain Avra explained to the younger Captain.
"Captain Commanders have to follow orders within the Soul King Doctrine of war, they're not allowed to fight unless it's absolutely necessary, after all, just one Captain Commander alone can accidentally destroy an entire country if they fought at full power, hence we must deal with the threat before it gets to the point. Our job is to intercept the Nine-Tailed Jinicrhiki and defeat his forces and capture him before he transforms into the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, fortunately, father picked the best person to do this job and the best group." Corneille explained to the group as they prepared to do battle as Hundred of Shinigami leave the fort to head to where Kakashi's forces are at.
50 miles northeast of the Aijano/Kyōwakoku border
12,300 Shinobi forces are up against 3,000 Shinigami forces with explosions occurring around the anbodned city. Kankuro is proving cover using his puppets to drop paper bombs and throw kunai at the enemy forces while Temari uses her fan to create gusts blowing back enemy forces.
"These guys are no pushovers!"Temari said to Baki.
"Indeed, they are well fortified within the city despite the smaller numbers."Baki replied as he clashes with a Shinigami and slashes him down with his wind sword.
"Even if they're tough, they're outnumbered 4 to 1." Temari said to the others with a confident look on her face.
Shira meanwhile dodges blades from several Shinigami dashing at him with Shunpo hitting one in the face with an elbow strike, the one in the stomach with a gut punch, one in the face with a roundhouse kick and the last one with a palm strike.
Meanwhile, Ameno and Sekka are healing a half a dozen injured Shinobi who have blood gushing out of their wounds.
"They're taking out forces faster than we can heal them up."Ameno said to her superior.
"We need to get out of here, the enemy forces injured too many of the advancing forces." Sekka replied as the Samurais are protecting the healing division from attacking Shinigami.
"Temari, cover us with a sandstorm, we'll retreat several Kilometers back and strategize how to beat through the defenses." Baki explained to the Captain of the long-range division.
"Okay then! Ninja Art: Sandstorm Jutsu." Temari responded as she swings her fan and creates a sandstorm covering several city blocks which expands across the town in a minute blinding the Shinigami.
At the outskirts of town 3, Shinigami Captains are with their forces watching the sandstorm cover the town. One of the Captains is wearing a 2nd Division Haroi with wavy brown hair with dark brown skin who's very short but muscular who appears Middle Aged, the second Shinigami is a young tall red hair woman with brown skin wearing a 5th Division Haori while the last guy is a fair skin man with brown eyes graying dull blond hair of average height with a 13th division Haori.
"So they managed to retreat it seems." the short dark-skinned Shinigami said to the other captains.
"Indeed, we should attack them while they're retreating"The woman replied with a desire to cut down her opponents.
"And risk an ambush? This is a tactic the Quinces used to bait us closer to them to pick us off from a distance, as someone who fought in the Quincy War 1,000 years ago and 200 years ago, I know better than to risk in head first." the elderly man replied to the two.
"You have a good point Captain Kabelo, we'll send a recon group to try to get intel before acting." the short Captain said to his superior.
"You're such a kiss ass Mamaune, we're not going to lose to some humans."the woman replied looking annoyed they're not attacking head first.
"You forgot Chinasa that we both have experiences fighting the wars, you were a mere child when I fought the Second Quincy War and I was not even born when Captain Kabelo fought in the first Quincy War, you might be talented but you're still green Chinasa." Mamaune explained to the young female captain.
"Why are we going to wait until they regroup? We took out 1/5th their fighting force, we can still push throughout."Chinasa said to the group.
"Because they still outnumber our forces 4 to 1, we must wait for more captains to appear with more forces to take back the city."Captain Kabelo responded.
Soul Ocean, Thousands of miles from the Seireitei
1:00 P.M. Ichigo, Chad, Uryu and Tatsuki are on a large wooden ship in the middle of the ocean. They are surprised to see the vast ocean in where the Soul Society is.
"Is this the Soul Society?" Ichigo asked looking at the vast ocean seeing a small coastline from a vast distance.
"I didn't know they had an ocean here," Chad replied as he looks around on the ship.
"So the Soul Society really is the size of our planet, Grandpa stated that their tales of how vast the Society is, it's the first time I've seen the vast size of it.
"The Soul Society is far vaster than the small part you visited months before."Said a young female voice behind them.
They turn around to see hundreds of Shinigami within the deck of the ship with the mass of the ship having the Gotei 13 logo of the Nanabei Nation.
They see a young petite girl looking no less older than themselves with short shoulder brown hair wearing a Captain Commander's Haori with light tan skin. With her is an elderly old man who with a bald head and long beard who has a cane who has notably light brown skin wearing a Squad 1 Vice Captain badge.
"Whoa is she a Captain Commander? She's rather young to be one." Uryu asked his friends.
"There's no denying it, I'm feeling the same level of power as the old man." Ichigo answered sensing a terrifying level of power coming from the small girl.
"Question is how did a young girl like her become Captain Commander?" Chas asked her.
"I'm actually over 4,000 years old, around the same age as Genyrsuari." the young girl replied.
"You're what?" Ichigo said shocked to hear that.
"But you look around our age." Tasuki stated.
"You would show our Captain Commander Ryoka or.." the old man said to them only for the Captain Commander to stop him.
"That's enough Lieutenant Julián, it's not the first time people have confused my age." the Captain Commander replied to the first squad Lieutenant.
"My apologies Captain Commander." He replied.
"Anyways where are my matters? Allow me to introduce to you the Nanabei Gotei 13. I'm Captain Commander of the Nanabei Division Coluptua Cinábrio. I've been serving the Gotei 13 for 2,000 years like Yamamoto."
"I still can't believe you're this old." Ichigo said to the Captain Commander.
"We can explain that later. Anyways, everyone introduces yourselves to the Ryoka who would be assisting us in the upcoming battles."
"Lieutenant Elpidio Julián of Squad 1 at your service."The old man said to the Ryoka.

"Man I didn't think there were different Gotei 13 factions from different parts of the world. "Ichigo said to the Captain Commander.
"We heard alot from the Aijano Gotei 13 about your skills and talents for humans." Coluptua Cinábrio said to the Ryoka."We can use you to help with the sea landing of our ships to reach the Sand Soul Beach."
"Sand Soul Beach? Come to think of it, what's with the ships?" Ichigo asked the Captain Commander.
" We come from a faraway land within the Soul Society. In this world, only 7 Nations exist and each would be the size of continents within your world. We need to you to clear the landing point for us within Grand SOul Beach so we can assist the other Shinigami in the battle against the Shinobi and we can assist the Aijano Gotei 13 soon."Coluptua Cinábrio explained to Ichio about the importance of the ships and clearing the beach.
"What are your orders?" Uryu asked her.
"Thanks to Kisuke's data I already fomrinauted a strategy to take the beach. Uryu would assist with Long Range Division and take out long-range targets such as Altitaery canons and Naval Ships and any long-range Shinobis. Chad, your job is to use your immense strength and power to clear through as many ground defenses and repel as many forces as possible to clear the landing zones for the reinforcements, Tatsuki, you're to go in and take out within the encampments and dugged in trenches and makeshift bunkers."Coluptua Cinábrio said to the Ryoka giving them orders.
"What about me ?" Ichigo asked.
"You'are in charge of the most important task possible, you and your unit would take out the stronghold of the Shinobi which is Soul City, you need to fight the commander and take back the city and defeat the special forces. I will begin organizing the units so we can begin the offensive." Cinábrio repiled.
Back at the Tekkōno Machinotoko
50 miles south of Senkiamon point, Aijano, Konoha's forces are engaged in a battle against Shinigami within the abandoned city within the Soul Society.
Tsunade is using Katusyu to protect the injured while healing them. Kakashi and his team are withstanding attacks within their improvised Earth Dome Bunker and plotting their counter-attacks. Meanwhile, Sa's ink mouse returns on where the enemy positions are at and the level of defenses.
"Looks like we got the intel we need." Sai said to everyone.
"About time. I couldn't hold this structure much longer." Kakashi replied as he was notably exhausted holding together the earth dome defense.
"There's a munitions factory within the southwest of the town in which they're using strange forms of condensed crystalized cannonballs containing Kido energy to launch at us. there are a group of shinigami that are powering the Kido canons to fire at us within the west of the town. The city has a lot of fortifications, roadblocks, and walls making it impossible to access through and there's a giant cannon that is at the center of the city guarded by a very powerful Shinigami Captain."
"Anyone as powerful as a Captain Commander there?" Tsunade asked Sai.
"No, fortunately, we don't have to deal with anyone that strong. We still got a lot of heavy opposition to deal with." Sai answered as she
"I see, Shikamaru, you got a strategy?" Kakashi asked the young Shinobi.
"Going by what sai said we need to divide our units into several teams. Choji, Kiba, Lee, Sakura, you guys would take down any walls, fornications, and hard targets throughout the city. Sai, myself and Ino would go and disable the Munitions factory. Hinata, Shino, Neji, and Tenten would disrupt the group of shinigami that are powering the Kido canons to fire at us within the west of the town. Naruto, you and Kakashi are going to attack the main center fortification of the town, everyone ready?" Shikamaru asked the Shinobi after laying out his battle plan.
"Ready when you all are." Sakura answered ass she cracked her knuckles.
"We're ready to do this! "Kiba replied as he hops on Akamaru.
"We're good to go!" Choj replied as he stands up ready to fight.
"Ready!" Neji said to the group as he activates his Byakugan.
"Byakugan!" Hinata chanted as she activates her Byakugan.
"Let's do this!" Tenten responded as she takes out a scroll and summons a wooden pole.
Sai summons an ink eagle to ride on with Ino, Shikamaru and Tenten going on the massive ink beast to ride on. They fly out of the Earthdome defense.
"Alright let's do this!" Naruto shouted as he runs out with Kakashi.
"Remember Naruto, follow the plan, do not deviate from the plan at all. Don't charge into enemy territory blindly" Kakashi said to Naruto worrying about his recklessness.
"Yeah, yeah I know," Naruto replied sounding annoyed.
The team sees a series of Kido blasts flying around the battlefield with a blue fireball coming towards Naruto and Kakashi however it's stopped by a Wooden Dome protecting them from the explosion.
"Yamato! "Naruto said to the ANBU Captain.
"Our unit would provide defenses as you guys make your cavalry charge, Naruto don't exhaust too much chakra." Yamato warned Naruto fearing he might turn into the Nine-Tailed Fox.
"I know, I know, I hate being babied!" Naruto replied being an
Meanwhile, towards the western part of Town Shino, Neji, and Tenten go towards the enemy forces there.
"Shino Now!" Neji commanded.
"Beetle Jamming Jutsu! " Shino commanded as he has millions of bugs leave his body and cover up a large enough area jamming Reaistu sensing across a certain area.
Some of the Shinigami are complaining about the lack of ability to sense the Reiastu's of the Shinobi.
"What's going on?" one of the Shinigami asked as he struggles to sense the Shinobi.
"Seems like the enemy is jamming our communications, we can't use our Reiastu sensory Kido to aim the canons." Ivanka answered trying to sense the Reiastu but failing.
"What do we do Captain?" one of the Shinigami asked her.
"Find the source of this mess and take them out, we're going into battle."Ivanka replied as she leaves the Munitions Factory to find the source of the bug jamming Justu.
Meanwhile, 100 Shinobi and 100 Shinigami are battling each other within the southern part of the city. The Shonbibi are struggling to get through the defenses as Shinigami hide behind reinforced Kido Barriers and fire Kido Blasts at the Shinobi. Sakura's unit appears to battle the forces to help the Shinobi advance further.
"CHA!" Sakura shouted as she punches through several Kido barriers shocking the shinigami as she creates a shockwave knocking back Five Shinobi with a powerful shockwave.
"What just hit us? " one of Shinigami asked as they draw their swords.
Sakura dashed through with Choji, Kiba, and Rock Lee.
"They've breached though!" one of the Shinigami shouted as they draw out their Zanpakutōs ready to fight against the attacking Shinobi.
Rock Lee see 2 Shimginai coming at him with their swords but he evades a swing aimed at his neck and does a roundhouse kick kicking a SHinigami in the face and punches a SHinigami in the gut before they can cut him with a vertical slash.
"Fang Over Fang!" Kiba shouted as him and Akamaru dash through and shatter a large barrier advancing them further into the enemy territory with the destruction of the barrier knocking back 4 Shinigami onto the ground.
"Hado#33 Sotasuki!" 10 Shinigami chanted as they fire 10 blasts of blue fireballs toward Kiba
However, a building comes down last second to shield Kiba from the blasts as the SHinigami stare up to see the cause of the building collapse.
"Nice one Choji." !'Kiba said to the massive 30-foot tall Shinobi.
"Leave this to me!" Choji replied as he walks at high speeds towards the Shinigami.
"RETREAT! THE ENEMY HAS BROKEN TOO, THEY'RE TOO STRONG! GET THE CAPTIANS HERE ASAP!" The remaining Captains shouted as they retreat inward into the defenses.
Meanwhile one of the Oshu Captains and Vice Captains get word of the breach that occurring.
"Captain Avra, our southern defenses with just breached through." one of the Oshu Shinigami said to him.
"Send reinforcements, I'll be approaching that area soon to take down the threats breaching our defenses." Captain Tayler Avra replied as he heads down to intercept the Assault Shinobi Team.
Meanwhile, Sai, Ino, and Shikamaru fly over the Munitions factory when they see cannons being loaded with Kido containing crystals. THey're spotted by the SHinigami and they aim their cannons at them.
"Fire !" One of the Shinigami commanded as a canon containing a crystalized ball is shot at them but Sai manages to evade the shot before it hits the wing of his ink bird.
"Whoa: Talk about to close for comfort." Shikamaru said to the team.
"Ino, They got more aimed at us!" Ino replied as they saw more canons aimed at him.
"Hadō #57. Daichi Tenyō (大地転踊, Upturned Earth Dance;)" One of the Shinigami chanted as he thrusts his hands outward, causing bricks around him to levitate and fly at the team but Sai evades the attacks.
"Hadō #78. Zangerin (斬華輪, Cutting Flower Ring; Viz "Slicing Flower Ring")" one of the Shinigami chanted as generates a large amount of energy from her Zanpakutō before blasting it outward forcing Sai to dodge the slash inches from wings.
"Hadō #31. Shakkahō (赤火砲, Red Fire Cannon; Viz "Red Flame Cannon" 5 SHinigmamis chanted as they fire red fireballs at Sai's team but Ino uses a barrier to protect them.
" A Mental barrier like your dad?" Shikamaru asked Ino
"I can only hold it for a few seconds, these guys are throwing everything at us including the kitchen sink. Sai do something." Ino asked him as she tries to maintain the barrier.
"I got this! Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll1"Sai chanted as he quickly drew 5 birds with explosive tags to hit 25 Shinigami with large explosions knocking back them and incapacitating them. The other shinigami are caught in the blinding smoke from the explosions and some covered in ink blinding them quickly
"Ino Now!" Shikamaru said to Ino as Ino does hand signs to activate her Jutsu
"Mind Transfer Clone Jutsu!" Ino Chanted as she manages to control 10 Shinigami to get them to fight each other.
"What's going on?" One of the shinigami asked as he's forced to strike one of his own.
"We're under control!" the second shinigami answered as he's slashed down by the first Shinigami.
The shinigami are fighting against each other creating chaos amongst the formation. Some of the SHinigami see Ino controlled them and aim to attack the shinobi,
"Attack the girl !" one of the shinigami shouted ass they prepare for incantations.
"Sir I can't move." one of the Shinigami asked as he struggles to move.
"Neither can I!" said a female Shinigami as she struggles to move as well.
"Shadow Possession Jutsu successful!" Shikamaru said as he paralyzed 20 Shinigami leaving them unable to move.
Come on men, break free!" the Shinigami commanded as they try to break free only to see shadow hands grab them.
"Arggh! "The Shinigami shouted as they are strangled by the shadows.
"Shadow Strangulation Jutsu!" Shikamaru chanted as he knocks out or kills 20 Shinigami caught up in his shadows knocking down the wave.
One Shinigami, however, charges up a very powerful Kidō blast shocking Ino and Shikamaru. The Shinigami is roughly 8 feet tall
"Not bad Shinobi, however, I'm the 3rd Seat of Squad 4 James Yorkstone, the Kido blaster of my squad. Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens" the massive man said as she charges up an immense amount of blue Ki.
However, Sai leaps from the eagle and does a devastating dropkick knocking down the 3rd seat with a single kick. smashing them through the ground incapacitating the Shinigami with a devastating blow.
"Thanks, Sai!" Ino said to the former Root member.
"You're welcome, now let's advance into the Munitions Factory." Sai replied as they head to the factory.
Meanwhile Kakashi, Naruto, and Yamato advance towards the center of the town. 200 Shinigami are fighting 200 Shinobi in a series of Jutsu clashes and clashes between Kunai and Zanpakuto.
"Head straight forward!" Kakashi said to Naruto and Yamato as he shoots a Hado #33 Soatysuki to knock down 5 shinigami down copied from his Sharrigan.
"We got company." said one of the Shinigami as they all direct their attention towards Kakashi.
"Those who use fireball Jutsus, lanch fireball Jutsu." Kakashi commanded the troops.
"Yes Commander Kakashi." the Shinobi replied as they shoot hundreds of fireballs to provide covering fire for Kakashi and Naruto as well as Yamato.
The Shinigami reply with their rain of Soatuski's and Shakaokos clashing with the fireball rain.
"Whoa, this is intense!" Naruto said to Kakashi as they run past the chaos.
"That's war for you! All the more reason you can't get careless, one misstep could mean your death." Kakashi replied as he dodged a Baykurai that almost hit his check.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu." Kakashi chanted as he summons a large water dragon that knocks back 15 Shinigami clearing a path for them.
Naruto dodges several SHinigami sword strikes as they inch near him and evades another strike.
"Rasengan!" Naruto chanted as he hits a Shinigami with one and knocks him into 5 Shinigami knocking them down.
5 Shinigami charge at Naruto with their Zanpakutos, however, Yamato stops them.
"Wood Style: Giant Forest Jutsu" Yamato chanted as he uses wooden tendrils toe engulf the Shinigami and knock them aside.
10 Shinigami blast Kakashi with a barrage of Shakahko blasts however they hit a shadow clone with Kakashi up in the air.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu." Kakashi chanted as he shoots a massive fireball hitting the Shinigami engulfing the area and killing 5 Shinigami
The Shinobi manage to advance thanks to Kakashi, Yamato, and Naruto.
"Thanks, Kakashi sensei!" One of the Shinobi said to the Copy Cat Ninja.
Kakashi, Naruto and Yamato advance into the main canon as they head towards the main canon when they are to take it out.
Meanwhile at the main canon. The Captain is alerted of the presence of the approaching Shinobi.
"Captain Civornadon, we got company! "said one of Shinigami.
"I see, load the Kakaku Hō, we're going to take out the pest before they get close." Captain Civornadon replied as she has her men load up a massive Crystal Reishūkaku that's as large and wide as a human carried by 5 Shinigami loaded onto a canon roughly the size Kukaku has
"Let's see how well these Shinobi can take a Kakaku Hō with a shell capable of killing even a Captialn Class Shinigami. Fire!" she ordered as a deafening blast comes from the canon as the shell goes up into the air going past the clouds at Hypersonic velocities
Meanwhile Kakashi, Naruto, and Yamato were in the middle of the town when they see a massive Reishūkaku shell falling towards them like a meteor that's around the size of a human body.
"That round's larger than any canon we've seen so far. " Naruto said to them notably frightened
"We're not going to let ourselves get it by it.
"Lightning Hound" Kakashi chanted as he shoots a lightning blast shaped like a hound towards the incoming cannonball, however, they absorbed it with captain Civornadon, watching the shell inch closer.
" It absorbed the blast." Yamato said looking surprised to see it absorbed Kakashi's Jutsu as it was reaching close towards them.
"Fools, a Reishūkaku shell is capable of piercing through even the barrier protected by Sekiseki stone, you're going to need to do better than that to destroy it."
" Wood Style: Giant Forest Jutsu " chanted as he summons wooden tendrils to try to stop the large cannon shell but it goes through his tendrils and inches towards Yamato.
"Yamato!" Kakashi shouted as he's about to activate his Mangkenyo Sharrigan.
"Wind Style:Rasenshiruken!" Naruto chanted as he uses two clones to form it and throws the Rasenshrukien towards the incoming Reishūkaku shell, the attack collides within the shell in mid-air with Yamato summoning a wooden dome to protect them from the explosion of Naruto's Jutsu.
Captain Civornadon observed the attack notably impressed.
"These Shinobi are formidable, to stop a Mega Reishūkaku shell with nothing but raw power, that's something else. Perhaps these Shinobi really do live up to their hype. Everyone assemble to take these Shinobi down." Captain Civornadon commanded as she draws her Zanpakuto ready to fight.
Meanwhile at Karakura Highschool
Keigo and Mizuro are in class with Chizuru talking to each other during the transfer into the final period of the school day.
"Hard to believe that it's already close to schoolday ending guys." Mizurio said to them.
"Indeed, it felt like a few minutes passed since 3rd period," Chizuru stated.
"What's up Keigo, you're not so talkative as usual." Mizuro asked Keigo.
"I just can't stop thinking about Ichigo and the others. We're just sitting around here while they're risking their lives to fight the Shinobi, I feel so powerless." Keigo notably moody at this.
"Don't blame yourself, we've seen first hand the strength of the Shinobi, they were beyond anything comprehendible we've ever seen." Mizurio replied trying to play it off.
"I wish I can fight them, those bastards would pay for destroying our town." Keigo said looking notably angry which is unusual for him.
"Hopefully Ichigo and the others save Orihime and get her back. I miss." Chiruzu said to the two of them notably sad.
Meanwhile at Soul Beach.
Meanwhile, a series of minor fights erupt throughout the Soul Beach area. the battlefield is filled with sounds as blasts of Kido and the eruption of explosions caused by Justus pollute the serene sounds of the beach front.
Uryu is being led by Captain of Squad 2 Toño Espiridiónm with 400 Shinigami skilled at range combat and Kido spells to take ou the long-range targets from a distance. Uryu sees several alterity canons shooting large balls of Chakra paper bombs at incoming ships and at Shinigmai on the beach.
"Uryu, take out those cannons from a distance while my men advance towards the beach." Captain Espiridión commanded the Qunicy.
"Right." Uryu replied as he draws out his energy bow ready to shoot at some stationary targets from a distance.
Uryu's arrow land and take out 5 canons within a fair distance reducing the volume of fire from the enemy side.
"Now charge."Captain Espiridión commanded as his forces advance into enemy terrority going to take back the beach as they head towards the beach using their reishi to walk on water.
The Shinigami charge at the beach with them being under a rain of kunai, Jutsu and explosives as they reach close tot heir destination. Several Shonbi launches their attacks towards Uryu.
"Spread, Tayasei fantamuekō (た野生ファンタムエコーWild Phantom Echo )" Espiridión chanted as he transforms his Zanpakuto into a short morning Star with a carved head. He throws it at Uryu which produces a sound barrier protecting Uryu from two Water Jutsus.
"Thanks, Captain!" Uryu said to the captain of squad 2 of the Nanbei division.
"Now hit the targets before they launch their second attack." Espiridión said to Uryu as the barrier dissipates an nd he catches his own throwing star.
"Right!" Uryu shoots his arrow taking out two shinobi before they can form hand signs from a fair distance at the hill of the beach while he is standing on the water.
One Water Shinobi goes for a water jutsu
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu." the Shinobi chanted as he summons a massive dragon-shaped water tendril heading towards a group of Shinigami.
"Not happening!" Uryu responded as he chares up an arrow and shoots it through the water.
":Nice job Qunicy, everyone fire at that hill over there. Use any ranged attacks and Kido spells." commanded as he throws his Shikai to hit several Shinobi on the cliffside of the beach as his forces advance further into the beach.
"Bud, Bunkō Haka (分光墓 Spectral Tomb)" Vice Captain Valeria chanted as she transforms her Zanopakuto into several dozen SHiruken as she throws them hitting 4 Shinobi, with each projectile piercing through their flak jackets killing them.
Uryu then sees 2 ships appear within the water as they aim their canons towards the advancing Shinigmai.
"Fire! " one of the Shinobi commanded as they fire cannonballs made of a ball of paper bombs towards the Shinigami.
"Klavier (クラヴィーア, Kuravīa; German for "Piano")"Uryu chanted as he shoots a multitude of arrows with one hand taking out the cannonballs and then take out the canons with the other the canons, destroying them
Meanwhile, on the of the Shinobi wooden battleships, one of the Shinobi's comments on the fact they're ranged weapons were just token out.
"How did one person take out our canons?" One of the Shinobi asked.
"Doesn't matter, let's combine jutsus together." the other Shinobi answered as 20 Shinobi do hand signs to charge up their spell.
" Water Style: Giant Water Bullet" the Shinobi chanted as they co bine their water blasts from the mouths to forge a giant blast of water heading towards the advancing Shinigami.
"El Directo!" Chad countered as he punches the massive water blast with his o powerful blast of energy from his fist completely negating the Jutsu.
"Nice one Chad!" Uryu said to the giant as he fires a powerful charged arrow shot through the ship where the Shinobi are at, punching a massive hole through it and causing the ship to start sinking.
Uryu advances towards forward only to dodge rockets fired at him. It is around this point that Uryu encounters a Special Jounin from Gestugakagure using an armored-suit with canons and kunai machine guns.
"You might be tough but you're up against the might Special Jounin Tesko. Prepare to be obliterated by my Ninja Tools." the Special Jounin said to Uryu as he fires a massive barrage of missiles, exploding tags and bullet-like kunai towards Uryu and his advancing group.
"Too Easy!" Uryu replied as he counters the rain of projectiles with a rain of arrows with one hand and then shoots the Special Jounin multiple time,s shattering the Charka Armor, beating him on shot.
"Whoa Uryu's improved, he took out a Special Jounin with a single hit."Ichigo said to himself impressed by how much stronger Uryu has become.
"These Ryoka are stronger than I thought they were." one of trhe SHinobi asked.
Meanwhile, Ichigo and Tatsuki rush closer to the beach leading the Shinigami. They are joined by Chad and Uryu as they rush the beach.
"Good job Uryu!" Ichigo said to the Qunicy as they arrive at the shoreline.
"Thanks, father trained me in a lot of techniques in the last month." the qunicy replied back.
They arrive at the beach when they see plenty of strong fortifications formed out of Cement.
"How did the enemy form concrete fortifications so fast?" Ichigo asked them as they look around only to see several dozen Shinobi come out and cast their jutus's towards the Shinigami trying to retake the beach.
"Lava Style: Quicklime Jutsu" 20 Shinobi chanted as they shoot a large quantity of quicklime from their mouth.
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo countered as he shoots a large Geustga completely negating the jutsu and vaporizing the concrete.
"Nice one Ichigo!" Tatsuki said to her friend as she leaps over and then goes into a Makeshift bunker.
Tatsuki then takes out several Shinobi using her punches and kicks to basically take out the Shinobi within the bunker. One of the Shinobi then come toward Tatsuki, a Hunter-Nin.
"Looks like you meet the end of your life Shinigami." a Hunter-Nin said to her as he draws out his sword with Tatsuki ready to fight him.
" Wrong I'm a human, not a shinigami. A Human out for revenge for what you bastards have done " Tatsuki replied as she gets into a martial arts stance.
"Foolish, a rookie upstart doesn't stand a chance against me." the Hunter Nin said to Tatsukias 10 more Hunter Nin come and surround her.
"You guys aren't so tough, I've been trained by a real Assassin, you guys are literally nothing to me.."Tatsuki arrogantly smirked.
One of the Ninja comes towards Tatuski charging at her with her blade but Tatsuki evades the attack. as the blade almost touches her scalp.
"Washitsume Jōshōshi (ワシ爪上昇しRising Eagle claw )" Tatuski chanted as she does a very powerful uppercut which knocks the Hunter Nin through the roof of the makeshift cement bunker knocking them out.
"Take this!" One of the Hunter Nin chanted as he throws several senbons towards Tatsuki but she manages to evade the attack.
"Toraisei(虎の威勢Dashing Tiger)" Tatsuki countered as she draws back her fist while her scarf flutters in the wind, then suddenly dash forward fist-first unto the gut of the Hunter Nin and knocking him out.
Two Shinobi surround her from her sides as well as one Shinobi from the front and one from behind then attack Tatuski at once.
"Water Style: Water Whip Jutsu!" 4 Hunter NIn Ninjas chanted as they grab each of her limbs with water whips holding her back
"Damn it !" Tatsuki shouted as she struggles to break free of the water whips tilting her limbs.
"Let's finish her." one of the Hunter Nin said to the others as he drew out his Tanto and goes to finish Tatsuki
However, Tatsuki breaks free of the ropes and strikes each Hunter Nin with a powerful kick and evades a strike from the Hunter Nin wielding a Tanto.
"Maitiken (マイティ剣Mighty Sword)" Tatuski canted as she does an overhead karate chop to the neck followed by an uppercut to the chin knocking out the Hunter Nin.
"Get her!" One of the Hunter Nin shouted as they charge at her but she evades a strike and catches on of the Hunter Nin off-guard
"Shiwashi (死のワシEagle of Death)" Tatsuki chanted as she punches her opponent in the groin, then punches him in the head and torso three more times, and finishes with an upward punch that sends them flying into the air. Tatsuki does a flying double chop to the downed foe's chest knocking him out.
"Hidden Mist Jutsu!" the last remaining Hunter Nin chanted as he covered the bunker in a deep mist.
Tatsuki stands there and closes her eyes.
"Yoruichi, time for your training to pay off. " she said to herself as she sees a ninja attempting to slash at her
"Got you!" the mist ninja shouted as he attempted to stab Tatsuki in the chest, however, Tatsuki sidestepped the blade last second and parries it with a jumping kick to the solar plexus.
"Torasuto Kyūshū (虎はストに急襲Tiger Pouncing Strike)"Tatsuki chanted as she follows up the kick with a jumping knee strike to the stomach which sends the missing min flying and then hit him with a spinning kick, sending the ninja flying before she hits him with an uppercut to knock him into the air, then leaps up and does an axe kick to the neck which slams the foe down knocking out the Hunter Nin.
Tatsuki then heats of flames around her fists.
"Time to take this baby down. " Tatsuki said herself as she punches the floor of the bunker with her flaming fists which completely destroys the makeshift bunker created by Lava Ninja.
Meanwhile, Chas is advancing with several Shinigami groups when he sees several makeshift bunkers from a distance get destroyed by Tatsuki.
"Looks like Tatsuki's doing her job. Now it's my turn." Chad said to himself as he went with the other Shinigami to break through the barricades blocking the paths throughout the beach.
The shinobi see the charging Shinigami coming through and begin to attack with a wave of Kunai and Jutsus sending water blasts, fireballs, paper bomb spam and other Jutsus to attack the charging Shinigami, however, Chad turns his arm into a shield to block the incoming projectiles as he heads close to the formations.
"El Directo!" Chad chanted as punches at the makeshift formations blowing up the makeshift barricade and blowing away the shinobi hidden there.
He then sees another earth wall built not too far from him where several Shinobi fire their Jutsus from the makeshift earth wall.
"Water Style: Raging Water" One of the Shinobi chanted as he shoots a massive water blast from his mouth towards Chad, however, the fullbringer manages to block the attack with his arm shield.
"El Directo" Chad chanted as he fires another powerful blast towards another Earthwall destroying the earth wall and causing the Shinobi to fall down, getting knocked unconscious.
It was there where Chad barely evades a Samurai with a charka enhanced Kanabao swinging it around which causes a shockwave kicking up dirt in the air.
"You're not bad, to take out such great earth wall defenses, you must be strong." one of the Samurai said to Chad as he swings around his massive Kabaano.
"You must be one of the special Jounin. Hence I have to take you out." Chad said to the Special Jounin level samurai.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK!" the Special Jounin Samurai shouted as he tries to strike Chad with his Kamabao only for Chad to tank the strike with ease blocking with his shield arm.
"Is that all you got ?" Chad said stoically as he effortlessly shatters the Kanabo with his shield arm despite the weapon being enhanced with Charka.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" The special Jounin shouted shocked to see his weapon broke as he then gets punched by Chad and sent flying.
"That wasn't so hard." Chad said to himself.
With the Earth walls coming down and bunkers being destroyed with canons and various ranged shinobi falling., Ichigo charges directly head first with the rest of the cavalry throughout the beach and heading towards Soul City to recapture the city.
"You guys are doing better than expected Ryoka." said to Ichigo
"Now you know how we were able to challenge the Gotei 13 and we've only gotten stronger since then." Ichigo replied as he dashed towards the city with his unit.
Several Shinobi head towards Ichigo and his unit only for one of the Captains to counter the attack.
"Obliterate, Jishin(地震 Earthquake) " Rosalinda chanted as she transforms her Shikai into a Javierln and throws it, hitting the Shinobi and causing an earthquake knocking down nearby Shinigami.
Meanwhile, Ichigo dashes towards the Shinobi charging towards him but he easily defeats them with swings of his sword. After a while, Ichigo advances closer to the port city only to dodge a series of explosions aimed at him.
Ichigo looks at a massive battleship made of wood with 20 canons with 100 Shinobi with a Special Jounin Krikagure Ninjia on top of the ship.
" Men fire" the Speical Joiunin chanted as he has the ship fire 20 cannonballs towards Ichigo only for Ichigo to counter and deflect multiple cannonballs.
"You gotta do better than that!" Ichigo replied as he casually deflected the cannonballs from his unit with a casual swing.
"Men, all of you, fire your water Jutsu" the commander tells them as they all do handsigns building up Charka to attack Ichigo and his forces with.
" Water Style Water Dragon Bullet!" 100 Shinobi chanted as they all combine their Charka to form a massive water Dragon that heads towards Ichigo.
"That water dragon is huge!" one of Shinigami shouted as they retreat from the advancing water Dragon that is looking over them. I
Ichigo stood there not worried.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY RYOKA, THERE'S ENOUGH POWER THERE TO KILLL EVEN A CAPTIAN"Rosadilina shouted as even she was evading the attacks
Ichigo puts two hands together and holds back the massive water dragon with both hands as he's pushed back slightly shocking everyone.
"He's holding back the blast!" Rosadilina said shocked to see Ichigo holding back a Captain level blast combined from 100 Shinobi using a B ranked Water Jutsu.
"Take this !" Ichigo deflects the water blast away from the Platoon and into the sky.
The SHinobi looked shocked and horrified seeing such a feat of strength.
"Men stand down, I'll deal with this threat myself." The Shinobi Captain said to his forces as he leaps off the ship and appears in front of Ichigo.
"So you're one of the Jounin huh?" Ichigo asked the Shinobi as he sees him draw out a large sword.
"I'm Captain Guta, one of the commanders of the Kirikguare Naval Force." the Shinobi answered as he takes his sword and they both clash attacks with each other with Ichigo and him clashing blades with each other.
Uryu, Chad and Tatsuki re watching Ichigo battle against the Jounin level Shinobi.
"Man Ichigo is amazing," Tatsuki said to Uryu and Chad.
"Indeed, he's keeping up with a Captain level Shinobi Shinobi with just his Shikai." Chad replied.
"Wait, just his Shikai? You're saying he's yet to use his full power?" Tatsuki asked.
"A Shinigami has two states of they're Zanpakuto, Shikai and Bankai. A Shikai allows them to use 10% of their full power while a Bankai allows them to use all 100% of their power, that's not even counting Ichigo's Hollow Mask which increases his power by 500 %. Ichigo really improved greatly in the last month to be handling a Captain level Shinobi with ease now." Uryu explained to Tatsuki stating that Ichigo hasn't even broken a sweat.
Ichigo is pushed back from the sword of the Jounin level Shinobi and the Jounin does a series of quick hand signs.
"Water Style Water Vortex Jutsu" Guta chanted as he shoots a massive vortex of water towards Ichigo.
"Hmm" Ichigo responded as he swings his sword and generates an energy wave which completely cancels out the water Jutsu.
"Whoa so that's what a GestguaTehsno looks like, he was able to cancel out that blast with ease."
"Look again, that was merely a partcile Swing generating air pressure from the contact of the blade. Ichigo's improved so much he can generate sword pressure from Reaistu to generate a smaller scale version of a Getusga." Uryu replied noticing Ihciog barely swung his blade with enough force.
" Wait, you're saying he did that without breaking a sweat?" Tatsuki asked shocked to see Ichigo master such an attack.
Ichigo Chares up his Reaistu and is about to unleash it impressing everyone as an aura of blue flames around him.
"Such an intense Reaistu." the Shinobi Captain shouted as he was going to strike Ichigo with his blade while his blade.
"Gestuga Tensho." Ichigo countered as he swings his sword shooting an intense blast. The Shinobi evades the attack only to see the battleship clearly sliced in half.
"Incredible, that attack was easily on the level of a Bankai, how can one Ryoka have that much power? "Espiridión said to himself shocked to see such power.
"I SURRENDER!" Gurta shouted as he drops his sword and goes to his knees.
The shinobi that jump off the sinking ship also surrender to the Shinigami forces.
"That was incredible Ichigo, to think the training with the Vizards would pay off so well." Uryu said to Ichigo.
"That training was extremely tough, I barely survived that much training, however, I was able to finally control my Reaitsu." Ichigo explained to Uryu as he recalls his training.
"I can see what Former Captain Urahaha and our Captain Commander recommended you to assist in our forces alongside the beaches, your strength is a lot more than the typical Suubisutue Shinigami ." Espiridión said to Ichigo as he sees Ichigo standing there.
"Thanks, I'm determined to end this war and to rescue Orihime from Aizen." Ichigo replied as he looked serious and determined to rescue Orihime.
Back at Tekkōno Machinotoko
50 miles south of Senkiamon point, Tsunade is using Katusyu to protect the injured while healing them.
"Looks like things are going fine, looks like I'm not needed yet for battle." Tsunade said to herself as she was healing the injured with her abilities.
Meanwhile, towards the western part of Town Shino, Neji, and Tenten go towards the enemy forces there when they're interpreted by a Captain wearing a Haroi with a Rapier shaped Zanpakuto with the Squad 9 insignia on the Haori followed by two vice Captains, one from Squad 9 and another from another Squad.
"Looks like you guys came far enough." the captain said to them as he drew his Zanpkauto the assistance within his Luitetant and several dozen Shinigami.
"Guys incoming, we got powerful threats." Neji said to everyone as he got ready to fight.
"Looks like we're in for a tough fight." Tenten replied as she takes out her scroll ready to fight.
"Looks like the results of our training will be tested here." Shino responded as bugs come out of his body.
"Name's Augusta Jasna, Captain of Squad 9, you must be the Shinobi's coming here to provoke a war with us."
"After you guys attacked us, it's only right we come for revenge:" Tenten stated.
"You people attacked us first, we're merely defending ourselves and protecting the balance of souls."
"So that's your motive huh? We'll nothing justifies destroying a village and killing innocent problem you people are even worse monsters than we thought possible." Neji replied angrily as he prepared his fighting stance against the Captain of Squad 9.
"If that's how you wish to play it, we'll just exterminate you were you stand humans,"Augusta replied as he prepared to face off with Neji.
Meanwhile, Sai, Ino, and Shikamaru along with their unit finished when they encounter the Vice Captain of Squad 5 along with several Shinigami.
"This is as far as you go." said a pale-skinned Shinigami with: Mid-length, curly, dull blond with small brown eyes.
"We got company!" Shikamaru said to them as he takes out a kunai.
"There's several powerful Shinigami there, we got to maintain our guard." Sai said to the others as he drew out his Tanto.
Kakashi, Yamato, and Naruto advance towards the main canon when they encounter the Captain of Squad 6 Captain Civornadon, along with the Captain of Squad 8 and Captain of Squad 11 and Captain of Squad 10.
The Captain of Squad 8 towered over the other Captains with his massive muscular body towering over 8 feet tall appearing to be over 400 pounds of muscle with fair skin. The Captain is bald and shirtless wearing a sleeveless Haori who has a brown handlebar mustache with a distinct two-handed Giant broadsword shaped Zanpakuto.
"That's far enough Shinobi!" said the massive muscle-bound SHimigai as he lands right next to Naruto and the others.
"He's huge!" Naruto said shocked at his size.
"That's as far as you get are getting." Cornelia Civornadon said to the three of them as, the strongest Captain in the ranks and leader of the assault.
"Looks like we found outside a very good amount of opponents here guys, I'm ready to throw down any minute now."A young male Shinigami said processing blue hair and has a fairly muscular body of average height.
"Calm down Pankratios, there's enough of them to go around to fight for all of us." a young man replied appearing similar to the squad 11 Captain but processing short Green Hair.
"Don't be a stick in the mud Heino, I want to fight so badly" Pankartos replied as he was ready to throw down.
"Silence you idiots, take this fight seriously, these guys are strong,"Corneila commanded the two.
"Looks like we're up against 4 Captains and it's just the three of us." Kakashi said to the team trying to play off the fact they're outnumbered.
"That's not good odds."Yamato replied nervously.
"Nonsense, we got this, I can take two captains at once." Naruto replied nonchalantly.
"Naruto, don't get arrogant, remember this is a war zone, one wrong move and you will die." Kakashi stated warning Naruto.
"Don't worry, I'll take those two over there.." Naruto said to Kakashi as he goes to face off against the giant and the shorter Shingimai.,
"Naruto...Damn it." Kakashi said to him only for Yamato to stop him.
"If things go south, I'll be sure to stop him for sure this time. I've been improving on my sealing jutsu against this Nine-Tails, it's best we leave Naurot to fight the two, for now, we can stop his rampaging power later." Yamato explained to Kakashi.
"Fine, but if Naruto is losing and turns Nine-Tails, we're going to have to find a way to beat these captains before getting to Naruto." Kakashi said to Corneilla.
;'How foolish, you guys assume we're going to give you the chance. Asehrlman, Pankratios deal with the Nine-Tails."
"Right" the two replied as they both surrounded Naruto.
"Kakashi Hatake, you're a Shinobi considered high priority, the one who bested Byakuya Kuchiki and Toshiro Hitsugaya, some of the strongest Captains of our generation however you're dealing with the Captain who is the Captain Commander of Oshu's daughter in law , I've been a Shinigami long before the kid you fought was even born and while Kuchiki was merely a child, let' see how you fair against a Captain with twice as much experience as the last two captains you fought. I'm Captain of Squad 6 of the Oshu Division Cornelia Civornadon, you will fail we would capture the Tailed Beast." Cornelia said to Kakashi.
"Careful there, that level of arrogance is what caused the last two captains nearly their lives, I'm not going to fall so easily." Kakashi replied as he removes his headband over his eye revealing his SHarrgian and takes out a Tanto ready to fight.
Meanwhile, Yamato is about to take on Captain of Squad 10 Heino Ognjan.
"You're up against the Captain of Squad 10, Heino Ognjan." the young green haired captain said to Yamato.
"What a coincidence, I'm also Captain of Squad 10, Yamato." Yamato replied as he was ready to face off against the Captain of Squad 10.
Meanwhile, Naruto was ready to fight against two captains at once.
'I want to fight him Ansehelm" PanKartos shouted.
'You had your turn last time when we had an opponent to fight." Ansehelm replied.
"Only one way to settle this, and that's by using Rock, Paper Scissors." Pankartos smirked as he was ready
"Sure thing Ansehelm." he replied as they both do Rock Paper Scissors, however, the big brute of a captain ends up winning"Yes I won, that means I get to fight this shrimp frist."
"Shrimp, please I wouldn't even need to take any of you seriously."Naruto replied bored from the two,
"Like you stand a chance against the most muscular and hugest Captain in the Soul Society, the Legendary Iron Muscle Ansehelm Eglantine, Captain of Squad 8, the squad of real men and real muscle" the Squad 8 bolstered as he flexed his massive muscles in front of Naruto.
"Yamn, you're seriously boring me."Naruto replied.
Meanwhile at Soul Beach.
Ichigo arrives at his destination after fighting through waves of enemies and projectiles. It's at this point, Ichigo encounters Ao who has 100 elite forces who are all ANBU level.
"That's as far as you go Shingimai." Ao said to Ichigo as he walks slowly towards him as Ichigo is surrounded by ANBU ninjas
"So you're the big shot that town over the city?" Ichigo asked the one eye Shinobi.
"You're the one that the Shinobi Alliance deems to be a threat to the Shinobi World?" Ao Answered as he was ready to fight within his fighting stance similar to the Hyuggas/
"All I know is that I'm going to kick your ass, now then let's get this out of the way." Ichigo replied nonchalantly as he was ready to fight the Veteran Jounin.
"To defeat a small Battalion of Kirikagure SHinobi is no small task, it seems I'm going to need to fight with my full abilities to beat your kid." Ao stated as he readied himself.
Uryu arrives at the main battleship where he prepares to destroy the core of the fleet where he encounters a projectile heading towards him.
"An Arrow? "Uryu said shocked to see the speed of the projectile as he barely dodges the attack by inches towards his face as he sees what appears to be a giant sewing needle on a long string.
"You're the first to have evaded that attack, Shinigami!" the man said revealing that he had short shaggy brown hair with his face covered within an ANBu mask wearing the Kirikagure Missin Nin Unti outfit.
"Don't compare me to some Shinigami, I'm a Quincy: "Uryu reoiled furious at the comparison
"Doesn't matter what you call yourself, you're dead either way. I find it impressive you're able to react quickly enough to my Nurbai" the masked man replied.
"What's with your weapon? It's rather unodordtox" Uryu asked the ANBU mask wearing Shinobi.
"This is the legendary Nuibari, a sword passed down to me by my father, the legendary Hunter Nin Captain and member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Kuriarare, I'm his son Nori Kuriarare who wields father's legendary sword. I spent many years mastering my father's techniques with this blade and have killed many people with this blade, it seems you have the worst luck encountering me. For against me, death is certain and it won't be a quick and painless death either." Nori explained himself to Uryu.
"You're rather overconfident of your abilities aren't you? "Uryu asked the Shinobi.
"Only because I can back it up, Nurbari isn't merely a simple sword, Nurari is the lightest weapons to be wielded by humans, no heavier than 10 senbons yet has the ability to penetrate even the most solid of defenses, the long string attached makes it possible to kill you at a fairly; far distance without even being detected. With this, I can kill an entire small ballaltion of Shinobi before they can react, now then time to end the introduction, time to kill you." Nori explained to Uryu before casting a mist around the battlefield.
"A sword as light as 10 Senbons and hard to detect, I have my work cut out for me. " Uryu said to himself as he takes out his energy bow he summons within his hands.
Meanwhile, Chad is advancing through with his unit only to get hit by a powerful shockwave which knocks back the 10 sHinigami following him.
"What the hell was that?" One of the Shinigami asked Chad.
"Look at the size of that guy." another Shinigami replied breaking out as a giant Shinobi emerged roughly 7 feet tall towering over even Chad weilding what appears to be a War Mallet chained with a battle ax.
"You all came far enough, I'm impressed you made it this far however you have to deal with the Son of Jinin Akebino, Jotaro Akebino, the current wielder of the Kabutowari and Captain of the Heavy Infantry Unit within Kirikagure." the massive man said to Chad as he swung his blades around.
"It seems I'm up against a Jounin! I had a feeling this was going to happen." Chad said Nonchstlnty as he turns his right arm to a shield.
"Fool, there's nothing my Kabutowari can't shatter, it can smash anything I hit, best you run otherwise you would get pulverized." Jotraro aggorantly bragged.
Meanwhile, Tastuki is at the last bunker within Soul Beach when she encounters a young man with a peachfuzz beard with a standard Kiirkgaure Shinobi outfit with wielding googles on wielding the legendary Shibuki.
"You came far enough. " the young man said as he swings the sword creating a massive explosion overwhelming Tatsuki but Tatsuki dodged the explosion.
"Whoa, an explosion sword!" Tatsuki asked shocked to see a sword explode on impact.
"This is the legendary Shibuki, an explosion sword passed down by my father, Jinpachi Munashi. This blade utilizes various explosive tags, contained within a substantial scroll, in order to incorporate explosions into the user's own swordsmanship, earning it the title of "blastsword" I'm Ginpachi Munashi, the son of Jinpachi Munashi, Captain of the Demolition Corps and member of the new Legendary Swordsmen." he said to Tatsuki wielding the blade.
"And I'm Tatsuki Airwara, I'm going to beat you." she replied as she generates flames around her fists.
Meanwhile, Ichigo was fighting against Ao clashing against his Kuai with his Shikai.
"You are a threat to the world Ichigo Kurosaki, as Ao of Kirikagure, I shall eliminate you from this world." Ao shouted as he was determined to defeat Ichigo.
"And as a Shinigami, I would rid the world of you Shinobi batards!" Ichigo replied as he clashed again with Ao.
To be continued
(A/N:Sorry for the long Hitau from the fanfic, it's just that it becomes a lot harder trying to invest in a fanfiction in which you have so many things to work on at the same time, especially when I have a lot of current issues with the continuity of Boruto and how much of a poorly written mess that is but I'm finally back in the saddle and dedicated to at the very least finishing this arc and the first part of the Fan Fiction. Also hope you like some of the OC's I've created to be a good method of test for the Bleach and Naruto characters, especially the New generation of Seven Swordsmen who are around the same age as Sugiestu within this timeline. As for Ichigo vs Ao, what better way to test Ichigo's strength and power improvement than pit him against a Veteran Jounin who wields Byakugan and is well known for his speed. No he's not going to be using miniguns or anything retarded like that, he's going to be using actual jutsu here and using attacks that fit with his Hunter Nin fighting style and nature so expect a very action packed chapter next chapter after the build-up and expect everyone to kick ass, especially Tatsuki.)
